Bab 149: 1.97: The Black Bullets
Tedashii returned to Miku's house and explained the situation to her and Gaiyato before calling it a day. Saturday arrived as he was standing outside the house in his guild uniform. Franco arrived 5 minutes later with their car, and off they drove to the next district.
"I don't know why, but I'm kinda nervous," Franco said.
"Huh, of all people, you're the last to say that. I will be the one doing all the talking; you just have to accompany me." Tedashii replied while constantly fixing his shirt under the armor.
"Well yeah…but I haven't been to any of their bases. Aren't you worried if ours is below par with theirs'?"
Tedashii stopped and gave Franco a furious reaction. "SAYS THE GUY WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF OUR BASE!! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO MADE OUR BASE A FREAK SHOW; I MEAN, WHAT GARAGE HAS A BUTTON INSIDE AND OUT?!?!?!"
"OURS and you'll like it! Oh, we're here."
He stopped by in the 4th district, home of the Black Bullets. They walked down a long path that led to a big RV truck.
"…Franco, is this the right place?" Tedashii asked while scratching his head.
"You'd be surprised…"
"HAHAHAHAHA!!! This is the base I should be worried about?! This looks like one rock band traveling with it. Is this really-"
NEW RONINS IDENTIFIED…CAPTAIN AND VICE OF THE ORANGE FORCE…WELCOME…ENTRANCE AUTHORIZED.
WIZZ!!
The door automatically opened, revealing a mansion within the RV. Tedashii wiped his eyes five times before he pinched himself and looked again.
"I told you so; our authority was as good as it gets. Although the higher you were ranked, the more valuable your requests became," Franco said.
"What rank are they?!"
"We are ranked 6th overall."
Aki Ogun appeared above the RV's roof. "It's Good to see you in the flesh, Tedashii of the 10th."
"Aki, good to see you too."
"You two know each other?" Franco asked.
"Yeah, he's in my class. I met him on the first day," Tedashii said.
"Speaking of which, you haven't been at school for some time. Is everything alright?"
Tedashii kept it brief and provided little details. "I just got sick, that's all."
"I hope you're better now. So, what brings you two to the Black Bullets?
"I wanted to see Haruro; I got a question for him."
Aki stared and noticed they were fully dressed in their guild clothes. "Is it something serious?"
Franco nodded his head and gave him their keys. "This is enough to convince you."
…
Aki walked them towards Haruro's office, as all the members were inside. "Oh, Tedashii and Franco? Welcome, guys."
"Wait, this is Tedashii?" Ken-chin Yakuza asked.
"How the hell did a guy like you beat Mercedes?!" Saki exclaimed while glaring at him from head to toe. "Nobody could do it for eighteen years, and you just pop out of nowhere, and suddenly he's dead? That is suspicious to me."
"What?" Tedashii still needed to discover who Mercedes was. "How old are you, kid?!"
A vein bulged on his face when he called him a kid. "WHAT DID YOU CALL ME YOU-"
"Saki, Ken-chin, that's enough. Can you guys please leave me and them alone for a moment?" Haruro demanded.
Yano and Yachiro just kept staring at him out of shock. "T-That's the guy who beat Mercedes?!"
"Oh, my word! You guys are twins?" Tedashii asked. Yano scram and ran out, while Yachiro cleared his throat and agreed.
As they all left, Lincoln prepared some tea and seats for them.
"So, here I am. How may I help you?"
Tedashii kept thinking of ways to construct his words nicely. "Haruro, I need your advice on what makes a good captain."
