**[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] ---**
