"Is everything alright Kazuki-kun?" Ama asked me from the other side of the glass as I was strapped onto a big machine. "If you have any problem with anything, please tell and we will terminate the tests then and there. You are more important than data~"
The last line did not really calm me down but I at least knew that I had an option to abort the tests if something were to happen. I nod my head and I was made to lie down. The bright white light was shining over my head and there was a red laser that was scanning my body from top to bottom. I was made to wear a weird headband of some sort on my head which was connected to their main computer.
I did not know what was happening and then a needle thrust into my hand out of nowhere and started taking some blood from me. Wow, it really did hurt when blood is being taken out from your body sometimes. Oh well, Ai’s teeth did have something similar to aphrodisiac to calm me down so I did not really know it even if I had been bitten twice by other vampires too.
I closed my eyes and decided to calm my mind and get my thoughts clear taking advantage of this situation. First things first, the latest thing I realized. I somehow have memories of the first and also the lord of the night but I am not really sure if what I think is correct or not. This was a really hard thing for me to wrap my head around.
I had to talk with Natsumi-san about this and I think also Ama since Natsumi-san says I can trust her and I trust Natsumi-san a lot. If what I think is real, then it might make everything a lot easier for us. I can know where the book of the first is and a way to solve Ai’s problem and also know why it is being caused. I have one theory but I don’t really know how well it will go with the reality.
"Okay, that is enough for today. Well done Kazuki-kun," Ama said and I opened my eyes seeing myself back in the plain white room staring at the white ceiling.
"Finally it is over," I said wiping the sweat off my head. It was so hot in there.
I got off the machine and went to the room adjacent to it and wear my clothes. Getting out, I found Natsumi-san and Ama staring at a line graph next to a screen. I did not quite know what it was so I decided to stay quiet and just observe what they are looking at.
"Take a look at this Kazuki," Natsumi-san said without even looking at me.
Be aware of your surrounding, huh.
I looked at the graph and it was just a line for me since I did not know what was going on but I still found something peculiar.
"What are those lumps of points?" I asked pointing at two lumps of multiple points right in the later part of the graph.
"Looks like you don’t know it yet. Well, this graph is data of your memories. The memories of the human brain are stored in the hippocampus which is situated at the front part of the cerebrum of the brain. We took the information from that and turned it into graph data and looks like we found something interesting," Ama said.
"Which means…"
"From the number of points we counted in the two lumps they might as well be the entire life memories of a person and even longer than a normal person," Ama said and my eyes widened.
So it was correct.
"Is there was a way to know at what time I got these memories?"
"You got it when you turned sixteen which means- "
"I got it when my blood started maturing. That is why I could converse with Ethan and Sarah this entire time," I said interrupting the two and they looked at me.
I started explaining to the two what I realized last night and they listened patiently.
"So you are saying that these two lumps of memories we are able to see are the memories of the first and the lord of the night?" Natsumi-san repeated confirming what I said and I nodded.
"Is there a way to find out what is in those memories?" I said and they tilted their head in confusion. "Didn’t you say technology is more advance than I think it is?"
"Now you are just overestimating us. We are only able to form a graph of the memories which also was a bit recently so I don’t think we would be able to do anything like what you are asking Kazuki-kun," Ama said and I let out a sigh.
"If we did, our work would have been a lot easier but looks like that idea has to drop," I said rubbing my temple. "Looks like I have to find a way to get information out of them but I doubt I would get much."
Sometimes, when I asked Ethan some things, he said that he could not remember what it was because of some reasons I am unaware of. I don’t really know how I am supposed to get everything out of them like this. I can get hints from what they say if I manipulate the conversation perfectly in my mind because even if I made them in my mindscapes, they had their own personality and consciousness in the mindscape. For some reason, that even looks like their true personality which had fooled me all this while.
Then how am I supposed to manipulate the conversation to get what I want from them? I think I need to figure that out the next time I enter my mindscape. I hope that things don’t mess up big time in there. They seem to remember what we talk about so if I mess up, I might never get anything from them ever again.
But how do I even have the memory of the lord of the night? I just have the first’s blood in me.
"Kazuki, Kazuki, stop daydreaming kid," Natsumi-san said smacking my head.
"Ouch, what was that for?" I said rubbing my head. "I was thinking something that was why I spaced out. There was no need to smack my head."
"You were not waking up, so I did not have any other option, don’t say anything to me about that," Natsumi-san said crossing her hands before her chest and Ama giggled.
"And…" I said looking at them. "Did you find anything interesting other than my memories?"
"About that…"
Ama went to another room and both I and Natsumi-san followed her as if it was the correct thing to do that time. We entered another room with even a bigger screen and lots of equipment there which I did not even know what to call. I did not want to touch anything around here because I am pretty sure I saw a flesh sample labeled "Noble vampire."
