Chapter 27
Cyclopes was in the training room for some time. He was thinking about the duel he had just seen,. He also was thinking about additional things the young hunters would need in the future. He also thought about Yukikaze.
'Good thing, she is fine.' He thought remembering being her energetic.
Shiranui returned in about twenty minutes along with another girl, who was brown haired, and head also a little revealing uniform, there also was a spear in her hand.
Is it the one you were talking about?" Commander looked at the girl.
Yes, Sakura told about her being too energetic." Shiranui nodded, "And I wanted to see it myself, as she changed in no time."
'I can't belive sensei told everything that fast, but still the classmates also saw it, so there's nothing bad.' Masami pondered, watching at the strange man.
'It's Masami." Shiranui presented the girl, "Masami, it's Ivan, he helps us with our problems with some criminal organization." she presented the man to the girl then.
"Nice to meet you." Masami stretched her hand to the man.
"The same." the man accepted the handshake, "Do you want to add her to your squad?"
"Yes, if she is able to fight like the others do, I see no problems in that." Shiranui nodded, "Sakura mentioned Masami was one of the best in the class."
"I see." the man was examining the girl's appearance.
"Are you ready?" Shiranui asked Masami, who quickly nodded to her.
"I am." Masami was watching at Shiranui and then at the man, who was near them.
Ivan headed to the wall, while the female hunters stood on a distance from each other.
'Both of them have spears, it seems the tactics should be a little similar.' Commander thought glancing at the girl and then at the woman, 'However Shiranui is far more skillful, than her, so it'll be difficult to compare.' He was watching at Masami then, 'And the most interesting thing, has she got some powers or not.'
"Ready?" Shiranui asked Masami, who only nodded, "Well then…" Shiranui smiled and next moment she rushed ahead.
Masami didn't lose much time and quickly dodged the lunge.
"I'll give you time to get used to me, if you don't mind." Shiranui smiled to Masami cunningly.
"No need." Masami also chuckled.
Next moment, Masami decided to attack, she was doing fast attacks, but still it was nothing for Shiranui to dodge them or parry.
'Good skills.' Shiranui pondered, 'She can be as good as Rinko.' Shiranui dodged another lunge gracefully, 'Interesting has she got powers or not.'
'Let's try to do this.' Masami thought.
Next moment she did several attacks with her spear, after that she jumped and quickly did a wide lunge.
"Not bad!" Shiranui was surprised she could do something like that, "But still not I'm not touched."
"Sensei, do you think I can do it?' Masami looked at Shiranui.
"If you try hard, you will do it." Shiranui smiled to her again.
"Can I ask you not to tell something to Igawa-sensei?" Masami asked the woman suddenly.
"What do you want to say?" Shiranui didn't understand what the young Taimanin meant.
"I want to tell everyone later about it." the girl added.
When Shiranui wanted to answer something, Masami suddenly rushed to her and next moment there appeared another Masami straight out of her.
"Wow!" the teacher and the man were surprised of what they both saw.
This time Shiranui acted faster as the other opponent was as strong as the first one, and Shiranui tried to think of the idea how to fight.
'Not bad power…" Ivan pondered, 'She could become a real support to the squad.'
"Let's do that then." Shiranui chuckled and created a clone, which also started to fight Masami.
The young Taimanin was in a good cooperation with her sibling, as Shiranui was with her clone.
'Wait a second..." Ivan looked at the fight of the two female Taimanin, 'I'm risking losing some powers, but still it must be seen!' he opened his eye patch and looked at them with his golden eyes, "That's it!" he exclaimed and then suddenly coughed, he quickly closed his eye patch and leaned onto the wall.
"What?" Shiranui looked at the man, "Let's stop for now!" Shiranui told to Masami and quickly rushed to the man, "What is it? Are feeling bad?"
"No…" the man said coughing, "Just checked something…"
"Did you use your eye again?!" the woman looked at him seriously.
"Just a bit…" he tried to restore his breath.
