Became the Academy Mafia Episode 222
“Something… … “It looks like you had a hard time.”
When we got off the truck that stopped with a screeching sound, Ludvio with pitiful eyes greeted us.
“Something happened on the way.”
Is it because of the explosion a little while ago and the rough driving? Smoke was already flowing out of the engine, and an inexplicable squeaking noise was also coming out.
Elena, the owner of the car, just stood there in shock, looking at that scene.
“Aventador!!”
… … Is the car’s name Aventador?
It’s amazing, really.
“I’ll give you a new car, so don’t be too sad.”
“… … yes?”
“Can I buy you a real Aventador?”
“Actually, the car is so old that I was thinking about changing it soon. Well, this is a shit car.”
It was an (old) Aventador that was abandoned in an instant.
Ludvio scratches his head while looking at us like that.
“Still, I’m glad that our relationship seems to be better than yesterday… … “Who is the person next to you?”
He looked at Michaela getting out of the truck one last time and asked with a shocked expression.
I think it’s probably because her outfit openly claims, ‘I’m from the Vatican.’
“He is said to be my escort sent by the Vatican.”
“… … “Your escort?”
“yes. Well, wasn’t it posted as a surveillance station to prevent accidents?”
As I said that and turned my head, I saw him startled and shaking.
She looks at me with eyes that ask me since when did I know?
No, this is so obvious to anyone who sees it, isn’t it too surprising?
“I see. Certainly, with a person of your caliber, it wouldn’t be surprising if you received attention from the Vatican.”
After saying that, he turned his head and smiled, extending his hand towards Michaela.
“This is Ludvio Marco, an old man who makes shoes in this small town. “It is an honor to meet someone who serves God.”
After hearing Ludvio’s name, Michaela slowly raises her small hand and holds his rough hand.
“… … My name is Michaela. “It is an honor to meet the person called Maestro and national treasure of Italy.”
Did he think she wouldn’t recognize him? Ludvio looked slightly surprised by Michaela’s reaction and then said, “Hahaha!” He burst out laughing.
“Are you putting too much gold on your face? Still, it’s an honor that you recognize me.”
“Because the cardinal who supervises me wears the shoes of a maestro. “I am familiar with the Maestro’s abilities and legend.”
When I wondered how I knew, it seemed like an acquaintance of mine had a copy of the Maestro’s work.
“This is embarrassing. Alright then, let’s all go inside. “I haven’t seen the inside yet, so I’m really looking forward to it.”
Led by Ludvio who said that, we all walked towards the workshop together.
An ordinary old building that shows no changes from the outside.
However, when I entered the door that opened with a clicking sound, an interior that was completely different from the outside was revealed.
“Wow… … .”
The interior, which had been illuminated by a few old-fashioned lights, was changed to full LED lights, the floor was made of marble tiles, and the display cases were also stocked with the best products currently available.
“grandfather! “It really feels like a completely different space!”
She enters inside with a very happy expression, as if it were her job, and begins to look around.
“Please take a look at Maestro, too.”
“ah. Well, that’s right.”
He, who had been frozen in a daze, slowly began to walk and look around.
“… … under. “I heard that my bank account balance went down more than I thought, and I think I understand why.”
yesternight. I wondered what was going on when much more money than originally expected disappeared, but it seems that only the ‘highest’ grade items were brought in.
That machine looks brand new, and that, and that… … How much is it all? Did you shop a lot this time?
-Hahahahaha!!
Hey, these are products of such high quality that a maestro would laugh like that.
“Let’s take a look at Sister too. “Isn’t this your first time coming to a workshop like this?”
As I turned my head to look at where Michaela was, I made eye contact with her who was diligently writing something down.
“sister?”
“Oh, yes.”
She hurriedly put away her notebook and immediately did something else.
iced coffee… … Is that like a report written while observing me? I wanted to play around a bit.
“May I ask what you were just writing down?”
When I ask with an interested look on her face, she looks away intently.
“it’s nothing. As a hobby… … Come on, chant! “I wrote the lyrics for a hymn.”
“iced coffee. I see.”
I wonder who on earth would write hymns as a hobby in a place like this, but I decided to skip it for now.
First of all, I know what notebook to write in.
After a while, he came over with an expression of complete satisfaction and grabbed my hand.
“Sometimes I feel like you were sent from God. How can things be resolved so quickly as soon as you arrive? … “Thank you so much!”
He seemed quite satisfied with the items I had prepared.
After all, the saying that craftsmen do not use their tools is a blatant lie.
“I’m glad you like it.”
Well, of course you should be satisfied. If you just look at the money spent here, it’s more than enough to buy a small business.
But it wasn’t a waste at all.

Because I already know.
Properly made equipment has a value that not only companies but even small countries can afford to purchase.
“Please, I hope the Maestro can make very good equipment through these facilities.”
Yes, very good equipment.
──To me.

