And so, You go inside the mansion and decided to make your way to the Library.

"Hmm..I didn't quite expect you would be here. I wonder what you want this time." You met up with the lazy maid Kyui Kuroyami, guess she hasn't changed.

"I was helping the detective about the murder of your mistress: Shelia Akashiya." You responded.

"I see. Well, Maybe I could help you with that. I was going to tell you about this yet you came first so--follow me."

Kyui leads you an entrance downstairs as you keep tailing her, noticing this must be the basement.

There was a shiny thing you saw but when you looked closer, It's a unique, pristine knife.

"Why is this has to do with a knife?" You questioned out of the blue.

"It's not just any knife. I know that Miss Scarlia told you everything. This knife is a knife for killing vampires. That wasn't supposed to be here but rather sealed at the library. That's why I noticed that something is wrong here. But, I guess that's not my problem, it's yours." Kyui lazily explained.

"Is it just me or you are not lazy anymore?" You questioned her again.

"Well, I'm always bored and lazy and nothing seems to interest me. But this--murder case you say, it kinda killed my boredom. Besides, Living normally is boredom anyway." Kyui sighed and looks down.

"This knife could be a murder weapon so--use it as your evidence. I actually can't touch it because it burns my pale skin. I'm a vampire, after all." Kyui added.

"Alright then." You used the item that the detective gave you earlier and put it inside.

Walking upstairs and puts the evidence bag with the knife on some box and left it there.

Out of nowhere, Detective Cecilia grabs your hand and leads you somewhere.

"Gather anything?"

"Yeah, pretty much. Just a girl who has a tragic life."

"Now that's some story. Anything else?"

"Well--"

"We'll talk about that later but for now, I have to show you something."

You and Cecilia walks back to the crime scene with yellow lines saying "DANGER". The body has vanished but how?

"Shelia Akashiya's body...is gone." You state.

"No way! How could that possibly happen? I swear it was here..." You stare at the authority figure. "Uh..what are you looking at?" You continue doing it.

"No..No..! I do not hid the body. Why would I? I am the detective. Do you think I have any reason to hide the body ? None!" The detective rants. You notice they've been so in denial that you might be right.

Kyui walks back to the living room.

"Huh..? Is Mistress Death invisible or is her corpse disappeared?" Kyui said with the same lazy demeanor but she does seem to care a little.

"The body's moved." You answer.

"On it's own?"

"No, of course not. But it might be moved by someone. And that's what we are going to find out." said the detective.

The chef joins the gathering on the room.

"Hmm..Something is not right..Miss Death's body is not here. Did someone stole it?" Shinya said with a sarcasm in a shy tone.

"The body's moved." You repeat.

"On it's own?" Even for a vampire, she just can't get up.
Silver is their weakness.

"All I know it's indeed gone. Now, All the best we could do is stay at this mansion until this murder case has been solved. It's best to alert the others. The killer could be nearby and it could be anyone in this mansion." Cecilia said in a very serious tone.

The day in this mansion gets weirder and weirder, doesn't it? Monsters living in society and a "psychotic" day.
Is everything an illusion at the very beginning?
What could be next?
