The Delicate Female Lead Only Wants to be Loved by the Villainous Young Ladies

Unlike Adele, who was carefree and relaxed, in other areas of the Secret Realm, many vampires were already fighting over resources.
Even former acquaintances or good friends…

Could quickly become backstabbers in this lawless land.
The first to leave the Secret Realm were naturally the weaker, low-ranking vampires who tried to take advantage of the situation, hoping to gain at least one piece of Blood Essence, two would be a huge profit.
They were often easily eliminated by stronger vampire girls.

There were also a few troublesome ones who shed their disguises and, despite their low Sequence, challenged and even defeated higher-ranking vampires.
Inside the underground palace, eliminated girls appeared on the teleportation circle, some trembling in disbelief.
Perhaps because of betrayal by friends or relatives.

Perhaps because they were ambushed and eliminated by low-ranking vampires they had once looked down on, filled with regret.
Or perhaps… because they encountered monsters.
These monsters weren’t just the magical creatures or the legendary gray fog creatures that lived in the Secret Realm.

They could also refer to…
“Wolf… wolf!”
A girl cried out incoherently, her face pale with terror.

The last memory imprinted in her mind about the Secret Realm…
Was a bloody claw and a pair of fierce, deep blue eyes.
Like… a real wolf!

She kept clutching her chest, panicking, although this action seemed somewhat indecent and strange in the eyes of others.
But the girl didn’t care about that anymore.
She was just dazed, feeling both lucky and terrified.

Where was the scar? Shouldn’t her heart have been ripped out…?
She really thought she was going to die.
The pain was real.
In fact, this vampire girl had indeed encountered a near-fatal attack.

But the magic mark bestowed upon her by the True Ancestor blocked the damage and judged her eliminated, teleporting her out of the Secret Realm.
At the same time, inside the Secret Realm…
A girl in a loose hoodie, her long ash-gray hair cascading down, was silently looking at her hand, which had returned to normal.

Pale, slender, calloused, but not something that would be associated with “deadly.”
But just moments ago, her fingertips had extended into indestructible claws, wild and ferocious, almost tearing out the heart of a vampire girl who had once bullied her.
The recent scar on Wofoo’s face was thanks to that girl, simply because she found Wofoo’s fear of fire amusing, it satisfied her and her companion’s cruel sense of humor.

Wolves were afraid of fire, or rather, all beasts were afraid of fire.
So the girl used a burning dagger to cut Wofoo’s face.
If Wofoo hadn’t dodged in time, a piece of her flesh might have been sliced off.

But what made Wofoo truly hate the girl…
Was because Adele had noticed the scar.
And Adele had shown a worried expression.

Wofoo didn’t want Adele to worry about her.
She didn’t want Adele to show a distressed expression…
For someone like her.

This was what made Wofoo the saddest.
And it was all thanks to that girl.
So when Wofoo entered the Secret Realm and smelled the scent of that vampire girl, not far from her…

She started struggling mentally, should she… or shouldn’t she…?
The girl hesitated for a long time. Finally, a fierce glint appeared in her eyes, replacing her usual timidity.
She had made up her mind to go all the way.

And it wasn’t just about hunting down the vampire girl who had hurt her.
There were many others, the debts they owed her, in this cruel Secret Realm where there was almost no interference, a pure “survival of the fittest,” Wofoo would make them all pay.
The free environment awakened the wildness in Wofoo’s bones.

She no longer hid her true strength, her body transforming into a berserker state.
Wofoo became a ferocious predator lurking in the shadows.
And the jungle she was in was her home ground.

As expected, when the girl discovered a piece of Blood Essence and let down her guard in her excitement, Wofoo seized the opportunity, her claws tearing into the girl’s chest.
Wofoo was certain that her claws had tasted blood and felt the thrill of tearing flesh.
But in the end, the magic power from the True Ancestor protected the girl, and all Wofoo got was a “real” illusion.

She originally thought that she could actually kill someone in the Secret Realm…
But now it seemed that the True Ancestors didn’t intend to let the young vampires kill each other, to waste their young blood.
All Wofoo got were the vampire girl’s points.

And she had completely exposed her rebellious nature.
Wofoo deactivated her berserker state and stood there silently for a long time.
“…There’s no turning back now.”

“Then, let’s continue.”
She murmured, her eyes filled with determination.
Wofoo took the Blood Essence that originally belonged to the vampire girl.

She held the beautiful, crimson crystal in her hand, playing with it and admiring it.
In this process, Wofoo’s eyes turned scarlet and greedy, she realized that she needed it, her body craved it, every drop of her blood was clamoring and boiling.
The next moment, Wofoo channeled her magic power, and the Blood Essence instantly turned into pure blood element and merged into her body.

