**[00:14] ---**
It happened suddenly on
a quiet residential street.
**[00:19] ---**
Later!
**[00:20] ---**
Yeah, see you tomorrow!
**[00:38] ---**
Let me suck your blood...
**[00:46] ---**
Ms. A (Victim)
**[00:47] ---**
It was like totally, "Cut it out!"
**[00:49] ---**
Then he jumped at me and stuff, and I thought, "Crap! A molester!"
**[00:54] ---**
especially with all the deaths lately.
**[00:57] ---**
But before I could do anything,
I'd already been bitten by something.
**[01:01] ---**
I guess I passed out then,
**[01:04] ---**
and when I came to everything
around me was torn up like crazy!
**[01:08] ---**
Could you show us the bite marks?
**[01:12] ---**
Luckily for Ms. A, these were the only injuries she received.
**[01:16] ---**
However, the number of victims
similarly assaulted and killed
**[01:20] ---**
on streets at night has increased to
seven during the past three months.
**[01:23] ---**
The victims, all young women,
**[01:25] ---**
were left with puncture
marks similar to those of Ms. A.
**[01:29] ---**
Possibly due to this, a certain rumor
about the attacker began to spread:
**[01:36] ---**
people wondered if this
might be the work of a vampire.
**[01:39] ---**
Does a vampire exist here,
in 21st-century Japan?
**[01:44] ---**
Are these attacks in
Suginami the work of a vampire,
**[01:47] ---**
the legendary creature portrayed
in countless novels and movies?!
**[01:53] ---**
The scales of the goddess
will ascertain the truth tonight!
**[01:58] ---**
Vampires really do exist!
**[02:01] ---**
Put in the balance!
**[02:14] ---**
And the judgment is... false!
Vampires do *not* exist!
**[02:21] ---**
The Scales of Astraea
**[02:24] ---**
Street attacks in Suginami Ward
**[02:27] ---**
Do vampires really exist!?
**[02:29] ---**
Shocking evidence at
the scene of the crimes!?
**[02:33] ---**
Welcome to the show, where we dissect mysteries and legends live!
**[02:36] ---**
Yukinobu Tokita
Akane Sasanuma
**[02:39] ---**
The Scales of Astraea will
judge what's true and what's not!
**[02:43] ---**
Today's theme is the
series of attacks in Suginami
**[02:47] ---**
and debating whether or not vampires exist.
**[02:51] ---**
The first judgment was "false"!
Vampires *don't* exist, in other words!
**[02:56] ---**
Now let's hear from our panel of judges!
**[03:01] ---**
Okay! Our first judge is Professor
Isao Ebikawa, the famous historian!
**[03:08] ---**
They don't exist?
**[03:09] ---**
They don't exist. If they do,
I'd love to meet one!
**[03:14] ---**
Next is stage actress Hiroe Ubayama,
**[03:17] ---**
who stars in February's
"Go Home, Forty-Something."
**[03:19] ---**
Heya! Hiya!
**[03:22] ---**
You also say they don't exist?
**[03:24] ---**
They're just so scary!
**[03:26] ---**
I'm no good at all when it comes
to monsters and ghosts and all that!
**[03:30] ---**
Plus I'm somewhat anemic!
**[03:34] ---**
Our third judge is Yumi, a model for
"July," among many other things!
**[03:39] ---**
I just love vampire movies and manga and stuff!
**[03:43] ---**
That's why you say they exist?
**[03:46] ---**
Dracula and all those guys...
They're just so sexy!
**[03:49] ---**
You mentioned you love manga.
Sitting next to you is...
**[03:53] ---**
And I love Bloody Waltz!
That's why I'm so excited today!
**[03:57] ---**
...creator of Bloody Waltz and
many other vampire manga series,
**[04:01] ---**
manga artist Nozomu Tamaki!
**[04:08] ---**
Vampires don't exist. They're fiction.
**[04:11] ---**
That's how I can make comics about them.
**[04:12] ---**
Aww...
**[04:14] ---**
And the other judge who says
"true" --that vampires *do* exist--is...
**[04:19] ---**
'Bloody Waltz' MW Pictures
Opening March 13th
**[04:36] ---**
For you, an eternal kiss...
**[04:40] ---**
Bloody Waltz
**[04:42] ---**
Actor Seiichi Hirai, who stars
as the vampire prince Ryo Hibuse
**[04:48] ---**
in next month's movie, "Bloody Waltz"!
**[04:53] ---**
Despite Mr. Tamaki's beliefs,
**[04:55] ---**
since I actually play a vampire,
I like to think that they exist.
**[04:59] ---**
To be a vampire is to be a
proud incarnation of darkness.
**[05:03] ---**
So cool!
**[05:05] ---**
S-Suck me!
**[05:07] ---**
Okay! The Scales of Astraea
starts off three to two!
**[05:12] ---**
We have surprising evidence
*and* guests in store today!
**[05:15] ---**
Surprising?
**[05:17] ---**
Yes! The show has gone all-out!
**[05:19] ---**
I can't wait!
**[05:21] ---**
I'm TVC announcer Yukinobu Tokita...
**[05:25] ---**
...and I'm TVC announcer Akane Sasanuma!
**[05:30] ---**
And for the final judgment,
in addition to our panel of guest judges,
**[05:33] ---**
our viewers in the studio, the
viewers watching this broadcast, and...
**[05:39] ---**
Ms. Nera, in front of Shibuya Station!
**[05:42] ---**
Yes!
**[05:43] ---**
...and everyone watching on the
outdoor monitor will cast their votes!
**[05:46] ---**
The votes will then be tallied
and the final verdict given!
**[05:50] ---**
What will the goddess say
about the existence of vampires?!
**[05:54] ---**
Put in the balance!
**[05:56] ---**
Are vampires real? Or not?
Shocking evidence, coming soon!
**[05:56] ---**
This program is brought to you by
**[05:59] ---**
Lorenzo Chemical Industries: striving for a sustained future;
**[06:02] ---**
Wolf Pack Total Security;
and "Bloody Waltz" the movie.
**[06:10] ---**
Now then, let's bring out today's proposer!
**[06:19] ---**
I'm Neiro Tanaka! I'm glad to be here!
**[06:25] ---**
Umm, how much do you know about vampires?
**[06:29] ---**
I know! They suck blood!
**[06:31] ---**
Yes, they do. Anything else?
**[06:33] ---**
They're weak against stuff like
crosses, and... Oh, yeah! Garlic!
**[06:38] ---**
They have an extensive list of weaknesses.
**[06:41] ---**
They can't cross water.
Sunlight turns them into ash.
**[06:45] ---**
They don't cast shadows.
They don't have reflections.
**[06:48] ---**
There are too many to count!
**[06:51] ---**
That fleetingness is what makes them great.
**[06:54] ---**
Mr. Tamaki. Do you include
all these in your manga?
**[06:57] ---**
It makes them too weak, so I toss a lot out.
**[07:00] ---**
Sunlight turning them to
ash is where I draw the line.
**[07:03] ---**
Well, actually, witnesses
to vampire-caused incidents
**[07:07] ---**
have been on the rise
throughout the world lately!
**[07:11] ---**
Oh, no! They're on the rise! Don't tell me that!
**[07:17] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[07:19] ---**
Umm, anyway,
**[07:20] ---**
cases that happen in one area
like the Suginami incidents are rare,
**[07:26] ---**
but witnesses to incidents *are* on the rise!
**[07:29] ---**
Probably because of the bad economy.
**[07:30] ---**
Huh?
**[07:31] ---**
Yes. The theory that vampires are
popular during bad economic times
**[07:34] ---**
and Frankenstein is popular
during good economic times.
**[07:37] ---**
Japan's economy is
supposedly on the rise, though.
**[07:40] ---**
Japan's is.
**[07:41] ---**
But the global impact of last year's
"dollar crisis" is still in full effect.
**[07:48] ---**
Frankenstein's monster has the
image of "coming back to life"...
**[07:53] ---**
Ah!
**[07:57] ---**
Oh? Yumi?
**[07:59] ---**
Professor Ebikawa is cool!
**[08:03] ---**
The Suginami incidents have that
sense of death and sluggishness...
**[08:07] ---**
What does the economy have to do with it?
**[08:09] ---**
Vampires are popular during times
of stagnation due to their fleetingness,
**[08:15] ---**
their hilariously abundant weaknesses,
and the aesthetic image they have.
**[08:19] ---**
I believe that's how the analysis goes.
**[08:21] ---**
Oh!
**[08:22] ---**
Plus, suicides increase
during bad economic times.
**[08:26] ---**
I think this association
with the dead may be related
**[08:28] ---**
to the increase of people
claiming to see vampires.
**[08:31] ---**
These are someone's crimes of
pleasure--or perhaps copycat crimes--
**[08:34] ---**
spurred on by fiction that
only further fans the flames.
**[08:38] ---**
That is my belief, anyway.
**[08:40] ---**
I think it's unfair to
blame it on manga and anime.
**[08:44] ---**
It was only a generalization.
**[08:46] ---**
In any case, these creatures
portrayed in countless legends
**[08:50] ---**
that are in a way so extremely
weak cannot possibly exist!
**[09:03] ---**
Now that the debate is heating up,
**[09:06] ---**
let's hear what members of the audience think!
**[09:09] ---**
Ms. Sasanuma!
**[09:10] ---**
Little girl?
**[09:12] ---**
It's late, isn't it? Are you sleepy?
**[09:15] ---**
I'm sorry. It's hard to
understand what they're saying.
**[09:18] ---**
Are you from another country?
**[09:21] ---**
Yeah. Romania.
**[09:23] ---**
Oh, that's the home of vampires!
**[09:24] ---**
So, what do you think? Are vampires real?
**[09:27] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:28] ---**
Why is that?
**[09:29] ---**
Hey, can I ask something?
What are real vampires like?
**[09:34] ---**
Well, they're like what Professor
Ebikawa and the others said earlier...
**[09:38] ---**
They're fairy tales, right?
I've heard them before.
**[09:42] ---**
But is it true what happened?
**[09:45] ---**
I'm not really...
**[09:46] ---**
If you don't know if it's true,
**[09:48] ---**
then isn't it strange to say they can't be real
**[09:50] ---**
just because it'd be too
strange for the story to be true?
**[09:52] ---**
Umm, well...
**[09:53] ---**
I guess this just goes to show
**[09:55] ---**
how differently someone born in
the region thinks about the subject!
**[09:58] ---**
Now then, with the scales greatly tipped,
**[10:01] ---**
let's bring out even further material evidence!
**[10:03] ---**
The latest victim of the
Suginami attacks was Ms. A.
**[10:09] ---**
When Ms. A awoke, everything
nearby had been destroyed,
**[10:13] ---**
as if there had been a fight.
**[10:15] ---**
We searched for witnesses,
**[10:17] ---**
when one day, we received a tip.
**[10:20] ---**
Are you serious?!
**[10:22] ---**
Yes. It was one of our people who
stopped him from attacking the girl.
**[10:27] ---**
Unfortunately, we failed to kill him.
**[10:30] ---**
Why... or should I say *how* did you do that?
**[10:33] ---**
The princess ordered it.
**[10:35] ---**
She had been deeply troubled
by the acts of this lowly heretic.
**[10:40] ---**
"Princess"?!
**[10:41] ---**
Yes. Our mistress and
"true-blood" ruler of the vampires.
**[10:47] ---**
A woman claiming to be a
servant of the ruler of vampires
**[10:50] ---**
suddenly contacted us!
**[10:52] ---**
We headed to a specified
location to meet with her in person.
**[10:57] ---**
Welcome to our mistress' mansion.
**[11:05] ---**
Shocking evidence, after the commercial
Who is the ruler of the vampires!?
**[11:09] ---**
Now let's bring out our
special guest, Ms. Veratos!
**[11:15] ---**
The ruler...
**[11:16] ---**
...of the vampires?!
**[11:22] ---**
Veratos
**[11:25] ---**
What huge boobs!
**[11:27] ---**
She's got me beat...
**[11:31] ---**
Mr. Ebikawa. You appear
to have something to say.
**[11:35] ---**
Oh, it's just all of a sudden you
bring out a so-called "vampire ruler"?
**[11:40] ---**
This is rather hard to believe!
**[11:42] ---**
You'd make a much better
damsel in distress, if you ask me.
**[11:45] ---**
I'm honored by your praise.
**[11:47] ---**
No, he isn't praising you!
**[11:50] ---**
You're right to be doubtful.
Seeing *is* believing.
**[11:54] ---**
Have a look at this first.
**[11:57] ---**
Yes! Ms. Vera has brought
shocking evidence with her today!
**[12:02] ---**
This program has made a major scoop!
**[12:04] ---**
This was supposedly recovered
from the scene of Ms. A's attack!
**[12:07] ---**
The vampire's arm!
**[12:15] ---**
This is from the scene of the crime, Ms. Vera?
**[12:18] ---**
Yes.
**[12:19] ---**
It's the arm of the fool
who attacked Ms. A, was it?
**[12:24] ---**
It looks frozen.
**[12:26] ---**
Oh, it's apparently been encased
**[12:28] ---**
to prevent it from decaying
**[12:30] ---**
or breaking down in the sunlight.
**[12:31] ---**
Lorenzo Pharmaceuticals
**[12:32] ---**
Incidentally, Lorenzo Pharmaceuticals provided the case, correct?
**[12:35] ---**
Yes.
**[12:36] ---**
So I'm told the cellular tissue is still alive.
**[12:39] ---**
Gross!
**[12:41] ---**
This is nonsense.
**[12:42] ---**
Did you perform a biochemical test?
What do the DNA tests say?
**[12:45] ---**
If this is really a vampire's arm,
then I'd love to see some scientific proof!
**[12:50] ---**
Mr. Ebikawa, was it?
**[12:52] ---**
You seem very intent on
denying the existence of vampires.
**[12:56] ---**
Are you that frightened by us?
**[12:58] ---**
N-Nothing of the sort!
**[13:00] ---**
There's nothing to be afraid of.
We won't suck your blood.
**[13:04] ---**
We have the right to choose, you see.
**[13:07] ---**
Fine, let's say for a
minute that this arm *is* real.
**[13:10] ---**
Why would you go and show it off in public?!
**[13:12] ---**
If it was real, surely you'd hide it!
**[13:15] ---**
I'm not so sure.
**[13:18] ---**
What do you mean, little girl?
**[13:20] ---**
They said one of the princess'
people failed to kill it, right?
**[13:24] ---**
They also said that arm is still alive.
**[13:27] ---**
So?
**[13:28] ---**
This country has an old story, right?
**[13:30] ---**
The story where an ogre that
lost its arm comes to get it back.
**[13:34] ---**
You mean the Ogre of
Rashomon. Watanabe no Tsuna.
**[13:37] ---**
In which case, saying, "Hey, here it is!"
**[13:40] ---**
might make the vampire that
wants its arm back actually show up.
**[13:45] ---**
See?
**[13:49] ---**
Th-Things are getting intense inside the studio;
**[13:52] ---**
let's hear what the people
on the street think now!
**[13:55] ---**
Ms. Nera!
**[13:56] ---**
Right!
**[13:57] ---**
Excuse me, do you have a moment?
**[14:00] ---**
You!
**[14:01] ---**
What? Do you want something?
**[14:07] ---**
Ms. Nera?
**[14:08] ---**
U-Umm, do you think vampires are real?
**[14:13] ---**
Huh? What're you talking
about? Of course they're not.
**[14:24] ---**
Looks like there aren't many
believers after all, little girl.
**[14:28] ---**
What do you say we have our second verdict now?
**[14:31] ---**
Not so fast. That arm is most definitely real.
**[14:34] ---**
If you don't think so, then expose
it to sunlight and see for yourself.
**[14:37] ---**
That will prove everything.
**[14:39] ---**
Enough of this! You know full well we can't do that here!
**[14:42] ---**
How long are you going to keep this act up?!
**[14:44] ---**
It's obvious the show put you up to this!
**[14:47] ---**
Oh, my. How distressing.
I've stated nothing but the truth.
**[14:53] ---**
So you really insist you're
the ruler of the vampires?
**[15:01] ---**
Not even I can swallow that!
**[15:05] ---**
I find that hard to believe.
I refuse to accept it!
**[15:11] ---**
Yes! Vampires?! Those are the
figments of fairy tales! They're fiction!
**[15:17] ---**
Yet, you have the nerve to--
**[15:19] ---**
I don't blame you for not believing me.
**[15:21] ---**
We've always remained hidden in
the darkness of mankind's history.
**[15:26] ---**
Sometimes we would
purposely leak false information
**[15:29] ---**
to further fictionalize our existence,
**[15:32] ---**
while manipulating human wars,
economies, and religions at other times.
**[15:38] ---**
Then why reveal yourself now?!
**[15:41] ---**
And why on a crappy TV show, of all things?!
**[15:44] ---**
I don't know who gave him his blood,
**[15:48] ---**
but we are troubled by this
lowlife without any common sense
**[15:51] ---**
who has been going around murdering people.
**[15:53] ---**
We must not kill people recklessly.
**[15:56] ---**
That is an absolute order from the Royal Family.
**[15:59] ---**
Only the lowest scum would disobey that order
**[16:02] ---**
and be indiscrete about it.
**[16:05] ---**
So, vampires have a society of their own?
**[16:08] ---**
Yes.
**[16:09] ---**
The Royal Family is at the top,
**[16:11] ---**
with the Three Clans and
their blood kin below that.
**[16:14] ---**
Blood relation grows thinner the
farther down the bloodline you go,
**[16:18] ---**
and lower-ranking vampires must
obey the orders of higher-ranking ones.
**[16:21] ---**
That is the law of the vampires
and a part of their nature they can’t fight.
**[16:26] ---**
It's safe to say that today's
culprit is the lowest of the low.
**[16:29] ---**
I'm hesitant to even call him one of us.
**[16:31] ---**
He's more like a stray vampire
without any sense of aesthetics or pride.
**[16:35] ---**
Wouldn't you agree...
**[16:37] ---**
...Vampire Prince?
**[16:40] ---**
I, uhh...
**[16:41] ---**
You agree, don't you, that the
owner of this right arm is garbage?
**[16:47] ---**
Shut up, you bitch...
**[16:51] ---**
Mr. Manga Artist. Can I ask a question?
**[16:54] ---**
In your manga, which hand does
Ryo Hibuse wear a glove on again?
**[16:59] ---**
His left hand, of co--
**[17:01] ---**
I am... I am the noble king of the night!
**[17:06] ---**
I refuse to obey anyone!
**[17:17] ---**
I finally got it back!
**[17:27] ---**
Mr. Hirai...?
**[17:32] ---**
For you, an eternal kiss!
**[17:41] ---**
Delicious!
**[17:45] ---**
I can't believe vampires really exist!
**[18:09] ---**
Ruler, my ass!
**[18:11] ---**
Die!
**[18:16] ---**
Nelly! Nero!
**[18:34] ---**
Beowulfs!
**[18:39] ---**
Damn you all...!
**[18:45] ---**
What?! You're still filming?!
**[18:47] ---**
We can't miss this chance!
**[18:49] ---**
Portable camera! ♪4! Tokita! Go with 'em!
**[18:57] ---**
Up there! After him!
**[18:58] ---**
Please Wait
**[18:59] ---**
What are you doing? Hurry and stop the broadcast!
**[19:01] ---**
Wait, Vera.
**[19:02] ---**
Princess!
**[19:03] ---**
Never mind that.
**[19:04] ---**
Given the situation, we'll have to jump ahead in the plan.
**[19:07] ---**
But that's...
**[19:08] ---**
Where's the portable camera?!
**[19:09] ---**
On the roof!
**[19:10] ---**
Connect us!
**[19:12] ---**
I'm on the roof of the TVC building!
**[19:15] ---**
A-Are we dreaming?! Before
my very eyes is a v-vampire!
**[19:20] ---**
My subordinate failed me the other day.
**[19:23] ---**
Tonight I shall destroy you totally.
**[19:26] ---**
Wait, Wolf.
**[19:36] ---**
Princess!
**[19:37] ---**
I will finish things here. Is that clear?
**[19:40] ---**
Yes.
**[19:41] ---**
You can tell me about Akira afterward.
**[19:44] ---**
Yes.
**[19:47] ---**
I knew I'd hit the jackpot
using this farce to lure you out,
**[19:50] ---**
but I never imagined you were hiding so nearby.
**[19:54] ---**
This world is truly interesting.
Don't you think so...
**[19:58] ---**
...scum?
**[20:00] ---**
What an ugly form.
**[20:02] ---**
The form one takes is a reflection of the heart.
**[20:05] ---**
I guess that means this is the
embodiment of an arrogant ego.
**[20:09] ---**
How sad.
**[20:11] ---**
Shut up!
**[20:16] ---**
What... are you...?!
**[20:20] ---**
I am Mina Tepeş.
**[20:22] ---**
Blood descendant of Vlad,
the Son of the Dragon,
**[20:25] ---**
and rightful ruler of the vampires!
**[20:29] ---**
I hereby order you to die.
**[20:32] ---**
No... I...
**[20:52] ---**
Hear me, little humans,
**[20:54] ---**
and think about what you have just witnessed!
**[20:58] ---**
You're... really the ruler of the vampires?
**[21:02] ---**
You doubt me? In that case,
shall I suck your blood?
**[21:08] ---**
We are the blood kin of darkness,
**[21:10] ---**
the ones who hide in the dark of
night and the shadows of human history.
**[21:15] ---**
Until now, anyway.
**[21:17] ---**
Wh-Why...?
**[21:20] ---**
Can you see it? That distant "bund,"
Tokyo Landfill ♪0...
**[21:26] ---**
On that land, I will establish the
kingdom of our kin of darkness...
**[21:30] ---**
I will establish our vampire bund!
**[21:38] ---**
Now, dance with me!
**[21:44] ---**
Prom Night
**[21:56] ---**
*As I doze in the darkness, black shadows*
**[22:02] ---**
*dig their nails into soft skin*
**[22:07] ---**
*Drunk from pleasure, the ignorant ones rush*
**[22:18] ---**
*Sweet, unrestrained impulses*
**[22:24] ---**
*The pointlessness only incites them even more*
**[22:30] ---**
*Now dress up with the cloth that
swallows all the light of the night*
**[22:35] ---**
*and dance*
**[22:42] ---**
*Clumsy nails touch a heart about to break*
**[22:47] ---**
*and creep to the top of the throat*
**[22:53] ---**
*A world that needs protecting
and a purity I want to protect...*
**[22:58] ---**
*I'll bear the momentary pain*
**[23:04] ---**
*and then fall fettered again*
**[23:18] ---**
Dance with the Vampire Maids!
**[23:20] ---**
Part 1!
**[23:24] ---**
There he is! Target located!
**[23:26] ---**
Nero, you take the right!
**[23:27] ---**
Right!
**[23:28] ---**
Nella, you take the left!
**[23:30] ---**
Alright!
**[23:33] ---**
You're that interviewer! What are you doing?!
**[23:36] ---**
We can't let you be here!
**[23:38] ---**
Huh?! Why not?!
**[23:39] ---**
Got him!
**[23:40] ---**
Get 'im, Nella!
**[23:42] ---**
We're just gonna hit you and
make you lose your memory!
**[23:44] ---**
That'll do more than that!

