Chapter 20
"Man, it was difficult to fight sis along with that shrimp and Hush." Archon said to Mystic, who sat next to him onto the ridge if the building, "Especially when Avalanche came to help them."
"The two of us had more troubles with Hush and Avalanche rather than with Maria with her companion." Mystic replied him and looked at two appeared persons, "Did you two find anything?"
"No." Etienne shook with his head, "We didn't our doctor couldn't find anything."
"Gdyby tylko1… I could have more time, I would find anything." Przemislav said watching at the French scientist.
"How about to use Naomi and Miyata?" Etienne looked at Mystic, "These two have lots of days off recently, don't you think so?"
"Right now, it's not necessary." they heard voice behind them, "Our primal task is to find the seal, and only then Celine will bring the here."
"You zawsze2 know when to appear." Wojciechowski said as he saw Walter, "How was bitwa3 with Igawa?"
"More interesting, since there were more hunters this time." Walter replied, "But still, I decided to leave the best for later."
"Like always." Etienne smirked and came to the man, "By the way, where is Torch with those twins? I thought they should do some experiment on the boy?"
"Everything will be done, but not now." Walter replied him, "Right now, they're killing demons, I want him to be attached to them. I want to see, what will happen when his friends will be in danger."
"Kiepski pomysł4." Przemislav replied with a serious voice.
"But still practical." Walter grinned and with that grin almost all of presenters flinched, "Will continue our waiting, if not the position of stars, the seal would been found."
"What do you mean?" Archon asked the man being pondered.
"The time, when demons become strong." Walter answered him, "It's the period when demons can be more powerful than they usually are."
"And what about people with demonic abilities?" Walter was asked by Etienne, "Will we and Taimanin be stronger?"
"No, you have human's blood, so you'll have nothing to empower." Walter explained.
"And… what about the seal? Why couldn't we find it? I thought it's stworzenie ludzkie5." the Polish said.
"It's the work of elves, to be honest." Walter responded, "Which humans also helped to improve."
"Helped?" Archon looked at the vampire lord.
"Yes, but that's not important, because when you break the last one, you'll get what you were promised." Walter said looking at them, "I hope you still remember your prize when everything is done."
Everyone nodded, and then looked at Walter, who now was watching at the horizon of Yomihara.
"It's appearing again." Walter frowned, "The energy of the seal hasn't disappeared completely."
"Do you think Tardis will be able to find it?" Mystic asked the man.
"No, but still he'll investigate the area, and tell about moving of Taimanin." Walter answered, "I don't want them to interfere in the process in such unexpected way.
"Then why not to take our demons too?" Archon got up and slowly came to Walter.
"I'm afraid; they won't be as well protected as Tardis." Walter said, "Tardis is a noble demon, while the others along with Tiradex are just ordinary ones."
"Then, co zamierzamy6… what we're going to do?" Przemislav corrected himself.
"Difficult to say." Walter pondered, "Right now, we're only to wait, I and Celine will look around and if we find something, we'll inform you."
"I have a question." Walter heard Mystic's voice, "What shall we do with Asagi? Will you fight her personally?"
"Yes, if anyone encounters her, let me now it, I want to check something." Walter grinned, "Will she be able to fight against her?" then Walter covered himself with his tunic and disappeared.
"How I hate him." Archon spitted, "Always does everything what he want, how we're going to fight other Taimanin in such big number? Especially if 'Red Division' is with them."
"We're going to take others." Mystic got up, "Miyata and Naomi along with Torch and the other in their company. I think Celine will bring them here."
Suddenly the phone rang somewhere, Archon and Mystic looked at Przemislav, who was taking out the phone.
"Tak7?" the Polish said, "Nie… I'm busy right now." the Polish replied to someone, "Well, I'll think of coś8… something, and recall." then he returned his telephone in the pocket of his battle uniform.
"Who was that?" Archon looked at him with strange glance as if he was really interested in that but still somehow tried to hide it.
"Our political comrade." Przemislav said in Russian to them, "He wanted me to come to him and give further parting words of his next moves."
"Could he create the party that fast?" Mystic asked.
"Yes, he informed the unity between three of the main parties was done and the program was examined, but he wants to know how to make the program better for Japan."
"As if you know anything about it." Archon smirked.
"My friend policy is just a grand field for psychiatrics, people minds are so easy to understand from time to time, so my help can be very valuable." the former doctor replied with a chuckle.
"It's psychology." Mystic corrected him.
"Psychology or psychiatrics it doesn't matter, the subjects are very similar, one studies the attitude of people and the other one their diseases."
"Please, shut him." Archon looked with pleading eyes at the chief of his squad.
"Let's go back to the shelter, I'm to discuss with Naomi about our strategy." Mystic got up and jumped onto another building, and Archon with Wojciechowski followed him stopping their talk.
"Celine, you've back!" Stephanie was glad seeing her savior, "Are you alright? Haven't you hurt anything?"
"No… only helped to comrades." Celine replied to her and slowly went out of the dark lane to the well-lit street, "And you?"
"I'm fine too." the woman nodded and followed her, "Did you do what you wanted?"
"No…" the armored woman shook with her head, "Next time… will be found…"
"I hope you'll do that." Stephanie was sorry for asking Celine that much, but still decided to change the theme, "By the way, do you want to eat something, I've heard there is a good bar, near so if you want we could…" the woman stumbled.
"Don't mind." Celine exhaled cold stream.
Then they slowly walked by the street talking with each other a little. Stephanie said what they could eat and drink there in order to restore powers, while Celine only nodded, and replied with brief words and phrases.
