Cecilio: Was it a good date?
Cecilio: You two?
Both: !!
K: Cecilio...!!
Cecilio: You two sure are rash, just after what happened yesterday.

Page 17
Noel: Th-that's not true, the two of us were more than enough!!
Noel: Right, Kuroe!?
K: Ah...yeah...I guess.
Cecilio: Oh well.
Cecilio: Everything turned out ok.
Cecilio: Get in the car, Reiji needs to talk to you two.

Page 18
K: ...So, what did Reiji-san say?
Cecilio: Hm? Oh yeah.
Cecilio: I'll tell you along the way.

Speaker: The young ones at your place.
Reiji: What do you want?
Speaker: As the person standing behind you.

Page 23
...Good of you to come, Reiji Minato.

Page 24
Reiji: ...Lancelot.
Lancelot: What a nostalgic name...
Lancelot: No one calls me by that name anymore.

Noel: Wh-what's going one---!?
Man: ---So you're awake.

Page 3
K: Who...!?
K: Who are you...!?
Man: Hmph...
Man: Oh well...
Man: I guess no use in hiding anymore.

Page 4
Both: ---!!
Reiji: Knights of the Round Table sure has fallen...
Reiji: Having to take hostages just to call out one single Vanatoare.

Page 5
Lancelot: We are just going with the time... No one cares about knighthood anymore this day and age...
Reiji: ...And, what do you want?
Lancelot: It's just as you see.
Lancelot: If you hand us your life, I will return those two young ones without harm...
Lancelot: Resist, and the man on the other side will kill the hostages---
Reiji: ...That's not a reasonable trade.

Page 6
Reiji: Even if I were to hand over my life right now, there's no guarantee that they will be safely released.
Lancelot: How about if I swear on the name of Lancelot...?
Reiji: On the name of the knight...huh.
Reiji: ...I was foolish enough to have believed----and then was betrayed...
Reiji: I lost everything because of that, but that's why I'm still alive now.

Lancelot: ...
Lancelot: ...Our master is lamenting over the loss of the lady as well.
Reiji: Lament?
Reiji: You lot? Over killing one single human?
Lancelot: It's true that she was just a human.
But she was a special one, even to us.

Page 2
Lancelot: Her blood was very important to us vampires...
Lancelot: Blood that can turn vampires into humans...
Lancelot: With it, everything would have changed.
Reiji: So you killed her for such a ridiculous reason.
Lancelot: It was an accident.
Lancelot: Is there meaning in continuing to hunt down us Einseigrad Sparuda to avenge the death of the lady---your wife?

Page 3
Reiji: That is the precise reason why I'm still standing.
The proof that Misato lived in this world.
Reiji: This war will not end until I kill Mordred.
Lancelot: ...Even if the two young one will lose their lives?
Reiji: If you lay your hands on them---

Page 4
Reiji: I will destroy you all,
Reiji: With every last drop of my power.
Lancelot: Very well...

Page 5
I never expected much from the hostages in the first place...

K: ----!?

K: Wh-why---!?
Cecilio: ...It couldn't be helped.
Cecilio: I had to do it in order to call out Reiji.

Page 10
K: R...Reiji-san---!?
Cecilio: ...I'll be frank.
Cecilio: I sold Reiji out to Einseigrad Sparuda.
Noel: Wh-what are you saying!?
Cecilio: I meant exactly what I said.
Cecilio: He's probably being taken care of by their Aruhiek now.
K: Why...
K: Why are you doing it----!?

Page 11
I have stepped out...
Of this cycle of revenge.
And I----

Page 12
"Knight of the Lake" huh...

Page 13

Page 14
Lancelot: It's no use.
Lancelot: You can't damage "Lady of the Lake" with your attacks.

Page 19
Cecilio: I will become a vampire----
K: ----!?
K: Wha...!?
Noel: No way---
You sold Reiji-san out for such a stupid reason!?
Cecilio: ...That's right.
Cecilio: It was quite the simple trade.

Page 20
Cecilio: I provide Einseigrad Sparuda with Reiji, who has been a thorn on their side,
Cecilio: And I get eternal life in return, as well as atonement for all my sins with them.
K: There's no way they'd actually do it---!!
Noel: Yeah!!
Noel: They'll no doubt betray you!!
Cecilio: Who knows...

Page 21
Cecilio: If I stayed in this cycle of revenge,
I will eventually die a horrible death.
Cecilio: So the result doesn't change.
K: What about---
K: Revenge for your lover!?
Cecilio: ...
Cecilio: ...Unlike Reiji, I have no plans to live for vengence...
Cecilio: I'm sure she doesn't wish that for me either...

Page 22
Cecilio: Well then---
Cecilio: Reiji is going to die here,
Cecilio: But there's you two.
Noel: There's no way Reiji-san will fall!!
Noel: You'll regret doing this!!

Page 23
Cecilio: ...You probably don't know, but Reiji is currently facing a former "Knight of the Round Table".
Cecilio: Einseigrad Sparuda's finest Aruhiek...
Cecilio: Even if he's lucky, it'll probably end in a draw.
Noel: That's not---!!
Cecilio: ...I didn't want to have to do this,
Cecilio: But nothing is quite as worrisome as revenge with conviction.

Page 24
I have to pull the roots before they mature.
Don't think badly of me, you two.

Reiji: Yeah...

Noel: ...You think so too right, Reiji-san?

Page 13
Reiji: Hahaha!
Reiji: I was quite worried, but it seems like you'll do just fine.
Noel: That's not true.

Noel: ...Well---
K: ...
Noel: B-but if we leave them alone, then they'll attack innocents as well!!
Cecilio: Maybe,
And maybe not.

Page 2
Cecilio: ...Even if there were some like you said,
Cecilio: I'm not the one who will seek revenge.
Noel: With the means to stop them,
I can't just watch people being killed!!
Noel: I don't want more people going through what I did!!
Cecilio: If I kill vampires, their blood families will come hunting for me...
Cecilio: The same way vampire hunters do.

Page 3
Cecilio: It's an endless cycle.
K: ...
Cecilio: Even though the initial trigger is the hatred of one person,
Cecilio: And before you know it, you're all caught up in the cycles of hate and revenge, with nowhere left to run---
Cecilio: Such irony, that it would start a war...

Page 4
Noel: Kuroe, take a look at this.
K: What is it...?
K: The guy...from last night---

Page 5
K: Wh...where did you get this---?
Noel: Info from Scotland Yard.
Noel: Hey...
Noel: Let's clean up this mess by ourselves.
K: What...!?
K: W-we shouldn't, with just the two of us.
K: And we caused trouble for Reiji-san just last night---
Noel: You're so spineless!!
Noel: Don't you want to redeem yourself!?
K: W...well---

...To tell the truth.
Thank god he did not join up with Einseigrad Sparuda.

Page 2
Reiji: Take this...
K: ...What is it?
Reiji: "Saint's Ashes..."
Reiji: With it, you are able to borrow my powers for an instant.
Reiji: It will probably be useful if something were to happen.

Page 3
K: Thank you...very much.
Reiji: ...It's pretty pointless for me to say it at this point in time---

Page 4
But even now, I regret a little bit about bringing you here at that time...
You are kind.
It's better for you to forget about revenge---

Page 5
Reiji: You shouldn't become like me, a man trapped in the past.
K: ...
K: ...But---

Page 6
K: By forgetting...
It would mean erasing my sister's existence...
Reiji: ...You're right.

Page 7
Man: So all but one were wiped out...
Phone: ...
Phone: ...You've underestimated them.

Page 8
Phone: He's the man who made a contract with "Femme Sinistre", you know.
Phone: As if you can capture him without sending out an Aruhiek.
Man: It appears so.
Phone: That man killed many members of your Einseigrad Sparuda.
Phone: How many of your plans have been put to a stop?
Man: ...

Page 9
Man: Trying to lure him out with the Medraut name won't work again...
Phone: Regarding that, I have an idea.
Just leave it to me.
Man: ...Very well.
Phone: Make sure you do not forget about your promise.

Page 10
...Well I suppose tagging along after Reiji-san without permission was a rash decision----
But if only Kuroe had done his part properly, it wouldn't have been a problem.
To think that he couldn't do anything even at that distance.

Page 11
Noel: I didn't think you were that pitiful.
K: W...well---
Cecilio: ...
Cecilio: ...You couldn't shoot because you saw his face, right?
K: What...?
Cecilio: I'm talking about the one you faced.

Page 12
Cecilio: Those vampires look exactly like humans on the outside.
Not at all like the monsters they're depicted as in movies or TV shows.
Cecilio: Even when you know it's a vampire,
Anyone would hesitate the first time.
Cecilio: ...Even you did, right, Noel?
Noel: I...I'm not that weak!!

