On a rainy night a man heads home through the downpour as he walks he notices a figure collapsed on the ground concerned he approaches and asks if she's okay the girl weakly looks up at him and pleads for blood confused he hesitates finding her request bizarre monsters that drink human blood are called vampires he thinks to himself doubting the situation he contemplates calling an ambulance but pauses Wondering if she truly might be a vampire she begs again desperately promising she will do anything in return pathetic and utterly helpless she seems when he first encounters her
in the end he relents offering her his blood she thanks him fervently and introduces herself as sum and tells that she is a vampire she then asks how she might repay him he tells her it's unnecessary his humble demeanor surprising her she even questions if he might be a samurai Due to his calm and modest nature he reveals he's just an ordinary guy Su still in disbelief over his kindness kneels before for him and insists that he allow her to do something in return for he has saved her life he tries to explain that she
owes him nothing but ultimately he takes her back to his home unable to leave her out in the rain once inside she inquires if his roommates are around to which he responds that he lives alone since he is a bachelor Apologizing for the mess he admits he rarely has guests he introduces himself as yakuma Ren sumay still observing him tells him that he is a perfect human for a vamp vampire he notices that she's drooling and she playfully explains that vampires train every day to suck up humans eager to repay him she offers to help
with anything but yakumo insists there's nothing he needs sumay however uses her vampire abilities to scan his body and informs him that his blood Circulation is poor he acknowledges this attributing it to his sedentary job she immediately volunteers to give him a massage a suggestion that leavs him baffled yakuma protests saying it wouldn't be right since they've just met sumay however insists kneeling and gazing up at him with determination he reluctantly agrees she instructs him to relax lying on his back as she begins working on his shoulder muscles as she touches his back she remarks
on how Large he is and yakumo sheepishly admits that being so big is often more of a burden than a blessing as the massage progresses she asks if he is feeling something and he replies saying it tickles more than anything else suer determined stands on him applying more pressure and only then does yakumo feel the effect after finishing the massage she clings to him her arms around his waist she Praises him again this time for his delicious blood claiming he is The best human in the world yakumo admits he's never received such compliments before and
asks how his blood tastes sumire describes it as having a deep spicy flavor with a faint fragrance amused he tells her she has an unexpectedly refined pallet she in turn insists she can't be the only one satisfied and offers to make him dinner however as she fumbles around the kitchen it becomes evident that sum is unfamiliar with cooking she even Struggles to differentiate between sugar and salt when she sees the stove she notes that it's different from what they used at her school and reassures him that she'll manage yakumo observing her uncertainty questions whether she's
really all right but she insists he sit back and enjoy watching her cook the situation quickly escalates when something catches fire and yukumo rushes to help her when she finally serves the meal it's badly burnt upset in feeling Like she failed to repay his kindness sumar grows quiet yakumo not wanting to pry but curious asks why she had collapsed outside in such a state with a Bittersweet smile sumire explains the harsh rules of the vampire world as a Dropout who can't even feed properly she is considered an outcast there is no place for someone like
her among her kind and she cannot return wiping away her tears she wonders aloud why life has to be so hard yakumo sympathizing Remarks that both humans and vampires seem to have their struggles realizing she has nowhere else to go yakuma offers her a place to stay suggesting she remain with him surprised by his generosity sumar asks if he is truly okay with it he reassures her stating that she doesn't seem like a bad person and truthfully he has been feeling a bit lonely himself Overjoyed she thanks him profusely he then notices she musty freezing
from being in the rain and Offers to run a bath for her while soaking in the warm bath sumire feels rejuvenated laughing to herself she celebrates her newfound luck no more bathing in rivers or hiding in Alleyways tears of relief and joy spill down her face as she reflects on the warmth of the home she's been offered later yakumo apologizes explaining that he doesn't have any appropriate clothes for her to wear sumay now in High Spirits teases him saying that she's already found a Fantastic dress when he looks over he realizes she's wearing his shirt
early in the morning she notices that renan is still asleep and thinks of making breakfast for him she remarks that bread is a staple food for humans and wonders why they need to prepare food when it could be eaten as is she examines the ingredients thinking about how human food is far more complicated than what vampires consume but she's confident that he will be more Than satisfied with her effort everything is prepared and now all she needs to do is wake him up she starts imagining scenar iios in which he will realize how useful she
is as a vampire thinking it's a perfect plan she hopes that as a reward he will let her drink some of his blood with excitement she goes to wake him but just as she's about to the door opens and he appears greeting her casually shocked she asks why he woke up on his own he explains That his alarm clock went off she glares at the clock in frustration and without hesitation places it in the sunlight to let it burn he glances around the room and comments that it looks clean she proudly tells him that she
took the opportunity to tidy up while he was resting he thanks her and she eagerly asks if she's not amazing he Pats her head and she insists that he prays her more he Chuckles thinking she's like an affectionate dog afterward he leaves for Work and she waves goodbye the sun has risen by now and she decides it's time for her to sleep realizing she left her coffin bed behind she wonders if she can use something else using cardboard she constructs a makeshift coffin and sett down to sleep when she wakes up later she remarks that
