as he shot one of his iron arrows. Though he shouldn’t have been able to stop it, D grabbed it right in front of his chest. At the same time, Kuentz leapt.

The instant he decided to fight, the only plan of attack that’d arisen in his brain was to keep D’s hands occupied. In fact, the Hunter had cut off his own left hand. That left only the right one. If he was unable to use it, Kuentz would have a few seconds when the Hunter would be open to attack before he had use of the limb again. And that was Kuentz’s only hope of victory.

D discarded the iron arrow.

From above, Kuentz drove his blade down at the nape of D’s neck. For an instant, there was a choking cry of pain, and with it, the young man’s body twisted in midair. When he thudded to the ground at D’s feet, the young man had a black arrow jutting from his left shoulder—the very same arrow he himself had launched. D hadn’t discarded the arrow he’d caught, but rather had hurled it at Kuentz.

There was no change to the beauty of the countenance that peered down at the writhing Kuentz, but the ripples of malice that rose in the Hunter’s eyes and the terrific hunger there were a sight to see. Reaching out with his right hand, he seized Kuentz by the throat. A cry of agony flowed upward as D hoisted Kuentz into the air with one arm. The concealed blade dropped from Kuentz’s hand, rattling loudly. The young man’s neck was right in front of the Hunter’s lips. They snapped open savagely.

Seeing the crimson interior of his mouth, Mia felt lightheaded. And because of this, she didn’t remember shouting, “Stop it!” or snatching up the concealed blade and driving it into D’s chest. The next thing she knew, she’d backed down a couple of stairs and was staring at the two men. Kuentz was crouched at D’s feet, coughing, while the gorgeous Hunter trained his gaze on Mia without saying a word. More than Kuentz’s blade, which she’d driven into his sternum, it was the look D gave her that shook Mia.

“Nicely done,” he said in the voice of the beautiful Vampire Hunter she knew so well.

At Mia’s feet, a hoarse voice remarked, “I’d say so,” but she only understood D.

“D—you’re better, aren’t you?” the girl said, her voice choked with relief and tears.

D didn’t reply to her, but instead grabbed Kuentz by the shoulder and pulled him to his feet, telling him to climb the staircase before him.

As Mia was just about to follow Kuentz up, a hand latched onto her ankle.

“Good lord!” Mia shouted, and looking down, she was left breathless.

Having been taken off at the shoulder, D’s left arm was gripping her ankle tightly.

“W-what are you doing?”

“Don’t worry about me. Just keep going. I’ll stick with you,” the left hand said.

Though she knew it could talk, the situation was somewhat uncanny.

“Can’t you walk yourself?”

“Nope.”

“Then I guess it can’t be helped.
