Chapter 1 (2/2)

Vandalieu, like any other six-week-old infant, was defeated by his sleepiness

『You have acquired the Death-Attribute Magic skill! 』

This announcement echoed inside Vandalieu’s head

Three months after his birth, around the tiht of his own head with his neck, Vandalieu was finally successful in learning death-attribute ic

『I’ve spent about two uess this is the result of my hard work』

With that said, the only spells he could use was『Sterilization』, a spell that exter Killer』, a version of the sa to insects The other spell he could use was『Magic Absorption Barrier』, a spell that created a barrier that absorbed Mana that it ca that had no immediately no visible effects

He wanted to show Darcia, his ic, but that proved difficult It would be simple to show her that he could『absorb』her spells, but she never used her spiritual ht

She probably used spiritual , but

『With this body that’s only just becoood look around the room』

As Vandalieu exhales to sit up on his bed, his 「He’s kind of like an old man」, but pays him no further attention

『But I’ me outside I was about to die of boredom』

Perhaps it was because he was now threehim outside in her arms on sunny days

The reason for this was that she had decided that it would be a good stietting dangerously low, so she was going outside to gather more

But Vandalieu reely cautious the first time she had taken him outside

She had opened the door to the cave to allow just a little sunlight through and let it shi+ne lightly on Vandalieu’s fingertip

「What a relief! You didn’t inherit the Vampires’ weakness!」(Darcia)

As Vandalieu watched Darcia cry out in joy, he was reminded that his father was a Vampire It would have been really troublesome if, as a Dhampir, he had even inherited his father’s inability to tolerate sunlight

「Well then, let’s go outside with Mommy from now on, okay?」(Darcia)

As Darcia said that and took Vandalieu outside, the sight of the world beyond the cave moved Vandalieu to the point that he was at a loss for words (not that he could speak words in the first place)

『Oh The world Nature It’s so huge!』

The outside of the cave was a forest The air was fresh

The sun was bright, the sky was a transparent blue, the clouds were pure white and the thickly growing trees were bright green

It was the scenery of a forest with no particular features, but Vandalieu had spent twenty years i finished off by A seemed to shi+ne beautifully

「Fufu, it see outside」(Darcia)

His face was expressionless as usual, but Darcia understood fros as if he was in a gaze that he was very happy She began walking around and gathering food

Of course, she didn’t do dangerous things like hunting anirasses, fruits and mushrooms and laid some traps to catch animals later

Most of the food she gathered went into her own mouth, while a little was set aside to be made into baby food for Vandalieu

『I have s about this』

Once a day, his young, beautiful Dark Elf mother said「say ah~」and fed him a spoonful of food And with that, the a him decreased

In order to survive froerous for a Dha was necessary for Vandalieu But even so, groas a difficult task for him

Incidentally, he enjoyed the taste of his mother’s milk more than the baby food

『The Death-Attribute Magic skill has been upgraded to level 2! The following new skills have been added: Status Effect Resistance, Magic Resistance, Night Vision, Bloodsucking!』

Once Vandalieu reached fivehiather food from the forest

「In a little while, we’ll be going to where Mommy was born I have to et lonely, bear with it, okay?」(Darcia)

Saying that, she left to hunt ani adventurer to buy supplies There were times she didn’t coet the supplies they needed to survive, so there was no helping it

Leaving an infant alone at home for half a day would have been questionable on Earth, but Vandalieu hi done for his own protection

With no help fro an infant by herself A troublesome half-Vampire child, no less

Judging from the fact that Vandalieu had not seen his father even once, it see from the Vampire community either Vampires looked down on half-Vampires just as much as huets of persecution by Vampires as well Even in japan, where people had a sense of values as hun blood were discriainst It was no surprise that half-bloods of different races in Lambda experienced the same

『At this rate, it doesn’t seem like I’ll be able to see my father’s face』

The reason being that he was probably no longer alive

Thinking logically without taking emotions into account, it would be a much better choice for Darcia to abandon Vandalieu Then she would be able to live a much more peaceful life

That would make her life more carefree, free of responsibility Once sos died down, she would be able to live on as if nothing had happened If she wanted a child, she could easily go to another country or back to the Dark Elf village and find a new man to create one with

Despite this, the likely reason why Darcia had not abandoned Vandalieu was because she loved his father and Vandalieu himself

『This is a bit of a cliché, but being loved is a truly happy thing』

With this happiness driving him on, Vandalieu continued his hard work

He spent his ti his body by exercising his ar his voice The result of this was that his Death-Attribute Magic skill had increased and he was able to cast with visible effects that Darcia could see

「Wow, to think that you can use enius, aren’t you~♪」

How happy it made him for someone to be proud of his increase in skill, for someone to praise him

Though his ability to use other skills see up

His Status Effect Resistance was a skill that granted hiue due to lack of sleep, hunger and other various detrihhe had inherited from his Vampire father

His Magic Resistance, a skill that ical attacks, was a racial characteristic of Dark Elves His mother, Darcia, also had this skill

The Night Vision was a characteristic that both of his parents possessed, which allowed hihts as if it were daytime

And finally, Bloodsucking was self-explanatory His canine teeth had grown unusually quickly compared to his other teeth It was a skill that he had acquired when fangs had grown on both the top and bottom side of his mouth

「They’ve appeared, after all Though it ht be better for you not to, Vandalieu」(Darcia)

