Event Story – House of Mystery: They Know All! ch.18

[kozvme]

Ren: Wait, that doesn't add up. If Nico was in the waiting room, there's no way he could show up in front of us that quickly...…

Gray: But it might be doable...

 

Ren: Huh...?

 

Gray: ーIf he can teleport, that is...

 

Akira: No way, Nico too...

Ren: Wait, he's working here as a housekeeper. That wouldn't be strange...

 

Nico: What does that mean...?

 

Gray: This...

Nico: Fog...?

Akira: Hah!

Ren: Huff!

Nico: Flames and ice...

Gray: The housekeepers hired here have those kinds of abilities...
So, you must have it too... the ability to move through space...

Nico: Kuku... Ahahah...



Nico: You did a great job figuring that out. I commend you.

Gray: Then...

Nico: You were right. I can use warps.

After finishing my job using a warp, I ate some fruits in the waiting room and came to you guys.
I get pretty hungry when I do that...

 

Akira: Why did you kill the master!? Well, I guess there are plenty of reasons to resent him, but still...!

 

Nico: But I don't resent him. I told you, it's just business.

 

Ren: Business...?

 

Nico: I'm an assassin. The boss of the Pepperoni Family hired me to look into this mansion's master and to make sure he stays quiet.

Gray: To look into and make sure he stays quiet...?

Nico: To cover up a mafia scandal.

That's why I got close to the master. I knew if I showed him my ability, I'd get hired as a housekeeper right away, so I kept erasing information that shouldn't see the light of day while working.

I was supposed to take care of the master and finish my mission, but...
It seems like I've got another job on my hands.

Gray: Another...?

Nico: Yes. The job involves silencing every single person here.



Akira: Kh, get ready! Protect the butler and the rest!!

Ren: You guys stay back!

The master's son: E- Eeek...!?

Nico: No one is getting away. I'll finish you all off.

Gray: I won't let you...!

Nico: Tch...

Ren: Over there!

Akira: No way I'm letting you go!!

Nico: Kh...

Gray: I won't allow any more victims.

Nico: 3 vs 1 is pretty rough. I'll let it slide just for today.

Gray: That's our line.
We're going to catch you, that’s a promise...

Nico: Hmph...

Gray: Haah...

Akira: Heck yeah! It's overrrr~~!!

Ren: We've reached the end, but can we really be sure everything's fine...?

Gray: Since the buzzer didn't go off halfway, I guess—




Ah...