Instantly, a wonderful sensation swept through her body and mind.
That satisfaction, that comfort, even her soul and spirit seemed to be nourished, her bloodline became stronger, and it started to remove some useless impurities.
Just by tasting this feeling, any vampire would become a desperate addict.

Wofoo would become a greedy beast.
She understood the true meaning of the Secret Realm earlier than other vampires.
Survival of the fittest.

From now on, her only goal was to kill, there was no need to pretend anymore.
Whether it was to vent her anger, take revenge, or simply to gain points, to eliminate unfamiliar vampires…
Wofoo wanted to obtain more Blood Essence.

She also wanted to reach the depths of the Secret Realm.
As for Adele…
Wofoo’s eyes dimmed.

To be honest, she didn’t want Adele to see her like this.
………………
But sometimes, the more you didn’t want something to happen, the more likely it was to happen.

Before Wofoo could even celebrate finding a safe haven in the Secret Realm…
A familiar fragrance drifted over, making her freeze in place.
It was like… the scent of a girl that she remembered deeply!

The warm and captivating fragrance she had briefly enjoyed.
Wofoo’s heart pounded, and she quickly hid behind a nearby obstacle, an unknown tree concealing her figure.
There… shouldn’t be such a coincidence.

The werewolf hybrid tried to convince herself, but the innocent and carefree girl who appeared in her field of vision, wasn’t it Adele… who else could it be!?
Adele was too unaware of the dangers, she didn’t even realize that after entering the Secret Realm, there was no one to protect her anymore.
And she didn’t realize that any vampire she encountered here could be her enemy.

Although Adele’s points as a Sequence Five were very low, even mosquito meat was still meat, and Adele’s points weren’t as low as mosquito legs.
She was at least a little white rabbit.
And now, this pure and innocent little white rabbit was exposed to the wolf’s gaze.

Wofoo’s murderous intent, which had been burning, cooled down because of Adele’s appearance.
“…”
But now that she had encountered Adele, it was difficult for Wofoo to just ignore her, to not care about her safety.

She didn’t know whether to say Adele was lucky or extremely unlucky.
The reason she said Adele was lucky was because after entering the Secret Realm, unlike other vampires who were sent to harsh environments…
She had temporarily occupied this paradise-like pure land, with clean water, abundant food, and plenty of Blood Essence.

She was truly a chosen girl.
But the problem was precisely this.
It was also the reason why Wofoo thought Adele was extremely unlucky.

That was, “A man of virtue attracts no attention, but a man of wealth attracts much.”
Wofoo didn’t know Adele well, at most, she had inquired about some information about Adele from third parties in the past few days.
There were many inaccuracies, and Wofoo didn’t have the opportunity or courage to ask Adele directly to confirm or correct them.

Therefore, Wofoo only knew that Adele was a Sequence Five girl who had somehow “charmed” several Sequence Ones, including the Princess and the Ice Queen Hermione, making them willingly serve her.
Hearing such rumors, Wofoo really wanted to refute them.
Adele didn’t use any “charm,” she must have moved those powerful vampire girls with her sincerity.

As for why Wofoo was so certain… it was because she herself was one of the girls attracted by Adele’s sincerity and kindness.
Of course, the strength and technique of Adele’s ear-touching… were also very comfortable.
God knows where the girl learned it from, anyway, that experience in the bathroom at the ball made Wofoo toss and turn for several nights.

And that was just touching her ears, if Adele touched other places…
Wofoo was really worried that she would completely fall, becoming a slave to pleasure.
Setting aside this information, what was truly important was that Adele wasn’t actually that strong.

Everyone said so, that she was just a freeloader, a sweetheart.
And her Sequence and mixed-blood status also seemed to prove this.
So Wofoo felt that Adele landing in this area wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

Using a concept that Wofoo wasn’t familiar with…
The pure land Adele was currently in was the so-called “safe zone.”
Those vampires who were unlucky enough to land in dangerous areas would inevitably flee from those places and come to where Adele was.

Soon, Adele would face vampires with different abilities and magic power, but all of them were her enemies.
Battles between vampires would constantly erupt here.
With Adele’s abilities, if she was caught in the crossfire, she might be quickly eliminated.

The girl’s carefree days would come to an abrupt end.
Adele would be terrified, hurt, and in pain.
Just imagining that scene made Wofoo clench her teeth.

It seemed that her path to becoming a vampire killer had to be put on hold.
Now, she couldn’t just ignore Adele.
So the only thing she could do was protect her.

Adele wouldn’t know any of this, she wouldn’t know how lucky she was.
As soon as she entered the Secret Realm, she arrived at what was practically the final destination.
Or maybe it wasn’t luck.

