“Ugh…”

Amelia groaned while opening her eyes. She immediately felt a massive headache when she tried to get up. She lay back down and stared at an unfamiliar ceiling.

“Where am I?”

She mumbled after much difficulty.

“Hm?”

She turned her head and saw that someone was sleeping beside her.

“?!”

She was immediately alarmed because she couldn’t tell who it was because their head was covered with a blanket.

“Huh? Um…Eh?”

She tried to process the information, but her brain just couldn’t comprehend her situation.

“C-C-Calm down, Elia. It might not be what you think. First, let’s confirm whether you’re naked or not…”

She took a deep breath and lifted the covers and looked at her body.

“…….”

She silently leaned back and looked up at the ceiling.

(I’m as naked as the day I was born!)

Her voice echoed in her head like roaring thunder.

“Ahh~. It’s over. I got drunk a slept with a stranger. I’m no different from Rory. No, it’s worse because I was a virgin.”

She mumbled with lifeless eyes.

“?”

She felt some movement on the opposite side and looked to her left. There saw a different bump under the covers.

“?!”

It was like her brain exploded in that moment and her body shook like she was hit with an attack.

(Forget about being like Rory! I’m a fully certified bitch!)

Her thoughts once again thunder in her head.

“What an unbelievably outrageous way to lose my virginity! I can’t look Rory in the face after this!”

That’s when she felt something rub against her foot. She sat up and saw a pair of legs sticking out of the covers. These feet weren’t her own nor did they belonged to neither of the two persons beside her. That only meant one thing.

“………”

At this point, Amelia’s eyes were already dead. She swung her hand to the side and created a blade out of Anima.

“…..At this point, I can only kill them and kill myself.”

As she was about to carry out the act, the person on her left got up with a groan.

“Ugh….Can you shut up? I have a killer headache.”

“Reina?!”

On her right was the sleepy Reina. She sat up and allowed the covers to fall off her and revealed naked torso.

“What?”

Amelia gestured for her to look down. She did and looked at Amelia in silence.

“……Well, it was bound to happen eventually.”

“Like hell it was!”

“Can you two shut up?!”

At that moment, Fraus who was to her right got up and shouted angrily. She held her head.

“You guys forced me to drink, so the least you could do is let me sleep.”

She complained.

“She’s also naked.”

“Oh, I did good.”

Amelia and Reina said respectively.

“You know, I’m starting to think that you’re not much different from Rory.”

Amelia frowned and said to Reina. She then held her chest and sighed in relief.

“Anyway, this is good. I don’t have to commit murder-suicide now.”

“Huh?”

Both girls were both confused and shocked by her words.

“Hm? Wait….Then who’s at my feet.”

Reina and Fraus also realized that someone was at the end of the bed. As they were about to lift the cover, the final person got up and looked at everyone with a sleepy look.

“Griselda?!”

The girls minus Fraus were shocked to see who it was.

“Good morning.”

Griselda smiled and looked at them.

“Well, this is surprising even for me.”

Reina said.

“Last night was pretty fun, having three beauties for myself.”

Griselda said with a smile.

“Um….did we?”

Amelia asked hesitantly.

“Yeah. You guys were pretty wild too. I guess you were pretty pent up.”

“It’s okay. It’s okay. It doesn’t count.”

Amelia chanted to herself over and over again.

“I don’t remember anything….Tsk.”

Reina clicked her tongue in irritation which made Amelia look at her funny.

(I think I need to keep an eye on this one.)

“Fraus, you don’t seem too shaken up by this.”

“Well, I’m used to it. Madam, loves to play around with pretty women after all.”

“….I see. I’m surrounded by horny women.”

*Knock Knock!*

They heard a knock at the door.

“Oh, that must be Shancai.”

Griselda said.

“Shancai? Does he knows about this?”

“Yeah. He brought you guys here after you passed out at the club. I came in to check on you when you guys were playing around. I couldn’t contain myself so I joined in. Oh, you also throw up on him.”

