High-Class Mob 8 8. Reason Of The Original's Death Part 1

Although Mina had yet to fully show her yandereness it is gradually being cultivated. While being hugged by a young girl who seemed to be no older than 12 made Mina creased her brows at Colt.

"Dear, who is this young home wrecker? Do you know who she is?"

"Um, no, no, I do not know who she is, believe me. Young lady, can you get away from me? My lovely future wife is eyeing me at the moment..."

"Hah? Big bro Sparkly what are you talking about? Just because you didn't come to the orphanage for two days you're already forgetting your great benefactor?"

"Benefactor?"

Mina's voice instantly returned to normal upon hearing the word benefactor from the young la.s.s. Colt looked at the young lady, surprised of what she had just said, and wryly smiled.

"O-okay great benefactor, can you please unhand me? I am currently finding it a little hard for me to breathe."

"Ah, sorry about that."

Colt was released from the tight grip of the la.s.s and looked at Mina who carefully approached the young la.s.s, asking "what did you help my husband with? I am intrigued to know.".

"Ehem, well you see, around two years ago he wished to learn how to handle a child and I was the who taught him everything he knows. Hehehe, I was also the one who took care of him when he collapses on the ground, drunk in front of the orphanage, also..."

Colt listened to the words of the la.s.s named Hylda and smiled wryly. These memories are not something he could remember, in fact, when he tried to remember what she's talking about Colt would feel a headache.

'G.o.ddammit, is this a part of the puzzle?' the puzzle he speaks of is not something tangible. The memories of the original, Colt wished to know what that is, yet the only thing he knew is the events mentioned in the book, as for the rest it was blank s.p.a.ces.

Leo knows only the base knowledge of what the only book told him. In his sleep, he managed to inherit most of the knowledge not spoken in the main series but most of them were still vague. But Leo won't complain, after all, even inheriting such little past experience and knowledge of a 19-year lifespan is not something he could take.

'My head might explode if that flooded my mind with that so much information and knowledge.'

Colt looked at Hylda and sighed, she seemed to be attached to the old Colt, thus he found this really intriguing.

He crouched down and looked at Hylda talking to Mina.

"Young Miss Hylda, you seem to know a lot about me."

"Of course, you could say that the two of us are best friends." Hylda then showed him a thumbs up and a wide smile.

"Is that so, I am sorry to say this but since the other day, I have had gaps in my memories as I have hit my head while I was asleep. Young Miss Hylda, do you think it you'll be able to tell me about our connections in a cup of tea?"

"Blegh, why are you talking like that? Just be your normal untamed self around me..."

"And around me as well...oh sorry I didn't mean to cut you off." Mina apologized as Hylda continued her words.

"I'll tell you everything but you have to treat me to cake...you told me you'll bring the cake on your next visit!"

Colt laughed at Hylda placing her small hands on the side of her waist to show her confidence. Colt, no, Leo was no pedophile but he found that rather cute and the thought of getting a daughter flash in his mind.

'Would she have pink hair like Mina?' He thought to himself before shaking his head after realizing what his thoughts had led him to think.

Clearing his head, Colt motioned with his chin for Hylda to follow him. He smiled widely and pointed at the Garden of Serenity, "If you want cake, we'll go there."

"Really? Good going, big bro sparkly."

Hylda threw her hands in the air to celebrate. Running up to the place the Garden of Serenity. She opened the door and immediately froze upon seeing how cla.s.sy the place was. She seemed to have forgotten her position and the types of people who enters the teahouse and couldn't handle the pressure.

"Hey! You rat! You're not supposed to be here!"

"S-sorry."

One of the attendants saw Hylda and was about to take her by her arms and drag her out, when a another hand grabbed the attendant by the wrist.

"Hoo, are you telling that the friend of Young Master of the Edgeworth Family is a rat? Are you also telling me that I am a rat as well?"

"N-no, I wasn't...my apologies, I..."

Colt raised his hands and looked at the shaking attendant and smiled. He threw the attendant away and took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands clean before throwing the said handkerchief away.

He looked around and smiled at the customers enjoying their time..

"Tsk, the mood had been sullied by an idiot, Hylda, let's go somewhere else..."

"...Yes, bro sparkly."

"Argh, don't be so gloomy, it's not worth the time."

Smirking, Colt spoke and then turned his back against the Garden of Serenity; having Hylda exit first, he said one last thing before leaving.

"I may be a wastrel, but remember this, I am still a part of the Edgeworth family. It would be in your best interest to learn who the ruler of this city and fief. Hylda, let's go, we're hitting every place that sells cake and you're going to eat until you're bloated, got it?"

"YAY!"

The two left the teahouse and Mina decided to enter for the last time.

She eyed everyone on the first floor, it didn't matter if they were n.o.bles or wealthy people, she looked at them and said.

"To everyone who spoke badly about my future husband earlier, I only wish to tell you that it would be rather hard for you to find yourselves doing business in the territory of the Vera Family. Well then, have a good day."

Mina left the first floor and everyone became silent until someone broke the silence.

"Pink hair, gentle smile, red eyes, and a beauty that is akin to a fairy...w-was that the sole daughter of Marquis Vera?"

"I-it can't be right?"

Silence prevailed, and a minute later, they left, the news about Edgeworth and Vera family having their children married to each other spread like wildfire.

The name of Colt exploded without him even knowing.

The only thing he knew was that he protected the friend of the original Colt...and that he wants a daughter and a cake.
