Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-35898511-20191231054605/@comment-44464716-20200101075937

I hug my father; thanking him for all that he's done. I then put on my cloak that suppresses my human scent and I head outside to see a dear friend. After a few minutes, I arrive at the park tree where she and I used to play as kids and still use for meeting in secret. Within a few minutes, my friend arrives.

She's the Dhampir daughter of the leader of the Vampire Clan, and she and I are part of a young group that champions human rights in the mamono realms. We are few in number, but we have had many small successes. More to the point, she and I started dating more than a year ago, and I've been meaning to propose to her when she and I came of age. However, I hoped it would happen under happier circumstances.

She kisses me as she arrives. I tell her, "I'm so glad you're here." Then, thinking of what my father told me, I inform my girlfriend, "It's time."

Her enthusiastic smile turns to a sad frown. "I see. Will the operation still be for three?"

"No," I inform her, "My father fears he's caught the eye of the leader of the Zipangu clan. If we all go together, we'll be caught. We'll have to make this operation for the two of us, and rescue my father separately."

"I see," she says. "He'll be alright."

"I hope so," I note. "It may help him if we draw attention. For us to still escape to human land, I'll need to smell like mamono. For that, I have an idea; one I've had for some time now."

She looks at me with an eyebrow raised. "And that is?"

I then pull out the ring. "Will you marry me?"

She stares at the ring for a moment before pulling me to her. "Yes! Of course I'll marry you!" she exclaims between kisses. I'm overjoyed by this, but I remember what we need to do. "You know," I tell her as she continues kissing me, "With this cloak, I can lie down anywhere and my scent will still be masked." She just smiles and gently pushes me onto the ground. We make love for the next few hours until I completely reek of Dhampir.

The next day, the operation goes into action. With the help of the group, we're able to sneak out of Mamono territory without being noticed, and I reunite with my father in a neutral country. I live with my new wife in the neutral territory, and we continue rescuing human males trapped in the mamono realm.
