Vampire's Slice Of Life

"Your Highness, I think we should help them."

Lith looked at Dennis in confusion.

Understanding Lith's confusion, Dennis continued, "hear me out first."

"What is it?" Lith couldn't help but ask.

Even Ralph was the same and was looking at Dennis in confusion.

Dennis cleared his throat and said, "Your Highness, we should go somewhere private. I'll tell you a few things. Everyone, please excuse us."

Dennis left with Lith and Ralph after saying so and arrived in some secluded region.

"Why did you bring us here?" Ralph asked.

Dennis replied, "Ralph, you don't understand. The anime and manga market is too big. Plus, those beastkins have a patent for that art style and nobody else can copy it. If by any chance, they get wiped out, we won't be able to get any more new shows or comics."

"Yeah, so? How does it matter? Why should we help them with this?" Ralph put out Lith's thoughts.

Looking at how Ralph didn't get things, Dennis turned to Lith and said, "Your Highness, you watch anime too, right? Tell Ralph how amazing it is and how it has a lot of potential even in the future."

Lith didn't say anything to Ralph, instead, he asked Dennis, "by any chance… Dennis, is it your wish to save those beastkins despite the advantages and disadvantages in doing it?"

"Eh?" Dennis was caught by surprise.

Lith could make out that Dennis simply wanted to clear out those people's troubles and have them focus on other things. While in the academy, Dennis loved Japanese food as well as anime and comics. It wouldn't be a surprise that he would want to help them so that these things don't get discontinued.

"You don't want to lose anime and comics, do you?" Lith asked.

Dennis made an awkward smile and scratching his head, he said, "Hehe… that's right. How could you tell, Your Highness?"

"Idiot, it's clearly written on your face." Ralph chimed in and said.

"What? Is it? Where?"

"Stay quiet." Ralph became annoyed.

Lith rubbed his temples as he realized what he was thinking was right. Dennis really just wanted to help the beastkins for the sake of ramen and anime. Although it wasn't a bad thing, it would mean Lith had to go out to another continent and solve the troubles of others.

It seemed like a hassle.

Dennis then continued, "although it is my personal preference, you both should know that the revenue generated by anime and manga is a lot. You know, we can become partners or something there and have huge profit shares. It's not a totally bad thing."

Hearing this, Ralph couldn't help but reply, "the revenue from anime and manga won't even match with how much your parents make in a year. Helping the beastkins would be too much work for us and not to mention, there would be risks involved as well. We may also end up losing our lives."

"Oh, come on… you're exaggerating. It won't be that difficult." Dennis commented.

While these two bickered, Lith was thinking, 'well… seems like Dennis won't back out. He loves anime a bit too much and I guess he wouldn't want it to be harmed. But other than Dennis's feelings, I think I have some emotional connection with anime as well.'

'Arya and I, we both used to watch anime together while being in the same blanket. Those wholesome nights where we enjoyed each other's warmth and snuggled closer in the same blanket, they sure were nice.'

'Although same thing could be achieved by watching normal movies or TV shows, if it doesn't take a lot of effort, I should probably help them. Not to mention there's money present in it as well. If more and more people watch anime everyday, an even greater revenue would be generated.'

'Hmm… There's also the need to find a solution to the Ying Yang Vīrya Sutra. I definitely need to travel around to look for things related to it and can't just sit at home and get it delivered to me. Even mom has no idea how to change things in it or knows a lot about it. If even she doesn't know, chances are, nobody else would know about it either.'

'Alright then. It's decided. I'll go look for things that might help me modify the art and also help the beastkins in the meanwhile. There's nothing for me to lose there and just things available to gain. The only thing it may cost is my time and energy.'

'Speaking of time, I do have a lot of it on my hand. After become a Saint Rank, my lifespan would be never ending.'

Other than going on a date with his wives, Lith had nothing else to do currently. There were no other matters present.

He had goals to absorb all the energy inside his body and ascend to Half Saint Rank. He would probably do that within a year. After his ascension, there were just dates with his wives present and after his dates, he had nothing else to do other than modify the art.

Lith snapped out of thoughts after a bit and saw Dennis and Ralph still bickering.

Lith cleared his throat and said, "stop it, you two."

Ralph and Dennis stopped talking and looked at Lith.

Dennis said, "Your Highness, Ralph just doesn't agree that anime is very good. I am tired of explaining it to him."

"There's more important things to do other than constantly wondering about anime." Ralph added.

"Alright, alright. I get your points. I've made my decision so calm yourselves down, you two." Lith didn't want to see them bicker once again.

"You did?" Dennis asked again.

Lith nodded. "We'll help the beastkins."

"We will."

"Yes."

"Damn!" Dennis exclaimed.

Ralph looked at Lith and couldn't help but ask, "what's with the sudden change?"

Lith cleared his throat and answered, "I have some work in the Elven Continent and I thought, why not just help those guys while I am there? I'll end up getting some good money as well."

"I see." Ralph said calmly. "But there will be risks in doing so. The risks being you may end up losing your life."

"It's alright. I have my means." Lith said with assurance.

"If you say so…"

The three discussed more on this topic and finally after being done, they went to the beastkins and agreed upon their requests but gave them many conditions and clauses.

They had a discussion with those people for a quite long while and at the end, it was decided that Lith would help them but they would need to provide benefits to him, to which the beastkins agreed.

The trio then parted their ways with the beastkins after telling them that he'll meet them straight in the Elven Continent now.

After parting ways with them, Lith parted ways with Ralph and Dennis as well and was now on his way back home.

While things were calm and peaceful on Lith's side, the same wasn't the case in the Lenz Tower, that is, the headquarters of the CNC.

"What!? He did what!?"
