That night, Alma and I were dining together at the Pork Ghost (Oak) stick pavilion.
Unexpectedly, the outside gets noisy. Someone screamed.
"Gambino group (family)!?"
The store door can kick open noisely. There were six men who didn't look like ordinary people. At the beginning of it was a blonde unhealthy looking man.
"- Four b-ranks. One A-rank. There are armed men outside the store."
The scout Alma whispers his observations to me. My outlook is the same. There is no Kouga. Are you outside, or haven't you brought him in? Only more reliable combatants appear to have been brought to this occasion.
I don't know more about the B-rank four, but I do know about the A-rank guy in a preliminary investigation. It is a young head of the Gambino group (family), a fighter A-rank function (job), and a Ryu fist (high monk) Lios.
And the blonde unhealthy looking man at the head of it is Albert Gambino, the head of the Gambino group (family).
Albert himself is not a Combat Function (Job), but still remains at the top of the group (Family). I guess walking with a strong child feels sarcastic. It came all the way to our seats, pissed off my shoulders greatly.
"Terrible, Noel Stolen? You look like a woman."
When Albert sits in our seat on his own, he wraps every bottle of wine on the table and distorts his face uncomfortably.
"It's an unsavory drink. Ha, you can't even make money being an Explorer (Explorer) to have to drink this cheap alcohol. Or are you just a clutterfish? Oh, you did. Did a party member betray you and make you unable to perform Explorer's activities? Dear Woe."
They've been looking into me. Albert comes provoking himself well, like a child who has just learned a difficult word.
"You're Albert Gambino, head of the Gambino group (family). Ha, I haven't had much trouble drinking someone else's liquor on my own about uninvited seats. I heard it was a rabid dog, was it a wild dog mistake?
"Hmm, Temeye!?
"Come on, it's not easy to be pretty because you've been stirred back. Wouldn't it be yummy if the head of the great Luciano group (family), the Gambino group (family) (Don), showed such a small vessel in front of such a public? It involves the Luciano family tickets."
Gambino shook his mouth with anger, but contained it from exploding.
"... well, fine. Say whatever you want. I didn't come to talk to you today. I'm sorry, you've held my licked mouth for a long time, haven't you? If you want to take my neck, come see me in person, right? So here we are."
Gambino with a swordswallowing grin. I laugh at that with my nose.
"I can't believe you flew in when I told you to come see me, you're like a lover I just dated. I can't hide waving my tail with joy."
"Don't let the rattlesnap out of it! Come on, get out of here!
"You're not the one making a rattle noise. Look, don't you see? We're eating. If you want them, wait outside until you're done eating. Like a loyal dog."
"Temeye!!!
Gambino, whose toes were cut off, pulled out the knife he had made sneak in his nostalgia.
"It's already a hassle. I'll deal with you here. I'll make a hole so you can drink from anywhere on that beautiful face, so be prepared."
Albert pointing the knife at me. A wild voice blames that.
"Gambino's general, I don't know if that's how long it takes to break out in this shop."
It's the rising giant, the fighter Logan, leader of the Fist King's Guild.
"Huh, what's up?
"I don't know what happened between you and Noel. But stop rambling here. We Explorers have a face, just as you have a face. I can't believe I watched the gang (Yakuza) go wild all I want. I can't believe I watched it in silence, so I'm going to be involved in future work. If that happens, it's your meal."
As Logan said, most of the Explorers (Explorers) in the store stand up and put their hands on the weapon. Albert is confused by the unexpected.
"And, hey, you know who I am!?
"I know. But if it's to protect pride, it doesn't matter who they are."
"Hey, what the heck!? He's always kidding!! Kill you all, you idiots!!!
Frenzied Albert kicks his chair and stands up, giving orders to the kids behind him. Lios, the head of the molecule, stepped forward and whispered to Albert.
"Boss, it's easy for us to get rid of these guys. Given the difference in power, you get a piece in an instant. But how are you going to explain that to your father in the main house?
"... what?
"Even though we are stared at by the main house because of the example medication. Besides, you won't be able to spill your eyes anymore if you fight with the Seekers. Explorers (Seekers) are encouraged by the State. Regardless of who you're dealing with, if you publicly kill so many Explorers (Explorers), the country won't shut up, of course. Definitely, we're done."
"Damn, that's..."
"If you still don't mind, order me again. Parental orders are absolute. We risk our lives to obey the boss."
"Grr, but..."
Albert gives a distressed look to Lios' words.
Even if you're a madman, you're an organization person. It's not like you can do whatever you want. With all that barking, I laughed a lot at the unusual appearance of my temper as soon as they gave me the name of the main house and country.
"Ahahahahahahahaha, that's hilarious, Albert Gambino"
"Hey, what the heck!?
"No matter how badly you dye your hands, you are a vulnerable little citizen. Without a head or a desire as the head of the tissue, the vessels are small. All you can do is break the rules on your own and face the mad dog. The only thing you can do is eat up the legacy of your predecessors, and that's the limit."
