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

Chapter 26: Journey

"...I, I will do that."

A sudden chill ran up my spine when she said that last line, but I'm sure it was nothing.

I pick up the wooden spoon placed at the side of the tray, and dip it inside the strange-smelling soup. I bring the liquid to my lips and...

*Poof*

Everything was burning.

My lips, my tongue, my mouth, my throat, everything.

The moment the soup entered my mouth, a tasty never-before-seen flavor met my taste buds. By that I mean, a new burning sensation filled my insides.

Pain.

Regret.

And fear.

At this moment, only these three things filled my head.

Pain, which wasn't in any way alleviated by the <<Pain Resistance>> skill.

Regret, at the fact that my <<Intuition>> didn't warn me about this.

Or maybe it had, but I just decided to ignore it.

And finally, fear. Fear of the child named Elle-chan, who can surprisingly tell what certain things are, and can hold a grudge over them with an innocent smile.

Frightening, too frightening.

Oh where hast my skill of <<Fear Resistance>> gone?

It sure isn't here, I can tell you that.

"..Ah, I mixed up salt with the pepper spice, I'm sorry Kyouya-nii.."

"....No, I'm sorry. Please forgive this fool."

At the epitome of this burning hell, I muster up the strength to beg for forgiveness.

"...Hmm? What are you talking about, Kyouya-nii?"

An innocent smile with a tilting head gesture may be cute, but you can't fool my eyes!

You're enjoying this aren't you?

*Flap*

Just then, I heard the wing-beat of feathers at my side.

When I turned to look, I saw the black Raven flapping its wings, and it seemed that he was opening and closing its beak in amusement while looking at me.

Eh?

Wait a minute.

If I think about it, I don't even know to what extent this guy's strength was.

There was a chance that even this guy can use other magic besides that wind blade magic I saw, right? No, I'm sure of it. That's why he's laughing at me right now.

Like he's mocking me.

Other magic...

"....!"

Right at that moment, it all made sense.

".....I.....It was you!"

I use <<Instantaneous Movement>> on my right arm, which was already moving towards the Raven's neck, trying to catch it. But, in the next moment, it disappeared.

"Tch, he's fast."

Even if I was feeling intense pain, and my stomach would probably be ruined later, my anger towards this guy had reached its peak. There can be a limit to being annoying!

I quickly scan the area with my <<Automatic Map View>> and <<Dragon Eyes>> used in rapid succession, until I found that guy hiding in my shadow.