As Darcia said this upon noticing that her son had grown fangs, she cut the head of the rabbit she had caught with a knife And then she caught the dripping blood on a wooden plate

「Here, try drinking this」(Darcia)

『Mother, are you insane?』

In response to the iron-like sht close to his mouth, Vandalieu looked up at Darcia with half-closed eyes

On Earth, blood is soredient in sauces and eel or turtle blood is someti an infant the raw blood of an animal be considered child abuse? I think that would be the case, but she doesn’t seee her mind

『Well, I guess I’ll try it』

It would surely be disgusting As he thought this, Vandalieu extended his tongue and drank a little of the rabbit’s blood Surprisingly, he didn’t think it tasted bad

『Huh? I can drink this It tastes like iron, but it’s not as bad as I thought In fact, it’s delicious?』

It hadn’t been distilled into wine or had spices added to it to mask the smell, but for Vandalieu, the rabbit’s blood was as easy to drink as his mother’s milk

He was astonished, but Darcia explained as she stroked his growing hair

「Vandalieu, you can drink blood like your daddy But it doesn’t ry, only drink it if Mommy isn’t around, okay?」(Darcia)

I see, so I’m a half-Vampire after all That explains why Dhampirs are shunned

Well, for now, I’ll just think of it as an increase in the variety of my baby food

As Vandalieu approached six ained the ability to crawl That day, Darcia had left Vandalieu at ho journey to a nearby town

『I’ence for an infant to be a good thing』

Including the fact that he could use ic, Darcia’s only response to Vandalieu’s abnor!」and she had not questioned it or expressed any bewilderment about it

「Dha, after all」(Darcia)

Because she often said that, it was likely that she thought that all of Vandalieu’s unusual characteristics are due to the fact that he was a Dhaated it any further

After all, even if he wanted to explain it, he couldn’t speak yet as he was only sixhis voice, but he was frustrated that he couldn’t form proper words yet

If that wasn’t the case, he would want to explain his situation

『I’d explain everything about Rodcorte, my previous life and Amemiya Hiroto』

In light novels or a that Vandalieu had read on Earth, it was common for characters that had been reincarnated in another world to keep that fact a secret But he thought he should break that common pattern That he should at least tell Darcia, as soon as possible

Because she was his own mother

『If this was a normal reincarnation or trip to another world, I’d consider keeping it a secret too But my situation is different Because soon, a hundred people from the same world as me will be reincarnated here with cheat-like powers』

Amemiya Hiroto and the others, the ones who had abandoned hiin, the ones who had killed hiin, they would surely be reincarnated here in Lambda

Vandalieu didn’t knohen that would happen When Vandalieu had died in Origin, they looked to be around twenty years old So unless they were involved in an accident or so, it would take at least fifty years But it wasn’t certain that tiin and Lambda

It could even be that for each day that passed in Lain

Well, it probably wasn’t that extreme, but they would definitely be reincarnated in Lambda one day Even Rodcorte hi

『The problem is what Rodcorte will say to them before they’re reincarnated I screamed to him that I’d kill them So if they were to be reincarnated here before I died, he’d at least warn them about me』

After all, Rodcorte’s goal was to have them develop this world It would be problematic if they died before that happened, so he would definitely warn them about Vandalieu

In that case, they would see Vandalieu as a threat and be cautious of him

In their first lives, they were japanese people raised in the peaceful country of japan, so it would be fine if they wanted to talk about things or apologize for what happened in Origin

But Vandalieu couldn’t say for sure that there wouldn’t be any of the him, to simply eliinably wretched life, theylike that as well

Even if they were heroes there, if they had to deal with evil terrorists or crianizations for extended periods of time, who knehat kind of state they would be in

Yes, heroes These were unlucky

『I heard them just before I died, but if I’m not mistaken, they were notified that an Undead had appeared and co their cheat-like powers to use and being international heroes or so Like the ones in American superhero comics』

And Vandalieu himself was a half-Vampire, a Dhampir

If they displayed the pacifishts that they did as japanese people, there wouldn’t be a problem But if they were affected by the anti-Vaerous

Facing a hundred people with cheat-like powers as enemies wouldn’t be an easy task

The one getting caught up in all of this would be Darcia It would be too dangerous and unreasonable to expect her to face that without knowing anything This hy Vandalieu thought that he had to explain the situation to her as soon as possible

『If Mother separates herself fro I can do about that』

It was only for half a year, but Darcia was the first mother that Vandalieu had known He had never been loved as much as she had loved him

『Well, if possible, I don’t want to be separate from her』

For that purpose, ive them or reconcile at this point, but I’d be content if they just kept their distance from me

This was the extent to which Vandalieu was attached to Darcia It was also partially because his thoughts had becoht that he could give up on his revenge for the sake of his mother

After I grow up a littleto Darcia And then if I can use the knowledge and death-attribute in to live a fulfilled life, I’ll be happy with that

And if I can just watch those guys with cheat-like abilities put all their effort into this world, then that’ll be fine

Vandalieu thought this as he continued crawling across the floor to continue his physical training, but he felt suddenly hungry

『I guess I’ll just drink some blood』

He lifted the rabbit that Darcia had captured alive froh he was only six th skill, so it was siht

He used『Sterilization』and『Bug Killer』on the struggling rabbit to sanitize it and then bit into it

『Blood is delicious, but Mother’s milk is still better』

Sating his hunger byrabbit, Vandalieu longed for his mother’s breast

That day, the time that Darcia was supposed to come back passed, but she did not return
