The turbulent Shinjuku suburban center of a skyscraper. Inside one of the skyscrapers, its heavy doors bear a plaque marked Regional Manager.

I don't even know how long it's been and what branch it is in the first place, the people who go in and out of that building.

It's only natural that it's a skyscraper with numerous companies in it as tenants and nobody cares.

Inside that room, Dafeng Hisae served as the branch manager of the Japan branch of the World Organization of Competent Persons. We are headed to the computer to review reports, settle payments, investigate concerns, and keep track of the trends of those who are currently in action, in parallel with various types of work.

He also refrained from examining rookies, an important event in Japan this year, and Hisae was extremely busy.

The sun also tilts and the sunset plugs into the room close to the top floor. The door to the branch manager's office was knocked.

Hisae stopped her hand and turned to the door and a young woman in a suit rushed in.

"And excuse me"

"Oh, Shima, you're in a rare and much panic. Is something wrong?

"Yes, I just got an emergency call from the London Branch"

"... from London?

"Yes, Sister Sophia Sutherland is dead......"

"Huh..."

The earlier soft attitude changes and the movement of the Hisae branch stops.

Hisae then meditated his eyes and deposited his weight on the back of a fine chair as if he had lost his strength.

Branch manager Shima Kakigaki looks at Hisae and puts aside a beat about the rest of the report.

There's a glimpse of her relationship with her boss, Hisae, and her excellence as a secretary around here.

"Yes... Master Sophia... I was certainly old. He said it was his life in a wheelchair these days..."

Hisae branch is that spring yang. I still remember smiling like a mare. Who gave me an inch of light in the darkness at the bottom...... Hisae branch rotates the chair to view the red-burned landscape in the city centre behind her.

Sister Sophia...... the best satri capable man in the world over ninety years old.

Called [the illuminator of mercy] by his personality, he was loved not only by the capable, but also by people from all over the world in the tabular world. He also belonged to the World Organization of Competent Persons, and his Satori abilities could be described as non-combatant rank SS, just the treasure of humanity.

"No, you don't. Dear Great Peak, Sister Sophia was... killed."

"Nah!?

Hisae turns around and stares at the secretary wondering if it is not a mistake.

"It also seems to have a killer star on it. The killer is probably from that trauma...... Nosferak"

"Nah! Why!? Vampires (Nosferak) do that... They must be extremely reluctant to stand out in human society. That's such a stupid imitation... You'll turn the engine against the enemy."

"Yes...... The circumstances are currently unknown, but it appears that Nosferak has been in and out of Sister Sophia's house for decades. We have communicated our intention to attract representatives from the London branch to branches around the world in this matter. Also, there seems to be attendees from that vampire side of the conference venue"

"From the Nosferak side!? That's..."

"Yes, vampires are a lonely race that has no interest in each other, but we organize a minimal community. It looks like representatives of that community are coming this time."

In Hisae's memory, I have never heard of any contact with the institution itself from the Nosferak side.

Vampires (vampires) are the few powerful people who have recognized human society.

Not many, but not many. In vampires who have also survived for thousands of years, some have exactly the ability of the Demon God class.

But in the course of history, vampires were listening to human society as it became stronger, renouncing hostility with humans, each living secluded.

Evidence of this is that we've been renouncing even bloodsucking for hundreds of years.

However, they have also demanded of humans what it corresponds to. At that time, hundreds of years ago, what they demanded of the Time Powers as a price for the renunciation of that blood-sucking act was citizenship in human society.

The powerful admitted it, and the long-standing hostility between vampires and mankind ended with this.

Because of this background, vampires are still dressed as people elsewhere today and blended into human society together. He is also a very proud species and therefore never behaves in such a way as to stand out.

I have heard that they do not even show mutual interest in the same species, but that it is also someone from the same ethnic group who organizes the community that regularly carries out minimal surveillance to prevent other fellow citizens from being annoyed by the fact that they stand out in human society.

Hisae touches the desk with her index finger.

"... Shima. I'm sorry, but will you represent me at that meeting? I'm not going to be able to get my hands on the rookie exam to be run next month. Besides, after a year, they haven't even proceeded with the Shinagawa Demon God investigation... The psychometlers at that time are still in the hospital because they can't get back together... I know it's important, but I'm sorry."

"No, I understand."

"Please contact me immediately for details. I don't mind talking to you first. 'Cause I think it's pretty good to have representatives from branches around the world."

"Yes. So that's the thing..."

"Do you know what it is?

"No, the relevance is unknown, but with a few capable people missing in the last few weeks, it seems to be making a scene in every branch of Europe. It's just my personal information, not public information."

Hisae frowned. But I think it's premature to doubt its relevance to this story.

"Hmm...... That story won't be necessary until we know it's connected to the murder of Sister Sophia. Rumor has it that the ability of these branches will come to light. Besides, it's unlikely that there will be anything in Japan geographically."

"Yes, I understand. Then get ready and we'll be leaving next week."

Hisae nods. And when he confirms Shima's exit, he stands up and gently grips his fist.

Hisae had met Sophia Sutherland. Hisae was troubled and disturbed at the end of her life, but she was on the verge of recovering from Sofia's advice and care.

Hisae brings to his chest the figure of a man who is the benefactor of his life, or of his heart.

(Dear Sophia...... What the hell... As soon as the rookie exam is over, so will I.…)

Hisae Edge stares at the skyscraper streets with night views.

But Hisae branch at this time… backed by its determination, an unspeakable anxiety drifted in its heart.

At this time, Yuto felt a firm anxiety...

Now Yuto is doing his homework while eating cans in a tent in his new home garden. I buy candles, turn on the lights and use the Micah box as my desk. It's a windy day and I'm worried the tent won't fly.

The price of getting high school life is tent life......

The other day, Yuto called a vendor to give him a quote for the repair of the house, and he was offered a hell of a forehead.

Not very much, but not the amount that a high school favorite can give. But I still want to do something about Yuto, but I can't think of a good way to do it.

Yu Man took a deep sigh in his tears.

"Ugh, this. Well, I'm not in high school anymore!

Yuto interrupted his homework and stood up in an attempt to strengthen the fixation of a tent that was likely to be blown away by strong winds.
