I Become a Mafia in the Academy Chapter 215

Became the Academy Mafia Episode 215

Is it because of the sudden change in atmosphere? The girl sitting on the bed is embarrassed and looks at me and Ludwig alternately.

“uh… … grandfather? You mean business? With him… … “Doing business with the mafia?”

She looks like she can’t follow the story. In response, Ludvio puts his hand on her shoulder.

“Could you please leave for a moment? “I feel like we need to talk about something important.”

But she shakes her head at this.

“no! no, I do not want! “If it’s about my grandfather, I’ll listen to it too!”

As she said that, she clasped both hands and stood up from her seat, standing next to Ludvio as if she were his bodyguard.

He shakes his head and touches his forehead at that sight.

“Really, I can’t stop you. then… … Can I call you Caglione? Or Han?”

“Eugene will do. Maestro.”

“Okay, then I’ll call you at ease. Eugene. I can’t do anything about this child’s stubbornness. “It’s okay if we stay together like this, right?”

I am in a position to listen to requests. The client said it was okay since he was someone he trusted, but I had nothing to say.

“You can do whatever you feel comfortable with.”

“Thank you. “You know the general story of why you decided to come here, right?”

“The Maestro said he was in trouble and told me to go and help him. “That’s all I heard.”

This is the quest window that came to mind at that time.

【Hidden Quest】

[Return of the Maestro]

[Ludvio is said to be the world’s greatest shoemaker. He is in a difficult situation due to an incident in his past. Help him solve various problems and become his benefactor.]

[Goal: Complete Maestro’s request]

[Reward: Increased Maestro’s favorability, influence on Sicily Island.]

I seemed to vaguely remember what I saw in the game, but unfortunately I couldn’t remember the details.

That’s right, most of the sub-stories were skipped in order to progress quickly.

“Then I guess I should tell you, at least briefly, what I’m going through.”

“grandfather… … .”

Elena puts her hand gently on Ludvio’s shoulder and makes a pitiful expression.

“In the past, mafia forces in Sicily. I once borrowed a large amount of money from the Medici family using the workshop as collateral. “At the time, I thought I could pay the price.”

Borrowed money?

“May I ask how much it is?”

Well, if it’s something that can be handled with money, it’s something that can be solved fairly easily.

I asked with such a light heart.

“I can’t count.”

“… … yes?”

“With compound interest, 15 years have passed. Do you get the sense? “I just expect it to be priced astronomically.”

Oh, is that obvious?

In the first place, this request was not something that could be solved with money.

“Then how on earth did you borrow that kind of money?”

It was Elena who answered this question.

“… … Because of me. I was sick a lot when I was young. At that time, my grandfather gave me treatment by mortgaging his workshop for me.”

“I heard that she is not your biological granddaughter, but what is your relationship? … .”

“That child’s father died because of me. She actually died trying to protect me. Do you know what the situation was in Italy in the past?”

“yes. Because of that, my father also left for another country.”

Dungeon explosion worldwide.

Among them, Italy’s initial response was insufficient, and anarchy continued for several years amidst the fear of monsters and dungeons appearing.

At least I knew that in Sicily, the mafia, which had acted as vigilantes in the past, fought to protect their property and farms, creating an environment in which people could live to some extent… … In the end, they too are just ordinary humans.

“Even in that environment, we tried to survive. Oh, your father, of course. I don’t mean to criticize Caglione. At that time, Italy was no longer a country but just a piece of land called the Italian Peninsula. “It was natural for each person to live his or her own life.”

In the first place, they were the ones who remained because they could not leave their hometown.

Ludvio tried to protect his property and workshop. And it was Elena’s father who helped Ludvio and protected the village together.

“As an early awakener, he was very strong. “No one in Sicily at the time could not help but recognize his skills.”

But he died.

He lost his life due to an explosion in the dungeon and a mutant entity that emerged from within it.

“And God started taking care of us.”

Just when you thought it was all over. Reinforcements arrived from mainland Italy.

A newly reorganized military organization led by the Pope, not the already destroyed Italian government.

‘crusades’.

They began to move and eliminate all dungeons and monsters throughout Italy.

“But it was arrogant to think that everyone was saved.”

Most of those whose lives were saved were those who lost even more.

“I thought the country should help them too.”

Therefore, he began to help rebuild the village using the wealth he had accumulated over the years. And in the process, I met Elena.

She was suffering from an unknown disease.

“To save her, a holy relic in the Vatican. They say you need ‘Holy Blood’, an elixir called an elixir. That’s why I bought it. Money you have and money you don’t have. “She pulled everything together and it wasn’t enough, so she borrowed money from the Medici family.”

He thought it was natural, and even now, that thought remains the same.

Because she thought it was right to use the life saved by her father in this way.

