Wah. Wah.
I'm drowning. I'm drowning.
What should we do, Kuro?
Mahiru's mind is overflowing into ours.
Fear. Regret. Rejection.
If Mahiru never met you, he wouldn't have become this way.
When you do something, the world always falls under misfortune.
What a pain.
Episode 4: "Sakuya"
Kuro.
Kuro!
Kuro?
It can't be...
Unexpected things are a problem.
What should we do, Tsubaki-sa--
People who change their minds...
It's a problem.
Kuro?
What happened to you?!
What in the world is this?!
Scary.
Scary! Scary!
I'm drowning!
Mahiru!
Your hand!
Sakuya?!
Sakuya.
Saving the enemy is a problem.
Shut up!
Mahiru, hurry!
Order him to kill just me!
I lied to you because I wanted you to kill me!
Kuro?!
Okay, Jeje. Do it.
What?
Who is that?
Snap
Plop
Being outnumbered is a problem.
Let us go home.
Roger.
You saved me, but that hurt.
Sakuya!
You don't really want to kill me, right?!
Sakuya.
What?!
Did the stupid cowlick die?!
Doudou-san.
Misono. Injured.
Thank goodness.
Quickly, to the hospital.
Misono.
You, Mahiru-kun?
I'm fine. Please take care of Misono quickly.
Misono, because of me.
There's no need for you to feel responsibility.
I'm surprised you knew where we were.
It's been awhile, but he contacted me.
I see...
A person has to take full responsibility for their own actions.
Huh?
I'm sure Arisuin Misono was fully aware of that when he took action.
Nice to meet you, young man.
This is the Servamp of Envy, Doubt Doubt.
And I'm his Eve.
I'm a simple antique dealer that travels the world as a hobby.
Please take care of me, Shirota Mahiru-kun.
Huh? Why do you know my name?
Huh? What is it, Abel?
It's all right!
This young man isn't an enemy!
Huh? Children nowadays get angry easily?
You worry too much, Abel!
Another weird person...
Hey, that gaze!
Huh?
Don't look at my Abel with lustful eyes!
You pervert! She's a doll!
Who would do that?!
Oops.
Why don't you keep your promise?
Huh? What was it again?
If I do this, you promised I could drink your blood.
Huh? I can't hear you?
Huh?
Jeje, you're so scary.
Sorry for stopping him so violently.
I wish I could have broken Tsubaki's subclass while I was at it.
He wished for it, too.
Isn't it good you found out you lack the resolve for something like that?
Of course you didn't have the resolve to break your friend.
So, about that.
I can teach you how to nullify a Servamp contract.
Why?
I'm just a busybody.
I thought you might be regretting it right now.
You never thought things would turn out this way, right?
The moment you lose control of your power and fear it...
...the Servamp will gobble you up whole.
Huh?
Contact me if you feel like it.
You'll be go back to being a normal student.
Wait a moment.
Who are you?
I'm just a simple antique dealer.
Right, Abel?
Mahiru, aren't you going to go to school?
Kuro, how are your wounds?
Huh? They've healed up.
I'm a vampire, after all.
I see.
You are a vampire, after all.
Do you regret taking me in?
Shut up.
Of course you do.
I'm not regretting it.
I just don't know what to do.
What is power?
I thought that if I had power, I could reach out and help others.
Thank you for the meal!
Welcome.
Oh?
Isn't it Shirota Mahiru.
Do you come here a lot, too?
That expression...
If you want to talk, I'll crack a few eggs with you.
Have some fish eggs.
Ah, not interesting at all.
Why did Sakuya become your subclass?
You really don't know anything.
Then, let me tell you a boring story
He was a child of liars, born in a town of liars.
The first person who lied to him was his big sister.
Sakuya.
Father is coming home tonight.
Don't come out of your room, Sakuya.
What about you, Sis?
Your big sister will be fine.
Don't worry.
How much will you get if I die?
Don't do anything to Sakuya.
Yeah. I promise.
Sakuya's father told him,
"When the police come tomorrow, tell them she fell playing with you.
Otherwise, the same thing will happen to you.
You don't want your sister's death to be a waste, right?"
He lied for the first time.
His family received a huge amount of life insurance.
The people knew something was going on in Sakuya's household,
but they didn't want to get involved and lied.
She was killed by the town.
And six years later, he was forced down the same path as his sister.
I've come to pick you up.
Subclasses are made when a dying human drinks the blood of a Servamp.
And subclasses have to listen to the Servamp that made them.
What, you really didn't know?!
And you call him a friend?
Not interesting at all.
Check.
Big Brother is scary, so I'll head home.
Wha?
He's in your backpack, right?
I can feel his murderous aura from here.
But I don't feel like it today.
See you.
Wait, Tsubaki!
Where is Sakuya?
Give Sakuya back.
Move, self!
Why didn't I try to understand Sakuya better?
I didn't want to get him involved.
So I lied so easily.
Did you have a fight?
Come on, eat whatever you like.
You aren't mad?
