**[00:01] Shintaro**
It's gotten pretty late.
**[00:04] Towa**
But I got to see many new
sights, so I had lots of fun.
**[00:08] Towa**
And the fruit sandwiches
and dango were delicious.
**[00:11] Shintaro**
Yeah? I'm happy for you.
**[00:13] Towa**
What would you like for
dinner, Shintaro-sama?
**[00:16] Shintaro**
Oh... Why don't we grab some
convenience store meals for tonight?
**[00:20] Shintaro**
I'd feel bad asking you to cook this late.
**[00:23] Towa**
Sure.
**[00:32] Towa**
I'll get some hot tea ready in a moment.
**[00:35] Shintaro**
Sounds good, thanks.
**[00:40] Towa**
Someone's sitting outside...
**[00:47] Mari**
Where've you been, Shin-chan?!
**[00:49] Shintaro**
Huh?
**[00:50] Shintaro**
Mari-chan?!
***SIGN*** Studio Apartment, Good Lighting, Angel Included
**[02:30] Mari**
Yum!
**[02:31] Mari**
This pork rib meal is so good!
**[02:33] Mari**
I can feel it bringing me back to life!
**[02:36] Mari**
Delicious!
**[02:38] Shintaro**
* She stole the meals so*
* naturally. What the heck?*
**[02:43] Mari**
Sorry I couldn't come check on you, Shin-chan.
**[02:47] Mari**
I seriously haven't been able to step outside.
**[02:50] Shintaro**
You never do while you're working.
**[02:53] Mari**
Right! The more seriously I take work,
the more of a shut-in I become!
**[02:59] Mari**
I draw every second outside of food and
bath time, but I still don't get any—
**[03:04] Towa**
Here you are.
**[03:05] Mari**
Thanks.
**[03:08] Towa**
Um, Shintaro-sama?
**[03:10] Shintaro**
Oh, Mari-chan's my aunt.
**[03:13] Shintaro**
She owns this apartment.
**[03:14] Mari**
I'm Shin-chan's dad's little sister!
I write manga for a living!
**[03:19] Shintaro**
She's a manga artist.
**[03:20] Mari**
That.
**[03:24] Mari**
Yeet!
**[03:25] Shintaro**
Are you drunk?!
**[03:26] Mari**
Nope! I'm just tired as hell!
***SIGN*** Note: She's undergone special training to withstand this.
Please do not try this at home.
**[03:30] Mari**
I haven't slept for 72 hours!
**[03:34] Towa**
So, what's a "manga artist"?
**[03:36] Mari**
Huh? You don't know?
**[03:39] Mari**
Sheltered rich girl?
**[03:40] Shintaro**
Uh...
**[03:41] Shintaro**
She writes stuff like this.
**[03:43] Towa**
She's an author?
**[03:45] Mari**
Hey, that's not one of my works.
**[03:49] Shintaro**
I don't own anything you've put out.
**[03:52] Mari**
Why? They're your aunt's works!
**[03:54] Mari**
Be first in line to buy them!
**[03:56] Shintaro**
I can't read them. The fact that you
wrote all that ruins my immersion.
**[04:01] Mari**
Then forget it!
**[04:02] Mari**
Forget all about me!
**[04:04] Shintaro**
Are you stupid?!
**[04:06] Shintaro**
Anyway, that was our dinner you just ate.
**[04:11] Mari**
I'm sorry! All those all-nighters
without food or drink ruined me!
**[04:15] Mari**
I can't think straight!
**[04:17] Shintaro**
Yeah, well, I sympathize...
**[04:19] Mari**
And still!
**[04:20] Mari**
I had to wait for you 'cause
you were gone! Sob emoji!
**[04:24] Shintaro**
A grown-ass woman shouldn't
be talking in emoji.
**[04:26] Mari**
I'm doing it *because* I'm a grown-ass woman!
**[04:28] Shintaro**
Sheesh. You should've grabbed
something to eat while you waited.
**[04:32] Mari**
Huh?
**[04:35] Shintaro**
*Yikes.*
**[04:36] Shintaro**
* The extreme exhaustion and hunger have*
* thrown her survival instincts out of whack.*
**[04:42] Shintaro**
So?
**[04:43] Shintaro**
How long were you waiting by the door?
**[04:45] Mari**
Since about 3 PM.
**[04:46] Shintaro**
Ack. Why didn't you contact me?
**[04:49] Mari**
I left my phone at home.
**[04:51] Shintaro**
But why?
**[04:52] Mari**
My editor installed a GPS tracking app on it.
