Chapter 15
After sometime the team arrived to the base. While they were flying to it a difficult atmosphere formed in the transport. Each of them didn't know what to talk about, Pavel wanted to talk with Maria Sergeievna, but still he didn't know what to talk with her about. He also didn't know what to talk about with Ilya. As he remembers, Oleg Semenovich mentioned something about him, but because of not knowing him, he decided not to talk with him. Chikeko was also gloomy, as Pavel understood she had contacted with Igawa Asagi. Pavel didn't know what the strongest Taimanin said to the musician teacher, but he guessed that the answer wasn't as he would like to hear. Ren noticed his pensiveness and sat next to him.
"Thinking about them?" Ren whispered, trying not to catch Maria's attention, she was sure that the shooter was listening nothing, but for Maria she wasn't sure.
"Yes." Pavel admitted, "Maria Sergeievna is right in some way." he said subdued.
"What do you mean?" Ren was wondered what Pavel meant.
"She was right when she said that I and Oleg Semenovich have a permission to be in Japan, but for these two the situation is another, I don't think that they will be treated well."
Ren started to understand what the Russian boy was mentioning; indeed they could be declared as spies or someone even worse, and even knowing that they helped a lot will not help them. Ren didn't know what to say, she wasn't interested in policy, but somewhat she didn't to see her classmate upset, she used to see him always merry and smiling.
"Don't worry, I think Asagi-sensei won't give them offence, and will think something." Ren said putting her hand onto his shoulder. Pavel turned his head and saw Ren's smile. It was the first time when he saw it, it was bright and warm and Pavel noticed that her serious and gloomy face doesn't suit her.
"Yes I think you're right." Pavel said also smiling, "You know how to cheer people up." Pavel added and then whispered into her ear, "You know smiling suits you more than being serious."
"Hey don't say such things so all of a sudden!" Ren raised her voice, and attracted Maria and Chikeko who still were sitting not saying a word, the only one who wasn't listening to them at all was Ilya who was merely sleeping, "And thank you." she said still looking in his face "For saving me."
"You're welcome." Pavel referred with his smile.
"But it doesn't mean that I'll start to trust you too much." Ren added with serious voice.
"Don't worry maybe one day you will stop to be to suspicions toward me."
After half an hour the vehicle landed and the group of hunters left the transport. They now were in hangar and near with their transport they saw a woman with long blue hair and emerald green eyes, she was wearing the same white shirt with a bow-tie and a black skirt with the same black heels.
"Greetings." the woman greeted the group.
"Greetings Igawa-san." Chikeko greeted Asagi too.
'So this is their Igawa Asagi.' Maria thought, she was grabbed her hand with another one,
"So these are the ones you reported me." she looked at Maria who was near with Pavel, and Ilya who was on Pavel's back, the boy still was sleeping, putting his head onto Pavel's shoulder.
"Yes Igawa-san." Chikeko replied, "These are the one who helped us during our mission."
Asagi came closer to Maria and asked her.
"Let me guess both of you are Russians." Asagi said like she already knew the answer, but just wanted to define it more exactly.
"Yes, we are." Maria nodded agreeing with her.
Asagi saw that the Russian woman was holding her hand with another one. "Please, follow me; I'll bring you to the medical room." Asagi turned and went to the exit from the hangar. All of them followed the blue haired woman.
When they came to the place they were going, Asagi stopped and turned to the company, "Pavel, Ren you can be free." then turned her head to Chikeko and turned to her. "Hirata-san, please hold on for a minute." the musician teacher nodded.
Somehow Pavel could awake Ilya and now the boy was standing near with Chikeko, how was holding the boy. Pavel and Ren left the elders and Asagi said.
"I don't think that you're intending to have a conversation now. That's why you can rest for today; the nurse will treat you as she can. She is the best of our medical stuff, and tomorrow I think I'll call for you." with these words Asagi opened the door and let the two enter the room. Asagi explained everything to the nurse and left the room taking Chikeko with herself. The nurse saw them; the woman was impressed when she knew that Ilya who looked like a girl was actually a boy. The boy had nothing serious and just needed to rest, while Maria had more problems, the nurse admitted that the arm of Russian was broken; the nurse tried her bet to fix it she bandaged her arm and ordered to rest too. She also treated their wounds. When everything was finished she brought them to the resting room and left them.
