Chaos Mana User - Reborn As The Vampire Princess

Voice Projection

"I'll definitely find that woman and force her to tell me who did this to me." I said with a serious expression on my face.

"Why can't you accept your new identity as a woman and marry me?" Hanae expressed her dissatisfaction by pouting.

"I'm not a woman, and I'm not going to marry you." I said as I tried to puff up my chest.

"So you claim you're not a woman, but you behave and speak like one, doesn't that make you one?" Hanae remarked as she looked me in the eyes.

"No, the person who did this to me altered my subconsciousness into a woman's, thus I'm not the one behaving and speaking like a woman." I said it as if I had won this minor argument.

"If she did alter your subconsciousness to that of a woman, why haven't you changed it as a subconscious behavior can be changed?" Hanae said as she leaned her body closer to me and parted her lips slightly.

"I-I can't deny that." I said with a blush on my cheeks.

Hanae then leaned in even closer for a kiss, giving me no time to resist.

"Mnnnnh."

She pulled away from my mouth and glanced at my downcast eyes and said, "I don't care who you used to be, but I want you to be my woman and wife, so marry me."

"I'll marry you, but I'm not accepting this body." I said this while looking her in the eyes.

"That's OK, but you'll come to terms with the fact that you're a beautiful woman." Hanae said as a delighted smile crept across Hanae's face.

"Shouldn't we be focusing more on our current situation?" I asked after realizing we were still in the wagon with plant vines tying us up and draining our energy.

"I have a communication orb, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to use it." Hanae said as she reached for her pocket.

"That won't work; our mana is being drained, therefore even if we can get it out, we won't be able to utilize it." I said as I tried to come up with a solution.

"Do you have telepathy?" Hanae inquired with a curious expression.

"Yes, but it doesn't work over a long distance." I said with a frown on my face.

"If we press our foreheads together, we might be able to extend the range of our telepathic ability, allowing us to tap into one of the abilities of the next level of telepathy, but only for a few seconds. This won't work with anyone else since it's a family technique that requires a smidgeon of love to work." Hanae said with a smile.

"Does that mean I have feelings for you or love you if this works?" I said as my voice grew softer.

"Yes it does." Hanae said with a bright smile on her face.

"All right, I'll do it, but only because it's the only option we have right now." I said as I pouted.

"All right, let's get started." Hanae grinned at me, making me blush.

We leaned close and pressed our foreheads against each other while using telepathy before Hanae utilized her technique, which felt strange since it combined our two telepathic skills into a single skill called [Voice Projection], which enabled us to project our voice a long distance.

(Masao Aikawa's POV)

In one of the Aikawa mansion, a man in his thirties sat in a luxurious leather chair, going through paperwork with a tired expression, but he persevered despite his exhaustion.

*Ding!

"I wonder who's calling this late." I thought as I infused mana into the communication orb on my desk.

"Father, we've been trapped in a desolate part of the city due to an auction participant who stole the Affinity Stone we won." Hanae said over the communication seemed to be about to cut out.

"Where are the bodyguards and coachman are, and if you're alright?" I asked worriedly.

"The bodyguards appear to have all died, and we believe the coachman is either dead or unconscious. As for us, we have plant vines binding us and draining our energy, so we couldn't use the communication orb since it required mana, but we were able to use the special technique with telepathy as it didn't require mana outside of the body." Hanae said before the communication was cut off.

"Claude, with all the men we have, find my daughter and her fiancé." I shouted with seriousness in my eyes.

"Yes, master." Claude bowed and swiftly exited the room, gathering the men to search for Hanae and Ahmya.

Afterwards, the bodyguards searched the city for them, but they didn't find them for many hours. Eventually, they came across a wrecked carriage with green plant vines, an unconscious coachman, a shattered door, and two beautiful women wrapped in plant vines inside the carriage.

They quickly removed the vines that were wrapping the two beautiful women and carefully carried them out of the carriage.

"Angus, check their condition." Claude stated as he looked at two woman who were Hanae and Ahmya.

After checking their condition, Angus said "They're just unconscious from mana deficiency from the plant vines continuously draining my mana. They'll wake up once their mana restores." Angus said, a smile on his face.

"If they hadn't been alright and had been killed, the patriarch would have killed us." Claude thought as he felt a massive weight lift off his shoulders.

Monsters, Demi humans, demons, and vampires do not suffer from mana deficiency as they have a stronger affinity for mana than humans, but they may have similar effects when utilizing a non-innate art.

They repaired the broken carriage and carried the two young mistresses home in a different carriage, making sure they were not injured.
