Vampires were immortal, and even if they were grievously injured, they still could be able to regenerate easily. Even if their hands, feet, head, body, etc., were cut off, they could regenerate very, very quickly. Still, if they were burnt without a trace or their soul was caught, or they were cut into million pieces, then they would die.
Haru's katana was just a normal katana, and he just stabbed Vatler's body several times. Even if Vatler's body seemed to be bloody, Vatler was alright.
Haru didn't kill Vatler, but it didn't mean that he was a good person. Rather, it was because he knew that Vatler might have a connection with the plot in the future, and rather than killing him, it was better to use him.
Therefore, it was better to leave Vatler alive for the time being. If Vatler really dared to provoke him again, then Haru would direct without hesitation.
Of course, on the surface, Haru spared Vatler and gave the two girls a face. After all, when he pierced Vatler's body with his katana, he didn't stab Vatler's heart, and when he was about to do it, he was quickly stopped by Himeragi and Sayaka, who appeared beside him.
In Himeragi's case, it didn't really matter where Vatler died, but Vatler couldn't die in the Itogami Island. Otherwise, it would lead to an all-out war.
Himeragi's task to monitor Haru was to determine whether he, as the fourth primogenitor, would harm the world in the future or not. If he was allowed to kill Vatler here, then she might not continue her mission, and she would become his enemy.
Himeragi didn't want to become Haru's enemy. She might not know the reason, but she didn't want to, so she had to stop Haru.
For Sayaka, it was her mission to protect Vatler. It was impossible to see Vatler die in front of her. Otherwise, she would suffer punishment.
"You should thank Himeragi."
Haru didn't hesitate to use this chance to gain favorability of the girls without hesitation.
Now with Vatler hurt in this battle, his identity as the fourth primogenitor has been confirmed, and no one is going to doubt his identity now.
In conclusion, Haru let Vatler off and didn't continue to kill him. After a while, Vatler's body, which was pierced by a sword on several parts of his chest, was completely recovered.
Haru had to admit that the vampire's recovery ability was very amazing at this moment.
"I'm very sorry. I apologize for my recklessness and thank you for your mercy on me."
The recovered Vatler immediately apologized to Haru. After all, he took the initiative to provoke Haru first. Even if he was killed, he should have no complaints. Now Haru could let him go, of course, he had to thank him.
"You shouldn't thank me. I didn't kill you because of Himragi,. But you should remember, Vatler, this is my place. No matter what you do here, don't touch my bottom line, or else, I will take your life."
Although Vatler made a sincere apology, Haru's face was still cold, and he didn't care about Vatler much, and in truth, he felt disgusted toward this guy.
Haru knew that this guy was planning something. After all, Natsuki was quite busy lately and came back quite late from time to time, so he knew that something had happened. But well, it would be good if something happened since it would be faster to dominate the Itogami Island.
"Yes, I understand."
Haru's words stunned Vatler for a moment, but he quickly. As for what Vatler was thinking, no one really knew.
"With that commotion, I'm sure all of your guests have run away." Haru didn't look at Vatler and could see that all the people on the banquet had run away.
The previous lively deck had become deserted at this moment. But it was normal, considering Haru and Vatler were fighting each other, summoning their Vassal Beasts.
Most of the people at the banquet were normal people. If they didn't want to die, then they needed to run away.
"It's my fault."
Vatler nodded again to admit his mistake. He had only been admitting his mistakes from the beginning to the end, even though he was the master of this banquet.
"Let's go, Himeragi."
Haru ignored Vatler's apology, said Himeragi, and left the place directly.
"Senpai, wait for me!"
Himeragi looked at Haru's back with a complicated expression, then turned her head to look at Sayaka, whose mood was very complicated, and apologized before she quickly chased after Haru.
"Yukina..."
Haru and Himeragi were gone, Sayaka wanted to stop them, but no words came out from her lips since she couldn't say it. It was her first time seeing the legendary fourth primogenitor, and she was shocked by his strength, but the most important thing was Himeragi's reaction.