"Man!" Ilya moaned, "Finally a soft and warm bed." Ilya fell down onto a free bunk." the boy quickly fell asleep, but Maria couldn't sleep, she felt strange herself, but she couldn't explain why. She thought a lot about her first meeting with that Igawa Asagi, about her fight with her brother and about other things, 'Well right now, I can't do anything, but rest a bit, everything will be clear tomorrow.' He thought and tried to asleep, somehow she could do this.
The sun started to appear and the new day arrived. The nurse knocked at the door and entered the room.
"Wow, you're not sleeping?!" she was surprised seeing two Russians awaken Ilya was sitting on the bed and Maria was standing near with putting her hand on his shoulder, "Um, can I ask you, what are you doing?" she asked Maria, but Ilya only put his indicative finger, to his mouth and asked her to be silent, the woman didn't understand but became calm. Such act was lasting for five or so minutes when Maria opened her eyes and removed her hand from the boys shoulder. Maria turned her head and saw the nurse, "Do you want something form us?"
"Yes, I want to ask you about your state of health." the nurse came closer to them was surprised that the boy who was totally exhausted several hours ago, was able to move like he wasn't tired at all, but Maria's arm still wasn't well, the nurse advertised her to go to the hospital, but Maria rejected her offer, the nurse only sighed and said, if you feel yourself fine, could you go with me, Igawa-san wants to talk with you." both of them nodded and followed her.
While they were following the woman with acid green hair Maria turned her head to the boy, and saw that he was worried and put her head onto his shoulder again and closed her eyes, likewise she showed him that there's nothing to worry about.
'Don't worry, the talk I take for myself.' Ilya heard Maria's voice in her head, 'If she asks you about something, I'll tell you what to answer.'
'Captain, you are always in time.' Ilya sighed with a relief, 'It's so convenient that you have such ability.' the woman referred nothing, but only continued her way.
They did a long way by lots of corridors but in the end they came to place where was only on door then the nurse said them, "Please wait here." she knocked and entered the door, and after several seconds she invited the two Russians into the office. The office was simple only one desk and with two chairs, Ilya gulp, the boy didn't like the place, he started to think that it was some kind of an interrogating, but not a talk, then Maria's voice calmed him a little, 'Don't worry, remember our plan and everything will be fine.' the boy understood, but his unease still was with him.
"Please, don't worry I just want to talk nothing more." Asagi said with a calm and peaceful voice, "I'm sorry that I'm doing it in such place, but this building has no perfect places for it."
"Don't worry, Miss Igawa." Maria said, "It's not bothering us at all." the boy wanted to say something, but the teacher put her hand onto his shoulder and looked at him with serious eyes, the boy understood that it will be a bad idea.
"Please sit down." she nodded at the chairs and they sat, "Please, allow me to introduce myself, Igawa Asagi."
"Yes we have already understood it." the woman with red hair said, "Maria Sergeievna Vlasova, but you can call me Maria."
"Ilya Vladimirovich Potapov." the boy said excited; he was looking on his knees, because he was too worried to watch at Asagi, "But you also can call me Ilya."
"Then you can call me just Asagi, I won't mind at all." the woman smiled trying to calm Ilya, but then asked her first question, "Well I'd like to know what Russian hunters are doing in Japan?"
"We're looking for the members of the criminal organization, named 'The Third Law'." Maria merely replied, "I think you have had to already know about them."
"Yes, I do." the elder Igawa said, "But why so secretly? You know that it's too suspicious for you to wander in foreign country on your own. You can be mistake for enemies and will be attacked by our hunters too."
"I understand it." the woman said, "That's why we were ordered not to come in contact with you or other criminal structures, but only investigate everything what is connected with these criminals."
"So that's why you helped to our hunters twice." Asagi continued.
