Why do I keep looking at that little child's hand with these muscleless arms?

Why!?

WHY!?????

"I prepared so much for this evolution, sought bloodlines and abilities that would help me, I even did something as dumb as meddling in a conspiracy just to figure out a way to overcome Vampire number one weakness." (I)

"All this work, all this waiting and all this effort in hopes of getting a strong, muscular adult body." (I)

"It didn't have to be very tall, a height of a normal adult human was enough, if I didn't just have the muscles it would be fine too, I would just need to train to get a muscular body." (I)

The more I talk the more tears fall from my eyes, I feel my heart broken in two.

I look at the rest of my body and notice that my height hasn't changed much, in fact, it's decreased by two inches, now I must be measuring around six inches tall.

I can see my entire body since I slept with no clothes on, I did this because I didn't want to rip the clothes off if I grew up during evolution, but instead I have the body of a child.

Tears

Sniff Sniff

No matter how hard I train, I'll never get muscle with that child's body, my only happiness is that my precious partner hasn't diminished, if not I could be the first Vampire to die of a heart attack.

"Why did this happen?" (I)

"Wait, that mysterious red-haired woman, if I remember right she said something about apologizing for my appearance." (I)

"She's the one, she's the one who did this to me, the next time I see her I'm going to rip her body to shreds." (I)

"(The title, the title she hurriedly gave me was very suspicious, I have to identify that thing.)" (I)

What the hell is this, this was not a gift, this is a curse.

I dropped to my knees on the floor without strength and lay there unaware of the passage of time.

------------

I'm hearing voices, but I don't care what they're saying.

"What are we going to do Kira?" (Érica)

"No matter how much we talk, he doesn't respond, all he does is kneel on the floor with those empty eyes." (Érica)

"He looks sad for some reason but I don't know why, he's so cute now, we should call Diana to help cheer him up." (Kira)

"That won't happen if Diana sees the master's new appearance, especially with him unclothed as now the master's innocence will be in danger." (Érica)

"It can't be that bad." (Kira)"Diana loves small and cute things, that's why she always helps and protects children, she also admires strong people, the master is both and she already liked him when he was still a Goblin, if she sees he will throw herself at him without thinking twice, after all, she already likes the master a lot even before his evolution." (Érica)

"So what do you suggest?" (Kira)

"Hmmm..." (Érica)

"The master is very shy, let me try something." (Érica)

I could hear conversation sounds, but nothing interested me at the time, suddenly I hear a whisper in my ear, at first I didn't pay attention, but soon my blood started to boil and my face got hot all at once, I got up and got up. I pulled away at once from the person who was whispering in my ear.

The things I've heard I wouldn't dare say out loud, how can anyone have such a dirty mind.

As soon as I look closer, I see it was Érica speaking in my ears, her face was slightly red and she had a playful smile on her face.

"What do you think you're saying to someone despondent, how can you say such perverted things, where did you find out about these things." (I)

"If you spend a lot of time with drunk adventurers you'll hear a lot of things like that, I've had a similar reaction in the past." (Érica)

"I don't know what they're talking about, but I'm happy to see you well again master." (Kira)

"I'm not fine, I'm angry, sad, dejected and now embarrassed too." (I)

I look over and see Érica is still looking at me with an amused glint on her face and Kira is looking away from me, her face is totally red, it takes me a few seconds to understand what's going on before I look down and see that I'm still clothed off.

I hurriedly grab the outfit I had taken off last night and put it on, the outfit is a little big on me now but I put on a belt to hold the pants and tucked the shirt into the pants.

"Now that you are dressed can you tell us why you are sad?" (Érica)

"You should be happy after evolution, many people are very excited about their new powers after evolving." (Kira)

"..." (I)

"Never mind that, I don't want to think about it right now." (I)

"Let's go to the cave, I have to take care of these two brothers soon, I don't know if the bastard Thomas Galaretto can track these brothers by the control symbol, so let's get this out of them soon." (I)

"Does the master have a way to help them? As expected of you." (Érica)

"Let's release them now, I couldn't sleep last night knowing they were trapped in the cave." (Kira)

I and the girls head towards the cave, on the way I noticed that my body felt lighter, I looked around and realized I could see further and in more detail, I may not like my appearance, but the improvement is undeniable. that this evolution has brought me, I have to try to get used to this body in the next few days before going to the city of Valen.

