Chapter 3

– You know … I never knew – she said with a carefree smile

It was autuh

– Why is everyone so afraid of spies?

Hasumin

She was born in a trading caravan, together with their parents often stop off at the village ACURE and well get along with saboteurs who lived there But even if it recognized that they themselves and saboteurs – “different” creation Hasumin never considered their way of life

In general, everything that did not concerntraders were mostly tolerant of people … and even tolerant

During his lifetiht and sold ot used to the fact that different people live, and look at the world differently Moreover, they are well aware that all of these “differences” had a specific… and that they themselves, merchants, were only one kind of people

Just like the “experts of the war” and “war rel”, known as saboteurs

From the viewpoint Hasumin they just another type of people

But…

– So after saboteurs strong – with pressure told her the Torah, at that ti boy

Torah and Hasumin sat next to each other on an area on the outskirts of the village

Born into a fa, seen a lot, and the Torah always interested in listening to her stories Often it truly amazed even such details, which she mentioned with indifference That is why, every ti off exercise and found time to enjoy another carefree conversation

– We are strong, so we are afraid It is obvious

Torah never left the boundaries of the village and did not knoas manifested fear of other people before saboteurs Moreover – it is not even knohat is considered normal and accepted in the world So he understood the fear of other people before saboteurs directly on a child … or rather, thought he understood

– No It’s not that – Hasu … but then people were afraid to and icians, is not it?

– Then …

Thor was silent

Even in those days when he did not know icians

Own icians body did not differ special force, and froerous babies But when it caicians ahead saboteurs literally an order of h fuel, he could single-handedly destroy the whole castle to the ground The ra is their ic

If we compare only one destructive power, the saboteurs and the soles were not good icians

But, of course … in the battle against the ician saboteur first triumphed 8-9 in bouts of 10

This can hardly be called battles Learning that is fighting against thewould not attack head-on, and tried to kill thespell of time

But … Hasuht anyone

And it is not about who has the most power

Thor knew it, and it therefore does not understand

If so, then why are afraid of spies?

– Probably, the thing felt

– Feelings?

– Or in the mood

– What are you …? – Toru asked, frowning

He did not understand What say Hasumin?

– Saboteurs in fact ready to do anything to accoht?

Sowing doubt rhetoric Co hostages, betray, lie, and lory despicable and dishonest people They could unabashedly commit such at that adequate person for ould be decided not so simple

– Because we saboteurs, – not without pride, said Toru

He taught that it is this – the foundation of life of saboteurs and the key to their power What distinguishes thehts, bound by ties of honor and nobility It is understood all countries, and that is why the demand for saboteur remained stable

– But other so they can not So they are afraid – Hasuo for it They can not feel neither shame nor remorse Probably … people are afraid of temper, which allows them to it

– What does it mean? – Grimly said Toru – Is it possible that you think so, Hasumin?

Laborers battlefield Shawky powers

Ready to go to any baseness in order to achieve the goal Inglourious Basterds

Conventional wisdom about saboteurs had about that Torah has always believed that all of these people, bound hand and foot “honor” and “justice”, just secretly jealous of them and their true power

But…

– I’m not afraid of you – with a smile replied Hasumin

It is slightly bent and looked into her eyes sitting next to her Torah Her eyes did not look through any anger or ridicule They looked like eyes big sister teaches her stubborn brother The real “big sister” in the Torah was not

– Neither I nor the rest of thein ACURE – confident tone Hasu at you, we began to realize that the oal After that we si we are similar, and in some ways different

– …

Hasumin words proved too abstract for the Torah, and he did not understand them until the end

But Hasu had happened Later Thor realized that she did not try such a way to make hiht to say these words with the future in the hope that one day the Torah understand their

– But most likely, someone else about it is pointless to ask Perhaps even we only think we understand you and really just made a mistake, or you tricked us

– We would not …

– I know I said “ to the Torah – In the end … a belief – it is strictly a one-way thing

– …

“One-way” Not seeking responsiveness, understanding and empathy

For some reason, the Torah is the word seemed terribly sad

He felt that Hasumin words sounded ridiculous

And to this day the Torah remembered that on that day he could not sleep

When Thor woke up, it felt that he was a little hard to breathe

Probably affects the load on the chest

– M …

However, this burden was not at all heavy

Thor slept with his back against the stone wall On his chest is sleeping another person He twitched a little in his sleep, redistributing weight Apparently, this caused the severity of the Torah breathing

