Chapter 11
Oleg finished his day, and left the classroom where he had his last lesson.
'To join forces with Black…' Oleg pondered closing the door, 'I think for her it will be really difficult, especially what he did to the boy, who was dear to her and Asagi.' he frowned, 'It's better to make a coalition before going to Shiranui, with a big number it'll be not so difficult task to convince her.' Oleg came to the stairs and started to go upstairs, 'But who, to take? Murasaki is a bad idea, Asagi shouldn't know, Pavel is with us.' Oleg reached the needed floor and headed to the teachers' lounge, 'Maybe I could talk to Ren and her friends, but I have no idea what they will say, maybe they will be as stiff as Asagi. Chikeko is a good choice and probably Takeuti, he isn't like the rest of teachers.' Oleg came to the needed place and opened the door, he looked around and saw several teachers who were working with their papers and journals, he saw only one teacher whom he needed, 'Takeuti is here.' Oleg nodded, 'Now or never.' he took a breath and said coming closer to him, "Hello Takeuti, didn't see you today."
"Ah?" the man in the tracksuit looked at the teacher in the official suit, "Oleg, yeah it's really strange, usually we see each other." the PE teacher smiled, "What is it? You seem thoughtful." Oleg wanted to answer something, "Let me guess, problems with Sakura and Chikeko?"
"Well, kinda." Oleg smiled too and sat next to him, "How about to go and drink something? The working day is over so…" Oleg put on a semblance he pondered.
"I thought you only drink what girls will call." Takeuti looked at him with chuckle.
"Sometimes it's also not bad to drink something." the Russian also looked at his interlocutor, "So?"
"I don't mind." the teacher shrugged with his shoulders and closed the journal.
Both of the headed away of the lounge and slowly walked to the stairs also chatting to each other from time to time.
They left the building of the academy and then went through the sport ground, where Pavel's class still had training. Oleg looked at the class and noticed Sakura, who was commanding what to do, however in a playful form.
"By the way, who do you like more?" Takeuti also looked at the same side, "Don't tell me you like Sakura."
"What you mean by that?" Oleg raised his eyebrow.
"Well, I mean she is Asagi's sister, however she is really childish from time to time. On your place I would focus on Murasaki or Chikeko. The second one can cook instead of Sakura and is more beautiful I think." Takeuti tried to tell his point of view.
"Really?" Oleg stopped and continued to look at Sakura, who now was jumping from the students, who were trying to catch her, "I think vice versa."
"Why?" Takeuti didn't understand him.
"I find her, protective, supporting, cheering." Oleg smiled, while he was naming her good quality, "Of course she is a bad cook, however her first steps on amending it are done. So, it's up to her to change in that." Oleg continued his way, "However, I don't want her to change a lot."
"Wow." his colleague was surprised, "You're the first one who told that about Sakura."
"And I don't regret I told you that." Oleg wasn't confused because of that, "At the same time, she helped me several times, so now I must help her with that what I can do for her."
"And how did she helped you?" Takeuti was interested in that.
"Secret." Oleg merely replied.
They continued their way to the bar. Oleg and Takeuti continued talking, but still Oleg didn't tell the aim of his invitation and decided to leave everything for later. When they were on the place they took some free table, and started to wait for the waitress. When the cute girl came they quickly did their orders and started to wait.
"So, are you dating with Sakura or not?" Takeuti continued his questioning.
"No, but I'm glad with relations we have now." Oleg replied him fast, "But I don't know what to say Chikeko, not hurting her feelings."
"That's really a difficult question. After all you'll break her feelings." Takeuti also pondered, Oleg replied nothing, but suddenly looked at the man, "What is it?"
"I have a serious talk to you." Oleg answered him, "It's up to you to reject or not, but at least listen to me out." Oleg became serious, and Takeuti tensed, but nodded.
Their orders were brought fast and Oleg looked around, they were pretty far from the other tables and decided to start to tell the aim of his calling the PE teacher to drink.
"I think I shouldn't explain that we're having problems with a new organization." Oleg started from afar, Takeuti only nodded, "The problem is that we know absolutely nothing about several members of this organization, and the things which are happening are only leading us to a dead end. We try to fight what we know nothing about." Oleg stopped in order to think what to say further.
"And what do you want from me?" Takeuti asked him seriously too, "I'm not in your squad and I won't be taken to fight them."
"I want to ask you about something." Oleg continued, "What do you think about Edwin Black?" Takeuti flinched, "Do you have some anger or something like that towards him?"
"What do you want to do?" Takeuti did a sip of his beer and looked straight at the Russian.
"I and Sakura have some thoughts to ask him about several direct guys from that organization and some other things that happened not long ago." Oleg announced his idea.
"I think you know what I'll answer." Takeuti said firmly.
"Did you hear about the missing of retired Taimanin?" Oleg asked him again.
"I've heard." the teacher nodded.
"The problem is that neither 'The Third Law' and nor NOMAD is after them." Oleg replied him, "I afraid that it's something more dangerous than just some mere demon."
