Then Dracula said, his voice smooth and effortless, carrying the weight of centuries as he stood with perfect, aristocratic posture in the moonlit backyard of Seishin Academy.

"I was standing here, then it ran with a high speed as it stumbled across me.

Then it tried shooting its webs at me, but then I dodged them, and that was when I killed it by using this bat to hit its head multiple times."

He gestured casually toward the broken bat-like limb on the ground, his long black coat billowing slightly in the night breeze as he demonstrated the strikes with elegant, precise movements of his hand.

His silver-streaked hair caught the moonlight, giving him an almost ethereal glow as he spoke, his expression one of mild boredom, as if the act had been no more difficult than swatting a fly.

The group listened, their flashlights casting long shadows across the dead creature, the air thick with the metallic tang of blood and the faint scent of scorched earth from earlier attacks.

Then Hanako said, her voice thoughtful but laced with doubt,

"Hmmm... it must have gotten exhausted after fighting us inside the building."

She tilted her head, her high ponytail swaying as she stared at the body, her revealing black singlet shifting with the movement, pushing her breasts up as she crossed her arms.

In her mind, she couldn’t fully believe that Dracula — the tall, elegant man they barely knew — could have killed the monster they had struggled against so hard. They didn’t know who Dracula really was, the ancient vampire lord of legend, and they doubted he had the power to take down something that had given their entire team so much trouble.

The idea seemed too convenient, too easy, making her brows furrow slightly as she exchanged a quick, skeptical glance with Akane.

Then Naoya said, his voice carrying a note of caution as he crouched closer to the body, his black hoodie sleeves sliding up his arms,

"We should come back again just to be sure."

He poked at the creature with a stick, his expression serious as he suggested a follow-up investigation, his cheerful personality momentarily replaced by practical concern for the operation’s success.

But then Rin said, his voice calm and reasonable as he stepped forward, hands in his pockets, his black hoodie and elastic pants making him look relaxed amid the tension.

"I suggest we don’t... Seeing the monster already dead, our job here is done.

And also, the mess we’ve created inside the school and the loud noises definitely raised an alert for others living in this area."

He explained it smoothly, gesturing toward the damaged school building visible in the distance, the broken windows and scorched walls clear even in the moonlight.

He was trying to stop them from coming back here, as the monster was already seen dead and the fight in the school had caused so much damage to the inside building —

cracked floors, smashed lockers, scorched walls — that they wouldn’t want to draw so many attention from authorities or locals.

His tone was practical, his deep blue eyes steady as he looked at the group, his posture relaxed but authoritative, the night breeze tugging at his hair as he tried to steer them away from further risk.

Then Shiki said, his voice quiet behind his black face mask, his messy black hair falling over his glasses as he adjusted them with one finger,

"Hmmm... why does it look like you guys are hiding something?"

He looked at the both of them suspiciously, his black leather pants and armless shirt making him blend with the shadows, his detached demeanor giving the words extra weight as he scanned Rin and Dracula with sharp, observant eyes.

Then Akane stepped in, backing Rin up as she moved closer to him, her plunging top shifting as she placed a hand on his arm.

"I go with what Rin says... and besides, our aim was to come handle the monster and here it is laying dead, so this is a successful operation, isn’t it?"

She said it with a confident smile, her red ponytail swaying as she tried to sound convincing, her body language supportive as she leaned slightly against Rin, her revealing outfit still on full display in the moonlight.

Then it was settled... a successful operation as they all walked outside the school to the van.

The group moved together through the school grounds, their footsteps echoing softly on the grass, flashlights sweeping across the dark paths as they headed toward the parked black mini van.

The night air was cool, carrying the faint scent of grass and distant flowers, the school buildings casting long shadows as they left the scene behind.

Nagumo took a big leather bag and stuffed the dead monster inside, the body making a heavy thud as he lifted it with his super strength and set it in the trunk of the van to take it to the headquarters for examination. The bag zipped shut with a final sound, the group climbing into the van one by one, the engine humming to life as they prepared to leave.

Then Akane, walking side by side with Rin, held his arm as she pressed her breast against his arm.

The soft, warm flesh pushed firmly against him through her plunging top, her body leaning in close as she looked up at him with a playful, slightly shy smile.

"I wanna go on a date," she said, acting like a kid as she repeated it to Rin’s ear, her voice soft and persistent, her red ponytail brushing his shoulder as she tugged gently at his sleeve, her cheeks flushing with a mix of boldness and nervousness.

Then Rin replied, his voice casual but tired, "A date??? It’s too late for that... I have work tomorrow morning..."

He rubbed the back of his neck, his expression showing mild exasperation as he tried to deflect the request, the night breeze tugging at his black hoodie as the van waited nearby. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The group started setting into the van, the doors opening with soft thuds as they stood front of the gate of Seishin Academy, the night operation coming to a close under the moonlight, the tension and rivalry between the girls still simmering in the confined space as they headed into the van.
