It starts with Mika coming to Ferid’s mansion. Standing in front of it, he’s trembling with fear, because a few children that were regularly coming to Ferid’s mansion, went missing, but of course, no vampire would make a fuss just because of a few livestock disappearing. Mika tries to calm himself down, telling himself that he will be alright. So he knocks, and the door opens, inviting him in.
Inside he finds the interior decorum that’s so luxurious that he only saw something like it in picture books and fairy tales, and also there are quite a few children there.
A girl comes up to him, asking if he’s the newcomer who’s supposed to come here today and if he’s going to live here starting today. After getting a no, she identifies him as “Ferid-sama’s special favorite” and takes him to Ferid.
On the way, Mika sees children playing with many nice toys, and thinks that he would like to bring Yuu-chan and the other Hyakuya orphans here. But not before he confirms that this place is not dangerous in any way.
Mika is taken to the garden where many colorful flowers grow, and this is Mika’s first time seeing flowers in this underground city. Ferid is nowhere in sight, but when the girl calls out to him, he emerges from behind one of the flower beds, with blood on his lips. Then a boy gets up from that flower bed with blood trickling down his neck. When the boy sees Mika, he embarrassedly tries to hide the wounds on his neck. Ferid allows him to take anything he wants from the mansion and sends him and the girl off. And that leaves Mika all alone with Ferid.
Mika says that he heard that those who come here will be granted special favors. Yes, if he, Ferid, takes a liking to them, Ferid specifies. Mika is determined to make Ferid like him no matter what, because in this world seemingly without a future beyond being livestock, sooner or later the Hyakuya orphans’ hearts are bound to die. Yuu-chan is always saying that he will kick the vampires’ butts, and the children believe him for now, but there will come a time when they will realize how impossible that is. Before that happens, Mika is determined to do something and not let despair eat away at their hearts.