Page 13
Cecilio: No need to pretend to be tough.
Cecilio: We're called vampire hunters, but everyone is more or less the same.
Cecilio: Even I'm the same.
Cecilio: It's not like I continue to be one because I want to.
Noel: No...

Page 14
I'm...not the same!!

Page 15
Noel: I wanted to be one!!
Noel: My brothers were killed in front of my eyes!!
Noel: I will do anything to wipe them all out!!
Noel: ...Aren't you the same?
Noel: Cecilio!!
Noel: Aren't they they one who killed your lover!?
Cecilio: ...

Page 16
Cecilio: That's right...
There's no doubt I hate the one who killed her.
Cecilio: But...
Cecilio: Even so, it's not like I want to wipe out the entire vampire race because of it.
Cecilio: Think about it...
Cecilio: If the one who killed one's lover or relatives was a human,
Would there be anyone who want to kill every single human being out there?

Cecilio: Thanks to you.
Cecilio: It seems like pretty much everything is taken care of inside.

Reiji: I'm glad both of you were unharmed.

Reiji: Is it...impatience?

And prevent future tragedies before they happen.

Okita: Y...you shouldn't be the one...
Okita: To judge...them.
Shinjou: You're not getting it.

Shinjou: I've been watching the likes of them for a long time... They repeatedly commit crimes like it's just a game.
Shinjou: And there are those who get lucky and are released back to society, but without atoning for what they did.

Shinjou: How can they be anything but evil?

Okita: Just...where did reality end,
And illusions begin---

Sainome is back...
This time, it's your win...

M: Wah- snow!!
M: It's snow, Kuroe!!
K: Snow?
M: Look!!

Page 2
K: No wonder it was so cold.
M: Would it build up?
K: I wonder about that...
Even if the snow does, it'll probably melt by noon.
M: So it's not going to happen...?
M: It would be nice if it does...
M: A snowy night is so mysterious...
M: Everything is so quiet, as if everyone is asleep.

Page 3
K: Well, there would be less people out too because it's cold.
M: When you open the window at dawn, everything is silver outside.
The snow sparkles in the morning light, and it feels like a completely different world.
M: Everyone outside appears to be strangers...
K: I see people falling down while wearing leather shoes or heels.
M: ...

Page 4
M: Geez, you have no emotions even though you're a writer-
K: People become realistic when they become adults.
M: Even you were happy about snow in the morning when you were young, right?
K: I guess...
K: I did participate in snowball fights and made snowmen on the way back from school---
M: Snowman!!
M: I want to make a really big one!!
M: About the same height as me!!

Page 5
K: That's a bit...
Not unless you got a snowy place.
M: I guess it's good...
M: Sigh...I really hope there's still some left by the time I wake up.
K: ...

Page 6
K: Morning, Misaki.
M: Morni...but you're still awake, Kuroe?
K: Yeah...I have a bit of work.
M: Is that so...
M: Oh...that's right!!
What about the snow!?
K: A bit built up, but it melted after the sun came out.
M: I see. That's too bad...
K: ...I'll go get some sleep now.
M: Good night.

Page 7
K: ...Oh yeah, there's something good in the freezer.
M: Freezer?

K stands for Kuroe.

Page 1
Okita: How...
Okita: How do you know that---?
K: It's the reason that Sainome asked for me.

Page 2
Sainome found out about something, and was confined by the criminal.
What a potentially troublesome opponent, to have set a trap inside a memory...
...Was there anyone at the scene of the murder?

Page 3
Okita: People from our division--- If they find out anything, I would know.
K: ...I see.
Okita: ...
K: ...Now then, what can YOU do?
K: It's because you have some special powers that you are still here, right?
Okita: Ah...

Page 4
Okita: I...I---
Okita: Can get inside people's consciousness by touching them...
K: Hm...
Okita: ...But it's limited to people who are sleeping or unconscious.
K: That's perfect.
K: Are there any others in your division who can do it?
Okita: There isn't anyone with the same power.
K: ...

Page 5
K: Can retain your consciousness over here while inside the other world?
Okita: That's impossible.
K: ...How about taking me along?
Okita: It's possible if you touch me directly,
Okita: But instead of doing the hunting, I may be---
K: I know.
K: And that's why you didn't go in solo---
Okita: ...Yeah.

Page 6
K: Have you ever been trapped?
Okita: No...not so far.
K: I see...
K: ...Is there anything that you treasure?
K: Anything is fine, even a watch or a scrap of paper.
Okita: Huh...?
K: Rather than memories or intangible things,
K: It's better to have a physical object here.

Page 7
K: You must have something.
K: A gift from your girlfriend, a photo, or---
Okita: Ah...no.
Both: ...
K: Alright, let's see it---
Okita: S...stop---!!
Stop it!!

Page 8
K: ...So it's Sainome.
Okita: Th...that's not it!!
Okita: It's, um---!!
K: This will be enough.

Page 9
Okita: I'm telling you, it's---
Okita: !?
K: ...It will point to the path back to the real world...
K: ...Here.
K: It's a charm that's used for bringing you back.
Okita: Huh...?

Page 10
K: If you are stuck, then concentrate your thoughts on it.
K: It will pull you back to this world.
Okita: S...something like that---
K: It's a simple type of magic.
...Believe in it.
Okita: Magic...?
K: Ok, let's begin.
Okita: B...but---

Page 11
K: While we're talking like this,
Sainome could be in danger you know.
Okita: ...And the chance of success---?
K: Who knows.
K: It depends on you.
K: Let's go.

Page 12
K: ...Found you.
Sayaka: ---!!

Page 13
Sayaka: Kuroe...
I'm glad---
K: Of course, since you asked for me.
Okita: ...
K: What happened?
Sayaka: Well---
Man: ...They are your friends?

Page 14
K: ...So he's the cause.
K: I see...it's a familiar face.
Man: ...
Sayaka: Huh...?
Sayaka: What do you---

Page 15
Man: ...
Man: You can see?
K: And I suspected it was an inside job.

Page 16
It's all a deception.

Page 17
Sayaka: ...?
Kuroe...what are you---?
K: Look.
K: It's him.

Page 18
Okita: Chief...
Shinjou...!?
Shinjou: ...Interesting. To have broken through this illusion...
K: It's over. Stop any useless struggle.
shinjou: Useless struggle?
Shinjou: This memory is mine.
Shinjou: So don't think you can get out of here and reveal the truth.

Page 19
K: ...Open the door.
Shinjou: It's no use...you can't escape this prison.
Okita: N...no good, it won't open!!
Shinjou: Of course not.
K: Okita!!
K: He's just something that's fastened to a memory!!
K: Your powers are stronger!!
Believe!!

Page 20
K: Think of the charm!!
Shinjou: It's useless---
Okita: ...!!
Okita: I...
I'm back...?

Page 21
K: Where is he!?
Okita: Huh...!?
Okita: Ah...!!
Okita: ...That room!!

Page 22
K: Okita!!
K: What happened---!?
Okita: ---!?
Shinjou: ...How unexpected...

I need to see you now.
I will be waiting at West Coast's third park.
K(thought): ...
K(thought): What could it be...?

Page 8
K(thought): ...
K(thought): She's still not here yet?
K: Sainome...?
Man: Are you Kurose Kuroe!?

Page 9
K: ?
K(thought): A man...?
K: Where is Sainome?
Man: ...
Man: Do you know her!?
K: ...What are you saying?
Man: Throw me your ID!!

Page 10
K: ...
Man: Don't try anything funny!!
Man: !?

Page 11
Man: Wha...!?
K: Who are you?
Man: ...

Page 12
K: So you're with the police...
K: I thought that was the case.
Man: ...Why is that?
K: If you wanted a fight,
You wouldn't have asked for ID.
K: ...In addition, there's the fact that you're driving the car yourself.
Other people would have pointed a gun at me and made me drive.
Man: ...So you really are a detective?
K: Didn't I show you my ID just now?

Page 13
Man: You did, but---
K: Aren't you the suspicious one?
You only showed me your ID, but nothing to prove that you're with the police.
K: My eyes can see through any kind of deceit.
Man: ...
Are you really Sainome-san's---
K: If you still suspect me, then look me up. It should be easy enough for an officer.
K: And I have collaborated in investigations before, so there should be at least some data on me.
Man: ...

Page 14
K: ...That aside, what happened to Sainome?
K: Why are you doing this?
Man: ...
Man: This is not her will...
K: Right now, Sainome-san is---

Page 15
K: ...
Man: Her condition is stable right now, but she wouldn't wake up.

Page 16
Man: During our investigation---
But wait...even if I tell you this...
K: She was seeing the memory of the deceased?
Man: !!
Man: ...You know about that!?
K: Didn't I tell you that we've known each other for a long time?
K: ...What happened?
Man: ...

