Chapter 1 - Monster Meeting

”By the way, I do not recall authorizing this kind of club?”

The quartet was casually doing their own thing in the ”club activities rooirl suddenly visited and declared

Viewing the surprised quartet with disdain, she continued even more mercilessly

”So, please relinquish this place as soon as possible You do realize you are occupying a classrooht?”

”Why!? Why wasthe naht!?”

”Let uys do not even qualify as a hobby group, let alone a club!”

Before the other three could even retort, the girl already answered Rushella directly on their behalf

This person exuded an aura of dignity that differed froently wavy hair coiled behind her head, she was dressed in her unifor manner An existence that no one in the school was unaware of

Student Council Vice-President, Uno Kirika

Having joined the student council as a first year, she was now a second year high school student In the last election, she was able to ascend to the position of vice-president

Froe earlier, it was readily apparent that her personality was harsh, unco and dutiful Consequently, the complete lack of support fro the bid for the president position At the same time, due to her combination of beauty, talent and upfront ways, her approval rating ahest in the history of the school

A the only one with past experience on the council as well as her business-like personality, ru the show

Faced with her merciless announcement, Rushella was the first to object

”What is going on!? Why can't you approve our club!?”

”What is going on? Because there is no paper trail Besides, how do you even plan on applying with neither name nor content confirmed? Are these not questions that coes of starting a club froet approved, roup with neither club classrooet”

A completely correct explanation

Even without her dignity as an upperclass was flawless

”Mmmmmmm You dare speak to me in such a manner”

”Excuse ood points By the way, did you even fill out the application? Based on common sense, shouldn't the name and activities be confirmed first before the club is established?”

Hisui's questioning made Rushella display a displeased expression

”I already told the principal! I ran over to his office and declared 'I shall create a new club!!' Then with a blank stare, he answered 'All shall proceed as you wish' He approved it!!”

”Clearly you used your 'a the system!!”

”Shut up, if the boss already agreed, there's no probleht!?”

”I say, even if we do it your way The effect of ' your way into high school, having to run over to the principal's office to use the 'le day would be too much, which hy I asked Kariya to take care of the proper paperwork”

”Hmm Well then, can't the club be dealt the same way”

”You must create the club properly in accordance with school rules It would be too conspicuous if we h it would be troublesome for us if your area of movement expands after school, we cannot assist in this matter”

Eruru asserted expressionlessly

Under norroup, but her words were always merciless when she did

After all, she was only attending this school for the purpose ofRushella and Hisui

Belonging to an undisclosed division of the Metropolitan Police Departations Section and as an expert in vampire combat -- this was Kariya Eruru's identity

Hearing Eruru's flat rejection, Hisui ignored Rushella's pouting and had no choice but to atteotiations with Kirika

”So, the matter of the club aside Why did you come here?”

”Even though our school was affected by the declining birthrate and decreasing trends in student numbers in the past, enrollment has increased in recent years due to the redevelopment of the station area This in and of itself poses no issue But at the sa with a lack of transparency gradually surfaced My visit here today, could be described as for the purpose of investigations”

”What do you mean?”

”Sports clubs are basically fine, but we have probleroups as well as their membershi+p Some of them are disbanded in reality and yet they continue to be allocated a budget There are also chaotic cases ofout sieously, there are clubs whose activities and existence are unknowns Given someone et under the guise of other clubs”

”I see That really is a problem”

”Many teachers ere once club advisors have left the school for various reasons such as retire To be honest, the school ad out the actual situation of all the clubs Hence, the student council has decided to conduct an investigation Do you understand now?”

”I understand”

There was clearly no roootiations

Handled carelessly, this issue could end upthe entire school their enemy

”Even if classrooreater student nu them so that they can be distributed in a disciplined ation is complete, the classrooned to officially recognized clubs In any case, we cannot let you use this classrooroup that does not even qualify as a club”

”Lowly human, you dare speak in this manner to an exalted vampire such as me Well then, by my 'mystic eyes,' thou shalt obey!”