**[00:23] ---**
Hey...
**[00:27] ---**
Hey.
**[00:30] ---**
What's wrong?
**[00:32] ---**
Does your stomach hurt?
**[00:43] ---**
Let's go.
**[00:45] ---**
*It was a story of a promise.*
**[00:55] ---**
*A tale of the great ruler of monsters*
**[00:59] ---**
*and the boy who gave his all to her...*
**[01:02] ---**
*Back then, I always believed
that it began on this day.*
**[01:09] ---**
...destroyed the Byzantine Empire,
**[01:11] ---**
and, despite resistance from
the lords of the Balkan Peninsula...
**[01:15] ---**
That's Dracula!
**[01:18] ---**
Umm... yes.
**[01:20] ---**
Vlad Tepeş, a Romanian, is one example of...
**[01:24] ---**
Huh?! What?!
**[01:25] ---**
Dracula is real?!
**[01:27] ---**
You mean you didn't know?!
**[01:28] ---**
Isn't Tepeş that princess' name?!
**[01:30] ---**
Quiet! Please be quiet, everyone!
**[01:33] ---**
The Vlad III you know is only
a figment of movies and novels--
**[01:40] ---**
Sister Laura.
**[01:42] ---**
Y-Yes?
**[01:45] ---**
Sorry. I need to pee.
**[01:48] ---**
Oh. Yes. Please go ahead.
**[01:51] ---**
Man!
**[01:52] ---**
Don't scare us like that!
**[01:53] ---**
You're hopeless, you know that?
**[01:56] ---**
*Everyone was talking about vampires.*
**[02:00] ---**
*But every time the subject came up,
he would get grumpy for some reason.*
**[02:06] ---**
*That's right. I still had no idea.*
**[02:10] ---**
*And he himself had forgotten what happened.*
**[02:16] ---**
*Damn it. Why?*
**[02:18] ---**
*Why do I feel uneasy?*
**[02:21] ---**
*Their story began much longer ago.*
**[02:25] ---**
*Long before I met Akira Kaburagi.*
**[02:47] ---**
*Say, do you remember*
**[02:53] ---**
*that song that goes
perfect with the setting sun?*
**[02:58] ---**
*Even though you were always quiet*
**[03:04] ---**
*you always sadly sang it to yourself*
**[03:11] ---**
*but time has passed*
**[03:16] ---**
*and now it's a sepia-colored melody, oh*
**[03:23] ---**
*You'll never return again, oh friends*
**[03:29] ---**
*You seem even more distant than a stranger*
**[03:35] ---**
*You were always running, oh friends*
**[03:41] ---**
*How I love those eyes of yours*
**[04:05] ---**
The Chief Cabinet Secretary's
announcement confirms
**[04:09] ---**
that Mina Tepeş has legally
purchased all of Landfill ♪0,
**[04:14] ---**
and the government is now under
pressure to take appropriate measures.
**[04:17] ---**
Whoa, seriously?! Vampires must be loaded!
**[04:21] ---**
What, you actually believe in vampires?
**[04:24] ---**
I saw it myself on last week's
Astraea! That was the real deal!
**[04:28] ---**
But if vampires are real, then what
about other stuff like werewolves?
**[04:33] ---**
And Frankenstein?
**[04:41] ---**
Yuki?
**[04:42] ---**
Lunch delivery!
**[04:45] ---**
Thanks--
**[04:52] ---**
Safe!
**[04:54] ---**
Out!
**[04:57] ---**
You saw.
**[04:58] ---**
I didn't.
**[04:59] ---**
Liar! I know you saw!
**[05:01] ---**
I swear I didn't!
**[05:06] ---**
Okay, fine! I saw! I'm sorry!
**[05:10] ---**
I'll forget it right away.
Will that make you happy?
**[05:12] ---**
No.
**[05:14] ---**
What do you want me to say?!
**[05:16] ---**
It's just, you never seem interested in...
**[05:20] ---**
Huh? Did you say something?
**[05:30] ---**
Thanks, Yuki.
**[05:33] ---**
You're concerned about me.
**[05:35] ---**
You know, because I left class and stuff...
**[05:40] ---**
Dimwit.
**[05:42] ---**
Whatever!
**[05:44] ---**
Ms. Saegusa!
**[05:45] ---**
I have a question about the
financial report. Do you have a minute?
**[05:50] ---**
Yes, Class President!
**[05:58] ---**
Hey, wuss!
**[06:03] ---**
Should I have made a move then?
**[06:06] ---**
She would've beaten you up if you had.
**[06:09] ---**
Right?
**[06:14] ---**
Saegusa's nice.
**[06:16] ---**
Yeah.
**[06:19] ---**
Hey. Why won't you try harder?
**[06:23] ---**
Try harder at what?
**[06:26] ---**
Everything.
**[06:30] ---**
I don't know how to explain it, it's just...
**[06:34] ---**
I feel like things are fine this way.
**[06:37] ---**
You've really changed.
You were a lot cooler before.
**[06:46] ---**
But I guess that's just how it is, huh?
**[06:50] ---**
Sorry.
**[06:51] ---**
Oh, there you are, Kuze!
**[06:54] ---**
Can you use your student council connections
**[06:57] ---**
so we can use the AV room after school?
**[06:58] ---**
Huh? I *can*, but what for this time?
**[07:02] ---**
Princess Mina's gonna
have another press conference!
**[07:04] ---**
We wanna see it on the big screen!
**[07:07] ---**
Forget it, then. Vampires aren't real.
Don't let the media control you.
**[07:14] ---**
Kaburagi! Say something, will you?!
Don't you wanna see Mina too?!
**[07:18] ---**
Mina?
**[07:20] ---**
Are you serious or are you joking?
**[07:21] ---**
You know! Mina, the vampire
ruler everyone's talking about now?!
**[07:27] ---**
Oh, yeah.
**[07:28] ---**
Don't give us that! They interviewed
you on that episode of Astraea!
**[07:33] ---**
Vampires don't interest me.
**[07:36] ---**
I don't watch TV shows or the news, either.
**[07:39] ---**
Hey, Kaburagi!
**[07:49] ---**
*More vampire stuff? Why am I...?*
**[08:19] ---**
Do you want something?
**[08:22] ---**
Hey!
**[08:23] ---**
Stay away!
**[08:51] ---**
Akira?!
**[09:20] ---**
Will you really be okay by yourself?
**[09:23] ---**
Yeah. Sorry for worrying you.
**[09:28] ---**
Sheesh. You really scared me back there.
**[09:31] ---**
Yeah. I was surprised too.
**[09:38] ---**
Head injuries are scary, plus
something happened to you just now.
**[09:44] ---**
You need to listen to your
doctor and get this taken care of!
**[09:50] ---**
Alright.
**[09:52] ---**
Then promise me.
**[09:54] ---**
Promise you'll tell your doctor about
today and get yourself checked out!
**[09:59] ---**
Don't worry! I will!
**[10:05] ---**
Okay.
**[10:15] ---**
Try harder, huh...
**[10:23] ---**
One: I drink the blood of the living!
**[10:31] ---**
Two: I devote myself to
the karma of the immortal!
**[10:36] ---**
Three: I shall marshal the fiends
of the disordered world of the dead!
**[10:44] ---**
Mina Tepeş?!
**[10:46] ---**
Indeed!
**[10:48] ---**
Are you for real?
**[10:50] ---**
Are you asking if I'm really a vampire?
**[10:55] ---**
Or are you asking if I'm really Mina Tepeş?
**[11:00] ---**
The answer is the same either way, though.
**[11:03] ---**
I am the genuine, one and only--
**[11:06] ---**
Hey! Wait!
**[11:14] ---**
Oww...
**[11:21] ---**
These clothes are so difficult to move in!
**[11:33] ---**
Don't assume I'm always like this!
**[11:36] ---**
Why did you come to me?
**[11:40] ---**
Why... were you crying then?
**[11:45] ---**
You really don't remember anything, do you?
**[11:52] ---**
Princess!
**[11:57] ---**
Damn! What the hell was that?!
**[12:01] ---**
Have you...?
**[12:03] ---**
Why did I just...?
**[12:25] ---**
Oh? It's already begun?
**[12:28] ---**
No, that's someone else.
**[12:31] ---**
Yeah.
**[12:32] ---**
There must be a ton of people
who've been waiting for a chance like this.
**[12:38] ---**
We're very sorry.
**[12:40] ---**
Due to unexplained explosions
nearby, service is temporarily halted.
**[12:48] ---**
Who were those guys?!
**[12:50] ---**
Who knows. There are many who want me dead.
**[12:54] ---**
Humans and non-humans alike.
**[12:57] ---**
Still, they'll just attack like that?!
**[12:59] ---**
Some will. It isn't that
easy to kill me, after all.
**[13:06] ---**
Maybe until now, anyway.
**[13:10] ---**
The Shade Gel is about to wear off.
**[13:13] ---**
Shade Gel?
**[13:15] ---**
A drug that prevents
sunlight from destroying our cells.
**[13:20] ---**
I have less than a minute.
**[13:22] ---**
What happens then?
**[13:25] ---**
I'll turn to ash.
**[13:26] ---**
Don't say that so lightly!
**[13:29] ---**
Whatever shall I do? I do
have some gel right here, but...
**[13:40] ---**
Damn. How did I get dragged into this?!
**[13:45] ---**
Why?
**[13:46] ---**
That's what I want to know, Princess!
**[13:53] ---**
I can't remove these clothes by myself.
**[13:59] ---**
Are you unsure you can control
yourself if you see me naked?
**[14:06] ---**
Who'd like a little kid's body like yours?!
**[14:09] ---**
A little kid's...
**[14:14] ---**
A little kid’s body… Yes, that it is.
**[14:21] ---**
I have to rub it on too?!
**[14:23] ---**
What’s the matter? I thought a
little kid’s body wasn’t a big deal to you.
**[14:28] ---**
It isn’t!
**[14:38] ---**
Hey. Are people always
trying to kill you like that?
**[14:43] ---**
Yes.
**[14:45] ---**
So you walked around alone anyway?
Why would you do that?
**[14:54] ---**
Your pinky called out to me.
**[15:05] ---**
So I took a chance.
**[15:09] ---**
But it looks like I lost that bet.
**[15:17] ---**
Who's there?!
**[15:19] ---**
Police!
**[15:20] ---**
There was a terrorist bombing
nearby. What are you two doing here?!
**[15:25] ---**
Would you mind talking to us?!
**[15:27] ---**
Get back!
**[15:48] ---**
How did you know they were assassins?
**[15:52] ---**
Somehow I just smelled it...
**[15:56] ---**
A human, huh? Who do you work for?
**[16:00] ---**
No, you needn't force yourself to talk.
**[16:03] ---**
You'll talk willingly soon enough.
**[16:09] ---**
Observe! This is what I am!
**[16:13] ---**
The ruler of the vampires!
**[16:31] ---**
That was Akira...
**[16:38] ---**
I'll be safe over there. I offer my thanks.
**[16:46] ---**
So you really are a vampire...
**[16:49] ---**
That's what I've been
saying from the very start.
**[16:54] ---**
Why did you suddenly show up
**[16:56] ---**
and announce you're going
to build a country over there?
**[17:01] ---**
To prepare for battle, I guess.
**[17:06] ---**
Then let me ask you this.
**[17:09] ---**
Are you happy as you are now?
**[17:14] ---**
I don't have any memories.
**[17:19] ---**
I was in an accident this time last year.
**[17:23] ---**
Funny, isn't it? Sixteen years,
gone just like that.
**[17:28] ---**
But I have friends who
are still my friends anyway,
**[17:35] ---**
and there's a girl who worries about me too.
**[17:39] ---**
So, I guess I'm happy...
**[17:49] ---**
Farewell. I'm going now.
**[18:01] ---**
Akira...
**[18:09] ---**
I cried because I was happy to see you.
**[18:13] ---**
How do you know my name?
**[18:24] ---**
I've been expecting you.
**[18:27] ---**
I've been sent to serve as your guide.
**[18:33] ---**
Oh? My guide to where?
**[18:35] ---**
To our organization.
**[18:37] ---**
So there's another, huh?
**[18:39] ---**
H-Hey!
**[18:40] ---**
Stay back! This is the realm of the night!
**[18:43] ---**
As one who lives in the
daytime world, you must stay out!
**[18:49] ---**
Look at me, Princess!
**[18:55] ---**
You're...!
**[18:59] ---**
It's no use.
**[19:00] ---**
Of what lineage are you?!
**[19:03] ---**
Damn!
**[19:04] ---**
Could you please stay out of this?!
**[19:27] ---**
Stop! He has nothing to do with this!
**[19:35] ---**
Oh? Is he that important to you?
**[19:41] ---**
Won't talk? In that case...
**[19:47] ---**
Stop!
**[19:50] ---**
*Why do you cry?*
**[19:54] ---**
Why are you crying? Does your stomach hurt?
**[20:02] ---**
Princess...
**[20:05] ---**
Don't cry.
**[20:06] ---**
I promise. I'll protect you.
I'll always be by your side.
**[20:13] ---**
So...
**[20:15] ---**
So... don't cry...
**[20:19] ---**
Akira!
**[20:26] ---**
Splat!
**[20:50] ---**
This can't be! He's...!
**[20:54] ---**
*That's right. I'm...*
**[20:57] ---**
...a member of the Earth Clan!
**[21:00] ---**
S-Stay away!
**[21:08] ---**
Akira!
**[21:24] ---**
*It was a story of a promise.*
**[21:28] ---**
Akira!
**[21:32] ---**
*A tale of the great ruler of monsters,
the boy who gave his all to her,*
**[21:38] ---**
*and their beautiful, fleeting love.*
**[21:57] ---**
*As I doze in the darkness, black shadows*
**[22:02] ---**
*dig their nails into soft skin*

**[23:20] ---**
Part 2!
**[23:21] ---**
What the...?!
**[23:23] ---**
How dare you rub your
hands all over the princess' body!
**[23:26] ---**
Raging Heart
**[23:26] ---**
Atone with your death!
**[23:28] ---**
Don't worry! It'll only hurt at the beginning!
**[23:32] ---**
Get real! Touching that flat-chested
washboard didn't make me happy!
**[23:35] ---**
Flat-chested washboard, huh?
**[23:38] ---**
Huh?
**[23:39] ---**
Who'd like to see a filleted werewolf?
**[23:41] ---**
I do!
**[23:43] ---**
Don't worry! It'll only hurt at the beginning!
**[23:43] ---**
Is this how it's gonna be every time?!

**[00:27] ---**
This can't be! He's...!
**[00:30] ---**
...a member of the Earth Clan!
**[00:39] ---**
Akira!
**[00:54] ---**
What a dream... Where am I?
**[01:00] ---**
*Oh. That wasn't a dream...*
**[01:11] ---**
Akira...
**[01:15] ---**
This isn't a dream, is it?
**[01:22] ---**
Tell me, Akira. Who am I?
**[01:25] ---**
Princess... Mina.
**[01:27] ---**
What is your full name?
**[01:31] ---**
Akira Kaburagi Regendorf.
**[01:33] ---**
Who are you?
**[01:35] ---**
A werewolf. A member of the Earth Clan.
**[01:38] ---**
Excellent!
**[01:39] ---**
Good morning, Princess!
**[01:43] ---**
Though it's technically not morning anymore.
**[01:46] ---**
Who are you?
**[01:48] ---**
My maids.
**[01:50] ---**
Okay, Nelly, Nella, Nero! Begin your work!
**[01:54] ---**
As you wish!
**[02:09] ---**
Your hands are in the way. Please move them.
**[02:11] ---**
No, I can do it myself!
**[02:14] ---**
You refuse to let me do my job?
**[02:16] ---**
H-Hey, Princess! Do something, will you?!
**[02:20] ---**
Wh-What's going on, anyway?!
**[02:22] ---**
What do you think? Does it suit me?
**[02:25] ---**
Hold on! That outfit...!
**[02:26] ---**
I look sharp, don't I?
**[02:30] ---**
*It was as if a bolt from the blue
had struck during that quiet afternoon.*
**[02:38] ---**
My name is Mina Tepeş.
**[02:40] ---**
It was through fate that I've come to this land.
**[02:42] ---**
I am pleased to make your acquaintances.
**[02:45] ---**
How did this happen?
**[02:48] ---**
*On this day, our school became a stage*
**[02:52] ---**
*for the dazzling rondo of the vampires.*
**[03:13] ---**
*nee kimi wa oboeteiru*

**[04:31] ---**
The vampire?!
**[04:32] ---**
Is this for real?
**[04:33] ---**
Why?!
**[04:34] ---**
A high school student?!
**[04:35] ---**
Oh, lovely Mina!
**[04:36] ---**
P-Please take your seat now.
**[04:39] ---**
Sister Laura.
**[04:41] ---**
Y-Yes?!
**[04:42] ---**
Don't be afraid. I won't suddenly bite you.
**[04:47] ---**
A servant of mine is a member of this class.
**[04:52] ---**
I wish to have a seat next to him.
**[04:55] ---**
Your... servant?
**[04:58] ---**
Yes.
**[05:00] ---**
Kaburagi Akira.
**[05:03] ---**
Akira?!
**[05:07] ---**
I'm sorry, Sister. I only
intended to give my greeting today,
**[05:12] ---**
so I will be leaving now.
**[05:14] ---**
Akira. Come to the
chairwoman's office after class.
**[05:18] ---**
Understood?
**[05:20] ---**
All right...
**[05:26] ---**
What's going on?!
**[05:28] ---**
You're a vampire's servant?!
**[05:30] ---**
Yeah! Explain it to us!
**[05:33] ---**
Yesterday you said you
didn't care about vampires!
**[05:35] ---**
Butt out, you guys!
**[05:37] ---**
No! We can't just ignore this!
**[05:39] ---**
Yeah! Give us details!
**[05:50] ---**
Bathroom.
**[05:56] ---**
He ran away!
**[05:57] ---**
Stop! Akira!
**[05:58] ---**
That's not fair!
**[06:00] ---**
Saegusa. Has Akira told you anything?
**[06:05] ---**
Attention, student council members.
**[06:09] ---**
We are holding an emergency council meeting.
**[06:13] ---**
All officers and executives,
**[06:15] ---**
please gather in the student
council office immediately.
**[06:17] ---**
Saegusa!
**[06:19] ---**
I repeat, attention, student council--
**[06:25] ---**
*Damn! I'm the one who wants an explanation!*
**[06:31] ---**
*I have some memory back now, but not all of it!*
**[06:35] ---**
Next year, on your 17th birthday,
in accordance with the ancient vow,
**[06:41] ---**
you will become the princess'
servant and remain by her side.
**[06:47] ---**
This assignment will serve as a litmus
test to see if you have what it takes.
**[06:53] ---**
Do your utmost.
**[06:56] ---**
I know, Dad.
**[07:00] ---**
*It must've been after that that I...*
**[07:04] ---**
Damn, it's still too fuzzy.
**[07:09] ---**
Message from Vera
**[07:10] ---**
The princess is calling for you.
Please hurry here. Or else...
**[07:18] ---**
I thought I'd find you here.
**[07:24] ---**
H-Hi.
**[07:31] ---**
Except for management and instruction,
**[07:33] ---**
everything at this academy is
run by the students themselves!
**[07:38] ---**
The chairwoman founded
this school on that principle!
**[07:42] ---**
Disregarding it now and allowing
vampires to enroll is unthinkable!
**[07:48] ---**
I'm going to go straight to
her and put an end to this!
**[07:51] ---**
Straight to her?
**[07:52] ---**
You mean the chairwoman is actually here?!
**[07:55] ---**
They say she's never shown
herself after she founded the school!
**[07:59] ---**
I take it you have a good reason to do so?
**[08:02] ---**
Some sort of incentive for
yourself... Or perhaps it's fear?
**[08:13] ---**
Don't be afraid, people!
**[08:16] ---**
As we speak, all of Japan is
being swayed by these vampires!
**[08:20] ---**
We can't allow them to have their
way with our beloved school too!
**[08:27] ---**
Oh. So you're not?
**[08:30] ---**
Nope. I'm not a vampire.
**[08:33] ---**
Then why are you that princess' servant?
**[08:37] ---**
Oh, it's kinda like, you know, a family rule...
**[08:41] ---**
Huh?! Do you mean like an arranged marriage?
**[08:45] ---**
No! My dad ordered me to be her servant.
**[08:52] ---**
Akira... Has your memory...?
**[08:55] ---**
Yeah.
**[08:57] ---**
Still only bits and pieces, though.
**[08:59] ---**
But I at least remember who I am now.
**[09:08] ---**
I'm...
**[09:12] ---**
Never mind. Anyway, I'm sorry
for worrying you all this time.
**[09:17] ---**
N-No. I'm... glad for you.
**[09:22] ---**
Thanks.
**[09:23] ---**
Well, I better get going.
The princess is calling for me.
**[09:29] ---**
Later, Yuki!
**[09:35] ---**
He's taking too long!
**[09:36] ---**
I'm sure he's still confused.
It's all happened so quickly, after all.
**[09:41] ---**
True. I guess it's to be expected.
**[09:44] ---**
What are you people doing?! Hold on!
**[09:47] ---**
I'm told that the chairwoman is here!
**[09:50] ---**
Princess?
**[09:52] ---**
It's okay. Let them in.
**[09:57] ---**
We're coming in!
**[10:04] ---**
Chairwoman!
**[10:06] ---**
Why have you permitted a
vampire to transfer to this school?!
**[10:09] ---**
I'm sorry. May I ask your name?
**[10:12] ---**
I'm Nanami Shinonome,
the student council president.
**[10:15] ---**
Why?! Did this monster
blackmail you or something?!
**[10:19] ---**
Is that your question?
**[10:24] ---**
Yes, that's right...
**[10:26] ---**
I see. Duly noted.
**[10:30] ---**
So, what do you say, "Chairwoman"?
**[10:36] ---**
Blackmail? Nothing of the sort.
**[10:38] ---**
Attending this academy was the
reason I built it in the first place, you see.
**[10:46] ---**
I am Mina Tepeş, the
chairwoman and founder of this school.
**[10:55] ---**
You can't be serious!
**[10:56] ---**
Enough of your jokes! You're still only a kid!
**[11:00] ---**
Have you forgotten what I am?
**[11:02] ---**
Despite my appearance, I've at
least lived longer than you have.
**[11:05] ---**
Yeah, right! Like anyone--
**[11:07] ---**
Hold on!
**[11:08] ---**
Yes... It would all make sense then.
**[11:12] ---**
I always thought it was strange how the school
**[11:15] ---**
has windows made of polarized
glass and a gym built underground...
**[11:19] ---**
It was all because...
**[11:23] ---**
Smart girl.
**[11:25] ---**
Only recently have I paid a visit here,
**[11:28] ---**
but it has grown into a
wonderful place of learning
**[11:31] ---**
where the students are cheerful
and self-reliance fills the halls.
**[11:35] ---**
I can't thank you enough.
**[11:37] ---**
That's why this will be the
perfect school for our children
**[11:41] ---**
when the vampire bund is finally established.
**[11:45] ---**
You can't be serious!
**[11:47] ---**
We didn't struggle to improve this school
**[11:50] ---**
just so it could be a den
for you people, vampire!
**[11:55] ---**
I hear you wish to be a
lawyer, Nanami Shinonome.
**[12:00] ---**
Even our privacy...?!
**[12:02] ---**
If you serve as class president
without incident, I will provide
**[12:05] ---**
a scholarship and a recommendation
to your university of choice.
**[12:08] ---**
You're horrible!
**[12:11] ---**
I'm sorry. Have you
finished with your questions?
**[12:14] ---**
No.
**[12:15] ---**
Then could you come at another
date? She has a packed schedule...
**[12:20] ---**
You're just going to avoid the issue?!
**[12:24] ---**
Sorry I'm la--
**[12:28] ---**
Goodbye!
**[12:30] ---**
Wait! Akira!
**[12:33] ---**
I take it you really want me out of here?
**[12:35] ---**
Yes.
**[12:37] ---**
In that case, want to make a bet?
**[12:43] ---**
You gave me this, Saegusa?
**[12:47] ---**
Then, does that mean we're...?
**[13:00] ---**
Dead with the Wind
**[13:02] ---**
This is student council
president Nanami Shinonome.
**[13:06] ---**
You've all heard that Mina Tepeş,
the self-claimed ruler of the vampires,
**[13:11] ---**
has transferred to our school.
**[13:13] ---**
We are adamantly opposed to this outrage!
**[13:16] ---**
As such, I decided to use my
authority as student council president
**[13:19] ---**
to boycott all afternoon classes!
**[13:22] ---**
Moreover, after negotiating
with school authorities,
**[13:25] ---**
we've made a breakthrough and
succeeded in winning a concession.
**[13:30] ---**
If we can catch her servant,
second-year student Akira Kaburagi,
**[13:34] ---**
she will cancel her transfer to our school.
**[13:38] ---**
Fellow students! Allowing
vampires into our school is reckless!
**[13:41] ---**
We must not permit it!
**[13:43] ---**
Capture him! Capture Akira Kaburagi!
**[13:46] ---**
Protect our school!
Protect our peaceful academy!
**[13:51] ---**
Also, whoever catches him,
**[13:53] ---**
the student council will give that
person's class or club extra funding!
**[13:58] ---**
Alright!
**[14:01] ---**
Saijo! That makes us no different
from how that vampire operates!
**[14:04] ---**
People need incentive to take action.
**[14:08] ---**
I guess it can't be helped. Let's get started!
**[14:18] ---**
*Yuzuru. Lend me your help...*
**[14:26] ---**
Man. This is like pouring
oil on burning charcoals...
**[14:31] ---**
You can do it, Akira.
**[14:33] ---**
I resent this, Princess!
**[14:37] ---**
Have you come down with a cold?
**[14:39] ---**
No, we don't catch colds.
**[14:42] ---**
That's very fortunate.
**[14:44] ---**
Today's meeting should be a watershed moment
**[14:47] ---**
for passing the Special Zone Establishment Bill.
**[14:50] ---**
I have high hopes!
**[14:55] ---**
Well, it's time to head into battle.
**[15:00] ---**
Akira Kaburagi spotted in Building ♪2!
**[15:03] ---**
Got it! On my way!
**[15:07] ---**
"Wanted"?
**[15:09] ---**
I guess I should probably
get the heck outta here.
**[15:16] ---**
My phone!
**[15:21] ---**
H-Hi!
**[15:24] ---**
Bye!
**[15:26] ---**
I found him!
**[15:33] ---**
Over here! Akira!
**[15:45] ---**
Don't let 'em catch you! For Mina's sake!
**[15:47] ---**
Good luck!
**[15:49] ---**
I owe you one!
**[15:52] ---**
You student council executive
officers really *are* good at your jobs...
**[15:56] ---**
Got you!
**[15:58] ---**
Is this for real?!
**[16:04] ---**
I only want one thing from you.
**[16:07] ---**
I want you to pass the
Special Zone Establishment Bill
**[16:11] ---**
that Mr. Isurugi's faction has submitted.
**[16:14] ---**
That is all.
**[16:18] ---**
If you had the resourcefulness
to make such snap decisions,
**[16:22] ---**
Japan wouldn't be in the big slump it is today.
**[16:25] ---**
Vera. Show them.
**[16:26] ---**
Right.
**[16:28] ---**
First, have a look at this. Then we can talk.
**[16:34] ---**
This is...!
**[16:37] ---**
Outstanding Government Bonds and Debts
**[16:37] ---**
Is this true?!
**[16:40] ---**
It is. What do you think?
**[16:43] ---**
This is insane! Why are they so relentless?!
**[16:48] ---**
It's for my club's funding!
**[16:49] ---**
Damn! It all comes down to money?!
**[16:53] ---**
That's right!
**[16:54] ---**
Outstanding Government Bonds and Debts
**[16:55] ---**
This is no bluff; unless you approve the bund's establishment,
**[16:55] ---**
Tax Revenue from Vampire Corporations
**[16:59] ---**
we will withdraw these corporations.
**[17:01] ---**
I'm gonna find out your
true intent, even if by force!
**[17:04] ---**
Wait! We can't let that happen!
**[17:06] ---**
Of course you can't.
**[17:07] ---**
They have been set up to place
you in a disadvantageous situation.
**[17:10] ---**
Other Corporations' Earnings
Vampire Corporation Earnings
**[17:11] ---**
Your Highness. I'm sorry, but we can't give an answer right away.
**[17:16] ---**
Give us time to look over these
documents and then we'll get back to you.
**[17:19] ---**
Naïve.
**[17:20] ---**
You're all so naïve!
**[17:23] ---**
Sure, you can try to buy
time and avoid the issue,
**[17:25] ---**
but the situation *won't* take a favorable turn.
**[17:28] ---**
In fact, you'll only
drive yourself into a corner
**[17:31] ---**
as you run out of time and escape routes!
**[17:35] ---**
There's no escape now!
**[17:37] ---**
You are the elites who determine the fate of this nation
**[17:37] ---**
Other Corporations' Earnings
Vampire Corporation Earnings
**[17:40] ---**
in accordance with the will of the people!
**[17:43] ---**
Just give up already!
**[17:45] ---**
Will you grant our proposal,
**[17:48] ---**
or will you reject it and make
things even worse for yourselves?!
**[18:15] ---**
He disappeared?!
**[18:16] ---**
Urgh!
**[18:18] ---**
Oh, man...
**[18:27] ---**
Impressive, Akira.
**[18:30] ---**
Y-You saw that?
**[18:34] ---**
So it's true; you really have lost your memory.
**[18:38] ---**
But you really do look
sexy when you're flustered.
**[18:43] ---**
Tell me, as a servant to the princess,
do you serve her at night, too?
**[18:48] ---**
D-Don't be stupid!
**[18:50] ---**
Then what is this?
**[18:57] ---**
I added my address.
Contact me whenever you feel like it.
**[19:06] ---**
Mei Ren
**[19:07] ---**
Mei Ren?
**[19:19] ---**
I'm exhausted...
**[19:21] ---**
You worked hard today, Akira.
**[19:23] ---**
That's for sure. How about you?
**[19:26] ---**
They were a joke.
**[19:27] ---**
The student council members
have far more spine than they do.
**[19:34] ---**
So, how are you feeling?
Has most of your memory returned?
**[19:38] ---**
No, it's still full of holes.
There's so much I don't remember.
**[19:45] ---**
Even your promise seven years ago...?
**[19:52] ---**
Promise? What promise?
**[19:55] ---**
Oh... I-I guess it's to be expected.
**[19:59] ---**
Your memory has only started to come back.
**[20:01] ---**
But I'm sure you'll be able to
remember more clearly in time...
**[20:07] ---**
Yes. You've always been carefree and--
**[20:10] ---**
Just kidding!
**[20:13] ---**
Y-You dare fool me?! Take this!
**[20:16] ---**
Oww! Sorry! I'm sorry!
**[20:25] ---**
I'm glad to have you back, Akira...
**[20:28] ---**
Princess...
**[20:32] ---**
The class president's really working hard.
**[20:36] ---**
Sorry to bother you. Today's been...
**[20:38] ---**
It's okay. I'm sure it was a shock to you too,
**[20:41] ---**
finding out Akira is a vampire's crony...
**[20:45] ---**
Yeah...
**[20:47] ---**
*Even now, there's something I think about.*
**[20:50] ---**
*At the time, I was thinking about Akira so much*
**[20:55] ---**
*that I didn't have time to
worry about anything else.*
**[21:00] ---**
*But if I had left with the
class president instead...*
**[21:05] ---**
*...I wonder how different fate would have been.*
**[21:09] ---**
I managed to make it through the day,
**[21:11] ---**
but things are going to
get a lot tougher at school...
**[21:15] ---**
Never fear. I have a plan.
**[21:20] ---**
Say, Princess.
**[21:22] ---**
Why did you go out of
your way to visit the school
**[21:24] ---**
while there's so much trouble going on?
**[21:28] ---**
What is it you want to do?
**[21:38] ---**
That's... none of your concern.
**[21:42] ---**
No!
**[21:57] ---**

Part 3!
**[23:22] ---**
Stop! Extra funding!
**[23:24] ---**
I can't believe you guys!
**[23:27] ---**
Here goes the flood!
**[23:29] ---**
Then I'll attack with
Strawberry Poison Frog Arrows!
**[23:31] ---**
That's dull!
**[23:33] ---**
Then I'll use poison frog blow darts!
**[23:36] ---**
Why frogs?! Do something flashier!
**[23:39] ---**
Earth Destruction Bomb!
**[23:41] ---**
Are you trying to kill me?!
**[23:43] ---**
*Now* you ask?!
**[23:44] ---**
Seriously!
**[23:45] ---**
Don't give me that!

