Kamen Rider, but with a wild start.

The concert hall happened to be right next to the nearby square, and the seats happened to be VIP seats, and they were free.

However, during this period, the wolf seemed to be particularly active in absorbing life energy. In the following days, Kino discovered more than once that it was following humans who had just finished drinking coffee.

That's when things started to get complicated.

—The high school girls who were being followed were called away by a matchmaking event organized by a handsome young man, only to be stood up.

—The housewife who was being followed was called away by a shopping mall discount event and ended up making a wasted trip.

—The office worker who was being followed was suddenly called back to work overtime, only to find that he was the only one working overtime when he arrived.

A sophisticated white-collar worker, who was being followed, was pulled away on the spot for a date by a charming and sincere-smiling handsome man halfway down the street—this is true.

But if this continues...

Even if the second wolf is slow-witted, it should have noticed the problem by now.

"So what are you doing?"

Forced to go on a date with a beautiful office lady, Akane is torn between wanting to accept and refusing.

Kino sighed, feeling a headache coming on: "I don't know, but I think I might die soon, the kind where the monster drains me dry."

Then he handed the Polaroid camera to Akane.

"Why don't you take a funeral photo of me now?"

"Is it because of the Bloodfanger?"

"Click".

As Akane asked him a question, she casually snapped a photo of him, but in the instant the lens flashed, a man exuding a wild and aggressive aura appeared behind Kino.

Today, Cilang didn't follow the customers who had just finished drinking coffee because he had been keeping an eye on Kino since early this morning.

"You bastard—"

The wolf wore a sinister smile: "It seems like they have some issues with me lately, doesn't that sound right?"

Kino: "..." I've been found out after all.

……

Chapter 10 Second Wolf

Ever since he started harassing Jiro, Kino has never dared to go to any remote or deserted places alone.

Neither of them dared to.

Because having red voice is basically useless.

After waiting for an opportunity to ambush the lone Kino, the wolf finally lost his patience and came directly to her as she walked out of the coffee shop.

"If you're going to call it an opinion, then it really is..."

Kino touched his neck and said, "Since you've already come looking for me, why don't we go back inside and talk things over?"

There's a buff in the coffee shop; at least the second wolf can restrain its wild nature and not go berserk.

So the two of them found a quiet corner in the coffee shop and sat down. Akane was also interested in joining in, but Kino chased her away temporarily.

The wolf opposite him sat with his legs crossed, looking disdainful and cold, staring at Kino as if he was already looking for a place to strike.

Although Kino hadn't had coffee in a while, that didn't stop Jiro from taking care of this troublesome human.

"Ci Lang, have you been following those guests who came out of 'Mald'amour' these past few days because you want to absorb their life energy?" Kino went straight to the point.

Ci Lang's gaze suddenly darkened: "So, it was because you discovered my identity?"

Kino nodded: "Yeah, I know you're the last survivor of the werewolf race. And if the King of the Fangbloods discovers that there are still other demons, not only you, but the two survivors of the fish-men and Frankenstein's monster race will probably be hunted down as well."

Upon hearing this, the wolf was taken aback.

This human not only knew his identity, but also knew about the existence of Bashar and Dega?

Kino continued, "I remember, you demons don't necessarily need to absorb human 'life energy' to survive, right?"

In this era, many vampires, after being brutally beaten by the Supreme Blue Sky Society, were unable to continue absorbing life energy for various reasons and thus endured it for twenty years.

Moreover, Garuru, Basha, and Dega, the three demons, stayed in Delan Dragon Castle and did not go out to be active.

This shows that human life energy is not actually a necessity for them.

Ci Lang leaned slightly towards the person opposite him, his sharp eyes filled with ferocity like a wolf's: "Are you threatening me?"

Kino met his gaze without fear: "Yes, so if you attack me, I will inform the King of the Fang Blood Demons of your whereabouts. You don't need to worry about whether I can do it or not, since I already know about your existence, don't I?"

Although Kino didn't actually have the means to contact the King of the Fang Blood Demons, that didn't stop him from using it to scare the wolf, since the wolf's intelligence wasn't actually that high anyway.

"You, a human?"

Cilang's face twitched slightly, his eyes flashing with fierce light, and he slowly approached Kino opposite him with aggressive intent.

Just then, a pair of hands suddenly reached in from between them, blocking their gazes, and then Akane's usual flippant and carefree voice rang out.

"alright, alright!"

Hongyin also leaned gracefully against the table with a sideways movement, propping her head up with her hand and looking at Jiro with a smile: "A sacred place like a coffee shop isn't for someone like you to scare kids~"

This was the same line that the wolf had used to mock Akane Otoya, and now it was being thrown back at him.

Interrupted from his momentum, Cilang paused for a moment, then sneered disdainfully, "Someone like you would know the sacredness of coffee?"

"Of course, why?"

Hongyin also stopped smiling and stared at him.

