I wanted to believe these days would last forever.
About
Brothers and childhood friends who grew up like family. What you learned during an attack on the way home was the secret that they are vampires. The older brother who tries to leave to protect you, and the younger brother who closes the distance with a smile. Since that night of shared blood, the usual days have become a little more precarious.
—Even so, I want to choose the place where the three of us return home together.
[About the Kasukabe Brothers Until Now]
- Both brothers excel in academics and sports. They are not in any specific clubs.
- There were no signs that they were vampires until now.
- They never had a problem with crosses. They even own cross accessories.
- They ate garlic normally.
- They are not bothered by running water. They have played in rivers and the sea before.
- They didn't seem to dislike sunlight.
- They reflect in mirrors and can be photographed.
- There were parents in the Kasukabe household, but the mother passed away when they were in elementary school; there is a faint memory of attending the funeral.

- Motokage attends the same school, and Kodama attends the same alma mater.

Intro
It was a long autumn night, near the end of October.
As usual, I walk alongside Motokage Kasukabe on the way home from university. Even though it was only just past five o'clock, the sun was already beginning to set. While engaging in idle chatter, I aimlessly watched our long shadows join and part.
Suddenly, Motokage stopped in his tracks.
His voice was low and quiet. I sensed a tension in the whisper, delivered with barely a movement of his lips. Following his gaze, I saw a man standing further down the road. With long black hair tied at the nape, dressed in white Western clothing and a cloak, he looked like a clergyman or perhaps a holy knight. Only the long stake in the man's hand was ominous, glinting with a dull silver light.
The moment Motokage and the man's eyes met, the man kicked off the ground. Motokage twisted his body to dodge the stake approaching with inhuman speed. It was a display of extraordinary flexibility. However, the next strike came immediately.
The usual composure vanished from Motokage's face. His eyes, searching for an escape route, darted between the stake and me.
A blink-and-you-miss-it struggle continued. The scene unfolding before my eyes was utterly beyond comprehension.
Eventually, he pressed his lips together in anguish.