"Where do you know that from?" Takeuti asked him not stopping being tensed and serious.
"Because I, Shiranui and Sakura with Pavel and Ren faced this demon that is in charge of that." Oleg explained, "This is something like combination of bee or wasp and a human."
"Just some mutant, nothing more." Takeuti replied him.
"Wrong, it's a demon." Oleg shook with his head, "And it can control some black wasps, which I've never seen before." Oleg saw puzzlement on the face of the other teacher so he continued, "These wasps are really strange and dangerous at the same time. I think an ordinary demon wouldn't be able to control them."
"Can I ask you something?" Takeuti interrupted him, "Who gave that idea? You or Sakura?"
"Sakura." Oleg answered honestly, "And I was surprised she offered something like that. She told me about her and Asagi's problems with Black, so it's really hard decision for her." Oleg did a pause and then continued, "Listen, I know it's difficult to agree with that plan, and on your place I would say no, but we need as much person as we only can get."
"Who is with you?" Takeuti asked him again.
"Only Pavel." Oleg sighed, "We want to discuss it with Shiranui, but I offered Sakura to get as much people as we only can for that."
"Knowing you, Akiyama siblings, Yukikaze and the other kids will go with you." the teacher of the PE lesson suddenly smiled.
"I don't know." Oleg didn't share the same emotions, "For these three, I have good thoughts, but about the other students…" Oleg frowned.
"Well, I go the picture." Takeuti did another sip from his glass, "You two do that, because you want to help to all in fighting with those scums. But are you really sure Black will cooperate? He will definitely make some trap and get you all."
"Along with Shiranui and Sakura it'll be difficult for him to take us." Oleg replied and it's depends on the number of who will go with us." Oleg also did a sip, 'For now, I won't tell him about 'Red Division'.' Oleg looked at Takeuti.
"Fine, I'll help you." Takeuti nodded, "If there's someone who is really more dangerous than Black, I'll join you." Oleg nodded, "If Sakura decided to do that all, that means she really has an idea, however in her brain it's impossible to predict it." Oleg only chuckled at these words, "But you need more people."
"I know, do you have ideas, whom to ask?" the teacher of demonic biology asked the man.
"Let me think." Takeuti pondered, "I can advise only Kuro."
"Kuro?" Oleg was surprised, "I decided not to ask him too as Murasaki…"
"They are different." Takeuti interrupted him, "He told he joined forces with Black in order to save Murasaki from some trap. But I don't remember who was in charge of it, and there also was Black's demon in that trap."
"I understood." this time Oleg interrupted him.
"By the way, what about your Russian colleagues? Ilya and Maria." Takeuti offered other candidates.
"I'll try to talk to them, but I don't know what they will answer. Maria is always try to do everything with right, and Ilya is like her son trying to the same, but not showing it." Oleg explained the problem, "I also wanted to ask Chikeko, but…"
"It's a bad idea." Takeuti shook with his, "She was tortured in the past, by Black's scums, and at the same time, Sakura offered that, won't she start an arguing about that with her?"
"Here you're right." Oleg became thoughtful, 'I didn't think about that myself. If that's true she can report about our idea to Asagi and everything is vain.' then he asked him again, "Someone else?"
"It's difficult to give names." Takeuti answered him, "I'll try to think of something, but for you is to talk to Kuro, I think it'll be enough only you there." Takeuti nodded, "Ad for Shiranui, I think she will agree with your idea, you saved her after all."
"I hope you're right." Oleg sighed and then started to eat snacks and to drink his beer.
"Celine, has something happened?" Stephanie asked the woman in the metal armor, who was watching somewhere at the water and in the far of which was an island, "You're watching at the Tokyo Kingdom for some time. Has something happened?"
"Something strange… there…" Celine only answered not disturbing from her activity, "But… familiar…" she added after a while.
"Should we investigate it? I think if you're pondered about it, that must be something significant and…"
"No..." Celine interrupted her subordinate, "Must wait… can't feel it…"
"But what could be there? If only that boy felt that. Does it belong to him?" Stephanie pondered and came a little closer, Celine only nodded, "And what it could be?"
"Of one… inside him…" Celine replied exhaling a cold steam, "Only he… find… thing…"
"Is it a weapon or…"
"Don't know… guess…" Celine replied still thinking about what he was feeling and to whom that voice belonged.
"And Walter…" Celine heard Stephanie's voice again, "Does he know about it?" Celine slightly nodded.
"But… not take action… I… instead…" Celine replied still, and got up, "Must think everything… must find… that strange demon… Tardis told me…" Celine tried to speak fast, but couldn't and missed the words, which could be important in connecting her sentences.
"But where we should start from? And will we do it alone?" Stephanie asked her savior again.
"Tardis… Tiradex… will help…" Celine put her hand onto Stephanie's shoulder and quickly exhaled a cold steam again, but when it was dispelled they were absolutely in another place, "Area… Taimanin were attacked…"
"And what we're looking for?" Stephanie asked the woman in the armor, but was a little shocked, "Celine?"