**[04:54] Shintaro**
What? That's creepy!
***SIGN*** Growl
**[04:59] Towa**
I think I'll make something after all.
**[05:02] Shintaro**
Sorry. We bought meals so
you wouldn't have to cook...
**[05:06] Towa**
Don't worry about it.
**[05:07] Mari**
Oh, wait.
**[05:09] Mari**
I brought cake. Want some?
**[05:14] Shintaro**
Wait, is that a whole cake? What's the occasion?
**[05:18] Mari**
Well...
**[05:20] Mari**
It's my birthday.
**[05:21] Shintaro**
What?
**[05:23] Mari**
Yeah... Nobody's wished me
a happy birthday all day.
**[05:27] Mari**
I thought my editor would say something
after I finished my work, but nope.
**[05:33] Shintaro**
* Wait, are editors meant to celebrate*
* authors' birthdays with them?*
**[05:37] Mari**
So I decided I would eat some cake with you...
**[05:41] Mari**
And bought my own cake...
my own birthday cake...
**[05:47] Mari**
Stupid editor!
**[05:49] Mari**
Dummy poop head!
**[05:51] Shintaro**
Wait, don't cry!
**[05:52] Shintaro**
Don't cry, Mari-chan!
**[05:57] Shintaro**
Happy birthday to you.
**[06:01] Shintaro**
Happy birthday to you.
***SIGN*** Mari-chan
Happy 28th Birthday
**[06:05] Shintaro**
Happy birthday, dear Mari-chan.
**[06:10] Shintaro**
Happy birthday to you.
**[06:15] Shintaro**
*Seriously, what even is this?*
**[06:21] Mari**
I'm so sorry.
**[06:23] Mari**
My emotions are always a
mess right after a deadline.
**[06:26] Mari**
I think my nerves are frayed or something...
**[06:29] Towa**
Please don't cry.
**[06:31] Mari**
Thanks.
**[06:33] Mari**
Thank you. You're so nice, miss.
**[06:37] Mari**
Wub.
**[06:39] Mari**
So, who is she?
**[06:41] Shintaro**
You ask *now*?
**[06:42] Mari**
Well, I've been wondering who
this pretty young lady is.
**[06:45] Shintaro**
Yeah, okay, I did kinda
forget to introduce her!
**[06:49] Shintaro**
*Hang on! How am I supposed to explain this?*
**[06:53] Shintaro**
* I'm having a girl live with me*
* without my landlady's permission.*
**[06:56] Shintaro**
*Won't that get me in trouble?*
**[06:58] Shintaro**
* And there's no way I can*
* tell her she's an angel.*
**[07:01] Towa**
My apologies for not introducing
myself sooner. My name is Towa.
**[07:05] Towa**
Shintaro-sama has helped me out a great deal,
**[07:08] Towa**
and I've always wanted to thank
the owner of this apartment—
**[07:10] Shintaro**
Oh, s-s-stop right there, Towa-chan!
**[07:13] Shintaro**
* We probably shouldn't reveal*
* that she's living with me!*
**[07:16] Shintaro**
* Which means we need a*
* plausible cover story...*
**[07:20] Mari**
Oh!
**[07:21] Mari**
Is Towa-chan your girlfriend?
**[07:25] Shintaro**
Classmate!
**[07:26] Mari**
Really?
**[07:27] Mari**
You can tell me the truth.
Way to go, playboy.
**[07:30] Shintaro**
W-We're on the school festival
committee, so we're having a meeting.
**[07:34] Mari**
Aren't school festivals held in the fall?
**[07:36] Mari**
You're making arrangements early.
**[07:38] Shintaro**
Yeah...
**[07:40] Shintaro**
* There I go again, making up*
* stupid excuses on the spot.*
**[07:44] Mari**
I see.
**[07:46] Mari**
Towa-chan, how's Shin-chan at school?
**[07:49] Mari**
Is he being a good boy?
Is he a hit with the ladies?
**[07:51] Towa**
A hit?
**[07:52] Shintaro**
What are you asking her?!
**[07:54] Mari**
Hey, I'm your guardian now.
I have the right to know.
**[07:59] Shintaro**
No, you don't!
**[08:01] Mari**
Towa-chan! Shin-chan's being mean to me!
**[08:04] Mari**
Me, who changed his diapers
and gave him milk!
**[08:07] Shintaro**
Hey, hold on a second now!
That's playing dirty!
**[08:10] Towa**
Diapers and milk? Really?