she slept like a log getting up and putting her clothes on ready to get back to work she wonders if the laundry has dried in notes that the apartment doesn't get any sunlight in The afternoon making it perfect for her she sniffs the clothes and notices the scent of the Sun but there's also something else beneath it is the Deep smell of Ren this scent stirs her appetite and she starts drooling realizing that she's hungry she reminds herself that he gave her some blood yesterday and she'll have to resist today but the thought of his
blood and body keeps creeping into her mind she Muses over how big he is and how much Blood he has thinking to herself that maybe just two mouthfuls wouldn't hurt struggling to control her urges she waits for him to return home but the hours pass and he doesn't come finally at 11:00 p.m. Ren enters the apartment and apologizes for being late the moment he walks through the door she leaps at him telling him he's late and asking if he wanted to see just how hungry he could make her having lost control she begins to drink
his blood afterward she Regains her senses and immediately apologizes realizing she lost control he reassures her that it was partly his fault and they decide that from now on they should get phones so they can at least contact each other in situations like this the next day when Ren comes home sumay eagerly greets him she climbs onto his back as he announces that he's finished his work for the week and is now free delighted she gets excited and ren suggests they use the time to go Shopping she becomes even more enthusiastic but before they leave
he stops her pointing out that her appearance is quite conspicuous sumay responds that these are the only clothes she owns Ren concerned that she might attract unwanted attention considers going out by himself sumire insists she wants to go with him no matter what so she makes her wings and tail less noticeable Ren covers her with a sheet and advises her to keep a low profile as They head out as they arrive at the supermarket Ren mentions that it's open at night which is quite convenient sumay is Amazed by the size of the market and asks
if all the food is meant for humans he confirms and she Marvels at how humans have a system that makes food procurement so easy something Vampires could never match she reflects that it was thanks to this system that she met him Ren warns her to behave reminding her that he already stands out because Of his size they walk to the meat section and ren notes that they're out of meat suer impressed by the selection picks a large amount saying he'll needed to produce a lot of blood he tells her they can't buy that much just
then she sniffs something that's been bothering her and realizes it's garlic infused meat horrified she declares it an inhuman trap and says they can't possibly buy it Ren asks if she dislikes garlic and sumire clarifies That it's not about preference garlic she explains causes vampires limbs to become paralyzed makes breathing difficult and is essentially the scent of death a weapon developed to counter vampires Ren Compares it to puffer fish poison and she asks if he finally understands he assures her he does finding humor in the absurdity of the situation as they continue shopping Ren suggests
she pick out some new clothes sumire asks if he's really okay with That and ren encourages her to choose whatever she likes being small she picks out clothes she thinks will fit and goes to try them on she emerges noting that while the height is right the chest area is tight making it difficult to find the fit Ren agrees with her observation after selecting a few outfits and changing she proudly declares that she has perfected her human disguise they head to the cashier to pay but the employee comments on how ran is walking Around late
at night with a child noting that he doesn't seem like her parent sum Meer seizing the opportunity to use her deception skills blurts out that their lovers leaving the cashier stunned Ren quickly steps in explaining that sum is a relative's child and he's taking care of her he lightly scolds sum for teasing adults and the employee accepts the explanation but starts gossiping about him Su after they leave asks if she should have just told them that he found Her on the streets Ren replies that would have been much worse and suggests they head home as
they walk sumay smiles and ren asks if something happened she excitedly tells him that she's never had so much fun in her life seeing her so happy Ren feels relieved and glad that she's enjoying herself she suggests taking a different route home since they come all this way pulling him along as she wonders what lies down another Street Ren tells her not to pull too Hard but they continue on meanwhile a girl watches them from a distance puzzled she recognizes Ren but has never seen sumire with him before and she wonders who this new girl
might be suar is jumping and running holding his hand asking him if it's also fun for him to walk like this at night she says it's the time when vampires are invincible and that she can really show her stuff suddenly she feels something strange and asks yakumo if someone is following them She then shouts at the person hiding saying that they're lurking in the shadows so they should come out as the figure emerges it reveals a beautiful female staring at them sumire quickly realizes that the girl is human when the girl angrily asks who she
is suay retorts that she should be the one asking the questions sumay then shouts accusing her of being a home wer claiming that she was undoubtedly drawn there by Ren San's delicious scent However yakumo quickly steps in telling suay that she's mistaken as the girl isn't like her Su still unconvinced begins sniffing the girl all over asking yakumo if they're related when yakumo explains that they're siblings sum finally understands as the two of them smell so similar the girl yakumo's sister manori then turns to her brother and asks who sumay is noting how young she
looks she goes on to accuse yakumo of picking up a runaway school girl he Tries to explain the situation but manori isn't listening so he asks sumire to clarify things fearing it will get ugly if she doesn't suir agrees and declares that they are life Partners causing Ren to freak out pleading with her not to complicate things after Ren explains the truth to manori she's initially shocked but soon after she teasingly asks sum if she's at the brooding age suay feeling teased retorts by jumping at Ren licking his neck and Declaring that she'll show manori
