[00:04] (Flashback) Founder {Flashback}
    Haven't I told you, Ruka?
[00:07] (Flashback) Founder {Flashback}
    You have a "destined partner."
[00:10] (Flashback) Founder {Flashback}
    You must not fall for anyone else, but her.
[00:14] (Flashback) Founder {Flashback}
    If you fall for anyone else, you will never
    be able to meet your "destined partner."
[00:23] (Flashback) Founder {Flashback}
    Ruka. Find your "destined partner"
    and become a true vampire.
[00:29] (Flashback) Founder {Flashback}
    Become the Lord, who will take my place.
[00:33] (Flashback) Ruka {Flashback}
    I know, Founder.
[00:36] (Flashback) Founder {Flashback}
    So you must not fall in love with anyone.
[00:39] (Flashback) Founder {Flashback}
    No matter what, whether it be a woman...
[00:41] (Flashback) Founder {Flashback}
    or a man.
[00:46] (Flashback) Ruka {Flashback}
    I won't fall in love.
[00:50] (Flashback) Ruka {Flashback}
    Not with anyone.

[02:29] Takara
    Oh man, we have school today.
[02:32] Takara
    What a pain.
[02:34] Juri
    What are you talking about?
[02:36] Juri
    You got plenty of rest over the weekend.
[02:38] Mito
    Juri! Takara!
[02:40] Juri
    Mito?
[02:42] Mito
    Have you seen Ruka?
[02:43] Juri
    Ruka?
[02:44] Takara
    Did something happen?
[02:45] Mito
    Well...
[02:47] Mito
    Ever since we got back from camping,
    he keeps wandering off alone.
[02:50] Mito
    And we keep missing each other every day.
[02:52] Takara
    Huh. I always see you guys
     together, so that's weird.
[02:57] Mito
    It is, right?
[02:59] Mito {M}
    He leaves really early in the morning
    and comes back late at night.
[03:02] Mito {M}
    He hasn't drunk my blood
    since the camp. I bet he's hungry.
[03:13] Mito {M}
    Ruka left for school
    without me again this morning.
[03:17] Mito {M}
    I haven't really seen him for a week now.
[03:24] Mito
    Ruka!
[03:27] Mito
    I finally caught you!
[03:30] Ruka
    What do you want, Mito?
[03:33] Mito
    What do you mean by that?!
[03:34] Mito
    You haven't sucked my blood at all lately!
[03:37] Ruka
    Hey! Keep your voice down!
[03:39] Mito
    Come with me, then!
[03:41] Ruka
    H-Hey!
[03:53] Mito
    Here. You can drink my blood.
[03:58] Ruka
    I'm... not hungry.
[03:59] Mito
    Liar! You haven't had any in a week!
[04:03] Mito
    Ruka...
[04:05] Mito
    Drink a lot of it. A whole week's worth.
[04:09] Mito
    Okay?
[04:19] Ruka
    I said I'm not hungry!
[04:24] Mito
    Ruka...
[04:37] Mito {M}
    No matter how I look at it,
    he's clearly avoiding me.
[04:40] Mito {M}
    Was it too much that I asked him to love me?
[04:46] Komori
    Is something troubling you?
[04:49] Mito
    Komori-san.
[04:51] Komori
    Lemon balm tea has a calming effect
    to soothe the soul.
[04:55] Mito
    Thank you very much.
[05:01] Mito
    It's delicious!
[05:03] Komori
    Could it be that it has something
    to do with Ruka-sama?
[05:06] Mito
    Oh, um...
[05:08] Mito
    Actually, Ruka's been avoiding me lately, and...
[05:12] Mito
    He won't drink my blood,
[05:14] Mito
    and I'd hate to think it's my fault
    that he's starving himself.
[05:21] Komori
    Mito-san, you are very kind.
[05:24] Komori
    I see... No wonder he's craving
    more than just your blood.
