Chapter 319. Edie (Part 2)

Err, Ill summarize what this girl is saying okay!

Nei-san tells us.

Or ratherMichi can understand English so only me and Yukino needs an actual explanation

This girls name is Edie Sexton She was born in an underground society from near New Orleans

Miss Edie smiles at us.

Milky blond hair and brown skinbeautiful big blue eyes.

The glove

Miss Edies plump lips whispers.

It seems thats the name of the organization.

Glove meansin Japanese. They got the name from leaving no fingerprints when they kill a person. How should I say itThe gloveis an organization thats like an assassination cult

Whats an assassination cult?

I asked.

Theyre originally a dangerous religious association who assassinates those who are hostile to their religion. From there, various assassination methods were born, and the organization supplies assassins on the underground society

Michi answered.

Americas got surprising amount of religious groups that has chaotic doctrinesgenerally, they exist on secret societies Furthermore, those kind of absurd organizations have been going on for hundreds of years

Nei-san said

Anyway, Edie says thatThe gloveis anAssassin Guild Its not precisely an assassination cult, it may be an assassin union butI dont know the details about it. Maru-chan may know a lot about it butanyway, theres a community that trains assassins in the outskirts of New Orleans, and she was born there it seems

This cute girl was raised as an assassin?1

From her storyThe Gloveoriginally was a group of of slaves from the south America rebelled against the domination of the white people2, forming an assassination group. Their roots are from the Africas traditional martial arts but it seems that theyve mixed with various martial arts after being brought to US. It seems that they were a devout Christians and thought that theyre the religious knights in the US

Michi explains miss Edies story.

But, thats the story of the organizations foundationafterwards, they seem to have contracted assassinations from both the American public authority and the underground society of US. Since its a special secret society, theres no thought of greatly expanding the organization, it seems that theyre only thinking of the organizations existence that they responded to requests of unprincipled murders

Nei-san said.

Besides, the creed of the organization changes through age. Especially it seems that due to the influence of the post war counter culture, it seems that they adapted Orient-thoughts. That matter feels like America butthey change the organization, embracing the trend of each era

As for the technique using theQi, it would seem that it originally a traditional martial arts in Africa but, its completely forgottenher grandmother had succeeded in studying and recreating oriental martial arts

Miss Edie nods.

She somehow understood what were talking about it seems.

Edies grandmother was one of the leaders of The glovebut she died at the beginning of this year. Then, the current boss ofThe glovehates Edieso she was sold to Cesario Violas organization

Sold?

Yeahshe was bought with money. But, Edie herself doesnt care at all

Edie talks to Nei-san and Michi happily in English

Edies grandmother sticks to the old fashioned thought of going to the enemy and killing them through hand-on-hand combat assassination techniques. However, the current boss of the organization thinks that approaching with a car and a machine gun is fasterin order to deny the traditional assassination technique, he drive out Edie who took over her grandmothers skills directly

Before her grandmother died, she was ordered toGo and train on the outside world ThereforeEven if the boss of the organization sold me and received money, that doesnt matter to me. In the first place, he has no right to sell me. I am freeshe says

I seeMiss Cordelia bought Edie using money so she treats her like a slave.

But, mis Edie just follows the intendedtrainingand she thinks that shes free

Butan organization born in defiance of slavery selling a girl on the modern age

The people who founded the organization would be crying under their graves.

It seems that its only last month she was taken under miss Cordelia. but, she seems to be dissatisfied with Edie all the time

Dissatisfied?

She acknowledges miss Cordelias physical ability but shes not training at allshe said. Or rather, theres nobody in the organization of Cesario Viola having qualities for her to train with

Miss Edie happily tells Michi something

What?

Michi hesitates to speak

Whats the matter?

I asked, Nei-san

She looked at Mi-chan and thoughtIm sure I can have a good training with her Therefore she abandoned miss Cordelia and came to us. Thats all

Does that mean?

How old are you ?

Miss Edie asks Michi

Fifteen

Really?

Shes surprised that Michis 15 years old.

Im 16 years old. Why is someone younger than me can use the same technique as my grandmothers?She asks

Im the successor of Kudou style ancient martial arts

Michi and miss Edie gets excited talking about Kudou style ancient martial arts

In the endthis girls seeking assassination techniques

Nei-san says while looking at miss Edie.

She seems to be interested in only raising her assassination techniques

Hmm

If its sports or martial arts then thts fine, but

Assassination techniques is just

NO, thats not itits like this

Michi stands up and shows her martial art form to miss Edie

OH! Excellent!3

Edie watches as if she got hooked,

What Arent these girls similar?

Yukino said

In the end, that girl just wanted a friend, doesnt she?

Friend

For miss Edie whos only interested in improving her assassination techniques, Michis probably the first person she studies thats on the same age.

Thats the same for Michi.

Michi is also too special that she doesnt have friends.

Misuzu and I are her masters

Mana and Ruriko of the same age are making walls.

I think that even Michi needs a close friend.

Michido you think you can be friends with miss Edie?

I asked.

Master?

Im asking whether you two can practice together and improve each other

Michi looks at my face sternly

If thats an order then I will do so!

