Servamp (サーヴァンプ)

Huh? What happened?

A blackout?

Bastard! You have good senses!

You even saw through my height!

You thought I wouldn't be able to tell?!

Could it be that Greed and his Eve have already been moved?

No, they have made such thorough preparations.

Sendagaya! I am going down! Use the stairs and head up!

Leave it to me.

Lilly and I will be able to stop this guy.

Now, then.

I wonder who will come out to greet me.

Huh?

I don't even feel like laughing.

What will you do about this heavy atmosphere?

So you're Tsubaki?

Whoa.

That's a very gruff voice for such a cute exterior.

I heard our Servamp and Eve have been under your care.

Oh, I see. You're the subclass of Greed.

Even though he's a shitty brat, he's our boss.

It's our long-standing job to punish that kid.

He ain't yours. We'll be taking them back.

Well, I was thinking of settling things with the keys to their room.

Keys?!

Hey. You're probably serious, but it looks like you're joking, so can you stop?

So, where is my subclass?

He's here. He's in one of these mascot costumes.

Inside?

I see.

So if I attack carelessly, I might hurt my subclass.

Well, I wonder what I should do.

Wait, whoa.

You're being awfully flashy.

I see. We must be on Arisuin's private property or something.

I thought there would be a more elaborate trap.

Either there wasn't enough time,

or it's an issue with the personality of the one in charge.

Well, it's fine.

As long as there's a chance my subclass is here, I won't leave.

I'm the type that goes all out in any kind of game.

Are you ready?

Hmm. Mascot costumes are thick, so I can't tell if there are two people inside.

Playing hide-and-seek with whales in a forest.

I actually kind of like this meaningless situation.

Not interesting at all.

Let's continue.

It's so sad if the last child isn't found in hide-and-seek.

Now, shall we play?

The bottom floor.

Gill and the others can only hold him back for so long.

We have to save the Greed pair quickly.

According to our information, Tsubaki has five subclass that are skilled in battle.

Amongst them, the strongest is the man called Higan.

If the Greed pair are separated beyond their distance limit...

...the enemy should have split into two teams to protect them.

Higan with one hostage and three or four subclass with the other.

Hmph. With Tsubaki gone, subclass are no match for Tetsu and I.

I'll just have to believe in your confidence for now.

Our job is to stop as many subclass as we can.

My Lilly isn't suited for combat.

Now, how many of Tsubaki's subclass are here?

What? Why is no one here?

What? Something unexpected happen?

Misono! Stand back!

Something is wrong.

I don't feel anyone's presence here.

What's going on?!

You made a few miscalculations.

"They have separated the Greed pair beyond their distance limit."

"Because of that, the subclass have split into two teams to protect the top and bottom floors."

You don't understand Tsubaki-san at all.

He hates being on the defense.

He doesn't like conservative methods.

He loves doing things flashy.

Who knows if we'll let them stay together.

He misdirected us from the beginning!

You were mistaken from the beginning.

Our goal isn't to protect Greed.

It's to use Greed as bait to crush Pride.

They got us.

Lawless and Todoroki are both on the top floor.

I'm the one who was stopped.

What?! This guy is only 14?!

Wow, that's such a surprise for this old man!

Higan, how long do you plan on fooling around?

Oops.

I'm not excited to fight against children, but it can't be helped.

Looks like the hostages are definitely past them.

Yes, but the number of enemies...

Do not worry, Tetsu.

I shall not betray your expectations.

Misono!

I have to defeat him quickly and head up, but...

The winner or loser is decided by why can be the cruelest to the end.

Become cruel.

Provoke and shake your opponent.

Watanuki Sakuya, who are you right now?

Even now, Shirota thinks of a bastard like you as a dear friend.

You! All of you! Mahiru doesn't understand!

He doesn't get the meaning of this war.

Meaning?

Tsubaki-san is searching, but he still doesn't know what the key is.

It might be revenge. It might be something even more terrifying.

So a war between vampires isn't his goal?

The war is a way to find the key.

That's why he's playing around in such a roundabout way.

What is he looking for?

That's...

It hurts. Shit.

Where am I?

Shit. I just know this is that rotten hedgehog's fault.

I'll kill him!

Man, this is seriously disgusting.

I'm hearing things?

I can hear Lich-tan's voice.

Is it because Angel-chan is about to die?

I wonder how many hours it's been.

See?

See?! Look! Even Angel-chan will die! He'll never become anything!

He's so arrogant! Because I'm an angel, he says?!

Don't make me laugh!

Scratch that! It's not funny at all!

Shut up, rotten hedgehog!

Huh?

I won't die.

That's because I'm an angel.

Seriously, I hate the voices.

It's troublesome our minds are connected by contract.

I end up hearing death throes like this in my head.

I don't want to hear your voice, either!

Huh? Seriously?

Am I really hearing your voice directly?!

You're so annoying, you rotten hedgehog. Shut up.

Could it be you're on the other side?

You were caught after me, Lich-tan? How uncool.

Don't talk. I'll kill you.

Yeah. Okay. Okay.

Lich-tan, you're hurt, aren't you?

My wounds won't heal at all, either.

Lich-tan, what will you do if you die like this?

It's true you're a great pianist,

but there are other amazing pianists out there, too.

There's nothing unique in this world.

I'm trying to tell you that I am unique.

No, like I said!

You're not special, Lich-tan!

The audience will applause and cry even if it isn't you!

Just like they do the others!

It's completely different.

What's different about it?

What's inside.

What are you talking about?!

What are you running away from?

Lich-tan, you don't get it at all! You're stupid for having so many dreams and hopes!

It's all meaningless!

You're the stupid one!

An idiot who has no dreams to speak of!

You'll end up dying meaninglessly! You'll never become anything!

I won't die! That's because—

Just shut up! Shut up!

No one has any worth to begin with! You can't change that!

You're so freakin' noisy on the other side of the wall, rotten hedgehog!

Get over here!

You're really stupid, aren't you?!

We're in this situation because we can't get out!

If I could, I would have already—

Can't talk back when we're face-to-face?

Small-fry hedgehog.

Is this... a desert?

Kuro?

You're Kuro's...

Hey. Kuro doesn't want to see you.

You're lying.

I can hear it.

According to calculations, there's no one ahead.

Hey. Good morning. Good evening.

Hey. Good morning.

From below?!

But how do I go below a desert?

I have to think for myself. I came here on my own will.

I have to meet Kuro and talk to him.

Properly this time.
