As dusk starts to fall with the sun starting to set down and night settling in, Live had already watched woken up while Masaki was still up and about.

At that time, Live sat at the couch and drank a pack of blood while Masaki sat next to her.

Live: “Ah, how I love drinking blood… Makes a delicious snack for vampires! A good morning from the dead of night!”

Masaki: “You do drink a lot of those after all, Live… We really need to discuss more about that in the future.”

Live: “If only you’d become a vampire like us someday, Masaki-san.”

Masaki: “Yeah, I can only imagine. I wouldn’t drink as much as you do.”

Live finished drinking her pack as Masaki switched seats from the left side by sitting to her right side.

Live: “Wonder when Akira and Eiko are coming back to visit us again tonight. I think they both mentioned they’re leaving tomorrow.”

Masaki: “I’m sure they’ll come. And it seems Akira and Eiko may be in love.”

Live: “Isn’t it obvious? I feel like it’s paralleling about our relationship too, possibly in some way. I believe I love you, especially for your blood, Masaki!”

A melody plays as Live began singing with Masaki listening happily.

Live:
“There must be a place… A place where love has gone…
A bright, shiny world… Somewhere where love has gone…
Where dreams and desires… As cold as yesterday's fires…
Start to blaze anew… There must be a star gleaming in space…
That doesn't grow dim…with each last embrace…”

Enchanted by Live’s wonderful singing as well as the mellow melody, Masaki soon joins in by singing with her as Live too listened happily.

Masaki:
“They say love's gone when it goes… And I’m naive, I suppose…
Thеre may not be such a place… Thеre may not be such a star…
But still my fool of a heart… Just leads me on…
It wants to be there… There with you… Where love has gone…”

The two of them look at each other happily after Masaki finished the song. Almost as if their looks were full of love.

“Hey, lovebirds.”

The two of them looked up to see Yuki, who was standing upside down on the ceiling due to her being a vampire.

Yuki: “Live, I just got a text from Eiko saying they’ll be coming soon, but it turns out they happen to bring another friend of theirs… I also called Mother about this and she wishes for us to stop by her place so she could meet with Akira, Eiko and the others.”

The pink-haired vampire crossed her arms, listening carefully.

Live: “Another one? It must be another friend of theirs just like Nanami, so this person may also be nice. We’re still keeping our vampire identities a secret from the public, like what Mother said.”

Yuki: “They’re on their way, so I’m just letting you know, Live.”

Live: “Thanks, Shigeyuki. I knew we could count on you. Especially for our channel Mayonaka Punch.”

Yuki: “How many times do I have to say, my name is Yuki! But secondly, I’m glad to have joined, especially how my love for video games is expressed.”

Live: “We’re still surprised to this day that you’re a gamer, even after Mother destroyed your games at one point but you still managed to get new ones and play games.”

Suddenly, Tokage lunges from the room behind Yuki and embraces her while the latter was upside-down.

Tokage: “Hey, Yuki! I thought you were gonna play a few games with me!”

Yuki: “Tokage! We will, just please stop grabbing hold of me! We’ll play co-op for a bit!”

After Masaki and Live giggle happily to Tokage and Yuki’s predicament, the former turns over to Live.

Masaki: “Well, Live. Let’s get ready for tonight!”