Thats not it. Im asking if its fun to practice with miss Edie

Fun?

Michi shows a puzzled expression

The training of Kudou style ancient martial arts is tough. I never felt it like being fun!

Michi still seeks her way.

Yo-chan doesnt mean it like that. Try to have a bout with Edie for a bit. The room is small so be careful

Nei-san tells Michi

She tells miss Edie something in English too

Off Course!4

Miss Edie smiles.

She stand up and face Michi.

Here I come

Michi bows then takes a stance.

Miss Edie too.

Edie is the taller one

Haa, ha, ha, haa!

Michi rushes with her fist.

Hashu, shu, shushushu!

Miss Edie skillfully handles Michis fists.

Next, is the change of offence and defence.

Miss Edie attacks and Michi defends.

Yeahthe way they throw their fists are completely different.

Is this the difference between schools?

Im raising the gear!

As son as she switched to offence, Michis movement changed.

Kudou styles peculiarmovement to bend the enemyQi!

woow

Though miss Edies expression turned ruggedshe matched with Michis movement.

Another change of stance.

This time, miss Edie attacks Michi with an irregular rhythm.

I think this is the traditional assassinations done bythe glove Its a technique that always attacks from the opponents blind spot!

Nei-san said

Nei-san had been watching Kyouko-san and Margo-sans training all the time.

Shes got some deep knowledge in martial arts.

Iyahaa!

At that momentMichis voice roars.

Going through the opponents skill

Michis fist stops immediately before miss Edies face.

It seems that Mi-chan is ahead in the power of reading theQinow

Nei-sans words, Michi

Noshes more physically trained. I cant beat her with a blow

Even if she pierces the gap in theQishe wont be able to take down miss Edie in one shot

In shortat present, its 50-50.

Great!

Miss Edie hugs Michi in delight.

She said something in English, fast

Edie is very happy. Shes sayingI mightve been born to meet you!!

Nei-san translates.

Our techniques are completely different. Therefore, if we train and absorb each others skillswe can both become stronger I think

Michi says while wiping her sweat with a handkerchief.

Its not I thinkMichi wants to do it, right?

I ask Michi of her will

If Master allows me thenby all means

Michi seems to have liked miss Edie.

Miss Edies expression shows enough.

Then invite miss Edie To our house

House?

Michis house is mine. Isnt that right?!

Michi

She happily answered.

Yes. I wont leave your side!

Thenhave miss Edie come to our house as Michis practice companion. Miss Edie can stay if she wantstell her that

Yeah. Im the one going to ask Sensei. I think that Maru-chan and Katsun would welcome her!

Nei-san said.

Michi talks to miss Edie in English

She saidId be happy to stay

Michi and miss Edie shakes hands.

They talk about something more.

Ediedidnt suit with miss Cordelia at all. Miss Cordeliais a lesbian

What?

Therefore, miss Cordelias subordinates are all women. Miss Cordelia bought Edie whos been sold by her organizationshe liked this girl it seems

Nei-san translates miss Edies talk.

She talks more.

Miss Cordelia seems to have made her candidate for the next generation of Viola

The next generationViola

At first it was only going to be a spare Rosalind butsince the combat capability, shouldnt we make her the new Viola? Thats what miss Cordelia advised the organizations boss

As expectedtheres many Cesario Viola and an organization manages it

Using the same nameCesario Violamultiple people commits a number of crimes.

Its that kind of organization.

Thats how it is. It seems that miss Cordelia was going to slowly raise her over time. While at it, it seems that shes intending to turn her to a lesbian partner. Thats why she brought Edie to her business trip in Japan. Shes just a visitor!

Yeahwith this

I now understand why miss Edie didnt participate when miss Cordelia attacked us.

Currently, miss Edie and miss Cordelia and her people arent cooperating in the battle.

Or rathershe doesnt feel like entering under miss Cordelias command from the beginning

Even if they take time training her, its impossible to work together.

Well, shes a girl who grew up in an assassination organizationif you make ordinary orders likecare-takingorman the answer machine, she should obey as she was bought

Therefore, miss Cordelia misunderstood her as a submissive girl.

Butmiss Edie thought that shes free.

As for the most important battleshe doesnt feel like following miss Cordelia at all.

So, she left miss Cordelia, and came to us to become friends with Michi

Haa

This girls a troublesome one.

Theres no doubt that shes an outstanding talent.

Above all, she doesnt like miss Cordelia calling himED

Michi said.

Right. Why did miss Cordelia call herED?

Michi blushed from what miss Edie said

Err, that

Miss Cordelia seems to be ridiculing Edies name being the same as ED Thats why shes calling herED

Nei-san explains instead of the mumbling Michi

ED? Why is she being made fun with that?

Well you seeED means

Looking at the embarrassed Michimiss Edie says;

Erectile Dysfunction

Erekutorikku paredo?

Miss Edie bursts out laughing from my reply.

Thats not it, Yo-chanErectile Dysfunctionis Impotenz

EhWhatsimportant?

Important?

I know that much English at least. Its important, isnt it?

Wrong, Yo-chanitsImpotenz!

