Chapter 91 A bit ambiguous family members

Chapter 91

"Is it really you?"

Although Kurokawa Kaoru had been curious about what the real Reborn looked like, he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw him appear in front of him.

"If it weren't for this top hat, I probably wouldn't have recognized it."

"Is it that hard to recognize?"

Reborn raised his eyebrows and made way for the room behind him. "Whatever you want to say, come inside and talk."

"That's true."

Kurokawa Kaoru nodded, as if a thought had occurred to him. He turned and glanced towards the entrance he had come in through. It had been several minutes since he'd separated from Sperbi Squalo, and since he'd already entered the Vongola base, he couldn't see anything outside.

Thinking of what Sberbi Squalo said to him, Kurokawa Kaoru sighed, and some inexplicable emotions flashed in his eyes.

"I don't know if I can capture this with a photo, so we can go back ten years and laugh at you."

Could this person be any more childish? Reborn felt a little helpless, but he still nodded in compromise.

"If you want to take pictures, I can help you."

"That's great."

Kurokawa Kaoru's lips curled upwards. He grabbed Sawada Tsunayoshi with his left hand and Reborn with his right, pulling them towards him. Before they could react, he had already pulled out his phone and clicked the camera, not even considering whether the expression in the photo would look awkward. He decisively pressed the camera button.

As the shutter sounded, Kurokawa Kaoru blinked and quickly clicked on the most recent photo.

“Puff—”

He laughed.

"What's with that expression on your face, Sawada?"

At the last second before the photo was taken, Reborn's hat slammed directly onto Tsunayoshi Sawada's forehead. Having been suddenly slapped with such a hat, Tsunayoshi's eyes widened, and he looked both frightened and harmless. At the same time, Reborn's lips curled up in a wicked smile directed at the camera.

"If this photo can be preserved, I will definitely print it out and give a copy to each of your guardians."

"That's great! Thank you, Kurokawa. I will definitely treasure the photo of the Judaime!"

"A photo of Tsuna? It seems interesting."

"Gokudera? Yamamoto?"

At this point, Sawada Tsunayoshi's opinion was no longer that important. Seeing the smug look on his face, Sawada Tsunayoshi sighed and raised his hands in resignation: "Let's not discuss the photo for now. Regarding this Byakuran Jesso, Kurokawa, what do you think?"

"Childish brat."

Facing Sawada Tsunayoshi's gaze, Kurokawa Kaoru answered.

In fact...isn't he just a childish kid?

He had only met the other person once, and he didn't know what Bai Lan Jie Suo was thinking, but he was so obsessed with him that he even wanted to kill him at one point.

Well, to be precise, the "Kurokawa Kaoru" in this world has been killed by the other party.

Not wanting to delve into Byakuran Jesso's inner world, Kurokawa Kaoru snorted coldly and said expressionlessly, "I'm just an ordinary person. Sawada, you must protect me well."

Sawada Tsunayoshi: Protect Kurokawa? Me?

"You are the tenth generation leader of the Vongola. Although you haven't officially inherited the throne yet, the entire Vongola will have to obey your orders in the future. How can you show your weakness like this?"

Ignoring the tangle on Sawada Tsunayoshi's face, Kurokawa Kaoru raised his eyebrows and looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi steadily, with a hint of smile in his eyes: "There is nothing to worry about. Now that we have come this far, what we need to do next is to solve the problem at hand and then go back with everyone."

"you're right."

Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded, his expression becoming firm: "Everyone... including Reborn, everyone must go back together."

"That sounds pretty good, as expected of the Tenth Generation of the Vongola."

"Kurokawa, please stop laughing at me..."

"No, no, no, Kurokawa is right. The Judaime said this very well. I am really touched."

“…”

Okay, okay, Yusi is not allowed to talk anymore.

While Sawada Tsunayoshi was being entangled by Gokudera Hayato, Kurokawa Kaoru walked to Reborn's side. Hearing the footsteps behind him, Reborn's expression was calm. He turned around and looked at Kurokawa Kaoru: "Whether everyone can go back or not, Tsuna and Byakuran will run into each other... I'll trouble you with this matter."

"Instead of pinning your hopes on others, you should think about how to stay with Sawada."

"The current situation does not allow me to think about these things anymore."

"Don't give me that forced look here."

Are you kidding me? Kurokawa Kaoru thought to himself.

No matter what, Reborn was the world's number one assassin, but simply because this world's Reborn shouldn't have existed, he had to end up in such a miserable state. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was too outrageous. Kurokawa Kaoru clenched his fists and suddenly grabbed Reborn by the collar.

