I Become a Mafia in the Academy

Chapter 325

I'm sorry everyone but I'll be dropping this novel because it didn't go in the direction I thought it would.

When I started it I was very exited but I kept losing motivation as I translated. I would've powered through and finished it if it had fewer chapters but I didn't even reached the halfway point and the novel it's still ongoing.

All the coins used this month will be refunded.

""Greetings, Master and Lady!""

Entering the Spirit Kingdom just in time for the pre-arranged meeting, I found a large number of dark spirits and organization members lined up on either side, making a path for El Lata.

The inside of the dungeon was another world, an exotic landscape different from the outside.

With the help of the spirits, the crumbling walls were being rebuilt and new magical imprints were being carved.

They even invited famous architects to clean up the roads and raise new buildings in a new style.

The result was a harmonious blend of old and new.

As the group walked slowly toward the city along the path they had created, a familiar figure approached from the opposite direction.

"Black Hand."

-El Lata extends a hearty welcome to you and your party.

The former head of the Darkness, now the man in charge of El Lata.

In some ways, he was the most rapidly promoted officer in Corleone in the shortest amount of time.

In any case, because of the character of El Lata, it went over very smoothly. Moreover, there was no opposition in the meeting, thanks to my full support, of course.

Since everyone already knew his true identity as a spirit, he was practically my henchman, and all the other uncles who knew about it said nothing.

Let me, Eugene Han Corleone, take the reins of El Lata.

"Everything okay?"

As I grinned while holding onto the pitch-black hand that was being handed to me, he also smiled, lifting the corner of his mouth beneath his black robe.

-Yes, the city is recovering quickly, thanks to the reinforcements sent from Corleone.

"That certainly seems to be the case. Ah, you must meet my sister, Jiyun Han Corleone."

"Oh, hi. I'm Jiyun Han Corleone."

Once again, Jiyun gives a polite navel greeting.

Black Hand is taken aback by the unfamiliar greeting, but then he smiles and bows to Jiyun, placing a hand on his belly in return.

-I'm Black Hand, miss. It is a great honor to serve you and Master this time.

Raising his waist again, Black Hand extended his hand towards El Lata and spoke politely.

-Come, let's take a look at your new city.

We followed Black Hand down the hill and were greeted by quite a mysterious sight.

"Isn't that an elephant?"

"An elephant!"

The elephants, who had let out a terrifyingly loud roar and launched sonic attacks at their opponents when they first came to this land, were pulling a carriage with gags in their mouths.

-We tamed them by singing to them, and they became docile when we sang to them.

……A carriage pulled by elephants.

"The elephant's fur is shaggy!"

Knowing the animal's true nature, I couldn't help but feel alienated, but I was glad that Jiyun liked it so much.

"Is it okay to touch him like that?"

-Yes, once you tame them, they're more people-friendly than you might think. Of course, you'll have to gag them to be safe.

……This one would be great for a tourist attraction, right?

I climb into the carriage first, then pick up Jiyun, who hasn't been able to climb up yet, and put her in the seat next to me.

"Purr!"

She's still at the age where she's happy to be held by me. They say cuteness doesn't discriminate.

Black Son smiles at the sight and follows, climbing into the wagon behind me.

"If elephants are this good, what about the other animals?"

When I ask about the DMZ Zoo, one of the projects I'm working on in this development, Black Hand says it's no problem.

-Luckily for the animals here, humans don't seem to be much of a threat. They were frightened and aggressive because they had never seen us before, but once they got used to us, they seemed to like us, so we were able to bring them to the zoo without any problems.

"Really?"

It's good that things went smoothly.

"Jiyun, you'll see a lot of other animals in a little while."

"Really, pigeons, foxes, and puppies?"

"Yes, and some weird animals with fur all over their bodies."

She won't be able to touch them.

But maybe it's because she gets to see so many new animals Jiyun hugs me tightly.

"You're the best!"

Yeah, I live to hear this, really.

* * *

My date with Jiyun was very successful.

In fact, due to the nature of the creatures in the DMZ, I had to think about her safety as much as possible, but……for some reason, the animals were all very calm. Some even quietly let themselves be handled.

As it turns out, Jiyun's cuteness is universal across species.

Even the other spirits, who had been cold when they first met me, were very friendly toward her.

"Big brother, this one is warm, this one is cool!”

It was cute to see her playing with the spirits.

I sent all the photos of Jiyun to my dad via private message, and he replied immediately.

[Dad: :)]

After putting my phone away, I looked at the face of the person I was supposed to meet today.

