Chapter 3: Can’t Blame Her for Being Chuunibyou
On the surface, she was a maid serving a noble vampire, but secretly, she was working towards the liberation of humanity.
Jasmine had started contemplating what she should do since she was ten years old. Having inexplicably transmigrated to this world and possessing such a powerful cheat ability, wouldn’t it be a tragedy to live for over a hundred years and then die without accomplishing anything significant? So, Jasmine thought about what she could do to leave her mark on history.
Initially, she became a hunter. During the night, she diligently served the vampire eldest miss, and during the day, when everyone was resting, she would sneak out and eliminate any non-humans who were harming or bullying weak humans. Because she had dealt with so many non-humans, she had figured out their weaknesses and realized that with the right methods, even ordinary humans could fight back.
Therefore, she gathered the people she had saved and taught them how to deal with non-humans. Logically, she could choose to leave the castle and live with the humans. However, the problem was… the humans lacked money, food, and anything delicious. The castle, on the other hand, had abundant resources, providing plenty of meat, eggs, and milk. She couldn’t bear the hardships of living outdoors and preferred to enjoy the super tender steaks prepared by professional chefs in the castle.
Moreover, staying in the castle allowed her to occasionally sneak into the master’s study and gather information about the movements of various non-human factions, enabling her to warn the humans she had sheltered to avoid multiple ambushes.
Unknowingly, Jasmine had made significant contributions to the cause of human liberation.
She even gained a considerable reputation among humans, who affectionately referred to her as Lady Dawn.
The nickname was quite good, but please don’t come up with any more.
Jasmine had initially thought that with Adele attending school and no one clinging to her all day long, she would have more time to dedicate to her grand undertaking of liberating humanity. However, she didn’t expect Adele to be one step ahead, bringing her along to school.
She knew that this vampire was still scheming to suck her delicious blood and couldn’t bear to let her go.
Sitting in the old car, feeling the bumps along the way, with Adele drowsily resting her head on her shoulder and the driver curiously observing her through the rearview mirror, Jasmine maintained an expressionless face while inwardly cringing. The technological development in this world was strange. Perhaps due to the prevalence of supernatural powers, technology had advanced in peculiar ways. Cars were still old-fashioned, but there were also things like airships, which sounded quite advanced.
After transferring from the old car to an airship and arriving at the school, Jasmine fell into an even deeper silence. She didn’t understand Adele’s purpose in bringing her to school. Perhaps it was to see her being targeted and killed by the low-level vampire maids.
Naturally, Adele resided in a luxurious suite, while Jasmine could only stay in the servants’ quarters. Even the servants’ quarters were quite decent, at least providing her with her own small suite instead of sharing a room with others in the castle. She also didn’t have to wash the clothes of everyone in the castle, only Adele’s.
However, the problem was that other nobles brought low-level vampire maids or attendants, with only a few bringing humans. This led to the low-level vampires looking down on Jasmine. On the first night at school, Jasmine’s door was blocked.
The leader seemed to be the maid of Adele’s classmate. She sneered, her eyes filled with bloodlust as she looked at Jasmine. Jasmine understood; she wanted to drink her blood.
But this low-level maid didn’t seem like a good person, and she wasn’t Jasmine’s employer. Even Adele couldn’t drink her blood, so how could Jasmine possibly let her succeed?
So, when the maid said, “Human, if you’re smart, you’ll obediently offer your neck and let me feast on your blood. Oh, and remember not to tell your little mistress, or you’ll be bullied even more,” Jasmine sighed.
As the maid thought she had succeeded and approached Jasmine, Jasmine swiftly grabbed her arm and pinned her to the ground. Jasmine’s movements were so fast that no one noticed how she had moved. By the time they reacted, the maid was already completely restrained.
Jasmine’s knee pressed against the maid’s back, her hand gripping the maid’s arm and twisting it behind her. The maid was stunned for a moment before screaming, “Human! What are you doing?!”
“I’m just protecting myself. After all, there are so many of you. Even if you took turns sucking my blood, I would be drained dry. By the way, it’s not surprising that I subdued you. Although I’m a human, you’re just a low-level vampire, barely an adult and unskilled. For someone like me who diligently exercises, subduing you is quite simple.”
“The technique I used to subdue you is called women’s self-defense. It’s very effective, I suggest you learn it. If any other vampires try to bully you in the future, you can use this technique to subdue them.”