**[00:24] ---**
It appears the princess has left
the executive building in disguise.
**[00:28] ---**
Her destination is most likely
the residential block on the island
**[00:30] ---**
where the developers live.
**[00:33] ---**
Find her!
**[00:36] ---**
Geez…
**[00:39] ---**
Thank you, Mr. Mail Man!
Please deliver this letter!
**[00:48] ---**
Don’t be late! Please be quick!
**[00:53] ---**
Here’s how many days it will take!
**[00:57] ---**
One! Two!
**[01:00] ---**
Three! Four!
**[01:04] ---**
Five! Six! Seven!
**[01:13] ---**
You’re no good at this!
**[01:15] ---**
I’m unaccustomed to it, that’s all!
**[01:17] ---**
Just you watch! Next time I *will
*cross the ten-jump threshold!
**[01:21] ---**
Only ten?
**[01:24] ---**
Nonsense. “As many as” ten!
**[01:33] ---**
One! Two! Three!
**[01:52] ---**
*Say, do you remember*
**[01:58] ---**
*that song that goes
perfect with the setting sun?*
**[02:03] ---**
*Even though you were always quiet*
**[02:09] ---**
*you always sadly sang it to yourself*
**[02:16] ---**
*but time has passed*
**[02:21] ---**
*and now it's a sepia-colored melody, oh*
**[02:28] ---**
*You'll never return again, oh friends*
**[02:34] ---**
*You seem even more distant than a stranger*
**[02:40] ---**
*You were always running, oh friends*
**[02:46] ---**
*How I love those eyes of yours*
**[03:12] ---**
Ever since her first shocking appearance,
**[03:14] ---**
Princess Mina Tepeş has delivered
one-sided messages in all cases,
**[03:18] ---**
her sworn testimony before
parliament being the only exception.
**[03:22] ---**
However, she recently announced
that a joint press conference
**[03:24] ---**
will be held for worldwide media outlets.
**[03:28] ---**
As you instructed, all evidence
of the attack has been cleared away
**[03:32] ---**
and Nanami Shinonome is
being treated as an absentee.
**[03:35] ---**
Does Akira know of this?
**[03:37] ---**
Contact with the outside has been cut off.
**[03:40] ---**
Good.
**[03:42] ---**
Hey, Princess. Nelly said to bring you this.
**[03:49] ---**
Thank you, Akira.
**[03:52] ---**
You aren’t embarrassed today.
**[03:54] ---**
I’ve come to realize
that you’re just toying with me.
**[03:59] ---**
Yes. The establishment of this special zone
**[04:02] ---**
would be a most intriguing
and unprecedented event!
**[04:06] ---**
What about Princess Mina Tepeş,
the supposed vampire?
**[04:11] ---**
No comment at this time.
**[04:13] ---**
I’m sure all will be made clear
at the upcoming press conference.
**[04:17] ---**
Are you sure about
this press conference thing?
**[04:20] ---**
Oh? You’re concerned for my well-being?
**[04:28] ---**
I can’t stand the smell of that Shade Gel!
**[04:32] ---**
How heartless…
**[04:34] ---**
We are doing our utmost for security.
**[04:37] ---**
Press members coming onto the
island are being checked thoroughly;
**[04:41] ---**
all baggage and personal
effects are being inspected
**[04:43] ---**
and their bodies are being checked
for foreign objects and substances.
**[04:47] ---**
Naturally, we’re also seeing if
they’re human or not.
**[04:54] ---**
Yes?
**[04:56] ---**
Princess.
**[04:58] ---**
So you’re here, you old fox?
**[05:01] ---**
I thought you might show up now.
**[05:12] ---**
It’s been a long time, Juneau.
**[05:15] ---**
Hello, Princess.
**[05:16] ---**
I, Juneau Dermaille,
**[05:18] ---**
am exceedingly pleased to look
upon your beautiful visage again.
**[05:23] ---**
I see you still speak in
such a tongue-twisting manner.
**[05:26] ---**
So, what brings you all this way today?
**[05:29] ---**
Let us speak in privacy.
This discussion is not for your dogs to hear.
**[05:34] ---**
The Earth Clan is the line of knights
**[05:36] ---**
responsible for protecting the
royal family since times of yore.
**[05:39] ---**
Speaking of them in such
a manner is disrespectful!
**[05:42] ---**
Hmph! Would-be guard dogs and
a henchwoman of lowly blood!
**[05:53] ---**
Sir Wolf!
**[05:57] ---**
*My* soldiers shall protect the princess now.
**[06:03] ---**
You dogs are no longer needed.
**[06:05] ---**
Return to the forest from whence
you came and find a new master!
**[06:13] ---**
Who was that old man?!
**[06:15] ---**
Marquis Juneau Dermaille,
**[06:17] ---**
the head of a line of nobles
that serves the Tepeş royal family.
**[06:22] ---**
Forgive me, Sir Wolf.
**[06:24] ---**
Giving in to his provocations
was exactly what he wanted…
**[06:28] ---**
I assume the marquis rushed
here to secure his own interests
**[06:33] ---**
after judging that this bund
is too important to overlook.
**[06:37] ---**
If so, that puts us in
an advantageous position.
**[06:40] ---**
That’s true.
**[06:42] ---**
In which case, we need
only do what we must, Lady Vera.
**[06:56] ---**
That reminds me, have you and
Sir Wolf had a real discussion yet?
**[07:00] ---**
Nope. I’m told he’s my dad,
but it doesn’t ring a bell at all.
**[07:10] ---**
It’s surprising, though.
**[07:12] ---**
Come again?
**[07:13] ---**
Vampire society is
pretty complicated too.
**[07:17] ---**
The royal family’s authority is absolute.
**[07:19] ---**
As such, there are battles
for power that are as cruel as--
**[07:22] ---**
no, even crueler than
those in human society.
**[07:27] ---**
The princess ardently wishes to build here.
**[07:30] ---**
I will not allow *anyone
*to take advantage of that
**[07:33] ---**
or to prevent it from happening.
**[07:36] ---**
For that, I will do
anything it takes. Anything.
**[07:41] ---**
Can I ask you something?
**[07:44] ---**
Why are you that devoted?
**[07:46] ---**
Because the princess
is everything to me.
**[07:49] ---**
Now let me ask *you*, Akira.
**[07:52] ---**
Do you think you’re a servant worthy
of the princess’ expectations?
**[08:00] ---**
I made a promise to her, so…
**[08:03] ---**
I don’t know if I’m worthy or not.
**[08:06] ---**
But… I intend to do
everything I can now.
**[08:19] ---**
They belong to Marquis Dermaille.
**[08:22] ---**
They’re already arriving, huh?
**[08:28] ---**
Wow. They’re coming out in droves…
**[08:32] ---**
This is still just the beginning.
**[08:44] ---**
There’s that many?
**[08:52] ---**
It was a vampire who attacked
the princess the other day, correct?
**[08:58] ---**
Yeah…
**[09:02] ---**
Normally, that would be
absolutely impermissible.
**[09:07] ---**
Because the princess’ authority is absolute?
**[09:10] ---**
It goes further back than that.
**[09:16] ---**
The royal family of darkness,
living here, at the far reaches of Asia…
**[09:22] ---**
It is unthinkable! Sniveling dogs!
**[09:28] ---**
My lord!
**[09:30] ---**
What?!
**[09:36] ---**
C4?! A bomb?!
**[09:40] ---**
What do you mean, further back?
**[09:42] ---**
For us, the princess’ death
would spell the death of the race.
**[09:54] ---**
It looks like the wind is picking up.
**[10:11] ---**
We’re at the Central Management
Center in Tokyo Landfill ♪0.
**[10:15] ---**
An unprecedented and historic
press conference is being held here today.
**[10:21] ---**
Just what will the young girl--
**[10:23] ---**
the owner of this island and
ruler of the vampires--tell us?!
**[10:35] ---**
I thank you for accepting
my invitation to come today.
**[10:39] ---**
I pledge to answer everything
to my fullest capacity.
**[10:43] ---**
Ask to your hearts’ content.
**[10:46] ---**
It’s begun.
**[10:48] ---**
This blunder of theirs is a disgrace!
**[10:50] ---**
Let’s go, Vera.
We need to clean up their mess.
**[10:56] ---**
It has been discovered that
one of the men I brought is missing.
**[11:03] ---**
Then you believe he stole the bomb?
**[11:06] ---**
Yes.
**[11:07] ---**
However, he was a rookie
recruited only shortly before our departure.
**[11:12] ---**
I am unfamiliar with his background.
**[11:15] ---**
So you don’t know who he is?
**[11:18] ---**
That is correct.
**[11:20] ---**
This announcement took me
completely by surprise.
**[11:24] ---**
If you had given me advance notice,
**[11:26] ---**
I would have had time to conduct
a more thorough screening.
**[11:31] ---**
A bomb has gone missing!
You can’t just gloss this over with words!
**[11:34] ---**
Be silent, wench!
**[11:36] ---**
Even you understand that even
though his background is unknown,
**[11:39] ---**
we do know it was a vampire who stole it!
**[11:42] ---**
Are you suggesting that
there is not even one vampire
**[11:45] ---**
who would want to harm the princess?!
**[11:49] ---**
At least the perpetrator
is a vampire we know!
**[11:54] ---**
You could even say that
fact makes it easier to protect her!
**[11:58] ---**
What nonsensical logic!
**[11:59] ---**
Enough.
**[12:02] ---**
The press conference will go as planned.
**[12:05] ---**
Dermaille, you will remain in charge of security.
**[12:08] ---**
As you wish.
**[12:09] ---**
Princess…
**[12:15] ---**
Damn, he’s got some guts.
**[12:20] ---**
So, what’s going on with the bomb?
**[12:22] ---**
We’re searching, but still no luck.
**[12:25] ---**
Most of the people aren’t on the island yet,
**[12:28] ---**
and there are plenty of places to hide…
**[12:31] ---**
But there’s no point in staying hidden.
**[12:35] ---**
Given the timing of the theft,
he definitely intends to use it.
**[12:40] ---**
Where could the bomb be?
**[12:51] ---**
*It couldn’t be…*
**[12:52] ---**
As representative for all companies
involved, this is my first question.
**[12:57] ---**
First, in concern to
establishing a special zone,
**[12:59] ---**
how did you get the Japanese government--
**[13:04] ---**
Uhh…?
**[13:06] ---**
My apologies. I had imagined the
first question would be something else.
**[13:11] ---**
Something more like,
“Are you really a vampire?”
**[13:16] ---**
I guess people half-believe
**[13:18] ---**
after what happened on
that Scales of Astraea show.
**[13:22] ---**
Actually, if I had to guess,
I’d say there are more non-believers here.
**[13:28] ---**
But I guess that’s to be expected.
**[13:31] ---**
I take it what you people want to know
**[13:34] ---**
is how a little girl from a foreign
land plans to negotiate with Japan
**[13:39] ---**
to obtain this bund?
**[13:45] ---**
Yes, that’s the biggest question of all!
**[13:47] ---**
What scheme has she pulled?!
**[13:50] ---**
Bund?
**[13:50] ---**
a coastal area of Shanghai.
**[13:54] ---**
The answer to that is obvious.
**[13:56] ---**
Money.
**[13:59] ---**
The previous administrations’
failed economic policies
**[14:01] ---**
have raised the budget deficit
to one quadrillion yen.
**[14:04] ---**
We are prepared to assume that full amount
**[14:07] ---**
as soon as the special zone is approved.
**[14:09] ---**
For the past several years,
Japan’s economy has been on the rise.
**[14:14] ---**
Were you aware that we transferred
many corporations under our control
**[14:19] ---**
into this country prior to this upswing,
**[14:21] ---**
or that we were responsible for
many large-scale public works projects,
**[14:25] ---**
including Reclamation Zone ♪0?
**[14:28] ---**
It was all to pave the way.
**[14:30] ---**
We needed to make sure our
neighboring nation grew stronger, you see.
**[14:37] ---**
Thus, if by some chance
the special zone is not approved,
**[14:40] ---**
I will withdraw all of these
corporations from your country.
**[14:43] ---**
That’s blackmail!
**[14:45] ---**
What reason is there to give
to someone who won’t give back?
**[14:49] ---**
We did not come to
this land simply out of charity.
**[14:53] ---**
Allow me to describe
again the requirements we ask
**[14:56] ---**
of the Japanese government
and its dear citizens.
**[15:00] ---**
I currently have ownership
of Reclamation Zone ♪0,
**[15:03] ---**
as well as land and building rights,
**[15:06] ---**
but we wish for this land
to be officially recognized
**[15:09] ---**
as leased territory belonging to us.
**[15:11] ---**
Of course, there is no term limit
to that lease, and we will of course
**[15:14] ---**
have the right to self-government
and a police authority.
**[15:18] ---**
Yes. It will be a settlement.
**[15:21] ---**
Like Hong Kong and Shanghai once were.
**[15:23] ---**
Land that exists in a
country but is a separate nation.
**[15:26] ---**
An ephemeral city born from a
chaotic mixture of different cultures.
**[15:30] ---**
*That* is my wish. A kingdom of
vampires, by vampires, for vampires!
**[15:37] ---**
A vampire bund!
**[15:42] ---**
What do you want at a time like this?!
**[15:44] ---**
Old man!
**[15:45] ---**
Old m--? Who is this?!
**[15:47] ---**
Just listen! Did you check
the members of the press?!
**[15:51] ---**
Of course we did!
**[15:53] ---**
We scrutinized not only their bodies,
but all of their equipment as well!
**[15:57] ---**
What about if they were human?!
**[15:59] ---**
Did you make sure there weren’t
vampires among them?!
**[16:03] ---**
Of course not!
Why would that be necessary?!
**[16:09] ---**
Akira! What’s going on?!
**[16:11] ---**
I smelled it! One of the
reporters is wearing Shade Gel!
**[16:17] ---**
But everyone we inspected coming
onto the island was human!
**[16:20] ---**
They changed!
**[16:21] ---**
You don’t mean…!
**[16:22] ---**
That’s right!
**[16:24] ---**
One of the members of the press
was human when they came to the island
**[16:28] ---**
and became a vampire afterward!
**[16:30] ---**
But why?!
**[16:31] ---**
There’s a way that vampires--
**[16:33] ---**
no, a way that *only
*vampires can hide a bomb!
**[16:41] ---**
Lady Vera.
**[16:42] ---**
A large amount of blood was
just found in a press lodging facility,
**[16:46] ---**
along with some internal organs
that appear to have been removed.
**[16:51] ---**
Who is it?!
**[16:52] ---**
CNN newscaster Nicole Edelman.
**[16:55] ---**
So how exactly are you able to pay off
**[16:57] ---**
this astronomical number
of one quadrillion yen?!
**[17:02] ---**
We have been amassing an unparalleled fortune
**[17:05] ---**
since the times in which your ancestors
were working with stone tools.
**[17:10] ---**
Splurging on something like
this is nothing at all.
**[17:15] ---**
So you’re back to that subject, huh?
**[17:17] ---**
This is all based on the
premise that you’re a vampire!
**[17:23] ---**
So the discussion has
finally reached this point…
**[17:25] ---**
But now I’m at a loss. I have no
way to prove that I am a vampire.
**[17:31] ---**
You don’t honestly expect me
to expose myself to sunlight right here
**[17:34] ---**
or drive a stake into my heart, do you?
**[17:38] ---**
Or shall I suck the blood
of someone here for all to see?
**[17:45] ---**
You want me to suck your blood?
**[17:50] ---**
Assuming you really
are the ruler of the vampires.
**[17:54] ---**
You make me laugh!
**[17:57] ---**
There’s no need for me to suck *your* blood.
**[18:17] ---**
Vera!
**[18:21] ---**
Rip her open!
**[18:23] ---**
There’s… no time!
**[18:39] ---**
It’s already been activated!
**[18:41] ---**
Akira! Disarm it!
**[18:42] ---**
Huh?!
**[18:43] ---**
Young Beowulf soldiers are
taught how to dispose of bombs!
**[18:48] ---**
I don’t remember any of that!
**[18:50] ---**
What?!
**[18:53] ---**
P-Princess! You must seek shelter!
**[18:56] ---**
Remain calm, fools!
**[19:00] ---**
Wolf. Do you hear me?
**[19:02] ---**
Yes.
**[19:03] ---**
Use it.
**[19:04] ---**
As you wish. Akira! Elevator ♪3!
**[19:08] ---**
The elevator car has been stopped!
Throw the bomb down the shaft!
**[19:13] ---**
It’ll be fine down there! Do it!
**[19:19] ---**
Open the doors!
**[19:37] ---**
It… exploded, right?
**[19:39] ---**
Vera. What’s down there?
**[19:42] ---**
You’ll find out sooner or later.
**[19:46] ---**
Is that enough proof for
you that vampires exist, reporters?
**[19:52] ---**
What you have seen, what you have heard…
**[19:55] ---**
spread it throughout the world!
**[19:58] ---**
This is our world. We live in darkness,
and blood and death rule all.
**[20:03] ---**
But worry not.
**[20:06] ---**
As long as you are good neighbors,
we will never be a threat to you.
**[20:13] ---**
As long as you remain good neighbors.
**[20:17] ---**
That is all I have to say.
Return to your world.
**[20:25] ---**
Prime Minister!
**[20:25] ---**
The bipartisan coalition has just submitted
**[20:28] ---**
the Special Zone Establishment Bill!
**[20:33] ---**
Are you sure about that old Dermaille guy?
**[20:37] ---**
Shouldn’t you have fired him or demoted him?
**[20:40] ---**
He’s a small fry.
**[20:42] ---**
He hasn’t the mettle to kill me
and end the history of vampires.
**[20:46] ---**
That, you can believe.
**[20:48] ---**
But this means Juneau
can no longer disparage you.
**[20:52] ---**
Keep up the good work.
**[20:54] ---**
Wait, you purposely--?!
**[20:57] ---**
I was so happy that you fought for me
**[21:01] ---**
without regard for your own well-being.
**[21:04] ---**
That is the Akira Kaburagi
I know so well!
**[21:10] ---**
So Dermaille wasn’t the
only one being tested, huh?
**[21:14] ---**
You’re still trying to figure me
out, too. So we’re even.
**[21:24] ---**
I understand you less and less as time goes on.
**[21:30] ---**
On one hand, you’ll blackmail an entire nation,
**[21:34] ---**
while on the other hand you’ll
pout because you can’t jump rope.
**[21:38] ---**
You… saw?!
**[21:39] ---**
Even the whole “as many as ten times” thing.
**[21:42] ---**
I-I only played that game because
those children insisted upon it!
**[21:49] ---**
But you looked nice, Princess.
**[21:54] ---**
Seeing you playing with human
children… it was almost like…
**[21:58] ---**
They aren’t human.
**[22:02] ---**
They’re “Fangless.” People
who have removed their fangs
**[22:06] ---**
and rejected the act
of sucking others’ blood.
**[22:10] ---**
There are many of them among
those working hard to establish the bund.
**[22:16] ---**
They’ve become vampires,
but don’t want to lose their humanity.
**[22:21] ---**
Because of how they live,
they’ve been persecuted
**[22:24] ---**
by humans and vampires alike
and forced to wander aimlessly.
**[22:29] ---**
But once the bund is established,
**[22:31] ---**
their peace of mind
will never be hindered again.
**[22:36] ---**
Is *that* why you’re building the bund?
**[22:39] ---**
If only it were…
**[22:43] ---**
*On this day, vampires
became known to the world.*
**[22:47] ---**
*Some had shrugged it all off as an
incident in a far-off corner of the Orient.*
**[22:51] ---**
*Others scoffed, claiming it was
fiction created by a variety TV show.*
**[22:58] ---**
*But they were now forced to
believe in the existence of vampires.*
**[23:02] ---**
*Little did I--or Akira--know then*
**[23:05] ---**
*that the ripples caused by that quiet shock*
**[23:09] ---**
*had silently and steadily closed in on us…*
**[23:27] ---**
*As I doze in the darkness, black shadows*
**[23:32] ---**
*dig their nails into soft skin*
**[23:38] ---**
*Drunk from pleasure, the ignorant ones rush*
**[23:49] ---**
*Sweet, unrestrained impulses*
**[23:55] ---**
*The pointlessness only incites them even more*
**[24:00] ---**
*Now dress up with the cloth that
swallows all the light of the night*
**[24:05] ---**
*and dance*
**[24:12] ---**
*Clumsy nails touch a heart about to break*
**[24:17] ---**
*and creep to the top of the throat*
**[24:23] ---**
*A world that needs protecting
and a purity I want to protect...*
**[24:29] ---**
*I'll bear the momentary pain*
**[24:34] ---**
*and then fall fettered again*
**[24:47] ---**
Advice
**[24:48] ---**
Dance with the Vampire Maids!
**[24:50] ---**
Part 4!
**[24:51] ---**
What’s troubling you?
**[24:52] ---**
Well, I guess I have amnesia;
I don’t even recognize my dad.
**[24:57] ---**
Mm-hmm.
**[24:57] ---**
I’m not sure I can go on like this.
**[24:59] ---**
Everyone else has such strong personalities.
**[25:01] ---**
It’s okay!
**[25:02] ---**
You’re a “catcher”!
You definitely have catcher qualities!
**[25:05] ---**
Your amnesia’s just part
of your character anyway!
**[25:07] ---**
Actually, it’s a plus!
You should drag it out as long as you can!
**[25:09] ---**
Take care! Next patient!
**[25:11] ---**
Our coworker won’t work seriously…
**[25:13] ---**
What do we do?
**[25:14] ---**
Oh, that’s a real problem!
**[25:16] ---**
Continued in Episode 5

*One day, a boy asked the
great ruler of the monsters...*
**[00:25] ---**
*"You always scowl at the
world with such a sad look.*
**[00:29] ---**
*Are you always going to be that way?"*
**[00:33] ---**
*The ruler replied,*
**[00:36] ---**
*"If you promise to grant
my wish, I will stop being sad.*
**[00:46] ---**
*But, if you break your
promise, I may devour you."*
**[00:59] ---**
Just a dream?
**[01:07] ---**
What's the matter?
**[01:08] ---**
Don't give me that!
Why are you in my bed again?!
**[01:15] ---**
What is that?
**[01:18] ---**
It... represents a promise.
**[01:21] ---**
A promise?
**[01:22] ---**
Yeah...
**[01:27] ---**
Oh, yeah. Princess. Was someone here just--
**[01:31] ---**
Sheesh.
**[01:50] ---**
*nee kimi wa oboeteiru*
**[01:56] ---**
*yuubae ni yoku niau ano kyoku*
**[02:01] ---**
*damarikomu kimi ga itsumo*
**[02:07] ---**
*kanashikute kuchizusanda no ni*
**[02:14] ---**

