Chapter 1882: Vampire
Some readers might wrongly guess what Haru and Mimori were doing, after all, they had only met each other for an hour or so, and even though it was possible for him to push her to the bed directly, he was a gentleman, and even though her status as a widow might turn him on, he also had a bottom line, and he wasn't as degenerate as people thought. He was only using his massage technique, which he got from Cookie (Biscuit Krueger's Nen technique) on Mimori's body, but if both of them agreed, then it might be possible to do it.
Even though Mimori might be a psychic, her body was a normal human, and she often worked for several days without sleeping for her research. There was a lot of fatigue on her body, but with just one session of massage from Haru, all of those fantigues disappeared, and she could feel that her body had become several times healthier than before. Even though she felt a bit hesitant to let her body be touched by a young man that she had only met for an hour or so, she didn't regret it and felt very comfortable.
Mimori thought about the body of her daughter and thought that it might be good to let her daughter be massaged by him. "Say, Haru, where did you learn your massage technique?"
"Was it good?" Haru asked.
"It was amazing," Mimori said without hesitation.
"Well, even if you want to learn, it might be impossible, though, since you can use something like Chi, Qi, or Inner Energy," Haru said.
"Oh, you're a martial artist?" Mimori asked curiously since she knew that only a martial artist could use Chi, Qi, or Inner Energy.
"I dabble in a lot of things. You can say that I'm a jack of all trades," Haru said.
"You have learned martial arts, but you don't know anything about demons?" Mimori asked while raising her eyebrow.
Haru looked at Mimori for a while and asked, "Say, what age do you think I am?"
"Um... 16 to 18 years, perhaps?" Mimori asked.
"Well, I'm 16," Haru said.
"Oh, you are the same age as my kid," Mimori said in surprise and felt conflicted when she thought that she almost fell at the palm of the young man who was twice younger than her own age, but then she thought about his age, then it was quite normal when she thought about why Haru didn't know anything about a demon, considering how someone could use such an amazing massage technique, then she thought that he must be spending all of his time by training a lot of things. She felt that the reason why he suddenly appeared right in front of the street before was that he might have been sent by his teacher or something, but well, she didn't think too much and she could tell that he was a good boy, so she didn't mind letting him stay at her house.
"But I might be more mature than your kid, right?" Haru said with a smile.
"That's true." Mimori smiled and said, "My kid won't seduce an older woman." She knew that he might be a good kid, but this kid might have a unique preference over an older woman.
"It's because you're too cute, Mimori," Haru said with a smile.
"...."
Mimori blushed then coughed several times. "So, what do you want to ask about a demon?"
"Well, how about the origin first?" Haru asked.
"Hmm... the origin of demon and supernatural-related matters is because of Cain," Mimori said.
"Cain?" Haru raised his eyebrow and asked, "You mean the son of Adam and Eve?"
"That's right." Mimori nodded and explained. "Cain. The first murderer in mankind's history. After he killed his brother, the god cursed him with immortality. The earth kept rejecting his return (to die), and the blood and tears he shed gave birth to numerous demons. Detesting the earth, he also gave birth to conflict and culture. From there, humans began to learn magic and education. As time passed, people started defying the logic of earth and created a man-made city." She smiled and asked, "So what do you think?"
"Well, so does Cain still exist in this world?" Haru asked. He felt that this world was quite interesting by using Cain as the background of how supernatural-related matter was born in this world.
"I'm not sure, but Cain might have already disappeared from this world, or rather he might have been rejected by this world, being thrown into a different world or space," Mimori said.
"I see..." Haru nodded and asked, "What about a demon?" He felt that the matter of the demon was the most important matter now. As for Cain, it didn't really matter since this person had disappeared.
"Well, the demon is something that you often see in the story like a werewolf, succubus, vampire, etc." Mimori squinted her eyes and said, "If I haven't confirmed that you're a human, then I might think that you're an incubus."
