With the world in peril once again, I, Kimihiko Kimizuka, returned to my role as the Ace Detective’s assistant and set out on a journey to recover the lost memories of humanity. Following a trail of leads and using the Sacred Relic discovered by the Oracle, we sought to investigate a crisis from a certain world in the past, and the Vampire Scarlet was at the center of it. But the deeper we delved, even the harrowing truths that were once beyond our reach began to bubble to the surface. This is the story of detectives who continued to pursue the mysteries that remain hidden from the world—and the story of a Vampire King who defied the injustices of the world and fought ’til the very end.
DO THEY COME WHEN MISFORTUNE CALLS, OR DO THEY BRING MISFORTUNE WITH THEM?Seiji Tohno sometimes sees the people around him as monsters. It’s a curse that has driven him to a life of despair, living out of net cafés with nowhere to call home…but all that changes one twilit evening when he stumbles across a huge European mansion. There, Seiji meets a bewitchingly beautiful boy dressed in a white peony-print kimono who introduces himself as Shiroshi Saijou. This mysterious young man seems to know more about Seiji than he does himself, and before he knows it, Seiji has agreed to become Shiroshi’s part-time assistant. What he doesn’t know, however, is that Shiroshi’s “proxy service†is to consign yokai-possessed sinners to Hell, which will bring Seiji face-to-face with an unimaginable host of horrors!