in detail how she drinks his blood horrified manori yells at sumay to get off her younger brother and the two begin bickering about who Ren belongs to minori clearly not buying the story finally says she'll force herself to accept that sumay is a vampire but even so she won't allow her to have her brother she then makes an X sign which confuses suay who asks what kind of toy it is monori is shocked that it isn't Working and contemplates driving a stake through su's heart or using silver bullets sumay UNF sticks her tongue out and
tells manori she'll have to find another way as none of those will work she then advises manori that if she wants to defeat a vampire she'll need garlic Ren Chuckles remarking that garlic is the easiest method of all they then explain everything to manori and now as she's staying in Ren's apartment she comments that her brother is too Kind to people she acknowledges that things might be tough for vampires but humans have their own concepts of what's proper she suggests that sumay come with her to her place offering that it would be wholesome and wouldn't
raise any eyebrows since they both women sumay glances at Manor's body and then bites her hand sucking blood and remarking that her blood is a bit fatty so she should exercise the for offering again infuriated manori retaliates and the two Begin fighting Ren tries to intervene urging them to stop saying that fighting won't solve anything and they should just try to get along both women stop and apologize agreeing to shake hands and make peace but when Sumer shakes Minor's hand she twists her finger mocking her for being so weak enraged minori shouts at sumay calling
her a chimpanzee while Ren looks on in worry wondering what will happen between the two of them since the day sumay had come To live with Ren he had been giving her blood every morning however it was never quite enough for her and she knew that taking more would risk his health faced with this dilemma she realized she needed to come up with a plan she took out her notebook from her school days and declared that she'd follow the guidelines she wants use as she flipped through the pages she found a note suggesting that hunger
could be mtig ated by using milk it struck her as an Odd solution but if human money could be exchanged for goods and services then perhaps milk was worth trying as she glanced at the page she recalled getting scolded by her teacher for falling asleep in class she was supposed to be paying attention but she'd always struggled there was a part of the notebook she couldn't fully decipher but she understood enough to know that she could buy milk from a store luckily Ren had given her a small allowance for Emergencies so she decided this qualified
as one feeling determined she ventured out to the supermarket they had visited before convinced that finding her way would be easy since she'd been there once before however it didn't take long before she got lost in the middle of the street unable to figure out where she was as she was searching for the way a voice called out to her from behind it was manori who immediately pointed out that a young woman like her shouldn't be Wandering alone at night sumay at first felt relieved to see her but her competitive Spirit quickly kicked in and
she fired back asking IFI wasn't a young woman too Lori calmly replied that she was an adult and was merely heading home from work curious she asked sumay what she was doing out by herself sumay trying to maintain her Pride insisted that she wasn't lost and was just wandering around however her vague answer gave manori the impression that She was in fact lost sum then admitted that she was looking for milk manori trying to understand made a quick connection between milk and blood figuring that might be why sumire was seeking it she offered to help
her find a store where they could buy some together they went to the store and sum was thrilled buying a large amount of milk hoping this would ease the burden on Ren but when she looked more closely at her purchase she realized that many Of the cartons weren't actually milk but imp posters other dairy products she immediately panicked declaring she had fallen into a human trap manori watched the scene unfold with shock thinking that sum was more of a doofus than she had imagined when they returned home Su tried the milk and while it didn't
resemble blood as much as she had hoped it did take the edge off her hunger however she was still perplexed by the other Dairy items she had mistakenly Purchased she decided to try one of them and to her surprise she loved it it tasted closer to blood than she had expected and she found herself wondering why she hadn't chosen it in the first place but just as she was enjoying the moment something unexpected happened to her stomach and she had to rush to the bathroom in her distress she shouted that it had been a trap
the next morning as the sun rose Ren noticed that suire looked a little worn out she casually Told him that she was on a diet but Ren didn't believe her he asked what had really happened and sum explained everything from her attempt to find a substitute for his blood to the stomach trouble she had experienced from the impostor milk she revealed that she hadn't wanted to place any more burden on his health but her stomach was still grumbling from the ordeal Ren understanding her intentions stood up and reassured her he appreciated her Efforts and told
her that as long as she had good intentions that was a help in itself he then suggested she take a sip of his blood to celebrate her effort sumay eager and touched jumped toward him drinking the blood gratefully as she did she remarked that he spoiled her a lot but Ren simply smiled and told her that she didn't need to put so much pressure on herself her thoughtfulness was more than enough for him at the office Ren immerses himself in his Project the pre mounts with deadlines looming and everything seeming to catch fire at once
despite the chaos he finds a moment to escape to the rooftop where he makes a quick phone call apologizing for the inconvenience caused by the ongoing situation he assures the person on the other end that they will reassess the matter with urgency after ending the call he quietly mutters to himself wondering why such unreasonable demands were made in the first place weren't The Impossible deadlines their idea feeling drained he wishes the person could be a bit more understanding yet the pressure weighs heavily on him when he finally makes it home sumire greets him enthusiastically having
