35.71% A Cursed Child's Dilemma / Chapter 40: Mission Accomplished

บท 40: Mission Accomplished

The next day, it was yet another assassination, this time a woman. I would've thought that we'd be following the same plan like before, but since she doesn't frequent bars as often, it was going to be quite a forceful mission. Because of this, Charlotte said that she'd handle this herself, telling me to watch and try and learn from her.

I honestly didn't really understand why I had to stay back, but the moment we arrived at a park, where she was expected to be, the woman must've sensed us as she was immediately aggressive, discharging water-like magic from her body as they all try to reach for Charlotte, disregarding the innocent people around her.

Charlotte however, managed to dodge most of her attacks while simultaneously closing the gap. Any attacks that would prove to be difficult to dodge, she would quickly cut into her palm with her nail, using her blood to cut through the water magic. I felt my chest tighten up upon seeing Charlotte bleeding once more, knowing that it'll take a while for her wound to heal again. I told her that I could do that for her, but she was adamant about not doing that with me.

Regardless how I feel, the moment Charlotte got close enough, they switch to hand to hand combat, but it was clear who was superior, as in a matter of seconds, the woman was sprawled onto the ground. The woman's movement were far sloppier in comparison to Charlotte's, they didn't stand a chance.

"W-wait, please-!" The woman cries out, but in the next moment, Charlotte, cleaves her head off using her blood which had turned into a sharp blade before returning back to her hand. The other people who were still around in the park immediately ran away at the scene as Charlotte slowly returned to the car.

"We're finally done~" Once she enters the car, she stretched her arms out, letting out a sharp moan before relaxing in her seat. "Hahh~"

"Does that mean we go back to Lisa's?"

"We have to spend one more night in the apartment so I can meet that woman tomorrow morning. Hopefully tomorrow we can go back."

The woman in the suit. She does visit us every morning, but she only stays for less than five minutes, mainly to just check up on Charlotte and to see the progress. This would be the final mission for us, so hopefully we can go back, but I question as to why we have to stay at the apartment anyways. Can't we just do all of this at Lisa's? Is it maybe because her house is too far away? Or maybe it's something else...

"Shiro?" Charlotte must've sensed something as she begins questioning me.

"Why do we need to be at the apartment for these jobs?"

"Ah, well it's for them to keep watch over us. There's most likely hidden cameras and mics placed in our apartment."

"So if we leave, the man in glasses will come after us?"

"Exactly."

I wonder though... The man in glasses beat Charlotte, right? If he's so powerful, why would he need Charlotte? Couldn't he do all of this himself?

"Why can't he just do all of this instead?"

"I wouldn't know. I can't read what he'll do. All I know is that he's overly curious about you."

"About me?" Charlotte seems a lot more capable than me, so why would he want me?

"You two are both hybrids, so I'm not too surprised, especially considering your powers." That's right... If I remember correctly, there's only twelve hybrids, including me? I'm not too sure how many people there are in both worlds, but just from the places I've seen with Charlotte, from the bustling city here, to the smaller town in the other world when we went chopping for my clothes, I feel like twelve is quite a low number...

"But can't he just find a different hybrid?"

"Well, you're the only other hybrid we know in this country, and all the other hybrids are all powerful figures. So I guess you were the easiest target..." Her words fall a bit quiet towards the end as her face takes on a more serious tone before suddenly switching to a more cherry tone, with a bright smile now on her face. "But I won't let him have you, hehe."

"But, you lost..."

"Hahhh~ I know. But I am an Ilaria, I need to prove my worth. So I'll keep working hard until I break that smug look off his face." Ilaria... I guess that's quite an important name then if she says it like that. Could it be she wants to impress her mother?

"But for now, let's enjoy our little break, okay?"

"Mm!"

And so, we drive back to the apartment, and the moment we arrive, Charlotte goes straight to the fridge before drinking two blood bags this time. Usually she stops with just one, so I was a bit curious as to why she had two this time.

"Two?"

"Y-yeah... I just had a stronger craving than usual after dealing with that woman."

"Because of the blood?"

"Yeah. The sight of blood is one thing, but the smell really is hard to control when there's a lot of it." The way she says that, it makes it sound like a pain to be a vampire.

"Hard to control?"

"Mhmm... Most vampires end up on a watch list because of it. Also it's almost impossible for a vampire to be a surgeon or any job that works with blood."

Interesting... I didn't really know about this 'craving' that vampires have, including Charlotte. I'm glad to know that I don't need to worry about that, if anything I'm more afraid of the sight of blood rather than the smell. Although as I think that, I look over to Charlotte's now wounded hand as I end up smelling her blood. It honestly smells a bit sweet...
