Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 47
EP.47 Beating For You
“…I’ll tell you in advance, if you’re going to do something shameless, that’s after you’ve revived your heart. If you put your hand on the body unhurriedly…”
“What are you talking about? Because I have to do an electric massage on my heart, I mean cut open the chest. It’s much easier for the Tyrkanjaka trainees to untangle it on their own than for me to split the chest with a skewer. Because you are a vampire.”
When I stared at him and questioned him, the vampire belatedly realized what I meant and held his chest in embarrassment.
“Breasts… Ah. I guess…”
These days, it’s hard for people to only imagine children. If you show it, you’ll see it, but then you’ll kill me.
I’m sorry, but my life is twice as precious as anything else.
“…That’s right. He showed his heart, so I should too. Yes…”
Nodding, the vampire traced his breastbone with his index finger. A line of blood appeared in the middle of the black dress, and the white breast part opened to the sides, revealing the fabric inside.
The white wrapping paper wrapped around the body is so clean and smooth that it is hard to take your eyes off it. However, there is a spectacle that would make even the most squeamish of people frown. The inside of the body where blood bubbles boil, the fascia squirms, and the white bones reveal a heavy presence.
“…ruler. Do you see well?”
The naked body is the shame of the person who sees it, or if you go deeper than that, the reluctance passes to the viewer. It seems that it was not a lie that the relationship would be reversed if it went to the extreme. The vampire, who had been reluctant to touch her breasts, showed the inside of her skin, and now I wanted to turn my head.
If you are ashamed to expose your bare chest, why is there no objection to revealing the inside? What irony is this…
Or is it normal? Even I said, ‘Do you want to take off your skin and show me your heart? Take off your clothes and show me your bare body.’ If you choose to do it, you will show your naked body. Because he’s a vampire who can’t die, he even lays on an operating table with his chest cut open.
“Ego. I’m done.”
The vampire lifted up his chest and said. Through the gaps in the cut flesh, you can see the bright red muscles and roaring blood.
It seems that we have lost something human before shame. I was reminded of how inhuman the girl in front of me was.
“I told you not to reveal your heart today.”
“Didn’t your sister do it? I didn’t want it to look like this either.”
“I emphasize again, it shouldn’t be seen by anyone but me. Honestly, I wish you wouldn’t show it to me either. wow gross.”
“It was rubbish! so? Will you?”
“Let’s see. where.”
It’s dark and I can’t see very well. He inserted his index finger into the narrow crack and used magic.
“lux.”
A more intense light flashed from her fingers. I thrust my glowing finger into the vampire’s chest. Through the dark red darkness, the glowing fingers illuminated the inside of the vampire’s body.
The vampire stared at my hand and was lost in thought.
‘More than ever, it’s strange that you’re acting like this, but I’m not ashamed…’ If you’re
embarrassed about this, you have a mental problem. Don’t worry though. Your shyness has been replaced by my nausea. Wow.
“just. Please clean up the blood inside. It doesn’t look good.”
“Ah, that’s right.”
Then, within the reach of the light, red blood was scattered in all directions like a swarm of insects. A patient who slits his chest and cleans the blood to make it look good, should I say it’s exemplary or fearful?
Woo-wook. The blood also disappears, so you can see the shape better… Let’s be patient.
In any case, thanks to the patient’s active and conscious help, I was able to quickly locate the vampire’s heart. Behind the deflated lungs, I could see a heart that was not beating. I reached out there. My heart touched my fingertips.
“Ugh.”
He was a vampire who had all sorts of experiences, but had never even touched his own heart. The vampire reacted greatly to the unfamiliar yet indescribable tactile sensation.
Either that or not. To be honest, I don’t even want to feel anything from the point of view of directly touching the heart. I continued to lightly pour magic power into my heart, weighing the possibilities.
Mmm. this.
After gauging my heart for a long time, I frowned.
I finally shook my head.
“I can’t.”
At my plain declaration, the vampire’s red eyes suddenly widened.
“no? Can’t you?”
“yes.”
“Are you saying there is no possibility?”
“yes. No.”
The vampire despaired.
Of course, that doesn’t mean the heart doesn’t move. Even this great discouragement could not move the heart. That’s why the vampire was able to calmly accept my words even at this point when the secret wish had gone in vain.
I said with a finger to my heart.
“In the first place, the given situations of the Rashi trainees and the Tyrkanjaka trainees are different. Rashi’s trainee was in a state of suspended animation, so his heart stopped. He is an immortal, and the elements that make up his body are different from those of humans, but the principles of his body movement are the same. against him.”
Tok. Lightly pinch the vampire’s heart with two fingers. The vampire flinched in fright, but the heart that touched my fingers did not even flinch.
Originally, it should move even if it does not reach, but the heart that has already lost its role remains only as a symbol.
“Tirkanjaka trainees are moving blood with blood manipulation. Even at this moment when I opened my heart.”
