Chapter 152 What kind of life do you want to live?
3 month 23 day.

early.

Looking around frantically.

I have had similar experiences.

On the eve of the dance, I accidentally lost the necklace my mother gave me. I searched everywhere for it.

But now it’s even more terrifying.

I'm worried. I'll see... dead bodies, which I don't want to see.

"Oh, are you looking for a powerful guy?"

"?"

I haven't met anyone like him.

But the first time I saw them, their pupils were vertical, the same red or light green as mine.

"Hey!"

"Don't act like you want to kill someone, he's one of us!"

"..."

I followed them to the town I had visited with Plato before.

Plato was resting in the room.

"See? He's fine."

"It just takes some time... Well, she will definitely wake up tomorrow at most. My grandmother treated her personally."

"..."

I don't know my grandmother.

I don't know who they are.

I wanted to stay in the room, but I knew...after I made sure Plato was okay, I should try to figure out what happened.

It's not that sudden.

I know. When I arrived in the Holy City, Plato went to the church and did some great things without my knowledge.

Even if he didn't mention it in detail, something that could have exhausted and injured him must not be simple.

It turns out... that he rescued my own kind.

Then the grandmother was found by the escaped ones.

"That's you."

"Have you ever been married to him?"

"?"

I couldn't move. Just a glance from her paralyzed me.

My grandmother's nails scratched my neck and left a shallow wound. I saw her taste my blood.

"That's right. You are my sister's descendant."

"Museol Eliza?"

"..."

I had no idea about that before.

Why mothers like to raise young and energetic knights.

"how to say?"

"Although your mother loves your father very much, she is of that size. She was also one of the most talented succubi in our clan."

"It's just human, there's no way to satisfy that. If your father didn't do that, your mother would age very quickly."

"But...you are different."

"After drinking the church's medicine, you have half weakened succubus blood and half vampire blood. Both ways of eating can make you an adult."

adult.

It means that you are not afraid of the sun.

"Don't you believe it?"

"In fact, I already knew that my sister's child had escaped. After all, I went back and buried your parents' heads. Many people knew that you had escaped, and many people who were on the fence were guillotined because of your escape."

"There's no point in saying more, just look at this."

"Do you still recognize it?"

"..."

It's a necklace.

Of course I recognized it... It was my mother's favorite crystal necklace. My father gave it to her. It seemed that my mother had been wearing it for as long as she could remember.

"Introduce yourself."

"My name is Maria Wingert Eliza."

I can't see through the red-haired woman.

But I don't think she's lying to me. And I don't care about it now.

"hehe."

"She's different from your mother, but she's similar to her in some ways."

"Don't worry, nothing's wrong with him."

night.

I sat in the hall drinking tea anxiously until someone came and said Plato was well.

Immediately.

immediately.

……

Run over.

Before I went in, I heard a conversation inside. It was very angry.

You are so energetic in this conversation. You must have woken up a long time ago. The moment you opened your eyes, did you not think that I was still worried about you?
"do you like her?"

Just about to push the door.

Hearing such questions.

I stopped for no apparent reason.

"I...want her body."

"..."

"I like her, too."

what.

Can you say you like me so seriously in front of others?
But he only says it in front of me, and only when he does something obscene.

I can't really tell if he said that because he felt comfortable with my body, or if it was genuine.

why?
So easily, he told my grandmother what happened.

My cheeks must have been burning.

Although I know that practice and such… Plato knew all that.

But I didn't know he knew it to that extent.

What? I was complaining while helping him clean up and tidy up the room. ... Can I just tell my grandmother about this?!

He is an asshole!
"grandmother."

"I have some questions. Is it better for her to drink blood or essence?"

"If it's not a pure-blooded vampire or a pure-blooded succubus, how long can it live at most?"

"Oh? Are you asking these questions because you are considering how to get along with her in the future?"

"..."

I.

Hearing his healthy voice, I felt relieved.

But at the same time, hearing this, my toes clenched again.

He really wanted to live with me. He didn't want to abandon me.

but……

You can obviously say these words to me.

I have changed a lot.

As a result, after he really changed, he became more and more disobedient.

I got hurt again. Plato is not a tool that can be repaired if it breaks. Those are real injuries that hurt.