But destiny.
And if someone had the ability to fly and could reach the highest point of the Secret Realm, a place high enough to overlook the entire space…
Perhaps she would be shocked to find…

That the pure land was actually slowly moving with Adele.
Wherever the girl stepped, infinite vitality was released by the Secret Realm, vegetation growing wildly, flowers blooming in her footsteps.
The conditions in other areas were harsh, as if all of it was to nourish the vibrant life in the area where Adele was.

But in Adele’s mind, she just thought this was a normal start.
She even felt an “itch to fight.”
She really wanted to encounter a strong opponent around Sequence Two level to test the results of her hard work in learning magic these days.

If she couldn’t win, she would activate her witch form, whether to continue fighting or flap her little wings and run away, that was another story.
As for Wofoo’s presence…
Forgive Adele for not having the terrifying sense of smell and hearing of a werewolf.

She didn’t notice anything at all, making Wofoo, who was watching her in secret, anxious.
So, how could such a natural and innocent Adele be the kind of enchantress who captivated everyone?
Adele had been walking for half a day, she didn’t find any vampires, but she did see a lot of small animals in the Secret Realm.

Little white rabbits, little white lambs, little white chickens… it made her mouth water.
“I’m hungry, let’s have some meat!”
“Rabbits are so cute, let’s start with… the little white chicken next to you!”

Adele cast an “Avada Kedavra” spell and killed the little chicken that was looking for insects in the grass not far away.
Why did she choose the chicken, not other small animals?
Don’t ask, she just didn’t have any “drumsticks,” she wanted to eat chicken feet!

Of course, it was also because chicken was safer and easier to cook.
There was no need to elaborate on what happened next, soon, Adele used the magic Celeste taught her to light a bonfire and started roasting… chicken.
This scene made Wofoo, who was watching from afar, speechless.

While others were participating in a battle royale in the Secret Realm, Adele was playing a wilderness survival adventure game.
But seeing Adele’s carefree appearance, Wofoo’s heart felt strangely healed, even her murderous intent subsided a lot.
Originally, in this Secret Realm, Wofoo should have become a killer hiding in the shadows, a true “werewolf player.”

But now, this “werewolf player,” for Adele’s sake, had become a “guardian”!
But as the roasted chicken cooked, the aroma spread, and for Wofoo, with her keen sense of smell, it was truly torturous… wolf-like.
Endure… endure!

Protecting Adele was far more important than a roasted chicken!
And she had a big appetite, Adele should be the kind of girl who would share everything she had.
Adele didn’t even know how wonderful she was in Wofoo’s eyes.

But in reality…
If Adele had a cake, she might share half of it with you.
If Adele had a cake, she might secretly eat it and then “starve” with you.

If Adele had a cake, she might eat it all and then cry to you that she was still hungry!
After all, she was a cute little drama queen.
A person’s personality and behavior weren’t set in stone.

That’s why being with Adele was so interesting.
She wasn’t a girl who could be easily understood.
And she wasn’t a girl who could be easily… you know!

Adele watched the grease dripping from the roasted chicken, sizzling on the fire, her mouth watering.
Compared to searching for the precious Blood Essence that could transform a vampire, Adele was wasting her time roasting chicken. Just from this, she was an outlier among vampires.
Vampires could maintain their vitality for a long time without eating, but Adele preferred the warmth of three meals a day…

Wait, the “three” in “three meals a day”… didn’t have any strange implications!
Soon, the roasted chicken was finally done, and Adele, ignoring the heat, started to devour it.
There was no concept of day and night in the Secret Realm, but there were changes in weather, just that Adele didn’t feel them very clearly.

As an eastward wind blew, a girl appeared on the horizon, within Adele’s sight.
Wofoo quietly clenched her fists, ready to rush out to protect Adele if the situation turned bad.
But to her surprise, the expression on Adele’s face… seemed a bit eager?

Did she see it wrong?
Or did Adele really have the intention to challenge the other girl?
No matter what, Wofoo decided to observe from the shadows.

Because only in this way could she achieve a surprise attack.
Even an opponent stronger than her could be defeated due to carelessness.
It was an unfamiliar vampire girl who had just experienced a battle. Her originally tied-up black hair had come loose, her light golden eyes staring at Adele like a predator eyeing its prey.

It could be seen that her skirt was stained with the blood of her own kind.
And the expression on her face had become crazed and greedy.
She had lost her innocence.

Anyone who had experienced the trials of blood and fire would inevitably grow up, gradually becoming mature and eventually independent.
So the Blood Trial was a way for the True Ancestors to “force the growth” of the younger generation of vampires.
To let them experience the cruelty of reality and the adult world in advance.