"You're Reborn, so when something like this happens, you better figure out how to solve it!"

“…”

"Should I feel honored?"

"……ha?"

Kurokawa Kaoru's eyes widened: "What are you talking about?"

"Although you were involved in this incident because of Rambo, I never thought that a guy who has experienced countless lives would show such an expression because of someone."

Not surprisingly, seeing the stiffness on Kurokawa Kaoru's face, Reborn snorted a laugh, and Kurokawa Kaoru's figure was clearly reflected in his eyes: "You look surprised? Are you wondering why I guessed this?"

At this time, you should deny it or find a random reason to cover it up.

But for some reason, perhaps because he knew the man in front of him was about to die, or perhaps because he had figured something out, he decided not to run away anymore. Feeling Reborn's gaze on him, Kurokawa Kaoru closed his eyes and sighed softly.

"When did you find out?"

"During the Battle for the Ring, you stayed until the last one to leave. Was it so you could talk to Cerberus? Your expression was strange at that time."

Reborn still couldn't figure out Cerbero's origins. Their actions seemed to be a way to push things forward, and judging by how easily they could obtain Timoteo's souvenirs, they might actually know a lot about the Vongola.

At first, Reborn simply thought that Cerbero showed up for the battle for the ring, but at that time, Cerbero called Kurokawa Kaoru "the heir of the Kurokawa family."

There are quite a few people in the mafia who know Kurokawa Kaoru, but it is a bit unbelievable that when seeing Kurokawa Kaoru dressed as a girl, they can recognize her identity at a glance and even say that she is the "heir of the Kurokawa family."

"I didn't think much about it at the time. It wasn't until I came to this world and heard about Bai Lan that I began to have some guesses about your identity."

"Kurokawa."

Reborn said, "Your rejection of the Mafia and your refusal to inherit the Kurokawa family is related to your past experiences, right?"

"right."

After a brief silence, Kurokawa Kaoru smiled and said, "As expected of Lord Reborn. If someone like you were my enemy, I would probably cry."

"Just based on the relationship between the Kurokawa family and the Vongola, what you are thinking about is impossible to happen."

"Who knows?"

Without directly answering Reborn's question, Kurokawa Kaoru smiled, his expression somewhat complicated: "After all, I have thought about this before. If I am the only one who keeps dying, then I will do everything I can to destroy the world with me."

“Why not?”

"I don't know either."

When saying this, Kurokawa Kaoru lowered his head and never looked at Reborn: "After all, I was reborn not long ago in this life. Maybe I just haven't had time to think about all these messed up things."

The boy's eyes were a little red. Obviously, Kurokawa Kaoru lied about this matter.

Seeing the other party like this, Reborn's expression changed slightly. He did not expose the other party's lie, but casually asked Kurokawa Kaoru another question: "Cherbero called you the 'heir of the Kurokawa family'. Does this mean that in the previous worlds, you have become the leader of the Kurokawa family?"

"In fact... every world except this one."

"No wonder I always thought you knew too much about the Mafia. Now that I hear you say this, I understand."

"Even if you say so, I won't be happy, Lord Reborn."

"That's a shame."

I always feel that... every time I talk to Reborn, I'm the one who gets hurt in the end.

Not wanting to discuss his own affairs with the other party anymore, Kurokawa Kaoru sighed and found a sofa to sit down.

"So it's today?"

"Um."

Kurokawa Kaoru didn't say anything specific, so Reborn didn't ask. But they both knew tacitly that this "today" referred to Reborn's departure.

"I can't explain it to you specifically. It's more like a hunch."

When he was talking to Lal Milch before, Reborn already knew that all the cursed babies in this world, except himself, had left. So at that time, Reborn knew that he might not be able to accompany Sawada Tsunayoshi and others to solve the problems ten years later.

"It's not a good thing for Tsuna to always rely on me as a tutor. Perhaps this is an opportunity for Tsuna... and the guardians to grow."

That's a nice thing to say.

Kurokawa Kaoru snorted coldly, "That's why I hate you adults. Whether it's Sawada Iemitsu or you, you're all making decisions for Sawada without his permission. Don't tell me what you did at your age. In my opinion, Sawada is just a junior high school student. Putting aside his involvement with the mafia, saving the world is really giving him too much credit."

"But this is Tsuna's fate..."

"Are you going to call it fate again?"

“…”

"Sawada's fate should be chosen by Sawada himself. Whether to be the leader of the Vongola or to save the world should not be imposed on him by you."

"so."

Kurokawa Kaoru clenched his fists and his eyes fell on Reborn: "When we return to the world ten years ago, remember to apologize to Sawada."

“…”

"Um."

TBC.