[05:30] Mito
    Huh?
[05:33] Female Customer
    Don't you think he's just
    as hot as the workers here?
[05:40] Mito
    Ren!
[05:41] Mito
    You came to visit?
[05:43] Ren
    Are you feeling better?
[05:44] Mito
    Oh, come on.
[05:46] Mito
    It's been a week since we went camping.
[05:48] Mito
    I'm feeling great!
[05:52] Ren
    Then why the facade?
[05:55] Ren
    Hey. I'm gonna borrow him for a bit.
[05:59] Ren
    Let's go.
[06:00] Mito
    H-Hey! Hold on!
[06:05] Komori
    Oh, my.
[06:07] Komori
    He's been taken away.
[06:10] Ruka
    That bastard...
[06:13] Komori
    Let's see how you'll answer
    this one, Ruka-sama.
[06:20] Mito
    H-Hey, Ren?! W-What's all this about?!
[06:31] Ren
    We're here.
[06:32] Mito
    Huh?
[06:38] Mito
    This is...
[06:39] Ren
    It's my first time having a friend,
[06:43] Ren
    so I don't know what I should do
    to make you feel better.
[06:48] Ren
    That's why I'll tag along with you
[06:51] Ren
    to anything you want, whether
     it's shopping or whatever.
[06:53] Mito
    Ren... But, I don't really
    have anything I want to...
[07:06] Store Employee 1
    Thank you very much!
[07:08] Customer A
    Thanks!
[07:10] Customer B
    I'm so glad I was able to get this dress!
[07:13] Customer A {Background}
    Yeah!
[07:13] Mito {M}
    If only I weren't dressed like a man
    and I'd met Ruka as a girl...
[07:21] Ren
    H-Hey! That's a store for women!
[07:27] Store Employee 1
    Welcome!
[07:28] Store Employee 1
    Feel free to take a look around!
[07:31] Mito
    Wow...
[07:34] Mito
    Oh!
[07:36] Ren
    H-Hey!
[07:38] Mito
    Excuse me! Can I try on this dress?
[07:41] Ren
    Try it on?!
[07:43] Mito
    Sorry, Ren.
[07:45] Mito
    I'll be quick, so bear with me, okay?
[07:49] Ren
    I'll wait outside until
    you're done getting dressed.
[07:54] Store Employee 2
    I'll show you to the dressing room, then.
[07:57] Mito
    Okay.
[08:08] Mito {M}
    I forgot...
[08:10] Mito {M}
    Were girl's clothes always
    this soft and fluffy?
[08:15] Mito {M}
    It's me as a girl.
[08:20] Customer C
    Don't you think these are so cute?
[08:22] Customer D
    Super cute! Let's go in and look!
[08:24] Customer C
    Whoa, he's such a hottie.
[08:27] Customer D
    I wonder if he's waiting for his girlfriend.
[08:28] Customer C
    I'm jealous.
[08:29] Ren
    Come on, Yamamoto...
[08:32] Mito {M}
    If Ruka saw me like this, then maybe he'd...
[08:40] Customer E
    Hey, I saw a man go into the dressing room.
[08:45] Customer F
    Eww, seriously?
[08:47] Customer E
    Let's take a peek inside.
[08:49] Mito {M}
    Oh, no! What should I do?!
[08:52] Customer F
    All right, on go.
[08:54] Customer E & F
    And—
[08:55] Mito {M}
    No!
[08:59] Ruka
    You need something from my friend?
[09:03] Mito
    Huh? Ruka?
[09:06] Ruka
    What's wrong with a girl or boy
    wearing whatever they want?
[09:10] Ruka
    I think he'd look much better than you two.
[09:13] Customer F
    Huh?! How rude!
[09:15] Customer F
    Let's go home!
[09:19] Ruka
    Geez.
[09:20] Mito
    Ruka...
[09:23] Mito
    Thank you.
[09:27] Ruka
    H-Hey, just what are you wearing?!