**[02:44] ---**
*ano hitomi ga itoshii*
**[03:06] ---**
On the left-hand side,
**[03:09] ---**
we have a finite number of primes
as a result of "reductio ad absurdum."
**[03:12] ---**
At the same time, because the
right-hand side is a harmonic series,
**[03:15] ---**
it diverges into positive infinity.
**[03:17] ---**
This is a contradiction.
**[03:19] ---**
This demonstrates the postulation
that primes are finite is incongruous,
**[03:25] ---**
therefore indicating that the
opposite of the postulation is true:
**[03:28] ---**
that there exist an infinite number of primes.
**[03:33] ---**
Quod erat demonstrandum.
My proof is complete.
**[03:37] ---**
That was flawless, Princess...
**[03:40] ---**
"Mina" will do. I am a mere
student while in the classroom.
**[03:53] ---**
I-I'm sorr--!
**[03:56] ---**
Sorry.
**[03:59] ---**
Th-That's okay...
**[04:13] ---**
They treat you like some rare animal.
**[04:15] ---**
I'd say I'm more of a vicious beast.
**[04:18] ---**
You say so yourself?
**[04:20] ---**
I am the ruler of the vampires.
**[04:22] ---**
My ability would be in doubt if
I did not elicit at least *some* awe.
**[04:28] ---**
Regardless of how adorable
I appear on the outside.
**[04:32] ---**
You say so yourself?
**[04:34] ---**
The guys are playing soccer next!
**[04:37] ---**
Go ahead. Run around to your heart's content.
**[04:41] ---**
I will be fine on my own.
**[04:43] ---**
But...
**[04:44] ---**
Oh? Are you worried about me?
**[04:46] ---**
I'm worried about those around you.
**[04:48] ---**
Silence. Right now, I am here as a student.
**[04:52] ---**
As such, I will successfully make it
through the day as a regular student!
**[04:58] ---**
Today you will be making simmered
meat and potatoes with fried eggs.
**[05:07] ---**
But, are you familiar with cooking, Princess?
**[05:11] ---**
Call me Mina!
**[05:12] ---**
And don't worry about me.
I know a thing or two about cooking!
**[05:17] ---**
Do you know what this is?
**[05:19] ---**
A razor.
**[05:20] ---**
How about this?
**[05:21] ---**
A tea whisk. A rather inelegant one, too.
**[05:26] ---**
Umm, does anyone want to be Mina's partner?
**[05:35] ---**
I'll be Mina's partner.
**[05:50] ---**
Sorry to inconvenience you.
**[05:52] ---**
No, I wanted to try talking
with you anyway, Princess.
**[05:56] ---**
Just call me "Mina."
**[06:00] ---**
So, where do we begin?
**[06:02] ---**
Hmm, could you crack an egg for me?
**[06:06] ---**
Egg, egg...
**[06:09] ---**
Okay!
**[06:15] ---**
Princess...
**[06:17] ---**
Th-They shatter that easily?! What feeble eggs!
**[06:22] ---**
Especially for shells meant
to protect newborn lives!
**[06:26] ---**
You've never cooked before, have you?
**[06:29] ---**
Nonsense! There is nothing I cannot do!
**[06:31] ---**
It's your first time, isn't it?
**[06:35] ---**
Yeah.
**[06:38] ---**
That's not fair...
**[06:41] ---**
Okay, the trick to cracking an egg
**[06:43] ---**
is to hit it on a flat
surface rather than a corner!
**[06:49] ---**
Oh! Well done!
**[06:52] ---**
Did you know that fried egg is
Akira's--Kaburagi's favorite food?
**[06:58] ---**
What?! Then I must work very hard on it!
**[07:01] ---**
But how do *you* know that?
**[07:04] ---**
Because... w-we're classmates.
**[07:08] ---**
Oh. Then let us begin.
**[07:13] ---**
Here I go!
**[07:17] ---**
*This was my very first
conversation with Princess Mina.*
**[07:21] ---**
*She was a mysterious girl, full
of arrogance and overconfidence,*
**[07:27] ---**
*but sometimes she revealed a
very lovely and ephemeral side too.*
**[07:31] ---**
*But, at the time, I still
hadn't realized her true terror*
**[07:38] ---**
*or her true sorrow...*
**[07:52] ---**
Chairwoman's Office
**[07:54] ---**
Go on!
**[07:55] ---**
Eat up!
**[08:13] ---**
It's good!
**[08:14] ---**
Really?!
**[08:15] ---**
Did you really make this, Princess?!
**[08:17] ---**
Of course I did!
**[08:18] ---**
Try the meat and potatoes! It's my masterpiece!
**[08:22] ---**
Don't mind if I do! All that
running around has made me hungry!
**[08:32] ---**
It's me.
**[08:34] ---**
What? The TV?
**[08:37] ---**
Opposed!!
**[08:37] ---**
P.M. Mizoguchi ready for showdown
**[08:37] ---**
In a speech just now,
**[08:40] ---**
Prime Minister Mizoguchi asserted his adamant opposition
**[08:43] ---**
to the bipartisan coalition's Special Zone Establishment Bill.
**[08:46] ---**
He also said he is prepared to dissolve the assembly if need be.
**[08:50] ---**
In response, the bipartisan
coalition's representative, Mr. Isurugi--
**[08:56] ---**
Understood. I'm on my way.
**[08:58] ---**
Oh, yes. Call Alphonse too,
just to be on the safe side.
**[09:01] ---**
Understood, Vera?
**[09:04] ---**
I'll be leaving early today.
I must attend to pressing business.
**[09:08] ---**
Okay. I'll make preparations at once.
**[09:10] ---**
No, I'll be going alone.
You will remain here and attend class.
**[09:15] ---**
This is politics. You'll be of no use.
**[09:18] ---**
But...
**[09:20] ---**
Do you want to see?
**[09:28] ---**
Not here...
**[09:30] ---**
What isn't?
**[09:31] ---**
Akira asked me to find a ring he lost.
**[09:36] ---**
A ring?! Are you serious?
**[09:38] ---**
Don't tell me he was planning
to give it to the princess
**[09:41] ---**
or anything like *that*, was he?!
**[09:45] ---**
Nella.
**[09:46] ---**
Yes?
**[09:47] ---**
Lord Alphonse wishes to see you.
**[09:52] ---**
Really?
**[09:53] ---**
Yeah. I've been watching all day.
**[09:56] ---**
Akira's been stuck to that vampire like glue.
**[09:59] ---**
I've seriously lost all trust in him.
**[10:01] ---**
Then we students will just
have to protect ourselves,
**[10:07] ---**
to prevent a repeat of
what happened to Shinonome.
**[10:09] ---**
Wait! That's only a rumor!
**[10:12] ---**
I understand how you feel, Kuze.
**[10:15] ---**
But can you still say that after seeing these?
**[10:21] ---**
The student council received them
this morning from an anonymous source.
**[10:26] ---**
Okay. I haven't much time.
Finish your business with me at once.
**[10:32] ---**
Business?
**[10:34] ---**
You have something to tell me, don't you?
**[10:37] ---**
Can I ask you something?
**[10:38] ---**
What is it?
**[10:39] ---**
About Nanami Shinonome,
the student council president...
**[10:43] ---**
They say she's skipping school,
but is that really the case?
**[10:47] ---**
What are you trying to say?
**[10:49] ---**
It's only a rumor, but people are saying
**[10:51] ---**
that she actually went missing
after vampires attacked her...
**[10:56] ---**
Oh? And you suspect me of being behind it?
**[11:02] ---**
Yes.
**[11:04] ---**
You're a lot braver than you look!
**[11:10] ---**
That ring...
**[11:12] ---**
What about it?
**[11:14] ---**
That's the ring I gave Akira...
**[11:17] ---**
Why do you--?
**[11:18] ---**
Akira gave it to me, as a sign of loyalty.
**[11:21] ---**
You're lying! He wouldn't do that!
**[11:23] ---**
How can you be so sure?!
**[11:24] ---**
I... I gave it to Akira last year as a present!
**[11:29] ---**
It... represents a promise.
**[11:31] ---**
I see. So it was...
**[11:36] ---**
So it was you?
**[11:38] ---**
Akira would never just give
away something someone gave him!
**[11:44] ---**
So why do *you* have--
**[11:45] ---**
Be quiet, girl!
**[11:47] ---**
You seem to know Akira
well, so I'll tell you this...
**[11:52] ---**
Akira is mine!
**[11:54] ---**
Akira was born and raised to serve me!
**[11:58] ---**
Every drop of blood, every muscle,
every bone in his body is mine!
**[12:04] ---**
Now begone with you! I am busy!
**[12:13] ---**
She's as impossible to figure out as ever...
**[12:16] ---**
Stop...!
**[12:17] ---**
No violence!
**[12:18] ---**
Shut the hell up!
**[12:28] ---**
Kaburagi!
**[12:30] ---**
What are you guys doing?!
**[12:32] ---**
An executive officer!
**[12:36] ---**
You okay? What was that about--?!
**[12:38] ---**
Stay away!
**[12:41] ---**
W-We'll get beat up again if
people see us talking to you!
**[12:45] ---**
You idiot! Don't defy Kaburagi!
**[12:47] ---**
Yeah! Or else *they'll* get us next time!
**[12:50] ---**
Just like they did with the class president!
**[12:51] ---**
What?! What do you mean,
"Just like they did with the class president"?
**[12:56] ---**
You mean you don't know?
**[12:59] ---**
Look!
**[13:04] ---**
The class president?!
**[13:06] ---**
She's been absent all
this time. Or so we thought.
**[13:10] ---**
But *that's* what really happened.
**[13:12] ---**
Look closely. It's in the student council room.
**[13:15] ---**
It's been destroyed pretty badly too,
**[13:17] ---**
but it was fixed the next day,
like nothing had happened.
**[13:20] ---**
Who could possibly do that?
**[13:22] ---**
Who's able to control vampires as they see fit?!
**[13:25] ---**
Despite this, are you still on
the vampires' side, Akira Kaburagi?!
**[13:35] ---**
Does something worry you?
**[13:37] ---**
No.
**[13:39] ---**
Do you think Mizoguchi will
really dissolve the assembly?
**[13:43] ---**
Most likely.
**[13:44] ---**
As things are now, it is
clear that the bill will be passed
**[13:48] ---**
by the legislators we have won over.
**[13:51] ---**
And if he goes through with it
and causes a new general election?
**[13:54] ---**
Securing the same number of
seats again will be quite difficult.
**[13:59] ---**
So what do we have?
**[14:00] ---**
This is the prime minister's
five year old grandson.
**[14:03] ---**
Despite how the prime minister seems,
**[14:05] ---**
at home he's a kind grandfather
who dotes over his grandson.
**[14:08] ---**
Alphonse. We may need your
services sooner than expected.
**[14:13] ---**
Of course. Just give the word.
**[14:16] ---**
The school and those behind Mizoguchi...
**[14:20] ---**
These will be what determine success or failure.
**[14:32] ---**
Don't you feel pissed,
being used by those idiots?
**[14:38] ---**
So let *me* help you...!
**[14:43] ---**
That city almost seems like an illusion.
**[14:46] ---**
But it's a reality. One not even
I or the humans can escape from.
**[14:51] ---**
What does that mean? That makes
it sound like you're different from us.
**[15:00] ---**
Was the food good?
**[15:01] ---**
Yeah. It tasted way better than it looked!
**[15:05] ---**
That's good. The princess
worked really hard on it...
**[15:10] ---**
Thanks, Yuki.
**[15:13] ---**
You seasoned it, didn't you?
**[15:15] ---**
It tasted like your cooking,
**[15:18] ---**
plus vampires don't have a
sense of taste like people do.
**[15:22] ---**
There's no way she can possibly cook.
**[15:27] ---**
But knowing her, she probably
refused to say she couldn't do it
**[15:32] ---**
and probably didn't even thank you.
**[15:36] ---**
You must know her really well...
**[15:42] ---**
No...
**[15:54] ---**
These guys...!
**[16:03] ---**
Vampires!
**[16:10] ---**
Those are our uniforms!
**[16:17] ---**
So you absolutely refuse to agree?
**[16:19] ---**
That's right.
**[16:21] ---**
I know trying to talk sense
into you might be pointless,
**[16:25] ---**
but leased territory in
Japan, in this day and age?
**[16:28] ---**
Belonging to vampires, of all things?
**[16:30] ---**
How can you expect me to agree to that?
**[16:33] ---**
We *have* prepared more than
enough collateral for this country...
**[16:38] ---**
Despite that--no, *because* of that very fact--
**[16:42] ---**
I am obligated to dissolve
the assembly to determine
**[16:45] ---**
if the public wants this or not
and if it will be beneficial or not.
**[16:49] ---**
Ask the public, huh.
**[16:51] ---**
That *sounds* good, but is the act
**[16:53] ---**
of an inept policymaker who
refuses to make real decisions.
**[16:56] ---**
Oh?
**[16:57] ---**
If we back out now, Japan
will be plunged into a depression
**[17:00] ---**
the likes of which it has never seen before.
**[17:04] ---**
You will *never* be able to recover from it.
**[17:06] ---**
So? If that's what the people choose, so be it.
**[17:14] ---**
Come to think of it,
isn't your term up in a year?
**[17:18] ---**
Yes.
**[17:19] ---**
So what happens afterward
is no concern to you?
**[17:23] ---**
I see.
**[17:24] ---**
Standing up to these "monstrous" vampires
**[17:27] ---**
and protecting the sanctity
of the Japanese people
**[17:31] ---**
will ensure your name is
celebrated even long after you're dead.
**[17:35] ---**
You are a very imaginative girl.
**[17:39] ---**
Hypothetically speaking--and
hypothetically only--
**[17:42] ---**
that could indeed make the
Mizoguchi family an important fixture
**[17:46] ---**
in this country's government
for generations to come.
**[17:55] ---**
Scum.
**[17:57] ---**
What was that?
**[17:58] ---**
Prime Minister. We *are* the
monsters you make us out to be.
**[18:02] ---**
We *could* use power and fear to have our way.
**[18:06] ---**
But I'm talking with you instead.
Why do you think that is?
**[18:12] ---**
It's because we're following the
rules of this country--of human society.
**[18:17] ---**
We have gone out of our way
to show respect for you humans.
**[18:21] ---**
If you'd rather make light of us,
**[18:23] ---**
we can always go back
to doing things by our rules.
**[18:28] ---**
A-Are you threatening this country?!
**[18:32] ---**
I am talking with *you* at the moment.
**[18:35] ---**
What does that mean?!
**[18:36] ---**
How dare you act so
rudely to Katsuichi Mizoguchi!
**[18:40] ---**
You're the rude one.
**[18:42] ---**
Don't push your luck, you damn girl!
**[18:44] ---**
I guess that's that.
**[18:49] ---**
Do it.
**[18:50] ---**
As you wish.
**[18:52] ---**
Nella.
**[19:02] ---**
Our conversation is finished.
**[19:04] ---**
I am truly regretful it had to end
this way, Prime Minister Mizoguchi.
**[19:31] ---**
Akira!
**[19:42] ---**
It really worked!
**[19:44] ---**
Whadya think, Fido? Is silver powder tasty?!
**[19:47] ---**
You're an eyesore. It's time for
you to quit clinging to the princess!
**[19:58] ---**
Die!
**[20:17] ---**
You!
**[20:22] ---**
Leave this to me!
**[20:28] ---**
Akira!
**[20:29] ---**
Just get out of here!
You'll only get in the way!
**[20:44] ---**
They were wearing our uniforms!
**[20:47] ---**
Damn! How could vampires
sneak their way into our school?!
**[20:51] ---**
I have to tell the princess right away!
**[20:54] ---**
Even at a time like this, you
think more about Mina than yourself...
**[21:04] ---**
Do you remember the day
I suddenly collapsed in the schoolyard?
**[21:08] ---**
She came all by herself to try to find me,
**[21:12] ---**
after I lost my memory and became useless.
**[21:16] ---**
Just for some measly
promise I made when I was little,
**[21:20] ---**
even though her own life was in danger.
**[21:23] ---**
So, I...
**[21:25] ---**
She wasn't alone...
**[21:29] ---**
I saw you and Mina running away that day...
**[21:34] ---**
And all those guards who
were secretly following you two,
**[21:39] ---**
protecting you from the shadows...
**[21:43] ---**
Are you serious?!
**[22:05] ---**
Princess...
**[22:06] ---**
I'm sorry, but let me be
by myself for a while longer.
**[22:26] ---**
Akira...
**[22:36] ---**
Mina Tepeş
**[22:36] ---**
Akira. What are you up to?
**[22:38] ---**
Oh, nothing. What about you?
**[22:41] ---**
Nothing really. I just...
wanted to hear your voice, that's all.
**[22:47] ---**
Tell me, Princess. I can trust you, right?
**[23:05] ---**
Yes.
**[23:15] ---**
Trust me.

Part 5!
**[24:50] ---**
The princess gave us her
homemade meat and potatoes meal!
**[24:53] ---**
We'll do rock-paper-scissors to see who gets it!
**[24:55] ---**
What about Nella?
**[24:56] ---**
Her loss!
**[24:57] ---**
Ready, set, go!
**[24:59] ---**
I win!
**[25:00] ---**
You went afterward!
**[25:01] ---**
I can't help that I'm slow!
**[25:02] ---**
What are you doing?
**[25:04] ---**
The princess' meat and potatoes!
**[25:05] ---**
What were *you* doing?
**[25:07] ---**
Kidnapping a child.
**[25:10] ---**
From the princess!
**[25:12] ---**
I'm so happy!

Continued in Episode 6
**[25:13] ---**
Is it good?
**[25:14] ---**
It has no flavor.
**[25:15] ---**
Well, we *are* vampires...

Akira. What are you up to?
**[00:19] ---**
Oh, nothing. What about you?
**[00:21] ---**
Nothing really. I just… wanted
to hear your voice, that’s all.
**[00:28] ---**
Tell me, Princess. I can trust
you, right?
**[00:35] ---**
Yes.
**[00:39] ---**
Trust me.
**[00:42] ---**
I'm gonna go.
**[00:44] ---**
Okay...
**[00:53] ---**
*When I was little, I thought
falling in love was a happy thing.*
**[00:58] ---**
*I believed happiness was all there was.*
**[01:04] ---**
*But that punctuated the
end of my innocent childhood.*
**[01:08] ---**
*Akira and I now remained lost in the twilight,*
**[01:15] ---**
*believing that morning would eventually come...*
**[01:20] ---**
What?! At the prime minister's home?!
**[01:22] ---**
Are you sure?!
**[01:24] ---**
Princess.
**[01:27] ---**
It's time to leave.
**[01:43] ---**
*Say, do you remember*
**[01:49] ---**
*that song that goes
perfect with the setting sun?*
**[01:55] ---**
*Even though you were always quiet*
**[02:01] ---**
*you always sadly sang it to yourself*
**[02:07] ---**
*but time has passed*
**[02:12] ---**
*and now it's a sepia-colored melody, oh*
**[02:20] ---**
*You'll never return again, oh friends*
**[02:25] ---**
*You seem even more distant than a stranger*
**[02:31] ---**
*You were always running, oh friends*
**[02:37] ---**
*How I love those eyes of yours*
**[03:03] ---**
Wimp.
**[03:06] ---**
Mei Ren...
**[03:09] ---**
I came.
**[03:12] ---**
How did you...?
**[03:14] ---**
Hey, why didn't you have your way with her?
**[03:18] ---**
Because the princess wouldn't have liked it?
**[03:22] ---**
I'm sure you could've done her
and forgotten all your troubles.
**[03:26] ---**
Don't say that! Yuki isn't...
She isn't like that!
**[03:31] ---**
You're nice, Akira. That makes
it all the worse for you, though.
**[03:38] ---**
Who are you, anyway?!
**[03:41] ---**
My job is protecting the
"true blood" line of vampires.
**[03:47] ---**
I've never heard about people like you.
**[03:52] ---**
What *do* you know, Akira?
**[03:56] ---**
Yes. Even your first date with the princess...
**[04:00] ---**
That was actually a plan of hers
to lure out enemies trying to kill her.
**[04:08] ---**
An entire company of troops
was mobilized to protect you two.
**[04:14] ---**
It was actually cool the
way you fought so desperately,
**[04:18] ---**
thinking you were the only
one who could protect her!
**[04:24] ---**
You don't know anything,
**[04:26] ---**
not even about the
vampire bund or the princess.
**[04:35] ---**
She's not the nice person you think she is...
**[04:40] ---**
What does that mean?
**[04:42] ---**
If you don't know, why not
ask your nice princess yourself?
**[04:57] ---**
Wait! Hey! Wait!
**[04:59] ---**
My grandson! My grandson
has been attacked by vampires!
**[05:04] ---**
Oh, my. How unfortunate.
**[05:07] ---**
How brazen-faced! It's obvious *you* sent them!
**[05:11] ---**
Indeed, this is certainly a
result of my lack of supervision.
**[05:18] ---**
I guess this ruins my
plans for building a country.
**[05:21] ---**
I'll have to withdraw my
request for special zone approval.
**[05:25] ---**
Goodbye.
**[05:26] ---**
Wait! Where are you going?!
**[05:28] ---**
To get your grandson.
**[05:32] ---**
What a conundrum.
**[05:34] ---**
Without approval for the bund,
we will be forced to leave the country
**[05:39] ---**
in accord with your beloved "public opinion."
**[05:43] ---**
Your grandson has been bitten by a vampire.
**[05:47] ---**
He's now one of us.
**[05:51] ---**
Such a shame. Your future generations
were going to have prestige, too.
**[05:56] ---**
Shinya...
**[06:09] ---**
I'm very sorry, but I cannot allow it.
**[06:15] ---**
The princess is very tired. I can't
allow anyone to pass, not even you.
**[06:22] ---**
Wait! I need to talk to her!
**[06:28] ---**
Please leave.
**[06:32] ---**
*She's not the nice person you think she is...*
**[06:43] ---**
How is the boy in the guest suite doing?
**[06:45] ---**
He's been crying non-stop.
**[06:47] ---**
I see...
**[06:49] ---**
"Boy?"
**[06:51] ---**
Why did the princess
go after such a little child?
**[06:54] ---**
She must have a plan.
**[06:56] ---**
Yes. Something we don't need to know about...
**[07:06] ---**
Guest Suites
**[07:08] ---**
*Ask your nice princess yourself.*
**[07:30] ---**
What's wrong?
**[07:31] ---**
A lady brought me here.
**[07:34] ---**
--Can you tell me your name?
--Shinya Mizoguchi.
**[07:37] ---**
Mizoguchi?
**[07:38] ---**
My dad is Koichi Mizoguchi.
My grandpa is Katsuichi Mizoguchi.
**[07:45] ---**
The prime minister?!
**[07:46] ---**
It hurts...
**[07:48] ---**
Can I see?
**[07:55] ---**
I want to go home...
**[07:59] ---**
*After making his promise
to the ruler of the monsters,*
**[08:02] ---**
*the boy always remained by her side.*
**[08:06] ---**
*The people gossiped.*
**[08:08] ---**
*"He's been possessed.
It's his turn to be eaten next."*
**[08:15] ---**
*The boy didn't believe it.
He didn't want to believe it.*
**[08:21] ---**
*What bothered him was the top of the tower.*
**[08:24] ---**
*The ruler sometimes holed up there,
even staying away from the boy.*
**[08:36] ---**
*The boy mustered up the courage
to open the door to the ruler's room.*
**[08:44] ---**
*What he saw inside was...*
**[08:47] ---**
I just made the arrangements.
**[08:49] ---**
Tomorrow morning, your grandson
will wake up in his own bed.
**[08:54] ---**
Th-Thank you...
**[08:56] ---**
But first, there is something I need you to say.
**[09:01] ---**
It's simple.
**[09:03] ---**
The name of the mastermind
hiding in the background
**[09:09] ---**
who is funding you and
ordered you to crush the bill.
**[09:17] ---**
Yuki!
**[09:19] ---**
Hey, is it true that vampires attacked you?!
**[09:22] ---**
How did you know?
**[09:23] ---**
So it *is* true?!
**[09:24] ---**
Then it's true that lots of vampires
have snuck into the school too?!
**[09:29] ---**
Who told you that?!
**[09:30] ---**
Who?
**[09:31] ---**
Hiko! Quit spreading your made-up lies!
**[09:36] ---**
I'm not making up anything.
They've already taken over the school.
**[09:41] ---**
Who knows, there could even be
a vampire standing right next to you.
**[09:48] ---**
--Cut the crap!
--You wanna get hurt again?!
**[09:54] ---**
What's with that look?!
**[09:56] ---**
Keep your filthy hands... off me!
**[10:06] ---**
S-Stop, Hikosaka!
**[10:08] ---**
Yeah! We're friends!
**[10:12] ---**
Speak for yourself.
**[10:17] ---**
I'm nothing like you anymore!
**[10:23] ---**
This is fun! I finally know how it feels!
**[10:29] ---**
Bullying weaker people *is* fun!
**[10:33] ---**
I've surpassed humanity! I've
become a chosen dweller of the night!
**[10:40] ---**
--Hiko!
- -Why...?!
**[10:42] ---**
Saegusa. You've got guts.
**[10:45] ---**
Our friends warned you...
**[10:49] ---**
...but you waltz back here anyway!
**[10:54] ---**
Saegusa!
**[11:11] ---**
Hiko! You're...!
**[11:13] ---**
Let go, Kaburagi.
**[11:15] ---**
I don't want to hurt you.
You were always nice to me.
**[11:20] ---**
Do you realize what your
becoming a vampire means?!
**[11:26] ---**
Yeah! It means surpassing humans!
**[11:41] ---**
M-My fang...
**[11:44] ---**
Why, Hiko?
**[11:46] ---**
Why did you become a vampire?!
**[11:48] ---**
Akira...
**[11:53] ---**
You were always being bullied,
so I understand why you wanted power.
**[11:57] ---**
But... this wasn't the way to do it!
**[12:03] ---**
Tell me, Hiko! Who made you into a vampire?!
**[12:08] ---**
Who is your master?!
**[12:10] ---**
Umm, uhh...
**[12:14] ---**
Sorry!
**[12:15] ---**
Hiko!
**[12:31] ---**
You seem happy.
**[12:33] ---**
Akira!
**[12:34] ---**
Good news! A deal has finally been struck!
**[12:38] ---**
The announcement will be in a day or two!
**[12:40] ---**
That's great.
**[12:42] ---**
What's the matter, Akira? You seem cranky.
**[12:46] ---**
Vampires! Vampires have snuck into the school!
**[12:50] ---**
Not only that, they're even
going after regular students!
**[12:54] ---**
So you did know about that...
**[12:57] ---**
...and about the class president!
**[12:59] ---**
I did receive a report about it.
**[13:02] ---**
It was careless of me not
to be on top of the matter,
**[13:04] ---**
but there were more pressing
matters I had to attend to.
**[13:07] ---**
Pressing matters? Like using
a kid to blackmail all of Japan?!
**[13:13] ---**
How do you know about that?
**[13:15] ---**
I *met* the kid!
**[13:17] ---**
The bund's future is hanging by a thread.
**[13:21] ---**
I must use whatever means necessary.
**[13:23] ---**
But he's a kid! You know
full well that's going too far!
**[13:27] ---**
Don't speak as if you know everything!
**[13:29] ---**
What would *you* understand, anyway?!
**[13:33] ---**
The fate of the kingdom rests on my shoulders.
**[13:36] ---**
I will not hesitate to use
whatever tactics are necessary!
**[13:40] ---**
That is what a policymaker does!
**[13:43] ---**
You don't understand
long-term national policy, child!
**[13:45] ---**
You will stay out of this!
**[13:52] ---**
Princess. At least tell me this.
**[13:56] ---**
That day... The day you
came to the school to see me.
**[14:00] ---**
It was for a different purpose, wasn't it?
**[14:02] ---**
You won't believe anything I say anyway.
**[14:06] ---**
You really are just a kid...
**[14:10] ---**
Believing in idle promises
like that... It's hilarious!
**[14:14] ---**
If you say so.
**[14:25] ---**
I...
**[14:27] ---**
I want to believe, too!
**[14:41] ---**
Prime Minister Mizoguchi,
the leading opponent of the bill,
**[14:43] ---**
has just announced his resignation,
citing health concerns as the reason.
**[14:49] ---**
The prime minister had
threatened to dissolve the legislature
**[14:52] ---**
if the Special Zone
Establishment Bill neared passage,
**[14:54] ---**
but because of his resignation,
the bill is expected to pass.
**[14:57] ---**
Following this news,
**[14:59] ---**
an emergency meeting of the
heads of the ruling party has been called.
**[15:03] ---**
Meanwhile, the stock market
took a sharp upward turn
**[15:05] ---**
as a result of overseas investors--
**[15:08] ---**
This one...
**[15:10] ---**
A-And... this one.
**[15:13] ---**
This one went berserk today like Hikosaka.
**[15:17] ---**
How deplorable.
**[15:18] ---**
In the short time since Princess Mina showed up,
**[15:22] ---**
it's like the school--no, the
entire world--has completely changed.
**[15:29] ---**
Damn you, vampires...
**[15:35] ---**
Akira...
**[15:37] ---**
What do *you* want?!
**[15:41] ---**
Help me.
**[15:43] ---**
Help you do what?
**[15:45] ---**
I'm kicking out every
vampire hiding in our school!
**[15:52] ---**
Before she went missing,
Class President Shinonome's wish
**[15:55] ---**
was for the students to protect themselves.
**[15:58] ---**
We must carry on that wish.
**[16:01] ---**
Thank you for helping, Sister Laura.
**[16:04] ---**
Protecting you is my duty as an
instructor and as a servant to God.
**[16:12] ---**
So, here's the plan.
**[16:14] ---**
The first step is figuring
out who's snuck into the school
**[16:18] ---**
after becoming vampires.
**[16:20] ---**
But how do we do that?
**[16:22] ---**
A lot of regular students
have become vampires too.
**[16:27] ---**
There *is* a way to find out.
**[16:30] ---**
There'll be a school-wide assembly
tomorrow morning, in the sunlight.
**[16:34] ---**
As you know, sunlight destroys vampires' bodies.
**[16:39] ---**
They won't be able to attend the assembly.
**[16:42] ---**
But isn't there something they can lather on?
**[16:44] ---**
That's no problem, either.
**[16:46] ---**
Akira.
**[16:47] ---**
Shade Gel evaporates and loses its effects
**[16:50] ---**
after about 15 minutes in direct sunlight.
**[16:53] ---**
It's not perfect protection.
**[16:55] ---**
--Isn't that Princess Mina's...?
--Can we really trust him?
**[16:58] ---**
Kaburagi came to *us* for help.
**[17:01] ---**
It's okay. He's on our side.
**[17:03] ---**
They have a unique smell of
blood. I can tell who they are.
**[17:07] ---**
There you have it.
**[17:10] ---**
Yes, while we're on the subject,
I take it there aren't any vampires here?
**[17:14] ---**
Nope. Don't worry.
**[17:16] ---**
But everyone will need to stay here tonight.
**[17:19] ---**
Why?
**[17:20] ---**
Knowing them, they've definitely
caught on to what we're doing.
**[17:24] ---**
If we split up, we'll be attacked one by one.
**[17:28] ---**
Sister. Is this place safe?
**[17:32] ---**
Probably. There are shutters on the windows,
**[17:34] ---**
and there's a generator inside.
**[17:38] ---**
Everyone who doesn't
show up tomorrow is a vampire.
**[17:42] ---**
Once we've identified
them, they can be dealt with.
**[17:44] ---**
We will protect the school ourselves! Agreed?!
**[17:48] ---**
Yes!
**[17:56] ---**
I have a favor to ask, Kaburagi.
**[17:59] ---**
What is it?
**[18:01] ---**
We need tools for fighting vampires.
**[18:05] ---**
It's dangerous tonight, but
tomorrow's assembly will be too.
**[18:08] ---**
We'll be helpless if they come after us.
**[18:11] ---**
Isn't there anything we can use?
**[18:14] ---**
I could probably find
stuff in the special zone...
**[18:16] ---**
Akira. Do it for me, too.
**[18:18] ---**
But...
**[18:19] ---**
I've decided to trust you. So trust us, too.
**[18:26] ---**
Alright.
**[18:30] ---**
Akira...
**[18:32] ---**
Yuki...
**[18:35] ---**
Are you sure about this?
**[18:36] ---**
I want to be sure about my feelings.
**[18:40] ---**
So...
**[18:42] ---**
...I will fight the princess.
**[18:45] ---**
Can I ask you one thing?
**[18:47] ---**
About that ring...
**[18:51] ---**
I'm sorry. It's actually gone missing.
**[18:54] ---**
Did you give it to anyone?
**[18:56] ---**
Of course not!
**[18:58] ---**
After all, it's the symbol of our promise.
**[19:03] ---**
I finally remember.
**[19:06] ---**
You gave me this, Saegusa?
**[19:09] ---**
Then, does that mean we're...?
**[19:13] ---**
No, it's a symbol of our promise.
**[19:16] ---**
Our promise that we'll always be friends.
**[19:22] ---**
I should've said that we
were boyfriend and girlfriend.
**[19:27] ---**
But you didn't lie, and
you stayed by my side anyway.
**[19:34] ---**
You helped me so much
after I lost my memory...
**[19:39] ---**
No, it's okay. I was very happy, too...
**[19:45] ---**
Thanks, Yuki.
**[19:47] ---**
I *will* keep you safe!
**[19:51] ---**
Right!
**[19:54] ---**
As soon as I leave, seal all the
doors and windows and keep them shut!
**[19:59] ---**
Do *not* open them, no matter what!
**[20:01] ---**
Vampires are clever!
They'll play tricks with your mind!
**[20:07] ---**
Let your guard down and it's all over!
**[20:11] ---**
Dummy...
**[20:16] ---**
Well?
**[20:18] ---**
Most of junior high is out.
**[20:19] ---**
High school lets out next--
**[20:25] ---**
Will it really be sunny tomorrow?
**[20:28] ---**
The weather forecast said so.
**[20:34] ---**
This is the slow way to do this, you know?
**[20:40] ---**
Vampire society is supposedly like
a pyramid, with the ruler at the top.
**[20:45] ---**
If we could do something about her,
it could fix everything else...
**[20:51] ---**
That's probably out of the question, though.
**[20:57] ---**
--What the...?!
- -A blackout?!
**[21:01] ---**
S-Stay calm, everyone.
I'll go turn on the generator...
**[21:05] ---**
You don't think it's them, do you?!
**[21:12] ---**
Everyone... Everyone...
**[21:15] ---**
Wh-Who's there?!
**[21:17] ---**
It's me... Help me... It's me...
**[21:21] ---**
That's... the class president's voice!
**[21:23] ---**
No way! Is that you, Class President?!
**[21:26] ---**
I managed to escape. But I'm hurt.
**[21:31] ---**
Please, let me in...
**[21:33] ---**
Vice President!
**[21:35] ---**
We have no choice.
**[21:37] ---**
Hold on! We're opening the door!
**[21:39] ---**
No! Don't! Remember what Akira said!
**[21:42] ---**
Don't be stupid! It's the class president!
**[21:45] ---**
Yeah! She's all right!
**[21:47] ---**
No! Wait!
**[21:52] ---**
No!
**[21:57] ---**
Class... President...
**[21:59] ---**
Yuki...
**[22:02] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[22:21] ---**
*As I doze in the darkness, black shadows*
**[22:26] ---**
*dig their nails into soft skin*
**[22:32] ---**
*Drunk from pleasure, the ignorant ones rush*
**[22:43] ---**
*Sweet, unrestrained impulses*
**[22:48] ---**
*The pointlessness only incites them even more*
**[22:54] ---**
*Now dress up with the cloth that
swallows all the light of the night*
**[22:59] ---**
*and dance*
**[23:06] ---**
*Clumsy nails touch a heart about to break*
**[23:11] ---**
*and creep to the top of the throat*
**[23:17] ---**
*A world that needs protecting
and a purity I want to protect...*
**[23:23] ---**
*I'll bear the momentary pain*
**[23:28] ---**
*and then fall fettered again*
**[23:42] ---**
Dance with the Three Stupid Maids!
**[23:44] ---**
Who're you calling stupid?!
**[23:46] ---**
That boy won't stop crying.
**[23:48] ---**
Look, Shinya! I'm Dracula! Aren't I cool?!
**[23:52] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[23:53] ---**
Japanese children love monsters!
**[23:56] ---**
You idiot! This is what kids like!
**[24:00] ---**
I don't think so.
**[24:02] ---**
What?! I'm white and have horns!
**[24:04] ---**
Don't do that, Nella!
**[24:05] ---**
But kids love it.
**[24:07] ---**
No, no, no!
**[24:08] ---**
Continued in Episode 7
**[24:08] ---**
It'll make grownups mad!
**[24:10] ---**
This is complicated...

