Chapter 12
Walter was standing on the ridge of a tall skyscraper, and there were three persons behind him, they were Tardis, Minori and Mystic.
"Another seal, Lord Walter?" the demon asked the man, who seemed concentrated on something.
"Probably." Walter nodded, "However, the energy is so familiar, that it seems I felt it a long time ago."
"Do you mean it can be not seal, but something else?" Mystic asked him with am interested voice.
"I don't know, but the thing you've investigated wasn't a seal, so I don't know what it could be." Walter still was pondered.
"Master, Walter let me check the area." Minori came to him, and then started to look around, "No, nothing is seen." she sighed, "I'm sorry."
"The seals are difficult to find." Mystic replied her, "Don't apologies."
Suddenly a lightening hit somewhere ahead.
"Lightening?" Tardis pondered, "Without clouds and rain?"
"And in Tokyo." Mystic was puzzled too, "Can it be an anomaly?" he looked at the man in the armor.
"Minori, look there." Walter pointed at the place near the one where the lightening had hit.
"Yes!" Minori exclaimed and looked where the man told, "I…" she wasn't sure to speak or not, but when she saw serious eyes of Walter continue, "I don't know, but it seems I see something."
"What is that?" Walter only asked her.
"I can't tell you, it's like a spot for me." Minori replied again, another lightening hit, but in the other place this time, "Now, it's disappeared."
"Understood." Walter only mumbled, 'It's unstable for now. So it means that it's still can be destroyed. We have to wait.'
"When did you find that seal?" Mystic asked him this time.
"Recently." Walter turned to him, "But I don't know the direct place, I have feeling that it's disappearing and appear in another place." another lightening hit.
"Is it possible?" Mystic was surprised to hear that.
"Usually not." Walter replied being pondered, "However there's no wonders if that can happen, these anomalies are unpredictable, and we can await absolutely everything from them."
"Can I join you this time?' Minori asked him with a serious tone, "Maybe I'll be able to detect the seal with my powers?"
"Why such activity?" Walter looked at the woman with a mask with suspiciousness, "Don't you want to join the Taimanin and kill me when I'll be distracted?"
"I would never do such a thing against you." the woman bowed her head, "Plus to that, I'll be able to fight Asagi and distracting her is what you want."
"Asagi is mine." Walter replied fast, "You will deal with other bothersome Taimanin."
"As you wish." Minori bowed to him and looked at the last lightening.
They observed the night city for some time, however it was the last lightening. After a while they decided to retreat in order to prepare well for upcoming mission, however Walter decided to stay for a little longer.
'Interesting, how it can change the places?' Walter thought, 'Could it be really a seal or it's something else?'
"Wow, you're moving really fast." Pavel dodged Masami's lunge, "I barely have time to react."
"Thanks, you also are amazing." Masami replied him, "I still have a little delay in attack." she clashed the blade of her spear with Pavel's sword, "All thanks to you, I'm returning back to shape."
"Yeah." Pavel nodded and jumped aside, he tried to dash and to attack Masami again, "How about that!"
Masami could dodge it and with the hilt could hit Pavel's legs, what made him fall.
"Damn." he rubbed the back of his head, "I did a really idiotic thing."
"Well, you should work with it." Masami smiled to him and helped to get up, "Is all for today?"
"Yeah, I think yes." Pavel accepted her help, "Or I'll have more bruises and that will give Maki one hundred one reason to ask a lot of questions." he chuckled, both of them left the gym, and headed along the corridor of Gosha Academy, "Listen…" Pavel said indecisively, "Are you ready to do everything on the way of your rehabilitation?"
"What do you mean?" Masami raised her eyebrow in a questioning.
"I mean… no matter how tough the ways are, are you sure you won't stumble and won't stop?" Pavel tried to find a way.
"After all your efforts, why should I do that?" the girl replied him, "On the contrary I must do everything well in order not fail in front of you and Maria-sensei."
"I see." Pavel smiled seeing her decisiveness, "It's so strange to be here on Saturday." Pavel decided to change the theme of their talk, "No kids and other students at all."
"Yes, it's really uncomfortable not to hear the voices." Masami smiled slightly, "However it's also good that it's just the two of us here." she looked at him, "By the way, how about to have a snack?"
"Well, I didn't bring anything to eat." Pavel looked at the girl whom he was helping to return back to normal life.