– …

He looked down a bit and saw a silver hair

This girl looked as low as before … or rather, it seeMaybe this is some feature of the body, maybe the disease Samu it was row breasts … but the Torah, in turn, did not care

Gull

On hands and feet sitting in the lotus position Toru Princess curled up dead country She was so smoothly, as if to say that it is the place Her appearance resembled a kitten or a puppy, who found a favorite place on the body of its owner – under his arm, the neck or the shoulder – and comfortably ensconced there

Right now they are in the e maze

– A…

Head for some reason refused to work

What is this place … where are they?

– This is…

Thor shook his head a couple of ti sleep

His an to clear, and yet he felt as it is filled with an understanding of where they are, and the ot here

– Oh, yes … it’s …

Ruins of an old abandoned castle

Inside the fortress, built during the war, often detected labyrinths started to sae army was not able to quickly seize the pre, and the roo refractory stones, so as not to allow the eneh them

Even more solid fortress and supplied all sorts of traps to attack fro oil … often prepared some traps Tohru looked up and noticed immediately on the opposite wall a few loopholes, have done just that purpose

Yes, they were not in the room and in the hallway

Not the best place to sleep

But…

– …

Thor looked at the thing Gull cuddle

Long, hard and cold “ic stick” – a favorite Gundo Gulls It looked old, but hard to do, and the Torah had never seen, that it broke Of course, for this surely ought to thank that gull regularly disassembled and carefully looked after him

Gundo work by e a low hum

Let Seagull and slept, her spell is still in effect

I think it was called “The Guardian” It refers to the type of protective ic and fundamentally no different from similar, for example, “hard shell” and “Blue Tomb

It included it every time they went to bed, and the Torah had already becoe was quite small, and so they had to huddle to one another But in addition to protection against bladed weapons this barrier protected froician

Even in sleep Torah superb ene in it from a distanceTherefore, it spells is a necessary component of life, which they spent in the pursuit and on the run

– Seagull

– …

He quietly called her nairl nervously fumbled

It seeaining consciousness

– Seagull

He called her again, but she did not wake up again, and jerked a couple of times

Tohru sently ran his hands over her silky silver hair Gently pushi+ng them, he found a small pale ear, held it to his lips and …

– Seagull !!!

– Fgё ?!

Seagull started so abruptly, as if it was struck by lightning

Such a resounding voice in his ear, in addition to the bite could even awaken the dorull ju

Toru had to quickly pull away, so as not to hit his jaw on her shoulder

– Thor … – Seagull turned to him

Her chared since their firstNow it looks around the Torah with some dissatisfaction

– Goodhis hand – I see you slept well

– … TheIt requires review

– Revision? What are you talking about? – With a smile I asked the Torah

Magical barrier does not negate the fact that they were on the run and were able to i words, no shaking could not wake the sleeping soundly SeagullTherefore, the Torah switched to a pretty tough way to wake her, which has recently enjoyed the time

Apparently, he was not satisfied with Seagull

– Needs to improve!

– A? Well, as I then wake you?

– Um …

Seagull folded her arms and bowed her head

It looks like his plan, she had not really She shook her head rhyth to shake the idea out of his brain, and then …

– Whisper An ear Al seagull with a dreamy look

– You is not wake up

– The Torah Ier – Listen … to the end The above is the first stepThen the second stage

– Even the stage? Wow

– Gently Soft Cheek – assiduously ignoring the stronger crushes the Torah, Seagull some embarrass

– Ceremony? What other ceremony?

– Cheek … or … just … lips …

Seagull’s voice grew quieter, and her pale cheeks – all red

Thor frowned and asked:

– Cheek? Ah, understand, I want to I’?

– Failure! – Seagull snapped, sulkily

Not only its appearance but also all the gestures were quite childish and did not change Torah soull itself this is not exactly known due to the failure of the memory

– The Torah Monster Bite – Seagull with displeasure pointed a finger at hie Bad Influence Frederica

– Savage, then? Well, – I nodded Torah flourish – So be it I like it even somewhat flattered And if I am a monster, then let’s try method available only monsters

– M?