**[08:12] Mari**
You see, I lived in the same neighborhood
as Shin-chan back when he was little.
**[08:16] Mari**
My brother and his wife both worked,
so I looked after him often.
**[08:22] (Flashback) Yung Shintaro**
Mari-cha... Waz this?
**[08:24] (Flashback) Mari**
Hmm? Oh, this?
**[08:25] Mari**
He was such a little angel!
**[08:28] Mari**
So gosh darn adorable.
**[08:30] Towa**
Wow.
**[08:31] Towa**
I would've loved to have
met little Shintaro-sama.
**[08:35] Mari**
Want me to bring pics next time?
**[08:37] Shintaro**
Do not! Please!
**[08:39] Mari**
What's the big deal? You were cute!
**[08:42] Shintaro**
It's still embarrassing!
**[08:43] Mari**
Whew, check out Mr. Teenage Angst.
**[08:46] Mari**
By the way...
**[08:47] Mari**
Why does she call you "Shintaro-sama"?
**[08:50] Shintaro**
* Good question, actually. I stopped*
* questioning it 'cause I got so used to it.*
**[08:54] Mari**
Are you making her call you that?
**[08:57] Shintaro**
No! Quit backing away
slowly! It's my nickname!
**[09:00] Shintaro**
Everyone in school calls me that as a joke!
**[09:03] Mari**
What the heck? That's so funny.
***SIGN*** Pfft
**[09:06] Shintaro**
*One stupid lie after another.*
***SIGN*** Mari-chan
Happy 28th Birthday
**[09:18] Towa**
I'll go make some tea.
**[09:20] Shintaro**
Oh, thanks.
**[09:22] Mari**
She's really thoughtful. Such a nice girl.
**[09:26] Shintaro**
Yeah.
**[09:28] Mari**
Is she really an angel?
**[09:30] Mari**
I wish she'd join our family.
**[09:33] Mari**
Wait, why are you blushing?
**[09:35] Mari**
I meant I'd marry her, not you.
**[09:39] Mari**
So, how's it look?
**[09:41] Mari**
Think you got a chance?
**[09:42] Shintaro**
Again, it's not like that!
**[09:44] Mari**
Shucks.
**[09:47] Mari**
Mind if I use the bathroom?
**[09:48] Shintaro**
Go ahead.
**[09:52] Mari**
Say, why do you have two toothbrushes?
**[09:55] Shintaro**
I prefer to use separate ones
for front and back teeth!
**[09:59] Mari**
You do?
**[10:01] Shintaro**
Ugh, she's too perceptive for
someone running on no sleep.
**[10:09] Mari**
Ugh. The brain fog's finally clearing up.
**[10:12] Mari**
I can sense the carbs
circulating in my brain.
**[10:15] Mari**
I feel human again.
**[10:20] Mari**
* But I can't believe Shin-chan*
* invited a girl over.*
**[10:25] Mari**
* I always thought he was the passive*
* type, so this is a pleasant surprise.*
**[10:28] Mari**
* Well, he does live alone.*
* He can invite whoever he wants.*
**[10:33] Mari**
*Whoever he wants...*
**[10:35] Mari**
*Do whatever he wants...*
**[10:37] Mari**
*Living alone...*
***SIGN*** Living alone
**[10:39] Mari**
*Having girls over...*
***SIGN*** Having girls over
**[10:40] Mari**
*A private space!*
***SIGN*** Private
***SIGN*** Space
**[10:43] Mari**
Shin-chan! Don't you dare
dabble in drugs or orgies!
**[10:46] Shintaro**
What are you even saying?!
**[10:48] Towa**
Org—
**[10:48] Shintaro**
And Towa-chan! Don't repeat after her!
**[10:53] Mari**
That was great.
**[10:55] Mari**
Thanks, Towa-chan.
**[10:57] Towa**
You're welcome.
**[10:59] Mari**
But you should probably
think about going home soon.
**[11:02] Mari**
It's getting late.
**[11:04] Mari**
Let's walk her home, Shin-chan.
**[11:07] Shintaro**
Uh, well...
**[11:08] Mari**
Her family is going to
start worrying about her.
**[11:12] Shintaro**
You're right about that.
**[11:14] Shintaro**
*Yeah, I should've seen this coming.*
**[11:16] Mari**
Let's hit up the convenience
store after we walk her.
**[11:20] Towa**
U-Um... er...
**[11:25] Towa**
Wh-What do we do? Where am I supposed to go?
**[11:29] Shintaro**
Split off at some point,
**[11:31] Shintaro**
and then fly to the balcony,
taking utmost care not to be seen.
