[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
[22:07] ---
    Drunk from pleasure, the ignorant ones rush
[22:19] ---
    Sweet, unrestrained impulses
[22:25] ---
    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 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?!
[23:45] ---
