Chapter 29 - Chapter 28: A Father's Forlorn

Filippo was left at Delta's office while reading the manga that Maximo gave them. The plot was based on the Mafia 7 years ago, the drawings was well-drawn and the climaxes were amazing. He was surprised that Maximo could draw and is now a famous author and illustrator. Upon reading, he reached the scene where two of the protagonist we're locked in the enemies basement, they we're both given a disassembled gun that they have to assemble quickly. "Man.. this is morphed.." Filippo muttered while analyzing the scene.

"  "You two want to survive right?" the villain of the story asked while looking at the two protagonists. "Let's play a game!" he exclaimed in ecstacy before giving them both two disassembled guns. "I'll give you two 30 seconds to assemble these guns. Once you assembled it, kill your friend with it." he grinned before showing the timer.

"3.." the protagonist named Shimizu sweated intensely.

"2..." the protagonist which they called Lani the homunculus remained calm.

"1! Go!" the villain named Reginald yelled, Lani was determined to get out so she started assembling the gun. Shimizu only stared at her dumbfounded due to the fact that she can't even assemble a gun. As Lani finished, she averted her gaze at Reginald

"No one told me that you can kill yourself instead of killing your friend." she smirked before pointing the gun at her head.

"Lani—!"

"Mizu...I'm sorry.."

The sound of the gunshot echoed throughout the room, her blood scattered everywhere leaving Shimizu staring at her dead body dumbfounded. "Is this the beauty of friendship?! HOW MARVELOUS!!" Reginald only exclaimed while raising both of his arms. Shimizu screamed her name while reaching out to her corpse. " Filippo read while his face distorted into despair.

"Gsauce fries I need to see some morality after this.." he muttered before closing the book. "Filippo, what happened??" Giusto asked while sitting on the couch inside of the office. "Turns out that Fausta committed suicide than killing Delta, but I haven't read the remaining chapters, it's just, it's too much for me to handle." Filippo sighed while looking very deprived. "So.. wanna grab some chicken nuggets to make you feel better? Nunzio and I will go to the fast-food chain nearby." Giusto offered, "Sure!" Filippo smiled like a happy kid.

Flavio, Dante, Dorotea and Tomasso are currently working at the Cafe's Branch 3, Wilhevit joined the four to guard Flavio. Dante and Wilhevit kept on picking on each other while Flavio and Dorotea only continued on working quietly. The two are still awkward cause of what happened back at House Quattrocchi, the scene was still vivid in Dorotea's mind while the words are still embedded in Flavio's mind. He no longer can simp on Dorotea because of his sister, Wilhevit is watching.

"Have you seen Luciano roaming around?" Dante asked Wilhevit while they're staying in the female's comfort room.

"I've been keeping an eye on him for the past days. He seem to roam around House Drago, Maestri and Quattrocchi. He will only go out when he's gonna visit Dorotea or either go to House Fiore. Still, I'm not sure on why is he even going to House Fiore." Wilhevit muttered while fixing her make up.

"You are doing it wrong, let me fix that for you." Dante grabbed the lipstick from Wilhevit and fixed her make up.

"How can you be so good at this..?" she asked while being amazed.

"They've been forcing me onto crossdressing, and yes, I learned on how to put on a make up cause of that. And why are you so bad at it?" he explained while braiding Wilhevit's hair. 

"My life only focused on acing up on my studies and assassinations.." she muttered while smiling.

'So she also has a soft side.. not prideful at all times eh?' Dante thought to himself before tying her blonde hair.

"My father only wanted us to act like soldiers, and that's why all of his children are probably adamantius. With the exception of my idiotic brother who chose to find his childhood friend more than on studying." her tone suddenly changed from soft to prideful.

"There, I fixed it for you." Dante looked away, "Do I look pretty..?" Wilhevit asked him while staring at the mirror. He suddenly freezed before answering, "Y-yeah.. pretty..", Wilhevit stood up and slammed Dante on the wall, "Are you perhaps thinking I'm unattractive?" she glared at him. "The hell are you thinking!? You are pretty okay?!" Dante yelled nervously while leaning on the wall.

A worker suddenly barged in and saw the two inside, "P-please excuse me...hehe..".

"IT'S NOT LIKE WHAT YOU ARE THINKING RIGHT NOW! PLEASE DON'T MISUNDERSTOOD THE SITUATION!" the two yelled in sync before the worker closed the door.

Nico arrived at the Vitalis City, [Oh.. Gamma, I just arrived at the Vitalis City.] he muttered while calling Gamma.

[How much is the bail and when will be the trial will hold?] Gamma asked.

[The bail is 157.84 Euro, still I'm not sure the exact amount because Delta committed a lot of crimes aside from murder. And the trial will be hold on June 01.] Nico stated.

[Do you know who the accuser is?] Gamma asked again.

[I've searched the files and I've discovered that the accuser is a member of the House Battaglia. Maybe it's one of the Fantasma Rosso's scheme to take out Delta from the battlefield.] Nico answered while standing at the airport's terminal.

[This could be a problem, for now... Visit the House Shinigai and ask for their help to get Delta out of there.] Gamma stated before hanging up.

"So I'll just visit Mr. Shinigai in surprise.." Nico sighed before walking out of the terminal to find a taxi to ride on.

Marco and Hanatsuki arrived at the House Shinigai, the two just came from protecting Yoshikobi. "Have you heard anything on what are the older people are talking about?" Hanatsuki asked.

"Yeah.. it's all about an attack.. but I don't know where or who will they even attack." Marco stated.

"I see.." Hanatsuki sighed before sitting on the sofa.

"Even though we are guarding Yoshikobi, our main mission is to investigate on what is House Yoshikobi is truly planning right?" Marco asked.

"Exactly, those slicky bastards are very quicky-witted." Hanatsuki sighed before drinking the tea that the maids offered.

Suddenly, the door opened, and a red haired man arrived while bringing a case filled with money.

"B-beta II..? What is he doing here..?" Marco's eyes widened.

"Seems there's an urgent matter on why he rushed in here." Hanatsuki muttered.

"I wish to speak to Mr. Fuuniku, it's an urgent matter." Nico commanded.

"See? Maybe it's very important.." Hanatsuki sighed again.

"I wonder what it is.." Marco rubbed his chin.

Minutes later, Nico was escorted to the Main Office to talk to Fuuniku. He opened the door and saw Fuuniku sitting on the chair, "What is it that you wish to speak about?" Fuuniku asked while fidgeting his fingers. Hanatsuki and Marco stayed outside of the to eavesdrop on them.

"Your daughter.. Baratsuki Shinigai or Delta I, was arrested by the police." Nico stated.

Fuuniku's face tensed up, "So she was taken in here the Vitalis City for a trial, am I right..?" he asked trying to guess the situation. Nico only nodded.

'So..I was right.. Baratsuki is really is Delta I.' Marco thought to himself.

"Shou-kun, call the House Shinigai's personal lawyer." Fuuniku commanded, "I would like to see my daughter this instance, Beta II, guide me to the North where she's imprisoned." he added while looking at Nico.
