(The flames get bigger while the moths all shiver,
They're subsidizing evil with no budget for a sequel.

The Prozac's gift wrapped with a smile
The cash grab never goes out of style.

Your flashbacks givin' you a panic attack
When your eyes go pitch black

We become the night
Where hope survives..)

Conferences, congresses, meetings... In short, boring things that people are forced to attend early in the morning. However, things were going differently in Momoyama.

As he walked up the hill, Shou wondered to himself whether early morning or the middle of the night was the worse time to pack up.

The crescent moon was the only source of light illuminating the dark hill. The dense forest full of cemeteries below was covered in fog, but it did not reach the high hill.

He was just about to hear the sounds of conversation and be happy that he had reached the meeting point, when he hit something hard, someone.

"I'm sorry! I couldn't see you in the dark."

He looked up at the person he had bumped into. He examined her face shining in the moonlight. He had a face that was pale but green and full of purple bruises.

"Oh, look! Isn't this the human mentioned?"

"Y-yes it's me."

"It's been a long time since I've eaten a human brain." He extended his hands straight out towards Shou. The darkness of the night and the bright light from the moon made the face that had already made Shou uneasy even more scary.

"Leave him alone, Suguro." This familiar voice belonged to Ryuuji. He reached one arm between them and pulled them apart.

"What is it, Furuya? Since when have you been taking on babysitting duties?"

"Nobody's looking after you." This time it was Ouzou who spoke.

"I was just kidding." Suguro rolls his eyes. "What are you doing here anyway, weren't you kicked off your team?"

"We'll see you later, Suguro." Kota cut to the chase and they continued walking towards the meeting area, taking Shou with them.

"You have to be careful, Shou. Especially at night." Ryuuji warned him once again. They were going to the congress where countless monster teams gathered at midnight. What did he expect?

When they finally reached the open area, they made their way through the crowded groups and met up with the rest of the team.

Of course, Shou had been to meetings before, but this was his first time attending such a large crowd.

The opening speech of the tournament would be made and the teams that would meet in the first round would be determined by drawing lots. That's why every team that participated was here with all their players.

While they waited, everyone was chatting with each other. He tried to distinguish the races he saw. Werewolves, vampires, demons, sirens and ghosts; The zombies he had just encountered... No matter how many races he listed, the square was overflowing with many other species he didn't know about.

The first thing that caught his attention was the all-girls team standing close to them. Long dresses in dark tones; Some had cloaks, some had animal-embroidered staffs that resembled walking sticks.

"Who are they?" Shou asked, pointing to that team standing at a point in front of them.

"Witch team." Erika answered. "They came third last year."
