Strike the Blood (ストライク・ザ・ブラッド)

Hey, have you heard?

What? The Fourth Progenitor?

Perhaps, the Night Countess of Flame (Kaleid Blood)

I heard the Fourth Progenitor really exists.

Wh

Whe

Wher

Where

Where?

Isn't it obvious? Here, in this town.

He's immortal and indestructible, with no relatives or brethren.

He doesn't wish to rule,

and is accompanied only by twelve Familiars, avatars of calamity.

No one can control him.

He is said to be a cruel, nefarious vampire who defies human reason.

Hmm... And?

Well... that's it.

What kind of story was that?

That's not unusual around here at all.

Anyway, what do you think of this yukata?

Not bad.

Hey, that's mean!

This was really hard to put on—

Are you okay?

Ow...

Darn it...

Oh, my sandal strap broke...

You mean your geta strap.

What am I gonna do?

Oh, fine. Come on.

What, dressed like this?

Damn... Give me a break.

Why not? It's not far.

You're such a pervert.

This sucks.

Hey, why do I have to take all these

make-up exams over summer break?

Come on.

After all the classes you ditched and tests you skipped,

do you have to ask why, Kojou?

That was beyond my control!

I had a lot going on...

That teacher knows I'm in

no condition to take a test, first thing in the morning...

Is being unable to get up in the morning a condition?

It's not like you're a vampire.

Right...

But hey, I'm here to watch over your studies

because I pitied you for that.

You should be grateful.

You're eating and drinking on someone else's dime,

and you expect gratitude?

And I'm the one who lent you that money.

Make sure you pay me back.

Itogami City x Itogami Sera

I know, damn it.

You cold-blooded humans.

That's discriminatory.

Thoughtless comments will come back to burn you.

Damn, this world's such a pain.

It's not like any of them even care.

Huh? You have friends among the D types?

Uh... No, I mean in general.

Oh, it's time.

I have to get to work, so I'm taking off.

I'm gonna go, too.

I already finished copying the homework.

Without Asagi, there's no point in studying here, anyway.

But...

Well, thanks for the food, Kojou.

Good luck. See ya later.

I'm not up to this...

Thank you very much.

Damn, I can't even ride the monorail now.

What am I gonna do for lunch tomorrow...

It's hot.

I'm burning.

I'm scorching.

I'm gonna turn to ash.

Am I... being followed?

That school uniform...

Is she from our middle school?

Nagisa's friend?

Doesn't look like I'm gonna lose her anytime soon.

Guess I have no choice.

Fourth Progenitor!

Oh! Mi dispiace! Auguri!

Huh?

I'm Italian who is passing through.

I don't know Japanese very much.

Ciao! Arrivederci! Grazie! Grazie!

Wait a minute, Akatsuki Kojou!

You've got the wrong guy.

Huh?

Try someone else. Later.

The wrong guy?

Wh-What?

Hey, little lady, what's wrong? Your pick-up line failed?

I swear...

Don't make a move on a middle schooler at your age, geezers.

Hey, what's your name? What school are you from?

I'm sorry. I'm in a hurry.

Aw, c'mon. Let's have some fun.

Or do you have something else to do?

Wanna go get something sweet?

How about karaoke?

Our treat, of course.

Demon registration bands...

If you're bored, hang out with us.

I just got paid, so I have plenty of cash.

Please step aside.

Oh, you're cute when you're mad, too!

That makes me want to see what you look like when you're crying...

Excuse me.

I'm telling you to shut up and come with us, bitch!

Bastard!

Drop the attitude!

You little...

Young Lightning!

Is he a therianthrope?

And she sent him flying? She must be...

Are you an attack mage?!

He's a D type!

A vampire, of all things?!

To run into a D type in town in broad daylight...

This must be the place called Itogami Island.

Abnormal magic power detected.

All those in the area, please evacuate immediately.

Repeat: Abnormal magic power detected.

All those in the area, please evacuate immediately.

He's using a Familiar in a place like this?

Now I won't forgive you even if you cry.

I don't need your forgiveness.

Sekkarou!

What do you expect to do with a puny lance like that?

Shakutei! Get her!

It can't be...

She eliminated my Familiar so easily...

Akatsuki Kojou!

Hey. Take your buddy and get out of here.

If you learned anything from this, never hit on middle school girls again.

Or use Familiars in the middle of town.

R-Right, sorry. I owe you one.

And you...

I don't know what you're trying to do, but that was too much.

Why did you interfere?

Interfere?

Any normal person who saw a fight in front of them would want to stop it.

Normal?

No normal person could stop the Schneewalzer with their bare hands.

That's not the point...

Plus, he used magic in a public area,

and even used a Familiar.

These are clear violations of the sacred treaty.

No one would object if he were killed.

Yet, weren't you the one who struck first?

What? That's not...

See? I don't know who you are,

but trying to kill someone just because he saw your

panties is way out of line.

Even if he is a demon, your panties are no reason to—

Did you... see them?

Er, well...

Why are you looking again?!

Whoa! Wait, wait, wait!

That was beyond my control!

It's because you're standing up there!

The wind blowing, your skirt flipping up,

and my eyes being drawn to your flipped skirt

were all acts of nature that I couldn't do anything about!

Enough.

Um, hey...

You're disgusting.

Sheesh...