waited for him with excitement the memory of how lonely his past had been contrast sharply with the warmth of now having someone waiting for him he appreciates the change though exhaustion clings to him as they enter the house the day stress lingers and he Reflects on the long hours spent apologizing at work the crisis consumes his entire day and he wishes he had an extra set of hands to help with everything soon me always eager to assist offers to take over the task of apologizing claiming she excels at it with a smile she redirects his
attention to the dinner she has prepared Ren thankful for the effort feels the need to recharge likening his weariness to a fire needing fuel as sumay presents the Meal Ren notes that the dish looks impressive but his mood shifts when he glances at the state of the kitchen which is in complete disarray despite the chaos sum brushes it off saying that the mess is like the wounds earn honorably in battle after dinner sumay proudly informs Ren that she has also filled the tub for him though he offers her the chance to go first she insists
that she has prepared it for him urging him to relax Ren takes his bath but by The time sum's turn comes most of the water has already Spilled Out later as they settle into bed Ren reflects on the rough day he's endured but finds comfort in sumire's presence he expresses his gratitude feeling that thanks to her he can face another challenge ing day ahead suay flustered by his praise starts to blush she thinks about how his words make her feel though she tries to brush it off insisting to herself that she isn't seeking any reward
yet her desire For a little Indulgence grows as she considers asking for a taste of his blood however as she turns to look at Ren she realizes he has already fallen asleep exhausted from the day events she feels a pain of understanding recognizing how hard he works not only at his demanding job but also in letting her feed on him all while carrying his daily burdens she hugs him gently and Whispers a quiet good night content with just Beam by his side meanwhile on a Nearby rooftop a vampire stands overlooking the city marveling at how
strange and chaotic the place feels she sniffs the air noting the faint scent of another vampire lingering amidst the throngs of humans below turning to the vampire beside her she questions whether they should investigate the other vampire impressed Praises her sharp sense of smell preparing for what ever they might discover sumar Smiles softly deciding to let Ren sleep for now she Needs to clean up the kitchen she messed up last time however suddenly she sniffs the air and realizes someone is at the door there's a sudden noise and ren awakens stunned to see several vampires
standing there they have captured sumire one of the vampires introduces herself as Dalia and hands him her card her demeanor surprisingly friendly Ren confused initially thinks she might not be a threat however Dalia quickly adds that since he has seen them she will Have to keep his mouth shut by turning him into her snack Terror washes over him and he quickly retracts his words sumay trying to protect him demands they not touch Ren doia responds coldly telling sumay to shut up or she'll cut off her head Ren distressed pleads with Dalia not to hurt her
Dalia remarks that sumay struggling is annoying and admits she's not particularly good at dealing with situations like this she turns to another another vampire Kiku and Casually suggests cutting off both their heads to eliminate any evidence Kiku after observing the situation counters that killing them wouldn't necessarily destroy the evidence she notices that suer and ren seem to know each other and suggests they should investigate further Dalia finds the idea intriguing admitting that she had been thinking the same Ren baffled points out that this was far from what she had said just moments ago after hearing
their story Kiku understands the situation and thanks Ren for saving one of their own and for keeping their existence a secret he brushes off the Gratitude insisting it was nothing Kiku then declares that they will take sumay with them and leave however suay protests saying she won't go she argues that she and ren are compatible and that she doesn't need to return to the vampire World instead she can live with him Ren supporting her tells them he doesn't mind things are More lively with sumay around Kiku however remains firm she acknowledges that Ren and Su
may get along well but allowing her to stay would throw the vampire world into considerable disarray Dalia with a menacing smile steps forward and demands that they come along quietly her expression is so frightening that both Ren and sum glance at her clearly unnerved they begin dragging sumay along insisting she come with them but Ren steps in grabbing her and Stopping them kikio with a calm and matter of fact tone reminds Ren that sumay doesn't belong in his world and had previously ended up collapse in the rain lost and vulnerable Ren skeptical responds that it
seems too convenient for them to claim they're simply taking her home sumay meanwhile looks at Ren with a mixture of uncertainty and confusion clearly affected by his intervention Dalia interjects addressing Ren directly pointing out that he should Direct his questions to the person responsible for sum's upbringing who had neglected her in the first place she explains that they have their own responsibilities to take care of and that sum is part of their world not his Dalia then makes a move to take sumay from Ren but he holds on firmly refusing to Let Her Go frustrated
Dalia turns to Kiku remarking that Ren is proving to be quite stubborn and isn't going to back down easily she suggests somewhat coldly That Kiku should just get rid of him kikio however remains composed she acknowledges that they could have easily Left sumay Behind after finding her but she also understands Ren's determination and the force of his will recognizing that this situation requires more consideration she sigh and asks Dalia to wait saying they need to discuss what to do next for now Kiku mentions she will prepare a report on the matter as Kiku leaves to
