Chapter 128: Ta te ti to tu

Thanks to the document he had obtained from the Blood Mark boss's office, Adryan knew exactly the areas where each high-level gang in the East Borough operated.

Finding the base of each one would be a matter of time but there was one thing he had to do first before...

"Let's see which of the 5 it will be?" the redhead murmured amused while sitting on the roof of a tower and looking at everything from above.

He was swinging his legs like a little kid on a swing as information from each gang flashed through his mind.

"Mmmm~ Let's see~ Mmmm~"

"I have no interest in attacking the Zmanger gang for now so they will be ruled out."

"Red Moon will be discarded merely by their boss. If the Blood Mark data marked Joseph as the second most dangerous under that boss and he was sequence 6 then Red Moon's boss must be of the same sequence or higher." he murmured as he was buffeted by the stinking East Borough breeze.

The difference in danger between Joseph and the Red Moon leader was clear from the documents.

Not even the name or gender of the leader was known, the only thing that was known was that their nickname was The Doctor.

'If I go exclusively by the nickname and the name of the gang then the leader should be from the Moon pathway...'

'A vampire?' After thinking for a few moments, Adryan could only shake his head.

He had too little information about the leader to be able to come to a conclusion so this gang was also ruled out.

"Only Red Skeleton, Dead Rose, and Dead Shot remain." he murmured to the wind as the breeze gently moved his windbreaker.

'There's a decent amount of information on each boss and the danger level isn't as high as Red Moon so any of the three will do.'

"Now how to choose one~" he said curiously and he heard Flora's annoyed sigh.

"Just pick one, how hard can it be?"

It was bothering her to listen to the redhead speak to the air.

Adryan let out a soft laugh.

"Where's the fun in that? If I have dishes to choose from and they all look equally delicious how can I fairly choose one?"

"Well, take the one you like the most, it's obvious" Flora said confidently.

"..."

Adryan didn't say anything, he just kept quiet letting the wind move his windbreaker.

"I can tell you didn't have a good childhood" Adryan said regretfully as he shook his head in mourning.

"What do you mean by that Princess?!" Flora roared and continued.

"I was surrounded by luxuries and riches, I never lacked anything unlike you who laments in a room in the poorest area of ​​Backlund!"

Adryan ignored the insult and said again regretfully.

"Not only a bad childhood but also a lonely one! Oh, the misfortune! Oh, the pity!" He clutched his chest where his heart was and exclaimed dramatically.

He even raised his hand to his face to add more drama.

"What the fuck are you saying Crazy Shit!" Flora exclaimed furious and humiliated.

"I did have friends growing up!"

"So what did they call you?" he asked mischievously and Flora huffed.

"They called me by my name, isn't it obvious? Are you an idiot?" she said matter-of-factly, as if Adryan had asked her what 2 + 2 was.

"You call me an idiot when your brain doesn't seem to have fully developed. If I'm an idiot then you're a Curly Hair Baboon who has so many extra chromosomes he has to give them away to avoid popping like a balloon! *PLOP*" Adryan said teasingly while making the sound of a balloon popping with his mouth.

Flora felt a vein in her non-existent neck burst from the pressure.

"DAMNED SON OF A THOUSAND BITCH YOU UNHAPPY SHIT BASTARD I SWEAR THAT WHEN I LEAVE HERE I'M GOING TO KILL YOU"

"HAHAHAHA" Adryan in response just started laughing like crazy while holding his stomach.

"How come you don't understand?! The question was so simple!" he said after calming down and Flora growled like an animal.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN"

"A nickname you animal." he said satisfied and Flora's growling stopped.

"What nickname did your good friends give you?"

Flora was quiet for a few seconds before asking in confusion.

"What is a nickname?"

"You're kidding," Adryan replied in a heartbeat.

He refused to believe that Flora was being serious.

"I don't know what a nickname is" Flora said annoyed and Adryan had to bite his tongue to keep from laughing more.

"That's as sad and depressing as it is funny!" he said incredulously and Flora screamed again.

"Fuck you son of a bitch!"

"Okay okay I'll stop now" the redhead said raising his arms as a sign that he had no weapons.

"A nickname is a name given to a person that alludes to their characteristics or personality. It's normal among friends or loved ones."

"It's like when your dad calls you honey or when your mom calls me Master." he explained with a mischievous smirk.

"So is that..." she murmured finally understanding but then she caught the last thing the man had said.

"Leave my mom out of this!"

"Hehe my fault~" he said with a wink.

His mask was on the side of his head showing his face. He was very high so no one could see him.

"Well, what is the nickname your friends gave you?" Adryan asked.

"For example, my family used to call me Little Rocky" he said with a small smile returning to the topic.

"Why would your family nickname you little rock?" Flora asked confused and Adryan chuckled.

"It was a family joke, you wouldn't understand" he said calmly as he looked at the horizon.

Flora did not give importance to this and tried to remember her childhood days from more than 180 years ago.

After being silent for a few seconds she answered.

"My friends used to call me Dancing Worm"

Adryan was a bit surprised by this.

"Actually it's a cute nickname. They called you that because you like to dance or what?"

"They called me that because once I choked on the core of an apple and began to roll on the ground as if I were a worm"

"...." Adryan was lost for words for a few moments, after a few seconds he could only say.

"oh"

This made Flora suddenly embarrassed and tried to change the subject as quickly as possible.

"What does this have to do with picking a gang!"

Adryan noticed what Flora wanted to do but just let it slide as he could understand having a tacky nickname.

His friends from kinder used to call him Timmy Turner after all.

Putting that aside, he let out a soft laugh as he held up a finger.

"It's actually quite simple." a small flame formed on his finger and he began to write on the tile.

"What kind of games did you play with your friends?"

"Hide and seek, who says and we used to play with the pet of one of them" she said while looking at what the redhead is doing with curiosity.

"Hehe, I used to do that with my friends too but we also played a game called Chaser." he said while finishing writing the second line.

"One of us had to be chosen to chase the others and if you were caught then you also became a chaser"

"How is that fair to the others if the pursuer only gets stronger and they become weaker?" Flora asked and Adryan gave a soft laugh.

"Well, the pursuer gives the others a 30-second advantage, allowing them to hide or move away a certain distance because there was a limit in which one could move away. The game ended after 6 minutes and if there was one person left without being caught, the pursuer lost"

"Then the pursuer has the disadvantage!" Flora said in surprise and Adryan nodded with a smile.

"That's why hardly anyone offered to be and we had to choose one"

"To make it as fair as possible we made up a short song" he said finishing writing the third line.

"Since the song started" he put his finger on the first line.

"Until this is over..." his finger flicked between the three lines in a rhythm.

"And when the song ended in you." He said pointing to the second line.

<Red Skeleton>

Adryan smiled and said faintly.

"You were the pursuer~"

"What a curious way of choice" Flora couldn't help but praise the creative way they had created.

Adryan gave a short laugh as he placed his finger back on the first line.

<Dead Shot>

"I already explained how it worked now I'll sing you the song" Adryan said amused.

"Ta..." He touched the first line.

"Te…" he touched the second one.

"Ti..." The third line <Dead Rose>

"To..." he returned to the first line.

"Tu.."

"The..luck..will..be..for..you.." "Chocolate..of..peanuts.."

"It..is..you.."

"Ta..te..ti..to..tu" the song ended and Adryan looked at where his finger had stopped with a smile.

"Dead Shot will be~"
