“Isaac must have noticed me looking around for somebody and guessed that it was Lorraine. If she was in a library, though, she probably wasn’t going to come out for a while. If left to her own devices, she could read for days. I couldn’t count the number of times she’d suffered from malnutrition after one of these episodes and I’d had to cook something for her. I took a mental note to go check on her and make sure that didn’t happen this time.”
― Yu Okano, The Unwanted Undead Adventurer: Volume 8

― Yu Okano, The Unwanted Undead Adventurer: Volume 5

“My first impression of this office had been that it was where people who hated paperwork were damned to after they died.

“Are all the bigwigs in this city like that, you think?” I muttered, not mentioning a certain underworld organization chief but definitely thinking about him. “The people in charge are like that wherever you go,” Lorraine said. “Don’t bother getting your hopes up.” It sure was a rough world out there.”
― Yu Okano, The Unwanted Undead Adventurer: Volume 12

“Everything around me was highly valuable, and I wouldn’t be able to pay for damages. As much as I wanted to say that I could afford it now, I’d spent so long being poor that I couldn’t bring myself to waste any money. I was willing to dish out some coins for a magic bag, but when it came to buying ordinary goods, I was a penny-pincher.”

― Yu Okano, The Unwanted Undead Adventurer: Volume 1

“I do wonder though... What would you become in the end? Not something I could ever imagine, I suppose. Having some strange wings that defy classification when you are simply a variant of a Lesser Vampire... Are you going to grow horns, twenty arms, and maybe fifty eyeballs next? Even if you did, I would hardly be surprised.”
― Yu Okano, The Unwanted Undead Adventurer: Volume 3
