The Beloved Daughter of the Crime Family, Even After Reincarnation Became the Young Lady of a Gangster Family in an Otome Game!

Chapter 101

Meeting

Francesca closed her eyes and took deep breaths, and just as she opened her eyes back up, it was then.

“!”

With the sound of horses neighing, the carriage Francesca was on came to a halt.

(They’re here.)

Closing the curtains, she felt glad that her act of intentionally showing an opening had worked out as planned. Francesca heightened her concentration, and tried to sense the number of presences around her.

(……..Yeah, this is just like the game.)

While confirming that, she talked to the carriage driver with her normal voice.

“Um, Driver-san! Is something wrong?”

“My apologies, milady. Perhaps because some wolves showed up nearby, the horses have become really scared and just refuse to move.”

“oh dear, I feel bad for the poor horses in that case.”

Her ears were stuck to the door of the carriage as she spoke, and made sure she didn’t miss a single sound of what all was happening outside.

Francesca pulled out the gun she had hidden under the hem of her skirt, and then exhaled.

“It’ll take some time to pacify them unfortunately. If you’d like milady, why not go outside and enjoy the fresh air for a while, while you wait? It just so happens that there’s a hill with a nice view nearby as well.”

“My, that sounds wonderful. I’d love to see that………is what I’d like to say but…….”

She sensed that some other person standing outside had just put their hand on the door of the carriage from the other side.

Francesca pulled back from the door, lifted her leg and aimed the heel of her boot, and then kicked the door with all her might.

“Gah…..!?”

“Unfortunately, I’ve been taught very well since I was child…”

The door that had been burst open with force slammed into the person standing outside. A man with a large physique held down on his nose, and took several steps back before collapsing on the ground.

Francesca jumped out of the carriage, and fluttered the hem of her skirt as she took aim with her gun.

There were three more men remaining, and she looked at the carriage rider who was also among them and calmly spoke.

“—–Always doubt the driver first if the carriage isn’t moving as planned, you see?”

“Shit, this damn chick!!”

The driver of the carriage raised the whip he was wielding overhead.

(In the original game, today, Graziano and the protagonist who were still unable to get along, were headed to the Ranieri villa. But the real carriage from the Ranieris had been intercepted by these men, and had been unable to come to pick me up as planned.)

Francesca stooped over, and dodged the swing of the whip by leaning down close to the ground. She then quickly dashed straight at the driver and smacked him in the abdomen with the gun in her hand, making him groan in pain as he crumbled to the ground.

“Wha……….!? Even without using any skills? What’s going on!?”

Francesca had faced kidnapping attempts to the point of being sick of them even in her past life alone where these skills and such didn’t even exist. To ready herself for similar things in this world as well, she had done extra special training to hone her body to the limit.

The men tried to fall back a bit but that didn’t go too well for them either. After all, behind them, the ground of the forest suddenly ended, as if it had been gouged out.

(He called it a ‘hill’ but no matter how you see it, that’s a proper cliff if anything. If everyone find out that I came here even though I knew I’d be ambushed, they’d be really worried for me huh……..)

Apologizing to them inside her mind, Francesca readied herself again. 2 men still remained, and they were now angrily glaring at Francesca.

“Oi, hurry up and catch her already!”

“You expect me to carelessly get close to her?! That brat has a gun, can’t you see!?”

“That has to be just a decoration, like hell could some spoilt girl have the courage to pull a trigger! It’s just an empty threat……. )

Francesca aimed her gun, and then fired it at one of the men. With a BANG! The gunshot echoed as one of the men fell to the ground.

“This bitch…….!!”

“Don’t worry, it’s not a real bullet. But depending on where I hit, even a fake one will hurt. A lot. As you can see, it’s enough to knock someone out.”

Even when using the specially made resin bullets, she knew they could do more than enough damage. It’s still strong enough to break a bone or two.

“Hah. Even without an escort, I guess you can fight eh missy? I guess the reason you came out on your own was because your friends would have actually been a hindrance for you eh?”

(That’s not true………but, in the game……….)

Inside Francesca’s head, the scene from the game’s story played. The protagonist hugged Graziano tightly as she screamed out loud.

[Graziano-san!!………Graziano-san, please, get a hold of yourself……!!]

[………oh shush it………can you stop crying so much? It makes me feel even worse……..]

[B-but……..you protected me, and got this injury…….!!]

In the still image illustrated for the game was Graziano, greatly shedding blood from the wound in his abdomen.
