Blood Assimilation

As Randy was consoling the sad little girl in front of his room's entrance, a figure slowly but surely approached them in the distance. 

"Klara, stop bothering Crimson." The old man said in the distance as he approached the two of them. 

The old man looked at the young girl, who had her head slightly down, and continued after getting closer to the two of them.

"Crimson had things to do at the city, so he would not be living with us anymore. Although it's a bit sad that he could not stay for long, it can't be helped. So why don't we send him off instead, hm?"

"…" Klara slowly nodded without saying anything. 

The old man then turned to face Randy before he asked in confirmation. 

"Young man, are you ready to take your leave?" 

"Yes, gramps. Thank you for everything these past few days." Randy responded and said in gratitude.

"Haha… Don't worry about it. You have saved my dear granddaughter from those corrupted people from the church. Naturally, I have to at least help you with this much. It is just that I think what we have given you is not enough to show our gratitude." The old man said, a bit regretful.

"Rest assured, what you have given me is more than enough." Randy humbly said.

"Very well. Then shall we go?" The old man nodded, pleased with his humble words.

"Alright." Randy replied. 

Randy went back to his room and checked one more time, and when he confirmed that he did not leave anything behind, he quickly came out of his room.

Afterward, the three of them proceeded to walk around the village, and Randy said his farewells to the other people in the village. 

Even those hostile people from a few days said their farewells to him in a friendly tone. It turned out that they actually were not bad people. It was just that they lived near the Meistic Forest, which had some demonic beings like vampires and other demons that secretly lived in the forest. 

There were many instances in the past where some of the people in the village had gone missing. They were either attacked by vampires or other demonic beings from the nearby forest. As a result, they held animosity toward demonic beings in general. Thus, when they heard that he was allegedly a vampire that came to attack their village, they were immediately shocked and could not help but be on their guard against him. 

Randy also came to know about the reason for their aggression that day and he had long since reconciled with the people in the village during these few days. 

Randy spent about an hour going around and saying his farewell to those still in their homes, and very quickly, he, the old man, and Klara made their way to the exit of the village which also served as the entrance. 

At this time, there was a group of people waiting for them by the exit of the village. These were the people who had time to come out and send him off. 

At this point, a middle-aged man opened his mouth and called out to Randy, who stood in front them before speaking.

"Brat! You better not die out there. A city is a place full of all kinds of people with different personalities unlike our humble village, and if you truly plan on being a hunter, then you'll be facing even more danger." Klemente said as he looked at Randy with a serious expression.

"That's right. Why don't you stay here with us instead?" He then continued. 

"What are you saying? Are you not aware that he has his reason for leaving? Or have you forgotten already?" Klemente's wife said to her husband while pinching him. 

"Ouch! Stop pinching me already. I get it. I was just suggesting." Klemente groined in pain while rubbing his sides. 

His wife was quite aggressive at times like this and does not go easy on him. But he was already used to this treatment from his wife. 

As if recalling something, he turned to Randy before speaking again: "Right, brat. It appears that my dear daughter has taken quite a liking to you during your stay here. She even sees you as her older brother nowadays. Sadly, she did not have a sibling so I will give you my special permission to be her older brother from now on." 

Randy had no idea what the other party was saying, so he only looked on with a smile on his face.

Noticing his weak reaction, Klemente cleared his throat and continued: "What I'm trying to say is that you have to come back alive. Because if you die, your little sister would be so sad that she would start crying her eyeballs out." 

"Dad! What are you saying?! When did I ever cry?! I'm not a kid anymore!" Klara felt embarrassed by her father's remarks and shouted right away.

"Hahaha! Anyway, you better take care of yourself. I have no idea why you want to become a hunter when it seems like you're already strong enough. But since you saved our daughter, you have already become like a family to us. So don't go off and die, got it?!" Klemente laughed at her daughter, and then said to Randy.

"Got it!" Randy replied with a smile.

"Sheesh! How many times have you said 'die' already? Do you truly want Crimson to die? Is that it?" Klemente's wife called Jemaima commented when she noticed how many times her husband had mentioned the word 'die' in his sentences just now.

Before she spoke, she had pinched him on his side without hesitation, and only proceeded to let go after she finished speaking.

"Ouch! I was just emphasizing it so that he understands. It's not like I want him to die or anything." Klemente painfully said to his wife. 

"…I understand. Don't worry, I won't die that easily." Randy responded after a moment of silence.

"Hm, that's more like it. A real man should not be afraid of something like death." Klemente nodded and commented in a pleased tone.

"Uncle Klemente, Aunt Jemaima, gramps, Klara, and everyone, I would like to take my leave now. Once again, thank you for everything. If I have time, I will come to visit you all again in the future." Randy bowed and said to them afterward.

"We'll be waiting for your return then, young man. Take care of yourself and have a safe journey on your way." The old man said to him in return with a smile.

After exchanging more pleasantries with them and then saying his farewell to Klara, who seemed disappointed that she could not tag along with him, Randy finally headed south from his current location. 

At this time, he was making his way toward the nearby city, which was not that far from his current location on foot.

Randy had already spent too much time in the village after arriving in this world than he had planned.. But it was without a doubt worth it since the time he spent learning at that village could guarantee or possibly increase the chances of his survival in this new world.
