Chapter 408: Clementine And Harumi

-----

Clementine watched the graphics given to her by another Vampire, there was now a big percentage of people donating blood, and all thanks to a Vtuber that Harumi became.

"This is outstanding… Only because of that Vtuber thing?" wondered Clementine.

"It does seem to eb the case, my lady… Vtubers are a very popular thing form nowadays… It all became more popular starting from the year 2020… But it seems that lady Harumi is even crushing the most popular Vtubers who belong to Hololive… In her account, she has already surpassed ten million subscriptions, and the amount of money she gets for every stream she does is… nothing but ridiculous," said the vampire at her side.

"This… We have really hit a gold mine with this… To think that the present would differ so much from the past regarding making money. I suppose I should do it like the werewolves and invest in the industry of entertainment… I wonder what father would say about this… Ugh, we better not tell him," Sighed Clementine, as she wondered what her father would, an incredibly ancient Vampire Progenitor, would think about her actions. Certainly, as old as he was, it was obvious that he would think of all these modern things as complete rubbish. Kind of like her, although she had been slowly adapting and changing due to Harumi\'s ideas and interest.

Clementine had a long life, and through her life, she never actually had a child, all her Vampires always were seen as more like servants, she never took care of one since it was a bay like she did with Harumi, who was adopted when she was a toddler.

Due to this, Clementine was forced to walk outside of her cold-minded personality and enter into a non-comfort zone where she had to learn how to be a good mother. It was hard, parenting was certainly something that changed her.

But she cannot deny that she loves Harumi a lot, more than she had loved any of her servants… Since that time when she took her selflessly was the day her life slowly changed.

Over 20 years ago was when she found her, after having taken care of a large group of Crazed Vampires, who were Vampire Thralls that abandoned her clan and became wild punks and criminals, which she hunted down with the aid of the Monks, was when she found her.

Resting over the corpse of her human mother, Harumi was born a Dhampir, from a sexual slave of a Blood Thrall, a tragic past that Clementine was thankful she never told to her. The little girl was barely surviving by eating rats in the place where she was confined with her mother, who sometimes gave her milk until she died out of malnourishment.

That day when she found the little Dhampir, covered in dirt and blood, fearful of her overwhelming presence, was the day her cold heart slowly began to melt.

Compassion emerged within the cold-hearted Vampire that has lived for thousands of years, as she took the little girl with her, hiding her from the Monks at first, as she moved her into her Domain and raised her slowly.

It was certainly a pain, especially because Harumi was very feral as a toddler due to her growing conditions, Clementine had many times when she had to be careful not to get too angry, or she would end up accidentally killing her by her mere presence or the power of her eyes, she had to take upon accessories that sealed part of her power to raise her properly, as her presence was so thick and strong it made the little Harumi sickly.

As she grew raising Harumi, she slowly learned more about the modern world which she often ignored and left to her servants to handle, Harumi started to want to involve herself with the outside world, and Clementine, although she had told her several times to not do so, ended giving up to her daughter\'s desire to learn about the outside world.

Harumi\'s existence was also unique as a Dhampir, she had the ability that all Vampires had and could develop them further, while also lacking all their weaknesses, unlike Vampires who required special accessories that were very expensive and didn\'t last too long to walk in the sun of the day, Harumi could go out and enjoy the outside world as much as she wanted.

Clementine knew she couldn\'t confine her anymore, so she did her best to connect with her daughter and learn more about her. Because of her, she grew softer, and became more open-minded to new ideas and concepts introduced by modern society.

As she wanted to connect more as a mother with Harumi, she even began to investigate popular trends and all sorts of stuff, but Harumi grew more aloof as she reached maturity and puberty at the age of 20, which was rather early for Vampire-born like her. As Vampires grew very slowly when they were born as a Vampire, usually taking 50 years or so to reach puberty, but perhaps because she was half human, she reached this quicker.

Harumi became more self-aware as she grew older, and became very timid sometimes, very silent and too immersed into her own virtual worlds, games, and entertainment to look up to her mother as much. She still obeyed her, and after Clementine decided it, she made her go to the school to have some education from there, while also working as a part-time spy.

Although she had done this initially because she wanted Harumi to socialize more and not become a cold-hearted and silent Vampiress like her… That\'s where she met Matsuo and Erika as well, so Clementine considered she did a good job at the end, as she had made two friends at the very least…

But her relationship with her daughter wasn\'t so good yet… She wanted to know more about her daughter and her coming of age. But Harumi was too closed to talk about such things, and it was proving to be difficult…
