Sisters De Milo

I slept like a baby that night. I am glad that Rosabela offered us a free night at the inn. A comfortable bed is much more comfortable than hard ground. The rooms were upstairs so I went downstairs to see where the others are. They sat at the table waiting for breakfast.

Today, according to the plan, we should look for the de Milo mafia. We inquired a lot and looked for a way to get back to our dimension. One night while we were spending the night in the woods we came across an old woman who explained to us about an old temple that could take us home. Temple of the Demon, that's what it's called. But when we asked her how to get there she just said that de Milos can help us.

"Do you know how to get there?" Usagi asked her.

"I know, but it's a long and dangerous journey, and I'm old. And I may be old, but I'm not ready to die yet. "She said jokingly.

"So what do we do then?" April asked anxiously.

"I know someone who could take you there." The old woman said after some thought.

"Who?"

"Mafia de Milo." She said mysteriously and a little scared.

"What?"

"How?"

"Eh?"

She looked at us in surprise.

"Haven't you heard of the de Milo sisters?"

"Ma'am, can you just explain, please."

"Ralph, be polite." I warned him.

"De Milo... has a lot of nicknames, none of them are pleasant. They call them the Four Assassins, the Demon Sisters, the Four Deaths, oh there's more. They are often called the Four Sisters, but are best known as de Milo. Those are four sisters. They are criminals, and they are the most famous, richest and most cruel criminals the world has ever heard of. People pay them to do some dirty work for them. If you could find them and make a deal with them, they could help you. "

"Well, we're going to look for those famous killer sisters today." Ralph said as I sat down.

"Do you think they will help?" April asked.

"Of course it will."

"And how are you so sure, Mikey?" Donnie asked.

"So why not?"

"Didn't you listen to that woman? They are dangerous criminals. "

"Well? That's still no reason not to help us. "He was adamant.

"Just forget it."

When we finished eating we picked ourselves up and left the inn. Yesterday we arranged with a coachman to take us to the de Milos' estate. We met with him at the agreed place.

"Are you sure you want me to take you?" He asked politely.

We all answered in the affirmative. After fifteen minutes we left town. To the left and right were huge fields of wheat.

"All these fields belong to the de Milo family. If not a problem, can I ask you why you need them? "

"They may be our only chance to get home." April explained to the coachman.

The ride took almost an hour. At one point we saw a huge house, it looked like a castle.

"Wow!"
