Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 549 Never Got To Graduate

Ten minutes passed.

Inside Emiliaʼs office.

Lithʼs torture session was over. He was now sitting in front of the sofa, cross-legged on the ground. There was a pair of long, smooth, and soft legs wrapped around his waist.

These belonged to Lithʼs wife, Emilia, who was sitting on the sofa, just behind him, and was massaging his head.

While moving her fingers gently on Lithʼs head, Emilia asked, with a gentle expression, ”Did I take things too far?”

She was now starting to regret torturing her husband so cruelly. She shouldnʼt have fed him the garlic bread, she thought.

Lith, who had his eyes closed and was enjoying himself get squished by his wifeʼs thick legs while getting a head massage, laid back on Emiliaʼs lap and looking her in the eyes, said with a smile,

”Yes. Now please take responsibility by giving me a kiss.”

Emilia rolled her eyes. Okay, maybe what she did wasnʼt so bad after all. Her husband was still as shameless as he could be.

Emilia held Lithʼs head and made it get back to the previous upright position. She then continued to massage him. It was obvious, she wouldnʼt do what Lith had asked her.

”What? Not taking responsibility?” Lith joked, while having his eyes be closed and getting massaged.

”No, thank you. I am good.” Emilia replied.

Lith chuckled. He then asked, ”by the way, when is the ceremony starting?”

As Emilia heard that, she momentarily stopped massaging Lithʼs head. She then thought, ʼOh no, I almost forgot about it…ʼ

It wasnʼt that Emilia would forget things. It was just that she had many things going on in her mind and things regarding the ceremony got suppressed.

Emilia checked the time and noticed that there was still fifteen minutes left for the ceremony.

”Thereʼs fifteen minutes. I need to prepare things. Your friends have arrived as well, you can go to the auditorium with them and wait.” Emilia stopped massaging Lithʼs head and said while starting to style it instead.

Lithʼs hair had become messy from the head massage and he didnʼt look proper.

Lith nodded. He then chuckled and said, ”But I can only leave when you let me, right?”

”Itʼll take just a minute.” Emilia replied, as she tied Lithʼs hair into a bun.

After she was done styling him and fixing his messy appearance, she made him get up and corrected his clothes.

Lith smiled as he watched her do these things. There was no need for such things but these little gestures, they really warmed Lithʼs heart and made him feel that it sure was amazing to get married.

After Emilia was done she was about to part ways with Lith but before she could do it, Lith held her waist and brought her close to him.

Emilia was about to say that she was getting late and that Lith shouldnʼt do anything naughty right now. But it was too late as her lips were already sealed by Lithʼs.

Lith gave her a warm and loving kiss. Not the usual passionate and lewd one.

Emilia noticed it and was surprised. But most importantly, she became happy after being kissed.

Lith broke the kiss and before letting her go, he kissed her forehead and said, ”Iʼll see you later.”

He then let her go and looked at her, awaiting her response.

Emilia had a blush on her face, not because of embarrassment, but because of the wholesome and happy feeling she had in her after being kissed like that.

Though she kept it in her and simply flashed a small smile. She then waved her hand and said, ”see you soon.”

Lith nodded and left the room.

After he was gone, Emilia, with all smiles, went on to do her work as well and began with the last minute preparations of the ceremony.

…..

Cafeteria, Main building.

”Damn, itʼs still as tasty as ever!” Dennis said as he popped in a few pieces of karage in his mouth and chewed on them.

Ralph, sipping on a chocolate milkshake and feeling the nostalgic flavour hit him, didnʼt correct Dennisʼs manner by saying he shouldnʼt talk while eating food.

He was now pretty much numb to all of Dennisʼs informality and also tired of always correcting him.

Ralph simply nodded his head and didnʼt comment anything more on it.

Dennis then put the fried chicken bowl away and took the big ramen bowl and started slurping on the noodles like a demon from the Gluttony Sin.

His slurping caused the soup to splatter on his mouth and also at the sides.

Ralph knitted his brows as this happened. Although he was numb to most of the things, this was still too much inelegance and informality.

”Canʼt you eat like a normal person?” Ralph asked.

”Nom.. Nom… Nom…arl Pernso?” Dennis asked, chewing on the slightly firm noodles.

A vein popped on Ralphʼs head. ʼThis idiot…ʼ

Day by day, Dennis was becoming too unruly and stupid.

Ralph was about to say something when he was interrupted by a voice:

”Sup boys.”

Ralph turned towards the source, only to find Lith walking towards him and Dennis.

”Youm Haimnness?” Dennis, with food still in his mouth, asked.

Ralph gave Dennis a disgusted look as he heard that and his attention was pulled away from Lith.

As for Dennis, he was continuing to look at Lith while eating his ramen.

Lith reached their table and sat with them. He then asked, ”Is there something, Dennis?”

Dennis was staring as he walked and was still doing it. Lith thus asked that.

Dennis, putting the bowl of ramen down, said to Lith with a smile, ”It suits you, Your Highness.”

”What suits me?” Lith asked, not understanding.

Dennis pointed towards Lithʼs head and said, ”That. Your hairstyle.”

Ralph, hearing that, turned to look at Lith, only to see that Lith indeed had a new hairstyle.

Lith had two strands of bangs at the sides of his forehead with most of his hair being tied in a bun. Some remaining strands were falling freely from the bun and although it seemed like a rough appearance, it appeared formal and made Lith look dashing.

Lith had no idea how his hair was looking since he hadnʼt checked it. But getting a compliment for it made him smile.

ʼMy Emmy sure did a good job, it seems. I am a lucky man.ʼ Lith thought and became happy.

Lith then nodded his head and said, ”I see. Your hairstyle looks good as well. Hmm, but your appearance…”

Lith stared at the food spilled on Dennisʼs face and continued, ”...not so much, I guess.”

”Itʼs fine, itʼs fine.” Dennis chuckled and shook his hand.

”It isnʼt fine.” Ralph added. Seriously, when will Dennis learn that he had to be responsible.

”Well, well, letʼs not get things heated here. We have a ceremony to attend. I only just visited you guys because we need to hurry. The ceremony is going to begin soon.”

”What!? Shit, I must hurry then!” Dennis said and started stuffing the food in front of him like a glutton.

Ralph was once again disgusted but he didnʼt say anything to Dennis as Lith was here now.

He distracted himself by talking to Lith as Dennis ate.

After Dennis was done he slammed the bowl on the table and said, ”Done! Letʼs go!”

Lith chuckled looking at the playful Dennis and along with Ralph, the three left the cafeteria and headed to the auditorium.

*

The trio reached the auditorium and the ceremony began.

It wasnʼt anything unusual and was just a normal graduation ceremony like how it was back on Earth.

There were people singing, dancing, crying, and saying their final goodbyes to the academy.

It was a joyous and an emotional event.

Ralph and Dennis felt nostalgic as they remembered their days, but as for Lith, he was a bit different than them.

He remembered the days of his previous life.

In his previous life, he had finished high school and later got into a good university.

But just after he was done with the first year of uni and was on his way back home, a plane crash took his life.

He thus never got to graduate in his past life and it was funny knowing how he didnʼt graduate in this life as well.

This didnʼt make him sad, but rather brought a smile on his face.

As he watched the emotions of the kids and his two friends, he could only wonder how it would feel to graduate.

Guess there were some things in life that Lith would never get to experience.
