Alicia Just Wants to Live Relaxedly As a Human Being

Library 3

“What book are you reading, Alicia?”

After I chose the reading book and sat at the same table as Aki and Karin, to read it in silence. Karin broke the silence after a while.

“Oh, this.......Explain the principle of an aircraft.”

I told her while lifting up the book I was holding to show her the front cover.

“Heeee, that's something pretty...heavy, isn't it?”

“No, I was just curious how they were made.” I was curious, especially the details that made him fly.

It turns out that it is very simple, just fiddling with it in such a way that the lifting force can exceed or equal the force of gravitational pull.

Just utilizing the force exerted by the air flowing through its wings due to the pressure difference, it can provide lift. And by increasing the speed, can add to the great style.

“Alicia, you read something like that, and you instead said you didn't need school a while ago.” Aki who heard the conversation joined in, raised her head from the book and looked at me.

“Eh! You're not in school, Alicia?” Karin even seemed to be surprised by this confession.

“Well, because I feel no need. If I wanted to find out some things. I just came to the library looking for him.”

“But, isn't school mandatory.”

Is school compulsory? If Karin said that, it might be true. But even though it was said to be mandatory though, I still had a lot of trouble by my side, you know.

I really wanted to get that sentence out, but luckily I managed to hold it.

“Say more, Karin. He seems very stubborn. So can you lecture him firmly?” Aki now completely got into mother mode, like telling her husband to scold her naughty son.

“How did your parents think. Do your parents know.”

“No problem with my parents. I just want to live free.” I answered Karin's question straightforwardly.

“I'm still curious how your parents let their daughter roam free and live in that old house rather than in a city or places worth at least, despite having a lot of money on hand.”

Well, I really never told Aki about my family's condition, especially Karin. It is only natural that they are curious.

“For now I will not comment anything. Sorry, please don't talk to me again.”

"really. It's not good to dive too deep into other people's problems."

Hasebe-san who had appeared out of nowhere came to my defence, while continuing his steps to the nearby bookcase.

"......."

"......."

“I, that's right...I'm sorry, Alicia.”.

“I also.”

“No need to think about.”

It seems like they are already aware that this is going to be a topic that is felt to be a sensitive topic for me. They give up on returning to their books.

....

After maybe the time has passed an hour. Karin closed the book.

“It looks like it's time for me to go home, it's already half six. My sister must have gone home.”

“Is that?”

“Ah, Karin did say she had to go home to look after her sister, right?” I remember a little.

“Iya, Alicia. Sorry for the short time. But I'm glad I learned with you. See you tomorrow.”

“It's okay. It's good to be with you too. See you.”

All the greetings I did, even though I didn't know what it meant to me to say anyway. Because this is how humans work.

For at least.

“OK. I'll go first, Aki. Bye-Bye.”

“Okay, Karin-chan is also careful on the road.”

That way, Karin went out, leaving us both here.

“Do we also have to go home?”

Alicia made me an offer. Close the book and put it in the bag.

It's true we've spent two hours here. The other kids are gone too, so it's very quiet here.

But the problem is I haven't finished reading.

“If you want to read on. You can just borrow it to take home.”

Interesting offers. It seems Aki can see right through me. Or is it clearly on my face?

Forget it, right now the phrase is very important.

“Can I?” I asked to make sure.

“Maybe?”

“Hmm, why hesitate?”

“Well, I never borrowed a book. Just hear from people that you can borrow books in the library. Try me asking Hasebe.”

....

I got up and followed Aki towards where Hasebe was sitting.

“If you want to borrow, you can use the student card if you are a student. If an outsider can use any identity card. But only special people who live in this region.”

“So, he said, Alicia. You can borrow it with just an identity card.”

Pimply.

Identity card?

Is it like a card that shows who you are?

I don't have things like that.

I have no choice but to give up now.

“No need. I'll just come here every afternoon to continue reading.”

“Is that?” Aki seemed to be confused by my enthusiastic change earlier.

“Ah, keep in mind. The library is closed if the school is off. So sorry, can't visit.” Hasebe-san, added.

“It's okay.”

How else, if that's how I'll follow the rules.

But, rules?

Vampires have no rules.

So, is it okay if I sneak in?

No. gabe.

I was determined to live my life like a human being.

But sometimes it doesn't matter, does it?

Anyway I didn't ruin.

Just read it.

Okay, just this once, I'm gonna act like a regular vampire.

Lighting problems also have a solution.

My eye. I mean vampire eyes are special eyes that can see in the dark. We dark races, vampires and demons have eyes that can see in the dark, because we are also the essence of darkness. So living in darkness is the ordinary life of the dark race.

After all, there are no high-level magicians now, right?

Even if there is, what is its name?

Emm, uh. Magical Girl, right.

Although there is a Magical Girl. They were only magicians whose highest level was only the middle level. If there is a higher level, it must be the boss.

Seeing the existence of magic equipment that applied high-level magic. He must be just a high-level wizard.

