darkness..  
They're called Shinma.  Now they have waken up from sleep and are gathering.
In the final night when the darkness, Shinma, and humans are brought together, 
a girl wonder in and the story begins.

Vampire Girl Miyu

Help me, Himiko-san...

You need my help?

Please, Himiko-san...

If he's gone, I don't know what to do...

Sure, then.  But there's one condition.

If I succeed in releasing him, I want to know about him, you and Shinma..

Why do you have to know?

I..  I just want to know.

Episode 3 - "Fragile Armor"

Please, Himiko-san.

What is it?!

Miyu, the huntress of Shinma.  
Hunt me of Shinma, if you can.

No!  

What do you mean?!

Sorry.  I can't handle him.

Why not?!

Hunt me, kill me, Miyu!

Looks like it doesn't work like in a manga....

Wow.. great.

Show me the way.

Witch is kind of troublesome, but she's just mere human..  
You're so depressing.

I am Shinma.  I will succeed next time.

Lavar is my only servant and friend.

That, I already heard.

Then, what do you want to know?

Where you came from and....

Where do we go?  I don't know.

good...  That's it.

Why did you make me do this?  
What does a human house got to do with me of Shinma?

It's got nothing to do with you.  I just wanted to know your strength.

The sea at night is a bit scary because it looks like it might take me away.

I was listening to the ocean wave, and that's when Lavar came.

When was that?

I don't remember.

There's nothing to be afraid of.  I want to borrow a little of your soul.

 Good girl..  
I came across the ocean, to become your people's chief.

Chief?

That's right..  Of Shinma..

Shinma?  I don't know anything like that...

Your body should remember.  
Our ancestors who came across the ocean like me, and gave a power to somebody 
with the same blood as yours.

My blood?...

Stay still..

I want your blood...

That's when I found out that there's blood of vampire in my body.  

As a punishment for failing to kill me, Lavar's face and voice were sealed, 
and became my servant.  The only servant.  I only got him.  

He's the only one to help me, understand my heart.  

He's my important man..  
Please, Himiko-san.  Help Lavar.

Can't you beat him?

Not me.

Anyway, this ought to stop anybody beside you and me from getting near him.  

Darani/seal worked on him, so this might work, too.  But how am I supposed to 
help?.

This?

Doesn't it look like him?

I didn't know myself why I agreed to help that little demon..  

I ran around all over Kyoto as she told me.  There's no feeling of frustration.

Why?..  Am I starting to feel..  No.. no way!..  

The armor in photo changed the owner a lot and in the end, it was given to an 
ordinary couple as a legacy...

The monster that attacked Miyu and I didn't appear.  

I had no choice but to search the whereabout of the armor.  

What is it?  Something about this house?

No.. er..  A fire?

It looks like an arson, but good thing the house was empty 

The couple?  Oh yes..  they lived here till a month ago, but they died.  
Suicide..

Suicide?...

It was so tragic....  Long ill husband died and right after that, his wife 
followed him.

Excuse me..  Do you know if there was an armor of some sort?

Armor?..  No, there wasn't any.

Oh it's nothing.  Thank you....

Are you looking for this?

Wasn't the photo taken here?

Why did you get interested in that?

Oh..  I was doing some research on a grad school thesis.

Weren't you asked by a girl?

Girl?

Well, lady medium?

Please stop making trouble for us, lady..  Die.

So, you finally showed yourself.

Now you can't run or hide anymore, Shinma "Remles."

Shinma?  Remles?..  Miyu, you used me as a decoy, didn't you?!

Release the seal you put on Lavar, Shinma Remles!  

Stop the clever talk!  
Pretending to be leader of Shinma?!

If you want to rule Shinma by killing me, target me!

Rule Shinma?  I'm not interested at all!  

All I want to do is to release Lavar from you!

You know Lavar?!

I was Lavar's best friend....  
No, closer than that!

I drank his blood!  He's mine!

But you can't defeat him, can you?!

Huntress of Shinma, hunt me.

Stop!  Remember!

Remember?

That's right!  Who you are, why you're here, you who was once human!

Me, human?
    
Look at this!

He can't be!!  What're you doing?!

Remles, I'll say one more time!  Release Lavar!

You die, vampire!!

In your case, I won't return you to the Darkness.  I'll burn you down to ashes.

Lavar!  How come you got deceived by that girl!

Remles, can't see?

See what?!

That girl's sadness...

I now know, huntress.

Let go of me!

I am Shinma.  I am stray Shinma.  Stray Shinma is destined to be killed by you.

No..  You're human, so I..

Don't say anymore!

Lavar!!  You're freed..  thank god..  Lavar, it's OK about him.....

Remember.  You're human man who died of long illness, leaving behind beloved 
wife.  

I don't know anything like that!

You must remember!!  Your soul was sealed into the armor as a vessel and 
revived..  

By one of the black magic that control human life and death of Shinma Remlia.  

Your body perished but your soul was revived!

I don't know anything!

I am Shinma!!!

You're human, so the human law will give you the verdict.

He will be tried by humans.  
He wanted by forget that he died, and revived by Shinma.

That's right..  I'm..  I'm...

For Remlia's magic, he needed the body of the dead one, and one more fresh 
soul.  

To revive her husband, the wife offered her soul to Shinma.  

He wanted to forget that, so he convinced himself that he's ordinary Shinma...

I'm..  I'm human, don't shoot!!  I'M HUMAN!!!

Bye, Himiko-san.

Why didn't you let him die as he was, as Shinma?!  There are things that 
people want to forget, things that they'd rather forget till death!

Is it over by just by forgetting?  I can't forgive anybody who forget their 
sadness, love, hate....   
Because..  I never did...

?  Miyu?....  you're...
