Chapter 57

After all this trouble, Kurokawa Kaoru's sleepiness completely faded. Looking at the boy standing next to Reborn, smiling at him and Reborn as they argued, Kurokawa Kaoru scratched his head in annoyance and said with a sour face, "Let me test the results. Be prepared that I won't be so gentle."

He'd still have so many concerns when dealing with Tsuna, but wouldn't it be different with Yamamoto? Reaffirming Sawada Tsunayoshi's importance to Kurokawa Kaoru, Reborn's expression shifted slightly as he watched him resignedly put on his clothes, temporarily suppressing his doubts.

"Then I'll trouble you."

Shigure Soganryu is a deadly sword technique. When combined with the Shigure Kintoki obtained from Yamamoto Takeshi's father, it will unleash unimaginable strength.

If it had been Yamamoto Tsuyoshi himself, Kurokawa Kaoru would have found it somewhat difficult. However, the person before him was Yamamoto Takeshi, who had only learned the Shigure Sogan-ryu style from his father for a few days. From his expression, it was clear that Yamamoto Takeshi viewed the battle for the ring more as a game than a true mafia factional feud.

If you want to become the tenth guardian of Vongola, this kind of mentality will never work.

Thinking of this, Kurokawa Kaoru lowered his eyes and lowered his voice.

"Since Reborn asked me to do so, I have to do something serious."

"Haha... So Kurokawa wasn't serious this whole time?"

Yamamoto Takeshi and his companions usually saw Kurokawa Kaoru dressed as a woman, so seeing her in men's clothing was a rare sight, and inevitably a bit of a novelty. He held the Shigure Kintoki in his hand, but since he wasn't using any Shigure Sōgan-ryū techniques, it was currently just a bamboo sword.

Having trained with Sawada Tsunayoshi before, Yamamoto Takeshi instinctively assumed this would be the same, and he relaxed. Almost immediately after this thought, the young man, still deep in thought, suddenly lunged at him. Before Yamamoto could even react, he was already being strangled by the other man.

"The shape of the sword has changed, which shows that you are sensitive enough to the killing intent."

Taking two steps back, Yamamoto Takeshi saw Shigure Kintoki's form. Seeing his smile fade, he looked at him seriously. Kurokawa Kaoru raised his eyebrows, took a step forward, and adjusted his stance.

"Do you understand now? You are about to face experienced mafia. A half-baked mentality will not protect your leader and other family members."

"I understand everything you said."

To Kurokawa Kaoru's surprise, after hearing his speech, Yamamoto Takeshi did not show any frustration, but instead felt even better.

"Last time, when I saw him snatch the fake ring from Bajir's hand, I knew that with my strength, I might not be able to defeat him."

He was just a junior high school student, while the other party was a battle-hardened mafia gangster. It was easy to imagine how huge the disparity in strength was between them.

That being said, he knew, but it was his decision. As early as when Sawada Tsunayoshi earnestly persuaded him that this wasn't a mafia game, Yamamoto Takeshi knew the seriousness of the situation. Furthermore, after what happened at Kuroyoru Junior High School, Yamamoto Takeshi understood what the word "family" truly meant.

"Tsuna chose to make me a member of his family. He has made a lot of efforts to protect everyone. As his guardian, I can't just sit there and do nothing and be protected by him."

“…”

"Nice look."

Facing Yamamoto Takeshi's resolute gaze, Kurokawa Kaoru smiled, his eyes now filled with admiration. "Hasn't he already mastered the Shigure Sogan Flow? Only after seeing it with your own eyes can you know the specific details of his mastery."

Does this mean that you plan to train with him seriously?

Hearing the hidden meaning of Kurokawa Kaoru, Yamamoto Takeshi's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the Shigure Kintoki in his hand and rushed forward.

While Kurokawa Kaoru was training with Yamamoto Takeshi, Miya You, who was doing morning exercises in the hotel training room, met several strange men.

Perhaps because he had met those people around Mrs. Kurokawa before, Gong You blinked the first time he saw them and asked in confusion, "Are you looking for Kurokawa?"

“…I didn’t find the wrong one.”

The leading man breathed a sigh of relief, and the next second, he collapsed to the ground in a mess like a dehydrated fish.

"I was so scared. I had to walk all this way and talk to so many people. I almost thought I was going to die."

"Don't die! You have the best relationship with the young master among all of us. If the young master knew that we were looking for his friend, he would definitely be angry."

"So it's okay for me to get angry with the young master?"

Several people wearing gloves were arguing over whether Kurokawa Kaoru would be angry. Gong You, who had listened to their conversation from the side, twitched his lips and said, hesitantly, "Kurokawa is not the type to get angry over something as petty as this."

This is what Gong You thought and of course said.

However, after he finished speaking, the other party looked at him as if he were a monster. Gong You's scalp tingled when their gazes met, and he subconsciously took two steps back: "Did I say something wrong?"

“…”

In fact, it is completely wrong.

It's true that Kurokawa Kaoru has a good temper, but that's just on the surface. If he encounters anything unhappy, he won't speak to anyone for the next week except the Kurokawa couple and Uncle X. This sentence may seem insignificant, but for technicians like them, not being able to discuss information technology issues with their young master for a whole week, and not being able to ask Kurokawa Kaoru about anything they don't understand, is like asking them to die.

Hearing Gong You say that he had a good temper, they looked at each other in confusion. After a while, the man who spoke first took two steps forward and asked hesitantly, "I didn't introduce myself just now. We are the backbone of the Kurokawa family's technical department. We heard that the young master came to Namimori Town, so we wanted to come over and take a look."

He just said he came to see Kurokawa, right?

After confirming the identities of these people, Gong You breathed a sigh of relief. His morning exercise was almost over, and he had to call everyone to breakfast anyway, so he thought of asking these technicians to go with him. Thinking of this, Gong You said, "I'm going to wake Kurokawa up and have breakfast at the hotel. Do you want me to tell him about your business?"

"Breakfast... No, thanks!"

It took a few seconds to digest what Gong You said. The other party's eyes widened and he waved his hands hurriedly.

"We just came here to take a look and test the waters... Well, don't bother. Wait for you to wake up the young master. It's almost time for us to leave."

They had clearly come to Namimori Town with Kurokawa Kaoru, so why didn't they meet him in person? Miyayu had no idea what was going on in these technicians' minds, so he blinked in confusion before nodding in agreement.

"If you're sure you don't need me to tell Kurokawa, then I won't tell you."

Very good.

The man breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking of their primary purpose this time, the man took a deep breath, organized his words in his mind, and after confirming that there were no problems, he spoke: "If I'm not mistaken, you... should be that Gong You, right?"

Is there anything wrong with being Gong Yoo? Gong Yoo thought to himself.

Thinking back to the time when he met Mrs. Kurokawa before, the person who took him to the hotel also confirmed his name before explaining his identity to him...

"I am indeed Gong You."

Gong You nodded and was about to ask them what was the matter, but when he looked up, he saw that the other party first clenched his fists and then stomped his feet hard.

As if they had prepared themselves mentally, facing Gong You's puzzled gaze, the talented technicians of the Kurokawa family, who were defined in the industry as being unkind and not fond of dealing with others, forced out a smile that could be considered flattering at him.

TBC.
