Vampire's Slice Of Life

Celadon City had a firework show every night for the tourists. But the place where it was being held was far away from Sakura Mito. It was also crowded with tourists and hence, Lith decided to have his own small firework show.

He asked Luna to get some fireworks for him and she handed him a single shell. Though Lith had no idea how a single shell would provide a great show, he trusted Luna and didn't question her about it.

He would see for himself how it would be and he was doing just that.

Fireworks in this world worked on various different mechanisms with the simplest yet the most efficient one being lighting up shells inscribed with magic circles.

All one had to do was activate the magic circle and the shell would fire up into the sky.

The more complex the circle, the better the show.

It took some time for Lith to activate the magic circle and once it finished, Lith saw the shell's magic circle rise from its bottom towards the top.

Lith immediately used Short Jump and moved away from the shell.

In the next instance…

ZWIP!

Fuusssshhhhh…

BOOM!

Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!

The sky lit up as fireworks began exploding one after another.

The ground where Lith was with his mother also appeared to brighten up and as Lith looked at the various explosions occurring in the sky, he couldn't help but be amazed.

Lith was in awe with the view he had. 

At the start, it was just a few colors exploding but in just a few instances, a huge area in the sky was filled with nothing but more and more colorful explosions.

Lith's pale face and his hair shined with the colorful hues of the bright sky filled with thousands of explosions and noticing this, Lilith who was standing at his side couldn't help but flash a gentle smile.

Lith's awe-struck expression was something she could never get enough of. It was really fun watching her child be amazed at little things such as these.

Lith commended Luna internally for giving himself such a good experience. Fireworks in this world were nothing like those from Earth. There was no pollution here or any need to fire shells filled with gunpowder one after another. It was simply activating one magic circle and you would have a great show for yourself.

The explosions kept occuring and there didn't seem to be ending anytime soon.

Lith's gaze shifted from the sky towards his mother and he noticed her looking at him with a loving smile on her face.

Lith smiled back and walked towards her. He held her hand and asked while looking towards the fireworks, "it's amazing, isn't it?"

Lilith nodded and looked towards the fireworks. Despite sending out such a response, to her, nothing felt more amazing than watching her children do their things and partaking in those things.

Lilith enjoyed watching Lith's reaction more than she enjoyed watching the fireworks itself. However, she didn't say this to Lith and simply watched them with him.

They both sat on the ground on a mat and continued to gaze at the fireworks. Lilith hugged Lith from behind and they didn't say anything until an hour or so until the firework show finally came to an end.

Lith still was amazed by the fact that just a single cracker could end up giving such a show. Though he enjoyed it, he fell back in his mother's embrace and looked up to see her face and how her expression was.

Lilith, noticing Lith looking at her, gazed down and smiled at Lith.

Lith smiled back and said suddenly, "I love you, mom."

This came out of nowhere but it was enough to melt Lilith's heart. She kissed Lith's forehead and replied, "I love you too, baby."

Lith got up from her embrace and gave her a kiss on her lips. He then sat in front of her cross-legged and asked,

"Today's day is over. Do you have any plans for tomorrow, mom?"

Lilith shook her head. "Mama is free."

Lith nodded. "Alright, then let's go do–"

"No." 

Lilith hugged Lith before he could finish speaking his sentence and gave her answer.

She stuffed his face in between her big motherly breasts and continued,

"Just stay with me like this. I prefer this over anything else."

Lith was stuffed in between two divine softness. He struggled a bit and finally got his face out of it and got a look at his mother's face.

He then said, "but you didn't even hear me out."

Lilith shook her head. She wrapped her arms around Lith and said, "You're trying to make mama happy, aren't you?"

Lith nodded. "Mom is also my wife now. I have to think of your happiness."

Lilith looked Lith seriously in his eyes and said, "If you seriously want to make mama happy, you need to promise her one thing."

Noticing this seriousness, Lith wondered why his mother had such a sudden change in mood.

He got back to his position and sat cross-legged once again, listening to what his mother was saying.

Lilith held Lith's face again and asked softly, "can you… can you promise mama that you'll always be safe?"

"What…" 

Lith was momentarily confused. What was happening?

Lilith sighed. She hugged Lith again and placing his head on her chest and resting her chin on his head, she said with a hint of melancholy, 

"Mama's happiness lies with you being healthy and happy. I don't really need anything else. Watching you struggle between life and death was something that still haunts me. I don't want to… I don't want to…"

Lilith's sadness intensified and a drop of tear fell down from her eye and landed down on Lith's head.

She continued, "Mama doesn't want to see any of her children suffer. Please promise me that you'll be safe."

Lith sighed as he heard his mother's plight. Watching her be so emotional, even he couldn't help but have the same mood as well.

Lith hugged his mother back and said with seriousness, "Mama…"

"I am sorry. Because of me, you had to go through such a situation."

Lilith didn't reply and simply hugged Lith tighter.

Lith patted his mother's back and continued, "I cannot promise you that I'll always be safe, but I can say with assurance that I'll try my best to always be safe and not get into some life-threatening situation."

This was a world of sword and magic and there was no way that anyone was ever truly safe. Lith didn't want to give his mother false hope and make her even more sad in the future. It was better to give her a bitter pill now than regrets later.

As Lilith heard that, more tears dripped out of her eyes and pulling herself back, she held Lith's face and said,

"Why… Why can't you… Why can't you…"

Lilith sobbed in the middle and wasn't able to properly finish speaking. 

Lith hugged her immediately and kissing her forehead and rubbing her back, he said gently,

"It's okay, mama. It's okay. It was a one time thing and I am here now, right? Alive and well, on a date with you?" 

Lilith sobbed lightly as she hugged Lith and said in between, "I don't want to lose you..."

Lilith's children were her only world. If anything happened to the two, her entire existence would become pointless and she would have no will to live anymore.

The situation was much graver than anything else Lith had ever experienced till now. He had no idea that a fun time with his mother would turn this serious so suddenly and she would end up sobbing in front of him.

Lith couldn't bear to watch his mother be so sad but he was helpless as well. There was no guarantee that Lith would always be safe and judging from how a mysterious force tried to take control of him, Lith knew that things were bound to go out of hand in future.

Promising his mother that he'll be safe was as good as lying and betraying her trust. He didn't want to do such a thing.

Lith gave many kisses to his mother and rubbed her back to make her feel his warmth. He let her vent and while she did that, he said softly,

"I'll not go anywhere, mama. I am never going to leave you, not even in your dreams."

"Please trust me on this."

Lilith didn't reply and simply laid in Lith's embrace.

Lith continued to whisper gentle loving words and ensured his mother felt his warmth.

A while later, Lilith stopped sobbing and wiping her face, she said,

"You said you wanted to make mama happy, right?" 

Lith nodded. Of course he wanted to, he would even kill to see a smile on her face right now.

Lilith opened her arms as she saw Lith's response and said, "then come, be in mama's embrace and drink."

"What..." Lith was momentarily confused.

Lilith blinked twice as she saw Lith's confusion. She then realized something and suddenly, a small upward curve appeared at the corner of her lips. She then couldn't help but say,

"Be in mama's embrace and drink her blood, silly. Though I also don't mind if you..."