"Yes, the first time was when we met our comrades, Oleg Tereshkov and Pavel Tarasov, and the second time was now." Maria responded and put her hand onto the fixed one, Asagi noticed it and said worried.
"Is everything alright?"
"Yes. Nothing to worry about, please continue your interrogation." Maria's arm started to hurt little by little, but she decided not to expose it, but to answer all questions of this woman.
"Fine." She said narrowing her eyes, "What enemies were you fighting, this time?"
"Anatoly Vlasov, his nickname is Archon, and Mystic whose name is unknown to us." she stopped for a second and then added "Also there was a Pegasus but we know nothing about him."
'Hm, everything is according Chikeko's report.' Asagi thought remembering what Chikeko reported her during the night, "By the way, I heard that this Archon is your brother, is it true?"
Maria frowned her face and then said, "I wish that it wouldn't be true, but it is so."
"I see." the woman understood, that the woman in front of her was really his sister, it was interesting for Asagi why her brother joined a criminal organization, but she decided not to anger the woman Asagi knew what is betraying, and even knew how really painful betraying of relatives, she decided not to discuss this theme and asked another question, "How do you think what they're looking in Japan?"
"That is the thing we're investigating." Maria started, "We don't know why they're interested in Japan, we have some theories, but I'm not allowed to talk about them."
"I understand, orders are orders." she saw how Maria squeezed her hand a bit more tightly, but still she didn't ask the woman, because she already knew her answer, "Well, I'd also like to know about your skills, what powers do you have, she looked at the boy first.
"My powers are in light abilities, I can shoot with rays of light out of guns…" the boy faltered, "But my guns were destroyed."
"These guns?" Asagi put two guns onto her desk. The boy as surprised to see his guns, he thought that they were left on that roof, but he was glad seeing them here even if they were broken, "Yes, these ones." the boy nodded, and then Asagi turned her head to Maria.
"My powers are in mental abilities." Maria continued with the same calm voice.
'Mental abilities?!' Asagi was surprised of such information, 'So, now we can try to research it, perfectly.' and then she said again, "As I understood there only two members in that organization with such abilities, am I right?"
"Yes, as you can know it's my brother Anatoly, and Przemislav Wojciechowski, the master in this area..." Maria responded with lowered voice, likewise she felt a strong pain.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I see that your arm is not right at all." Maria wanted to say something, but Asagi stopped her with her hand, "I won't accept you rejections!" Asagi raised her voice and shouted, "Ootani, come here!"
The green haired woman entered the room and saw how the woman was squeezing her hand. "I knew that your arm wasn't alright! Why didn't you let me to see it more properly?!"
Maria answered nothing; Ilya was looking at her and decided to protect his captain, "Don't blame her, please. She wanted to talk with Igawa-san and after this she would say about her arm."
He noticed that the women believed in these words, Maria admitted that the boy found needed words and at the same time it was true.
"Igawa-san, have you finished your talk?" Ootani asked the woman with emerald eyes.
"Yes we're finished for now." Asagi said firmly.
"Let's go with me." Ootani said taking the woman by her healthy arm. Asagi also let Ilya go with them as she knew everything what she wanted for now, she wanted to see how her abilities work, but she decided to leave it for next time. She got up and left the office thinking about something.
"Aki no!" Maki shouted at her friend, "It's too reckless, do you understand that it's too dangerous."
"I know, but we have no other choice." Aki said to Maki, "For now it's the best plan that we have."
"Ito it's really a dangerous plan." Murasaki joined the conversation of her pupils, "Maybe I should play the role of bait?"
"No, sensei you and your brother especially don't suit for this role, because…" the boy stumbled for a bit, but then said, "Because of your age." he saw how Murasaki frowned her face, but still the blue haired woman said nothing, "For Rinko-san and Maki, it's clear too, both of them have special abilities, so I think it's me who should to take a role of a bait, because I only will meddle in fight."
"You're not meddling!" Maki continued with a raised voice, "Your plans always are well thought out, it would be better for me to play the role of a bite!"
The silence formed after Maki's words, but Aki decided to disturb it first, "Maki, you will cover me from the shadows, so I don't think that there's anything about."
