I Kill Monsters For A Living - Chapter 16 What If We

-Eighteen Years Ago-

“You’re a vampire?” Alice responded with a confused look.

“Yeah… I’m sorry to tell you…” Kevin then sighed and began to walk away.

“Wait… so you’re like… a real vampire!?”

Kevin then turned around and replied, “Yup…”

“That’s AWESOME!”

“Wait… you think that being a vampire is awesome?”

“HELL YEAH! Can you fly!?”

“Uhh… kinda?”

“Do you drink human blood?”

“We don’t really need to drink human blood, I usually just take a sip of goat blood once every month.”

“COOOOOL! What other stuff can you do?”

“Well… I can manipulate my blood into stuff…” Kevin then snapped his fingers creating a solid ball made of blood appear in his hands.

“Wait… WHAT! THAT’S SO COOL!”

Kevin then pat Alice on the head, “Haha, I’m glad you think so, I’m glad I met someone like you.”

-Present-

“Alright, can we go back to the hideout now? I’m kinda getting sick of this circus…” Ada whined.

“Dude we need to keep Owota safe from the other hunter…” Mike said while sitting down in one of the plastic chairs.

“What do you mean? I thought we already took out the hunter…”

“There were two hunters…”

“Oh yeah… I forgot… Welp, guess we’re staying here for a bit longer.”

Mike then turned to Owota, “Yo Owota, got any clues about the other hunter?”

_ “He has brown hair and blue eyes and always wears a suit of armor… he’s also tall and uses chains as his preferred weapon… but most of all, he’s an asshole.”

“Woah, you know a lot about this guy.”

_ “Of course I do, he killed my parents.”

“That’s why you ran off trying to find him right?”

_ “Yeah…”

“How do you even know it’s him?”

_ “I just have a feeling.”

“That’s stupid… you can’t just go do things like that, you’re a valuable team member.”

“Ooo, Mike is a tsundere!” Kim laughed.

“OI, IM NOT A TSUNDERE!” Mike yelled.

“I don’t know Mike, you seem a lot like a tsundere right now…” I said as I crossed my arms.

“GODDAMIT STOP SAYING THAT!” Mike then began shaking both of us.

“I’M SO BORED! I WANNA GET BACK TO FIGHTING MONSTERS ALREADY!” Ada whined while jumping on the bed. “Why can’t we just kill some vampires…”

_ “…”

“I’m not talking about you, I’m talking about the other vampires.’” Ada then lied down on the bed and began to punch the pillows.

_ “Vampires are just like you guys, they just were born with different abilities, why can we just refuse to kill vampires!?”

“Because King will kill us all if we do…” Mike said as he picked up the vampire radar.

“Pfft, I can take him on!” Ada then stood up on the bed and crossed her arms with a large smirk on her face.

“No, you cannot…”

“Pfft, what makes you say that!?”

“He’s stronger than you think Ada…”

“We got Sen tho…”

“Sen is like a loyal dog, she would never betray King, that’s why I didn’t bring her along with us.”

“Makes sense…”

Mike then put the radar into his pocket, “We gotta kill some vampires either way…”

_ “I’m not letting you do that…”

“King will kill us all Owota…”

_ “Vampires aren’t even evil, they just drink blood. The blood doesn’t even have to be human blood!”

“Yeah, but you still can’t deny that they’re dangerous…”

_ “So you’re just going to kill tons of innocent vampires?”

“Yes, I am… to protect tons of other innocent people…” Mike then proceeded to leave the circus tent.

_ “Wait…” Owota then grabbed Mike’s arm.

“What is it…” Mike replied.

_ “What if there was a way to save both the innocent vampires and innocent people… What if we…”

_ “Killed King.”

“ARE YOU FCKING CRAZY!?” Mike yelled as he pushed Owota away.

_ “Just think about it, we would save tons of lives.”

“I LOVE THAT PLAN!” Ada then jumped up in joy.

“How would we even get paid after that? Would we just become homeless?” I said as I tapped Owota on the back.

_ “We can make money by killing kaiju and selling their organs on the market, I know a guy who buys them for a high price.”

Mike then flicked Owotas head, “Stop thinking stupid ideas!” Mike then sat down on one of the plastic chairs, “You couldn’t even handle the vampire hunter on your own, what makes you think we can kill King…”

_ “We’ve got a trump card…”

“Do you mind telling us what our trump card is?”

Owota then pointed towards Kim sleeping on the plastic chair.

_ “Her, Invisigirl.”

“You mean intern girl?”

“Her name is Kim…” I sighed.

_ “She can turn us all invisible and we can strike him down when he’s not paying attention.”

“I don’t know… sounds risky.”

I then tapped Mike on the shoulder, “Hey, mind telling us how powerful King is?”

“Remember that time he said he would destroy the entire city if we didn’t kill all those vampires?”

“Yeah?”

“…”

“Oh… sht… HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KILL THIS GUY!?”

_ “We all attack him at once, it will be a quick and instant.”

“That’s easier said than done…”

Mike then laughed and stood up from the plastic chair, “You finally came up with a plan I like,” He then took a deep breath and put his hand on Owota’s shoulder, “Fck it, let’s do-”

-Clank-

Sounds of metal chains rustling around could be heard from outside the tent along with slow footsteps from metal boots.

“The hell was that sound?” Mike said as he began looking around the circus.

_ “…”

A man wearing a steel suit of armor with chains wrapped around his arms, he had blue eyes, brown hair and was fairly tall. He had a large smile on his face which was made worse due to his abnormally large mouth, “So you guys are planning to kill King huh?”

Owota immediately snapped his fingers in the sight of the man, thousands of thin red spears made of blood then suddenly appeared surrounding him. “DIE ASHOLE!”

“NOW THIS IS A WELCOMING!” The man in chains shouted.
