160 Vampire Princess

Who the hell is this?

Important thing—repeat it once more.

Who the hell is this?

Eh, eh?

Too many things to call out. Don’t know where to start.

Alright, let’s go one by one.

First—what’s with that name?

Why the duplication?

Well, Sophia’s the name in this world, and Negishi Akiko was her previous life’s name, I guess.

Negishi Akiko… Did such a person exist?

Kind of, not really.

She must’ve existed.

Even if I don’t remember.

I don’t recall half my classmates’ names or faces.

Wait—does “previous life” identification show the prior name?

Hmm?

Then what is “no name” for me?

Maybe overthinking is the loss?

Anyway, I get that this infant was a classmate from a prior life.

She has the “n% I = W” skill too. That’s certain.

But what’s with the vampire thing?

Moreover, her race is listed as both human and vampire.

What in the world is going on?

First, analyze her race as vampire.

『Vampire: A nocturnal dominator who survives by consuming others' blood. A race with high capabilities, yet numerous weaknesses. Most are originally from other races, inheriting traits from their original form. Purebloods born as vampires are known as Ancestors.』

Ah.

Basically the same as Earth’s vampires, I suppose?

Given that D is overseeing this system, it’s probably identical.

Then, what about the vampire skill?

『Vampire: A special skill possessed by vampires. Ability scores increase upon consuming blood. Effects vary by level. LV1: Depletion』

『Depletion: Weakens without blood consumption』

A negative effect right from the start.

Undead Body is inconvenient, huh, you know.

Hm?

But this one isn't weakened?

Consuming blood, then?

No way.

Breast milk is made from blood, right? So it's replacing blood somehow?

What about the title?

『Vampire: Acquired Skills "HP Auto-Recovery LV1", "Dark Vision LV1": Requirement: Acquire "Vampire" skill: Effect: Adds Vampire race: Description: Title granted to those who have become Vampire』

『Primordial: Acquired Skills "Undead Body LV1", "Sensory Enhancement LV1": Requirement: Born as Vampire: Effect: Nullifies Vampire's negative effects: Description: Title granted to the progenitor of Vampires』

Ah, Primordial's overpowered.

Eliminating all Vampire weaknesses? That's cheating. Cheating.

No wonder they remain unfazed under the blazing sunlight.

The mystery of the previous blood withering is now resolved.

And now, to top it off, a rare skill called Undead Body has been added.

Undead Body: Resistance to all elements except fire, light, and corrosion increases. Additionally, once per day, the user survives any attack with 1 HP remaining.

An absurdly high resistance, with a survival mechanism added.

Cheating. Cheating.

Who is this person?

And where did that enormous amount of skill points come from?

Is that even possible?

They've completely surpassed the points I've painstakingly accumulated over time.

What is going on?

Cheating. Cheating.

Who is this person?

More likely than not, this child being born as a Vampire was clearly the work of that D-class idiot.

They said they randomly assigned skills as a reincarnation bonus.

This child received the Vampire skill as part of that bonus.

Why the hell did they give that idiot such a mine-like skill?

Are they stupid?

Probably are.

Staring back at me, the Vampire Child also fixed me with a steady gaze.

A spider staring at a baby.

The Guards watching in silence, holding their breath.

The Lady speaking as if trying to convey something to me.

Ah, ma'am, I don't understand your words—useless.

Quite surreal, really.

Or rather, judging by the situation, this Lady is likely the Vampire Child’s mother?

Identification.

Huh?

I stepped back the moment I identified it?

Well, whatever.

Ah, her name is Seras Kelen.

Yeah.

Same surname. Definitely the mother of the Vampire Child.

But this woman is clearly human.

Slightly above average stats, but low level, no combat skills—just an ordinary person.

Still, she has a guard, wears fine clothing, and rides in an ornate carriage—clearly a noble.

A vampire born into a noble family.

Ugh.

Smells like trouble.

Fortunately, this child doesn’t seem to know she’s a vampire yet. But it’ll come out eventually.

What happens then.

Troublesome.

Don’t want to get involved.

Former classmate’s goodwill?

That doesn’t exist.

How could I care for a stranger I don’t remember, neither by face nor name?

So I’m leaving.

I saw nothing.

Ah—just in case, I’ll mark her.

Then, farewell.

The lady was shouting something, but I don’t care.

If you want to stop me, master Japanese first.

Then I might consider it.

Just considering, though.

Accidentally encountered a reincarnated one, but this is troublesome.

Reincarnated individuals are generally best ignored.

No friends. Not even a sense of camaraderie.

In fact, if someone develops an unnatural sense of companionship over me, it would only be a burden.

Yes.

Ignore reincarnated individuals.

That’s what I’ll do from now on.