"I'll call for the nurse!" Masami looked at the man, "I'll come fast!" the second Masami said.
"No need!" the man shouted, "I'm fine." he breathed in and out.
"Are you sure?!" Shiranui looked seriously at the man, "If there's something serious it's better too…"
"I'm fine." the man replied her, "Just need to rest a little more now." both Masami came to the man and the woman, Shiranui's clone became just a mere puddle, "Most important I found out something."
"And what is it?" Shiranui asked him still being serious and worried.
"Shiranui do your clones fight on instincts?" the man asked her.
"Yes, they are simple, but useful, I don't put many powers in them." Shiranui replied, "It's not effective and will take more powers to do them more powerful."
"I see." Ivan nodded, 'Just like Drunkard, but he told his clones are much more costly.' then he looked at Masami, 'And you… Masami…" the girl nodded, "How does your clone work?"
"Do you mean, how we cooperate?" Masami asked the man, who only nodded, "Well, I still don't understand, but it's like with have some mental bond." she replied him, "We coordinate our moves in our heads."
"And still without mental user's power…" the man looked at her.
"What do you want to say?" Shiranui didn't understand what the man wanted to say.
"It's hard to explain, but we can think together." Another Masami suddenly said, "But still we are different in what we're doing."
"And what about wounds?" the man asked her seriously narrowing his eye, "Since the energy is the same, I'm afraid, you will."
"Yes, if someone of us gets scratch it will be on the other person." Masami nodded, "I checked it." Other one replied too.
"Fascinating…" Shiranui couldn't belive, "It's like a perfect sibling. I guess if you sharpen your skill, you will do a great success and will be even stronger than Rinko."
"One more question, does no one know about your power?" the man asked, "You didn't want let them know that."
"Well… Pavel and Maria-sensei know, because they helped me to deal with my problems. I just want to work it and only then to show it" Masami said lowering her eyes.
"I understand what you want to say, but during the mission, you're to show your power, so there's no need to hide it." the man told her, "If you show it soon, your partners will get used to you faster."
"Here he is right." Shiranui agreed with the man, "As faster you do it less problems you'll have."
"Understood, I will inform everyone then." Masami understood her mistake and decided to amend it.
"Can you fight a little more?" Ivan asked the women, "I want to see everything properly."
"Are you sure, you don't need to rest?" Shiranui looked seriously at him, "That takes a lot of powers as I understand."
"Don't worry, I had much worse times." Ivan replied her fast, "More important is to see how she is."
"Fine, but if there's something, we'll go to the nurse." Shiranui sighed understanding she would never be able to reason the man.
The fight continued, this time Shiranui fought two Masami. Now she felt no problems as she knew the power of the girl and there were no surprises.
'Interesting, is two her limit or she will be able to create more?" Ivan watched at Masami with interest, 'Interesting, since Pavel knows about her powers, does it mean she has something towards him? He looked at her moves, how she was dodging at attacking, 'Frankly speaking, she is much better in skills than Ren…' he looked how she jumped, 'She even much better than few of our devoted members, she could be fitting for us in the future.'
Masami did a wide swing with her spear, when the other one quickly protected her from Shiranui's water spear.
'Still not clear how the hell she can think everything till the smallest move.' Ivan was observing the practice carefully, 'It seems they must have some bond or something like that.' then he suddenly coughed, "Well, enough for now!" Ivan said with a risen voice, "I saw what I needed to see."
"And what did you knew?" Shiranui asked him.
"If I remember it right, you had another Taimanin in the squad, she also fought with a spear."
"Chikeko?" Shiranui looked at the man.
"I don't know her name." the man answered fast, "You can put her into Asagi's squad, and Masami will join ours, or vice versa." Commander offered his idea.
"Well…" Shiranui pondered, "She can make a clone, like I do, so it's much better to join Asagi's, or we must change the places."
"I wouldn't like to see that." Ivan suddenly stated.
"Why?" Shiranui looked puzzled at him.
