KOMORI TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL
You were a student here, Nazuna-chan?
I dunno. Maybe?
Can vampires even attend school?
Hmm, not sure.
But you think we might find a clue here?
Well, I dunno.
Whoa, hold on! Just listen! Don't look at me like that!
I actually did use to come here.
About ten years ago, I think?
You don't even remember stuff from just ten years ago?
W-Will you stop with that face?!
Will you chill out?
I do remember stuff from ten years ago.
It's just...
something happened that wasn't all that happy.
Huh?
But I guess tonight's about self-discovery.
You'd better come along for the ride.
Let's do this!
Off we go, to find yourself.
Yep.
So then, you substitute that into this equation.
Th-There's a class in session!
Does anyone have any questions so far?
Well, yeah.
It's a night school.
Everyone good?
All right...
For kids who can't go to school during the day,
or adults who want to redo their education.
I never knew such a thing existed.
Hey, you!
You think you can just fall asleep in my class and get away with it?
Oh, uh, sorry, ma'am.
I took on some extra shifts at work and haven't slept much.
Oh, come on.
Hey, Ko-kun.
You'd better not do it again.
Have you noticed?
You've all made the smart choice to further your education.
Huh? Noticed what?
Well, look.
Life is short.
You have to decide how best to use
That's Niko.
the limited time you have.
I want you to look back and think you made the right choice,
and lead a life that you...
We made her freeze.

What the hell are you two doing here?
I'm here to find myself.
Umm, so you're a teacher, Niko-san?
Well, yeah.
Huh? "Find yourself"? Are you kidding me?
No, don't get me wrong.
What do you mean?
We're not here to laugh at you spouting motivational bullshit to a bunch of mortals or anything.
Do you want me to kill you?!
Well, we're actually serious about the self-discovery thing.
You were born a vampire?
With a human and a vampire as parents?
For real?
Yeah, for real. As real as it gets.
Whatever that might mean, I need to know more.
For starters, you two can sit in on my class.
Right, so as you can see,
we have some new students with us today.
Nanakusa-san, go ahead and introduce yourself.
Okay, umm...
M-My name's Nazuna Nanakusa.
Err, well...
Oh, my hobbies are drinking, and gaming, and uh...
What else do I say?
Hmm...
Oh! I'm a vam-
Okay, thank you Nanakusa-san! You and I are going to have a talk after class.
What did she just say?
Vandal?
Vanquisher?
Why would you say that?!
Uh, yeah, I screwed up. I got really nervous somehow.
You get anxious talking in front of people?
I dunno.
I didn't think I did, but...
Okay, moving on to Yamori-kun.
Hello, everyone.
My name is Ko Yamori, and I'll be sitting in on your class today.
I'm still a second-year in middle school, so I can't actually enroll here,
but Hirata-sensei was kind enough to give me special permission to attend.
I doubt I'll be able to keep up with the lesson,
but I see this as an opportunity to learn something more than just academics.
It's very nice to meet you all.
Aw, thank you.
Great speech, man!
Yikes...
Is that what you were like at school?
Um, more or less.
You freak.
Uh, ouch.
Right, now let's get class started.
Okay!
Ah!
Well, that's it for today.
If you have a club to get to, you're free to head on over or whatever.
All right!
Sure!
Yamori-kun, was it?
You're in middle school?
That introduction, though!
You were so articulate.
What brings you here?
Which school you at?
Umm, Komori...
Hey, I went there! You're my junior!
Well, always glad to meet another local.
Were you okay keeping up with today's class?
What's wrong?
Nanakusa-san was it? You know her?
How's your ego this fragile?
I mean, I'm supposed to be a vampire.
It doesn't seem right that I'm less popular than Ko-kun when he's just a human.
What? Really?
You never cared about that stuff before.
It's a change, for sure.
Well, for the better, I mean.
Stop that!
So anyway, Nazuna.
Do you remember anything about Mejiro-chan?
Whew, I finally got away.

