Servamp (サーヴァンプ)

Look inside more carefully!

Don't you see a small Kuro rolling around inside?

I don't see anything.

Hey. Stop, Hot Springs Guy.

I'm a delicate ball right now. Handle me with care.

See? He just spoke!

I don't hear anything.

Huh?!

It just looks like a solid black ball to us.

But you can hear his voice, right?

Either way.

The man of Sloth can get out if we break this black ball, right?

Tetsu! Be careful not to hurt Kuro!

Right.

Kuro, tell us if it hurts!

We haven't done anything yet!

Here I go!

Oh. Wait, Tetsu.

Huh?

That's not it.

This isn't the right way to get Kuro back.

What do you mean?

Mahiru...

Thinking simply, I should be the one to do it!

I have to do it with my own hands!

That isn't the problem here...

Even Big Bro Mahiru can't break it...

Well, maybe we're going about it wrong.

Tetsu, you have a guest.

Licht has been kidnapped?

I-I'm sorry!

I went to go save him, but I couldn't do anything.

Licht-san even protected me.

Even Lawless.

This Tsubaki fellow must be quite a strong vampire.

I'm glad to see that you're still safe.

I'm very sorry!

No, I should take this chance...

...to ask Tsubaki how to quiet those two down!

Kranz-san! Please calm down!

We will definitely rescue those two before midnight.

Rescuing them is our priority. We'll try to avoid any conflict.

Can that mascot fight at all?

Gill is the subclass of Lawless. He is quite good at fighting.

First, we have to hide our hostage from Tsubaki.

It's hard to believe he'll trade hostages quietly.

Hey, Misono.

We can let Lila free once we get Lawless and Licht-san, right?

It'd be best if we could rescue them without giving up our hostage.

We might be able to use him for other negotiations...

No, we should give him back!

Getting them back is enough. You said it was a trade on the phone.

Fine! Fine!

You are such a hard-headed bastard!

U-Um, Mahiru.

Hm?

Thank you.

Why are you doing this for me?

Didn't I already say?

It's not that I want to fight.

It's better to solve things peacefully if we can.

Do you have a way to fight against vampires, Kranz-san?

You need this to take care of vampires, right?

A water gun?

Lend me a hand.

What is it?

This isn't normal water.

It doesn't hurt normal people, but against vampires...

Hugh!

Huh?! You were a vampire?

He looks the most vampire-like of us all!

I can slow down the vampires a bit with this holy water.

What in the world?!

Such a rude man!

No, sorry about that.

No! No! No! No!

I use this when Lawless gets too unreasonable.

We have to stay at the top floor of hotels!

So there are tools like this, too.

Where did you get it?

There's an antique dealer that deals with this kind of thing.

Antique dealer?!

Yeah, he's a bit of a peculiar fellow.

You know him?

It has to be him.

I'll try stopping by his shop.

That man is no good.

Huh? Why?

He just isn't! Don't trust him!

But!

N-Now, now, Misono.

There's not much choice.

And I might be able to ask him and the Servamp of Envy to help us.

Then, we'll separate ways here.

There isn't much time.

Misono. Tetsu.

Don't be too reckless.

Hmph!

That's the last thing I want to hear coming out of your mouth!

It'll be fine.

Being reckless is about the only thing I can do.

You make it sound like I made a completely reckless plan!

No, I trust you.

Um, I'm very sorry about Licht-san.

Licht-san has amazing talent as the Eve of a Servamp.

Licht would hate hearing you say the word "talent."

Huh?

Licht grew up in the countryside of Vienna,

as a normal child who liked climbing trees.

He started playing the piano completely on his own.

Day after day, he sat at the piano, imagining the tears of a grand audience.

Then, at a certain competition when he was seven...

His parents, who travelled the world to perform concerts,

both came for the first time to listen.

Licht was very happy, but his hair turned white from the nervousness.

He was going to make his dream a reality in front of his parents.

Not only his hair, but his mind went completely blank as well.

However...

...his hard work didn't betray him.

Someone described it as an angel descending.

One part of Licht's hair is white, right?

It's the only part that doesn't grow back black.

It isn't talent that accomplishes things, but imagination and effort.

So depending on your effort, you could become a world-renowned pianist!

Oh, you still think I want to become a pianist.

I hope the place is easy to find.

I'm so sleepy from your recklessness.

I'm going to sleep.

Hey, Kuro.

You awake?

Are you...?

What?! Fox! From where?!

Too bad.

My subclass isn't with you?

That voice!

Kuro! Hide!

There wasn't an explosion? An illusion?

Was that black fox... Tsubaki?!

What's going on?

That was a terrible wake-up call.

Kuro! Are you okay?

Of course I am.

I'm a vampire.

I'm immortal.

You should worry about yourself more.

You're not too convincing in that form!

But...

I'm relieved you're still able to wise-crack.

Tsubaki is already on the move.

Let's hurry, Kuro!

Shirota Mahiru doesn't have the hostage.

Too bad.

Wrong guy.

Then, next...

Miku-Miku, welcome back!

Huh?

Well, I have something to report.

I broke something you treasure today.

But, you know, it's your fault for putting something you value in my reach...

H-Huh?

See this?

The head came off. It's okay, though!

I melted the head and made it into a special juice!

Now you can become one with the one you love so much!

Cheers!

Hm?

Hm?

Who are you?

Who are you?

This place is more like a general store than an antique store.

Um, is this place, well...

Mikuni isn't here right now.

Mikuni?

Um, are you a friend of Mikuni-san?

Friend? Of that guy?

Gross.

Huh?

What about you? Are you one of Mikuni's servants?

I'm not!

I am an acquaintance of his named Shirota Mahiru.

So, Satou Haruka-kun.

Who?! My name is Shirota Mahiru!

Every syllable was wrong!

Hm? Shirota Mahiru?

Welcome to my research laboratory!

Now, now. Sit down, Yamada Kakeru-kun!

My name is Shirota Mahiru!

It's time for fun experiments with the doctor!

Have some tea!

Wait, what's going on?

I welcome you, Eve of Sloth!

Cheers! Hanaoka Mitsuru-kun!

Who the hell is that?!

Hmm, I'm not good at remembering people's names.

There's not much meaning in it.

H-Hey, what are you doing?!

Shirota Mahiru.

There we go.

Welcome, Shirota Mahiru-kun!

U-Um, who are you?!