**[11:34] Shintaro**
Can you wait there until Mari-chan leaves?
**[11:37] Towa**
Got it.
**[11:39] Mari**
What are you two whispering about?
**[11:42] Mari**
Boo, boo.
**[11:44] Shintaro**
We were just discussing the school festival.
**[11:47] Mari**
Oh, right.
**[11:48] Mari**
I'm so sorry, Towa-chan.
**[11:51] Mari**
I interrupted your meeting.
**[11:53] Towa**
D-Don't be.
**[11:54] Mari**
Should I come explain to your family
why you're getting home so late?
**[11:59] Towa**
You don't have to.
**[12:02] Towa**
I-I'll be fine from here.
**[12:04] Shintaro**
O-Okay.
**[12:06] Shintaro**
Uh... See you.
**[12:08] Towa**
Bye. Goodnight.
**[12:11] Mari**
Towa-chan!
**[12:15] Towa**
Auntie Mari-chan?
**[12:17] Mari**
Just Mari's fine.
**[12:19] Towa**
Miss Mari-chan, then.
**[12:21] Mari**
You see, Towa-chan,
**[12:22] Mari**
Shin-chan can be a bit shy,
but he's a very nice boy.
**[12:28] Mari**
I can promise you that.
**[12:30] Mari**
Please continue to spend time
with him, if you don't mind.
**[12:36] Towa**
I will.
**[12:38] Mari**
Bye.
**[12:39] Towa**
Goodnight.
**[12:42] Shintaro**
* How long does Mari-chan*
* intend to stay, anyway?*
**[12:54] Towa**
I'm pretty sure nobody saw me.
**[12:57] Towa**
Are Shintaro-sama and Miss Mari-chan back?
**[13:00] Shintaro**
What were you and Towa-chan talking about?
**[13:03] Mari**
Secret.
**[13:05] Shintaro**
Anyway, once you finish that,
you should get going, too.
**[13:08] Mari**
I'm not going anywhere tonight.
**[13:10] Shintaro**
Huh?
**[13:11] Mari**
I bought a sleepover kit while
I was at the convenience store.
**[13:15] Mari**
I stocked up on booze, too.
**[13:16] Shintaro**
Hey, go home!
**[13:18] Mari**
Why the sudden change in treatment?
**[13:21] Shintaro**
No, seriously, you need to leave.
**[13:23] Shintaro**
* Towa-chan will have to spend the*
* night on the balcony otherwise!*
***SIGN*** Déjà vu
**[13:27] Mari**
No way. I'd have to get back
to work if I went home.
***SIGN*** Scree!!
**[13:30] Mari**
Not happening! I can't work with
an editor who forgets my birthday!
**[13:35] Mari**
Absolutely not! I refuse!
**[13:38] Shintaro**
*Has she ever heard of professionalism?*
**[13:40] Mari**
Jerk! Dummy! Kida, you dummy!
**[13:43] Shintaro**
"Kida"?
**[13:44] Shintaro**
Wait, your publisher is Squeemix, right?
**[13:49] Mari**
Yeah, why?
**[13:51] Shintaro**
Then are you talking about Kida Mitsuru-san?!
**[13:54] Shintaro**
Of *Overnight Oil Baron* and *The Legend
of the Rowdy Feudal Lord* fame?!
**[13:58] Mari**
Huh? Why do you know an editor's name?
**[14:01] Shintaro**
He's mentioned in the
afterwords and imprints!
**[14:03] Shintaro**
I'm a huge fan of the stuff Kida-san edits!
**[14:06] Shintaro**
And I read *Oil Baron* weekly!
**[14:08] Shintaro**
It's getting a Hollywood adaptation, right?
**[14:09] Mari**
Yikes, Shin-chan, you're scaring me.
**[14:12] Mari**
Or creeping me out, actually.
**[14:13] Shintaro**
I mean, he's a superstar editor!
**[14:16] Shintaro**
All the authors he manages
are household names, too!
**[14:20] Mari**
Yeah, well, I'm no household name.
**[14:23] Mari**
That's why my editor doesn't care about me.
**[14:26] Shintaro**
Sorry, sorry!
**[14:27] Shintaro**
I'm sure you're popular,
too! Not that I know!
**[14:30] Mari**
You don't?!
**[14:31] Shintaro**
You got that one anime adaptation, too!
**[14:33] Mari**
Yeah, years ago!
**[14:34] Shintaro**
Your schedule's packed, right?
That proves your work's popular!
