Summary
Haru meets an old lady who wonders why Haru is dressed so good and realizes it must have been for a day with a boy. Haru continues to the arranged place, remembering she was told there would be food today and wonders from where it would be. The man then arrives asking her if she is excited for the food and Haru confirms, but wonder why are they meeting in a basement. The man explains that way they won't get interrupted and that he can enjoy her all by himself. The man then reaches and kisses her, but suddenly he bites her, making her tooth fall. He picks the tooth and eats it to Haru's shocked face. He tells her to smile for him, while his face turns into two big mouths.

Later the police are at the murder scene, where they comment that all of the woman's bones are gone and only her meat is there. One of the policemen suggests its done by a monster, a vampire, but Detective Allen explains that's not possible, as they have defeated the vampires 10 years ago and also they suck blood and won't leave it. That night, a woman asks for help and a man comes, but as he sees she is being eaten alive, he tries to run, only to be devoured too.

Seeing the autopsy report, Allen concludes it must be a monster and the police are organization meant to manage humans who break the law. Inspector Dune Aileron shows up and suggest they hire a specialist in the area, Hans Vahpet, the famous vampire hunter Silver Wolf.

At Hans' house, he plays chess with Cocowill, who thinks that she got Hans in a corner. Hans tells her he can use magic, but the magic he mentions is just old man complains. She reminds him that if he loses, he promised to take her on a date, but Hans acts like he can't hear. As they get guests on the door, Hans make a move and announces checkmate, which shocks Cocowill. Checking the door, Hans sees only a letter, which informs hims of the Bone Stealing case. Hans mentions he is specializing in vampire hunting and that he had retired 10 years ago, so if the police wants an old man's help they must be scheming something. Meanwhile, Dune and Allen discuss Dune's plan, which Hans realizes too: if he kills the monster, its all fine, but if he dies, the country will have to mobilize and take action. Hans reveals he planned to live his days peacefully, as his wife died on the battlefield 10 years ago, but seeing a monsters have been killing people and is threatening the peace, he decides to take one last job.
