章 400: Clues

"You see, people like us tend to drink the blood of somebody they treasure. This is why we could live in hiding this entire time since we do not necessarily have to drink a random person's blood. If we take the blood of somebody we treasure, that is enough to satisfy our blood lust, so we can live like a normal person without getting any cravings. But if we drink from somebody, we treasure it also means we can read their thoughts."

At some point in Yuhi's explanation, Sumire became very embarrassed; her cheeks turned red. Wait--wait a minute, does that mean he can see what she is thinking? Oh no, no that-- her thoughts broke off when Yuhi grabbed her arm.

"That is why even if you don't tell me, I can tell you are fond of me. That is why I can tolerate everything."

What--what is that supposed to be? If he says stuff like that, then how is she supposed to? She felt a familiar feeling on her lips and froze on the spot.
