Keito Okamoto

Boku wa Vampire...

Three hundred years have passed since the end of that war.

The cold war between humans and vampires that has lasted for centuries has been quietly waged. Vampires were rounded up and brutally murdered by humans who believed in the power of darkness and death. When the fierceness of the war broke out, it was no longer just a Cold War, but vampires were being openly slaughtered.

People in that era were very active in hunting vampires. Although in some beliefs vampires are vicious zombies, they have many physical limitations. Vampires may not be killed by sunlight, but they do not appreciate its light like humans are afraid of darkness.

Dark clouds covered the night sky in Tokyo, but the crowded city could not be noticed by the sky-high Tokyo Tower. Kota observed the approaching clouds as a sign of another war that had ended with the vampires fleeing to the depths of the forest to escape the hunt and kill. Cruelty from humans

'These foolish humans will meet their end this time.'

He received this message three days ago from the Axis vampire leader. Four hundred years as a civilized vampire leader He has encountered many vampire genocides. Even though it was just a simple matter of killing humans to avenge the vampires' losses, it was still humans' stupidity that made them...

Civilized vampires could not bring themselves to kill humans. Humans may not know that they are being protected from being killed by Axis vampires ready to wipe out the human race at any time. When there was a division between vampires So there was no longer just a war between humans and vampires. But what if it was also a war between vampires?

"It's finally happened," Kota muttered as he sensed the signs of the Axis vampires approaching. Only civilized vampires can protect humans from the Axis vampires, and it's time for them to do just that. He spread out the large black feather wings on his back and took off to the north so that the civilized vampires could prepare.

Kota's black feathered wings folded and vanished as his feet touched the wide ground in front of a large mansion that he used as a den for civilized vampires. A young man walked up to him with a neutral face, but he knew the fear in this young man's heart. Although he was called a young man, this vampire was already over three hundred years old.

The young vampire stopped and stood in front of him. “Today, ten humans were killed as reported by the Axis vampires. They were bitten and died from blood infections.” The young vampire was silent for a moment before speaking in a more serious tone, “Father, Axis vampires are much stronger than before. I'm not sure we will....."

"Are you afraid, Keito?"

Keito let out a small sigh. "Yes, Father."

Kota smiled slightly. Keito is the eldest of his three sons and the only one born to his first wife, but the other two were born to his second wife, who she killed by the Axis vampires a hundred years ago.

Although Keito is the son of a civilized vampire leader, he is a person who does not like war and killing at all, unlike his two younger brothers who are eager to kill Axis vampires with all their might. “You shouldn't have been born a vampire, Keto. You should know what the world has taught you these past three hundred years.

If you don't kill, you must be killed. Humans are just stupid creatures that we have to protect because that's our food. You are not human, so don't act so weak again.”

Keito pursed his lips tightly. From the time he was born until now, all he had to deal with was killing and drinking blood to survive. Being born as a vampire, drinking blood is important. However, every time he drank it, he felt a disgusting fishy smell. But if he didn't drink it, his body would be too weak to do anything.

Although vampirism wouldn't cause a human to die or become a vampire, he hated doing it. Still, he could not avoid this way of life. Being born a vampire caused him almost unbearable suffering. If possible, try to be born as a human being and live a quiet life. It's better with those stupid people. Keito nodded slightly. "I'll remember."

Kota's face became stoic again. “Father, I have heard you speak like this for more than three hundred years, but nothing has changed. If you're so afraid, stay here and put on a skirt. The two younger brothers will handle your part.” He said coldly and walked past his eldest son indifferently. Just being born different from other vampires caused Keto enough suffering, and having to live under the strict rules of civilized vampires must have caused his son quite a bit of suffering.

But at this time, he had no right to feel sorry for his child. When the war happened Kindness is not in the dictionary.

Kota walked silently through a large hall filled with hundreds of bats roosting. The two young men immediately stood up as he entered. "Yuto, Yuri, are you ready?" he asked.

"Yes, Father," they both answered in unison.

"Will Keito-sama go with us?" Yuri asked, knowing how difficult his brother's life was. The more you will have to face those killings again. How can his brother endure it?

“Keto has no excuse for escaping. If he doesn't go, he will become a burden for us. And when that time comes, I will kill him with my own hands.” Kota said in a serious tone that caused Yuri and Yuto to remain silent. “The Axis vampires are definitely going to kill more humans, so you two go prepare. Tell Keito.

Don't act as a hindrance to us. Otherwise, he will be no different from a human being who will die when the time is right,” he said and walked away from his two sons.

Inside Kota's private room, it was quiet and cold. There wasn't even a single light shining on it. But with the vampire blood in him Darkness is no obstacle to vision. He sighed heavily when he was alone. It's not just Keito who hates war. He hated it too.

He recalled the incident three hundred years ago when his first wife was given to the humans by an Axis vampire and.....