handle the situation Dalia With a playful attitude nudges suay commenting that Kiku is too soft for her own good though it is something she admires about her suay and ren watching the two interact realize that Kiku and Dalia have been talking for a long time which leaves sumay feeling feeling anxious her mind races worried about what they might be planning for her future when Kiki returns she announces that she has a clear understanding of the situation now she has been Considering the possibility that su's case is unique and after reviewing everything she realizes that sum
indeed fits into a specific category there is a sense of inevitability in K's voice as she explains that given the circumstances it isn't surprising that Su isn't eager to return to her previous life Ren Liv listening intently tries to make sense of what class Kiku is referring to but it remains vague in his mind Kiku continues saying that after Careful consideration they have decided how to handle the situation despite the fact that sum's actions technically break some of their laws they see this as a rare set of favorable circumstances as long as suar agrees to
take specialized education and have an escort they will permit her to live among humans on a trial basis Kiku will be responsible for sum's education while doia will act as her escort this K declares is the official decision Su Upon hearing the decision becomes excited realizing that in other words she will be allowed to stay Kiku adds that they will need to prepare an appropriate space for her to live meanwhile doia takes it upon herself to find a vacant room for sum the next evening they inform sumay that they have set up a base of
operations next door and Dalia ever resourceful digs a hole between the walls to create a shortcut explaining That it would be too much of a hassle to constantly move between the rooms Kiku always organized begins issuing orders she declares that sumire will be responsible for doing the housework while she and ren will focus on their own tasks Kiku specifically tasks sumay with preparing supper for Ren saying she wants to see what sumay is capable of this excites sum seeing it as her opportunity to showcase her skills she eagly prepares an extravagant meal Combining AES from
the sea and the mountains presenting it with pride however Kik you can't help but comment that sumay is playing with food reminding her that even if Human Society now lives in an age of abundance there was a time when acquiring such food required great effort and hard work with a playful grin Dalia announces it's time for one of kiku's olden day stories Kiku turns to Dalia asks for an oery and gives Su Meer an inappropriate command Leaving her stunned confused and defensive suer shouts demanding to know what's happening Kiku calmly explains that it's all part
of her education Dalia approaches Ren remarking on his imposing size she acknowledges her own height but notes that he far surpasses her observing him Kiku can't help but comment on how extraordinary he looks likening him to a rare and impressive specimen sum agreeing acknowledges his uniqueness but seems to take a bit of Pride in the observation Dalia amused by sum's Pride laughs and teases her promising to not knock her down a peg without warning doia seizes Ren by the neck her hunger evident she admits a desire to taste his blood leaving Ren startled and uneasy
he pleads with her to stop talking like that confessing it makes him nervous and uncomfortable sumay defensive of Ren declares that he is her partner doia dismisses her concern insisting that drinking a little Blood wouldn't cause any harm Kiku ever the pragmatist presents a pack of blood as an alternative offering it to Dalia however doia seems disheartened lamenting that nothing compares to drinking directly from the source her mischievous nature resurfaces as she draws Ren's sword and points it at him blaming him for having such an enticing presence Ren bewildered apologizes for being so appealing which
only confuses Kiku further meanwhile sum after some Thought asks Kiku for advice regarding Ren's recent Behavior she has noticed he has been unusually fatigued collapsing into bed each night and she suspects it's due to her feeding on him Kiku amused by sum's realization notes that it's about time she noticed Ren's exhaustion taking the sword from doia Kiku explains that there are two solutions the first is ensuring Ren receives proper nutrition and rest and the second is reducing the amount of Blood sumire takes from him she outlines a plan they will start by addressing Ren's nutritional
needs as he is likely suffering from iron deficiency and nearing anemia Kiku suggests cooking iron-rich foods to replenish his blood and Ensure uring he rests after eating once his blood levels are restored sum can feed on him in smaller quantities creating a balanced cycle to keep him healthy additionally Kiku suggests giving him a massage to stimulate blood Flow further helping the situation sumire admits she has tried this method before but found Ren's body too stiff for the massage to be effective without hesitation doia jumps onto Ren and demonstrates how it should be done massaging him
despite his protests of pain she reassures him that he will get used to it and even enjoy it eventually offering to take 200 M blood as payment for her efforts determined to handle it herself Su steps forward and insists on Taking over Dalia amused teases her about being jealous though sumay vehemently denies it Kiku then presents Ren with a small bottle curious Ren asks about its contents and she explains that it's a blood replenishing drug similar to a nutrient drink created by vampires while it's not something he should rely on regularly it will quickly restore
his strength in emergencies eager to regain his energy he accepts the bottle and takes a sip almost immediately his veins Become more prominent and he feels an incredible surge of energy coursing through his body his blood pumps with renewed Vigor and he is overcome with a sudden urge to move suay delighted by the change remarks on how active he seems but Dalia laughing questions whether it's wise noting that Ren appears more energetic than necessary Kiku observing the transformation with concern wonders aloud if Ren's body has reacted poorly to the drink now brimming With energy Ren
