Hello, it's Seki from the flower shop.
Hey, thanks for always delivering, Seki-kun.
Good evening, Mahiru-kun.
Kiku-san!
The illuminated midnight Akari no tomotta midnight
Ego, greed, and regret, they all come and go Ego to yoku to miren ga ikikau
The rain is causing blurred sight Ame ni boyaketa shikai
Wet silhouettes traced by the neon lights Neon ga nazoru nureta rinkaku
Until morning, don't wake up yet Until morning mada samenaide
Time will tear us apart Toki ga hikisaku
Rolled my eyes and said goodnight Akireta kao de goodnight
Thought I'd caught up, turns out to be a mirage Oitsuketa to omoeba mirage
Just like that day, I want to touch you Ano hi no mama de furetai
I've already thrown away my dignity Tokku ni nugisuteta hinkaku
Mistakes happen in the blink of an eye, yeah Atto iu ma ni okoru machigai, yeah
The night is fleeting... Yoru wa mijikaku...
A lighter that has run out of gas lights up Gas gire no lighter ga terasu
How it happened Iikisatsu
Wait a minute, huh Chotto matteya, huh
Well, I have a family and a life to look after Ore nya katei ga atte seikatsu ga atteyana
She won't leave me, uh-huh Hottokante, uh-huh
She was already climbing on me before I lied to her Ore ga uso tsuku mae ni tokku ni matagattera
La di la di la la
The keyhole opens while she hums a song again today Kyou mo hanauta majiri hiraita kagi ana
You always do things your way Honto katte yana
Twenty years ago, I think it started this way Tashika ni ju nen mae mo konna hajimari kata
Ah, I have to choose between an important side in the sun Aa erabanakya daiji na hinata
And a sweet darkness Kanbi na kurayami ka docchi ka
"Write more..." "Motto kaite..."
"Sing more..." "Motto utatte..."
She laughs greedily Yokubatte warau
Just like you have planned, tomorrow is melting away Omae no keikaku doori tokete iku ashita wo
I don't care which way Doudemo iiya wo
As you can see, it ain't stopping no more, ha ha ha Kono toori, mou tomanneeya, ha ha ha
Rolled my eyes and said goodnight Akireta kao de goodnight
Thought I'd caught up, turns out to be a mirage Oitsuketa to omoeba mirage
Just like that day, I want to touch you Ano hi no mama de furetai
I've already thrown away my dignity Tokku ni nugisuteta hinkaku
Mistakes happen in the blink of an eye, yeah Atto iu ma ni okoru machigai, yeah
The night is fleeting... Yoru wa mijikaku...
A lighter that has run out of gas lights up Gas gire no lighter ga terasu
How it happened Ikisatsu
Oh dear, you got in a fight with a friend?
Well yeah, I guess.
Real immature, right?
What started it?
He knows what he's doing is dangerous,
and even knows how to avoid the danger.
But he won't, and I kinda lost it.
So you punched him?
Huh?!
N-No, I wouldn't do that.
I'm kidding.
Well, Mahiru-kun...
Do you not like your friend anymore?
See, I really look up to him.
I know the effort he puts into everything.
And he has the strength to not be influenced by others.
Not like me.
I could never hate him.
Okay, then.
It'll be fine.
Let's go make up with your friend right now.
Yeah?
What?
Your childhood friend here got attacked by a vampire and went through a trauma-inducing experience.
But you got it on with a girl right after, huh?
S-Sorry...
It's fine.
I mean, I don't mind if you want to be a vampire.
What about offspring? Will you make any?
Uh, I won't know until I am one.
Sure, that's fine for now.
But you'll have to feed on blood.
Yeah...
Ko, listen...
I don't want you to end up like that.
Yeah...
So when you turn,
I'll let you feed on me first thing.
As long as you don't fall for me.
Uh, eww?
Ko!
You're here too, Akira.
Mahiru-kun!
What's up?
I just want to check something.
It won't change the fact that we're friends, right?
No matter what you turn into?
Of course not.
Thanks, Mahiru-kun.
Well, I'm not completely okay with all of this yet.
But it's pretty simple if you think about it.
If you ever get hungry, you can just feed on me.
Huh? Why are you laughing?
Well, I mean, she was just saying the same thing!
What? Aww, no fair.
And kinda lewd.
"Lewd"?
Were you able to make up?
K... Kiku-san?!
Uh, what are you doing?!
I told you to wait somewhere else!
But I wanted to see how it went.
Is that the friend you were talking about?
What a pretty lady.
Hello, nice to meet you.
Mahiru-kun talks about you sometimes.
I'm Kiku Hoshimi.
Hi there.
I-I'm Ko Yamori.
O-Oh, yeah!
Sorry, I'm supposed to be meeting someone.
You just remembered?
I hope we can talk more sometime!
Sorry, see you!
Uh, what's with him?
Did he get shy?
Why?
What's going on, Mahiru-kun?!