What's the best way to drink as much as you can once every three to five days?

I'm not that kind of person!
If you really want to think like that, then at least you have a healthy body. If it's so weak, no matter how delicious it tastes, I won't be interested in drinking it!
"No need to look for it."

"That kid was looking for you everywhere at dawn. It's obvious that he cares about you a lot."

"Clap clap."

My grandmother must have known I was at the door.

Only Plato didn't know. He didn't care about me at all.

Nor...

I know that, except for sometimes being disobedient, he cares about me a lot.

That's why I'm angry.

"Plato! You are... an idiot!!!"

Too good to him.

They will only become more and more disobedient.

But it is not my original intention to treat him badly.

Don't care about those.

He had promised it himself, and after seeing me crying, he had promised solemnly that he would be back soon.

From childhood to adulthood, the only time I cried was when I saw my parents being executed by guillotine.

and so.

He was an idiot. Absolutely... an irritating idiot.

3 month 24 day.

Return to Keyimu Town.

The renovated square had a statue erected on it. It was a statue of Plato.

A stone tablet was also erected.

[This is to commemorate the hero who saved Keyimu Town, Mr. Plato...]

"Hey, Sue."

"These are people who are grateful to you and have spontaneously proposed to erect a statue for you."

"..."

Plato touched the back of his head and looked somewhat happy.

I'm actually a little proud too.

Plato... is my knight and companion.

But seeing him grinning made me feel uncomfortable.

"You must be very happy, right? They have completely regarded you as a god."

"Why am I so happy?"

"Maybe it's not just the people on grandma's side who like you. The young girls in this village may also like you."

I have a vague feeling.

Maybe... I'm not worthy of Plato?

"That can't be helped. It proves that your eye for selecting people is fine."

what?

"Who chose you?!"

I didn't choose him.

It was he who suddenly came to show his courtesy and fell into his trap.

"You are just a servant, a knight! And a knight who may be eliminated by me at any time if you don't obey me!"

but.

I'm not unhappy about it.

I'm just a little uncomfortable with the current mood. I mean... ever since I went to my grandmother's place and saw those lustful succubi, I've become more and more reluctant to let other humans touch Plato.

I'm not a fool either.

I know. This feeling is no longer just about not liking others touching my things.

"it was all your fault!"

Can't help it.

Kick him. I'm weird, it's all Plato's problem.

3 month 26 day.

Plato went to the next town to look for his grandmother again.

I went too.

He just went out to discuss something and I was outside.

I have something to ask too.

"Hey, Sister Xue'er, please don't look at me so closely."

"we are Family."

"If I can train Plato well, won't you be the one who enjoys the happiness in the end?"

"..."

That's why I said, I hate these succubi.

But they can provide more useful knowledge to me.

"Um...you mean, how to tell if a man is comfortable?"

"H-what? Aren't you a succubus? You must be very experienced."

"Nothing, I just think it's a little cute that a girl who used to be a royal family would ask me such a question."

"..."

So what?
The royal family doesn't know how to know whether a man is comfortable or not.

"Want to learn? Just let me have a look at Brother Plato, and I promise to let you see clearly and learn clearly."

"..."

I want to take action.

"Wait! Just kidding, I do have a beginner's manual on succubus. It's usually for underage children. Do you want to take a look?"

Guess she knows the truth.

I need to know these things not to serve Plato.

I just think that if you want to give rewards, you have to give good ones. The royal family never gives inferior products, and neither does Sese.

"Sister Xue'er! Look at me, look at me!"

"?"

what.

There was also a girl who insisted on recognizing Plato as her brother and me as her sister.

"Can I be a maid?! I'll be an adult soon! Grandma said that if I want to, and Sister Xue'er agrees, I can be one of the first people to be exchanged to live in Keyimu Town!"

"..."

"talk later."

Her body was very thin, even smaller than mine when I was still a teenager.

It seems that Plato didn't like the fetish of young girls.

wrong.

What am I thinking?
If a bastard like him dared to get horny with a young fellow like him, I would definitely cut his penis off.

The Succubus Manual…it made me blush and my heart beat fast when I read it.

I didn't know there were so many ways to know if a man was comfortable. Or to make a man feel good.

