Leveling Up with My Adorable Monster Girl Harem!

Chapter 61: A cute vampiress

Leon woke up to the sudden message.

[Celes Diamante has killed Black Asura Lv. 50]

[Do you want to turn him into a card?]

[You have turned him into a card.]

[You lack understanding, chains, and a collar to keep the monster's consciousness intact.]

Because Black Asura isn't a common race and they live with strict laws and hierarchy, Leon's class can't just enslave them without any flaws. Of course, with proper items, he'll be able to achieve this feat at some point.

But for now, Leon wanted to know what had happened.

He didn't wake up naturally, after all. The message promptly brought him back, telling him about an unknown danger lurking around. It felt great to know that Celes didn't need his assistance to deal with them, but she should have told him beforehand about them.

Leon wouldn't have pressured the vampiress to work together with him. He wouldn't oppose her idea and wishes if she was confident to deal with their enemies alone. However, it'd be best if he were to keep an eye on her stats and act accordingly in case her plans went astray.

Since Celes took her time to return, Leon took out the card and looked at its description.

[Black Asura Lv. 50(Epic)]

[Because of Celes Diamante's achievements, your [Book Of Monsters] received additional information about black asura from the system library.]

[In 3071, The Vampire King, Vlad B. Jade, fought against Black Asura's Emperor, Raven Black, in a Half-Moon Tournament for Tsukuyomi's blessings. In this tournament, the chosen races fought alongside the Moon Goddess' gift: Only the victor could keep some of it permanently, blending it into its bloodline. After his loss, Raven Black blamed the moon for taking away their blessings during the battle against the vampire.]

"Isn't that like a super important clue?" Leon squinted his eyes at the long system message.

Since no one knew what the royalty of black asura's wanted to achieve with their strict hierarchy and plans, Leon felt like the information he'd received gave him quite a long glimpse into their plans.

If one of their emperors lost in this important tournament and was confident that the moon had taken away their blessing, wouldn't that make the whole race against the moon? With their laws and system, it'd be easy to plant and direct hatred at Tsuyukomi and everyone related to the moon.

Leon didn't look particularly happy to receive that news, though.

"I'm back." Celes' voice brought Leon back from his thoughts.

He wheeled to her and ran his eyes on her body, ensuring nothing bad had happened to her. Of course, Celes was all fine since she'd dominated her opponent like a queen. And because of that, her beautiful face's fair skin seemed a little unhealthy, and she sucked some of her lips inside her mouth.

Leon noticed that her mind had been wounded in that clash.

"I wouldn't have stopped you from fighting that man alone. It's important to fight one versus one from time to time since that's one of the best ways to improve." Leon wasn't naive enough to believe he'd always fight alongside Louise and Celes, so he shared his views with the vampiress.

It was true that Celes had enough experience, but her current path had been different from her previous one. Her past self's level fifty stats were different from the current hers. Thus, she needed some solo battles.

Leon understood that much. "Knowing you have us looking after you might spoil your one versus one battle, but don't you think it would be much better to notify us beforehand?"

His tone was calm and soft, as though Leon wanted to comfort the vampiress. It was so odd, for their age gap was way more than just a few years, yet Celes could only look at Leon as equal, feeling much better.

But the fact that she looked into their differences already said a lot, which the vampiress missed.

She slightly parted her lips and replied weakly, looking at Leon with her head low and eyes up, "You two had been sleeping so nicely. I couldn't separate you."

At that moment, she appeared so honest and adorable that Leon didn't even think of his next words. "I'll embrace you tonight, too."

"You'll suffer." Celes faintly curved her lips up and straightened her back.

Realizing what he'd offered, Leon recalled Celes' sleeping behaviors. "Well, you might find peace while lying on my chest."

"That… I don't know." Celes shyly looked away despite knowing that it probably would be the case.

Even now, as Leon brought out their daily routine after calmly speaking about her selfish actions, Celes had utterly forgotten about Her Highness' ceremonies and laws. The vampiress even forgot about her disrespect toward her, only having her mind and heart filled with Leon's worry and words.

That guy's smile somehow etched warmth within her.

Witnessing that rare shyness, Leon clenched his hand as he inwardly stifled the desire to say more and even act upon his feelings. Now that Athena was gone and he'd accepted her loss, Leon understood the inevitable fate of those men surrounded by beautiful girls, including himself.

Perhaps, if he were to stick to his former world's principles, he'd be able to keep those thoughts away. However, it was no longer possible. Even more after Louise's speech that had pushed Leon away from the village.

Leon fished out a card to change the topic, and to not go over any boundaries, for acting rashly and with just feelings of momentum, without thinking about the future, could only end with mistakes and disappointments.

"I don't have that man's consciousness, so we can't ask questions. But he'll be our card to bring the dwarf here." Leon revealed the card and showed its stats to the vampiress.

Her eyes rippled with shock upon seeing them, as her current stats were way better.

It wasn't like the vampires were weaker than black asura.

But her stats excelled her recent enemy by such a large margin that the vampiress locked her shining eyes on Leon, seemingly wanting to suck in his handsome face.

Then, Celes revealed her blunder. "Because… of the strong impression Her Highness has left on me, I made a mistake and threatened Master's fortress security."
