One day, Amano Akari, who lives with the vampire Sophie Twilight, is having a homework training camp with her childhood friend Natsuki Hinata. Then, a man who aspires to be a vampire hunter appears. He got information that there is a vampire in the area and came to exterminate it. However, even when he sees Sophie, he doesn't seem to realize that she is a vampire. She manages to get out of the situation and leaves the vampire hunter, but the man collapses from hunger. Sophie guides him to her house, serves him food, and suggests that he stay, since he has no place to stay. Although she almost finds out several times, she manages to avoid being found out as a vampire. However, the next morning, when she picks up a stuffed animal that the man dropped as he is leaving, it is exposed to the sun and her hand turns to ashes for a moment. The vampire hunter does not miss this. However, he learns that there are good people among vampires and leaves without fighting.

One night, vampire Sophie Twilight was taking a walk. She found a sunflower in the park and started counting the seeds. By the time she finished counting, it was already morning.

Just when she was in trouble, unable to go home and with nothing to do, Amano Akari, who lives with her, came to her rescue. It seems he came rushing to look for Sophie after not seeing her when he woke up in the morning. It's a great scene that shows Akari's kindness. But it doesn't end there.

The vampire Sophie Twilight was taking a walk after dark. Her next door neighbor, Mori-san, had a lot of food on her back, so she helped him carry it home. The reason she had so many ingredients was because her daughter and grandchild were coming over tomorrow and she wanted to cook for them. Learning from their conversation that cooking makes people happy, Sophie decides to cook for Amano Akari, who lives with her. After Akari leaves, she calls Akari's childhood friend Natsuki Hinata and they immediately start cooking. However, Sophie doesn't know what humans eat, so she gathers difficult ingredients, even nails and soil as ingredients. Because of this, she visits the supermarket again to shop and cook, but it doesn't go well. Sophie is depressed, but Hinata encourages her and she manages to finish cooking. Then Akari comes home and hands her the curry she made. She eats the curry and smiles, saying it's delicious! Sophie feels relieved. This is a great scene that gives us a glimpse of Sophie's wonderful personality as she cooks unknown dishes to her in order to see Akari happy.

Amano Light, wanting to enjoy the summer with the vampire Sophie Twilight, takes Sophie to the sea with his childhood friend Natsuki Hinata. However, because vampires cannot be exposed to sunlight, Sophie is hardly able to enjoy the sea. Seeing Sophie like that, she wonders if there are other ways to enjoy summer. So, inspired by an anime that Sophie was watching, Akari decides to go to the summer festival. She makes yukata for Sophie and Hinata and sets off to the festival with them. They have fun going from food stall to stall and scooping goldfish. At the end, the three of them watch the fireworks and enjoy the festival to the fullest. On the way home, Akari says, "I want to come and watch the fireworks together again next year, and the year after that, and forever after that," to which Sophie replies, "That would be great." It's a heartwarming and memorable scene.

When Amano Akari visited the home of her childhood friend, Natsuki Hinata, the conversation about her family began with a story about Hinata's younger brother. Akari begins to imagine what kind of family Sophie Twilight's family is, but Sophie tells her that she was originally human, but was the only one who became a vampire, so she is alone now. Sophie then says with a smile, "I've gotten used to being alone, but when I hear people's stories, it sounds like family is fun." Upon hearing this, Akari says that she will become Sophie's mother, sister, and even a cat! Seeing this, Sophie retorts, "What's with that weird excitement this whole time?" These are the words Akari said to Sophie afterwards. After saying this, she enthusiastically says, "I won't let you feel lonely!" It seems that Akari was concerned about Sophie from the story of her family. This is a great scene that shows Akari's kindness.

When the online store where vampire Sophie Twilight usually buys blood is temporarily closed. Sophie is in trouble because her fridge is out of stock and her friend and vampire Ellie is also out of blood. At this point, Akari asks Sophie to drink his blood, but she stubbornly refuses. However, seeing that Sophie seems depressed, she asks her to drink his blood once more. But Sophie still refuses. Akari becomes depressed, wondering if her blood really tastes that bad, but Sophie responds, "It's not that. I don't want to drink Akari's blood because he's my friend." She continues, "It would be dangerous if I got used to drinking the blood of someone I spend every day with." It's a great scene that shows how much she cares for Akari.

When Ellie, a friend and fellow vampire, came to visit Sophie Twilight, a vampire, Ellie mistakenly thought that Amano Akari was a servant or emergency food. That's because Ellie had been asleep for 100 years and still thought that humans' reactions to vampires were frightening. In Ellie's memory, when humans found out that someone was a vampire, they would usually come in groups to exterminate them. However, Sophie explained that in modern times, it was fine. Ellie still didn't seem convinced. "But you never know when they'll betray you. If you think of them as friends, you'll be hurt when that happens," she said, and tried to leave with Sophie. Light tried to stop Ellie. Ellie then said, "Why aren't you afraid? We are monsters with powers that are completely different from humans." Light then replied nonchalantly, "No matter what powers they had, I don't think Sophie or her friends would do anything terrible." Ellie seemed taken aback by Light. Ellie laughed at Light and said, "Maybe a weird kid like you could be friends with a vampire." This is a great scene that shows Ellie's kindness in not wanting to hurt Sophie, and Akari's honesty in trusting Sophie and Ellie.
Second place: Time shared between vampires and humans

Sophie Twilight, a vampire, and Amano Akari, who lives with Sophie, along with Ellie, another vampire, and Hinata Natsuki, Akari's childhood friend, went to an amusement park together. Since vampires cannot be exposed to sunlight, they visited the park at the time the sun was setting. They enjoyed various attractions and a parade, and it was almost time for the park to close. Sophie said, "You seem a bit sad. If we were humans, we could have come in the morning and enjoyed the whole day. Our time together is short," to which Akari replied, "What are you talking about! Even if it was short, I wanted to come with Sophie and everyone! So don't apologize." At the end, they all bought matching goods, and the four of them looked happy. This is a great scene that shows Akari's feelings of just wanting to have fun with Sophie and everyone, regardless of whether they are vampires or not.

When Amano Akari tells Sophie Twilight, a vampire who hasn't seen any cherry blossoms this year, that she saw cherry blossoms while out for a walk, she invites her to go cherry blossom viewing. Sophie makes lunch and invites Ellie, also a vampire, and Hinata Natsuki, a childhood friend of Akari, to a park where the cherry blossoms are lit up at night. Looking up at the cherry blossoms there, Sophie thinks to herself, "I always thought cherry blossoms were the same every year, but when I see them with someone like this, they look different." This is a great scene that shows how important Akari, Hinata, and Ellie are to Sophie, who has almost no friends or lovers.