**[14:37] Mari**
Manga takes the same amount of
work regardless of popularity.
**[14:41] Mari**
It's fine, really.
**[14:43] Mari**
I'm a constant reminder to Kida of how
much of a dead weight failed authors are.
**[14:48] Mari**
I'm providing value to the magazine as
a shining example of what not to do.
**[14:52] Shintaro**
Please stop with the self-affirming
self-deprecation.
**[14:55] Mari**
Anyway, I'm spending the night here!
**[14:57] Mari**
I'll sleep on the floor,
so lend me a blanket!
**[14:59] Shintaro**
Hey, the trains are still running!
**[15:02] Shintaro**
Believe in yourself and your
ability to make it home, okay?
**[15:06] Mari**
No!
**[15:07] Shintaro**
Don't give me that!
**[15:13] Shintaro**
*Towa-chan.*
**[15:15] Shintaro**
*"I'm okay."*
**[15:17] Shintaro**
* "I can sleep... on the*
* balcony... just fine..."*
**[15:20] Shintaro**
*I can't accept that!*
**[15:23] Shintaro**
Who is it so late at night?
**[15:27] Mari**
Wait, don't open the door!
**[15:29] Mari**
I felt a Newtype flash just now!
**[15:32] Shintaro**
What?
**[15:36] Shintaro**
Huh?
**[15:38] Shintaro**
Wait, what?!
**[15:39] Kida**
Found you...
**[15:42] Kida**
You piece of trash!
**[15:47] Mari**
Why are you here, Kida-chan?!
**[15:48] Kida**
I searched all the places
you were likely to go!
**[15:53] Kida**
And I remembered you went and bought an
apartment when you were flavor of the month!
**[15:59] Kida**
You nincompoop!
**[16:00] Mari**
Don't call it flavor of the
month! You'll make me cry!
**[16:03] Shintaro**
*Kida? Is this Kida Mitsuru?*
**[16:07] Shintaro**
*Kida's a woman?*
**[16:08] Shintaro**
Eek!
**[16:09] Kida**
And who is this?
**[16:11] Mari**
My son.
**[16:12] Kida**
Wha?!
**[16:13] Shintaro**
I'm not! I'm her nephew, and I'm
renting this apartment from her!
**[16:17] Shintaro**
Thank you for looking after my aunt!
**[16:21] Kida**
I'm terribly sorry!

**[16:27] Kida**
I truly apologize, Shintaro-kun.
**[16:29] Shintaro**
I-It's okay...
**[16:31] Kida**
You should've told me you were
looking after your teenage nephew!
**[16:34] Kida**
I wouldn't have locked you
up for two months, then!
**[16:37] Mira**
I kinda just forgot.
**[16:40] Kida**
I hope you didn't have any trouble while
your guardian wasn't around to help.
**[16:43] Shintaro**
Oh, it was totally fine. We kept
in touch regularly, anyway.
**[16:47] Kida**
I'll have her come check on you
every so often from now on.
**[16:51] Shintaro**
Oh, no need. She doesn't
have to show up, ever.
**[16:54] Mari**
Shin-chan?!
**[16:56] Kida**
Mari.
**[16:57] Mari**
Eek! I'm sorry! Please don't yell at me!

I'll work, I'll work!

I'll work like a dog!
**[17:05] Kida**
Happy birthday.
**[17:11] Kida**
I'm glad I got to wish you well on the day.
**[17:13] Mari**
You remembered?
**[17:15] Kida**
Of course I did.
**[17:17] Kida**
And heck! I slipped away,
bought a cake, and went to your place,
**[17:21] Kida**
only to find it empty! I panicked so hard!
**[17:25] Mari**
Kida-chan... You came for me
even though you're so busy?
**[17:29] Kida**
Yes, my schedule is totally packed.
**[17:32] Kida**
I don't have a second to waste on
authors I don't care a lick about.
**[17:37] Mari**
I...
**[17:38] Mari**
I knew that! I knew that all along!
***SIGN*** Squee
***SIGN*** Squee
**[17:41] Mari**
And I believed you remembered my birthday
because you always celebrate it with me!
**[17:47] Kida**
Let's go back and eat that cake.
**[17:49] Mari**
Yeah!
**[17:50] Kida**
Once you're done, get on that script.
**[17:52] Mari**
Sob emoji!
**[17:52] Kida**
Don't cry. Makes you look ugly.
**[17:53] Shintaro**
*This is totally just a lovers' spat.*
**[17:59] Mari**
Bye, Shin-chan. Call me anytime you need me.
