Gyff & Tsumomo #6

- We need you to help us, Katsuyo. - Tsumomo said. - You know that we can help you.
- I... I am sorry. I can not help you. You know that I need to keep silent about our clients and suppliers. - Said Katsuyo.
- It seems you prefer the hard way, right? - Konvaa said and started leaving the room.

"There he goes making a mess." - The geisha tought.

Konvaa went to the other room and simply dismissed the dwarf and the gnome from the estabilishment. He was tall, and his clothes, imponent, and even being defied, he did no had problems in using magic and putting that two out. He asked the lady in pink to leave the room. She did, even tough she did not wanted, and met Tsumomo outside.

- Is he always like that? - Shia asked.
- He usually plays the bad guy, but he is a nice detective.
- And what are you going to do now?
- What a good geisha does.
- Dance?
- That is right!

While Konvaa had troubles with Miss Katsuyo and Helena, Tsumomo left and went to look the Academy of Someisa. It was dark, and some other geishas walked going to a tea house or another. Tsumomo woudl usually stop and talk, but this time she did simple compliments saying she needed to hurry, even tough she was warding off the Hoot district, where the nightlife of the city happens, and going to the central square.


Meanwhile, at a rooftop, two people were talking.

- Drop your Sparklyns and Shineyns on the floor. They will not save you, Black Cat. - Said Someisa.
- You really told people that was my name!? - Gyff asked, annoyed.
- I got you in my clutches and this is what you have to tell me?
- No. Your nails seems well cut. They do not look like claws.
- Insolent! Give me back what you got from my library!
- Seriously that a page has more importance than the jewels they daily steal from your academy?
- Who cares about jewels?
- Was that page a love letter?
- Such insolence! - Someisa mae energy rings which constricted the body of Gyff.
- Aaaaargh! You are using violence now?
- Are you telling me where my stuff are? Or will I have to extract that information straight out from your head? - Someisa said that point the staff to his head.
- Try your luck. - Gyff lowered his head a bit and giggled. - Insolent.

He headbutted the blocking field Someisa made, and threw himself back from the alley he came, even with the enery rings wrapping his body. He shaked his legs and lots of Shineym stones let go and turned into wall stones, blocking the pale moonlight. Other exploded from the pockets in his black jacket, torning it apart and removing the constriction rings. Gyff dove over the people in the darkness, where he would clearly obtain advantage.

Gyff & Tsumomo #5

The caravan entered Amaquabá. Gyff took his flask, his dagger, and got down with the elves who started to carry products. He had a job to finish and he still had to deal with the owner of the stables due to losing a horse. At least it was not a very expensive horse. Honestly, it was a little slow. This did not had much importance, since a group of people was getting close to the gates of the city.

"Phew. It is good to know they are late." - He thought while the group was getting closer. Then he turned around in a little street between the warehouses next to the entrance of the city. It was not hard for the other people to see that he turned there. It did not took 15 seconds for them to have view of the alley, but he was not there anymore. They looked towards the sky and nothing. There was no clue that the young guy was there in that short spam of time. Part of the group moved forward, the others stopped to ask people of the caravan, whom confirmed his presence according to the description they gave.

At the rooftops, a man and a woman met. The man was surrounded by a cage of light. The woman was young, wearing a muffler, a tight shirt, tight pants, and boots. Her hair was long, it was purple, and she also had wide eyes. She carried a scepter in the right hand and she was point torwards Gyff. She was similing with triumph.

- So? You are not going to do anything? You are not trying to escape? - Said the woman.
- Why would I do such thing, Someisa? Who would be fool enough to defy your power?


While the two men argued, the geisha left the room. There was nobody on the hallways, neither the auxiliar of the owner. The transversal corridor by the entrance extended itself to the east of the room she was, and there were two more rooms by the same side, and other two at the opposite side. She went to the next room where Konvaa, mrs. Katsuyo, and her auxiliar Helena were. They all remained in silence by her presence. She slowly closed the door and kneeled graciously at the right of the detective who was standing. He immediately kneeled as the noble would do, while the other two sat at the opposite side of the entrance facing them both.

- So, Katsuyo. Why is this sir bothering you? - Tsumomo asked.
- Oh, Tsumomo, like I am giving him anything that he asks me. - Katsuyo said, while still tidying herself in her simple red kimono.
- You have a log of the people who enter here, and I need it. - Konvaa spoke incisively.
- Calm down! - Said Tsumomo, putting a hand in front of her mouth to block the sound, and another over his knee. - Now, Katsuyo, did you recently realized any event here?
- Yes. - She answered, correcting her long black hair. - Two filled events.
- Three. - Corrected Helena, who was using a orange colored Kimono. - Three. In two of them the organizer did not appeared. - Katsuyo looked her with reprovation and she silenced.
- I need to know who was there. - The investigator entered in action. - I need names, descriptions, and every information possible.
- Oh, Konvaa, do not demand too much from them. They are helping us as they can. - The geisha said.
- Is he always like that, Tsumomo? - Katsuyo asked.
- These days have been stressful, could you get a little bit of Frax for us, Helena, please? - Tsumomo asked, and Helena bowed and left imediately to pick up what was asked. - I noticed the reformings they did at Yue Liang, and I think that you are going to do some reformings here too, right?
- Yes, we got some extra money beyond the bills due to these parties. - Answered Katsuyo.
- But do you know why the organizer did not showed up in half of them? - Konvaa asked and Katsuyo made a surprised face. - We know that you are covering up for him due to the money.

Tsumomo thoughtfully looked to Konvaa. "So he knew about that already? Interesting..."

Pause and Questioning

Okz. For all readers of the Gyff & Tsumomo tales, I am taking a brief pause from the translations.
Why is that?

First of all, it is a little bit boring to pick up something that you already wrote and switch to another language without losing meaning. I try my best to do this translation but it is a really hard work. It is not like "Google Translating" everything.

So I will take this pause until I write more chapters in portuguese, pretty much like television shows that sometimes stops being translated from the other countries.

Meanwhile, I would like some response from the readers, specialy because I am the writer and the translator of my own tale. So I want to know if you guys are enjoying the tale, if I am writing too much, or if I am not writing enough in each post. I want to know what you guys think about the story and if you would like to suggest any point to be more explored, please tell me, but I will need some time to start taking that path.

And if you want me to get back on the tracks of posting a chapter/week, please tell me. Your words do give me strength to keep on with the job.

Thank you!