'The demons… normal again…" Celine thought, 'Power of seal… weaker now… the phases of stars and planted disturbs a lot…'
"By the way, when will you make that thing you were talking about?" Stephanie asked the armored woman, "I can't wait starting to help you."
"Soon..." Celine nodded, "Eight days… and everything… is done…"
"Understood." Stephanie smiled.
Suddenly Celine stopped and grabbed the woman next to her and hid behind the corner of some building.
"What is…?!" Stephanie couldn't finish her question as a cold metal glove closed her mouth.
Celine looked out of the corner, 'Taimanin… Mystic and Archon… fought…' Celine thought examining Maria and Ilya, who entered some building, where was the signboard 'Drunken ork', "What place… talked about?" Celine looked at the woman.
"Well, 'Drunken ork'. I've heard it's a good place where you can drink and have a snack."
'Needed place… possibly?' Celine exhaled a cold stream, "Can do something…" Celine did a pause, "Important… for me…"
"Of course." Stephanie nodded, "Everything, what I can do."
"Taimanin… fought my allies… now there… want to know what they plan." Celine tried to explain, but in a hurry the words were difficult to combine for her in a proper positions.
"I see." Stephanie replied seeing Celine wanted add something else, "But I don't have money, how will I pay for the eating without you?"
Celine lowered her head, but then took out some little sack, "Asked Mystic to give that… money for you to eat if I not near…"
The woman with wheat hair opened the sack and saw several banknotes, which were rolled with elastic.
"Wow! So much money!" Stephanie was surprised, but Celine shut her mouth again.
"Must be careful… don't want to be found out…"
"Don't worry, I'll do everything secretly." the woman in the cloak replied, and went to the bar she was talking about and where now where Taimanin Celine encountered.
Stephanie was worried as she was scared to do something stupid or not careful, she clapped her cheeks, and whispered.
"No, I won't fail."
She entered the bar and saw a cosy atmosphere in it. The place seemed stylish and well furnished. There were lots of tables and almost all of them were busy. She saw a place which was free, it wasn't far from counter and it allowed observing the place perfectly, but then she saw two strange person, one of them was low girl in a Taimanin uniform and the other one had a spear on her back, and was wearing a strange, but practical uniform.
'Maybe they're the ones Celine saw?' Stephanie looked at the two female Taimanin.
She wanted to go after them, but saw another woman, in a purple suit with opened shoulders, and suddenly stopped. She took a free place next to the bar counter and quickly called the barwoman. She had a uniform of a housemaid, she had a gentle appearance and a kind smile on her face. Her uniform had a low neck, what gave an opportunity to see a middle of her not little breasts. She had short brown hair and green lime eyes.
"What would you like to eat?" the barwoman asked Stephanie energetically.
"Oh, do you provide tea or something like that?" Stephanie looked at the woman with a smile too.
"What a strange you are." the woman chuckled, "People come to the bar to drink and relax, but not for drinking tea."
"I'm on a work, so I'm just to drink something and have a little snack." Stephanie glanced at the door where the Taimanin were.
"Miss, black or green? Which one would you like?" the woman that seemed as a teen narrowed her face to Stephanie's one.
"Oh, sorry, green please." the woman with wheat hair nodded, "Can I have some cookies or chocolate too?"
"You're really a weirdo." the women chuckled again and left the bar counter, then she entered the door on its right.
'Interesting, what are they talking about?' Stephanie pondered and then saw a bald man in sun glasses, in a company of two women one had fair hair and white and blue uniform with some coat above it, while the other one had green hair and purple uniform, 'Are they with those two?' she looked at the people who went out of the place the other two entered not long ago.
"Never saw Asagi like that." Ayame said to those two, "Could just one man scare her like that?"
"I've told you about him, Ayame." Kurenai replied to the woman, "This man we fought was really strong, even the four of us couldn't defeat him."
"Even with Captain herself and Commander of 'Red Division', we could harm him." Kuro joined their talk, "I don't want to say, but right now he is the most powerful demon I know."
"Man, first NOMAD, Incubus faction, now Yukikaze and Tatsurou's disappearance and those strange guys." Kurenai rubbed her nasal bridge, "Even Yatsu and Maria say about some guy in white armor."
'Celine?' Stephanie could hear their talk.
"I still can't understand what we've face with the coming of these Russians." Ayame said with a pause, they came to the bar counter and she added, "Can't wait to know at least something about this guy with armor, we fought."
"Where is Guinevere?" Kurenai watched at the empty working place, "I thought it's her turn to work today."
"She went to bring me some tea." Stephanie replied not wanting to give troubles to the barwoman, "I'm not drinking alcohol, but haring about this place, I decided to see it myself."
"And you're…" Kurenai watched at the woman, "I'm Stephanie."
They saw a barwoman that left out of the door holding a cup of tea and a bowl of cookies with chocolates.
"Oh, it's you guys." she said to the trio of Taimanin, "Would you like something?"
"Like always." Kuro said to the woman.
She quickly put the cup and the bowl to the woman, and returned at the counter, and then took a bottle from the stand and stretched it to the man.
"Here." she said with a smile, and saw how they left the room.
The interesting thing was that only from Stephanie's place was seen their complete way. The woman did a sip of her tea and pondered.
'So they are talking about Celine. Shall I tell her that?' Stephanie did a bit of a cookie, 'No, I'm to try to sneak there somehow, I can't leave without nothing. But what if they find me? Celine won't be able to save me from here or will? I don't know what I should do!' Stephanie had a storm of thought in her head, 'This woman, is she working for them?' Stephanie continued her pondering again and again.
