《Bad Habits {V2 Out now!}》Volume 2 Chapter 20: The First Attack
Advertisement
Takumi’s eyes widened up, the handgun was aimed right in between his eyes. The man clicked his handgun.
“W- Who are you?” Takumi asked.
“Me? How can’t you know that?” The man said, grinning.
“Who calls themselves mafia if they don’t know the real deal?” The man explained.
Takumi’s eyes widened up.
“... The name is Daniele Riccardo, leader of Gli Originali (The Originals).” The man name Daniele said, while four other people walked up behind him.
“And these are my precious members...” Daniele said, grinning.
There were different kind of people, and they were with a total of five people.
“So, who is this guy, actually?” A hooded boy with purple hair said, he looked the youngest.
“Mike, we told you, this is one of the famous mafia in Japan.” Another one with an eyepatch and black hair said.
“Well, he can’t do his own job right...” Another man said, with white hair and scars on his face.
“True… I was expecting better.” A woman said, with black long hair.
Daniele let out a sigh.
“Japanese are all the same...” Daniele said.
“... No matter what you say, they’ll respond with something stupid...” Daniele mumbled.
“... But this one can’t even talk back.” Daniele followed up, grinning.
He suddenly grabbed Takumi by his shirt and pulled Takumi closer to himself.
“Don’t you take any pride for your Soldier?!” Daniele asked.
Takumi slowly grabbed his arm.
“Oh excuse me... ” Takumi said.
“... Talking too much gives me a higher chance of biting my tongue.” Takumi said.
“These teeth a really sharp...” Takumi mumbled.
“Sharp teeth?” Daniele asked.
“Yes...” Takumi mumbled, as he suddenly pulled Daniele to the ground-
“...I’ll show you just how sharp they are!” Takumi shouted biting Daniele on his arm.
Daniele’s eyes widened up as he dropped the handgun out of pain.
The young boy named Mike pulled out his gun, but someone shot his pistol out of his hand.
Mike turned and saw Ukato aiming at him.
“Takumi! Now!” Ukato shouted.
Takumi ran right through the group of people and Ukato followed him.
Mike and the woman stayed with Daniele.
“Shit, we let them escape.” Mike said.
“We haven’t lost them yet, Lorenzo!” Daniele said.
The man with the Eyepatch nodded, as he placed his hand on the man with the scars.
“Let’s go, Nicholas, or else we’ll lose them.” The man named Lorenzo said.
Nicholas grinned.
“Got it.” Nicholas said, as they both ran after them.
Ukato looked at Takumi.
“So, who are those idiots?” Ukato asked.
“I don’t know, they suddenly attacked me...” Takumi replied, as they ran out of the mall.
“But we can use the car to drive back- !”
- Boom! -
The car blew up in front of them. Both their eyes widened up. Takumi turned, as he saw Nicholas threw another grenade. And lorenzo started to shoot at them with a handgun, hitting Takumi on his back. Takumi’s eyes widened up.
“S- Shit, into the alleyway!” Takumi shouted, as they ran through the alleyway.
Nicholas and Lorenzo both followed them, but they were far behind. While Takumi and Ukato both ran, two black vans stopped in front of them. The door slowly opened-

