31. This Vampire Isn’t Scary At All
“They’re really… gone. So flat, and soft…” Ruo Tianxin said, stunned, confirming the transformation was complete. Her brother truly had become a girl.
Ruo Xiaoxi’s face turned crimson, and she practically jumped off the sofa, covering herself with her hands. She felt strangely violated by her sister’s matter-of-fact assessment.
“Amazing… I have a new older sister, and my brother is gone!”
“Yep, gone!”
Ruo Tianxin studied Ruo Xiaoxi anew, taking her hand and gently squeezing her delicate fingers, looking down at her fair, slender legs, then poking her cheek.
Ruo Xiaoxi immediately poked her back.
“…” Ruo Tianxin looked at her, then poked her cheek again. Ruo Xiaoxi retaliated instantly. Ruo Tianxin poked her again, even faster.
Suddenly, a strange poking war ensued, their cheeks turning red.
“Bro, don’t push it! I can beat you up now! We’ll see who’s stronger!” Ruo Tianxin put her hands on her hips, glaring at Ruo Xiaoxi.
Before, her brother could easily pin down both her hands with one of his. Now, he was so small, their height and build almost the same. Perhaps a fight was in order to re-establish the hierarchy.
Although she was reluctant to admit it… her brother was kind of cute as a girl…
“Bro, you seem to have adapted to being a girl quite well. Your voice is so soft and cute, you’re even wearing thigh-high stockings. Aren’t you embarrassed to wear girls’ clothes anymore? Pervert!”
“What else am I supposed to wear now that I’m a girl!? And it’s been a while since I transformed. I was really embarrassed to go out at first! I was so self-conscious, but then…”
“Then?”
“…I realized I was cute, and I wanted to dress up even more.” Ruo Xiaoxi tucked her hands between her legs, fidgeting shyly.
Whoa! Ruo Tianxin felt a sudden jolt.
Help, even though I know this girl is my brother, seeing her acting all shy and embarrassed is so cute! I just want to hug her!
No, Ruo Tianxin, calm down, this is your brother! He used to be a boy!
Don’t be fooled by appearances!
“Wait, you even filled in your eyebrows!” Ruo Tianxin, being a girl herself, noticed the subtle makeup.
Ruo Xiaoxi’s eyes widened, startled by her sister’s surprised reaction.
She had only lightly filled in her brows, using a subtle color and brush, yet her sister had noticed.
“Wh-what? Is there something wrong with that!? I’m a girl now!” Ruo Xiaoxi argued.
“No, it’s fine… of course it’s fine.” Ruo Tianxin’s expression shifted from surprise to something… knowing, a hint of amusement in her eyes, her lips curving into a smile. “Hee hee.”
“W-what are you laughing at!? Just say it!”
“Nothing, nothing, just… I understand~”
“Understand what? Just tell me what you’re thinking!”
“Really, nothing~ What kind of opinions could a naive little sister have~?”
Ruo Tianxin’s teasing tone made Ruo Xiaoxi blush furiously. Being a girl by herself wasn’t a big deal; she just treated herself as one.
But being questioned by her sister like that, with that knowing look…
Suddenly, she was overwhelmed with embarrassment!
“So, you’re a legendary little vampire now? Sounds scary, but you look so cute. How are you supposed to scare anyone? Kill them with cuteness?”
“Why would I… scare people!? Do I get candy or something if I scare them? Hmph, I have my own ways of making a living.”
“But you look just like a normal person.”
“That’s because I’m hiding it. Want to see? But don’t be scared.” Ruo Xiaoxi stood up, as if preparing for a transformation.
Ruo Tianxin felt a flicker of fear. What if she suddenly turns into a huge vampire? Like a vampire count in a black cape…
Crimson eyes rising like a blood moon, the aura of a supernatural being, like dark, coiling vines, reaching out to seize her with the fear of the unknown…
She clutched her shirt, wanting to scream but unable to make a sound.
“Ha!” With a soft grunt and a poof, a pair of small wings appeared behind Ruo Xiaoxi.
“Whoa!” Ruo Tianxin yelped, bracing herself to be scared. But… she paused, then looked closer. They were just small, black wings.
Nothing dramatic happened, just a pair of wings appearing as if by magic.
They looked underdeveloped, not scary at all!
The wave of fear that had been about to engulf her receded completely. Ruo Tianxin looked at Ruo Xiaoxi, who was striking a dramatic pose, with an expression of utter bewilderment.
That’s it? That’s all you’ve got, a pair of tiny wings?
She had been expecting something terrifying, a pair of massive black wings blotting out the sun, staining the sky crimson. It turned out she had been scaring herself.
“Eh? Aren’t they amazing?” Ruo Xiaoxi, noticing her sister’s expression, shifted her weight, flapping her little wings, trying to make them seem more impressive.
“Your wings… they’re so small, and they’re on your lower back. How should I put this…” Ruo Tianxin searched for the right word, then blurted out, “Cute.”
“C-cute…? Don’t they look menacing? I’m a vampire, a vampire.”
“Nope, little vampire, you’re not scary at all. Vampires drink blood, right? Going out at night to hunt for prey? With that cute look, you’ll be captured as a pet before you even find any prey.”
“Aaaaaah, you’re insulting me!” Ruo Xiaoxi considered herself a vampire, fantasizing about becoming all-powerful and saving the world.
She hadn’t expected to be mocked by her own sister!
Ruo Xiaoxi lunged at her sister, wanting to show her the power of a vampire’s fist.
But her arm was just a bit too short. Ruo Tianxin easily blocked her with one hand, letting the little vampire loli flail uselessly.
Her punches didn’t connect, but her little wings flapped angrily behind her.
Ruo Tianxin couldn’t stop the corners of her mouth from twitching upwards, her eyes filled with amusement and disdain. This vampire is so weak, even a steamroller would have a hard time.
After a moment of contemplation, struggling to contain her laughter, Ruo Tianxin uttered two words, with elegant composure and a hint of mockery, “That’s it?”
