I Become a Mafia in the Academy

Chapter 43:

You want to go to the downtown area with Jiyun?

I nodded and answered once again as my father asked me with a surprised look on his face.

Yes. I already promised Jiyun.

I said and waited for the next thing he would say.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, what a coincidence, hahahaha!

My father suddenly burst into laughter.

Dad?

Hahahaha! Im sorry. I was quite surprised. Do you know what I was going to ask you to do?

Im not sure.

My father opens his mouth with a sheepish grin.

Actually, when you were measured yesterday I asked the maestro to make Jiyuns something as well. Thats why I wanted you to go with her.

What? This.

If it were up to me, Id like to go with you, but I have a busy schedule in Busan today.

Its.

Thats great, thats great, thats great, hahahahaha!

Is solved like this?

Even if you hadnt asked, I would have gone, because Jiyun is my sister.

At my fathers inevitable words, I immediately bowed my head and replied as if it was a matter of course.

I wonder if he was pleased to see me bow my head and answer politely.

My father smiled and nodded.

Yes, I thought it would be good for you to take this opportunity to spend more time with Jiyun as well. To be honest, you havent played with her much since you hit puberty, and while she seems to like the new you, she still seems to feel distantfrom you.

I feel my fathers thick hand on my shoulder.

I cant believe youre the one to bring it up. Family is supposed to love and cherish each other. I couldnt be more proud of you as a father.

His expression was sincere as he said this.

By the way, the family will have their own bodyguard team.

At least he wasnt planning on sending me away alone.

I breathe a sigh of relief and feel his hand on my shoulder.

Youre the closest thing to her, so Im sure youll be able to protect her.

Of course father.

Of course, I would have protected Jiyun to the best of my ability even if he hadnt asked.

Now that Id gotten permission to go out, it was time for the next step.

In that case, dad, do you mind if I take Jiyun to see the downtown area while on the way to get her measurements?

Um, the downtown area?

Dad tilts his head as if he hadnt thought of us walking around the downtown area.

The downtown area is a bit dangerous, isnt it?

Ill submit our route and places to stop to the head of the security team in writing, and of course, from the moment we step outside, Ill never leave her side.

And, most importantly, this.

Its just my opinion, but I think my erratic behavior during my adolescence was most likely due to my lack of freedom. Of course, Im fine now, buthaving walked the path that Jiyun will walk, I can only hope that she will grow up feeling freer.

There was another concern that Jiyun might take on the personality of the original owner of this body, Eugene Han Corleone.

What do you know about being watched from a young age, living in a cage, and the pressure to live up to the expectations of a father whos supposed to be one of the most powerful men in the world?

This was the most memorable in-game line from a guy who was a villain in the game.

I think its probably the line that best summarizes how Eugene Han Corleone started to go off the rails.

If thats really what caused him to become corrupted, it was pure worry that it might have a similarly bad effect on Jiyun.

And thankfully, he seemed to respect my opinion.

Okay, Ill leave her in your hands, not anyone elses.

Thank you.

Of course, my father must be worried, too.

With the eldest son and daughter of a globally active mafia family going out together, rather than the sons and daughters of an ordinary family, there was a high probability that those who would normally be hostile to or hold a grudge against the Corleone would make a move.

Still, I can say this with confidence because I know that there is no one on this street at this time of night who could threaten me, or the bodyguard team.

[Don. Im afraid youll have to leave soon]

The voice of a gang member from outside the door.

Checking the time, he smiles wryly and stands up.

I see its that time already, so Ill get up first. Be careful out there.

Yes dad.

With that, he pats me on the shoulder a couple of times and leaves the study.

After returning to my room, I took a few minutes to create a simple plan and delivered it to the head of the security team via the maid.

It shouldnt be too much of a problem to get Jiyun outside.

As Im getting dressed to go out, I hear cheerful footsteps outside in the hallway, and I cant help but smile.

Hey, big brother, are you ready?

Jiyuns voice comes from the door with a knock.

Yes, come in.

Yes!

Jiyun opens the door and smiles brightly as she enters.

Her hair is neatly tied back in a ponytail and a petite red ribbon dangles from where her hair is tied.

You look good. Shall we go out now?

Yes!

Taking Jiyuns small hand, we walked slowly until we reached the front door where a car was waiting for us.

Apparently, due to the size of the house and the level of security, we had to drive out to the downtown area where Maestros tailor shop was located.

Of course, members of the organization were already there to ensure Jiyuns safety along the way and at each of the shops.

Most of the gang members were in high spirits, as Jiyun was going out with everyone in Corleone.

[Master and Miss, were leaving]

I hear the voices of the gang members in the in-ears I received while submitting the plan to the head of the security team.

Honestly, I didnt think it was necessary, but I guess its a fate that cant be helped compared to Michael Jackson renting an entire grocery store for shopping.

Picnic~ Picnic~ Picnic~ Picnic with my brother~

I glanced over to see Jiyun stomping her feet in anticipation.

Its been a while since shes been out, so shes excited.