Takumi’s eyes widened up.
“S- Seppuku?!” Takumi said, feared.
The girl from the Seppuku clan, named Kimoto was in the car and had opened the door.
“Get it, or else you will die.” Kimoto said.
Takumi and Ukato looked at each other, but they ended up entering the van.
“T- Takumi, who the hell are those guys?!” Ukato asked.
Takumi looked at Kimoto, and he saw a grin under her face.
“You know something, don’t you?” Takumi asked.
“I do, I will explain it when we are somewhere safe...” Kimoto said.
“Wait… How did you find us in the first place?” Takumi asked, as it suddenly came up on his mind.
“True… The distance is 300 Kilometers, isn’t it?” Ukato asked.
“Well… Let’s say that the last time we met, I threw a GPS-Tracker on your vehicle when you ran out of ammo and hid back down...” Kimoto said.
“... So, where is your hideout?” Kimoto asked.
Takumi let out a sigh, as he showed her the way to their mansion. After a minute or two they arrived in front of the mansion. Takumi and Ukato walked out of the van. Kimoto suddenly noticed the shot wound on Takumi’s back.
“Woah, what is that on your back?” Kimoto asked.
Kimoto wanted to check it out, but Takumi pushed her hand away.
“Nothing to worry about, we already owe you, so...” Takumi said, as he and Ukato walked back inside, with the other members of the Seppuku clan walking in too.
Takumi opened the door for the Seppuku clan members, the others eyes widened up.
“W- What the- ?!” Kuruka mumbled, as he saw the members.
Tado looked at the girl with blue hair, and they made eye-contact.
Tado’s eyes suddenly lightened up as he looked away.
“Good evening, Ishido Clan-” Kimoto said, as her eyes widened up.
She noticed Akane, leader of the Byakuya clan.
“Byakuya, Akane?” Kimoto mumbled.
“?- You...” Akane replied, as she saw her.
“What a coincidence, eh?” Takumi said, as he grabbed a bottle of alcohol and took a sip.
“... Welcome to our mansion, I guess?” Takumi followed up, smiling.
“O- Oi, Takumi, what are they doing here?” Nokado asked.
“Well… Let’s say we got attacked- ”
“Takumi your back!” Tado shouted.
“Y- You’re right, what happened?!” Nokado said.
“Let me explain, jeesh!” Takumi shouted.
The place went silent.
“We got attacked by a group out of another country, and barely escaped with the help of the Seppuku clan.” Takumi said.
“A- A group from another country?!” Kuruka mumbled, in shock.
“Yes… We did some research.” Kimoto said.
“Three gangs have arrived from different countries...” Kimoto followed up.
“The first clan is The Originals, the guys we saw a moment ago...” Kimoto explained.
“... The leader is Daniele Riccardo. His second in hand is Lorenzo Stefano.” Kimoto said.
“That’s the guy with the eyepatch, right?” Ukato asked.
“...True, the third one is Nicholas Christoffer, that’s the one who threw grenades and has scars on his face...” Kimoto continued.
“... And the last two are Michael Pier, also named Mike, and the girl named Silvia ...And they’re all from Italy.” Kimoto finished.
“Can’t we track them down and kill them?” The blue haired girl named Uchiko said.

“Y- Yes, I just wanted to ask that...” Tado followed her statement.
Suddenly the girl with long, red hair named Kanami slapped Uchiko on the head.
“Of course not, idiot!” Kanami said.
“But why?” Uchiko asked, holding her head.
“Just let Kimoto explain, you’ll understand it later on.” Kanami said.
“True, there are two gangs left to explain...” Kimoto said.
“Next on, we have ‘The Allied Gang’...” Kimoto said.
“Their leader is named John Hugo, codename America...”
“The next is William Jacob, codename Canada...”
“The third is Nian Zhen, China. Fourth, Manuel Francisco, Spain. And last James Alfrie, United Kingdom.” Kimoto explained.
“We haven’t seen those gang members yet, but I have pictures of them.” Kimoto said.
Kuruka pulled his hand up.
“We already saw them before… We think.” Kuruka said.
“You guys did?” Kanami said, shocked.
“Yes… I told them.” Akane said, sitting up.
“I found a coordinate leading to their purpose of being here…” Akane said.
“...and those are the ones that caught my team.” Akane mumbled.
“But that isn’t all of them...” Kimoto said.
Everyone turned back to Kimoto.
“...There is one more gang...” Kimoto mumbled.