"Don't worry, I cooked for two." Masami became a little blushed, 'At least today no one will disturb us.' She thought then and looked at him.
"If you did that, then I don't mind." Pavel smiled to Masami and both of them decided to go some free classroom, as it was rainy outside and they couldn't have meal outside.
They didn't change their clothes and just put their weapons next to the wall, while they were sitting in their classroom. Masami took out two boxes from the bag and handed on to Pavel. The boy opened the box and saw some rice with vegetables and meat in the right corner of the box. Masami also put a thermos onto the desk in order to drink tea.
"By the way, is your family still going to visit you?" Masami suddenly asked the boy.
"Yeah, they will come pretty soon. And, I'm nervous." Pavel sighed, "They will try to know how I'm here and will ask absolutely everyone about me, I have no doubts they will even ask Asagi about me." he put some rice and a meat ball into his mouth.
"And do you have anything to hide?" Masami bowed her head.
"I didn't mean that I have done something bad, but the occasion with Yukikaze and Tatsurou and other difficult works, which we do, will make them worried."
"Even our parents are worried about us, when we go to our mission." Masami replied him calmly, "There's nothing strange."
"Yeah, but it's some kind of a usual work for us, but in my family there are not hunters and they are overly worried about me." Pavel smiled, "And that really is making me excited too."
"Everyone will say that you're a diligent boy, and try to help to everyone." Masami put some food into her mouth too and when she ate it, she continued, "Everyone and even Yatsu-sensei will only praise you."
"Well… thanks for that." Pavel mumbled.
"You're really a modest." Masami laughed.
"I just didn't used to be praised a lot in Russia, and it's really a new sensation for me." Pavel looked at the window, "Maybe it's because I didn't know what I should do, as I didn't have hunters in my family, who would teach me everything and if not Oleg Semenovich and Maria Sergeievna I would stay on the same level not giving much result."
"With you the words that school is a second home are really come true." Masami looked at the boy, she put her box and looked at him with serious eyes, "Listen, I wanted to ask you about something."
"What is it?" Pavel didn't like the changing of the mood.
"What do you have with Ren?" Masami suddenly asked him, "Are you two dating or what? As I see your relations are more than usual friendship."
"No, we don't have anything like that." Pavel replied her, however his voice trembled, "I told you that I don't know is it good for me or not to make relations here as I…"
"I remember." Masami nodded as she interrupted him, "But still, do you want to become more than friends with her? And if I seriously confess to you what will you choose?"
"I…" Pavel didn't know what to answer, "I think I'll also won't answer you, because of that."
'Here he is more indecisive.' Masami looked at him, 'I must be more persistent.' then she smiled, "By the way, how is your work against those criminals? Is everything going well?"
"I don't know well it or not, but I don't know winning we or not." he took a deep breath, "They're really tough guys and even in a small number can give lot of problems."
"I see." Masami nodded, "I hope you'll beat them."
"Maybe you also will join us in the future." Pavel chuckled, but then became a little upset, 'Only after that rough lesson.' then he looked at the girl again, "How about tomorrow? I'll talk to Maria Sergeievna, and we'll do everything." the boy tried not to think about the bad things he was about to do.
"I don't mind." Masami nodded, "I can't wait to see how the last treatment will look like."
They finished their food, and slowly went out of the academy, the rain become weaker and it was possible to go outside, but when they came to the main gates they saw Shiranui and Asagi who were walking to the academy under their umbrellas.
"What a coincidence, Masami and Pavel." Asagi looked at the two students, "Do you even practice on the weekends?"
"Yes." Pavel replied her, "Soon she well be as everyone and will be able to do missions with everyone."
"Really?" Asagi seemed surprised, "I'd like to see that."
"And what have brought you here sensei?" Pavel looked at the women, "I thought it's a day off for you too."
"Well, since you're here, you can join us." Asagi replied him, "Maybe your ideas also will be fresh."
"Sure." Pavel nodded, but then looked at Masami.
"Don't worry." Masami nodded to him, "If Igawa-sensei calls you then you must go." she waved him with her hand and then rushed ahead with her spear on her back.
"My, my, what a diligent boy." Shiranui looked at him, "Train a girl even on the weekends. Don't you like to rest?"