Import?

Even more wrong! Impotenzyou see is inpo, inpo! It means that your penis wont get erect!

Eh, important has that meaning?

Thats not it, notimportantwere talking aboutImpotenz!

I dont know whats what anymore.

What are you talking about?miss Edie looks at us with that faceMichi explains embarrassed in English

Miss Edie laughs out loud.

Youre an idiot beyond saving

Yukino looks at me with an amazed expression.

Ive got no objection to that butI dont want to be told by that by Yukino.

Miss Edie shows interest in Yo-chan

What?

She was talking about what you did with Yukino-san earlier

Err

What I did with Yukinowasnt that only sex?

Waitno way?

Nei-san asks further.

Hmm. It seems that this girl doesnt know anything about sex

Miss Edie is smiling as usual.

The organizationThe glove, where she stayed with, seems to have many religious precepts. The male and female living quarters are completely separated. Theyre not allowed to talk to men on their own until theyre marriedyou can only marry someone thats been instructed by the organization. They seem to be fundamentalist

Speaking of which, this girl hasnt talked to me directly until now.

Well, the bigger reason is me unable to understand English

Is she still bound by that precept?

Nei-san asks my question in English

You seeEdie is no longer bound by those precepts. When shes sold byThe glove, it seems shes treated as ahereticfrom the organization. Therefore, she cant come back to New Orleans again. Instead, she doesnt need to follow their precepts, but

Miss Edie says something further.

Sorryits not that shes not abiding the preceptsshe cant. It seems that in the organization, the religious superior oversees the subordinates on everything in their daily life. It seems that they have to always the words of the superiors, thats the basis of the precepts

I seetheyre ordered until they marry.

If you go outside the organization, you have to decide everything yourself. To decide anything by will is against the precepts butshe has to live alone with no superiors around

I seeI understood why its supposed to beheresyto leave the organization at that stage.

In Edies caseit seems that her grandmother was her supervisor since then. Then, it seems that the grandmother who died has a higher position religiously than the current boss., SoEdie doesnt have the duty to obey the boss order

Hating the existence that remains in the organization

The boss sold off miss Edie.

Then, she was taken over by the lesbian, Miss Cordelia

Theres no way she can learn about sexual love between men and women.

For her, the bond with her grandmother is more important than belonging to the organization. The last instruction of her grandmother, hersupervisorwas togo outside of the organization

Therefore, miss Edie seeks the way of assassination, but

Yeah, I feel I understand this child.

No she said that shes 16 years old so shes the same age as me and Yukino

Its rude to saythis child

What do you think, Yo-chado you believe Edie?

Nei-san asks me again

Eh, isnt that obvious? Miss Edie has a really open personality

Yeahshes the opposite of Michi

Shes always smiling and filled with emotions.

All of the emotions appear on her face.

What does Mi-chan think?

Shes not lyingshes trustworthy No. I trust her

Michi said

For Michi, she might be the first friend.

What does Yukino think?

What, me?

Yukinos surprised when Nei-san asked for her opinion.

Yeah, I want to ask Yukino-sans opinion

Nei-san said clearly

Yukino

This girl doesnt do tricks. Its the so-called muscle-brain. She doesnt think that deeply

Nei-san looks at miss Edie once again

If the three sensors evaluate assafethen its okay to trust her

I see, Nei-san is still

Thinking of the possibility that miss Cordelia sent her as a spy.

I cant think of any connection of this girl with Tanizawa-sanif shes sent as a spy then her setting is too special. Besides, she didnt have any evil intend when she was having a bout with Mi-chan

She was checking miss Edies true intend by making her have a bout with Michi.

Yeahin that case, its okay to contact Maru-chan now

Nei-san seems to have waited until we can determine if miss Edie is on our side.

But

The communication device is bugged by miss Cordelia

Miss Cordelia has the same device as ours.

I know. But, theres no other choice. Maru-chan thinks that were captured and heads to the theater earlier

Right.

They would be ambushed by miss Cordelia if this continues.

The communication machine passes through the repeaters of the wall doesnt it? Therefore, if we communicate in this roomI think that theHeadquarterswhere Tanizawa-san is will find where we are. But, I think that Tanizawa-san wont tell miss Cordelia

Thinking about the subtle relationship of miss Cordelia and Chief Tanizawa

It seems that Nei-san intends to gamble on this.

Eh, eh, eh, uhmthats!?

Michi whos been talking to miss Edie suddenly makes a loud voice.

Whats wrongMichi?

U-UhmMaster

Michi looks at me with a confused face.

I was talking about I have awakenedShingetsuthanks to Master embracing me!

Why did you talk about that now/>

Thats because I also want Edie-san to know Masters wonderfulness

NoMichi

Im not a wonderful person at all

Thenshe

Miss Edie shows an innocent smile as usual

She says she want to do it too

Want to do it too?

Sex with me?!

1. Nothing is true, everything is permitted

2. Fuck, is this Assassins Creed 3?

3. Im using when Edie talks English, since nobody would know if shes trying to speak Jap or Eng when I dont make any indications

4. Yes, thats how the author wrote it
