The Beloved Daughter of the Crime Family, Even After Reincarnation Became the Young Lady of a Gangst

Strategy Meeting!

It was right at that moment. From the entrance on the first floor visible from the open corridor above, Francesca ran inside.

“Huh!? Graziano, you actually got awake at this time by yourself, what a rare sight!”

“………young miss.”

“Oh great timing, looks like breakfast is ready as well! Leonardo, you should come down quickly as well. Once we’re done eating it’s time for a strategy meeting!”

Seeing her speaking in her clear and energetic voice from early morning, Graziano could only exhale deeply.

“C’mon, let’s hurry up and go watchdog. Can’t keep Francesca waiting.”

“I don’t need you to tell me that. Can you stop acting like you can order me around?”

The sharp coldness reeking out Aldini had disappeared as he began to walk again.

“…………”

While still staring at his back, Graziano also began to walk and head towards Francesca.

“Alright then, let us begin the strategy meeting!”

After having finished the breakfast at the villa provided by the Ranieris, Francesca stood up and boldly made that proclamation.

These past few days, she had been mostly having breakfast at the outdoor wood deck under the clear weather morning skies but, today they were in the dining hall. Inside the red carpet laid luxurious dining hall, Leonardo’s solo clapping resounded.

“Thanks for the clap Leonardo! Now then, first let’s start with Ricardo’s info……..”

“umu.”

Sitting opposite to her on the table, Ricardo would always wake up earlier than anyone else. He was already washed and dressed up, looking prim and proper, and always sat with the straightest of backs.

“As you may know, I have asked the members of my family to continue to set up guard at Marquis Savini’s villa and keep an eye out. And similarly since the first day, although I do feel bad for them, the Ranieri guards have also been asked to do the same from the outside as well…….”

“No, that’s  very reassuring. I know that the Serranovas are especially famous for their strong defensive formations and such if I recall.”

In case of protecting someone who’s being targeted by an assassin, the most important thing is to first make sure that the enemy isn’t even allowed to get close to the target in the first place. Especially in this world, where these supernatural abilities known as skills exist.

“There was no one who came into contact with the barrier of our members, nor was anyone seen coming close the villa………It’s a bit concerning that this assassin is staying this relaxed, especially with the big night of the party where the negotiations are to take place is soon approaching.”

“First of all, we need to make sure that no outside party comes in contact with the Marquis.”

“You can leave that to me. As long as it is within the powers of our Serranova family, we’ll provide all the help we can give.”

The members of Ricardo’s family were all serious, straightforward and were diligently investigating everything. While thanking Ricardo once again, Francesca looked towards Graziano who was sitting to her right.

“Graziano. As for the list of the guests invited to Marquis Savini’s party……”

“Oh that, I’m about 90% complete with that list.”

“Eh, already that much!?”

Francesca looked shocked as Graziano showed a slightly cheeky expression.

“Of course I have? If I use the same routes as when I working as the Head’s messenger, I can do this much pretty easily.”

“No, that’s still pretty fast! Most nobles would try their best to hide the fact that they had been invited here after all. Graziano, you really have become capable huh…….”

“hmph, not really. Something like this child’s play for any member of the Calvino family.”

He must be a bit embarrassed to get praised so candidly by Francesca as Graziano was being exceptionally dishonest today. Francesca simply giggled and then looked at the list he provided.

(Among these people written here, there’s a good chance one of them is the character that killed Graziano’s father in the game…….)

It was an enemy’s whose name nor features were shown in the game but, it was a real human being in this world.

“Graziano, can we look into the background of each of these people by asking the members of our family?”

“I have already made the request for that. When I called Simone-san, she said it’ll take a couple of days at least.”

“I see. Thanks!”

While thanking Graziano for his work, Francesca began to ponder.

(…….there’s a high chance nothing good comes out of searching through their backgrounds and history though. After all…….)

She sent a quick glance to her left, where Leonardo was seated.

He was leaning on the table with his chin resting on his hand, and noticing Francesca look at him, he simply smiled. There was a good chance he was also probably thinking the same thing as Francesca.

(The killer could be probably someone that has been brainwashed by the real [mastermind].)

Ricardo’s father Gerard had been deemed guilty for the drugs trafficking incident.

But the reality was a lot more complex, and in truth Gerard had been brainwashed. And the culprit behind it, the [mastermind] was indeed this main scenario’s main villain as well.

“Leonardo…….”

“……..”

Hearing his name called, Leonardo chuckled as he fixed his posture and crossed his legs.

“Today as well, I have nothing to report.”

“——-…….”

Hearing his almost frivolous sounding words, Graziano simply hmphed.

“Against an enemy who’s not even interested in having a duel, I guess I can win without having to put much effort huh. “

“Oi Aldini, can you be a bit more serious about this? This was a decree passed on to both you and Graziano from the king himself. Me and Francesca are just assitance.”

“Ah but, I am trying hard, you know? I have been looking for all sorts of places in the forest where I can have fun and hang out with Francesca, and I’m also making sure to restrain any man that may try and interact with Francesca as well.”

“……..Well, that’s certainly important too.”

“But still, that’s no reason to neglect your duties.”

While the men chatted with each other, Francesca had already sensed Leonardo’s true intentions.
