Chapter 72

“Hello, little one?”

A sharp right arm was swung at my neck after the sudden explosion.

As my body flies back, I reflexively hit her arm that reaches for my neck and aim [Al Capone’s Tommy] at her face and pull the trigger.

“Your greeting is rough!”

Bang.

As the sound of rain echoes from Tommy, she pushes her body back with both arms covering her face.

“You’re just as rough...!”

She licked her arm that blocked the bullets while looking at me with a sharp look, as if she was in pain.

It was a close-range shooting, but there was no visible wound on her arm.

She was a very tough opponent in the game, so it wasn’t incomprehensible, but I didn’t know I couldn’t hurt her at all.

“What did you pour out? The guns that the guards shot in Niflheim didn’t hurt this much, what the hell did you do?”

I shook the gun in my hand and taunted her as she licked her arm.

Then she frowned.

“...That toy won’t work on me, too bad?”

“I was going to sweep you away by surprise. I’m sure I killed my presence, but how did you know I was there?”

Blanca covered her mouth with her hand and laughed as if it was interesting.

“Are you curious about that? If you answer my question, I’ll tell you.”

“Question?”

Do you want to answer each other’s questions?

That’s interesting.

She smiled brightly and clapped her hands as I nodded my head.

“I didn’t expect you to accept so easily! Okay, then I’ll ask first?”

Blanca smiled brightly as if she was very happy.

“Where do you belong?”

...You’re trying to figure out who I am from the start.

But, thanks to that, I learned an important fact.

“Judging by your question, Rate hasn’t opened her mouth yet.”

“Oh, her? She’s surprisingly stubborn. I hope you’ll answer me a little easier. Huh?”

I glanced at Rate’s figure behind her.

A woman tied to a chair, slumped. The clothes she was wearing were already covered with blood and dust, making it hard to recognize her original appearance.

For now, let me answer.

“I belong to Familia.”

“...Familia? I’ve never heard of it.”

“That’s natural. It’s an organization that hasn’t been around for a month.”

Blanca leaned forward and suddenly closed her eyes as she heard my words.

A moment later, her nose twitched.

“You don’t seem to be lying... Okay, then is it my turn to answer? You asked me how I knew you were outside the door, right?”

She pointed to her nose and said.

“Smell. There was a smell I had never smelled before.”

She smiled slyly and confidently answered.

“...Did you smell the aura?”

“Oh, you have a good sense? That’s right. And I can also tell lies by smell. So, do you want more?”

“That sounds fun!”

As soon as she said that, she raised both arms and a white light cluster began to wrap around her.

It was like she was wearing clothes made of animal skins, arms and legs as it stuck to her body and began to take the shape of white aura clothes.

Soon, the two auras collided and a huge shock covered the building.

A strong wind swept around as I noticed two shapes fluttering above her head and one white object behind her.

It was a triangular white ear and a dog’s tail that reminded me of──

“...That’s why you’re Blanca.”

“Pretty, isn’t it?”

It was literally Blanca (Blanca: shine white).

It was her awakening skill and the technique that made her popular with those who had a lot of money.

It was a complete aura that formed one shape and wrapped around her whole body.

Compared to me, who still had trouble forming a solid shape, her aura manipulation was beyond imagination.

“Oh, and I remembered something.”

She pushed up her arms that blocked my fist and kicked my chest with her foot.

The shock was more than I imagined, and I gasped for breath as the pain crept up and my body flew back.

I hit the wall with my back and endured the pain and didn’t take my eyes off her.

It was a shock that I might have fainted from if it wasn’t for the maestro’s suit [DisPater].

Did she find my appearance funny? Blanca smiled and opened her mouth slowly.

“You smell like him.”

“...Who?”

“Vito Corleone. The bastard who put me in Niflheim.”

She smiled with both arms and one leg down.

“...You’re Corleone son, aren’t you?”

She finally figured it out.

“Yeah, that makes sense. The organization that can put her in Niflheim and tries to dig behind the Villain Alliance, your young age and skill. Everything makes sense if Corleone, that bastard, intervened.”

Now that it’s come to this──

“Vito Corleone son, how much can your father sacrifice for you?”

There was only one way.

“Rate!”

I squeezed out the aura to the end and wrapped my body with aura as I shouted at the top of my voice and covered my head with my arm.

“Huh? What are you doing──”

At the same time, a bright light and a loud noise burst out.

It was a booby trap, flash bangs and explosives that I had located before going up to the second floor.

I protected my body with aura and closed my eyes tightly against the loud noise and light, but I couldn’t help but feel the tearing noise, the light piercing through my eyelids, and the recoil from the explosion.

─────────!!

My body hit the wall and a tremendous heat covered me.

It was a gamble that I couldn’t even try normally but in the end, it was all thanks to the maestro’s masterpiece [DisPater] It went according to plan.

And since I’m like this, I don’t have to see how she is.

“Kuaaa──!! Damn Corleone brat!!”

She clenched her eyes shut and swung her nails shaped by aura as she smashed the building wildly behind me.

I pulled out a flare gun and aimed at the ceiling that collapsed due to the explosion.

The flare that flew out of the flare gun meant one thing.

‘Annihilate.’

It was my last resort.