– I’ve got a needle, – said the Torah, out of his pocket an iron needle and deull – It can stick under the nail

– Refusal, rebuff, sverhotkaz! – Seagull cried, sta his feet

– I think of it you just wake up

– Torture is prohibited

– No, I’, so it’s not torture

– Martyrdom prohibited

– So then even traces will re the needle back

– Severe life – Chaika said, exhaling and dropping shoulders

– These are h, probably not

Then he looked at the long black box that was lying next to them

…Coffin

Maybe Seagull and kept hiht and within ars, but also, above all, those “reht

Parts of the corpse of her father, the Emperor of the daht characters”

– M? – Seagull stared at Thor

Apparently, she did not understand theof his whisper

– Although it is not The end is now not see to the coffin

– …I see

– You’re … three

In fact, they have already collected … 14 fragments

Initially, the emperor remains divided into 8 parts, but then soain, and as a result the Torah and Seagull have to look for 17 fraginal nu some people inexplicably provided themselves with counterfeits and fakes, which do not just once or twice across the Torah during their travels

Long way Very long

But soon their journey to collect “remains” will come to an end

Rements, and they knehere to find them

More precisely, they knened them

– However, these 3 will take us a lot of hassle

Tohru sighed

“Lots of trouble” … this expression up close and does not describe reality

On these reeration that produce them will be “impossible”

The last three fragments were in Alberic Gillette

In Alberic it was already 9 henchroup died, but he was appointed twice as many peopleAnd besides, behind Alberic, unlike the Torah, there was an entire organization And the people and the equipment they had in abundance

Torah and Seagull resisted them only two

Akari … was no more

As for Frederick, then one day it was gone, and the more they have not seen her Apparently, they had hoped in vain that feil be able to understand the thoughts and motivations of people

Simply put, the opponents had a five-fold numerical superiority

Moreover, opponents used the resources of the organization, and the three “fragment” froht the Torah and The Seagull We can say, Gillette squad did not hide the fact that the latter are the remains of theirs, just because they had no doubts in his victory

Torah and Seagull penetrated into the palace in the pursuit of Alberic

They were able to meet with him at any time

So, there was a considerable chance that here the journey will end

– But … because our eneht’s rest, eat well and carefully prepared, – muttered the Torah

– The Torah I could sleep? – A sympathetic view of Gull asked him

– Yes I saw … a dream of the past

– About the past?

– I do not even reht against Alberic detachment from “the valley, from which no one returns,” that near Rademio

– …

His face darkened gulls

The case forever cast a shadow on their squad

Because of what happened during the battle landslide killed Akari

– Thor …

– But it was just a dream, now it does not ot to his feet

He was happy that the Seagull is alsothe death of Akari … but he has no plans to drive her into despair

– In a sense, it is even convenient

– Conveniently?

– After all, they have collected as many as three pieces for us If you’ll end detachment Alberic – all 3 stroke and pick

– … I agree – Chaika said with a smile – The Torah

And then, as if she were soainst the wall near his Gundo and held out her hands to the Torah

Her pale fingers lay on his cheeks

– M …

Seagull asked if Thor bow … rather, it is al resist Torah ducked and let Seagull finish the job

Seagull little stretched, and then joined his lips with his

– …

– …

Time passed slowly, dense flow

When Seagull finally let go of his lips, she smiled sheepishly

– Thank you Sign … thanks

– Seagull …

Tohru blinked and looked at srebrovlasuyu girl

They were kissing was not the first ti that the Torah like often confused She herself greatly e up with theratitude”

Tohru shtly and said:

– You’re done it as my mistress? Or…

– Both

Mistress and servant Man and woman

It would not be wrong to say that the relationshi+p between the Torah and the Chaika belonged to both types

By the way, and when they do the first time kissed?

Thor went on this trip for the Seagulls … but first he was led forward only eh to risk their lives

But that did not mean that he could not appear other reasons

After Akari it was not, and they began to travel together … only in relations Torah and Gulls naturally has another face

They both wanted the distance between them was reduced to a minimum

Initially this was due to a desire to somehow cope with anxiety by the fact that they wandered in a world in which there was no place for the in the fact that over time, it has turned into love

Torah has always considered that the reasons give strength

Debt Sympathy Empathy And love

– What Co the moment of truth

– Agree – with a sull and hoisted the coffin on his back

Inside the barrier “Guardian” heavy silence reigned

– …

– …

Airls deprived of speech

Before their eyes unfolded so but to silently look at it wide-eyed “The Guardian” – a powerful protective spell, but you can not ether with the barrier Therefore, they could only look on as hard as it may be

And finally …

– Seagull – quietly murmured Akari – What is it?