**[00:42] ---**
Someone...
**[00:46] ---**
Help...
**[00:48] ---**
The school...
**[00:53] ---**
My friends...
**[01:19] ---**
*Yuki... Everyone...*
**[01:26] ---**
*Hang on!*
**[01:29] ---**
Hey, boy. Are you sure you
should be taking a casual stroll here?
**[01:34] ---**
Who are you?
**[01:35] ---**
I met you once, right after you
lost your memory. Do you remember?
**[01:44] ---**
You were an investigator
looking into the accident...
**[01:49] ---**
That was a lie.
**[01:54] ---**
I'm Alphonse Medici Borgiani.
**[01:59] ---**
Despite how I look,
I'm actually a genuine marquis.
**[02:03] ---**
I'm another supporter of
the royal family, like Dermaille.
**[02:07] ---**
Though, in my case, I specialize
in work that needs to be hush-hush.
**[02:12] ---**
Then *you're* the one...
**[02:15] ---**
...who attacked that boy?!
**[02:16] ---**
Correct. You didn't seem too fond of it, though.
**[02:21] ---**
I was the one who thought
up and suggested the plan.
**[02:25] ---**
The princess doesn't deserve the blame.
**[02:27] ---**
She agreed to it! That's
basically the same thing!
**[02:31] ---**
The princess performed her
duties as a policymaker. That's all.
**[02:35] ---**
But what about *you*?
**[02:43] ---**
First, you abandon your duty
of serving by the princess' side,
**[02:47] ---**
and then you abandon the
friends you *should* be protecting!
**[02:50] ---**
You don't mean...!
**[02:52] ---**
Lord Alphonse. Lift ♪13 is ready.
**[02:56] ---**
The team monitoring the church was attacked.
**[02:59] ---**
The enemy has infiltrated the
church and taken full control of it.
**[03:05] ---**
If you're in a hurry, come with me.
**[03:14] ---**
You're dutiful.
**[03:16] ---**
But you can forget about
delivering weapons to the church now.
**[03:19] ---**
Shut up!
**[03:21] ---**
His over-stubbornness is just like yours, Wolf.
**[03:26] ---**
Dad!
**[03:28] ---**
Listen, Akira.
**[03:30] ---**
When I saw you one year ago
**[03:32] ---**
after you failed your
mission and lost your memory,
**[03:35] ---**
I had only two choices
now that you were useless:
**[03:39] ---**
to kill you or not to kill you.
**[03:43] ---**
I was for killing you, just so you know.
**[03:46] ---**
Especially given what you had apparently seen...
**[03:51] ---**
But in the end, we decided to let you go
**[03:54] ---**
and told the princess that you
went missing during the operation.
**[04:01] ---**
Don't make me regret that!
**[04:08] ---**
That's how important you are to the princess.
**[04:13] ---**
Dunno how important she is to you, though...
**[04:18] ---**
Listen, Akira! If you go,
there will be no turning back!
**[04:22] ---**
Are you prepared to do it anyway?!
**[04:27] ---**
Yes!
**[04:32] ---**
But I'm not doing it because you two said so.
**[04:43] ---**
*This is between me and the princess.*
**[05:51] ---**
No! Forgive me!
**[05:55] ---**
There's no use praying.
**[05:57] ---**
*Real* vampires aren't afraid of God or crosses.
**[06:03] ---**
That's right. We aren't afraid of anything.
**[06:06] ---**
There's no need *to* be afraid.
**[06:09] ---**
With great joy they will awaken as vampires.
**[06:13] ---**
No...!
**[06:17] ---**
A vampire's blood-sucking
is the ultimate pleasure.
**[06:21] ---**
It makes sex pale in comparison.
**[06:26] ---**
Yes, Sister...
**[06:29] ---**
You hide your young body in
religious garb and live an abstinent life,
**[06:33] ---**
so I especially want you
to experience this pleasure!
**[06:36] ---**
No!
**[06:37] ---**
Hey, guys!
**[06:38] ---**
Here's Sister Laura!
I know you've been waiting for her!
**[06:50] ---**
Sister!
**[06:51] ---**
I-I'm sorry, everyone...
**[06:56] ---**
Now for you.
**[07:03] ---**
She hasn't had a drop of blood
since she became a vampire.
**[07:09] ---**
Quench her thirst.
**[07:14] ---**
I'm sorry, Yuki... I can't bear it any longer...
**[07:19] ---**
N-No...!
**[07:22] ---**
So, please...
**[07:25] ---**
Once you belong to us,
I'll have you take on that dog...
**[07:30] ---**
...with this silver sword!
**[07:34] ---**
I can't wait!
**[07:35] ---**
No... No!
**[07:40] ---**
A-Akira!
**[07:47] ---**
Do not call my servant's name imprudently!
**[07:59] ---**
It began with attacks by vampires,
whose numbers increased globally.
**[08:04] ---**
Some began to attack
humans without leaving any trace,
**[08:09] ---**
almost as if to flaunt their power.
**[08:12] ---**
I tried hard to stay hidden
myself, but to no avail.
**[08:16] ---**
Had nothing been done,
the existence of vampires
**[08:19] ---**
would've been revealed sooner or later...
**[08:23] ---**
...as absolute archenemies of mankind.
**[08:27] ---**
You saw for yourself at school
what kind of reaction and chaos
**[08:30] ---**
that would've caused throughout the world...
**[08:35] ---**
To avoid that worst-case scenario,
we chose to reveal ourselves
**[08:40] ---**
and show that we are a regulated society.
**[08:44] ---**
We would do so with...
**[08:44] ---**
...the vampire bund!
**[08:48] ---**
Manipulating Mizoguchi,
an opponent to the bund...
**[08:52] ---**
The incident at the school...
**[08:54] ---**
The terrorist attack at the press conference
**[08:56] ---**
and the attack on the princess
when she went to see you...
**[08:59] ---**
Even the guy who went berserk on that TV show...
**[09:03] ---**
It all stems from one thing...
**[09:05] ---**
The ones who plot to destroy the
millennia-old order between humans and vampires
**[09:09] ---**
and plunge the world into chaos.
**[09:13] ---**
The princess made the
decision to drag out and destroy
**[09:17] ---**
these conspirators who hide in
even darker darkness than we do.
**[09:22] ---**
She was even prepared to deceive allies
and sacrifice her most cherished feelings.
**[09:31] ---**
Princess...
**[09:32] ---**
And, as a result, the enemy's
identity at last became clear.
**[09:37] ---**
Who are they?!
**[09:39] ---**
They go by the name of...
**[09:41] ---**
Telomere.
**[09:43] ---**
You seem to be steeped in
the organization with that name...
**[09:47] ---**
...Jean Marais Dermaille.
**[09:50] ---**
I am greatly honored that you already
know my name and my organization!
**[09:55] ---**
I apologize for one of my men's actions earlier.
**[09:58] ---**
Is your father involved in any part of this?
**[10:03] ---**
No. Even my father is viewed as old-fashioned;
**[10:08] ---**
an obstacle that will
someday have to be destroyed.
**[10:11] ---**
Impudent boy from a
distinguished family, playing with fire...
**[10:15] ---**
You manipulated Mizoguchi and
even spread your reach to the school...
**[10:20] ---**
What are you scheming? What is it you want?
**[10:24] ---**
Everything.
**[10:26] ---**
Oh?
**[10:28] ---**
Don't you agree, though, that the way of life
**[10:31] ---**
for us and for humans
is already nearing its limit?
**[10:36] ---**
Even your power as ruler of the vampires
**[10:39] ---**
is limited by those three detestable clans,
**[10:43] ---**
all the more so in the human world!
**[10:45] ---**
What's needed is a new framework,
a new power, a new ruler!
**[10:52] ---**
And that ruler can only be you!
**[10:57] ---**
Now is the time to join us and
show the world the *true* royal road!
**[11:11] ---**
Royal road, huh? Interesting.
**[11:14] ---**
Princess?!
**[11:15] ---**
You talk like you know everything
**[11:17] ---**
and do all *this* for such a pathetic temptation?
**[11:26] ---**
No one... No one around
me understands me at all!
**[11:33] ---**
Why?! Is that not why
you built the vampire bund?!
**[11:40] ---**
Silence, insect!
**[11:42] ---**
You are in no position to speak of my kingdom!
**[11:51] ---**
I don't know what mistaken ideas you have,
**[11:55] ---**
but we can never be the rulers of this world!
**[11:58] ---**
Why not?!
**[11:59] ---**
We cannot live without humans.
Our existence depends on them.
**[12:05] ---**
We are but mere travelers.
**[12:08] ---**
I only wanted a branch for
those travelers to rest their wings
**[12:12] ---**
for a short while.
**[12:14] ---**
That is the purpose of the bund.
That is the purpose of the school.
**[12:18] ---**
I wanted to try living as a
child, for only a short time...
**[12:26] ---**
For only a short time, as a normal girl...
**[12:29] ---**
Princess...
**[12:32] ---**
But you can see how that turned out.
My laxness brought on all of this...
**[12:40] ---**
You will pay for what you've done!
**[12:42] ---**
Wait, Princess! If you won't
join us, then let us join you--!
**[12:47] ---**
Know your place!
**[12:49] ---**
Do you honestly think a mere
insect like you can do anything to me?
**[13:00] ---**
You transformed, huh?
**[13:02] ---**
That deplorable form is
befitting of thy true colors.
**[13:07] ---**
Stop!
**[13:10] ---**
As a child of Dermaille,
you cannot disobey my orders.
**[13:14] ---**
Though...
**[13:20] ---**
...the fact an insect like you has
blood close to mine makes me sick!
**[13:25] ---**
Please forgive me... Please...!
**[13:27] ---**
I will not.
**[13:33] ---**
Prin... cess...!
**[13:35] ---**
Let go!
**[13:37] ---**
It looks like the fight is settled.
**[13:44] ---**
The world will change. No,
we will use our power to change it.
**[13:49] ---**
Which is why...
**[13:51] ---**
...you must die, vampire!
**[13:54] ---**
No!
**[13:58] ---**
Yuki!
**[14:07] ---**
You!
**[14:22] ---**
Me, beaten by a lowly dog...!
**[14:25] ---**
Jean...
**[14:28] ---**
I heard Telomere had a human sympathizer too.
**[14:32] ---**
But I never imagined it was you, Vice President!
**[14:38] ---**
O-Our master...!
**[14:50] ---**
Hurry! Give the bitten girls the vaccine!
**[14:53] ---**
There's still time to keep
them from becoming vampires!
**[15:07] ---**
Princess...
**[15:09] ---**
Akira...
**[15:11] ---**
Princess...
**[15:26] ---**
Come on, let's go. It's over, right?
**[15:30] ---**
It isn't over yet.
**[15:33] ---**
Yeah.
**[15:34] ---**
What? Why?!
**[15:35] ---**
There is a reason.
**[15:37] ---**
I have my intentions, and you have yours.
**[15:43] ---**
Once a sword is drawn,
**[15:45] ---**
it cannot be put away
without first crossing blades.
**[15:49] ---**
Isn't that right, Akira?
**[15:51] ---**
Yes.
**[15:53] ---**
*One day, a boy asked the
great ruler of the monsters...*
**[15:58] ---**
*"You always scowl at the
world with such a sad look.*
**[16:02] ---**
*Are you always going to be that way?"*
**[16:04] ---**
I couldn't fully believe you... or myself.
**[16:10] ---**
You always fought all by yourself, and yet...
**[16:14] ---**
I do not need your sympathy!
**[16:17] ---**
*The ruler replied,*
**[16:19] ---**
*"If you promise to grant
my wish, I will stop being sad.*
**[16:25] ---**
*But, if you break your promise..."*
**[16:29] ---**
I want you back. I want you to be mine.
**[16:34] ---**
That is my weakness; an obsession with the past!
**[16:39] ---**
*"...I may devour you."*
**[16:43] ---**
*I knew. I knew all along.*
**[16:47] ---**
*I knew we could never go
back to how we were. Yet, I...*
**[16:52] ---**
If we can never go back...
**[16:54] ---**
*What bothered him was...*
**[16:56] ---**
...then may you be destroyed!
**[17:00] ---**
A transformation?!
**[17:02] ---**
*The boy mustered up the courage
to open the door to the ruler's room.*
**[17:07] ---**
*What he saw inside was...*
**[17:28] ---**
*That's...!*
**[17:29] ---**
*She's beautiful...*
**[17:47] ---**
Akira!
**[17:48] ---**
Your hand...
**[17:50] ---**
I never wanted you to know about it. But...
**[17:57] ---**
...this is why I couldn't accept
your declaration of love a year ago!
**[18:13] ---**
Thanks for everything.
I have to return to where I belong.
**[18:18] ---**
Akira... Akira!
**[18:49] ---**
You've grown stronger.
**[18:51] ---**
That little boy is nowhere to be seen now.
**[18:57] ---**
Everyone changes... Everyone.
**[19:01] ---**
Except for me.
**[19:05] ---**
I thought I understood that, but...
**[19:07] ---**
Princess...
**[19:08] ---**
I am the ruler of the vampires;
I control all of the world of darkness
**[19:12] ---**
and even death itself avoids crossing my path.
**[19:14] ---**
But I don't care about that.
**[19:17] ---**
What I wanted was something much simpler.
**[19:22] ---**
Amid this life of blood, scheming, and violence,
**[19:27] ---**
the promise we made that day was
the only thing that mattered to me.
**[19:35] ---**
I promise. I'll protect you.
I'll always be by your side.
**[19:40] ---**
Those words alone gave me warmth.
**[19:45] ---**
It was that warmth that carried me this far.
**[19:49] ---**
And soon I will have a kingdom.
**[19:54] ---**
But so what?
**[19:57] ---**
What I most wanted has
slipped through my hands...
**[20:03] ---**
Sentimental nonsense. Go ahead and laugh.
**[20:06] ---**
I am alone... I am utterly alone...
**[20:11] ---**
No, Akira...
**[20:13] ---**
*"But, if you break your
promise, I may devour you.*
**[20:19] ---**
*Will you still promise, despite that?"*
**[20:21] ---**
No!
**[20:23] ---**
*"I promise," the boy said, with a strong nod.*
**[20:28] ---**
*"In that case, my wish is..."*
**[20:59] ---**
Things are finally back to how they were...
**[21:03] ---**
Akira! Akira!
**[21:05] ---**
It's all right. Werewolves are immortal.
**[21:08] ---**
You fool! Don't speak!
**[21:10] ---**
Just listen. I probably already died.
**[21:16] ---**
And now we've reunited.
**[21:18] ---**
What brought me back from
death was the sight of you crying...
**[21:24] ---**
...and that promise...
**[21:27] ---**
Akira...
**[21:28] ---**
I promise. I'll never forget again.
**[21:33] ---**
I'll always be with you.
**[21:35] ---**
Always.
**[21:38] ---**
Akira...
**[21:57] ---**
The bill is hereby passed by majority vote!
**[22:07] ---**
Akira Kaburagi Regendorf.
**[22:11] ---**
I bestow upon thee knighthood and
a place among the ranks of warriors.
**[22:35] ---**
Vera told me you gave Shinya,
the prime minister's grandson,
**[22:39] ---**
a vaccine and gave him back right away...
**[22:44] ---**
...and about the girls who
were attacked at the church.
**[22:46] ---**
Thanks.
**[22:47] ---**
Still, that does not change the
fact that I used a child as a shield
**[22:52] ---**
or that I caused those girls mental trauma.
**[22:55] ---**
Tell me, Akira. Do you truly have no regrets?
**[22:58] ---**
I don't.
**[23:00] ---**
I told you before. I'll be with you always.
**[23:16] ---**
People gathered in my shadow! Listen well!
**[23:20] ---**
I hereby declare the establishment
**[23:22] ---**
of the kingdom of our kin of darkness...
**[23:24] ---**
The establishment of our vampire bund!
**[23:31] ---**
*It was a story of a promise.*
**[23:42] ---**
*A small tale of the lonely ruler of
monsters, the boy who gave his all to her,*
**[23:48] ---**
*and their love.*
**[23:53] ---**
Dance with the Vampire Maids!
**[23:55] ---**
Part 7!
**[23:56] ---**
You still won’t recognize
Akira as my knight?
**[23:59] ---**
Nothing of the sort. It’s just…
**[24:02] ---**
He was impaled trying to protect me!
**[24:05] ---**
I can impale myself for you too!
**[24:08] ---**
You would turn into ash!
**[24:10] ---**
I’d gladly turn to ash for you, Princess!
**[24:13] ---**
Oh, you…
**[24:15] ---**
Umm, could you either talk or tend to me?
**[24:17] ---**
Could you hand me that gauze, Princess?
**[24:20] ---**
Continued in Episode 8
**[24:20] ---**
Don’t go *through* me!

