Event Story – Chocolate Mint Feud! ch.1

 

Teo: Haah... Haah...
Ugh, this is just awful... I never thought I'd end up like this...

 

Enemy mafioso A: Ayo, where the hell did that punk dip to!? With a size like that, he should be easy to catch!

 

Enemy mafioso B: Yo, relax, we already handled the boss. That punk can't escape with his busted comms, no way he's gettin' outta here.

 

Teo: Ugh, I'm surrounded... It's only a little way to big bro's house, but I can't get away like this...

I could just hide in a container until they leave...

 

Enemy mafioso A: Yo, there he is! This way!!

 

Teo: !?

 

Enemy mafioso B: You gonna be chillin' with your pops in the afterlife!

 

Teo: (Crap! If things go on like this, I'm toast...!!

ーBig bro, help me!)

 

Enemy mafioso B: Gaahh...

 

Teo: ... Huh?

 

Enemy mafioso A: Wait... a hero!? What the hell you doin' here!?

 

Teo: (A hero!? Wait, maybe it'sー)

 

Jude: Haha, I have no clue what you're doing, but I want in!

 

Teo: (... That's not my big bro. That guy's...)

 

Enemy mafioso A: Ayo, you tryna get involved... we just some everyday peeps, ya dig!? Can a hero really mess with regular folks like us!?

 

Jude: Wow, I had no idea you were just normal people.

I mean, who would have thought the guys hiding guns under their suits were actually just ordinary people?

 

Enemy mafioso A: Yo, why this fool...

 

Jude: You can tell this much just by looking, even through your clothes.

Now then, Bianchi told me not to lay a hand on ordinary civilians, but they also said that if a civilian ends up in a dangerous situation, I should help them.

Looks like in this case, fighting for the latter reason is the right choice.

 

Enemy mafioso A: Fuck!

 

Jude: Huff!

 

Enemy mafioso A: Agh...

 

Jude: Sigh, you're not fun.

Teo: ......
 

Jude: Hey, you civilian over there. I'm heading out, so call the police or something.

 

Teo: W‑ Wait, hold on!

 

Jude: What?

 

Teo: You're my big bro's buddy, right? That's why you helped me, right?

 

Jude: Who are you?

 

Teo: Uh... you don't recognize me? I'm Nico Giorno's younger brother.

 

Jude: Nico Giorno?

 

Teo: Are you for real? Wasn't he your classmate, aren't you on the same team!

 

Jude: That's just Nico.

Right, I guess he does have a family name.

 

Teo: ... I'm his younger brother, Teo Giorno! I turned you guys into kids before, remember?

Wait, why am I even explaining the stuff I did...?

Jude: Don't remember.

 

Teo: Seriously?

 

Jude: I feel like I met Bianchi as a child, but I can't remember any of it. Damn it, to miss such a once‑in‑a‑lifetime chance...

 

Teo: What's with this guy? I can't understand him at all...

Whatever. Uh, sorry, but can I borrow your phone for a sec? I need to contact big bro.

 

Jude: Just contact him yourself.

 

Teo: When those guys over there attacked me, my phone was the first thing they smashed...

 

Jude: ... Right, you were being chased by the mafia.

 

Teo: Yeah. That's why I wanted my brother to help me.

Jude: In that case, I'll help too.

 

Teo: Eh, really...?

 

Jude: Yeah. I'll take you to Nico. That way I'll get to fight the mafia, and that sounds pretty fun.

 

Teo: ... Um, you could just call big bro for me. Then he'd come pick me up.

 

Jude: That's boring.

 

Teo: ... Huh?

 

Jude: I was planning to head to his place anyway. Let’s go.

 

Teo: What do you mean boring? I'm in a life-threatening situation here.

 

Jude: That's a situation to be jealous of. If I could, I'd trade places with you.

 

Teo: ......

 

Jude: Alright, mafia or gangsters, come at me! Entertain me!



Teo: Ugh... why is this happening to me...

To Chapter 2

Event Story – Chocolate Mint Feud! ch.2

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?

