Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start

-----

After half an hour of healing and moving the bodies back to the village, the priests gathered together in front of the bodies, led by Ellergest, they all began to pray to the Holy Spirits. Glowing lights began to descend from the sky and stared to cover the bodies of the fallen. With my Demon Eyes, I was able to see the souls of the fallen, some had stayed lingering within their corpses, but quickly felt the embracing light, weakening and slowly flying away.

I see, this was a method to not let the corpses become Undead, isn't it? So there are Undead in this world, huh? I kind of want to fight some now. If I could find Undead Monsters, I would use their Spirit Orbs and absorb them through Gluttony to create Spirits of them to summon in masse. Ah, now that's interesting.

Nonetheless, thinking about these things was not necessary, it was time to celebrate. I couldn't deny it, this human body gets hungry very quickly after using a lot of Mana and other energies, so I am absurdly hungry. I would easily jus begin eating the demon's meat, but it needs to first be purified and cleansed, and such a process is too slow to eat immediately.

Because of that, I decided to share from my own storage, where I still had the frozen meat of the Wild Boar I killed when I rescued Lukas. I also have a lot of already purified demon meat which I had prepared for any cooking occasion, so I brought everything with the help of Erika, Chris, and Eric. I wanted to mostly roast and grill it all in skewers.

My mother and my grandmother insisted on coming as well after knowing everything concluded, they wanted to see my father too. My mother had yet to know I participated in the war, but she'll probably know in this meeting. I have to steel myself for her lecturing, after all, her almost eight-year-old child shouldn't be involved in such a large-scale war at all. Having a family is warm and comforting most of the time, but issues such as these makes it problematic sometimes.

When we arrived at the church's backyard, the bodies were quickly moved inside a large storage room that was purified and cleansed beforehand. Ellergest said that they'll be preserved in there until they were buried in their graves.

For the moment, it was finally allowed to celebrate our victory. When everybody saw the large amount of meat and other food I brought from my own personal storage, the soldiers seemed shocked. The church had already begun cooking some stew and bone soup, but they lacked a lot of food to fill people's stomachs completely.

"Uuuoooh! So much meat!"

"I-Is this Giant Wild Boar Meat?!"

"A-Amazing… But isn't this too expensive?!"

​ "Is this okay?"

"Yes, this is all my own meat which I've hunted and preserved through magic. I have decided to share it with everyone." I said with a slight smile. The soldiers felt happy that they would be able to eat so much meat, good meat was overly expensive, especially that of a rare specimen such as the Wild Boars. Poor soldiers like them could only hope to eat such a quality of meat.

As they celebrated, I quickly began to prepare things, my mother and my grandmother also wanted to join and cook with us. Everything was rather harmonious. Ellergest took this opportunity to raise the morale with a speech to the soldiers.

"It is all thanks to you that we have won against the demons. The sacrifice of the fallen will not be forgotten, and tonight we shall celebrate our victory alongside the souls of our fallen comrades. Let's make sure to enjoy ourselves for all those that cannot do so right now, so we can tell them that everything is alright now, and that their lives were not in vain!"

Ellergest was surprisingly good with his speeches, the people cheered immediately after, and they quickly began to celebrate. I noticed large barrels with beer being brought by the knights as a gift to all the soldiers, and the party finally started when everybody began to drink alcohol.

One of the things that I often enjoyed even as a Vampire aside from blood was alcohol, but now that I am a child, I would be seen as weird if I ever drank beer, especially because I am not even a teenager yet. Anyways, we distributed the food for a while, after that, I finally decided to sit down in front of an empty table to enjoy myself some meat, stew, soup, and fruit juice. However, a swarm of people I knew ran to my side, sitting around.

My mother brought a giant piece of roasted meat to cut down into slices alongside a large pot with vegetable salad, while my grandmother helped her. Both of their spirits also brought my father, wounded as he was, he really wanted to congratulate everyone (especially me) for the big victory. He seemed to be recovering quickly from his exhaustion thanks to the Ki that flows through his body. His meeting with my mother was quite emotional, my mother even began to cry a lot. I had never seen her this way before, it made me feel like my father was a reckless idiot for worrying her so much… but then I realized I was also quite reckless.

"Well, at the end Blake rescued me. I cannot believe how strong he has grown… I am now sure he's blessed by the Holy Spirits more than anybody!" My father said while hugging me and petting my head. My mother immediately reacted with shock.

"W-Whaaat?! Blake! Y-You… Don't tell me that you went to war?!" My mother screamed back at me, her concern quickly turning into the fury of a concerned mother against her reckless son.

"Mother, I can explain it-"

"You're so irresponsible! What if you died?! I know that you saved your father but still! Everything is fine and nice now but I will have to reprimand you more tomorrow, alright? But for now, well, let's celebrate. I don't really want to stress myself more…"

"Oh… Very well."

My mother was surprisingly flexible about it… Although I can guess she will reprimand me to her heart's content tomorrow.
