The boy finds a shadow of a girl in short kimono going away from the place, and he tries to chase her. The girl disappears with mysterious smoke.
The teacher of the class room introduces a transferee. She introduces herself saying "I am Yamano Miyu." The boy is surprised because she is exactly the girl whom he saw soon after the murder. The teacher indicates Miyu the seat by the boy and orders her to be seated. The boy, Machiyama, is even more surprised.
In the time for examination, a girl student is writing something on a paper. When Teacher Yanagihara finds it and says "What is this?", The girl answers "Nothing but a graffiti." Teacher gets angry with her and says "Nothing? Don't be silly! If you have a time to do such a side work, check your answer again. Only three minutes left." The girl unwillingly says "I am sorry".
She recalls that incident.
She was in front of a convenience store and was about to open the umbrella. A girl student patted her on the shoulder. Maiko turns her face with surprise. The girl said "You are one of us!"
She casts the paper to the trash can. She seems to be threatened by the girls who happened to see something she did. She is troubled a lot by the girls. The chameleon is gazing her with its big eyes.
Machiyama goes out and walk around. He finds a girl dead in the telephone booth. He finds the scars by byte on her neck. He saw Miyu in short kimono is going away from the place and he tries to follow her.
Miyu is actually on the roof of a house with Lavah. Miyu says "Excuse me. I don't like to be dogged." She says the boy is slightly annoying but she does not actually care about him. Lavah asks if Miyu is in need of blood. She replies "Say, Lavah, don't you think I also have a right to choose?" Then a small creature falls down from the tree above Miyu. The creature speaks to Miyu "He passed by the graveyard. What did you set to him?" Miyu does not actually answer it. The creature says "You always dodge. Let's be more friendly." Miyu says "Shiina (Death-null), do you wanna be sealed as well?" Shiina says "Oh, you are cold to me!"
Teacher Yanagihara comes in, and she forces to start her business, teaching Japanese to students. She says that to investigate the murder is the business of the police, her business is to teach students. She shouted "Do I have to beg a permission to start my business?"
Machiyama tells her that Miyu is a vampire and the next target is Teacher (Yanagihara) Maiko. Yanagihara does not take it seriously. She says "it is rather an imagination than a speculation." She tells Machiyama that it is not good to see the classmates with a prejudice from such an imagination." While she is preparing some coffee for Machiyama, he looks around her room. He finds a small box with many girlish items in it and says "girlish," and then he sees her pet and say "and her pet is in bad taste." Then Yanagihara comes in and says "Don't judge by the appearances." Machiyama says "I hear it's a fashion to have this kinda pet." She says "He is my friend. He listens to me when I have something that I can't tell to others." Machiyama says that even if she cannot believe other people, he is quite reliable." Yanagihara, however, says something that implies "go home" to him.
She was in the store. She carelessly picks a chocolate stick from the shelf and put it in her pocket. She found that she had done a shoplifting, and she was surprised by what she had done. But she went out of the shop. It was Yamanouchi and two other girls who had patted her on the shoulder. Yamanouchi said "You are one of us!" Another girl said "I don't mean I would blame you. See." and the three girls showed her the goods they had lifted from the shop. The other girl said "Anybody have a chance to want to do (a shoplifting). And you cannot blame us any more."
In Yanagihara's room. She has been much troubled by the three girls. They have tried to trouble even more by presenting small goods to her again and again. She says "Well, yes, only one yet to finish. Only one yet. Yanagihara is almost unified with a goddemon.
When Yamanouchi shouts "Are you going to tell others about us?" a chameleon-like goddemon appears from Yanagihara's back. Yanagihara says "No. but I am thinking to make you silent."
The goddemon is "Garyuu (Fang-dragon)." Yanagihara says "He is my friend. He erases whatever I dislike." Garyuu says "This woman wished in the depth of her mind that thou and others would disappear from this world. And I have granted what she had wished." Garyuu sucks blood of Yamanouchi and kills her. Machiyama is watching what is going on.
There is a sound of pipe. Miyu is playing the pipe before the full moon. Garyuu finds her and says "Thou art an overseer?" Miyu says "At last, you appeared before me! You cannot runaway. You did many evil things. But, this place is not the world for you to live in. Go back to the darkness obediently." Garyuu says Miyu is also one of goddemons who sucks blood of people. Miyu says "Don't regard me as one of the goddemons that stealthily live, presuming on people's weakness." Garyuu attacks Miyu and Miyu dodges. Miyu shouts "Lavah!" and Lavah attacks Garyuu. Miyu shouts "You, goddemon in astray! return to the darkness!" The fire flame Miyu has launched burns Garyuu.
Yanagihara says "Everybody died, due to me." and Miyu says "It's not that you are wrong. Everybody has a weakness in their mind. Evil is that goddemon that possessed your mind." And Miyu sucks blood of her, saying "have a rest in the eternity of happiness."
Machiyama comes and says "Great! Great! you are a good vampire! As is written in the novel! Wait! Let me be one of you!It's boresome to live among mean people! I also judge the evil guys!" Miyu says "Everybody is burdened with the hardships. But you are free from being burdened aren't you? And then you are trying to enjoy by judging people, although you are one of people!" Machiyama tries to follow her but Miyu disappears with Lavah. Machiyama falls from the roof of the school-building.
