The Reincarnated Vampire Wants an Afternoon Nap

Chapter 140

I just want to make one thing clear, that Estelion is in no way related to the current TL, which Loli o Mamoritai/Secret Imouto.

The Vampire Enjoys Lazing Around

"Arge, how long are you gonna stay in bed for!!"

"Ah!?"

First thing in the morning, my hammock was turned over and I was thrown onto the ground.

The floor, comprised of plants, was cool and pleasant, and it had a different charm to the hammock. It was fine to fall asleep just like that for the second time, but I was forcibly pulled up before I was able to fall back sleep.

"Uh...? Good morning, Fellnote."

"You mean good evening. It’s already way past noon."

"Ah...It’s still morning for me, so it’s okay."

"It’s far from okay according to the society’s standard!"

She was absolutely right but since I had no intention to conform to the society, I couldn’t care less.

A few days had passed since we arrived in the Dark Elves’ territory.

Richelle told me I could stay here as long as I liked, so I took up her offer and let her spoil me.

Anyhow, the place was very comfortable. It was well maintained with a low humidity. This made it very pleasant, contrasting the jungle around them.

Furthermore, the bedding provided were hammocks. The smooth swaying they provided felt very pleasant, yet dangerous since it felt like I could stay sleeping forever.

A lot of the food were sourced directly from the nature around me and, on top of them being delicious, I didn’t have to do anything to keep them coming.

Three meals a day with an afternoon nap, and they even served me snacks whenever I asked for them. It was truly defined comfort. This might have actually been the sanctuary I was searching for this whole time.

I was aware that the demon continent was a dangerous place, but neither incidents nor attacks have occurred as of yet. At times, messenger-like people came to visit from Mutsuki’s country. But, Richelle was the Lord of the territory so it was her job to deal with them. In the end, I paid them no attention and continued to laze around all day everyday.

It seemed that Zeno-kun was profiting from not only Mutsuki’s, but also the Dark Elves’ region, leaving him busy with work everyday.

"Good grief! Every single day. Pull yourself together, will you? How much will you continue to laze around?"

"I want to sleep 30 hours a day, so I strive to be as lazy as possible."

"Don’t say something so ridiculous while looking so serious!"

I remembered having a similar conversation back when we were living together with Alresha.

As I reminisced about the past, I put on my cloak. At the same time, Fellnote started combing my hair with a wooden comb with an exasperated look.

While feeling the soft boobs touching my back, I gave her my gratitude.

"Thank you, Fellnote."

"Don’t mind it, I’ve already gotten used to it...But Arge, I’m sure you understand but we can’t possibly stay here forever."

"Fair enough."

"At least it doesn’t seem any problems have occurred but there was that incident where the Lord of this place, Rishelle, was kidnapped. There’s bound to be wars, happening on a regular basis. Didn’t you say that you can’t achieve your dream in a place like this?"

"Fair enough..."

"This place is certainly comfortable, but I’m sure that Richelle will someday find it annoying if you continue to stay here while lazing around all the time."

"You might be right..."

"Arge, are you listening to me?"

"Fair enough..."

"Shall I take care of you from now on?"

"Eh! Is that fine!? Please do!!"

"Don’t only listen when it’s convenient for you!!"

Fellnote hit my head hard, to the point where you could actually hear the sound effect. It hurt quite a bit.

When I rubbed my head with teary eyes, Fellnote sigh deeply and her chest shook. Her heterochromatic eyes gleamed with disappointment.

"Both Zeno and Rishelle are already properly working, and Kuzuha is helping out with hunting. Pull yourself together Arge. Why don’t you think of a way you can be useful?"

"You’re right. I’ll start thinking about it tomorrow."

"Yo-you! I swear!"

It seemed like she was going to get really angry if I said anymore, so I decided to leave the room I was allocated to.

I could hear voices telling me to stop from behind but I’d been lectured enough at that point, so I decided to save it for tomorrow.

Let’s look for a cozy place for an afternoon nap.

It was a small settlement but there were, unexpectedly, tons of good napping spots around. There were a few places which looked like the scenes from The Path of the Wind and seemed very comfortable to sleep on. (TL: The Path of the WindKaze no Toorimichi by Ghibli).

It had only been a few days since I came to this territory, but this was how I’d been spending my days recently. Fellnote getting angry at me, and me running away to take a nap after getting lectured.

I understand that what she was saying was reasonable, but it was more comfortable for me this way so there’s no helping it.

This place was so cozy that it made lose all the will I had to leave. Rather, I ended up realising that, if possible, I wanted to keep being taken care of here.

When I looked up, I could see the sunlight filtering through gaps between the trees. The gentle breeze caressing my skin felt pleasant as it swayed my silver hair. Yeah. It was the ideal weather for a perfect nap today as well.

Having taken Rishelle back home to the territory, I was basically seen as their saviour. People started conversations with me when I walked by. While dealing with that, I responded to them accordingly while looking for a place to nap today.

After walking for a short while I arrived at one of my favourite nap spots, located on a small hill.

"Ah, it’s Lady Arge."

"Rishelle? What are you doing here?"

Sitting on the grass on the top of the hill was a familiar face.

It was Rishelle, the lord who governed this territory.

Her dark brown ears twitched and made she a gesture with her hand. It looked like she was beckoning me closer.

She seemed to be calling me so I obediently drew close, and she gently tapped the grass next to her. If I accepted her offer, we would naturally be sitting next to each other in the nature.

Ah, the breeze feels good.

This was the place that I had been using for my naps for the past few days, indeed a pleasant spot.

The blowing wind was a bit humid but the sweet scent of the fruits growing nearby made it feel extremely pleasant.

This feeling made me close my eyelids, lulling me to sleep .

"Yawn..."

"Lady Arge, you look sleepy."

"You’re right. I generally always feel sleepy. And today I’ve only, let’s see...I’ve only slept for about 15 hours today."

"Isn’t that long enough?"

"It’s different for every person. It’s just like how you eat slightly more than most people."

She nodded her head vigorously. It was good as long as she understood.

As I swayed my head, about to doze off, I was abruptly pulled closer.

"Hmm."

Before I knew it, my head was on her lap.

When I looked above me, I saw a bulge that was not as big as Fellnote’s yet still firm, accompanied with a gentle smile.

The sunlight filtering through the gaps of her pale golden hair felt warm.

"Richelle?"

"If you’re fine with my lap, then please use it. Um...I think it’s better than sleeping on the ground."

"You’re right. Then, please."

Richelle smiled happily while being slightly embarrassed.

I could feel my silver hair being caressed. The gentle touch on my head felt pleasant.

After closing my eyes, drowsiness overtook me and I drifted to sleep.

"It’s okay to sleep, just like this. I’ll wake you up before dinnertime."

"Really...then, I’ll take you up on that...yawn..."

"If you wished for it, Lady Arge...forever..."

I understood that she was whispering something to me, but my thoughts went dark before I could understand what she saw saying.

I dozed off. Drifting into dream, separating from reality.

Slowly, but surely, my consciousness faded away..
