Chapter 21: Vampire Hunters

Finishing up my work for the day, I finally arrived at home. Tomorrow's my day off.

I opened the front door and entered.

"Welcome home, Marc.

Yuki's smile was dazzling.

Yes, I'm home!

Tomorrow is your day off, right? Is there anywhere you wanna go? We can go to Akihabara. I have some books I want to buy."

She was preparing dinner as she said this.

While eating dinner, I asked Yuki.

Don't you have to go to your parents' house? I don't know much about those relationships but you don't have to hold back, you know."

"Right now, my dad and his friends are on a luxury cruise. And Im having fun with you, so don't worry about it."

"Oh, okay. Well, that's all right then."

After dinner, I freshened up and checked my phone while drying my hair to see if I had any incoming calls from Rick. No message was left on the voicemail, but there was an email with a coded message, warning of danger.

Yuki. I'm gonna go call my friend in the bedroom. So, take your time."

With that said, I called Rick.

"... Rick, what's going on? You sent an encrypted message that only we can understand as a warning. What's wrong?

What can I do for you today?

I need to talk to you. I want you to show me a place where we can talk, not in that room, and preferably with the others around so I can save time.

Yes, sir. Ill call the others. They have been eager to meet the founder, and I am sure they will be pleased.

I walked behind the man.

By the way, I haven't got your name yet, can you tell me?

I'm not much of a name-dropper, but I will tell you my name for the sake of future reference. My name is Kuno Kazuya. Heres my contact information.

He handed me his business card. Heh. A lawyer, huh?

Nice to meet you. Kazuya, I'm sure we'll be in touch more often from now on. I'll be counting on you.

Okay.

While walking, I asked him.

Kazuya, have you heard anything about vampire hunters?

I heard from my friends that the church guys are on the move."

"Well...are our friends in Japan in danger?"

Here in Japan, religion is not so important. People seem to be mainly concerned with Shintoism and Buddhism. Not many people are interested in the church.
