Nico: And with that, the beef stew is done. Now we just wait for everyone to get here.

 

Oh, someone's already here. Come in.

 

Jude: Nico, we're coming in.

 

Teo: ......

 

Nico: Jude and Teo?

 

Teo: ... Big bro.

 

Nico: Now that's an odd combination.

 

Jude: We ran into each other in the warehouse area.

 

Teo: No, 'ran into' doesn't cover it. My life was in danger and he saved me.

 

Nico: Really?

 

Jude: Yeah. I happened to be passing by, heard some noise, thought it sounded like a good time, jumped in and found this guy.

 

Nico: Teo, did you get into trouble again?

 

Teo: Not this time.
Well… I can't completely say it's not my fault, but explaining that now won't help.
 

Nico: ...?

 

Teo: Anyway, things got messy...

Dad was betrayed and shot by the Mozzarella Family, the ones we had an alliance with. He's probably dead.

 

Nico: Hmm.

 

Teo: ... What? Not surprised?

 

Nico: That's the kind of world he was in.

 

Jude: Oh? So you can just get shot out of nowhere? Mafia sounds pretty interesting.
 

Teo: ......

 

Nico: So why were you betrayed? Dad hated betrayal more than anything.

 

Teo: Well, uuuuuh...

 

Nico: Got it. So you're involved.

 

Teo: Pretty much.
After I got home, Dad put me on house arrest because of the whole Eclipse incident and the arena thing...
That became a problem, and the families we were friendly with used it as a convenient excuse to betray us.

 

Nico: So they're claiming the Giorno family broke the rules first.

 

Teo: Pretty much.

Then while I was out with Dad, we got ambushed, and I just barely got away alive.

 

Nico: What about the rest of the family?

 

Teo: They're probably at the hideout planning retaliation or something.

 

Jude: How big is this conflict going to be?

 

Nico: Pretty big, I think? Both the Giorno and the Mozzarella families are among the five major families of New Million.

 

Jude: Hah, sounds exciting. I'd love to be included.

 

Teo: ... Big bro, is this guy always like this?

Nico: He is. Just ignore him.

Alright, I get the situation.Going back now will only drag you into the conflict.

I'll protect you for a while. Stay here until things cool down.

 

Teo: ... I'm fine with that, but what about you, big bro?

 

Nico: What about me?

 

Teo: Dad's been shot. That means the next boss is either you or me. They'll definitely come after you too.

 

Nico: I already left the family. The Mozzarella guys know that.

 

Teo: ... But if you're hiding me, I don't think they'll see it that way? From their perspective, taking you out would make things easier.

 

Nico: Even if they come after me, I'll just deal with them like always.

I won't get involved in the family business.

 

Teo: ... Okay. If you say so, I won't complain.

 

Jude: What, you're not getting involved...?

 

Nico: Why are you disappointed, Jude?

 

Jude: I thought if we ended up in a mafia war, it might spice things up a bit.

 

Nico: That's not happening.

 

Sage: Nico, have you finished preparing the food for the dinner party?

Teo: ......

Sage: Oh, Teo-kun? You're visiting again?

 

Teo: ... Something like that.

 

Nico: Sage, the food's ready. You can go call Licht.

 

Sage: Okay!

 

Nico: Jude, when's Bianchi coming?

 

Jude: I think they've arrived. I need to get things ready to welcome them.

Teo: ... What's happening?

 

Nico: Today's the day everyone gets together.
We'll talk later. Eat with us too.

 

Teo: Me too?
