SC: The fourth person present in the church

I was standing on the church roof looking at everything that was going on inside from a small opening and luckily that everyone inside was so engaged in the fight that no one, fortunately, noticed me.

I saw Shiba Kazuki falling down on the ground as Tsubaki Ai was thrown against the wall yet again and was not moving. Her vitals were damaged a lot but she was not dead yet. She could still survive if she gets the blood and looks like Kazuki noticed it.

I was there to make sure that both of them don't die engaging in this battle since that is my job. Though, unlike a normal job, I genuinely want to make sure that they are safe. I already had my weapon in my hand to charge in if the situation went out of hand but right now, nothing really serious has happened. If I were to intertwine now, they won't be able to fight the dangers they will face in the future so I decided to stay up here.

The trip to the hill was interesting because I did not see anything on the here even though I have confirmed that there were more than fifty vampires here. I seriously hoped to have a little warm-up but I was really disappointed not seeing anything there. Looks like Tsubaki Ai had handled the situation really well which was commendable. This was the potential a half-vampire showed.

Crack

This sound resonated in the church and I saw Shiba Kazuki holding the noble's leg and it was crushed under his grip strength. Interesting, this is not something he was able to do before. Is this the blood of the first reacting to the situation?

He got thrown across the church by the noble and I tightened my grip hard on the handle of my weapon holding myself back from going in to aid him. This is not how he will get better, he has to take care of this on his own. I am really telling myself something really stupid to hold myself back.

He got stabbed in the stomach by the noble and his scream was echoed in the building. I bit my tongue and decided to make my move but then I saw his eyes looking somewhere. This kid has a plan in his mind, doesn't he?

He got stabbed again and got thrown right next to Tsubaki Ai and my eyes widened.

He really is Kazuto and Masumi's kid.

He made Tsubaki Ai drink his blood who then proceeded to go and kill the noble and I saw her ability which honestly surprised me. Looks like things like fate and destiny really exist in this world. If not, then this is the biggest coincidence in the history of coincidences.

The noble died but Tsubaki Ai started beating Shiba Kazuki up and he just let her waiting for her to slow down and when she did, he took care of the situation really easily.

Masumi was a really intelligent person but she was an airhead and Kazuto was stupid but his brain works faster than anyone in a life-death situation. I was honestly worried when they said that they would have a child. I thought that the child would come out to be an airhead who is stupid but looks like the opposite happened with some unwanted tweaks.

Watching them hug each other, I smiled a little and got off the roof without making a noise. Looks like at the end of the day, my help was not needed. It has been like this for very long, even though I am sent on many missions during the other time, I would carry out a mission I was handed by two old friends of mine.

Shiba Kazuto was my former partner and was very talented as a vampire hunter and his wife was a really good friend of mine. They knew about Shiba Kazuki's blood and the prophecy so they tried to destroy any memories of vampires from his brain when he was little. They wanted him to live a normal life out of this matter for as long as possible.

That was the mission I was given by them: look over Shiba Kazuki and make sure he enjoys his normal life as much as possible.

Heading out, I found a figure leaning next to a tree wearing a jet black outfit and was staring at his phone fiddling on it. He had brown hair and brown eyes. Even though he looks like a delinquent, he is pretty opposite from how he looks.

Seeing me, he put the phone back and stopped leaning against the tree.

"I assume you have confirmed their safety?" he asked me and I nodded. "But seriously, just tell them already about this."

"I am planning to but waiting for some more time. Even though Kazuki has gotten involved in this, I don't really want to bother him with the issues of the organization," I said and continued walking and the man followed me. "I really hate those people. What was the order I was given often? Execute Shiba Kazuki. No blood of the first, no heist for it. They are really despicable bunch of assholes."

"But it was more like a request right? I mean, no one would like to go against the maiden of death herself now. I know I won't," he said walking next to me.

"Iwaguchi, you have been saying that from the time you became my partner and it has been years now. It is really weird hearing that name every now and then," I said rubbing my head.

The maiden of death, the strongest vampire hunter in the history of humanity was a force to reckon with. With the track record of not failing a mission even once and killing ten nobles all at once with her partner, she and her partner were really feared by vampires and respected by other hunters but then, the partner died. Leaving me all alone and I just got another partner.

Honestly, it really made my blood boil when I got the message of the assignment of a new partner an hour later Kazuto's death. They don't care about us and just order us around. The only thing that is stopping me from massacring those bastards is the mission I was given. Kazuki was the only reason I am not being a mass murderer now.

"So, did you find out the ability of the half-vampire? Honestly, I am surprised how she is not asked to be killed already. I mean, didn't she just drink the blood of fifteen people today?" Iwaguchi said as we reached the foot of the hill.

"She drank all their blood, yes, but the people are not dead. Not one of them," I said making Iwaguchi surprised.

"Wait, what do you mean?"

"The victims are in the hospital in the state of coma but that is on paper," I said and looked at Iwaguchi. "Their body is made to not function so that they can refill the lost blood in their body. They will just be in a deep sleep for about a week."

"That is possible? I mean, there was only one vampire who was able to do that and sh-"

"Tsubaki Ai's ability is the Queen's eye," I said and Iwaguchi stopped in his tracks.

He looked at me with a deadpanned look and his face was saying, "Are you kidding me?"

"Looks like fate and destiny really exist in this world. Even though God doesn't," I said and continued walking.

"How can she even use the ability of the lord of the night?"

"Isn't it better? She can protect Kazuki better with that ability," I said and continued walking.

The Queen's eye. An ability only the lord of the death could use. There had never been any real anecdotes of the ability but there were many claims that it was real. I did not believe it until I saw it today.

The ability to make your prey do whatever you want. Where you have the authority like a queen. The stars aligned the perfect way when both Kazuki and Tsubaki Ai came together.

"You really care about those two, don't you? Especially Shiba Kazuki as if he is your own son," Iwaguchi said teasingly.

"No, he is not like my son. I can never take place of his parents," I said in a sad tone but then a small smile formed on my face remembering Kazuki's words. "I am his elder sister."

"Whatever you say the maiden of death," Iwaguchi said shrugging him off and I glared at him making him stiffen up. "I meant Kawazuki Natsumi-san."

"Good, now let's go back."
