"let's begin—" "Pitiful boy." "Heart-Under-Blade's subordinate." "before that let's confirm the terms." "If I win... you'll give me Kiss-Shot's right leg." "Is that fine with you?" "If I win... you'll tell me Heart-Under-Blade's whereabouts." "I'm fine with that." "Then let's begin."

"A-A vampire?" "That guy's a vampire?" "You can tell just by looking at him." "Or are you saying that there are humans with a body like his?" "I've lived for five hundred years but I've never heard of a human like that." "But... why did a vampire become a vampire-exorcising specialist?" "I don't get it." "A vampire that would kill its brethren... isn't all that unusual. a tooth for a tooth a vampire for a vampire." "Right?" "Araragi-kun?" "Hanekawa..." "Nope." "I won't let you see them today." "What— What— What— What—" "What are— What are— What are— you talking about?" "I don't— I don't— I don't— understand." "—stand —stand —stand —stand ." "I have no idea what you are saying." "Hmm." "What?" "Did you forget?" "You saw my panties." "you've been staring since I got here." "N-No!" "It's all a misunderstanding!" "I just noticed the texture of your skirt..." "R-Right..." "I was only looking at the texture of your skirt..." "That's still pretty perverted." "Hanekawa..." "What are you doing in a place like this?" "Hm?" "I guess." "But..." "At this hour?" "Araragi-kun?" "A baseball book?" "What's wrong?" "A book you can't show to others?" "Could it be pornographic?" "Nonsense!" "I've never touched such filthy books." "They would defile your soul." "I'm leaving." "That's how it is." "why are you leaving so soon?" "Let's stay and talk some more!" "Talk?" "What about?" "Huh?" "What indeed..." "So Araragi-kun... how were your studies today?" "I focused on math." "Ma— huh?" "I worked on my Spanish today." "Spanish?" "I actually don't know Spanish." "Th—That's too bad." "Yeah." "I only know common words." "Spasibo!" "you know." "And spasibo translates to wonderful." "You shouldn't do that!" "You have to think before you speak!" "R—Right." "You really do know everything." "I don't know everything." "I just know what I know." "At any rate..." "Learning is a really great thing!" "Humans are learning their whole life." "Araragi-kun!" "That's why we have to be more constructive..." "Yeah!" "Like thinking of ways to better society!" "True enough." "How about ways to prevent bullying?" "Hanekawa..." "Isn't it time to go home?" "This is usually the time I head back." "Well..." "Well I guess this is about the time most go home..." "You really... shouldn't be out at night." "You might run into a vampire." "I'm kind of hoping for it." "Don't get me wrong." "I do think it's just a rumor." "But I can't say for sure that I won't meet one." "Why?" "Why do you want to meet a vampire?" "I haven't thought that far ahead." "I guess I just want something different from everyday events." "Encountering a vampire... and making small talk—" "Don't be so stupid!" "Huh?" "So—Sorry!" "right?" "No." "You just irritate me." "It just pisses me off... that arrogance of yours." "I like to be alone." "Don't follow me around." "where is this coming from?" "Weren't we having fun chatting just now?" "we weren't." "I was only pretending it was fun." "I'm only here for your money!" "What?" "My family isn't rich at all!" "Who knows if you're here just for self-satisfaction but it's pretty clear that little Miss Perfect could in no way give a damn about some student like me!" "You must feel so superior being the one to give out sympathy but I never asked for your worthless pity!" "168)}Hanekawa Tsubasa" "Don't go around touching other people's phones!" "Huh?"