Faced with Kirika's high tension attack, Rushella who had kept silent all this ti words

Alarmed, Hisui frantically pulled her hand and tried to soothe her

”Idiot, stop it Even if you drive her away right now, she's going to return, right?”

”It is as Kujou-san stated Even if you use the 'mystic eyes' to control her alone, there would be toostaff are on theenough, resulting in a vicious cycle, would you not agree? Badly handled, you may even expose your identity”

Eruru restrained Rushella's rage ords of reason

Unable to object, Rushella had no choice but to stand still, clenching her fist

”Just as I have said, if you do not have any further matters, please hurry and”

”Ah, wait a minute, Senpai!”

Just as Kirika was about to end the conversation, Mei joined in

”We understand the situation now, but isn't it kind of h an unofficial club or hobby group unrecognized by the school is not proper, but honestly, though we appear to be acco our club president who's a little unfortunate in the brains departe in club activities, in reality, all we do is chat around”

”Hey I don't quite get what you ht?”

Ignoring Rushella's terrifying teeth-gnashi+ng behind her, Mei continued:

”Conversely, e're doing does not cause trouble to anybody There is no school rule forbidding students froht?”

Completely unproductive

Inane to the extreme

Utterly worthless

Si time

Precisely because of that, they were not bound by any rules

Mei was countering using the tragic truth, an act of merciless practicality

At the very least, until the classrooned an official purpose -- they wished to remain here

Presuh Mei's intentions, Kirika relaxed her tone of voice and answered

”True Indeed there is no such rule However, the rules do advise: students who have nothing to do should leave school pro is unnecessary Rather than obeyingthem”

”You agree, right? So, we can”

”The reason I ca clubs and classrooe Recently in the past week, the student council's co this empty classroom after school”

”Anonymous letters What did they say?”

Hisui was the first to ask as the quartet wondered in puzzlement

Kirika looked at the them up, then continued

”Let me see The first letter -- a busty beauty had pushed a slenderhis neck with her tongue That was the eyewitness account Others haveto bite and lick the neck, or hardcore situations that rival bedscenes fron movies”

”What are you talking about!? In this place of learning, such unwholesome and immoral acts!!”

”I' 100 about you It yht Hence you were in extre whatever 'I'm tired and want to suck blood! Hurry and let me suck!!' Then after school you came for a heavy meal of blood, remember?”

Rushella displayed great indignance as Hisui retorted in amazement

Even though this classroom was relatively remote and unfrequented, due to Hisui's desperate resistance, it was possible that people came to check out the noise

”There is h school students in sexiness, was guiding a slender hs and even up her skirt That seductive body was all over hi”

”Wow For so like that to occur in a school This person is even worse than a nymphomaniac!”

”I' 100 about you It'Once a month, there's always this tiht? That force and momentu to take inity that day, weren't you?”

As Mei displayed exasperation, Hisui retorted with a twisted face

Thanks to Rushella's arrival, his virginity renited between the two girls The scene was like a tournaest supernatural creature It was possible that people came to check out the noise

”In addition, a slenderbeaten up ferociously by a female student even shorter and sies and pleas forhiround”

”How scary Well, given the victim of assault still counts as male, how utterly useless and incompetent is he?”

”I' 100 about you Itto stop Rushella and Sudou fro when they crashed intoyour chest due to some irresistible force of fate It was a total accident, but you beat me up mercilessly, remember?”

Hisui retorted, his face completely pale

He could recall his painful screams, so it was possible that people came to check out the noise

”Also there are many instances similar to the likes of 'Riajuu Kujou must die' 'Kujou is an idiot' 'I'm not jealous of him!!' In addition there were even ones like 'By the ouldn't you agree that Hisui is sort of cute?' 'To be frank, if I were to be alone with that kid Dangerous' 'Honestly Does gender matter actually?' 'Hey Can you do it With me?' That sort of stuff”

”Scary!! Hey, what the heck is with the later ones!? What kind of attitude towards me is that!? Of course, I don't want to be the public ene! U about!?”

