Well that's about it, isn't it?

　It's not that big of a place, so we had a bit of a hard time replenishing food and water...
　Still, I was able to get enough for my needs.

　It was more than one person could carry, and I had arranged to have it delivered later.
　That should be enough.

　I looked at the sky and saw that the sun was just above us.
　'It's lunchtime.

''We'll have lunch first and then we'll meet up with the others to discuss the future... Can we leave tomorrow?''

　While thinking about our future plans, we look for a place to eat to satisfy our hunger.
　However, the place is limited because it is a small town.
　In the end, we decided to eat at the inn we're using now.

'Oops.'

　I found Rifa and Nina.
　I wonder if they're having lunch too?

　I was trying to share a table and...
　I witnessed an outrageous scene and panicked.

''Uh ... hmmm ...''
Hmm.

　Rifa bit Nina's arm!

　Nina trembles lightly, but she doesn't try to shake Rifa, as if in agreement.
　As it is, she lets Rifa take over and....
　Rifa is a rifa, and while looking somewhat satisfied, she chuckles and sucks Nina's blood.

''Wait ... Rifa, Nina. What are you doing?
Oh....Rain. Hi.........
Uh, hello.

　We were both very calm.
　I feel like an idiot for being so upset, alone.

'Why is Rifa biting Nina...?
Food.
What, food?
Yes, it's a meal.
What's this all about?
I'm a vampire. Blood is food.
'Oh, by the way...'

　I was upset by the shocking scene, but...
　As Rifa says, vampires, a type of demon race, sometimes use blood as their diet.
　It seems that they sometimes run out of blood because they need it when they use their abilities.
　At such times, they get supplied by others.

'I'm not picking on Nina, I'm not picking on her. Do you understand?
'Oh yeah, I guess so. I'm sorry. I spoke too soon.
'Okay. It's normal to be surprised.

　While talking about this, Rifa continued to slowly suck Nina's blood.
　Each time she did so, Nina twitched and shook her body.

''Nina, does it hurt?''
Heh, I'm fine. A lie.....

　A strange, s*xy breath spilled from Nina's lips.
　Does it feel good?

"When you suck blood, a special anesthetic comes out of your fangs. It's to eliminate pain and as a thank you for sharing your blood.

　As if to answer my question, Rifa told me something like that.

''Whew ... thanks for the treat.
You're welcome.

　Satisfied, Rifa removed her mouth from Nina's arm.
　Although the bite marks from the canine teeth left behind....
　Rifa flicked it off and it went away quickly, too.
　Apparently, they have a great aftercare system.

''Rain........what's wrong?''
We're going to get some food.
Why don't you eat with me?
Yeah, I was going to.

　We got to a table together.
　At that point, they move their seats and lead me to the middle.

I'm going to have to..............
I'll eat it with you.
"Rifa drank blood?
'Blood is necessary for the use of our abilities and hunger is not satiated. Rice is rice, and you have to eat it properly and separately.
I see.

　I ordered grilled fish, Rifa ordered grilled meat, and Nina ordered a salad set.
　It's interesting to see how each of us has our own personality, even if it's just one thing we eat.

　Rifa and Nina and I enjoy chatting until our ordered meals are served.
　It's an ordinary conversation, but it's fun.

'Jeez,'

　Suddenly, Rifa looked at me.
　To be precise, she was looking at my neck area.

'What's going on?'
Does Rain's blood taste good?
No, I don't know ... well, you never know.
Can I try it?

　Apparently, Rifa wasn't satisfied yet.
　She would stare at me while giving me a greedy look.
　That and the occasional licking of her tongue.

　I can no longer do anything but giggle.

''Uh ... please be gentle with me.''
Are you sure?
Don't hurt me too much, okay?
I'm on it.

　Rifa dropped to her knees on the chair, looking somewhat happy, although her expression didn't change.
　Then she put her mouth to my neck and........

Ammo.

　Gently, I thrust my canine teeth into it.
　A tingle of pain runs through me, but it quickly disappears.
　Instead, a sweet, numbing sensation spreads.

　Indeed, it doesn't hurt at all............................it feels good.
　I feel like I'm drunk, and my body is starting to feel fluffy.

　What about Refa?　I wonder if my blood is enough for you?
　Curious, I lightly moved my head and looked to the side...

Whew...!

　Rifa had a twinkle in her eye, as if she'd never seen it before.

'I've never seen blood like this before. It's sweet and rich and smells deep........mmmm.
Wha...?

　Rifa is absorbed in sucking my blood.
　I'm starting to feel lightly dizzy because I keep sucking.

　Oh no, is it anemia?
　I never thought I'd be drunk to such an extent...
　That Rifa guy is forgetting to take it easy.......or is he sucking blood as hard as he can?

　At this rate, it's as good as it gets...

No....you know what?

　Just when I thought it was bad, with a huff, the weight of the rifa on my shoulder disappeared.
　I turned around and saw that he had moved to the seat next to one of them, in a blood-sucking position.

''........Huh?''
Rifa, that's too much.

　Nina, meh, she gets angry.
　That seems to have reminded her that she had lost herself, and Rifa looks apologetic.

I'm sorry, Rain, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I was out of line.
'Don't worry about it. I'm a little surprised, but it's nothing special.
I didn't know I was going to be like that.

　It seems that he is proud to be a vampire, and Rifa was rather seriously depressed.
　He seems to think that it's the same as a beast to forget oneself and suck blood.

Hmmm.
Uh ... that could be me.
What do you mean?
It's like there's something wrong with my blood.
Oh.

　Thinking for a bit, Rifa mumbled a small word as if she was convinced.

　I explained to Rifa before this that I also have the qualifications of a brave man.
　The qualification of a brave man means that you have inherited a small amount of God's blood.

　In other words, it's different from an ordinary person's blood.......
　I think that's why Rifa got carried away.

"Oh, I'm sure. I don't blame her for losing her temper. I'm sorry for what I've done. I'm sorry.
All right. Just take care of yourself in the future.
And now, does that mean I can have another drink?
Oh, yeah ... once in a while.

　Rifa bit at a tremendous rate and replied with a bit of a drawl.

''Yes. Hmmm.''

　We're not early, are we?
　I was thinking about that when I saw Rifa smiling at me.