"But still, it's too reckless…" Maki hit with her hand by the tabled that was near with her, everyone heard that it could be crushed if she applied more energies.
"Maki." Rinko entered the conversation, "I think we must follow this plan, because right now it's the only thing we have we failed previous time, and this time can be the last one for us. We don't know when they stop their capturing so that's why we should argue right now."
"Sato , Akiyama is right." Murasaki, agreed with Rinko's point of view, "Each time can be the last one and if they stop, we will never find these criminals."
"But we could try to combine our powers with those guys and…" Maki couldn't finish her idea, as she was interrupted by her teacher.
"To cooperate with those criminals? Are you sane?!" Murasaki shouted Maki flinched at such sudden reaction of her teacher, she wanted to say something, but the teacher didn't give her such opportunity, "They helped us only once and you call them our allies, isn't it too soon, to make such conclusions?"
"Twice." Her brother who was leaning on the wall said.
"No matter." Murasaki said, "We even don't know why they're here." the blue haired lass didn't want to join their side.
"Well, they're here, because of the 'The Third Law', that's why I think that they could become our allies this time."
"And if they really cooperate with Naomi, we can't deny their help." Kuro said looking at the side where his sister was standing, then said, "And about Aki's plan, I think that we must follow it, because it's the best thing we possess right now." then he headed to the door that led out of the room they were in.
"Where are you going?" Murasaki asked the blind man.
"Don't worry, I want just to go for a walk, nothing more." He said and left the room.
"I see." and then she turned to Aki, "Ito, I hope that you know what you're doing."
"Don't worry sensei." the boy said, "I hope that everything will be fine."
Murasaki, and Rinko left the room the boy was going to leave it too, but he was stopped by brown haired girl, "Why didn't you let me do this?"
"Do you mean the playing the role of a bait?" the wanted to know a bit more directly was the girl mentioning it or the whole plan.
"Yes." Maki only responded.
"Because, Yatsu-sensei, and her brother are not suited for this role, "And I also don't want to risk with your and Rinko's-san lives, I even didn't think about you as a kill devil, because you're my friends."
"I see." Maki released his hand and thought, 'So you really don't understand why I'm so worried about you.'
"Don't worry, I think that this time everything will be fine, and even if we encounter those guys we won't fight them and can even combine our powers."
Maki merely nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, maybe you're right."
Aki left the room too and Maki now was alone here, she wiped a formed tear off of her eye and left the room too.
The sun was shining high in the sky it was bright and a bit warm. Kuro went into the street and headed by the town's streets. The man was wearing sunglasses, a black jacket and black trousers and er his black jacket was a white shirt. He looked like an office worker or some businessman, but still people didn't pay much attention at him because they were busy with their own matters. Kuro was walking slowly; he wasn't in a hurry, instead of some other people. Suddenly he came to one man and asked him.
"I'm sorry, where can I find a bar?"
"Oh, it's not too far away from here." the man referred to Kuro, "Just go forward and after two intersections, turn to the right, and then you'll see it on the other part of the street."
Kuro thanked the man for the information, and went ahead. The bald Taimanin was blind, but still because of his feelings he could sense everything and see like the other people, but sometimes he saw even better than ordinary people. While he went to the bar, he was thinking about Aki's plan, indeed it was dangerous and reckless, but still it's the only thing they have now. He remembered how Maki offered to cooperate with 'Red Division' and how his sister declined such offer immideately. From the first side, it wasn't a bad idea, they helped them twice. It was interesting for him why these mercenaries appeared in Japan. He had already known about them and he also knew that they're neither good, and at the sometime neither bad. Once he fought with one of them, he was pretty strong and he could lose him if he wouldn't fight side by side with Igawa Asagi. He remembered the words of that man, Avalanche, as he remembered, that they're here because of 'The Third Law', but were his words truthful or not, was absolutely another question. He thought a lot, but still more questions appeared, than answers came. So he decided, not to think about it.
