DARK MOON: THE BLOOD ALTAR (DARK MOON　-黒の月: 月の祭壇-)

Dark Moon: The Blood Altar -

Bite My Neck -

From here, the winger, Mahan, will pass to Khan.

Then Tahel will cover from this position.

All right.

Okay! We'll run through this play once Mahan and the others are back.

Let's get the championship title back.

We'll wipe the smirks off those Decelis guys' faces.

Right, Captain?

Huh? Uh, sorry.

What'd you say?

We're discussing our game plan for the nightball game.

Oh, right. Yeah, I agree.

Were you even listening?

O-Of course I was.

Then what did we say?

Basically, I just need to score, right?

Khan, something's off about you today.

You've been absent-minded all day.

Th-That's not true.

Did something happen?

N-No, nothing happened.

I'm just tired.

I'm going to sleep.

Oh, by the way,

this is from them.

A dog?

They're looking for a fight.

Apparently, it's an invitation to their birthday party.

What should we do?

We'd never go to that.

Who'd celebrate their birthday?

Right?

But you guys said you wanted to go.

We were just being polite.

Are you okay?

You should get some rest.

Yeah.

Goodnight.

It must be because of the total eclipse.

But why'd it have to be a human, huh?

Still, I hope it works out.

You sent them an invitation?

It's not like I had a choice.

Sooha said she wanted to invite them, too.

If that's what Sooha wants, it's not like we can say no.

Still, I don't like celebrating our birthday with werewolves.

What does Sooha even like about them, anyway?

Don't ask me.

It's because they hate vampires, isn't it?

Yeah.

Don't remind me.

I'll never get over it.

Don't worry about it.

She didn't know about us when she said that.

If Sooha finds out what we really are, she'll never want to see us again.

It doesn't matter what she thinks.

This is why I said not to get close to her.

What? But I want to be friends with Sooha!

I never expected her to hate us that much, though.

Nobody likes us.

It's natural for a human to hate us.

And her friend was killed by vampires.

We don't hurt humans, though.

We know that about ourselves.

But to humans, we're no different from other vampires.

Telling her we're an exception won't solve the problem.

True. We can't force her to trust us.

It's not like anyone's ever believed us before.

Then we have no choice.

We'll tell Sooha that Solon is a vampire so the rest of us will be off the hook.

Huh?!

What?!

Solon's a vampire?!

That's right. It caught us by surprise, too!

Let's not waste any time.

Here's some firewood.

Here's a light.

Die, you horrible vampire!

Solon, we won't forget your sacrifice.

We'll keep you in our hearts forever.

Hey!

Noa, why are you gathering firewood?

And Jino, why are you lighting it?

But I gathered so much.

I'm playing along.

You can't be serious!

Sheesh! Your sacrifice would solve everything!

Then you sacrifice yourself!

That's enough. For now, you two will be the candidates for that plan.

I'm not a candidate for anything!

In any case, let's make sure she doesn't find out what we are.

Yeah.

We should avoid using our powers as much as possible.

If she finds out what we are,

we won't be able to stay here anymore.

I thought we'd get to stay at this school for a while.

I doubt Sooha would tell anyone even if she found out we're vampires.

You don't know that.

Vampires don't feel any love at all.

Vampires are just cold, brutal monsters!

Werewolves are way better!

No, you can't even compare them.

Vampires are the worst!

Heli.

There you are.

Um, I'm sorry about earlier.

I got so worked up.

It's fine. I know how much you hate vampires.

It's only natural.

Yeah. Thanks.

We forgot to give this to you earlier.

Come to think of it, you said there was a birthday coming up.

Everyone would be glad to see you there.

I hope you'll come.

Of course! By the way, whose birthday is it?

All of ours.

Huh?

None of us knows the day we were born.

Oh...

Then what's this day?

It's the day we left the orphanage.

After the hell we went through the day we fled Vanfield,

you guys still trust humans?

Is anyone chasing us?

No, we're good.

There's a house!

You ran away from the orphanage?

We don't use this storage shed.

It's safe here, so you can rest.

Th-Thank you.

It's okay. I won't tell anyone.

This will help a lot.

Yeah.

Let's leave once we've had a little rest.

I'm hungry.

Me, too.

Suck it up.

You must be hungry.

These are just leftovers, but...

Vampires showed up?

We have to kill them all this instant.

So this is where you've been.

Didn't I tell you?

It's dangerous outside the orphanage.

Now, let's go back to Vanfield House.

We can only trust each other.

Dark Moon: The Blood Altar -

Dark Moon: The Blood Altar -

Sooha, you mentioned before that your friend was killed by vampires.

Yeah.

Were you close?

You know how I have that weird power?

It made people think I was a vampire,

so I was always all alone.