"I am not thrilled to work with Asagi." The man with the eye patched mumbled.
"And with the one who got your eye you don't mind?" Yukikaze's mother looked at the man with a cunning smile.
"I guess, you're more reasonable, unlike Asagi." the man replied fast, "And at the same time we have something that binds us."
"Yes, your truth." Shiranui smiled sadly.
"Well!" the man quickly said seeing her sad smile, "I think it's time to return to work. After all, I also must think something about the squad work."
"Fine, you will be in my cabinet then." Shiranui told the man, "And you Masami, can be free."
"Yes, sensei!" Masami bowed to the woman and headed to the exit leaving the elder hunters together.
In a few minutes they also headed back.
"So what ideas do you have?" Shiranui asked the man, "About Masami too."
"Frankly speaking, she is the best of all in your squad, "Ren and Tatsurou are not as better as she is."
"Here you're right. Masami is much better in battle she is a fighter, who can easily make a duo." the woman with the ribbon on her head said, "I think she will be really important for our missions against 'The Third Law'.
"Yes, I also think so." the man nodded, "But still it's important to spread powers correctly or they will get us."
The man was walking slowly and the woman didn't hurry walking the same pace as he did.
"By the way, how about to go and eat something after the workday?" Shiranui suddenly asked the man.
"With your squad?" the man looked at her.
"We can do so, or just the two of us." Shiranui smiled then, "After all they didn't make a scratch." Cyclopes replied her nothing, "Let's just say it's a gratitude for your today's help and well… For all what you did for us."
"I don't mind." Ivan responded in a few seconds, 'Why the hell, I agreed?' the man suddenly thought, 'I have to…' suddenly they heard some noise, the man quickly put his hand into the vest and took out his phone, "What is it?" he suddenly said in Russian, Shiranui looked at the man with raised brow, "Understood, I will tell her." the man nodded, "Yes, if you really are right we'll think of something, and I'll recall you." then he returned his phone.
"What is it?" Shiranui asked the man with interest.
"It seems your Taimanin friends can be rescued."
"How so?!" Shiranui was astonished hearing that.
"Well lets discuss it at your office, and then we can talk to Asagi." Shiranui nodded with a serious look.
The man tried to hurry, but still then continued to walk with his slow pace. Shiranui took his hand and decided to help them man. Ivan was against of this idea, however Shiranui insisted on supporting him.
"Why the hell so long?!" Trickster said watching at Ungai, "I thought you were interested in getting here fast."
"Just met our old friend." the lion demon grunted.
"And who is that?" Trickster didn't understand what the demon meant.
"Guess, who always liked to know all about all?" Ungai answered him fast.
"Professor…" Trickster hit the wall of the building with his tail, while the demon near him merely grunted as well.
"He told about something about taking right side in order to defeat Atke and Celine." Ungai was watching at the demon with four hands, "He also told you don't know whom to join and that's your problem!"
"I know, whom to join." Trickster answered fast, "I want to destroy both of the forces in order to make us independent again.
"What do you mean?" Ungai asked.
"I want to say Professor wants to drag us into his team and after that Taimanin will not let us go easily." he started to explain, "Knowing Atke he will pulverize us for not helping him all this time. Do you understand what I'm talking about?"
"Yes." Ungai nodded, "Here, you're right."
"At the same time, since they want to destroy the seals, they want to release her, and if they are able to do so, she will not try to find out, why we did help and started to do what we want."
"And how do you want to find the last one?" Ungai asked Trickster, "You still didn't tell us that." Uran also nodded with his head.
"I have a plan, but first of all I need to be sure Atke and Celine will be in one place, I hope they will come to that event too, after all I have no doubt he will try to low Edwin."
"Is that your plan?" the demon that looked like a lion roared, "Just some luck coincidence? Nothing more?!" he even hit the wall with his fist.
"If you have something better, tell me." Trickster moved with his tail, "You also can try to go to Taimanin if you want, but I don't think you will live long when you finish all that."
