Chapter 103: Ch141. Black Nest - 5 (Vipers' den)

[OUTSIDE THE NEST]

[MIDDLE OF SHIBUYA]

"THIS IS THE FIRST BLACK NEST TO APPEAR IN FIVE YEARS!" Rodrick shouted, pointing his index finger at Yamamoto's chest. "HOW DARE YOU LET A TEENAGER IN THERE?!"

Yamamoto, the guild master of Karasu no Uta, had a different smile on his face.

It was more of a yellow smile that hid discomfort than a genuine one.

"Rodori-san, I'm sure you value Burei-san as much as his friends." Yamamoto said, pointing to Evellyn, Nikolai, and Robby behind him. "But still, don't you think there's something wrong with the boy that even his friends are less worried than you are?"

Rodrick had a bulging, pulsing vein on his bald head.

But he took a deep breath, and thought for a moment.

"Yeah... You're right. Maybe I'm wrong about Kurt. But... How the hell couldn't you hold him?"

Karasu no Uta's guild master looked down to the ground, smiling faintly.

Unable to retort.