Hey...
Can I ask you a question?
Why do you smell like vampire?
Why are you hanging out with a vampire, dude?
Kiku Hoshimi-san,
you're a vampire, aren't you?
I'm the one asking the questions.
Does Mahiru-kun know?
I decided I want to be a vampire,
and that's why I'm hanging out with one.
I know that in order to turn people,
vampires deceive humans sometimes.
I couldn't care less, to be honest.
But Mahiru-kun is my friend.
If you're planning to trick him, I can't let that slide.
I answered your question.
Now answer mine.
Please, don't tell Mahiru-kun just yet!
Oh, uh...
What?
That's not how I expected this to go down.
Huh? "Go down"?
Oh, and you forgot this.
Huh? Thanks.
I totally thought you'd say, "Tell him and you're dead."
That's an awfully violent life you've led.
Of course not.
I want to tell Mahiru-kun myself.
Because I got to know him without any intention of turning him or whatever,
I haven't found the right opportunity to tell him.
I'm worried he might hate me if he finds out,
and that scares me.
You're kidding.
So yeah, please? Do me a favor?
Could it be she's actually really nice?
Hoshimi-san, I'm sorry I accused you.
I get that you don't intend to trick Mahiru-kun or anything.
So please, tell him the truth.
Mahiru-kun came to terms with my deal.
I'm sure he'll accept you for who you are.
But if not, that's all the more reason to be honest.
Telling him sooner rather than later will spare Mahiru-kun a lot of pain.
So...
please.
If you care about Mahiru-kun, tell him right away!
What I just said.
Were you listening?
Don't make me say it again.
I'm asking you for a favor.
I just want to tell him when the time is right.
You won't even let me do that?
Hey, Yamori-kun...
You know what they say about someone who interferes in another's love life?
I guess in this case, you might get bitten by a demon, and-
What are you two talking about?
All I wanted was to see what your friend was like, you know?
Kiku-san?
How could I have known about Yamori-kun?
I guess this is it.
Mahiru-kun, I'm actually a vampire.
Just like that scary man you said you encountered at school with Yamori-kun.
You must be disappointed, huh?
Yamori-kun...
Happy now?
Uh...
Goodbye then.
Huh?
I have no intention of turning Mahiru-kun.
So now that he knows, it's over between us.
Forget about me.
What did I just do?
I didn't want Mahiru-kun to get hurt.
But Kiku-san really just wanted to hang out with Mahiru-kun.
That's no different from me and Nazuna-chan.
So all I did was get in the way of someone's love life.
Kiku-san!
D-Don't just decide all this on your own!
Mahiru-kun, I'm a vampire.
Doesn't that bother you?
I'm not sure, but...
I can't get enough of this.
I do know...
that I have feelings for you.
I'm sorry, but I need some more time.
I'm not ready just yet, emotionally.
This one's mine now, for sure.
2nd Night: I've been looking for you.
She's a really capable vampire, Kiku.
VAMPIRES
Doki Doki
SEWING CLUB!!
She's made tons of offspring.
But yeah...
Kiku...
What does she want to do?
She mentioned something weird once.
She said, "I went and turned another one.
I didn't mean for this to happen."
Uh, yikes.
Well long story short, she's a mystery.
Even among vampires, no one seems to know how to deal with her.
I went and told her.
Oh, hello.
Selling flowers?
Uh, yes,
I'm supposed to deliver them here.
Ah, all right.
They're so pretty.
Want this?
Are you sure?
Well, it fell out of the bunch.
Thanks.
What's this flower called?
Hardenbergia, I think.
Does it symbolize anything?
I... I forget.
Really?
Maybe you just don't know.
Next time I see you, let me know.
So there will be a next time?
Next time, huh?!
Yo.
Akira...
How are you both involved with vampires now?
Why? It's creepy.
I don't know what to say.
So, what?
Are you both going to become vampires?
I don't know.
What does it mean to become a vampire?
That's not something I've ever thought about.
What would I do if I did?
How does feeding on blood even work?
How many years would I live?
How could he make up his mind just like that?
Mahiru, can we talk?
Uh, actually...
It's fine. I'll get going.
Mahiru...
It's because Ko's an idiot.
That's all.
What's up?
Well, you haven't bothered hanging out recently.
Like the other day, when you said you couldn't come.
What the heck, man? Are you avoiding us?
Uh, what?
You don't get how he made up his mind, huh?
Of course not, Mahiru.
Because you're smart about things, unlike Ko,
so you don't decide right away.
Sorry.
Truth is, I don't enjoy hanging out with you guys.
You pretend to think it through, but you already know what you want.
Wow, that felt good.
Y'know, sea pineapples? The good ones are real tasty.
Ugh, not for me.
But the bad ones are foul!
Rather, I've never had a good one.
Then I'll treat you sometime!
Mahiru-kun...
Sorry I got you to come on short notice.
Nah, it's fine.
