Chapter 1
"It's so nice to go on a date, darling." a woman with black hair hugged the hand of the man who was on her right, "We didn't go out together for a long time." the woman chuckled covering her neck with her scarf.
"Finally it's a day off. I also wanted to go out somewhere." the man whose arm was coiled with soft female hands replied.
The woman had a coat and pants, like the man did. Both of them were walking by the evening Tokyo enjoying it view.
"Well, let's go to that café." The woman pointed at the place which was in front of them, "I've heard it was opened recently."
"Why not." the smiled to his woman, and turned to the needed place.
They entered the restarunt and then waited for the waiter, who came immediately. They ordered their food, and started to eat.
"How is your food, Dear?" he asked the woman.
"Amazing." she was glad of eating, "It was so long I wanted to eat Italian food. This spaghetti is so delicious."
"I think it's a good thing to come to this place more often." the man nodded in agreement, "What about dessert?"
"Sure, I don't mind to have something sweet." the woman said after doing another bit of her meatball, "I think to order some ice cream."
"Ice cream in such weather?" the man was slightly surprised, "You're really ice liker."
They finished with their main course and went to the dessert with coffee. The man and the woman enjoyed talking to each other, and when they paid for their food, they continued their way.
"Is it became cooler?" the woman asked the man, "Or it's the ice cream I ate?"
"No doubt it's the ice cream inside of you." the man laughed, " I feel the same what I've felt."
"I see." the woman smiled, 'Probably it's my imagination?' she looked around.
"What is it?" the man asked her with puzzled expression.
"No, nothing." she shook with her head, 'I definitely have heard something.' the woman frowned, 'What could it be?'
The man turned to a small alley it was empty.
"I think that shop was on the other road." the man said, "How about to buy some things for you?"
"Well, I don't mind at all." she replied with a smile, but then turned around and noticed something not far from them, 'What the hell is that?' she saw a strange silhouette.
"What is it?" the man asked the woman with a worried voice.
"Look out!" she pushed him aside and dodged the strike of the strange thing, 'Damn, it's too dark here I don't understand what it is.' But then she dodged again, 'Is it flying?' she saw the silhouette returning to her fast.
"Dear what the hell is going on?" the man was worried.
"Get out of here fast!" the woman ordered to the man exposing her daggers.
"Daggers?" the man was a little scared of seeing that something gleamed in her hands
The woman wanted to hit the thing, but it overflew her.
'Damn it's really fast.' she spitted, "I'll explain everything later, go!" she ordered him the man didn't wait long and listened to the woman, "Damn thing spoiled my date with darling."
She dodged the lunge, and the prepared to attack, but the object fly away, and then something hit her at her stomach. Though she fell onto the ground, she could quickly gain her powers and get up.
'Damn, didn't know I'll attack so unexpectedly.' she thought examining the surroundings.
Suddenly she flinched, she suddenly let fly her weapons out of her hand and fell onto her knees shutting her ears.
"That noise!" she exclaimed, "My ears are going to burst!" she shouted as she tried to protect herself form a strange noise.
Then something hit her at her stomach again and then at chest.
"Damn!" she only exclaimed falling onto the ground, she tried to get up as the noise stopped and then continued back, "Just turn it the hell of!" then she felt how something was inserted into her back, "What?!" she was puzzled of that, she wanted to get up, but couldn't as if her body was heave, "I… I can't move? Poison?" then she felt how something grabbed her and flew, holding her on its way, 'What the hell is going on?' she only thought as she was dragging above the buildings.
The new day came quickly for Taimanin of Gosha Village. Asagi gathered a quick meeting of teachers and students. Everyone was excited and puzzled of such unexpected reason. However everyone was amazed when they saw Mizuki Shiranui herself. Asagi told what happened to Shiranui and then let her speak too.
Shiranui agreed with Asagi's words, and then told that her functions will be helping to Asagi and other students. The student were told to go to her if they have questions as the queue to Asagi was really long, Shiranui gladly offered her help to all.
Then Asagi thanked those who were after the idea to save Shiranui, she thanked Yukikaze and Tatsurou for taking the main role in that event, and Chikeko along with Oleg and Pavel who also helped them to go on this journey. Asagi explained that with the help of 'Red Division' it wouldn't be possible and Shiranui could become a demon. She heard how everyone started to discuss that so she asked for attention, and the students became calm. However, the end Asagi also told that she would like to know about such ventures in future and they all must be discussed with her.
The meeting was over and the principle told the students to go to their lessons.
"Man, didn't know Russian guys will do something like that." someone told in the crowd.
"Yeah, that means they're really to help us, doesn't it?" a female voice asked the boy.
"They are really interesting." another female student said, "I thought they're weird."
"Someone becomes popular." Maki chuckled clapping Pavel by his shoulder, "Aren't you happy?"
"Well, difficult to say, I got used that they stopped talking about me, but this will continue again." Pavel sighed.
"You're too modest." Maki chuckled too.
"I think it's suit him better." Ren replied to Maki, "He shouldn't put on a semblance of a hero."
"I think so too." Masami entered their dialogue, "A modest Pavel is much better." Ren looked at Masami with prudence, "By the way, do we have training today?"
"Yes, I think it'll be good to practice on scratches." Pavel offered the idea, "But only under the nurse's observation."