"What…" Celine asked the girl with a cloak.
Stephanie couldn't belive to her eyes, now in front of her was not an armored woman, but a beautiful lady with black short hair with a rim in them. She had some kind of a jacket and a dress with a big cut which reached her waist. And her legs had also boots, which seemed un matching at all.
"Can do… so…" Celine understood puzzlement of her guide and answered her, "Focus… the clothes… you need…"
Stephanie nodded and then her cloak transformed into jeans and a jacket with crosses.
"Wow…" Stephanie was surprised of the clothes, "Are they real?"
"illusion…" Celine exhaled her steam, "Day time… must not reveal us…." she walked out of the alley then.
Stephanie and Celine left the alley and started to look around. Stephanie decided to have a walk at first as she it was decided to check the place for some abnormal things, which Celine could sense.
'Can't belive, I have a walk with her.' Stephanie looked at the beautiful woman next to her, 'Interesting, what is her real appearance is?' she looked ahead then and continued, 'Is she the same or different?' Stephanie continued to ponder, while Celine tried to focus on needed things.
"Can't belive the plane was landed, in Sofia because of bad weather." Chiba said being irritated, "I thought we'll be in Belgrade today."
"Don't worry, we'll be there today, but a little later than planned." Asano answered to his political colleague leaving the plane, "But still I also hoped it would be so." the sighed then.
"I still can't belive Bulgaria could become the part of Yugoslavia." the woman behind them also announced her thought, "It's really strange for me."
"Our visit here in not in that." Asano replied her seeing the journalists, who were gathering around the plane, "But in making contacts with local party and other ones."
"This everything is up to you." Chiba replied to the man in the gray official suit, "You are the best who can give sweet speeches."
"Nice to meet you!" they suddenly heard a voice in front of them which was talking in English with some accent, when they got down the stairs, "Welcome to Yugoslavia."
It was a man in the suit, which was strange it looked like an official suit, but at the same time it had some military features. The man who greeted them, had scars on his face, he had brown hair and according to his shape he was an athletic type of people. His left eye was slightly opened, what gave him a scaring character.
"And if I remember it right, you're Mister Lazar Mladich." Asano looked at the man, who was in front of them.
"Yes." the man nodded and starched his hand out, he did a handshake with the three politicians that formed a one party not long ago, "But I'm surprised you came that fast, I wait you only in two days, can't wait to see what is going to be here?" his voice was serious and firm, so it was difficult to understand was he kind to them or too official.
"Yes, we decided to do so because of that." Chiba answered straight.
"Well, then I'll give you a proper place where you can rest before the main events." Lazar replied them, "Do you want to go to Serbia or to stay for a day in Bulgaria?"
"Depends on you." the woman joined the conversation of the men, "If you have an extra work we would like not to disturb you and go straight to Serbia." Yamasaki was polite in her talking with the politician that was in higher position.
"Fine, let me bring you to the railway station then." Mladich turned around and slowly went ahead, while the other three politicians followed him, and looked at the cameras of the journalists, but still avoided the questions.
"Can't get used to such popularity." Chiba looked from one side to another one, "Even if they are on such distant it's still annoying."
"As I remember someone wanted to take some attention." Asano said with a chuckle and was waving with his hand to the journalists.
They entered the building of the airport and Mladich led them to some room. Then he took a telephone and said something in Serbian, which incomprehensible for the three of them.
"The train will be ready in thirty minutes, if you want we can have tea or coffee." Lazar tried to be hospitable, "Aren't you hungry?"
"No, just coffee is enough." Yamasaki answered him, Lazar nodded and then opened the door and said something to the other man behind the door and then returned to them.
"It'll be here soon." Lazar said with his casual serious manner and expression, "Can I ask you about something?" Lazar sat in front of the trio.
"Yes, what is it?" Asano nodded, but still tensed as if he predicted and didn't liken the question of the man.
"What made you to form into one party?" the former military asked them, "As I see, you're absolutely different people, which work hard with each other."
"You're from straight people." Asano smiled, "As I see you're not from those who like to beat around the bush."
"I have the picture about all dossocialsists, which came here." Mladich replied, "But as I see you all have your own aims and ideas. I also have seen that your popularity became a little low, because of that."
"Yes, here you're right." Asano continued with the same smile, "That's why we came here in order to get some experience, which will help us to understand what we must do and how we should deal with our work."
Mladich nodded, and pondered. The coffee and snacks, which politicians started to eat. Lazar looked at them and continued.
"I'm surprised you decided to come with such noise." the Serbian didn't change his face at all, "Why so officially? Couldn't you warn just some group of people?"
"We didn't want to disturb our government." Chiba replied, "They could think we're some kind of spies or some other bad elements."
"Understood." the former military man replied, "It would be better, if you would do that during the visit of Russia. You couldn't not do all that pageant because of coming here."