announces that he's going for a run leaving sumay scrambling to keep up with him as she calls for him to wait as sum steps outside she frantically searches for Ren San trying to figure out where he's gone Dalia casually points in his Direction mentioning that he's over there without wasting any time sumire Sprints towards him determined to stop him she grabs his shirt tugging with all her strength but he continues his frantic movements Meanwhile Kiki watches with mild Amusement questioning what sum is trying to accomplish sumay urgent explains that she's going to stop him at
all costs and calls on Dalia for help but she finds the situation too amusing to interfere just yet eventually the three of them managed to catch Ren and restrain him tying him up securely together they decide to bring him home once back Ren sits quietly in the corner seeming subdued suer satisfied notes that he has Finally calmed down however Kiku observes that something is still off suggesting that Ren's mind hasn't fully recovered likely due to the excess blood in his system doia dismisses the concern proposing a simple solution they could just drain the excess blood
Kiku agrees that it would be the easiest way to address the issue sum however insists she will handle it herself as Ren's partner she believes it's her responsibility to manage the situation Her resolve strengthens as she stares at Ren her hunger evident she begins to drool of the thought of feeding her instincts taking over Dalia clearly entertained laugh at sum's eagerness wasting no time suay dies toward Ren's neck sinking her teeth in and drinking deeply after a few moments she pulls back declaring she's had enough and asks Kiku if it's sufficient Kiku examines Ren and
shakes her head the problem is far from solved his veins are still Swollen and his blood pressure remains dangerously High concerned suir asks what they should do next Dalia thinking pragmatically suggests they all help with the process though reluctant suire agrees realizing Ren's life depends on it she consents to their help but only for this one time together they begin draining the excess blood from Ren suddenly Ren stirs and opens his eyes catching them offg guard Kiku realizing the effects of the drug she gave him Quickly apologizes for not anticipating how it would affect him
Ren still disoriented glances towards the window and notices the daylight outside confused he asks if he slept through the entire night Kiku informs him he's been asleep for nearly 40 hours much to his shock realizing he's been unconscious for a day and a half Kiku assures him she contacted his workplace and informed them of his absence prompting Ren to praise her for handling the situation so Efficiently Kiku then mentions that Su stayed by his side throughout his recover recovery watching over him until she eventually fell asleep she asks how he's feeling and after taking a
moment to assess himself Ren responds that he feels much better no longer weighed down by exhaustion he wonders aloud if he should apologize for causing everyone so much trouble but Kiku quickly reassures him saying he did nothing wrong in fact his condition allowed Delia to drink More blood than usual lifting her spirits considerably with that Kiku heads to the kitchen offering to cook something for Ren knowing he must be hungry after such a long rest Ren thanks her and as he eats the meal she prepared he's surprised by how delicious it is despite her likely
unfamiliarity with human cuisine as he enjoys his meal he glances over at Kiku noticing she's falling asleep likely exhausted from watching Over him smiling softly he drapes a blanket over her grateful for the kindness shown to him reflecting on his initial fear of them Ren realizes that although they once seemed intimidating they've proven themselves s to be compassionate and caring with that thought he turns to Dalia intending to offer her a blanket as well before he can approach Dalia ever alert informs him that she's still awake she explains that as the designated Lookout her eyes
Never close and she remains Vigilant Ren surprised is left in disbelief having not noticed her eyes open before in the morning a bad arrives delivering a message to Kiku Dalia notices this and asks what they're supposed to do now Kiku approach roaches suay explaining that they need to make an appearance at the Academy although she clearly doesn't want to rush Kiki reminds her that this task must be done properly urging her to take her time and think it through then Kiku turns to Ren asking if he wants to join them surprised he asks if he's
even allowed to and Kiku confirms that he can of course accompany them as they reach the academy building Ren is immediately struck by its Grandeur Amazed by how impressive it looks however upon entering all the bats around begin eyeing Ren commenting that he's human and looks quite appetizing they speculate that perhaps another class is having a Hands-On lesson and simply Looking at Ren is making them all hungry Dalia notices Ren's expression and asks why he seems so freaked out Ren slightly unnerved explains that being surrounded by people who are hungry because of him is rather
frightening one of the bats glances at sum who also seems uneasy as they all make their way to the academy doors Kiku reaches the entrance and mentions that they've arrived as they step inside a man immediately greets Ren introducing himself as tonero the Principal of the academy he thanks yakumo San for coming all this way explaining that Ren is a very important figure for the future of the vampire world and tenero had wanted to meet him personally at least once confused Ren Whispers to her asking if he's really that important but sumire appears lost in
thought shocking Ren as he wonders what's going on with her tonero addresses Ren directly offering a simple explanation of the current state of the Vampire world he explains that the students at the Academy study humans extensively not just their ecology but also their psychology economics International Affairs and more essentially they study all things related to humans fully-fledged vampires once they graduate are permitted to form contracts with humans who are referred to as retainers in return for a supply of their retainers blood the vampire uses all their accumulated knowledge and Innate abilities to help the retainer