"I've raised my strength as a human being back." "I've gotten stronger." "That's why..." "That's why me... fighting Dramaturgy and retrieving Kiss-Shot's right leg... will certainly be no problem." "that is what's most important." "A broken heart is... no problem." "562)}March 31st" "518)}Front Gates of Naoetsu High School" "What's wrong?" "Heart-Under-Blade's subordinate." "Don't give me such a dull name!" "How's that?" "Dramaturgy?" "It is as it looks." "I give up." "You hitting me with that is not something I can afford." "It would take me two whole days to recover." "You seem to have misunderstood." "Vampires cannot recover from damage instantly." "Your lineage is an exception." "you are Heart-Under-Blade's subordinate." "I surmised I could still win due to experience." "However..." "It is impossible." "I cannot hunt you." "But still..." "Perhaps you'd prefer if I speak this way?" "I'll never hunt you again." "Please spare my life." "524)}Front Gates of Naoetsu High School" "In any case..." "Right leg: retrieved." "What was all that?" "Araragi-kun." "I'm not too sure because I only saw from a distance but weren't you doing things like it was out from a romantic fiction?" "It has nothing to do with you." "Rather... why are you tailing me again?" "I don't get it." "I told you not to follow me." "Stop acting like you're my friend." "you're not someone who would say such things." "I'm really sorry for making you say all that." "But right now you're in a situation right?" "I guess I noticed too late and forced your hand." "Sorry!" "I want to help you!" "Stop being so cocky!" "Don't misunderstand." "I simply got bored of you." "I prefer to be alone." "I don't believe you." "Someone who hates humans or the world itself... that's not who Araragi-kun is." "I know that much!" "354)}Recall" "354)}Recall" "Because you seemed to enjoy talking with me at least!" "I was only after your money!" "And I told you my family isn't rich at all!" "42)}TL Note:" "Araragi messed up the word "body" with a water bottle brand which in turn sounds the same as the phrase "I meant." "Then I'm after your Dakara!" "then just say so!" "I meant your body!" "Dakara or my body?" "Make up your mind!" "Your body!" "Got that?" "Show me your panties again and we'll be at peace." "Understood." "Satisfied?" "Can you see them?" "I can take off my blouse too." "Hey..." "I'm sorry for my cruel words." "Please be my friend." "huh?" "That's what middlemen are for." "Heart-Under-Blade." "what exactly are you going to do?" "Your legs now are a lot smaller." "right?" "I'll do this." "you brutes." "Leave me to my meal." "Have some manners." "Oshino..." "What is it?" "354)}Recall" "My left arm was blown clean off by Dramaturgy." "But it grew back like it was nothing." "Then how come Kiss-Shot's limbs don't regenerate as well?" "354)}Recall" "That's probably because most of Heart-Under-Blade's vampire immortality had already been lost by the time you two met." "Don't you think so too?" "I do think so. 354)}Recall the severed ones vanished." "Kiss-Shot's limbs should have vanished as well." "But they haven't." "Why is that?" "They've neither regenerated nor vanished..." "Araragi-kun." "Her limbs were methodically stolen by those three in a way that claimed ownership." "Those guys divided the body from the limbs did they not?" "they stole more than just her limbs but also her vampire existence itself." "Oshino." "Can I really become human again?" "Well if you regain all of Heart-Under-Blade's limbs then you should." "Isn't that what she said?" "It was but... isn't it possible that she just lied to me?" "she lied..." "Hey." "You shouldn't doubt her so much." "It'd be such a shame." "But—" "Not even trusting the one who saved your life?" "You're quite the ingrate." "354)}Recall" "what's with the long face?" "Did something nice happen?" "Don't talk like you can see through me." "562)}April 1st" "it must be my fault then." "Huh?" "What is?" "That you became a vampire." "right?" "Looks like that saying also applies to the supernatural." "and they'll start appearing." "But that doesn't add up. you should've met a vampire too." "It's not like it had to." "The likelihood to meet one only increased." "I actually did meet one." "I met you." "Leaving the likelihood itself aside... you were out searching for one yesterday." "Why is that?" "You said you wanted to encounter one and then make small talk..." "Well it's not like I was seriously searching for one." "That would be like asking for the moon." "I don't know how to say it but..." "I just wanted something new." "Haven't you ever wanted a change in your life?" "huh?" "in the end." "I'd love to return to reality right now." "You will." "I'm sure of that." "Though I did say I wanted to help... I don't think there's much I can do." "That's not true at all." "I'm still extremely grateful." "It's fine." "It's the least I could do." "shouldn't you change clothes already?" "Your clothes are torn up." "That's true." "So uh... that is..." "I guess." "You're size is M right?" "Y—Yeah!" "I didn't know if you wanted briefs or trunks so I got both." "What's wrong?" "Not going