It was morning, but Ginka still didn’t have any answers.
Why did a retainer appear? Were the vampires not truly eradicated? And was giving Ruka Moriki detailed information about vampire hunters the right decision?
From her seat in the back of the classroom, Ginka stared at Moriki’s platinum blonde hair. She seems incredibly tired. Did she not sleep well due to yesterday’s incident? She was worried, but she didn’t know if it would be proper to try to cheer Moriki up...nor did she know how to do so.
Ginka had never interacted with a girl like her before. Moriki was kind, trusted others easily, and took decisive action to solve other people’s problems. Though she seemed to make decisions a little too quickly, Ginka had no doubt she was a good person.
And that good person was attacked by a monster.
Ginka was the only hunter in this town. She had reported the incident to the hunter alliance, but she would have to wait before she received a response. Having to resolve this incident by herself in the meantime made her feel on edge. She needed to steel herself and dedicate everything she had to solving this mystery.
“Sh-Shijunana-san?”
When Ginka looked up, she saw a man with an awkward smile on his face. His appearance was not memorable, and he wore a suit with a subdued color. Low-ranking vampires preferred that sort of look because it made blending in easier. Is that the case with him?
Under Ginka’s stare, the man’s smile vanished. He shrank back apologetically. “U-Um, could you...please answer...the question?”
Low-ranking vampires also tended to act weak to elicit sympathy. Just thinking about their cowardly deeds made anger well up inside her.
“U-Um...” The man kept acting flustered and did nothing to change the state of affairs.
But that makes sense. He’s a math teacher, not a vampire. Vampires can’t be active during the day. I need to relax.
“My apologies. Could you repeat the question?” Ginka asked.
The math teacher looked relieved.