Little by little Stephanie drank her tea, got up, bowed to the woman, and took out some banknote in order to pay for her peculiar order. She left the bar and headed to the corner.
"Found anything…?" Celine asked as she saw her guide.
"Yes, they're discussing you, and as I guess your partner too." Stephanie answered her quickly, "I wanted to try to sneak into further inside the building, but didn't find the way, I think the bar woman is working for them."
"No need…" Celine replied, "No nothing about us… Early to show in full power…"
"So, did I do everything right?" Stephanie didn't know what to do rejoice or be sorrow.
Celine nodded, "Must go… must check some place…" Celine took the hand of her guide and a block of ice covered them, and then cracked making them disappear.
"So, this demon you fought is that demon lord from our old fairy tales?" Maria looked at Asagi with puzzled glance.
"In brief words I think so." Asagi sat into the armchair, and looked at two Russian hunters, who were sitting together, "So I call you in order to know your point of view, do you belive in such thing or not."
"Can, I ask you?" Maria asked Asagi, "Did you ask someone to tell you this fairy tales?"
"I've asked Pavel to do that." Asagi nodded, "And he told me one about ten demon lords of three lines."
"I see." Maria pondered.
"So you want to say we're going to face these guys?" Ilya looked with surprise at Maria.
"Early to say that." Asagi frowned, "I don't know who this guy is, but he is really strong. I have another question." Asagi looked at Murasaki who was sitting next to her in the near armchair, "Did you remember the person, who supported our enemies in retreating?"
"Well, he had white armor and, as I understood, he used the power of ice." Maria explained, "He covered with ice himself and the others."
"Did he use any ice weapon?" Murasaki joined the conversation.
"No, he only came and took my brother and Mystic." Maria shook with her head.
"I had encountered someone like that before." this time Murasaki pondered, "And he was really strong we barely could fight him with Naomi, Miyata and Kamiko." Murasaki squeezed her fists tighter.
"Could it be possible that they have already showed them in Japan before?" Ilya asked the woman.
"Difficult question." Asagi replied seeing as the door was opened and three other persons returned, "However, I've never met this man before, and I can say for sure, he is much stronger than Edwin black himself."
"Sensei." Ilya suddenly said with a lowered voice, "I know it's a stupid question, but why not to ask him about it?"
'Whom?" Asagi asked the boy.
"Black, I mean." Ilya added after a pause.
"Are you serious?!" Murasaki hit the table with her fist, "To ask one demon to tell us about the other one? We never work with a scum like Black!"
"Murasaki." Kuro said to his sister, "Calm down, we're here to rest for some time."
"Sorry." Murasaki understood she did an extra thing and returned her casual expression.
"The idea is not bad." Kuro continued, "But we can't be sure they're enemies and don't work with each other. We can't make stupid mistakes now, as it can cost us dearly."
"I understand, but…" Ilya's eyes lit, "Captain! Maybe we could ask some information on these guys?"
"I don't think so." Maria looked at her countryman, "These two are not noted in the dossier on 'The Third Law', so I don't think our superiors have needed information."
"Maria, do you know some other legends about these demon lords?" Asagi asked the woman again.
"I'm sorry, but I was never interested in them." Maria shook with her head and looked at Ilya.
"Me too." the replied.
"If you want you still can ask Pavel." Maria answered, "It may not be seen, but he knows them quite well, though his mark in literature was really poor."
"He is quite peculiar." Asagi chuckled all of sudden, "I don't see that he is as you tell about him."
"That's because he has someone for whom he is doing his best." Maria slightly smiled, "And I'm glad he could find it here."
"Can I ask you something?" Maria was asked by Murasaki this time, Maria nodded, "I still remember how Ren reacted on seeing him for the first time. How was that you were in the same place where she was?"
"He was with Oleg." Maria answered fairly, "I was with this one." Maria pointed at the boy.
"Captain! Can you, please, not call me one! I never like it." the boy playfully pouted his cheeks.
"I see." Murasaki seemed satisfied with the answer.
"There's also one thing that bothers me." Kurenai suddenly said, "Could the guys we've met know about these demon lords?"
"You mean 'Red Division'?" Kuro asked her wanting to know directly whom she was talking about, Kurenai nodded.
"I don't doubt the do." Murasaki said, "After all we always meet them when we face these criminals."
"I'm not sure, but I think so too." Asagi joined Murasaki's side, "After all, they should have some idea on the identity of those guys and the seal we are trying to protect."
"Protecting that we don't know at all." Ayame sighed heavily, "We're still to capture at least one of them and know what happened to Yukikaze and Tatsurou."
"Forgot about it!" Asagi clapped herself for her forehead, "When you told me about that Walter, I lost everything and was in a rush to help."
"Good thing you didn't take Rinko here." Kurenai said, "I don't know what she would do here."
"We're to capture at least one of them and bring him here at any cost." Murasaki said crossing her hands on under her breast, "And this time we're to fight them much better in order to deal with them once and for all."
"Easy to say." Asagi sighed this time, "Have a rest, and later we'll continue our investigation." everyone nodded, but still continued chatting, while Kuro decided to have a drink.
"Phew this one was the last." Torch as his leg crushed the head of some demon that was in front of him.
"That was quite difficult." Azumi returned her short dagger, back into the sheath, "If not your Idea Izumi we would be done here."
"We only would have more troubles." the other twin replied to the first one.
"Still, with that we could finish faster." Torch chuckled, "How are you?" he turned to the boy with a trident, "Didn't you hurt anything?"
"No, I'm fine." the boy replied, "Tired a little of course, but still fine."
"Nice to hear." Izumi came to him, "Your skills became really impressive."
