Hey, Holmes.

Hello, Watson.

I'm here to stop you, classmate.

Or do you prefer "private eye"?

I'm here to k*ll you, vampire.

{OP}

Midnight alight sees ego, desire, regrets come and go

Vision blurred by rain I see your wet silhouette in a neon glow

Please don't wake until the morning, time will flow

Woo yeah, yeah, yeah

With a resigned face I say goodnight

Thought I'd caught up, but it's a mirage

Lemme feel you like I did in those days

Thrown away any dignity I had for show

I f*cked up in so many ways, yeah

Night doesn't go by slow

A lighter in the dark but the gas is low

Status quo

Hold up a sec, huh

I got a family, I got a life

Won't be torn away

Before I could even start lying she had me straddled

La di la di la la

Today she's humming a tune while unlocking my suite

Walks to her own beat

It started years ago but now we're on repeat

Gotta choose, a place in the sun or embrace darkness so sweet

Write more

Sing more

Demands then laughs

We melt into tomorrow just as you planned

Not that I care, as you see

Can't stop ya, ha ha ha

With a resigned face I say goodnight

Thought I'd caught up, but it's a mirage

Lemme feel you like I did in those days

Thrown away any dignity I had for show

I f*cked up in so many ways, yeah

Night doesn't go by slow

A lighter in the dark but the gas is low

Status quo

{Part A}

What do you want to do, Yamori?

I don't want the slayer to die.

I don't want you vampires to die either.

Yamori...

I know you say it's k*ll or be k*lled.

But why didn't you take action before it came to this?

What could we do?

We didn't know anything about her.

The address on her business card had been vacant for a long time.

Now she's made her move.

She's trying to k*ll us.

This is our best chance to neutralize the threat.

Liar.

The truth is, none of you like k*lling humans.

You don't want this w*r.

You vampires aren't so different from us.

You're powerful, so you can back up your scary threats.

But how often do you follow through with them? How often do you mean what you say?

Hey.

Vampires are all talk.

Watch your mouth—

That's why...

I like vampires!

When you get down to it, you're more human than we are!

Yamori...

Niko...

Ms. Hirata, can you please help me out?

I want to save Nazuna's friend.

I want them to be friends again!

Addressing me formally like a teacher is unfair.

Did you get your butt kicked by the slayer?

What a dork! Look at you!

Yeah, I've got nothing to say for myself.

But, Seri...

I'm really furious with that woman for sh**ting you.

Still, are we doing the right thing?

What do you mean?

I don't think she was trying to k*ll me.

It was clear I'd win in an all-out battle with her.

Yamori thinks we've got this wrong.

If that's true, she might be toying with us.

I've been trying to figure out what the slayer is after.

She threatens to k*ll you, but then attacks with nonlethal methods.

Has she run out of items to use against you?

Is she saving them for later?

Either way, Nazuna doesn't have an item.

So what is she going to do?

The other night, the slayer said something weird.

"If you don't want to lose your beloved freedom, you'd better head home right away."

I think she wants...

to end the night.

I learned by experimenting on vampires stupid enough to fall into my traps.

How much damage can they take?

Do they always heal at the same rate?

Is there any way to k*ll them through brute force?

I devoted my adolescence to becoming an expert on your kind.

Sucked to be teenage you, then.

So, what'd you learn?

Unfortunately, you vamps are hard to k*ll.

I'm here to talk.

But you have the same weaknesses as us.

That's gotta hurt, Nanakusa.

Nice work choking down your screams.

Even a vampire takes damage from b*ll*ts.

You won't die.

You'll heal.

But it hurts, doesn't it?

Listen, Nanakusa.

To be honest, I don't want to hurt you.

Take my advice. Leave the kid alone.

You're setting him up for misery.

Mind your own business.

You don't know us!

You're a vampire. You'll never understand the human heart.

Kou stays with me!

Like I said, I've prepared for this.

You give me no choice.

I'll just have to k*ll Yamori then.

I'm gonna k*ll you.

Finally ready to get serious?

I'd like to see you try.

That's my line!

Vampires are so stupid and inflexible.

No imagination.

We're on the third floor!

Ouch...

Nanakusa! Hurry up and k*ll me!

Huh?

Why did I just sigh?

She's going to k*ll Kou.

So why am I relieved?

I've got to k*ll her.

Good.

You see? You're all idiots!

You just swung at me wildly, so it was easy to dodge you.

I haven't had any special combat training,

but I use my head.

Use your head, Nanakusa!

Come on.

If you don't k*ll me, Yamori will die!

"End the night"?

What did she mean?

I'm not sure.

But maybe...

Who's that?

Message

the private eye

I didn't tell Kou I was coming here.

I came alone.

He won't show up.

And I'm gonna stop you before you can lay a hand on him.

No need for drama, Nanakusa.

I'll text him from your phone. "Hey, I'm at the school."

Don't you dare!

Oops.

Yamori

Message sent

Already sent it.

Don't just stand there gawking.

How does it feel?

Even with your vampire strength, a kick to the gut knocks the wind out of you.

It's almost too easy.

Like you're a human.

There's no way you can k*ll me before Yamori gets here.

You have only yourself to blame. You're weak.

Yamori's going to die and it'll be all your fault.

Yamori? What's going on?

Is something wrong?

I don't know!

But if we don't hurry...

the slayer is going to get k*lled.

All my fault?

That's right.

Yamori will die because you're weak.

I'm... weak?

Yeah.

You can't k*ll me, can you?

So you'll have to watch as I k*ll your pet human.