His heart ached when he thought of the events of that day. The fire spread all over his wife, causing him pain to the point where he couldn't bear to look at him. Even though he was within arm's reach, he couldn't help his wife at all. But as his wife was about to die, a darkness of black mist appeared that engulfed the entire area. When the mist cleared, his wife disappeared as well, leaving no trace, not even ashes or scraps of clothing.

Someone came to save his wife's life but he couldn't figure out where he was. He had searched for it for more than three hundred years until now but could not find it. Kota caressed the silver ring on his hand absentmindedly. "I miss you so much, Hikaru."

"Father!! The Axis vampires have begun to take action!!"

Yuto's shout snapped him out of his trance. It's time now! Kota picked up the sword that was on the table and hurriedly walked away. Vampires were unparalleled in their agility, so there was only one way to kill them. engaging in hand-to-hand combat The enchanted sword was the only thing that could kill Axis vampires, including

Civilized vampires like them too.

Kota walked out in front of the mansion. Thousands of civilized vampires were already waiting for him. Keito was there too. The army of civilized vampires seemed to know their duties well without being told to. They all spread their wings and took off together as Kota flew ahead. Kota wasted no time turning around to see if his entire army had followed or had been attacked along the way.

His job is to lead the civilized vampires towards a war that is about to erupt in the heart of Tokyo.

The closer he flew, the more disgusting the smell of blood became. The screams of the humans made him dizzy and he was ready to fold his wings and stop wherever he could get away from this war. But once he got here, he no longer had a choice.

If you don't kill, you must be killed. That was what he had always been instilled with. Keito resisted the urge to continue flying, but he was almost completely exhausted.

A loud shout sounded as he entered the middle of Tokyo, with the cries of humans mingling together and the smell of blood permeating the area. The civilized vampire soldiers guarding the place were almost all killed by the Axis vampires.

Keito dodged the sword of one of the Axis vampires that was rushing towards him. He looked back and tightened his sword in his hand, preparing to fight. However, Axis' body was filled with a very sickening smell of blood. The Axis Lord's sword shone brightly, causing him to become dizzy for a moment before its sharp blade shot into his side, barely cutting a line of red medicine through it.

Keito parried the creature's sword before stabbing it, but the creature dodged just in time.

Keito felt his body begin to tire and his head began to ache even more because of the overwhelming smell of blood. The Axis stabbed its sword at him again, but his body was too weak to resist, causing the sword to pierce his stomach. Keito felt a burning sensation in the area where he had been stabbed. His blood rushed out of his body like a broken pipe as he pulled out his sword.

Axis laughed hoarsely before he lost consciousness.

Kota was numb when he saw his eldest son's body falling downstairs in front of his eyes. Kota tightened his grip on the sword and rushed towards the Axis with vengeance. But as soon as that Axis turned his head, he had to deflect the blade that was about to stab him and turn in another direction so as not to cause any harm to the person in front of him.

Kota looked at the Axis's face again. "You're Hikaru, right?" He called out the name of the Axis, unable to believe his eyes. Three hundred years of searching, but he was not prepared to encounter this unexpected event. His first wife had turned into an Axis vampire! “The vampire you killed just now. He's our son!”

Hikaru looked dejectedly at the figure that had fallen downstairs. His son who had lived in torment for three hundred years. He was going to get it over with, he didn't want his son to suffer anymore. Hikaru looked away from Keito and looked at her shocked ex-husband.

"Why, Hikaru? Why did it become an axis?” Kota's voice sounded very depressed.

Hikaru didn't answer the question. He held his sword firmly and charged at the person in front of him, hoping to stab him to kill him. But Kota was skilled enough to dodge Hikaru's sword. Their swords collided until sparks flashed across the sky. Kota slammed his sword at him, but Hikaru was able to block it in time. “Now I am aligned with the Axis Powers.

Let's end it with these stupid humans!" Hikaru said and swung his sword at Kota again before the tall figure flew away in the other direction.

Kota flew around behind him and locked onto his ex-wife. “Stop it, Hikaru. Please calm down. You are not an Axis vampire. Your identity is civilized!”

"Shut up!!" Hikaru jerked away from Kota's grip. "Although I am not an Axis by birth, But for humans Whether it was Axis or Civilization, they all killed them. I myself wouldn't care which one it was. Humans are enemies that deserve to be eliminated.”

Kota blocks Hikaru's sword strikes. “Stop it, Hikaru. Those humans should live in peace where they are.”

“What about us? We vampires have always lived in peace. Even though we drink human blood, we have never once killed anyone, so why do all the humans kill us indiscriminately like that?” Hikaru said and slashed his sword at the person in front of him.

Kota swung himself and dodged Hikaru's sword. "Humans need to be educated."

"And when is it?!" Hikaru launched himself at Kota, but the tall figure was able to dodge it in time. "When will they live with us in peace?!" Kota didn't answer. Even though humans are creatures that don't understand things easily, But it has the benefit of being food for vampires like them.

