Chapter 152 Himuro Yukiko ㉗
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Leonardo emerged from the King’s bedchamber, his face a mask of hollow exhaustion. It was only natural; he had just presided over the death of his own father-even if his own hands weren’t the ones that did the deed.
”…Sieben, huh. Your little scheme… it worked,” Leonardo said.
”You look like hell for someone whose plan just came together,” Sieben teased.
”Of course I do. Who the hell actually enjoys killing their own father?”
”True, true. Well… want me to comfort you? I could use this body,” Sieben said with a mischievous giggle.
”Stop it. You’re making me sick,” Leonardo snapped.
”Ouch, how cold! I’m a total babe right now. Come on, don’t I look the part?”
Sieben gave a playful twirl in the maid uniform, letting the skirt flare out. The current ‘Sieben’ was a girl. To be precise, he had taken the form of Kodama Satomi.
”I still can’t wrap my head around it… You’re really Sieben?” Leonardo asked, staring. “If you hadn’t told me-hell, even knowing it’s you-I can’t see it. You look like a girl, through and through.”
”I’m telling you, I am a 100% genuine girl right now. Want to check for yourself?”
Sieben began to slowly hike up the hem of the skirt.
”Stop. Have some damn dignity,” Leonardo muttered.
”Your loss,” Sieben replied, letting go of the fabric just as it reached the edge of the girl’s underwear.
Even though Sieben had used Mimicry¹ to become her, there was no sense of dissonance. Perhaps it was because while his essence was Sasaki Natsumi, his body and heart had fully synced with Satomi. He used to hate being Natsumi, but now… the lines were blurring.
”Still… I feel a bit bad for these two,” Leonardo said, glancing at the door.
Two corpses of the Royal Guard lay slumped before the entrance.
”Oh, don’t worry about them. Good work, guys. You can drop the act now,” Sieben called out.
A shapeless mass began to ooze out from beneath the suits of armor. It wasn’t quite a slime-it wasn’t translucent or jelly-like. It looked more like a pulsating heap of raw, viscous meat. It was revolting. They were Mimics, monsters specialized in transformation that Sieben had pulled from Summoning Magic. Since there was no formal contract, they only followed a single order before expiring. The Mimics dissolved into nothingness.
”Anyway… aren’t you going to go after the others? The ‘Heroes’?” Sieben asked.
”…Yeah. Even if it was a setup, they’re still the ones who struck the killing blow,” Leonardo replied, his voice hardening as he hurried away.
Sieben couldn’t bring himself to tell Leonardo the truth. The current King had actually assassinated the previous King-Leonardo’s own grandfather. Sieben had tasked Mihiro with looking into it. Apparently, the previous King was a reformist who wanted to transition Wrathfiria into a republic. Whether out of pure spite or raw ambition, the current King had poisoned him, framed a rival lord, and rode the resulting civil war straight to the throne. ‘The King’ was never a hero; he was just a man driven mad by greed.
”Now then…”
Sieben stripped off the maid outfit until he was stark naked. His hands instinctively moved to the girl’s breasts. Even with a girl’s mind and body, curiosity remained.
”Whoa… so this is what it’s like. Being a girl feels… really good.”
But if he kept this up, he might never want to go back. Looking at Mihiro, Sieben could see how easy it was to lose oneself.
”Besides, rubbing one out in the hallway is a bit much, even for me,” Sieben muttered.
Though, he definitely wanted to try some lesbian action with Lil eventually. That was on the to-do list. Finally, Sieben returned to his original form.
”What the hell was I thinking…?”
Self-loathing hit him like a physical weight. Sasaki Natsumi slumped onto all fours on the cold floor. Becoming Satomi-becoming a woman-was dangerous. He needed to make that a one-time thing.
Natsumi got dressed and slid his mask back on. The usual ‘him.’ He stepped into the King’s bedroom. There, on the bed, lay the King’s remains-his head and torso having undergone a brutal separation. Sitting right next to the gore, looking perfectly composed, was a stark-naked Himuro Yukiko.
”Ah, Sieben! Hey, listen, Suzuki and Sato were so mean. I was just trying to ‘thank’ the King, and then they just came in and killed him!”
”I see. You seem pretty unfazed for someone who just watched the King get slaughtered,” Sieben observed.
”Hmm… now that you mention it, yeah. I wonder why? I don’t really feel grossed out at all.”
”Probably because you’re a vampire now. You’ve lost that human aversion to death,” Sieben replied.
It was true. Yukiko was no longer human. She was a high-ranking vampire. Sieben had been the one to ‘demote’ her via his newly unlocked Unique Skill: Fallen Heaven².

Yukiko was now a True Ancestor-the progenitor of a new line. Her stats had spiked because her ‘Hyper-Frailty’ trait was gone. She had gained standard vampire weaknesses; sunlight wouldn’t turn her to ash instantly, but it would tank her parameters. Her Shadow Clad skill would help mitigate this by allowing her to manifest armor from her own shadow. Pseudo-Immortality meant she wouldn’t die from conventional wounds, though silver or holy magic remained lethal.
”Sieben… I’m hungry. Give me your blood,” Yukiko said.
She clung to him, her teeth sinking into his neck. Natsumi felt a sharp prick of pain. She was starving; she could no longer gain nutrients from normal food, though she could still eat it for the flavor.
”Nn… gulp… slurp… nn…”
The sound of her swallowing was rhythmic and strangely erotic. Her eyes glazed over with a wet sheen.
”Haaah… Thank you for the meal. Your blood, Sieben… it’s so rich. So thick… it was delicious.”
”Oh… really?”
”Yeah. The King’s blood was thin. It didn’t taste good at all.”
Natsumi wasn’t sure if that was a compliment. He wondered if virgin blood really was the best. If so, his inner circle was in trouble. Annamaria was out. Maybe Jessica?
”Alright, now that you’ve had your fill, let’s go,” Natsumi said.
”Go where?”
”We’re going after Suzuki and Sato. You’re coming with me.”
Shadows swirled around Yukiko, manifesting as a cloud of bats that coalesced into a black Gothic Lolita dress, complete with a dark parasol.
”How do I look? Does it suit me?” she asked.
”Yeah. It looks great on you.”
”Ehehe… thank you, Sieben.”
She gave him a bashful smile. She was cute, in a totally different way than Honoka. Honoka was like a small animal; Yukiko had the vibe of a pure, porcelain doll. Of course, they were both absolute perverts on the inside.
”Alright, let’s move. Yukiko, hang on tight.”
She hugged him as if she never intended to let go. Once she was secure, Natsumi activated Teleportation.

Character Insight:
Natsumi shows a darker, more manipulative side by transforming Yukiko, yet struggles with his own identity and the intoxicating nature of his mimicry. Yukiko has completely lost her human moral compass, accepting death and blood-drinking without hesitation.

Behind the Scenes:
