Event Story – Chocolate Mint Feud! ch.7

[kozvme]

ーThe day before Valentine's Day.

 

Sage: Wow, you've got almost everything ready!

 

Bianchi: Right? I threw it together pretty fast, but it turned out pretty cute.
 

Sage: Yeah, the mint green looks really nice.

 

Jude: You said the costumes are in this color too, right?

 

Bianchi: Yes, I've got four costumes lined up, so look forward to tomorrow.

 

Jude: Ahh, I can't wait to put on Bianchi's costume.

 

Sage: Nico, let's do our best tomorrow~

 

Nico: .......

 

Sage: Nico?

 

Nico: Ah, sorry. I spaced out.

 

Sage: Are you okay? You seem tired lately.

 

Nico: ... Really? I feel the same as always.

 

Sage: No, I'm pretty sure you're tired. You barely ate any omelets yesterday...

If something is bothering you, don't hold back.

 

Nico: ... I know.

 

Jude: ? Nico, you haven't told Sage about that thing?

 

Nico: ... Something like that.

 

Sage: 'That thing'? Jude-kun...?

 

Jude: If you don't know, ask him directly. I don't know if I'm allowed to talk about it.

Nico: ... It's fine. I figured I should tell him anyway.

 

Sage: Um...

 

Nico: My old man was shot and killed. And after a bunch of stuff happened, I ended up leading the Giorno family.

 

Sage: What!?

 

Jude: And I've been appointed as a fall guy.

 

Bianchi: ... Do you even understand what that means?

 

Jude: No, not really. What does a fall guy do, Bianchi?

 

Bianchi: ... You're better off not knowing. Though it might be the kind of job you'd like.

 

Sage: Nico, could you tell me a bit more about it? Only what you can share, of course...
 

Nico: The thing is—

 

Sage: I see... so that's what happened...

 

Nico: Sorry for keeping quiet. I didn't want you worrying about weird things.

Sage: No, it's okay... I don't really understand the underworld anyway.

 

Bianchi: But if the mafia goes into an all-out war, we won't be able to stay uninvolved.

 

Sage: Yeah, civilians could get dragged into it.

 

Nico: I'll make sure that never happens.

 

Sage: ... Hey, is there anything I can do? I'll help with anything.

Nico: ... I want you to wait, Sage.

 

Sage: Just wait?

 

Nico: Yeah. With Licht...

Oh, and I want to eat your apple pie.

 

Sage: Hehe, apple pie, huh? Okay. I'll bake plenty and have them ready for you.

 

Nico: Thanks.
