Became the Academy Mafia Episode 217
Palermo, a city located in Sicily.
-Victimae paschali laudes.
-(Praise the sacrifice of Pascha.)
Inside the Palermo Cathedral, the voices of the choir singing were resonating.
The light leaking from the ceiling and the marble statues give a warm feeling.
The man who was sitting alone in the cathedral praying, as if surrounded by them, heard the sound of footsteps echoing from behind and slowly stood up.
“Amen.”
After finishing his prayer, he slowly raises his head and quietly asks.
“… … What’s going on? “I would have told you not to disturb me during mass.”
“sorry. money. “Because the matter is urgent.”
“Is the matter urgent? Okay, let’s take a listen. “Why did you interrupt the mass?”
He hesitated to speak for a moment, then slowly lifted his head to his ear and spoke.
“This is Caglione. “Callione Jr. came to visit me, saying he wanted to retrieve the money.”
“… … what?”
The man let out a laugh as if he had not expected this.
“Callione Junior. “That kid came all the way to Italy?”
“That’s right. Not only are the items symbolizing belonging to Calyone, but they are also similar to the disfigurement that the boss mentioned in the past… … .”
“Stop—.”
The man gently raised his hand to interrupt him.
“That’s enough… … “Bring Callione Junior.”
“yes. Don Medici.”
The man who received Medici’s orders walked out again, and Medici stared blankly at the cross in front, listening to the choir sing.
-Agnus redemit oves:
-(For the Lamb saved the great flock)
At the same time, the sound of shoe footsteps is heard from behind.
-Ttogak
-Ttogak
-Ttogak
-Also──
The sound of shoes standing still for a moment. Someone in a black suit naturally sits next to Medici and puts his hands together in prayer.
The man slowly turns his head and looks at the person sitting next to him.
“Amen.”
After briefly praying, the man raised his face and slowly turned his head to look into Medici’s eyes.
“Nice to meet you. Don Medici.”
A little relaxed and a little nervous. And seeing him speaking first with an expression of interest, Medici felt interested and lowered his sunglasses slightly.
“… … Calyone Jr. “I never thought I’d meet you here.”
“I also never thought we would meet so soon. I’m sure the last time I saw you was… … It was Walpurgis last time, right? “Even though I saw you from afar.”
While saying that, Eugene straightened his back completely. The corner of her Medici mouth raises as if she is amused by the sight.
“Yes, I definitely saw it then. But how did you come here, even interrupting someone else’s mass?”
At those words, Eugene glanced at the cross.
“It’s not really a big deal.”
I looked at Medici in front of me again.
“I just wanted to make a suggestion.”
“proposal?”
-tu nobis, victor Rex, miserere.
-(Have mercy on us, King of Victory)
“──A debt owed to the Maestro. Please reimburse me in full.”
-Amen. Alleluia.
-(Amen. Praise the Lord.)
* * *
As the choir’s song ends, the cathedral falls into silence.
He is silently staring into my eyes through sunglasses.
One, he can’t do anything to me right now. This is the ‘cathedral.’
It is a place of sacred promise where force is taboo.
“under!”
And when he finally broke the silence, the first sound he let out was a loud laugh.
“haha! Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha! So that was it. That’s why you came to see me! Haha! Hahahaha!”
He bursts out laughing at the cathedral leaving, then puts his hand under his sunglasses and wipes away his tears.
“I never imagined that the old man would bring Callione. Okay, whatever the inspiration said. “Did he say he would help you if you wiped out his debt?”
“Actually, because Caglione owed him… … In the first place, as far as I know, is there anyone in Sicily who did not owe Maestro Ludvio?”
I was sure it probably wasn’t there.
He is a man who generously gave his wealth to Sicily and its people since ancient times.
“… … For that old man, all I had to do was earn a few pieces of bread. “This job is okay.”
“That’s what the Medici family thinks. Unlike Caglione.”
“I guess Caglione is stupid. ‘Medici present and future. And he finds reality in the past too.’”
I unconsciously snorted at the Medici family hymn that came out of his mouth.
The fact that he said this meant that he really had no intention of backing down from this matter.

“Then I guess we can’t help it. It seems that asking for mercy was difficult for Don Medici… … “I have no choice but to approach it a little differently.”
“Approach it differently… … What, are you planning to start a war? Here?”
As Medici said that, he looked around and shrugged his shoulders.
A sacred and inviolable space where no violence can be committed, no matter how mafia. That’s why most mafias made deals or negotiations in cathedrals.
“Speaking of war, could it be that I came here with such radical thoughts? “We, Caglione, are different from others who would recklessly start a war.”
“Your guy… … .”
Even though he is behind sunglasses, his staring gaze is so sharp that it seems as if it could pierce a person.
However, I smiled calmly and returned his gaze.
“What I propose to Don Medici is business.”
“business? Unfortunately, Caglione Junior. “No matter how much he owes you——.”
“──Etna Volcano.”
He stops talking at my words.
“You’re in quite a bit of trouble because of Mount Etna, aren’t you?”
