It's almost eleven thirty when Ren reaches the entrance to the path leading up to the highest hill in the Tama area.
Waiting for him there is Leon Thzraneel, wrapped in a long black cloak, wearing a plastic mask of a well-known comic book superhero.
"Seriously, Leon? This mask is even worse than the last one…"
"I know, but Axel insists I shouldn't let you see my face — he doesn't suspect you know the identity of the fantastic vampire behind this mask. Or at least, I hope not. On top of that, the cheapskates I work for don't reimburse disguises, so I have to make do on my own. And since there were discounts on Halloween masks, I took the chance to stock up."
"I'll say it — you really are the worst hitman in the world. Come on, take me to that bastard right now. I'll put an end to this once and for all."
Leon gives him a thumbs-up.
"Sure, that's what I'm here for. But I'm warning you, Red's a tough one. He's a vampire much more powerful than me!"
"You already told me."