**[00:19] ---**
They used to be fiction but now they're real;
**[00:23] ---**
it's made it a lot harder
to work on vampire manga.
**[00:26] ---**
But I hear your past works
are selling very well now!
**[00:29] ---**
Even on TV you're in great demand!
You must be making a lot!
**[00:32] ---**
Well, I guess!
**[00:34] ---**
What about you, Yumi? You've
actually been bitten by a vampire!
**[00:38] ---**
They say more and more people
are idolizing vampires lately!
**[00:41] ---**
I wound up getting the vaccine
so I didn't turn into a vampire.
**[00:46] ---**
But it felt so good when I was bitten!
**[00:55] ---**
S-Sister...
**[00:57] ---**
Yuzuru...
**[01:14] ---**
Sister!
**[01:17] ---**
Nanami!
**[01:36] ---**
*The day we exchanged a kiss*
**[01:42] ---**
*I wasn't even able to see my mother's face*
**[01:48] ---**
*We gathered up the coins in our pockets*
**[01:53] ---**
*and counted our dreams one by one*
**[02:00] ---**
*Look, there's their secret hideout*
**[02:07] ---**
*their secret memories, oh*
**[02:12] ---**
*Where did it fall apart, oh friends*
**[02:18] ---**
*When we gazed at each other on downcast days*
**[02:24] ---**
*and held hands, oh friends*
**[02:30] ---**
*it felt like time had stopped*
**[03:00] ---**
*That night, beneath the pale
moonlight, I experienced an end to love.*
**[03:07] ---**
*A month had passed since the chapel takeover,*
**[03:09] ---**
*and it finally seemed as if
calmness had returned to the school...*
**[03:13] ---**
*But deep scars remained,*
**[03:16] ---**
*and I began to feel a great
distance between Akira and me...*
**[03:22] ---**
*Werewolves. The Earth Clan.*
**[03:27] ---**
*The fate carried by the
side of him I didn't know.*
**[03:30] ---**
*But that wasn't all.*
**[03:32] ---**
*She had always been in his heart.*
**[03:39] ---**
According to a government-conducted survey,
**[03:41] ---**
30% of young people
answered "yes" to the question,
**[03:44] ---**
"Would you want to become a vampire?"
**[03:47] ---**
They cited having eternal life as their reason.
**[03:52] ---**
Well, at least all is going to plan now.
**[03:55] ---**
Yes. But there is one troubling rumor.
**[03:58] ---**
Apparently some vampires broke out of the bund
**[04:00] ---**
and now wander around the city at night.
**[04:03] ---**
The vampire bund is supposed
to be completely sealed off.
**[04:05] ---**
We cannot allow anyone to break out of it...
**[04:11] ---**
Investigate immediately and
determine the truth of these rumors.
**[04:17] ---**
I've brought a draft of the
student council officer invitation.
**[04:20] ---**
It looks like none of them
intend to come back after all.
**[04:23] ---**
I see.
**[04:24] ---**
We have a counselor who
specializes in vampire-related PTSD.
**[04:29] ---**
It would be better for
them to remain at the school.
**[04:31] ---**
We can't force them to do
what they don't want to do.
**[04:35] ---**
*She has two faces.*
**[04:39] ---**
*One has concern for the weak.*
**[04:41] ---**
*The other is the one that
cruelly punishes her followers*
**[04:45] ---**
*and also fought Akira to the death...*
**[04:47] ---**
*Which one is her real face?*
**[04:50] ---**
Why are you fixated on my face?
**[04:53] ---**
Worry not. You have a rather lovely face too.
**[04:57] ---**
Is that how you always tease Akira?
**[05:01] ---**
After we reunited he would grow
flustered every time I said something,
**[05:05] ---**
but lately he has become
strangely calm and composed.
**[05:08] ---**
He would've said, "Yes. You're cute.
You're cute." if I had teased him the same way.
**[05:13] ---**
That was a good impression.
**[05:15] ---**
I'm always watching him.
I never grow tired of it.
**[05:20] ---**
Umm, anyway, could you look
at this draft of the invitation--
**[05:26] ---**
I-I brought the wrong
notebook! I'll be right back!
**[05:36] ---**
Sunbathing?
**[05:38] ---**
When you hang around vampires
you start to become nocturnal.
**[05:41] ---**
Do you miss the sun sometimes?
**[05:45] ---**
That isn't your seat.
**[05:50] ---**
Is it your beloved princess'?
**[05:51] ---**
Then why don't you take it by force? If you can.
**[05:57] ---**
Just as I expected!
**[06:10] ---**
You... That's...
**[06:12] ---**
This is a treasure.
**[06:15] ---**
It's a replica, but the person most
important to me has one just like it.
**[06:21] ---**
By the way, Akira...
**[06:23] ---**
Huh?
**[06:23] ---**
How long are you going to cop a feel?
**[06:26] ---**
Ooh!
**[06:30] ---**
What happened? What was that noise?
**[06:33] ---**
Oww...
**[06:35] ---**
Akira!
**[06:35] ---**
Y-Yuki! It's not what you--!
**[06:39] ---**
I was sleeping and slipped out of my chair!
**[06:43] ---**
Were you waiting for the princess?
**[06:46] ---**
Yeah. Is she finished with work yet?
**[06:50] ---**
No, I think it's going
to be a little bit longer.
**[06:59] ---**
*I guess I shouldn't be by
the princess' side after all.*
**[07:02] ---**
*Even if it means quitting the student council.*
**[07:05] ---**
*Seeing them together is too painful for me.*
**[07:11] ---**
Princess! That's...!
**[07:13] ---**
Yes. It's a bit unexpected,
but I didn't know you wrote novels.
**[07:18] ---**
Th-That's mean! That's mean!
**[07:23] ---**
I knew it was rude of me
to read it without asking,
**[07:25] ---**
but once I started I simply couldn't stop.
**[07:28] ---**
Your story is interesting.
I was caught up in it.
**[07:33] ---**
You're lying...
**[07:34] ---**
Why would I lie?
**[07:35] ---**
I've read everything
from Ulysses to Oliver Twist.
**[07:37] ---**
You can trust my opinion.
**[07:40] ---**
It's not quite Byron or Rimbaud,
**[07:43] ---**
but your writing is filled with
your fledgling sparkle and gentleness.
**[07:48] ---**
This is your essence.
**[07:50] ---**
It is a quality that cannot be taught.
**[07:53] ---**
No, I'm not that great...
**[07:55] ---**
No, I can tell. You've even shed tears for me.
**[08:01] ---**
Even after I intimidated
you and told you to begone.
**[08:08] ---**
No, Akira...
**[08:10] ---**
That's... not...
**[08:11] ---**
I must apologize to you for two things now.
**[08:15] ---**
Two?
**[08:18] ---**
I lied. Akira didn't give it to me.
**[08:22] ---**
I beg your forgiveness.
**[08:24] ---**
I was envious.
**[08:25] ---**
You had a connection with
him not out of servitude or fate,
**[08:29] ---**
but out of camaraderie.
**[08:32] ---**
Princess...
**[08:36] ---**
Yuki?
**[08:38] ---**
There's nothing to forgive.
**[08:40] ---**
I'm just like you. I love Akira.
**[08:44] ---**
I guess we're comrades!
**[08:48] ---**
You... would consider me your comrade?
**[08:51] ---**
Kind child who knows bravery and understanding.
**[08:54] ---**
I knew if I ever made a friend it
would be with someone like you.
**[09:00] ---**
O-Oh? Are you that dismayed?!
**[09:03] ---**
I'm... not that great of a person!
**[09:06] ---**
I had doubts about you
and was jealous of you too...
**[09:10] ---**
Then we can help each other.
**[09:12] ---**
Let us work together to make
up for what the other lacks.
**[09:14] ---**
We might make a surprisingly good match!
**[09:17] ---**
Okay, then we'll be confidantes!
**[09:20] ---**
Montgomery, right?
**[09:21] ---**
Unfortunately, I don't have
red hair and I lack freckles,
**[09:25] ---**
but will you accept me anyway?
**[09:27] ---**
Gladly!
**[09:32] ---**
By the way, may I ask something?
**[09:34] ---**
What?
**[09:35] ---**
Occasionally there were words
in this novel I did not understand.
**[09:38] ---**
Things like "seductive bottom,"
"aggressive top," and "CP"...
**[09:42] ---**
What are these things? Are they codes
for something in Japanese literature?
**[09:49] ---**
What's the matter?
**[09:50] ---**
N-Nothing! Right, Princess?!
**[09:52] ---**
Please don't tell Akira about my novels.
**[09:57] ---**
Yes. Understood.
**[09:59] ---**
Are you sure?
**[10:00] ---**
Say something if the princess
is mean to you, okay, Yuki?
**[10:03] ---**
Mean? How can you say
that about such a pretty girl?
**[10:07] ---**
Yes. You're cute. You're cute.
**[10:12] ---**
You're creeping me out.
I thought you two were fighting?
**[10:16] ---**
Of course we weren't! Right, Princess?
**[10:19] ---**
Right. We're confidantes.
**[10:22] ---**
When did you two--?
**[10:24] ---**
Isn't it nice? Friends who
can share the same feelings...
**[10:29] ---**
*I had finally regained my smile.*
**[10:33] ---**
*But little did we know that the
terrible incident had already begun...*
**[10:44] ---**
Hey, kid!
**[10:46] ---**
What are you doing out this late?
**[10:47] ---**
Officer
**[10:49] ---**
I-I'm, uhh, looking for someone.
**[10:52] ---**
So I'm going to the vampire bund...
**[10:53] ---**
Oh? You wanna meet a vampire?
**[10:57] ---**
That's perfect, then!
**[11:04] ---**
Don't bare your fangs in public.
You have no decency.
**[11:07] ---**
I guess the rumors about vampires
leaking out of the bund *are* true.
**[11:28] ---**
He self-destructed?
**[11:35] ---**
Are you a vampire?!
**[11:38] ---**
Please take me to the bund!
I'm looking for someone!
**[11:44] ---**
I can't do that.
**[11:45] ---**
Humans aren't allowed in the bund,
and only vampires live there.
**[11:50] ---**
The person I'm looking for is...
**[11:52] ---**
My sister, she's a vampire!
**[11:55] ---**
Sister? Is she a member of your family?
**[11:58] ---**
We're neighbors. She's looked
after me ever since I was little, so...
**[12:02] ---**
What is her name?
**[12:04] ---**
Nanami.
**[12:07] ---**
Nanami Shinonome.
**[12:24] ---**
You sure are daring for
someone who seems so reserved!
**[12:40] ---**
Well done, little piglet.
**[12:43] ---**
Come here.
**[12:57] ---**
Nanami Shinonome?
**[12:58] ---**
The student council president!
**[13:01] ---**
The students who were attacked at
the church were given the vaccine,
**[13:05] ---**
but Nanami Shinonome has
been a vampire for some time now,
**[13:08] ---**
so the vaccine can't be used on her.
**[13:11] ---**
There *is* record of her
entering the special zone,
**[13:14] ---**
but there were no signs of
her at her assigned residence.
**[13:18] ---**
And the students who were also
sent with her to the special zone?
**[13:22] ---**
All the same.
**[13:23] ---**
We know over a dozen went to the
island but have since gone missing.
**[13:27] ---**
They might not even be in the special zone.
**[13:30] ---**
If they've taken away over a
dozen vampires without our knowing,
**[13:34] ---**
then there must be a
highly-organized group behind it.
**[13:37] ---**
You mean the Telomere organization?
**[13:39] ---**
Okay, let us first spread
a net and obtain evidence.
**[13:43] ---**
We can look into who is behind this after that.
**[13:45] ---**
But the class president's
master, Jean Marais, is dead.
**[13:49] ---**
She may be serving under a new master now.
**[13:53] ---**
Why would she do that?
**[13:54] ---**
She isn't heartless.
**[13:57] ---**
She is troubled with worries and
delusions we cannot begin to imagine,
**[14:01] ---**
and that may have been used against her.
**[14:05] ---**
Delusions?
**[14:06] ---**
Worry not. I *will* save Nanami Shinonome.
**[14:10] ---**
You wait here with Yuzuru.
**[14:13] ---**
Let's go, Akira.
**[14:25] ---**
Yuzuru...
**[14:26] ---**
What do you want to see him for?
**[14:30] ---**
Are you going to turn him into a vampire too?
**[14:32] ---**
Princess...
**[14:34] ---**
You've certainly abandoned your morals
**[14:36] ---**
in the short time I haven't seen you.
**[14:37] ---**
Per the blood compact, thou shalt
obey thy ruler, Nanami Shinonome!
**[14:42] ---**
You will return with me to the bund at once.
**[14:47] ---**
Oh? You refuse to obey me?
**[14:53] ---**
So someone else *has* gotten to her!
**[14:54] ---**
Akira!
**[14:59] ---**
Akira!
**[15:00] ---**
I'm fine!
**[15:01] ---**
Damn you!
**[15:02] ---**
Princess! Vera!
**[15:04] ---**
Ambushers are nearby!
**[15:06] ---**
Nest One to Fang Leader. Requesting backup.
**[15:09] ---**
Roger! Fang Leader out!
**[15:12] ---**
Where's the Princess?!
**[15:13] ---**
I'm catching up to her!
**[15:15] ---**
I'm on my way, too!
**[15:21] ---**
Nanami Shinonome. Cease your running.
**[15:24] ---**
I will do whatever it takes. Let me save you.
**[15:26] ---**
My, how generous of you!
**[15:29] ---**
The ruler of the kin of the night,
**[15:32] ---**
feeling indebted to such a
commonplace female vampire.
**[15:35] ---**
To be honest, I'm dismayed.
**[15:38] ---**
Let me introduce myself.
My name is Hysterica. It's a pleasure.
**[15:42] ---**
So *you're* her new master, huh?
**[15:45] ---**
Hysterica or whatever.
**[15:46] ---**
What is your scheme,
gathering vampires like this?!
**[15:50] ---**
Step back, Princess!
**[15:51] ---**
Are you the wolf boy I've
heard about? How gallant you are.
**[15:55] ---**
But can you handle this many all by yourself?
**[16:01] ---**
Hiko?!
**[16:03] ---**
Hear me now!
**[16:03] ---**
Surely some among you did
not wish to become vampires.
**[16:08] ---**
Yield to me and join my kingdom.
**[16:10] ---**
Do so and I swear to protect
and foster you to my fullest ability.
**[16:15] ---**
Are you a fool?! Acting like a goody-two-shoes!
**[16:18] ---**
And you call yourself
the ruler of the vampires?!
**[16:21] ---**
I *am* the ruler of the vampires.
**[16:25] ---**
But *your* true character is starting to show.
**[16:27] ---**
Watch what you say or you'll give yourself away.
**[16:31] ---**
Attack!
**[16:43] ---**
We, the eight elite Beowulfs, have
rushed here per Sir Regendorf's instructions
**[16:48] ---**
to protect you, Your Highness!
**[16:51] ---**
Please give your orders, Princess.
**[16:53] ---**
Don't touch the boss woman or the girl.
**[16:56] ---**
But return all of the
others to the dust of the earth!
**[16:59] ---**
As you wish!
**[17:00] ---**
Demonstrate thine allegiance to me!
**[17:03] ---**
Work to thy fullest extent, Wolf Boys!
**[17:05] ---**
Draw weapons!
**[17:27] ---**
Just as I'd expect from the
princess' most loyal guard dogs.
**[17:29] ---**
You mean business.
**[17:33] ---**
Princess Mina!
**[17:36] ---**
Now you will reveal your scheme.
**[17:40] ---**
Nanami!
**[17:42] ---**
You're being too reckless, Princess!
**[17:46] ---**
Don't go, Nanami!
**[17:48] ---**
Are you that worried about
her that you'd ignore *me*?
**[17:51] ---**
Don't you dare mock me!
**[17:54] ---**
Vera!
**[17:55] ---**
I'll handle this.
**[17:57] ---**
I leave it to you.
**[18:01] ---**
This brings back memories!
**[18:03] ---**
Veratos! When was the last time we met? 1900?
**[18:07] ---**
1918, in Paris, Francesca.
**[18:10] ---**
Call me Hysterica. That
sounds much better nowadays.
**[18:15] ---**
You changed your name again?
**[18:17] ---**
Do you keep changing masters the same way too?
**[18:21] ---**
I don't fondly worship a
single master like you do.
**[18:26] ---**
So now you're a servant of Telomere?
**[18:30] ---**
What's with that pathetic outfit?
**[18:31] ---**
The great Veratos was once called
the Black Ruby in fashionable society!
**[18:37] ---**
You should've come with me then.
**[18:41] ---**
You could've had anything you wanted.
**[18:44] ---**
You wouldn't understand.
I don't need anything now.
**[18:48] ---**
The princess' trust is all that I need.
**[18:50] ---**
Why are you so loyal to that pathetic girl?
**[18:54] ---**
She's nothing but a ruler in
name who's trying to act like a lord
**[18:56] ---**
by creating a miniature
garden in this island country.
**[18:59] ---**
Be quiet!
**[19:00] ---**
Disparage her any more and
I will show no mercy, Hysterica!
**[19:04] ---**
Interesting! I think I'll finish
what we started 90 years ago!
**[19:14] ---**
Yuzuru?
**[19:17] ---**
Sister!
**[19:20] ---**
What's wrong? Where's your mom?
**[19:24] ---**
Day-trading as usual?
Who does she think her son is?
**[19:31] ---**
Come with me. I'm all alone, too.
**[19:33] ---**
I'll make you some food. We can eat together!
**[19:38] ---**
Are you lonely too?
**[19:40] ---**
Of course not. I have you!
**[19:43] ---**
Sister!
**[19:44] ---**
Don't go!
**[19:46] ---**
Don't go, Sister! Don't go!
**[19:51] ---**
Nanami.
**[19:52] ---**
I take it you resent me.
**[19:54] ---**
I do. I resent you!
**[19:56] ---**
Not because I wound up like
this! I don't care about that!
**[19:59] ---**
I tried to act like it was nothing before...!
**[20:01] ---**
I tried so hard to hide it...!
**[20:03] ---**
You're referring to the boy?
**[20:05] ---**
Don't say it!
**[20:07] ---**
It's terrible.
**[20:08] ---**
If he ever found out
I had such shameful feelings...
**[20:11] ---**
But... I can't stop it... I can't stop it!
**[20:15] ---**
Even as I speak, I want him so bad
it feels like my heart is about to burst!
**[20:19] ---**
Kill me! Kill me, before I defile him!
**[20:24] ---**
Nanami...
**[20:25] ---**
Kill me, before he can hate me!
**[20:29] ---**
Sister!
**[20:32] ---**
Yuzuru...
**[20:34] ---**
Sister!
**[20:35] ---**
No! Don't look! Don't look at me!
**[20:38] ---**
Sister!
**[20:39] ---**
Stay away from me!
**[20:41] ---**
She said stay away!
**[20:45] ---**
Yuzuru!
**[20:49] ---**
Vera!
**[20:50] ---**
I'm sorry, Princess! She got the best of me!
**[20:55] ---**
I look away for just a moment
and things start getting interesting!
**[20:59] ---**
Princess. So sorry, but I must be off now.
**[21:03] ---**
Look forward to seeing my plan in action.
**[21:05] ---**
Hysterica! What are you scheming?!
**[21:07] ---**
A splendid event that will
teach the cowardly humans
**[21:12] ---**
a lesson about the true terror of us vampires...
**[21:14] ---**
You're not going anywhere!
**[21:15] ---**
Stubborn wolf boy.
**[21:18] ---**
Out of the way!
**[21:20] ---**
Look out!
**[21:24] ---**
Princess!
**[21:30] ---**
I am fine. Akira protected me.
**[21:36] ---**
More self-destructions...
**[21:39] ---**
Damn you, Telomere.
**[21:41] ---**
It looks like you've
come up with a craftier trick
**[21:44] ---**
than stuffing plastic explosives in your gut...
**[21:57] ---**
*As I doze in the darkness, black shadows*
**[22:02] ---**
*dig their nails into soft skin*
**[22:08] ---**
*Drunk from pleasure, the ignorant ones rush*
**[22:19] ---**
*Sweet, unrestrained impulses*
**[22:24] ---**
*The pointlessness only incites them even more*
**[22:30] ---**
*Now dress up with the cloth that
swallows all the light of the night*
**[22:35] ---**
*and dance*
**[22:42] ---**
*Clumsy nails touch a heart about to break*
**[22:47] ---**
*and creep to the top of the throat*
**[22:53] ---**
*A world that needs protecting
and a purity I want to protect...*
**[22:58] ---**
*I'll bear the momentary pain*
**[23:04] ---**
*and then fall fettered again*
**[23:18] ---**
Dance with the Vampire Maids!
**[23:20] ---**
Part... what are we on again?
**[23:22] ---**
Here's the creator!
**[23:24] ---**
Hi.
**[23:25] ---**
Hey, why haven't we been
in the show much lately?
**[23:28] ---**
It's not my fault. There's
nothing for any of you to do.
**[23:30] ---**
Whoa!
**[23:31] ---**
Controversial remark!
**[23:33] ---**
Don't blame me. Mr. Yoshino
handles the series structure.
**[23:36] ---**
Huh? You aren't the writer?!
**[23:38] ---**
Do you think manga creators do
everything on the anime too, even the art?
**[23:41] ---**
Huh? They don't?
**[23:42] ---**
What are you, my grandmother?!
**[23:44] ---**

Nelly...

I didn't know that...

**[00:24] ---**
That look suits you well, little piglet.
**[00:28] ---**
It befits your sore soul.
**[00:32] ---**
I will grant your wish.
**[00:36] ---**
*"What is eternity?" the boy
asked the ruler of the monsters.*
**[00:41] ---**
*Eternal life. Eternal love.
The eternal flow of time...*
**[00:46] ---**
*At first glance, they all
appear to be wondrous things,*
**[00:50] ---**
*but they're also very cruel.*
**[00:53] ---**
*Eternity...*
**[00:55] ---**
Exactly one month since the
vampire bund's establishment,
**[00:59] ---**
Princess Mina sent out this message.
**[01:03] ---**
"I thank you all from the bottom of my
heart for your great understanding
**[01:07] ---**
and cooperation in regard
to the vampire bund's establishment."
**[01:08] ---**
What language is that?
**[01:09] ---**
Ancient Sumerian.
**[01:11] ---**
Why would she use that?
**[01:13] ---**
Those subtitles are fake.
It's actually saying this:
**[01:17] ---**
"I want to settle things once and for all.
**[01:18] ---**
I will wait for thee at sundown
today at the following location."
**[01:22] ---**
You mean it's...?
**[01:23] ---**
A challenge. Meant for Hysterica.
**[01:27] ---**
Our princess sure is daring.
**[01:46] ---**
*kuchizuke o kawashita hi wa*

*utsumuku hi wa mitsumeatte*
**[02:34] ---**
*yubi o tsunaidara oh friends*
**[02:40] ---**
*toki ga tomaru ki ga shita*
**[03:05] ---**
These vials were found inside the bodies
**[03:08] ---**
of the vampires working for Hysterica.
**[03:10] ---**
Analysis indicates that the contents
**[03:12] ---**
are a chemically-synthesized,
cellulose-based drug.
**[03:17] ---**
When mixed with vampire blood,
**[03:20] ---**
it triggers an intense chemical
reaction resulting in combustion.
**[03:24] ---**
"Agni's Blood."
**[03:26] ---**
In medieval vampire times, spies
and warriors captured by the enemy
**[03:31] ---**
would bite down on a tube
planted inside the mouth,
**[03:34] ---**
causing an explosion that
also took out everything nearby.
**[03:37] ---**
Yes. This is a new and
enhanced version of Agni's Blood,
**[03:41] ---**
created by modern science.
**[03:43] ---**
What is Hysterica using it for?
**[03:45] ---**
Suicide bombing, most likely.
**[03:48] ---**
They look like regular humans at first glance
**[03:50] ---**
and don't carry anything suspicious.
**[03:52] ---**
She plans to place "living
bombs" throughout the city
**[03:55] ---**
and blow them up all at once.
**[03:57] ---**
What is their aim?
**[03:59] ---**
To show the world again how
much of a threat vampires are.
**[04:02] ---**
If Vera is correct and
her new master is Telomere,
**[04:07] ---**
then we cannot overlook her.
**[04:08] ---**
But, even though it *is* an enhanced version,
**[04:11] ---**
it doesn't appear to be powerful
enough to destroy buildings.
**[04:15] ---**
Wouldn't that limit possible targets of attack?
**[04:17] ---**
Yes.
**[04:19] ---**
But if they detonate in crowded areas,
**[04:22] ---**
their lethality would be unfathomable.
**[04:24] ---**
Exactly.
**[04:26] ---**
These have a lethal range of 20 meters.
**[04:30] ---**
Easily enough to kill every
human in an enclosed area.
**[04:35] ---**
Yes. The subways.
**[04:38] ---**
It is almost certain that they
will be hiding underground today.
**[04:43] ---**
It goes without saying that
they will target the subways
**[04:46] ---**
that pose the least risk in terms
of movement and preparation.
**[04:49] ---**
How will she issue orders?
**[04:51] ---**
Via cell phone.
**[04:53] ---**
We believe Hysterica used a cell
phone to send self-destruct codes.
**[04:58] ---**
There are cell phone antennas everywhere.
**[05:00] ---**
Almost as if out of fear of there
being a place where signals can't reach.
**[05:06] ---**
3000 Beowulfs have begun searching
for the enemy throughout the city.
**[05:11] ---**
I need to get going too.
**[05:14] ---**
Don't worry.
**[05:15] ---**
The Earth Clan was originally
brought about to hunt down vampires.
**[05:21] ---**
We have 15,000 times better hearing
**[05:24] ---**
and a sense of smell 100,000
times stronger than humans.
**[05:26] ---**
Sniffing them out underground will be a cinch.
**[05:30] ---**
Be careful, Akira...
**[05:32] ---**
I will.
**[05:34] ---**
But what about you?
What did Yuzuru's parents say?
**[05:39] ---**
"We'll let you take care of him."
**[05:43] ---**
Apparently the vampire bund has
caused the stock market to go wild,
**[05:46] ---**
so they don't have time to look after him.
**[05:48] ---**
I can't believe it! They
call themselves parents?!
**[05:52] ---**
It must be really bad to make *you* mad.
**[05:56] ---**
But now I understand why Yuzuru
and the class president were so close.
**[06:01] ---**
She had a complicated life too.
Her parents lived apart and stuff...
**[06:07] ---**
What do you think the
princess plans to do about them?
**[06:11] ---**
Dunno. But I'm sure she's got something in mind.
**[06:15] ---**
At the very least, I'm sure she
thinks something has to be done.
**[06:22] ---**
How are your cuts? Do they still hurt?
**[06:26] ---**
No, I'm better now.
**[06:29] ---**
Umm...
**[06:31] ---**
Can I ask you something?
**[06:34] ---**
What is it?
**[06:35] ---**
How did you become a vampire?
Were you attacked like my sister?
**[06:42] ---**
I became a vampire by offering my blood
**[06:45] ---**
to the princess' mother, the previous ruler.
**[06:50] ---**
I chose to become an outsider of my own will.
**[06:53] ---**
Why would you *choose* to become a vampire?!
**[06:59] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[07:00] ---**
That's okay.
**[07:02] ---**
It was because I deeply
admired her... Queen Lucrezia.
**[07:06] ---**
I wanted to stay by her side
and be helpful to her. That's all.
**[07:12] ---**
She passed away, but she
entrusted the princess to me.
**[07:17] ---**
Ever since, the princess has been my all.
**[07:21] ---**
Vampires live through the heart.
**[07:24] ---**
With just one feeling,
a vampire can live forever.
**[07:30] ---**
Just one feeling...
**[07:33] ---**
This is Alpha Team.
**[07:34] ---**
Two marks on Shinjuku Station
platform on the Marunouchi Line.
**[07:36] ---**
This is Tango Team.
**[07:38] ---**
One mark at Nagatacho Station
ticket gate on the Hanzomon Line.
**[07:41] ---**
Charlie Team. Two marks in
Tokyo Station on the Marunouchi Line.
**[07:44] ---**
Omega Team. Two marks in
Toranomon Station on the Ginza Line.
**[07:48] ---**
Zebra Team. One mark in
Sakuradamon on the Yurakucho Line.
**[07:51] ---**
Three marks in Kasumigaseki on the Chiyoda Line.
**[07:53] ---**
All clear in Waseda on the Tozai Line!
**[07:55] ---**
Continue to scour the subway
stations and identify every last enemy.
**[08:01] ---**
But do absolutely nothing
**[08:04] ---**
until the princess nullifies
the enemy's self-destruct order!
**[08:08] ---**
Princess. We've detected two airborne objects
**[08:10] ---**
heading this way from the Tokyo Bay area.
**[08:13] ---**
She came...
**[08:26] ---**
How good of you to come, Lady Hysterica.
**[08:29] ---**
I couldn't turn down a personal
invitation from you, Princess.
**[08:32] ---**
I'm very curious as to
why you've asked me here...
**[08:37] ---**
But to be honest, I have
absolutely no desire to play with you.
**[08:41] ---**
You already know what I'm plotting.
**[08:45] ---**
Isn't this a great country?
**[08:47] ---**
Cell phones here will
always work, wherever you go.
**[08:50] ---**
Even if you're underground
or on top of a building.
**[08:52] ---**
Didn't a wise man once say that
civilization revenges itself on man?
**[08:58] ---**
My demand is extremely simple.
**[09:02] ---**
You will get into that helicopter with me.
**[09:05] ---**
That's all, nice princess.
**[09:08] ---**
You can't let innocent citizens
get caught up in this, can you?
**[09:13] ---**
I see. It does sound
extremely simple and risk-free.
**[09:19] ---**
However, there are always
unforeseen accidents lying in wait.
**[09:29] ---**
Do you not care what happens to the humans?!
**[09:32] ---**
Not so loud. You'll give yourself away.
**[09:35] ---**
Damn you!
**[09:38] ---**
Look where you're standing, Hysterica!
**[09:41] ---**
Vera!
**[09:59] ---**
Princess Mina!
**[10:12] ---**
Now you've done it!
**[10:15] ---**
Now innocent humans
throughout Tokyo's subways will die!
**[10:19] ---**
Because of *you*, Princess Mina!
**[10:22] ---**
What is this?
**[10:24] ---**
Chaff, I believe it's called.
**[10:27] ---**
Do not think lightly of
these scraps of aluminum foil.
**[10:30] ---**
They jam electrical signals
and block communications.
**[10:36] ---**
Do you think I dropped you in
here simply to take you by surprise?
**[10:41] ---**
This building has a 30-story-high ceiling.
**[10:44] ---**
In other words, it is a giant box.
**[10:46] ---**
The inside of this box is filled
**[10:47] ---**
with large amounts of
signal-disrupting materials
**[10:50] ---**
and interference from every
type of jamming device there is.
**[10:54] ---**
No signals of any wavelength
will leak out of here.
**[10:59] ---**
Not even your cell phone's signal, Hysterica.
**[11:03] ---**
The hunt is on, knights of mine...
**[11:15] ---**
Toranomon, clear!
**[11:17] ---**
Otemachi B, clear!
**[11:18] ---**
Wipe them out! Miss even one and we lose!
**[11:24] ---**
You lose, Hysterica.
**[11:26] ---**
Just to let you know, every exit
in this building is securely sealed.
**[11:31] ---**
The only way out is...
**[11:37] ---**
You're not going anywhere, Hysterica!
**[11:42] ---**
Do you hear me, piglet?!
**[11:44] ---**
You haven't kicked the bucket yet, have you?!
**[11:48] ---**
Get to the roof! Use your
phone to send the order!
**[11:52] ---**
I promised you, piglet!
**[11:55] ---**
I promised to free you if
you came through in a pinch!
**[11:57] ---**
You'll get to be with that boy!
**[12:04] ---**
Yuzuru... Yuzuru...
**[12:10] ---**
Nanami! Wait!
**[12:20] ---**
Your jamming can't stop my direct transmissions!
**[12:25] ---**
I doubt even you can escape unscathed
from explosions at point-blank range!
**[12:32] ---**
Go ahead, try something.
I'll blow you to the moon.
**[12:35] ---**
I only need to make sure your torso is left.
**[12:38] ---**
It'll make it nice and easy to haul you back.
**[12:40] ---**
Princess!
**[12:46] ---**
You're dealing with *me*, Veratos!
**[12:51] ---**
I'm not how I used to be!
I'll prove it to you personally!
**[12:59] ---**
This is Alpha Team! Two targets on the run!
**[13:09] ---**
Target B clear! Where's the other one?!
**[13:11] ---**
I'm in pursuit!
**[13:17] ---**
Stop!
**[13:18] ---**
Hiko?!
**[13:19] ---**
Akira! Kill him!
**[13:21] ---**
Wait! Hiko! Wait!
**[13:26] ---**
Yuzuru... Yuzuru...
**[13:32] ---**
Sister...
**[13:33] ---**
Yuzuru... Yuzuru...
**[13:37] ---**
Yuzuru!
**[13:40] ---**
Come to me...
**[13:43] ---**
Listen, Yuzuru. You're her last hope.
**[13:47] ---**
A master's control is extremely
powerful. Disobeying is impossible.
**[13:52] ---**
But for a vampire, resisting
an obsession is even harder.
**[13:58] ---**
What is Nanami's obsession?
**[14:02] ---**
Me?
**[14:03] ---**
Yes. Her obsession with you...
**[14:07] ---**
The stronger it is, the better our
chances of pulling her to our side.
**[14:13] ---**
The void between duty and
instinct. That's where we'll aim.
**[14:18] ---**
Sister. Come to me. Come...
**[14:28] ---**
What are you standing around for?! Get moving!
**[14:31] ---**
No, Sister!
**[14:33] ---**
Look at me! You want me, don't you?!
**[14:35] ---**
I'll be yours!
**[14:37] ---**
So come to me!
**[14:55] ---**
Sister...
**[14:57] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[14:59] ---**
Hiko!
**[15:04] ---**
Hiko! Hiko!
**[15:21] ---**
Everyone! Move to the back of the train!
**[15:31] ---**
Kaburagi...
**[15:33] ---**
Hiko... You're faster than
I thought! I really had to run there!
**[15:39] ---**
It's okay now. Don't worry. I won't do anything.
**[15:43] ---**
Just come here, okay?
**[15:45] ---**
No... It's too late...
I didn't understand things at all...
**[15:51] ---**
Nothing... Nothing changed at all...
**[15:54] ---**
Hiko?
**[15:55] ---**
The weak stay weak...
**[15:58] ---**
The strong step all over them,
use them up, then throw them away...
**[16:02] ---**
I can't bear doing this
forever... I can't go on...
**[16:07] ---**
Don't say that, Hiko! There
are plenty of other ways to live!
**[16:11] ---**
I'm here for you! Let's find a way together!
**[16:14] ---**
I... should've talked to you more...
**[16:18] ---**
If I had, I'm sure I...
**[16:20] ---**
It's not too late! It's not too late, Hiko!
**[16:23] ---**
Thank you, Akira...
**[16:25] ---**
Don't do it!
**[16:39] ---**
*Eternity...*
**[16:41] ---**
*Eternity is like a large, never-ending river.*
**[16:45] ---**
*Unless you have something to hold on to,*
**[16:47] ---**
*you'll easily be washed away and drown.*
**[17:02] ---**
Oh no!
**[17:06] ---**
Vera!
**[17:10] ---**
Vera!
**[17:21] ---**
Oh, my.
**[17:23] ---**
This is an unexpected end.
**[17:26] ---**
I guess it's only fitting for her, though.
**[17:29] ---**
Being killed by the one you love...
You can't ask for anything more.
**[17:34] ---**
Don't cry, little piglet.
I'll send him after you soon enough.
**[17:40] ---**
You won't die in peace, little boy!
**[17:48] ---**
Who--?!
**[17:49] ---**
Who are you?!
**[17:51] ---**
Are you Princess Mina?!
**[17:55] ---**
I see! So that's your transformation, huh?!
**[17:59] ---**
This is great! What will the Three
Clans say when they hear about this?!
**[18:05] ---**
Things are about to get ugly!
**[18:07] ---**
Do you really think I let
those who see this form live?
**[18:11] ---**
In that case... what do you think of this?!
**[18:18] ---**
Oh, look! The dear children are falling!
**[18:31] ---**
Not bad.
**[18:33] ---**
You not only dutifully saved a
human brat, but the corpse of a girl too.
**[18:38] ---**
You really are a nice princess.
**[18:41] ---**
You're really something.
**[18:43] ---**
Don't you get it? Once
I enter the detonation code,
**[18:46] ---**
they--and you--will be blown sky-high!
**[18:49] ---**
There's still time, though.
**[18:51] ---**
It's simple. Drop the boy
and the corpse and kill me.
**[18:56] ---**
Can you do it? You can't, can you?
**[19:00] ---**
I thought not.
**[19:03] ---**
You disappoint me.
**[19:05] ---**
You can't be our ruler--the
ruler of the new world--after all!
**[19:09] ---**
So you *are* with Telomere...!
**[19:12] ---**
I win, Princess.
**[19:14] ---**
Now you will live for eternity
as a slave of the Three Clans!
**[19:18] ---**
I have some interesting information for you!
**[19:21] ---**
A big secret about Princess Mina!
**[19:23] ---**
Hi, Hysterica! What are you so excited about?
**[19:26] ---**
Wh-Why are *you*--?!
**[19:32] ---**
You're... alive...
**[19:34] ---**
How... How dare you attack your own master...
**[19:38] ---**
You are no longer her master.
**[19:41] ---**
That stake was just like this building: hollow.
**[19:46] ---**
Inside it was a DNA culture
extracted from my bodily fluids.
**[19:51] ---**
You... took over her...
**[19:53] ---**
I beat you at your own game.
Nanami is now under my control.
**[19:58] ---**
Hysterica.
**[20:00] ---**
You should've blown Nanami
and me up the first chance you had.
**[20:05] ---**
But your ego led you to
do things in the wrong order.
**[20:11] ---**
I win.
**[20:15] ---**
You said you were fighting *me*, Francesca!
**[20:23] ---**
You lied...
**[20:25] ---**
You said we would always be together...
**[20:30] ---**
Fran...
**[20:33] ---**
Princess...
**[20:37] ---**
Vera...
**[20:39] ---**
It was I who made Francesca a vampire.
**[20:42] ---**
I couldn't bear to watch her die
**[20:44] ---**
after she'd already lost
her family to the Spanish flu...
**[20:47] ---**
It's all over now.
**[20:52] ---**
Nanami. Will you join me?
**[20:54] ---**
Yes. I will do as you say.
**[20:57] ---**
Once you enter the bund,
you'll never see Yuzuru again.
**[21:01] ---**
Can you live with that?
**[21:05] ---**
Vera.
**[21:06] ---**
Yes?
**[21:07] ---**
Have you ever regretted becoming a vampire?
**[21:10] ---**
No. Not even once.
**[21:22] ---**
Princess!
**[21:23] ---**
Akira! Are you all right?!
**[21:25] ---**
What happened with the class president?
**[21:33] ---**
*Eternity...*
**[21:35] ---**
*Eternity is like a large, never-ending river.*
**[21:40] ---**
*Unless you have something to hold on to,*
**[21:42] ---**
*you'll easily be washed away.*
**[21:46] ---**
I see. So you managed to save her?
**[21:51] ---**
I was no good. I couldn't save him...
**[21:58] ---**
Grow strong, Akira. It needn't be right now.
**[22:02] ---**
Slowly, over time...
**[22:10] ---**
It seems there was some commotion over in Tokyo.
**[22:14] ---**
Yes. It was nice and all
that she built a special zone
**[22:17] ---**
in the corner of a small
island country in the Orient,
**[22:20] ---**
but it means nothing if she can't regulate it.
**[22:22] ---**
She is only playing war
with a toy castle anyway.
**[22:27] ---**
My peers.
**[22:28] ---**
It is a little early, but what do
you say we pay a courtesy visit
**[22:34] ---**
to our wife-to-be?
**[23:17] ---**
Dance with the Vampire Maids
**[23:17] ---**
On his 17th birthday, wolf boy Akira has a fated reunion.
**[23:23] ---**
Who are you?
**[23:25] ---**
It's good to see you again, Akira.
**[23:27] ---**
I don't know you!
**[23:28] ---**
You lie. You couldn't
possibly forget these fingers...
**[23:32] ---**
Stop...
**[23:33] ---**
A torrent of unbridled pathos...
**[23:36] ---**
Their requiem as they
fall into the abyss of love...
**[23:39] ---**
A forbidden story for
young adults, by Yuki Saegusa!
**[23:43] ---**
The Rose and the Wolf! On sale soon!
**[23:45] ---**
There's no such book!
**[23:46] ---**
I want to read it!

