[ Aigoni ] : This means, O my sir, that after all these years, the mastermind of this catastrophe has died, he himself of course, it is not reasonable for any creature upon the face of the earth to live more than a hundred and a few years in this life, correct?
[ The President ] : This is something certain of it, and this is what makes us believe that the act of flooding the world is a matter that became inherited across the years, meaning from the hand of the mastermind to what is after him, did you both understand my intention? The matters here are not random, for if they were likewise, then directly after the death of the causing one in this global catastrophe, the balance would have been disrupted and perhaps we would have been able to rid the lands from the drowning, but unfortunately we are, upon what it appears, before an organized and striking strength possessing an organized military planning or at least semi-organized, and here the question returns us to the point of beginning and it is how did the animals, specially the inhabitants of the sea, arrive to this development? No matter how much the human mind thinks, it will not find an answer....
Silence prevailed between everyone for a duration of 3 minutes as if their brains became busy in endless questions.
[ The President ] : Ahem, ahem, ahem. Let us close now all of these files, for opening them now will not benefit us currently..... Upon us now is the completing of the full procedures for the work here or the joining to the ranks of the resistance, you both must know the contract and the rules of the work and its conditions.
He looked toward Yoroka and the latter paid attention immediately to him.
[ The President ] : Bring the form of the contract and the document of the conditions and all that concerns that, it is directly upon my desk.
[ Yoroka ] : Present.
Yoroka indeed advanced to where his desk is and after moments several papers appear near the president and at that time he pulled one of them to his front.
[ The President ] : Come on now, O Kinojo, return to to sit in the chair which you were upon previously, I believe that you obtained upon what you were wanting, you can return to where you were...
[ Kinojo ] : Ah, present,
[ Kinojo ] in his mind: What is the reason that makes him desire with my distancing? Surely there is a certain subject... having sensitivity upon a child like me.
Kinojo distanced away from the table of meetings, returning to where he was.
[ The President ] : I will start now with the displaying of the conditions of the work here, so listen well to me.
[ Aigoni ] in her mind : Strange, despite that we will not start the work now, yet he wants to annoy us more with the conditions of the work.... I hope that they will not be complicated and annoying like the Chigi.
[ The President ] : Ahem, the first condition: and it is that upon the Kaijen is the presence to perform the national and human duty in any time it was, and to explain to you both, indeed with us this condition means that even if you both were sleeping, you both will be summoned, even if you both were in the middle of a celebration, and even if you both were in the period of consuming food, meaning in all these periods you both might be summoned and the reason lies is because the danger comes in any moment it was, okay.
[ Naraji ] in his mind : First condition and it is very annoying and rather it violates and destroys the privacy.
[ Aigoni ] in her mind : It is from the certain that the following condition is more fierce than the first.
[ The President ] : The second condition: discipline, and this is a known matter in any institution.
[ Aigoni ] in her mind : Okay, it is a condition simple of implementation relatively, although I expected worse than that.
[ The President ] : The third condition: this condition concerns the physical state, the physical and not the health state, because for example if you were sick then you by yourself will not advance with your request, so what I intend with the physical state is that the body be strong meaning it is not very slender, devoid of resistance to the most trivial damages, that it be capable upon carrying the heaviest weights and that is because you will deal with the stones possessing big weights and perhaps even blocks of metals, and you be proficient and the good physical fighting to the excellence to the maximum because with all simplicity it is not possible the reliance upon the techniques alone,... also it is not correct that the individual be ever of a short stature except if his request with the joining was with the purpose that he be a healer meaning he bandages the dangerous wounds which and with certainty any Kaijen will be afflicted with them.... and in your state, O Lady Hetsoga, I see that you are not slender and short and this is very good, but despite that, you and Mr. Hetsoga are in need to training your two bodies and refining them skillfully.
[ The President ] : The fourth condition: the existence of a weapon for each individual even if he was a healing Kaijen is a thing of extreme importance, and for the explanation, upon each sailor is the carrying of a weapon designated for him because the weapon is before the body and the body is before the technique, and this is for the sake of the fast reaction.
The two siblings looked to each other and there started to appear upon their two faces slight smiles.
[ Naraji ] whispering: What is your opinion? Can I become a veteran samurai?
[ Aigoni ] whispering : With the daily training.... and the harsh one, you will become more than a veteran, but I, from the possible that I become a swordswoman or I might choose the nunchaku, but that there be present in it a blade instead of that they both be just two cylinders.
[ The President ] : Now focus well in this fifth condition because it is the most important, forbidden... with absolute prevention... that the individual flee by escaping from the battle.... and the meaning of this is that for example the individual went to a mission assigned to him then clashed with the enemy a violent clash to its maximum degrees and this mostly happens when there is one of the black sea dragons, and when the situation becomes difficult upon him more than his energy and his capability, he thinks in the escaping from the battle and this exactly is what we prevent... because you were not listed within the ranks of the resistance in order to fail humanity in the end with your escaping, and this means that he who suffers from cowardice, it is preferred the lack of his advancing for the work,... you advanced with your request and you were approved upon, after the diving in the battle you must return victorious or dead or even at least you failed in the battle and not fleeing from it.... but I believe from your previous speech that you both have the spirit of the lofty warrior who does not leave the land of death for the mere approaching of his end.