[09:29] Mito
    It's just...
[09:30] Mito
    I thought if I dressed like this,
    you'd want to drink my blood.
[09:38] Mito
    But, oh well! It looks weird on me, right?
[09:40] Mito
    Huh?
[09:42] Mito
    Ruka? What's wrong?
[09:46] Mito {M}
    His gaze is so intense, it's making me nervous.
[10:00] Ruka
    Mito...
[10:02] Ruka
    I want to feed on this feminine version of you.
[10:08] Ruka
    But to me, you're...
[10:11] (Flashback) Founder {Flashback}
    You have a "destined partner."
[10:14] (Flashback) Founder {Flashback}
    You must not fall for anyone else, but her.
[10:20] Ruka
    You're an important friend.
[10:25] Mito {M}
    What?
SIGN    Vampire
    Dormitory
[10:31] Mito {M}
    A... friend?
[10:34] Ruka
    So you don't have to push yourself
    and pretend to be a woman, okay?
[10:38] Ruka
    It's fine the way it is.
[10:40] Ruka
    I'll love you as a friend.
[10:44] Mito {M}
    As a friend...
[10:47] Ruka
    This is my answer.
[10:50] Ruka
    So, I can drink, can't I?
[10:54] Ren
    Quit it!
[10:55] Ren
    Even if you're friends, I'm against
     you drinking his blood!
[10:59] Ruka
    Why, you!
[11:01] Ruka
    Don't interrupt my week's worth of feeding!
[11:03] Ren
    Starve to death, for all I care.
[11:04] Ruka
    Stop messing around and get out!
[11:06] Mito
    Ruka! Ren!
[11:06] Ren {Background}
    Shut up!
[11:08] Mito
    Thanks for becoming my friends, you guys.
[11:13] Mito
    I'm super happy that I have
    great friends like you two!
[11:22] Mito
    All right, I'm gonna
    get changed, so out! Out!
[11:28] Ruka
    What's up with that cute girl act?
[11:35] Mito
    A friend, huh?
[11:39] Mito
    No way!
[11:40] Mito
    The sang sucre's color...
[11:43] Ruka
    It changed from blue to orange?!
[11:45] Mito
    Yeah! That means my blood
    tastes better, right?
[11:50] Ruka
    Good job, Mito!
[11:51] Ruka
    I'm sure it's because
    I poured my love into you.
[11:56] Ruka
    Finally, I'll be saved from
    that rotten curry taste!
[12:02] Komori
    What wonderful news!
[12:06] Ruka
    Komori.
[12:07] Komori
    How about it, Ruka-sama?
[12:09] Komori
    Before you taste Mito-san's blood,
    why not make it taste even better?
[12:18] Komori
    First, I'll have you
    freshen up by taking a bath.
[12:22] Komori
    And then, I'll have you put on this,
[12:24] Komori
    my Komori special strawberry cologne
    that helps stir up a vampire's appetite.
[12:27] Mito
    How wonderful.
[12:29] Komori
    After you get out, please use this bathrobe.
[12:35] Ruka
    What are you up to?
[12:37] Ruka
    I'm going to love him as a friend.
[12:41] Ruka
    It's not for romantic reasons,
    so mind your damn business.
[12:43] Komori
    As a friend, you say?
[12:47] Komori
    However, because of your love,
[12:48] Komori
    he's releasing more pheromones
    than he had previously.
[12:53] Ruka
    Pheromones?
[12:54] Komori
    Please take extra caution
    not to fall in love with him.
[12:59] Komori
    Well then, have a wonderful night.
[13:02] Ruka
    What d'ya mean by that?!
[13:08] Ruka
    Jeez...
[13:11] Mito
    Ruka?
[13:12] Ruka
    Hey, you're out already?
[13:15] Mito
    Um...
[13:18] Mito
    Did I do it right?
[13:27] Ruka {M}
    That mischievous bastard of a butler!