And this immediately began to take away everything from him.

“… … Even back then, I thought I would be able to repay it with my skills. “But the timing wasn’t good.”

It is said that the reconstruction of Italy began with the Vatican at the center and that everything would get better.

But that was an illusion. The Vatican began to sell all the materials obtained through the Crusades abroad, and as a result he was unable to cope with the rapid increase in inflation.

The client also did not exist.

Italy, where everything has been destroyed.

Although things are said to have improved, there are still many areas that are risky, so most of the existing business partners have collapsed.

However, he believed in his own skills.

I had no doubt that many people would come to me to overcome difficult times.

However, strangely enough, he did not receive any requests, and in the process, his debt began to grow like a snowball.

“I tried to survive somehow.”

But even so, he was a maestro.

A person who holds a title that can only be awarded to one craftsman in each craft in the world.

Eventually, as time passed, many people began to look for him.

He worked until he died. To overcome this situation, he started working like a dog and paying off his debt.

However, the trap that was cleverly set in the first place was not something he could have done with his strength alone… … No matter how much you repay, only the interest is resolved and the principal you borrowed shows no signs of decreasing.

“Then I heard about the little Caglione kid from the past. Who would have thought that the bravest and most righteous kid in town would now become a mafia boss who causes fear throughout the world?”

That’s why he asked Caglione for help.

The children who used to buy snacks for him came to his workshop and listened to old stories.

Vito Caglione and Dominic Adanbanto. To those two children.

“… … Before coming here. “There is something that my godfather told me to tell to Ludvio.”

“hmm?”

“──Caglione does not forget her debt.”

As we talked, I held his hand and continued speaking in a serious voice, as he returned with an old expression on his face.

“I also just came to repay my debt. Maestro.”

Only then does a smile appear on his face.

* * *

After all the talk is over.

Elena and I came out in front of the cliff outside the cabin.

This was because I hoped that he would have had a more comfortable meal as he was tired from talking about difficult things.

“… … “I’m sorry for startling you just now.”

“yes?”

When I was silently looking at the waves below the cliff. Elena’s voice was heard.

“As my grandfather said earlier. Because my grandfather was in danger because of the mafia. So I thought you sent me to get money from Medici again?”

She was sitting on the cliff, bouncing her legs in the air, then turned her head toward me and lowered her head.

“therefore… … really sorry. And, thank you so much for coming to help us.”

Seeing her suddenly apologize, I waved my hand and said.

“it’s okay. It’s completely misleading. Even if I were to suddenly say that the other person was a member of a mafia family, I would be on guard.”

“… … Thank you for your understanding.”

As she answers, she raises her head again and pushes back her hair that had become matted by the sea breeze.

“If you ever need my help, please let me know.”

“… … yes?”

“I’m actually pretty strong.”

As she said that, she opened her palms.

At the same time, the wind began to gather in her palm, and a bluish canary appeared above it.

“… … government ordinance?”

“ah. I guess you know? that’s right. This child’s name is Tinkerbell. “She is always by my side.”

From the first time I saw him, I felt something, was he someone who had made a contract with a spirit?

“I heard that spirit masters are quite rare, but I never dreamed I would come across one by chance like this. “If you don’t mind, may I ask when you awakened?”

Even if it can only take the form of a bird like a canary, it means that it has made a contract with a mid-level spirit.

If so, it was clear that he had been with the spirit for at least a long time.

“I heard that he became awakened after drinking the Precious Blood. Tinkerbell has been with me since I was young.”

… … It’s beyond imagination.

Since they had been together for that long, it seems like he was able to handle intermediate spirits at that age.

“Certainly, being an intermediate level spiritist would be helpful.”

“Yes?!”

“But I refuse.”

“yes?”

Her smiling expression suddenly falls apart.

“Why on earth? “You said it would help?”

“It might be helpful. But will old man Ludvio like it?”

He was the one who squandered all his money to protect her in the first place.

But what if the girl who protected her like that gets involved in something dangerous again? It was obvious that she would tell him to stop right away.

“… … “I will convince my grandfather.”

“But that doesn’t work.”

“Why again this time!”

Why can’t she be with me?

“you. “You’re weak.”

“… … yes?”

She was too weak to move with me.

“If you can use a mid-level spirit, you can definitely be considered stronger than your peers. But that doesn’t mean you’re strong enough to stand up to the Medici family.”

“You don’t know that yet!”

“So, do you want to bet?”

“… … A bet?”

How to persuade people who want to do something like this. It’s very simple.

“Let’s spar lightly. I’ll only use my left arm and you’ll fight me with all your might. If you succeed in subduing me, I will join you.”

That is, breaking it with force.

It was also a very overwhelming defeat.

“Deal?”

Let’s take a look at that talent, shall we?