"Do you think so?" he looked at her with a pleading glance, as he wanted her to praise him more.
"According with the beginning…' Izumi looked at him with a mysterious grin.
"Come on tell me!" the boy asked the girl to tell him the truth about his skills.
"Come on girls." Torch fixed his mask, "To our primal position, "We must to report Walter about our result."
The girls nodded and jumped from one building to another one.
"Hey, Torch." Azumi called Arthur by his nickname, "I wanted to ask you, should we really to work with this scary guy? I don't want to say anything bad about him, but he is really scary."
"I also wanted to ask this, by the way, sis." Izumi looked at the girl with a blue scarf.
"Don't want to say, but we must obey him." Torch replied with a serious voice, "To tell the truth, he is the only one, whom I'm scared to fail." Torch even flinched after these words.
"So is he your leader or what? I still can't understand." Izumi asked him again fixing her green scarf.
"He is not." the boy answered for him, "He is somewhat of an extra aid with Celine."
"The person with armor?" Azumi looked at Torch this time, the boy only nodded.
Their way continued for a long time, but after twenty minutes they suddenly stopped.
"Finally, I've started to become tried a little." Torch exhaled in order to catch his breath.
"How we should call him?" Izumi asked Torch with strange note in her voice, "Shall we shout something or what?"
"It's after him." Torch nodded at the boy, "Call him." the boy nodded, and closed his eyes.
"Master Walter…" he said out loud, "We've finished our work, come and to know the result." The boy opened his eyes and looked around.
"Maybe he is busy?" Azumi looked around too, but then flinched as she saw a person in white metal armor, "Wow!" she even prepared her blade, because of scaring.
"Celine." Torch looked at the armored woman, "Please, I hate when Walter do so, don't be like him."
"Take this… in mind…" Celine exhaled a cold stream.
"Mistress Celine." the boy said, "Has something happened, I thought you won't come."
"Walter… busy… me instead him…" Celine only replied, "Report…"
"Well, we cleaned the place as we were told." Torch decided to take the floor, "It was better protected then it was told, but still everything is done."
"Result…" Celine was watching at him intently.
"He was able to fight demons alone." Torch put his hand onto the shoulder of the boy, "But, of course, he needed some help as he could lose."
"Nothing strange…?" Celine asked him again.
"No, just a mere fight." Torch pondered.
"You… go to Yomihara…" Celine exhaled, "Must aid to others… The boy… must fight Taimanin with you…"
"I'm sorry but I don't think he is ready to fight skillful opponents." Izumi didn't let Torch to answer, "He won't be able to handle them, I don't think even we'll be in time to help him."
"Izumi…" the boy whispered glancing at her.
"Want to dispute…? Can call Walter…" Celine watched at the girl making her flinching, "Don't think… you want that…" Izumi only gulped, Azumi was watching at her sister, who was scared to say even a single word, "Now… depart there… have business too…" Celine then exhaled a cold stream and the group disappeared in it.
Pavel left the swimming pool after half and an hour after Ren's leaving. The boy was lying in the water and was floating in the pool thinking about Ren. Then he decided to leave, as people started to came and his thoughts were disturbed.
He quickly reached the dressing room wiped himself, and headed outside of it. The boy now was wandering by the some sort of park, which was similar to some wood.
'Man, Ren finally started to treat me better.' he chuckled, 'Maybe, I should try to call her on a date or something like that?' the boy continued to ponder, 'No, first thing is to play a couple with Masami in front of my family. However…' he stumbled, 'I feel a little messy using her for that. And if Ren agree to start dating, what I'm going to say them? Sorry, I decided to present you some girl, because I wasn't sure this one will accept me?' the boy looked at the sky, 'Man, I've really done a stupid thing.' he sighed, 'But still, I must admit Masami is a beautiful girl too, she is more elegant that Ren in some ways and her style is much more smooth that Ren's so…' he suddenly stopped, 'Wait! Ren, I must concentrate on that tanned angel, but still I can't stop thinking about Masami too.'
Pavel continued his pondered and flinched as something touched his shoulder.
"Ah?!" he exclaimed because of expectance.
"Sorry, didn't want to frighten." he heard a soft voice behind him, he turned around and saw agirl with curly brownish hair.
"Oh, Masami, please don't do that again." Pavel smiled to her, "Ready for training?"
"If you want we can set aside it for today, after all you had…"
"No, if we've started we must not stop!" Pavel interrupted her.
"Okay…" Masami's eyes were widened in amusement because of his fast answer, "What will we practice today?"
"I think both, physically and mentally." Pavel answered her, "How will it be beter for you with wooden weapon or with real ones?"
"With wooden." Masami responded, she did a pause and then added, "By the way, what about your family? How will you present me them?"
"Well, I thought to say, that's my girlfriend Masami, please meet and love her." Pavel answered her fairly.
"I wouldn't do that." Masami looked at him, "For me it's ridiculous."
"Why?" Pavel looked at her with an easy readable puzzlement.
"You never presented a girlfriend to parent?" Masami asked him.
"No, after all, I've never had a girlfriend." the boy itched the back of his head nervously.
"You're to let me present myself." Masami responded him, "When they see an energetic girl that takes everything in her hands, they'll be glad to that."
"Do you really think so?" Pavel raised an eyebrow.
"Well, I've already had something like that with…" Masami stumbled for a second.
"Well, I'm glad that I can rely on you in this." Pavel felt Masami's mood and quickly decided to change the theme of their talk, "After all, I hope you won't be difficult on me today."
"If you decided to train then we're to use all our powers." Masami didn't like such attitude, but still smiled appreciating in mind that Pavel understood her state, "And what about mental practice? Meditation?"
