There's also a legend in the west that if you scatter seeds in front of a Vampire, they won't follow you until they have picked them all up and counted them.

What the... they must be really bored if they need to count beans whenever they see some.

Japanese holiday, the day ya throw beans to kick out the onis (Suika) and bring in the good luck. Though personally I don't see any good in kicking out poor Suika, especially when she always brings the drinks for everyone!

Aside from the whole vampire=blood-sucking oni translation, it was mentioned in Patchouli's "Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red" article that Remilia specifically couldn't touch the beans as they burned her.