If it's beating as fast as your heart, does that mean Plato is crazy?
Talking skills...

The way I spoke before was actually considered a way to excite men?
shameful!
I always thought that it would hurt his self-esteem.

Did he think I was teasing him? No, that's not right. If that was the case, with Plato's personality, he would have tied himself up in a timid way from the beginning.

He is just rude and vulgar!

"See? I'm very loyal."

Of course I know that Plato never had pleasure with those succubi.

I just kind of hate that he was so close to those women, laughing and flirting. He actually enjoyed it.

There were also days when I hadn't shivered.

I'm really different now.

"I... don't want to! I don't like it at all, I don't feel comfortable at all!"

This is definitely another strange phenomenon.

The contents of the Succubus Manual were deepened in my memory through actual experience. I recalled the contents described in the manual.

This idiot...

Deliberately rubbing and not starting.

According to the manual, you want to see me impatient?

impossible!

I won’t, absolutely won’t say… I want it!
Suddenly speed up.

Just want to hear my voice.

hum.

I learned a trick, just lean over to his ear, endure the shame a little, and deliberately let out a sweet voice.

I can laugh at him.

But it's not quite the same as described in the manual.

"what?"

"Come again?!"

Plato. Physical strength does not seem to be comparable to that of a normal person.

But that doesn't matter.

At least I know that he is obsessed with my body.

Slowly they would stop and have a long kiss.

"The legs hooked me again."

"I...I didn't..."

Is this a skill?

Although the manual also says that you can remain rebellious at the beginning, softening your tone later can make men feel conquered.

But I don’t go by technique.

It was natural. I wanted it to last longer, so I hooked him and didn't want him to move. I kept it like this.

4 month 1 day.

Plato did it anyway.

He exposed the heresy to the people of Keyimu Town. He created some kind of history, and I stood beside him to witness it all.

Just like my grandmother said.

It is now clear to me that Plato would not have lived an ordinary life.

And my words.

It doesn't matter what. No matter who a woman of the royal family marries, she will also try to help her husband obtain a title. On the other hand, if an ordinary woman marries a noble, she will gain power because of the noble. Plato and I are neither of those.

I am not royalty.

He is not a nobleman either.

"Why is it so troublesome? Free love."

"Come on, Xue'er. Let me massage your shoulders."

Weird.

Who would pinch their chest when they pinch their shoulders? Besides, my shoulders aren't sore. My waist is a little sore.

4 month 2 day.

Attend an annoying party.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a party in Keyimu Town?

Isn’t it nice to enjoy the sight of worship in Keyimu Town?
Isn’t it enough to have barbecue and grilled meat and have fun with the people in Keyimu Town?
I have to come to my grandmother's town to play.

"shut up!"

"If you dare to flirt with my personal guard knight again, I'll use your breasts to guillotine and chop you off!"

"Wow, can breasts also be guillotined? Well... mine seem to be enough."

"?"

Shameless!

What's so great about being big?
Smaller...smaller, Plato won't be able to put it down?!

So, it’s very infuriating.

But no one knew where Plato had gone.

In the bathroom.

And suddenly he became horny for me.

To be honest, I always feel like Plato is hiding something from me, but I can't really explain it.

But doing it here?

Those guys are outside, if my voice gets out...

But no matter how much I objected, Plato still wanted to do it.

Really, there's no way.

Actually, I was also... holding my breath for a while.

If you want to make the anger dissipate, what you are doing now is one of the ways.

The Succubus Manual also says.

Occasionally, it’s okay to express your affection appropriately.

I understand this trick.

"I...it's not like I haven't said that before."

"I've already said it before... I like it."

But my intention in saying this at the moment is not to excite him.

It's so shameful.

But I overlooked one thing.

First of all, my voice was so soft that it couldn't cover up the echo in the bathroom.

Secondly, it will make him more excited.

This guy is definitely drunk!

then……

I must have been a little tipsy, otherwise I would never have agreed. What an idiot! How am I going to get out?
4 month 5 day.

Plato told me a story.

He has talked about it before, but not in enough detail. Today, no matter what questions I had, he answered them all.

I don't believe in 'planes'. He drew them with carbon.

Tell me the principle, the airflow and stuff like that... I totally don't understand.

