Part 3
Eayaaa —— Along with this young moan, Izayoi was washing Lily’s hair.
Although I had followed Izayoi in with the intention to wash his back, how did it come to this situation where he’s helping to wash my hair? Even though Lily held those queries in her head, but seeing how Izayoi seemed to be in such a good mood, she decided to obediently allow him to wash her hair.
After all, nothing was more pleasurable than when being gently scratched and stroked behind the fox ears[26] with those fingertips of his that exerted just the right amount of force to massage.
Lily was full of euphoria and moaned dizzily. Another voice then came from behind.
“Hey, I’m done.”
“Ye-Yes. Thank you!”
“That’s nothing. If I only gave Leticia the special treatment (washing) it won’t be fair to you, right?”
Izayoi laughed “Ahaha” as he moved towards the bath [pool].[27]
In the bath [pool], Leticia, who had entered first, smiled wryly at the two. Since she had removed the special ribbon that was made for her, she wasn’t in her usual loli-esque look but was looking like a well-endowed lady.
“Alas, Izayoi-sama, it seems that you can do anything.”
“Don’t say it like I’m only good as a pervert. It’s just that I wanted to see Leticia’s appearance when you let down your hair to enter the bath. After all, Kuro Usagi promised that it is a sight that is [Definitely worth a peek!].”
“Muu……is that so? Fufu, then a penny for your thoughts?”
Leticia rose and sat on the edge of the bath.
Under the light of the stars and moon, her glistening wet golden hair shone with brilliance. Her appearance gave off a completely different feel when compared to that of her appearance under the radiance of the Sun. It was a different style of beauty and it caused Lily who had only come for accompaniment to draw her breath in a trance like state.
“It’s really beautiful…...”
“Hoho, although it is known that women tend to have a whole new allure when their hair is wet, but for you, Leticia, it seems to be a dramatic change.”
“Fu fu. Thank you for the compliment, goshujinsama.”
“However, according to the lineage of vampires, they should naturally have an aversion to water. Besides, Leticia, you’re a member of the “Draculair Demon Lord” right? Speaking of Dracula the old man, are you the actual one?”
Leticia gave an expression of surprise.
She probably did not anticipate that the discussion would wind up at herself.
---The Count Dracula that Izayoi referred to was about Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia in the 1400s. It’s said that he had ordered the many farmers and nobles to be impaled as a punishment and many strange and weird rumors surrounded the noble until it eventually becomes that of the vampire.
While Izayoi was puzzled, Leticia was pouting unhappily.
“No, goshujinsama….that…Although I’m not too sure about the details…but the Count Dracula whom you refer to is a male right? Do I really look like a guy to you?”
“Yes, very much alike. So you better remove the towel for a thorough examination!”
“…………if goshujinsama says so…”
“No…Don’t! Don’t! Stop removing the towel!”
Lily, whose face was beet red stopped Leticia.
Leticia then gave a nonchalant expression as if she had already known this would happen while continuing back to the topic.
“Anyways, how should I put it…….Though it isn’t completely unrelated, but according to the ‘system’[28], he and I are of a different lineage.”
“Is that so?”
“Nn, the reason why I’m called a Draculair is because of the roots in the language. Draculea also has the same meaning as [Child of the Dragon][29] right? I’m a dragon born and we vampires have pure draconic blood flowing in our veins.”
“............Heh?”
Izayoi’s eyes had a sharp glint to it due to his curiosity. It was most probably due to hearing the word “dragon”.
“Pureblood of a dragon type huh….…not bad, I’ve always been interested in the topic of the purebloods of the dragons. For it’s much different from gods and Celestial beings, a completely mysterious race of its own that I can’t quite put a finger on.”
“Really?”
“Really. According to the information that I’ve heard, dragons seem to be a [Eudemon[30] that doesn’t exist on the Phylogenetic Tree], but that in itself is fundamentally a contradiction. Weren’t Eudemons a species that were born when their spirit level were heightened to the point where the Phylogenetic Tree registers a sudden change in something like an ‘explosive’ evolution? If it didn’t evolve from the Phylogenetic tree, won’t it be a case of [Life. Existing. From. Nothingness]?”
