Vol.25 Prologue: Verdict

The night sky, dark and ominous, seemed to suck in everything around it, reminiscent of the end of the century. A vampire with black wings spread wide was flying through the sky. In times when there was no communication, people would have surely called it a demon. Even with its adorable long twin tails, or its enormous rocket-like breasts straining against its red high-leg costume—but now, no one in the capital city of Imperia would dare call her a demon. For the Hybridians, vampires had become a common sight. They were now just another part of the royal capital's skyline, occasionally crossing the heavens. But tonight was different. It was rare for vampires to fly at night. The vampire soaring through the sky, her expression filled with a melancholy and loneliness that seemed to pierce the void, was Valkyria, Hiroto's lover. What had happened to Hiroto? His lover was asleep, but she couldn't sleep, so she had left his bedroom. Today, she heard shocking news. There was less than a year left before Hiroto would leave this world. According to the promise made four years ago, Hiroto would leave this world within a year and return to his original world. And once he returned, he would never come back. The time she had with Hiroto was over. No matter how high-ranking a holy priest summoned him, Hiroto would never be called back. Once he returns, she will never see Hiroto again. She had always hoped that Hiroto would return someday. She had also heard somewhere that it might be five years. But she thought it could be extended. However, today, before King Leonidas I, she was told by the Vice Archbishop Sylferis. Unless something happens, Hiroto will return to his original world. Of course, Souichirou too—.
