Chapter 875: Moving Out
-----
Breakfast ended and everyone scattered away. My parents decided to go tend on the crops for the moment, while my siblings played on the backyard with their Familiars and the Spirits.
Meanwhile, I was left to think about a few things as I admired the beautiful visage of the village and the surrounding forest.
Seeing everyone so happy, I don't know if I should even offer them the possibility of becoming Vampires.
Even if it could bring a lot of strength, it might also change things, they would stop aging, and maybe that's not what they truly wanted.
I've seen many people in this world already that have lived their lives fulfilled, and just wanted to pass away peacefully.
Becoming ageless might not be the true aim of most people in this world, I suppose I've been slightly wrong about a few things myself.
And seeing how charismatic and prideful my friends are, I doubt they would want to rely on even more of my power and help either.
And the "becoming ageless" thing might be considered more of a curse than a pro to most people, including Erika and Elizabeth, whom I discussed this.
"So you've awakened such a power..." Elizabeth sighed. "It does feels like it is very strong but... becoming ageless, and also risking the possibility of dulling their emotions and gaining a body that might not be able to generate warmth by itself? It seems quite like a cursed existence, don't you think?"
"Cursed?" I wondered.
I never knew any better about my previous life, I was born a Vampire, so I was never given the option to live a fulfilling life like I was doing now.
"Yeah, don't you see? To be negated of the core things that make us who we are, mortals, humans." Elizabeth said. "To age, to feel the passage of time, to feel and experience all kinds of emotions, and to feel the warmth of our bodies, our energy, our love... It might seem like nothing to some people that are only focused on gaining strength but... To me, it feels like a cursed existence."
"Is... that so..." I remained in silence after hearing those words.
"T-That's a bit too much but I guess I can't judge you." She giggled a bit. "I always knew you're quite a merciless person when it comes to evil people and demons."
"Hmm, I don't know much myself about this stuff, but I think we're good! I doubt any of our friends would ever want that power though." Said Erika. "But as you said, you can use it on others!"
"Maybe we could use it on those Demon Lords, they're pretty strong, right?" Elizabeth asked. "We could ensure their loyalty with that power and recruit them to our side, so they tell us all the intel."
"Not a bad idea at all." I smiled. "You're more scheming than I originally thought, dear Elizabeth."
"Hehe, of course." She smiled. "My father taught me that a foolish Saintess will only get herself killed... I have to be as scheming as those that would try to take advantage of me."
I do know she's quite cunning sometimes, and very smart, but she surprised me yet again with those words.
"This conversation is becoming slightly wicked now." Eleanora giggled a bit. "But weren't we going to hunt some monsters in the grasslands to help your siblings level up?"
"And their familiars." I nodded. "Yes, I suppose we should get going."
We moved out of the house as I quickly called the two rascals, telling my mother we were going for a short monster hunting session.
"Oh, you're going already? Make sure to come back in time for lunch, okay?" My mother said.
"I'll accompany you guys another day!" My dad waved his hand.
"Sure, don't worry about it."
We said our goodbyes as we moved to the grasslands with my two, overly excited siblings.
