- Would you like to be 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 Koko's intent, sharp, and slightly insane gaze.
- No. - two seconds later, said Jack
- Kha! - clutched caricatured for the heart of Coco - What a sharp refusal! Why?
The guy's awkward smile became calm and confident - I'm happy with my current position. Money doesn't interest me. Seeing the world does not appeal to me either. Faithful comrades will not be loyal to me, but to you, Miss Heckmotier. As for the cannons, they are probably even easier to get in Ruanapur than from a merchant like you. Besides, I recently became a subordinate of Balalaika, if you know one. It would be very ugly to leave her so quickly.
Coco smiled excitedly. "What an interesting answer ... I know Miss Balalaika." We're working with her for a bit now ... I have to admit, she looks like she's got a flair too ... And let's move on to you, Jack.
Valmet, meanwhile, was examining Jack with interest. She was a little pissed off that he had turned down Coco so easily and upset her, but she must admit that he had good arguments. Otherwise, the guy in front of them looked like a harmless fellow with a cute appearance. She could not understand why Koko clung to him so ... Although this is far from the first time she does not understand the thoughts of her beloved boss. All she can do is believe in Coco and be damned if she doesn't.
Suddenly Koko approached Valmet and, with a smirk, began to knead her big firm breasts.
- Coco! - Valmet was surprised, but in her voice, one could hear both embarrassment and joy
Jack didn't even raise an eyebrow at that. He remembered Coco's character from the anime, so he saw nothing new. Although he must admit the sight was quite ... interesting.
- How do you like this proposal? Once a month I will give you Valmet's chest to shake! This is a unique offer! Many men dream about this! Agree!
Valmet herself was at a crossroads. She seems to be used now, but her boss's hands are so nice. She blushed and looked at Jack - "... is he surprised? His face is so calm, despite this absurdity ... "
Jack smiled slightly, looking into Coco's eyes - If I wanted to fondle women's breasts, believe me, as a brothel manager, I could do it twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. - then Jack looked down at Valmet and smiled slightly embarrassedly - Of course, Valmet's appearance, figure, and temperament are unique, but it's not worth it. And your proposal, on the contrary, repels me. You want to force Valmet to give access to your chest against your will. I do not like it.
- That's how ... Okay. - answered Koko, letting go of her subordinate and sitting exactly at the table. With a displeased groan, Valmet noted the disappearance of Koko's palms from her chest. "Don't take it seriously. It was more of a joke. I would never force Valmet to do something like that.
Meanwhile, Valmet looked at Jack with interest - "All the time that Koko was playing with my breasts, he didn't even look at them ... All this time he looks us exclusively in the eyes, although this confuses him a little ... Perhaps Koko and it's right that Jack is interesting, but ... But do we need such a comrade? He does not look like a trained soldier, and we are guarding an arms dealer ... "
Koko smirked, but more seriously. "Maybe you don't want to do business with me because I'm an arms dealer?"
- No. - Jack shook his head - Perhaps earlier I would have considered it the reason, but now - no. I, too, turn out to be a bandit, which means that I am no better than you, Miss Heckmotier. Moreover, it is not the weapon that kills, but the man. People, even without your weapon, will find a way to kill their opponent, be it with a stick, a stone, or with their own hands. Weapons are just tools. The man is still pulling the trigger.
Koko with an enthusiastic smile leaned back in her chair - In any case, I'm trading death. Almost nothing better than a drug dealer.
- Coco ... - Valmet said quietly, worried about the boss. She knew that Coco secretly hated her job with all her heart.
- Not at all. - Jack smiled slightly - Drugs kill a person themselves, and a weapon kills only with the help of a person. Of course, this can be questioned, but in my understanding it is.
Koko glared at Jack - Very interesting opinion. You can rarely see him.
Jack slowly got up from the table at which he was sitting with Koko and Valmet - After all, I'm not a fighter. I can be a translator from Chinese and Arabic, but I doubt you have any language barriers. For you, Coco, I'm useless. If that's all, then I think I'll go ...
To the surprise of Coco and Jack, Valmet quickly got up from the chair - I think we can talk a little more. Perhaps you will change your mind when you get to know Coco better. - she said, going up to Jack.
When Valmet approached him, she put her hand on his shoulder and, with a slight effort, sat him back on the chair.
It's time for Jack to get scared or indignant, but instead, he was surprised to notice the strength of this woman - "Khu! How strong is she? Is she a terminator or something? "
Gunther grinned in his head. Almost. This girl has reached the peak of strength, endurance, and agility that a woman can handle. "
Valmet sat down on the shocked looks of Jack and Coco at the table, and when she saw these looks, she was slightly embarrassed and averted her eyes.
At that moment, four armed men approached the table - Boss, are you in trouble?
These were four brothel guards and they did not like Valmet's action.
