Chapter 10 - Wake Up As Mafia Boss (2/2)
”Sir. Aljen and his companion, please come closer. ” The young Don and his servant moved to the table after. She directly gave away the papers to their hands and warmy smiled, ”Please sign these doc.u.ments. You must make sure to fill up all the contents correctly without biased information. The payment of the papers cost of 5 Luzers, but because it was honestly paid by our dearest and my beloved chief, you don't need to worry about the payments.”
The way of their registration was easy but illegal, however. And something troubled his mind a little bit this time.
'Damn, what should I name then?' Hermes murmured.
”I finish to fill out the magical tool, I mean, the application paper, what should I do next, Ma'am?” Justin asked, showing the papers to Miss Ilona.
'Huh? Justin, you're done? But I'm not done yet!' When Justin sensed Hermes stared at him, he thumbed up with a radiant smile. His butler thought the young Don praised for his quick signing up the application paper.
”You must put your sign in the part of Signature over Printed Name then used your thumb by magical ink of truth in this box.” She pointed at the blank pages. Justin conceitedly replied, ”Oooh, that's it, huh. It is easy like I'm killin' such small fries that attackin' us during the night.” With no idea what he meant, Ilona and Chief Zamor exchanged a glance and laughed instead.
Suddenly, the paper lighted up in blue flames and it turned into a small ID card.
”Congratulations, Mr. Justin. Your name is now transmitted and added to the list of this island. I welcome you as part of our beloved tourist. Have a nice stroll and enjoy your vacation full of excitement and high expectation.” Ilona smiled at him making him feel disgusted.
”Aljen, what's taking you so long. Do you have any problems?” Chief Zamor worried about the young Don who hadn't filled up his name on the paper. ”I can lend you a hand and tell you what you need to learn.” He took a peek at his paper but the young Don quickly folded it. ”Aaah, no need. ” He turned his gaze after the chief moved closer once again, but he gently pushed him away further. He replied, ” Y' don't need to worry about me. Just give me some space, sir.”
”Boss,” Justin moved closer, ”If you're afraid of leaking your true identity, I'll take the chance of killin' all of these people.” Hermes, surprised, smiled at him with a cold sweat after his butler whispered it to his ears. Now, his problem added more fuel to his mind. He quickly replied with a calm tone, ”No, please restrain yourself. I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm fine. Just reviewing my paper if I fill up all of it… correctly.”
'What the heck, girl?' He clenched his teeth after hearing it. 'You don't have to tell me that. I know it that's why I'm scared to write my name here. That's why I'm taking too long to fill it up. If I put my name Hermes Archnemesis, it would lead me to my death flag so quick. Everyone in this village hates me so much. Hence, I can't even write it here. And if I write my name in my previous world, can it be acceptable? Crap, what should I do? What should I do? Damn it, Stump G. You're making my life harder than I expected.'
”Oh, whatever. May my luck be with me!” The young Don wrote in the paper his first name, Aljen. He showed it to her and he followed what she said. And after a few minutes, the paper burned in flames and the color became dark purple as it burning rapidly the paper after his thumb marked the last blank part.
Everyone, including the civilians nearby were surprised at what they witnessed. Hermes didn't expect that his card burned in a different color. This was the first time in his knowledge that it colored out too different from the original. There are two reasons behind that he thought about. It could be that it was a fake magical tool given by the chief and the other one, the violet flames could possibly a new kind of bug added in the flow of this world by his nemesis, Stump G. He assumed he was laughing after he learned about his situation. He must be messing him around for his own fun.
”Ms. Ilona, there's somethin' wrong about my card, ” The young Don showed it to her. Ilona, surprised, tilted her head while her index finger covered her mouth with confusion. ”That's strange. This is our first time to see a violet card and the username left blank. What could it be… Umm, we can replace it by repeating the same thing once again if you wish, Mr. Aljen. Don't worry, I have a spare.”
'Crap, no more.' His eyebrows raised and waved his hand with refusal gesture.