"I'll rest when she will be fine." Pavel answered to Shiranui, the woman tried to pull him under the umbrella, but the boy, decided to run to the entrance of the academy.
Pave followed the woman still being in his battle uniform, and with his sword on his back. They quickly reached Asagi's office. The headmistress started to make coffee, while Shiranui and Pavel sat onto the sofa next to Asagi's desk.
"So, do you really think that it's an anomaly?" Shiranui asked Asagi, when the woman was pouring hot water into the mugs.
"The problem is that I don't know." Asagi sighed, "We also thought it was an anomaly during our last mission, but still according to Murasaki, Sato and Ito's words, it was some strange demon, who also attacked our Taimanin."
"I remember." Shiranui nodded, "So, there's someone who also can create such anomalies?"
"But who needs that and why is a real question." Asagi put two mugs onto the table, which was next to the sofa.
"Could it be Walter?" Pavel suddenly asked, "Maybe some demon could do that under his order?"
"I don't think so." Asagi also took her mug and sat onto her place, "He wants to destroy the seals, so that's why such activity isn't for him, as he will waste more resources for those stupid actions."
"The problem is for whom he is working." Shiranui pondered, "And could we work with him against Walter."
"By the way, did you find a new anomaly?" Pavel suddenly remembered the beginning of the women's talk.
"The problem is that I don't know anomaly it is or not." Asagi sighed and drank some of her coffee, "However, we must check it, because I have no doubts in it."
"And what is it about?" Pavel asked her again.
"There were several lightening hits in Tokyo yesterday evening, however there was no clouds and no rain." Asagi informed him, "Don't worry, I have already sent some Taimanin to investigate everything. But still, I think I'll need someone to send as ordinary people as it's Tokyo, but not Tokyo Kingdom."
"So, do you want to say we'll go and check it?" Pavel asked Asagi with inspired voice.
"Probably." Shiranui smiled to him, "But we must need to know where to start."
"Well, I'll give you the data." Asagi nodded to the woman, "For the weekends, I think you're to be free, I'll think there will happen nothing, and other Taimanin will patrol the place, however if something happens I'll call you urgently."
"Deal." Shiranui nodded and then suddenly turned to the boy, "By the way, Pavel. Asagi told me the legends you told her, can I ask you a question?"
"Well, sure." Pavel nodded not knowing what she wanted to know from him.
"That first lord, who controlled the others." Shiranui started, "What powers he had?"
"I don't know." Pavel shrugged with his shoulders, "But it was said he could control the other nine demon lords."
"That means he is really strong and if won't fix even one seal we have lots of problems." Shiranui frowned, "And are you sure that the rest from third line are dead? Maybe they could survive, how do you think?"
"The legends tell they're dead." Pavel replied fast, "Indeed legends are legends, however I don't think the third line is alive."
"I think here he is right." Asagi nodded, "If Black and Kuroi could became leaders they could amend the story of demon world and took I under their control."
Shiranui could hold herself, when she heard the name of Incubus King, nevertheless it was possible to feel her tension.
"Sensei." Pavel suddenly turned to Asagi, "Can I ask you about something?"
"What is it?" Asagi looked at him raising her eyebrow.
"Well, I wanted to ask you about well…" Pavel tried to find right words, "How should I say it right?" he asked himself.
Asagi suddenly smiled, "Is about Ren?"
"Yeah." he squeezed his fists and decided to add, "Can you give her a mission where she will be able to work as a leader of the squad?"
"Wow." Shiranui was surprised of such idea, however Asagi answered nothing.
"Indeed when we first meet she failed as a leader, but I think she deserve to have a second chance. She is working really hard and she even awoke her power, so I think it's a good opportunity for her to recommend herself."
"As I remember you two could hit that dinosaur, am I right?" Asagi looked continued to watch at him.
"Yes." Pavel nodded, "And if not her, our Minister could be dead. I know she can be emotionless sometimes, but she tries to fight now and she thinks much more carefully about her ways."
"Fine." Asagi nodded with a slight smile, "I'll think about such mission, if you really recommend her that much, I can't leave it unnoticed."
"Thanks." Pavel smiled, "And please, don't tell her I asked you about that. Let it be your surprise to her."
"I don't mind." Asagi nodded, and looked how Pavel about to leave, "And one more question. "Pavel turned back to her, "Did Oleg tell you something about Sakura?"