"I don't mind." Masami replied, "And…" she mumbled
'What is it?" Pavel asked her.
"I think I'll do without a cloth on my eyes." Masami said.
"We can try on a big break; I have a work to do after lesson." Pavel remembered his punishment.
"I see." Masami nodded.
"Can I join you too?" Ren joined to their talk, "Probably I'll help Masami too."
"Why not." Pavel looked at Ren, "The more the merrier." Pavel chuckled.
"And what about us?" Maki asked her classmate.
"Well…" Pavel wanted to reply but heard a voice behind him.
"Pavel." they saw Rinko, "I wanted to apologize for our quarrel, I was on emotions so…" the girl stumbled.
"No, nothing to worry about." Pavel shook with his head, "I'd do something like that on your place. After all I was taking part in it too."
"Thank you for your work." Rinko nodded, "I hope you'll come to the club today." then she ran to her brother and his girlfriend.
"Did you have a quarrel?" Aki turned to Pavel.
"Kinda, but now everything is fine." Pavel told.
The first lesson they had was P.E. lesson with Takeuti. The students put on their winter uniform and were running around the building of the academy several circles, until the man stopped them and ordered to do a several number of physical exercises.
"Honestly, I'm still have to get used to this all activity." Shiranui chuckled walking side by side with Asagi, "It was really a long period from me not working with papers."
"I hope you'll get used to it soon enough." Asagi smiled to Shiranui, "After all you were better than me in that."
"But now I think you've become better." Shiranui chuckled watching at the students, "My, my, it was really a long time, I missed it so much."
"The first thing we're to do right now, is to give you information about current situation." Asagi said to Shiranui, "All documents are in my office, did you drink coffee today?"
"No, I was too excited and came not eating, and the kids are also…" she laughed, "They were afraid that I'll go away somewhere again and they decided to sleep with me."
"They love you a lot." Asagi smiled, "Honestly, I was envious towards you sometimes."
"Why? You also have a big child." after saying that Shiranui laughed.
"Very funny." Asagi smiled too, "I hope Sakura to be more mature one day."
Shiranui and Asagi way wasn't long and they came to the principal's office fast. Asagi prepared two mugs of coffee and gave a bunch of papers to Shiranui.
"It's the criminals we're dealing with." Asagi said as she sat onto her chair, "Interesting is that they all are foreigners."
"Etienne Richar." Shiranui took a paper, "A French scientist. Modified his body and can make tentacles."
"According to meeting with him, he can do not only that, he also can fix his cut limbs back." Asagi added, "What is it?" Asagi asked Shiranui ho tensed her face.
"Well, I've seen these two too." Shiranui said handing two papers to Asagi with dossiers on Mystic and Przemislav."
"When?" Asagi interested.
"I barely remember that man." the woman pointed at Mystic's data, "But he helped 'Red Division' in fighting me, and this one brought Yukikaze and Tatsurou to my head in order to help."
"What?!" Asagi quickly got she barely overturned the mug that was on her desk.
"Is it bad?" Shiranui didn't understand.
"Further we meet them only more questions appear." Asagi looked at the papers of the mysterious man and Polish psychiatric, "What made them helping?"
"And what about that Walter and the white armored one?" Shiranui asked the woman in front of her remembering two strange persons, "There's no data on them."
"I see." Shiranui was continuing watching data.
"Also Naomi's 'Black Wing' is with them." Asagi said.
"That makes things worse." Shiranui looked at Asagi, but saw tensed expression on her, "Don't tell me there's something else."
"Minori is with them." Asagi sighed.
"What?!" Shiranui even let fly her papers, "How that happened? I thought she was…"
"She was captured." Asagi didn't let Shiranui to finish, "It seems that this man has already been to Japan and she encountered him."
"That's really messy news." The woman I brown official suit and a ribbon in her hair started to pick the papers, "If these demon Lords are strong than Incubus King and Black, I even don't know what we can do." Shiranui was confused.
"Well, we have an idea how to fight him. During our last encounter he was scared of Pave's sword. He was watching only after his lunges, while several of ours were missed."
"If he is scared of the sword then why won't you take it?" Shiranui asked Asagi.
"That's what want to do next time." Asagi nodded, "Probably I'll be able to make a good trap and get him."
"Well, and what about these seal?" Asagi was asked again, "I still can't understand what they're for."
"I don't understand too." Asagi sighed, "As Russian minister, however I and Pavel have an idea. Probably they want to bring a first demon lord of the first line here. According to legends he must lead them."
"My, my, now we're working with legends, and where is a book with fairy tales?" Shiranui didn't like what she'd just heard.
"It's in Russia and in Russian, so Pavel will read it." Asagi answered.
"Well, it seems everything will be really interesting soon." Shiranui sighed, "But still, I think we're ready to it."
The day continued and the lessons were passing, when a big break started, Oleg decided to go to the teacher's longue in order to have his lunch. Oleg saw Chikeko with some teachers in the office and not thinking a lot he sat next to her.
"Bon appetite." Oleg said to Chikeko.
"Ah? Thank you. You too." Chikeko nodded.
Oleg sat next to her and took wanted to take out his lunch box out of his bag, while Chikeko quickly put some box in front of him.
"What that for?" Oleg was slightly surprised.
