Vlad Love (ぶらどらぶ)

Night School

So, anyway...

You've become the first class of the Seijumonji High School night school.

I, Chihiro Chimatsuri, will be your homeroom teacher.

I'll be teaching you all subjects.

No way.

Seriously?

Are you even qualified to do that?

I'll now take attendance to confirm the presence of all our regulars cast members.

Karate Club Captain Masumi Katsuno, blood type O.

Here.

Your subordinates Kanbara, Okada, and Horita.

I hope people remember your names. Blood types, unknown.

Osu!

Don't say "osu" in my presence!

Dance Club Captain Nami Unten, blood type O.

Yes, ma'am.

Cinema Club Captain Maki Watabe, blood type AB.

Cut.

Cosplay Club Captain Kaoru Konno, blood type B.

Here.

Chairman of the Discipline Committee Jinko Sumida, blood type—

I'm a type A perfectionist.

Ostriches are an animal found in zoos,

but compromise is a word not found in my dictionary.

Blood Donation Club Captain Mitsugu Bambam, blood type chimera.

My name isn't Bambam, it's Mitsugu Bamba.

We're only nine students and one teacher right now,

but allow me to introduce our transfer student.

Come on out.

Mai in a school uniform, huh?

Her knock-knee legs look absolutely lovely in blue-black tights.

Her handwriting is great.

You can read that?

My name is Mai Vlad Transylvania.

Estimated age 400 years old, blood type unknown.

She smuggled herself here from the distant Eastern European land of Romania.

Make sure you don't rat her out to the police or immigration control.

Roger!

Now that we've introduced our transfer student, let's jump right into it.

The most standard of all standard school events.

Stake Festival 2020 Night Class 2B Program

I knew it.

I thought it was about time this showed up.

I wish we could take our time democratically determining what we'll do,

but since our budget and time are limited,

based on my arbitrary decision-making and personal prejudices,

the Blood Donation Club's program will feature—

A maid café!

An idol café!

A beef bowl shop!

A standing soba shop!

Fools! That's not what we're doing!

The night school shall participate in the school festival by putting on a play.

A play, huh? That's an appropriate choice.

What will we be performing?

"Konjiki Yasha"

"My Second Brother"

"Lust for Life"

Kiniro Yorumata?

Idiot, it's pronounced "Yasha."

Yasha Yorumata?

Horror.

My Second Brother? What's he second in?

Lust for Life? Is that a porno?

I'm telling you, let's do horror.

Sounds kind of plain.

Shouldn't we go with something flashier for a school festival?

Let's adapt the masterwork Castle of Vania.

Good idea. I agree.

Don't you think that's a little too cliché?

Won't Ko**mi have something to say about that?

That's why it's Castle of Vania.

Castle of Vania

Castle of Vania

I, Kaoru, shall take responsibility for the show.

It'll surely be a success.

Well, we do have the perfect leading lady.

I knew it.

Castle of Vania

The following are the cast and staff roles for the play.

Mai will play Dracula, lady of the castle.

I look forward to working with everyone.

Vampire hunter Simon Belmond will be played by Bambam Mitsugu.

Huh?

What? You're unhappy with your role?

No, not really.

Well, I guess that means Mai and I are the main characters.

Block 1 boss Franken will be played by Katsuno.

It's the only thing to do.

Block 2 boss Medusa will be played by Nami.

Aye, sir.

Block 3 boss Mummy will for some reason by played by me, Chihiro Chimatsuri.

And block 4 boss Reaper will be played by Kaoru.

I'll handle costumes and play a role.

The *****back, later renamed to Flea Man, will be played by Kanbara.

Osu!

The making-of photography and direction will be handled by Maki Watabe.

All right. I get to film a documentary for free.

And production will be handled by—

You haven't forgotten me, have you?

Just so you know, I don't want to do this.

The rest of you will play minor roles like crows and skeletons as appropriate.

Rehearsal begins tomorrow.

That's all.

First Day of Rehearsal

You know, they don't scream in the game.

We're following the disk system version, so it's fine.

They don't scream in the disk system version, either.

Well, whatever.

What kind of rehearsal is this?

I knew I couldn't let you guys handle it.

Do you really think you can adapt that masterwork

for the stage with this lukewarm rehearsal?

Masterwork? Jinko, you used to be a gamer?

Not used to be. I'm still a hardcore gamer.

I won't allow you to tarnish that masterwork with your inferior remake.

Anyway, I know it's sudden, but for various reasons,

allow me to introduce you to your new director.

Nobody told us about that.

Doctor, what do you mean by various reasons?

It's nothing you kids need to know about.

Your new director is the Chairman of the Discipline Committee Jinko Sumida

whom you all hate so much, also known as Jinko Ninagawa.

Her type A blood means she's a methodical perfectionist.

I knew I'd be the perfect director.

What does that mean?

Now that I'm the director, the lukewarm developments we've seen so far...

...are over!

You sound nothing like him.

Ninagawa?

That's Ninagawa...

Stage Name Succession Ninagawa Jinko

Good, good. Things are starting to get exciting.

Second Day of Rehearsal

You idiot!

Sirloin

I told you to walk sluggishly!

In what universe is Franken agile, you idiot?

Don't tip-toe!

No walking on the balls of your feet either, karate boy!

Forget about karate!

W-Wow, her personality has changed completely.

What about my personality?

Whoopsy daisy, my thoughts were leaking again.

Nobody says whoopsy daisy anymore, you Sakurajima radish!

Don't you dare sleep!

Medusa, stop playing with the props!

Reaper, stop dancing around!

Mummy, who gave you permission to smoke?

Why are you filming me?

This degree of perfectionism is annoying.

She's scary.

Your character doesn't go on until the end,

and we probably won't make it that far tonight.

You must be hungry, so you can leave.

Don't mind if I do.

Why are you letting her leave?

Understanding the flow of the play is the most fundamental part of rehearsal.

You think you can run off early just because you're not onstage?

And you call yourself a professional!

But we're not professionals.

I-I'm scared.

Mai is anemic. Cut her some slack tonight.

We'll walk her home!

Go to hell!

Mai-tan, are you leav—

I thought I told you to move sluggishly!

You lousy actors!

You must be tired, Mai. I'm sorry.

We're doing all of this to procure food for you, so try to—

Is something wrong, Mai?

Did you not like that blood?

It's not that.

All I do is cause trouble for everyone.

I really am a worthless vampire.

Mai, you don't have to worry about that.

Everyone feels the same way, but especially me.

I've decided to protect you, no matter what happens.

Why are you willing to do so much for me?

Because since the moment we met, I...

I... I've always...

What are you stammering on about, you radish leaf?

Starting tonight, I'll be training you with this whip!

Take this, cat!

Take this, art objects!

Take this, everything else! I'll whip it all!
