## Summary

One of the students from Akira's class has been sleep depriving himself, so that he can play games. The teacher explains that they need to sleep at night to get used to a healthy sleep schedule. After school, Akira heads home. She does what she usually does and heads to sleep at 8:30PM.

Kou goes out for the night and wonders where Nazuna would be. He ends up finding her quite fast on an easy spot but decides that he doesn't want to talk to her yet. While going around, he thinks about the kiss and realizes that only couples do that. He then wonders if he is in love with Nazuna and if he had achieved his goal to become a vampire. Nazuna shows up, annoyed as she was waiting in a place he could have easily found her. Kou invites her to bite him, as he have accomplished the goal and had fallen in love with her. Nazuna agrees and sucks his blood, while Kou gets excited that his human life is now over. As she is done, he wonders if he is a vampire now, but Nazuna denies it. She explains that he is probably confused about yesterday, but the kiss doesn't mean he is in love now and it’s probably just lust. Kou gets ashamed he got aroused from just a kiss, but it was his first one. He guesses that Nazuna had many, but she states it was her first too and that friends kiss each other.

Lately, Akira hasn’t been sleeping well and wakes up before midnight. She dresses up for school and goes out. Kou sees her but is surprised to see her now as it’s only midnight. Akira tells him that her teacher told them they need to sleep. Kou wonders the same thing about Akira, but she states she is sleeping and just woke up. Realizing she plans to not sleep and go directly to school; Kou invites her to spend time with him and Nazuna.

At Nazuna's place, Kou and Nazuna play Street Fighter Zero 3, but Nazuna beats Kou. Nazuna offers Akira to try and if she beats her, she will give her a kiss, but Akira declines, not wanting a kiss. She then wonders if she made the same offer to Kou. Nazuna confirms, but Kou denies it. Nazuna agrees and states that they kiss without conditions anyway. Akira tells Kou that she wants to be supportive, but she just can't support him being with an obscene monster like Nazuna. Nazuna reveals that Kou doesn't like her and wants them to play another game. Nazuna brings out a dating sim game, where three girls ask Kou to go to school together, but he denies it even in the game. He explains that he just doesn't like groups. Another girl bumps into him, apologizes, doesn't say much and leaves and Kou states he liked her. Nazuna then starts teasing him if he likes big breast silent girls and Kou starts blushing. Akira relaxes, realizing that Kou hasn’t changed much and isn't doing anything sketchy at night. Nazuna states its almost 4AM and wants them to go to sleep, so she can suck some blood. Akira is shocked to hear that they are sleeping together, but Kou tries to explain it isn't anything indecent. Nazuna corrects him, stating that this night is a bit as it’s a guy-girl-girl tonight.

The three lay on the futon, but Akira feels embarrassed and wishes to leave, noting that she will wait in front of school for about two more hours. Nazuna states it’s raining outside, and she doesn't have an umbrella. Akira stays, but its annoyed seeing Nazuna sucking Kou's blood. Kou cries as he had told her not to do it in front of Akira, but Nazuna wanted to spice things with some guilty pleasure. Akira asks what the whole deal with the blood sucking. Nazuna explains is supply and demand; Kou has tasty blood, and he wants her to suck it. Akira doesn't get it and wonders why he would want that. Forced, Kou reveals that he wants to become a vampire one day. A bit surprised, Akira states that he at least has a future goal, as he usually never talked about what he wants in the future. Akira guessed that he must be a vampire by now, but Kou explains that to become one, he first needs to fall in love with Nazuna. Meanwhile, Nazuna feels quite embarrassed and explains that while Nazuna likes lewd jokes, she gets embarrassed over a romance talk.

Nazuna then asks them to go to sleep and the three lied down. Akira explains she is only there, because it’s raining, and it isn't sleepy. Nazuna tells her to just lie down, and she just might fall asleep. Kou apologizes for dragging Akira into this, but he wanted to show her how he spends his night, so that Akira isn't worried. Akira wonders if he had been having fun and Kou confirms. Seeing him trying to hold his hands on him, Akira tells him its fine to relax and put them down and shouldn't worry if their hands touch, and if he doesn't relax, he won't be able to sleep. Akira tells him that even if he is a vampire, she still wants to be friends with him, however, she will still be trying to make him go to school, as even if he is a vampire, he still needs to study. Akira turns around and ends up falling asleep.

Four hours later, Akira wakes up, realizing she will be late for school. She wakes up Kou and tells him that she will be going, and he wishes her a good day. Nazuna wonders if Akira slept well, explaining that people sleep well, when they are satisfied with their day.
