Tobias Blutzer | Cult Pluto

Vinzenz looked down from the top floor of a building in a prime location in a city that never sleeps, overflowing with vivid lights even at night, with a bored look, and murmured coldly.

"We expected that the König Adler organization would hold a meeting and try to expose the fox within their ranks, but we had no idea that another organization would get involved as we applied pressure. We can do anything about König Adler, but that family is not easy."

Vanhel glanced at Vinzenz's words and remained silent without even raising an eyebrow.

"...Will that cause us any trouble?"

Jörg asked Vinzenz on Vanhel's behalf, pondering whether to eliminate the covertly operating family.

"There shouldn't be any problems for now. With that organization lagging behind us, this is just a gamble for them. But we can't be complacent and leave it alone. Someone had been sniffing around us even before the König Adler meeting, so we caught them. We left it to Tobias, but... isn't that right, Tobias?"

Tobias had been listening to Vinzenz's story, but he wrinkled his nose in open disgust.

"Zentz, next time you introduce someone, make it a cute girl. Not that one. Her blood stinks, and it's no match for me. No matter what we did, she wouldn't give up any information, so there's no other way to use her."

Dieter laughed at Tobias's teasing remarks and admonished him like a child.

"Don't leave them injured, Toby. Humans are more fragile and unpredictable than you know. They die if they're hit in the wrong place, and die if they're left with even a minor illness... They die if they lose too much blood."

Dieter has had an aversion to blood ever since he killed a human he once kept. To satiate his hunger, he would eat junk food and then spit it out. Tobias's words, based on real experience, made him stick out his tongue, feeling the bitterness in his mouth.

"Ugh... Stop lecturing me, Dietz. I just taught a bad rat a lesson, didn’t I?... From my point of view, I'd like to see Zentz, who always does the right thing, investigate why he bought such a prominent location, such a prime building."

Tobias tried to shift the blame by singling out Vinzenz, but Vinzenz had anticipated this and responded in an annoyingly polite manner.

"As they say, 'The best place to hide a person is among people', right?"

Tobias sarcastically responded to Vinzenz's usual smokescreen attitude.

"We're not human, except for Zentz."

Vinzenz also returns the sarcasm with a pasted-on smile and flowing sarcasm.

"Oh, I forgot, you guys are acting so human."

At the signal that the gathering was over, the doctor from the underworld, who had been quietly watching the exchange in the corner of the room, stood up from his chair.

"Can I go home? My love is waiting for me at home."

When Peter asked to go home with a smile, Tobias waved him off and laughed.

"Isn't that fine? I want to go home early and have sex with my sex friend too. Why do excited women taste so good?"

Tobias licked his lips, imagining the act of satisfying his hunger and sexual desire at the same time.

Peter interrupted Tobias' question, which he didn't want an answer to.

"I don't know what you vampires taste like, but I suspect that your own dopamine makes you taste better. It also increases your appetite, so be careful not to overeat. ...... If it's someone you care about, you can't take it back, can you?"

Vinzenz, who was in charge of the situation, gestured to the door, and Peter got permission. He then casually said that and left.

Tobias glared at the he

"I would never do that to someone I care about."

Tobias chewed his words in his mouth so that no one there, not even Dieter, who was sitting next to him, could hear.

---

With the bright light of the full moon at his back, Tobias entered the open window without making a sound and sat on the edge.

"You still haven't fallen asleep? You're a naughty girl."

Tobias' eyes softened as he saw her, but he laughed softly, teasing her to hide his happiness.

To satisfy his hunger, Tobias chose his sex friends to contact whoever was available, but the moment he received a message from the person he prioritized the most, he changed his plans drastically. Tobias puts her first, rather than his own hunger or sexual desire.

To Tobias, she was the only person he treated with such pure and devoted love.

"Are you going to tell me about the fun things that happened to you today? Or should I listen to your pent up complaints?"

Tobias kept his distance so as not to get drunk on her sweet scent, but he chose his words to get close to her heart.

'Tobias is a vampire is a secret.' - this strange relationship between him and her continues with just that promise, and it can change at her discretion.

Tobias never speaks of the "silver bullet" she holds. He never tells her that it is the only thing that can truly kill him—that it holds the absolute power to sever his love, his affections, even their very bond, and shatter his heart beyond repair. His desperate yearning, concealed beneath his instinct to protect her, his love that seeks to shield her from the monster within him—none of it matters in the face of that bullet. The only one who can end him is her.

"...Say whatever you like. Your voice is pleasant to hear."

Tobias clenched his hand, trying to hold back from wanting to reach out and touch her, to fulfill his role as her secret confidant.
