Episode 1, A New Beginning(1/4)
"Are you going to drive me away? Do you plan to let Nero inherit the family property?"
"No, Angelo, I think you should know that there are some things, some problems, some things that you don't have yet,
I don’t want you to follow the same path as your father. Likewise, I don’t want you to be like your uncle. I just want you to be yourself,
As for what you want to be, you need to find the answer yourself. I don't want to influence your judgment. This is one of them."
"Second, you are always too reckless in doing things and cannot control your own strength and heart. In this regard, you are not as good as Nero, and this is also something you need to learn. Your uncle is very strong. I am talking about everyone.
In terms of things, you can try to ask him for advice on some things
Moreover, if you want to come back, can I still drive you away? Go ahead, believe me, kid..."
Putting aside the comics that he had read two or three times, Angelo couldn't help but recall what his mother said before leaving, and he fell into deep thought...
"I don't have complete control over my power. That's okay, but saying that I'm not as good as Nero... is a bit biased. Okay, I admit that I'm a little jealous. Maybe my mother is right..."
"Get out of the way, the TV series is about to start!"
Patty put one hand on her hips and pointed at Angelo lying on the sofa with the remote control in the other hand, urging.
After being interrupted from his thoughts, Angelo sighed, then turned to look at Patty in front of him, sat up slowly, and asked dissatisfiedly:
"Aren't you going to school? Have you finished your homework and just watch TV?"
After saying that, he looked Patty up and down and nodded thoughtfully.
Well, she is wearing a Lolita-like pink outfit, with a pair of black buckle bag shoes and white stockings underneath. There is a pink bow on her slightly curly blond hair, which makes her look like a large doll!
"You look like a doll, get out of here!"
Patty retorted loudly, pushed without pushing, and simply sat down next to Angelo...
"Ah? Can you hear what I'm saying? Can you read minds?"
Angelo was stunned for a moment by Patty's words. Then after she sat down, Angelo moved aside and asked in surprise.
"Tch! Mind reading... you accidentally said it just now, but... I will accept the compliment. If you want to chase me~ I'm sorry, I only like those younger than me..."
Glancing at Angelo next to him, Patty said with joy. After speaking, he looked at it carefully and added:
"Well~, of course, if it's you? It's not impossible, I will give you a chance!"
After saying that, he quickly changed to the channel he wanted to watch, and then started watching it with gusto.
Shaking his head and ignoring Patty's joke, Angelo, who had nothing to do, helplessly looked at the video playing on the TV...
"Tch! It's this disgusting soap opera again. I asked you, can you watch some TV for adults? This kind of TV where you can know the end just by watching the beginning, hum!"
Before he finished speaking, Angelo snatched the remote control from Patty's hand, ignored Patty who was making a fuss at the side, and quickly changed the channel.
After cutting several times, he finally switched to a channel that was showing a movie. It showed a flaming skull riding a motorcycle on the road. When he saw this, Angelo quickly praised:
"Wow! Ghost Rider, did you see it? This is what we should be looking at..."
After saying that, he broke away from Patty's arm, then crushed the TV remote control and stared straight at the screen...
"You! You actually broke the remote control, Dante Dante! Just take care of him, isn't he an employee here? Damn it! Dante Dante..."
………
"Hey~, can you two be quiet for a while? Forget it, let me know when lunch is delivered..."
With a helpless sigh, Dante threw the comic on the table and scolded him. After seeing that it was useless, he stood up and put on his shoes, told the two of them not to have lunch, and then went upstairs to rest...
"Damn it, Angelo, it's all your fault. Dante went upstairs. I'll see what you do when guests come later!"
Seeing that Dante didn't care, Patty said angrily, then crossed his arms and turned his head aside...
After a while, seeing Angelo still not paying attention to her as he stared at the screen intently, Patty took a deep breath, then pulled Angelo's arm and asked angrily:
"Alas! Don't you know how to comfort me? It's really hateful. If you apologize to me now, I will definitely forgive you..."
"Don't get in the way, look, here comes the exciting part!"
As he spoke, Angelo couldn't help but clicked his tongue when he saw Cage on TV showing a bitter and resentful expression:
"Stain! The contract of St. Fangansa? Who would have thought that what was shown on TV was actually true..."
After saying that, looking at the old man riding a horse on TV, Angelo couldn't help but think of the evil spirit scroll that was placed on the table when he left the third floor of the basement that day.
It is said that a demon who was good at manipulating spirits and souls appeared around Fortuna. According to church records, he was one of the few people who fought against Sparta and was defeated and then sealed.