The two swords clashed fiercely again. Kota blocked Hikaru's sword once more before asking in a loud voice. "That Keito is your inner child. Why did you have to kill him?” With deep regret over Keito's passing, Kota slipped and left a hole for Hikaru to successfully thrust his sword into his side.

Kota backed away and held the bleeding wound as he looked at his ex-wife with disappointment and regret.

Hikaru grinned. “Three hundred years ago, if I had known that Keito would grow up to be like this, I would have killed him when he was a baby to prevent him from suffering. You might say I'm cruel, Kota. But for me, seeing my son suffer for three hundred years is more tormenting to me than seeing him die.”

“But now he's dead. And why do you still have to be on the Axis side?!”

"You know that reason, Kota," Hikaru replied in a softer tone. Kota noticed that those eyes were hidden with regret and were overflowing with tears.

Kota shook his head unable to accept it. "You know I can't do it."

“But you must. Keito is dead and I have no reason to continue living. Now I am your enemy Axis vampire. Just kill me!”

Kota's eyes welled up with tears streaming down her face. “And me? I have always missed you and loved you. But are you no longer in love with me?” Hikaru's face was wet with overflowing tears but she didn't answer his question. Those eyes implored him to do something completely contrary to his heart.

Kouta sheds tears of agony. "I can't, Hikaru. I already lost Keito and I don't want to lose you again.”

Hikaru closed his eyes for a moment as if making a decision before charging his sword at Kota, hoping to kill him, but Kota was able to dodge again. “Didn't you say it yourself? In the world of vampires, if you don't kill, you must be killed. Since you won't kill me Looks like I'm going to have to kill you." And without saying a word, Hikaru slammed his sword at Kota again, so fast that Kota was caught off guard.

With Kota's warrior instincts When danger comes to him, he must quickly defend and counterattack. Hikaru's sword was easily deflected as if it were ready to surrender to him at any moment before Kota's sword pierced the hilt completely through his ex-wife's body. Hikaru didn't cry out as the sword plunged into his body.

Its power can cause extreme pain to the body.

Hikaru smiled at Kota who was now shocked at what he had done. Tears fell from Hikaru's eyes and a smile escaped his face. “Three hundred years I have lived in shame as an Axis vampire. Now you have washed away that shame from me. I want you to know that I love you always. Goodbye."

The last words that came out of his wife's mouth were extremely harrowing. Hikaru's body slowly disappeared. Burned and dissolved into ether with the power of his sword. Kota was nearly exhausted when all that was left in his hand was the sword he used to stab his ex-wife to death. His large feathered wings slowly spread. He fell down with the poison from the stab wound and the sad mood that consumed his heart.

Yuuto flew to his side. "Father, father is injured. Please go get treated first." He said in an impatient tone.

But Kota didn't answer immediately. He turned to look at the face of his second son, who now had the status of an elder brother now that Keito had died. "Yuto," Yuto listened as he continued. “Take care of your younger sibling and the civilized vampires for me. Now it's father's time."

"No, Father!" Yuto had tears running down his cheeks and cried out in shock. "Father, what must it be?"

Kota smiled slightly. When he saw another Yuri fly to his side. “Keito is dead, and no one will protect the civilized vampires except you. I leave you with Yuto." Kota smiled at his two children with kindness before the figure slowly disappeared. Burns and decays into ether.

The passing of their father and brother caused resentment to grow in Yuto and Yuri's hearts. They brutally killed the Axis vampires until the war finally ended with the victory of the civilized vampires that night. All human memories were erased. The next morning, everyone went about their lives as usual without being able to remember. The fierce killing of the vampires had just happened last night.

The bright sunlight shone through his eyes, almost blindingly. Keito slowly adjusted his eyes to the bright light shining in his eyes.

“Young Master Ryutaro, please go. He's scary."

Someone's voice rang out in his ears. Now he was lying in the large garden of a mansion. Keito slowly pushed himself to his feet and processed the past events. Even though the sword could have killed him, the wound from last night's stab had completely healed without leaving a trace. He could feel that something inside of him was changing.

"He must have gone crazy. Please tell Lord Yuya to have someone drag him away, Young Master Ryutaro."

Keito turned towards the voice. A wide-eyed young man standing not far away was staring at him with interest, along with his butler who was ready to drag the young man away from him. Something inside of Keito began to simmer as he locked eyes with those big eyes.

"What's wrong with you?"

That cute voice made his insides tremble even more. The butler standing next to the young man stared at him in fear before running away without waiting for his young master, but the young man still stared at him without blinking.

"Are you an actor? I watched yesterday The main character is a vampire and he has fangs like you,” Ryutaro said to him innocently.

Keito smiled happily. White fangs glistening in the sunlight. The smell of human blood that he once detested now made him so thirsty that he wanted to sink his fangs into this young man's smooth white neck. He walked closer to Ryutaro and looked at the boy with glowing red eyes. After more than three hundred years,

His vampire instincts were born!
