Everyday Life and the Progenitor As Ru’s pregnancy progresses Hiraku goes about his daily schedule of running the village, farm work, checking up on everyone, ensuring village security and combat training. A man suddenly appears who turns out to be Vampire Progenitor Vargryfe, Ru and Flora’s 4000 year old grandfather. Vampires usually have children by transforming another human into a vampire, so Ru’s pregnancy is a rare occurrence. Having seen Hiraku’s statue of the God who reincarnated him Vargryfe reveals he also met God once before being born as a vampire. He has forgotten most details since, to keep his sanity over his eternal lifespan, he erases his memories every few centuries. Hiraku carves Vargryfe a copy of the statue which Vargryfe secretly donates to the temple of the God of Creation. The priests are so entranced by such an accurate likeness of God they let it be known the Great Tree Village is under their protection. To celebrate Ru’s pregnancy Vargryfe sends the village an expensive grand piano. The Trio are too nervous to play it so Hiraku ends up buying a cheaper version for them to practice on first, though regrets it when their practicing prevents him from a good night's sleep.