Finally, he arrived at the needed place where the bar was, from the outside it was an ordinary building that was placed on the ground floor of the tall building. Yatsu Kuro entered opened the door and entered the bar. The building was quite fashionable inside. It was well lit, there were a lot of tables, and chairs, in some places of the building there were some plants, tall and short. And as all bars it had a bar counter with a bar man who had a lot of bottles with different drinks. Kuro sat at the chair near with the barman and saidю
'One whisky." the man behind the counter nodded and started to pour a golden liquid into a glass and stretched it the blind man. Kuro took it and poured it in his mouth. The barman was surprised with such speed, and then heard, "Repeat it." the man filled another glass and stretched to the Taimanin again, but this time he wasn't drinking it in one go, but was looking on it.
"Finally, I found this place!" a ringing voice said happily, "It's easier to get lost in this fucked city, than find something."
All costumers turned their heads to the man it was a big, massive and muscular person who had brown hair which were tied in a tail. His face was blunt and had a lot of scars, people became calm, and because they thought that some gangster or a criminal guy entered the bar.
"I told you to be quite when we are in public." the other person was less ringing and rude, but still was serious, "You scare other people, with your voice and especially with you appearance."
Kuro strained his ears, when he heard the second person; this voice was familiar to him, so he decided to listen to it more in order to make sure that he was right.
"I'm not at fault that they're afraid of me." the first person said again, "If they afraid of me then because of nothing then their all idiots!"
"I'm just telling you to be calmer, so you'll scare people less." the other person tried to convey his point of view.
"I'll think about it, but promise nothing." the man hit his friend at his back, the man was prepare so he didn't fall onto the floor.
They came closer and Kuro suddenly heard, "Haven't expected to see you here, Kuro!"
"So I was right that it was you." Kuro got up and looked at the man, who had black hair sunglasses on his eyes and also had bristle if the first man was wearing a sport costume, the other one was wearing a roll neck with trousers and boots, the one that turned to Kuro was wearing a T-shirt, and a vest, and on his legs he was wearing jeans with crosses. "Long time no see Paul."
"Yeah, it was really long." the man with a vest nodded.
"Do you know him?" a massive person asked his companion.
"Kinda." he responded, and then suddenly said to his companion, "Hey, will you be able to sit alone?"
"What?!" the massive person exclaimed, "The fuck I shall drink alone?"
"Well at least you can talk with a barman." the man said calmly.
"You know that my Japanese is poor, do you think that he will understand me?!" the two men were talking in English, with each other; Paul turned his head to the barman and asked him in Japanese.
"Do you know English?" the barman slightly nodded, "See, he knows English, he will be your company this time." the man only growled something and sat onto the chair, that it was possible to see how the chair was about to crack under man's weight.
"What are you staring at?!" the man exclaimed, "Pour me some your best belly wash." as he said, the barman took some bottle and started to pour its contents into the new glass that was already on the counter.
Paul and Kuro went to the far table that was empty. The waitress came to them, and took their orders, and quickly took conge. "Well, how are you? Are still working as a Taimanin?" Paul started to ask Kuro.
"Yes." the bald man said with a slight smile, "And I'm fine, still lots of work and even don't know how to start it." Kuro referred, "And what about you? Are you still a mercenary?"
"Yeah, something like this…" Paul said and they heard the voice of the massive person again.
"And you call it a drink?! It's just somewhat swill!"
"I'll find something better." the poor barman whispered, and started to look for something even he didn't know.
"Let me guess." Kuro said, "This is your partner."
"Yes, you're right; I'm assigned to work with this one." Paul said sighing heavily.
"By the way, what are you doing in Japan?" Kuro asked the man in the green vest, "Let me guess again, you're here because of that criminal organization, aren't you?"
"So, did he tell you?" Paul asked the blind man.
The girl appeared unexpectedly, she put they orders onto their table. She put one glass of bear to Paul and three glasses of whisky to Kuro. She smiled to them and Paul lowered his glasses and gave her a wink. The woman left them alone and went to another table.
"Who told it to me?" Kuro didn't understand what the man meant.
"Did you forget Avalanche?" Paul said, making a sip out of his glass.