Although he later broke free of the seal, unfortunately, he was caught by the waiting contemporary pope and several missionaries. The archbishop sealed it again at the expense of his own soul, which sounds quite ridiculous...
After a while, as the movie ended, it was already noon before I knew it. I don’t know when the takeaway I ordered was put on the table. Maybe it was received by Patty...
"Oh! If I had known you were eating this, I should have asked for three portions!"
Seeing Patty and Angelo each holding a sundae, Dante said in a helpless tone.
After saying that, he sighed again, then opened the pizza box, picked up a corner and ate...
"Speaking of which, why haven't I seen Tracy for half a month? Letty hasn't come either? Dante, Dante, don't eat yet. Is something going on with the two of them?"
While eating and looking around, Patty asked a few questions in confusion.
"They, Tracy is here..."
Just as Angelo was about to reply, Dante coughed suddenly, interrupting Angelo's reply, and then said in a nonchalant tone:
"Ahem! If those two crazy women weren't around at the right time, they would have saved themselves some trouble!"
After saying that, a look of memory flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Ah? Is it because of the devil? But you look like you haven't opened here for a long time. I really can't figure it out..."
After saying something puzzled, Patty finished the strawberry sundae in a few mouthfuls, then walked to the sofa, picked up the crushed remote control on the floor, and sighed with a grimace:
"Angelo! It's all your fault!"
"Hey! Who asked you to grab it? If you don't grab it, can I crush it? Besides..."
Looking up at the angry Patty, Angelo retorted. Before he could finish speaking, the sound of a motorcycle coming from far and near came from outside the office door...
The three of them immediately glanced at the door, and saw Tracy, who had not been heard from for half a month, walking in with a suitcase.
"Hi! Patty, long time no see!"
As soon as she entered the door, Tracy, who took off her sunglasses, first said hello to Patty, then lifted her suitcase directly to the sofa, and finally turned to look at Dante, who had just picked up the comic:
"Don't you want to ask what's in this?"
As he spoke, he walked up to Dante, then stood on the table, picked up a corner of the pizza, put it in his mouth, and asked again:
"Isn't there any news about Letty? I've been there for more than half a month?"
There, it refers to Fuduna, no, more precisely, it is Fuduna under Beja's control.
After "cleaning" the place, and when she was about to leave, Tracy stayed behind, euphemistically saying that she had learned a lot. In fact, Dante and the others knew that she was interested in the row in the basement of Beiya's house.
Books placed on a row of bookshelves.
Although it feels very unkind, even the well-informed Dante couldn't help but be surprised by such books.
Because in his memory, there are probably only two places where the books can be compared with those collected by the Beiya family. The former is a giant tower built by a group of people who admire the power of demons, and the latter is the demon emperor of the demon world who chose to come to the world.
of islands…
Getting back to the topic, looking at Dante who was staring at the comics attentively, Tracy's eyes flashed with an "evil light", then she snatched the comics from Dante's hand and urged:
"I'm talking to you. Is there no news from Letty?"
"Uh? What?"
Dante, who was confused, asked doubtfully, frowned, and then said as if he suddenly understood:
"Ah~ you also know that she has a lot of things to deal with. By the way, what is in the box, the magic book? Can she allow you to bring it back?"
"Um!"
Tracy nodded, then walked to the sofa, opened the suitcase, and took out all the books inside. Then she was stunned for a moment, as if she thought of something, and asked quickly:
"Oh! By the way, have you done what Beiya told you earlier?"
"Things? What did my mother ask him to do? Oh! By the way, I did tell you a few things. Uncle, you won't forget it, right?"
Hearing Tracy's question, Angelo interrupted, and then thought about it, Dante didn't seem to have gone out these days, and couldn't help but shook his head...
"Which one? If it's the matter of sending weapons, I've already asked Morrison. As for that thing, if you're talking about the broken cup, I plan to throw it away..."
Dante was thinking and replying. When he was about to finish, he was interrupted by the impatient Tracy. The latter glanced at Patty and then reminded,
"No! There is one more thing, think about it carefully!"
Looking at Tracy, who kept making eyes at Patty, Dante slapped his head, then took out a pendant from his pocket, greeted Patty, and threw it over.
"Hey! Tears of Alan Lore? Hasn't it disappeared? How could it be..."
Looking at the familiar pendant, Patty took out another one from her clothes and compared the two. Except for the smaller one she was wearing, they were almost identical.
Although the events that happened in my memory were a little blurry, they all left a deep impression, especially the last demon king...
So, are there two of those things?
To be continued...