"I also wanted to ask you about something." Yamasaki turned to the man, when she put down her cup, "Why Russia doesn't take part in this meeting? That idea firstly appeared there and it's strange that they didn't send their delegation."
"As I told to the journalists, all questions to the chairman of the Russian party." Mladich replied without emotions, "I can only guess, but I don't want to announce something as it can be not so in the result, so it's not the theme I'd like to discuss." Lazar answered her and then frowned, everyone heard how a phone started to call, the man quickly took out his one and answered in incomprehensible language to the three Japanese, "Da, tu si? Doći ću uskoro1." then he returned his phone back and got up, "I'm sorry, I'll leave you for now." he switched to English, "If you want you can walk near the room, I'll come to you soon and will go straight to Belgrade." they nodded and saw how the man left.
"He is really a strange man." Chiba felt easy himself when the man left, "I hope not all Serbs are like that."
Mladich was walking with a wide step, and pretty quickly, he was walking by the hall of the airport on the second floor and went to some room, which was protected by a young lady with fair hair and dark green attire, her face was pretty cute and as it was possible to see she was much younger then Lazar. When Lazar came to her she opened the door and let him in and then did the same also closing the door.
"Nice to see you, Mladich." Lazar looked at the man, who was sitting on the sofa and was drinking something, "It was quite a long when we saw each other." the man had brownish hair and an official black suit.
"Yes, it was really a long time." Mladich sat next to him.
"Are the Japanese politicians came?" the man asked him holding a cup in his hand.
"Yes, when the train is ready I'll inform them and we'll go to Serbia." Lazar replied fast and looked at the girl, who sat next to the man, "Andrew, will she be always here? I hate when someone is listening to our talks."
"Don't worry." Vereshagin Andrew smiled to him, "I trust her like myself, at the same time she can also give wise advices."
"Thank you for being kind." the lady answered with a nod, but then smiled, "And at the same I'd like to feed darling myself."
"Olga, we spoke about that." Andrew looked at her, "Not in front of people."
"But Mister Mladich knows about our relations, so I think I can do that." Oleg got closer to Andrew and took a cookie from the table, "I won't stop until you eat it."
"Fine." Andrew bit a cookie and then drank some of his coffee, "Well, is everything ready? I hope the meeting will be fine."
"Don't worry, with Japanese and Norwegian parties which declared about their coming in last moment, there's nothing significant what could break the plan." Mladich nodded continued to speak with his official and serous voice.
"And why didn't you invite Russian party?" Olga asked the man, "It's an impolite sign, as a politician and the leader of your party, you should do that."
"I will never let Eugene step the threshold of this country." Mladich hit the table with his fist, however didn't shout, but said in his ordinary manner, the young lady flinched of such unexpectedness.
"I know have you have problems with them, but…" Olga stopped because of Andrew's sign.
"For now it's unnecessary." Andrew replied calmly, "First we must show that Japan is interested to work with us. Then we only can start act a little tougher."
"As I remember there was someone who was working from you there." Mladich replied, "Couldn't you find someone who couldn't become like him." Andrew only shook with his head.
"His daughter rejected to be our comrade." the young woman took another cookie and handed it to the man who was next to her, but still was elder then her.
"By the way, what about Macedonia?" Andrew suddenly asked Lazar, "I've heard they think to join you, do you control the process?" Andrew had a strange smile, while Lazar was calm as always.
"Yes, upcoming elections will show us that." Mldaich only nodded, "And if they join what shall we do there?"
"Right now the elections, and only then we'll decide what to do." Andrew smile and did a bite of the cookie.
"What about Drunkard and Haze?" Mladich asked him again, 'Will they come?"
"Yes, but only Haze." Olga replied fast also taking a cup of coffee, "But Drunkard has his work against 'The Third Law'."
"I hope they won't come here." Andrew sighed, "They always like to appear when it's unneeded.
"They should be reckless and stupid if the y come here." Lazar suddenly said looking at Andrew, "With our mercenaries will quickly tie them and bring to justice."
"Easy to say." Andrew sighed, "They're as good as 'Red Division'." suddenly the phone called again and Lazar took it, and started to talk something in Serbian, while Andrew and Olga was watching at him.
"Well, the train is ready." the man got up, "I'll lead our politicians to Serbia then. Will you come there on your own?"
"Yes." Vereshagin nodded, "We will have a talk there too. I need to discuss something with you if you don't mind."
"I'll find a free minute to speak." Mladich slowly went to the door, "For now I'll go, and… welcome to Yugoslavia too."
"Yeah, thank you." Andrew smiled and also got up, "And we will also go and prepare our documents before leaving."
"With pleasure." Olga got up too and followed the man.
It was evening in Gosha Village. And a lot of habitants were walking and doing their own businesses, someone headed to report their missions, someone was walking and others preferred just to sit and enjoy slightly a cold day.
Sakura was walking by the main street of the village. She was wearing jeans and a jacket instead of her official suit, which she was wearing at the academy. She was looking at one side of the street and then at another one.
