I decided to go for some casual sword strikes to end this simulated battle.  
 
However, just as I leaped, something gleamed at the corner of my vision. 
 
Without time to ponder what it was, I instinctively reacted. 
 
—It was probably a poison needle shot from something like a blowgun. 
 
At an unbelievable speed, it accurately targeted Yuzuriha.  
 
Even if she noticed, swinging her sword in mid-air left her unable to avoid the inevitable hit. … Read more

After various twists and turns, the achievement of defeating the wandering white-haired vampire became that of “Miss Yuzuriha of the Sakuragi Duke family and her companions.” It’s a joyous occasion. 
 
However, in return, I couldn’t escape from escorting Yuzuriha-san at the outdoor party. 
 
“At present, Yuzuriha doesn’t have a fiancé, and among the comrades who repelled the devil, you’re the only man. So, it’s natural for you to escort her.” 
 
“But in such cases, shouldn’t a relative of Yuzuriha-san escort her…?” … Read more

2 (Toko’s point of view) 
 
 
 
Just a few days ago, I started frequenting the Duke’s house. 
 
While Toko had known the Duke as a noble when she was a princess, their relationship was only limited to brief conversations at noble parties.

Not long after returning from the tumultuous journey, I received a summons from the Sakuragi Duke’s residence.  
 
What now?

I braced myself for the worst, maybe even ritual suicide. 
 
At all costs, I must make sure that Suzuha will not suffer any consequences…! … Read more

“No way! That’s impossible! I’ve never heard of a human surviving an encounter with the wandering white-haired vampire. Besides, encountering that demon, which is said to appear every few years to decades somewhere in this vast world, twice is astronomical odds!,”  
 
“But we did encounter the wandering white-haired vampire before. That’s a fact,”  
 
” …… Seriously …… ” 
 
“Since the day our village was destroyed by the white-haired vampire, my brother has been trying to become stronger like a madman.… Read more

From Yuzuriha’s observation, Suzuha would completely follow her brother’s lead.  
 
And her brother seemed to hold a fundamental belief that most nobles are tyrannical. 
 
So, if he receives poor treatment from irrelevant or unfamiliar nobles, it might not be a big issue. 
 
However.