**[18:03] Shintaro**
Yeah, thanks.
**[18:05] Shintaro**
Oh, and I'm looking forward
to seeing how *Oil Baron* goes!
**[18:09] Kida**
Thanks. Let me know what you
think next time we meet.
**[18:12] Shintaro**
Sure!
**[18:15] Mari**
Like you have the time for that.
**[18:19] Kida**
I wouldn't be so busy if you didn't
blow deadlines all the time.
**[18:24] Mari**
I'm so sorry.
**[18:28] Shintaro**
Whew, she finally left.
**[18:31] Towa**
Shintaro-sama.
**[18:33] Shintaro**
Towa-chan.
**[18:36] Shintaro**
Uh, I'm sorry for getting
you mixed up in that.
**[18:39] Towa**
Don't be. Miss Mari-chan's a
very fun person, isn't she?
**[18:43] Shintaro**
She's usually better than that.
**[18:48] Towa**
I'm happy I got to see you around
family for the first time.
**[18:53] Towa**
It was cute how you were blushing so much.
**[18:57] Shintaro**
Please don't get on my back, too!
**[18:59] Towa**
I'm not!

Not great.
**[19:10] Mari**
Sob emoji!
**[20:43] Shintaro**
I'll be leaving now. Goodbye.
**[20:48] Shintaro**
* I gotta get home quick.*
* Towa-chan's got dinner ready for me.*
**[20:58] Shintaro**
*Whoa...*
**[20:59] Shintaro**
*Wow, she's really pretty. And...*
**[21:03] Shintaro**
*That's an unusual eye color.*
**[21:06] Shintaro**
Oh, uh, are you okay?
**[21:09] Man A**
Hey!
**[21:11] Man B**
You there!
**[21:14] Lilishka**
I'm being pursued. Help me.
**[21:18] Lilishka**
Please.
**[21:22] Shintaro**
This way!
**[21:23] Man B**
Hey, wait!
**[21:25] Man A**
Get back here!
**[21:27] Man B**
We're just trying to give
her back her book...

**[21:35] Shintaro**
Looks like we lost them.
**[21:37] Shintaro**
*This is a scene right out of some manga.*
**[21:40] Shintaro**
* The usual "save a pretty girl*
* on the run" kinda thing.*
**[21:43] Lilishka**
Sniff, sniff.
**[21:45] Lilishka**
Sniff, sniff, sniff.
**[21:47] Shintaro**
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What?!
**[21:50] Lilishka**
You smell nice. Delicious.
**[21:54] Shintaro**
Oh...
**[21:55] Shintaro**
I just finished my shift at a restaurant,
so maybe I smell like food?
**[22:02] Shintaro**
Wait, is your leg hurt?
**[22:04] Shintaro**
Are you okay?!

**[22:08] Shintaro**
Oh, okay.
**[22:10] Shintaro**
*I'm glad to hear it and sorry I asked.*
**[22:14] Lilishka**
Thanks for helping me.
**[22:17] Shintaro**
But I didn't do anything.
**[22:19] Shintaro**
Why are you on the run? Who were those guys?
**[22:23] Lilishka**
I don't know.
**[22:24] Lilishka**
I was walking down the street when
they suddenly started chasing me.
**[22:28] Shintaro**
Damn, sounds crazy. Do you have any idea why?
**[22:31] Lilishka**
I presume...
**[22:33] Lilishka**
I presume they are descendants
of Professor Helsing.
***SIGN*** Professor Helsing?
**[22:38] Shintaro**
Hell... what?
**[22:40] Lilishka**
My archenemies, who still continue
to plot evil 134 years on...
**[22:47] Lilishka**
Abraham Van Helsing's descendants.
**[22:51] Lilishka**
They have crossed the seas to the Orient
**[22:55] Lilishka**
in a bid to wipe us vampires out.
**[22:57] Shintaro**
Huh? Hang on a second!
**[22:59] Shintaro**
Did you just say "vampires"?
**[23:02] Shintaro**
* Whoa, whoa! I figured I'd meet a devil*
* or kappa, but I got a vampire instead!*
**[23:07] Shintaro**
*Right, I forgot about them!*
**[23:10] Shintaro**
So, are you...
**[23:13] Lilishka**
Hmph.
**[23:15] Lilishka**
Indubitably. Tremble in awe.
**[23:18] Lilishka**
I am the latest of the noblest

**[23:24] Lilishka**

**[23:26] Lilishka**
The peak of all creation!