The demon hit the building again leaving a hole in the wall.
"The best what I think is to wait in the pit where he was." the demon looked at Uran, who spitted something strange onto the ground.
"If everything is settled, I think we can go, the event of Black will soon start, I hope you don't want miss the show."
"At least here I'm agree with you." the demon grunted, "We need to prepare for it, if we want not to do what planned."
Trickster nodded and then the three demons hurried somewhere they only knew.
"So, what's the plan?" Shiranui asked the man helping him to sit onto the sofa in her cabinet.
"Well, as Drunkard told Hush has thought of some new thing that will work against the sound power of that scum." Commander replied, "It's still not tested but, its work can be seen on the place."
"It's risky." Shiranui sat onto her place, the woman still was in her Taimanin uniform, "And as I think you want our squad to go there."
"Yes." the man nodded, "We faced him so we will work much better against him."
"I need to discuss that to Asagi." Shiranui replied, "Maybe all together we will think something."
"And one more thing." Commander said, "That event that Black is going to make, will be in two days."
"Damn, just one important thing after another." Shiranui didn't like what the man told her.
"I have doubts, but I'm sure that Walter will appear there, Drunkard told Professor sure about that."
"I wanted to ask you, who is that Professor?" Shiranui asked the man seriously, "Asagi told she was fighting with him against Celine, but still it tells nothing."
"Frankly speaking, I also know a little about him." Commander sighed, "He helps 'Red Division' and also helps with advices to our hunters in Russia. However…" he suddenly stumbled, "As he told he and the other guy are quite old."
"And they told you nothing about Walter, Celine and seals?" Shiranui raised her eyebrow.
"They didn't tell anything, I don't know, maybe they didn't know them well, or there is something else." Commander replied her, "I tried to talk to him not long ago, but still he told something vague and left."
"Good advisor…" Shiranui sighed, "So, let's focus on the Black's event then." Shiranui looked at him, "What candidates do you plan to send?"
"Professor will go with Penetrator." Ivan saw puzzled expression on Shiranui's face, "It's the second guy I told you about." he pondered, "And maybe Drunkard."
"I see." Shiranui nodded, "And I also must think of good candidates." she pondered, "Sakura, is good as she can hide in someone's shadow, then Oleg or Maria"
"I thought you will take all of those who wished to go."
"I will never take kids for that mission." Shiranui answered him strictly, "They are good and skillful Taimanin, but still it's the mission only for elders"
"IU see." the man nodded."
"Kuro can also be good here, and probably Chikeko, but I'd like to take Asagi as well." the woman with the ribbon said.
"We have tree passes now." the man told her, "Three can be inside and the rest outside." the man told her.
"I hope you understand you will leave here?" Shiranui raised her eyebrow.
"Don't worry, I came here with few problems, there I will not even get up." the man smirked.
"It's good you understand that." Shiranui smiled, "Fine I'll go Asagi then and the three of us will discuss everything properly."
"I'll wait here." Ivan nodded watching at her.
Suddenly his phone rang, Shiranui decided to use this opportunity and to bring Asagi into here office.
"Tardis!" Malek shouted seeing the Pegasus in the hall, "Where's Lord Walter, I want to talk to him about the Black's event!"
"What's with it?" the demon looked at him seriously.
"It'll be in two days." the demon with the tail quickly replied, "I wanted to know would he go there or no."
"Of course, I will go." they heard a cold voice, somewhere behind Malek.
"Lord Walter?!" Malek was shocked and astonished seeing the man, "I can't understand, how you come when someone wants to report you something." Malek exhaled.
"Just know, that I'm always come when there's something important for me."
"Here is your pass." Malek gave a small ticket to the demon lord,
"Good." the man nodded.
"The demon, who gave it to me, did it like a participant, so you're to fight the opponents there." Malek explained, "He could do only that, damn scum."
"It's much better." Walter smirked, "After all there will be a good opportunity to impress Black.
"Is there anything else you wanted me to do?" Malek was watching at the demon lord carefully as if he was worried.