She was swallowing the vanilla latte in front of her with a nonchalant expression.

As if she felt my gaze, she tilted her head.

Haru Inomiya, the eldest daughter of the director of the Inomiya Group, one of Japan's leading corporations, and one of the Inomiya Group heirs.

She was still on her tablet, checking the trade goods for the quarter.

"Is there a problem?"

"No, just a quick call from my father."

"Oh," she nodded.

As it turns out, the reason for meeting her outside of the academy was to discuss the upcoming school trip.

"So, you've got all the transportation and stuff arranged?"

"Yes. Fortunately, my father—the director—was very happy to hear that it was my job to help you, and promised full support.”

"Full support?"

"yes. When you arrive at the airport by private plane, you will probably be transferred to a bus with a custom engraving on it for safety. And all students will be guided to ‘Sora the Inomiya Hotel’ operated by our Inomiya Group.”

A private plane, an engraved bus and a hotel.

It's a real treat.

"Could you tell the Director that we're thankful? Ah, this isn't just from me, but also from my father."

"Yes, the Director will be very pleased with your thanks."

The Inomiya Group has been a kind of clan that has been our ally for a long time, ever since the founding of Corleone.

In the past, the Inomiya Group fought for succession. My father had saved the life of the current chairman during the so-called "Inomiya War".

Since then, the Inomiya Group has maintained a close connection to Corleone, and people from each family have been socializing and interacting with each other for many years.

The result.

"My father told me that he misses drinking with Don."

"I'll pass that on to him."

My father and the director of the Inomiya Group were close friends.

In other words, he was like an uncle to me.

"By the way, did you get the schedule from the academy?"

"Yes. I crossed out the dangerous parts of the schedule and changed the course to a hot spring hotel in Yufuin. We have information that the Silent Sniper is still hiding in the city center, so he won't come down to a rural area like Yufuin."

"An onsen……sounds good, it should be safe."

"Yes, we'll have plenty of people in the surrounding hotels, as well as the nearby forest, just in case, so all you really have to do is enjoy yourself. But, Master, I have a question."

"What is it?"

Haru asked me out of the blue.

"May I ask why Senior Julie Rodman is coming with us? I know that you're preparing something with her, but I was wondering if it was necessary for her to come with us this time."

"Oh, hasn't she told you yet?"

I thought about what had happened between Julie and me in the past. I gave her a brief account of what had happened on the Night of Walpurgis.

How she and I had met as the heirs of Corleone and House Rodman, and how we had joined forces to fight that monster.

"Ah, well, that certainly makes sense, then, as someone who knows your identity would have fewer constraints on your actions."

"Yes, and besides, I can think of few people in the Academy who would follow me if I were to make a move in case of an emergency."

Someone who could be a reliable ally in an emergency.

"Then you should have invited Julie to join us here today, right?"

"I did."

"What?"

"I invited her, but she's running late."

I sighed, washed it down with an Americano, and turned my head to stare out the window.

In the distance, on the other side of the crosswalk, I could see her fidgeting and checking her wristwatch.

She made eye contact with me, waved her hand in the air, and ran toward me at the green light.

……I saw her walk in front of me, and she's running from here?

"Hey, I'm late, sorry. How are you?"

Julie sits down next to Haru with a wry smile.

"You're half an hour late, senior."

She averts her gaze and waves her hand in the air when I glare at her.

"Uh, I couldn't help it, I get tired quickly on a sunny day like today!"

"Well, you've got plenty of money, why don't you take a cab?"

"Oh, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! So, where were we?"

She tried to change the subject, as if she knew I was going to keep nagging her.

I sighed and told her what I had discussed with Haru so far.

"And the surrounding hotels and buildings? Wow……you're a monster anyway, so sniping won't work."

Haru shook her head at Julie’s comment.

"It would be one thing if he was injured, but more importantly, if he was attacked in mainland Japan. It would be a disgrace to our family if an accident or incident occurred while the Inomiya Group was hosting him as a guest."

"It doesn't matter, I'm the heir, and my godfather said we should be as careful as the person we're dealing with."

That's how the people of the past knew the Silent Sniper was a nuisance.

Even my godfather was furious when he heard my story, saying, "That piece of shit is in Japan, why don't I go kill him?”

When Julie heard our explanations, she closed her eyes and let out a ‘hmmm…….' sound.

Then she snaps her fingers.

"I have an idea."

She licked her lips and smiled an eerie, yet refreshing smile.

……Why it’s that gesture so unsettling?
