Kanzaki Rin quietly lowered her hand and stood up by herself.

At this moment, the beautiful girl who was admired at both the Disaster Countermeasures Department and school finally understood what it meant to have unrequited assumptions.

If possible, she wanted to grab Fang Cheng’s head and shout: “Am I, a living person, less important than some eggs in your eyes? I’ll buy you whole crates if you want to eat them!”

She kept these words to herself, having noticed Fang Cheng was truly furious.

“Hmm…”

Meanwhile, Yagawa Ryouka groaned while rising from the ground.

Half her face had mostly healed though remained slightly misshapen, with bones not fully realigned.

She trembled while staring at Fang Cheng: “H-how are you alive?”

This contradicted everything she knew – vampires should die instantly when their hearts are taken, as naturally as winter being cold. Yet here he stood, defying logic like summer frost, leaving her utterly confused.

Fang Cheng rose slowly, understanding his revival came from the number in his vision changing from 3 to 2.

Yagawa Ryouka’s sneak attack had cost him one life, leaving two remaining.

Rage burned within him – at both the vampire and himself. He’d noticed being followed these days but assumed it was Morishita Yamato’s lackeys, never considering Kanzaki Rin’s vampire warning.

He’d vowed to stay cautious yet grew careless – a self-inflicted humiliation.

With no way yet to increase his number of lives, each was precious. Losing one-third through negligence stung deeply.

Yagawa Ryouka stood completely naked, her clothes incinerated by Kanzaki Rin’s flames.

Her figure was decent but disappointingly flat-chested.

Though Fang Cheng had lecherous tendencies, his aesthetic demands left him unimpressed. He turned to Kanzaki Rin: “This your vampire?”

“Correct. She’s our enemy now. Our conflicts can wait.”

Kanzaki Rin never shifted her vigilant gaze from Yagawa Ryouka. Even with Fang Cheng’s help, victory wasn’t assured – one misstep could still doom them.

“You Disaster Countermeasures people colluding with monsters?!” Yagawa Ryouka spat angrily. “How dare you waste taxpayers’ money!”

Unlike Fang Cheng with altered memories, she immediately recognized Kanzaki Rin as the department’s intern – an organization more famous than the police.

Kanzaki Rin curled her lips into a taunting smirk. “Feel free to report me.”

Yagawa Ryouka choked on her words. How could she complain? Call them to say “Your intern’s helping a monster fight me, another monster?” The department would laugh till their heads fell off.

In the heavy silence, Fang Cheng stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Kanzaki Rin.

Kanzaki Rin felt a flicker of warmth as she stared at his back.

Though clueless about romance and sharp-tongued, this guy still shielded girls during critical moments. That alone made him decent.

Yet irritation pricked her—she wasn’t some delicate flower needing protection.

“Don’t coddle me—”

She began to speak when Fang Cheng abruptly turned.

“Why hide behind me? Attack together. No slacking.”

“…”

A vein throbbed on Kanzaki Rin’s forehead.

She inhaled sharply, glaring. “I’m long-range. No need to approach enemies.”

Never mind. This bastard existed solely to infuriate her.

Fang Cheng blinked at her glare before catching on.

He swallowed his sarcastic retort, preserving their fragile alliance.

“Fine. Support me from behind.”

He didn’t insist. Given how Yagawa Ryouka had overpowered her earlier, Kanzaki Rin might hinder their fighting power.

Kanzaki Rin stepped back coolly. “Trust my support skills.”

Yagawa Ryouka’s anger flared as the duo casually strategized. Trapped in the kitchen’s dead end, escape blocked, she sized up her opponents.

Either alone? Easy prey. Together? Uncertain.

Fang Cheng’s revival baffled her. Her cheek still ached from his punch—proof vampires could harm each other. Yet how did he survive? She dismissed the thought, labeling him an oddity.

No retreat remained. Fang Cheng steadied his breath, nerves tingling—his first battle against strange beings. But weeks of exercise-fueled stamina smothered fear.

He exploded into motion.

Yagawa Ryouka barely registered his speed before his fist rocketed toward her face. She jerked back. The punch cratered the kitchen wall, debris scattering.

Darting past Fang Cheng, she lunged at Kanzaki Rin.

Flames erupted from Kanzaki Rin’s snap. Yagawa Ryouka twisted aside.

Fang Cheng whirled, ignoring his bloodied fist. Kanzaki Rin’s flames smacked his face, engulfing him.

Gasping, she yanked her hand back. The flames reversed, leaving Fang Cheng charred and smoking.

“What was that?!” he roared.

Kanzaki Rin blinked. “You walked into it.”