The second wolf also refused to back down.

Then, inexplicably, the situation turned into a tense stare-down between the two, one sitting and one standing, as if they were engaged in a competition where whoever looked away first would lose. Invisible sparks flashed between them, and their heads began to get closer and closer...

Kino leaned back and looked at them strangely.

He hadn't even finished reciting his prepared remarks.

Having already threatened the wolf, it's time to offer a sweet treat—that's why he sent Hongyin away earlier to prevent her from causing trouble.

Speaking of which, isn't Yuri Aso in the shop today? Otherwise, why would Akane have come over again?

Kino looked around, and just then another man walked up to their coffee table and placed a stack of documents between Jiro and Akane.

"You've got work, interns." The island's headmaster frowned as he looked at the two people on either side of him.

“This guy isn’t!” Hongyin immediately pointed at Cilang and kicked him out.

He then turned his head and saw Aso Yuri following behind Shima Mamoru. He immediately opened his arms wide with a bright smile to greet her.

"Yuri~ my love~~"

"What are you doing? Don't come any closer!"

Yuri Aso cried out and quickly jumped back.

Shima gave Akane a speechless look, shook his head, moved the documents in front of Kino, and then sat down at the coffee table next to him.

"The Supreme Blue Sky Society recently discovered that those who bought the violin called 'Pitch Black Star' at the auction have all been attacked, and it's very likely that it's the Fang Vampire," Shima said in a deep voice.

"So, are we supposed to lure out that tooth-toothed vampire?" Kino asked, looking at the documents.

The picture shows a pure black violin. Since its creation two hundred years ago, this piece has been sought after by musicians and collectors for its stunning and exquisite craftsmanship.

Kino remembers that the violin was actually made by a vampire, who was looking for someone who was truly worthy of owning it.

Those who weren't qualified were all eliminated.

"Is it possible?" the island guard asked calmly.

"If we successfully prevent this Blood Fang from reappearing, then will I also be qualified to access the inner workings of your Supreme Blue Sky Society?" Kino asked him.

The island guard didn't speak for a moment, but after meeting the boy's confident eyes, he gave a cryptic chuckle.

"it is good."

Kino was satisfied with the promise, but then his eyes lit up as he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, does this count as performance evaluation?"

"........."

……

"Why make them do this? Is that guy really capable?"

After Kino and Akane left to carry out their mission, Aso Yuri sat in the coffee shop, asking the person in front of her with a somewhat complicated expression.

The island's chairman took a sip of coffee: "Are you referring to that boy, or Akane Otoya?"

Aso Yuri was speechless.

Because of Akane's consistent behavior, the impression that she is unreliable has almost become ingrained in her instincts. Even that seemingly young boy is more reliable than Akane.

The island's chairman put down his coffee cup and chuckled, "Since we don't know, let's just believe them. Isn't it interesting?"

After saying this, he stood up and prepared to leave, but before leaving, he glanced at Aso Yuri, who was hanging her head and looking stubborn.

"And that thing is almost finished."

"...!"

Yuri Aso suddenly widened her eyes and turned her head.

That thing...

Is the IXA system finally coming to an end?

……

Chapter 11: Selling Akane will suffice.

Masquerade Auction.

This is a private auction that is not open to the public.

Those who can come here to participate in the auction are all wealthy and powerful, and the Supreme Blue Sky Association directly obtained two slots, allowing Kino and Akane to come here and bid for the violin item called "Pitch Black Star".

Kino was very excited because it was his first time visiting such a place, especially since they didn't have to pay for the things they bought. It was also the first time he had ever seen so much money.

"Don't look like you've never seen anything like this before. This little bit of money is nothing to you~" Hongyin said leisurely.

"Oh, then you'd better turn this money into mine." Kino pouted.

What do you need so much money for?

"I want to buy my own motorcycle."

"That's it?"

As the two were talking, the auction finally reached the violin, and Akane's gaze was instantly drawn to the pure black violin with its dull luster.

The starting bid is 15 million yen.

After all, it was an artwork that had been passed down for two hundred years. Immediately, a wealthy businessman made a bid, while a masked man sitting at the back of the hall looked displeased.

The wealthy businessman bought the violin simply to collect and show off; he had no right to own it.

But soon another person made a bid.

Kino also eagerly raised his hand.

"Thirty million yen!"

The auctioneer immediately shouted.

Thirty million yen was already the bottom line for most people's opinion on this violin, not to mention that this violin was also burdened with a "curse" that it would be destroyed. Therefore, after this price was announced, no one in the audience continued to raise the price.

This left Kino feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

Shout! Why have you stopped shouting?

Although Supreme Blue Sky would make them determined to win the bid for the violin no matter what, the funds they were given could only be used to buy the violin; they couldn't compete for the other items.

Kino then gestured with his eyes to Akane Otoya beside him, but the latter was only focused on examining the violin.

"Thirty million yen, sold!"
