Translation notes and style
Although scene descriptions are provided, it is not nearly the same as seeing it for yourself. If you enjoy the series, I would strongly recommend buying the tankoubon (collected version, each about 180 pages or 10 chapters long, costing 410 yen) when they become available (typically 3-4 months after the weekly Shonen Sunday release), and the first 21 volumes are now on sale.
Warning: These translations will occationally include strong language, and violence, though this is only when it is present in the original Japanese version.

Princess Abi.
You are using the birds to collect people's blood.

She ate a poisonous Youkai, and got struck by the poison.
But she's not dying.
Because she's drinking people's blood to dilute the poison.