– U – Love scene?

– Uh-huh It seems – Akari aardly nodded

Generally speaking, in an event that was not a passionate exchange of feelings inherent in “love scene” … and if you talk straight, and on bed rest, this scene is not pulled That’s just inside the barrier there was no man who could calmly say so

– I knew it … – Akari slowly stood up and turned to the Seagull – What move to eliminate the need was much earlier …

Akari bent fingers on both hands, because of what they looked like claws, ready at any ull Her face, by the way, as always, did not express any eer, it was clear and without it

– Akari

– What?

– I beg Calm

– I’m always calm, – said Akari neutral voice – I quietly decided that if you finished off early, you do not have time to ohmurit my brother

– Akari, Akari I’m here

– Uh-huh I only now realize how lucky I am that you are always there – you so much easier to kill

– There Other … I

Chaika pointed the finger of a translucent barrier On the other hand it was a few stone walls Robust, powerful fortifications They were standing so that resembled a corridor, which served as one of the protective boundaries of the old castle

And this wall … there was a small crack

So small that a person would not cli on the other side of the wall

Torah And another gull

Appearance Character Clothing Everything is exactly the same

A replica of how one looks

But … if there is, next to the Torah – Seagull, then who is the gull that is located inside the barrier? Is this a twin sister?

In other words…

– Hulls – Of course, fro I knew it

– …

Seagull looking at her askance, as if trying to say so

But impenetrable expression facial Akari easily reflected this vieing her head, she continued:

– Still, it’s strange This again focuses of the formless lizard?

Akari looked back through the gap in the Torah and another Seagull

They see talk

– Frederick? M?

Indeed, a few days ago, at the hot springs, Frederick becauise of Seagulls Anyway, Frederick was the only familiar Torah capable of quickly and accurately turn in The Seagull

But…

– Do not attack

– And this is also true …

Frederick would not miss the opportunity to attack him

It is difficult to say whether she would really kill him, but, in any case, it is hardly the reason so to flirt with hi for his chance, then it is no need to do anything – the Torah is now already open to attack from all sides

And what’s more …

– Sos

What they left “three pieces”

What after the event at the “valley from which no one returns,” it’s been a few years

– So maybe it is – a fake, and not my brother? But…

But why these fake played a show here, where no one would see?

By the here they all were?

They are faced with a group of Gillette Then Frederica intervention triggered a landslide As a result, Seagull, Akari, Torah … and, most of all, a few people from the detachment of Gillette fell into the valley

And then Seagull adopted prearranged “Guardian” spell Thor asked her to prepare a coreat a chance that it just hurt theive theht, do not worry about it

Perhaps it was the right decision

At the time of the landslide Akari was very close and was able to penetrate the barrier, but is a bit further to protect the Torah was iulland continued to support him, so she and Akari were safe, but …

When they came to their senses, we realized that the place in which they found themselves, quite unlike the valley floor

Does anyone built a castle on the valley floor to strengthen?

But on the other hand, it seemed too unnatural … how could they fall off a cliff, and then suddenly be indoors? After all, this castle was the ceiling And nointo it, no holes are

– Well if only the place is fine if only the behavior of eneral there is too e I do not knohat kind of a et tohim to his senses – Akari turned to Chaika and continued, – Call off the barrier Let us and the separation wall, but et to her brother

– Um …

But Seagull thinking about so else and withdraw the “Guardian” in no hurry

– What is it, Gull?

– …Maybe Magic

– Magic ?

– Illusory,to his Gundo – I and Akari The “Guardian” zone

– You mean the manipulation of consciousness does not work for us?

– Uull nodded – Matter Wednesday Intervention in the psyche

The atomized mist to a level of material easily penetrate into the body

Chaika explained that it is enough to touch the parts of the body with a lot of nerves – eyes, nose, tongue, or so forth, and be able to earn a spell subordination of consciousness

– But if our ap in the wall – that’s e also see a “fake”?

– Matter

– …It? Also it?

– Probably People Walls Ceiling All – Seagull finger gestured all around you – All the matter

– Youpeople who are just stage scenery?

– M source
