I Became the Academy Mafia Episode 556
After receiving the call, I headed to the study where my godfather was.
A room with modern designs, a little different from my father’s antique study.
The scenery, which looked like the office of the CEO of a large company, always seemed to represent my godfather’s personality, so it was interesting to compare it to my father’s study.
“Godfather. “This is Eugene.”
─Come in.
As soon as I got my godfather’s permission, I opened the door and went inside, and I saw my godfather sighing deeply while holding his forehead.
“… … “Godfather?”
“okay. You’re here… … .”
When I saw my godfather’s expression, I intuitively realized that something serious had happened.
“Is something wrong?”
Until now, I had seen my godfather whenever something happened, but I had never seen him look so serious.
And every time something like that happened, something major related to Caglione happened.
“… … okay.”
As if my prediction had been correct, the godfather sighed, took out a cigarette, and looked in this direction, exhaling smoke.
Deep dark circles and dull skin. And the cracked lips seemed to be proof of how long the worry had been going on.
The godfather exhaled smoke again with a dry sigh and opened his mouth, roughly extinguishing the tobacco in the ashtray.
“It looks like something troublesome is going to happen.”
“… … “Is it a bother?”
How difficult has it been for your godfather to say it’s annoying?
“What on earth happened?”
I was also very nervous and asked.
OK.
“… … “They say the Vatican is sending someone to our side.”
“yes? “You mean the Vatican?”
A word that pops up out of nowhere. Vatican.
Why does their name suddenly appear here?
And at the same time, I understood why my godfather was like that.
If it’s a conflict between organizations or something happens somewhere, it’s not really a big deal.
We are Callione.
Because if you want to break through, you can make a breakthrough.
However, it was different when it came to matters related to religion and the Vatican.
No matter how Callione we are, our roots are in the Italian mafia.
All of Caglione’s executives were devout Catholics, and even now they maintain a fairly close relationship with the Vatican and express their faith.
As such, when Catholicism is involved, troublesome things inevitably happen.
Because the power of our Callione is not properly conveyed through religion.
“The Vatican, they have been quiet so far, so why are they sending someone to Caglione?”
However, there was a part of what my godfather said that I could not understand at all.
They suddenly? why?
“Hasn’t Magical Rogue recently appeared on the Korean Peninsula and Japan?”
“yes?”
Magical log?
Why does that name suddenly appear?
“You know… … After the Etna volcano incident, didn’t the Catholic Church issue a wanted order for Magical Rogues? And coincidentally, it was recently spotted on the Korean Peninsula and in Japan… … Are you saying they are sending an investigator to investigate this guy?”
Ah, that happened.
Item stolen at the end of Magical Log. ‘Essence of Fire’.
It was currently lying dormant in Caglione’s treasure chest on the grounds that the Magical Rogue had returned it.
This is an item that the Vatican was unable to obtain even though it dispatched troops to obtain it.
However, what I did not understand was this.
“Then you can just ask the Korean Hero Association, so why are you asking us?”
Even though we are Callione, we are ultimately an organization that operates in the shadows.
This means that they do not have formal investigative authority, and even if they provide assistance, it is different from an external organization.
There is nothing wrong with the Vatican, so you can make a request to the country openly.
But why? Do you really need to ask us, Caglione, rather than the Korean Hero Association?
“I didn’t understand that at first either. Why are you asking us to do this when there is a convenient and good way? … So I asked the Vatican, and do you know what the answer was?”
“… … “What did you say?”
“They said they couldn’t formally request help because it was a secret investigation underway inside the Vatican. The only one who can ask for help is our Callione, so I ask you to please get help… … “How can you refuse this?”
A secret investigation… … what? Are you trying to assassinate me?
Anyway, the story takes a strange turn.
The Vatican has already directly asked for help.
Considering the nature of our Caglione organization, there was no way we could refuse this request.
To begin with, isn’t the boss a passionate believer who attends mass every morning?
“You’re an outsider.”
“okay. know. I know! I know for sure that if I take on this job, a lot of annoying things will happen, but for a good reason! “There is no reason to refuse!”
The godfather is clutching his head in pain again.
In the end, this means that the Vatican will not give up its will to enter the Korean Peninsula through our Callione and begin an investigation.
But still, ‘Oh, something annoying has happened.’ I don’t think it’s something that would make your godfather that angry, right?
There seems to be something more hidden.

“Not that… … “What else is there?”
My godfather carefully nods his head in response to my carefully asked question.
“okay. There’s another… … “The person said to be dispatched from the Vatican was no ordinary person.”
“You mean he’s not an ordinary person?”
“They say someone with a record of being a Heretic Questioner is coming. You know, how many of the believers who served as heresy inquisitors were sane? I even tried to find out who was coming, but for some reason it was difficult to find any proper information. Information that we cannot easily find… … Can you guess?”
A person who cannot obtain correct information even with the power of Caglione.
And in the past, he served as an Inquisitor, known as the most bloody position in the Vatican… … .
“… … Just listening to it, I don’t think an ordinary person would come.”
“yes?! That’s why I’m so serious. ha… … The thought is deep, deep… … .”
So, the question that arises here is:
“So, what can I do?”
Why did my godfather call me?