"There's this shitty kid. Awwwwwwww!!!
An exasperated Albert grabs my collar. I controlled Alma with my hand, trying to get rid of her, and I grinned so deeply that my mouth was about to rip open.
"What!? What's wrong?
"Better not be too cocky. It'll make your blood spin better."
"Ahhh!? What are you talking about!?
"The wine you drank on your own, it's poisoned."
"... what?
Albert let go of his hand and took a few steps back.
"... haha, I wonder what you're gonna say, you say it's poison? Don't lie to me! I drank your booze! You can't poison your own liquor!
"Sure, it's my booze, but that's why you don't have to keep your mouth shut, right? I kept it so you could drink it."
"You didn't know I was coming to this store!
"I get it. I'm the one who told you to come get your neck, right? If you're looking for a Seeker, start with a tavern reserved for Seekers. Don't you?"
"But you had no certainty that I would drink!
"Of course, it's not absolutely. But you don't have to prove it to get poisoned liquor. From me, you can get ready every day with no risk. Clams if you come and drink. That's all if you don't drink. And the clams came out brilliantly. Did you understand, little boy?
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Albert sticks his finger in his throat and desperately tries to spit out objects in his stomach.
"Waste. I'm getting into blood vessels from my stomach. You're gonna die like this."
"Hih, hi, no, no!! Yikes, no!!! We're going to the doctor!!! You guys can take me to the doctor Yikes!!!
Screaming like a weak maiden, Albert took his child out of the store at first sight. Correction, not all children. Lios stayed in the store.
"That's a lot of talking. I almost believed you. Boulders are magicians."
"Talking? I just told you the truth."
Don't be ridiculous.
Lios sat in a chair and drank a bottle of wine with Albert's mouth all at once, without any hesitation.
"Um, delicious. It tastes simple and gentle."
"Surprised. I thought you said you poisoned him, didn't you? Is it also a suicide wish?
Lios doesn't move into my words and gives me a fat grin.
"You're right about Kouga. He has good eyes with a sitting liver. Han's eyes."
"Huh?"
"You're looking to top the Seeker. There's no way a guy like that would poison someone in front of the public. Assassination if you want to."
Lios words full of certainty. There's probably a mix of instincts there, but you're right, I didn't put poison in it.
"Correct. But why didn't you tell Albert that?
"I don't want to crush a group."
"I see. That's an important reason. So, what do you want from me?
"I'll miss your life. Disband the guys who are holding back outside too. So get out of the Empire. Without you, the boss won't have to cross the line."
"What if I told you I didn't like it?
"Kill. On this occasion"
For a moment, Lios' body illuminated as if it had swelled up like a giant. So intense a struggle. This doesn't look like a hostile attack for everyone in the store.
"Okay. I'm leaving the capital. That's all right, right?
"Oh, good boy. A man like you will grow up wherever you are."
Lios stood up and raised his voice to the other Seekers.
"Sorry to bother you guys! Apologize, but I'll replace all of today's liquor bill! After that, you can have whatever you want!
Lios cleans things up refreshingly and walks away refreshingly.
Is that the young head of the Gambino group? Seems true that my predecessors were the masterpieces. Otherwise, there is no way such a man would remain in the current Gambino group (family).
Most of all, if you think about it in your chest, all you get is sympathy.
"Let's leave the store, too."
"Okay."
When Alma and I take our seats, we get a cold gaze out of our surroundings.
Naturally, the only person who brought such trouble is the Plague God from other Seekers. There was also overlap in the case of Lloyd and Tania being enslaved, and there was also a mixture of clear hostility in the gaze that pierced me.
Well, I'm prepared to be a villain (heel). There's nothing wrong with being disgusted by the elephants. Someone can help me because I'm an honorary student.
Trying to get out of the store, there was a Logan standing near the door.
"Are you really going to leave the Empire City?
"That's the deal. That's as far as my Explorer business goes. Too bad."
Logan laughs with his nose, hoisting one cheek.
"You're such a winner."
I didn't answer anything. I just made a grin on one cheek in the same way, tapping Logan's shoulder lightly with my fist before going outside.

There are no members of the Gambino group (family) outside the Pork Ghost (Oak) stick pavilion. I guess Lios broke it up as promised.
When no one was around, Alma upped her cheeks with excitement.
"Wow. From what to what, I did what Noel said"
"It's still early to impress. The seeds were sown. This is where it comes from."
"I know. Weren't you coming back to Empire City in a week?
"Oh, I plan on doing that. We'll meet in Teito in a week. In the meantime, what about Alma? You lurk in other cities?
"Caged in the mountains, reclaim the battle's reckoning. That Oriental will definitely kill you next time"
Copy that.
That's what Alma said, but I'm not gonna let you two fight anymore. Because if we talk about it, it's a big loss.
"See you in a week"
"Yeah, a week later"
Me and Alma fisted each other and left the spot behind.
Being alone, I whine about my hidden fighting spirit inside while walking down the night lane.
"Gambino group (family), I'll swallow the whole thing."