What now?

What should I do?

Think.

That's right. Gotta think.

She sent the text already.

Kou's going to show up soon.

So what if I'm weak?

Am I, though?

I think I'm pretty badass.

Can she fend me off and k*ll Kou at the same time?

There's no way she can pull that off.

She must have something else in mind.

Hey.

You aren't really planning to k*ll Kou, are you?

What makes you say that?

You're talking too much.

That text to Kou...

If you were setting up an ambush, it'd be smarter not to tell me about it.

What do you really want?

You poor thing.

My eyes...

Damn it!

Listen up, Nanakusa.

Don't worry about my plans.

All I want to do is eradicate vampire-kind.

If Yamori gets in the way, he'll get himself k*lled.

He's a traitor to humanity anyway.

He doesn't deserve to live.

Nanakusa, it's too late to wonder how things might've been.

I mentally prepared myself before coming here.

I intend to end everything toni—

Dammit!

Yeah?! Fine!

What did I tell you about direct attacks, huh?

You're finally getting serious about this.

About time.

I don't have a choice, do I?!

Gotta run!

I'm not letting you get away!

Someone's all fired up now.

That was close!

Let me make it in time!

Not bad. I'm impressed.

C'mon, let's stop this.

I don't want to k*ll you.

You're such an idiot, Nanakusa.

Huh?

Hey, that sound...

Kou...

Yamori.

Why?

th Night: I Wanted It To Be You

{Part B}

th Night: I Wanted It To Be You

Dear Yamori,

don't try to find me.

Never trust vampires.

I suspect that, like me, you're incapable of turning.

Can you imagine what your future would be like if you fail?

You're young.

Get out while you can. You have a long life ahead of you.

So please...

Please...

Yamori...

Kou.

No. Get out...

Nazuna!

Damn it!

That's not fair!

What's not fair?

My only choice is to k*ll you!

Nanakusa, old friend, that's been true all along.

What're you doing, Yamori?!

You're in my way!

Don't do it, Nazuna!

She set you up!

Shut up!

Stop, please...

He's my friend.

I was your friend too, wasn't I?

I'm sorry, Kou.

I've screwed everything up.

I should've just k*lled her.

Forget it, Nazuna.

She's not going to k*ll me.

What?

From the start—

Shut up!

She wanted you to k*ll her.

That text you sent me...

Shut up, shut up, shut up!

That was a farewell message, wasn't it?!

Shut up!

Text?

What text?


She said she texted you from my phone.

Isn't that why you're here?

Huh?

She never did that.

I guessed she'd be here.

Why?

I thought about what would happen if she committed suicide by vampire tonight.

Someone would find her body.

She'd be identified as the missing person from ten years ago, Mejiro Kyouko.

The authorities would dig deeper into her parents' deaths.

They'd probably find evidence she'd left behind.

Evidence that'd bring the existence of vampires to light.

Like what?

I'm not sure.

Maybe her notes or video footage of some kind.

It could even be a vampire locked up somewhere.

I think that was her master plan for slaying vampires.

Everyone would learn that vampires exist.

They'd know your hunting habits.

And people would stop going out at night.

You hoped your death would starve vampires over the next ten years, didn't you?

Nights are better when they're quiet.

I was willing to do whatever it took to get rid of vampire-kind.

All I had to do was empty the night of people.

Didn't I tell you not to come after me, Yamori?

You're not wrong.

I came here tonight to die.

It's difficult to prove the existence of vampires.

When they die, they dissolve into ash and disappear.

They don't leave corpses behind.

Imagine if I went on TV and said, "Vampires are real!"

They'd laugh the crazy lady right off the set.

Though I suppose I am.

I need to lead people to the truth.

I have to prove that beings with unimaginable powers are masquerading as humans.

What I need is incontrovertible evidence—footage of me being k*lled by a vampire.

I have to record my death as I go down.

It won't work if I do it by halves.

That's what this game has all been about.

I've spent ten years learning how to slay vampires.

I used their mortal weaknesses to take out a few, but there were so many more whose pasts I couldn't figure out.

In the end, I realized I can't k*ll them individually.

They have to die off en masse.

If every human stops going out at night, the vampires' food source will dry up.

One by one, they'll starve,

until, at last, they go extinct.

That's...

You're thinking that's a ridiculous plan, aren't you?

I have to agree.

It might work for a year, maybe even two, but to starve every single vampire to death,

humans would have to live in fear of the night for a decade.

Still, I hoped it would make for a few quiet nights.

Oh well. You saw through me.

I don't suppose anyone will k*ll me now.

What are you going to do next?

Are you going to keep trying?

Dunno. Honestly?

I'm exhausted.

I...

If a vampire was going to k*ll me in the end, I wanted it to be you, Nanakusa.

See you around.

We're always parting without you giving me what I want.

Nazuna! Are you all right?

I-I'm fine.

Just tired, is all.

Like I've got anemia.

Vampires get anemia?

How's that possible?

Need some blood?

Kou...

I'm sorry I didn't k*ll her.

It would've been bad if you had.

That's not what I mean.

It was a choice between k*lling her and letting you die.

Sure, it turned out that sparing her life was the right choice. But still...

I'm sorry.

You couldn't k*ll your first friend.

I get it.

I wouldn't want you to do something that'd make you sad.

Thanks.

Besides, I didn't want her to die either.

And she's...

Nazuna...

Let's go after her.

This isn't over yet.

Don't do it!

Huh?

Oh no...

Yamori...

{ED}
