Can I Kill You?
Part 17 - Magical Newspaper

Calvin decided to return to his home after saying goodbye to me in a dramatic way. Georgia, hm, she's a pretty shitty girl so I don't think too much about it. Ella herself didn't tell me where she was going, and I didn't really care either. And Kate, she decided to stay in the castle.

Even at night, there was no noisy party like the one that happened the night before.

I asked Betty about the vampire extermination case. He himself also raised his hand about the matter. Rumor is, there are no injuries on the body part of the culprit, but victims with the same cause of death continue to fall... But this is not a disease! Because the evidence is that all victims do not have the same disease link!

For 16 years, I used to live throwing knives instead of being a detective. And in order to achieve my goal, I must find a criminal that vampires themselves cannot catch. It's, after all, not a requirement, it's called torture.

A new day arrived unexpectedly. The sun has become a new curse to me, it seems like I'm already half a vampire. Because every morning, there is no breakfast like yesterday.

Maybe breakfast is indeed a very sacred thing for all of them.

The morning began with a breakfast brought by Betty, a bowl of meat soup and a glass of cow's milk. It tastes better than I expected. I swallowed it without a remnant, and it seemed to make Betty happy.

"It's good that voracious lady can eat" he chirped as he took my empty bowl and bottle. I scrunched my forehead. He seems to be happy to see me upset. "Eat a lot, yes, miss. To be able to act cool perfectly in case there is another meeting."

Since yesterday's incident, everyone thought I was a foodie, so my new call is 'voracious daughter' or 'voracious lady' and you know: I don't like this nickname at all!

"Oh, yes" said Betty, now as she stood against the big broom. "How are you preparing for school?"

I'm glaring. My position on the front sofa indicates I am ready to sleep. As a result, I had to get up again to respond, "Can't you, anyway, you didn't remind me of that?"

"Vampire school, miss! Vampire school! I've always dreamed of going to that school!" jubilant. "Said, there's a lot of good-looking kids that go to school there! Well, it feels like all my dreams have come true if it could be a year to be a student there..."

Betty closed her eyes while singing. I can only look at him flat.

Not that I didn't hear the words that the vampire school was a dream school. It's just, I got in there because of these requirements... And to be honest, now a sense of regret creeps in my heart, because in the depths of my heart, I feel incapable.

"And which vampire school will you go to?"

"Rafonia School-"

"That famous Rafonia Academy?" cut Betty hysterically, "Well, whoa! The handsome guys! Ah, what is there can also be juxtaposed with the prince of the kingdom "

This time I'm sure his sanity limit is gone. Whatever. I went back to picking up the bulletin at the dinner table, reading the news that might help me find the latest news.

And it took me five minutes to realize that there was absolutely nothing I could read.

...----------------...

"You need my help?"

An incredible coincidence occurred as I walked out of the room. My eyes caught the footsteps of the short white haired girl who was no stranger in my eyes. It's not wrong that's Kate. And of all the people, my gut tells me that only he can help me.

"Can you read this newspaper? Help me!" door weld. "I don't know who else to ask!"

Kate was silent for five minutes, weighing and throwing right and left views. "Why didn't you ask Mika for help?"

"... He hasn't healed you?" The same question I heard yesterday again, as if Ella was a kind doctor who healed many people. "What about Calvin?"

"An even crazier choice" I commented, shaking the newspaper in dismay. "She'll definitely offer me to marry her or something, no, Kate! I don't want to marry the-"

Kate raised her eyebrows, I quickly corrected. "I mean, I've had enough of this problem. I don't want any other problems!"

"Hm, but choose me out of all those people... What a weird choice." After weighing again, finally the word 'okay' came out of his mouth. I rejoiced and hugged her subconsciously, and Kate did not reject my embrace at all.

He took me to the library in the castle. The library is not much different from the one I have in the castle of the Emerald Kingdom. Unfortunately, I am not a girl who likes to read. So, I don't understand what the difference and value of each book is.

There were not many people present in the library except vampires in special uniforms. I looked at them carefully, just in case one of them floated up and bit my neck.

"Your imagination is too wild, you know?" Kate suddenly spoke after sitting down. I pulled out a chair and replied, "What imagination?"

Kate looked at me who was putting down the newspaper while sighing. "You're imagining vampires biting you all of a sudden or something, aren't you?"

"Why do you know?"

"Everyone also knows that you're wailing so." he said, confirming the position of his chair. "Let's give me your paper, let me see."

With great concentration, he read the paper carefully. I've never seen anyone read a newspaper so concentrated. Does the newspaper of the vampire world have to be read that hard?

"Well, this, anyway... Look." Kate pulled out my hand to put it on top of the paper. "This writing is not just writing. Maybe you'll learn it at school, too. You must use magic to read it."

I understand his speech and do his orders. After that, Kate immediately said incantations I had never heard of.

A huge fog appeared after Kate's lips no longer spoke incantations. Between us, dark clouds formed and engulfed all the daylight in the room. I could feel the wind passing through each strand of my hair, making me have to hold my head tightly so that the wind that formed the mini tornado did not take a sip of my hair.

"What'sthis? A vampire magic?" I cried with a maximized voice, Kate followed. "That kind! This way you can read what's on the paper you're reading!"

After a few minutes, a rumbling sound appeared The clouds continued to give a small flash to the newspaper I was carrying, and a light like a giant star appeared. I squinted my eyes.

When I opened my eyes, the magical state disappeared, leaving behind a newspaper that seemed to have been bewitched. I took the sheet, and sure enough, I could read it.

"Nowoooh!" I scream like a madman. Another vampire turned her head towards me and Kate immediately closed my mouth while whispering, "We're in the library!"

I lowered my voice and lowered my head, "Oh, you're right. By the way, thanks. I can read it."

"Together."

Whether this is just my feeling, Kate's curved lips feel as warm as the sun. And my feelings say:

That smile, too handsome for a female smile.