Kyoko Mejiro
"Diary"?
She appeared out of nowhere.
As if it was meant to be.
I thought she had a crush.
On you.
Wasn't she the first person you ever considered turning?
She says her name is
Nazuna Nanakusa.
What kept you, Yamori-kun?
Where's Nazuna-chan?
She went to fetch you...

LITERATURE CLUB
That booklet...
You read it?
Who is this Mejiro person?
Nazuna's very first human friend, who she met in the Literature Club room.
Her first friend?
But I thought that was me...
What?
Hey!
You're quite the charmer.
You too.
I read Mejiro-san's diary and got an idea of what you used to be like.
Though I wish I could have heard it from you directly.
Well, I never meant to tell you, ever.
But okay, I'll tell you everything.
First off, Kyoko Mejiro's parents died in their home here.
Right in front of their daughter.
The one who destroyed Mejiro's family...
was a vampire.

Ah, good evening, Nanakusa.
I thought it was about time you came.
7th Night: You're too stupid for that.
Right, so as you can see,
we have a new student with us today.
Nanakusa-san, go ahead and introduce yourself.
TEN
YEARS
AGO
Okay, well, umm...
M-My name's Nazuna Nanakusa.
What, is that all you've got?!
Dude, you're intimidating her.
What?
Why are they all laughing at me?
I guess they have classes during the day too.
That's weird to think about.
Maybe I can find an empty room.
SUNNY WITH A
CHANCE OF PEOPLE
And who might you be?
Nazuna Nanakusa.
Can I hang out here?
If you'd like.
...san. Nazuna Nanakusa-san!
Hello?
She won't wake up...
If you don't wake up, I'm going to kiss you.
Can I?
I mean it!
Whoops.
Woke you up, did I?
Wha...wha...
What was that?! Why?!
A cute girl like you can't fall asleep and not expect that.
What the heck? What's wrong with you?!
What, do you always pull this kind of crap?
No.
I've never done anything like this in my life!
That freaks me out even worse, somehow.
So, what? You're attracted to girls?
Does it matter?
Anyone can fall in love with anyone.
Okay, true.
Well, not that I'm into girls in particular.
What is up with you?
Though I don't care for men.
All the women I know are super into guys.
Seems unusual.
Hmm, is that so?
Do you not like unusual women?
I think that's fine.
Ah...
By the way, I think you might have missed the start of class.
Oh, whatever.
You don't care?
It wasn't all that fun, anyway.
That's true.
The way you said that,
you made it sound like it's your first time attending school or something.
Well, it is. So?
A-And you thought it made sense to call me "unusual"?!
I got laughed at again...
Did I upset you?
I'm sorry.
If you'd rather leave, go right ahead.
I'm going to keep reading a while longer.
I asked if I can hang out here from the start, didn't I?
If you'd like, sure.
The girl, Nazuna Nanakusa...
What're you reading?
Mystery novels...
Stories about people dying?
Stories about detectives hard at work, I suppose.
She's surprisingly naïve, and absorbs
information like a young child.
What's the matter? Why the grim face?
Was my recommendation not to your liking?
In that case, what kind of book would you-
Mejiro-senpai!
Isn't there more after this book?!
VERTIGO 1
There is.
WELCOME TO THE LITERATURE CLUB!
When I grow up,
I wanna be a detective!
Detectives are so cool...
I think you're too stupid for that, Nanakusa-san.
What did you say, huh?!
Then you think you'd manage, huh?
Hmm, well...
I don't think actual detectives do dramatic work like in the novels,
where they crack the case and catch the culprit.
It's a lot less glamorous,
like investigating affairs or victims of secretly-taken photos.
So I'm not that interested to begin with.
They don't exist? Cool detectives?
It's all a lie?
Sorry, of course they might exist!
That was stupid of me!
Almost like a newborn, talking with
others for the first time.
Yet sometimes...
her expression changes
abruptly...
...making her look
oddly intellectual.
I always thought you seemed pretty neat.
W-Would you wanna go out with me?
Apologies, but I don't feel the same way about you,
and I don't even know your name.
And yet you want a relationship with me,
which must mean you like my looks?
Sorry to say, I'm not a fan of my own appearance.
Or what?
Did you think I'd be a pushover?
That a quiet girl like me would gladly fall for you?
