Summary[]
Hatsuka tells his offsprings to not badmouth his guest
Hatsuka takes Kou to his place. Entering his home, Hatsuka is immediately welcomed by three excited adults, happy to see him and explain they were good as they wanted Hatsuka to be proud. Hatsuka apologizes and tells them he has a guest and asks them to leave. The trio is shocked and angry, but Hatsuka gives them a cold look to not badmouth his guest and the trio becomes quiet right away.
While Hatsuka takes a shower, Kou waits for him and wonders what the three adults were and if they are his offsprings. He also notes that compared to the other vampires, Hatsuka seems kinda unusual. Opening the bathroom door naked, Hatsuka calls Kou to bring him a towel as he forgot and usually others prepare it for him. Kou is then shocked to learn that Hatsuka is actually a man and not a woman. Hatsuka is surprised that Nazuna have not told him, but Kou explains that she doesn't really tells him many things.
Nico is angry at Nazuna
Nazuna visits the other vampires and explains why she thinks that Kou won't become a vampire, however, she wants them to let him live. Nico gets angry and smashes the table, and states Nazuna must have come prepared for face some kind of consequence. However, killing amongst them isn't technically allowed and she doesn't feel about it either, and killing Kou is easy and will solve everything. Nazuna then states she will kill Nico, who states this isn't a way for ask for a favor. Nico asks Nazuna again what Kou to her is and how he is different than other humans before him.
Kou tells Hatsuka that he isn't sure he wants to become a vampire, which Hatsuka finds lame after all he said before that. Kou tells Hatsuka about Anko and how she killed a vampire. Hearing he turned into ash, Hatsuka explains that vampire don't really know much about vampires either and because of that Nazuna isn't really trying to hide information from him. They also don't know why some blood tastes good and some bad. Hatsuka then recalls that according to Nazuna, Kou had a good tasting blood. As he makes a move, Kou wants to stop him, but Hatsuka states he should be fine as he looks like a girl. Kou then wonders why he is dressing like a girl and Hatsuka explains that he looks good that way and both men and women tend to get attracted to him. Kou states that Hatsuka should have once fallen in love with him to turn into a vampire and wonders if he was also conflicted. Hatsuka then receives a message with a picture of the broken table.
Hatsuka explains how he can make Kou fall for him
Hatsuka explains that there are no strict rules that state Kou must be killed, but there will be consequences for both Kou and Nazuna. The consequences would be harsher for Nazuna, and she is the one in danger right now. Hatsuka then proposes that Kou becomes his offspring, since becoming a vampire will save Nazuna. Kou doesn't think it needs to be Hatsuka, although he doesn't mind that he is a guy, since he has a cute face. Hatsuka states he can understand him as a guy and that he is confident he can turn him into a vampire. Hatsuka explains that all he has to do is to trick his brain that he is in love, and that's why his offsprings look so happy. Kou denies the offer and states that he still wants to fall in love with Nazuna. As Nico is angry, Hatsuka wonders if Kou is prepared for the consequences. Kou explains he isn't and that he wants Nazuna to not be bored. Kou then leaves and heads to Nico and the other vampires.
Going there, he sees the smashed table. Nico tells him that Nazuna just left. Kou relaxes that she is okay, but Nico states she isn't sure about that and that she won't be able to hold a proper conversation soon, in return for Kou's safety. Kou wonders what she did to Nazuna and starts leaving, wanting to go and see Nazuna. Nico states Nazuna doesn't want to see him now, but he yells at Nico to shut up and that he wants to see her.
Kou goes to look for Nazuna, but then encounters police officers who were called earlier by Anko; however, he runs away from them. Meanwhile, Nazuna wonders if Kou hates her and that she doesn't know how to have fun and only walks at night, drinks and play video games. Kou then finds her at the place they met as she buys booze from the vending machine. Kou wonders if she is okay, and Nazuna confirms, but turns away. Kou states that he was bored until she met Nazuna, but now is he is no longer bored. Kou then wonders about Nazuna.
Nico mentions that consequences are important, but no amount of beating will get through Nazuna, and that she actually prefers talking about love. Nico reveals that the conditions to not kill Kou are for Nazuna to make him fall in love with her.
Nazuna kisses Kou.
Nazuna states that she had fun and even forgot how bored she was. She acted cool and like she knew everything, but in reality all they did was also new to her. Kou states it was the same for him and they are bad at being alone, so they just need to keep finding new things to do. He will fall in love with her and won't let her get bored. Nazuna promises to herself that she will become a vampire worth falling for and then kisses Kou.
