“Whatever. I don’t even know where you came from or what this world you talk about is like. I just want to live my own life in peace.”
Ruo Xiaoxi complained, her cheeks burning. Chris was the one person she just couldn’t handle.
“Have things been rough for you lately, Xiaoxi?” Chris asked, resting her chin on Xiaoxi’s shoulder and tilting her head.
At the question, a few dark lines appeared on Ruo Xiaoxi’s forehead.
And she had the nerve to ask! She’d given her the vampire’s first bite, enjoyed a taste of her sweet blood, then abandoned her to fend for herself. Making her own way was fine—but she’d turned her into a Vampiress!
It was miserable never being able to eat your fill. Only drinking blood could satisfy her hunger.
“Things have been… not that bad. I can just about keep myself from going hungry…” Ruo Xiaoxi ground out every word. She’d earned all of it herself, through hard work—and by cashing in on her cuteness.
“Heehee, little sister, I actually brought you a present too. Look!” Chris somehow produced a bag of blood and placed it in Ruo Xiaoxi’s arms.
“Ah.” Ruo Xiaoxi stared down at it in surprise, then hurriedly held it with both hands.
“I was worried you’d go hungry, so I brought you a bag of blood.”
“Huh? Wait. Didn’t you say those blood bags they sell at the hospital were useless? I tried one once. It was bitter and stale, and afterward my throat felt even drier—like it was about to start smoking.”
“That’s right. We’re pureblood nobles. We can only drink blood drawn straight from a person. That inferior stored blood can actually harm us.”
“Then this one…”
“It’s my blood.” Chris smiled, her eyes curving. If they couldn’t drink stored human blood, there was another option: blood from someone of the same lineage.
“That’s so much… This has to be five hundred milliliters.” Ruo Xiaoxi gasped. If she didn’t try to drink her fill, a bag this size could last her ten days.
Chris actually gave me her own blood!? Is it because she’s worried I’ll starve to death?
Wait. Don’t get all emotional. This is what an older sister is supposed to do! She turned me into a Vampiress without even asking, so of course she has to look after me.
It’s only natural for a big sister to take care of her little sister!
“Th-then I’ll accept it, since you insist.” Ruo Xiaoxi still had a touch of tsundere in her.
Chris put an arm around her and leaned close to Ruo Xiaoxi’s face, whispering:
“Also, I came to tell you that I’ve taken care of the new ID and school enrollment you asked me about. From now on, do your best to live as an adorable little Vampiress.”
“Really? Th-thank you! Did you use magic? That’s amazing…”
“But I do have to punish my little sister. You knew I was coming to see you today, and you still went sneaking off to snack with another girl. That was very naughty of you—Big Sis had to give you a proper scolding today, didn’t she~?”
“Eek!” Ruo Xiaoxi blushed and shivered, but stubbornly insisted, “Th-that has nothing to do with you, Sis!”
“I-it has nothing to do with me…? Looks like I’ll have to teach that cheeky little mouth of yours some manners. Raising a polite, adorable little sister is an important part of being a big sister.”
Chris found herself feeling a little jealous. She grabbed Ruo Xiaoxi’s wrist and drew her hand over, guiding her fingers to a little knot at her waist. Then, holding her hand, she gave it a gentle tug.
“Wah! What did you make me do? That came off!”
“I want to drink Xiaoxi’s blood, so I need to get it into the most delicious state first. Let’s have some fun and grow closer as sisters!” Chris stood on the bed with her hands on her hips, speaking with righteous conviction.
“So you said you came to see me, but really you just wanted to drink my blood! No way. I’m not letting you have any!”
“You have to be good and listen~ Good girls listen to their big sisters.”
“T-tie that knot back up before you talk to me!” Ruo Xiaoxi pressed her back against the swivel chair, but Chris grabbed both her little feet in white stockings and dragged her—and the chair—over in one pull.
“Come on, come on.”
Chris spun the chair around, then sat on Ruo Xiaoxi’s lap with her legs folded beneath her. Their fingers interlaced, and Chris couldn’t suppress her delighted smile. Her deep-red eyes glinted, and sharp silver fangs gradually appeared.
Like a panicked little white rabbit, Ruo Xiaoxi was pinned right there on the chair.
“Let go! I’m not letting you drink my blood! If you do, I’ll bite you and see how you like it!” Ruo Xiaoxi kicked wildly with her little feet in white stockings. She’d never actually drunk Chris’s blood before.
Chris shook her head slowly and murmured softly in her ear, “You can’t go picking on your big sister.”
She shivered, then spread a pair of black wings behind her and said to Ruo Xiaoxi:
“Show me your little wings.”
“N-no! I’m not showing you.” Ruo Xiaoxi twisted away, refusing to open her wings.
“Don’t be shy. It’ll help you feel closer to your own kind. Let me see if your tiny, adorable wings have finished growing. I’ll give you a checkup, just between sisters~”
Even if Ruo Xiaoxi refused to show her wings, Chris had plenty of ways to get her to open them.
The big sister’s wings carefully wrapped around the little sister’s. Like a pair of warm hands, they sheltered Ruo Xiaoxi—as if Chris wanted to gobble the adorable little thing right up.
“Ehehe, Xiaoxi likes letting someone else take the lead, huh? I can tell from your face.”
“You’re such an easy girl to read♪~” “Eeeek—!”
The two beautiful Vampiress sisters clung to each other on the chair as its wheels rattled across the floor. It skidded wildly out of control, bumping into things and spinning all around the room~