When I smiled and spoke as if it was no big deal, he slowly took off his sunglasses with trembling hands and placed them on the chair and table.
Deep-set eyes and rough hands that convey the feeling of age.
After drying his face and pressing his face, he looked at me with a gaze that felt heavy just a moment ago and quietly opened his mouth.
“──Who did you hear it from? “Is it Callione?”
A completely different atmosphere from the previous one.
His voice, mixed with mischief, was as cold as ice, and his mouth, which always had a smile on it, was straight.
“It’s Callione.”
“… … This is a fact I have been hiding for years. But the fact that you know this doesn’t mean that Caglione’s intelligence office has already discovered this fact as well.”
Medici was an ordinary man, not an awakened man.
He was a person who, despite being a non-awakened person, had risen to the top simply through his own ingenuity and was leading the awakened people.
Is it because of that?
“Don’t say you don’t know Caglione. If that’s the case, wouldn’t I have to kill you, Calyone Junior, with my own hands…? … .”
I felt like I was under a lot of pressure from him right now.
This is the man called the godfather of Sicily. ‘Shylock Medici’.
but.
“Do you want it to be easy?”
I smiled as leisurely as I could and glanced at the cross in the cathedral.
“Here.”
It seems like he finally realized it. His gaze wavered slightly.
“I was planning on doing this from the beginning. “Coming to the cathedral in the first place was intentional.”
“Isn’t it natural? I’m coming to see no one else but Don Medici, so I couldn’t have come without thinking. and… … To answer the question you asked me a while ago, no one in Caglione except me knows about ‘Etna Volcano’.”
“what?”
“I don’t know what this means… … “You probably don’t know.”
If I know him, there’s no way he wouldn’t know. If you don’t know, it will only be disappointing.
“hmm… … .”
After hearing my answer, he leaned forward and leaned against the backrest.
“That’s right. But why are you telling me that? I’m sure I didn’t say it with my own mouth. “If only you knew that, you would die.”
This man was truly saying this.
They say they could kill me, the successor of Caglione, and cover it up to hide information about ‘Etna Volcano’.
Because he was not a person who saw the future, but a person who saw the present.
one.
“Even on Walpurgis Night, did you think I was someone who would die easily?”
Without losing my smile until the end, I took out a piece of paper that I had folded up in my pocket and waved it at him.
Then Medici’s expression suddenly distorted.
“… … that.”
“Don Medici would know. “What kind of thing is this?”
[ጿMidsommar 1-time free pass!]
A kind of strategic weapon that can summon dozens of crazy fairies just by tearing it apart.
“Try it. “I can tear this up right now and leave Medici with nothing but the past.”
I said that in a sincere tone to make sure that what I said was not a lie.
What if they are not properly prepared?
I was confident that if I summoned the fairies here right away, they would cause devastating damage not only to Shylock Medici but also to the Medici family.
“… … “You want to use it in the cathedral?”
“Why is the person who threatened to kill me at the church in the first place even bothering with this? And violence is committed by fairies, not me. The fairies… … “You know, right?”
They were beings who only followed their king, the ‘Fairy King’, and did not care about Catholicism.
“… … “Things are really scary these days.”
“It’s a long way to go to be this scared.”
The proper story hasn’t even started yet.
“I know what Don Medici wants to get from Mount Etna. “I also know why he created a debt to Maestro Ludwig by playing around with the contract.”
“You know that?”
“Isn’t it because of the Ignis Giant?”
A monster crouching in a deep dungeon of Etna Volcano.
Fire giant.
The Medici family, they had been preparing for years to get rid of that monster.
“… … I know that far. “Then you know why I want to hunt the fire giant.”
“The by-products of hunting fire giants. Many people believe that the intention is to use it to shake up the European economy, but in reality, this is to create a plausible reason. “Isn’t the real reason because of the Ignis essence?”
And for the first time, his expression wavered.
“Well, how do you do that?”
And at the same time.
[The other party is starting to feel afraid of the user.]
[「An Offer You Can’t Refuse」 is activated.]
Everything started to go as planned.
I spoke to him while lightly tapping my finger on my temple.
“What matters now is not how I know it. Don Medici, shouldn’t you be thinking carefully about why I am telling you this information so lightly?”
In an instant, the atmosphere changed, and his confident expression suddenly collapsed completely.
That’s because the secret that only he and a few of his confidants knew throughout his life is now coming out of my mouth.
So I hold out some hope.
“I will help you.”
“… … what?”
“What I am saying is that I will help you attack the fire giant on Mount Etna. As Don Medici knows, I am confident that I am quite an expert in this area. For example, guys like Fafnir on Jeju Island.”
Because humans finally find hope in fear.
“I will help you at a low price. With just a little kindness in hiring me and the simple task of clearing Maestro Ludvio’s debt, you can obtain the essence of the Fire Giant. How is it?”
──He will have no choice but to pick up the hope that has fallen before his eyes.
“Don Medici.”
at last. Because humans have no choice but to fear the future rather than reality.
