Texas, are you hurt?! L- let me take care of you.

It's not deep, don't worry.

I'm worrying! Sit down. I'll get the first aid kit...

Sicilians... what's a Sicilian anyway? Is it a kind of Siracusan?

The Sicilian Union is one of the origins of Siracusa's Twelve Families. It was the first city to turn to violence to achieve its goals.

It's where we get the word 'Sicilian' in Siracusan.

But these days... the word has kind of a different meaning... it's pretty rare for a Siracusan to actually call herself a 'Sicilian.'

They're not as strong as they used to be... for a whole bunch of reasons. But if they still call themselves that... well...

Breathe, Texas, breathe. You're wearing yourself out talking that much.

The main point is it's a way for wannabe dangerous mobsters to tell everybody they think they're dangerous mobsters, right?

...yeah.

We can't let them keep ambushing us like this. Our losses are only going to get worse.

We have to hit back, we need a...

Hold up. Just everybody hold the eff up. What excuse do you think I can give to my dumbass alcohol allergic bartender friend to explain what happened to his place?

Um... is there an explanation...?

At least the stool yer sittin' on's in great shape there, boss.

All we got left's one barstool?

Yes... that one barstool.

...Aight. Broken bottles, shot up walls, and tattered velvet got its own unique vibe to it. Yeah. This is my new renovation, redecoratin' the joint!

Noooo way. Nobody's going to buy that.

We prob'ly just gotta pay him back for all the damages, huh? Aaagh. Looks like we're gonna hafta tighten our belts at Penguin Logistics fer a while.

Plus the whole place stinks of alcohol. And I'm all sticky. At least it's disinfecting my wounds.

Don't be stupid, you can't use wine as a disinfectant! Here, I've got some medical alcohol... why is there a straw? N- never mind. Here, Texas, let me apply it...

...I had another idea.

If these punks gotta come at us on Sauin...

Then we gotta send 'em peacefully to the afterlife.

第二关（前）

Boss, Penguin Logistics is on the move.

Of course. I just gave her a few skin deep cuts...

But I'm more worried about Capone.

Y- yeah, we haven't been able to reach him. Tried real hard an hour ago.

Where's the last place you got him? The slums?

Er, yeah.

That's too bad.

What do you mean?

Tell all the crews, we're going with the original plan to get Penguin Logistics...

But I'm thinkin'... unless something goes wrong, we'll get two or three crews dropping off the grid.

What do you mean... boss?

Couldn't be... Capone betrayed the Family?

I get where he's comin' from. All too well.

We grew up together. And dad had us deal with a traitor, with our own two hands. That was my first time takin' a life. Our first time takin' a life.

The Siracusa fiasco changed us. The only difference is he turned weak, and I chose the clear path.

He's gonna sell out the Family. Or I guess he wants to give the Family a new name.

So what should we do about it?

Penguin Logistics is turning out trickier than I thought. And we can't fight a war on too many fronts.

I'm thinkin' we deal with our traitor problem first.

I'm down at the intersection. Nothing special here.

Roger. Proceed as usual.

W- wait! What's the plan here?

Huh? You screwed up something?

No, I just wanna be sure. I really don't know Lungmen at all.

It's Sauin. When midnight rolls around, Lungmen kicks off a huge Carnival. The whole town turns out. That's when we rub out Penguin Logistics. Bada bing!

Now about the boss...

Don't ask too many questions. Just do what you're told. Chop-chop.

...it's what it is.

You ain't gonna kill me, are you?

Of course not. But you gotta take a nap for me like a good boy~

Texas, you copy?

It's the same over here. They all split off into little groups.

But their leader was in the fight himself, which means they've got someone else handing out dispatch orders.

We just have to cut off that head.

Hey~ Texas?

We're in the city center, but boy are there a lot of people out here.

Watch for the enemy. They're moving in small teams.

I know~ We'll make sure our friends on the street keep an eye out... Wait, boss? You want to get up on a float? Erm, wait for me...

Croissant, Bison, do you copy?

So you were talking about that someone else giving dispatch orders, we ran into a little surprise over here.

Bison, get down. Take cover behind that box over there. Don't get yerself seen.

Right. I'll call you back, Texas.

So where do we go from here?

I dunno. Since we cut off the boss... since we cut off Gambino Ricci, we really don't have a choice.

Sigh.

What's to sigh about? Mr. Capone did so much for us here in Lungmen, and what came of it?

Gambino hops on over from Siracusa and makes nothin' but trouble. Not a lick of good's come of him!

If we kept to Mr. Capone's plan from the start, we wouldn't be in this mess.

We've been over this with the Rat King. Why do we gotta kill anybody? This ain't Siracusa!

The boss, I mean the old boss, he's probably just blowin' off steam.

Well he needs to grow up.

(Sounds like trouble in paradise.)

(Sure does. This could be good for us, if we...)

Hey! Who's there?!

Huh? A gunshot?

It's that sniper again! We're exposed!

It's the Penguins! Don't let 'em get away!

...Do forgive me, Young Master. This is what the Master of the House has demanded of me.

But in taking action upon the Young Master, I have placed him in danger...

When this matter is concluded, I believe it may be time to retire to the countryside.

Sigh.

...Sounds like they're in trouble.

Exusiai, once you've marked out the gangsters' route, move to meet up with Croissant.

You got it~

Sora.

Whew... the bad guys are making a lot of moves, but it looks like they're splitting into two teams. Might be a trap...

It is not so complicated. The enemy is suffering from internal strife. This is an opportunity.

Aaaie! You scared me!

...Welcome back.

Why'd you have to hack into our private channel? Couldn't you just send us a normal message?

This was quicker.

Where are you now?

A depressing cafe. I suddenly remembered I was supposed to have today off, so I came out to enjoy the nightlife.
