## Synopsis

Ko doesn't need a mirror to see his reflection. It's staring right back at him in the form of Nazuna's latest client.

## Summary

While heading home from an after-work drinks, Kiyosumi Shirakawa notes that those events are awful, and she prefers being home or even working at the office. Feeling tired, she recalls Nazuna's place and how much she enjoyed it last time, so she decides to go and see if it’s still open. She is surprised to see a boy, Kou, welcoming her. After waiting for a bit, Kou returns and states he will be doing her massage.

While giving her a massage, Kou can't stop thinking about the 2000 yen he will get from this and also a kiss as a bonus. Kiyosumi asks him how old he is, and Kou reveals he is fourteen. That surprises her as she didn't have to work at that age and hearing it’s his first day, she guesses he must have some complicated reasons. She asks him why he is working, and Kou reveals it’s because he needs money and there is one more thing he wants to do. Kou explains that he stopped going to school and as he couldn't sleep, he started going out at night. As he ended up enjoying that feeling, he wants to keep enjoying the night. Kiyosumi states she understands that feeling and ten years ago, she felt the same way, having went out at night to buy something, she ended up enjoying the silence and felt the night is like a private place for her, she could even go in the middle of the street and there won't be any cars. Kiyosumi wonders why Kou stopped going to school and he reveals that he got bored. Kiyosumi reveals that she came because she felt a bit tired. Her work is fun but can't be done alone and she has to deal with her boss and colleagues and pretend to have fun. She starts to cry, stating she can't take it anymore, and doesn't want to go to the office or for after-work drinks. Her phone then rings and Kiyosumi knows it’s her boss, and she needs to get to the office. She explains she is called at ridiculous hours, but if she doesn't go, she will be in trouble. Kou wonders if he should stop her or not, and if she leaves midway, if he will be fully paid. However, he then realizes that isn't important and that Kiyosumi is like him. He gets serious and blocks the door, stating that she isn't leaving and will sleep here. The massage isn't over, and she will enjoy the night. Kou then calls Nazuna, who comes passing through the wall. Kou tells her to not let Kiyosumi go to work. Nazuna accepts and tells him to open the window. As he does, she grabs Kiyosumi and throws her out.

Kiyosumi starts to think she will die, but Kou jumps after her and Nazuna comes and grabs both. On the ground, Kou apologizes for how they handled it, but he didn't want to let her go to work. He states that if it’s that bad that makes her cry, then she shouldn't have to do it. Kiyosumi tells him that he doesn't understand, and work isn't like school. As an adult, you have to put up with stuff, even if it makes you cry. Kou states he wants to be a vampire. He explains that Nazuna is a vampire, and he wants her to turn him into one too. While he indeed doesn't know about work and is naive, a boss must be crazy to call her at 2AM. As vampires are not humans, they don't need to be rational. Kiyosumi realizes he wants to become a vampire to keep enjoying the night but admits that she envies that. Kiyosumi starts to laugh for his reason that he wants to be a vampire. Kou walks in the middle of the street, saying that he doesn't want to give up on this. Kiyosumi joins him, recalling the feeling and finding it fun, however explains that she can't keep doing it, as she is an adult. She needs to go to work, but hopes that he can become a vampire, wishing if she could be one too. Kou then tells her that if he becomes a vampire, he will turn her too. As Kiyosumi leaves, Nazuna states that Kou made pretty bold statement. Kou is fine with it, as he just needs to make her fall in love with him and girls tend to like him.

Nazuna asks Kou to suggest something fun to do tonight. Kou starts suggesting, things like karaoke, movie, darts, skateboarding, arcade, but all is being declined by Nazuna. He then suggests nighttime pool and Nazuna ends up liking it. They end up going to a club that has a nighttime pool, but it’s nothing like Kou had expected. While waiting for Nazuna, he starts to wonder how she looks in a swimsuit, but as she comes, he has clothes on top and states her swimsuit is under them. While Nazuna goes for drinks, Kou starts to wonder why this is more erotic than usual, where she shows more skin. The people start starring at Nazuna, finding her quite attractive. Two guys try to hit on her, and seeing Kou's face, Nazuna decides to tease him and states that while she came with someone, he may have left. As she talks with them, Kou gets jealous and goes to them and pulls her away from them.

Afterwards, Kou states he didn't like the nighttime pool as it was full of people and also didn't enjoy hearing what other people think of her. He also didn't like how casually other people tried to be friends with her. Nazuna asks him if he wants to swim and then grabs him and flies. She shows him a pool with no people and Kou notes it’s his school pool. She then heads for it and jumps in the pool with their clothes. She apologizes for teasing him, but Kou states it’s fine. Nazuna then proceeds and sucks his blood. Kou wonders what he felt today and if she asks Nazuna, if she will tell him.
