<Ch. 28 “The Vampire is Close By”>
Sensei…?

…
?
Hey.

Hikari.
You need something?
Oh,
Sorry.
Didn’t wanna wake you…
Don’t worry about it.
What’s up.

Gotta question.
Question please!

?


#P.3
Ohhhh
Your eyes really are glowing, huh

So, this photo explains why vampires have good vision at night?
Yeah
It’s the same reason why regular nocturnal animals do

Nocturnal animals have this layer in the back of their eye that acts as a mirror
*Call it the Tapetum*
<Tapetum>
<Retina>
And this reflects even the smallest bit of light against this mirror
which bounces a number of times to stimulate the retina, letting it recognize lights that humans can’t

Reflect…
Oh
So animal eyes lighting up isn’t actually because their eyes are shining
That’s right
It usually a light source, like something carried by a human, reflecting off of the mirror


#P.4
Heeeey
That’s neat!
So the reason why you can see at night is because the eyes are made differently!

…
I’m totally glad I asked you, Sensei!

One thing though.
Light-sensitive eyes like that are exposed against strong light
So make sure to watch out for that, okay?


#P.5
Yeah, I knooooow!
No flash photography at zoos! Right?
Well yeah,
But make sure you the vampire don’t hurt your eyes either.

And
I guess it’s similar to why vampires are defenseless against strong sunlight too…
<Vampire have sharp senses -> Sharp senses of the skin -> Sensitive skin -> Exposed to strong sunlight>
Huh

So when the hot summer sun comes around,
you will want to make sure to watch out not just for anemia, but sun tan too. Got it?
N’kay…


#P.6
Oh
And another thing to watch out for is-
Seeenseeei?

I already know all the things I gotta watch out for in my life, okay!
How many years do you think do you think I’ve been a vampire?!
Oh… Right…

Sorry
it’s
just…

I saw this dream
where I got chased by a vampire, you know…?
Eh

…


#P.7
Was it scary…?
It was actually super insightful
Eh

Hm…
It’s like…

The vampiric behavior of “attacking people in the veil of darkness”
Then seemed like a very natural thing

They were able to cover for their weakness against sunlight
while utilizing their advantage of senses to its full extent
to achieve their goal of feeding on blood

So this wild predator-like behavior was
probably the most liberating life style for a vampire


#P.8
So in that sense
it seemed to me like modern vampires, who have to adjust their life patterns to that of an ordinary person
might be feeling a bit cramped to some extent
…

And so I ended up spurting unnecessary advice
out of a needless sense of concern
Sorry
That’s okay!
I’m real happy you’re worried about me! (Thanks!)

How
-ev
-er!
You are making one mistake, Sensei!

C’mon, take off your lab coat

*Rustle rustle*


#P.9
Modern vampires can freely hunt just as weeeeell!
<E: Lab Coat>

?

With my white cape fluttering!
I shall seek my prey with my VAMPIRE EYES!
……

Hmm?!

Those are some snacks Sensei got from his university friend!
Awesome!
I’m attacking it!


#P.10
Hisssssssss!!
Your underwear is showing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!
I’m sorry!
I’m seriously sorry!
I admit that was an extremely insensitive comment!

*grab*

Then Sensei…
You do something silly too…
W-What, you…


#P.11
Sensei, you do the vampire thing too…
A vampire…

…

Hi-
Hisssss
I’ll suck your blooood?

*snap*

The eyes aren’t shining! It’s a fake vampire!
Attack it!
Why you!!


#P.12
Ahaha!

<Hey Sensei?>

<I get what you’re saying too>
<That I could’ve have a freer life back then>
<I mean even I feel like my life’s a bit cramped sometimes >

<But even then-->
<I still think it’s happier being a modern vampires>

<’Cause having people close to you be afraid of you…>


#P.13
<…is a lot less nice than being close and being able to have fun together>

By the way, I heard you peeked at my sister’s underwear
Would you please explain what this is about?
<Takahashi had the vampire’s sister bare her fangs at him instead>


#P.14
So given thing we’ve discussed
<-Feeds on blood
- Weak to sunlight
- Hates garlic>
Vampire folklore can be divided into those properly based on vampiric traits

And those of religious or mythical nature fabricated by people fearing the vampire
<- Weak against crosses
- No reflections>
I seeee

And then, and then?!
What do we know from that?!
Hmm?

That it’s fun!
<He just wanted to know>
