Am I About to Join a Kill-Or-Be-Killed Love Triangle? ch17: Open Campus (Part 1)

One of those things that popular schools have...?

There's some unfamiliar faces in the hallway...
Different uniforms too.
Are they transfer students?

It's open campus week starting today.
It's when middle schoolers wanting to get into here come to take a look around.

Since this school has both humans and non-humans,
there are parents who might be worried,
so we're appealing that we're open and friendy~

Didn't you go to one, Kohaku?
Eh?

Open campus...
Everyone was going with their friends
so I didn't go.
It was too awkward.
Kirara!

Hide quickly!
Eh?

What for~?

Dowah~~~

Why
are exorcists so old-fashioned?
A metal stake...
We'd be violating the Swords and Firearms Control Law otherwise!

Don't be so rude towards Kirara-sama!
She's the ultimate vampire!

What's all this?
Kirara posted a request for a hit on herself on the internet back in around April.
She even posted the school's name.

Because of that, a bunch of believers and exorcists have come here.
Hah
Hawawa...
How courteous of them to come on an open campus day.

Might be because this school
has great security.
A-

Amazing...!

Kirara-san is a genious at gathering friends(?)!
Kya~
This is what they call charisma!

Kirara-sama's escaped!

Huh?
She'd normally love being killed.
Does she really not want to die anymore?

Well.
That much won't kill Kirara.
...Only an exorcist on Ema's level would be enough to worry her.

Blush...

A-Aiko-san...!

I'm gonna go look for her!
It'd be bad if she collapsed!
I'm not going~
Believing and waiting is what love is all about.

There must be something I can do too...

U-Um, Kohaku-san.
I think Kirara is...

Library

You really were here...

I think
she'll be somewhere you can't get into
without a student ID.
She's malicious like that.

Huh?
It's you, Kohaku.
Look~
The outsiders can't get in,
and they're burning with jealousy~

*Window

They're totally spectators watching from the safe zone...!!

Geez~
They're so noisy.

They've got nothing on Ema,
but being stabbed with a stake still hurts~
The look of envy from blind devotees is annoying...
and exorcists are manipulated by their reputation~

And here I thought I had finally escaped from Aiko's gaze lately.

I had forgotten all about this annoyance when I returned to Japan.
No matter the era, vampires
and exorcists never change~
U-Um.

p10

So you've really stopped wanting to die, huh...!

I-I wonder if we can correct that intel on the web...

p11

Eh?
No.

Is that what it looks like?

p12

Looks like?
Eh? Yes.
I said it before, didn't I?

It's not that I didn't believe you...
It's like a decisive blow or something... Erm~

Even now,
I want to die.

I want to use Kohaku's good will
so that I can die.

p13

There's no mistaking it.

I want to die. I... absolutely...
Huh?

p14

I mean, it's already...
Hm?
K-Kirara-san?

Why did I want to die again?

The time has come to unravel her own desires...?