Page 17
TN: The paper says "Get help from Kurose Kuroe"
Man: ...This is the memo that Sainome-san left while she was going through the memory.
Man: It has your name and address written on it.
K: ...And that's how you contacted me?
Man: Yeah.
K: Still, what an invitation that you set up.
Man: I was trying to be cautious.
K: Oh well. I would have done the same.

Page 18
Man: ...Okita-kun, any progress?
Okita: Shinjou-san---
Okita: I'm sorry...I regret to say that nothing has---
Man: Hm...
Man: Who is that?

Page 19
Okita: He appeared in Sainome-san's memo.
Man: I see...It would be nice if you can lead us to some clues...
Man: ---Well then, carry on with your investigation.
Okita: Yes sir.
K: ...
K: He's your boss?
Okita: He is our acting section chief.
K: He's so young.

Page 20
Okita: It's in name only...
Okita: Unlike a section chief, he's just a boss.
Okita: ...You probably wouldn't understand even if I tell you, but we are---
K: Metropolitan Police Department Public Welfare Section 6, Supernatural Phenomenon Squad---right?
Okita: How...?!
K: And why Sainome from NRIPS?
TN: NRIPS = National Research Institute of Police Science
Okita: Ah...
Okita: W-we look to Sainome-san for help...
And she sometimes does scouting---

Page 21
K: I see...It's kind of the same in Sainome's department. Fierce competition is inevitable I guess.
K: So whose memory was she looking at?
Okita: About that---
K: There's no need to hide anything from me at this point, no?
K: Or I could make guesses at everything instead if you want.
Okita: ...

Page 22
Okita: ...A major suspect to a robbery murder.
K: A major suspect?
Okita: He was killed during the time the warrant was was being issued.
K: ...So she was going through the memory of the killed murderer.

Page 23
Okita: ...This makes the 7th one.
K: 7th what?
Okita: A major suspect committing suicide.
K: Hm...
Okita: Including this one, none of them seem to be the type to kill themselves.

Page 24
Okita: In addition, all of the circumstances are questionable.
Okita: Like having scars that do not point to suicide---The deaths all rouse suspicion.
K: I see...
K: And that's when the specialists come in.
K: ...And who knows about the investigation?
Okita: Everything has been kept to ourselves, so information is only available to the police.
Okita: Needless to say, the media knows nothing.
K: ...Is that so.

Page 25
K: That's enough. We don't need this one anymore.
Okita: ...?
What do you mean?
K: This is just a corpse.

M: Wow, this girl is pretty amazing.
M: It says that she's currently a high school student.
K: Hm?
K: You're up early today.
K: Which one...?
M: This.
K: First prize for the Fumizuki Novel Award huh...

Page 3
M: ...Now that I think about it, you've won the same prize before, right?
K: Yeah...
Although that was a long time ago.
K: Alright, I'll be out for a little while.
I won't be back too late.
M: Be careful.

Page 4
K: ...It's all thanks to you, Kashiwagi-sensei, that I was able to continue writing.
Kashiwagi: No, it's due to your own abilities... That's how you could write on.
Kashiwagi: ...I just happened to be a member of the selection committee at your debut, and nothing more.
Kashiwagi: I believe that your work is still among the top 3 masterpieces, even after 10 years.
K: ...Thank you very much.

Page 5
Kashiwagi: Although the fact that you disappeared immediately after receiving the award came as a shock...
Kashiwagi: It's been 10 years, huh...
K: ...
Kashiwagi: I won't ask you where you were and what you have been doing...
Since I'm both surprised and pleased by your return...
Kashiwagi: ...And it appears that you have had some difficult experiences.
K: ...Yes.

Page 6
Kashiwagi: ...However, if you don't mind my criticism, your recent works have definitely been somewhat lacking.
K: ...
Kashiwagi: I don't believe that your career has ended with just one major work.
Kashiwagi: You need to balance out the things that you have lost, and those that you have gained.

Page 7
Mei: Is it true that Kurose-sensei is coming!?
K: !!
Kashiwagi: That's not good, Mei.
You're showing bad manners.

Page 8
Kashiwagi: This is my daughter, Mei... Your first meeting, I think?
K: Ah...
Mei: Na...
Mei: Nice to meet you, Kurose-sensei...!!
K: Hiiragi...Mei-san?

Page 9
K: But I'm really surprised.
I didn't think that Kashiwagi-sensei's daughter would become a novelist.
Mei: I hate it when people say that I'm influenced by my father, so I kept it a secret.
K: I see.
Mei: But putting that aside, Kurose-sensei!! I decided to become a novelist after reading your debut work!!

Page 10
Mei: So it's not unreasonable to say that my award is all thanks to you---!!
K: No, no, that's the result of your own hard work and talent...
M: ...Here you are.
Mei: Thank you, little miss.
M: ...

Page 11
Mei: ---Hey.
Mei: Sensei, she's not your child, is she!?
K: Huh!?
K: Ah...yeah.
K: Of course not.
Mei: Ah!! So she's the daughter of a relative!?
Mei: It must be hard to take care of such a small child!!

Page 12
K: Ah...no---
M: ...
K: How should I put it...um---
K: Misaki is the daughter of my former teacher---
Mei: Daughter of your former teacher---?

Page 13
K: Misaki, you're coming too, right?
M: Huh?
K: To the dinner with Kashiwagi-sensei and his daughter.
M: Y...yeah.

Page 14
M: ...
K: Night.
M: Good night.
Mei: The daughter of his former teacher?

Page 15
Is that why he has no choice but to look after you?
But don't you think that you're a really big burden on Kurose-sensei?
Since you're nothing more to him than the daughter of his teacher.

Page 16
Mei: I don't think he is obligated to take the responsibility...
Mei: And don't you have any thoughts about being a burden to him?
Voice: ---Ki.
Voice: ---Saki.
M: But---

Page 17
Misaki!!
Are you ok?

Page 18
K: What's wrong?
K: You had quite the nightmare.
M: No...it's nothing...
K: ...

Page 20
I know.

Page 21
M: Are you going out?
K: Yeah...

Page 22
K: I'm going to respectfully decline Kashiwagi-sensei's dinner invitation.
M: Huh...?
K: I could do it on the phone,
But that seems a bit...
M: Ah...
If it's about me---

Page 23
...It's very important to me.
This relationship I have with you.

K: Oh, I was just thinking about how I should end the current novel...
K: I'm expected to write happy endings...
M: Rather than being expected to write them, I think happy endings rather suit your stories.
K: Is that so...
K: Hm...

M: Hello?
Phone: Ah...so you're a female detective after all...damn.
Phone: Judging from the name Kuroe, I knew it was no good...
M: Hmph.
M: ...What a thing to say.
What's wrong with being a female detective?

Man: Well--- What I need help with is...
Man: ...No, I guess I can't just tell anyone ater all---

M: Didn't you call me because you need my powers?

Asakura: Are you...Kuroe?

Asakura: What the heck...
Asakura: Not only a female, but also a child...
The gods sure have given up on me.
M: How rude.
I'll have you know that I'm a very capable detective.
Asakura: I also heard you are a master of martial arts...
M: Th-that's right.
M: Would you like to test it out?
Asakura: ...
No, it's fine...

Page 9
Asakura: Sigh---
M: What is it? Why don't you just try telling me about it?
M: You called me because of some trouble right? I will help you out magnificently.
Asakura: ...
Asakura: ...Recently, a girl that I know is acting strange...
Asakura: She is associating with a weird man, and going in and out of shady places---
M: If it's about drugs, that's not what I specialize in. Go to the police for that.

Page 10
Asakura: No, it's something more strange than that---
Asakura: Ah... Although you probably won't believe me...
Asakura: A...anyway, take a look at this.
SFX: *Beep*
SFX: *Flash*
M: ...What's this?
Asakura: Ah...

Asakura: N-no...this is not it.
It's a file for my work---

Asakura: Yeah...I'm a gravure photographer...
M: I see.
Asakura: ---Ok, it's this.
SFX: *Press press*
Asakura: It's this man who...

Page 12
M: ...This man is a vampire...
Asakura: Huh...!?
Just now, what did you---!?
M: I said that he's a vampire.
Asakura: Yo...
Asakura: You know about them...!?
M: I'm a specialist in that area.

Page 13
Asakura: A...are you sure about that...!?
M: Yes... ...You've been very hesitant about the whole thing for a while now.
M: Isn't that because you also think so?
Asakura: Yeah, that's it!!
Asakura: ...I couldn't believe it at first...
Asakura: But the more I think about it---
Asakura: Oh but...vampires shouldn't really exist, right!?
SFX: *Flip*
M: Wait a second, I'll try asking an acquaintance of mine.