Or that even if I said no, I wasn't likely to tell anyone?
Sorry, I shouldn't have.
S-Sorry!
I didn't mean to see anything...
Don't worry about it.
Wasn't that harsh?
You didn't have to be so mean.
Well, that's a surprise!
I didn't know you were capable of sympathy, Nanakusa.
Wow, what is wrong with you?
He wanted to take a shot without the risk.
If he got lucky, he'd score a girlfriend.
That's how guys single out girls.
You seem awfully harsh on guys.
You think so?
Yeah, I know you enough after all this time.
You don't lie very often.
But right now, you're not entirely truthful.
With every interaction, this girl...
Can't fool you, huh?
becomes more human.
See, I hate my own father.
He fights with my mother all the time.
They argue over whether or not he's cheating.
My mother's always crying.
That's why I don't want to go home.
My father's fake smile pretending like nothing's wrong...
My mother's face in tears...
None of that's great.
Sorry.
You don't want to hear all this.
How are you supposed to react, right?
That's why I didn't really want to talk about it.
Huh?
Sorry, I didn't get all that. Can you say it again?
What?!
Uh, m-my family doesn't get along, that's it.
I mean...
Well, I don't have any family so it's hard for me to imagine.
Were you waiting to drop that bombshell or what?!
What's your life even like?
I've been living on my own for as long as I can remember,
but my memory's pretty hazy going back.
Anyway, hope your family finds a way to get along!
But you know,
if you always went home like most people do, I never would have found you here.
I'm glad you were here!
This girl...
Is that so?
But he might be cheating, hmm?
Hey, Senpai.
Nazuna Nanakusa...
Why don't we investigate, then?
I want the chance to be a detective, remember?
is so very fascinating.
S-Seems like you two were super close.
Why do I have to listen to all this?
Someone sounds clingy and jealous!
But you see, it didn't work out.
Huh?
Things ended, and that's why I'm here.
Whoa, I've never worn a school uniform before.
You look amazing. I could smooch you!
Will you stop being stupid?
And why am I the one in uniform?
Very astute observation.
A good private eye must blend into the crowd and remain forgettable whatever they do.
And that means making sure the outfit is appropriate.
You may want to look the part...
but busting out detective gear is laughably foolish.
Nobody should remember you.
That's the number one rule.
Now, let's get going, my dear Watson!
With all due respect, have you considered taking an objective look at yourself?
Oh, why so polite all of a sudden?
Okay, jokes aside.
Come with me, Nanakusa.
This is my father's room.
Let the investigation begin.
What was that room we just changed in?
Our living room.
We eat there, and it's where my mother and I sleep.
Don't you have your own rooms?
I did request my own room once.
It's not like they don't have the money for it, either.
I'm pretty sure they were considering moving at some point,
but those plans just kind of disappeared.
Wallgates is loading...
Whoa! It's moving!
There's stuff moving! Is this bad?!
Is civilization new to you or something?

LOGGING YOU IN
I guess I was wrong.
What's going on? Are you upset?
Well, it's frustration, plus...
some relief and rage all at once.
Wow, sounds messy.
But really, there's nothing here.
Aside from what looks like some work-related files.
PHOTOS
What if they're smutty pics?
I'd be amazed he was comfortable doing that in this tiny apartment.
Who's this?
Me...
From when?
First day of elementary school, I think.
You totally grew up in a loving home.
This is so embarrassing!
SHUTTING DOWN
No clues or anything.
Maybe he isn't cheating, after all.
Well, I'd be fine with that.
What's that?
It's a drawer with a lock on it.
You know what we'll do?
There, and, presto!
You know, you're more like a thief than a sleuth.
They're not that different, actually.
Now, let's see...
Will you look at that.
This was a present I gave him.
Looks like he treasures it.
I'm not so sure.
Maybe he doesn't need it, or want it,
and that's why it's locked away here.
This hasn't ever been used.
It's still brand new.
I guess he didn't want to use some gift from me.
Maybe he quit smoking.
Sure, maybe.
