EPISODE 42

the moment luca entered with y/n following him from behind, they all stood up.

everyone was in their golden masks, except for y/n. it was a great power move she does during meetings, as she's always the only woman in the meeting room.

"y/n, take my seat."

"i will not sit." y/n spat with venom in her tone.

almost everyone in the room gulped. it's always dangerous when y/n is in a bad mood.

almost, because there was one person mesmerized by the angry mess in front of him.

mysta stroude, the husband of y/n, standing far from the table in his old detective "uniform" and in his old golden fox mask.

"you do not have the right to be pissy, mademoiselle- in fact, you are the reason why we're in this mess right now." one of the elders said.

to identify the elders, the higher-ups, and the detectives: the elders wear a lion eye mask with rubies as the eyes. the higher-ups are the kaneshiro family, wearing a full-face golden cub mask with emeralds as eyes. the detectives on the other hand wear a full mask of different golden animals.

there is a fox, a cat, a rabbit, and a monkey present.

but y/n paid no attention to one of the elders. "yoma. do us a little debrief before i continue."

everyone sat down as shu remained standing. he then started explaining the situation to everyone.

"see? if you weren't such a possessive asshole towards your husband, no crush of a big mafia would've died."

"the elders are present so we can make sure that mademoiselle's plans are the right move or not for the whole kaneshiro family. you are only to judge her judgment that will affect this mafia, not to judge her for what she does in her life." luca huskily said.

"if i hear anything more about the mademoiselle's private life or even a mention of her husband, i will turn this room upside down. are we clear?"

"yes, boss." everyone said.

luca sighed. "you have the floor, mademoiselle."

mysta was in awe as y/n laid out her raw plans to the board. it was brutal, it was fierce, it was bloody, and there was no remorse in y/n's eyes as she told everyone what she had in store for paprico's attack. there wasn't a hint of hesitance in her tone and she kept on going and going and going... like this wasn't the woman mysta have known for his whole life.

no. the only woman standing in the room was different from the one he married. this is not y/n. this is not y/n rias-stroude at all.

this is mademoiselle, the right hand of the infamous kaneshiro mafia.

after relaying her plan and getting the approval of the elders, y/n then proceeded to assign the detectives to their job.

the detectives were tasked to run a live investigation of paprico's whereabouts as well as report to her daily of their movements.

"four?" y/n suddenly blurted out after she realized that there were four detectives in the room. "we usually just have two," she said to luca.

luca shrugged. "the more the better, i suppose."

"after the elders leave, you four will stay. i will give further assignments."

"yes, mademoiselle." the four said. mysta just altered his tone a bit, after all, he's quite pretty good at that.

y/n has assigned the cat and the monkey on a desk operation, while she assigned the rabbit and the fox to infiltrate the huis van paprika.

mysta is in luck. he used to infiltrate and spy on the enemies before while he was under kirsten.