Page 14
M: ---I see, thank you.
M: If the man is not part of his blood family...
M: Then he must be an Orphan.
Asakura: Orphan?
M: They are outlaws within the vampire society.
Asakura: Wh...where did you---!?
M: Didn't I tell you?
M: I'm a specialist in this area.
M: Anyway, take me to the place that he appears frequently.

Page 15
M: There's no need to worry.
M: She won't become a vampire by just having her blood sucked.
Asakura: Is...is that so?
Asakura: Although if she loses a fatal amount, she'll become an undead...
M: She will only become a vampire when there is an exchange of blood.
M(thought): It would be nice if she wasn't made into a Renfield...

Page 16
M: I think she is only charmed and used as a source of feeding for him.
Asakura: Damn it...what the hell!?
M: Is this the place?
Asakura: Yeah.
Asakura: He appears often---
Asakura: Ah!!

Page 17
Asakura: That's him...!!
Asakura: He's going inside the building...
M: We're in luck.
Asakura: What are you planning to do?
M: Quickly get in, and advise him to not hurt that girl.
Asakura: Huh...wha...!?

Page 18
M: Hey, you vampire!!
Man: ...

Page 19
M: Kyah...!!
Asakura: Kuroe...!!
Man: Hm...

Page 20
...Asakura!!

Page 21
Man: Hmph.
M: Are you ok!?
Asakura: Kuroe...
Asakura: Forget me and go after him...!!
M: But---
Asakura: Hurry!!
Asakura: Or he'll get away...!!
M: I'll be back soon!!

Page 22
Man: ...Geez.
Man: I must be losing my touch if a brat like this can track me down...
M: D...
M: Don't underestimate me just because I'm a little girl.
M: I'm a stronger vampire than you are!!
Man: !!
Man: ...What did you say?

Page 23
M: I told you, don't underestimate me!!
Man: Hmph...I thought you were just a brave brat, but now I see...
Man: Interesting...it's been a while since I've met a fellow vampire.
Man: Where did you hear about me?
M: I...I'm an excellent detective, you Orphan!!
Man: Hahaha, a detective who challenges a vampire with a wooden stick.
Even though we're the same, that's still reckless.
Man: Little girl vampires with no Aruta, TN: Aruta is the special powers possessed by elder vampires.
Are nothing more than puppies to me, young lady.
M: H...how dare you!!

Page 24
Man: Hmph...I guess Absorbire once in a while is ok. TN: Absorbire is equivalent of vampire cannibalism.

K: Are you alright, Misaki?
M: ...Kuroe!?

K: Geez...
K: I knew it was something like this.
M: How...!?
K: Through the GPS on your cellphone.
M: Ah...!?
M: Hold on, you can't die!!
Asakura: Oof...
K: Because Kuroe's stories always have happy endings!!

Page 27
Asakura: It's...no good. Kuroe... I'm already bleeding so much...
M: You're not!!
M: You're not bleeding!!
Asakura: Huh...?
Asakura: Ah...
Asakura: Wha..t?
Asakura: The bullet---

Page 28
Asakura: Huh...?
K: Kuroe would actually be me.
K: Sorry for causing you all that trouble.
Asakura: Th...
Then this girl is---!?
M: Sorry that I lied to you.
M: My real name is Misaki, and not Kuroe.
Asakura: Misaki...chan?

Page 29
K: In order to make up for the trouble,
K: How about if I charge you nothing for the overhead expenses and the commission fee?
Asakura: Ah...no---
Asakura: In the end, you did solve the case for me, so...
M: It was nice doing business with you.
Asakura: Y...yeah.

Page 30
K: ...Then we will be excusing ourselves now.
Asakura: Ah...
Asakura: Misaki-chan.
Asakura: Hey---
Asakura: You should...become a model.

Page 31
M: I'll think about it.
M: ...But there's a big hurdle.
K: A model for a gravure photographer?
M: He's not a bad person.

M(thought): He's so quick, like usual...
M: Huh...?
M(thought): I don't have...Kuroe's package!?
M: Ah...

Page 6
M: Wait...why do you have it---!?
K(thought): It's strange after all...
K(thought): She's taking too long...
M: Huff
M: Huff
M(thought): That was a hard battle...

Page 7
You better remember it!!
I will really beat you up next time!!
...Oh.
This is not the time to do something like this!

SFX: Pin Poong *TL's Note: Typical Japanese doorbell SFX
M(thought): Hm...?
M(thought): Is he not here?
---But that shouldn't be the case...
M(thought): Maybe he's resting in the lobby.

Page 9
I even looked in the station, but she's not anywhere...

Page 10
M(thought): Hm...
M(thought): It doesn't look like he's anywhere around here...
M(thought): Ah.
M(thought): Cellphone, cellphone...
M(thought): ...
I forgot it...

Page 11
Phone: Riiiing
Phone: Riiiing...
K(thought): ...
K(thought): She's not picking up either...
K(thought): Could she have been in an accident---!?

Page 12
M(thought): Hm...
M(thought): I don't think he would have gone out...
M(thought): I wonder if he's taking a nap...
M(thought): Even though he's isolating himself...
SFX: Pin Poong
M(thought): ...He's not here after all...
Behind: Misaki-chan.

Page 13
M: Ah...!! Matsuda-san.
Matsuda: Good night.
Matsuda: Are you out on an errand?
M: I was going to, but...
M: It seems like he's not in...
Matsuda: Ah...is sensei not there? *Writers are referred to as sensei.
M: Yes...
Matsuda: Wait a little bit,
I'll bring the key.

Page 14
Sly: Misaki?
K: Yeah, did you happen to see her!?
Sly: Well, she didn't come this way.
Sly: Larry, do you know anything?
Sly: Doesn't seem like it.
K: I...I see.
If you see her, please let me know.

Page 15
Matsuda: Ah...
Matsuda: So he really is not here.
Matsuda: This isn't good, there's no time...
M: I'll warn him for next time.
Matsuda: I wonder if he went shopping?
M: That Kuroe, even though that's the reason he sent me for the errand.

Page 16
K+M: Ah!
K: Misaki...!!
M: Kuroe, don't run away like that.
K: Eh?
Matsuda: That's right sensei, you barely have any time left.

Page 17
K: A...ah.
K: I'm sorry...
Matsuda: Then, I'll be going back to the company. Please do your work properly.
M: I'll watch him closely this time.
Matsuda: I'll leave it to you, Misaki-chan.
M: Ok!!
K: ...

Page 18
K: I was worried about you.
M: But being late for an hour or two is not big deal00
K: That's not the problem.
M: Then what's the problem?

Page 19
K: ...
K: That's---
K(thought): You're neither siblings nor parent and child.
If you're not lovers, then what are you!?
M: I'm so tired from running around.
K: It's still too early for bed though.
M: I will cheer you on like this.

Page 20
Is it because she was left in my care---?
Is that the only reason---?

Page 21
Work, work.

Page 22
Phone: Well then, we have your manuscript. Good work.
K: Alright.
Phone: ...Speaking of which, is Misaki-chan still there?
K: Yeah.
Matsuda: Just as I thought, rather than being alone, sensei works much better when Misaki-chan is around.
K: ...

Page 23
K: Well...
M: Zzz---
K: I wonder...
Matsuda: That again. https://mangahelpers.com/t/cookie-on-fire/releases/21680 [English] [Translation] Blood Alone 30 by cookie_on_fire 2010-04-17T06:58:32+00:00 cookie_on_fire admin@mangahelpers.com Reserved for Trinity BAKumA. Do not use without my permission.

M stands for Misaki, K stands for Kuroe, H stands for Higure

Page 1
Um-Excuse me.
Ah...
You are Misaki, just like I thought.

Page 2
M: Kuroe!!
M: I brought someone interesting!
M: Ta-da!!
K: ...Johnny...?
Johnny: Hey.
Johnny: Kuroe...

Page 3
K: It's been a while, Johnny!!
K: Why are you in Japan!?
Johnny: Well...
A lot happened.
Johnny: In any case, Misaki, you sure became like an adult since the last time I saw you.
I couldn't recognize you at first.
M: That's not true.
M: I didn't change at all.

Page 4
Johnny: That's not what I'm saying.
It's more like you are displaying some inner beauty.
Johnny: You used to be cute, but now you're also beautiful.
M: What are you saying?
Johnny: No, it's true.
Johnny: I can tell because I haven't seen you in a while.
Johnny: Although people near you probably don't realize it.
K: ...
K: ...At any rate, how is Jessie doing?

Page 5
Johnny: Ah...my sister, huh.
Johnny: Well...fine, I guess.
K: ...
M(thought): Huh...?
M(thought): Kuroe just changed the subject in an unnatural way...
Johnny: ...But rather than that, I want to talk about Misaki.
If I were you, I would never let go of a girl like her.
K: ...Oi.
Johnny: It's fine, isn't it? I haven't seen her in a while.
Johnny: I'm happy that I get to see her again.
K: ...