**[00:21] ---**
I'll protect you...
**[00:34] ---**
Princess!
**[00:53] ---**
This... can't be...
**[00:55] ---**
I'm going to kill you...
**[01:01] ---**
I'm going to kill you...
**[01:09] ---**
What was that?!
**[01:11] ---**
Did you have a bad dream?
**[01:13] ---**
No, it was--
**[01:14] ---**
Wait! What are you doing?!
**[01:16] ---**
I've been so busy that we
haven't been able to talk,
**[01:20] ---**
so I went out of my way to see you.
**[01:22] ---**
But you had the nerve to be asleep,
**[01:27] ---**
so I decided I would watch and admire.
**[01:30] ---**
Watching me sleep is fun?
**[01:33] ---**
Yes. It is!
**[01:35] ---**
You've grown a lot, but when you sleep
**[01:38] ---**
you still look the same as you
did when we first met long ago.
**[01:44] ---**
Say, Princess. You know those
flowers blooming in that greenhouse?
**[01:50] ---**
Cleomes.
**[01:51] ---**
I had a splendid flower
garden in my secret place.
**[01:55] ---**
The flowers in the greenhouse
were transplanted from there.
**[01:59] ---**
Cleomes...
**[02:01] ---**
Tell me, Akira. Are you free this weekend?
**[02:04] ---**
Why?
**[02:06] ---**
Well, umm... The bund is
finally getting underway and all.
**[02:11] ---**
I should be able to take a few days off now.
**[02:16] ---**
Won't you come see them with me?
**[02:19] ---**
Sure, sounds-- Wait!
**[02:21] ---**
Sorry, I can't this weekend!
**[02:24] ---**
What?!
**[02:25] ---**
N-Next week, I promise!
I'll go wherever you want!
**[02:29] ---**
You really promise?
**[02:31] ---**
Yeah.
**[02:47] ---**
*The day we exchanged a kiss*
**[02:53] ---**
*I wasn't even able to see my mother's face*
**[02:59] ---**
*We gathered up the coins in our pockets*
**[03:04] ---**
*and counted our dreams one by one*
**[03:11] ---**
*Look, there's their secret hideout*
**[03:18] ---**
*their secret memories, oh*
**[03:23] ---**
*Where did it fall apart, oh friends*
**[03:29] ---**
*When we gazed at each other on downcast days*
**[03:35] ---**
*and held hands, oh friends*
**[03:41] ---**
*it felt like time had stopped*
**[04:07] ---**
*It happened on a peaceful afternoon
after the terrorism turmoil had ended*
**[04:11] ---**
*and everything appeared to
have calmed down in the bund...*
**[04:17] ---**
Not too shabby, is it?
**[04:19] ---**
But is it really okay for us to join you?
**[04:23] ---**
The princess has told us to act as her friends
**[04:26] ---**
when not on duty, so it's no problem at all.
**[04:30] ---**
*Class President Shinonome
started living with Yuzuru in the bund*
**[04:34] ---**
*and started working for Princess Mina as a maid.*
**[04:37] ---**
*She was also able to return to the academy.*
**[04:42] ---**
Are you accustomed to it now, Yuzuru?
**[04:44] ---**
Yes. I'm very grateful to you and Akira.
**[04:49] ---**
Thanks to you, we're...
**[04:53] ---**
How passionate! It's almost hard to watch!
**[04:56] ---**
*We started to believe that
peaceful life had finally returned...*
**[05:02] ---**
Where *is* Akira, anyway?
**[05:05] ---**
He apparently left to take care of something.
**[05:08] ---**
He even turned down my invitation.
**[05:12] ---**
*But the tale took a cruel new turn...*
**[05:16] ---**
Forget about that loner!
**[05:19] ---**
Let's have a lot of fun today!
**[05:21] ---**
Yeah!
**[05:23] ---**
*The events that unfolded between
then and the following morning*
**[05:27] ---**
*would become unforgettable wounds
for me, Princess Mina, and Akira...*
**[05:36] ---**
Still...
**[05:40] ---**
It was just like you to come here
obediently when I called you, Akira!
**[05:46] ---**
You're the one who told me
to come, saying I owe you a lot.
**[05:52] ---**
So, you felt indebted to me?
**[05:55] ---**
I guess.
**[05:56] ---**
Plus, there's a lot I want to ask you anyway.
**[06:00] ---**
From the top, 83, 58, 85.
**[06:06] ---**
Huh?!
**[06:09] ---**
I also happen to be a virgin.
**[06:11] ---**
Virg--?!
**[06:12] ---**
You don't believe me? How unexpected.
**[06:15] ---**
Want to see for yourself then?
**[06:18] ---**
Sh-Shut up! It's the
middle of the day, you know!
**[06:21] ---**
Night would be better for you? Pervert!
**[06:23] ---**
Who're you calling--?!
**[06:28] ---**
Good?
**[06:29] ---**
Why, you!
**[06:34] ---**
Catch me if you can!
**[06:36] ---**
Dammit!
**[06:49] ---**
This feels great! Why don't you join me, Akira?
**[06:52] ---**
Man...
**[06:56] ---**
Looks like I win our game of tag.
**[06:59] ---**
Whatever.
**[07:02] ---**
Mei Ren! You're...!
**[07:04] ---**
Huh?
**[07:05] ---**
Whoops...
**[07:13] ---**
You idiot. Why aren't you
wearing anything underneath?!
**[07:16] ---**
You can see right through it!
**[07:19] ---**
You caught me.
**[07:20] ---**
Just be quiet.
**[07:26] ---**
Geez. Don't you have any sense of decency?
**[07:31] ---**
I didn't expect to get yelled
at for giving away a little peek.
**[07:35] ---**
Oh! Or were you jealous of
other guys getting a look-see?
**[07:41] ---**
I think you've toyed with me enough now.
**[07:44] ---**
Let's get down to business.
**[07:46] ---**
That's something someone
accustomed to being teased would say.
**[07:50] ---**
Shut up, will you?
**[07:56] ---**
These flowers...
**[08:00] ---**
I recognize them. Cleomes.
**[08:03] ---**
They bloom from evening to
late night during the summer.
**[08:06] ---**
They bloom at night?
**[08:14] ---**
These flowers have another name, actually.
**[08:18] ---**
Don't they look like something?
**[08:26] ---**
They look like flowers
with butterflies on them...
**[08:29] ---**
That's why they're called Butterfly Flowers.
**[08:34] ---**
There's a sad legend about them.
**[08:39] ---**
There was once a butterfly.
**[08:42] ---**
One day, the butterfly
found a very beautiful butterfly
**[08:46] ---**
and fell in love.
**[08:49] ---**
But the butterfly he loved
**[08:52] ---**
remained perfectly still on a
flower, not even moving an inch.
**[08:56] ---**
Even so, he continued to woo it day and night,
**[09:00] ---**
while his life slowly slipped away.
**[09:03] ---**
Even when it eventually ran
out of strength, fell to the ground,
**[09:08] ---**
and its beautiful wings fluttered in the wind,
**[09:11] ---**
it still looked like a butterfly,
though it wasn't a butterfly at all.
**[09:15] ---**
It was a flower that simply stood
there, its petals swaying in the breeze.
**[09:22] ---**
*A Butterfly Flower, huh...
That almost reminds me of...*
**[09:26] ---**
Are you enjoying yourself?
**[09:28] ---**
Yes!
**[09:29] ---**
I know it's too much to ask,
**[09:31] ---**
but it would be even
nicer if we were in the sun!
**[09:34] ---**
That isn't too much to ask.
**[09:36] ---**
This building was built to
allow sunbathing in any room at all!
**[09:43] ---**
Don't tease me like that!
**[09:46] ---**
Stop!
**[09:57] ---**
Wow. Does becoming a vampire
make everyone more curvy?
**[10:02] ---**
Is that some sort of remark about me?
**[10:05] ---**
N-No! When you're transformed you're--!
**[10:10] ---**
I asked you never to speak of that.
**[10:15] ---**
I have remained in this form for a long time.
**[10:19] ---**
As a result, that lousy Akira
sometimes treats me like a child
**[10:22] ---**
even though he knows I'm not.
**[10:26] ---**
That loner doesn't
understand a girl's mind at all.
**[10:31] ---**
But surely someday you'll--?
**[10:33] ---**
Yes.
**[10:35] ---**
I sometimes dream about it.
**[10:37] ---**
I dream of being a size that matches him
**[10:41] ---**
and of us loving each other
and embracing each other.
**[10:45] ---**
But, although I am sometimes
grateful for this body, never do I detest it.
**[10:51] ---**
Because my being like this
is what lets me be with Akira.
**[10:56] ---**
Princess...
**[11:00] ---**
What?!
**[11:02] ---**
Princess! An emergency
message from the Port Authority!
**[11:06] ---**
Three ships--the *Abokyu*,
the *Kremlin*, and the *Sanssouci*--
**[11:09] ---**
are approaching the bund!
**[11:14] ---**
I learned something today.
You really know a lot.
**[11:30] ---**
It was the favorite flower of the
person most important to me, you see...
**[11:35] ---**
But given that you didn't say
anything after seeing those flowers,
**[11:39] ---**
I guess your memory isn't fully back.
**[11:44] ---**
One reason I asked you here
**[11:47] ---**
was to see how much of your memory has returned.
**[11:50] ---**
Why?!
**[11:51] ---**
I can't say why. But when
you remember, blood *will* flow.
**[11:59] ---**
Mei Ren... Who are you?!
**[12:03] ---**
I told you before.
**[12:04] ---**
I don't believe that!
**[12:06] ---**
Then don't.
**[12:08] ---**
But I understand you more
than anyone else in the world.
**[12:13] ---**
More than any human...
**[12:15] ---**
More than any vampire...
**[12:17] ---**
I'm someone who understands you.
**[12:19] ---**
What are you--?
**[12:21] ---**
Very soon, you will be faced
with your greatest ordeal yet.
**[12:26] ---**
But I want you to survive, if possible.
**[12:32] ---**
So...
**[12:37] ---**
The Three Clans?
**[12:38] ---**
Yes.
**[12:40] ---**
Family lines of "true bloods."
**[12:43] ---**
Long ago, one hundred vampire clans
**[12:46] ---**
ruled the land and prospered far and wide.
**[12:50] ---**
Only three of those family lines remain...
**[12:53] ---**
Li, Ivanovic, and Rozenmann.
**[12:57] ---**
They are my blood relatives and my subjects.
**[13:01] ---**
And... my nemeses!
**[13:03] ---**
Nemeses?
**[13:04] ---**
An internal feud of sorts has
been going on for centuries now.
**[13:09] ---**
Because we live lengthy lives,
our quarrels do not easily abate.
**[13:15] ---**
What do you think of my fighting outfit?
**[13:19] ---**
Fighting?
**[13:20] ---**
Worry not. They have no
intention of harming me directly.
**[13:25] ---**
There is a reason they cannot.
**[13:27] ---**
That is the reason for the plotting,
the intimidation, the deception...
**[13:35] ---**
Another word for "ruler" is "trickster."
**[13:40] ---**
Then at least wait until Akira is back!
**[13:43] ---**
No!
**[13:44] ---**
I cannot let him get involved in this.
**[13:48] ---**
Why not? This is why he--
**[13:50] ---**
If he comes with me, he will learn my true form,
**[13:53] ---**
even if he doesn't want to.
**[13:57] ---**
Don't worry. I will not lose.
**[14:03] ---**
Princess...
**[14:09] ---**
What?!
**[14:10] ---**
She told me not to tell you. But...
**[14:16] ---**
This is the ordeal?
**[14:18] ---**
But you're going to go anyway, aren't you?
**[14:22] ---**
Yeah.
**[14:23] ---**
Tell me. Why are you always so fixated on her?
**[14:27] ---**
Because I made a promise.
**[14:28] ---**
Is that all?
**[14:30] ---**
No...
**[14:32] ---**
I see.
**[14:35] ---**
Don't forget.
**[14:36] ---**
No matter how much the butterfly wishes for it,
**[14:38] ---**
it can never be with the flower...
**[14:48] ---**
How good of you to come to my new home.
**[14:54] ---**
Please forgive our sudden, unannounced visit.
**[14:57] ---**
We so looked forward to being
invited to the housewarming party
**[15:03] ---**
that our impatience got the better of us.
**[15:06] ---**
My sincerest apologies.
**[15:08] ---**
It's been one troublesome
incident after the other, you see.
**[15:12] ---**
Telomere?
**[15:14] ---**
The world has been changing
**[15:16] ---**
while you glare at each other in
your castles where time has stopped.
**[15:22] ---**
Using those insects as
your excuse is ridiculous.
**[15:26] ---**
*I* think you are simply continuing
to ignore us, your guardians,
**[15:30] ---**
as you move things forward.
**[15:33] ---**
Oh? You're saying I should ask you
for permission for everything I do?
**[15:39] ---**
Though we are blood relatives,
we are still master and servant.
**[15:41] ---**
I ask that you do not interfere.
**[15:43] ---**
Enough of your impudence, girl!
**[15:46] ---**
Even if it is a direct true blood line,
**[15:48] ---**
the royal family's power means little now!
**[15:50] ---**
Your little act as ruler of the
vampires can no longer go on without us!
**[15:56] ---**
You're the ones who mean little now.
**[15:59] ---**
Then let me ask you this.
**[16:01] ---**
Why have you permitted this
to become the Tepeş royal castle
**[16:05] ---**
and allowed me to live here?
**[16:08] ---**
It is true that you have always
constrained me and stood in my way.
**[16:14] ---**
Yet, the castle was built.
**[16:16] ---**
Why was that?!
**[16:18] ---**
And now, I am here!
**[16:21] ---**
This, more than anything,
is proof of my rule over the vampires.
**[16:24] ---**
Absolutely no one can rule over me!
**[16:31] ---**
I see you've become quite the spitfire.
**[16:35] ---**
Yes. Perhaps no one here can control you.
**[16:41] ---**
But not even you can defy
the principles of our lineage.
**[16:46] ---**
You haven't forgotten, have you...
**[16:49] ---**
...wife-to-be?
**[16:52] ---**
What do you mean I can't?!
**[16:53] ---**
Direct orders from the princess herself.
**[16:56] ---**
Akira Kaburagi is not allowed on the island.
**[16:58] ---**
Urgh!
**[17:00] ---**
Talk about stubborn!
**[17:01] ---**
Then I'll just call someone--
**[17:16] ---**
Vera. What does he mean, "wife-to-be"?
**[17:19] ---**
Surely you haven't forgotten
**[17:23] ---**
the responsibility of the
head of the royal family?
**[17:27] ---**
We are duty-bound to partner
with a noble of the same blood
**[17:30] ---**
and produce a child to keep
the line of true blood intact.
**[17:35] ---**
We four are the only true vampires
left with blood from ancient times.
**[17:41] ---**
And the only one among us who
can carry a child is you, Princess Mina.
**[17:47] ---**
You will marry one of us and bear his child.
**[17:51] ---**
That is our lineage's
long-held responsibility and fate.
**[17:57] ---**
I am well aware of that.
**[17:59] ---**
Should I find a way for this
immature female body to bear a child,
**[18:06] ---**
I will gladly go forth and wed one of you.
**[18:10] ---**
So you have continually said.
**[18:13] ---**
All the while, we have continued
to circle around you in a deadlock.
**[18:18] ---**
But we've grown tired of that, you see.
**[18:21] ---**
So we decided to make a bet.
**[18:25] ---**
A bet?
**[18:28] ---**
We heard that you've had
a pup by your side lately.
**[18:34] ---**
Rumor has it you're quite fond of him indeed.
**[18:37] ---**
What of Akira?!
**[18:41] ---**
I'm told the dog is in
Corridor ♪4. Put us through.
**[18:45] ---**
I know you're watching.
**[18:52] ---**
Do you hear me, dog?
**[18:55] ---**
Immediately upon our arrival,
**[18:57] ---**
we each unleashed an assassin to hunt you down.
**[19:11] ---**
Our strongest and our
most vicious subordinates...
**[19:21] ---**
None of their prey has ever survived.
**[19:27] ---**
*Those voices! The Three Clans?!*
**[19:33] ---**
Yes, *you* are the target,
beloved wolf pup of the princess...
**[19:45] ---**
The master of the assassin who slays you by dawn
**[19:48] ---**
shall be the princess' husband.
**[19:52] ---**
Dog. You will take on this honorable role...
**[19:58] ---**
...and die.
**[19:59] ---**
Damn it!
**[20:05] ---**
Let the dog hunt begin!
**[20:17] ---**
Stop! Call back your assassins at once!
**[20:20] ---**
Why are you so upset? It's only a single dog.
**[20:23] ---**
He is not a dog! He is my--!
**[20:26] ---**
Your beloved?
**[20:37] ---**
He is but a werewolf.
**[20:40] ---**
You are completely separated by
status, lineage, and even lifespan.
**[20:45] ---**
Just like all the rest,
he is of the other world.
**[20:52] ---**
You need to realize that we
four are the only ones of this world.
**[20:56] ---**
Only we four live in the same world.
**[21:00] ---**
There is no other place for you.
**[21:07] ---**
*Akira...*
**[21:14] ---**
Don't forget.
**[21:16] ---**
No matter how much the butterfly wishes for it,
**[21:19] ---**
it can never be with the flower...
**[21:22] ---**
Don't let their words get
to you! Hang on, Princess!
**[21:41] ---**
If you've finished with your business,
perhaps you would take a break?
**[21:44] ---**
We're not finished.
**[21:57] ---**
*As I doze in the darkness, black shadows*
**[21:57] ---**
As per the ancient pact and the request of the Three Lords,
**[22:02] ---**
*dig their nails into soft skin*
**[22:03] ---**
we will now hold a purity inquiry!
**[22:08] ---**
*Drunk from pleasure, the ignorant ones rush*
**[22:18] ---**
*Sweet, unrestrained impulses*
**[22:24] ---**
*The pointlessness only incites them even more*
**[22:30] ---**
*Now dress up with the cloth that
swallows all the light of the night*
**[22:35] ---**
*and dance*
**[22:42] ---**
*Clumsy nails touch a heart about to break*
**[22:47] ---**
*and creep to the top of the throat*
**[22:53] ---**
*A world that needs protecting
and a purity I want to protect...*
**[22:59] ---**
*I'll bear the momentary pain*
**[23:04] ---**
*and then fall fettered again*
**[23:18] ---**
Dance with the Vampire Maids!
**[23:19] ---**
You're all worthless!!
**[23:20] ---**
Part 10!
**[23:21] ---**
You're weak! You can't
shine silverware like that!
**[23:24] ---**
R-Right!
**[23:25] ---**
Say "sir" before and after you reply!
**[23:27] ---**
Sir! Yes, sir!
**[23:28] ---**
What are you?!
**[23:30] ---**
A c-cute girl with glasses!
**[23:31] ---**
Is that all?
**[23:32] ---**
A cute girl with glasses and big boobs!
**[23:34] ---**
How old is your boyfriend?!
**[23:35] ---**
How old?!
**[23:36] ---**
Thirteen!
**[23:38] ---**
Call his name!
**[23:39] ---**
Yuzuru...
**[23:40] ---**
Louder!
**[23:41] ---**
A once-in-a-century catch!
**[23:43] ---**
The Maid Squad is unstoppable now!
**[23:44] ---**
Unstoppable?

