Event Story – Chocolate Mint Feud! ch.5

[kozvme]

Advisor: Master Teo and… Master Nico?

 

Teo: Ah~ I'm just kind of tagging along, so don't mind me.

 

Advisor: A boy under house arrest and a traitor who abandoned his family... what business do you have here?

 

Nico: We're here to stop the retaliation.

 

Executive: Hah! That's a funny joke. This is a family matter. You left, you have no authority in this!

 

Nico: If you retaliate, it'll turn into a full‑scale conflict. Civilians will get dragged in.

As a hero, I can't ignore that.

 

Executive: What...!?

Advisor: You may be a hero, but we are mafia. Honor is everything to us.

Regardless of the situation, our boss was shot. We can't just sit quietly.

 

Nico: Still the same, obsessed with rules and keeping up appearances.

 

Advisor: That's why you left, isn't it? 

Nico: ... Something like that.

 

Executive: Come to think of it, you left the family without permission too, didn't you? And now you come crawling back... don't complain about what happens next.

 

Hey! Give these guys a taste of our bullets!

Mafiosi: Yes, sir!

 

Teo: Ah~ I'll just sit this one out.

 

Nico: Jude, go ahead.

 

Jude: It's finally my turn, huh.

 

Mafioso A: Another hero?

 

Mafioso B: Hmph, I'll turn you into a beehive!

 

Jude: Haaaah—!

 

Mafioso A: Guh...!

 

Nico: Huff!

 

Mafioso B: Gah—!

Jude: Oh come on, is that all? Entertain me a little more!

 

Executive: Wh‑ What's with this guy!?

 

Jude: Hey, you, the pompous guy. Arm every grunt you've got and send them into this room. Then maybe I'll have some real fun.

 

Executive: ...!

 

Nico: What's your move? If you want more injuries, go ahead.

 

Executive: Tch...

 

Advisor: ... Very well. We'll take young master Nico's opinion into consideration.

 

Executive: Oi!

 

Advisor: But if you're going to interfere with family decisions, you'll need an appropriate position to speak from.

 

Nico: Position?

 

Advisor: I mean you can no longer remain a civilian.

Nico: That was never my intention to begin with.

Advisor: Remember what you just said...
So, I have a suggestion about the family's future.

With the boss gone, young master Teo was the most likely successor, but he's under house arrest and, frankly, he's partly responsible for this situation.

 

Teo: I won't deny that.
 

Advisor: Therefore, I nominate Nico Giorno as the new boss of the Giorno Family.

 

Executive: WH‑ WHAT!?

 

Nico: ... Me?

 

Teo: Why not? Go for it, big bro.

 

Nico: No, I doubt the rest will agree? I've beaten up half the grunts here.

 

Advisor: The only one who can lead this family now is someone with the boss bloodline and the strength to defeat the Mozzarella Family.

And that person can only be you, young master Nico.

 

Nico: ... If Dad were alive, he'd never allow this.

 

Advisor: The boss has passed away.

 

Nico: ... Right.

Teo: ... Big bro, what are you going to do? With no boss, even if you say 'don't retaliate,' no one will listen.
 

Nico: ... Fine.

 

Teo: Eh? So that means—

 

Nico: From now on, you'll obey my orders without question.

 

Teo: Big bro ♪

 

Nico: First, Jude will be my right‑hand man. And I'm lifting Teo's house arrest and appointing him as my advisor.

 

Teo: Advisor, huh. Reasonable choice.

 

Jude: Oi, I'm not planning on being anyone's right‑hand man except Bianchi's.

 

Nico: ... Then what?

 

Jude: Find me a position that brings some thrill.

 

Nico: You can be a fall guy.

 

Jude: What does that mean?

 

Nico: ... Once you go, you're gone for good.

Jude: Heh? That sounds pretty interesting. I like it.

 

Teo: (Ahh, whatever... It basically means he's just a disposable hitman...)