Although it was a time of peace now, the world was always in turmoil, no one could say for sure what kind of disasters or powerful enemies the vampires would face in the next ten, twenty, or even a hundred years.
Instead of letting these young vampires, who had been raised in schools like innocent little rabbits, pay the price of serious injuries or even their lives to gain experience and maturity in the future…
It was better to let them hone themselves in the Blood Trial in advance and experience the feeling of “being killed” and “killing” others.

Like werewolves, vampires also needed to see blood to transform.
But for werewolves, it wasn’t called transformation, it was called “going berserk.”
“Hmph, it seems that I’m completely underestimated.”

Adele muttered sarcastically, a disturbing smile playing on her lips.
It was no wonder that the other girl completely underestimated Adele, seeing her as easy prey, another target for points.
Adele’s record ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ was currently blank, and not all the vampire girls who returned to Twilight City were from Cromwell Academy, they also came from other schools, and a large portion of them were from the pure-blood vampire academies in Twilight City.

In this case, they would naturally judge a vampire’s strength based on their Sequence.
They didn’t know about Adele’s title of “Strongest Sequence Five.”
Or rather, even if they did, they wouldn’t care, they would even scoff at it.

After all, a Sequence Five was a Sequence Five.
A wolf was a wolf, a sheep was a sheep.
No one could change the predator-prey relationship between them.

But Adele wasn’t a sheep.
If you had to say, she was… a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
The unfamiliar girl approached Adele, her heart filled with excitement.

She was still fantasizing about occupying this area after eliminating Adele, first systematically searching and taking all the Blood Essence in this area.
Then hiding and waiting for other vampires to arrive, continuously hunting them down until she encountered an unbeatable monster or a truly powerful opponent.
One hundred steps, fifty steps, twenty steps…

The distance between them was finally only ten steps.
The unfamiliar vampire girl spoke in a normal voice, loud enough for Adele to hear.
“Adele, is it? You’re quite famous.”

“Your reputation precedes you~”
“It’s said that you have sweet blood that no vampire can resist, that’s your ability.”
“Haha, what a ridiculous ability, as if… you were born to be blood food for us high-ranking vampires.”

A glint of scarlet flashed in her eyes.
Adele put on a timid and cowering expression.
“You… what are you going to do…”

If Wofoo hadn’t seen Adele’s confident and smug expression before this…
She would have definitely been fooled by Adele’s disguise.
“Nothing, I can’t afford to offend the people you’re associated with.”

The girl was self-aware.
But it was still a pity, who wouldn’t want to taste the sweet blood of such a beautiful and delicate girl?
But the thought of Adele complaining to Princess Dorothy after leaving the Secret Realm… made her immediately give up on this idea.

“I’ll just follow the rules.”
“Take your points and send you, the weakling, out of this Secret Realm where countless fierce battles are about to erupt.”
“I advise you to use the magic power left by the True Ancestor and teleport out of the Secret Realm yourself.”

“Otherwise, if you insist on being my enemy, I can’t guarantee that I’ll be gentle~”
“Beautiful little Adele—!”
The girl’s words abruptly stopped as she confidently approached Adele within three steps.

A silver light flashed, and before she could even see what happened…
Her body started to become illusory, as if she was about to disappear from this world.
At the same time, an intense, mental pain bloomed in her soul.

Making her scream miserably.
— “Ah!!”
And behind her, Adele, striking a pose like a wandering swordsman, sheathed her “sword” in the air.

Actually, she just tucked her hand into the folds of her skirt.
Don’t ask, she just looked cool.
Before her body completely disappeared from the Secret Realm, the vampire girl, whose strength was roughly at the upper level of Sequence Three, reached out towards Adele’s back with resentment.

“Why—!”
Unfortunately, she was destined to leave with regret.
But even though she was facing thin air, Adele still decided to complete her act.

“Want to know how you died? Then I’ll be merciful and tell you.”
“This is the ‘Kitty Paw Strike, Flashing Secret Art’!”
“Comprehended by Master First Snow when she was troubled by mosquitoes in the summer. In an instant, the cat’s paw strikes, silver light flashes, mosquitoes are decapitated, their wings scattered, and the kitty can finally sleep soundly.”

To put it simply, this girl, in order to kill mosquitoes, actually used the highest level of spatial laws!
Although it didn’t reach the level of “short-distance teleportation,” this move, by imbuing the body with spatial elements, could instantly increase one’s speed to an imperceptible level.
It was like disappearing and reappearing.

Combined with the magic-enhanced “Kitty Paw Strike,” it could often achieve a surprise victory.
Adele didn’t have cat paws, but she could enchant her hand blade.
It was easy to deal with an unsuspecting Sequence Three vampire.

Now, the vampire girl’s points were added to Adele’s.
Adele, first blood!