"Well I want to practice one thing." Pavel said with an unsure voice, "Of course we'll try it if you don't mind, I don't want to…"
"I don't mind." Masami answered him, "You always did only good for me, so I don't think you'll harm me all of sudden."
"Here you're right." Pavel smiled, "I'd never dare to harm my friends."
They continued their way to the training rooms where they had already practiced. Firstly they changed their clothes and then took wooden weapons; Masami took the one that reminded her spear, while Pavel took something that reminded a European sword. They both stood in front of each other and with a smile Pavel decided to encourage Masami.
"The first time to strike is yours today."
Masami nodded and rushed to him fast.
"Wow!" Pavel could react in time and dodge her direct lunge and then quickly parried the other strike, "I thought you'll give some time to warm up."
"As I've told, we're to use all our powers." Masami chuckled and attacked the boy again.
"It seems I'm to become a little serious." Pavel chuckled too, and started to block one strike after another still thinking when to strike, 'Man, I still can't get used to fight her with wooden weapons. She is really a dangerous opponent.'
Pavel jumped away in order to overthink the situation, but Masami quickly followed him in order to prevent such opportunity. Pavel tried to dodge all her strikes and think of something.
'Well I have no other chance, but do this, maybe it'll be useful?'
Pavel threw his wood en sword into the air, that made Masami to surprise, he quickly ran to her and grabbed for her hand, and then could threw her over himself.
Masami fall onto the floor losing her weapon, she raised her head and saw how Pavel was coming to her.
"Sorry, I didn't want to…" he wanted to give her a hand, but the girl quickly jumped at hit his legs with her own leg, "Damn!" he exclaimed as he fell down.
"That was really amazing." Masami sat next to him, letting the boy to get up, "I've never saw you using a feint like that."
"Because I rarely use it." Pavel answered, "It's just a feint for one time."
"It'd be stupid to use it against several enemies, I think." Masami replied him.
"That's why I use it rarely." Pavel added getting up.
The boy took his sword and turned around and saw Masami, who was ready to fight again.
"Round two." Pavel chuckled and headed at Masami with a great speed.
"Can't belive the daughter of great Shiranui is my captivity now." Real said with a grin when Yukikaze and Doppel were fixed on the wall with special shackles, what allowed to leave them in a hung position, "Master Kuroi will be glad, when he hear about this." he came to Yukikaze and took the gag out of her mouth.
"Fucking bastard! What did you do to my mom?!" Yukikaze shouted as she could speak again.
"Well, well, the lessons of manners are still to be taught." Real smirked, "However, Shiranui was resistant in the beginning too, but then she became an obedient slave."
"You… piece of a shit! I'll kill when I'm free!" Yukikaze tried to free out of the shackles, but it was impossible, as they were well made.
Then Real came to Doppel and freed her mouth.
"And what about you? Won't you name your…" Real wasn't able to finish as Doppel spitted at him, "You're quite a resisting type." Real squeezed her cheeks, "It'll be really interesting to see how you'll become loyal sluts of proud Taimanin.
"I'll make you eat this damn robe." Doppel gritted threw her teeth, and then received a slap.
"D…" Yukikaze wanted to shout at the man, "Damn bastard!' she shouted at him then.
"You." Real said to the man that who was fixing both huntresses, "Bring me our new drugs, I want to teach them to be polite."
"Yes!" the man replied and left the room.
"How do you think what I'm going to do to you?" Real asked the two huntresses as he came to the computer that was on his right.
"I was tortured so many times, that it's not interesting for me anymore." Doppel smirked, "You're to think something new to amaze me."
"Really?" Real put on a semblance he was surprised, "I didn't know that. However, I belive you'll like the way I work with our captivities." he turned around and added with a chuckle, "I hope you'll be as strong as your mother, Yukikaze, I really don't want to see you broken fast."
Yukikaze squeezed her fists tighter; Doppel looked at her and whispered.
"Everything is fine." Yukikaze looked at the smiled woman and nodded to her.
The man returned with two syringes, he stretched them to Real and the man took them both, he came to them.
"This thing will increase your sensitivity for a lot of percent and using our devices you'll taste their power in full capacity." Real firstly injected the contents into Doppel neck and then at Yukikaze's.
'I hope it won't do anything to Splash.' Doppel thought still pathetically resisting to the torturing.
Little by little bot female started to breath heavily, "Do you feel it?" Real looked at them, "It's just the beginning." he squeezed the nipple of Yukikaze and grinned even worse, "I hope you're ready Yukikaze."
"Don't touch her!" Doppel exclaimed, but then the man hold his finger by her stomach.
"Or what?" he looked at her with a raised eyebrow, "Come, use the helmets." Real commanded to the man.
The man pressed several buttons on the keyboard and the helmets which were above their heads started to low, and then were put onto their heads. Another pressing of the buttons and in no time Yukikaze and Doppel started to exhale and then to moan.
"Let's see how long you will be able to control yourself until crying." Real sat onto the chair and started to enjoy the show.
"Yukikaze!" Doppel moaned, "No matter what…! Don't… Don't give in… to this…!"
"I… I'll try!" Yukikaze exclaimed, but still tried to control herself.
Both of females started to moan louder, but still tried to resist. Yukikaze started to shiver and Doppel started to tremble.
"No! Not here, please!" Yukikaze suddenly exclaimed.
"Yuki… No!" Doppel exclaimed too also curving her spine, "Please, slow down!"
Both of them started to become wet and Real liked that.
"Please… I…" Yukikaze moaned shivering with her limbs.
