What's the idea, Editor?

Huh?

What are you doing?

You act like they're dead. Please stop it.

Anzai-kun...

Everyone is still alive. They're alive and well somewhere.

Then they could at least make one phone call to us.

We're not complete strangers.

Or maybe we are.

Editor...

Oh shut up.

There has to be a reason why they can't contact us. I'm sure of it.

A reason, huh?

Morioka, Hazuki, Ryuuhei, Elfriede, and Seiji-sensei...

Where could they have disappeared to?

We have enough of such mysteries in our magazine.

Anzai... Editor... Forgive us.

Please give us just a little more time.

Day on the Mountain

Monkey in the Spa

The Cat's Whiskers

...And who are you?

We go to the mountain once a month...

On this one day, I am allowed to see Kouhei.

And... I'm allowed to kiss him.

Are you done, Hazuki?

Yes, Yayoi-sama.

I understand that Kouhei saved you.

Yes. He used a spell against the demons, so I was shocked.

Perhaps you have made a little progress.

Despite the fact that you are still a weak, little chick.

A chick? How rude.

You are a chick.

Oh, be quiet. I'm doing the best that I can do.

If that's the best that you can do,

it's proof that you have a ways to go, Kouhei.

Haiji. Don't laugh.

- I told you so. - Yayoi-sama is the herd of the main family of the Mido.

I don't understand the connection between the main and branch families,

but it's a fact that in the Mido family, Yayoi-sama is number one.

That's what Hikaru said.

Get away? What do you mean by that?

Kouhei...

What does getting away from Hazuki have to do with training?

If I am separated from Hazuki, who will protect her?

Then let me ask you...

The way you are right now, can you protect her against assailants?

Aren't you training because you cannot do so?

Kouhei...

While you train, I shall protect her. Do not worry.

Otherwise, leave the mountain immediately.

Training is solitary. And it requires absolute self-sufficiency.

We cannot allow any laxity.

Kouhei, I'll be all right.

Hazuki...

So please train and become strong.

As your master, I can't have a servant who will be forever undependable.

Finger promise... Kouhei, you promise to do your best to become strong

and return to my side as soon as possible.

- Hazuki... - Come on. Hurry.

Okay...

Finger promise... cross our pinkies.

If you lie, I'll make you swallow a thousand needles.

You're doing your best, right Kouhei?

Huh?

Kaoru.

What're you doing?

She's sucking his blood.

Get away. Hey.

H-Hey... Kaoru...

Tastes like iron...

Of course. It's blood.

Ohh man, you surprised me.

Don't just be surprised. Stop her.

But it was so sudden...

Yayoi-sama, he has a long, long way to go.

Didn't I say so?

Not enough training, servant.

Why did you do that?

- Well... it's not fair. - Huh?

It's not fair... only Hazuki gets to...

Huh?

Cat's ears?

Oh, just like you, Master.

~nyaa~

~nyaa~

~nyaa~

K-Kaoru...

~nyaa~ ~nyaa~ ~nyaa~ ~nyaa~

Tell her... Tell her that she's cute. Tell her Kouhei-nii.

O-Okay... Kaoru, you're cu-.

What are you doing, you demon.

Shut up! Blah.

Kaoru. You're so cute. So cute. Those cat's ears...

...I also have a tail.

Kaoru. So cute. Cute.

Look, see? A cat's tail.

O-Oh...

Not "oh". Compliment her.

Let go.

I will not.

Let go.

Will not.

Let go.

Fighters, face each other.

Kouhei, you certainly are popular. I envy you.

Envy what, Shisho?

Is something the matter, Yayoi-sama?

Hikaru, Kaoru... come with me outside.

- Huh? Y-Yes. - Huh? Y-Yes.

Haiji, you too.

Me too?

Yayoi-sama?

What's wrong, Shisho?

Fool.

Can't you see I'm being thoughtful.

Huh?

Now then...

Yayoi-sama?

Someone has broken through the mountain barrier.

Huh?

Is that true?

I'm going to check. Hikaru and Kaoru, do not let Hazuki out of your sight.

- Yes. - Yes.

Haiji, come with me.

