【Character Introduction】

Alfred

An exchange student attending the Royal Academy. A genius alchemist. Blond-haired and bespectacled. Overconfident and a ladies' man. However, at heart, he is serious, possesses an exceptionally strong sense of curiosity and inquiry, and has the temperament of a craftsman who thoroughly pursues anything he sets his mind to. Born into a military family and trained from a young age, his shooting skills are top-notch.

Shin

The strongest vampire. The ruler of the mysterious city of Luvilia. Black hair and black eyes; his eyes glow red when he reveals his true form.

A chocolate lover. He appears to be a gentle man, but he is black-hearted, or rather, truly evil. He considers humans as adorable as dogs and cats, and especially loves Alfred to the point of wanting to torment him. He possesses a twisted affection.

His goal is the pursuit of "pleasure" through chocolate.