"For saving me from dead freaks." Chikeko said, "And or helping with Shiranui, let's just say it's my gratitude for what you're doing to us and…" she stumbled, "For me too."
Oleg slightly smiled, "I'm just doing what I must. There's no need to thank me."
"But still, I want." Chikeko said pushing the box to Oleg slightly, "And… I wanted to apologize, sorry for those words, I mean… what I told you. I was too emotional."
"Well, what words?" Oleg put on a semblance he had forgotten their talk.
"I will do everything peacefully." Chikeko smiled, "And don't want you to see me envious and jealous."
"Well…" Oleg opened the lunch box he was given and was slightly surprised of what was there, "Each of us can do something stupid, but it's important to understand that in time. I'm glad that you understood that."
"By the way, do you have any plans after our work at Inageya?" Chikeko asked Oleg making him chocking, "What is it?"
"I've forgotten about that." Chikeko smiled at his expression, "I hope students don't visit it at that time."
"I'm sorry, but I'll break your hopes." Chikeko chuckled, "We'll be shine in front of students."
"Found how to calm." Oleg sighed.
Next moment they saw Sakura in her official black suit. She greeted everyone, but then was a amazed a little seeing Chikeko and Oleg.
'Not her.' Sakura and Chikeko thought at the same time.
"Can I join you?" Sakura asked Oleg, who only nodded to the orange haired woman.
Sakura sat on the other side of Oleg with a triumphant smile.
"By the way, I remember that you go to Inageya today. Make sure I'll visit it too." Sakura chuckled watching at Oleg.
"That's won't be better." Oleg sighed again, "I wanted to ask you, what I'll do there?"
"If I remember it right, granny will give some uniform and you'll work with customers." Sakura explained, "When I was younger, I used to do that. It was really funny."
"I'm not created for such work, I hope this week will end soon." Oleg stated, "And at the same time, what suit she will give us?"
"Who knows." Chikeko shrugged with her shoulders, "She has a bunch of them and can change them every day, so you're must be ready for that."
"I see." Oleg wasn't glad of such information.
The talk stopped. Sakura and Chikeko felt tension and didn't know what to say because of each other, while Oleg was eating. The women decided to do the same.
"By the way, is it your lunch?" Sakura suddenly asked Oleg, "Your food is usually not so cute."
"Chikeko gave me." Oleg replied almost finishing it.
This time Chikeko felt sense of triumph and smiled, making Sakura a little jealous.
"I see." Sakura replied.
"And I think to start cooking for Oleg since today." Chikeko decided to show her triumph."
"What?!" Sakura glared at Chikeko.
"After all he helped us and to me saving from those zombie and a skeleton. So it's the least I can do for him."
"Girls." Oleg coughed, "You're too loud." Oleg pointed at the teachers in front of them.
Male teachers looked at Oleg with jealous eyes as the man had two beautiful women on his sides. The eating was finished fast and Oleg decided to have a walk, while Sakura and Chikeko went to do their work.
The man was walking slowly by the yard of the Academy and saw students who were having a nap or were talking, while eating their food.
'How I'm eager to them.' Oleg sighed, 'It'd be better to be on their place and have no worries about 'The Third Law' and their troubles.'
The man was walking, but also checking time on his phone, when there left several minutes until the bell he decided to return back.
Masami, Pavel, Ren, Aki and Maki decided to have a little practice and then have a lunch. The friends talked to each other on their way to the gym. Ren felt slight tension, about Masami, however the talk could vanish that feeling.
"Well the plan is next." Pavel said, "First you have practice with each of us first, I think three minutes will be enough."
"And what next?" Maki asked the boy.
"Then we'll continue with scratching Masami." Pavel said, "I warned the nurse on a short break, so she must be on the place."
"Masami are you sure about that?" Aki was slightly worried.
"We have already done it." Masami replied to him, "It'll be the second time."
"And…" Aki was worried to continue.
"Everything was fine." she replied him, "After all, there were our nurse, Igawa and Vlasova- sensei, and Pavel." she looked at the boy making him blush a little.
"Who will be the first one?" Ren decided to interrupt that moment.
"I think it should be me." Pavel said, "Masami got used to practice with me so she know how to oppose me. And it'll be a good warm up for her."
"Then I'm next!" Maki declared.
"But remember Masami should attack from time to time coordinate your moves and don't wound her." Pavel warned his friends.
"For me it'll be difficult." Maki chuckled.
"Is it really good?" Aki still wasn't sure about the idea.
"I think it's good too." Ren returned back to her friends, "She must get used to our weapons and the way of fighting, so the training will be only better with us all."
"Nice replied." Pavel was glad Ren could explain everything.
"Thanks." Ren was glad he praised her.
They all were in their uniform and with weapons. They reached the gym pretty fast. When they were inside they saw a nurse, who was sitting on the bench. Pavel looked at her and quickly ran to her, they told something to each other and then Pavel returned back.
"So, I and Masami will warm up and then will be Maki, then Aki and then Ren." Pavel announced the queue.
Everyone agreed with that and then the trio of Japanese students sat next to the nurse.
"Ready?" Pavel asked Masami, "If you want I can wait." he smiled to her in order to comfort her.
"No, I'm fine." Masami said watching at her spear, "Let's start." she prepared for combat.
Masami was the first ne who attacked Pavel.