I don’t even want to know why it is labeled that way.
I obediently followed Ama and we stood behind her while she brought up many different things on the screen. It ranged from numeric data to even images of my x-ray and scans that were done on me yesterday and today.
"First take a look at this," Ama said and we both looked at where she was pointing and there were lots of numbers and I narrowed my eyes and noticed something.
"Isn’t that too much for a normal human being?" I blurted out and Ama nodded.
"Yes, for one, your RBC count is really high for any human but along with that, the same could be said about your WBC count," she said and brought forth my cell counts and that of a normal human. "For your cell counts, by just seeing, I don’t even know how they fit in your blood vessels. A normal human’s RBC count is from 4.7 to 6.1 million cells per microliter but your RBC cell count exceeds it a lot with being 11.23 million cells per microliter and I think now you know where I am going with this."
"This is almost twice as a normal human which should not be possible," Natsumi-san said.
"Exactly and your hemoglobin level in the cells is also really high for a human. That is why your blood is easily detectable by any vampire kilometers away from your position," Ama said.
"Wait, kilometers? Ai sa- oh…I see."
Ai said that my blood could have been smelled in the range of a hundred meters but she probably knew the truth back then. I know she is trying to make me not panic but lying and hiding stuff from me won’t do any good. That is probably why even if I never mentioned it, there was a peculiar smell in the house. I thought every house smells different which is why it was so.
Like Natsumi-san’s house reeks of alcohol all the time.
I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my head and I held it in pain. I looked up at the person who did it and she was narrowed her eyes.
"You were thinking something really rude, weren’t you kid?" Natsumi-san said.
Woman’s intuitions are scary.
"Back to the topic, even your WBC is count is almost twice and later we were able to understand how your blood vessels did not burst from the pressure of the blood flowing in it and how your plasma is able to hold it all properly in it," Ama said and changed the image of the screen. "Your blood vessels are much thicker than a human to withstand the pressure and your plasma is easily able to hold your excess number of cells. The most surprising fact is that- "
"It was recent," I said completing her sentence and she nods. "But how did you figure this out? The changes in my body are recent?"
"Oh, that is not too hard for us," she said and then leaned back on the table and I think her butt was on the keyboard because it was starting to type ’f’ over and over. "You see, when the human body undergoes any change in them, to do that some new cells and tissues need to be formed. In the same way, some need to be torn or removed. This happens slowly over time and we do not really realize it and we just backtracked the few cells we could find that underwent this removal and tracked them back. It was a wonder we could find some meaning these changes are a lot more recent than we think."
"Um…Ama, I think I need to tell you this now but you sent an email to James full of ’f’ in it," I said pointing at the screen as it changed the tabs and said sent.
Seeing that, Ama’s eyes widened and she got off the keyboard and quickly went through all the images and the data she had shown us before and let out a sigh of relief. She then turned around and jumped at me and if I did not catch, her she might have smashed her face on the table.
So I took the risk of catching her.
I might die from this but I can’t just let someone get hurt before me.
Ai is probably going to kill me if she finds out.
"Thank you so much Kazu-chan! You saved me," she said rubbing her cheek against mine. "If I did not notice this before then very important data would have been destroyed or might have even been sent to someone unauthorized."
Wait a minute.
"Kazu-chan?"
"This is what I am going to call you from now on," she said and buried my face in her big chest cutting off all the oxygen for me and I started struggling.
"Nat…sumi…san…help…" I said extending my arm and lucky she held it and pulled me away from Ama’s death hold.
But they were really soft.
"Stop trying to kill my little brother like this," Natsumi-san said and let go of me as I learned the true value of oxygen.
I took some deep breaths and when I was done enjoying taking oxygen in me and letting out the carbon dioxide, I looked back at the two. "Please, don’t do that ever again in the future," I said to Ama.
"I will try~"
"So, what about the mail you sent to James?" I asked her and she giggled.
"Oh don’t worry about it. He would probably be overjoyed to get a mail from me," she said placing her hand on her cheek and giggling.
I looked at Natsumi-san with a confused look on my face and she shook her head telling me not to ask anything. Well, I think I kind of understood what it was but I rather not say it out loud.
"He just has a little crush on me," Ama said part of my thoughts out. Looks like I was not completely right.

"I see, anyway, is there anything more you need to explain or tell me?"
"About that, I think you should be a lot more careful Kazu-chan. Due to such a high RBC and WBC cell count, your blood is a delicacy for vampires and I think now you know why they are all after you now. Your blood can make a critter as strong as a noble and if drunk by a noble…I think you know what I am trying to say here."
"I do."
Things just got a lot more clear and interesting now.