"What do you mean?" Pavel didn't understand the question.
"No it's nothing." Asagi smiled again and let the boy go.
"What was that question for?" Shiranui looked at Asagi, "Don't tell me that spring has finally come to Sakura." She chuckled then.
"It's really hard to belive." Asagi also seemed surprised, "But I think it's really so."
"And are you agree that it's Russian? I don't mean that it's bad, but when he will be taken back to his country what she will do? It's quite stupid to do that." Shiranui gave her point of view.
"That's what I'm afraid of." Asagi sighed, "And I BELIVE Pavel understands it and also is afraid to confess to Ren." She pondered, "However he is influences good on her." Shiranui raised her eyebrow, "She even helped me with dinner yesterday." Shiranui barely choked with her coffee.
"Sakura? And cooking again?" Shiranui put her mug and coughed, "That's really something out of fantasy."
"I also didn't belive, but she at least helped prepare the dishes and did tea." Asagi answered, but then she exhaled heavily as if something hard was on her heart, "But I hope if everything is fine she won't repeat our fates."
"Yes." Shiranui nodded, "I would wish to no one to lose their second half." but then Shiranui decided to snap out of bad thoughts, "By the way, are you sure it was a good idea to send Shizuru to that mission? Won't there be anything bad?"
"I hope there won't be." Asagi frowned then, "But we must know what their point of visit there is, and won't they pull something out against us."
"I checked some information on them, it was really hard since I missed five years, however I could find out that they have some strange relations with Russia." Shiranui concluded.
"What so strange in them?" Asagi didn't understand.
"The problem is that Russia didn't help them significantly during the war. But still they have the same ideas of country structure, nevertheless, Yugoslavian politicians rarely visit Russia and with Russians is the same."
"That's really strange." Asagi frowned more than before.
"But still they could win the war against such number of countries, there was the help, but the Russia didn't take part in it." Shiranui was frowned too, "So the real question is who helped them."
"I have a strange feeling." Asagi mumble, "Russia, 'The Third Law', demon lords and modern noble demons, 'Red division' and now Yugoslavia. I won't surprise if all of that has some connection."
"I what way?" Shiranui asked Asagi, she was interested in the words of the headmistress.
"When we started to cooperate with Russia, all these problems started to appear, even unity of three parties in our parliament and now they go there, I don't know why." Asagi rubbed her nasal bridge.
"If you want you can take a vacation and I'll change you here." Shiranui offered an idea to Asagi.
"No, we need to stop these scums, before they do something really scaring." Asagi shook with her head, "And, frankly speaking, I'm scared of that Walter much more than of Black. And the legend Pavel told is not a legend at all."
"That white armored person is really strong too." Shiranui agreed with Asagi, "Celine, am I right?" Asagi only nodded.
They continued to discuss the problems that came to them trying to find at least one thread which could untie the ball of questions.
The plane landed in the airport and people started to leave it one by one using the ladder. The last ones who leaved it were the woman with long fair hair and glasses, she was wearing a red coat and which was covering her body. And behind her were other two people, one of them was a woman and the third one was a man. The woman, behind the fair haired woman with glasses, had short brownish hair and was wearing a skirt with a jacket, and her legs where covered with stockings and high heels. The man behind then also was wearing an official suit, he hand shirt hair which were tied into in a short tail.
"So, is this Serbia?" the woman with brownish hair looked around, "Always dreamed to visit Europe." she was saying in English, but with a little accent.
"Yes." the woman with fair hair and glasses looked at the landing square and at the airport, which was ahead, "Good thing the storm didn't break our plans. And we can watch everything here." she was speaking in excellent English without accent at all
"It's bad that the planes flew to other places." the man wasn't glad, "However since the meeting is tomorrow we can look around better."
"Here you're right." the fair haired woman answered him, "So the best thing is to go to the needed place and only then to go and rest before tomorrow."
"And what about them? Is the place where they should stay known?" the woman with brownish hair and glasses looked at the other woman in the coat.
"Yes, we're not far from them. So we'll see them." the fair haired woman chuckled and headed to the building of the airport.
When they entered the airport they quickly headed after the people, with whom they were flying.
'Well, our equipment should come straight to the hotel.' the fair haired woman pondered, 'And it won't be a difficult problem to check everything here.'