[ Naraji ] in his mind : O my God, we have returned to another difficult condition.
[ Naraji ] : Ah, sir, can I not in the case the situation intensified that I go and return to request more of support?
[ The President ] : No of course, for this act mostly is of no utility and even that it brings danger to the city or to the agency, with the meaning from the possible that the enemy follows you, and originally mostly upon the attempt of returning and requesting support you might not find any of the individuals of the Kaijen, therefore the best is the continuing of the resistance in your place, but you can hide if you were not capable upon the confrontation.
[ Naraji ] : We, O Mr. President, are not mice to hide at the danger, for the hiding brings extends the danger while the confrontation prevents its spreading and as I said we are not mice and it is very insulting the performing of this, for it is resembling with the escaping from the battle but with the difference of remaining in its land.
The president smiled due to his hearing to his speech and Yoroka displayed a slight smile she the other, but each of them carries in that a hidden cunning.
[ The President ] in his mind : This is the purpose from saying the word hide, we know that the person will feel with the provocation and the shaking of his dignity and like this he will think in the direct confrontation instead of the actual hiding and this is what we want originally.
[ The President ] : The sixth condition: the cooperation in the work between the individuals of the group which you both will be in it, meaning let not one of you both believe that he is the strongest, I can do everything by my solitude, and the selfish side starts with appearing, for if you were the strongest capable upon doing anything we would have been to send you by ourselves by your solitude and not with a group.
[ The President ] : The seventh condition: and it is an actual health condition, related to the safety of the health of your body,... upon each sailor before he starts the work in an official manner from the beginning is to be vaccinated against the toxins, why? Because a large number of animals, specially the creatures of the sea, are known for their extreme toxicity which you will be exposed to it of course like the lionfish,.. just as some of them, the mere touching of it exposes you to the poisoning, therefore a vaccine was developed against its toxins.... so you both will go to the nearest hospital to receive the vaccine.
[ The President ] : These were all the conditions of the work here, we request from you both that you do not violate any condition that was mentioned.
Each of them nodded to him with the affirmative while the latter set about taking another documented paper.
[ The President ] : Now the time has come for the getting to know upon the penalties special to the violating of any condition from the conditions.... Let us start with the violating of the first condition, indeed the lack of presence immediately upon receiving the summons leads to the punishment of the individual with the accomplishing of two missions without the obtaining upon their wage.
[ Aigoni ] in her mind : A punishment not bad with it, we can endure two missions without a return, for we two are accustomed upon the lack of financial resources.
[ The President ] : Indeed the punishment of violating the second condition and it is the lack of discipline is the receiving of the individual in the lack of discipline in the obtaining upon his wage, meaning the operation of pulling his money will become turbulent and he might not find it originally or half of the amount is not present and so on.
[ Naraji ] in his mind : Heh, is this the punishment of this? I by myself stole considerable percentages from the funds and during the stealing there was lost sometimes the financial amount all of it, therefore no problem with that I find half a wage.
[ The President ] : Upon you both now is the focusing upon the punishment of violating the fifth condition with extreme listening because this exactly includes a assortment from the punishments.... So, he who fled by escaping from the battle, then the first punishment he will be punished with it is prison....
The two eyes of the siblings dilated with shock, and the president fell silent for a full minute.
[ The President ] : Yes, the first punishment is prison... for a duration of 10 full years and financial fines with the value of a million yen,... and upon the release if he remained alive then there will be performed his returning to the work but not with a guaranteed wage, rather he will work for a duration of six months without his receiving for his wage....
The president looked with sharpness to them while the two siblings opened their mouths in addition to the dilating of their eyes.
[ Naraji ] in his mind : What?.... Prison and a financial fine and the forcing of work without a wage also.... Do they believe us dogs or insects in their hands?
[ Aigoni ] in her mind : Is it not sufficient originally that the person sacrificed with his personal physical life for the sake of humanity? So what is the meaning of all these punishments?
[ The President ] : In the case of the escaping of the individual from the battle but we, the agency, do not possess a proof upon his conviction, and as a precautionary procedure there is performed his imprisoning for a duration of 5 years and his financial fine will be with the value of fifty thousand yen, and regarding the compulsory service without a wage then he will be exempted from it but with that he will return to the work with his wage..... We implemented this punishment yesterday upon one of the individuals who was missing and he is from the clan of the Yakinimaji because we do not know if he escaped or was kidnapped indeed as he was disappearing for a duration of two years, therefore do not you both expect that we will leniency in the implementation of the punishments.
