Deceiver

In the forest training grounds outside Einzbern Castle in Fuyuki...

Uchiha Apricot sat with Yanagawa Mami at the stall Sakura Matou had brought.

"Gulp, gulp—"

Yanagawa Mami heartily drained a cup of freshly squeezed iced orange juice.

"You saved my life, Aunt Sakura."

"I was practically dying of thirst just now."

Yanagawa Mami had truly been so thirsty that her throat was nearly smoking. After drinking Uchiha Apricot's blood, she had become even thirstier.

To her, Uchiha Apricot's blood was exceedingly sweet, but that sweetness quickly transformed into scorching energy that filled her body.