Event Story – Chocolate Mint Feud! ch.3

Teo: ......

Nico: *Munch, munch*

Sage: Bianchi-san, you had a meeting about that matter today, right? How did it go?

 

Bianchi: Fufu, it's officially under way! Starting tomorrow, I'll be busy ♪

 

Sage: Wow, really?

 

Nico: What are you talking about?

 

Sage: Hm, you don't know, Nico? A sweets company is doing a chocolate‑mint fair for Valentine's, and HELIOS is going to collaborate with them.

Nico: First I've heard of it.

 

Bianchi: And in today's meeting, they decided I'll be the coordinator on HELIOS side ♪

 

Jude: They've appointed you, Bianchi? They've got a good eye for talent.

 

Bianchi: As a chocolate mint lover, I'm really happy about it.

Oh, and I was wondering if I could get everyone's help at the shop on the day of the event?

Nico: You mean like… to sell stuff?

 

Bianchi: Yes ♪ And I'll have matching costumes ready for us.

 

Jude: Count on me, Bianchi. I'm ready to give my all to help at the shop.

 

Sage: I'm fine with it too. What about you, Nico?

 

Nico: Sure. That works for me.

 

Bianchi: Thank you, everyone ♪ I truly needed a handful of heroes on the team.

 

Licht: Can I come visit the shop, too?

Bianchi: Of course. Come by after school ♪

 

Licht: Okay.

 

Teo: ......

 

Nico: *Munch, munch*... Teo, do you want to come too?

 

Teo: ... Not really. I'm not into chocolate mint.

Bianchi: Oh, that's a real shame. I would've asked you to help at the shop too if you liked it.

Teo: ... Why me?

 

Bianchi: It would be great if you could model the costume.

 

Teo: Me?

 

Bianchi: We can't let that tall frame go to waste, can we? I'd just fix your posture a little, though.

 

Jude: Leave fixing his posture to me. Standing tall was a common practice among the military.

Teo: Hell no! And seriously, that sounds like such a pain.

Look, I'm the type who wants to stay inside and sleep all day... so even being here for dinner is seriously exhausting...

 

Sage: Hehe, you really are Nico's brother, Teo-kun.

 

Teo: ... How did you get that from what I just said?

 

Bianchi: You know, that 'ugh, too much effort' attitude is such a Nico thing, too.

 

Jude: He won't say it at the dinner table, though.

Sage: Yep ♪ Nico says things are a hassle all the time.

 

Teo: ... No, we're not alike. Big bro, say something.

Nico: Denying it is just too much trouble.

 

Bianchi: See?

 

Teo: Big bro!

 

Jude: Your faces look alike too. You're like a tall Nico.

 

Teo: You didn't even believe I was his brother earlier!

 

Bianchi: Sorry, sweetie. He has a hard time remembering people.

 

Jude: Haha, I can't and don't intend to.

 

Teo: ... Ugh, I'm so tired of everything. I really want to snuggle up in a fluffy bed right now.

 

Licht: You're done eating?

 

Teo: ... I ate, didn't I?

 

Sage: Now that I think about it, I had this on my mind the other time too, but you don't eat as much as Nico, Teo-kun.

 

Teo: Don’t compare me to him. His stomach is clearly broken.

 

Licht: ......

 

Teo: W‑ Why are you staring at me...

 

Licht: You barely eat, but you're really tall...

 

Nico: Teo doesn't eat much, but he sleeps a lot.
 

Bianchi: Oh, so that's why. They do say kids grow when they sleep.

 

Nico: Right. Teo slept too much and ended up this big.

 

Teo: Then why are you so short even though you eat so much?

 

Licht: ... Hehe, siblings are funny. Sometimes they're alike, other times they're completely different.

 

Sage: Yeah. Watching those two makes me a little jealous.

 

Licht: Hm.

 

Teo: ......

 

Nico: You two are kind of like brothers too, no?

 

Licht: Sage and I?

 

Sage: Hehe, maybe that's how people see us.

 

Teo: No way. You don't even look alike.

 

Licht: ......

 

Nico: It's not about looks. You're both kind in similar ways.

 

Bianchi: Even if you don't look like brothers, you still look like a family. Nico included.

 

Sage: Hehe, hearing that makes me really happy.

 

Licht: ... Yeah.

 

Nico: ......

Teo: ......

 

Nico: Phew, done cleaning up.

 

Sage: Alright, let's call it a night. We'll head back to our apartment.
 

Bianchi: I should get going too. See you, Nico, Teo.

 

Licht: Good night.

 

Nico: Good night.

 

Teo: ......

 

Nico: What's wrong?

Teo: ... I've decided I won't ask you for help. I'm going back to the family to handle it myself.

Nico: Why the sudden change of heart?

To Chapter 2 | Chapter 4

Event Story – Chocolate Mint Feud! ch.4

Teo: This isn't something you need to worry about, big bro.

 

Nico: Teo?

 

Teo: It's a pain, I hate it, I don't wanna do it... but I'll go back to the hideout and rebuild the family.

So you can just stay here and enjoy your life.

 

Nico: You think you can handle that without dad backing you, while you're still under house arrest?

 

Teo: T‑ That's why I said it's none of your business! I'll hack everyone's phones, manipulate all the info, and make it work somehow!

 

Nico: That won't work in an actual meeting.

 

Teo: Then we'll do it in VR. I'lll set a ton of banned words, and anyone who goes against me gets banned.

 

Nico: You seriously think that'll solve anything?

 

Teo: ... I don't. But what else can I do?

Unlike you, the only place I can hole up is there.

 

Nico: Haah...

 

Teo: What's with that sigh? It's annoying...

 

Nico: I'll take care of it.

 

Teo: Huh...?

 

Nico: I'm not part of the Giorno family anymore, but I am Nico Giorno.

So I'll help.

 

Teo: What does that even mean…? I don't get it.

 

Nico: If you don't want help, I won't. It's a hassle for me, too.

 

Teo: Ah, sorry! I don't hate it!

 

Jude: Good. Then count me in as well.

 

Teo: Geh...

 

Nico: Jude, you're still here?

 

Jude: Yeah. Bianchi asked me to clean up the food, so I've been washing the dishes until now.

You're getting involved in a mafia conflict, right? Then let me help too.

 

Teo: No, we can't get a civilian mixed up in—

 

Nico: It's fine. It's Jude.

 

Teo: Wait, seriously?

 

Nico: And what about helping Bianchi?

 

Jude: They said I only need to help on the day of the event. I'd rather not interfere and make things difficult for them.

 

Teo: You are sticking your nose into this conflict though...

 

Jude: I'll talk to Bianchi beforehand, of course. If they say no, then forget everything I just said.

 

Nico: Alright. Thanks.

 

Teo: Are you sure this is a good idea? You could be at risk every single day.

 

Jude: Haha, that's hardly a downside. I'd love that.

 

Teo: ......

 

Nico: See? Jude will be fine.

 

Teo: I feel like it's bad, but in a different way...

Jude: So, what do we start with? Storming the enemy's hideout? We go straight for the boss?

 

Nico: First, we head to the Giorno family hideout.

 

Jude: Aren't they on our side?

 

Nico: In theory. But if we don't talk to them first, they'll start retaliating and it'll turn into a full‑scale war.

 

 

Advisor: ――Listen well. The boss was like a father to us.

Anyone who sits back and lets their father get taken out is no mafia—it's trash.

And that kind of trash deserves to be thrown in the sea and used as fish bait.
 

Mafiosi: ......

 

Executive: Prepare for an all-out attack on the Mozzarella Family!

How dare they challenge the Giorno family!? Make sure every last one of them, from the top brass to the lowest rank, regrets this!

 
Mafiosi: Yeahhh!!

 

Nico: Alright, that's enough.

 

Executive: Who's there!?

 

Advisor: Master Teo and… Master Nico?

To Chapter 3 | Chapter 5

Event Story – Chocolate Mint Feud! ch.5

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...)