Page 6
M(thought): ...Could Kuroe be jealous?
M: ...
M: ...It's true that Johnny has also become a wonderful man since the last time I saw him.
Johnny: I know, right?
K: ...I wonder. You still have some childishness left in you.
Johnny: Well, I'm different from before.
M: Yeah--
M: What are you going to do today, Johnny?
M: Would you like to stay here?
Johnny: Hm...I wonder if I should sweet-mouth myself into staying here...

Page 7
K: ...
M: I'll sleep elsewhere today.
K: Eh!?
K: Well...
K: Don't tell me, you're going to Johnny's----
M: What are you talking about? I'm going to my own room, of course.
M: He'll think it's weird if I sleep with you.
K: Ah...you're right.

Page 8
M: Good night.
K: Ah...yeah, good night.
Johnny: Kuroe...
Johnny: Can I talk to you for a bit...?
K: ...!!
Johnny: A...actually, I---
K: Wa...wait!! Misaki is off-limits!
It's still too---
Johnny: ...?
What are you talking about?

Page 9
K: It's just---
Johnny: ?
K: You wanted to consult me?
Johnny: yeah...
Johnny: Actually...I had a big fight with Jessie...
K: I thought it was strange...
K: But how come...? You two were so close.
Johnny: That's because---

Page 10
H: I don't understand, Sophia.
H: Why did you choose a human, who is so different from you...
Sophia: I'm thinking the same thing...
Sophia: ...But it's the first time I feel this way...
K: Your lover is a vampire!?
Johnny: Yeah.
K: That's indeed---
Cause for a fight...

Page 11
Sophia: Both of his parents were killed by our vampires...
H: ...But it has nothing to do with you, right?
Sophia: That's true...
Sophia: But as a vampire, I feel responsible.
Sophia: Also, his sister was strongly against our relationship.
Sophia: It's only natural that she would think of us vampires as monsters.
Johnny: This is Sophia---

Page 12
K: Well...um...it seems like...besides the fact that she's a vampire...there are also...other problems...
Johnny: Why not!?
She has lived many times my lifespan.
Johnny: It's fine as long as she doesn't turn evil.
And she also has absolutely nothing to do with Sparuda. *The vampire assassins guild.
Johnny: She has simply suppressed her loneliness throughout the years.
Johnny: You would understand, right?
Johnny: Because of your relationship with Misaki.
K: Eh...!?

Page 13
K: ...Wait a second, we don't really have that kind of relationship----
Johnny: Huh...?
Johnny: Then what kind is it?
Johnny: What would it be, if you're not lovers!?
Johnny: You're neither siblings nor father and daughter, yet you two live together like this---
Johnny: And you claim to be not lovers!?
K: I...have to take responsibility for the fact Misaki turned into a vampire---
Johnny: Responsibility...!? Is that all? Are you sure that's all!?
K: That is---

Page 14
K: What will you do...from now on?
Johnny: I was thinking that maybe you could try to convince Jessie...
K: It won't make a difference...even if I say anything---
Johnny: ...I guess you're right after all...
K: Besides Jessie, there's also the problem of being a vampire...
Johnny: There won't be any problems.

Page 15
Johnny: I've already prepared myself!! As long as I'm with her, I'm willing go anywhere!!
K: ...
K: ...Where is your girlfriend right now?
Johnny: ...She's in Japan with me...
Johnny: Although she did say that she was a distant relative of a vampire...whose name was Higure or something---
K: Higure...?

Page 16
...This won't work after all...
Since it's forbidden love...

Page 17
Johnny: That's not true!!
Sophia: Johnny...

Page 18
Johnny: You're the only one I want!!
Sophia: But---
Johnny: For your sake---In order for me to be together with you,
I'll become your Renfield!!

Page 19
Sophia: ---!
Johnny: I love you!!

Page 20
...Me too.

M: What is going to happen to Johnny...?

K: Yeah.

K: Oof.
K: Ah.
M: Yay!

Page 4
Wah---it's so soft.
It's still warm from the sunlight. *TL's Note: The Japanese, on the most part, dry their laundry outside instead of using a dryer.
Mmmm.
...

Page 5
M: Bwah!!
M: Hot!!
K: What're you doing?
M: Hah----
M: Feels like I'll have a good dream.
M: The warmth makes me want to take a nap.

Page 6
M: And then it will be time for afternoon tea with elegance...
K: So in the end, you just feel like eating---?
M: I'm not a glutton you know.
M: Huh?
M: Kuroe, do you have time to clean?
K: Uh...well---

Page 7
M: I'll do it. You are busy with work, right?
K: R...really?
M: Leave it to me. I like using the vacuum cleaner.
M: Go do work, work!

Page 8

Mmm...

Page 9
M: Oh? Are you done with work, now that you are watching a movie?
K: Uh...
K: I'm not making any progress in my writing, so...

Page 10
M: I see, so you've hit a wall?
K: Well, it's not that bad, but...
M: I'll keep you company then.
K: That's ok...but this movie is scary you know.
M: So?

M: !!
M: ...

Page 13
SFX: Knock knock
M: ...
M: ...Kuroe, you are not going to sleep yet?
K: Yeah- I thought I should at least try to see if I can get any farther in this.

Page 14
M: ...
K: Why are you up at this hour?
M: ...No reason.
K: ...
K: So you can't sleep because of the scary movie you watched?
M: Th-that's not it!!
M: I...I just wanted to check if you are doing your work properly!
K: I'm grateful for that.

Page 15
M: I'll sit behind you like an editor and make you nervous.
K: Hahaha!

Page 16
M: ...What's wrong?
K: I'm going to get a bit of coffee.
K: ...
M: What?
K: It's nothing.

Page 17
K: Misaki, do you want something---
K: Black tea...will make you not be able to fall asleep you know.
M: It's fine, I'll do it myself.

Page 18
SFX: *Nod*

Page 19

Page 20
K(thought): She sure is strange, even though she has experienced things much scarier than that...
K(thought): That's right...something much more scary...
M: Nn...

Page 21
Good night.

Page 22
Yawn...

Page 23
K: Good morning.
M: ...Morning.
M: What time is it?
K: The sun has set already.

Page 24
M: ...It feels like I saw a lot of scary dreams...
K: Eh?
M: Ah...no!
M: I mean that my dreams were just bad.
M: Sigh...
It would definitely be more cheerful if I get up in the morning.

Page 25
M: Why is it that vampires are weak to sunlight?
Don't you think it's more romantic if we can't be under moonlight?
K: That would make you a werewolf.
M: I think I'll make a cute werewolf.
K: But you know---rather than a wolf, you feel more like an unpredictable cat.
K: You're full of curiosity, but that works against you.

Page 26
M: You are somehow right in the way you describe it.
K: ...Should I lend you a werewolf movie next time?
M: ...No thank you. I'm not interested. https://mangahelpers.com/t/cookie-on-fire/releases/21091 [English] [Translation] Blood Alone 28 by cookie_on_fire 2010-03-28T05:38:27+00:00 cookie_on_fire admin@mangahelpers.com Reserved for Trinity BAKumA. Do not use without my permission.

M: Ow ow ow...
K: Misaki...!?
M: Ah!

K: Why are you running away?
M: Ah...
M: Wai...!
M: Eh!? Ooe-sensei!? *TL's Note: She's a writer, and writers are referred to by sensei as well.
K: Are you surprised?

Page 6
Ooe: ...?
K: She's a huge fan of yours.
M: I didn't know that Ooe-sensei is an acquaintance an unskillful author like Kuroe!
K: "Unskilled" is a bit harsh.
M: I also read your newest book!!
M: It was really good!!
Ooe: Thank you.

Page 7
M: Ah, you must think that I'm acting stupidly...!!
M: It's because I never dreamed I could meet you like this...
K: What an exaggeration...
M: It's true. She's different from a trivial author like you.
K: ...You've been attacking me since a while ago...
M: ...I wonder why that is?
Phone: *vibrate*
K: ---Oh.
K: Excuse me for a bit---

Page 8
Ooe+M: ...
Ooe: ...You two get along pretty well.
M: Y...yes.
M: ...You could say we've known each other for a while...
Ooe: Do you trust Kurose-san?
M: Eh?
M: Yes...Well---
M(thought): With such a pretty person, I have to somehow flatter her...
M: Um...
Why do you ask---?

