Plot
Early in the morning at the Okayado Hotel, Kimihito's household guests were shocked when they heard from Ms Smith that Kimihito had disappeared. Ms Smith tries to calm the girls down and asks if they really didn't all realize that Kimihito had gone missing yesterday. The girls say that yesterday they were all exhausted from searching for Papi and when they woke up this morning, Papi, who is still sleeping on the couch, had come back to the hotel anyways. While Miia and Centorea are close to tears or disappointed in themselves, Mero asks whether this is the work of the Vampire, which Ms Smith thinks is likely. She apologizes that she was on the event floor doing surveillance, searching for dangerous species and was therefore unable to keep an eye on Kimihito.

Thereupon, however, Doppel taps Ms Smith on the shoulder and whispers to her whether she really doesn't want to tell the girls that she used Kimihito as bait to try to catch the vampire, which even the Shapeshifter girl thinks was a bit much. Ms Smith whispers back that now is the time to avoid unnecessary confusion and distraction and that it's now important to do everything possible to move forward. Doppel mockingly replies that Ms Smith shouldn't try to make avoiding responsibility sound like some super cool movie line and that she'd be totally in favor of the girls calling Ms Smith a "damn alcoholic" (Since Ms Smith was at the bar while she should observing Kimihito) if she would tell the girls the truth about the events.

Before Ms Smith and Doppel can finish her conversation, Miia interupts and worriedly asks whether Kimihito is really okay, as she fears that if he is bitten by a Vampire, he will also turn into a Vampire, as is often shown in movies. Ms Smith insists that there is probably no need to worry, because regardless of how dangerous Vampires are, infecting someone isn't so simple. As an example, she cites the Zombie Virus by Zombina, which can turn a human into a Zombie, but as long as the victim doesn't die immediatelly after being bitten, the antibodies will destroy the virus (whereupon Mero and Centorea learn that there wouldn't have been a "zombie pandemic" as they had feared recently).

Ms Smith goes on to explain that Vampires in particular have a very low infection rate, so their numbers have been steadily decreasing and they are now actually on the verge of going extinct. However, Centorea then clarifies that even if Kimihito is not infected, the danger of having his blood sucked still remains and asks if there is nothing they can do to save him. Doppel says reassuringly that she already has checked the security footage from the show floor and that the suspect was in full view. As Doppel plays the video Ms Smith paused the recording and enlarges the picture showing Curie. Ms Smith explains that Curie is the only one who went into the private exchange program interview rooms but not come out and is therefore likely the Vampire. However, when Miia asks why Kimihito was in the room, Ms Smith, embarrassed by a convincing excuse, says he was likely looking for Papi.

However, as Ms Smith points out there is a problem: there are no surveillance cameras inside the interview area, so there is no recording of the crucial moment when Kimihito was attacked. Therefore, they cannot exactly know if Curie is the culprit and must first be sure if she is really a Vampire. When Miia asks how to do that, Ms Smith says that the girl was previously walking around with another Liminal person, whereupon Centorea asks meekly if the girl had an accomplice. However, Smith says that there "definitely" wasn't and that the person probably just met the girl by accident and ended up walking around with her (which confused Miia, how Ms Smith know this). Centorea asks if they couldn't just find and ask the person in question in this case, which Ms Smith confirms this before turning to Papi, who had just woken up, surprising everyone that she was the person in question.

When Miia hears this, she grabs Papi by the shoulders rather roughly and demands that the Harpy tell them everything she knows about the girl, whereupon Papi only stutters a few hesitant words. Centorea witholds Miia because she understands how Miia is feeling, but also realizes that such rough treatment will only make it harder for Papi to say something. When Papi still reacts hesitantly, Mero turns to the Harpy and gently asks her if she might be friends with the girl and therefore, in order to protect her, pretends she can't remember. Mero asks Papi to tell her about the girl, but when Papi just looks at her in confusion, Mero discovers, to her dismay and amazement, that Papi seriously can't remember anything.

At that moment, Ms Smith suddenly receives a phone call from Manako, who is monitoring the Inter-Species Cultural Exchange Exposition, and learns that Curie has reappeared on the event floor. However, when Ms Smith asks how they can find out whether Curie is actually a Vampire, the girls at first have no idea either, before they suddenly look at Papi.

When Papi is at the Exchange Exposition, she is soon noticed by Curie, who apologizes to Papi for suddenly running away last night. However, when Papi asks who she is, Curie tries to remind her of the events of the previous night, including that she misunderstood Curie's name as "coolie". Like the night before, Papi says that this name is strange, although Curie cannot say for sure whether Papi remembers her. Papi asks Curie to come with her, which Curie does, but hesitantly says that she is not that comfortable with bright places. While the two leave, Miia, Mero, Centorea, and Suu observe the situation in hiding, but fear that Papi will expose their plan and wonders whether this will really work out alright.

Key Events

 * Ms. Smith informs Kimihito's house guests of his abduction and reveals Curie as the most likely suspect. Not sure if Curie is a Vampire, however, they order Papi to find out because she had befriended Curie.
 * Vampires are threatened with extinction, are sensitive to sunlight and UV light, and allergic to garlic and silver.
 * Both the Zombie Virus and the Vampire Virus have a very low infection rate; in the case of the Zombie Virus, the infection only takes effect if the victim dies immediately after being bitten. If this is not the case, the antibodies destroy the Virus.
 * Papi takes Curie to two places she thinks Vampires don't like and thinks they like. To everyone's amazement, Curie is also sensitive to the things vampires like and eventually faints at the sight of blood.
 * Part of Curie's past and her deceased father Wladislaus is revealed.
 * Curie flees from the Exchange Exhibition.



Trivia

 * There is a notable difference between the magazine and the tankobon versions; in the magazine, the unnamed mosquito-girl was originally shown to have only two arms, which contradicted her later appearances which showed her having four. This was eventually corrected with the tankobon release, where the mosquito-girl is consistently depicted with four arms.
 * Okayado states that their first appearance in chapter 49 and chapter 50 were very incomplete, and as an apology, he asked fans to choose to be one of the 20 male background characters that appeared in the chapter (that's why they all had numbers). He added them in the final release of the volume, along with fixes on the girls: a more gyaru mosquito + two more arms; a more shiny leech + some sort of eye emojis on her face; more makeup for the lamprey girl.
