Vampire Stories: Brothers (ヴァンパイア・ストーリーズ)

Sei! And Shu-san too! We are about to start!

Hisako-san as well!

We are coming!

Now that we barbecued the meat, let's have the best time of our lives!

Toshima University's Ski Club...

Cheers!

Sei.

Oh.

I...

What's wrong?

Sei! Say something!

Sei!

Hey! Sei!

Sei!

Sorry.

Even though I invited you, we have to leave early.

It's alright.

I'm more than satisfied.

In any case, worry about yourself right now.

You really scared me.

I'm really sorry.

This is your home.

It's alright! I will protect you!

Yes.

I'm home!

Please come.

I'm home.

Who are they?

They are your new family.

I'm Ai! Nice to meet you.

I'm Sei.

I'm Midori!

Sei, call Ai-nii.

Why do you call me without honorifics? I'm older than you!

It can't be help.

You are unreliable!

Hey!

Man, why does she always...

Don't look!

Sei?

Are you OK?

Yeah.

Dreaming about Ai-nii?

Huh?

You were saying "big brother" in your sleep.

Yeah.

It's been 5 years since Ai-nii passed away...

I wonder if Sei-kun is alright.

He's going to be alright! Midori-chan is with him!

Midori is good! She's cute and reliable.

I want a younger sister like her!

Now that you mention it...

Those two...

It seems they are not blood related.

And they are that friendly?

There must be something~

No there isn't!

Hey.

Are you really alright?

It seems I'm fine after I slept.

Midori, Sei. Are you guys alright?

Oh! It's from dad.

I'm sorry.

It seems I won't be around for 3 months because of my job.

Huh? Again!?

I'll call again.

Sorry.

I wonder when he will be home.

It can't be helped. It's his job after all.

Oh yeah...

You didn't eat while you were there, do you want me to buy something for you?

It's alright. I'm not hungry.

OK.

Open your mouth!

Huh?

Come on.

Why?

Come on.

It's already worn out. And I just got it.

Sei!

The toothbrush is worn out again!

Are you not using it right?

Really?

Last night, in the Yamanashi Prefecture, there were 4 dead bodies found in the 30-6 area.

They were all around the age of 20.

From their student ID cards, it seems that they were from Toshima University.

The scene is currently being investigated...

I'm sorry! Pick it up for me!

You two participated in the club trip with the 4 victims yesterday?

Sei-san is one of the club members...

Midori-san participated through Sei-san's invitation.

I'm not wrong right?

Yes.

Why did you two leave in the middle of the trip?

Sei...

He got sick during the trip.

I was worried about him going back home, so I went with him.

And the victims were coincidently attacked...

Sei-san, when you were 5...

Your parents passed away...

You came to the Kawagashi house with your older brother Ai-san.

That older brother passed away and you don't know what happened.

That's...

Is that related?

I'm just checking.

Um...

Midori-san's parents work in a trading company.

They went overseas last year...

And now Sei-san and Midori-san are living by themselves.

Everyone...

How did they die?

We are investigating it.

All I can say is...

He must be a master assassin.

What do you mean?

Everyone died because of blood loss...

We can't find any blood that should have leaked out at the crime scene.

Akagi Shu...

Akiyama Hisako...

You know them right?

They are my club friends.

They both traveled with you right?

They as well...?

We don't know where they are.

There is a high chance that they saw the crime.

Or in other words, directly involved...

Well, that is only a possibility.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I will talk to you guys another day.

I can't accept the fact...

Everyone is dead...

They all had fun with us.

Sei...

Sei.

It's been a while.

Sei!

Huh?

Ai-nii...

But...

It is great that you are fine.

Yeah.

Right Sei?

Us siblings will be together for Sei's 20th birthday!

What is this?

5 years ago.

How much do you think Midori and I worried about you!?

You didn't contact us once.

What have you been doing!?

Sei! Calm down!

Sorry for worrying you.

Sei!

Today...

We just got back from the police.

Sei's friends from his club...

Died suddenly.

Therefore...

He might be out of order.

Ai-nii.

What are you going to do?

Oh...

Actually...

I was wondering how I will clean up all the messes I created.

Then come back home.

For sure...

I think Sei wants you back.

I'll talk to him about it.

Then I'll tidy up your room!

Midori.

I have to sort things out up till today.

I'll grab my things and move back tomorrow.

Welcome home.

Ai-nii.

Ai-nii...

After he is done sorting this out...

He will come home tomorrow.

It has been a while since we had food together...

I have to make something proper.

Ai-nii liked pasta right?

I wonder if this is good.

I don't know...

You're so coldhearted.

Even though I will make your favorite!

Stop it.

I think you might have a lot of things in your head since a lot happened today.

Ai-nii as well...

A lot of things happened to him too.

But...

If we let him go now...

I feel that we won't see him ever again.

Are you OK with that Sei?

Midori...

I'm a little perplexed as well.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that I didn't notice that you were troubled as well.

You can do whatever you want Midori.

Ai-sama.

They are starting to move.

Please be careful.

Is that so?

Sei.