“Oi! Grey!” Red shouted.
Grey looked up.
“What is it?” Grey asked.
“So, why did we come here again?” Red asked.
Blue started to laugh, and White was smirking.
“Idiot, you came all the way to Japan to say that stupid shit?” Blue said, mocking him.
“How would I know we would end in Japan?” Red replied.
“So… You thought we would go to the place of the Yakuza, and think it’s a vacation?” White said.
Blue started to laugh harder.
“Ooh… My god...” Blue tried to talk without laughing.
“... I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time.” Blue said, smiling.
Red let out a sigh.
“... We’ll see who laughs as lasts when we get back.” He mumbled.
“Eh? Threatening me, kiddo?” Blue replied.
They both reached for their holster, white’s eyes widened up.
Suddenly two gunshots could be heard, with Grey jumping in between of the bullets.
Both bullets hits them, but he didn’t flinch.
“W- Woah, Grey, why did you jump in?” Blue asked.
“Yeah, I was about to immobilize him, not kill.” Red replied.
“Guys… Please.” Grey mumbled.
“We aren’t here for jokes… ” Grey said, looking up.
His eyes were glowing in the dark alleyway, and because of his length he looked like a monster.
“... I hope I won’t have to stand between you guys again.” Grey said.
“Y- Yeah...” Red said, letting out a sigh.
“Now, let’s go back to business.” Grey replied, as he walked off.
Blue and Red followed him, but White was focused on the ground.
Those bullets…
Both of them were going straight…
But now, they are on the ground, and Grey isn’t bleeding…
What… Happened?
- - - - -
“... Those guys.” Kimoto said.
“They came all the way from The Netherlands, a small country next to Germany.” Kimoto explained.
“And they, they are probably our biggest problem of all...” Kimoto mumbled.
“Why is that?” Uchiko asked.
The girl with long black hair named Yuno walked up.
“Because… Those guys have 500 confirmed kills-”
Yuno got interrupted by Rikishi spitting out his drink.
“F- FIVE HUNDRED?!” Rikishi shouted.
“Yes… That’s true, and we don’t know how they look like.” Kimoto said.
“The only thing we know about them is that they go by the codenames, Red, Blue, White and Grey.” Kimoto said.

“So, what are those people even doing here?” Kuruka asked.
“Well, that’s what I asked myself, too. And I found some clues.” Kimoto said.
“Our first thought was they would be after the Yakuza-”
“-Wrong.”
Takumi’s eyes widened up.
Ukato interrupted Kimoto.
“They are after something other, it's called ‘The Ace of Spades’.”
“Oi, Takumi, that’s the gang we were talking about.” Nokado said, as he pulled out the piece of paper.
“Talked about?” Yuno asked.
“Yes, we pursued The Allied Gang, and they had information about them-”
“- S- Show me, quick!” Kimoto said, walking up to him.
She looked at the coordinates, grabbing the piece of paper.
“I- Impossible...” Kimoto mumbled.
The boys could notice this despair-like aura surrounding the girls.
“So? Who are they anyway?” Rikishi asked.
“They are one of the Black Market Leaders.” Kimoto mumbled.
“B- Black market leaders?” Takumi mumbled, as his eyes widened up.
“... Yes… There are only two in Japan, and 48 around the world.” Kimoto explained.
“Listen up… ” Kimoto said, as she sat down.
“... Long ago, there was a man who was even feared by the Yakuza.” Kimoto explained.
“This man’s name is Yanagi… No one knows how this man looks like, the people who have seen them, have never come back.” Kimoto continued.
“The man is almost seen as a god, and his name represents a combination from ‘Yin’ and ‘Yang’, because he brings balance to the Mafia world.” Kimoto explained.
“If this man is so strong, he must have over 100,000 subordinates, right?” Nokado asked.
The blonde girl named Charlotte walked up.
“That’s the problem… Their group were a total of 270,000 men...” Charlotte said.
“... But in one year, they all disappeared.” Charlotte mumbled.
“D- Disappeared?” Kuruka asked.
“Yes, we don’t know what happened, but suddenly the 270,000 men that were his subordinate, either were dead or lost.” Charlotte said.
“But isn’t it weird, no one knows who these subordinates were, right?” Yano asked.
Kimoto nodded.
“That’s true.” Kimoto replied.
“That means one thing...” Ukato mumbled.
“... They killed each other?” Ukato said.
It sounded really weird, but it was the only logical option.
Kimoto’s eyes lightened up, as she was holding a Coordinate-Finder.
“I found the coordinates, it’s a 50 floor skyscraper near a river.” Kimoto said.
Takumi slowly stood up.
“That means… We’re going in there- Gh!- ”
Suddenly Ukato touched Takumi’s shoulder.
“Idiot, you still have a wound on your back.” Ukato said.
“Yeah… You’re right, almost forget, hehe.” Takumi said, trying to laugh it off.
“We’ll quickly bandage this and head to the place.” Ukato said.

However, when he's assigned to room with a strange girl that has magic that even Henry is wary of, Damien realizes things might not be so easy.

It is not a full on litRPG - it's a progression fantasy story with litRPG elements. The story will contain some romance, but it will not be explicit nor will it take over the story. It starts off slow, but will pick up speed quickly around chapter 26. Enjoy! My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror was origonally started as a way to thank my patreons.
