Reincarnated As a Vampire [English Version]

Volume 5 Chapter 8 Interlude

A Morning Too Early for a Gamer

That night passed faster than usual.
I stared at the monitor, my eyelids half-closed. The blue light reflected off my face, revealing the deep dark circles under my eyes.

"Fuaaah..." I yawned, dragging my mouse lazily. "Just one more mission... then I'll sleep."

Yeah. I'd said that three hours ago.

Now it was already 4:30 in the morning. Even the birds hadn't woken up yet-but here I was, still sitting in front of my PC, fighting the final boss.

Tragic. Truly tragic.
I, Avrora-the princess of the Divine Kingdom-looked exactly like a NEET who'd forgotten how to live a healthy life.

And the irony?
I was enjoying every second of it.

"Yosh! Finally beat it!" I shouted, raising my hand in triumph.

But soon after, my head grew heavy, my eyes watered, and my body screamed for mercy.

"Fuaaaah... enough. Time to sleep."

The moment my head hit the pillow, the world went black.

---

Morning-or more accurately, just a few hours later-I felt someone pulling me out of my dream.

"Avrora-sama, it's morning. You need to get ready for school," came a gentle voice.

I cracked one eye open. "Ugh... Lora, is that you? I'm still sleepy... let me sleep a bit longer, okay?"

"That won't do, Avrora-sama," Lora replied, soft yet firm. "If you don't get up, the Queen will be angry. But... how about I wipe your body for you while you stay in bed?"

"...Whatever you want, Lora," I mumbled, closing my eyes again.

Lora's face turned sly. "Very well, I'll go get a towel and warm water~"

She walked away with a mischievous smile, like someone who'd just discovered hidden treasure.

Moments later, she returned, carrying a basin of warm water and a clean white towel. Setting it beside my bed, she began unbuttoning my pajamas, one button at a time.

"Avrora-sama is so beautiful..." she murmured softly. "Her skin's so white and smooth, her body... perfectly proportioned..."

Lora gulped, her face turning red.
"Just a little... should be fine, right?" she thought with a wicked grin.

Her hand, holding the towel, began to gently wipe my neck and shoulders... slowly moving lower.

I stirred slightly in my sleep. "Nnnh..."

Lora smiled, satisfied. "Ehehe... that's right, Avrora-sama..."

And then-snap!

Her ear was pulled sharply from behind.

"ITAAIII!!!" she screamed.

"Lora!" a cold, authoritative voice rang out. A woman with long brown hair stood at the doorway, her eyes sharp as knives. "What do you think you're doing to Avrora-sama?"

"Ah! A-Angelia-san! This isn't what it looks like!" Lora panicked.

Angelia sighed deeply. "You never learn, do you? I've received plenty of reports from the other maids-but now you're even touching Avrora-sama's body? Fool."

"I'm sorry! I really am!" Lora bowed frantically.

"Leave. Now. I'll handle Avrora-sama myself."

"Y-Yes!" Lora fled faster than light, probably to escape her next punishment.