"...Isn't that a bit too rude?" Haru was lost for words, but he felt this woman was quite rude since he knew that he was several times better than Incubus.
"Well, you're more gentleman than them," Mimori said with a smile.
"....."
"So, can we talk more about this demon?" Haru asked.
"Sure." Mimori nodded and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
"Then who is the strongest?" Haru asked.
"The strongest?" Mimori looked at Haru for a while and asked, "Why did you ask?"
"Just ask, if you don't want to answer, then I can search for it myself," Haru said simply.
"I don't mind answering you, but do you want to fight them?" Mimori asked with interest. After all, she often heard that martial artists loved to prove that they were the strongest, so she thought that Haru was that type of martial artist.
"Why should I? I don't like trouble." Haru shook his head without hesitation.
"Well, if I have to say who is the strongest demon in this world, then it should be a vampire," Mimori said.
"Vampire?" Haru raised his eyebrow.
"Oh, you doubt their power?" Mimori asked with a smile.
"The one who is afraid of garlic, sun, cross, etc., right?" Haru asked.
"That's more or less their weakness, but vampires have some specialties," Mimori said.
"What kind?" Haru asked.
"Well, there are numerous demon races that match vampires with brute strength, agility, and innate special powers, but the existence of Beast Vassals made vampires even more fearsome, making them the Lords of Demonkind," Mimori explained.
"Beast Vassal?"
"Beast Vassals or familiars are beasts in the form of sentient, ultradense magical energy brought from another world via blood flowing through a vampire's veins. Their abilities and forms vary according to the host. As Beast Vassals consume the life force of their host when they materialize, only vampires, who have an infinite "negative" life force, can employ them." Mimori explained and said, "While Beast Vassals have varying strengths, even the weakest among them surpassed the power of an attack helicopter or a state-of-the-art main battle tank. It was said that the Beast Vassals employed by Elder vampires were capable of blowing away entire villages. Once released, there was no way to stop a Beast Vassal except by smashing it with an even more powerful magical force."
"That seems very scary," Haru said calmly.
"You don't seem scared, though," Mimori said while pouting. "Anyway, most vampires typically have a human appearance. Upon being aroused or enraged, their eyes turn red, and their fangs lengthen." She then raised both of her hands as if trying to scare Haru before she moved forward and chomped on his neck. "I'm a vampire!"
"...."
Haru was lost for words when a widow with two children would do something like this to him.
Mimori blushed and couldn't help but lick his neck for some reason. 'Somehow, I understand why a vampire wants to bite someone else's neck.'
"Cough! Cough! Can you explain to me more about this vampire?" Haru tried to change his position and said, "And can you let go of my neck?"
"Oh! Oh!" Mimori was stunned when she saw a huge tent that formed on his pants. She quickly looked away embarrassedly, but she didn't expect her body to be able to excite a young man.
For some reason, they were in an awkward situation, but Haru quickly asked, "Does vampire have a rank?"
"Of course!" Mimori also used this chance to fix the awkward situation between them and raised her three fingers. "There are three types of vampires: D-Type: Vampires under the watch of Lost Warlord are classified as D-Types. They are classic vampires as described by the public. Their most notable ability is to turn into mist and be able to use beast-like familiars. G-Type: Vampires under the watch of Fall Gazer are classified as G-Types. Their abilities and traits are currently unknown. Lastly, T-Types: Vampires under the watch of Chaos Bride are classified as T-Types. They are able to use intelligent familiars utilized as weapons."
Haru frowned and asked, "What is this Lost Warlord, Fall Gazer, and Chaos Bride?"
"Oh, they're the oldest and first vampires who received the curse of immortality from now-dead gods. They are also considered the strongest vampires to exist, with powers that rival the strength of national armies," Mimori said in a dramatic tone.
"So, do they have a name or title or something?" Haru asked.
"Of course!" Mimori nodded and said, "They're often called Primogenitor."
'Primogenitor...'
The moment those words fell, Haru knew that he had hit the jackpot.