Page 9
Ooe: It's just that you gave me the impression of a wife finding out about her husband having an affair.
M: Th...that's not it!
M: I was just surprised that he was walking with such a pretty person---
Ooe: Is that so?
Ooe: ...Kurose-san seems like a reliable person...
Ooe: ---But my judgment isn't all that accurate.
M: Eh?
Ooe: Ah, sorry, how rude of me.
That's not it. By that, I meant that---

Page 10
Ooe: Recently I was betrayed by a person that I trusted very much...
M: ...
M: Um...Is that what you were talking about...?
Ooe: Yes...I just wanted someone who can listen...

Page 11
Ooe: There aren't many people I can talk to about things like that...
M: ...Is it...about love?
Ooe: No, that's not it. It's about work...
M: Work...
Ooe: Yes...perhaps problems with love would be easier to solve...
M: Is...that so?

Page 12
Ooe: I'm not one for love affairs...
Ooe: I don't care about things like that...
Ooe: But---
Ooe: To be an author---
Ooe: Is to dedicate my entire life to writing.
M: ...

Page 13
Ooe: ...I made my debut when I was a student.
Ooe: I started this job before I became famous.
Ooe: Knowing nothing of the world, I was still like a spoiled young lady.
M: ...
Ooe: ...Fufu, it's funny that I was so naive.
Ooe: That's why...I easily believed,
And was easily deceived.
M: ...
Ooe: I simply assumed that I can place my trust in people,
Ooe: And I was getting angry and depressed like an idiot...

Page 14
Ooe: I don't want to deceive, and I don't want to be betrayed...
Ooe: But the world wasn't made that way...
Just that fact...
Ooe: That simple fact took me so many years to finally understand.
I couldn't move on...
M: ---!!
Ooe: I'm not overly trusting, but I had no idea I was such a fragile person...

Page 15
Um...
Please...stop.
If I can't read any more of Ooe-sensei's works...
I will be very sad...

Page 16
...I'm sorry.

Page 17
Ooe: This time...
Ooe: I came close to betraying someone who believes in me...
M: ...Yes.
Ooe: Even though I claim to know everything about life,
To come to a standstill for something like this...

Page 18
You're right---
I need to do something about it.
...Thank you.

Page 19
Ooe: It's because people like you exist---
And people who think that way, that I'm able to continue writing.
M: ...Then---
Ooe: Yes..
Ooe: Don't worry...I won't stop.

Page 20
M: I'm glad...
Ooe: Oh no...I'm sorry.
Ooe: I shouldn't have said anything like that to you.
M: S, sorry.
I was the one being nosy...
Ooe: I wonder why? I wasn't planning to speak of such things...
Ooe: For some reason your presence is very reassuring...

Page 21
Ooe+M: ...
K: ...
K: ...Did Misaki say something weird?
M: Wha...why would that be?
Ooe: N, no, I was the one who said something weird---

Page 22
M: ...Kuroe, do you trust me?
K: ...
K: Why the sudden question?
M: Just answer.
K: Trust, huh...
I never really thought about it.
K: But I can tell right away when you are hiding something.
M: Hmph!
M: ...That's not what I'm talking about!

Page 23
M: I'm not such a shallow person.
M: Although I'm a vampire.
K: There are things about me that you don't know about.
M: When it comes to certain things, you're much slower than you think.
K: Is that so?
K: Something that I don't know about...
K: Is there such a thing?
M: Of course there is---

Page 24
And that is...
How I love Kuroe very much!

Page 25
Thank you, young lady.

K+M: ...
Man: These are Higure-sama's words:
Man: "I want you to repay your debt".

Page 9
H: The criminal seems highly skilled.
H: I don't mind taking care of it myself, but the enemey is quite shrewd,
H: And won't appear in front of me or any others who are direct descendants of vampires.
H: Weaker vampires will only fall prey.
H: I don't want to make any more sacrifices.
K: So you want me to do it?
H: That's right.

Page 10
H: So far everyone killed has been of my blood family.
K: ...Who could be behind it?
H: I can't say anything for sure at this point.
H: There is one of my underlings that I can't get in contact with,
But I can't think that he's involved in this.
K: ...What about the Count?
H: He couldn't have done it.
H: If he did, it would have led to an all-out war.
H: And rogue Hunters wouldn't have any motives to attack either.

Page 11
K: But suppose that a Hunter is behind it, I won't be able to interfere if it turns out to be a human.
H: That can't be helped.
H: ...But you probably can catch the person without harming him.
K: It would be hard to present a human to a vampire.
H: But if the criminal hunts vampires indiscriminately,
H: It's possible that your precious girl will be targeted as well.
K: ...

Page 12
K: ---So, how will I catch him?
H: I created a false rumor.
H: I want you to ambush the criminal at the place mentioned.
K(thought): Sigh...It sure became a hassle...

Page 13
!?

Page 14
Hino: Kuh...!
K(thought): A vampire...
No...a Renfield?

Page 15
K: Tch...!
Hino(thought): That level of skill...is he a Hunter!?
Hino(thought): Shit...why is he a human...!?

Page 16
I see...
I was deceived...

Page 17
...He's too far away---
!!

Page 18
...
Fell for the same trick again...

Page 19
...Why is there a human on their side---
Does that mean they know my every movement...?

Page 20
...I should know this already...
That even if I do the same thing over and over again, it would be meaningless...
Even if it's the same blood, getting it from vampires of a lower class is no good...
If the blood...
Is much stronger---

Page 21
K: It was a Renfield.
K: He has the same powers that you do.
H: ...
H: Only Elders can use Aruta*. *Unique powers used only by the Elders of each blood family.
H: To have it transferred to a regular Renfield---
H: Wait---
H: Could it be, it's her---

Page 22
Maria: !!
Hino: You must be Maria-san.
Hino: I am a servant of Higure-sama---

Page 23
H: ...Maria?
H: ...Ok, got it.
K: What happened?
H: Maria was kidnapped.
K: Maria!?
H: It seems like a plan to lure me out.

Page 24
H: What are you going to do? You fulfilled your objectives.
You may get off here if you wish.
K: ...No. I have a debt to repay.
K: And Maria is important to us too.
H: Heh...What a human-like way of thinking.
H: Well, that's good to hear. You'll probably be useful.
K: Who is the enemy?
H: The Renfield of a high-level vampire.
H: Because of the blood, he can also use Aruta.
No wonder the lower-leveled vampires fell prey to him.

Page 25
I've been waiting!!

Page 26
H: Let Maria go.
Hino: Listen to my demands first!!

So she passed away first...

Hino: No!!
Hino: Your blood...Since you're the head of the blood family, if I use your blood---
H: ...

Hino: ...

Page 36
H: ...She used up her blood and died...
H: No matter whose blood is shed,
H: A lamp without a candle can never be lit again...
Hino: It's a lie...A lie---

Page 37
H: This happened a long time ago.
K: ...
H: I met her just around the time I returned to this country...

Page 38
H: She was a girl who contracted a widespread disease,
H: ...And was simply waiting for her death...
H: I either pitied her situation,
Or simply wanted company...

Page 39
Without knowing how she felt about it.
What was I thinking...
I can't avoid talking about this now...

Page 40
She was peculiar...Perhaps it's because she faced death once already...
But without succumbing to her own thirst for blood, she continuously gave out blood---
Life to the Renfields.

K: I got you involved in something troublesome the other day, sorry about that.
Sayaka: So you're treating me to your homemade cooking as an apology?
K: It's my "Special Dish" you know.
K: Or would you rather we go to an expensive restaurant for dinner?
Sayaka: No, this is fine.

Page 4
K: It'll be done soon so wait just a bit more.
Sayaka: ...Now that I think about it, where's Misaki?
K: She's staying at Higure---
K: A friend's house for the night.
Sayaka: I see...

Page 5
Sayaka(thought): Huh...?
Sayaka: ---!
K: Ok, sorry for the wait.

Kuroe's Special---
Sainome...?

I---

Page 8
Sayaka: Where...huh?
K: You're in your own room.
K: You collapsed in my house.
K: It's probably a cold.
Sayaka: I...see.
Sayaka: Now that I think about it...I felt sick since this morning...
Sayaka: ...Sorry for the trouble.
K: Don't worry about it, it's no big deal.

Page 9
Sayaka: ...Huh?
Sayaka: These pajamas---?
K: Yeah, I thought it wouldn't do to leave you like that,
So I changed your clothes for you.
Sayaka: What...!?
Sayaka: Ch...changed my clothes!?
K: I'm kidding.
K: You don't remember doing it yourself?

Page 10
Sayaka: Oh...really?
K: Your memory must be hazy due to the fever.
K: Ok, warm yourself up and go to sleep.
K: I'll be in the living room.
K: Call out to me if you need anything.
Sayaka: Ok...

Oh...no.

Sayaka: Kuroe...?
Sayaka: No...
You...can't.
K: ---Oof.
K: Hey,
K: No need to struggle...
Sayaka: I said you can't---
K: Calm down---

Page 14
Sayaka: No---
K: Sainome...

