Chapter 24 - Proposal

- Coco, please don't go so far from me! - a muscular woman who was slightly shorter than Jack spoke loudly

- Don't be afraid, Valmet. This part of the city is pretty safe. Relax, we're on vacation.

As soon as Jack heard this, he froze, and his heart trembled.

- "Well, no ..." - he thought in dismay

Gunther grinned, and Jack realized that there are many more dangerous women in this world than he originally thought.

Still, in disbelief, he turned carefully to see the owners of these voices.

"Ruanapur is very dangerous, Coco, you know very well yourself. The fact that we are on the territory of Balalaika does not mean that we are safe. Said a muscular middle-aged woman with dark hair that fell just below her broad shoulders. One eye was hidden behind a blindfold, the other gleamed with its honey color.

Picture:

- "... damn ... I called Beatrice an Amazon, but how wrong I was ... How is this woman able to have such a formidable body and at the same time maintain her femininity? .." - Impressed, he widened his eyes

Then Jack looked at Coco. She was a young girl with long, snow-white hair, light blue eyes, and very pale skin. She was wearing a white shirt that was only fastened with a few buttons, which resulted in a light breeze exposing her flat tummy every time.

Picture:

- "Coco Heckmotier ... beautiful ... beautiful walking problem ... she's even more unpredictable and insane than Revie ..."

Koko put her hands behind her back and smiled - I know that Ruanapur is dangerous, but with you Valmet, I feel completely safe.

"Oh, no need to praise me, Coco. - this stern-looking woman was embarrassed that she can twist a couple of men and not sweat. Although it was evident that she was very pleased with the compliment.

Jack looked at the embarrassed Valmet, and therefore he was shocked when he looked at Coco, who was staring at him.

Their gazes met. Jack's a wary and still shocked gaze and Coco's sharp, penetrating, and frankly insistent gaze.

- "Atas!" - Jack shouted in his head and nervously smiled at the girl, quickly directed his legs towards the brothel

It took only a few seconds for him to disappear from the girl's eyes with a brisk step that bordered on running.

Koko smiled energetically, with anticipation - Valmet, have you seen that guy?

- Yeah. - Valmet nodded, pulling herself together

Coco insidiously, and most importantly, greedily smiled - I want him ...

Valmet stumbled and almost fell - K-Koko, you can't do it so sharply! You're seeing him for the first time! Yes, he is cute, but still ... - she said with panic and a bit of jealousy.

Koko grinned, covering her mouth with her hand - Ha, you should have seen yourself!

Valmet shook her head, exhaling. "Is this a joke?"

Koko closed her eyes and stretched out, spun in place - No. I want him to be part of our team. - the girl grinned - My instinct screams to me that this guy is special, and you know that instinct never lets me down!

Valmet rubbed her forehead and sighed.

Koko poked herself in the cheek with her index finger and said thoughtfully - But he obviously ran away from me now ... Maybe I lost my charm?

- What you! Not a drop! - Valmet answered quickly, waving her hands - I guess I scared him!

Koko waved her hand - No, you're not scary, Valmet, as you think. He ran away from me. I caught his eye, and he immediately disappeared ... It feels like he recognized me, although we haven't met.

Valmet shook her head - And yet, you can't just take someone into the team. We know absolutely nothing about him ...

Koko pouted and folded her arms across her chest - I just said I wanted to, but I didn't say that I would recruit him right now.

"W-I'm sorry, I'm just worried about your safety. - Valmet said quickly

Koko chuckled at the woman's nervous face - Follow him!

- BUT? - Valmet was surprised when Koko grabbed her hand and took her to the brothel

Koko chuckled - He went into this brothel, but it was clear from his appearance that he was not a walker to such establishments, which means, most likely, he ran here to hide from me. Ku-Ku-Ku, only from me no one has yet ~ be ~ ha ~ al. - she sang at the end

- "She is so beautiful when she is passionate about something." - Valmet thought with a smile, entering Ishtar with her boss

The place was greeted with playful scents of aroma candles and live music.

- Oh, it's not bad here. - smiled Coco

- Yes. - Valmet nodded, noticing a few good elastic asses that passed by

Slightly looking around, Koko narrowed her eyes - He's not here ... Interesting. Did he escape through the back door?

Valmet shrugged her shoulders - Let's ask.

...

- "Gunther! You didn't say there are several anime universes in this world! "

- "Yeah." - O'Dim grinned rather

- "Why?!" - quickly walking through his office, asked Jack in surprise

Mister mirror threw up his hands and innocently said - "You did not ask."

