A Mafioso, A Regalia and Arahabaki's bride

The Swindler and the Mafioso

"Fake papers?"

"Check."

"My disguise?"

"Check."

"Your equipment?"

"Check."

"The wine?"

"Check!"

"Great~" Mayumi smirked, slinging her bag over her shoulder. "Time to con a chu-chu-train!"

"It's Chuuya." Paige corrected.

"Same thing!"

"Yes, yes, let's run along now." Paige commented as Mayumi placed him inside her bag with the wine.

"Indeed, we wouldn't want our client to be impatient." Aria sighed, climbing the bookshelf to perch on Mayumi's shoulder.

"I should buy you shoes." Mayumi mused as she went out the door.

"Maybe. I do hate getting my fur dirty when I have to be sepearated from you."

Mayumi scoffed. "Drama queen."

"I still stand by what I said, Chuuya-kun. This source seems pretty fishy." Odasaku says, slinging a shoulder bag on his shoulder.

"Wine is wine, Sakuya! Plus, if it's fake, I'll just show them the power of gravity." Chuuya smirks.

Odasaku sighs exasperatedly and follows his master out the door and into their fancy car.

"But still, you don't suspect any of it?"

Chuuya paused from turning on the engine and went to Odasaku's face. "Are you an idiot, Sakuya?" He whispered. "Of course I do. I'm buying from them so I can verify. Plus, Boss has been hearing of a notorious swindler who conned politicians and businessmen, some of which has been allied with the Port Mafia. He asked me to investigate and I think this person is the one."

Odasaku opened his mouth and closed it, gaping. "Ah." He finally said after a while.

"That's all you're gonna say?!"

Odasaku nodded.

Chuuya sighed in exasperation and finally started the car, driving away from the condominium and to the meeting point.

At the train station, Mayumi boarded the train, clutching Aria in her arms while Paige was situated in her bag, along with the cheap wine wrapped in newspaper.

She took her phone out and checked the time, reading it to be 8:30 am.

"Hm, we only have thirty minutes 'till the meeting time." Paige quietly commented, facing upwards so he could see the time. "We might be late."

"It's fine." Mayumi whispered. "The meeting place is at the next stop. We should be there ten minutes before the meeting time."

"That's kinda cutting it close now, don't cha think?" Aria quietly commented.

"It's ten minutes before the meeting time. If the client arrives first and waits, then it's their fault."

Mayumi looked back at her phone and played games, acknowledging the conversation ot be over.

A tune rang inside the train, signaling that the conductor was about to speak.

"Uhh, pardon us, but the train seems to have encountered some problems. If you are in a hurry, you may use the road beside the tracks to get to the next station. Please be careful in crossing the tracks."
