I Became a Mafia in the Academy

Chapter 324

As the school trip approaches, things are getting very busy at the Corleone mansion.

-Where is the hotel the young master is staying at? You idiot! I told you to request cooperation from the Inomiya Group! Did you do it or not?

-I told you to book all potential sniper points in the surrounding buildings and assign personnel there! Short on manpower? Then request support from the Inomiya Group!

The group begins scrambling to organize a school trip that hasn’t even started yet.

They were serious about escorting me, even though there was no intelligence that ‘Silent Sniper’ was targeting me.

“Honestly, aren’t you going overboard?”

I was already equipped with all sorts of items against assassination, and not only Corleone and Inomiya group, but also the Academy had their own countermeasures in place, so I couldn’t help but feel that way.

“No, I actually think it’s insufficient. After all, it’s the young master attending a public event outside.”

~My new study, assigned to me after being selected as a Corleone executive~

Han Seo-joon, who was helping me with my work there, heard the sounds coming from outside and said with a smirk.

“Is that so, even though I’m hiding my identity from the Academy?”

“First of all, the secretary’s office and the information office are moving in all directions to block information about you, but there’s always a what if.”

“…..did you say this was my father’s order?”

“Yes, it was Don’s direct order.”

“Well, I shouldn’t have been able to tell him what to do in the first place.”

Well, if it came from my father’s, I might as well stay put, because I can’t stop a natural disaster.

“Still, I think we’re in luck.”

“Huh?”

Han Seo-joon suddenly said something that didn’t make sense.

“I heard that the department in charge of Miss Jiyun is also in a frenzy right now. Apparently, when she heard that you’re going out of the country again, she’s all pouting and-─”

“Why are you telling me that right now?!”

“Master?”

I stood up and stormed out of the study.

Work? It only needed to be finalized, so Han Seo-joon would take care of it.

Right now, it was urgent to go see Jiyun.

-Hello, Master.

-Ah, hello, Master!

I arrived at Jiyun’s room in a flash, greeting the users who greeted me every time I passed by with a slight lift of the hand or a nod of the head.

“Haa……haa…….”

I straighten my back, checking to make sure my clothes aren’t out of place. Carefully, I knocked on Jiyun’s door, which was covered in colorful baby stickers.

“Jiyun, it’s big brother, may I come into your room?”

I asked in a cautious voice and heard a muffled voice from inside.

I wondered what it meant and slowly tried to deduce its meaning.

-Mrs. says you can come in.

Alessia’s voice came from inside the room.

She was with her after all.

I slowly opened the door and entered, revealing a room that was definitely pinker than the others, with more dolls.

And in the middle of it all, Jiyun’s face was flushed red and she was crying like a baby.

There were drops on her nose from how hard she’d been crying. Alessia was tearing tissues to wipe her tears and snot every now and then.

“You’re too late, master.”

Alessia turned to me while diligently wiping away Jiyun’s tears.

“Uhhh……that’s…….”

“How much must the young lady have wanted to play with the young master to be crying so sorrowfully like this?”

“Woooooo…….”

“It’s okay, miss. It’s him who’s the bad guy.”

Alessia, who still hugs Jiyun and turns her head towards me, frowns and winks.

Is she asking me to apologize quickly?

I cautiously move to Jiyun’s side and lock eyes with her.

“Jiyun?”

“Hmph……!”

Jiyun immediately turns her head and avoids my eyes.

I don’t know what to make of her reaction.

With the recent war and preparations for the school trip, I hadn’t been paying much attention to her.

I hadn’t played with her for almost a month now, instead of once a week.

I could see Alessia’s lips moving intently.

That’s…….

‘Do. You. Want. To. Play. With. Me?’

Now?

At this time of day, I have an appointment today on the DMZ side…….

“Jiyun.”

“Hmph!”

“Do you want to go on a trip with your brother?”

“……Hung?”

Jiyun, who had been turning her head away, finally glanced in my direction.

“Brother knows a really beautiful place. There’s weird foxes and dogs and deer and bats and elks and pigeons and everything, how about it?”

The problem was that more than half of those things were dangerous but she could enjoy them safely.

It’s a place full of Corleone’s elite now.

It’s like Jurassic Park, only in the DMZ.

“My Jiyun loves animals.”

Jiyun’s face cringed at my comment.

“Do you have a cat…… or a fox…… or a deer?”

“Yep. Go with brother and have some fun. How about we take a helicopter ride on the way?”

Jiyun’s eyebrows, which were obviously furrowed, begin to rise.

It means Jiyun’s pouting level is getting better.

“Come on.”

After opening my arms wide in a hug, Jiyun hesitantly walked over to me and hugged me tightly.

“Ikcha!”

That was it.

As I stood up from my seat, still hugging Jiyun, Alessia let out a hearty laugh.

“I’m sure your secretary and bodyguards are going to be freaking out now.”

“I know.”