achieve success in society the more successful the retainer becomes the deeper the bond with their vampire grows in this way a consistent supply of Life getting blood is secured while not all vampires follow this path with some ending up in fields like internal management and education tonero explains that this is the idealized image of a modern vampire Ren trying to simplify the concept asks if it's essentially Like hiring an amazing personal assistant but instead of paying with money he pay with his blood the principal Chuckles affirming that Ren's understanding is correct however he goes on
to explain that as Society develops in increasingly spectacular ways vampires face challenges in finding their place in the world they need to adapt and find new methods to overcome these predicaments suddenly another voice interrupts the principal this Individual criticizes ton Rico accusing him of speaking bait words but lacking the will power to back them up he argues that codling others leads to failure and weakens the vampire World his solution is to focus on educating and Elite few and producing Superior progyny warning that without this approach they risk losing their traditions and pride as the tension
in the room Rises another voice chimes in telling the first speaker to hold on this new speaker argues that the Very mindset being promoted is the reason the vampire world is dwindling he argues that Outcast students are causing chaos in the human world and suggests a change in tactics his solution is to turn humans into livestock ensuring a stable blood supply for vampires while addressing environmental concerns as the argument heats up Ren turns to Kiku and asks if this is normal Kiku staying calm explains that even vampires have different factions with opposing views She then
points out the conservative speaker mentioning that he was one su's teacher giving Ren a bit more insight into the debate principal steps in urging them to Halt their argument reminding them that yakumo has traveled far to be there he encourages everyone to calm down and reiterates that their course of action continuing the cohabitation Arrangement has already been decided noticing the rising tension Kiku quietly expresses to the principle Her concern for Ren pointing out that the academy is full of potential threats to him and he's likely feeling uneasy she asks if they can speed things up
the principal understands apologizing to Ren with a grin he then adds that that he's looking forward to seeing the outcome of the situation and thanks Ren for his time Kiku bows respectfully informing the principal that they will be taking their leave now as they turn to go su's former teacher addresses Dalia Expressing high hopes for her especially considering the results he expects from the place she will oversee he hints that he would also like to visit as he's sure it would be an enlightening experience Dalia clearly irritated tells him to shut up finding his comments
annoying the teacher unfazed retorts that her attitude attracts aimless students to aimless mentors ignoring his snide remark they all continue on their way once they exit the academy Ren turns to The group commenting on how unpleasant the teacher was sumay still feeling tense urges them to leave quickly Kiku noticing Ren's lingering ones reassures him that there's no need to worry about the teacher anymore as they walk further away sum lets out a long sigh confessing she was incredibly nervous throughout the meeting Kiku Praises her for handling herself well despite the pressure Ren reflects on the
encounter relieved that while some teachers Weren't particularly friendly the principal seemed reasonable Kiku teases him calling him a simple soul and advises him not to trust the principal too much suddenly the girl from before reappears reminding them not to leave her behind Ren confused at first recognizes her as the girl from earlier she introduces herself as mimosa and explains that she's in charge of technique development Mimosa supports kiku's warning saying it's still too Early to fully trust the principal and proceeds to give Ren a detailed explanation Mimosa explains that the vampire world is divided into
three factions the Revolutionary faction the Salvation faction and the conservative faction she and Kiku belong to the Salvation faction which seeks to abolish the practice of discarding weak vampires their goal is to restore balance to the vampire world and suers Contin cohabitation with humans was only Permitted due to their significant protest Ren starts to understand and asks if this means the principal belongs to a different faction Mimosa confirms this explaining that the issue lies in the principal's previous neutral stance but when it came to sum he suddenly became sympathetic to their Viewpoint thanks to her
presence they were able to convey their point effectively Mimosa mentions that since the principal left the dust box it's clear something is Happening behind the scenes confused Ren asks about the Dust box Mimosa suggests it's faster to show him and tells him to follow her surprised Ren follows as they ascend to a great height Mimosa instructs him to take a look and he notices something moving the vampire swarming around a building she explains that this is the prison where all vampires who lose their place end up shocked Ren listens as she describes how after losing
their minds from thirst These vampires wait here for rare scraps of food according to the current rules sumay will end up in this place one day and the principal supports this system Mimosa declares that this place should not exist and they plan to destroy it she then informs Ren that she will be living with him as a Record Keeper and he welcomes her Dalia asks Mimosa if she too has had it rough Mimosa reveals that it wouldn't be fair if they were allowed to do as they pleased without Consequences as they return home Ren reflects
on su's potential fate thinking that she is just a child sumay determined promises to do her best impr prove that she is a splendid vampire who can be a great help to him however Mimosa explains that the test is no longer about whether sum is useful or not this way of thinking is outdated what they're now trying to determine is whether humans and vampires can truly understand each other and lit together It's almost like they're keeping each other as pets she amuses and they care less about her being the Dropout and more about whether Ren
likes her mosa mentions that her former teacher hog is a strict meritocratic conservative but even he supported their when it involved suay Kiku notes that while mimosa's stance is Extreme she herself is in no position to be su's teacher Ren pats sumay on the head reassuring her that she doesn't need to worry about him After all the heavy conversation he tells her to rest and have some fun Mimosa then comments on how Cooperative he has been and as a symbol of their friendship she asks if she can drink some of his blood he agrees and