"You can… do whatever…" Doppel tried to say, but every time she exclaimed, "But… we won't… give ah…!" she moaned cried out.
"Let's see what you say after two hours of such way spending time." Real got up and came to the, he hold his palm against their preciouses, and smirked, "I hope you'll continue singing the same way."
"I hope they won't do anything stupid there, because of you." Commander looked at Drunkard who was staying in front of him, "You know, I'm really grew tired of your war tricks and pageants."
"But as I remember they worked well every time." Drunkard fixed his service cap.
"Yes, but they cause us a lot of troubles." Commander grunted, "I even can't remember how we could save our asses out of that factory in Mexico."
"Hah! That was really funny." Drunkard chuckled, "You should to finish these robots faster and everything was perfect."
"Yeah, and if I wouldn't you would blow me there, wouldn't you?" Commander watched at the drinking man angrily.
"Do you mean they can have troubles?" Tatsurou, who was with them didn't like the words of one eyed man.
"Well." he grunted, "Difficult to say, until Splash and Haze are there I don't worry about them."
"I'll also go there to check Haze tomorrow." Drunkard said, "Knowing her she won't lose her time in vain, and start exploring the place."
"I know that too." Commander said, "Most of all, have you thought the plan how you'll escape if something goes wrong?"
"We have no other choice, but to return her mother here." Drunkard said, "Most important for me, is how we're going to treat her? I don't think Taimanin will be able to do that themselves, if she was tortured by the Incubus King."
"My head is aching not for that." Commander snarled, "But for some guy, who proclaimed himself a character form some old fairy tale. This demon lords of the past." he added after a pause.
"Why not to ask Professor about him?" Drunkard took out his flask and did several sips, "I know he won't tell you anything directly, but probably you know something new."
"I think I won't, as I know these legends well." Cyclopes answered him, "And according to them the three of the second line disappeared without a single word."
"I remember the first one was banished or something like that and the six of the third line were defeated." Drunkard replied.
"What are you talking about?" Tatsurou didn't know what the men were talking about.
"Just about another headache which bothers not your comrades, but even us too." Cyclopes stretched his arm and moved with his fingers, Drunkard nodded and threw his flask to his commander, "The guy we're talking about is the strongest pain in the ass, I've ever met."
"What do you mean?" Tatsurou bowed his head.
"Well, do you know Edwin Black?" the boy nodded, "Now imagine a person, who is more powerful by several times."
"There's someone who is much stronger than he is?!" Tatsurou exclaimed.
"You know, from your words, I understand what made them so strong in such short period of time." Drunkard frowned.
"They couldn't become so strong, just because of Mystic." Commander nodded, "And Etienne with Archon won't give a lot of advantages."
"By the way, with whom you fought along with Yukikaze and Teacher?" Commander turned to Tatsurou, "When you met us for the first time, I mean."
"Well, we fought with a man and claws, and a man in the robe. He also could change his arm. As I remember they're form the organization you're talking about." Commander nodded, but couldn't answer anything as Tatsurou continued, "But in the beginning we fought a man in metal silver armor, he also had a cloak."
'So it was that Walter.' Commander frowned.
"He also said that met my mother." Tatsurou said after a pause.
'He even fought Minori?' Commander frowned more than before, 'This man is really an interesting one.' then he decided to ask his young interlocutor, "What he told you about her?" Commander asked him,
"He told she died when he wanted to make a slave out of her." Tatsurou bowed his head and squeezed his fists tighter.
"Your mother disappeared thirteen years ago." Drunkard pondered.
"That means he has already been here." Commander got up.
"Where are you going?" the man in the service cap asked the one with the eye patch.
"I want to find this scaled asshole, he is to answer several questions." Commander said taking his scythe with him, "Or this will pierce his damn ass."
"As if he answers you." Drunkard chuckled, "Just think he can know nothing about Minori, but still he knows about the problems that we have, does he tell you a lot? Just some vague phrases and when he only thinks it's good to say them."
"Then what do you offer?" Commander looked at Drunkard, "Just sit and wait when he wants to talk?"
"Difficult to say." the man in the service coat and such cap said, "For now your squad should concentrate on seals, and ours should do that on Shiranui."
"Sometimes I can't belive that you can give such valuable ideas." Commander chuckled and sat back onto his place, "I thought you and Splash drank all your brains."
"Very funny." Drunkard looked at Tatsurou, who was laughing slightly.
"Phew, that was really hard." Pavel exhaled as the practice decided to be stopped, "If you return back to normal, I won't be able to fight with you, as I won't be able to equal my pace with yours."
"Don't say such things." Masami answered him, "You're good too, you also got me in some moments."
"Well, just because I was only focused on protection." Pavel exhaled again, he stretched his spine and added, "If it was a real battle I would be done."
"You downplay your skills." Masami shook with her head, "Each of us has something to impress our opponents. And as I feel you still hide your true potential." Masami looked at him warmly, "If you would fight in full power you would defeat me, and right now you still suppress your power in order not to hurt me."
"Certainly, you're right but…" Pavel stumbled, "I think you do the same." Pavel confessed, "And you know, you really shouldn't do that." Masami looked at him with astonished eyes, "I mean, if you try to fight harder, you'll be able to restore your skills faster."
"How about to start metal practice?" Masami fixed the curl which was now on her face.
"Yes." Pavel sat onto the floor and saw as Masami did the same, "Give me your hands, please. Maria Sergeievna told me about such therapy, but there was no chance to try it."
"Okay, do what is needed." Masami nodded.
Pavel nodded and pressed his forehead against hers. He closed her eyes, and started to talk calmly soft and pleasant words, in order to calm Masami.
