97 Family And Bonds (1/2)
After the official badge ceremony is done. Faust came out being a captain. But the faces of his squad doesn't show any kind of happiness
Faust walks out being pissed. He felt as though he got profited with someone's death ”Stop there Miss Tsumugi!” Faust grabs her wrist and pulls her back, turning her body around hastily without a concern that she is an elder and a woman.
”Miss Tsumugi! I don't like being a captain. What would I even do with this captain post when you are not in the family anymore?” He yells out his frustration stacked up from the room, his eyes are burning with rage and teeth rumbling against each other.
”I cannot provide the equipment you asked for,” Tsumugi whispers in a low voice.
”Equipment?” Fab asks in a surprise, he instantly turns towards Faust. ”You better not humiliated Lady Tsumugi about our finances, Faust! I won't even show you any mercy if you did.” Fab says in a deep voice with his eyes widened, a crest is formed on his forehead, saying that he is serious with his words
”Fab! I was going to tell you all about it but this is not about me or finances. Let me speak to Lady Tsumugi only.” Faust looks towards her.
”I told you we could work something out with the equipment! You didn't have to choose this path.” Faust yells loudly. Tsumugi turns her face away from facing Faust.
”Oi! If anyone saw you, yelling at a noble, you will be hanged.” Thorik comes into the picture with Carlos.
Faist looks at the intruders but he still does not let go of Tsumugi's wrists.
”Thorik! Did you know about this? Why did you not tell me?” Fab asks his old friend Thorik with a regretful face.
”Him? Hehahahe even I didn't know about it until an hour ago. My little nieces informed me about it this morning.
”Ni-Nieces?” Jonathan asks surprisingly.
”Of course! Uzume and Tsumugi are my Nieces! Not related by blood but still, Isn't that why I accepted you all into my group?”
Suddenly he lowers his voice sensing people walking by their path. ”Unlike someone who buys soldiers and talent with money! We do it for family and respect.” Carlos says playfully covering half of his face with the red hand fan smiling towards the old minister and his bodyguard as they cross paths.
”Anyway, you! captain! Come to our house tomorrow to collect the equipment that you want.” Thorik informs Faust. ”Now, until we meet again Lady Tsumugi.” Both him and Carlos leaves on their way.
”That dam Uzume and her sister! They planned this with that lunatic Carlos. She did it so they will have fine first-class equipment to fight in the purge. And also tips from that general Thorik”
”We also need to do that thing to win the wars.” The minister plots with his evil face glowing devilishly, thinking about the sinister things he is about to do with Tsumugi's house.
Faust and the squad, along with Tsumugi comes home while feeling low all along the way.
Firstly, Tsumugi stepped down from the house leader post, Faust yelled at her in a rude way and Fab & Faust's quarrel on their way home. All these things really broke everyone's spirit
”Everyone to the main hall,” Faust announces loudly to the people who are leaving to their rooms on different paths.
