"What do you mean that Taniguchi is dead?" Hiroto was shocked. "So we've been sitting here and discussing, what to do and he died?"

"Why didn't you call us?" asked Toshima.

Saito and Mitsuru looked at each other.

"Everything happened too fast" replied Saito.

"Taniguchi threatened us" added Mitsuru.

"It's hard to defeat a vampire, who moves at the speed of light" Mida sat down on a chair.

"As if we were trying to catch the ghost" said Hashi. "We couldn't even react."

"Or maybe there just weren't enough of you?" suggested Toshima.

"Shouldn't you call us?" asked Yama. "Maybe then there wouldn't be so many injured."

"Speaking of the injured" Saito unwrapped three daggers from the cloth.

"We have the weapons of choice" Mitsuru passed the daggers to the rest.

"They have names engraved on them" noticed Shinya. ">>Yokoyama Megumi<<, >>Watabe Satoru<<, >>Taniguchi Hideki<<..."

"We must keep these daggers" announced Mitsuru.

"But Hideki's one needs to be secured" said Hashi.

"We'll be fine, so why hide it?" Mida was confused.

"Maybe so that our vampire friends don't stumble upon it, for example" explained Saito.

"What are you talking about?" asked Akhide.

"This dagger is sacred" replied Hashi.

Conquerors looked at each other.

"Sacred?" repeated Shinya.

"How can a vampire wear a sacred dagger?" Toshima was shocked.

"Will someone explain this to me?" Akihide started to lose his patience.

"Holy water does to vampires the same, what fire does to us" replied Mitsuru.

"Even if they accidentally put their hand in the sunlight, it hurts less" added Saito.

"Seeing Kousuke writhing in pain was terrifying" said Mitsuru.

"Taniguchi had a good time" added Mida.

"Fortunately, Shino killed him" said Hashi.

"Shino?" Yama was surprised. "Really?"

"The strangest thing is that he has a white aura" said Saito and Mitsuru simultaneously.

"Is he an ordinary man?" Akihide was shocked.

"It seems that you don't have to be born a conqueror to become one" said Toshima.

"Actually, I knew about it" admitted Yama, crossing his fingers.

"How?" Hiroto was surprised.

"He told me" replied Yama. "He told me when I started to guess and I just asked him."

"You should have told us, Yama" said Saito.

"We wouldn't have fired him" Mitsuru sighed.

"Kousuke said you would" admitted Yama.

"Kousuke is talking bullshit" Saito waved his hand. "He's not worth listening to."

"So Kousuke also knew" Mitsuru shook his head. "I have absolutely no questions."

"Anyway, where is he?" asked Yama.

"Who?" asked Mida.

"Shino."

"At the hospital" replied Hashi.

"Taniguchi stabbed him with a dagger" explained Mida.

Yama turned pale.

"I have to go there" he said, standing up.

"I'm going with you" announced Hiroto, jumping up from his chair and running to Yama, who was already leaving.

"He seems to like him though" said Toshima, leaning towards Shinya as the door closed behind Yama and Hiroto.

"No shit, you genious" Shinya smiled slightly and went back to washing the dishes.