"So, where should we go first?" the brown haired woman asked her friends, when they finished to show their passports to the security, "I think main square of Belgrade is a really good place."
"Why not, I don't mind." the man chuckled.
"I'm sorry, but the main square is closed and will be opened tomorrow." one worker of the airport turned to the women and the men, "You can walk near it, but the entrance is forbidden." his accent was really strong, but still it was possible to understand him.
"Thank you for the information." the fair haired woman winked to him, "We'll remember it."
The tree of them left the building of the airport, but before they had taken they cases. After leaving the airport they saw a big street with big buildings.
"So, this the business area." the woman with fair hair looked around, "And as I remember the main square must be not so far from it."
"It's in an hour and a half on a car from here." the man was watching at the screen of his phone, "So? Maybe we'll go to the hotel first? And put our luggage?"
"I don't mind." the woman with brownish hair nodded and looked at the second woman.
"Let's do so then." she nodded, "Or we'll be strange walking with cases." she chuckled then.
They quickly cought a taxi and said a needed address with a nod the man started the car and slowly went.
"Prvi put ovde1?" the man looked at the trio, who could sit together on back sit, through the mirror.
"Sorry?" fair haired woman reasked him.
"Oh, sorry. not speak Serbian?" the man tried to switch onto English.
"No." they all answered together.
"I understand. You not… here." the man seemed was trying to remember the needed words, "America? Germany?"
"Canada." the fair haired woman answered, "Maybe Russian? Do you know it? We don't speak Serbian."
"Know… Russian?" the man seemed surprised, "Much good…" he added in bad English.
"Did you study Russian?" the fair haired woman asked in fluent Russian.
"Not much, friends were there." the driver also switched in Russian, the fair haired woman even liked the manner of talking as there was no big accent now, which was difficult to understand.
"And how is everything now?" the woman asked him, "How is it after the war?" she stopped and then added, "Sorry, if you don't want o answer don't do that."
"Don't think about it." the man chuckled, "Everything returned back to normal. If not our leader Lazar Mladich everything would be really worse."
"I've heard a lot of people admire him." the woman fixed her glasses.
"Indeed, they do that." the man nodded, "After all he took part in it as everyone in the most difficult places." the man answered trying to find correct words, however he mixed them with Serbian ones.
"And are you Serbian?" the lady continued her interrogation.
"No, I'm Bosnian." the man quickly replied.
"I see. By the way is the main square really closed?" she asked him another question.
"Yeah." the man span the steering wheel and did a turn, "It'll be opened only tomorrow, it will be crowded so it's better to go there in the morning."
"I see." she smiled him, "But is there a possibility to see it from a far? I want to take some picture."
"You can try, but it really will be far. I don't know will you take good photos or not." the man answered her.
'It'll be bad if I won't be able to do that.' the woman thought watching at the window.
The driver was going for almost two hours because of jams, however he could reach the hotel and after paying the passengers left the car and it went further. The trio entered the big building, which was in front of here and after a small process of booking confirmation went to their room.
"Sweet." the fair haired woman switched in Japanese when she saw three big cases in the room.
"Damn, it was really hard to play the role of the traveler." the man did the same, "After all we're didn't have that number of travels as you, Shizuru."
"Don't complain, Toru. You did really well." Shizuru winked to him, "But still, you have to work at you pronunciation. It'll be your homework."
"Can't belive we could have Canadian passports." the woman with brownish hair came to one of the cases and opened, "It'll be bad if we will be revealed."
"Don't worry, Kikyou." the man looked at her, "This kind of work is our main specialty so we'll have no problems, just to sneak into the building and listen to them."
"I'll play the role of the journalist then." Kikyou answered him, "Your questions are always childish."
"Hey, I always ask difficult questions." the man disagreed with her, "It's just because not all can answer them." he put on a semblance he was hurt.
"Then we'll try to sneak inside." Shizuru looked at him too.
"By the way what did he tell you?" Toru asked the fair haired Taimanin, "As I understand you asked him about main square."
"Yes, he also told that it's closed and that the man that is the leader of the party, Mladich is a hero of the whole country." she answered his question.
"Maybe there's nothing suspicious?" Kikyou came to Shizuru, "Maybe our politicians decided to do something good for the first time?"
