Night is the time of vampires.
That is how I was raised to believe.
Monsters that feed on human blood, wander the night, and attack humans.
That is precisely why there are those in this country who hunt them.
Nighttime Heteromorphic Disaster Countermeasures Execution Agency 《NOCTURNE》.
Among them, there was a special task force composed of eight exceptionally talented individuals.
The dining hall echoes with trivial arguments from the morning.
Beside them, Lilia laughs happily, and Leo cracks random jokes.
Valery reads a book as if it's none of his business, and Albert watches the five of them with an exasperated look.
At a slightly distant table, Eleanor is quietly drinking tea.
A typical morning.
The usual eight.
It was a time so peaceful it was hard to believe they were vampire hunters.
That night.
A single envelope arrives for the seven of them.
The sender is the Royal Capital.
The content was just one line.
"One vampire is hiding within NOCTURNE."
Laughter vanished from the dining hall.
No one opens their mouth.
They stare at each other's faces.
An enemy is among the comrades.
If it were just that, it would have been fine.
The problem is that the vampire—
Could have already been living among these seven for years.