"Wow! You're fast!" Pavel was surprised of her unexpected lunge.
Masami replied nothing, but only started to attack him. Pavel decided to parry her strikes instead of dodging. He felt that Masami was unsure, so he encouraged her in order to give her decisiveness.
"Masami is doing great!" Maki was surprised that little by little Masami was sure in her moves and Pavel started to feel problems with her, "She wasn't so energetic."
"It's really good to see that she is returning back in action." Aki smiled watching at their fight, "After all, it wasn't her mistake and she didn't deserve that."
When three minutes past, the nurse gave a sign, and then Maki changed the boy. The fight started again, but this time Maki struck first, Masami dodged and tried to get used to Maki now.
"Nice to see she quickly got used to Maki's pace. Sometimes she can give troubles." Pavel was watching at their fight.
"Maki is still Maki if she doesn't do that." Aki chuckled watching at his girlfriend, "Ren you're too thoughtful than usually, has something happened?"
"What?" Ren looked at her friend, "No, nothing." she answered him than.
The time ran out and then Maki was changed by Aki. The boy decided to give Masami to attack first, while he dodged this lunge and then started to attack Masami. Their fight was similar to hers and Pavel's as the weapons were similar. Masami knew how to work with two handed swords and Aki wasn't too problematic for her, however some of his lunges were really interesting and dangerous.
"Your turn." Pavel put his hand onto Ren's shoulder.
"Y… yeah." Ren nodded, 'I must do everything well.' she thought.
Ren stood in front of Masami and exposed her short blade.
"Well, it seems I'll have problems, won't I?" Masami asked Ren.
"Why?" Ren didn't understand her words.
"Because of our situation." she glanced at Pavel.
"It's just a practice nothing more." Ren replied her and then attacked Masami, 'Damn! On reaction…' she thought.
However Masami could protect herself with the hilt of her spear.
"That was really close." Masami said to Ren.
"Sorry." Ren apologized.
Their fight was a little more energetic than the other three were, Masami could only protect herself as she didn't want to strike Ren back, because of her speed.
The fight was over and then Ren stopped attacking. Pavel got up and went to the girls.
"Now, we're to start with scratching." he looked at Masami, "You're to think you got them during the fight."
"Understood." Masami nodded the nurse wanted to tie her eyes, but Masami shook with her head, "I'll close my eyes and… will try to do it without it."
The nurse wanted to disagree, but Masami only sat onto the floor and closed her eyes.
"I'm ready." she said.
"Well." Pavel coughed at his fist, "Remember our fight first, how you attack me and how I tried to strike you back." Masami nodded and Pavel scratched Masami's shoulder with his sword.
Masami bit her lip, but didn't move or get up. Pavel gave her three scratches, and then looked at Aki.
"Now, remember your fight with Aki." Pavel gave a sign to Aki and to do the same.
"Is it really fine?" Aki didn't know it was right, but Pavel nodded firmly and the boy did what was told.
He scratched Masami three times too, and then Pavel called Ren. Without questions Ren did the same. While Pavel's scratches were on her left arm, Aki's ones were on the right. And Ren decided to do with her back. When everything was done, Pavel bowed to Masami and whispered to her.
"You fought well, the training is done." he said it while the nurse was working with her wounds.
"You can open your eyes." the nurse said, the girl did what was told and looked her body around not seeing the evidence of her wounds.
"Well, how do you feel yourself?" Pavel asked Masami, who didn't know her state.
"Difficult to say." she answered, "Probably, I think it's better now or…"
"One practice won't give a lot." Pavel stated, "We're to continue and then the result will be noticeable."
"And if you need us just tell." Maki clapped Masami at her back.
"I'll remember it." Masami replied with a slight smile.
Suddenly they heard a strange noise. They all turned to Ren, who only turned her face away with a blush.
"It seems we must have our lunch." Pavel laughed making Ren blushing more.
They quickly changed their clothes and then decided to have lunch on the roof top. There were no one right now, so they could feel relaxed them.
"Thank you for your help." Masami said taking out her lunch box.
"We're friends after all." Maki chuckled, "And friends must help each other."
"If you have some question, ask us, and we'll try to help." Aki also smiled to her.
"Wow! Can I have fried chicken?" Mai was amused of Masami's lunch.
"If you want." Masami handed the box to the energetic girl.
Maki quickly grabbed a piece of fried chicken with her stick and put it in her mouth.
"Delicious!" she was really glad of its taste.
Masami took another piece of the chicken and looked at Pavel.
"Here your reward too." she said to him, her voice seemed worried, but she tried to suppress it, and did it really well.
Ren glared at Masami, but the girl with brown hair didn't pay attention to it. Pavel couldn't resist and ate it.
"Well it's really delicious." Pavel said tasting really well.
"Here." Ren handed Pavel an onigiri, "It's for your help." Ren said blushing, "After all, you rewarded it. It can be not so tasty, but…"
"I don't think it'll be less tasty." Pavel didn't agree with Ren, he took her onigiri, 'Man, Ren's food.' Pavel thought, 'I'm so lucky!' he did a first bite, "Tasty!" Pavel was surprised "And the mix of seaweeds is really good."
Ren smiled that Pavel liked her food too.
"By the way, what is tastier? Masami's chicken or Ren's onigiri?" Maki asked Pavel creating a tense moment between two girls.
