139 133. Talkative Grayfia

I am in my 1st year of graduation and coming week is my midterm exam and the date came out suddenly which caught me off guard.

Damn! I haven't completed a few chapters yet.

So I will be unable to update. I hope you understand the seriousness of the situation.

Thank you for your love and support. Will resume once my exams are over.

"What a drag..."

Izumi let out a puff of smoke and leaned back slightly with his eyes closed.

"You should stop smoking. It's harmful for health."

Grayfia who was driving, gave a reminder.

"Oh, I didn't know that you'd take human's warning to heart." Izumi replied in a sarcastic tone.

Before Grayfia could refute, a transparent hologram screen appeared in front of Izumi.

"It's your uncle."

Izumi swiped his finger and it connected.

It's one of Odin's functions.

"Hey, tell me truthfully who did he actually target to get me?"

Izumi opened his eyes and smiled at Grayfia, who could only grumble.

It's not her fault.

She just thought that the Resourceful thingy was exaggerated to which Izumi refused and said that Kyousuke would understand his meaning.

Both bets while the loser will fulfill one of the winner's wishes.

Putting away his perverted smile, Izumi began to pretend.

"Kyosuke-kun, What are you talking abo-"

"I'm alone now.."

The voice interrupted and asked, "Who was the target?"

"Souta"

*Beep*

He continued to lean back after disconnecting the call.

"What are you going to do with that girl?"

Grayfia questioned, trying to regain the aura belonging to the silver haired queen.

"Who?"

But, will Izumi let that happen?

After so long, he finally tricked her into a bet and obviously, he's going to take full advantage of it.

"You.." She almost crashed the car in a fit of anger.

Knowing he'll not open his stinky mouth, she finally gave up and murmured, "Okay, I promise you.."

"You should."

Izumi nodded as if it was her duty.

Though it's true.

'An Anal night coming...hehe.'

He thought wickedly.

Twitching her lips, Grayfia repeated her previous question.

"Why would I look for someone when I have you all..."

Izumi answered awe-inspiringly.

Although his answer made her feel happy, wait..wait.. that's not the point.

"On top of that, she is also my cousin. Do you want me to become a sinner of society?"

Grayfia rolled her eyes at Izumi.

"You...out of all people are qualified to say this when you soaked your own aunt?"

Cough Cough...

Izumi almost choked by the smoke.

Damn!

It might be because of his memories, he simply discarded the fact that Mana Nakiri was his aunt.

(Just a hint- Their story started when he was living in Nakiri....A shota-con, I guess.)

War of words, he lost.

"It's because she isn't aware of the truth of the world yet, right?"

Grayfia looked at the road and sighed.

"That girl Misaki has given up her further studies, her future and learning to become a full time maid just for you.."

"Your charm.....is too dangerous, Izumi."

Izumi narrowed his eyes at Grayfia since she was too talkative today.

And, why does her last sentence feel so familiar?

Where did he hear it??

(Does it ring any bell?)

"According to your uncle's character, I'm sure he must have told her about your background by now."

Grayfia then stared into Izumi's eyes and said, "She might start to hate you, don't it bother you? Admires turning into haters."

"Hey, do you have some fevers, Fia-chan?" Izumi put his hand on her forehead to check whether everything was alright.

"There's nothing wrong with her... Menstruation?" Izumi muttered cluelessly.

Veins appeared on her forehead, the temperature around the car started to emit a bit of coldness.

"As for your question, I've many many haters around the globe and one more won't make any difference to me."

"I am me and they are them.

Who do they hate? Who do they love?

It's not my problem.

For me only my family matters."

Grayfia quickly turned sideways with an unnoticeable small smile on her face.

He hadn't changed a bit...not at all.

He's the same Izumi Miyamura she knows.

....Her Izumi Miyamura.

.....

She was really afraid that his mindset might change with too much going on around them.

Even though, she and others knew that nothing could affect him, they were still worried.

Women in love will always worry for their beloved, that's how they are.

No matter how strong his women were. In the end, they were the same women who fell in love with him.

Providing him with their full support, becoming his source of motivation, is their duty.

Izumi, of course noticed this too and that's why he cleared it today.

No matter what happens, his mentality, code of conduct, his principles....they're never going to change.

Otherwise he won't be Izumi Miyamura anymore.

Their bonds had become a lot stronger.

They'll be more united than ever.

A figure of a woman was seen standing amidst the multiple bloodied corpses.

"Let the media eat him.... for now."

A menacing grin formed on her face, displaying her white teeth.

"Hurry up!"

She shouted at her subordinates, who were busy removing corpses.

"Shalter-sama, three of them survived."

Just at this, one of her people brought three heavily injured guys to Shalter.

"Oh, look at you clenching your teeth." Shalter gestured to leave her alone with three of them, the man hesitated then left.

He wanted to stay, in case, something happened, but looking at those indifferent eyes, he left.

*Crack*

"Ahhhhhh!"

She stepped on one of the wounded guys' legs.

"Prove your use or die like them!" She went straight to the topic while pointing at the fallen corpses.

Remaining two shivered looking at their fellow comrade rolling in pain, holding his broken leg.

"W-we will do it!" ×2

"Please let us go!" ×2

Without hesitation, they gave in.

People like them with the most fragile sense of belongingness, very afraid of death, almost close to those rich politicians and likes.

From saying they won't hesitate to lay their lives for the people/country to fleeing the moment they encounter danger.

Shalter said with a disdainful expression, "Call that rat and tell him it's done."

Their faces changed, looking at each other in horror.

Because they knew who the rat from her mouth.

Looking at her expression, I'm afraid she'll definitely do it.

They had no choice, gritting their teeth, one of them made a call, enduring pain coming from his arms.

"Hello?"

An annoying voice came from the other end.

"Sir, it's done."

No struggle could be heard from his reply.

Maybe because they had a fluke idea of becoming The Devil's Queen subordinates.

That way, life is set.

This really shows Azami's incompetence.

In fact, if not afraid of his methods, they would never clash with someone like the Devil.

Offending him is tantamount to seeking death.

There's no place to hide from his claws.

"You bastards! Took too long to kill an unguarded kid?! Disappear now! I'll call you when I need you!"

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief after the call ended.

Boss's behaviour, they've gotten used to it.

Before they could open their mouths.

*Bang*Bang*Bang*

Understand, six unbelievable eyes, three bullets pierced their forehead.

"Shalter-sama, you're such a liar." A childish voice sounded.

"Little Diana, remember. Never believe someone who betrays their partners without blinking. If he can do it first, then he could do it a second time too."

Instead of getting angry, Shalter shook her head without looking back, "In criminal business, trust might not be important as interest, betrayal happens. But, a subordinate without trust and belief has no value except death."

"It's better to kill them than let them sell their partners."

"These were Izumi's words when he took over the underground world."

"It's also the reason, Izumi never accepts people blindly."

Shalter put away the gun and walked towards the car, Diana tilted her head before running behind her.

"Wait! I'm confused!"

"Go ask your mother or Aunt!"

_____

"As expected!"

"From the man we choose!"

Leaning on a big stone, she listened to her daughter's explanation.

"So, mother can you tell me clearly?"

The corners of the Queen Hippolyta's mouth rose a little.

"Of course, come here."