'Interesting, what Oleg wants to talk to me about?' she thought, her face was pondered as she didn't know why the Russian wanted to see her, 'Has he some doubts about my idea? Or he thought something better? Damn, even sis is angry at me now for that. Maybe it was a wrong idea, after all Kosuke and Kyousuke were suffered because of him.' Sakura felt uneasy, because of that and increased her pace, 'But Incubus King is also a bad choice he made suffering Shiranui, and other big demons rarely appear here…' Sakura did a turn and then continued her ponderings, 'So there's no one who could tell us about these new guys but them, and…' she suddenly pressed her hands against her breast, 'Still I can't belive Oleg offered his help with Kyousuke, it was really unexpected.' she smiled then, 'Will he be able to find a treatment one day?'
Sakura continued her way, until she reached some shop, which was in the middle of the village. She saw Oleg, who now was in pants, and a coat, which looked stylish on him. Oleg was watching at his phone and then looked around, when he saw Sakura he put his phone back into the pocket and came to her.
"Nice jacket." Oleg suddenly said.
"Is that tall what you want to say me?" Sakura chuckled and got her face a little closer to his.
"No." Oleg also smiled, "I have something to discuss about our plan." Sakura gulped, "Don't worry, everything is unchangeable and at the same time Takeuti is with us."
"Seriously?" Sakura looked at him with gleaming eyes.
"Yes, but he told me not to talk to Chikeko about it as…" he mumbled, "As she won't join us." he emphasized the last word, "However he gave an idea to discuss it with Kuro." he didn't let her say a word.
"He worked with Black for one time." Sakura nodded at his words.
"Yes, he told me about that too." Oleg replied her, he looked at her face again and asked, "By the way, how is Asagi now? Didn't you two argue about that anymore?"
His questions was sudden, however Sakura was ready for it.
"No, Sis will be angry for some time, but tomorrow she will be normal." Sakura sighed with a sad smile, "You know, I'm also unsure was a right idea to do that all."
Oleg sighed, "Let's have a walk." he slowly walked to the right and Sakura quickly followed him, "The idea you gave is brave and reckless." Oleg started to tell her, "But the problem is that we have no other option, but to follow it, as we need answers to the legends."
"Only questions and questions, like sis says." Sakura sighed, "That guy is really tough. And sis also told me about that Walter and Black has some connection and that black betrayed him."
"That's what we must know." Oleg agreed with Sakura, "We must know what binds them and what made Black betray him and what it the main goal of that bastard."
"Maybe he is the leader of this guys?" Sakura suddenly asked, "After all, he always is with them now."
"I don't think so." the Russian shook with his head, "He would send the second one, but he is in action and leaders never do that."
"And again I'll agree." Sakura nodded, "Black and Incubus King always send they scums to get us."
"They should be smart about that too." Oleg smiled suddenly attracting Sakura's attention, "Two Igawa siblings are a dead storm for demons, especially the one who uses shadows."
Sakura laughed suddenly, "My, you know how to cheer someone up." she clapped him at his back, "She is the deadliest one for them."
"I think vice versa." Oleg answered her, "You can be stronger than Asagi, you just need to find some reason to be stronger."
"And do you have such reason?" Sakura looked at him, "Of course you have." she answered for him, "Pavel and Maria."
"Not only that." Oleg looked at the evening sky, "But also to prove my parents I'll never give up, no matter what." Oleg answered with serious face.
"I see." Sakura was surprised of that, 'Yes, he told his parents gave up on being hunters.' she felt uneasy because of that, "How about to go to that shop?" Sakura suddenly pointed at the shop which was in their left, "I've heard about some new games, and I'd like to try them."
Oleg looked at it, but still entered it. The shop wasn't big, but still had some types of games and even books with manga. Oleg looked around and followed Sakura, who quickly rushed to the games.
"Is that the one like we played?" Oleg asked her.
"No, it's an adventure." Sakura replied him fast she returned back to her casual, merry manner of speaking, "I heard it had good comments and decided to try, but the way the fighting system there is for two."
"So, you use only one player in running and two in fighting, isn't it unfair?" Oleg asked her.
"Players can witch and then the other one will run, but everything is happening from two persons. So, everything is fair." she chuckled, "Here." she so the game on the higher shelf, "I'll ask the shop assistant."
"No, need." Oleg answered her, he stretched his hand and the game flew to him, "Here." the man handed it to Sakura.
"Well… thanks…" Sakura nodded and took the game, "By the way, I won't play it alone."
"What do you mean?" Oleg didn't understand what she mentioned, "Since sis, almost never play games, you'll help me to beat it."
"Are you sure it's good to ask me about that?" Oleg didn't turn his face from hers, "I'm not suitable for it."
"You have good skills." Sakura chuckled, "And here will start from the beginning, so…" she put on a semblance she pondered about something, "Here will be something I'll teach you." Oleg only smiled and went further to the books.