"That's what we must find out." Shizuru sighed, "Who knows, what they have in their heads."
"So, should we go and look around?" Toru asked the women, "Probably we will be able to find the way to sneak into the building."
"Not a bad idea." Shizuru agreed with him, "Let's go."
The three left their cases in the room, but still took the documents, and left the hotel. With the help of the man in the phone they could find the main square pretty fast as they were not far from it.
'Man, it's so good just to listen to the people who speak unknown language.' Shizuru was watching from one bunch people to another one, 'Maybe I should study this language?' she asked herself, 'Knowing Russian is a good advantage after all.'
The people around them were talking a lot and Shizuru tried to understand what they were talking about, however only small parts of their talks she could understand and tried to put in one sentence, however it was difficult for her as many of words were incomprehensible for her.
"It seems tomorrow there will be some concert too." Shizuru suddenly said.
"How did you know that?" Kikyou was wondered.
"People are mentioning something about it." She said then in English, "How about to visit it if everything is fine?"
"It'll be really good to have some rest." Toru liked the idea, "Only work and work, no time at least just have some rest."
"I don't see problems." to the woman with brownish hair agreed too.
They came to the square and so that it was really closed with a fence, only few people were allowed to enter it, the trio quickly understood it were politician.
'Interesting, where are our ones now.' Shizuru frowned, but then became lively as one of the policemen looked at them, "Mister, can I take a photo with you?" Shizuru suddenly asked him, the man only looked at her seriously, "Sorry for stupid question." she put on semblance she was sad.
"I don't mind." the man replied her, "But quickly, I'm on a duty."
"Thanks." Shizuru smiled to him and stood next to him, the angle was taken well, and Kikyou did several shots, and then they let the man on his position.
Then they started to walk around the square, which they about to visit tomorrow. They took some pictures of it sometimes they also pose in front of it, in order to make everything unsuspicious.
'Well, I think it's possible to sneak there threw that building.' Shizuru looked at the building that was not far from the central one, 'So it's the building of parliament the only thing is to sneak inside and everything is done. But the problem is that we must do that in a day time, but not in the evening.' she frowned, 'And there's no time to think at all. It seems we'll act as possible is at can only be.'
They continued to walk around, until it started to become dark, they decided to walk for a little longer and to go to café in order to eat something, as they haven't eaten since the landing.
"I hope Mladich won't make mistakes in talking to these politicians." Oleg was sitting in a wagon of the train and in front of her there was Andrew, "He can scare them and they will be confused the whole meeting."
"You know what to say about people." Andrew was watching at the window, "By the way, did you prepare the paper I needed?"
"Yes." she nodded and then handed the pile of some documents, which the man quickly put onto the table, which was between them, "Are you sure you want send him to Japan?"
"Yeah, Mladich in Japan is really comical, however he is the best, who can start to talk about sanctions about me." Andrew started to look through them, "But the problem is that I don't know how to do that."
"It would be better if Eugene talked to him about that." Olga frowned, "That damn Minister never did anything good for you, you only help them."
"I help because I must." Andrew answered her watching at the papers, "And he must do what country demands from him, but not me."
"And why do you want to ask Mladich then?" Olga didn't understand the idea of such action.
"Because they don't work, with Russia so closely." Andrew was looking through the papers fast, "Yugoslavia can offer a lot to Japan in the area of Taimanin."
"Won't reveal us?" Olga frowned, "I thought you didn't want to expose our relations with Yugoslavia."
"That's why I asked you to bring these documents." the man smiled to her nit stopping his reading, "I must be careful with what I give, in order not to give unneeded data."
"And what are you planning to give them?" she took a bottle of water which was on the table and opened it.
"I think he can offer them some cyborgs and other devices." Andrew answered simply, "After all it's only his secret information."
"As I remember you helped him to open that factory, am I right?" Olga did several sips of it and closed, then she handed to the man in front of her.
"I did." the man nodded, "But still it's a governmental factory so I don't have profits from it."
"You're really strange sometime." the woman shook with her head, "On you place I would take some percent there."
"They give them to 'Red Division', that's enough for me." Andrew replied, "You also trained fighting against them."
"Yeah, I remember." the woman nodded.
Andrew took the bottle and did several sips too, "But still the problem that is bothering me now, the work of Cyclopes and Drunkard, can they oppose 'The Third Law'?"