Understood.

So they have come.

Geez... what a problem.

U-Um... Hazuki.

- Here. - Huh?

The usual rice.

Oh...

And while you're in training... even if you must be self-sufficient...

just eating mountain ferns isn't nutritious enough, so... here.

What's all this?

I told them I'm taking them, and asked Oharu to buy them.

My, my... being a master is hard work. Oh, you can pay me later.

I even have the receipt. So don't worry.

Hazuki... thanks.

You're so obedient, it's creepy.

Hey.

Shall we go for a walk?

Uh-huh.

It's cold outside, so put something over that.

Uh-huh...

I will not allow you to act willfully on my mountain, vampires.

We've been led astray.

No matter how much we walk, we end up on the same path.

The one protecting Miss Luna has put a spell on us.

Some kind of Far Eastern magic?

One that is quite powerful.

F-Feels great.

She doesn't show a hint of nervousness.

Jeda, watch what you say.

Oh, pardon me. Vargas, you are such a faithful servant.

Where are you off to?

It's useless staying here. Please, take your time.

Huh?

Who goes there?

Huh? Who is that?

Identify yourself.

A monkey.

Princess, it's dangerous. Please run.

It's okay.

So cute.

Princess...

This is it...

Go forth.

Good work.

Humph... That Jeda...

I don't like Jeda.

Huh?

Jeda doesn't play with me, so I don't like him.

I see... Yes, you are right. That's just how he is.

I'm going out. Give it back.

Huh?

Huh? Bring back the Princess' cat ears.

I don't like you either, Monkey.

I told you to put something on.

I'm okay.

You don't need this then.

Huh?

They're speaking, but I can't hear because of the water. Let's go up closer.

Are you listening?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Is it about Kaoru? Is it bothering you?

No, it's not.

Sure, it is. It's bothering you a lot.

Well, a little. After all, Kaoru is your fiancée, Kouhei.

That's why I keep telling you... Our parents decided that.

Then why don't you tell that to Kaoru?

For whose sake am I doing all this training?

I'm doing my best, for your sake.

Kouhei...

And also, for Grandpa and Elfriede.

Grandfather... Elfriede...

It's hard when I think about them... But I can't let it hold me back forever.

We have to do whatever we can.

Kouhei.

Lately, I've begun to feel that I can make a difference.

There are so many problems, but I'll manage somehow.

Huh?

So unlike you... Not like you at all, Kouhei.

Well, excuse me.

But... it's sorta nice.

Kaoru?

Kaoru, you dropped this.

Thank you...

Next time, I'll maybe put whiskers on, too.

I'm grateful for your welcome.

To break the Mido spell requires considerable skill.

I'm honored by those words. I am Jeda, the puppet master. And you are?

I have no name to declare to an evil vampire.

None.

I would like you to hand over Miss Luna. I do not wish to take unnecessary lives.

I do not know such a girl.

How regretful.

Indeed.

Interesting.

You cannot get away.

I shall pursue you no matter where you run. Resign yourself.

Why you-.

Damn, you pesky demon.

Carelessness is the greatest enemy.

The schemer drowns in his own schemes.

Huh?

This is... the base of the mountain...

Someone of my caliber...

This is becoming quite interesting.

I'll see you in one month.

Uh-huh...

Hikaru... Kaoru... Please look after her.

Yes.

Please look forward to whiskers next time.

Huh?

When my training is done, I shall partake of these.

What's the matter?

I forgot something. I'm going to get it.

Huh? Hey. Hazuki.

These taste so awful...

Oh well... this is the extent of self-sufficiency on the mountain.

Kouhei.

Huh?

H-Hazuki? These are... umm... Not dinner, but... A snack...

H-Hazuki...

Kouhei.

Hazuki...

Silly, what're you doing?

I can't do anything for you right now.

Until I finish my training, you must bear with it.

When will that be?

Have you forgotten? I promised to return to you as soon as I can.

Please bear with it, Hazuki.

No.

Don't act so spoiled.

Did you get what you forgot?

Uh-huh...

It's so huge in here.

Kouhei...

Now then, let us go.

Luna...