Valmet herself tensed at the sight of the armed men.
There was tension in the air.
- Nothing special, guys. You can relax. This woman didn't want anything bad. - Closing his eyes, Jack answered, although mentally he was surprised that they immediately stood up for him. There was no such thing when Beatrice spread rot.
- Good. - the men nodded and looked sharply at Valmet, who secretly already kept her knife under the table
Coco never stopped smiling all this time. She looked into Valmet's eyes, and she, embarrassed and guilty, averted her gaze quietly saying: "Sorry."
"Do you approve of him? Good." - thought Koko, and then grinned playfully, whispering in Valmet's ear - In the evening I will punish you.
Valmet breathed quickly and slightly trembled all over at the words of her boss, although she knew that her dreams would not come true.
- I apologize for the actions of my subordinate. - Koko bowed slightly
From the fact that Koko had to apologize, Valmet felt even more guilty.
Jack raised his hands - Nothing, nothing. It's just that Valmet loves his boss too much. I understand.
Coco smiled sweetly - You are very kind, Jack. I am grateful to you for that.
He just brushed it off ...
Jack then talked to Coco for about an hour about various things. The girl tried to find out as much as possible about him, and Jack sometimes answered truthfully and sometimes floridly. Valmet, on the other hand, mostly listened to their conversation and sometimes said something herself.
- Interesting. I can't believe what you are saying. - Koko leaned back in her chair, shaking her head
Jack threw up his hands - It's true. In two weeks I lost twenty-five kilograms. I think I can do more if I have a sensible coach.
Koko narrowed her eyes and smiled slyly - Looking for a coach?
- Yes. - Jack nodded and smiled slightly dreamily, looking at his hands - I already found myself a shooting coach to be able to defend myself. I also need a coach to help me bring my body back to normal ... no. Not even that. I am looking for someone who will help me bring this body to its peak.
Both women were slightly surprised by this, but they approved of such zeal.
- How about Valmet? - asked Koko why Valmet herself opened her eyes in surprise, looking at the boss - So she will make amends for today's incident. Let's say during the month that we are resting here, she will train you for several hours a day.
"Coco, are you giving up trying to recruit him? That's right, it's not your style, back off like that. " - mentally smiled Valmet
It was clear from Jack's face that this proposal interested him. He looked awkwardly at Valmet, and then turned his gaze to Koko - Um, well, I don't want to disturb Valmet's rest ...
- Nothing, I do not mind. I train daily to keep my shape. I think it will be even more fun with you. - Valmet smiled, deciding to help her beloved boss.
In addition, she was already beginning to be interested in this young guy. A member of the mafia that runs one of the most popular brothels in the area and helps orphans with clothes, toys, and books ... This is a mixture ... Most importantly, there is no fake in this. Only sincerity.
Koko grinned. - "Well done, Valmet. You understand everything." So? Agree. There is no better coach than her.
Jack shook his head and smiled slightly happily. "Good." I agree. - then he looked into the eyes of Valmet - Where can I find you and at what time?
- We stayed at the Balalaiki hostel. Opposite the Hotel Moscow. I think you know where it is. As for the time, it will be seven in the morning. I'm used to studying in the morning ... Of course, if you are not busy with this period of the day.
- Seven in the morning, good. I'm not busy. - Jack nodded, and then looked into Valmet's eyes with amusement - Well, I'm counting on you, coach.
Valmet chuckled, folding her arms under her chest - I will do my best, but the main work lies with you, remember.
"Trust me, I know. - Jack nodded.
- Wait. - Koko raised her hand with a smirk. I'm with you.
Valmet and Jack looked at Coco with incomprehension.
- Valmet, just look. - said Koko and began to pull a small amount of fat on her sides - It's time for me to work out too.
- No need, Coco! You are perfect! - said Valmet quickly
- No, I need to work out. - said Koko and unnoticed by Jack Valmet winked
- Ah ... Well ... Coco, of course, you don't need this, but it will be good for your health. - Valmet nodded, understanding what the boss wants
Koko, meanwhile, looked innocently at Jack - Do you mind that I will compose a campaign for you?
- No. Of course not. - Jack smiled, mentally realizing that the girl did not give up on his recruitment
- Excellent. I'll see you tomorrow morning then. - Koko said with a smile, getting up - Valmet will meet you at the entrance and take you to the training place.
Jack nodded, standing up too. "It was a pleasant conversation.
...
Valmet and Koko left Ishtar. The sun has already set over the horizon. A pleasant warm breeze caressed their hair.
- And how do you like it? - Coco smiled slightly
- Well ... he is certainly an interesting guy, but Koko, he will be the ballast in our team ... Although, of course, the decision is up to you. I will always support you.
- It's clear. - Coco nodded, smiling - I will pull some strings and try to find out as much as possible about him ... I think he will surprise us.