"Right now, you're on the battle field." Pavel whispered suddenly, "You see several orks around you." he felt how her hands squeezed his, "No need to worry, everyone is by your side, Ren, Aki, Maki, Mai and me." he did a pause, "We're always next to you to protect you and no matter what you can rely on us and help you to kill these demons." Masami gulped, but nodded, "Do you allow us to help you and kill those demons?" Masami trembled, but nodded, Pavel smiled, "And we'll do that." Pavel replied her softly.
They stayed in such position for ten or so minutes, when they suddenly heard some noise out of the room. Pavel turned his head and said, "Guys, if you wanted to see the training you could just ask."
"I've told he will hear you." there was Aki's voice, "Sorry for that." Aki went out of the corner, "But we suddenly saw you."
"Yeah, we didn't want to do anything bad." Maki said too as she joined Aki, "So that's how you train?" she asked the boy with an interested note.
"It's the part of it." Masami opened her eyes, and looked at the girl with slightly unnerved expression.
"I see." the girl saw that and quickly started to ask Pavel, "Hey Pavel, do you need some help in the training? Or something like that?"
"No, everything is good now." Pavel replied to her, "I'll ask if your help will be needed. Is Ren here too?"
"No, she is having practice with Mai." Aki shook with his head, "We asked her to go with us, but she rejected."
"I see." Pavel was glad that Ren wasn't here with them.
Masami looked at him then at the couple and said, "Well I think that all for today, I hope will continue it tomorrow."
"Ah?" Pavel looked at the girl, "Well, if you want we can continue."
"No, thank you." Masami looked at him, "I planned to take shower now, and then to play the piano for a little." Masami left the room leaving the trio of friends together.
"I told you it's a bad thing to get closer to the corner." Aki lectured Maki, "You're always bad in careful things."
"Hey, as I remember you didn't stop me." Maki looked displeased at her boyfriend.
"I…" Aki tried to think of something in his protection.
"Guys, cool down." Pavel came to them, "She isn't angry." Pavel said to them, "Well, maybe just disappointed, but not angry."
"I hope so." Aki sighed, "By the way, how is she doing?"
"Perfect." Aki heard a respond, "She is doing great, I think Maria Sergeievna will treat her soon."
"Nice to hear." Maki was glad to hear that, "Can't wait to see her fighting others, she will shut lots of dummies."
"Yeah, she's really a strong girl." Pavel replied, "Honestly, I'm also studying while I'm fighting her."
"By the way…" Maki grinned, "Ren or Masami? Whom would you chose?"
"Maki!" Aki and Pavel exclaimed at once.
"Okay, okay!" Maki understood that it'd be better to be calm this time, "Don't want to join us to grab something? Ren will join us too. Double date I guess." then she felt how something softly landed onto her head.
"You never learn that, do you?" Aki sighed, "So?"
"Don't mind at all." Pavel nodded with a smile, "But I have to change first, will you wait?"
"No problems." Aki replied and then saw how Pavel ran out of the room.
"Man, you're so boring sometimes." Maki pouted her cheeks.
"Others relations are not a thing for laughing and joking." Aki stated, "I don't like when Igawa-sensei do it."
Haze was wandering by the floors of Under Eden. Her head was turning form one door to another. She tried to remember the place and to understand how to orient here. She met several humans and demon on her way, but none of them talked to her and she didn't that.
'The place is well, built, I can find some places where I can make traps.' she thought, 'Especially here.' she turned her head to the dark corridor, 'Several seal here and there, and perfect escape is guaranteed.'
She was walking calmly, and not hurrying at all, as she also didn't want to attract unneeded attention. She saw a lot of slaves and prostitutes on her way, who offered her their services, but she rudely rejected them, what made them being scared of her temper.
'Can't belive, I've agreed for that.' she spitted, 'This bastard will recreate here, while I'll be working.' she angrily looked at another slave, 'I'll get him for this, when I see him.'
"Hey dear." Haze heard a voice behind her, "You seem stressed, don't want to relax?"
"I don't want." Haze looked at the woman with cat ears and an artificial tail, she was quite cute and even hot in this attire.
"Come on, all who have plays with me, become kinder." the woman purred, "Even you'll relax and have a better mood."
"What is incomprehensible to you?" Haze looked at her with angry glare.
"No need to be so tensed and furious." The woman laid her hand onto Haze shoulder and the other one onto her lower part of her stomach.
"If the customer says he doesn't want that means she doesn't want." they heard a male voice behind them.
Both of women turned around and saw a tanned man with white hair, who was wearing black official suit and a white shirt under it, which was unbuttoned on the collar. The face of them man was calm and strict as he was entirely emotionless.
"Master Kuroi!" the woman flinched, 'I'm meant nothing bad at all."
Haze didn't like what she'd just heard. She flinched too, but could hide the sense of unexpected fear.
"And what about you? I've never seen you here before." Kuroi narrowed his eyes properly examining the woman in front of him
"I'm new here." Haze tried to explain.
"A traitor of Taimanin?" Kuroi continued to examine her not disturbing his eyes from her.
"No, I'm here to make contacts." Haze explained, "I've brought Mizuki Yukikaze and the other Taimanin." Haze decided to tell the truth as she knew who was this person and opposing him would cost her dearly.
"Interesting." Kuroi seemed interested in the woman now, 'Why I don't know about it?"
"I had a talk with Real as I understood he is some principle here, so he allowed me to stay here and get the place better."
"Can I know who wants to work with us?" Kuroi interested.
"The man I'm working for doesn't want to name himself right now, but I think he will contact Real soon." then she added, "Or he should contact you?"
