Vampire slayer

Hilda internally scowled as she continued to churn out her fake sob story. "This sadistic bitch. Is she just doing this to humiliate me? I've got a strict time limit, dammit! I shouldn't be wasting time here. Worse, Rika might realize who I am based on the meal I ordered. That bitch once saw me eating fish skewers with boba on em, and I just had to tell her what the dish was! Damn my past self."

As she was internally loathing, she noticed Serika and her friends entering. The two made eye contact and despite not seeing each other since nearly 16 years they recognized each other.

"T- That bald girl! S- She's the one from back then! I remember her face!" Serika thought as she began to freak out.

"That hair, it's a bit lighter than before, but those magenta highlights prove it, she's Mao Ookuma," Hilda thought as she instantly got up, and charged as fast as she could towards Serika.

Serika was unable to react to Hilda's speed in time, but before Hilda could inject immobilization serum into her, Hilda suddenly went flying outside and got implanted into the wall of the karaoke place across the street.

"You alright?" Rika asked Serika.

Serika trembled and nodded her head as Hilda pulled herself out of the wall and stared down Rika.

"The dish do me in?" Hilda sneered as Rika drew he knife and began approaching her.

"Yeah, I can't believe how lucky I was back then that I was able to catch you eating."

"I should've said it was salmon roe instead of boba."

"No use dwelling on the past, we're in the present," Rika glared as she charged at Hilda.

Hilda, however, began fleeing, prompting Rika to give chase.

"Can't let me live, huh? Well too bad, I know what Mao looks like now, so all I gotta do is- GEH!"

Hilda had forgotten she had broke her phone, meaning she couldn't call for backup or tell anyone else about Serika. "That Bombino bitch better back me up soon. I can't hold this bitch off, unless..."

Hilda smirked and immediately began running towards a nearby wax museum. The curator of the museum, Schnauz Wexley, fumed as Hilda and Rika barged in without paying and made their way to the back where the wax sculptures were made.

"You come here just to wax that bald head of yours?" Rika glared.

"Nah, I already waxed my head back at your place, and all in hopes ya wouldn't recognize me," Hilda sneered as she rubbed her bald head.

"Well it was a waste."

"Nah, bald's an S-tier combat style. No hair to grab!" Hilda shouted as she pulled out a brass knuckle and charged at Rika.

Rika effortlessly countered with a kick, sending Hilda pummeling into a vat of hot wax. However, Hilda climbed out and menacingly began humming as she trudged up towards Rika. But since Hilda was still covered in wax, the wax naturally began to harden, leaving her completely immobilized and vulnerable.

Rika hopped down, and with a few quick slashes, Hilda was sliced into pieces. "And that's the end," Rika huffed as she sheathed her knife and began walking away.

However, the fight was not over yet. Despite being sliced into pieces, Hilda began to reform as the wax encasing her shattered. While Hilda was a weak fighter, she had a big edge; she was a vampire.

"That really hurt, but now I've got her in my sights, but I don't wanna fight. I wanna escape, and save my ass," she thought as she turned to flee.

STAB!

Hilda coughed up blood as she felt a sharp, unbearable pain in her neck. She looked down, and noticed a silver dagger, drenched in her blood, protruding from her neck.

"You really think I forgot you were a vampire?" Rika snarled as she closed the distance and splashed a liquid on Hilda.

Hilda struggled to speak, and glared as she hacked up more blood, however, Rika then did something she didn't expect.

"Eat up," Rika snarled as she shoved a skewer of mackerel covered in boba into Hilda's mouth.

Hilda instinctively began eating while simultaneously trying to heal from the wound caused by the silver dagger, but silver was known to weaken vampires significantly, plus, the food tasted too good.

"Enjoy your last meal. You can pay for it with your life," Rika glared as she pulled out a lighter and set Hilda ablaze.

Turns out the liquid she had doused her in was highly flammable. Within seconds, Hilda was dead. Only a burned outline along with the silver dagger remained as everything else had been completely incinerated.

"Ugh, this stuff even melted the silver a bit. Well, guess you gotta turn up the heat if you wanna cook a vampire."

"AHEM! And just WHAT are you going to do about my museum!?" Wexley fumed.

"Uh, we didn't break anything."

"You murdered her too!"

"She was a vampire and I'm... A vampire slayer."

"100,000 yen admission per person!"

"Bullshit, the sign said 3,500-"

"200,000 yen admission per person!"

"Bastard's lucky I'm not the old me. Otherwise I'd have just killed him," Rika thought as she reached for her wallet.

...

Rika trudged back into the restaurant to find everyone staring at her.

"M- Miss Rika, I- Is she-"

"Don't worry Serika, she'll never hurt you again, nor did she tell anyone, so relax, you can live your life in peace," Rika happily stated.

A wave of relief overtook Serika as she calmed down and headed back up to the terrace. "I want double Takoyaki."

"You haven't ordered yet?"

"I couldn't eat cuz I was worrying about you! ...Thanks."

"No problem."

As Rika headed back to the kitchen, she noticed the red-haired woman eating her meal. Recognizing the woman, she stopped and headed over to the table. "And why were you with that bald girl?"

"Why the scowl? We just met a half-hour ago and I offered to treat her to a meal to liven her mood," Rize smirked.