”In order to safeguard personal privacy, no such details may be disclosed”

”Hey hey hey! My virginity is at stake here! Besides, isn't it a bad thing for your student council as well!?”

”Impure heterosexual relations aside, the school rules say nothing about impure homosexual relations As for matters of conduct related to 'B' and 'L,' the student council's official position is a policy of noninterference”

Kirika's final blow crushed Hisui's hopes completely

Collapsing to sit on the ground, powerless, he clutched his head in his arms

Without even glancing at him, Kirika continued to speak mercilessly to the other three ere rooted to the spot

”In any case, I forbid you to use this classrooe in club activities, you ather at least five members, confirm the club's name and activities, then confirm the teacher advisor and finally apply to the student council through proper procedures We will go through careful consideration,sure there is no overlap with other club activities, as well as ensure a positive thein That is all I have to say, any further questions?”

”None”

Hisui answered dejectedly on behalf of the whole group

In actual fact, neither Mei nor Eruru were affected very much

Only Rushella had her face turned away in disgust

”Well then, you are dis to do, please leave the school promptly”

Concluding with great solemnity, Student Council Vice-President Uno Kirika left

And so, before it could even begin officially, the club was facing a disbandment crisis

The next day, Hisui's group of four gathered once again in the empty classroom to discuss how to handle the crisis

”By the way, it's only been a day, and yet we're running over to this classrooain, isn't it kind of bad? That vice-president is fas strictly Cority of character, she's essentially the representative of the teachers, right? If we oppose her like this, aren't we going to get the short end of the stick?”

”I agree Besides, why are you so obsessed with the club?”

Hisui and Mei were uninterested in the club in the first place With zero enthusiasm, they asked Rushella

”It's all your fault for putting in no effort! Whether assistingclues tome some enthusiasm!?”

”Even if I don't do the club, I've been taking care of your living space and all sorts of daily chores, and we really have been working hard on the ht?”

Living a wonderful life of cohabitation with the beautiful vareement from Eruru beside him

Ihtly after hearing Hisui's question

”We of the Supernatural Investigations Section are working on it full time But we are already short on numbers, so our efforts have not bore fruit Anye did pick up rumors of vampires in this area”

”What, there are others of my kin around here!?”

Hearing Eruru's statement, not only Rushella but also Hisui and Mei leaned closer to listen

”Yes -- or perhaps 'yes, in the past' would be more accurate Many eyewitness reports indicate, in the past decade, there was once a woloves even in hup the various accounts -- her face was beautiful enough to lasses in most situations, her beauty still left a vivid impression on others Reportedly, some have even witnessed her 'unobscured face' when she took off her shades at night, and they have asserted -- such beauty could only belong to the heavens”

”Mmmmmmm Based on her beauty, indeed she must be my kin -- or rather, she is more than likely of the same blood Any other characteristics!?”

”Vivid blood-red lips, eyes that appeared cri white skin -- basically the appearance of a classic vaht a parasol with her, and considering her unusual style of dress, the possibility of being your kin is rather high Other eyewitnesses have described her appearance as age twenty or so Over the past decade, all reports of her age have stated the sa”

”No change in appearance over ten years In other words, she is an i vampire? Really, in this area”

Mei also exclaimed as she nodded

Even though Rushella's clai up in a coffin in the mountains was quite unbelievable, at least it was certain that a member of her race existed in this area

”Are there any further descriptions of that wohly, perhaps it ht be related to my memories!”

”Ultimately these are all eyewitness accounts Of course, some were suards to your origins However, there were several testimonies that stood out”

”What!?”

Rushella leaned forward to ask, but Eruru answered indifferently

”In hted According to the earliest accounts, she was leading by the hand a child who appeared five years old or younger”

”Could that child also be my kin!?”

”No, according to later testi up Based on appearance and build, it should be the sa that woman”

”A human who stays by the side ofWho on earth could it be!?”