"With Real will be good." Kuroi replied, "He reports everything so if you have questions just ask him." Kuroi was about to leave, but then stopped, "One more thing." he glanced at the woman, "Nice to see you as a part of Incubus faction, I hope will work out, but if not, you always can take their place." he nodded at the prostitute that still was here."
Haze gulped, and when the man left her sight exhaled, and even fall onto the floor.
'Having him around, will give lots of fucking problems I don't want to have.' Haze was still shocked of their meeting, 'I'm to work carefully in order not to expose myself. Maybe along with Drunkard will think of something?'
She got up and walked further, still shaking, the woman that offered her service decided to snap out of Haze and walk further.
Standing in the dark corner she took some ampule out of her skirt and poured its contents into her palm. Then she quickly drew a circle with several letters around it and returned the ampule. Then she quickly reached the toiled at washed her hands, still looking around putting on a semblance she was examining the place as a new person.
"Interesting, has Ren took the queue?" Maki said holding her hands behind her head, "I'm a little hungry and wouldn't like to wait more standing in the queue."
"Here I agree with you." Aki said, "As I think Ren should be there right now."
"Can wait to eat something hot." Maki pondered, "Maybe some rice with chicken?"
"I think it won't be bad." Aki replied her, "By the way, Pavel what will you take?"
Pavel was walking not paying attention to Maki's words, then she decided to clap by his back.
"Earth to Pavel! Are you with us?" Maki asked him again.
"Ah?!" Pavel seemed snapped out of his thoughts, "Yes, just pondered a little." Pavel replied her.
"About?" Maki looked at him.
"Just thought, how to continue our training with Masami, nothing more." the boy answered, "I thought to ask Maria Sergeievna to help when we return, maybe she is ready for treatment."
"And can't you know it by yourself?" Maki asked him.
"I could." Pavel sadly smiled, "If I had mental ability. That's why there should be a good mentor nearby."
"You know a lot about mental abilities." Aki turned to the boy, "It seems you like them a lot."
"Of course I do." Pavel answered him energetically, "After all, Maria Sergeievna is the only teacher who explained everything well, and with her help I could know everything really well."
"And what if you had such powers? What would you do?" Aki asked him again.
"I would ask her to train me." Pavel only replied, "After all, such power is a rarity, so it's good to be unique in something."
"I still can't understand why it's so rare." Maki said, "I remember Vlasova-sensei told something about demons, but our powers have the same origin as hers."
"The problem is mental powers are used only by noble demons." Pavel started explanation, "While ordinary demons can't use them so that's why there only a small amount of people who use them."
"It's like controlling shadows or hyper speed of Igawa-sensei." Aki added in order to make things clear to Maki.
"I see." Maki nodded, "You know, you seem quite well in a role of mentor." Maki chuckled, "I'm not surprise if you and Ren will be teachers in the future."
"Do you think so?" Pavel scratched his cheek.
"Sure." Maki nodded.
"Well, I would deny the thought of being teacher." Pavel raised his head, "Frankly speaking, I want to be as skillful as Oleg Semenovich and Maria Sergeievna. That's the goal I want to fulfill."
"Not a bad one." Aki smiled, "I hope you'll become a really good teacher in the future."
They continued their way until they reached the café. Ren was standing in a queue, and her place was close to the doors, the group quickly found the tanned girl and joined her.
"Hi." Pavel said to her removing his eyes from the girl.
"Yeah." the girl waved him too.
Aki and Maki looked at them with surprised eyes, but still said nothing, Aki even poked Maki at her side in with his elbow in order to say something, but his girlfriend only shrugged with her shoulders.
"Guys." Aki decided to start when they finally could sit at the table, "Have something happened? You didn't say even a single word to each other."
"No, nothing happened." Ren replied him with her casual tone.
"Why did you think so?" Pavel asked him interesting to know the reason of such idea.
"You didn't talk to each other so, maybe, there was something between you two?" Aki continued his thought.
"No, not at all." Ren shook with her head, "I just…" she stumbled, "Thought about what to eat." she thought of a stupid answer.
"The same." Pavel joined Ren's side.
"You two act weirdo." Maki said to them, "Come on tell, what you have on mind, and will help you." she got closer to Ren.
"Nothing to worry." Ren tried to remove Maki, "Let's just order the food." as she said that a waiter came to them and started to take their orders.
"Ren." Pavel suddenly asked her when the waiter left, "Can you help me with something?"
"What is it?" Ren was glad, Pavel finally made their theme changed.
"Just wanted to have some practice with you when we return back tomorrow." Pavel said.
"Why not." Ren replied him, "I also want to practice my new ability. You'll be my punching bag." she chuckled.
"Very funny." Pavel replied her, "I'm envious to you." the boy said with a slight smile, "No you can practice your power, and go ahead, while I will be behind."
"Don't tell such things." Ren didn't like his sad mood, "You're a good fighter and even without special powers you're able to fight strong opponents."
"She is right." Maki joined the side of her friend, "After all you're still developing and maybe tomorrow you'll find your power."
"At the same time, I'm without it too." Aki tried to cheer his Russian friend too, "So we just let ladies to do it first as gentlemen."
"Here, you're right." Pavel was able to become a little merrier, "Who knows what will happen tomorrow."
"That's the spirit." Maki liked such answer.
The food was brought fast, and the students started their meal still talking, about upcoming return and the work they're about to face, 'The Third Law', 'Red Division', and etc. And the only thing that Pavel was thinking was the letter the strange woman gave him, he decided not to read it, until he give it to Asagi and perhaps then he will know what that thing meant.