Page 15
K: You still have quite a fever.
K: And you're sweating a lot...
K: You need a change of clothes.
Sayaka: No...Kuroe.
Sayaka: You can't...do something like this.
K: It's alright. Leave it to me.

Page 16
Sayaka: You can't...
K: Sayaka*---
*TL's Note: Kuroe has always called her by her last name, so using the first name shows a degree of intimacy.
Sayaka: Ah...!

Sayaka: Last night---
Sayaka(thought): You can't...

K: Sainome...

Sayaka: !!
K: Hm...Still seems a bit hot.
K: And your face looks really red.
Sayaka: R...really?
K: I'll make something light---
K: Like okayu*, so go lie down while you wait. *Sort of like rice porridge. What the Japanese typically eat when they're sick.

Sayaka: ...
Sayaka: Uh, um...
Sayaka: Last night---
K: Yeah, you collapsed in the kitchen.
Sayaka: Yeah...
Sayaka: I remember...

Sakaya: ...

Sayaka: No, it's nothing.

K: You should take some medicine and rest a bit more after you finish eating.
K: There's lots of time. And I'll be here till evening.

K: It's alright. I caused you trouble before.
K: This is my way of making it up to you for what happened.

K: Tell me if there's anything you need.
Sayaka: Kuroe...
K: Yeah?

Page 24
Sayaka: Um, that's not...
Sayaka: That's why...if you do anything more---
K: Hm?

We won't do anything bad to you if you do that.

K: Tip-off---!?

K(memory): Do you remember Kairdorf?
K(thought): ...Don't tell me it was Lady...!?
K(thought): That woman...!!
She wasn't just there to check up on me!!
K(thought): She would do that...
Mev: You know,
Mev: We weren't really interested in revenge.
Mev: But seeing you personally,
Mev: For some reason I'm filled with anger.

Page 18
Mev: I wonder if it's because of my desire for blood!!
K: Stop...!! I couldn't avoid fighting him!
K: I don't have any negative feelings toward him anymore!!
Mev: Even if there are none from you,
I have plenty!!

Mev: Too bad.

Mev: ---!
Liv: We will have no regrets if Kaird--our father was defeated by someone stronger than he.
Liv: It's just---
Liv: We just have one wish. We want to know about his last moments.

I see...
To alleviate bordom, he probably desired to fight and die like a knight.

Liv: Here,
Liv: Is where it ends.
Mev: You're going to forgive him!?
Liv: I heard what I wanted to hear...I'm satisfied.

Aoi: I was simply ordered to offer you the best possible hospitality.
M: I can't stay here long! I have someone who's worried about me!
Aoi: Do not worry. The message should arrive anytime now.
M: Message...that's not the problem right now!
M: I already told you, I have to go back now!

K: The Count?
Higure: Remember the trouble we had before in the neutral territory*? TL's Note: Refer to ch. 9 of the manga.
Higure: He is the nobility that I mentioned that time.
Higure: He is also like me.
There are other elders who control adjoining lands too you know.
Higure: Really, from where did he know about Misaki...?
Higure: -No. I guess it's not really strange that he knows...
Higure: ...Sigh.

Page 22
Higure: This is going to be a lot of trouble, having caught his eye like that...He is one formidable foe.
Higure: He's the type who would get what he wants through brute force.
Higure(thought): Best be careful

Man: ...
Man: You have very good power of observation.
Man: I am here to deliver a message from your young lady who is now under our care.
K: ...!! Misaki!?
Man: She no longer wishes to return to you.
Man: Instead she decided to live with our master-
K: ...!?

Page 25
K: ...What are you saying?
Man: Exactly as I said.
K: Don't be stupid. There's no way she would say that-!
Man: Even though your perception is very good, you are unskilled at reading people's hearts.
Man: After hearing master's words, she realized it.
How it's irrational and unnatural it to be with you.
Man: She is a vampire.
-From a rare and noble clan at that.

Page 26
Man: Compared with a human like you,
Man: It is far more natural for her to be with us vampires, don't you think?
K: Don't be stupid-!!
Man: This is message, and also a warning.
She decided to be with us.
Man: Any attempts at taking her back will be futile.

Page 27
K: !!
Man: Listen-
Do not try to deceive us, even in your dreams.
Man: ...For instance, who you are.

Page 28
M: Ah, you...!!
Count: Ah my lady.
Count: Sorry I used a bit of violence before.
M: What are you trying to do!?
Count: Don't get angry.

Page 29
Count: You could say it was love at first sight.
Count: I became interested in you.
Count: I wanted you to be mine no matter what.
M: Wha...!
Count: That is why,
Count: I want you to live with me, honey-<3
M: Huh?

Page 30
M: Are you an idiot!?
M: If you make me do that, I will be angry!
M: Don't be stupid and left me go!!
Count: I guess I'm rushing it a bit too much.
Count: There's plenty of time for us to get to know each other. In fact, we almost have too much time.
Man: Master...
Count: Later, my sweet.
M: Wait...I'm still talking-!!

Page 31
You sure are early.

Page 32
Count: I thought you would have hesitated more.
Count: You sure made up your mind very quickly.
Man: Too bad...
Man: That you decided to not heed my warning...

Page 33
Count: It's alright.
Count: I will be his opponent.
K: ...
K: What is your objective?
Count: Of course that young lady of yours.

Page 34
Count: Two people...
Count: Just two people-
Count: As far as I know, they are the only vampires possessing the Adivuarat Kurai* ability exist. *TL's Note: Eyes that see the truth
Their numbers are very few.
Count: -However, there is one vampire among us who is the most famous.
Count: Misaki is the third person.
Count: They are a rare species.
It's not strange at all to want her for myself.

Page 35
Count: Furthermore, the interesting thing is that even though she is an elder, I can't feel her powers.
This is just my conjecture, but she may have gone through a slight rebirth.
Count: Very unique.
K: Enough with this talk. Bring Misaki here.
Count: Don't be so hasty.
Who said anything about giving her back just like that?
Count: You have to pay a price...For instance-
Count: How about telling me the whereabouts of the blood parent who made her a vampire?
Count: What do you think?

Page 36
K: ...
K: ...It's useless.
K: I won't be fooled by your words.
Count: ...
Count: Too bad.
Count: Although wouldn't I be helping you?
By leaving her in my care.

Page 37
Count: Aren't you chasing after him? The man with the eyes that see the truth...
Count: Wouldn't she be quite a burden?
Count: You can't just abandon such a weak girl to chase him.
Also, in addition to the possibility of having her controlled by the blood parent, it's also risky to take her along.

Page 38
K: ...That's out of the question.
Count: A negotiation failure?
K: I have no intentions of more time here-

Page 39
...Too bad.

Page 40

Better than I expected.
You are the first human who have defeated all of my clones.
I see it's an ability to manipulate time.
It's true that it's a troublesome ability-

Page 45
Count: I wonder,
If you can defeat us?
K: ...The ability to create doubles huh...

Page 46
...If you are prepared-
If you are prepared to return to ashes-
Then come.

Page 47
...Let's stop.
What started out as fun and games would soon get out of hand.

Page 48
Count: It lasted only a short while but it's been a while since I've had this much fun.
K: ...
Count: She's in the inner room of the second floor.
Count: You can take her back.

Adivuarat Kurai
The vampired who turned Misaki into one of his own, and also abducted Kuroe's sister. According to the Count, he is one of the two vampires in existence with the unique power of the eyes. Could Misaki be the third...?

Einseigrad Sparuda (image: The Red Sword...)
A vampire assassins guild. Kuroe came across them several times before in Europe.

Renfield (image: ...Slaves huh)
Humans who have consumed the blood of vampires. They become half immortal and do the biddings of their blood parents.

Image 1:
This guy-!!
He's an elder!

Straruda is both a vampire's "will" and its power.
It won't make much of a difference for us elders...
But for younger vampires, they are more likely revert back to their true natures.

Image 3:
Kiss...
...me.

Blood kin
Vampires who share the same Straruda.

Aruhiek
Known as the elders. Their numbers are few, and all of them possess some kind of strong power.

Straruda
Contained within vampires' blood, it is both their "will" and power. Makes them want to drink blood.

Rebirth
The rebirth of vampires.

Aruta
Powers possessed by the elders. It is different depending on the blood kin.

Farumek
A vampire's ability to hypnotize their opponents. Unlike Renfields, this effect is only temporary. https://mangahelpers.com/t/cookie-on-fire/releases/19007 [English] [Translation] Blood Alone 23 by cookie_on_fire 2010-01-17T05:03:24+00:00 cookie_on_fire admin@mangahelpers.com This is not to be used by anyone outside of Trinity BAKumA without my permission.