Reaching out to someone is simple.
All you need is the resolve to say, "I'm your ally no matter what."
"I believe in you." That's all the resolve you need.
It's okay to make mistakes.
I grew up by making mistakes.
Don't have any regrets.
Your justice may be completely different from someone else's.
You are completely different people after all.
But you still live on together.
People always look for ways to do just that.
Sorry, Sakuya.
What kind of expression did you have when you smiled next to me?
Yeah, I understand.
Parent-Teacher-Student Meeting Notification
Don't apologize, Uncle.
I'm fine.
Yeah. Talk to you later.
Mahiru!
Parent-Teacher-Student Meeting? Your uncle isn't coming?
Yeah.
I just told the teacher I'm coming alone because I have no parents.
Well, my grades are amazing so there's no need for them anyways!
Was that the case?
Don't be so depressed!
Then, why don't we have a have our meeting with the teacher together?
Huh?
What kind of meeting would that be?
Stuff like this isn't important!
Cheer up, Mahiru.
You aren't alone.
East High Festival
Ouch.
Ow. Excuse me! Are you all right?
No worries.
Most problems aren't a problem when one is prepared.
Oh! Mahiru is here!
Thank goodness!
We were wondering what to do about the festival tomorrow without you.
Where's Sakuya?
Huh? Sakuya?
Everyone's memory of Sakuya is gone after all?
You don't remember him?
Huh?
Of course we wouldn't forget him.
Huh?
Sakuya transferred just last week.
It's too bad he had to leave right before the festival.
He was really looking forward to it.
I wonder if Sakuya will come tomorrow.
I send him a text.
He left his name behind.
That means...
Mahiru, um, about Sakuya.
Huh?
It's weird.
I remember his personality so well, but I can't remember his face.
Sakuya, you're actually this much of a coward...
Do you think I'll recognize him when he comes tomorrow?
It's all right. I'll definitely find him.
Misono, a text from Mahiru-kun.
He wants to come and see you.
Tell him not to come.
I'll send him a snapshot of the map to the hospital, then.
Bastard! Don't ignore me!
Y-You know how to send him picture mail?!
When did you learn?!
Shirota Mahiru
s Sorry for taking s so long to see you. s How are your injuries? s Thanks for helping me s fight last time. s I'm really sorry for taking sso long to thank you.
A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A
The injuries were light.
Tell him I'll contact him again later.
I will do so.
I made such a big entrance and I couldn't protect my friend.
I don't know how to face him.
Lilly, I want to become stronger.
We are class 1-6.
Please come by our café!
We are class 1-6.
Please come by our café!
We're waiting for you, Sakuya!!
Ouch! What?
Sakuya!
Stop! Let's talk!
Talk?! What are you thinking?!
I tried to kill you and your friend, too!
You're a liar!
You stretched out your hand and tried to save me!
They told me Misono's injuries weren't bad, either.
Oh, but you better apologize to Misono!
Like hell I would!
I'm your enemy!
You're not my enemy!
You're my friend!
What do you mean by friend?!
Being childhood friends is a fake memory I gave you!
We've actually been together...
...only this one year.
I was lying right by your side.
Even then, it was... a fun year!
Come back!
I can't be together with you anymore.
I'm not human.
I'm different from everyone else.
Different...
Fly!
Wha?!
It doesn't matter if you're a vampire!
Even I have the power to grab your outstretched hand!
That weapon, it lets you fly?
No. This is the first time.
But a black cat and a broom!
Thinking simply, it should fly right?
You simplified too much.
Really, Mahiru.
I wanted to laugh like this more.
But... I can't.
At that time, I was saved by Tsubaki-san.
I lied.
I killed my sister.
Why?
I should have died instead.
You did nothing wrong.
It wasn't your fault at all.
That must have been painful.
It's all right.
When it's all over, I'll definitely come to pick you up.
He didn't lie to me.
I came to pick you up.
Tsubaki-san was the only one who reached out a hand to me.
I felt saved.
He's the same.
I... can't betray him.
If he tells me to kill, I'll--
Then, I'll stop Tsubaki!
The only ones who can do that...
...thinking simply, it's Kuro and me!
Right now, you don't just have Tsubaki.
You have me and everyone else!
You aren't alone.
Mahiru, don't lie to me anymore.
I'm not ly--
It makes me want to believe you.
Mahiru...
...thanks.
That's enough.
But...
I still can't be with you right now.
Just wait!
Kuro.
I... want to stop Tsubaki.
This time, I'm serious.
For that, I want to get stronger with you, Kuro!
I wonder if we can face him...
I'm a child of liars born from a town of liars.
A year ago, I snuck into a middle school.
It was just to kill some time.
Just from that simple outstretched hand and his voice, I thought...
"Oh, I want to be this guy's friend."
Mahiru...
...thank you... for finding me.
Thank you... for stretching out your hand to me.
Episode 5 "I am an adult. This is society."
Now. I wonder how much of the next episode is a lie?
Not interesting at all.