Dalia also expresses her desire for blood Kiki watches silently saying nothing at the office he has just finished preparing the documents for the meeting and the figures appear to be in order suddenly he hears a sound coming from under his Desk curious he checks and sees Mimosa San hiding there glancing around he asks her why she's there she replies that making reports is her job he points out that it's 10: in the morning a time when vampires are usually asleep she nonant responds that she is a day person he understands but remarks that he can't
let his guard down as she's observing him she then notices his coffee and suggests he drink the new blood producing drug instead proudly claiming This version as her creation she insists that he try it he realizes that the incident last time was all her fault suddenly an older man asks if he needs help startling him he quickly assures the man that he's fine the man glances at the drug and asks if it's an energy drink commenting on its Sinister design he advises that too many of these would be bad for his health and he acknowledges
this with understanding later he returns home and Kiku informs Him that sum is making dinner asking him to wait a little longer Su however seems distracted and inattentive which results in her burning the food she apologizes profusely but he reassures her that it's fine he can handle something as minor as this Dalia remarks that humans are amazing pointing out that if vampires ate food like that they would get sick during their free time they all enjoy themselves and eventually he heads to bed suer looking gloomy quietly tells Herself that once again she only managed to
mess up the entire day before Dawn sumire gets up determined to make breakfast but she quickly realizes that she used up all the ingredients Resolute she decides to go out and do some shopping the others warn her that the sun is about to rise but Su dismisses their concern saying the store is just around the corner and it won't be a problem she leaves and Dalia asks Kiku if she should keep an eye on her at the Market sumire thinks about making sunny side up eggs for breakfast she reflects on how she often messes up
when cracking the eggs causing the yolks to run everywhere yet despite her failures he never Minds he always eats the food and tells her it's delicious she wonders if his tolerance for her mistakes means he doesn't expect much from her back at home Ren wakes up and asks if something is wrong liosa reveals that suer hasn't returned from shopping he is stunned Realizing that today is supposed to be a clear blue sky if she is exposed to the Sun son she'll be burned to a crisp Mimosa frustrated mutters that she won't be able to put
this in her report determined he announces that he'll go look for her Kiku hands him an umbrella and he gratefully thanks her before dashing out in search of sumay he searches everywhere but cannot find her Dalia had mentioned that sumire was in the area but it's still a vast space for Him to cover suddenly a child asked their mother why the man is holding an umbrella on such a sunny day that's when he notices a note attached to the umbrella he reads it and the first thing it tells him is to calm down if he
has found it taking a deep breath he composes himself and continues reading the note explains that before suar met him she survived on her own for a long time and is fully capable of taking care of herself so there's no need to worry It seems however that she has something Weighing on her mind something she may be struggling to express in front of everyone and he should listen to what she has to say after some time searching he finally finds her and approaches he sits down beside her apologizing for not noticing that she had been
holding something in gently he asks her to tell him what's on her mind if she feels comfortable sharing when he looks at her he sees tears streaming down her face Through her sobs sumire confesses that when she fled the vampire world he saved her and ever since she has wanted to repay his kindness she wanted him to expect great things from her and count on her but all she has done is mess up again and again she feels that he never expected anything from her and this made her wonder if her existence was a burden
to him now with everyone treating it as just a mission she can't help but be consumed by miserable Thoughts with Tears falling uncontrollably she admits that sometimes she wishes she could just disappear he listens quietly then stands up and says it's a sunny day today isn't it it's been a while how about we go for a walk sumire is stunned but he reassures her saying he has an umbrella and out of concern he wraps her in some heavy duty gear for protection from the Sun together they walked past the crowd attracting attention as people begin
to whisper about them suir nervously points Out that they're standing out quite a lot but he assures her it's fine she thanks him for taking the time to talk to her saying she now understands her own feelings better he tells her that he thought laughing off her mistakes would make things easier for her but in reality he was hurting her and he is deeply sorry for that he goes on to say that he wants her to remember something important in today's world everyone is frantically racing through life and self Included but amidst all that chaos
her innocent warmth has been a source of comfort for him he wants her by his side and together it will work hard to fix whatever isn't working with sincerity he asks if she will stay with him Su looks at him with big tear-filled eyes and he awkwardly admits that he's not very good at expressing these kinds of feelings she smiles through her tears and promises that she too will work hard suddenly he realizes they haven't had Breakfast yet Su suggests they pick up some eggs from the market as she feels confident in making sunny side
up eggs this time he laughs and playfully tells her that he's expecting great things from her back home everyone is relieved and happy that sum has been found as they near the house Kiku mentions that there are many things they will need to consider and discuss going forward [Music] Am about my here I stand I know I walked away I had to find a person I become