Cutting right to the chase,
how do you think I could turn into a vampire?
Sorry, I mean...
I know the necessary conditions.
But how do you get her to feed on you, Ko?
How?
Huh?
You mean she hasn't had any of your blood?
That's weird.
KIKU-SAN
I heard Kiku-san is a capable vampire who's turned tons of humans.
KIKU-SAN
VAMPIRE
But saying that straight to Mahiru-kun's face would be pretty insensitive.
MAHIRU-KUN
INSENSITIVE
MAHIRU-KUN
She doesn't want to make offspring.
OFF
SPRING
But she does feed from people who fall in love with her.
Don't those two things contradict each other?
INSENSITIVE
OFFSPRING
VAMPIRE
KIKU-SAN
MAHIRU-KUN
I need backup.
Hey, I'm here.
But jeez, it's been getting chilly out, huh?
Mr. Draggo, how have you...
Huh?
Mr. Draggo, you look so much cooler now!
Let's drop that nickname, 'kay?
Call me Akkun.
"Mr. Draggo"?
You're not going to call me Akkun?
He's a vampire I know, and he's such a drag that-
Let's stick to Akkun, okay?
Uh, hello, Akkun-san.
If you want to ask about vampires, I thought it'd be best to ask an actual one.
Makes sense.
If we're gonna talk, can we go someplace warm?
Oh, wait, there's one more.
Hey, Yamori-kun.
Ah!
Hello. What do you want?
Oh hey, you're Seri's.
Hello.
I'm Seri-chan's offspring, Akihito Akiyama.
Okay, and who's this human here?
So...
Yamori-kun, did you forget about keeping vampires under wraps?
You promised you wouldn't blab about us so easily, remember?
You have to do better, or else you'll really-
You smell like vampire.
He's like you?
Mahiru-kun's ready to turn.
Let's not stand around and talk.
Why don't we take this inside somewhere?
KOMORI BATHS
Why the bath house?
Hatsuka-san thought it would be good.
Uh, what the heck?
What? I just want to take a bath.
Why do you sound annoyed?
Don't you ever think about others?
I think this is the perfect place, though.
There's hardly anyone here at this hour,
and it'll be nice and chill, just us guys.
Wh-Wh-What was THAT?!
You didn't know, Akkun-san?
Uh, what the heck?!
I saw man parts! A proper package!
I see, so that's why you chose us, Yamori-kun.
You wanted advice from some fellow guys.
Yup, exactly.
Uh, you could've told me first!
You can't spring this on me.
Oops, my bad.
DAGASHI KASHI ANIME
SEASON 2 on AIR
Wait, Kiku-chan?
Wow, that's unusual.
What do you mean?
That Kiku-chan revealed that she's a vampire.
No one really knows what Kiku-chan's thinking.
Though she's definitely turned more humans than any of us.
I've turned three in all.
The ones you saw before.
Oh, yeah...
I'm surprised you don't, uh, have more.
Is it a surprise?
But it's not all that unusual.
There are actually plenty of vampires who think one offspring is enough.
Midori-chan has one.
I think Niko-chan has five?
Kabura-san has seven,
and Kiku-chan has fifty,
at the very least.
Fif-
Honestly,
I don't know if spilling that to your friend is a good idea.
Rather, it would be better if he gives blood without knowing any of it.
As a vampire, that's the only advice that makes sense.
He's already gotten himself involved, after all.
I get it. I totally do.
Really?
Yup.
I've never met Hoshimi-san, but she must genuinely care about you, Seki-kun.
What she's about to do will completely rob you of the life you were supposed to lead.
That's not a decision to be taken lightly.
I see.
She told you she needs time.
So just wait.
I mean, think about it.
You already bought your ticket to happiness.
Just bide your time, imagining all the joy that your future holds.
For what, you ask?
For the love train to arrive, of course.
Oh my god!
I didn't understand a word he said,
but it was so cool!
Well, in a way, it sounds like she's taking their relationship seriously.
I guess, if you give her the benefit of the doubt.
I don't think you have a choice, Yamori-kun.
Because the two of you had better turn no matter what, or else.
Whew, that felt good.
Nice and refreshing.
Sorry us two talked together the whole time.
How'd your conversation go?
Right, bro?
Uh, what's going on here?
Ko, you know the love train...
What the heck is that?
...it never stops.
Why not?
Umm, at least you two hit it off, I guess...
Huh? Akkun-san, your glasses...
Oh yeah, right.
Of course.
They're fake. No lenses in them.
My eyesight recovered when I turned,
but I've worn glasses for so long, it feels weird without them.
They're different from the ones you used to wear, huh?
That's right.
Yeah, I get it. I totally do.
I try going out in contacts on occasion,
and I catch myself pushing up on my glasses like this, when they're not even there.
Ko...
It just doesn't feel right, you know?
Anyway!
I've been looking for you, Akkun!
And of course,
Yamori-kun, you little liar.