[13:29] Mito
    I still can't tell if my blood
    tastes better or not,
[13:33] Mito
    but I'm sure it'll be all right!
[13:35] Mito
    Because both you and Ren
    love me as a friend!
[13:41] Ruka {M}
    A sweet strawberry scent?
[13:44] Ruka
    Not Ren.
[13:48] Ruka
    I love you far more than he does, Mito.
[13:53] Ruka
    Don't I?
[13:57] Mito
    Yeah.
[14:01] Mito
    Ruka.
[14:03] Mito{M}
    As a friend... that's right.
[14:08] Mito{M}
    Nothing more or less.
[14:19] Mito{M}
    He's drinking longer than usual.
[14:22] Mito
    Ruka, how does it... taste?
[14:28] Ruka
    You...
[14:33] Ruka
    changed from a rotten curry
    to a rotten strawberry!
[14:38] Ruka
    Blegh.
[14:39] Mito
    What?! It didn't taste better at all, then!
[14:43] Ruka
    I'm gonna go take a bath to feel better.
[14:45] Mito
    Wha...
[14:50] Mito
    I guess it's no good unless
     the heart changes red.
[15:00] Ruka
    Just now, I was so into it
    until he said my name.
[15:04] Ruka
    Enough to forget how awful it tasted.
[15:08] Ruka
    Does this mean I like...
[15:11] Ruka
    No way! He's a man!
[15:14] Ruka
    Just because I'm no good with women
    doesn't mean I'd fall for a guy!
[15:17] Ruka
    He's flat as a board, short,
    and just a regular high school boy!
[15:24] Ruka
    But just for a sec, I thought he was cute.
[15:28] Komori {Flashback}
    Please take extra caution...
[15:32] Ruka
    If this keeps up, I'll...
[15:37] Ruka
    Mito!
[15:38] Ruka
    Go get a girlfriend!
[15:44] Mito
    Huh?! What do you mean a girlfriend?!
[15:47] Ruka
    If you get a woman to love you, your
    nasty blood might taste decent for once!
[15:51] Mito
    Excuse me?
[15:53] Takara
    Okay, okay!
[15:55] Takara
    It just means Mito's a boy, after all!
[15:58] Takara
    I'll set up a mixer! Leave it to me.
[16:01] Mito
    I-I didn't ask for that, y'know.
[16:04] Ruka
    Sweet! Now Mito's sure to get a girlfriend!
[16:07] Takara
    Hey, four girls from the girls'
    school next door said they'd come!
[16:12] Juri
    Wait, four? You volunteered me, too?!
[16:15] Takara
    Come on, Juri! Cute girls are gonna be there!
[16:20] Juri
    I'm not going.
[16:22] Juri
    Ask someone else.
[16:24] Takara
    What, for real?
[16:29] Takara
    Do you guys have any other
    friends who could make it?
[16:37] Juri
    Stupid Takara.
[16:45] Ren
    Why do I have to be the one
    to go to this thing?
[16:48] Ruka
    Your dear friend Mito is in need
    of your help. That's why.
[16:53] Mito
    Sorry, Ren.
[16:56] Ren
    And you. Stop smelling like a sweet
    fruit and man up a bit, will you?
[17:01] Mito
    Huh?
[17:05] Takara
    The girls are here!
[17:14] Takara
    Whoa!
[17:17] Maina
    We are first-year students from
    Yurigaoka Girls' School next door.
[17:22] Maina
    My name is Maina Makimura.
[17:26] Maina
    All of us are fans of Café La Fraise and
    are truly honored to be invited today.
[17:33] Mito {M}
    They're the real deal. True ladies.
[17:36] Maina
    Um...
[17:39] Maina
    I do have something I would like
    to speak with Mito-san about.
[17:43] Maina
    Would that be acceptable?
[17:46] Mito
    What? Me?!