”Oh boy, I guess we don't need to let Mr. Aljen replace his ID. The card showed his status as a tourist like his butler too. So, we don't need to repeat the process.” Chief Zamor said, interrupting her offer.
”... Eh? Umm... I guess so. Maybe, it is convenient to do, Chief. But according to our policy…. umm... ” She sighed, ”I can just ask the manager about this after the break. Well then, I know you already hear this but please don't feel bad about it. ” She stretched her arms open wide and smiled, ”Welcome to our Neue Fiona, Mr. Aljen. Hope you enjoy your visit and stay in this village. If you have anything to ask, just ask us and we will surely take care of it as soon as we can.” Ilona lowered her head, and raised her head after. ”Of course, the next time we meet, there's a few exchanges of the equivalent price for our service.”
”Thank you very much, Madam,” The young Don and Justin said in unison. They lowered their heads before they left the place. Ilona lowered her head, thereof, and waved her hands with a warm smile to their departure.
'Woah, that was close... That offer gave me a goosebump. I don't want to do it again. If I redo the process, I don't even know what would be the color of the flames. I'm definitely going to screw in that time.' Hermes smiled with a sigh, while walking behind the chief.
”Don't worry. We can handle ourselves. You may return to your home or visit your companions in their room in the hospital. I mean clinic. Thank you very much for your help this time around. Don't worry, we'll meet again.” Hermes said his regards, while Justin lowered his head for his gratitude. ”We'll visit you, I promise.” They lowered their heads and went in the opposite direction. ”Wait, Mr. Aljen and Mr. Justin!” Chief Zamor stopped them before they got away. ”Here, take this then.” Chief Zamor gave a small platinum emblem. It had a symbol of the white wolf in the middle surrounded by seven claws in a different direction. ”What is this?” The young Don scanned the emblem asked as he inspected the seal. ”That thing will help you to easily get through to any place in this village. The emblem will regard you as a special person and the important people of our household. Well, its another gift of mine. Please accept it as my honorary friends of mine. I won't push myself too far... I just worried somethin' will happen in the future so please use this as your primary weapon if you encounter some trouble.”
”Oooh, that's great.” Hermes smiled and hide the emblem behind his c.h.e.s.t pocket. ”So, does this mean I should be honored to know that I'm now highly regarded as one of the trusted acquaintance of the head of this village, huh. Thanks.”
”Hoho, you should be, Mr. Aljen. Oh if you don't have any place to stay in, just don't be shy to go to our place again. Our house is always open for you lads.” Chief Zamor said as he patted his shoulder. But the young Don replied with a sad tone, ”Sorry, sir, but we planned to return to our place after this.” This words made the chief saddened but kept his face upfront. ”Oh, then, maybe next time. See ya around.”
The chief had left them in the street and the two exchanged a glance. Justin spoke first, ”Boss, should we head out now? ” He picked out the map on his pocket and showed it to his master. ”We should check this place then.”
Hermes looked at the mark he pointed and thought about something strange related to it. ”That mark... that place is not safe according to the chief though. That's district 5, right?” His butler nodded. ”As expected to Don Hermes, you know about the place, huh.”
”Justin, postpone the investigation in that location temporarily. Let's focus first the four districts within this place as I have a bad feeling right now. Reading the atmosphere and how the people acts made me realize that somethin' happening behind our back. Voltaire, a great poet, once said that life is a thickly sown with thorns. I know no other remedy than to pass rapidly over them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes the greater is their power to harm us.” Justin turned his gaze at his master. ”What does it meant, sir?” Hermes sighed, ”It means that they are hiding something that we shouldn't dwell in further. The more we push ourselves onto them will result for us to be troubled in the future. Justin, lend me your hand as we unfold the secrets lies within this territory. I want to find out what's going on in my territory, ”said Hermes, with a terrifying gaze but showing firm and noble aura. His butler, Justin, grinned and put his hand on his c.h.e.s.t. ”Yes, sir. As you wish. I'm happy to oblige.”