"If you really want me to help you with it, I'll try." Sakura's colleague answered her and started to look what book the shop had.
They stayed at the shop for some time, Sakura took several manga books and headed to the cash desk. Sakura was about to pay for her purchases, but Oleg suddenly stopped her.
"I'll pay." he only said to her and paid with his credit card.
"I also could do that." Sakura looked at him.
"It's a present for your protection of me." Oleg answered her, 'I didn't know what to give you, so at least it'll be a small compensation for that."
Sakura laughed, "You're really a gentle man." Sakura took everything in the bag, which Oleg also bought.
Oleg took the bag and slowly went to the exit.
"By the way, I also must thank you." Sakura told him, "For joining me."
"Don't mention it." Oleg sighed, "I did it, because I also think we must do it. However, I think we must talk to Kuro together."
"Here you're right." Sakura nodded, 'If he sees the two of us in one boat, I don't think he will argue."
"Is he still at hospital?" Oleg asked her with interest.
"Yes, the damage is quite serious and he can't regenerate it fast." Sakura answered him, "And it's really strange usually he never stays at hospitals."
"The enemy we fought was not an ordinary one." Oleg pondered, "Maybe his attacks are really much more dangerous than we think."
"Let's go and check him then." Sakura increased her pace, "Today we must convince two people to join us."
Oleg only sighed, but still agreed with her and followed straight to the hospital.
Their way was pretty long, but still they could do it. On their way, they decided to buy some oranges to two wounded Taimanin, who also fought a strange demon, which looked like a combination of a wasp and a human. They asked in which ward was the needed man and the nurse gave them the needed information. They headed to the second floor and then turned to the left side of the corridor. Sakura knocked at the door, and opened it then.
"Hi, Kuro, how are your ears?" Sakura asked him with her casual merry voice.
"Ah, Sakura." Kuro heard her, "Much better than they were after the fight." he looked at her first and then at the man next to her, "And as I understand Oleg also is with you."
"Yes." Oleg nodded and then said, "This one is really strong and cunning."
"Did you fight him too?" Kuro seemed surprised.
"Yes, but knowing that he uses sound powers gave us an advantage and we could prevail its attempts in time." Oleg came to his bed and put the bag with fruit next to his bed, "Give them to Rin too." the man added.
"How is she by the way?" Sakura sat onto the chair, next to the bed.
Sakura and Oleg took of their jacket and coat, and now Oleg was in his roll-neck and Sakura was in some kind of a jumper.
"She is not as good as I am." Kuro sighed, "Her ears were damaged more and she won't do missions in a month."
"Understood." Sakura nodded, "We'll get him next time."
"I think we found its nest." Oleg added.
"Nest?" Kuro was surprised again.
"Yes, it now is under patrol, but I think it'll be able to surprise us again." Oleg mumbled and stood next to Sakura.
"Listen." Sakura suddenly said him, "I have got something in mind and without you I don't think it'll work."
"What is it?" Kuro frowned, "I hope you don't want to do something like Yukikaze and Tatsurou did."
"Well…" Sakura stretched, "It something from that." she smiled stupidly.
"Tell." Kuro looked at her.
"Oleg, you'll explain it better." Sakura turned to her colleague.
"We want to contact with Black." Oleg nodded and took Sakura's hand and then Kuro's one.
'Mental powers?' Kuro thought.
'Yes, it's not the talk for other ears.' Oleg replied him, 'Well, we want to contact with Edwin Black.'
'Reason?' Kuro replied in heads of Sakura and Oleg.
'The guys we fought.' Sakura replied, 'Walter has some relation with Black and we want to know what binds them. Sis told Walter was betrayed and I, no, we want to know what was there between them.'
'Do you think he will tell you?' Kuro asked Sakura.
'It's a difficult question.' Oleg answered this time, 'The plan isn't brilliant, but we want to come to him in big number in order not to let him capture someone.' Kuro replied nothing, so Oleg continued, 'I've heard you worked with him before, you tried to save Murasaki isn't it?' Kuro nodded, 'And he saved his minion.'
'Ingrid. The hell knight.' Kuro answered, 'Who agreed to help you?'
'Pavel, Takeuti and I think Akiyama siblings, Yukikaze and Shiranui with her.' Oleg answered, 'We wanted to talk to Shiranui after talking to you.'
'Well, the idea is interesting.' Kuro nodded, Sakura's face cheered up, 'I'm also tired to fight with the one I know nothing about. But how are you going to come to him?'
'We can try to find someone from his scums and invite to talk.' Sakura quickly replied, 'I don't think they didn't meet, since Black stopped hunting on us that means he came to him.'
'Here you're right.' Oleg agreed with Sakura, 'It's a difficult and dangerous work, so if you reject to join us, we will understand it.'
'I think I'll join you.' Kuro smirked, 'Tell Shiranui I agree, but if she rejects I won't join you.'
'Fair.' Oleg nodded, 'And how do you think, shall we change something in the plan?'
