Chapter 90

Reborn is dying?

Sberby Squalo's expression froze, and when he came to his senses he quickly looked towards XANXUS. It was obvious that he still had some doubts about the authenticity of this matter.

"Whether it's true or not, we should send him back."

Tsk. XANXUS smacked his lips.

So, tonight will be the last time I eat steak made by this kid?

I always feel a little unhappy.

Originally, XANXUS had planned to find Byakuran Jesso and kill him right in front of Kurokawa Kaoru. This would more or less mean that Kurokawa Kaoru killed him personally. However, compared to the people in the Vongola, Kurokawa Kaoru clearly had less trust in him.

Besides, he couldn't guarantee how much chance he would have of winning if he really faced Bai Lan Jesuo.

Although he once said in front of Kurokawa Kaoru that if he couldn't do it, it meant he didn't work hard enough, but before he really confirmed Byakuran Jesso's strength, he would not casually say that he could kill the other party.

"Someone from the Vongola will come pick him up tomorrow morning. If there's anything else you want to say to that brat, it's best to do it tonight."

Is Kurokawa Kaoru leaving tomorrow morning? Sperbi Squalo opened his mouth, then clenched his fists. He said in a deep voice, "Even if I met that brat in a world ten years ago, fundamentally, we're not from the same world."

Besides—

He didn't think he had anything to talk about with Kurokawa Kaoru.

"I can't possibly ask him if the bastard leader from ten years ago is still alive, right?"

"Squalo, you're really becoming less and less afraid of death."

"Didn't you ask me if I had anything to ask that brat?"

Sperbi Squalo snorted coldly, rolling his eyes in front of Xanxus. "You clearly know that I have nothing to say to him, yet you deliberately ask me such a question... Actually, you want to say something to him, right?"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, an angry attack came down. Anticipating that his words would irritate the other party, Sperbi Squaro took two steps back and turned to run towards the kitchen.

"Hey! Brat! I want one too!"

"Huh? Didn't you eat sashimi?"

"Sashimi is sashimi, steak is steak! Anyway, I want to eat steak now!"

“…”

It’s so troublesome!

Belphegor was causing chaos in the kitchen, and after Sbelbi Squaro joined in, the situation became even more out of control. Fortunately, Lusilia was there to help, which prevented Varian's already simple kitchen from becoming completely unusable.

Half an hour later, Kurokawa Kaoru finally ended the fight and sighed. He left the other people's steaks in the kitchen and asked them to serve them from the iron plate themselves. Then he walked out with XANXUS's portion.

With his back to Kurokawa Kaoru, XANXUS had actually heard the other's footsteps, but for some reason, he didn't react. Until Kurokawa Kaoru walked in front of him and saw the sweat on his forehead, his expression changed slightly, and the finger on the edge of his pants moved.

"Do I need to say thank you?"

"Then I'd probably just spit it out."

He pulled a chair and sat not too far from the other person. Seeing the man slowly picking up the knife and fork to cut the steak in front of him, Kurokawa Kaoru's expression was calm, and the content of his words was clearly heard by XANXUS.

"Actually, you should know that it's very difficult for me to kill Bailan Jesuo with my ability."

"Isn't this a matter of course?"

"...Can you at least say a few words of comfort to me?"

"comfort?"

Xanxus frowned.

Would this person need this kind of thing?

XANXUS stuffed a piece of steak into his mouth, yawned as if thinking of something, and said casually, "Based on what I've found these past two days, your death in this world seems to be related to Bailan Jiesuo."

"Are you serious?"

Kurokawa Kaoru's breathing stopped, but his expression remained unchanged. "I don't think there's anything about me that could be targeted by them... What did the 'me' in this world do?"

"Shouldn't this kind of thing be handled by another 'Kurokawa Kaoru', kid?"

Seeing the man lower his head in silence, XANXUS chuckled and finished the rest of the steak in a few bites.

"After all, you cooked steak for me for two days. In consideration of these two steaks, I can give you some advice."

"Sometimes...the only one who can help you is yourself."

The only one who can help him is himself? Kurokawa Kaoru frowned.

What does this mean?

Unfortunately, XANXUS stopped there. No matter what he said next, the other party didn't say another word about the previous topic. Looking at the other party intently, Kurokawa Kaoru clenched his fists, and some inexplicable emotions flashed in his eyes.

"If I find out you're hiding something from me, I won't let you go."

"That depends on whether you are able to do this."

The next morning, on the way to the Vongola base, Kurokawa Kaoru learned about Reborn through Sperby Squalo.

As early as the first day he came to this world, he had guessed this through the other party's words. Kurokawa Kaoru's expression was calm, and a trace of melancholy arose in his heart.

