The Dark Rebirth of Pandora: Revenge of the Abyss

Chapter 607: Two Similar Vampires



Chapter 607: Two Similar Vampires



"...Mother Grimm, what are you doing here?" I ask Mother Grimm, who's standing in my room. I sit down gently on the bed, feeling that thing sink deeper as the mattress compresses under my weight.


"Your room looks like mine. In mine, I have several pictures of Pandora," Mother Grimm says, looking at the various photos of Eclipsya scattered around, some taken from angles Eclipsya herself doesn't even suspect exist. Currently we're on break from the academy, so we're all staying at the castle.


"I came to get you so I could teach you blood-type magic. I have some very powerful and useful ones..." She comes over and takes my hand.


"M-Mother!!" She lifts me into the air, slipping her hand under my skirt and grabbing something. She pulls it out while I let out a weak moan, but her hand isn't big enough to pull the whole thing out, so she pushes me, throwing me onto the bed, finally pulling it out completely with a wet sound.


"Wow...that's an excessive size for a toy." I blush crimson, watching the limp toy drip onto the floor.


"D-Don't do that kind of thing!! If you wanted to teach me magic, you could have just said—"


"The magic I'm going to teach you can't have any 'disturbance.' You need to concentrate, and using that thing will get in the way," she says, tossing my toy onto the floor.


"Come on. You're going to love learning this. These are some spells I'm truly proud of creating, and more importantly, I can teach you how to create those clones you saw in my castle."


"Really!? You're going to teach me that!" I get up, way too interested in Mother Grimm's clone magic. Those clones are perfect in every way, and I want to learn how to make them. Just imagine the possibilities!!


"I'm glad you're excited. I'm also going to teach you metamorphosis magic—the one I use to alter my appearance and physical features." Mother Grimm mentions another skill I find incredible.


"Mother...you're amazing!!" I leap at her, hugging her. She wants to teach me exactly the two spells that interested me the most. Not that she doesn't have others, but metamorphosis and cloning are the two with the greatest practical utility.


"Hehehe. Of course I'm amazing, sweetheart. Finally we can have a mother-daughter moment without anyone getting in the way. That little brat Eclipsya is training spatial magic with her mother."


"And your other two sisters are going off to war with the elves, so you'll have a good stretch of time without being bothered." She starts carrying me while I cling to her lap like I used to in the past.


"Mother Pandora won't be mad about what you're going to do, will she?" I'm sure she'll have teaching methods that cause problems.


"No, she doesn't need to know. Besides...where the hell have you been getting that kind of thing? That toy is pretty unusual, and it's not something stores sell."


"Oh, it's from Gehinnom the alchemist!! She/He? Well, I'll call her 'she.' She likes giving me gifts, and she accommodates many of my requests. We're good friends, though I don't really understand why Gehinnom likes me."


"...Yeah, I don't really get it either, but take advantage of that fact. Gehinnom is a very skilled alchemist, and if she wants to give you gifts, you should accept most of them."


"Aren't you two a little old to be doing this kind of thing?" Someone speaks to us, making my hand stop. I turn my head and see that it was Gehinnom who spoke.


"Oh!! Gehinnom, you're here! That toy I asked for is wonderful! Thank you!" I tell Gehinnom, who nods with a small smile.


"Gehinnom, I see you're practically living in this castle now. I see you everywhere," Mother Grimm says sarcastically.


"I simply closed a good contract with this kingdom. Unlike you, who pays poorly, this kingdom pays me exactly what I deserve and what I ask for. They know how to see my worth—something you never did." Gehinnom speaks coldly to Mother Grimm.


"Hahaha. Of course I see your worth, Gehinnom. That's why I've never killed you. But paying a high price for you is something I won't do unless I really need something extremely urgent...now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to train my daughter."


"And Elena wants to see you soon. Something about that carriage project and the public teleportation project she's trying to make."


"...Fine. I was going to see her anyway. I'm curious about her body." Gehinnom walks past us while Mother lets out a little chuckle.


"Sweetheart, I made a special room for us to train in. Ignoring what Gehinnom said about you being in my lap, let's keep going! Also, I'm curious—has your relationship with Eclipsya been going well?"