[17:49] Other Girls
    Oh, my! Maina-sama, you're so bold!
[17:53] Takara
    Y-You did it, Mito!
[17:55] Takara
    She's already requesting you!
[17:57] Mito
    B-But...
[17:58] Takara
    Go get 'em, lover boy!
[18:03] Mito
    U-Umm...
[18:06] Maina
    Would you care to join me
    for a little stroll outside?
[18:09] Mito
    Huh? S-Sure.
[18:19] Mito {M}
    I can't believe I'm alone with a girl.
[18:22] Mito {M}
    What should I do?
[18:24] Maina
    My apologies.
[18:25] Maina
    You must find my abruptness ill-mannered.
[18:28] Mito
    Oh, uh, not really.
[18:30] Maina
    Are you interested in relationships, Mito-san?
[18:38] Mito
    U-Um...
[18:42] Ren
    Hey. What's up with this?
[18:45] Ren
    Weren't you the one who set this up?
[18:47] Ruka
    I didn't really do anything.
[18:49] Ruka
    I just told him to go get
    a girlfriend, and...
[18:52] Ren
    It's way too soon for
    Yamamoto to go out with a girl!
[18:54] Ruka
    What are you, his guardian?
[18:58] Ruka {M}
    Well, either way.
    They look pretty good together.
[19:07] Mito
    Watch out!
[19:11] Mito
    Are you okay?
[19:12] Maina
    Yes...
[19:17] Maina
    Mito-sama, I...
[19:22] Ruka
    I'm going home.
[19:23] Ren
    Hey. You...
[19:25] Ren
    You look like you got your
    heart broken or something.
[19:27] Ruka
    Of course not!
[19:29] Ruka
    He's a guy, and... just a friend. That's all.
[19:38] Maina
    Mito-sama, I actually have someone
    I've loved for a while now, and...
[19:45] Mito {M}
    Is she confessing?!
[19:47] Mito
    U-Um, Maina-san, I—
[19:51] Maina
    I've admired Ruka Saotome-sama for so long!
[19:56] Mito{M}
    What? Ruka?
[19:59] Maina
    I heard you were rooming with him
    and I just couldn't bear waiting!
[20:04] Maina
    As his friend, do you know
    if Ruka-sama has a girlfriend?
[20:10] Mito {M}
    A friend. That's right.
[20:13] Mito {M}
    I'm only a friend to Ruka.
[20:16] Mito {M}
    And yet, why does my chest hurt so much?
[20:20] Maina
    Mito-sama?
[20:23] Mito
    Oh, uh, no, I don't think he does.
[20:26] Maina
    Oh really?
[20:29] Maina
    I don't think we'll ever have
    the chance to be together.
[20:32] Maina
    However, I was worried that it would
    trouble him were I to confess my love.
[20:37] Mito {M}
    She's such a good girl.
[20:39] Mito {M}
    She's the total opposite of me.
[20:42] Mito {M}
    If only someone like her was Ruka's...
[20:45] Mito
    Um, I don't think he'd
    be troubled by it at all.
[20:49] Mito
    As his friend, I want Ruka
    to be happy too, so...
[20:55] Maina
    I'm so glad I was able to consult you
     on this matter, Mito-sama!
[21:11] Mito {M}
    Yeah. Everyone should always wish
    for their friends' happiness, of course.
[21:17] Mito {M}
    After all, I'm...
[21:19] Ren
    Yamamoto!
[21:22] Mito {M}
    ...only a thrall and a friend to Ruka.
[21:27] Mito
    Ren.
[21:33] Mito
    Sorry.
[21:36] Mito
    Can I borrow your shoulder for a sec?
[21:41] Ren
    Yamamoto...
[23:20] Ren
    No! Don't come out!
[23:23] Mito
    What?
[23:24] Ren
    Yamamoto, get... away from me.
[23:29] Ren
    If you don't... he's gonna come out!
[23:38] Mito
    Ren?!