Kuro started to understand what the man was meaning, "From what period of time do you work for 'Red Division'?"
"Well, I've been working for them for two years I guess." Paul said counting.
"I thought that you are a lone wolf, always work for yourself." Kuro said emptying the half of the first glass.
"The world started to change for lone mercenaries." Paul said with serious voice and Kuro strained his ears and started to listen to his interlocutor very attentively. "And to change very quickly. All famous bounty hunters and mercenaries started to join different organizations or even try to create their own."
"And you also received many invitations." Kuro knew that Paul is a strong person that and at the same time smart and good in robot technology.
"You're right." the man smiled, "I've even received an invitation from 'The Third Law'."
"What?" Kuro was surprised hearing this, his face became serious he tried to calm himself, but knowing this information, it was pretty difficult to do so, "And did you reject it?"
"Honestly, I thought to join them, because they gave me a lot of facilities and opportunities in creation robots, however at the same time I was found by 'Red Division'." Paul did another sip of his beer and continued, "Their leader came to me personally, and offered to join them, he offered me the same, but at the same time he told me something about those guys." he looked at massive guy, who was drinking something and was also talking with the barman, who seems stopped to fear the big man, and continued, "I don't know is this information secret or no, but you know nothing."
"Don't worry; I'll be dumb as an oyster." Kuro referred him.
"Not so long they also were just a mere bunch of mercenaries who did every sort of work, not even thinking that it's absolutely dirty. Then they suddenly started to gain an authority especially in the USA. No one still knows how they did it. There're also some gossips that they were working with demons, indeed it's absolutely clear."
"They started to recruit strong people who had special abilities, just like you." Paul pointed at Kuro, "And I know that you've already met some of them."
"Yes, I met a man with mental abilities, who was fighting with a cane sword, and two other men with wind and fire abilities."
"I think that you've already received some data about their members." Kuro nodded and the man continued, "These ones were Przemislav Wojciechowski, Mystic and candle Torch."
"Two last are only nicknames, am I right?"
"Yes, their identities are unknown to us." the man did several sips and emptied his glass, he ordered another one and when the waitress brought him another glass of beer he continued, "This organization have real monsters too." Kuro prepared himself to hear something new, "Etienne Richar is one of those monsters."
"Do you mean that French scientist form the report?"
"Yes, I think you've heard that it's pretty difficult to call him a human, because he modified his body a lot, but the main thing is that he is a perfect torturer, he likes to see how his victims suffer in pleasure and agony."
"I see that you know quite a lot about them." Kuro said and drank the second glass.
"After all, the membership in 'Red Division' gives lots of opportunities and knowledge." the man un a vest smirked.
"But what they're doing in Japan?"
"I don't know." Paul said sincerely, "Our commander tells nothing about it, especially to devoted members."
"Devoted?"
"Yes, only strong and loyal people receive an emblem of our organization."
"So that kid and that cyborg are devoted members, huh?" Kuro was surprised that the kid and the cyborg that were fighting his sister and three young hunters at the same time were so strong.
"And what about you?" Kuro interested was his friend a devoted member or not.
"I'm not." he said honestly, "I'm not interested in it; however I equaled to devoted ones." he looked at his arm where were watches and said, "Well we must go, our break is over." he drank his glass at a heat and got up it was a nice to talk with you baldy, "I hope that the next time we meet we'll be able to talk better."
"Yes then, I'll go too." he drank the third glass. They shook their hands and said suddenly, "By the way, if we meet during our mission call me Mechanic."
"Got it." Kuro said and Mechanic went to his partner.
"Again working late Hayasi-san." the woman said to the man who was sitting at his working place. The man had short black hair, and the same black eyes. He was watching some documents and writing in something at the same time.
"Oh, you're going home, Nagata-san." the man pulled his head away from the papers and saw a woman with fair hair, and bright red eyes, she also had glasses. The woman was pretty and cute, and a lot of man tried to get her attention, however Hayasi wasn't in their number, "I still have some work to do."
"You know." the woman said putting her jacket on, "It's too dangerous to overwork, I've heard that people who always overwork have a lot of problems with health."