"Yes, I need to you to do something." the man in the armor replied him, "I want you to take Alid too, and you will join me there."
"Why do you need us there?" Malek was surprised. "Black is nothing for you so I think…" the demon looked at the man and flinched of his glance, "Understood, I'll tell him."
"Are you worried about Taimanin?' Tardis asked the man.
"Yes." Walter nodded, 'There's a boy, who has a special sword, which I want to take. As it a bothersome thorn for me."
"Is it the one who killed Tiradex?" Malek looked at Walter, who merely nodded.
"My Lord, will you go with Celine or alone?" Tardis asked the demon lord with his usual voice.
"I will discuss to her that." Walter replied him fast, 'The most interesting question is will Asagi go there too?" he suddenly smirked, "It'd be really wonderful if she would come, after all I'll show her where is her place too."
"Why are you interested in Asagi?" Malek asked the demon, who was far stronger than he was.
"I just want to show them their struggles are pathetic, and we will deal with everyone, who stand in our way." the demon lord in silver armor replied the other demon, "I want to make all Taimanin bow to me or they will all be perished."
"If I remember it right Edwin Black, wants the same." Malek mumbled, but saw angry expression of his superior, what made him to gulp.
"Just a shrimp that gained power, while I was out of the business!" Walter came closer to Malek making him step back, "I remember the real Black, who was scared of our my power and tried to do whatever I order him perfectly, but when the biggest part of us was defeated, took their advantage and took our place instead of helping us!"
"I hope you will be able to take what is yours…" Malek pressed against the wall, he tried to stay calm, but deep inside, he was scared too much."
"And I will, first take what is ours." Walter grunted, "And then I will also use it against him, I will make him not only scared, I will force him to apologies and plead me for mercy, and only then I will take his head."
"But what if he joins forces with Taimanin?" Tardis asked Walter, making him to turn his master's attention to him instead of Malek, who was happy and exhaled quietly, "They will be a big problem for us."
"Once Tyngak is fully reborn, it will not be a problem for us." Walter answered him, "And along with Celine we can keep them busy as long as it will be needed for Mystic to destroy the seal."
"Understood, if it's not a problem, we will win over humanity." Tardis bowed to the demon lord.
"I need to prepare, you can be free now, but I I think I will contact you soon, I still don't know who will go with me, so be ready!"
"Yes!" Malek and Tardis replied him and then the man in the armor disappeared leaving them alone.
"I thought I would mess up just in front of him." Malek announced his thought suddenly.
"You will get used to his quick changing mood." Tardis came closer to his comrade, "Just don't disappoint and don't fail him, and everything will be good for you." he clapped Malek by his shoulder.
"Easy to say than to do." the demon with the tail mumbled, "When you're opposing such Taimanin as Igawa sister and their loyal hound Yatsu Murasaki, it's hard to do something, not being killed."
"Just practice and everything is good." Tardis replied, "If you display yourself Lord Walter will also protect you."
"I see how he helped Tiradex…" Malek mumbled.
"He was not good in thinking and I always told him what to do." Tardis snorted, "If there's no one near him he could easily become insane especially when he is hungry." the Pegasus looked at his comrade then, "You and Alid are different so if you're able to work with other teammates everything is fine. At the same time Lord Walter sends someone strong for better result."
"Understood." Malek mumbled, "But I still have a bad presentiment about it." The demon followed Tardis then, "I hope he will not take me there with him, don't want to be killed by Black or Taimanin so easily."
"Don't worry, their attention will be given to our Lord, so there's nothing to worry for you or Alid."
The demons headed along the corridor still chatting about what they about to have.
Shiranui returned pretty fast. The woman came back to her office in her battle suit, while Asagi was in her office clothes.
"I thought you need to rest." Asagi told.
"More I rest, more problems we have the man." Looked at the blue haired woman, his tone was strict and firm, as if it was hard for him to talk to Asagi."
"What a diligent man." Shiranui chuckled watching at him.
