"He possesses witches' eyes, veritas's eyes. He obtained one of my species' traits thanks to his mother!" Lucie exclaimed these words with frightening eyes that gave me the impression of facing another person.

Her nature as a shy and cute girl had now turned into a girl obsessed with mysteries, and who wouldn't say no if I offered her to dissect me into pieces to study me in detail?

"Lucie, give us more explanation instead of being in your role as a witch. I called you for that, and also, don't even think about revealing to a soul everything you will learn today."

"Yes, milady. You don't have to worry about that. We always have our confidentiality clauses, so don't be afraid."

The more I heard them talk to each other, the more I had the impression of seeing an older sis talking to her little sis.

Meh, for now, I don't need to intervene in their conversations.

My mind dealt with strange information that I had just received while listening to her words; in her joy, she said that I got one of her species' traits thanks to my ma!? What does she mean by that? That my mum is one of them?

This question has been gnawing at my heart since I saw the same aura coming from her, which also emanated from my twin sis and mummy. If my mum is a witch, then it also means that...sigh, it's impossible. If she was a witch, we wouldn't be in such a galley and will not be in misery to the point of forcing her to go to work every day, including on Sundays, to support ourselves.

Unlike our dad, who looked at us as if we weren't his childs, our ma was the most caring with us. That just that she could no longer afford to be there for me after my pa and sis death; she had to work day and night with almost no time for sleep. And I, who had a weak heart, couldn't help her; even working in a supermarket was strictly prohibited, according to physicians' reports.

I remember almost dying from a heart attack when I got a small job that didn't require too much physical effort. Ultimately, my treatment costs devoured the little money my mom had saved. It was so frustrating that it disgusted me. But now, I will make up for my five years of delay and help her do everything.

"Um, in this case, do you have an idea of what he has become?" She asked Lucie as she came close to me and held my hand.

Hearing Eve's question, the room became silent and dull. My nature piqued everyone's curiosity, including myself, who was the main interest.

Thus, the cute witch who has now returned to herself began her analysis by turning around me. But I could guess her interest from my eyes as she spread my left eyelid to look closer at my pupils. Then, I could feel Eve's grip tightening around my hand when Lucie's finger touched my upper left canine.

Even if she didn't prevent her from doing her analyses, she still seemed frustrated for some reason.

"Sigh, I think...he's a hybrid." She conclude without chewing her words, surprising us all. But my surprise seemed different from the others. Unlike me, who wondered how I became a f*cking hybrid, Eve constantly shook her head.

"What nonsense are you talking about!? Even a full-fledged witch would lose her powers after her turning into a vampire. Not to mention him, who is a man! Aren't you going to start telling me that men are now able to become witches?" Eve's frustrated voice resonates in the room as she constantly refutes Lucie's incomprehensible words.

"Milady, I don't know how it happened, but that's all I can say. You know like me that we have not found any information about her mother, who is a witch but who does not belong to any cult; we must expect everything with solitary witches." When I heard her pronounce these words in a nervous tone, my surprise wasn't glorious as I expected. Maybe it was because of my bland emotions that were still coming back!?

Because from the moment I saw this same ethereal energy around Lucie, I had half concluded this hypothesis in my head. But I still couldn't resolve to accept the fact that she was a witch. Not that it bothers me, but I wonder about our poverty. Whether it's John, Alfred, Eve, and now, this little girl... Lucie, they all seem to swim in a banknotes sea. So why isn't my ma's case?

She had even sold my dad's car, which he had left behind him, to meet our primary needs before she got a job. But this is only a minor detail, the most important thing is to know one thing...

"Lucie, are witches able to cure incurable diseases such as cancers and heart injures?" It was the most important thing I needed to know.

But hearing my question, I could guess that Eve had understood my question's hidden meaning just by seeing her thin eyebrows contract. But she still remained silent and seemed determined to keep what she had at the deep of her heart.

"It is possible, as long as a witch seals a pact with a water or light spirit. But when it comes to healing, vampire blood remains the simplest and fastest way. Now that I think about it, milady, your first meeting with milord Kasel was his accident night when you saved his life by offering him your blood, didn't you!?" She applauded with her hands, followed by this reminder of which I wasn't aware; I can't help but be surprised after learning this fact.

On the other hand, I was more and more confused. Yes, my confusion had just reached its height when I learned that a vampire had given me her blood to heal me. But why did I always have this heart problem?

"Is vampire blood unable to heal a roasted heart?"

I asked with question marks above my head. I wasn't ready to leave mysteries lying behind me.

Even if my question was vague, Evelyne, who knew all information about me, instinctively knew what I am talking about. "This is a little sensitive information. If you want my opinion, I advise you not to want to know more about this subject before your vampire powers assimilation. With your stable emotions, you will not have to--

"No, I want to know everything now," I say by interrupting her in her sentence. Even if I could see her reluctance, I was neither ready to renounce nor put crucial information on hold.

What bad joke is it this time? I feel like I'm collapsing with more and more things about this race when not even a day has passed! It's scary, from a philosophical and historical point of view!

