Everything is on fire… Unbearable heat covers the hand. It would seem that the Flame devours the soul without a trace in order to ignite ...
- Everything is fine? Another nightmare?
Faded memories go into darkness...
- Yes, everything is fine, - I answer, opening my eyes.
She fell asleep on the couch again. She herself did not notice how, closing her eyes for a moment, she fell into a dream. Perhaps the lifestyle or the wrong place is affecting, causing dreams that repeat the same scenario.
- I am worrying about you. Rias, are you really okay?
Akeno, my faithful companion and friend, sat down next to me, taking my hand.
Yes, thanks for the concern.
- Well, well, you're on fire!
- I feel fine, - I reassured her, but my words had little effect on her.
It's not worth focusing too much on. I just need a rest... I don't think that someone like me can be crippled by a slight temperature.
She got up from the sofa and went to the table. It is necessary to deal with small things related to contracts.
- Akeno, please make some tea.
- It will be done, - nodding, she busied herself with the tea leaves. She has an incomparable tea, prepared according to the traditions of this country.
As I watched her, I fell into thought. The review of a man who is fond of role-playing games caught my eye ... This prompts me to some thoughts.
- Your tea, - losing track of time, I didn't notice how Akeno finished by offering me a cup of tea.
- Thank you, - I was distracted from the papers, without moving a single step. — Akeno?
- Yes?
Is everything calm in the city?
In hands with a drink, you can be distracted by warming your hands on a warm mug, I slowly sipped my tea.
- Actually, the familiars have noticed the increased activity of the fallen ones. They are clearly preparing for something after arriving in Kuo.
- Another problem, - sighing, she put down her mug and grabbed her head. - We don't really know their purpose, having a zone of interests here, preventing them, there is a possibility of a major conflict… In addition, my predecessor got along with representatives of the church.
- As long as they are under orders from Grigori, - Akeno also expressed her thoughts.
- Yes, provided that they carry out the instructions of the leaders, otherwise, if they only stumble, the wind will pick up weightless feathers.
Holding the mug, I warm my hands. Pleasant warmth.
- I will continue to follow them.
- Not enthusiastic, Akeno, I don't want too much attention. Let them understand that their actions have not gone unnoticed, but as long as they do not harm my activities, you can close your eyes to their personal dark deeds.
- Okay, I'll learn.
Meanwhile, morning was approaching and I managed to doze off again, this time at the table.
A hall full of ashes… A lot of fruitless attempts to fix everything. Light up...
However, everything is now available.
In the morning I was awakened again, after which I got ready for school.
It brings pleasure, to feel like an ordinary person, who is perceived by deeds, and not by the greatness of the house. Ordinary peaceful life of a person.
Is it possible to refuse such a thing?
Allows you to feel alive.
I attend all the classes, and then the club activities begin. A long time ago I placed everything I needed in the old school building, including a shower room, a resting place and a change of clothes.
I came up with the idea of creating a weapon. Just a small precaution in case of conflict with the fallen, if the outcasts are spinning with them.
As usual, after class ended, all the members of the club appeared, including Kiba Yuuto, the owner of the Sacred Gear created by God himself.
I don't even remember what prompted me to give him such a name ... Perhaps the circumstances under which he was found also played a role.
- I need your help, Yuuto.
When the guy came up, I explained my idea to him. I was able to sketch what I want and show.
- Such a weapon does not suit my style, - he commented. — What is it for?
- You don't need to use it, - answer. - A two-handed sword only has a wide attack area. Can you create something like this? By making it fiery, like fire from the depths of Hell?
- I'll try, - he nodded.
I have my own reasons for using it. Let it become a small trump card in the battle with the enemy.
On that we decided.
Yuuto must create the blade by putting as much power into it as possible to be able to manifest a small miracle.
Alas, today Yuto is busy, he has contracts with people, Akeno is rarely called up, but it also happens. I am rarely called, usually I replace someone if two calls come in at the same time.
However, now Akeno kept me company.
- Interesting idea, but…Rias, what are the weapons for?
- If I have to face a retinue of the Fallen indoors, my power of destruction will only hurt… Plus, it will keep them at a distance. Koneko has enough strength to wield them.
- Well, well… - she shook her head. - Do you think there will be an aggravation?
- We need to prepare for the worst and wait for the worst of bad options.
And you should also learn how to perform rolls, they are quite capable of helping in a difficult situation, if you know ... If you know how to use it.