"Yes! Eclipsya has been arranging more fun dates, even though she's such a puritan. She never wants to have sex with me, but that's okay. It's fun when she suddenly kidnaps me—she's good at it; most of the time I don't even notice!!"


"But the thing is, Eclipsya is my opposite. She's puritanical, sexually clean, and gentle, never wanting to hurt me even when I want her to hurt me."


"Is that so?~" My mother gives a suspicious little smile.


"Well, I think the fact that you're not wearing panties and that you were sitting on a toy over two meters long already makes your situation clear."


"M-Mother!! Don't meddle in these matters! A woman's toys are personal...besides, I like how deep it reaches back there...the feeling of it curving is good...that's all." I say, a bit embarrassed.


"Hahaha. I understand. I explored my own body a lot in the past too. Well, besides blood magic, how about you learn holy magic from me?"


"Huh? Holy magic? But...really? I usually use blood and darkness magic, so holy magic?" I ask, confused.


"...Your mother here is very good at holy magic. I just don't use it. But it's always good to know more things. Besides, in the past, I wasn't the bloodthirsty monster I am now. I was a sweet, kind, innocent woman."


"Lie? You were kind and innocent?"


"It's not a lie. I was very different before...but if you keep talking like that, you'll hurt my feelings...well, looks like we've arrived." We enter a room painted white. The room seems very sturdy.


"This is where we'll train?"


"Yes, it is...now get ready. It's going to be intense." She sets me on the floor, speaking in a strange tone, but I just look at her, eager to learn blood magic and metamorphosis magic.


...


...


...


"Hey, Miss Grimm called for a maid. It's your turn." A fellow maid tells me as I sigh.


"Really? Me? Isn't there someone else? That woman is kind of scary..."


"It doesn't matter. It's your turn. Last time, I was the one who went." She gives me a little push while I look at this door that seems intimidating. I glance to the side, but all I see is my colleague running away quickly, not wanting to be seen.


'It's fine...nothing's going to happen...that woman is a bit macabre, but just go in, obey, and leave...' I take a deep breath, trying to calm myself, even though I sense something wrong about this dangerous vampire.


"M-Miss Grimm...I'm here." I knock weakly on the door, but I hear a loud crash and the door shakes. I flinch, shrinking back a little until the door opens. I see Miss Grimm with a cold expression and a bit of blood on her face.


"You took too long, but that's fine. I need you to take her and give her a bath."


"?" I'm confused until Miss Azazel appears. She staggers out naked and completely covered in blood. She's panting and collapses into my arms. I've never, ever seen Miss Azazel exhausted.


"Training is over for today, Azazel. Come back at the same time tomorrow." Miss Grimm leaves through the door and walks away while I hold Miss Azazel, who's nearly unconscious. I quickly carry her to the nearest bathroom.


"M-Miss Azazel, a-are you okay? Do you need a doctor?" I ask nervously, opening the door and taking her to the bath.


"N-No..." She can't even deny it and ends up vomiting blood onto the floor. I don't even want to know what happened. She doesn't seem to have any wounds, but she's very covered in blood. I gently place her in the tub and turn on the water.


"A-Ah..." She lets out a small whimper of pain when the water touches her skin.


"I want...y-your blood..." She orders weakly. I shrink back a bit but obey, moving my clothes aside gently and bringing my neck close. I feel the bite as she starts sucking my blood, until I start to feel dizzy, and then she stops.


'I-I'm pale...' I look at my hands. Just four seconds of her sucking my blood left me pale; a little longer and I could have died.


"Blergh..." Azazel ends up vomiting flowers? They're some kind of rose, red as blood, vibrating in a strange shade of red as I step back.


"I-I should tell Elen—"


"..." She grabs my hand, her gaze turning dangerous.


"Stay quiet...it's just training...with Mother Grimm...I'm fine...just...need to rest...bring me more food...and then go away..." She holds one of the "flowers" that came out of her mouth. The bathwater has turned red from all the blood.


"I-I'm going." I quickly pull away and run outside. I don't know what happened, but it's not something I should get involved in. Miss Grimm is still someone married to the Demon King Pandora, so I should just be subservient as always and not question orders unless I want to meet my end.
