Vampire's Slice Of Life-Novel

"You made the dream?"

Lucifer took her hands off Lith's shoulder when she saw him appear completely fine. She then said, "obviously. Who else do you think could've done it?"

"I see." Lith said simply without any emotions.

He then walked close to Lucifer and suddenly held her by the waist, surprising her.

Lith kissed her lips lightly and letting go, said looking her in the eyes, "Thanks. Without your help, I would've really had a hard time with many things."

Lucifer, who just got kissed, got away from Lith's embrace and said,

"Woah… someone's bold, huh? Have you got no shame? Kissing your own aunt out of nowhere… do you not feel any guilt or anything to force yourself upon someone like this?"

Lith rolled his eyes. "Why are you so dramatic? Anyway, my first thought was to spank your buttocks and get them to match the color of your horns. But being a good person, I still said my thanks first."

"If you don't want it, I take it back." Lith shrugged after saying so.

Lucifer squinted her eyes and said, "thanks? What for? And also, if you wanna praise me, praise me with some better and more sugary words. Say, 'Aunt Lucifer is the best in the whole world. I love my aunt. I am a slave to her kindness and care.' and then probably I may consider it."

Lith stared at Lucifer with a gaze that read, 'why is she like this?' and questioned why he even bothered to say thanks to her and not spanked her ass.

Looking at Lith's face, Lucifer felt he was probably thinking something bad about her.

"Hey! Stop thinking whatever bad thing you're thinking about me. Tell me, why the thanks is for or I'll drop you in a dungeon next and train you for a good while."

Lith clicked his tongue as he heard her. "Tsk. So troublesome."

He knew Lucifer wasn't joking when she said that. She wanted her curiosity to be fulfilled and she could do anything to make it happen, going so far as to even make Lith suffer in harsh training.

Lith didn't want things to drag and he said, "thanks to you, I now have a path to walk on and all my shackles are broken. My mental strength has taken a boost and the guilt I was feeling earlier when I killed those innocent people, I don't feel anything for them now."

"Ah… so it was for that." Lucifer nodded in understanding. "Souka, souka, indeed, me very good aunt. Good job me." ????????n????e????d. co????

Lucifer shamelessly gave more credit to herself and said with pride as if she had done a great job.

Lith ignored that and turned to look at the innocents he had killed.

'Well… it's either kill or get killed. And although these people didn't have the power to kill me, I did have a task on me that required me to kill them. It was all justifiable, but also not justifiable. I guess I gotta live with this hypocrisy from now on.' Lith shrugged after thinking so.

Lith had changed. His mentality had changed. He now had no care for the innocents at all. The only people that mattered to him were his close ones and that's about it.

He would be the kindest and the best person he could be and shower all his love and care to his close ones. But he would be the exact opposite — the most vile person there could be, if the talk was about other people.

Lucifer, who was watching Lith look at the corpses, suddenly thought of something and asked,

"Hey, you didn't do anything for that little girl in the dream?"

Lith shook his head. "No. Although at the start I may have thought of taking her out of such a bad fate, by the end, I realized that the only attachment I had with the girl was to watch the stars together. Even without her, I could see the stars. She did no other thing, it wasn't worth my time to save her or kill people for her."

"I think her purpose was just there to make me be more confused and to influence me into choosing the hero path. Anyway…"

Lucifer listened intently as he spoke and didn't interrupt him.

Lith continued:

"On the other hand, the guy got beaten up for me and did something for me. It was worth a try to continue to be his friend, but in the end, he was still morally bound with things and I realized that if I am with him, I'll only hold him back. So it was better to part ways. Although it was sad and I didn't want such a thing to happen, I had to do it for his betterment."

"I avenged him and I was going to give him ways to break free of such a slave life as a form of thanks. But the dream got over and I was out."

Lucifer nodded. "I see. Well… judging from such things, I am assuming you took the path of villain, right? You just didn't get to kill everyone since you were out early."

Lith shook his head. "Nope. I didn't choose the villain path."

Lucifer was confused. "But killing the kid so cruelly, slicing him like he's a potato and then those guards too, it definitely wasn't a hero path."

Lith smirked as he heard that. "Who said that there could only be two paths?"

Lucifer raised an eyebrow in surprise. "There is another path other than those two?"

Lith chuckled. "Obviously."

"What is it?"

"Not telling."

"Want more training?"

"..."

Lith kept his mouth shut and simply stared at her as he heard that question.

The two stared at each other for a good while until Lucifer smiled and broke the silence saying, "more training it is then."

Lith looked at her and said shamelessly, "well, if you're talking about training together in bed, I am down. But dungeon, nope."