"Since they saved Shiranui, Taimanin received great help in her." the woman answered him, "So they won't need extra help. By the way is Hush there?"
"Yeah, he is about to finish the mission there and will join them soon too." the man put aside the papers and looked at the window, "And Mechanic's squad also should finish their work, so they will be able to continue to monitor the situation."
"And the other problem that you won't send extra mercenaries there." Olga sighed.
"If only I could go to assist them." Andrew sighed, "But I don't know for whom to leave everything."
"You won't go without me!" the woman exclaimed, "What if someone captures you?! Everything will fall!"
"Don't exaggerate." Andrew smiled, "You'll look after it, as I remember you had such experience in the past. However it's dangerous to do as I don't like Savrasov's ideas, which he is giving lately."
"Yeah, if only there was an opportunity to check his documents." Olga mumbled, "I'm sure he saves some money for himself, and not let Russian Hunters to have progress."
"It's a difficult theme." Andrew rubbed his eyes, "Despite problems they have some progress. And for now they should start to cooperate with Japan in that. That Dmitry does his work well, however something is standing on his way, and I don't know what is that Savrasov or Pavlov."
"I think they both are weird." Olga said as if she didn't like the men they were talking about.
"You never met them." Andrew chuckled, "But you read them really well. Pavlov is from old league, orders are everything for him, and he never let everyone to do what they want, even if it's better even for Russia." he took a deep breath, "But in the beginning Savrasov was really excellent leader he even was able to attract governmental grants to the hunters' base in Russia. And he also could make a base in the north of the country, to train you there too."
"The best part of which was an opportunity to do skiing and having hot springs." Olga wasn't happy about these words.
"Nevertheless he could do it, but know the strange thing is that he changed in his mood and started to delay his work. Maybe he wants to give way to the new generation?" Andrew answered turning his head to the woman.
"Never liked these political and economic things." Olga mumbled, "They're always so difficult. Bad is good and good is bad."
"You must read what is good for you there and join that." Andrew got closer to her and removed a strand from her face, "You'll like that I have no doubt."
She became red and turned her face away.
"Don't do that so unexpectedly." Olga asked him being blushed.
The train continued its way and the two persons continued to talk and check the documents that still were on the table.
Oleg was sitting at the desk in his room in the dormitory and was reading some books, while Pavel was lying on his bed and was reading some book.
"Oleg Semenovich." Pavel suddenly asked the teacher, "What are you doing? As I remember there is not examination so why are you working so hard?"
"Just want to help someone." Oleg merely replied, "Not turning his head away from the book. And what about you? How was your training with Andou?"
"Good." Pavel nodded closing his book, "But I don't know how to do it. I want to do it tomorrow, under Maria Sergeievna's watching."
"I see." Oleg nodded, "Are you sure you're ready to do that?"
"How was it with you?" Pavel asked him, "I understand I must push on her emotions, but I don't want to do it too rough in order to hurt her."
"Here you're wrong." Oleg turned to him, "That practice must be like that. You must try to call upon her emotions, and she must try to suppress them and defeat you. It's the only way for her to come back to normal."
"Maria Sergeievna told you also had something like that. How was it with you?" Pavel asked again.
"After Archon's betrayal." Oleg grunted, "It was really hard for us, especially for Maria, but she could pull through it, because we had only each other for whom we fought." the teacher did a pause, "With Masami the situation is the same, she has new friends and for her old ones she must fulfill the difficulties in order to be helpful to new friends." Oleg returned to Masami's problem, "That's why I sat her next to you in the train."
"I understand all of that, however I'm not sure I'm ready." he took a deep breath, "I offered her to do it tomorrow as it will be always really difficult to do."
"The problem is that it must be you, since you created a bond." Oleg got up and came to him and clapped him by his shoulder, "Don't worry, she will be able to do everything fine. And she will understand that it's only for her good."
"Yeah, thanks for inspiration." Pavel tried to smile, but it was difficult for him, "By the way, Asagi asked about you."
"What is it?" Oleg was surprised that Asagi was interested about him.
"Did you mention something about Sakura?" Pavel quickly remembered Asagi's question, "Does it mean you two are dating?" Pavel was able to change his mood a little.
"No." Oleg merely replied, "Just friendship. Nothing more." he went back to the desk.