M: Huh?
M(thought): This mirror is strange...it's reflecting the shop but not me...
From behind: Vampires-
M: !!
Woman: Are not reflected in mirrors they say. I wonder if it's true?

Page 7
Woman: Isn't the mirror interesting?
M: Ah, I'm sorry...
Woman: It's alright young lady.
Woman: You are our first customer today.
Woman: The mirror you were just looking at- They call it the Mirror of Love.
Woman: It will only reflect a couple who are mutually in love.
Isn't it strange?

Page 8
M: Mutual love...?
Woman: Oh? It looks like you don't believe me.
M: N, no, that's not it...
Woman: Hm...
Woman: Alright, I will specially lend it to you for just one night <3
M: ...
Woman: You will know if it works or not when you try it yourself.
Go on and test it on your special person.

Page 9
M: ...
M(thought): I was swayed by the atmosphere and actually borrowed it...
M(thought): It sounded like she was lying...
M(thought): Although supposing it's real...then how does it know people's true

feelings...?
From behind: What's that?

Page 10
M: Ah...
K: Hm?
M: Ku, kuroe...

Page 11
M(thought): -!
K: Huh?
K: What a strange mirror...

Page 12
K: It's reflecting everything in the room except for us.
K: This is weird...
Is it a prop used for some kind of magic trick?
M: Y, yeah...something like that.
M(thought): Huh!?

Page 13
Why is there no reflection!?

Page 14
Woman: ...
Woman: Oh?

Page 15
M(thoguht): It doesn't reflect anyone else either...
M(thought): I guess she was lying about the Mirror of Love...Like Kuroe said, it's

probably just a prop after all.
M: !!

Page 16
!!
Y, you...
Larry!? *TL's Note: Sly's cat. Refer to ch.1 of the manga.
Wh...
Why...?

Page 17
M: ?
M(thought): Why is Larry reflected?
M: ...
M: Why you!!!

Page 18
Woman: Ah, welcome!
M: Um...
Woman: Oh that's right, I'm sorry young lady.
M: Huh?

Page 19
M: Mirror of Servants?
Woman: Yes.
Woman: Long ago, servants used this mirror to find their masters.
M: Servants?
Woman: That's right- The mirror clearly shows the master-servant relationships

between people.
Woman: The one with the mirror is the servant.

Page 20
Woman: What's wrong?
M: It's nothing...
M: There are just things that I still don't understand...
M(thought): Why is Larry the master...?
Woman: Here it is.
Woman: This is the real Mirror Of Love.
M: ...
Woman: Don't worry, this time it's definitely the right one.

Page 21
Woman: Huh?
Woman: How silly of me!
This Mirror of Mayhem could be troublesome, since it reflects rivals...

Page 22
Woman: Um~~
Woman: There is no mistake this time.
Woman: This is the genuine Mirror of Love.
M: ...
Woman: Do you want to borrow it?

Page 23
M: I'm back-
K: Welcome back.
K: You seem happy.
M: I found a very interesting shop.
M(thought): I don't need a mirror after all.

Page 24
K: What is it?
M(thought): It would be boring if I knew
M: It's nothing~ https://mangahelpers.com/t/cookie-on-fire/releases/18979 [English] [Translation] Blood Alone 21 by cookie_on_fire 2010-01-16T02:58:22+00:00 cookie_on_fire admin@mangahelpers.com This is not to be used by anyone outside of Trinity BAKumA without my permission.

M(thought): That's not it!

K: Hm?
M(thought): I have to tell him
M: Um...
M(thought): I want him to stay home today!

Page 11
M: It's a promise then!
M: I will dress up for it!

M(thought): I have to say it
M(thought): It's scary...that's why, don't go!
M: Kuroe...
K: !
M(thought): He's going...!
M: Have a good day at work! Be careful...

Page 13
Baka baka baka!!
Why couldn't I just be honest and say it!?
"I'm scared of the thunder, so don't go!"
Then he might have stayed!

K: Lately I've left her all alone quite a lot.
K: I should treat her today...

Caledwlch:

I will never allow you to run off.

Background (Caledwlch):

Grab!

//

Caledwlch:

You’re the bait, whose purpose is to fish him out.

Before that happens, I will treat you nicely.

//

Caledwlch:

I only have one request. That is for him to display the same power using those eyes of his that injured me the last time.

… But I have no other choice if it can only be done by exchanging your life with it.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Page 12

Kuroe:

Leave your hands off her.

Caledwlch:

This is so unexpected. I thought I have personally inflicted a life threatening injury, and yet you survived.

//
Caledwlch:

But … What are you going to do now?

//

Caledwlch:

Speaking of which, I do have a hostage at hand.

Background:

Kuroe:

You’re right.

Kuroe:

… I am the Magician,

//

Kuroe:

Kuroe.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Page 18

Caledwlch:

… This is interesting. Even though I have no idea on what had happened. Physical appearance wise, there is no difference.

However, the feeling I get by looking at you is different from earlier.

Misaki:

Toss!

Kuroe:

Are you aware of the ‘Red Sword’ …

Caledwlch:

At present, this tragic group has already reduced to being mankind’s dog.

However I, Caledwlch, am still a part of that group.

//

Caledwlch:

And as a knight of ‘Red Sword’, we have no need for …

… Women and children to be our bargaining chips.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 20

Caledwlch:

The famous and well renowned magician …

Do you seriously expect the thing that you’re holding on your hand can stopped my sword?

Hoh … What an interesting thing you have there … So that is Chloe’s magic staff …

//



Caledwlch:

To think that he is able to fend off the first attack …

//

Caledwlch:

But what on earth happens after that …?

By right, he shouldn’t have the time to avoid the second attack.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 27

//

Caledwlch:

No …

All these are irrelevant …

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 28

Caledwlch:

Chloe, the limitless magician …

It doesn’t matter even if you are the fake or real one.

It is sufficient to know that you are indeed a worthy opponent to defeat.

This is great, Chloe!

It comes at a no surprise that your existence alone is dub as taboo …

//

Caledwlch:

This battle …

… Is something that I have long to sought after.

//

Caledwlch:

After being through countless battles with my fellow comrades, defeating countless strong opponents …

As times go on, I had thought there is no other way I could have enjoyed these battles any longer.

I have never thought that at this moment, I could still be exchanging sword blows …

Misaki …

Page 41

The Lady:

You really a cause of anxiety for me!

//

Kuroe:

‘Lady’ …

//

The ‘Lady’:

You are really a useless disciple that doesn’t grow up …

You wouldn’t use that ability until you are really forced into a corner.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Page 42

Kuroe:

… Is that Magician Chloe’s ‘World’?

The ‘Lady’:

As you have expected …

//

The ‘Lady’:

That is the gift that I’ve bestow to you.

If used appropriately, those blood sucking maggots aren’t worth facing against.

//

Kuroe:

When used appropriately … right?

//

Misaki:

Uh?

------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 43

Misaki:

Kuroe …?

Misaki:

Huh …?

No … I was just talking to myself …!

Misaki:

?

Jessie:

Just for a birthday, she had a suit specially tailored. And it takes only one day for it to wreck. How surprisingly unbelievable!

//

Kuroe:

No, that is …

Misaki:

I agreed. To think that I have taken the trouble to do that for him! How disappointing!

//

Jessie:

But, I am glad that the both of you are unharmed.

//

Kuroe and Misaki:

…

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Page 45

Misaki:

I am looking at you differently …

Kuroe:

…

//

Misaki:

I have always thought that Kuroe’s magic is a just plain talk.

//

Jessie:

Magic …?

//

Misaki:

Even though it is just questioning his moral integrity, he can indeed utilize magic!

That teabag incident … didn’t you demonstrate to me once?

//

Kuroe:

Hah hah …

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kuroe:

Then, keep your eyes on this tea spoon …

Background (spoon):

Wave!

//

Kuroe:

Later …

//

Misaki:

Hah!

Background (sugar cube):

Drop …!!

//

Misaki:

You hold onto the sugar cube with your left hand …!!

Kuroe:

That is why,

The trick is not to let them notice it.

//

Misaki:

Isn’t that the same as cheating!!

//

Kuroe:

Ho ho ho

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 47

Jessie:

That’s right …

Jessie:

Reiji-san is coming here to visit tonight!

Misaki:

Is that for real?

Hah …

This tires me out …!

Flop!

Kuroe:

It’s been tough for you,

You’ve helped me a lot.

Misaki:

Don’t mention it.

//

Misaki:

However it does get a bit lonely …

Without him fooling around …!

Kuroe:

Ho ho ho.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 51

//

Misaki:

He could be feeling insecure earlier …

//



Misaki:

Definitely …

//

Misaki:

With that earlier stubborn display, that should have been the case …

Kuroe:

That should be it …

Kuroe:
