In A Parallel World With Random Skills, I Reluctantly Become A Mafia Boss?

Chapter 25: Departure

As I was looking at the cute scene with a pleasant expression, the wide grin I had on my face quickly disappeared as if it was a lie. Yes, because 'it' was there.

A large, towering shadow.

Skin as dark as charcoal.

Large, bulging muscles with scars scattered in different places.

And most of all, an expression that said 'I'm going to tear you apart' was ever present on his large, overbearing face with crossed eyebrows and a fierce glare.

Honestly, if I was still a normal university student back in Japan, I would consider 'him' a dangerous guy whom I wouldn't come close to even if I did want to die.

That was how scary he looked, objectively.

That 'dangerous guy' was currently...

"Sorry for the long wait, Kyouya-dono."

Showing an apologetic smile, Lode-san slowly put down the two leather bags he was carrying on both his shoulders, and courteously bowed to me.

The gap was too wide.

*Woosh*

*Woosh*

As I was preoccupied with telling Lode-san there was no need to exaggerate that much, two sounds of cutting air resounded in my ears. Tch, I thought these two troublesome creatures had left me for good back at the house, but it seems I was mistaken.

Settling into both of my shoulders, like they belonged there, were the two birds which I have yet to consider bringing along or not.

I was slightly leaning to the latter choice, but since they were kind of a means of protection for me and Elle-chan, along with Marielle-san during the day, I reluctantly decide to let them come with us during the trip.

Of course, I had no qualms about their power.

Just that, their power might be the end of me one day.

That's why I always had to be conscious around them, so as to not die prematurely.

Naturally, I thought of using <<Contract>> on them, but apparently, the skill needed specific conditions to be fulfilled, if I wanted to make different types of contracts.

In this case, I couldn't even activate the skill since I had insufficient magic power during the daytime. This means that I have to endure until sunset today.

And that's only hoping the other passengers riding with us were far enough to not see me conducting this suspicious magic ritual later.

Leaving only the minimum amount of viligance towards both of my sides, I pat Elle-chan's head without reserve and ask...

"Did you pack up everything you need?"

"Un, Mom is still asleep for now but I'll take care of Kyouya-nii in the meantime."

Surely, whenever I talk to this child, I feel that my soul is being cleansed each time..

I don't know why I feel like this, I just do.

It sounded a bit embarrassing to be taken care of by someone younger than you, but I can't complain when I look at the earnest expression of Elle-chan.

"Sure, I'm counting on you from now on until we reach the city okay? I promise I'll find a way to cure Marielle-san so that you two can see each other again."

"Yes!"

Now then, after talking to Elle-chan, I took Marielle-san, who was unconscious on Lode-san's large back, and transferred her to mine. I can tell, that she was getting lighter.