Griselda said.

“Ahh~!”

Amelia held her face which was burning red and screamed. That’s when the door opened and Shancai walked in.

“If you’re awake at least respond.”

He said ignoring the girls who were hiding their bodies under the covers.

“If you’re done playing around, get dress so that we can talk about some serious business.”

“Come on, I wanted to play around again.”

Griselda complained. Shancai looked at her pleading expression and coldly said-

“Don’t make me roast you.”

After saying that, he left.

“Okay, everyone! Let’s get dress so that we can discuss some stuff!”

Griselda then climbed out of the bed and started searching for her clothes.

“I wonder who’s the boss.”

Reina mumbled to herself.

The girls washed up and got dressed before leaving the room. When they got out they saw Shancai reading a newspaper while leaning on a wall.

“You took too long.”

He handed the paper to Griselda.

“Is there something in it?”

She looked at the title and frowned.

“Silver Bullet declares war on the Black Dogs!”

That was what the title read.

“Silver Bullet are Tony Gambino’s gang right?”

Amelia and Reina looked over Griselda’s shoulder and read the paper. Griselda fold it up and tuck it away.

“Looks like it really isn’t the time to be playing around.”

She mumbled. She then turned and face the girls.

“Fraus was supposed to handle this last night, but you already know what happened.”

She smiled.

“Amelia Rosa, Reina Megal. Let’s talk some business.”

Amelia and Reina immediately put themselves on guard.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“It’s no use. We have video footage of you two calling each other’s names and cursing Devil King Rory.”

Shancai lifted a smartphone playing a video of the girls cursing Rory while shaking the unconscious Fraus.

“……..”

“…….”

The girls didn’t have anything to say.

“Alcohol is a hell of a thing.”

Shancai said with a smile.

“I’m never drinking again.”

Amelia cursed and Reina nodded in agreement.

“Don’t worry. It’s not like we want to blackmail you or anything.”

Griselda said. She suddenly popped up behind the girls and wrapped her arms around their shoulders.

“?!”

The girls were shocked because they couldn’t even see when she moved much less react to it.

“But to think the cute girls I saw accompanying the Devil King in the newspapers would appear in front of me like this.”

She looked at the girls and then pulled them closer to her.

“I think this is fate.”

She said while laughing.

(This woman, I can’t beat her.)

The girls thought to themselves.

“But it would explain why lord Aniket was so terrifying. It was the Devil King all along.”

Fraus had a complicated expression on her face.

“I now know why Aniket sounded so familiar. It was Rory. I haven’t seen him in forever.”

Shancai said.

“Huh? Shancai, you know the Devil King?”

Griselda was surprisingly the one who asked.

“Well, we’ve met a few times, but that was before he became Rory. So he might not remember.”

“What do you mean became Rory?”

Amelia asked. Shancai didn’t answer, which made her frown.

“Wait….Rory became known as Devil King Rory over a century ago….How old are you if you met him before that?”

“Aniket and I are around the same age.”

(Another fossil!)

The girls shouted in their heads.

“Hm? Why do I feel like you’re thinking something really rude?”

“Never.”

The girls quickly replied.

“Anyway, we’re not here to talk about Shancai’s past.”

Griselda butted in.

“I have a proposition for you two.”

“What kind?”

“How would you like to join White Tiger?”

“White Tiger?”

“Byakko is fine too.”

“Griselda, you’re getting ahead of yourself.”

Shancai interrupted. He then went on to explain.

“In this city, there are several forces. Pearl St.Claire’s Pink Spider, Tony Gambino’s Silver Bullet, Lucas Emilio’s Golden Fly, and Cesare Mori’s and Benito Mussolini’s Black Dogs. They make up the Three Dons and this city’s law enforcement.”

He pointed at Griselda.

“There’s another independent force quick on the raise that wants to topple them all and stand at the top.”

“That’s us, White Tiger.”

Griselda added.

“We’ll defeat everyone and rule this city.”