"Resting is also important." Asagi sat opposite the man and looked at him, "So, what's the emergent theme?"
"Asagi, we have an idea how to save people from that wasp." Shiranui started.
"I'm surprised, you've discussed it to him first." the principle of Taimanin frowned.
"After all, he dealt with him too." Shiranui smiled understanding it was bad from her side, "But we need to discuss the rest."
"Come on, tell." Asagi looked at Ivan and then at Shiranui.
"Well, one of his men has some weapon, which must be tested against this guy." Shiranui started as she gave a sign to Ivan she would start first, "But the problem is we know where the nest is, but since our last encounter it haven't appeared anymore, so we want to send someone there."
"And who do you want to send?" Asagi raised her eyebrow.
"Of course not kids." Shiranui was watching at Asagi with a smile, while Commander was frowned, "But I think Rinko would be good in there as she can investigate the building from outside with her power." Asagi nodded slightly as if she gave a sign to continue, "Second we need one mental user, like Oleg or Maria to keep in touch during the walk there, as the communicators can be damaged our there is no signal."
"Not a bad strategy." the principle nodded.
'And there must be someone like Rin, Sakura, Murasaki or Kuro, after all they have big experience in such kind of missions." Shiranui added, "And from your side?" she looked at the man, who was watching at Asagi strictly.
"Hush, maybe Avalanche and some other, who are free right now." the man replied.
"I can't understand, why did you agree to help us? After all there's no need for you to help us with our own problem, what's the point?" Asagi watched the same way at him.
"That's none of your business, helping then it's needed to be so." the man replied her.
"Well." Shiranui coughed into her fist, "Since he agreed to help, we can't lose such an opportunity." she didn't want to turn discussion into a quarrel, "We need to something to save them"
"I totally agree with that." Asagi said, "But still I don't have an idea, why are you so intensive on helping us with our problem."
"It can switch on us." Commander said, "If this thing works for Walter we must deal with him not giving more problems for us in the future."
"Reasonable." Shiranui said emotionlessly, as if she knew the man will answer something like that, "As I understand, you're out of work for some time."
"Yes, I'm looking after him." Shiranui answered her, "And I will not let him go anywhere until he is fully recover." She looked strictly at the man.
"But he came here, disobeying you." Asagi smiled this time, "It seems you must punish him for being a bad guest."
"Don't worry, I will lecture him later." Shiranui also chuckled, while the man rolled his eye and sighed heavily.
"If you thought everything well, I will take this mission under my personal control and will go there as well." the principal announced her thought, "The only question is to take Pavel or not. If what you say is true and Walter is really after these kidnappings we must be ready."
'That means we won't be able to take him for our sortie.' Shiranui thought watching at Asagi, "It's really a problem." She said thoughtfully, "But I'm doubt Walter is interested in it."
"Why so?" Commander looked at her.
"If he really wanted to deal with us, he would strike us along with Celine, I'm doubt we're able to oppose them both together." Shiranui said.
"It's still a real question." Asagi nodded, "I fought her too, and she is a really strong opponent, she was more skillful than Walter in melee." she looked at Shiranui who walked to the kettle in order to turn it on, "Working together they wouldn't give us any chance."
"Do you want to say there's something between them?" the woman with the ribbon turned on the kettle and looked at the blue haired woman.
"I don't know, but I think it's their way." the man told the women, "Probably they want to make us belive our struggles are pathetic."
"It's absolutely Black's way to influence his enemies." Asagi told suddenly, "He always try to make you feel that and if he can make suffer the one you love it will give him pleasure." she squeezed her fists.
"Frankly speaking, Walter is the only strongest enemy I've ever fought." Commander looked at Shiranui, who was pouring water into the mugs now.
"So, I've heard you." Asagi decided to change the theme of their talk, "I will prepare everything and will form a squad, should I sign you too?" Asagi looked at Yukikaze's mother.
"I want to do something in a day." Shiranui told Asagi, "I will ot be able to go."