“You understand?”
Leticia tilted her head seeming to tell with her body gesture the words “Of course right, do you still need to ask that?”
Izayoi was speechless for a moment.
“--------------------Oh? Could I ask of you to explain it to me in a different way?”
“As you’ve said……pure blood dragons just [happened] and were not from being [born]. One day, without explanation or precursors to warn, a huge build-up of energy eventually formed them---that is the pureblood of the dragons. In later generations, the dragons of monomer birth are what would be classified as pure dragons and offspring of those that breed with other species are classified as inferior dragons.”
“If it is reproduced via monomer birth, shouldn’t the size be small?”
“No it isn’t. A pure dragon has an unimaginable huge size. Especially the dragon that created the Vampire race, it is so big that it is recorded as [The dragon that carried the world] in legends.”
(Ha?) Izayoi was speechless.
---[The dragon that carried the world], it’s a myth created to explain how Earth came about. There were also similar variations around the world. Sometimes it is considered as the supreme god in various mythologies and religious cosmology. In ancient Egypt, there is the legend that “Earth was a god that was covered by plants while the body of the sky goddess arched over him to hold up the atmospheric layer.”[31]
Just like that, there were many religions that believed the view of cosmos that [The world=God]. However, according to Leticia’s words, it would mean that those creatures mentioned in the creationism theories do exist in reality.
(No…Since I’m still unable to determine the level of the Vampire Race’s civilization before their arrival in Little Garden, I won’t be able to confirm the existence of dragons. After all these types of creationism theories were all proposed before the era of actual advancement in civilization and cultures… But…)
If a mythological dragon like that existed……
I would want to see one for myself no matter what. Thinking about it Izayoi couldn’t help but feel his blood boil in excitement.
“…Are there no recordings of such a creature?”
“There doesn’t seem to be any detailed documentation of it. We vampires are created from the dragon, a race to prevent the phylogenetic tree from falling into disorder and chaos. Or so it was said by our older generations. By sucking blood, we are able to evolve to adapt to different species, hence, we are called the guardians of the phylogenetic tree. That’s all I know.” Leticia said.
Oh~……Izayoi sighed in plaint and surprise when he heard that.
Thinking about it carefully, this was not an impossible matter. Since a world as crazy as Little Garden existed, it shouldn’t be surprising if there were other extraordinarily unbelievable things that were around as well.
Although he still has a mountain of questions…Izayoi decided to find the answers to those by himself.
“……Hmm? So as to say, ghosts are closer to Eudemons?”
“Not exactly. Ghosts are mostly of a separate entity unrelated to the others, varying to the body type for there are those that are purely ethereal in form and those that are of the beast types in the Phylogenetic Tree. As for us vampires, we are about half of each type.”
“Is that so.” Izayoi responded.
“Are there any more questions? If not, I do believe that it is my time to ask.”
“Eh?”
“Izayoi-kun, how was your life in your world?”
This time, Izayoi was the one with the surprised expression.
Leticia was slowly edging over to Izayoi while revealing a rare, gentle smile to plead him to tell.
“I was curious when you mentioned it before. Although I am interested in Yō and Asuka’s lives as well, I am a little more interested in Izayoi-kun’s. Not only having a powerful gift as well as being knowledgeable in the affairs of Little Garden. Were you researching into this realm of knowledge in your previous world?”
“Nope. I just studied them out of curiosity. In fact, there isn’t anything particular that I had wanted to do.”
“Really? You did some self-study for no reason?”
“Eh…Ah…Not really…”
Actually, it wasn’t alone…… thinking about it caused Izayoi to have a bitter smile.
Leticia probably noticed the subtle and minute changes in the facial expressions and decided to press further:
“You’re not studying all of these alone right? There should be study mates right?”
“How can that be possible? If I had a friend like that, I wouldn’t be coming to Little Garden to kill time right? Hahahahaha!”
Izayoi laughed as he got up from the bath. Although it wasn’t as if he hated people being inquisitive or getting investigated, but because he simply did not enjoy being asked in that way.
Sensing the other two following behind him, Izayoi went on to his basket to retrieve his clothes.
In the next moment, Izayoi would find that his headphones had disappeared.
