Kuze lies on a cliff grass while Haruna informs Kanade of recent events, prompting Kanade to thank Erika. Kuze appears but ignores everyone, including Iori and Seichiro. Iori questions Erika and Kohei, who are responsible for the culture fair. Seichiro meets Kuze and introduces her to someone else. Erika and Kohei go shopping, where she explains her contract with her mother, Kaya Sendo, which requires her to find a servant or return to the estate after graduation. Kohei offers to serve her, but she declines because she wishes to remain a normal human. That night, Erika drinks more blood and expresses a strong desire for Kohei's blood.