'For now leave everything like it is, then we'll think everything together.' Kuro said, 'And if I understand it right Captain knows nothing about that.'
'Yeah, sis shouldn't know about our small plans.' Sakura answered him, 'As she is against that all.'
'That's what I don't like, but well. I'll say nothing her, as it's for good of us all.' Kuro nodded and then took an orange.
Oleg removed his hands from Kuro and Sakura's hands and said.
"Well, I think we will go. Enjoy the oranges."
"Yeah, I will." Kuro replied him.
Sakura and Oleg left the ward, they took their outer clothes and when they were outside of the hospital, Sakura exclaimed.
"Amazing!"
"What is it?" Oleg looked at her.
"And you're asking?" Sakura pressed her face almost against his, however the man was a little taller and it wasn't so close, "He agreed and now just to talk to Shiranui and everything is fine."
Oleg covered Sakura's mouth.
"Not so loud. After all, we also must know her point of view and then we can slowly start to act."
"She will definitely agree." Sakura said with a merry smile, "But the problems is that how we should do that all."
"I'll think everything." Oleg smiled to her, "If you have ideas you can give me them too."
"Thank you for helping." Sakura hugged him, "If not you I don't know what I would do." Sakura then squeezed his coat, "Can I ask you about something…"
"What is it?" Oleg felt that she became a little sad.
"Will you find a cure for Kosuke?"
"I promised, don't you remember?" Oleg also hugged her with a free hand, "When I promise something I always try to do that."
"I understand it's not what I must ask, but even you say that for some reason I'm happy that you just also try to help him." Sakura tried to hold, "There's nothing bad if you won't, I mean…"
"I understand." Oleg hugged her tighter, "I'll try to find something what will turn him back into the human."
Sakura and Oleg went further and then decided to go to each other places. When they came to the middle of the village again Oleg gave her the bag and heard the voice of the girl.
"By the way, maybe tomorrow we will start? It's Saturday after all."
"Well, first is to speak with Shiranui." Oleg declared, "We must know her point of view. And at the same time I don't think Asagi will be glad to see guests."
"I'll think of something." Sakura chuckled, "Sis never gets angry for too long, and that is just a small visiting." Oleg only sighed at her words.
"I'll think of it."
Then Sakura quickly went to her home, while Oleg stayed alone. He took out his phone and looked at it.
'It's better to discuss it with Professor.' Oleg frowned, 'But I always forget to ask him about that. I'll call him from dormitory. Maybe Cyclopes will be near him.' he put his phone back into the coat and slowly walked to the dormitory, 'I also must talk to Ilya and Maria, if they're with us it everything will be much better.'
Sakura reached her home pretty fast and saw Asagi who was cooking dinner. Asagi looked at Sakura and that she was holding a bag.
"Bought new games?" Asagi asked her younger sister straight.
"Well, it's some kind of a present." Sakura chuckled.
"A present?" Asagi was wondered, "What present?"
"From Oleg." Sakura took off her jacket and put the bag onto the floor.
"And what was the occasion?" Asagi still couldn't understand what was happening.
"It's a secret." Sakura chuckled, "Oh, and well…" Sakura mumbled not knowing how to say it straight, "Sorry for that talk in the morning. I didn't know what came to my mind."
"I'm glad you understood that." Asagi exhaled being glad Sakura didn't insist on working with Black, "Sorry for being overly rough too."
"Yeah, I also would act like that on your place." Sakura said with her usual smile, "Well is the dinner ready?"
"Not, yet." Asagi replied her and looked at the bag, where she saw some game and manga, "It'll be ready in some minutes. I can't belive how you could make him buy that."
"He bought me it." Sakura chuckled, "And I don't lie."
"It's difficult to belive." Asagi slightly smiled.
"By the way, sis." Sakura looked at Asagi, "Maybe there's something I could help you to cook?"
"What?" Asagi put on a semblance she didn't hear the words of the orange haired girl, "Aren't you sick?"
"I'm fine." Sakura wasn't glad the elder Igawa acted like that, "Just thought that's it's difficult for you to cook alone and decided to help."
"If you want you can prepare dishes and boil tea." Asagi still was puzzled of Sakura's attitude.
"Okay!" Sakura saluted her and went to do what was told, but before that she washed her hands.
'It can be just one Oleg could change Sakura so fast.' Asagi was shocked of Sakura, who offered her help in cooking, 'But if she becomes more dependent I don't mind her to talk to him.' Asagi smiled, 'Does she really like him? Or it's just something what doesn't' connect with love?'
Asagi decided to return back to cooking and, however she also watched how Sakura was doing her work too and was surprised that she was doing that on her own.
Commander and Drunkard were sitting in a big room, which was suitable for meetings and were discussing something.
"So, Taimanin finally are there." Commander announced his thoughts, "At least they will look after it."
"I won't be surprised if they miss something." Drunkard answered him, "However it's their work is to look after what happens in their country." Drunkard looked at Commander and asked him then, "By the way, is Haze already in Yugoslavia or she is going there."