Evelyne looked me with her golden eyes before sighing with abandon. She began her explanation in a hesitant tone. "To begin with, you had never had a problem with your heart; according to the information collected by Lucie, your mother is a witch whose power and mysteries around her are unknown to us. But I can't give you my opinion about it. Although I met her almost every night, when I meet you, we haven't exchanged more than five times in the last four to five years."

Hearing these words, even if my heart vibed strangely, I wasn't convinced of these words' veracity. It wasn't that I doubted her, but my trust in my mum prevailed over anything else. "So you say that the endless prescriptions, the various consultations I had carried out were the staging?" I asked with a frown.

Although she was silent, I could guess that her silence wasn't the silence of someone who doubted her words. "But even if all this is true, I can only doubt when you say that I had no problem with my heart. The facts showed to me when I tried to work in a supermarket. I had a heart attack because I had exceeded the efforts limit my heart could endure; as a result, I spent more than a week bedridden in the hospital."

After giving this detail, Lucie shakes her head in disagreement. "Milord, if I remember correctly, you had bedridden to a week and four days. The doctors released you on a Saturday night around 6 p.m. But it was not an ordinary heart attack; it was because of a spell that causes these effects;" she gave these explanations in a confident tone.

Which made me more confused than I was; not to mention Eve, even this girl knows my life better than I do. Did I at least have my privacy?

But I didn't have time to speak when Eve explained the shade areas that Lucie had not mentioned. "In fact, the reason why you don't remember me is also partly because of her. She had forbidden me to try to turn you into a vampire, but despite everything, she had allowed me to meet you every night in exchange for offering you a small amount of my blood. She is a strange and incomprehensible lady. No matter how often I had met her, I couldn't understand her thoughts and pov."

Finally, I had the impression that these two of us and I were talking about two different people. My mum is a carefree woman who expresses herself like a loudspeaker who doesn't need electricity to function. It was one of these qualities that made her extra-carefree, unlike the other handsome, robust man with an inexpressive face that was her husband.

"At the moment, I don't want to ask myself too many questions on this subject. Without the person concerned's presence... I can't know why she did that. My trust in her is absolute." I say while sitting on the sofa.

If my ma is a witch, it could only mean one thing; my sis is also one. My dad and sis's disappearance, my heart that was surgeries on, the change in my mom's behavior that I thought was caused by my pa and sis's disappearance... all these strange events have only one thing in common; the accident that took place five years ago and of which I have no memory.

But it doesn't matter, since one of my concerns is now solved, I can go home without any problem. Since my ma is a witch, who knew Eve's existence in addition to that, everything is fine on this side. Meh, I'm not interested in witches.

"...I'm going home," I say after hearing the essentials. Even if I'm unsure what she meant by hybrid, I can only assume that I inherited one of my mother's powers. But is this a good idea? I didn't know. Anyway, their dark expressions already answer my question. But that's not the most important thing for me. I must first discuss this with my ma, who seems to be the only one who could give me answers.

"... It's not a good idea to get out in broad daylight." The masochist who had remained silent until now reminds me of a detail I had forgotten. Vampires...are nocturnal creatures. The legend that they have a problem facing the sun doesn't seem to be a banal fairytale.

"Don't tell me I'm going to burn alive if I go out under the sun?" As I asked this question, I felt my heart get heavier as I learned about the problems that accompanied my transformation. I can't even imagine spiritual agony if I learn that I can no longer do my shopping during the day. Without talking about continuing my studies, I could no longer... wait for, is it even necessary to continue university? Sigh, I don't need to get excited too early and make hasty decisions.

'Let's stay calm to solve one problem at a time.' I said to myself by regulating my breathing while waiting for an answer from their conversation.

"Of course, Lord Kasel. The sun is naturally our sworn enemy. Even if this one doesn't kill us instantly as you think, it will still be a painful experience of burning alive. Even if witches can enchant rings or other accessories that protect us from its effects, they do not last a whole day. It depends on the witch's power who bewitched the ring, but also on its wearer." Sofia continued her explanation.

Honestly, even if I was curious to test the sun's effects on...another vampire’s body but, it was not the most important at the moment.

"Fufu~, maybe milord will not be affected by this weakness because of his particularity. From an objective pov, he is not only a vampire but also a man possessing witch's powers. We won't know until we perform a few tests." While I was in my thoughts, Lucie's proposal made me frown.

But despite everything, these words piqued my interest. And since the little demoness was always in her thoughts when she heard Lucie's statements... I had the green light to act like a guinea pig; it was for my own interest and not to satisfy the curiosity of this witch who would be ready to dissect my body to study me more.

When I looked at the clock above the TV, I could see that it was barely noon; in other words, the sun was at its zenith.

"No...you're not going to listen to this girl's nonsense, are you?!" Unfortunately for Sofia, her words seemed to be addressed to a deaf person. I ignored her as I walked calmly toward the window that let sunlight pass through itself.

Even if my action seemed suicidal, it was not the case. As long as the sun didn't kill me directly, but consumed me slowly...until extinction, then everything was fine. With a witch and two vampires who can go out under the sun, then everything will be fine?... isn't it?

At the same time, I stopped five centimeters from the sunlight. Then, slowly, I put my finger under the sun.

But seeing that nothing was happening, I gradually advanced my arm under it, and finally, I advanced to stand entirely under this light that I had missed so much. And at that moment...