to change?" "I will..." "Hold on!" "Looks like I was right." "I noticed yesterday too." "your physique is changing a little." "I was barely able to recognize you from behind the other day." "It seems its because your muscles are changing." "They seem to be getting more slender or should I say firmer." "Becoming a vampire reshapes your body." "Your regenerative power keeps you at optimal condition." "Excuse me for a bit. you still feel very much like other humans." "you do seem a bit more flexible." "Like other humans?" "does that mean... you've touched the bodies of other men?" "No!" "No!" "No!" "There's no way I would do that!" "Th—That's right!" "It was all baseless conjecture." "I shouldn't do that." "Could you put your shirt on already?" "Y—Yeah!" "It looks great on you." "Hanekawa." "I'll definitely pay you back." "You don't have to." "This is all I can do." "Just this is more than enough." "I mean it." "Th—That's not necessary!" "People just help each other out in times of need!" "If there's anything else you need me for you can feel free to ask." "This was the best I could do for now though." "That's right!" "We should clean this room!" "It's a total mess!" "There's no need for that." "It's always been like this." "That's all the more reason that we do it ourselves!" "Any place that needs cleaning should be cleaned." "Hm?" "Huh?" "What is this?" "354)}Recall 354)}Recall" "I forgot to mention it." "The bag you dropped looked important" "I went back and retrieved it." "Y—You goddamned traitor!" "Um..." "So this means you met a vampire as you returned from the bookstore" "on March 25th?" "This was after we talked to each other?" "So what is the meaning of this?" "562)}April 4th" "Episode is a half-vampire vampire hunter... 376)}End Recall" "I can tell what that means but... but can't I have some more information than that?" "I forget." "H—Hey!" "Just wait." "I'll remember at once." "I remember now." "What do you remember?" "That Episode fellow... despises vampires with a passion." "Despise?" "How come?" "Isn't he half-vampire? half-vampires are not an entity accepted in the vampire world." "they're not accepted in the human world either. he hates his vampire blood." "he bears a strong hatred towards vampires." "he is here for more personal reasons." "That's hilarious." "It sure makes me laugh!" "Chief Dramaturgy lost to a brat like you of all people!" "I'll show those guys how to kill prey." "I'll say this now:" "Don't think I'll go easy on you." "I hate picking on the weak... but I love hurting villains!" "Am I a villain?" "Of course!" "You're a monster after all." "326)}Monster" "You're the one..." "Huh?" "What am I?" "spit it out!" "No." "It's nothing." "I have nothing to say to you." "Let's begin!" "Th—The cross?" "Araragi-kun!" "You can't give up yet!" "Your opponent turns into fog so..." "That means you have to—" "Hanekawa..." "Hanekawa!" "Hanekawa!" "Hanekawa!" "stop yelling..." "Get a grip!" "Your opponent turns into fog..." "Hilarious." "Fog is nothing but water." "what would happen to you?" "That's enough!" "Anymore and you'll lose your humanity." "O— Oshi— O—" "You— You were—" "What about Hanekawa?" "!" "You don't have to yell." "You sure are energetic today." "Did something good happen?" "However... I think the match is over." "he fainted." "But— But—" "Hanekawa was..." "Hanekawa was..." "Yes." "I saw." "Why did you just watch then?" "Why didn't you stop her?" "!" "Not part of the fee." "I'm here to negotiate with the three vampire specialists." "Anything more is extra." "An ordinary person isn't included." "Then say so from the beginning!" "If you only said so... you could pay her part of the fee." "How about another two million?" "Two million?" "I'd pay even three million!" "Oshino!" "It's no game." "It's about gain." "332)}Game 332)}Gain" "negotiations are complete." "I'll give you a hint." "Araragi-kun." "What can you use your immortal body for?" "Hanekawa..." "Araragi-kun?" "Why are you rubbing your cheek on my stomach like it's a prized possession?" "And it looks like my uniform's been ripped off." "Could this mean you're..." "Hanekawa." "Please let me stay like this a bit longer." "562)}April 5th" "My body sure feels a lot better now!" "You could say I've almost recovered my immortality." "Then could that mean you can fight the next battle?" "it seems I still cannot use any of my vampiric skills." "It just means I'm harder to kill now. but someone like Episode could be a problem." "And if the opponent were Guillotinecutter... huh?" "354)}Recall isn't he?" "Indeed." "He's not vampire like Dramaturgy neither is he a half-vampire like Episode." "354)}Recall human." "He doesn't seem human at all though." "Hmph." "Indeed." "he's a priest." "Don't tell me he's of the special forces of Christianity." "Close but not quite." "right?" "isn't he still no match for a vampire? his specialty is still that of vampire exorcism." "That's what you have to be careful of." "did he not?" "it was only because I was careless." "My physical condition at the time was also quite bad." "If it was profession for Dramaturgy then Guillotinecutter hunts vampires