"She is going there, and Vereshagin on the place." Commander nodded.
"I know that." the man in the service cap replied him, "And it's interesting for when Haze will arrive."
"She must be there in two or three days." Cyclopes replied also watching at the man.
"By the way, how it was to work with Shiranui? You were with her." Drunkard took out his flask and slid it by the desk to his interlocutor, "Was she as strong as her husband?"
"She is much stronger." Commander took it, did several sips and then returned it back, "But her daughter and that boy, Tatsurou, are also good. If they continue practice they will be really strong."
"I see." Drunkard nodded, "Tatsurou is really an interesting one. He was able to be concentrated in 'Under Eden'. And Yukikaze was able to bear the humiliation and torturing." then he smirked, "But I'm surprised that the number of Taimanin that you started to like is increasing." Commander replied nothing, "Listen, I have one thought about that wasp guy."
"What is it?" Cyclopes asked him, not liking the tone of the man.
"What if some kind of third power?" Drunkard said pondering.
"What do you mean?" the man with the eye patch became interested.
"If it fought both us and 'The Third Law', it can mean that it can be with someone else." Drunkard explained his idea, "I don't want to belive in that, but if it's working for someone? I don't think these attacks were chaotic, well planned and the nest is pretty far from the area where the kidnappings were."
"It's a good idea." Commander started to over think the idea, "And for whom it can work?"
"I don't know, but it's neither NOMAD nor Incubus faction." Drunkard felt Commander was about to ask him, "Because Professor told those wasps are rare and they are hard to control."
"I remember." Commander answered, "But if there someone third, what point in those kidnapping? To make an army of captured Taimanin?"
"That's what I don't know." the man sighed, "However, it's still some idea which must be overthought."
"Discussing the things that were happened not long ago?" they suddenly heard a voice which was hissing.
"And I thought you will go somewhere else, but not here." Commander seemed irritated, of seeing Professor, who slowly came to the desk.
"Why? I wanted to report that it wasn't a seal, nothing more." Commander and Drunkard heard an answer.
"And what it was?" Cyclopes looked at him.
"I don't know." Professor lied, "The kids Taimanin told something about some demon, that's all."
"Someone made and anomaly?" Drunkard asked the humanoid raising an eyebrow.
"It seems so." Professor nodded, "However, it's still a question, who it could be."
"Where you are going there always only secrets." Commander grunted, but then his phone suddenly called.
"Who?" Drunkard asked him.
"Teacher." the man merely replied, and accepted the call, 'What is it Teacher? Another request?"
'Good evening, Cyclopes. No, this time everything is fine.' Oleg's voice was heard from the phone.
"Then what is it?" Cyclopes asked him again.
'Well, is Professor near you? I want to talk to him.' Oleg replied fast in order not to distract the man.
"What do you want from him?" Commander was puzzled and surprised, but still looked at the humanoid that was mentioned.
'I want to ask him something.' Oleg answered again.
"Yes, he is." Cyclopes replied, "Come on, as if he answers something clear." he smirked then.
"What is it Teacher?" Professor asked with his hissing voice, "Why such urgency?"
'I wanted to know something, you know a lot about demon technology and magic.' Oleg asked the lizard humanoid straight, 'Is there a way to break the magic, which turned someone into a meat ball?'
"Meat ball?" Drunkard looked at Commander and then at the green humanoid.
"Was someone turned into it?" Professor asked him fast.
'It's long to explain, I want to know the way to return the person back to human. Or there's no such thing.' Oleg seemed excited and didn't know how to ask it right.
"Depends on how it was turned and how much of energy was used during it." Professor started to answer the question, "There are a lot of nuances from when it was done, in what moon phase and under which star." Drunkard and Commander looked at each other not understand what the humanoid was talking about, "If that's unknown there's a way to treat it, but it must be done with strict watching."
'Do you want to say you can return this person back to normal?' Oleg asked him again.
"I don't know, I can be able not to do that. If the demon who did that was strong and it was done according with the ritual correct and in right moon phase it'll be impossible for me."
'I see.' Oleg responded sorry for disturbing you.
"You need a strong source of demonic energy for that." Professor suddenly replied, "It will be able to overpower the spell and break it. I suppose he must strong as…" he suddenly stopped, "As Walter."
Commander and Drunkard were watching at him with serious faces trying to understand what they were talking about.
'Understood.' Oleg answered, when Professor stopped explained with hissing notes, 'Thank your answer.'
The calling was stopped and Commander returned his phone back into his vest.
"I don't understand, who was turned into a meat ball and how?" Drunkard asked the humanoid.
"If only I knew." Professor hissed, "For now I'll go, since it's a moment of rest, I'll go and prepare myself for upcoming fights."
"Fine." Commander looked at him, "It's impossible to make you talk about what is needed."
Professor slowly went to the exit of the room thinking about something he only knew.
Da, tu si? Doći ću uskoro1 - Yes, it's you? I will come soon.
