Murciélago

The Perfumer and her minions reach the Yamatsukami family mountain, home to—among other things—the clue behind “Tozakura.” Hinako and Ayako split up from Kuroko and the group in pursuit of the criminals, but they can’t hide from the Perfumer, who easily spots the pair with her abilities. To secure an escape route for Hinako, Ayako decides to face them on her own, but she’s soon cornered and poisoned by the Perfumer. All seems lost—until Kuroko and the others arrive, and the real fight begins…

Celine, the Perfumer, has finally found Tozakura, the girl she seeks, but when Tozakura’s body begins to crumble, Celine is quick to preserve the source of the girl’s power…by ripping her heart out and consuming it! Coughing up blood, she begins to transform into something she no longer recognizes. Now, with her power amplified, she sets her sights on Hinako, who she calls “the antibody.” How does Hinako fit into this mysterious creature’s plans, and can she manage to make it out alive?

Following the Perfumer incident, Hinako and her friends switch things up by taking some time off. But their plans of relaxation are derailed when they run into Mimimi, who is searching for a missing girl who looks eerily similar to the subject of an artist’s painting... As they begin their investigation, they learn of a rumor that one of the artist’s models from long ago has disappeared…What punishment awaits those who have succumbed to depravity in the pursuit of their art?

But while the world is engrossed, there are attempts to hack into the system to win the prize money and expose HiToMi’s technology. Only, these would-be hackers are getting cut down one by one...
