Big thanks to Mitsu for the scans! Also thanks to Rin for making corrections.

I'm pants at literal translations by the way so you'll probably mistakes everywhere and tense issues //sobs.

This is Ruki's short story accompanying the release of the third MORE, BLOOD drama CD. You've been cornered on the steel tower rooftop and when he sees your tears he---

--The blue sky is dazzling. Even though the pitch black darkness is spreading across the sky.

"About your blood being special... It certainly does seem that way."

A deep sigh comes out slowly together with those words, and the girl, whose body is lying down, stirs a little.

"Pitiful livestock... even though you are cursed to be used... There is no longer any other way, right? Hehe..."

I spoke as if I was saying it to myself, and the girl opens her hazy eyes. They aren't focusing. But, though there was only a little in those pupils, something like awareness could be felt.

"Is it frustrating?" "........." As I murmur that, those eyes were scrutinized. While looking at her, I turn her small neck to the side.

"If you hate it then resist. You should at least be able to push me off from here, right?"

As I declare in a voice made as cold as possible, tears like pearls overflowed from her eyes. I just watch that quietly. The tears fall down along her cheek and disappeared into her blood-smeared collar.

I know the meaning of those tears, though I've never cried myself. I am unable to cry the way she is crying. No, it's not that I am unable. It's that I would not permit myself to do that. Crying, screaming, declaring one's self to be miserable, rolling on the ground, and stamping one's feet is all too simple. But, when I think of all the mistakes until then, the choice for me to cry was never allowed.

"... Kou said that he gets hungry when he cries."

I say it because it is embarrassing, but she continues to cry in silence.

"Stop crying, livestock."

Involuntarily, a voice of irritation tumbles out. What is this irritation? Even though I do not have feelings of blame towards her for pitying herself.

"An ordinary sentiment, huh."

Before I knew it my voice came out. Those words startled me.

I am involuntarily agitated by the so-called movement of a human-like heart. It was irritating.

"Haha... How surprising. Even though noticing such a thing at this time is said to be pointless."

I trail a finger down her cheek and scoop up the tears there.

"... uu..." "Don't make such a disagreeable expression. Even though I'm making you feel better, isn't that cruel?"

I run my tongue alongside my finger. While lapping it up, I press closer to her side and declare quietly.

"Even if you cry it is useless. You are already... mine after all. That is why you should give up and obediently give me blood."

That is the only road to being at ease, is what I add onto the end. All the while thinking on how ridiculous it is to force others to do what I cannot do myself.