If this is the case, there is nothing strange about talking about it in the presence of your father or at an executive meeting.
But now my godfather only calls me and talks to me.
This clearly means that I have something to do.
As I swallowed my saliva and asked, my godfather stood up and placed both hands on my shoulders.
“Eujin.”
“… … yes. “Godfather.”
The voice becomes quite soft.
“I need you to help escort and guide that person.”
“… … yes?”
What did I just hear?
“Do you mean me?”
“okay.”
“As an escort and guide?”
“okay.”
“I am Caglione’s successor. And, he is also an executive.”
“That’s why I’m asking you a favor. Even though the Inquisitors are said to be mentally ill, aren’t they still high-ranking positions within the Vatican? If we send an ordinary executive, it will be difficult to show that Calyone respects the Vatican, and it is not the right level for me or your father to go.”
“… … So, I’m going.”
“Haven’t you already had a direct encounter with a high-ranking member of the Vatican in Italy? “It is said that the Vatican is looking very favorably on your recent actions, so they must have singled out you for a favor.”
… … wait for a sec.
“You picked me up there?”
“okay.”
“ah.”
So, I thought I could understand why my godfather had put so much effort into it.
So this means.
“It was an offer I couldn’t refuse in the first place.”
Perhaps, this was why the godfather’s expression became so haggard.
I must have been very distressed because he had to make this request directly to me and not to anyone else.
“The Heretic Questioner’s escort and guide. “Is what I heard correct?”
“Yes, the Bokmyeong Bokchang is also great.”
I didn’t really mean to say that, but it seems like my godfather has already decided to leave it to me.
Seeing him push for a decision this far, it looks like he’s already finished talking with his father.
then.
“… … All right. “It’s for the family, so of course I have to step up.”
“As expected, I thought you would understand! “Thank you so much!”
After hearing my answer, my godfather moved his hand, which was still on my shoulder, to my back and hugged me tightly.
“Still, godfather.”
“okay! Eugene!”
“They are sending me, no one else, to the Heretic Questioner, so of course there must be something, right?”
The godfather’s body pauses for a moment.
And then.
“Well, then! Of course, I wouldn’t have prepared a gift for my nephew. “After you successfully complete your mission, I will prepare a proper gift for you!”
I was even able to receive compensation for this incident.
Well, it’s nothing more than a case involving the ‘Heretic Questioner’, so it won’t be profitable if I don’t get some kind of compensation.
“thank you. “Then, when can I start preparing?”
In response to my question, my godfather stepped away from me again and spoke.
“now.”
“yes?”
“You can leave now.”
“No, what is that—─.”
“You said you’d arrive at the airport at 2 a.m., so if you leave now, you’ll get there just in time. “Okay, I’ve made a panel here, so if you stand there holding it, they’ll talk to you first.”
While saying that, the godfather handed over the panel that was leaning next to the desk.
There, welcome guests of the Vatican! (English)] was written in Italian.
“What the hell is this…” … .”
“Keu, keuhm! “I had no choice because I was in a hurry to make it!”
Could it be that I stayed up all night making this?
“anyway! If you leave right now, you’ll be able to arrive in time. Now, quickly! “You can’t be late!”
As soon as I received the mission, I was pushed out of my godfather’s study, almost as if I was being kicked out.
“her… … .”
I couldn’t help but chuckle as I looked at the panel in my hand.
* * *
“In the end, you left.”
A secret meeting room located in the basement of St. Peter’s Basilica, Vatican Empire.
There, the monks currently leading the Vatican were gathering and holding serious meetings.
“I think she can do it well. “Isn’t she a talent close to a miracle in terms of the success rate of her missions?”
The expressions on the faces of those who continued the meeting under the sacred light coming down from the sky were all dark.
“Please, I hope we don’t have at least an accident in Caglione… … .”
“I hope we don’t see blood there.”
“Will Caglione’s successor be able to control that child?”
While everyone continues to have a serious meeting.
“What can we know?”
The man sitting at the head of the conference room stood up and smiled.
“I just have to pray.”
Don’t let anything big happen on this mission, don’t let the kid who left for the Korean Peninsula get into an accident.
“everyone. “Let’s pray.”
They just continued to pray.

[diary]
Today is the first day in my life that I am leaving for a far away country.
The destination is the Korean Peninsula. This is the country where the ‘Magical Rogue’, who is currently under a wanted order from the Vatican, has been seen the most.
A place that has many heroes compared to its small territory, and also has world-famous heroes.
And, it is also the country where my friend lives.
Originally, an ordinary member of Caglione would have moved with me, but for the first time in a long time, I tried to force myself by borrowing the name of the former ‘Inquisitor’ and current ‘Chief of the 0 Knights of the Holy Knights of the Holy Vatican Empire’.
At first, I don’t know if Caglione will accept it at the Vatican meeting. This is a difficult request. However, in the end, when he pushed for it, it was passed at the meeting.
As expected, I don’t know why he keeps saying he’ll do it if I ask.
Ah, I just heard an announcement that we were about to land.
I’m already starting to look forward to meeting my friend in a little while.
What will it be like to meet him after such a long time?
I already have a feeling that a lot of fun things will happen.
I hope you have many happy memories on this trip.