"Oh, I see." Asagi looked at Shiranui with strange eyes, and then at the man, "After all, you should overdo for now."
"Yeah, thanks for concern." Shiranui handed a mug to Asagi, "By the way, that Masami, what problem had she got?"
"Why so sudden about her?" Asagi asked the woman.
"I had a practical combat with her, and you know, she is really good." the woman handed the mug to the man then, "She is much more skillful than some people in our squads."
'So Pavel and Maria could deal with that.' Asagi pondered making a sip, she looked at Commander, who was watching at her.
"Don't worry, he saw her too." Shiranui smiled.
"Fine, after all, he would probably know that somehow." Asagi sighed "She had a mission, where she appointed a captain, but she was captured. Everyone in the squad was her friend, and they all were killed, so she had wound." Asagi watched at the coffee in the mug, "She was scared of blood, and was unable to fight."
"I see." Shiranui said thoughtfully, "It's really the worst, what can happen."
"But still it's an important experience, we must pass if it happens." Commander suddenly said making both women to look at him.
"Did you lose an important person too?" Asagi looked at him, he only nodded.
'Is it that man, Splash?' Shiranui felt uneasy seeing his move of his head, 'I must try to do something for him.'
"Well." the man coughed into his fist, "It's not the time for such talks I wanted to say, Masami could become a serious aid in fighting."
"I'm not sure." Asagi looked at him, "She still need time to recover."
"Here I agree with him." Shiranui did a sip of her coffee, "She will give us perfect support, "As I said, her skills are as good as Rinko's so I don't think, it's good to leave her here, when we can use her."
"If I remember it right, I'm the leader of Taimanin, not him." Asagi looked displeased at the man with the eye patch.
"Sorry." Shiranui chuckled, "Think about it, and we'll be able to add Chikeko to our one of the squads."
"Fine, I'll think about it." Asagi sighed, suddenly her phone rang, "Sorry, I'll go." she quickly got up, "Inform me when your partners are ready and I'll think of people to take."
Shiranui and Ivan nodded and saw how Asagi left them.
"Now the saving of our comrades is on you too." Shiranui smiled to the man, "I'm meaning on your comrades."
"Yeah, yeah…" the grunted.
The rest of the work day Shiranui was working, and the man either helped her with advice or was falling asleep from time to time.
"Phew!" Shiranui suddenly stretched, "For today, that's enough." she stretched her arms then, "So, I think we can go." she turned her head to the man, as she didn't hear any respond, "Still sleeping?" she got up, 'But still it's not surprising, helping being still not recovered, it's really amazing.' she came closer to him, and looked at him, 'I still can't believe if not him and his people I may wouldn't return.' Shiranui bent a little, 'Thank you for your help especially to Yukikaze.' she kissed him into his lips and then left the office.
'What the hell was that?' the man opened his eye, when he heard how the door was closed, 'What did she mean with that? ' Ivan was confused and surprised at the same time, 'But, it was…' the man pondered, 'She has really good smell.' Next moment the man hit his forehead, 'Damn, what the hell I'm thinking about?! Am I a teen or what?!'
The man was sitting in such position for some time, until. Shiranui didn't return. He was thinking a lot, mostly about helping to Taimanin. He still din't understand, why he was energetic helping them.
"Got up?" Shiranui said after opening the door, now she was in her usual official clothes. Which she had in the morning.
"Yeah." the man rubbed his eye, "So, to the home?"
"Not now." Shiranui smiled to him, "We're going to have something sweet. Didn't you forget?"
"It seems Yukikaze knows how to insist." Commander sighed, but still got up, "Fine, I didn't eat anything good, since morning."
"Come on, I'll help you." the mother of Yukikaze handed her hand t the man and helped him to get up, "Everyone is waiting near the gates."
"Then let's go, don't like to make people waiting for me."
Next moment they left the office of the woman, however Shiranui was assisting the man to walk, until he wouldn't be able to walk on his own.