out of faith." "but faith is very troublesome." "how's your stomach wound?" "You call it a wound but... there's not so much as a scar." "Is that so?" "I wonder..." "Let me see." "What do you mean "I wonder?" "would you like a sandwich?" "This one has tomato." "I'm fine." "Oh?" "Araragi-kun." "Coca Cola." "Thank you." "I have Diet Cola." "Now that your naturally muscular you wouldn't get fat no matter how many calories you consume." "I'm pretty jealous as a girl." "I wonder about that... it's more like I don't have an appetite anymore." "It feels like I'll be fine without even eating." "The appetite for vampires would have is for blood-sucking right?" "that's right." "don't you get the urge to suck blood?" "Hm?" "I don't." "Hanekawa." "It's better if you don't come here anymore." "I guess I was expecting that." "Please." "I don't want you to get hurt." "it will be a lot different." "Even with the other times..." "I didn't want to involve you at all." "I probably went too far when I wanted you to leave." "I'm sorry for shouting at you." "But this time is different." "How is it different?" "When you had your side blown open by Episode..." "I completely lost myself." "354)}Recall" "The blood in my head just stopped." "It was death." "Mine?" "Mine." "Have I told you about the strength of human beings?" "it hurt like it was my own." "No..." "It hurt more than if it were done to me." "I..." "I don't want to become human again if it means sacrificing you." "Sacrificing me?" "There's no way I'll let that happen!" "But are you even thinking about this?" "You're on your Spring Break but your wasting it on someone like me." "you've been on the verge of death." "Are you even thinking about what you're doing?" "N—Not at all!" "I don't understand you." "I wouldn't be able to do the things you do. and exposing a body that wasn't even immortal." "But you do it like it's the natural thing to do..." "You... scare me." "You're too bright..." "You shouldn't sacrifice yourself!" "Don't get me wrong... but I don't understand why you do so much for me." "I can't wrap my head around it." "I'm only a classmate you just met yet for some reason you've given so much to me." "It's like your a saint." "But your self-sacrifice is too much for me." "It's more than I could hope to bear." "you know." "It's not self-sacrifice at all!" "Then what is it?" "It's self-satisfaction." "you're misunderstanding me." "I'm not a kind person nor am I strong!" "I only do what I want to do!" "I don't think there's anyone more self-centered than I am!" "I'm very deceitful and stubborn." "at least." "But... then I guess I'm doing the wrong thing." "then it must be time I leave." "I guess there's nothing left I can do for you." "there's still something you can do." "Wait for me." "In the new semester of our school... wait for me." "I'll look forward to talking to you again from the bottom of my heart." "What's that sound?" "Heartbeats." "A girl's heartbeats sound like that?" "That was really dangerous." "I was about to fall in love." "So far down that you'd have struck spring water or oil?" "Do you always use that trick to hit on girls?" "Of course not." "What are you talking about?" "I almost never talk to girls." "Yet you talk like a womanizer and buy pornography." "Geez..." "I'll lend you this." "Return them to me when we meet in the new semester." "don't you?" "I... but if you don't want them..." "No!" "No!" "No!" "I never said I didn't." "This isn't a matter of whether I want them or not!" "So what'd you say?" "right?" "!" "Sorry." "I'm not giving them back." "What?" "I'll take it to the grave." "Then it will be passed down as an heirloom of the Araragi clan." "Please quit it." "These panties have parted with your body for all eternity!" "What's with you?" "!" "I won't give them back but... in exchange:" "I'll definitely pay back my debt. even if there's nothing I can do" "I'll be by your side without fail repaying my debt to you" "for the rest of my life." "Just give me back my panties already!" "I'm currently going commando with only a skirt for security!" "And I still have to walk all the way home!" "fighting Guillotinecutter right?" "!" "That's right!" "good luck!" "Good luck!" "See you at school!" "See you at school!" "I messed up." "Class Rep-chan got kidnapped." "What do I do?" "What do I do about him?" "Araragi-kun... you have to give up your humanity." "Araragi-kun!" "Araragi-kun." "I..." "What do you plan on doing with her?" "Nothing at all as long as you don't do anything." "I'm still quite well-built. then I can kill quite easily." "And you call yourself human?" "Hanekawa." "It's all right." "I'll definitely save you." "How unsightly." "I don't have the patience to humor your juvenile chitchat." "Let's start already." "Start what exactly? you shall raise both hands and say "I give up." "the fight ends the moment it begins." "Fine." "Araragi-kun!" "Forget about me!" "There's no way I could ever do that! I refuse to become human if it means losing you!" "Araragi-kun... 352)}Give up your humanity" "Certainly this... is not human at all." "I'm no human." "That much is clear." "I am a monster."