"I think they're both tasty." Pavel replied.
"Wrong answer!" Maki pointed at the boy, "As for me, Masami's chicken is tastier."
"Maki, stop provoking people." Aki sighed, "You know that's really rude."
'Damn, if I say Masami's dish is tasty Ren will become disappointed and the same with Masami.' Pavel thought, "Well, I think it's really important tasty is or not. I mean…"
"Important!" Masami and Ren raised their voices, Maki only chuckled at their reaction.
"I mean, I really liked them both and it's difficult to choose anything of that." Pavel sighed.
"Girls, I think Pavel need some space." Aki decided to protect his friends, "After all, both of you cook well."
Masami and Ren understood that it was impolite to push on Pavel and apologized to him. The lunch continued and then they headed to their classroom as the lesson was about to start.
Yukikaze, Tatsurou and Rinko decided to have lunch at Shiranui's office.
"Hi, mom!" Yukikaze exclaimed opening the door, "Aren't you busy?"
"Yukikaze, why not knock first?" Shiranui sighed, "Maybe I have a meeting?"
"Sorry." Yukikaze apologized, "I'll remember to do that next time."
"What brought you all here?" Shiranui removed from her papers, and turned to her daughter and her friends she raised in the past.
"To have lunch with you!" Shiranui heard the answer of her daughter.
"I want to talk her out of it, but Yukikaze is still Yukikaze." Rinko sighed.
"My, my you're right." Shiranui laughed, "Fine, come in. I also haven't eaten anything from morning."
The young one entered the office. They quickly took out their lunch boxes. Shiranui quickly did tea for her daughter and some kind of adoptive children.
"How do you feel yourself Auntie?" Rinko asked the woman while she as waiting for the kettle.
"Much better." Shiranui chuckled, "Likewise I'm ready to go to fight."
"Nice to hear." Yukikaze looked at her mom, "Who knows when these freaks will appear again."
"Which one have you fight, by the way?" Shiranui asked Yukikaze.
"I and Tatsurou were dealing with a doctor and the man with claws." Yukikaze said as she opened the lunch box her mother did for her.
"Etienne Richar and Anatoly Vlasov." Shiranui remembered the papers, "And how they were for you?"
"They were strong." Tatsurou said starting to eat his vegetables with rice, "While we fought Etienne, Oleg-sensei was dealing with the second one."
"We couldn't even get that bastard." Yukikaze burst out.
"Language, young lady." Shiranui said strictly, but then returned her casual voice, "I also hear you could fight him, Rinko."
"Yes, and another boy fought him, while Oleg-sensei was dealing with that man." Rinko nodded.
"So, they work in pair." Shiranui pondered.
"I could chop his arm off, but he could fix it back, like there was nothing." Rinko added.
"These guys are really serious. Even NOMAD isn't that troublesome." the woman concluded, "By the way, did you encounter your mother?"
"No." Rinko shook with her head.
"Mom?" Tatsurou asked Rinko, "Did you see her?" even Yukikaze chocked with her rice.
"No." Rinko replied him.
"It seems Asagi didn't tell you. But the man named Walter killed her and resurrected as his servant." Shiranui said, "That only tells that they're really dangerous as on my memory I and Asagi couldn't do anything to Minori."
"She was that strong? Drunkard told us about the former commander of 'Red Division' try to recruit her." Yukikaze said.
"It was supposed Minori to take the position of the headmistress, while I and Asagi were to help her." Shiranui explained, "Probably now we can do something, but still…"
"We'll help if it's needed." Yukikaze said to her mother, "We'll be able to bring Tatsurou and Rinko's mother back too."
"She was reborn as a zombie." Shiranui sighed pouring tea, and then sitting onto the chair opposite the sofa, "I don't think we'll be able to bring her back."
"Then we must put an end to her suffering." Rinko suddenly said, "For her sake."
"Rinko…" Yukikaze looked at the sister of her boyfriend.
"Rinko is right." Tatsurou sadly said, "It's the only thing we can do if she is a zombie."
"Probably someone from 'Red Division' knows about how to return her back?" Yukikaze didn't want to give up.
"Well, let's think about that later, when we meet these guys." Shiranui offered, "I've heard your grades by the demonic biology are low." the woman sighed, "Probably you're to visit extra lessons?"
"Mom, Oleg-sensei's subject is really difficult!" Yukikaze looked at her mother, "I can' remember everything."
"And Tatsurou can." Rinko chuckled at that statement.
"Rinko!" Yukikaze didn't like her friend betrayed her.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"Come in!" Shiranui raised her voice, the door was opened and there was Maria, "Maria?" Shiranui quickly remembered the name of the foreigner, "Does something bother you?"
"Oleg asked to check your mind." Maria explained the aim of her visit.
"Oh, yes, there was no opportunity to do that yesterday." Shiranui put her tea onto the table and gave a sign to come in.
"I'm not for long." Maria said entering eh office, she put her hand onto Shiranui's head and in several minutes removed it, "Everything is fine." Maria said, and then asked a question, "Was it really Przemislav who helped you?"
"Yes, I've read the dossier on him it was him." Shiranui explained.
"Did Oleg tell you something about him?" Shiranui was asked again.
