Kabura-chan, one more.
Just one more pub!
You keep saying that and we've been to how many already?
You've had more than enough.
Don't say that.
You're enjoying drinking as much as I am!
Well, yes, I suppose.
I never knew getting drunk was so uninhibiting and fun.
Hey there, ladies.
Looking to drink some more?
Wanna join us?
Drinks are on us.
Sure, why not?
No more.
Can't keep up...
Oh, hey!
The director says they can hire you at the hospital.
Wow, really?
Yeah, totally.
'Cuz you know, the director's a vampire too.
I never knew that!
Huh, didn't I tell you?
You so did not!
I'll work really hard. I promise.
Here.
You'd better savor this.
Thanks so much!
Yay, blood!
You gotta learn to hunt for yourself soon, okay?
The hospital doesn't have endless reserves of the stuff.
I know that, but...
Still...
Well, you can take your time.
Anyway, time for work!

How it happened Ikisatsu
Before I turned into a vampire, I saved some of my human blood.
I take periodic sips of it now to reconstruct my memory.
Do you have any questions so far?
So who is Haru Nanakusa, anyway?
She's not me, I take it?
I'm about to get to that part.
But before that, come sit over here, Nazuna.
Let me do your hair for you.
Hey, sorry I'm late.
You seem so busy lately, Haru-san. You never hang out anymore!
I know, I'm sorry!
Oh, lemme get oolong tea.
Not beer?
Is it okay if I drink?
Sure, go right ahead.
I'm just trying to look after myself a bit better.
Look after yourself?
Don't tell me you're on a diet?
Of course not!
It's not like that.
Well then, cheers!
So anyway, I wanted to give you a proper heads up.
See...
I'm thinking of getting married.
Uh, what the heck?!
I'm soaked!
Ahh, I'm so sorry! It wasn't on purpose!
Can I at least pay for the dry cleaning bill?
This is nothing. It's not a problem, miss.
Oh, whew!
Oh, and can you get her another beer, please?
Sure thing!
Okay, what were we talking about again?
Uhhh, right...
Not legally married though, we'll just act like we are.
It's with another vampire, then?
Another beer, coming right up!
Nah, a human.
No problemo!
Oh, good!
A human?
What do you mean?
Why?
Well... I thought it might be interesting.
Oh, besides...
I have a kid in here already.
Seriously, who knew I'd even conceive, right?
Still cool!
Dude, I feel so bad.
It's all good!
I'm not Haru-san's lover,
and I can't make children with her.
I'm just one of her offspring.
I'm sorry, Kabura-chan.
"Dear Kabura-chan,
I can't apologize enough that I'm saying goodbye like this."
"I actually have a favor to ask."
"I'm hoping you could you check in on my kid from time to time."
"She is the child of a vampire and a human."
"I have no idea how she'll develop from here."
"I know this is asking a lot of you,
but you're the only one I can rely on."
"I don't know if she'll know how to drink blood."
"Or will she eat human food instead?"
"I didn't have enough time to find out."
"Clearly, she's no ordinary human."
"However, she has never woken up."
"Kabura-chan, please..."
"Take care of our daughter."
No...
I don't want to.
I'll kill it.
The whole thing's stupid, anyway.
A mix between a vampire and a human?
It might even be dead already.
"The resemblance might shock you,
but I definitely gave birth to her."
"Her name is..."
Good morning...
Nazuna.
Nazuna,
you are the child of a vampire named Haru Nanakusa and a human.
I took it on myself to look after you, at Haru-san's request.
You've been a vampire since birth.
There, all done.
Do you have any more questions?
Thanks...
Wait, what the heck?
You mean Nazuna-chan never fell in love to get turned?
Obviously.
You're slow on the uptake, aren't you?
Yeah, Ko-kun.
M-My bad...
Huh?! You've just accepted all of this, Nazuna-chan?
What else can I do? I've gotta believe her.
Anyway, Kabura, can I ask you something?
Go ahead.
Vampires forget the memories of when they were human, right?
I was born a vampire, but I don't remember anything.
Why's that?
Yamori-kun, how old are you now?
You mean my age?
Fourteen.
Do you remember what you were like when you were three?
How about two?
What was your first word ever?
Can you give me an accurate description of the moment you became self-aware?
When I met Nazuna for the first time, her mental state was that of an infant.
She didn't even know how to talk.
I had no experience raising a child so I was completely lost.
To teach her how to feed, I gave her some blood reserved for vampires.
That's when I made that patient ID card.
Even though I was the only one who'd see it.
When I found her, she already looked exactly as she does now.
She's a vampire-human hybrid. I never even questioned it.
For the next little while, I taught her how to talk, and-
OFF LIMITS
I've said enough.
Don't come here anymore.
But we still haven't...
Seeing Nazuna's face brings back painful memories.
It's irritating.
The few years I spent with you...
They were nothing but torture.
Th-This is good news, right?
If you were never human, you don't have a weakness.
That means we don't have to worry about that detective murdering you.
Whenever I look at Kabura, I get this weird feeling.
Like I'm annoyed.
It's unsettling and awkward.
I guess the feeling was mutual.
Nazuna-chan...
Y-You've been taking the patients' blood?!
I can't believe you'd do that!
Hey, relax.
We just siphon off a bit when we draw blood.
No one'll notice.
We've got a reserve of your blood too. I'll give you that sometime.
Uhhh, what?
I guess these aren't true memories, either.
Hey, Haru-san?
Was I able to do what you asked?
Did I do an okay job?
Umm, can I ask one last thing?
You're still here? Where's Nazuna?
It's just me.
I asked her to wait for a moment.
Any guy who makes a girl wait is bad news.
What do you want? Make it quick.
Kabura-san...
Are you sure you weren't lying?
What do you mean by that?
Like how you said you get irritated when you see Nazuna-chan.
It wasn't a lie.
I mean, that's not how it looks like to me!
That's your personal opinion, nothing more.
Sure, it is.
Whenever you're talking to Nazuna-chan, you seem caring and kind!
Am I wrong about that?
What did I look like?
You seemed to care what kind of human she was hanging out with,
first with concern, then with relief.
Kind of like...
how a mother would act, maybe.
I see...
Haru-san, did I do an okay job?
Was I able to make up for you not being here?
Fine, for now, let's say you're not wrong in your speculation.
Maybe a part of me did feel that way.
Then-
But listen, Yamori-kun.
You won't ever understand me.
Don't flatter yourself.
Don't act like you know me.
It's insulting.
I hear you've yet to experience love, Yamori-kun.
Uh, that's right.
Haru-san was my first love.
Of course, that's just what my human memories tell me,
and I don't actually remember.
In any case, I'm probably a lost cause.
I wanted to know why Haru-san decided to drink my blood,
to understand, and become like her.
That's why I feed on blood.
Yamori-kun, don't end up like me.
Build a good relationship with Nazuna.
Sorry, thanks for waiting.
What were you up to?
I just wanted to ask something.
You're such an idiot, Ko-kun.
Kabura wasn't lying.
That irritation she feels, it's real.
Think about it.
The love of her life got knocked up by some guy and then she got stuck looking after the kid.
Worse, the kid's the splitting image of the mom.
I'm lucky she even let me live.
But I realize something now.
I'm pretty sure Kabura has always done my hair for me.
Haru-san, why?
Why did you have to leave me?
Why?!
This tastes awful.
Guess I'll go show my face sometimes.
What?!
Even though she said not to come anymore?!
5th Night: The few years I spent with you...
Yeah, still gonna.
Nazuna Nanakusa is a vampire.
The child of a vampire and a human,
her age is probably somewhere around thirty-five to forty.
She's never turned anyone.
A human gets turned when they fall in love with a vampire who then feeds on their blood.
However, Nazuna Nanakusa was born a vampire.
Which means she has never fallen in love.
Why are you staring at me like that?
What's up with you?
Uh, Ko-kun?
Are you that glad it turned out I've always been a vampire?
Men are such stupid creatures.
When it comes down to it, you want your women to be pure and untouched by anyone else.
Ugh, that's just creepy!
Wh-Why would you put it like that?
Look, your personality is shaped by your past, right?
So if you ever fall in love, it's built on past experiences.
Hey, ain't that right, Kabura?
You thought you could just trespass again?
Want me to call the cops?
KOMORI THIRD HOSPITAL
You were just here yesterday.
Didn't I say not to come back?
Oh, come on. What's the big deal?
Bet it gets lonely on your own here, right?
Besides, today there's something else we-
Let me stop you right there.
First, on one condition.
All right, you may continue.
What is it?
I can't even talk without a nurse's uniform on?!
And why does my condition seem worse than yesterday?
I mean, I don't really mind.
But what's the point?
Now that I think about it, I always felt sort of awkward around Kabura...
...because I thought, "The way she looks at me sometimes seems kind of passionate and weird."
Nazuna, we need to get up close and personal to chat, don't you think?
Oh, in fact, why don't you sit on my lap?
I'm sure we'll hear each other better that way.
Yamori-kun, why don't you leave?
Ugh, too weird! Help, Ko-kun!
Kabura-san, what happened to you?
So coming in contact with a personal item from our human days can debilitate a vampire?
The dearer the item, the greater the effect.
Makes sense.
We came today because we wanted to let you know.
Like those things in that room...
Right.
I had a feeling it might be something like that,
because my head hurts whenever I enter that room.
The books and notebooks left in there...
None of them are too significant, so I suppose a headache is the worst I get.
And the photo I didn't develop until after I turned.
Still, I'll have to get rid of them.
I've made up my mind.
I'm grateful you told me about this.
It's fine.
Though I can't believe I have to deal with my past after all this time.
Will you be okay doing it alone?
Please, I'm more coveted than you think.
I have my own offspring who would do anything for me, obviously.
Of course you do.
Anything else?
Let's see...
Just watch out for the detective, I guess.
That detective...
Why do you suppose she kills vampires?
She says vampires are "evil."
That they bring people misfortune.
What a nasty thing to say.
Can you tell me her name?
Uhhh, hold on...
Private Detective
Anko Uguisu
Anko Uguisu, was what she said.
Uguisu...
Well, I'll be careful.
Nazuna-chan...
You know how you said earlier that your past shapes your personality?
What about it?
Denshinbashira no neiki ga Telephone poles snoozing
Whoa!
Kansen douro no akubi ga Highways yawning
Utatane shita jihanki ga Vending machines dozing
That detective...
Something must have happened

do you think she would get along with vampires?
