"See you, senpai!"

Thanking them once again, Kei Shirogane departed. As they watched her go, Mai suddenly asked, out of nowhere,

"Rei Ao, you're not interested in that kouhai, are you?"

"Heh, Mai, you always have this eerie knack for guessing my innermost thoughts. It's almost scary."

"... ..."

So he admitted it?! Mai immediately felt a wave of fatigue. How did she end up liking such a shameless lecher?

"Forget it; let's get back to class."

At least she knew Rei Ao wouldn't use any underhanded methods, so she wasn't going to bother scolding him this time. As for Rei Ao, he had only been joking around—he wasn't desperate enough to pester that girl non-stop. Let things unfold naturally; it suited him better.

...

Service Club.

"Yukinon, I'm here!"

Like always, Yui Yuigahama arrived at the Service Club during the mid-morning break. Normally, Yukinoshita would keep her head down in a book and only respond curtly. But this time, she not only closed her book but also lifted her head and stared intently at Yui—enough to make Yui uncomfortable.

"Yukinon, why are you staring at me? Do I have something on my face?"

Yui was about to take out a handheld mirror. However, Yukinoshita shook her head and said,

"I'm just wondering if you're really Yui right now, or Yui's mother."

"Ugh..."

Yui froze for a moment, then gave a wry smile. "Yukinon, of course I'm the real Yui! Ugh, don't tell me you can't even recognize my personality?"

"... ..."

All right, from the way she talked, she did sound like Yui. Even so, Yukinoshita couldn't help being curious.

"Yui, is your Adolescence Syndrome all cleared up?"

"Mm, not entirely sure, but I think so," Yui replied after thinking it over. "I haven't swapped bodies with Mom again since that day."

"How bizarre."

Imagining what it must be like to swap bodies with someone else made Yukinoshita sigh in astonishment.

"Yui, could you share what it feels like—mentally—to have that sort of Adolescence Syndrome?"

"Huh? You're that interested, Yukinon?"

"Yes. According to Rei Ao, I'm at the age range where it can occur."

A dark cloud flickered across Yukinoshita's expression. She absolutely did not want her life messed up by some weird Adolescence Syndrome. Whether it was Mai vanishing from existence, Futaba Rio's split-personality issues, or Yui's body swapping, none of it appealed to her in the slightest.

"Ah, geez..."

Yui broke out in a cold sweat. She understood Yukinoshita was basically viewing her as a negative example!

...

Aside from that morning's minor mishap involving Kei Shirogane, the rest of the day was fairly uneventful. Once classes ended in the afternoon, Rei Ao had yet to leave his seat when Michiru Hyodo came over with a hesitant look. Megumi Katou also walked up curiously.

"What's going on, you two?" Megumi asked.

"Um...it's just, I wanted to invite Rei Ao-kun to watch my band's official performance this weekend," Michiru Hyoudou said, shyly brushing her hair aside. "But if Rei Ao-kun's busy, never mind—I shouldn't have mentioned it."

"A formal band performance? I'd love to go. After all, you're inviting me personally," Rei Ao said with a smile, emphasizing that detail.

This emphasis made Michiru's cheeks redden slightly with embarrassment.

"A band performance, huh? I rarely see those. Could I come too?" Megumi suddenly interjected, now understanding the situation.

"Of course you can. In fact, if Katou-san also comes, I'd be very grateful," Michiru said. The more people in the audience, the better—no reason to refuse.

"All right. I'll go together with Rei Ao-kun," Megumi said, giving Rei Ao a "playful" little wink with her lovely eyes. On her otherwise blank expression, though, that wink was so subtle that most people might not catch it. But Rei Ao noticed right away. Megumi was special like that. Even when they were...intimate, she remained reserved by nature, but in those moments, she was exceedingly adorable. She likely just wanted to spend some time with him; they hadn't hung out much recently. Rei Ao intended to make it up to her.

"Okay, let's settle it then," Michiru concluded.

After they made arrangements, each person went their separate way. Rei Ao had just stepped out toward the hallway, where Mai was waiting, when suddenly:

[Ding! Shinoa Hiragi has initiated a trade request!]

[Trade Content]: Eliminate the vampires invading the school.

[Ding! Please select your trade terms!]

"Huh?"

Rei Ao looked surprised, and Mai took note of it.

"What is it?" she asked, perplexed.

"Just got a trade request," he replied. Then he went ahead and chose the trade conditions. If it wasn't urgent, Shinoa probably wouldn't be asking for a trade. After all, her "Shikama Dōji" carried the First Progenitor's might. Even if she couldn't fully tap into it, it should have been enough to handle ordinary vampires.

Sure enough, events had unfolded exactly as Rei Ao deduced. During daylight, a large group of vampires had suddenly barged into the school. Shinoa, with no hesitation, grabbed her scythe and started slaughtering. She'd already killed dozens of vampires. But the school was being overrun, with panic erupting everywhere. Worse, the vampires treated the students like playthings in some twisted game.

Logically, having killed so many of them, the rest should have fled. Yet an overwhelmingly strong vampire appeared—one who completely overpowered Shinoa.

"Huff...hah..."

Blood-splattered and exhausted, Shinoa was breathing hard, her face pale. The area around her was a wreck, one whole school building already collapsed. The cause? Her desperate battle against the man standing across from her.

He wasn't human: pale skin, sharp ears, red eyes, hair red in front and black in back, tied into a long braid. A vampire, and a powerful one at that.

Shinoa had been locked in combat with him for half a day. She was covered in wounds, while he had nothing but a few tears in his clothes—otherwise unscathed. He called himself Crowley Eusford, the Thirteenth Progenitor, and from the start, he had just been toying with her. Shinoa knew that.

"This is all you've got?" Crowley smiled. "I'm a bit bored now. As punishment for getting in our way, I'll turn you into a new vampire, my servant."

Indeed, the reason Crowley had played with her like a cat and mouse was that such a weak human had dared provoke him. He was furious, though he wore an outwardly sunny grin that sent shivers down Shinoa's spine.

Clutching her scythe, her hands trembling, she had almost no strength left to fight. If this went on, she wouldn't be able to resist at all. Watching Crowley approach, step by step, she chose her final resort:

She initiated a trade request to Rei Ao.
