"I see... So, the ancestor has awakened," Akira mumbled, embarrassed, realizing that after putting on such a big show, it turned out that the Elders had been killed by The Fifth Primogenitor, who was the ancestor of the Hasegawa clan.
The Fifth Primogenitor, also known as the White Princess of the Primogenitors, is Arcueid Brunestud. Although she doesn't have as many relatives as the other Primogenitors and lacks a Beast Vassal, her strength cannot be underestimated. Even though a significant portion of her power was stolen, she would still have no problem fighting against other Primogenitors and winning, though she would suffer many injuries due to her lost power. At her peak, she was known as the Strongest Primogenitor, but that was before the creation of The Fourth Primogenitor.
Because she lacks a Beast Vassal, Arcueid Brunestud was not recognized as a Primogenitor, and even the title of The Fifth Primogenitor was not official—it was something given by those who inherited her blood. To them, it was impossible for Arcueid Brunestud to be weaker than the other Primogenitors, and this was indeed the truth.
"Yes, when the ancestor awakened, they visited us because this was the closest place where they could sense people carrying their blood. After learning what was happening, they killed all the Elders," Kobato said as she sat on Akira's lap, having missed her older brother for a long time. "I remember they headed to Tokyo to see you, as it seems you have the purest blood among the vampires of her lineage."
Kobato is a beautiful girl with blonde hair and a pair of sky-blue eyes. Despite her small stature, she was 15 years old, making her only a year younger than Akira.
"When did this happen?" Akira asked seriously, not expecting The Fifth Primogenitor to awaken at this time.
"Two days after Sera left the village," Kobato replied, placing her hand on her lips, which added a few more points to her cuteness.
'I hope the ancestor doesn't do anything foolish to Mashiro and the others since she wouldn't stand a chance against D,' Akira thought. Although he was confident that The Fifth Primogenitor wouldn't harm Mashiro and the others under D's protection, he was somewhat worried, especially since D couldn't use her full power as her subordinates would find her.
"So, what will you do now, Onii-chan? Will you return to the Hasegawa clan and inherit the position of clan head?" Kobato asked, not seeming bothered by the idea of giving up the position to her older brother; in fact, she was happy to do so.
"That's impossible," Akira didn't hesitate to refuse, as he wasn't interested in becoming the clan head. "My goal in coming here is to kill the old fossils, take you with me, and visit our parents' graves. I have no intention of becoming the clan head."
"I see..." Kobato nodded and got up from Akira's lap. "Then, shall we go together to visit Mom and Dad?"
"Certainly," Akira nodded and went with Kobato to visit their parents' graves. Although the graves didn't contain their bodies, as the death of vampires meant their complete disappearance from this world, Kobato always visited them and shared how she was doing.
The hill wasn't very high, and the two quickly reached the top, where two graves bearing the following names were erected: Hasegawa Hayato, Hasegawa Airi.
"Hello, Mom and Dad, look who's back," Kobato said softly as she sat next to the grave. "Onii-chan has returned, and he's much stronger than before."
"...," While Kobato talked to their parents, sharing various things, Akira silently stared at the graves. Although he loved his parents, his memories of them were now very hazy. He could only remember his mother's smiling face, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recall his father's face.
While Akira was staring at the graves in a daze, 15 minutes passed, and Kobato got up to leave.
"So, Onii-chan, make sure to tell Mom and Dad everything in your heart," Kobato said as she returned to the village, leaving enough space for her brother, as he must have had a lot to talk about with their parents.

The next day.
"So, we will leave now," Akira said as he looked at Kobato. "I won't force you to come with me since you want to stay here and lead the clan, but when things settle down, you must visit me, and don't hesitate to contact me if you need help."
"Mm, take care of yourself too, Onii-chan," Kobato didn't hesitate to hug her brother, as he was going back to Tokyo after spending a night in the village.
After hugging for a while, Akira and Kobato separated, and Akira left with Seraphim and the others.
"Saras, arrange the paperwork for my transfer to the same school as Onii-chan, as I will move to Tokyo after dealing with the clan's issues," Kobato said, her childish behavior vanishing in front of her brother, returning to her strict clan leader demeanor.
"It will be done immediately," Sarasvati said, bowing respectfully to Kobato, as she was also a student at Suimei University of the Arts under the alias Hoshikawa Kirara.