"So it's today."

"You knew that a long time ago?"

"After all, it was Reborn who said it himself."

Kurokawa Kaoru wasn't quite sure of the specific reasons, but the speed of his growth was clearly a bit strange. Besides, since Reborn had said so, as a bystander, Kurokawa Kaoru could only believe it.

"So they're planning to let me go back because of this incident?"

He's an outsider... going to the Vongola base?

Thinking about how he had also been staying at Varian's base during this period, Kurokawa Kaoru's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but complain: "Seriously, do you Vongola really have no problems?"

Sperby Squalo:?

Why look at him? He doesn't know what those people are thinking!

"From what the bastard leader said, after you go to the Vongola base, you probably won't come back. I don't know what role you can play there, but at least we've met in the world you lived in ten years ago. I still hope you can return alive."

"I'll give you my good wishes."

Kurokawa Kaoru smiled and said, "If I can go back, I will immediately go to Varian and tell XANXUS that the Sperbi Squaro from that world has been replaced."

"Hey! Brat!"

As soon as he saw Sawada Tsunayoshi, Kurokawa Kaoru was ready to "run away." Reaching out to grab the man back, he saw him blinking at him innocently. Sperbi Squalo took a deep breath, and some inexplicable emotions flashed in his eyes.

"Don't worry about what the bastard leader says. Just leave Bailan Jiesuo's affairs to others."

“…”

"I'll think about it."

Without directly answering Sberbi Squalo's question, Kurokawa Kaoru smiled when he saw someone frowning at him, then turned around and ran towards Sawada Tsunayoshi.

"Sawada."

He trotted a few steps to Sawada Tsunayoshi and saw that his eyes were red and he looked like he was about to cry. Thinking about why he came here, Kurokawa Kaoru's expression changed slightly and he reached out to pat the other person's shoulder.

"I already know the specifics. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after we get in."

"Kurokawa..."

Hearing what Kurokawa Kaoru said, Sawada Tsunayoshi immediately calmed down a lot. Although it was because of Reborn that Kurokawa Kaoru became his sparring partner, it must be said that with the other person by his side, Sawada Tsunayoshi felt that he was completely relaxed.

"I really don't understand why Reborn would..."

"Perhaps it's because the Reborn of this world shouldn't exist in the first place."

If it is as he said, then according to the theory of parallel worlds, Reborn is like a discordant note to this world. In order to make everything in this world develop along the correct track, the world itself will find a way to eliminate this discordant note.

Wait a moment--

The correct trajectory? Kurokawa Kaoru was stunned for a moment.

Whatever Cerbero and the other "Kurokawa Kaoru" wanted to tell him seemed to be connected to this correct trajectory. As perceptive as Kurokawa Kaoru was, he instinctively sensed that his rebirth might be related to this matter. Thinking of the "Kurokawa Kaoru" ten years later, he sought out Kudo Shinichi and XANXUS to convey these things to him, and combined with the words they conveyed, Kurokawa Kaoru's breathing quickened, and his heart sank.

If I could solve the problems in this world, would I really be able to avoid rebirth?

The thing he had been fantasizing about all this time was suddenly right in front of him. Although it was possible that it was just a mirage, a beautiful illusion, but since there was such a possibility, he would not say anything and just leave it alone, and do nothing.

Thinking of this, Kurokawa Kaoru closed his eyes, and finally couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"I know you're feeling uneasy right now, but Sawada, we're in a world ten years from now. As long as you can resolve all these problems and we return to our own world, maybe Reborn will come back by then."

"Really? Kurokawa."

"I can't guarantee it, but... there is indeed such a possibility."

"……you're right."

Kurokawa Kaoru's words rekindled Sawada Tsunayoshi's confidence. Although there were still many doubts in this world and he hadn't figured out a way to return, compared to his previous state of being a headless fly, the current Sawada Tsunayoshi gave people a noticeable change.

"I will try my best to find a way to go back. When that happens, everyone... and Reborn can go back together."

"Um."

Kurokawa Kaoru nodded, with a smile in his eyes: "So where is Reborn?"

"Here."

“…”

The sudden sound interrupted Kurokawa Kaoru's thoughts. As if it was a foreshadowing, Kurokawa Kaoru turned around and saw the man leaning against the wall.

Wearing a black suit and a black top hat, he looked to be in his prime, but his aura was that of someone entering old age.

"Mr. Reborn?"

"Ciaos."

It was a different voice from a baby's, but the tone was damn familiar. Seeing the surprise on the man's face, the corners of his lips curled up and his gaze fell on Kurokawa Kaoru.

"Are you satisfied with my appearance?"

It's clearly Reborn.

TBC.