While thinking and checking some things, we arrived in the room where the brothers were, as soon as I entered I saw a figure approaching me at high speed, when I thought I would be hit I feel myself being lifted and then squeezed between two soft things.

"Master, you are so beautiful and fluffy, as something so precious can exist, you smell so good." (Diana)

"..." (I)

"I knew this was going to happen, let him go, Diana, this is not the time for such things." (Érica)

"Only five more minutes." (Diana)

"..." (I)

"Diana lets go of him, can't you see she's smothering him with her breasts, he can't breathe like that." (Kira)

Diana stops hugging me and pushes me away, just as I thought she was going to put me down she turns my body forward and hugs me again like I'm a doll.

"Now he won't suffocate, no more complaints." (Diana)

"..." (Érica/Kira/I)

Sigh

"Why do you always act like an idiot with everything that doesn't involve combat?" (Érica) "Forget about these things I want everyone to put their red clothes back on, I have to wake them both up to talk to them." (I)

"Yes Master." (Érica/Kira/Diana)

"Now that I've stopped to see, where are Ibuki and Byakko?" (I)

"They went into the forest to hunt some monsters and get some fruit, they should be back in a few hours." (Kira)

"Alright, let's do it without them then." (I)

"(On the way here I used to identify the skills I'm going to use to know what to do, I'm ready.)" (I)

We all left the room and changed clothes, after putting on the red clothes and masks I tell Érica to use her magic to light up the cave room, so I ask her to wake up the two Brothers, this is a decision they must both make together.

It doesn't take long for them to open their eyes, I've already warned them that only Kira and I can talk as we can disguise our voices.

"Good morning, it's time to wake up." (I)

They look first at me who spoke and then look around until they see each other, then start crying.

"Sister, are you alright? Did they do something to you?" (faceless brother)

"I'm fine Brother, but how are you? Did they do something to you?" (Sister without a face)

"I didn't do anything to either of them, so let's get down to business." (I)

"(I can't belong, I don't know if Thomas can share their senses.)" (I)

They both look at me with concern and wariness before their brother speaks to me.

"What do you want now, do you want to know any more information about the Church of Light?" (faceless brother)

"Sorry to disappoint you, my sister and I are mere tools for the extremist faction, we don't know anything worthwhile." (faceless brother)

"I don't want to know about this, I woke you up because I have a proposal for you, but you must decide for yourselves." (I)

The brothers look at each other before turning their eyes to me warily.

"Which proposal?" (Sister without a face)

"I have two options for you, the first one I release you in a faraway place and you can go back to your usual lives before you meet me." (I)

"You want me to believe you would let us go." (faceless brother)

"Quiet brother, he hasn't finished speaking yet." (Sister without a face)

"Let me clear things up for you, you don't know anything about me or the others in this room, don't know if we're the only ones here, don't know where we are, don't know what Kingdom we're from, don't know our races, don't know our ages, they don't know our genders and they don't even know the reason we captured you." (I)

"I don't need to kill you if I don't want to, you are not a threat." (I)

"..." (Brother without a face/Sister without a face)

"What's the second option?" (Sister without a face)

"You can serve me, I can free you from the Symbol of control, but you must swear allegiance to me of your own free will." (I)

"You're lying, during our travels, I searched everywhere and never even found something that could set us free." (Sister without a face)

"I've said everything I had to say, decide for yourself." (I)

The brothers show different reactions, even though the sister questioned me I could see a glimmer of hope in her eyes, while the brother was looking at his sister as if he was waiting for her decision.

"Why would we do that, nothing would change, we would still be subject to the will of someone else who would use us as tools." (Sister without a face)

"I don't think you understand something, I don't have tools, I have servants and subordinates." (I)

"(Servants and subordinates who are as important to me as a family.)" (I)

"I'm giving you a choice, so decide!" (I)

The sister looks at her brother who nods at her, she looks confused, after a few minutes she looks at me with a strong twinkle in her eyes, I could see a great determination, will, and hope in those eyes for the first time since I saw her. , as I look at your brother all I see is a small smile and eyes full of bravery and determination.

"We chose the second option." (Sister without a face)