**[00:28] ---**
Here she comes...!
**[00:33] ---**
Run!
**[00:46] ---**
Damn! This is insane!
**[00:57] ---**
You...!
**[01:02] ---**
As per the ancient pact and
the request of the Three Lords,
**[01:07] ---**
we will now hold a purity inquiry!
**[01:28] ---**
Wait!
**[01:29] ---**
There are still three years
left until the next inquiry!
**[01:34] ---**
Why are you doing this now?!
**[01:35] ---**
It's okay, Vera. I thought
these people might do this.
**[01:44] ---**
Do as you wish.
**[02:03] ---**
*kuchizuke o kawashita hi wa*
**[02:09] ---**
*mama no kao sae mo mirenakatta*
**[02:15] ---**

*yubi o tsunaidara oh friends*
**[02:57] ---**
*toki ga tomaru ki ga shita*
**[03:22] ---**
Then the stuff the Three Clans
guys said about being her husband...
**[03:27] ---**
It's true.
**[03:29] ---**
The princess *must* marry and
have a child with one of them
**[03:34] ---**
to preserve the royal family's bloodline.
**[03:37] ---**
Hold on. You didn't think you
could be with her forever, did you?
**[03:43] ---**
Well...
**[03:45] ---**
I thought so. It'll never happen.
**[03:48] ---**
You and the princess bear different karmas.
**[03:52] ---**
Your time together will not last forever.
**[03:58] ---**
What is she doing now?
**[04:00] ---**
She's fighting too.
**[04:03] ---**
It should be underway as we speak.
**[04:08] ---**
A purity inquiry?!
**[04:09] ---**
That's right.
**[04:12] ---**
It's to determine if her
body is pure and worthy enough
**[04:15] ---**
for her to be a royal mother.
**[04:17] ---**
You can't be serious!
**[04:19] ---**
This is basically a lynching.
**[04:22] ---**
It's an inquiry in name only;
it's really meant to tell the princess,
**[04:28] ---**
"You belong to us."
**[04:40] ---**
The Stigma spray. I'm putting up the top.
**[04:51] ---**
Why does the princess have to put up with this?!
**[04:55] ---**
Why do you want to know?
**[04:57] ---**
Please, tell me!
**[05:00] ---**
A long time ago, there was a
big civil war in the vampire society.
**[05:04] ---**
The Rozenmann, Li, and
Ivanovic clans arrogantly revolted
**[05:08] ---**
against the royal family,
which ruled over the clans.
**[05:12] ---**
In no time flat they drove out
the other clans and absorbed them.
**[05:16] ---**
Eventually, they invaded Tepeş territory.
**[05:19] ---**
After the castle was burned
and she was driven from her land,
**[05:22] ---**
Queen Lucrezia, the ruler at the
time, eventually died at their hands.
**[05:28] ---**
But not even they could afford
to end the line of true-bloods,
**[05:32] ---**
so the princess was permitted to live,
merely as a container of blood.
**[05:37] ---**
In exchange for her life, her
purity would be tested once a decade.
**[05:43] ---**
A long time has passed since then.
**[05:45] ---**
The development of the
artificial blood known as Stigma
**[05:48] ---**
freed us from our fates
of having to attack humans
**[05:51] ---**
and is changing our relationships with them.
**[05:55] ---**
Darkness and lightness that
were once separate are now mixing
**[05:59] ---**
in what is a new dawn--or a new twilight.
**[06:01] ---**
Although the confusion has
produced radical groups like Telomere
**[06:05] ---**
comprised of vampires and humans alike,
**[06:08] ---**
it also provided the momentum
for the princess to build this bund.
**[06:13] ---**
But she is constrained by
the Three Clans' old chains,
**[06:16] ---**
and at each inquiry they basically say,
**[06:20] ---**
"We'll recognize your title as ruler.
**[06:23] ---**
But someday your body *will* fall into our hands."
**[06:30] ---**
It's in this way that they
attempt to control her spirit as well.
**[06:36] ---**
Princess...
**[06:40] ---**
I let you see something unsightly. Forgive me.
**[06:44] ---**
This is what the ruler of
the vampires is really like.
**[06:48] ---**
Funny, isn't it?
**[06:49] ---**
This is... This is absolutely horrible!
**[06:52] ---**
I have to tell Akira--
**[06:53] ---**
No!
**[06:56] ---**
I do not want Akira to
know that I'm... like this...
**[07:03] ---**
I'm sure Akira can do something!
**[07:05] ---**
Do not be absurd.
**[07:07] ---**
He is not the type who
can solve things on his own.
**[07:10] ---**
Yes, he is!
**[07:13] ---**
After all... he thinks about
you more than anyone else!
**[07:22] ---**
Princess?
**[07:23] ---**
I remember the day I first met Akira.
**[07:28] ---**
That day seven years ago?
**[07:32] ---**
No, even ten years before that.
I met him just after he was born.
**[07:39] ---**
I had just undergone an inquiry then, too...
**[07:42] ---**
He was my salvation
when I was feeling all alone...
**[07:48] ---**
Akira... Akira...
**[07:51] ---**
Where are you? Please hurry and save me...
**[07:59] ---**
Whoever kills me wins the bet. Right?
**[08:03] ---**
No one's going to come
help you, just so you know.
**[08:05] ---**
That's fine with me.
**[08:06] ---**
If scheming, hate, and madness are
the chains holding the princess down,
**[08:11] ---**
then I'll break them all!
**[08:13] ---**
Careful, kid.
**[08:16] ---**
What you're saying sounds just like Telomere.
**[08:19] ---**
You saw something during
your mission one year ago.
**[08:25] ---**
There's one last piece that's
slipped from your memory, isn't there?
**[08:32] ---**
How do you know that?
**[08:34] ---**
Because you wouldn't be acting this way now
**[08:37] ---**
if you had your full memory back.
**[08:40] ---**
I might side with the Three Clans
**[08:43] ---**
depending on how you react
once you do get that piece back.
**[08:50] ---**
Then can I assume we won't
be enemies for the time being?
**[08:55] ---**
Yeah.
**[08:59] ---**
Then pass this message on to the princess:
**[09:01] ---**
"I won't die! I *will* return to
you alive! So stay strong too!"
**[09:10] ---**
I'll tell her.
**[09:13] ---**
I'm coming, Princess!
**[09:22] ---**
Here I go!
**[09:23] ---**
One! Two! Three! Four!
**[09:31] ---**
Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten!
**[09:35] ---**
Are you ready?!
**[09:37] ---**
Ready!
**[09:46] ---**
I see your form hasn't
changed from the old days.
**[09:50] ---**
Feeling sad for yourself is nice and all,
**[09:54] ---**
but don't forget that there is
someone out there shedding blood for you.
**[09:59] ---**
You met Akira?!
**[10:02] ---**
He has a message for you.
**[10:06] ---**
"I *will* return to you alive.
So stay strong too."
**[10:12] ---**
He'll return alive? You're sure he said that?!
**[10:16] ---**
He intends to defeat each
of the assassins sent after him.
**[10:21] ---**
He's barehanded, completely on his own,
**[10:24] ---**
and up against three
extremely skilled hired killers.
**[10:29] ---**
But I'm sure he'll fight anyway.
Entirely for you, Princess.
**[10:35] ---**
So, Akira wants me to stay strong...
**[10:40] ---**
He wants me to fight...
**[10:45] ---**
Yuki! Bring Vera here!
**[10:48] ---**
R-Right!
**[10:50] ---**
I needn't give my thanks.
**[10:57] ---**
Don't die, kid.
**[10:59] ---**
Sir Alphonse.
**[11:01] ---**
Laugh. I'm a child's messenger.
**[11:07] ---**
Telomere?
**[11:09] ---**
It seems they've secretly placed
some pieces into this game as well.
**[11:14] ---**
What did you say?
**[11:16] ---**
I said I will also participate
in your little wager.
**[11:21] ---**
I bet that Akira will survive
the battle and make it here.
**[11:26] ---**
I bet my body, my future,
and my entirety, of course.
**[11:33] ---**
This is a surprise!
**[11:35] ---**
The odds are stacked
against you, wouldn't you say?
**[11:40] ---**
Isn't that what makes a bet a bet?
**[11:44] ---**
Besides, he's fighting all alone.
**[11:46] ---**
I need to put just as much on the line too.
**[11:50] ---**
You said "entirety" just now.
**[11:52] ---**
Does that include your
true-blood legacy as well?
**[11:57] ---**
Ivanovic!
**[11:58] ---**
Well? Are you prepared to give that to us too?
**[12:02] ---**
*The true-blood legacy? What is he talking about?*
**[12:06] ---**
Answer me!
**[12:11] ---**
I said "entirety." Do you doubt me?
**[12:15] ---**
All right, then.
**[12:17] ---**
The stakes have just been raised.
**[12:20] ---**
The wolf pup and the absolutely
lethal net that we've woven...
**[12:25] ---**
Let us see if he can chew his way out of it...
**[12:36] ---**
Damn! I can't even get close to her!
**[12:41] ---**
Okay, here goes...
**[12:49] ---**
Wh-Why?!
**[12:56] ---**
*What's happened to me?!
Not at a time like this...!*
**[13:01] ---**
Listen, Akira Kaburagi.
I will give you a chance to survive.
**[13:07] ---**
One year ago, you went to
the ruins of the Tepeş royal castle
**[13:11] ---**
on a secret mission led by Wolfgang.
**[13:15] ---**
They say you discovered a grave
secret about the legacy of true-bloods.
**[13:21] ---**
What did you see?
**[13:26] ---**
Akira Kaburagi. What did you see?!
**[13:39] ---**
I guess you really are dumb!
**[13:44] ---**
Mei Ren...?
**[13:45] ---**
But that's what I love about you.
**[14:16] ---**
Vampires sure are tough...
**[14:20] ---**
Mei Ren! You're...!
**[14:29] ---**
That's one down...
**[14:45] ---**
Attention all citizens. This is
the Special Zone Government.
**[14:48] ---**
Hostile clan operatives have
infiltrated the special zone.
**[14:52] ---**
They aim to capture and kill Akira
Kaburagi, a servant of Princess Mina.
**[14:56] ---**
They are very likely
locked in combat as we speak.
**[14:59] ---**
All non-combatants,
please refrain from going outside
**[15:01] ---**
and remain on standby until further notice.
**[15:07] ---**
So you're just like us after all...
**[15:11] ---**
I suppose.
**[15:13] ---**
Apparently I'm a survivor of a race
destroyed during all the infighting.
**[15:18] ---**
Tell me, Akira.
**[15:20] ---**
Why did you let yourself get beat up
so badly? Why didn't you transform?
**[15:24] ---**
Because... I couldn't...
**[15:33] ---**
Damn! I can't do it...!
**[15:37] ---**
It must've been a real shock,
being betrayed by the princess.
**[15:42] ---**
Betrayed?!
**[15:44] ---**
Surely you were shocked.
Did you know she was engaged?
**[15:51] ---**
The body is honest. We beast-people
do reshape our bodies out of our will.
**[16:00] ---**
It's a sedative. It's a tad strong, though.
**[16:04] ---**
I don't feel betrayed at all!
**[16:07] ---**
The princess is fighting all alone!
**[16:10] ---**
Despite all the humiliation they've given her!
**[16:13] ---**
But that's because she's
the ruler of the vampires.
**[16:27] ---**
Come on, Akira. Stop fooling yourself.
**[16:31] ---**
You know it's true
**[16:34] ---**
that no matter how much
the butterfly wishes for it,
**[16:37] ---**
it can never be one with the flower...
**[16:41] ---**
Do you feel my heartbeat?
It goes "thump, thump."
**[16:47] ---**
It's the same heartbeat as yours...
**[16:50] ---**
Neither humans nor
vampires can truly understand us...
**[16:57] ---**
I'm the only one who can
truly understand and love you...
**[17:39] ---**
No!
**[17:44] ---**
Akira...
**[18:08] ---**
You're coming with me!
**[18:14] ---**
Akira!
**[18:25] ---**
Did that get her?
**[18:33] ---**
You're horrible, Akira...
**[18:37] ---**
You monster!
**[18:39] ---**
I was worried about you this whole time.
**[18:44] ---**
How can you call me a monster?
**[18:47] ---**
I'd say Princess Mina is the real monster.
**[18:51] ---**
Tell me. What did you see?
**[18:54] ---**
If you tell me, I'll let you do
*whatever* you want with this body!
**[19:03] ---**
Stop... Don't defile Yuki any more than that!
**[19:08] ---**
Don't be like that. Tell me... Akira!
**[19:15] ---**
What's wrong?! You're not going to answer?!
**[19:18] ---**
Even after you toyed with
me and then dumped me?!
**[19:27] ---**
Now tell me! What did you see?
**[19:34] ---**
I...
**[19:59] ---**
Akira...
**[20:06] ---**
Princess...?
**[20:10] ---**
It's okay.
**[20:11] ---**
It's okay now. I will allow it. Speak.
**[20:18] ---**
Yes. Speak... and be at peace...
**[20:24] ---**
Don't call my name...
**[20:27] ---**
...with that voice...
**[20:30] ---**
Wh-What is the matter, Akira?!
Do you not recognize me?!
**[20:35] ---**
Don't call my name...
**[20:37] ---**
with that voice...
**[20:39] ---**
and...
**[20:42] ---**
in that form...!
**[21:03] ---**
Akira... Don't die...
**[21:14] ---**
*Even with most of his memory back,*
**[21:17] ---**
*there was one incident Akira couldn't remember.*
**[21:22] ---**
*Neither Princess Mina nor I had
any way of knowing what it was.*
**[21:32] ---**
*At the time, all we could
do was pray for his safety...*
**[21:37] ---**
Prin... cess...
**[21:39] ---**
*...and wait for the
distant dawn to end the night.*
**[21:45] ---**
Princess...
**[21:57] ---**

Dance With the Vampire Maids!
**[23:20] ---**
Revenge Chapter!
**[23:22] ---**
Now Princess Mina is ours.
**[23:24] ---**
Whoa, spicy!
**[23:25] ---**
Oh, not to your liking?
**[23:28] ---**
Wh-what are you doing?!
**[23:30] ---**
I'm tending to your hair!
**[23:32] ---**
Let's make you nice and clean!
**[23:34] ---**
Cease this!
**[23:35] ---**
What do you take the Three Clans for?!
**[23:38] ---**
What are you three doing?!
**[23:40] ---**
Vera!
**[23:41] ---**
You need to give more oomph to it! Like this!
**[23:43] ---**
Okay!
**[23:44] ---**
The Tepeş family is scary...

**[00:18] ---**
Transylvania
**[00:19] ---**
One and a Half Years Ago
**[00:31] ---**
Tango Team is locked in combat on B3!
**[00:33] ---**
I can't see! What is--?!
**[00:36] ---**
Backup! Back--!
**[00:38] ---**
Respond, Tango Team! Respond!
**[00:41] ---**
This can't be happening... It's just me now?!
**[00:48] ---**
*Your mission is to seize
control of the facility below*
**[00:52] ---**
*without causing any damage whatsoever.*
**[00:55] ---**
*As per the ancient pact,
when you turn 17 next year,*
**[01:00] ---**
*you will become the princess'
vassal and serve by her side.*
**[01:05] ---**
*This mission will act as a litmus test
to determine if you're ready or not.*
**[01:10] ---**
*Do your utmost.*
**[01:16] ---**
What is this place?
**[01:28] ---**
Princess...?!
**[01:32] ---**
Don't tell me *all* of these are--?!
**[01:38] ---**
You've seen it. Poor boy.
**[01:49] ---**
I'm going to kill you...
**[01:51] ---**
I'm going to kill you!
**[02:44] ---**
That leaves just me and her...
**[02:55] ---**
He sounds like he's in pain...
**[02:57] ---**
Is it his ouchies?
**[02:59] ---**
He must be having a painful dream...
**[03:11] ---**
I'm going now, Princess.
**[03:27] ---**
*As I doze in the darkness, black shadows*
**[03:32] ---**
*dig their nails into soft skin*
**[03:38] ---**
*Drunk from pleasure, the ignorant ones rush*
**[03:49] ---**
*Sweet, unrestrained impulses*
**[03:54] ---**
*The pointlessness only incites them even more*
**[04:00] ---**
*Now dress up with the cloth that
swallows all the light of the night*
**[04:05] ---**
*and dance*
**[04:12] ---**
*Clumsy nails touch a heart about to break*
**[04:18] ---**
*and creep to the top of the throat*
**[04:23] ---**
*A world that needs protecting
and a purity I want to protect...*
**[04:28] ---**
*I'll bear the momentary pain*
**[04:34] ---**
*and then fall fettered again*
**[04:53] ---**
Thanks...
**[04:55] ---**
The kids were so excited, talking
about helping the princess' knight...
**[05:01] ---**
Mommy's a nurse!
**[05:03] ---**
Huh?
**[05:04] ---**
I work at a government healthcare clinic.
**[05:08] ---**
Sometimes werewolves
come in for treatment, so...
**[05:12] ---**
Hey. The princess is okay, right?
**[05:16] ---**
You gotta save her!
**[05:19] ---**
Three hours until dawn...
**[05:23] ---**
*Princess... Are you...?*
**[05:29] ---**
*You saw something during
your mission one year ago.*
**[05:35] ---**
*They say you discovered a grave
secret about the legacy of true-bloods.*
**[05:39] ---**
Guy...?
**[05:44] ---**
I better go. It's almost dawn.
**[05:47] ---**
This way!
**[05:52] ---**
*What is this...?*
**[05:58] ---**
Everyone here is a Fangless.
We live in this geofront beneath the bund.
**[06:03] ---**
Take this. It'll ease your hunger.
**[06:06] ---**
Be careful!
**[06:07] ---**
Don't die, now!
**[06:09] ---**
The princess gave hope to everyone here!
**[06:13] ---**
Good luck!
**[06:14] ---**
Don't let them beat you!
**[06:15] ---**
Come back alive! For the princess' sake too!
**[06:19] ---**
To remove our fangs and reject
attacking people is to choose isolation.
**[06:24] ---**
We had resigned ourselves to
the idea that that was our fate...
**[06:27] ---**
That we would never be human or vampire...
**[06:32] ---**
But when the princess first built the bund,
**[06:34] ---**
she gathered Fangless living
around the world in solitude,
**[06:39] ---**
created a family, and
gave us back the joy of living.
**[06:45] ---**
We owe the princess our all!
**[06:55] ---**
Guy...?
**[06:57] ---**
I will... I *will* return to the princess!
**[07:05] ---**
*This is what the princess built...*
**[07:14] ---**
*This is what she's trying to protect...*
**[07:18] ---**
I'm going now!
**[07:21] ---**
The cellular transformation
blockers haven't fully worn off yet.
**[07:26] ---**
Be careful.
**[07:36] ---**
Tell me.
**[07:38] ---**
What is this "legacy of the
true-bloods" Ivanovic's lot speaks of?
**[07:43] ---**
Do not feign ignorance with me!
**[07:45] ---**
We refrained from telling you
**[07:47] ---**
because we do not know
the full details ourselves.
**[07:51] ---**
Wolf!
**[07:53] ---**
I believe any further secrecy is meaningless.
**[08:08] ---**
Tell me. Why?
**[08:13] ---**
Cellular transformation
blockers are a type of drug
**[08:15] ---**
for temporarily suppressing cellular activity
**[08:18] ---**
when a beast-person is undergoing surgery.
**[08:22] ---**
It takes three hours for it to take effect.
**[08:24] ---**
Before this ridiculous game
of tag, the only thing I ate
**[08:28] ---**
was that piece of candy!
**[08:33] ---**
Why? Why did you do it? Why you?!
**[08:39] ---**
I've been waiting all this time, you see.
**[08:42] ---**
Waiting for the Three Clans and
Tepeş--the leaders of the vampire world--
**[08:49] ---**
to get together so I can
turn them all into ash at once.
**[08:52] ---**
For that person dear to me.
**[08:56] ---**
I don't mean Rozenmann, just so you know.
**[08:59] ---**
The person in that castle who
looked just like the princess?
**[09:03] ---**
It sounds like you've finally remembered...
**[09:07] ---**
During the operation one year ago,
Akira caught a glimpse of it.
**[09:12] ---**
Though he was seriously injured,
**[09:13] ---**
his memory loss was most likely self-induced.
**[09:19] ---**
Why? Is this "legacy" that serious?!
**[09:23] ---**
Only Akira would know that.
**[09:27] ---**
All we know is that it was
left behind by true-bloods.
**[09:31] ---**
That is all Rozenmann and the others know, too.
**[09:34] ---**
They believe the legacy is "true-blood blood."
**[09:38] ---**
True-blood blood?
**[09:40] ---**
Time has essentially stopped for us vampires.
**[09:43] ---**
We are cut off from
evolution. We are at a standstill.
**[09:46] ---**
Eventually we will turn to ash.
**[09:49] ---**
But with the true-blood legacy,
time will move forward,
**[09:53] ---**
thus providing a future.
**[09:59] ---**
So it *was* you who struck me down then...
**[10:04] ---**
Who is she?
**[10:06] ---**
She gave me a reason to live.
**[10:10] ---**
Just like me, she was treated
cruelly and had her existence erased.
**[10:14] ---**
But even so, she fervently tries to live.
**[10:16] ---**
She is *my* princess...
**[10:24] ---**
Come, Mei Ren.
**[10:27] ---**
That is your name. Adorable, don't you think?
**[10:32] ---**
She gave me everything.
**[10:36] ---**
She gave me a name,
freedom, and a reason to live.
**[10:38] ---**
Me, a rare member of the endangered Forest Clan
**[10:41] ---**
that had been raised as a pet...
**[10:44] ---**
I will do whatever it takes to
open the door to the new world...
**[10:49] ---**
And then I will make her
the queen of the new world,
**[10:51] ---**
one that all--humans and
vampires alike--will bow to!
**[10:57] ---**
Mei Ren! You're with...
**[11:00] ---**
...Telomere!
**[11:03] ---**
So you bastards were
involved from the very start?
**[11:07] ---**
We can't let *you* people have
the true-blood legacy, after all.
**[11:11] ---**
Tell me. Is this "legacy" all those
things that looked like the princess?
**[11:16] ---**
Or is it that blood-like stuff?
**[11:19] ---**
Both, you could probably say.
**[11:22] ---**
Both are needed to obtain a future.
**[11:25] ---**
That true-blood blood, and...
**[11:28] ---**
...either your princess or mine!
**[11:45] ---**
Say, don't you feel perturbed?
**[11:47] ---**
After seeing all those Minas, you're not worried
**[11:51] ---**
that your own dear princess
might be one of them?!
**[12:04] ---**
That's nothing but--!
**[12:05] ---**
A joke.
**[12:07] ---**
Everyone from Gilgamesh
to Emperor Qin Shi Huang...
**[12:10] ---**
Those with power ultimately
end up on a treasure hunt
**[12:14] ---**
centered around their own lifespan.
**[12:17] ---**
I can't believe myself.
**[12:19] ---**
Princess?
**[12:20] ---**
I've been led astray by this talk of a legacy.
**[12:25] ---**
Even when I knew that Akira's promise to me
**[12:29] ---**
means it won't ever fall into
their hands, whatever it may be.
**[12:35] ---**
You said before we're the only ones
who can truly understand each other.
**[12:41] ---**
It's true that we're a lot alike.
**[12:44] ---**
Then you understand that for me,
the princess I made a promise to
**[12:48] ---**
is the only princess there is!
**[12:51] ---**
Say, Akira... Loving someone tends
to make you crazy, you know that?
**[12:58] ---**
Yes. Both you and I are crazy.
**[13:03] ---**
Butterflies, in love with flowers,
**[13:05] ---**
willing to sacrifice mind,
body, and every drop of blood
**[13:09] ---**
without any regrets!
**[13:13] ---**
This is "Agni's Blood,"
modified for beast-people.
**[13:16] ---**
Try to take it out and...
**[13:20] ---**
You...!
**[13:20] ---**
Don't worry. I won't die alone.
**[13:23] ---**
Because your princess will
be right there when it explodes!
**[13:29] ---**
Now, let's have our last dance.
**[13:33] ---**
For the true ruler to whom a future belongs...
**[13:36] ---**
For your princess or my dear person!
**[13:46] ---**
I was actually pretty fond of you, you know...
**[14:16] ---**
*It's almost daybreak...*
**[14:29] ---**
Akira?!
**[14:34] ---**
Akira!
**[14:35] ---**
They're the only ones still alive?!
**[14:37] ---**
My word!
**[14:39] ---**
This is an incredible show.
**[14:42] ---**
Wouldn't you agree, Princess?
**[15:15] ---**
No!
**[15:26] ---**
It's over, Akira...
**[15:29] ---**
Damn... It's all over...
**[15:31] ---**
Akira...
**[15:32] ---**
Please... Princess...!
**[15:35] ---**
Do not look away!
**[15:38] ---**
Akira said he would win!
**[15:41] ---**
He said he would return to me!
**[15:44] ---**
He keeps his promises, even to the death!
**[15:49] ---**
Stand up, Akira! I am here!
**[15:52] ---**
Your Mina is right here!
**[15:58] ---**
Princess...
**[16:04] ---**
I'm sorry... for making you... cry again...
**[16:14] ---**
*Hang on...*
**[16:16] ---**
*I'm coming...*
**[16:21] ---**
Tell me, Akira.
**[16:23] ---**
Why do you suppose our princesses...
**[16:27] ---**
...weren't alone?
**[16:55] ---**
You... win...
**[17:01] ---**
But I'm a little happy...
**[17:04] ---**
I never thought I would die...
with someone holding me...
**[17:20] ---**
Akira...
**[17:22] ---**
My word...
**[17:25] ---**
The match is over.
**[17:27] ---**
I call foul! This match was nothing but a joke!
**[17:31] ---**
Deplorable! And you call yourself
a descendant of true-blood nobles?!
**[17:39] ---**
Don't give us that nonsense, you lowly wretch!
**[17:41] ---**
Sir Wolf!
**[17:50] ---**
You deceived us, girl!
**[17:54] ---**
But do you really think such a small force
**[17:57] ---**
can frighten the heads of the Three Clans?
**[18:07] ---**
Sunlight?!
**[18:09] ---**
Where did it come from?!
**[18:10] ---**
The entire interior of this
building contains optical fiber,
**[18:13] ---**
allowing sunlight from the
outside to be re-emitted inside
**[18:16] ---**
whenever and wherever we want.
**[18:19] ---**
We can even flood this entire room
with sunlight right now if need be.
**[18:24] ---**
You're bluffing! Do that and
you'll harm your own master too!
**[18:33] ---**
I am a ruler.
**[18:34] ---**
I rule half of the world--the world of darkness.
**[18:38] ---**
I was raised as such
**[18:40] ---**
and built a throne of blood to be as such.
**[18:44] ---**
If you insist that I continue to kneel to you,
**[18:47] ---**
then I shall turn us *all
*into ash and end us all!
**[18:52] ---**
Choose!
**[18:53] ---**
Die with me here and now,
or kneel before me as your ruler!
**[19:07] ---**
For long you served as my
guardians. You have my gratitude.
**[19:11] ---**
You will now return to your domains
and focus on your domestic affairs.
**[19:51] ---**
Akira!
**[19:54] ---**
Akira... Akira... Akira!
**[20:13] ---**
Smile...
**[20:18] ---**
That's why I...
**[20:28] ---**
Yes, that's it... That's exactly... why I...
**[20:41] ---**
Three howls for the warrior!
**[20:54] ---**
I see.
**[20:56] ---**
Thank you. Have pleasant dreams, Mei Ren...
**[21:04] ---**
This double of mine whom Mei Ren served...
**[21:10] ---**
Who do you suppose she is?
**[21:13] ---**
Does it worry you?
**[21:14] ---**
Most likely she and I will be
forced to face each other someday.
**[21:20] ---**
And then much blood will probably be shed...
**[21:24] ---**
Is your arm all right?
**[21:27] ---**
Yeah. Luckily they managed to
reattach it. There's almost no pain now.
**[21:34] ---**
I see...
**[21:36] ---**
But it's a real shock,
**[21:37] ---**
there being something like this
in the bottom area of the bund...
**[21:40] ---**
I call it the Cradle.
**[21:43] ---**
A cradle for eternal napping,
**[21:45] ---**
away from the bustle of
everyone and everything living life.
**[21:54] ---**
A butterfly...
**[21:55] ---**
Akira...
**[21:57] ---**
That day seven years ago...
You gave me my wish...
**[22:03] ---**
Now it's my turn to hear your wish.
**[22:13] ---**
Be by my side, Princess.
**[22:16] ---**
Always stay by my side,
until I give my last breath...
**[22:22] ---**
Are you sure? I might not
be the only ruler out there.
**[22:29] ---**
For me, you're the only princess there is.
**[22:32] ---**
In that case, I swear to you here and now
**[22:35] ---**
that until either you or I pass on,
my life will always be with you.
**[22:43] ---**
This might only be a mere
moment amid an eternity,
**[22:48] ---**
but this pledge will last forever.
**[22:55] ---**
*The boy promised the ruler of
monsters they would always be together,*
**[23:00] ---**
*and she in turn swore to him
that she would always be by his side.*
**[23:06] ---**
Will you dance with me, Akira?
**[23:09] ---**
Yes.
**[23:14] ---**
*And that pledge would remain unbroken...*
**[23:21] ---**
*...for the rest of their story.*
**[23:32] ---**
*It was the story of a pledge.*
**[23:36] ---**
*A tale of the great ruler of monsters,
the boy who gave his all to her,*
**[23:42] ---**
*and the eternal bond they shared...*
**[23:48] ---**
I can’t find it.
**[23:49] ---**
Where did that dumb wolf drop it?
**[23:52] ---**
Ready to acknowledge him a little now?
**[23:54] ---**
A little! Only a little!
**[23:57] ---**
I found it!
**[23:58] ---**
Huh? Where?
**[23:59] ---**
Wait, where did you get that?!
**[24:01] ---**
A rat gnawed on it.
**[24:03] ---**
Oh, it’s all gunky now.
**[24:04] ---**
Don’t worry! We can blow it off!
**[24:07] ---**
It’s not a piece of candy we dropped!
**[24:10] ---**
Vampire Hospital -- Open 24 hours
**[24:10] ---**
Looks like your arm has reattached, Akira.
**[24:13] ---**
Yeah, it’s A-OK now.
**[24:15] ---**
You should be grateful. The
maids looked for it for you.
**[24:19] ---**
Oh? I guess they’re not so bad after all.
**[24:20] ---**
I’ll kill you if you make the princess cry
**[24:25] ---**
Ready?!
**[24:26] ---**
Nero! Hurry! Hurry!
**[24:28] ---**
Wait!
**[24:30] ---**
Ready… go!
**[24:32] ---**
Dance With the Vampire Maids!
**[24:34] ---**
…is now over!
**[24:36] ---**
Bye!
**[24:38] ---**
Rock… paper…
**[24:39] ---**
Knock that off, will ya?!
**[24:41] ---**
THE END
