Shadows Of The Twilight (Book-II)

<46>

(3rd person's pov)

*In the Port-Mafia's headquarters*

"It's a Romanee-Conti!" Chuuya proudly said, opening up the luxurious glass bottle cap.

(Romanee-Conti is a high quality expensive wine which was rarely found.)

"So generous!" Kouyou replied, "Isn't this your treasure?"

"Is there a better occasion than today to open this baby up?" Chuuya said with the glass of wine in his hands.

Mori Ougai smiles, "Let's make a toast, then"

"To victory!"

The three of them raised their glasses, drinking the wine. The beautiful sky was shining from the top most floor of the Mafia's headquarters.

Mori Ougai was sitting on his chair and Kouyou beside him on another chair with a coffee table in between them. There lies the expensive and luxurious glass bottle of 'Romanee-Conti' in a pretty big basket. And Chuuya was standing across the two of them near the empty chair.

"This is delicious~" Ougai said.

......

"By the way, Boss!" Chuuya called, "How do we punish Akutagawa?"

"Punish him?" Mori Ougai responds, "He was a crucial element in our success."

"Akutagawa has always been like this~" The boss leaned on the chair, speaking again, "As many times as he has gone rogue, causing mayhem in the process, he has always gotten satisfying results in the end."

"He has a strong nose and as long as he continues to succeed, there will be no punishment!" He said.

....

"Anyway, I wanted to ask you this Kouyou!" The Boss called starring at the lady, "Why didn't you try to escape when you were captured by the Agency?"

"Considering your ability, it would be a piece of cake for you I suppose?" He asked.

"Oh? What about considering 'The Emily Evans' powers who was almost ready to kill me there?" Kouyou replied calmly.

"Hmm?" Mori looks at her owlishly blinking his eyes. Chuuya already had an annoying expression over his face.

"Well, I must say, the tea was also very delicious there~" Kouyou said, "Which, gave me an another reason to stay~"

.....

*flashback*

"Can you recall a single incident where a hostage didn't talk, after we asked the questions~?" Emily glared at Kouyou with her cold eyes as the air around the room felt like freezing. The glasses of the windows were already having small crystals of ice covering it.

Kouyou startled, who was sitting on the infirmary bed of the Agency.

....

"Apologies Sister~ but this won't be so pretty~!" Dazai smiled darkly getting near her bed and cracking his knuckles.

....

"Ability : Golden Demon!"

She mutters with a groan in her voice, as the fearsome golden demon appeared, (similar to Kyouka's 'Demon Snow');

Emily and Dazai didn't flinch at all. They stood there smiling. And after a few seconds, Golden Demon was unable to follow her master's orders. Her movements were immobilised due to the lower temperature and freezing atmosphere.
