~ On the road going to a mansion ~

~ A woman's Point Of View ~

I was driving towards a mansion on top of a hill and beside my seat, there was a birthday present for my son. Then, I felt a little pain on my stomach and wanted to push the 'fuel' paddle to end my life by falling off the hill's road.

Suddenly, a shadow was sitting behind the driver's seat. "Do you really want to die?"

I was startled and almost crushed to the roadside. "W-Who… are… you…?"

"Answer me, Lavina-sama. Do you really want to die?" My eyes started to feel with tears as I nod. "Would you leave your son to face the world alone?"

I finally understand and shook my head. But then, the degree of my pain increased again.

I hold my stomach even tighter and start to cry even louder. "N-No… I-I do not want to… leave my son… alone in this world… Hayato…"

The shadow smiled. "Good." The shadow suddenly appeared beside the window where I was driving. "Stop pressing the paddle!"

"I-I… c-cannot…!" and my stomach hurts even more.

The shadow signed. "I guess I have no choice. Lavina-sama, please close your eyes."

"Wha-" and I fainted.

Before I completely lose consciousness, a voice was saying. "Do not worry… I will not let you die. You are precious to your son, Lavina-sama."

The shadow went in front of the car and stopped it. Then, a ghostly figure carried Lavina from the driver's seat to the back seat. The shadow went into the driver's seat and switched off the car engine.

The shadow wiped his forehead. "That was close," and smiled.

The shadow then puts a blanket over Lavina and uses a little Sun Flames to cure her. Then, the shadow waits for Lavina to wake up on the driver's seat.

~ Lavina's Point Of View ~

A few moments later, I woke up with a blanket over me. I saw that the shadow from before, now obviously a boy with a fedora over his head sitting on the driver's seat. He moved a little and I was startled.

The boy then turned around and looked at me.

~ Normal Point of View ~

The boy looked at Lavina and smiled. "Looks like you are awake. How are you feeling?"

"I am fine. But where am I?" while Lavina tried to get up.

The boy made Lavina lay down again. "Please do not get up, you are still hurt. It is alright, we are still in your car."

Lavina was relieved to hear that. "Oh… then may I know the name of the one who saved me?"

"Oh," and the boy took off his fedora. "Sorry for the late introduction. My name is Molte, I am a somewhat famous freelance hitman in the mafia world."

Lavina started shaking in fear. "Y-You… you are… a… hitman…? D-Do not… tell me…"

Molte wore back his fedora and turned to face the front. "If I were, you will not be sleeping comfortably just now. The mafia world is really cruel, even to kids and women. They will do anything to get what they want no matter what. If I were them, would I not be torturing you by now?"

"I-I… guess. Then why… why are you… helping me…? You should know…?"

Before Lavina finished saying, her stomach starts to hurt again.

Molte turned around to the back and puts his hand above Lavina. He used a little bit of his Sun Flames again to heal Lavina. Lavina's pain became lesser and lesser.

"Rest easy, I promised my Father that I would heal you."

"P-Promised… father… who…?"

"My Father's name was Li, or known as 'The Silent Killer' in the mafia world. I am his secretly adopted son."

Lavina's tears started falling. "L-Li? Where is he? Is he still alive?" while she looked at Molte. Molte's face was blank and did not show anything. "What happened to him?" while covering her face as the tears fall more.

Molte lowered his head. "I am sorry," and he deactivated the Sun Flames. "My Father… was killed by the Gilget Famiglia."

Lavina was startled. "What?"

"I know you are sad. Do not be, I already killed all the men who killed my Father, all of them. For now, let us go to your son's birthday party," and he started the car's engine. "Your son is waiting for you."

Molte looked at Lavina and Lavina nods her head while still crying. Molte looks back in front and starts driving. Seven ghostly figures also appeared behind Lavina.

~ During the journey ~

"Lavina-sama…"

"Yes, what is it?" while Lavina sits up and she was not crying anymore.

"It seems you are alright now."

"Yes, I am fine. Thank you for taking care of me, Molte-san. I am sorry about the mean things I said about you earlier."

Molte smiled a little. "Okay, but you do not need to call me –san, I am after all only eight this year."

"Oh… WHAT?!"

Molte sweat-dropped. "I am really right this year."

"That is great! You can be friends with my son!"

Molte sweat-dropped again and the seven ghostly figures were laughing really loud. Well, almost all of them anyway. Molte glared at them, and the ghostly figures immediately kept quiet.

"Anyways Lavina-sama…?"

"Yes?"

"Should you not tell them about your sickness? You can be cured of it."

"I do not want them to be worried about my sickness. Also, I have been meaning to ask you. What do you mean by you promised your father to heal me?"

"You told Father about your illness before right?" Lavina nods and Molte continued. "My Father has found a cure for your illness. The cure medicine is now with me. I asked Shamal-sensei to help me find it."

"How did you do that? Blackmail him?"

Molte smirked. "Something like that. You will know real soon."

"Okay, I will take up your offer."

As Lavina finished saying, they have arrived at the entrance of the mansion. Molte stopped the car for a while in front of the mansion.

"But why did you save me for just now?"

Molte turned around and smiled brightly. "I do not want to see another child having the same fate as me."

~ Lavina's Point Of View ~

'Kaa~ so… cute…~!' and I went into my dream world again.

~ Normal Point of View ~

Giotto, G., Asari and Knuckle materialized immediately because they were worried for Lavina. G. shakes her and saw that she has no reaction. Molte had already stopped smiling.

"What happened?"

G. turned to Giotto and nods.

Giotto nods back and turned to Molte. "Molte, she fainted."

"Eh? I thought I used only 20% of my smile power?"

"No, you actually used 80% of it, unconsciously… the proof is that Daemon and Alaude have already disappeared."

"Then what about you guys? I know all seven of you have a weakness against my smile."

Giotto shrugged. "We wore sunglasses to cover it."

Molte twitched. "And who gave the sunglasses to all of you?"

"Lampo did, he gave it to us and left quickly. Maybe he had something else to do."

Then suddenly, G., Asari and Knuckle started arguing about some things. Molte was really annoyed by it.

Molte twitched again. "You guys…!" while holding up his fist.

G., Asari and Knuckle quickly hide behind Giotto.

"Calm down…"

"Tch! I do not have time to deal with you guys. You guys just keep quiet and do not do anything else."

Giotto, G., Asari and Knuckle were shaking. "Okay!" and they became invisible again.

Molte signed and drove into the house.
