Servamp (サーヴァンプ)

Goodness, I am amazed by your laziness.

You haven't even given your Eve a weapon...

I suppose that's expected from the Servamp of Sloth.

Huh? A weapon?

Is that something that Kuro is supposed to give me?

What's the point in having a weapon?

Here, you two should just be soothed by my form.

Like hell we would!

Like hell we would!

I still don't know much about vampires...

...but there are things that I want to protect.

I don't want to regret doing nothing...

Do you need a weapon?

I do if it's the power to protect others!

Close your eyes.

Huh?

W-Wait a second!

Explain things first! What are you planning on—?

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

Huh?

This is the inside of Kuro.

This way. This way.

You want a gift, right?

Your very own birthday gift.

My birthday is a ways off, but are you talking about a weapon?

Then, I want one.

Who are you?

I'm a part of Kuro.

I'm in charge of power.

Now comes the fun choice of fate.

Choose whichever one you like.

Among all these?!

Happy birthday, Mahiru.

Now, you'll obtain your very own power.

You can't return here once you choose...

...but you'll become an adult that can protect others.

The end will be the same no matter what you choose.

Though the routes you can take are all different.

Carefully, but boldly.

What's important is that your answer matches who you are.

Then, the simplest looking one.

It's a broom.

A fitting weapon for a commoner.

Come to think of it,

I think you attacked me with a mop when we first met.

Do weapons equal cleaning tools to you?

That's not true...

What the hell? It doesn't disappear?!

This is my weapon?

Will I be able to fight with this?

Now. It's begun. It's begun.

You can't return a plate you have touched, Belkia.

What, really?!

Japanese culture is so nitpicky.

But, Tsubakyun, isn't that liar pretty late?

Just when is he going to get here?

Hm?

Oh, looks like he's here.

Welcom—

Hey...

Hey, looks like you're in a bad mood.

Th-Thanks for the meal!

M-Me, too!

Tsubaki-san, what do you need?

Before that, care to explain that?

Looks like it was sniffing around me.

Someone's subclass?

Who knows?

Wouldn't people find out if someone from school sees you?

That you're a vampire.

Right, Sakuya?

I don't care anymore.

I hate liars.

Awaken, my power!

Why won't it come out?!

You'll have to be able to pull it out whenever you want,

before you can even start learning to fight.

Kuro, is there some kind of trick to this?

Call me once you can pull it out.

Hey!

Mahiru-kun, why not try and create an image of exactly why you wanted power?

Exactly why?

Your Servamp lacks motivation because you lack resolve.

So, Lilly tries to strip because you want to be released from something?

That's just his predisposition!

Exactly why, huh?

Because I want to protect others.

Everyone in my reach... Like my friends.

I've thought of them as family since I was little.

I don't have parents, so the feeling might be stronger than other people.

I'll introduce them to you next time, Misono!

Ryusei and Koyuki.

But first is Sakuya!

He's my childhood friend!

Stop.

Huh?

It'll get them involved.

Tsubaki is the only thing that connects you and I together.

Putting it simply...

...there's no reason friends of friends can't be friends.

Friends and family.

I want to protect those important to me.

No matter who comes, we'll take them down!

Right, Kuro?

Don't turn to me. So troublesome.

I'll just protect and kill whoever you say.

What? Such a lack of independence...

Huh? Just now...

Oh, that's—

Huh, Misono?!

It's already this late.

Misono always falls asleep every night at 9:00 P.M.

Is he a little kid?!

We'll have to wrap up for today.

Yeah, I understand.

Thanks for helping me out.

Misono, too.

Not at all.

Huh? Sakuya didn't come today, either?

It's unusual of him to miss so many days in a row.

Maybe he's caught a bad cold and stuck in bed?

I called him yesterday, but he didn't answer.

And I finished this, too.

Huh? Is that a garcon uniform?!

Did you make that?!

You're so good with your hands!

I'm sure Sakuya would be really happy.

Welcome!

He was really excited about it.

I'll stop by his house after class today.

Thank you very much!

Potato chips?

Nope. This is Sakuya's food.

Sakuya is that joker with the side flare, right?

I don't think he'd get along with "You Bastard"-chan at all...

"You Bastard"-chan? You mean Misono?!

I should have asked him what happened the last time I saw him.

Ever since we were little, he made everything sound like a joke.

When you were little?

I've been with him since elementary school...

Huh? Was it middle school?

Hey?

Sakuya lost both of his parents, like me.

Huh?

How did Sakuya's parents pass away?

Huh?

Where did Sakuya live again?

Huh? No, what am I saying?

I've been there so many times.

Huh? When did I go?

What am I saying?

He's my childhood friend and we were always together.

Huh? Was he my childhood friend?

Mahiru?

My head hurts!

We were always together...

Wait, huh?

Who was... Sakuya?

Mahiru.

Oh, Sakuya?

What's wrong, Mahiru? Standing in a place like this.

Sakuya!

You, too!

Why haven't you come to school?!

I've been worried!

Oh, actually, well, I said vampires appear around here right?

I was attacked recently and...

What?!

I was saved, but I was too scared to leave the house.

Now, just how much of that was a lie?

Ouch!

I thought you'd say that!

Here, some food!

You haven't eaten dinner yet, right?

You always say stuff like that...

A scream?!

Mahiru, this way!

Huh? What?! Where are we going?! Sakuya!

It's all right.

I'm your friend.

I won't betray you.

Huh?

Sakuya?

Do you trust me, Mahiru?

If you trusted me, you wouldn't lie, right?

You're acting weird. Did something happen?

Hey!

Now, Mahiru.

Just how much of our relationship is a lie?

Wh-What is this?!

Kuro?!

Now! Now! Some applause!

The skewering show begins!

That guy?!

Mahiru.

Didn't I tell you that there are vampires around here?

I warned you many many many times!

Mahiru, this guy...

He's Tsubaki's subclass.