Due to the nature of the Corleone family, young Jiyun was not allowed to go out on her own, so these occasional outings were a precious experience.

Eugene alone has completed all of his basic education at home with a tutor, so thats saying something.

Heung heung heung heung heung heung heung heung heung.

The only good thing is that I was able to enter the academy and naturally leave the family.

My father figured that as a student at the academy, I wouldnt be in too much danger on my own.

I had proven myself as a hitman through the Heir Proof Test, but even now, if I tried to leave suddenly, I would be followed by an entourage.

I understand, but.but its a bit overprotective.

Perhaps when Jiyun reaches the right age and gains the right amount of strength, shell be able to go out on her own.

Wow!

The car carrying us passes through a long line of forest trails and roads, and finally enters a downtown area with several shops and buildings lined up.

Wow, there are so many people!

Jiyun chirps, smiling brightly at the sight of people.

We will stop soon. Jiyun, do you want to get out?

Yes!

After arriving at the starting point we had talked about beforehand, we stopped the car and I got out first, opening Jiyuns door for her.

Shall we go get dressed first? Papa told me to make you some pretty clothes.

Clothes? Yay!

Jiyun jumped into my arms and hugged me tightly.

I heard something in my ear like, Shes so cute! but I tried to ignore it and didnt say anything, just picked her up and slowly lowered her to the ground.

If you run around too much, you might get hurt, so you should hold your brothers hand and follow me slowly?

Yes~!

I grabbed Jiyuns hand and slowly walked towards the clothing store.

Jiyun couldnt take her eyes off the people passing by and the colorful storefronts.

To her, it all seemed peaceful and beautiful, butunexpectedly, it was not at all like that.

[Hey, Pedestrian Joe. Stop walking so straight and start walking like youre a real pedestrian!]

[Excuse me. Master and Miss are passing by.]

[Smoker in the ladys path. Shall I kill him?]

[Cut him off with a knife, then drag him elsewhere]

[Check.]

[Six oclock, black hood spotted]

[Six oclock? Black hood? Hey, you crazy motherfucker, dont you recognize your team leader?!]

[This is the team leader. Dont you realize hes listening to this channel?! Its not going to be nice!]

[Hmph!]

[Sorry!]

[Sorry, Master!]

I thought there would be about three groups of bodyguards, butfor some reason, the entire bodyguard team was involved.

To be honest, I thought my father was overreacting, too.

[Sir, Im picking up a suspicious transmission at four oclock EDT. Im detecting mana. Scans indicate hes carrying a firearm.]

[Bring him in]

[! Captured, well take him to the mobile camp]

Uncle Aiko caught a lot of people in broad daylight!

At the same time, a merchant passes by, dragging a limp man from the side.

After all, theres a reason for this. I thought to myself.

[Hey, that guys dragging his feet!]

[Yeah, he must be sleepy.]

[So hes going to sleep?]

[Yes, hes going to sleep.]

So, where are we going to buy clothes?

Jiyun asks, lifting her head to look at me.

Leaning down to be eye level with Jiyun so that my throat wouldnt hurt, I stroked her hair and said.

Where the good grandpa is.

A good grandpa?

Yes. We have to walk a little further, so tell me if your legs hurt?

Jiyun has strong legs!

Good, then. But tell me if your legs hurt, and Ill carry you.

ouch~ ouch~ Jiyoons legs hurt ouch~! ouch~

When I said that I would pick her up if her legs hurt, Jiyun suddenly bent her knees and made an awkward sound.

I felt like I was going to burst out laughing because it was so cute.

[Ill carry her!!!]

[The young ladys legs!! Young lady!!!]

[Me, Ill carry her!!!]

[Tie them up!!!]

The desperation in the bodyguards voice in my earpiece made me laugh.

What the hell are they doing?

Jiyun is dying~

I looked back at Jiyun, who was still looking at me, and I couldnt help but laugh.

Here. Let me help you up.

Wow!

She said that her legs hurt, but she jumped up and down on my back.

Hehe.

Even though I couldnt see her face because it was pressed against my back, I could tell that she was laughing heartily.

I just picked you up, but you like it that much?

I love it!

Jiyun replied enthusiastically, rubbing her cheek against my back.

Thats because big brother hasnt picked Jiyun up since I was three!

I mean, she remembers when she was three?

And when Jiyun was three years old, it wasabout four years ago?

Thats when Eugene Han Corleone became a villain. He had a lot of middle school illnesses and was definitely entering puberty.

Ill pick you up often from now on.

Really? Heeheehee. I love you!

Jiyun hugged me tightly, looking very happy despite the fact that it was just a small promise to pick her up often.

Seeing that shes happy with such a small expression of affection, Im sure I can give her as much as she wants

Meanwhile, there was another ruckus going on in the in-ear.

[Team Leaderso touching].

[This is the first time Ive seen Master like this in a while!]

[The master who was so kind is back!]

[All of you quiet! Quit making a fuss]

What the hell are they doing?