There are also cars, ships, steam engines, generators...

A cafe that even the common people can go to. Sharks, octopuses, dolphins in the sea...

Rocket in outer space.

……

The more he talked, the harder it was to understand. But he looked very serious.

Is there really such a world?
As long as ordinary people work hard, they can have enough food and clothing. The only thing they worry about is how to live a better life. It is hard to understand why the price of houses is so high? Ordinary people just build houses when they want to.

"Let me tell you another story."

"?"

This time it's like a story about a princess and a knight.

He spoke very seriously.

I gradually began to understand what time and space are.

It tells the story of a person who lives in the world described by Plato, sending letters hundreds of years ago and communicating with a dead person through letters. But the two people never meet again until the end.

I don't know why Plato told me such a bitter story.

"In a few days, I will disappear."

"Because I am from the future. I don't belong to this era."

“Remember my cigarette box?”

"The website is at the bottom, and you need something called a computer to log in. The content on the side... and the overall craftsmanship are not the technology of this era."

"..."

The more serious he was, the more detailed he was.

The worse my mood becomes.

It's like you don't want me anymore.

"There is more to life than just love and romance. There are many other things to do."

"Do you like musical instruments? In the future, there will be many kinds of music, such as piano, drums, guitar..."

"It would be fine to have a cat. I remember you had a rabbit before."

"..."

"Shut up!"

I'm fed up with it.

Sitting astride his stomach.

"No matter what era you are from, or the future."

"Now you're mine!"

Don't tell me stories I don't like to hear.

Humph.

Now, even Plato's thing is better than his. At least it's very honest, and it will react honestly as long as you touch it with your feet.

"I'll tell you a story, too."

"Once upon a time there was a disobedient knight who made the princess unhappy."

"The princess cut off the knight's hair with a click, turning him into a girl."

"is it?"

Why can you still laugh?

Really cut it off! Otherwise it will make a sound again.

"I just realized that Xue'er's clothes today seem to be a little different?"

"!"

"No! It's just the usual!"

How could I know that he would suddenly make me unhappy?

I found clothes that seemed to be prepared for me in his room, so I thought...

I am sensitive to disappearing words.

So... I really hate it when he keeps saying these two words.

"All right."

"This is the only reward for today. Humph, you asked for it."

I.

At that time, I didn't take the story Plato told seriously.

4 month 15 day.

Plato did nothing.

I don't understand.

I always thought that I was talented or that I learned quickly.

But when Plato really took action, this was the level he reached?
"You are wrong."

"A real man, like me. I feel excited because I see you pulling me unconsciously with blurry eyes."

"I...I didn't..."

The Succubus Manual was written.

Men are turned on by a woman's instinctive response.

But that's... that's a skill! It's not instinct! I'm not a filthy person like Plato!
Even if it is true, it was Plato who led people astray!

"Anyway, don't worry, you're very talented."

No wonder!
What princess in the world would be happy to be praised for her talent?

If I had enough strength and didn't want to move, I would have bitten him to death!

"Oh?"

"Xue'er, you seem to welcome me?"

"?"

what.

My consciousness was so hazy that I forgot everything. Now I am completely defenseless...

Coo.

annoying.

It's that voice again... I seem to be a bit vulgar too. It's all his fault!
No looking!
If you want to tremble, then tremble. If you keep staring at me... I'll gouge out his eyes.

You dare to pull my hair...

Ugh.

Why do I feel so comfortable this time?
real or fake?

As long as they like each other, they will get pregnant?!

Well... now what should I do if I get pregnant?

How could I be prepared to be a mother? What a fool!

4 month 16 day.

I'm very happy.

My grandmother's side is developing very smoothly, and Keyimu Town is also developing very smoothly.

I hate being taught knowledge that I don't want to hear.

But I thought, my grandmother was right. Plato was so good as a knight and a companion. I should show some strength too.

He was disobedient because I couldn't beat him.

If I could beat him, I would tie him up immediately if he dared to disobey!
"Study well."

"..."

"Water can carry a boat and also capsize it."

"…No, this is a strange text. This is a theory provided by Plato!"

"Yes. He is very concise. It's right to learn more from him."

So I am only learning from Plato? I might as well let Plato teach me.

Not at all.