I’m sorry, but……it’s all for the sake of domestic peace.

* * *

A total of three helicopters arrived in front of the border of the DMZ.

The security team descended first, guarding the perimeter even before we got out.

“Ground clear!”

After confirming the voice from below, I jump down with Jiyun in a princess hug.

“Yay!”

If it were any other child, they would be crying out of fear, but is this the blood of Corleone?

Jiyun thinks of it as a fun game.

I landed safely on the ground with a smirk on my face.

At the same time, the people waiting on either side of me cling to me.

“Master and Miss have landed, let’s move!”

There were two squads of six people in total.

As they moved around the perimeter, centered around me and Jiyun, they looked familiar.

Wait a minute, aren’t those the guys from Jiyun’s fan club or something?

“Ten o’clock overhead. Axe Pigeon spotted!”

─Pook.

-Gurgle……!

“Kill complete!”

An elite unit indeed.

As soon as the dangerous species appeared, they immediately shot at the high-speed flying creature, and used only sword-like throwing weapons so that it wouldn’t be surprised by the sound of gunfire.

──It looks like they’ve gathered only the strongest.

“Pigeon? Where’s the pigeon?”

Hearing the voice of the escort team, Jiyun jerked her head up and looked around.

“Huh? I must be looking in the wrong place. Nothing?”

Playfully covering Jiyun’s eyes with my palm, I smile and glance at the pigeon’s carcass.

The escort nodded and kicked it into the distance.

The pigeon flew away in a large parabolic arc and disappeared into the forest.

Well, Jiyun should grow up seeing only pretty things.

“Let’s get moving.”

I remove the hand covering her eyes and set her down on the ground.

“Shall we walk together?”

“Yes!”

Jiyun slowly walks towards the Spirit Kingdom, admiring the scenery around.

“Big brother, look at these flowers, they’re so pretty!”

“Big brother, cut down the tree!”

Jiyun, who had never been in a forest like this before, looked at everything in wonder and touched it one by one.

Of course, I stopped her from touching the ones I knew were dangerous.

“This place is beautiful!”

As I’m happily snapping photos of Jiyun running around in the grass and laughing, a horned cat is coming toward us from the distance.

It’s a cute little thing, but it’s very ferocious once it gets angry.

I carefully drew my Tokarev, activated the skill, and pulled the trigger.

[Silence: You can fire a total of nine rounds per day without making any sound]

The cat collapsed instantly. I slowly walked over to it and patted its head, then took its small hand in mine.

“Shall we go see the deer now?”

“Shhh!”

The deer were in a forest on the outskirts of the Spirit Kingdom.

They could leave this forest, but they wished to remain in the place where they were born and raised, and I made a small space for them.

This is the place.

“Shinrok Shub?”

“It’s pronounced Shinrok Forest.”

This will be my personal elixir cultivation area, where the public will never be allowed to enter.

“Huh? Brother?!”

Just then, I saw the figure of a boy running toward me from the distance.

Behind him, I could see his family, who hadn’t yet transformed.

“So, how are you?”

“No visitors, plenty of food, it’s great!”

Shinrok is a spirit that makes grass grow wherever it walks.

The place they were in had naturally become an eco-friendly elixir cultivation area.

All we had to do was lend the land, and reap the rewards.

“Yes, you can always tell me if someone bothers you, and don’t forget that you’re part of Corleone’s family.”

“Yes! Hehe, by the way, brother, the kid next to you is…….”

“Ah, say hello, this is my sister Jiyun, Jiyun, this is Dulchan, shouldn’t you say hello?”

Hearing my words, Jiyun gently let go of my hand, clasped her hands together on her belly, and bowed down.

“Hello. I’m Jiyun Han Corleone~”

“Ah, hi!”

The brat blushed at Jiyun’s greeting. I wanted to poke Tokarev and ask him why he was blushing.

“Ah, ah, it’s you!”

And then, as if he’d forgotten about it for a moment, he handed over the item he’d brought.

“I lost my horns during one of my recent growth spurts, and I thought you might need them more than the others, so I saved them for you.”

……Fresh’s horn.

They hadn’t been forcibly removed, but were antlers that had naturally shed as they grew. They were of the highest quality!

“Thank you. I’ll put it to good use.”

“Hehe. By the way, my family asked me to tell you how much they appreciate it.”

“Really?”

I actually looked over to his family’s side, and they were all bowing in this direction.

I bow back, too, looking at the two shinroks who work so hard to maintain the forest for Corleone.

As they say, when people respect each other, things work out.

“We’ll head back to the Spirit Kingdom now. We have business there.”

Technically, I’m just trying to introduce Jiyun to the Darkness Family and show off.

“Ah, you’re busy……Yes, then I’ll see you later, big brother, and that…… lady too!”

“Yeah~ Bye~”

With that, we parted ways.

I held onto Jiyun’s hand tightly again and glanced in his direction.

From now on, when I come to see him, I’ll have to come alone.