When has she been so close to a man?
When Himeragi was seven years old, both of them had already known each other. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that both of them had grown up together, and Sayaka could confidently say that she knew everything about Himeragi, but today, she was at a loss.
Is this still Himeragi that she knows in her memory?
Himeragi blushed and was shy when she was hugged by a man, who also happened to be the object of monitoring.
Sayaka didn't want to admit it, but her Himeragi had fallen for Haru!
This definitely wasn't a good thing!
Sayaka felt a sense of crisis in her heart, which made her feel very troubled. 'Yukina is mine! I won't let you take her away!'
Sayaka's emotions were a mess at the time, completely unaware of her complex emotion, and there was also Vatler, who showed an excited and gloomy expression, wasn't far away from her, which made people feel creepy when they saw him.

"Sorry, Senpai, I didn't expect..." Himeragi apologized while lowering her head.
Haru caressed Himeragi's hair gently and said, "It's alright, Himeragi, you have done nothing wrong. Why did you apologize to me?"
After leaving the yacht, Himeragi quickly apologized after she caught up with Haru. Her flushed and nervous face made him want to bully her somehow, but he knew that it wasn't the time, and he changed back to his usual state, showing a gentle expression while caressing her smooth hair gently.
Himeragi's face flushed, but she was still troubled about what had happened earlier. "Senpai..."
"This is the end of the matter. I don't care what has happened at the banquet. Let's not think about this since it won't affect our relationship, alright?"
Himeragi wanted to say something more but was interrupted by Haru before she could speak.
Everything on the banquet just now was done deliberately by him, and it wasn't his true character, so naturally, he wouldn't get angry and didn't really want to cause Himeragi to feel troubled.
So without hesitation, Haru solved the anxiety on Himeragi's heart.
"I see. Thank you, Senpai."
After hearing Haru's words, Himeragi took a deep breath, and after thinking for a moment, her expression became bright. She knew that Haru was right, and since he didn't pursue this matter anymore, it was better to forget it since thinking more would only bring her trouble, and she was just happy that she could stay like this with him like always.
However, Himeragi suddenly remembered something!
"Ah! Not good!"
Although it was good that Haru stopped pursuing the matter at the banquet, Himeragi suddenly exclaimed as if she had forgotten something very important.
"What's wrong?" Haru wasn't sure why this girl suddenly exclaimed, so he quickly asked in concern.
"We forgot to ask, why did Duke Vatler come to the Itogami Island!"
This was the main purpose of coming to the banquet, but both of them forgot about it.
Vatler came openly to the Itogami Island, and certainly, his reason was not purely to see Haru. There was definitely something more important, and this time the reason why they came to the banquet was to understand Vatler's purpose!
But unfortunately, she was flustered just now, and Himeragi had already forgotten this matter.
"Oh, you don't need to worry."
Haru thought that there was something wrong, but it was just about this matter. As for Vatler's purpose, he didn't really understand, but when he thought about Vatler's personality, he was sure that this guy was coming to fight someone.
"Senpai..." Himeragi looked at Haru helplessly.
"It's alright. You don't need to look at me like that. Isn't that Kirisaka from the Lion King Organization, your friend? Since she's monitoring Vatler, can you just call her to find out?"
Haru's indifference caused Himeragi's expression to become very tangled, but hearing his solution, her eyes quickly brightened since Sayaka was monitoring Vatler right now, so obviously, Sayaka should know Vatler's purpose!
"Why didn't I think about this before?"
'Because you're stupidly cute.' Haru thought and didn't say it out loud.
With Haru's reminder, Himeragi quickly took out her phone and dialed Sayaka's number. The two whispered together, then Sayaka told her the purpose of Vatler coming to the Itogami Island.
But knowing the reason, Himeragi's face instantly became very ugly since she knew that a big problem was coming. Hanging on the phone, she let out a sigh until she heard Haru's voice.
"Did you get the answer?" Haru asked since he was wondering what kind of plot that would happen next.
