Event Story – Chocolate Mint Feud! ch.9

[kozvme]

 

Jude: This place looks abandoned, is their hideout really here?

 

Nico: Seems so. A place like this would be hard to find even online.
 

Enemy mafioso A: ? Who's there?

 

Jude: Heh, looks like they've shown up. What now?

 

Nico: Even if they come at us, keep the fighting to a minimum. Let's head straight for the boss office.

 

Jude: Leave it to me.

 

Enemy mafioso A: ...! Intruders! Shoot! Shoot them!!

Mozzarella boss: Damn it, intruders now of all times!?

I made sure to hide the base so thoroughly that even Teo Giorno wouldn't be able to find it.

They must've had one hell of an informant...

 

Jude: Is this the boss' office?

 

Mozzarella boss: The hell... A hero!?

 

Jude: Haha, that was a decent number of bullets. The equipment isn't up to military standards, but I still had a blast.

What's this? I thought this was a mafia boss' office, but all I see are lackeys.

 

Mozzarella boss: What did you just say...!? I'm the boss!

 

Jude: That so? You looked so weak I mistook you for a grunt.

 

Mozzarella boss: Wh- What was that...!?

 

Jude: Whatever. I came here because I need something from you.

 

Mozzarella boss: Need something...?

 

Jude: Yeah. But ask the details to the guy behind you.

 

Nico: You're the Mozzarella boss?

 

Mozzarella boss: Nico Giorno!? Why are you here!?

 

Nico: I'm just here to stop the conflict.

Mozzarella boss: That's not what I meant!

 

Nico: ...?

 

Mozzarella boss: Why aren't you at the Chocolate Mint Fair!?

 

Nico: ... What do you mean?

 

Sage: Alright, setup and stocking are all set. I'm glad we made it in time for the opening!

 

Bianchi: Good work, darling.

Fufu, the costume also looks great on you. If I may say so myself, it turned out perfectly ♪

 

Sage: I think so too. Thanks, Bianchi-san ♪

I wish Nico and Jude-kun could've worn theirs with us...

 

Bianchi: No need to worry. They said they'd come later, remember?

 

Sage: Yes, you're right. And Jude-kun would never break a promise to you.

 

Bianchi: ... Well, I suppose that's true. Though sometimes I find Jude's take on our promises to be a bit excessive.

Haah, even if he's dealing with the mafia, I hope he's not going overboard...

 

Sage: Hehe, it's Jude-kun we're talking about, after all.

Okay, we need to focus on the shop! Customers should be arriving soon, right?

 

Bianchi: ... Speaking of, dear, don't you think the customers look strange?

 

Sage: ... Strange?

Hmm, they do seem kind of frenzied, but maybe they're just people who really want chocolate mint?

 

Bianchi: You mean those scary-looking guys with wrinkles on their foreheads?

 

Sage: Uh… then maybe they're just super against chocolate mint?

 

Bianchi: That's definitely creepy in its own way.

But this sensation... if anything—

 

 

Nico: ... What did you just say?

 

Mozzarella boss: The target of this attack isn't the Giorno family's hideout. It's you, Nico Giorno.
