"What is a contract?　What happens?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hearing aloud against the Norn .

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A way to be strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He proposes it using the word "contract.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, isn't this a sword?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought it was just an interesting and unusual weapon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But maybe not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe Norn, the magic sword with its own personality, is something that cannot be categorized as a weapon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（Yes. I am the mightiest sword. But that is only one aspect. It was originally designed as a ceremonial sword, not as a weapon.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（A ceremonial sword?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（Oh. The ritual is performed by gathering magical power through blood to enhance its power. That's how I'm supposed to use it.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（What's that? Why didn't you just say so from the beginning?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(I didn't think I needed to tell you that when I first met Alphonse. I didn't even think I could suck enough blood to get to that stage in the first place.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Oh, so you're saying you're ready to make that deal now?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（That's right. Ars donated the blood. I was able to suck so much of the finest blood that I would normally have died. And the blood is identical to yours. (This would make the blood contract a success.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　By the way, you were spurting out a lot of blood, saying that [recovery] would cure you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The blade of Norn's sword has turned bright red.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It looks like it could be used in some kind of a ritual, instead of the reddish-black bloodstains it was when I first found it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, wasn't this thing meant for combat?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（Well, what's going to happen in the end?　(How can a blood contract make you stronger?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（Yes. (Well, to explain that, let me first tell you about my past.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Norn then began to talk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know how long ago it was, but he told me a story that once existed, going back to the time when Norn was created.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The story of the Norns is a story of the past, which goes back to the time when Norn was created.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are many countries in the East.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are a number of countries in the East, such as Brillia, the Church of England, and the Empire.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One of them, the Empire, faces the sea, which is like a big lake.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Across the sea, there is another land.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Demon Continent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is a large continent called the "Devil Continent" where the Norns were created.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There used to be something called vampires in the depths of the Demon Continent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They feed by sucking blood and their magic power increases.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And it is said that these vampires lived a long life.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was said that they lived far longer than humans.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No one was sure how long the vampire would actually live, though.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Someone had his eye on the vampire.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not a story of falling in love with a vampire, however.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was attracted to them because of their longevity.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And he thought to himself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I become a vampire, I might live a long life.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He thought about it, studied it, and finally his obsession became a reality.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ritual magic sword was completed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was the Norn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sword sucks blood to increase its magical power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sword could then use that magic to perform rituals.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ritual gives the vampire characteristics.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is to say, they could gain life and magic through the medium of blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Using it, the person became a vampire and founded a nation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is said that there once existed a great nation of vampires.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But there is no longer such a country.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But there is no such country anymore, because many things have happened, problems from within and without, and it has been destroyed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　During the upheaval, the magic sword was taken out of the country, and it has been in the hands of various people since then.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, not all the people who had the sword in their hands became vampires.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is because a blood contract does not always succeed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ritual can be performed by sucking a lot of blood and gathering magical power, but it may fail if the blood is not compatible with the collected blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In short, the blood contract will not succeed if the compatibility is not right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I have already fulfilled this strict condition.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Normally, the blood and magic power of many people would be mixed together to fulfill the requirements, so it would be a matter of luck as to whether or not one could be a candidate for the ritual and whether or not the chemistry was right for him or her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the magic sword Norn received abundant blood and magical power from the brother Ars, a person who, in a sense, does not die even if he is slain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Moreover, before that, the sword was empty without a drop of blood because it had been left unattended for several hundred years.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, the sword currently only has the blood of me and my brother Ars.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's why the compatibility, which is the key to the success of the ritual, is perfect.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（What do you say, Alphonse?　Now you can be reborn. You can become the king of the bloodsuckers who were once the most powerful. You could even overtake Ars!)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(...... outrun brother Ars?　(Do you mean that I will be able to beat my brother Ars?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（Of course. It is possible. But even after becoming a bloodsucker, you'll still need to gather that much magical power.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm going to beat Brother Ars.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I could be stronger than Brother Ars.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seemed like the most tempting proposition ever.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So I nodded.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now is the time to perform this ritual.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now is the only time to do it, when you meet the requirements and have no other blood in your veins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we miss this opportunity, the blood contract may never succeed again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, I decided to accept Norn's proposal.
