CHAPTER 6- A day of shopping. Part 3.
"Welcome, Dreimo. And who is the lady that accompanies you? I didn't know you had a girlfriend."
"She is Yuik, a friend."
I took Yuik to the store where I buy all my clothes.
The owner of this store is an older woman in her 50s. She is very nice, and her husband is the guildmaster of this city.
"Yuik, you can take whatever you want, money is no problem."
"Ah... Ah…"
She tried to write, but I stopped her.
"No, I know what you will say. Don't worry, it's not a hassle. I want to buy your clothes, and money is not a problem, don't worry. You can take everything you want ... Mmm... I think I'll take some clothes too."
I don't need to, but I don't want her to feel uncomfortable. Maybe she thinks she is taking advantage of my kindness.
If I buy a lot of clothes, she won't feel too bad.
"I'll take this… And this… Also this... Not this, it's too small... This Yes… And this… And also this."
I left more than 30 items of clothing on the counter.
—… "Hey, Dreimo, aren't you exaggerating?"
"Hmmm… I don't think... I feel like it's too little clothing, but it's fine for now."
"Is your librarian salary enough?"
"Don't worry, I have enough money."
Someone put their hand on my head ... I recognize this huge hand.
"Fufu. I haven't seen you in a long time, Dreimo."
"Hello, Reik."
The guild master.
… Should I change my name to Dreimok? Everyone I know belongs to that religion.
… Even though I killed to ... Ah, I better not think about it.
"Be careful when you leave the city, a monster attacked the famous bandit group "Selcon" and killed them. The bandit leader was a famous former S-class adventurer, so the monster must be S-class ... Maybe a Demon King commander is still alive."
"Eh? Really?"
… Were those bandits famous? Shit, I didn't know, I just killed them out of habit ... And the leader was an S-class adventurer ?! Sooo disappointing. I killed him with one blow.
How strange... I'm sure I was only stronger than an Orc ... My magic power hasn't increased ... Did I miscalculate?
Well, it don't matter.
"You travel a lot, you must be careful."
"T-that monster must be terrifying ... I need to be careful."
"And why don't you request the protection of an adventurer?"
"I'd rather save money."
"I hope you don't regret that decision ... By the way, who is the girl? Your girlfriend?"
"She is my friend. Her name is Yuik."
I turned to my right and saw Yuik, choosing her clothes.
I made sure to put a soundproofing field around us. She didn't hear anything we said. It is best to prevent her from hearing about the bandits for some time. Hearing something about them will bring back bad memories.
I walked over to her and deactivated the soundproofing field.
"Hmmm…"
I took a dress and gave it to Yuik.
"I think this pink dress would look great on you ... Also this... And this…"
I started to take various clothes and put them in her hands.
"Do you want to try on your clothes?"
She nodded slowly and I smiled.
"The fitting room is behind you. I'll be waiting for you."
She entered the fitting room and I approached the guild master.
"Can you pay for it?"
"I can."
I took a bag of coins out of my pocket.
I took two gold coins out of the bag.
"I've already made the corresponding calculations. I can afford to buy everything."
"G-gold?"
"Dreimo ... How did you get so much money?"
"It is an inheritance from my late parents... She is my sister and she came to leave me my share of the inheritance ... She is mute and has trouble communicating with people, so she will live with me."
"Oh… I see... I am sorry."
A little lie. I don't want her to be investigated. If I say that she is the sister of a boring librarian like me, they will not be interested in knowing her past.

Yuik came out of the fitting room and quickly approached me.
"Did you like it?"
"Y-Yes... Yes."
"I already told you not to try so hard ... Huh?"
She... is scared... No… Surprised and confused ... Ah, the side effects have already happened.
"We will take all this with us. Later I will come to collect the clothes. Can you keep it in boxes?"
"Yeah, don't worry."
"Thanks. Let's go, Yuik."
We left the store and she was still nervous.
"Hey, don't worry, you're not a monster."
I turned to see her and smiled.
"I have wings too."
She looked at me confused.

We went into a restaurant and sat at the farthest table.
After ordering the food, I put up a soundproofing field.
"I already told you that I turned you into a Vampire. Vampires are immortal, but they can also give up their immortality after age 100. Every 100 years, Vampires have the opportunity to choose whether to remain immortal or not ... Yuik ... If I tell you my story, do you promise not to tell anyone?"
She wrote in the notebook: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
If I want her to trust me, I must tell her everything about myself.
I want to have a friend who trusts me and I trust that friend.
… And I also want a faithful friend, who does not betray me ... I want to know if she can become my best friend.
Besides, that I have turned her into a Vampire is something very strange for her. I do not want her to be afraid of me or distrust me ... If I want to earn her trust, I must tell her my story so that she does not think I am a demon.
"Did you know that the Demon King was defeated?"
She said yes and wrote: "The hero Dreimo defeated him."
"Why do you think my name is Dreimo and I was able to turn you into a Vampire?"
—…
She fell silent and began to tremble.
"Ah... Ah…"
She tried to write, but her hand was shaking.
She finally managed to write and wrote: "Are you the hero Dreimo?"
I don't want to have secrets from her. I want to get her trust ... I promised myself that she would be happy, and that's what I will do.
I used illusion magic so that other clients wouldn't see what I'm about to do.
"People can't see what I'm going to do, they can only see that I'm talking."
I canceled the transformation magic and returned to my normal form.
"My name is Dreimo, the hero who defeated the Demon King."
She didn't stop staring at me in surprise.
I returned to my new form and smiled nervously.
"I lost 99% of my power when I defeated him, so now I'm a normal person… Well, I'm still strong, but not as strong as before ... Please don't treat me differently ... I want to be a normal human ... I want to live a calm and happy life ... Could you treat me like a normal human?"
She nodded quickly ... Ahh... She is very nervous.
—… "Please continue to treat me as a friend... Don't treat me like someone superior ... I hated when people knelt before me ... I just want a normal and quiet life."
I extended my hand and smiled.
"I introduce myself again. My name is Dreimo, I am a boring librarian and I like to read. Nice to meet you, Miss Yuik."
She took me by the hand.
"Y-Yuik."
"It's my pleasure, Yuik. I hope we can be great friends."
She nodded.
I hope this doesn't change our relationship.

A little girl is observing Dreimo and Yuik through a magic mirror.
She is sitting on the floor of a white room, eating a chocolate bar.
She has completely pink eyes, long pink hair, and wears a black dress with figured eyes. Wear some gold bracelets ... And the strangest thing is that she is barefoot, but she wears shoes on her hands.
"Mmm... That was disappointing. I thought he would keep it a secret for longer... But knowing Dreimo's personality, it was obvious that he would tell her to prevent her from mistrusting him for his ability ... Although I hoped he would tell her later and not so soon."
Two angels appeared beside her and knelt.
"Supreme Goddess, the Gods keep complaining."
"They don't want that human to be alive."
"Mmm... I see..."
She snapped her fingers and more than 7 Gods appeared beside her.
"Supreme goddess ?!"
They all knelt down.
"I told them my decision wouldn't change, but they kept complaining. Disappear."
The Gods began to turn to dust.
"Don't do it, please!"
"Sorry!"
"We made a mistake!"
"It won't happen again!"
"I don't want useless Gods."
They all turned to dust and disappeared.
"Dreimo, you are the most interesting human I have ever met. Don't bore me with your new adventure."- She said smiling.