Ordinary people cannot open their hearts. He lifts up his flesh to show the inside, but he can’t grab it so that not a single drop of blood spills out. Even if you wish for a heart that beats arbitrarily, what meaning does it have when all the blood moves according to your will?
You don’t even need to breathe. The progenitor Tirkanjakhani is the one who can draw blood out of the body, scatter it into the air, and then return it back.
“Didn’t you ask for a fire in the brazier earlier? no. As an analogy, a trainee of Tirkanjaka is not a furnace, but a waterwheel. It is human nature to live a burning life by adding firewood and lighting a fire. However, vampires move their bodies by drawing rivers and turning waterwheels with blood manipulation.”
I turned off the light on my finger. The light shining on the heart disappeared and darkness returned to the inside of the vampire’s body. The vampire muttered with a complexion as dark as the inside of her chest.
“That’s impossible.”
“yes. This lightning strike is just a spark. If you draw a spark on a pyre, it will catch fire, but if you try it with running water, it only stings for a moment.”
The clever vampire understood my words and was discouraged. After a few hundred years of searching for hope, he was excited and then crashed, so the drop must be enormous.
However, that feeling also disappears in a flash. Such are the feelings of a vampire. Accepting failure calmly, the vampire shook off his last remaining regrets.
“Then would you do it just once? Even if it is useless, I want to check it.”
“Well, it is said that it grants the wishes of the dead, but it is the wish of those who move even after death.”
“Whoops. That’s what you use when you’re like this.”
The vampire smiled lightly.
I also smiled and raised my mana from my elbow. A military ritual magic that draws out lightning strikes.
“volt.”
A series of short bursts of electricity stimulated my heart. I feel my heart spasm in my fingertips. He flinched and the pressure caused blood to overflow for a moment.
This is more of a mechanical response than cardiac resuscitation. Human muscles tend to flinch when struck by lightning, and in the case of vampires, that was just the heart.
I tried to lift my finger without much inspiration.
It was then. The vampire hurriedly grabbed my hand and pulled me. Before I had time to respond, my hand sank into the vampire’s chest. I could feel the tactile sensation of living flesh.
when i’m about to freak out
“I ran.”
“yes?”
The vampire shouted with a shocked face but with a very bright expression.
“There was a feeling. It’s definitely short-lived, but my heart raced.”
“That’s because the electric shock…”
“Yes. It’s been a while, but I mean it popped out on its own! This… my heart…”
I held onto my hand as if it were hope and did not let go. It looked like he was trying to hold it inside his body, worried that he might run away.
“Is it really really bad? My heart is my heart…”
However, even if the opponent is a vampire, the reality is heartless.
By the time the remnants of magical power disappeared and the excited heart regained its stability and slowly subsided. At the same time, the vampire’s hope also tumbled down. My heart stops slowly through the flowing blood.
As a result, the strength in the hand holding the arm is weakened. As I sneakily withdraw my arm, a weak finger catches on my wrist. I held her hand lightly and said.
“It can’t be helped.”
“…that’s right.”
The vampire tightened his chest and raised himself. With regret, sadness, and chronic resignation hidden inside a piece of skin, she gently pushed the cut skin with her fingers. The wound healed in an instant, and the immaculate skin became clean as if it had never happened.
‘I did it this time. Hope still slips through my grasp. Have my hands grown absurdly large, or is my hope so small and sweet? Even now… I wonder if it doesn’t work.’
But even the heart is not soggy. Even the glitter that disappears after you hold it in your hand is washed away by the cold flowing blood.
The vampire, after tidying up his mind, spoke as if he was trying to comfort me.
“Don’t worry. Are you used to failure? What is unavoidable is unavoidable.”
“yes? me? I just gave up after knowing that I couldn’t help because I was trying to help in good faith. What regrets do I have? I’m not an idiot who thinks service is a duty. It’s a pity that Tyrkanjaka trainees don’t have any thoughts?”
“Still… you speak really well. ironically.”
The vampire with a sad smile climbed out of bed. Pulling up her loose clothes, the well-groomed vampire slowly headed outside.
“Excuse me in the middle of the night. Unlike us, for you, night should be your time to go to sleep.”
“It’s abyss anyway. Because it’s okay. Please let me know if you need anything.”
The ancestor of vampires who reigned for over a thousand years. If I could get that heart beating again, I might have gotten a huge price.
But that’s beyond my ability.
They say I have mind reading and I’m the best gambler in the back alley. If you don’t have a hand card, you can’t forcefully create a genealogy and earn money. It’s normal and there’s no need to feel sorry for it.
The important thing is what will you get after this. That’s all.
“Sometimes I’ll even give you a heart massage.”
He glanced at his finger. To remind you of what these fingers touched and the hope you felt then.
“Sometimes.”
“Yeah…”
It’s a bit disappointing, but if you get a relationship like this.
Watching the vampire leave my room, I put on a smile of repentance.
