Do Vampires Have to Collect Rent, Too?

The male lead suddenly transmigrated into a mystery novel:

An ancient mansion with a hundred-year history, seven protagonists with ulterior motives, and seven days of survival in a snowbound manor. In the end, no one survives. The book went viral thanks to its ingenious deductions and brilliant plotting, sparking a wave of online discussion.

Unfortunately, the male lead had only read the opening.

-

“As the owner of this house, your task is to collect the rent by any means necessary... But be warned, your guests are no ordinary people.

“They are greedy jackals, hungry tigers and leopards, and miserly penny-pinchers who wouldn't part with a single coin.

“Oh, and last of all, my dear master, please don't forget who you are. Even among your guests, there are those who can kill you, despite your noble bloodline.

“And finally, good luck.”

The gray-haired butler pushed up his glasses. His narrow eyes held blatant mockery, and as he left, he teasingly snatched the badge from the young man's chest.

Male lead: ...???

-

As the sudden eighth person, the male lead had abruptly become a half-baked vampire. He touched the identity card identifying him as the owner of the house and fell silent.

Very well. Now he was a vampire in two senses of the word.

But no matter.

Collecting money? That's what he's best at!

It's no problem. He'll handle it!

-

But... who was going to tell him he had to stay in character too?!

The pale, long-haired young man set down his knife and fork and gently wiped the blood from his lips. Even in such a tense atmosphere, he remained elegant and unhurried.

Bystander: What a difficult aristocratic vampire.

Male lead: QAQ Waaah, I want braised pig's trotters.

-

Butler: “...You finished collecting the rent?”

Male lead: “It was easy.”

Butler: “Wait... Why are you hugging me?!”

Male lead: “It was easy.”

Male lead's POV, one-on-one, both sexually inexperienced, plot-focused. The author's brain isn't working properly, so there may be plenty of little bugs.

Theme: Even when you find yourself in danger, do what you can.
