Myself in the mirror.

Long, upturned eyelashes, bright and lively wine-red pupils.

Slightly opening my mouth, I could faintly see a pair of pristine little fangs.

This was an exquisite face so adorable it made people want to pinch it.

And perfectly matching this face was a cascade of dazzling silver hair.

Looking carefully, my body had already become quite petite.

That’s right, this was Charles, who had been in this state for three days now.

Pinching his own soft, squishy cheeks, he no longer even had the energy to sigh.

His full name was Luo Charles.

Three days ago, he had been an ordinary hunter among ordinary humans in the Demon Hunter Association. Note: an ordinary male.

Taking a monthly salary of fifty thousand, working high-intensity twenty-hour days, dealing with outbreaks of foreign races or outlaws that could occur at any moment.

Because of his exceptional skills, he had once, during an ordinary world-ending disaster, ordinarily beheaded the ordinary world-ending disaster, the Cherub Kirupah. In one stroke, he became the only legendary hunter of the current era, and people respectfully addressed him as Chief.

Even werewolves, vampires, dragons, and other foreign races began to fear him and gradually fell silent.

Honestly, if not for the sudden accident, he felt it was about time to train some outstanding hunters and peacefully live out the rest of his life.

He had entered the Demon Hunter Association at age five, underwent two years of hellish training during which he displayed unprecedented combat talent, and at seven became the youngest hunter ever, breaking all precedents.

From age seven until now, wandering the world and protecting human cities for nineteen years.

Four days ago, he suddenly received approval for accumulated leave, permitted to take two days off.

He was happy all night, planning to travel to another city or something.

But unexpectedly, just after leaving the city, he received an emergency mission requiring him to board a special train to another city to snipe a vampire duke.

Even more unexpected was that the moment the train entered the target city, it was subjected to a joint suicide attack by vampires and dragons!

You must know that vampires and dragons had historically been at odds with each other, so no one expected them to band together now.

Over twenty thousand vampires, more than a dozen giant dragons, one dragon king, and the Blood Princess bearing the title of strongest in history…

This was top-tier combat power sufficient to sweep through most countries!

They had formed an alliance, came prepared, set up an ambush, blocked distress signals, and attacked with a suicidal frenzy that turned the entire city into ruins during the battle.

Although he ultimately annihilated all enemies, he was exhausted to the brink of death and fell into a coma…

When he woke up, he found herself in an unfamiliar room, with a Blood Princess who had returned from the dead beside him.

And what made him furious was—

The Blood Princess had a face full of mockery at the time, calling him “small fry Charles,” the weak little hunter.

Charles immediately wanted to pull out his gun and blow her head off! But he discovered he had become a loli, his punches felt like massages, his curses sounded like acting cute.

You must know, the Blood Princess could lift a steamroller with one hand!

How could he even fight?

He was completely at her mercy!

He almost said humiliating words like “Guh, kill me.”

Following the principle of taking small losses for big gains, Charles endured it.

But this grudge must be avenged.

Now, she1 roughly understood her situation and clearly recognized her powerlessness, but she wasn’t without options.

As long as she could escape from here and return to the Demon Hunter Association to obtain hunter weapons, she would have a chance to fight again.

And this time, she would absolutely not let the Blood Princess revive again.

This filled Charles’s heart with determination!

Bang!

Just then, the door was forcefully pushed open, and a black-haired loli suddenly appeared in the doorway.

When she saw Charles in front of the full-length mirror, she spread her arms wide, her eyes curved like crescent moons, wearing a bright smile as she flew over!

“Cha~rles~~~”

Her face rubbed frantically against hers, like a big golden retriever.

“You didn’t see me yesterday, did you feel very lonely, alone, afraid? What a small fry~ Since you’re such a small fry, today I’ll reluctantly stay by your side!”

“Sophie Tenorvaid!”

Charles grabbed her shoulders with both hands, mustering all her strength, pushing with all her might,

“Let go of me, you despicable and shameless faker! For someone who’s the head of the Tenorvaid family, do you dare fight me fairly?”

“So that’s what you wanted to say.”

The black-haired loli made cat paw gestures with both hands, lowered her waist, and stretched with a big yawn.

That head of beautiful, smooth black hair spread out, falling from her smooth shoulders and back.

Her pupils were blood red, the corners of her eyes glistening with tears, her eye shape bewitchingly alluring, her nose high and straight, lips slightly thin, elf ears but more rounded and short.

Cute!

Super cute!

Clearly her appearance was so cute, such a heavenly angel!

But the things she did and the words she said made Charles so angry and irritated!

“The battle between us is already over. I won.”

“That’s not true at all! Stop talking nonsense!”

“Really? I wonder who had that look of utter despair, mouth saying ‘it’s all over, everything’s finished.'”

“You’re, you’re just making things up!”

“Whether I’m making it up or not, Charles knows best in her heart, doesn’t she?”

Sophie leaned in slightly closer, and a pleasant jasmine fragrance hit her face,

“Charles, if you call me Lady Sophie, perhaps I won’t do anything?”

“Give up on that idea!” Charles said coldly.

This person, before attacking her, had obtained the legendary [Elixir of Immortality] from an alchemist.

That was a fictitious object with value almost equivalent to the Philosopher’s Stone, considered nonexistent and impossible.

But unexpectedly it was really concocted, and she got her hands on it!

With the Elixir of Immortality as a safety net, she attacked the human city, and through one death and revival, even bit her, turning her into a vampire.

So strictly speaking, she was a thrall of the Blood Princess.

An existence that could be toyed with at will.

It’s just that the Blood Princess seemed to have no intention of controlling her at all, which was quite puzzling.

Going through all that trouble to capture her, not keeping her to extract intelligence or turn her, and even providing good food, drink, and lodging… What kind of innovative brainwashing process was this?

However, Charles wasn’t stupid enough to casually trust a vampire enemy who had captured her, much less call her “Lady”!

“Then how about this.”

Seeing this, Sophie’s lips curved slightly upward, “I’ll allow Charles to call me by my name. Say it quickly, or I’ll keep hugging you like this until tomorrow.”

“Guh, how can there be someone as shameless as you!”

The corner of Charles’s eye twitched violently.

This grudge, I’m noting it down!

“Blood Princess… satisfied now!” Charles was practically grinding her teeth, the words seeming to burst out from between them.

“That’s not a name though.”

“…Tenorvaid.”

“Can idiot Charles not even distinguish between a family name and a given name? Or is it that you want to deliberately anger me and be held by me until dawn?”

“Heh, then go ahead and hug me, I’m not the one losing out anyway.”