At this point, Jack wanted to bite O'Dim, to the envy of the mad dog.

Laughing enough, Gunther shook his head. "Even if you asked, I would not answer. So not interesting, do you understand? "

Jack grabbed his face with a groan.

- "Anyway, why did you run away?" - Gunter chuckled

Jack sighed. "I already have enough adventure. Also, I can hardly stand Coco. I'm too weak to deal with monsters like that in a skirt. Revi with Balalaika is enough for me. "

The glass man slightly tilted his head to the side - "Well, it's up to you, but in that case, you acted very recklessly ... If I didn't know that you weren't doing this on purpose, I would even pat you."

Jack was surprised, raising his eyebrows in an arc. "What? What are you talking about?"

- "Jack, Jack, Jack ... When you saw Koko and Valmet, you should have behaved as calmly as possible, and then, perhaps, they would not have looked for you. However, you have made a serious mistake. With your strange and even mysterious behavior, you have interested Coco. Played her appetite. We can say that you awakened the passion of hunting in her. Now she is unlikely to let you go. "

Jack froze, and then grabbed his hair, realizing that most likely O'Dim was right. - "Oh ~ yo!"

Gunther smirked slightly. "I don't see anything bad in this situation. For example, you could somehow ask Valmet to teach you knife fighting, as well as train you. This woman knows a lot about the development of the body. "

Jack shook his head - "Maybe he will carry it all the same?"

Suddenly there was a knock on the office door.

At the same moment, Gunther's smile turned into an anticipatory grin, and Jack's face became slightly sour.

He walked over to the door and opened it carefully. "Yes?"

A puzzled Lola stood on the threshold - Jack, they are looking for you.

Jack smiled tightly. "Yes?" And who?

- I do not know. - Lola shrugged. - Two women. One is tall and muscular, and the other is pale.

- I see ... - he gasped - Okay, tell me, I'll be there soon.

In response, Lola nodded and drowned.

Jack immediately closed the door and flopped down on the sofa.

For about a minute he lay, trying to calm the frenzied stream of thoughts in his head.

Gunther smiled charmingly - "Jack, do you understand that Koko, with Valmet, can come up here herself if you continue to roll around here?"

Jack moaned in displeasure, hiding his face behind his palms - "Why am I not so lucky? At first, I butted him like this with Revi, now I just found Koko and Valmet on the street ... and what next? Will Rias Gremory come and say that I have a holy mechanism inside and I must become her servant? "

Gunther laughed. "Ha ha ha, it would be nice, but I can tell you for sure that you do not have a holy mechanism. As for luck, don't you find it very good with you? Ordinary people would have been happy with such a good fortune, but for some reason not you. "

Jack scratched his eyes wearily. "Since when have I been blessed with the luck of a typical harm man's hero? Why don't I have the luck of a typical shine hero who can find great weapons somewhere in the cave? "

Gunther shook his head. "You want a lot. Say thank you for not being endowed with Yuki Rito's luck. "

- Fuck. - Jack choked on saliva at the thought that he could have this guy's luck - "Okay, you're right. You can't sit here forever. Need to go." - Jack said mentally, getting up - "It's better to talk there, in the hall, where there are a lot of people than here alone."

...

Jack slowly left the office. From a height, he could see how Valmet and Koko were sitting at a table in the hall. The latter was already drinking wine.

- "Oh my God, she still won't be sober ..." - with a sigh, Jack twitched his nose and slowly stomped down

On the way, Koko and Valmet noticed him.

And if Valmet examined him with interest, then Koko, swaying in the chair, burned him with her slightly dull look of a predator.

In the end, Jack walked over to their table and, smiling slightly awkwardly, said - I am Jack, the manager of this establishment. Did you want to see me?

- So your name is Jack, right? Good name. - Coco nodded - I'm Coco Heckmotier, an arms dealer.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Heckmotier. Jack nodded. He was not going to stretch out his palm for a handshake to this girl, because he did not want Valmet to break his arm. Of course, this is exaggerated, but Valmet looked at everyone like a kite, protecting her beloved boss.

- Oh and me ... So ... - she said slowly, and then with a jerk brought her face to Jack's face - Do you want to become my subordinate, Jack? The salary is great! There is an opportunity to see the whole world, and the set includes loyal comrades and cool guns! What do you say?

Valmet covered her face with her hand, realizing that this was her whole boss.

Jack, on the other hand, tried not to take his eyes off Coco's intent, sharp, and slightly insane gaze.