“No, are you crazy?!”
Amidst the maid’s pleas for mercy, Jasmine released her. They looked at Jasmine as if she were a monster, but still stubbornly declared, “You’ll regret this! We won’t let you get away with it!” before quickly fleeing the scene with their companions.
Weak and arrogant low-level vampires were truly annoying. Jasmine shook her hand, feeling speechless. She took her luggage to her room and organized it meticulously. There was also a small box that the school had given her upon arrival, saying that even maids had to wear uniforms.
Jasmine opened the box and found that the uniform provided by the school wasn’t much different from the maid uniform in the castle. It was still a maid uniform, with only slight differences in details and craftsmanship. After changing into the uniform, Jasmine started exploring the school. The school was quite thorough and had provided everyone with a map, detailing the areas where servants were allowed to go. There were also many areas that were off-limits to servants, such as the teaching areas, classroom rest areas, and so on.
The servants’ dining hall was also separate from the students’, but the food was quite good, as Jasmine discovered during mealtime.
The servants’ mealtime was typically after their masters had gone to class. When Jasmine arrived at the dining hall, she realized that she wasn’t the only human maid. Seeing Jasmine, the other human maids looked surprised and even somewhat delighted, but they quickly lowered their heads, their cautious demeanor suggesting that they had been bullied many times.
On her first day at school, Jasmine didn’t know if these human maids had been mentally enslaved like the head maid in the castle, so she didn’t approach them. She simply went to the counter to collect her lunch. The kitchen staff included both low-level vampires and humans, but the number of humans was small, and they all appeared timid.
In the vampire territory, Jasmine observed that humans generally fell into two categories: those who were timid and didn’t dare to stand out, and those who were arrogant and acted as if they were noble vampires themselves, even bullying others. Even if their opponents were low-level vampires, humans still had the power to fight back.
Jasmine chose a few dishes that suited her taste, carried her tray to an empty table, and quietly began to eat.
Her hearing was excellent, surpassing even that of werewolves. She could also filter out unwanted sounds and instantly capture useful information. Jasmine immediately noticed that at a table not far behind her, four low-level vampire maids were discussing something.
They deliberately lowered their voices, speaking about humans with disdain.
“Ugh, another human. I really hate humans. They always have a foul smell.”
Nonsense, if a human shed a single drop of blood, you’d be drooling with desire.
Jasmine scooped up a piece of potato with her spoon and put it in her mouth, inwardly complaining about the audacious maid.
Another vampire chimed in, “Yeah, but have you heard the recent news? In remote areas, some humans are calling themselves rebels, and they’ve even killed a few vampires.”
“How is that possible…” The maid who had expressed her dislike for humans earlier was shocked. “Mere humans, capable of killing noble vampires?”
“Well, it’s not entirely impossible to resist. Didn’t that human just pin a low-level vampire to the ground…”
“She seems to be the maid of the Blake family’s eldest miss. Unbelievable, why would the Blake family’s eldest miss bring a human? Has the Blake family fallen from grace?”
Jasmine continued eating, her mood quite pleasant, because the so-called human rebels were her doing. Although Jasmine was a transmigrator and didn’t feel a strong sense of belonging to this world’s natives, as a fellow human, she was unhappy to see them living in such misery.
Besides, helping weak humans overthrow their oppressors, igniting the flame of resistance in their hearts, and leaving her name in history – wasn’t that super cool?
Yes, Jasmine was somewhat chuunibyou. But she couldn’t be blamed. After all, before transmigrating, she was just an ordinary girl with a bit of fantasy. Now that she had actually transmigrated and possessed a cheat ability, in such a cruel and fantastical world, it would be a disservice to herself not to embrace her chuunibyou side.
Although her initial motivation was “because it’s cool,” Jasmine had genuinely helped many people and done many good deeds.
Jasmine couldn’t contain her pride. She picked up her tray and prepared to leave. However, before she could reach the dining hall entrance, she heard the familiar call, “Jasmine! Jasmine!”
Oh – damn it.
An exaggerated, theatrical voice echoed in Jasmine’s mind. Just from the sound, she knew it was her eldest miss, Adele, looking for her again. Jasmine was truly at a loss when it came to Adele. She keenly noticed the strange looks from other low-level vampires directed at Adele… In a sense, the eldest miss didn’t quite resemble a typical vampire.
At the very least, not a noble one.