"I thought you will date with Hirata-sensei." Pavel sat onto his bed, "But I think Sakura is much cuter."
"And what about Masami and Ren?" Oleg looked at the boy with interest, "With who do you want to start relations?"
"It's not fair, we're talking about you right now." Pavel didn't like that the man changed position and started ask uncomfortable questions.
"But still, if you had a chance." Oleg asked him.
"I think… no I'd choose Ren! Masami is like a sister or a good friend for me, but…" Pavel stumbled, "I'm not sure if it's a good idea to start relations here."
"Why?" Oleg turned back to him.
"After all we must return back to Russia when everything is done and what's the point of such relations?" Pavel replied him.
"Here you're right." Oleg watched at the ceiling, "However you must understand what you want, and do as you wish. As you can have regrets about that in the future. Who knows maybe you'll be able to take her with you."
"She'll never agree." Pavel smiled sadly, "And what about you?"
"Being friends with Sakura is enough for me." Oleg answered him, "But still it's true that I feel something to her."
"Really?" Pavel looked at the man, "Didn't know someone like you will be close to someone like Sakura." Pavel chuckled then.
"Very funny." Oleg grunted, 'However, it's really true.' he thought in his head, "She helped me several times, so now I want to repay her in order not to be in debt."
"And what do you want to do?" Pavel became a little serious, "I mean how you want to repay her?"
"That's what I don't know." Oleg sighed, 'I won't tell him that.'
"Well, I hope you'll think of something." Pavel understood the man didn't want to talk about it, and decided to leave the room.
"Where are you going?" Oleg looked at him seriously.
"Just wanted to ask Maria Sergeievna, to assist us tomorrow." Pavel replied him and left the room, 'I also should call Ren, her support will be significant too.' the boy told to himself.
Pavel returned back to his room in an hour and a half, he told Oleg that everything was discussed and Maria agreed to help. Oleg could do nothing, but only encouraged Pave for the work he was about to do tomorrow, which should be significant in Masami's treatment. However the boy was happy that Maria won't take direct part in the training as there must be only Pavel and Masami in one room, with these thoughts he decided to go sleep in order to be ready for that difficult day in his life.
"Nothing…" Celine mumbled standing on the roof top of the building, she was in her casual form in her white armor, and Stephanie was in her cloak, 'Disappeared…'
"It seems that one hid really well." Stephanie also came to the ridge of the skyscraper and looked down, "There is no presence neither of demons nor the wasps, you were talking about."
"Hid… probably…" Celine only replied, "Must focus… other work…"
"Which one?" Stephanie looked at Celine with surprised expression.
"Boy… felt…" Celine replied, "Energy source… must… find…" Celine tried to speak well, but because she was thoughtful it wasn't possible for her.
She took Stephanie and both of them appeared in some corridor.
"Need talk… with him…" Celine headed along the corridor.
Stephanie was after her and decided not to disturb Celine's thoughts. Celine was walking quickly as if she knew the needed way, and was sure that it's right. In some minutes she came to some door and opened it. It was some kind of training room, she looked it around and saw three people training there.
"Good… you… here…" Celine exhaled cold steam, "Need… talk…"
"Celine?" Torch was surprised to see the armored woman, "I thought you were checking the area."
"Found nothing…" Celine replied fast and came to the boy, "Felt… something…?"
"No." the boy shook with his head, "The voices stopped talking, but sometimes it whispers something and I don't know what." Celine looked at him, "It's doesn't me bother a lot."
"Good…" Celine replied.
"Should we continue the searching?" Azumi came to them too, and watched at Stephanie, who was doing the same.
"No… Have rest…" Celine answered straight, "Must prepare…" she looked at Stephanie, "And… must tall… with… Walter…" she was serious, but still her voice seemed soft, "Found something…"
"Another anomaly?" Torch was puzzled.
"Don't know…" Celine looked at him and made him flinch, "Probably…"
"Then we must prepare too." Torch sighed, "If that water ninja is with them this time too we'll have lot of problems."
Celine only nodded and then left them to train further. Stephanie followed the armored woman too.
"I want… you… do something special…" Celine looked at her helper.
"What is it?" Stephanie was surprised that Celine wanted something personal from her.
"Go… I tell…" the armored woman took Stephanie again and then disappeared again leaving the base, where they were.