If I teach him, he will start to do something after a while. No, if I reward him every day, he will definitely become more and more disobedient.

It's good now.

He was only allowed to do that once every one or two days.

But I am not interested in becoming the queen in the future. Plato will be there to help me no matter what.

I was more enthusiastic about the ingredients Elaine gave me yesterday.

This time I'm serious.

Simmer over low heat until the meat turns white.

For me, I was just in a good mood and wanted to make something nice for Plato to make up for him being "forced" to eat carbon.

but.

For Plato, it was premeditated. It had been planned ten days in advance.

Plato did not come out of my bedroom as usual.

Not in the castle.

I saw it with my own eyes.

His body... was like he was asleep. No reaction at all, no matter how I shook him.

Then, as if he had never been in this world, he disappeared.

"P…Lato?"

My throat is so dry and my voice is hoarse.

"He didn't lie to you. The story he told was true."

Respond to mine.

Only at some point, my grandmother came to the castle and patted me on the shoulder.

How is that?
In order to prove that what he said is true, he asked his grandmother to come and observe with him?
To prove that he is not lying, let me see it with my own eyes?
So, what does it really mean?
story.

When I die, I will never see Plato again. He will live well in the future, and I will live well in the past?
"……wrong."

"how is this possible?"

"Plato... is a living person? How is that possible..."

It must be some trick he passed down from his ancestors.

She even teamed up with my grandmother to deceive me. The Succubus Manual said that some hateful men like to play fishing and deliberately make women who have fallen in love with them anxious.

asshole!

How dare you tease me like this!
As a punishment, he is not allowed to enter my bedroom for a month!

4 month 19 day.

I called Keyimu Town, the town where my grandmother and her family lived.

Castle.

I looked everywhere. It's nowhere.

"..."

I can't make any sound.

The image of seeing Plato disappear with my own eyes kept flashing through my mind.

He told me that a long time ago.

That's not a story, it's real. It will disappear.

He never told me stories like that to upset me. That day was strange, wasn't it? It wasn't like the past, when I spoke to him with a sharp tongue and then ignored him. He didn't react. He just hugged me and slept.

"You didn't... lie to me?"

I looked at my grandmother, and my vision was inexplicably blurry.

"..."

Grandmother shook her head.

He took out a thick stack of things from his arms and said, "This is what Plato asked me to give to you after he disappears. I haven't read it."

It was a stitched booklet.

Wrote a lot of things.

Including Plato's real name, what he originally did, how he grew up, and what he experienced.

Also said.

Give me some advice. What should I do next time?

So this is ah.

I have done so much just because I feel that the dream is about to end, and I have paved the way for myself in advance. Once it is paved, I will go.

in the end……

What do you take me for?
I burst into tears. Gradually, I accepted the fact that Plato had told me long ago. That is, I accepted it on a physical level.

"2023 years..."

I begged my grandmother.

"I... wu, is there any way I can..."

"That's impossible. I don't know how far away the year 2023 is, but a rough estimate is at least a thousand years. Our lifespan cannot be that long."

"The craftsmanship of making cigarette boxes is indeed not what we should have in this era. I have been to many places, but I have never seen a human like him. My first impression is... he doesn't look like someone from the same period."

"..."

Maybe.

I can't breathe.

I was thinking. Should I have really tied up Plato before I got up the day before yesterday?

But that's useless, right?
I am weak, even Plato cannot resist the "awakening from a dream". I can't do anything.

Move your eyes to the last page.

It's written there.

【What kind of life do you want to live? It's up to you to decide. 】

Didn’t I already tell you what I wanted to live?
I want to spend time with you!

I don't remember how I got through that time.

I just remember my grandmother hugging me and saying.

'this is not your fault.'

Yes.

It's not my fault.

But since it’s not my fault, why should I be so sad?

I didn't do anything wrong.

Why doesn't Plato want me anymore?
This is not the life I want.

Pillow...

[If you miss Sese, or me, this can barely be a substitute. ]

Who wants this kind of thing?

What I want is the real, living him.

There is a bulge under the pillow.

What is it?
Who wants to talk about fake things like rewards? I am... obviously because I like you. That's why I learn those knowledge. To reward you.

But now, it's all gone. It's meaningless.