”I'm sorry, that child is most likely me”

Hisui raised his hand with a pained expression on his face

Confronted with this suddenly revealed truth, all eyes focused on him

”It's you? Then who is that alleged vampire”

”Most likely my foster parent She are that her eternal youth would be easily discovered, so she tried asseen Nevertheless, it looks like her efforts were in vain”

Hisui smiled wryly, his tone of voice helpless

Subtly hidden was also a sliver of sadness, but the other three noticed

Hisui was the only pure human present -- however, he was also different from ordinary humans in one special area

He was raised by a vampire

When he was young, he was about to be murdered by his parents when that certain vampire killed his parents to rescue hi up the responsibility of nurturing him

Savior, parents' murderer, foster parent who raised him -- vampire

In the end, she met her demise to save Hisui's life

”I guessed it was so like that After all, most eyewitness accounts took place around your house Most likely, it hen you accoht for walks?”

”Don't people inevitably feel like going to the convenience store or visiting a roadside raht? Apparently, vampires also have similar habits”

Hisui shi+fted his gaze away and muttered

His nostalgic tone of voice was truly filled with the kind of affection one held for a loved one

”H you had found some kind of clue, but it turns out to be this inane and stupid thing”

Rushella displayed undisguised anger

Mei frantically tried to ss over with an honest question

”But the vaht not necessarily be unrelated to you, right? You both appeared in the sah you missed each other due to separation of time, you both lived in the same house Doesn't this imply some sort of blood relation?”

”No no no They are completely unlike in appearance If you had to force a comparison, their only coant attitude Furthermore, the person in question said she had no blood relatives”

Hisui denied flatly

Failing in her bid for har On the other hand, Rushella continued to face Hisui with a stiff expression

”An otherworldly beauty, and yet you say she is completely unliketo say that I am such a super otherworldly beauty that even that otherworldly beauty does not even come close?”

”I think standards of beauty are very subjective, but in terms of attractiveness and common sense My foster parent definitely beats you”

Hisui once again asserted directly I, he entered a defensive pose

Defense readied The attack never arrived

Rushella turned her face just like that and walked back to her original position, not even giving hilance

”What is going on?”

Hisui asked Mei beside him

”I dunno~”

Fro

But Hisui was still clueless, scratching his head, he aardly stated their future direction

”In any case, regarding youras before But there's no need to do it as a club, right? It's not like the school has any clues”

Hisui's reasonable analysis caused Rushella's gaze to wander

Her voice much more timid than before, she asked:

”You Is it because of that? You have so else you want to do Another club?”

”No, not at all I did ht?”

”But, ued your mind and joined some other club, couldn't you?”

Arrogant and self-centered just earlier, she was now looking up at Hisui with pleading eyes -- as if afraid to anger him

But Hisui failed to notice the change in Rushella and simply answered indifferently

”Well If I happened to run into friends with similar interests and they invite ood with sports clubs As for cultural ones, I'd simply turn into a member in naonna drag et a part ti license to buy a ”

”W-Well what about, are you going to shack up with that fake or soet all lovey-dovey whatever”

”Huh? So like that Well I can't deny that I wouldn't want a girlfriend But it's not like we have to ether, that kind of feeling like couples is”

Just as Hisui ies of school life, Mei and Eruru sighed as they shook their heads

”I knew it!! That is why you treat ht!?”

”Huh!? I didn't say that”

”I-In any case, don't forget you are my servant, so you have to follow me properly after school! You hear that!? Participate in the club properly with me!!”

Rushella pressed forward

Even though she was intiainst this unreasonable master

”Then what do you wantlike I have to be alone with you!? You wantyou at your beck and call after school!?”

Hearing his words, Rushella instantly blushed

”U-Umm”

Her inti aura instantly vanished for soan to fidget with her fingers

”Actually, you ht!? What do you want to do to me after school!?”

Rushella could not help but retreat froation

”I-It's not like I want to do so to you, I mean”

”You mean?”

”J-Just”

”Just?”

