iron fire and demons

chapter 3 the contract that started it all

The two demon women observed each other for long minutes making the room remain in a deadly silence, the tension was increasing in every minute the demon oni who was in the room to control Igrid ran away after the tension came to a tension that he could not bear, but the silence fired from an equal sigh of Sokushitsuki who decided to break the ice "do not stay there embarrassed them Igrid, Let's go to a more appropriate room, so we can discuss why you're here."

Igrid annuls her head and then follows the tall woman to her office not before putting the little Shirou comfortable in her arms, the path to get to Sokushitsuki's office was not so long lasting only five minutes of walking.

When Igrid entered Sokushitsuki's office a slight grimace of discomfort formed in her face as the nauseated stench of alcohol entered her nostrils. "I see that your habit with alcohol has worsened in these few months." I declare as he covered his mouth and nose with the red in his arms.

"Sorry for the state of my office, but I was drinking with a friend when you came to my property unexpectedly." Sokushitsuki's voice became cold and solemn but also respectful towards the infernal knight as he opened the windows of his office allowing fresh air to enter and drain the heavy smell of alcohol.

The smell of alcohol did not take a little less than a couple of minutes to disappear almost completely, while Igrid was sitting in a sofa located to the left of the desk I try to put the little Shirou lying on the sofa using his belly pillow for the head, but Nemuri did not allow it, not because he did not want to, but he found it more appropriate for the child to take him to his room.

Igrid thinks about it for a couple of seconds and then nods and leaves the child in the care of his guardians, Nemuri so grabbed the little red and lay in a solid water formation and then left the room not before dragging out the blonde oni who kept complaining.

When the Office was left with only Igrid and Sokushitsuki's presence, the two women remained silent for a couple of minutes waiting for one of them to start talking until Sokushitsuki decided to speak first "Ok Igrid what do you want now? I hope it's not that invitation to join you Nomad again!"

A sigh came out of Igrid's mouth for the dry answer of the beautiful oni samurai was footprint by a couple of messengers who tried to recruit Sokushitsuki and proved to be a very complicated sfina especially for the stubbornness of the oni that did not help "to be honest I'm not here for that, but you know that Lord Black's invitation is always available." A smile formed in Igrid's face as she watched Sokushitsuki change her calm, composed features into a grimace of annoyance.

Sokushitsuki did not have a good opinion of the Nomads that a multinational company that on the outside looks like a company that deals with human welfare but inside shows its true colors, that company actually rotten to its fondamela, uses not unorthodox methods to get among its objectives besides being in circles such as slave sales or kidnapping, in a little pallor for Sokushitsuki is a multi-ridge company.

Sokushitsuki could not do at least mumble certain words against Nomad, and then shift his attention to Igrid who in that malevolent company is Black's right-hand man who is the man in charge "Igrid you have to explain to me what are you doing with those criminals of the Nomads?" I ask with slight curiosity is irritation Sokushitsuki while Igrid raised an eyebrow in confusion "why this sudden question?"

Sokushitsuki got up from his chair and then slammed his hands on the desk for the obvious question "Igrid I ask her because we fought and you know very well that a blade to blade fight is worth a thousand paros for us warriors!" I exclaim with seriousness looking at an Igrid who nodded his head remembering that day, it was Igrid's third attempt to try to convince the most powerful oni to join Black's ranks, the idea was to force the oni woman to join with a blade fight that ends with the victory of Sokushitsuki, After that day between the two women there was a good rivalry.