"Well, that man only gave Oleg-sensei some notebook." Yukikaze suddenly said.
"A notebook?" Maria narrowed her eyes.
"I only noticed it was battered, nothing more." Yukikaze only replied.
"I see." Maria nodded, "Well, everything is fine, so I'll go. Bon appetite."
When Maria left Tatsurou took the floor.
"I think you shouldn't tell about that notebook." Tatsurou noticed tension on Maria's face, "I hope it won't be bad for Oleg-sensei after all."
The day was going pretty slow. The lessons were soon over and Pavel along with Oleg started to wait for their Japanese comrades to go and get their punishment.
"It's interesting to see what uniform they saved for us." Pavel said suddenly, "After all, it really interesting to see you in that."
"I have a good memory, Pavel." Oleg said with a warning note in his voice, "I hope you don't want to be a helper in my subject too?"
"Sorry." Pavel sighed.
"Did you wait long for us?" they heard a chuckle behind them, it was Shiranui with young Taimanin, "My, my I'm surprised Chikeko isn't here, she should always come early."
"She is giving task to the musician club." Oleg said, "The mostly important, how do you feel yourself?"
"Good, thanks." Shiranui nodded and looked at Pavel, "And you're Pavel, we hadn't a proper opportunity to introduce. Nice to meet you." she smiled to him as if she was his mother.
"Nice to meet you." Pavel nodded to her and accepted her hand she stretched him.
"So, are you friend of Tatsurou and Yukikaze?" she asked him.
"Yes, I am." Pavel replied fast, "However, don't talk much. But still we're in the same club with Rinko."
"I see." Shiranui continued with her warm smile, "Thank you for assisting to my daughter too, I'm in your debt for that."
"No need to mention it." that Pavel shook with his head, "I did that because I really wanted to help."
"My, my, what a diligent boy." Shiranui chuckled, "You should be friends with him." Shiranui said to Yukikaze and Tatsurou.
"And we do." Tatsurou looked at Pavel.
Chikeko ran in several minutes.
"Sorry, for waiting me!" Shiranui said running to the team.
"Don't worry, we are having a good talk." Shiranui replied to her colleague.
The team went to the need place continuing to talk. The young ones preferred to talk with each other, while the elders decided to talk to each other. They reached to sweet shop pretty fast and went inside without queue.
"Inage-san!" Shiranui raised her voice, "We've came to work!"
"Oh, Shiranui, it was really long when I saw you last time." the old lady said coming to the teachers and students.
"I'm glad to see you too." the woman bowed to the old lady, "The costumes are still there?"
"Yes, they are." she said, "If you remember you can show everyone what to do."
"Chikeko also will show everything." Shiranui chuckled.
"Didn't know you are a bad girl." the old lady laughed.
Shiranui and Chikeko showed the others the way to the dressing room. When everyone was there the woman entered the dressing room first. In no time they left out of it in quite revealing costumes. Shiranui had a bunny costume with opened upper chest like waitresses in casino wears. However the role of her ears was doing her ribbon. Yukikaze had something like that, while Chikeko had a uniform of cat.
"How do I look like?" Chikeko asked Oleg having a little blush.
"Impressive." Oleg answered fairly, "It suit you a lot." he removed her eyes from her.
"Now , it's boy's turn to change their clothes!" Yukikaze demanded.
Oleg sighed and entered the changing room. There was a big choice of costumes, however his eyes, were watching at the official suit with a tail and wolf ears.
"I think I'll take this one." Oleg said and started to remove his costume changing for the one he picked.
Pavel decided and Tatsurou's costumes consisted of vests and the same tails with ears. However Pavel had dog's ears, while Tatsurou had bear one.
"This costume suits you a lot." Yukikaze chuckled, "But I thought Pavel will be a bear isn't it too Russian."
"Well I wanted to have a dog, so I decided to dress something like that." Pavel replied.
"I hope our predator doesn't bite." Chikeko looked at Oleg making students laugh, "Sorry, but I wanted to say that." Chikeko said laughing.
"Yeah, mock at me." Oleg sighed, "I think someone will have control work soon."
"If get grades, will you eat us?" Pavel asked Oleg increasing laughing, even Shiranui joined to that.
"Very funny." Oleg sighed going to the main part of the restaurant.
Everyone followed him and left to the main part of the café, where were customers.
"Hello, boys and girls!" Shiranui exclaimed happily, "Today we'll serve you!"
"Wow!" someone exclaimed, "It's Mizuki and Hirata-sensei!"
"Damn, I must take their picture." another boy said in a hurry.
"Pictures are prohibited!" Oleg declared, 'Damn perverts.'
"Man, Oleg-sensei is so cool in such outfit." some female voice said.
"And Pavel is so cute, I'd like to pet him." another voice said, "And Tatsurou also."
"I think among sensei, Yukikaze is an extra one." Someone of male customers said with a pondering voice.
That made Pavel to chuckle, Tatsurou only hit his friend at his side.
"It seems someone wants his ass to be burnt, doesn't it?" Yukikaze glared at the customers.
"Yukikaze, we're to be hospital with the customers." Shiranui put her hand onto the shoulders of her daughter.
The first ones who started to work with clients were female teachers with male students.
"Stand or not, but the work won't do itself." Oleg sighed and joined the rest, Yukikaze sighed and followed him.