"Nonsense, Nagata-san." the man in black official suit waved aside, "You should tell this to those who hates their work."
"So, you want to tell that you like to sit in front of documents?" Nagata raised her eyebrow, "I've never met people who really liked their work."
"Well, ot seems that you met one." the man smiled.
"Maybe you need a help." The woman came closer to man's working place.
"No there's no need in it, I will do it myself. You should go home; I think your children miss her."
"Well if you think that you really will be able to it alone, and then I'll go." the woman open her bag took a telephone and after some clicks she waved to the man and left the office.
"Well, let's see this one." the man took another paper and started to read it. The man was reading one paper after another one for a long time, his eyes quickly ran by the sheets, but suddenly he heard a knock at the door. He looked at the door, and then at the clocks that were on the wall it was half past nine, 'Who it can be in such late hour?' the man thought and then he heard another knock, "Come in!" he merely said, and the door was opened. A pretty fat person with brown hair was standing in the door way. He was wearing the same black suit and white shirt and also there was red tie with white stripes on his neck, "I'm glad to see that you're still here Hayasi-san." the man said.
"Yazaki-san." the politician said, "His voice became cold and serious, "What did you want at such late our?"
Yazaki entered the office and closed the door, he came to the chair that was near with the work table of Hayasi and sat onto it. "Can't I come to my friend and just have a nice talk?" the fat man said with a grin.
"Since when we became friend, Yazaki-san?" Hayasi asked the man, however it was just a rhetorical question.
"Hm, always too serious and suspicious." the man said, "That trait I like in you Hayasi."
"I guess that you came here at this time not just to praise me, didn't you?" Hayasi became cautions, he didn't like where the fat one was driving at.
"Indeed, not for this." the man did a pause and then continued, "Recently, I'd knew that someone started to dig and delve under me, and I'd like to know who it could be."
The man returned to his papers and said, "And you think that it's me, am I right?"
"Firstly I thought that it could be you, Hayasi-san." the man nodded, "But later I started to doubt in it, because nothing there's still any information about me in media."
"Interesting conclusion." Hayasi noticed, "Then who, as you think, could spy after you?"
"I think that it could be someone from the government, but still I think that it also could be you." the man grinned and continued, "After all being an inconspicuous politician is your hobby."
"Have you any evidence of my presence or even being notice in some act against you Yazaki-san?" the thin politician said to the fat one.
"Right now I haven't got them, but you know that I caught you once behind this case, and I think you know what will happen if I catch you again." Hayasi gulped, "I hope that you won't repeat the same mistake."
"Don't worry I remember your threats." the man said putting the paper he was holding onto the table and added, "I remember what people stand behind you, so there's no need to worry about me."
"I hope that you're right…" Yazaki wasn't able to finish his speech, because of Hayasi's one.
"Here." he said after he took another paper, form his table and stretched to the fat politician.
"What is it?" the man asked the thin politician.
"It's the list of politicians who could interest in your activity; I think it'll be interesting to you."
Yazaki grabbed the list and widened his eyes, "Are you sure that these ones could be the ones who are interested in my deals?"
"I'm not sure, but still it would be good to check them." Hayasi answered, "There are even several pro governmental people."
"I noticed it." the man looked at the paper for a bit more, and then put it into the inside pocket of his jacket and then got up from the chair, "Well if you think that it could be them then I'll check them first."
"Are you going already?" Hayasi was surprised a bit, "I thought that you'd have a cup of tea with me."
"Maybe next time." the fat man said and then turned to Hayasi and then said with a serious face, "Pray that it's not you, but someone of them, because you know what will happen with you if it is you." Yazaki said and then left the office.
Hayasi breathed out, 'Phew, it's good that I prepared this paper, with ones who have spite against him. This idiot will check all of them thoroughly. It seems that this time I will not be able to hole up quietly.' He took a telephone out of his trousers and thought again, 'It seems that I'll accept your offer after all.' he made sure that he was alone and started to click in his telephone then he put his phone to the ear and said, "We have to meet."
