Night.
Many steam pipes enveloped the foggy Albion. The deserted and quiet streets were illuminated by lanterns. Only tremulous pleas could be heard in the alley. Their source was the debtor Franky was demanding money from. Unable to reach a compromise, the guards took the wallet and started beating the man.
A shadow began to move towards them, and Franky, noticing this, squinted and said.
— Hey, girl, you shouldn't be walking around this area at night.
She unsheathed her katana. The collectors sensed something was wrong and pulled out their guns, threatening them. But the girl did not stop, but gradually approached them. They started firing bullets without warning, but when they saw the unknown woman casually deflecting them, they rushed off.
Frankie ran down the street and took them to another alley to catch his breath. He, thinking that everything had already been resolved, spoke up.
— I told you it was a bad neighborhood!
A voice with a Russian accent came from the dark part.
— Do you think this is a bad neighborhood? — said the Svyat, who came out in a new suit with a cap and a raincoat with an inconspicuous pattern of scales.
The men got scared again and were already backing away, but Chise appeared on the other side of the alley.
In the blink of an eye, the debt collectors were rushing away with bruises. Svyat, having given the man's things, took out a sickle and held it forward with the handle, Chise, sighing, banged the handle of the katana. After that, they headed down the road towards the academy. The girl said ironically.
— You know, I think Ange and the others will really like that, instead of correcting a botched assignment, we're fighting back against any punks.
Svyat changed his cheerful expression to a depressing one.
— I agree, we'll get it, but it's not our fault that we were forced to "quietly watch" while they solve their own crosswords.
Chise, crossing his arms.
— Maybe because it will be easier for them to "solve" the ciphers in their own language? And we've needed some movement for a long time, judging by your form.
Svyat stopped and looked at his new equipment and expressed a misunderstanding.
— Yes, I have a normal form!
At this time in the new royal house. Olivia came into Mary's room and what an old woman. The girl introduced the new staff.
— Princess Mary, I would like to introduce you to Miss Peebles, she is your new tutor.
Mary's face changed. She began to mumble.
— But I am...
— No buts, princess! — Miss Peebles spoke sharply — You are the future queen and you will represent the interests of the kingdom, for this you need to learn literacy, manners and develop a culture of communication to perfection!
The princess looked sad.
In the science room, Ange, Dorothy, Beatrice, and Charlotte were solving a new cipher that control had sent them. The squad leader pulled herself up and said.
— I'm so tired. — How many more are there?
Ange in a monotone voice.
— Another 6 pages is 1440 words.
Dorothy sighed even louder. Svyat and Chise slowly creaked into the room. Ange beckoned them over. The guy came over first, put some kind of sweet on the table and sat down on the couch, leaving Chisa to pant alone. The spy looked at the Japanese woman, and she began to speak.
— We've ruined the mission.
— I ruined... — Svyat said from behind his back.
Ange put down her pen and began to listen carefully.
— So what happened?
Chise sighed and began to remember.
— As you said, at first we arrived at the place, climbing onto the roof, we began to monitor...
— I've been watching. — Svyat shouted again.
Chise pretended not to notice it.
— But because of the stupidity of a certain citizen, we were noticed and we escaped by breaking the glass.
— I broke it!... — the kid corrected again.
— Shut up already! — The Japanese woman shouted.
Ange rolled her eyes, measured herself, and said.
— Maybe it's my fault to send you two on a surveillance mission, especially after a long downtime.
She picked up the pen again and continued to work on the cipher. Chise, and especially Svyat, felt guilty.
The next morning, the entire team began to gather at the royal house.
The natural history room.
Svyat was packing his things when Lawrence came in. They shook hands. And the officer spoke first.
— I still can't get used to your short haircut, and you've had it for 2-3 months now, when will the argument end?
Glory, rummaging through the shelves, answered without being distracted.
— Next year, I think.
Lawrence looked around and saw a hidden sickle. Picking up the weapon, he examined it, and then went to the Table and handed it over with the words.
— Were wigs included in the agreement?
The guy, not noticing the trick, took the sickle and hid it behind his suit, and checking the flask answered.
— They can be used, but I didn't have much choice, I even learned how to make braids.
Putting on his cap, Glory was about to leave, but the officer stopped him.
— Glory, can we talk about something important?
Svyat stopped and said.
— Come on, after I get back, sometime in the evening, okay? — and immediately left the room.
Lawrence remained in the room with a confused look. While the kid was on his way, he dropped by to pick up Chisa and Beatrice and headed for the gate. There was a coachman with a cart loaded with two strong horses. Dorothy was already sitting inside when Svyat wanted to get in, but the man stopped him, and an altercation began.
By this point, Ange and Charlotte had arrived. And the kid was arguing with the coachman.
— I mean, how can I not go!? Who forbade it!?
The man, in a calm voice, wanted to explain everything correctly, but Svyat did not listen and made claims.
— So I'm not a benevolent person, am I!? "Strangers are not allowed to know where the royal is" and blah blah blah. Make the security normal, so at least there will be fewer adventures.
The kid left in a bad mood. While the princess was trying to talk to the coachman, but to no avail. The girls, after talking among themselves, managed to postpone the departure of the carriage.
The enraged Svyat was walking into the room, bumping into Lawrence on the way.
— Can you imagine, Low, they sent me, they said "you can't go there", as if I was robbing this new castle.
The kid went inside and started changing clothes. An officer followed him, handed him a letter, and said.
— A girl came here and asked me to give it to you.
Glory took the envelope with his name on it and opened it. It was written on it that Glory was no longer an intern and had no right to be there and disclose about the control. Svyat's heart burned out and he furiously began to pack a suitcase. Lawrence asked softly.
— What's wrong?
As he laid out his clothes, he answered.
— Yes, they just fired me from my job and expelled me from the academy, beetroot! And who do you think will take my place now, huh?
The guy took out his letter and spoke awkwardly.
— Well, that's what I understand.
Svyat looked at his friend in perplexity. And he spoke with irritation.
— It's been you all this time... So you want to fuck me off? Welcome, bitch, come on. Then I'll fuck you too. So let's hug, let's go together, right? Holy shit!
Lawrence, feeling guilty, continued.
— It turns out that, and they also told me to return the gun that was given to you.
Svyat, putting a ringing bag and a strange package in a suitcase, answered with a hammer and sickle in his hands.
— They didn't give me any gun!
They looked at the kid's weapon together, and then back at each other. At that moment, Ange, Dorothy, and Charlotte came into the room. But Svyat could not restrain himself and shouted.
— Fuck you all, you ungrateful sons of bitches, I'm trying for you, I'm helping you in any way I can, and you're criticizing, criticizing!
Defiantly letting go of the weapon, which fell to the floor with a bang, he closed the suitcase and, bypassing everyone, left the room.
When he reached the garage, he saw Chise waiting. Svyat was muttering to himself as he passed the girl. She said it casually.
— They dropped me off too.
The kid stopped and asked.
— So what are you going to do now?
— I'm going home, I've been wanting to go and see if everything is in place. — told Chise. — if you want, you can also pay for the campaign.
Glory stood silently and considered the offer and eventually agreed emotionally. Steve came, without asking any questions, took them to Lord Horikawa. From there, they boarded the train without delay and, saying goodbye to the mechanic, left.
By this time, the girls got into the carriage and, taking Lawrence with them, they were taken to the new royal house.
In Japan, upon reaching the capital, Svyat, upon seeing the palace, and Lawrence, seemed to say in unison.
— Where did I get to?
— Where did I get to?