Hisui took a step forward

Now their separation was the sa -- in other words, the intimately close distance where his blood could be sucked at any instant

Even though they were so close they could feel each other's breath, Hisui did not ht in the face

”S-Shut up!! You're not allowed to disobey me! You are my servant, just stay by my side and that's it!!”

”Huh!? What the heck!?”

Just as Hisui inclined his head in puzzlement, Rushella returned to her usual attitude

Her face blushi+ng, she looked towards Hisui with trepidation -- and then at the two girls beside him

The other two girls reazed at Rushella with a certain expression of amazement

As fellow girls, they understood Rushella's feelings

There was a sense of resonance and sympathy between them

Using easily understood terms, it was --

This girl really said it out

That see in concert

”S-Stop it, you're not allowed to look at aze!”

”It's fine, I didn't hear anything”

”The room seems a bit hot and stuffy, let us open thefor a bit”

The two girls tried hard to feign ignorance

But even Hisui could tell they were subtly suppressing laugher

”Oooh, oooooooooooh~~!!”

Wailing, her voice failing her, Rushella rushed out the door

”Ah, where are you going!?”

”S-Shut up, don't you dare follow!? I absolutely forbid you to chase after me!?”

Then she ran at full speed through the corridor, rushi+ng away into the distance

Presently, still stunned by the aftershock of Rushella's sprinting departure, Hisui sat back down on his seat completely puzzled

”What the heck is up with her”

”She's simply Possessive Don't people always love to tie up their pets with leashes?”

Mei answered as if she understood

Her words felt rather stinging to Hisui's ears

”I still don't get it What, you're trying to say, that girl not only treats me as food but also a pet to toy with!?”

Hisui asked, his face pallid Mei sied and asked Eruru:

”Eruru, did you hear his statement just now?”

”Yes, I heard it of course, Sudou-san What utterly worthless trash he is”

”Hey, what are you two talking about!? Did I do soirl!?”

”Despite hating vampires with a passion, I still sympathize with her as a fellow member of the fairer sex You are essentially like a favorite doll that one wishes to hug all day Her feelings are simply an extension of that”

”Eh, I'nity do I have!?”

”That sort of thing never existed anywhere on your person from day one From the day you were born”

”My entire life froarded completely!?”

”Since she left, I will be going You two better hurry up and leave as well, or else the vice president will give another lecture”

Eruru shut off her computer and stood up

Hisui and Mei exchanged glances and got ready to leave school

With that, no solution was reached for the club disbandan officially, it was already on the verge of natural demise

”Why are you following me?”

”No particular reason”

Eruru questioned with displeasure but Hisui continued to follow her with a nonchalant expression

Rushella had run off while Mei went home as usual

But Eruru continued staying behind in school

Hence Hisui started following her

Their distance was too close to be considered tailing, but neither were they walking together as there was clear separation between them

”If you have no business then go home? By the way, is it fine for you not to chase after her?”

”She told ht? So why should I waste the effort”

”There is a saying 'Do not push the button, absolutely do not push the button' Have you heard of it?”

”Huh? I said, even if I caught up to her, she'll definitely show a bad attitude, perhaps even resorting to punching and kicking, in the worst case I'll get my blood sucked”

”I a to refute your speculation, but if you do not chase after her, I fear even greater trouble will come of it”

”I will call you if I run into trouble, I'un and silver bullets”

”I will first blacklist your cellphone number”

”You never told ht?”

Physically they ithin arulf between them

On one side was the boy as raised by a vampire and currently a vampire's servant On the other was the half-vampire who hated vampires with a passion Essentially, the tere completely incompatible

”You should know your boundaries and stop following me, okay? I am about to call the police”

”You are the police, right? Anyway, you were the first to say you're leaving, but why are you still in school?”

”This has nothing to do with you Is that your reason for following me?”

”You Did you really coations about that girl?”

The mood instantly tensed

Eruru turned around and coldly glared at Hisui

”Are you calling me a liar?”
