Vampeerz ch46 (Final chapter)

p2
>>Aria is stabbed by the treasured sword that kills immortal vampires. Flashing before her eyes are memories of when she was human...

>Find her.
>Track her down before the sun hides itself.
>Protect our great king from calamity.

>Saqr, who has no value. Who nobody would notice if she died.
>Become the princess of the scapegoat king.
>Carry all the misfortune.
>Face your destiny and protect our great king.

p3
>...I have been chosen by the oracle to the princess of the scapegoat king.
>I can live in luxury for 20 days.
>Once the feast is over, I'll face my destiny.

>That's right...
>...I'm not afraid to die.

p4
>It doesn't matter where or when I die.
>Nobody knows who I am, after all.
>...It's just,

>the deliciousness of the bread I was offered
>and the pain of the stones thrown at me
>were mine and mine alone, so if my life is going to end, is there a reason why I was born...?
>Do you know, Priest?

p6
>Mm...

p7
>Ah.

>You've been asleep for three months.
>...Why am I alive?
>So you remember that clearly, huh?
>Then I'll start at the end.

p8
>The "immortal you" is dead.
>You're back to being human, Aria.

>HUH!?
>Ugh
>Ah.

>Try not to exert yourself until you're fully healed...
>Your legs are weak too.
>~~~~Ng
>Tell me that sooner...

>At any rate, those wounds are proof.
>...
>Ichika-san saved you from your eternal suffering.

p9
>She gambled everything on her feelings for you.
>...Not bad for a 14-year old.

>And the treasured sword?
>It disappeared.
>But it can just be made again.
>We have the "materials" for it, after all.

>...How do you know all this?

>I've unexpectedly inherited the "core"!
>Al-Kamil disappeared, the dead ghosts went back to being human,
>and the remaining Ghika members signed a peace treaty!
>My time has come!
>I don't really get it, but I've become the new queen.
>Eh~...

>...School should be over soon.

p10
>Let's go see her.
>...Okay.

>...

p11
>Oh, there she is.

>Ichika-san!

>Sensei.

p12
>Hm?
>Who's that girl?

p13
>Uh
>Uuh.
>While you were asleep, we arranged it so you exist in this country.
>I'll be acting as your guardian for the time being.
>Here's the family register...

>Geez, stop crying already...
>She's forgotten everything about the rest of us lilus too.
>I hoped she'd return to normal when she saw you, but...
>This is just...
>too cruel...

p14
>As you can see,
>she's pretty bummed out.

>What's the big deal?
>Just start dating her again.
>It's not like she's dead or anything.
>H-
>Hey.

>Uwaaaahn.
>Húndàn! [tn: Chinese for "asshole"]
>You've got zero delicacy!

>Several centuries for us is nothing compared to a few months at her age.
>That's surely why that miracle happened.

p15
>We've all made preparations to help you out, so get a hold of yourself.
>This is Ichika's schedule for next week. I'll just leave it here.

>This is the most we can do.
>The rest is up to you.

>Do your best, Aria.

>"So long as we can meet again,"
>"we'll surely..."

p16
>She said that as if she knew what would happen...
>She must've know what she'd lose.
>If I'm back to being human like Ichika wanted...
>does that mean we can meet again?

>But what good is that?
>Ichika doesn't remember anything, after all...

>Huh? You're from yesterday.

>Aria-san,
>was it?

p17
>Man~ You're a lifesaver!
>When do you start school again?
>Ah, next week.

>...It's strange.
>It feels like I've known you since long ago.
>Hm?

p18
>Does that mean her memories haven't completely vanished!?
>In that case, there may be a way to bring them back...

>Okay, time to go home.
>What should I do?
>Something that's deeply engraved within us...

>~~~Mm...
>!

>Ichika... san.
>...Yes?

>Have you ever kissed before?
>Huh?

p19
>Ah, sorry. I didn't mean anything weird by that.
>How should I put this...

>I haven't. Wanna try?

>Eh?
>Ah, that's not what you meant, huh? What am I saying...?
>I'm so weird.

p20
>I wonder if she'll fall in love at first sight again...
>No,
>I want to try it...
>Really!?
>Erm...

>...

>Um,
>it's not like I'd do this with just anyone...

>Yeah...
>...If this doesn't work, nothing will.

p21
>Back then, I was on the receiving end...
>At the very least, our lifespans are the same now.

>That alone is amazing, Ichika.
>We shouldn't have been able to age the same way.
>But you made it happen.

>Even though it meant sacrificing the feelings that had finally reached me.

p22
>Thank you...

p23
>...

>Aria-"chan".

p24
>I had faith this would happen.
>I see your hair's grown.

p26
>Ichika...

p27
>We're together until death do us part.

p28
>I love you.
