17 It Was You
Seikatsu doesn't know too well on how to speak English, so all of his conversations with Hernando are Japanese.
"Sore wa anatadeshita!" [It was you!]
"Oh? So you still remember me, Kizoku Seikatsu?" Hernan smirked.
With cold and direct voice, he replied. "How did you know my name?"
"Well... Do you want me to remind you on how you made your best mistake?" Hernando giggled.

Back when Seikatsu was about 6 years old, he was full of innocence and curiosity about the world.
At an early age he was taught of many things, but still, books are different from what you can experience.
He was playing outside the castle, still under their vicinity, a man who was speaking in English was making a loud noise outside the wall, a woman was somewhat begging, and a baby who was helplessly crying.
Out of his curiosity, he went to peek. But he was jarred on what he saw. The man was not only yelling but kicking the woman hard causing her to have bruises and bleeding wounds.
I remember what my Dad said: "Use your strength to help the oppress and in need. That was the reason why we are created."
This isn't right! Clenching the wall, he took a deep breath, brought his toy and run towards the man yelling "Yameru! Sore o yamete!" [Stop! Stop it!] He threw his toy into the man.
That made the man even more angry. "You bastard!" he drag Seikatsu in his collar, pushed him on the wall and stomp his feet on him.
"That's what you get for minding other's business!"
Seikatsu was unable to move, the man turned his gaze towards the lady who wears a frightened look on her face saying, "Onegaishimasu.. Dō ka go jihi o" [please.. have mercy on me]
But before he could come closer to the woman, Seikatsu tried his best to stand up. He leap at the man, bit his neck and is trying to suck all of his blood. Unfortunately, the man used his elbow to knock his head. "You don't know how to give up do you?!"
"Ouch!.."Seikatsu was dropped to the ground. I need to stay on my feet. Just a little bit more.
But when he faced them...
"Nani?!...A... Anata wa.. monsutādesu!!..." [What?! You.. You're a... monster!!...] The woman was more frightened at him. His eyes were red, fangs with blood dripping, long sharp nails.
"Watashi o osorenaide kudasai." [Do not be afraid of me.] Seikatsu told the woman with a humble voice. But she just shook her head and continued fearing.
The woman instantly run as the man wasn't paying attention at her.
That man was Hernando. He still doesn't know how to speak Japanese at that time so he was speaking in English.
Hernando was also frightened, he threw him a rock and run as fast as he could.