The work started and everyone did it well. The teachers and the students worked really hard and took the orders, and brought then to the needed tables.
'It was a matter of time.' Oleg exhaled seeing Sakura along with Maria.
"You know, these ears suit you a lot." Maria said to him watching at them.
"Can I touch them?" Sakura asked Oleg stretching her hand.
"It's a part of service." Shiranui chuckled to the younger Igawa, "If you want to pet him than order something to that offer."
"I think I'll do that." Sakura grinned watching at the so called wolf.
"I thought Asagi and Murasaki will come with you." Oleg said.
"They will come later." Sakura replied him walking to the table.
When Oleg set to the table, he started to wait for their orders. While he was waiting he noticed Pave's friends too. And a burst of laugh from Maki, while Ren, Aki and Masami only smiled at the suits of their teachers and friends.
"I'll come here every day for this week." Maki was still laughing.
"As you wish." Pavel said to her politely, "What will you order?"
"Animitsu." Ren quietly said.
"The same." Aki and Maki ordered the same.
"What is special offer, by the way?" Ren looked at the menu on the table.
"Well." Pavel stumbled, "Looking at how Shiranui and Tatsurou were petted, "You can pet me." Pavel replied.
"I think I'll take it." Masami looked at Pavel.
"You're to order food too." Pavel replied her.
"Ice cream fruit salad." Masami nodded.
'Should I take it too?' Ren was slightly surprised Masami took something like that.
"One moment." Pavel nodded and left his friends.
While Pavel was walking for the orders of his friends, Oleg was carrying the orders to his colleagues. The man put two bowl of ice cream onto the table and sat next to them.
"Well you can start." the man took a deep breath.
Sakura quickly put her hand onto his hair and chuckled.
"Good boy." she petted the hair, while Maria was doing the same with his chin.
"Nothing is heard?" Oleg asked them.
"No, everything is still." Sakura replied him, "Even our division doesn't show itself."
"I see." Oleg was glad that they finally have a break, even if it was their fail, "What is it?" Oleg noticed Maria's eyes on him.
"Nothing." Maria answered, 'He doesn't seem suspicious.' she thought then, 'Where is that notebook by the way?'
Pavel also brought the orders, and sat next to Masami. The girl looked at the boy.
"It can be a little selfish, but…" Masami was a little excited, "But can you feed me?"
"It's the part of that offer." Pavel replied and took the spoon, he took some ice cream with it and said, "Say, ah." Masami opened her mouth and Pavel put ice cream into her mouth.
"Delicious." Masami ate it.
'Is she provoking me?' Ren was angry, but still could hold herself.
"Hey, how about to make that practice tomorrow?" Maki suddenly said, "I liked it."
"I don't mind." Pavel agreed, "After all it'll be only good for Masami to get used to different types of fighting."
"If we do it again, I think I'll change the way of fighting." Aki said to his friends, "However, I don't think it'll make us different with Pavel." then the boy looked at Ren, "Hey, Ren how about to ask Mizuki-sensei to practice you? I thought you wanted to ask her to do that."
"What?" Ren was disturbed of her ponders.
"The training with sensei." Maki said instead of her boyfriend, "Have you forgotten about it?"
"No, I'll ask her tomorrow." Ren shook with her head.
"Is everything good?" Pavel asked Ren delivering another spoon to Masami's mouth.
"Yes, nothing to worry about." Ren only lowered her head to her dessert and started to eat it.
The sun set really fast and Tokyo started to become dark. People started to leave the street as the night was late evening was really cold.
"I think, I've bought everything for breakfast." a woman with fair hair said, "I also have to get up earlier to cook it for kids."
A woman was wearing warm clothes and was holding bags in her hands.
"The night will be really cold today." she continued pondering, "Probably it's good to have fun with my husband?"
She went by the streets making turns to small streets one after another. She saw that there were almost no people outside, however it didn't scare her at all. The woman was singing some melody on her way, but then suddenly felt something.
'Am I being chased?' she suddenly thought wondering what was that noise she turned her head, but saw nothing, 'Probably, it's my imagination.' the woman thought, but then she heard a strange noise again, 'No, it's defiantly not my imagination.' she frowned, 'Now!' she thought and did a high jump.
Something medium rushed under her feet.
'What was that?' she thought landing back, also seeing that the flying object was returning.
The flying thing returned to her back quickly; however she dodged the attack again. She threw her bags away and did a strong swing with her arms creating a strong puff of wind. The thing braked, but didn't stop.
"Now!" she chuckled and was about to make another wind attack, but she felt how something kicked her at back and then gave a cut at her arm, "What the hell is that?!" the woman raised her voice while she was trying to get up, but then she suddenly fell onto the ground again, "What?! I can't move even my finger!" she was scared now, "Huh?" she felt how something lifted her up and then took a wing into the sky.
The working day ended at Inageya, and the students with the teachers changed their clothes and headed to the exit. They said goodbye to the old lady who was in charge of that place.
"The day was really funny." Shiranui chuckled, "Nice to see everyone like it."
"I wouldn't say that." Oleg told her remembering how several people were petting him.
"As for me it wasn't that bad." Tatsurou answered.
"Yeah, if only they didn't remind the size of chest." Yukikaze mumbled.
"You're still growing." Shiranui tried to cheer her daughter up, "So don't pay attention to that."