Although there are high-level magicians. I don't feel it from here. So it must be a long way away. And I don't have to worry about getting caught here.

Tracking my location isn't easy. Because to be able to see me who is in disappearing mode, it takes a magic eye whose specifications are very high. And I've only had one person so far. Even though he's alive. I don't feel the air of its existence in this region.

So if besides him, the person who can see me will definitely welcome me warmly.

But I don't seem to have to worry about that.

Fufu. This is an age of peace. The era where there was no advanced magic knowledge, the existence of pure dark races disappeared, now there were only mixed races as far as I felt.

So it would be very safe for me to go out for a walk at night. I haven't been out all night long, have I.

“Alicia, Alicia? A-li-ci-a!!!”

HYAA

Something that touched my shoulder suddenly surprised me.

“Alicia?”

“Y-ya?”

“You were called from earlier did not answer.”

Oops, I almost took out an automatic defense.

I was too late in my mind. To forget around. If Aki who touched me was exposed to my magic due to the automatic defense activated, she could become dust.

Even if I can cure it, it will still cause panic.

“I'm sorry. I have too many thoughts.”

“It's okay. Is there a problem. You made a weird face back then.”

“It's okay. That's not something you need to worry about.”

“...Is that so?” Aki still showed her worried face.

“From that, let's go home soon. I'm a little hungry.”

By the time we left school, the number of students had dropped dramatically. Some are still there, doing strange things.

“What are they doing there? Why aren't they on the way home?”

“Ah, they're having club activity.”

“Klub?”

“Etto, the club is an activity that students usually follow after school. There are many clubs, each one is from sports, art, music, and others.”

“Then what activity is it?”

What I saw were some children who were seen doing some hitting moves with sticks whose ends were even rounded.

“That, it's called tennis court. Does Alicia not know that?”

His face showed that it was an activity that everyone must have recognized. It's so weird for me not to know that.

“Y, because I never saw her? Because I rarely go to the outside world.”

“Is it weird to see people not knowing tennis......Could it be that Alicia had actually run away from home for that reason. I seem to be able to understand the meaning behind your wish to live freely.......Okay,....Take it easy Alicia, this Aki will support you, so that you can live life as you wish.”

This is going to be a new misunderstanding. But let.

“Te, thank you.”

With that awkwardness, we stepped out the gate and went home.

By the way, it's going to be too long, isn't it?

The distance from school to home can be almost two kilometers. It will be a long time to walk.

I want to use teleportation. But it will deviate from the path of my life.

“Hei, Aki. Is there no other way to get home faster.”

There must be such a means of transportation. Because here also has a way to go.

“Yes, too. Karin and I are used to walking. But if you go to your house, it can increase twice. I'm fine myself. But it doesn't seem to be for, Alicia,ya.”

Come to think of it, Aki is always walking to my house. I felt a little bad for him to keep walking, back and forth to the house.

He's a really hardworking kid.

“Actually there is a school bus. But still have to wait another half hour until the bus arrives at the front stop.”

I see, yes. If you think about it, a paved road like this doesn't make it to that house. So after arriving at Aki's house. We will continue on foot. Which may be the same trip time if you have to wait for the bus to come in half an hour.

How else.

“Hahs. Walking is okay.”

I have to be patient walking. He said patience is the way to grow success.

So anyway, I should be able to walk up to the house. Just like when leaving with great enthusiasm.

After all, later also get used to it and vampires do not know tired. Just a feeling of laziness.

True, as he says, patience is the way to grow success.

So little by little I made it home.

It's only natural that I don't feel tired, other than mentally tired.

But Aki, as a human, is really great. He showed no fatigue at all.

“Then, I'll make dinner. Please Alicia-san take a shower first.”

“Oke.”

It is a routine to shower now. It was a common thing for me and humans to take a bath. Even though we, the dark races are not necessary either. It's just that a warm bath can provide pleasure to the body.

Previously I only took a shower when I felt like taking a bath, now it becomes twice a day due to Aki's worries. No problem, I enjoy it too.

The usual activity continued until Aki finished working. He also seems to be making food for his father here.

So just get wrapped up and take it home.

I watched Aki figure leave as the sky was already fully reddened, walking beside the burly figure, who was allegedly her father.

I've been forgetting a little lately that Aki is a cowardly kid. So it was only natural that he would come home with his father. I guess they'll keep coming home together.

"Hm. It's beautiful, isn't it? Their familiarity always made me feel envious."

"Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Never mind, rather than thinking of such a fool, it's better to go back to the plan."

YAP

Then after the two figures disappeared in the back of the forest. I closed the door, closed the window, and turned off the lights.

Wearing a black dress as usual. I went to the roof. Sitting on the edge of the chimney. Watching the sun disappear, while waiting for a silent night.

Until a full moon appeared, indicating the time had come.

Now, it was time for the feast, celebrating the return of the ruler, the ruler of the night that was his name.

No, I mean go back to the library, continue reading it.
