To Be a Power in the Shadows!

Hearing guns, guns, guns, and banging something, Beta raised her gaze from the book she was reading.

Looking inside a wide library, part of the wall was vibrating with the sound.

Someone's banging on the wall from the outside?

The moment I thought so, the wall suddenly collapsed and dust and two women fell from it.

"Yes!?

"Ugh."

A brunette girl punched her in the face with a bechat on the floor and a red-haired woman was on top of it.

"There you go. That was a nice wall."

Beta looked familiar in the face of the brunette girl holding her nose and raising her head. She is Claire Cagneau, the Lord's sister of Beta.

"So I said be a little more careful..."

A beautiful woman with red hair says with no expression.

"You wouldn't be able to make it if you were takin 'it. Hey, Miriam, it's time for you to step aside?

"Oh, sorry, Claire."

A red-haired woman moves away from Claire, and the two stand up and pay each other's clothes dirt.

By the way, where am I?

"It's supposed to be underground in the 'Red Tower'..."

"This is the underground library of the Red Tower."

It was Beta who answered the two questions.

That's when they finally noticed her sitting in a chair.

"... I think I found out quickly"

"So I said be careful..."

"I'm sorry. But either way, he found out."

The two pull out their swords at the same time and confront Beta, who sits in a library chair.

Beta sighed and closed the book.

"No way... I didn't expect people to come out of the wall. Witnesses have to be destroyed..."

Beta whines when she sees Chirali and Claire.

"I don't know if I can end this for a second. Keep your hands off me, too."

And Beta snuck out instructions. But as far as I can tell, there are only these three here.

"I don't have the will to fight this way. Will you lay down your sword, Mr. Claire?"

"... ugh! You know me?

"Claire Cagheno, winner of the Martial Arts Festival."

"You've made me quite famous, too. Fine, tell me who you are and what your purpose is. If you know you're not the enemy, I'll pull this one off."

"Hey, Claire."

"You don't have time to be fighting extra. I don't even look like a part of The Blood Queen, and... it's a pretty difficult opponent."

Claire said, sharpening her gaze.

It was a beta sitting casually, but there was an air there that couldn't be slashed in easily.

Sounds like it.

Beta, dressed in a black bodysuit and masked to hide her face, certainly doesn't look like an associate of The Blood Queen. Which is the same intruder as Claire.

"Who I am and what I want... Yeah, the same side that broke into the Red Tower as you did."

"More details"

"A little longer, though."

"Be detailed and concise."

"Oh, that's a tough one."

Beta flaunted her shoulders.

"I'm Beta from Shadow Garden. I'm interrupting the Red Tower for a moment."

"Heh. Why is the rumored shadow garden here?

"Well... how far shall we go? There's something I can't tell you, too. Well... we're doing a demon possession study for a reason, but we need a sample of the blood of our original ancestors."

"Devil possessed......!?

"Why do we need the blood of our ancestors..."

Claire reacted to the demonic possession and Miriam reacted to the blood of her original ancestors.

"The demon-possessed blood and the blood of the original ancestors are the same, and the symptoms may have mutated in the process of blood being passed down. That's the kind of hypothesis that came out of the research."

"That's blasphemy against the original ancestors..."

Miriam's eyes become tougher, and her powers enter the sword she has erected.

"It's just a hypothesis. I don't want to blaspheme our ancestors. I just need a sample of my ancestors' blood to verify it. One question, why would you be angry?" The Oldest Vampire Hunter. "

"- Huh!? You know me..."

"I hear rumors."

"Yes... if you don't get in the way, you can do whatever you want"

"I'll let you do that."

Miriam lay down her sword with Beta staring at her, and Beta opened the book of readings with her shoulders staring at her.

"That's the library of vampires who live a long time. Precious material. So, did Mr. Claire convince you?

Beta asks as she reads the book.

Claire looked alternately at Miriam and Beta as if to think of something.

"Just tell me one thing"

Claire stared straight at Beta with a serious face.

"If you can answer that."

Beta felt the gaze and raised her face.

"Is there a way to cure demonic possession?

Beta didn't answer right away.

I stared at Claire's face and was thinking of something for a while.

"That's... I can't answer that. I'm just saying that Mr. Claire doesn't have to worry."

"What does that mean?"

"It means as it is."

Beta just scrolled through the pages of the book saying she had nothing more to talk about.

Claire pounds her tongue small and returns her heel.

"Let's go"

But Beta stopped the two of us trying to leave the library.

"Wait. Mr. Claire, may I ask why you came to The Red Tower in conjunction with The Oldest Vampire Hunter?"

"Listen, what are you gonna do?"

"I was just wondering"

Claire says frowning.

"My brother Sid was captured by The Blood Queen. If we don't hurry, they'll sacrifice" The Blood Queen. "

"Your brother...?

Beta tilted her neck.

"Is that true!?

And a fourth voice echoed in the library where there should only be three.

When I looked at the voice, one woman stood there at some point. She is also dressed in a black bodysuit, her face hidden in a mask.

"666, refrain."

"But heh... sorry..."

The 666 falls back on its knees as if to dampen emotions that are likely to rush forward now.

"Enough? I'm coming."

Claire put her hand on the door of the library.

"Just one last thing. To her... there is no way to go for resting place again...?

"What do you mean?

Claire looks back.

But Beta hadn't seen Claire. Beta stood still, staring only at Miriam.

"Oh, hey."

Miriam turned away, opened the door without saying anything and left the library. Claire rushes after him, too.

Only the sound of rolling a book around for a while echoes in the quieter library.

"666, you're out of control..."

Reading the book, Beta says.

"Sorry......"

666 bowed his head.

"Lambda also acknowledged your strength. Master Alpha expects you, too. This is a reduction. Follow you guys properly."

"I'm sorry"

"I'm sorry."

Two girls appeared next to 666.

"666 is your first drill in action. 664, you're in charge of the Squad Leader."

"Yes......"

"Be careful in the future. To make sure, our mission is to recover samples of the blood of the original ancestors at the request of the lab. It's just that you said Master Shadow would clean up The Blood Queen, so we can't just move on our own. Therefore, until Master Shadow arrives, material research in the library and the collection of important documents. Yes, get back to work."

"Yes."

The three instructed resume work immediately.

666 looked back and looked at the beta only once. In her memory there was a writer very similar to Beta.