"Really?" Yukikaze looked at her mother.
"Yes." Shiranui smiled combing Yukikaze's hair, "However, it's sad that Murasaki and Asagi didn't come. I thought they would like to see us."
The crowed was walking slowly, but then separated in two groups. Taimanin went to their side, while Chikeko with Russian hunters went to theirs.
"It was really difficult day." Chikeko stretched her spine, "I don't tire on missions like that."
"I'd like to take a bath and forget it." Oleg answered her.
"You must try to relax." Chikeko smiled to him, "Being strict doesn't suit you."
"Do you think so?" Oleg asked her.
"Oleg Semenovich." Pavel said, "I think I'll have a walk."
"Why?" Oleg looked at his student.
"Well, I have something to do." Pavel replied him and then ran somewhere right, "See you in the dormitory." he waved to him.
Pavel was rushing by the street and when saw a back of someone ran to him and said.
"Ren, aren't you busy?"
"Pavel?!" Ren was slightly scared of the boy, "How did you?"
"The working day of the sweetshop is over. I noticed you and decided to come to you." Pavel looked at the girl.
"I see." Ren looked at him, "Does anything bother you?"
"No. I just… wanted to have a walk with you." he suddenly said.
"I thought you would check Masami or something like that." Ren put her hands onto her hips.
"I have practices with her from time to time." Pavel said her honestly, "But if you don't want I won't insist."
"No, I don't mind to have a walk. I just…" Ren stumbled.
"Just?" Pavel reasked her in a minute.
"No, nothing, I have time to do that." Ren replied him.
Both of them went to the park where several people were right now, but still there weren't so many of them. The park was lit well. There were a lot of benches were everyone could sit.
"Listen." Ren asked him, "Do you have something with Masami?"
"Why such questions?" Pavel asked the tanned girl.
"Just interesting." Ren asked him, "You two look like if you're dating."
"Does it really seem like that?" Pavel looked at Ren, "No, we don't have anything like that." Pavel wanted to make everything clear to Ren, "She usually doesn't act like that, don't know what came into her."
'Is he really that blind?' Ren thought.
"As I told, I don't know is it a really good idea to start something like that." Pavel continued.
"Yes, I remember." Ren nodded, 'It seems not.' however she was glad that the answer was negative, "Forgive Maki, by the way." Ren suddenly said, "Sometime she can be a real pain."
"I don't angry at her." Pavel smiled, "She only wanted to know what I liked more." Pavel stumbled, "Sorry for not telling that, but your onigiri were tastier." Pavel turned his face away.
"What?!" Ren's face became red, "Why such all of a sudden?! I don't need your pity! After all fried chicken is nothing to onigiri."
"That's not true." Pavel disagreed with Ren, and even turned to her, "I didn't want to hurt Masami's feelings, so I decided to stay calm." Ren's face became much redder, "I really liked it and that's not pity. And honestly, I'd like to eat them some more."
"It seems I will get up a little earlier today." Ren replied, "To make an extra portion." she added with a smile.
"Maybe I should do something in exchange?" Pavel asked Ren, "I don't want to give you extra work giving nothing."
"Well, how about some Russian light dish then?" Ren asked him, "I'd really liked to try it."
"Deal." Pavel nodded, "I'll think of something."
"By the way." Ren suddenly asked him, "How about to have training together? I think we must become skillful since we will work with Igawa-sensei."
"Yes, in that battle I couldn't do anything serious against that man." Pavel said.
"Don't push yourself." Ren sat onto the bench, Pavel did the same next to her, "If that man was the one you told about…" Ren pondered.
"A demon lord?" Pavel raised hi eyebrow.
'Yeah, we won't be able to do anything against him if he could defeat Akiyama Minori even in several years." Ren said, "Only good team work can be good against him."
"Here you're right." Pavel nodded seriously, "And since my sword can fight him, than it means I can practice hard to get him next time."
"And you won't do that alone." Ren smiled to him, "I, Maki, Aki and everyone else will help you to catch him."
"Thanks." Pavel smiled, "I'm counting on you." Pavel smiled too.
Ren wonted to take his hand, but still decided not to do that.
'Damn.' she cursed herself.
"How about to eat cotton candy?" Pavel pointed at the seller that still was in the middle of the park, "It's my treat for joining to Masami's training."
"I'd like that." Ren replied him.
Pavel quickly ran to the woman, while Ren was still sitting on the bench.
'Why the hell I'm indecisive with him?' Ren thought, 'I can kill demons and even try to fight stronger opponents, but I'm scaring to tell him about my feeling.' Ren hit the bench with her fist, 'Why the hell he is a foreigner!' she cursed the situation that was between them.
Pavel returned fast, and handed the cotton candy to his classmate.
"Thanks." Ren said to him returning her casual expressions.
"After all, I also have something to thank you for." Pavel smiled.
"What for?" Ren didn't understand him.
"For saving me from that zombie guy." Pavel said to her, "If not your water power, I'd be done."
"Found what to remember." Ren only replied him, "You saved me several times."
"Well, that's not only that." Pavel said.
"Then what else?" Ren looked at him with surprised eyes.
"That's what I won't tell you." Pavel smiled to her.
"Weirdo." Ren only replied him starting to eat her sweet.
