Event Story – Chocolate Mint Feud! ch.8

[kozvme]

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

 

Nico: Thanks.

Bianchi: ... Jude, I have a favor to ask.

Jude: Just say the word, Bianchi. If it's your wish, I'll grant not just three, but however many you desire, no matter what it is.

However, I won't agree to any request that involves leaving your side.

 

Bianchi: ... I know.

This situation is right up your alley, isn't it? Take good care of our sweet Nico.
 

Jude: What about the Chocolate Mint Fair, though? Will that be alright?

 

Bianchi: We'll handle that ourselves. So you focus on doing everything you can on your end.
I'm counting on you, Jude.

Jude: That's quite a powerful request.

Leave it to me, Bianchi! I'll stop this mafia conflict even if I have to take down every last one of them!

 

Bianchi: Don't go overboard.

 

Nico: ? It's Teo.

Yes?

Teo: 「Aah~ Are you done with your talk, big bro? I have an urgent matter to discuss.」
 

Nico: ... You're watching us on the security cameras, aren't you?

 

Teo: 「No, I just checked your location 'cause it was urgent.」

 

Nico: What is it? Did you find the hideout?

Teo: 「Almost! I'm using the info I got from your apprentice and checking surveillance cameras and stuff to track them down.
And then I spotted someone who looks like a Mozzarella Family member. I listened in on their conversation and heard something crazy...」

 

Nico: What?

 

Teo: 「They say tomorrow they're launching a full assault on the Giorno Family, turning it into a Bloody Valentine...」

 

 

—Valentine's Day.

 

Executive: Bloody Valentine, you say? Guess we've got ourselves a full‑scale war!

 

Jude: Right, the only way forward is a full-scale war.

Teo: I found out the exact location of their hideout. We can storm it anytime. What's the plan?

 

Advisor: Why wait? We should strike first. We can catch them off guard.

 

Jude: Yeah, attacking is best. Waiting is boring anyway.

Executive: I've let our guys know to gear up. We can move whenever.

 

Jude: Then, make sure to tell them to go all out. Anyone who holds back won't be forgiven.

 

Executive: ... You sure know your stuff.

 

Advisor: As expected of the boss' right‑hand man... Excuse me, I mean, fall guy. You seem well‑versed in mafia tactics.

 

Jude: I don't know anything about mafia tactics. I'm just coming up with ways I can enjoy myself.

 

Teo: ... How is someone like this a hero?

 

Nico: Everyone, shut up.

 

Executive & Advisor: ... !

Jude: Oi, Nico, you can't just tell us to shut up in the middle of a strategy meeting.

 

Nico: I'll decide what we do. So be quiet… Especially you, Jude.

 

Jude: Me?

 

Teo: Duh? You're the craziest of them all.
 

Jude: I see. I thought I was helping, like Bianchi asked...

Well, whatever. Just tell me what you want to do, then.

 

Nico: Jude and I will settle things with the Mozzarella family. The rest of you do nothing.

 

Executive: Boss, they're coming to attack us. What do you mean, 'do nothing'?

 

Advisor: No one's going to sit still and get shot.

 

Nico: I'll talk to them before it comes to that. Jude, you're coming with me.

 

Jude: Just the two of us? Haha, that's way more fun.

 

Nico: I'd rather avoid whatever you consider fun...

 

We're heading out. Teo, take care of the rest.

 

Teo: Okaaay~ Good luck, big bro~

 

Executive: O- Oi. The boss really went to their hideout with just that Jude guy?

 

Advisor: Even if it's the boss' decision, I doubt the two of them will make a difference...

 

Teo: Oi, this is big bro's decision. Going against it is betrayal, got it?


 

???: ーOh? Betrayal, huh.

 

Teo: ...?

 

???: Mind repeating what you mean by betrayal?

Teo: Really... are you kidding me...