“Caglione Jr. Where are you going again this time?”
Inside the car captured through Uber.
When you are moving around while silently looking at your phone. Michaela, who had been sitting quietly, spoke first.
“I’m going to work.”
“Are you going alone this time?”
“You are not alone. Because Sister is going with us.”
“That’s true. “I was wondering if you could at least tell me where I’m going.”
Where are you going?
It wasn’t that difficult to guess why she would ask for the destination so restlessly.
There were 8 Uber applications to come here.
I was going to refuse the last one of them, but I managed to get it by offering to pay double the amount.
“I guess you can just think of it as going to meet someone you know.”
“… … “Do you know someone?”
yes. Acquaintance. Since we met each other and talked to each other, wouldn’t we be able to say that we know each other?
At that time, the car we were in slowly stopped in front of a market.
“This is what I promised. “Get down quickly.”
The driver spoke as if he wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
As promised, I gave him twice as much money and got out of the car with Michaela.
Then, in an instant, the car disappeared leaving us behind.
So we were left alone in this area with no one around us.
“Caglione Jr. “Where?”
“An old market that was used in the past. Now, as the commercial district has moved, it is a neighborhood where ordinary merchants do not do business.”
“Then doesn’t that mean there are no stores? But why did you come here?”
“We are not here to visit ‘ordinary merchants.’”
“yes?”
I left behind her expression of not understanding and started walking into the market.
As I passed the empty square and entered the alley, I began to feel the presence of people.
Soon, as stalls and people began to appear, Michaela opened her mouth as if she had finally noticed.
“… … “Black market.”
“yes. “It is the second largest black market in Sicily.”
For reference, the first one is the black market operated by Calyone and is located in a port city called Messina.
“It seems like I’m attracting a lot of attention just by being here, serving God.”
“Oh, that’s it. It can’t be helped. These people are all people who do business while avoiding the eyes of the government. “It’s illegal in the first place.”
In fact, every time we walked, people gave us stinging looks or turned their heads to hide their faces, which showed how much influence the Vatican had even though it was in Sicily.
“Oh, there it is. Meeting place.”
After passing through the shopping district, we arrived at a place that seemed to be no longer in operation, with crumbling walls and broken mosaic windows. And it was an abandoned cathedral surrounded by moss.
“… … “Here.”
“Because the person I decided to meet was Catholic. “It seems like they really enjoy meeting at the cathedral.”
To be precise, the message is to meet at the cathedral to avoid unnecessary bloodshed.
“Isn’t this a truly fitting place for us? sister.”
As we entered the abandoned cathedral, a chapel appeared with more people waiting than usual.
“Caglione Jr. “It’s been a long journey and you’ve had a hard time.”
Meanwhile, the only person sitting stands up and calls my name.
“Don Medici. “It seems like you really like cathedrals.”
“haha! Isn’t that the same for you too? no way… … “I didn’t know you would come with a Sister from the Vatican.”
As expected, someone had been planted at the entrance, and it seemed like they knew I wouldn’t come alone. Even the fact that it was a sister.
And I plan to make the most of this situation.
“By the way, I should introduce you to my colleague. Sister, this is Don Medici. “He is one of the godfathers of Sicily and the Don of the Medici family.”
After hearing what I said, she moved her eyes to Medici.
After a while, she gently lowered her head and opened her mouth.
“He who serves God. “My name is Michaela.”
“And he is the 0th Commander of the Holy Knights of the Holy Vatican Empire.”
“what?”
Medici listened to my story and asked back as if he had misheard.
“It is as you heard. You are the knight commander. now… … Even though you are my escort. “Now, Sister, please go.”
Saying that, I pass by the chapel and sit down next to him.
I roughly expected that they would arrange the surrounding environment and people to create an atmosphere in which I would feel scared, but… … .
‘You would never have guessed it.’
Who would have dared to expect that they would bring in a knight commander from the Vatican Empire as an escort?
If something were to happen here, the Medici side would be at an absolute disadvantage.
No matter how much they are, they cannot carelessly touch a person with a position in the Vatican.
“haha. That sister is the knight commander. “You have severe fever.”
“Then would I commit fraud with the person wearing the cross? Sister must have been there with an honored heart. Please do not disparage me. Don Medici.”
Since she had not revealed herself yet, Medici seemed to assume that it was not the case, but I naturally tied her reputation and the truth so that she had no choice but to admit it.
“… … My title, Commander of the Knights Templar, was given to me by the Holy Father himself. “I don’t think it would be right for you to be suspicious.”
And, as expected, she finally speaks properly, thinking that her honor and that of the Pope are at stake.
This is how I will appear in the eyes of the Medici family present here.
‘Successor of the Caglione family that moves with the Vatican.’
And this is how I will appear to Michaela.
‘Caglione Jr. is planning something with the Medici family.’
──It was a completely advantageous situation for me.
A smile comes out of my mouth.
“Now then, let’s talk as we said. How would you like to go to the confessional?

[Today’s Caglione Junior observation record]
[Confirmed his friendship with Ludvio Marco, who is said to be a national treasure craftsman in Italy. It appears that the workshop has completely changed this time. As expected, as the heir of the Caglione family, he has a lot of money────
I almost got caught. From now on, I will be more careful in writing observation records.
First of all, I plan to start writing lyrics for an alibi.
Somehow, I think I can do well.]
[PS I received a reply from a Franciscan priest asking me to keep the report form. I don’t remember learning anything about report writing, so I’ll start studying from today.]
