Chapter 34

Rokudo Mukuro had long realized that as time went by, the world was becoming increasingly hostile towards his existence. He had a premonition that he would soon be able to leave this world and return to the world that truly belonged to him.

Before returning, Rokudo Mukuro wanted to do something within his power, after all, he didn't want Mori Ougai to easily pluck the future literary giant he had painstakingly cultivated.

Mori Ougai has just taken over the port Mafia and is desperately short of talent. He's so desperate that he wants to double himself and his subordinates, and he'd love to immediately hire anyone with talent.

The Vongola at least started "enslaving" Sawada Tsunayoshi and the others after they entered high school, but Mori Ōgai is now not even letting go of elementary school students!

This shows how despicable this person is.

Mori Ougai is still relentlessly trying to seduce Dazai Osamu, while Dazai Osamu, for reasons unknown, is keeping Mori Ougai hanging. But in Rokudo Mukuro's eyes, the outcome is already quite clear.

With Dazai Osamu's intelligence, jumping around in different directions was no problem at all. He could probably even come up with different ways to jump.

"Ryunosuke-kun, I'm leaving soon." Before leaving, he had to make arrangements for Akutagawa Ryunosuke, so that Mori Ōgai wouldn't steal the cabbage he had cultivated.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa was silent for a moment: "Mukuro-kun, where are you going?"

Back then, it was Rokudo Mukuro who took Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Akutagawa Gin out of the Raihachi district, solved their difficulties, and allowed them to live normal lives. For Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Rokudo Mukuro, while not as important as his sister Akutagawa Gin, was still a very important person.

Seeing the concern in Ryunosuke Akutagawa's eyes, Rokudo Mukuro chuckled, "Kufufufu, I'm going home. This isn't my home."

Ryunosuke Akutagawa was relieved, as long as they weren't in any danger.

"But I'm worried about you and Gin-chan!" Rokudo Mukuro said with some distress. The thought of his partner being poached as soon as he left made him very angry.

"Mukuro-kun, you don't need to worry about us. I will take good care of Gin and myself."

"It's not because of that. I'm afraid that after I leave, Dr. Mori will trick you into the trap of the Port Mafia. I think Dazai-kun has already fallen into his clutches. You can't follow in his footsteps!" Rokudo Mukuro said with some heartache.

All Mafia are evil! This idea was so deeply ingrained in Rokudo Mukuro's mind that it could not be eradicated, even though he could now tolerate the existence of individual Mafia.

“He’s older, he’s lived longer than you, he has more life experience than you, and he’s ruthless. How can you possibly defeat him?” Rokudo Mukuro was genuinely worried. He didn’t believe that Mori Ougai would be completely unmoved by such a large diamond after he left.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa paused, feeling that Mukuro-kun knew Dr. Mori too well.

"Mr. Mukuro, do you remember Mr. Natsume Soseki, whom I met before?"

Rokudo Mukuro nodded. Natsume Soseki, the teacher of "Ryunosuke Akutagawa," of course he still remembered him.

“I mentioned my current situation to Mr. Natsume Soseki before, and then I learned something.” Ryunosuke Akutagawa’s gaze drifted slightly. Before learning this, he had also worried that Dr. Mori might force him, Gin, and Mukuro to join the Port Mafia. He didn’t want to leave one den of wolves only to fall into another.

However, Mr. Natsume Soseki's reply gave him firm confidence.

“Mr. Natsume Soseki told me that he was Dr. Mori’s teacher.”

Oh, Dr. Mori's teacher, no, Natsume Soseki was Dr. Mori's teacher?!

Rokudo Mukuro's eyes widened in surprise. Wow, this world is truly exquisite!

Ryunosuke Akutagawa continued, "Mr. Natsume Soseki told me that he wanted to take me as his last disciple, and I agreed. He also said that he would never let me be tricked into the Port Mafia by Dr. Mori."

"And then there's Dazai-kun. Although I don't know what he's thinking, but..."

Before Ryunosuke Akutagawa could finish speaking, Rokudo Mukuro already understood. Considering Osamu Dazai's attitude towards Ryunosuke Akutagawa... huh~

He should be worried now that Ryunosuke Akutagawa has dug up Dr. Mori's diamonds.

Having clarified the relationship between Akutagawa Ryunosuke and the others, Rokudo Mukuro felt half relieved. Everyone understands the principle that it's good to have a powerful backer, and if Akutagawa Ryunosuke had a strong backer, it would be a good thing for him, who was still weak at the moment.

"Remember to save my room for me, I might come back for a visit sometime~" Rokudo Mukuro chuckled.

With Akutagawa Ryunosuke's intelligence, how could he not understand the meaning behind Rokudo Mukuro's words? Where was his room? Wasn't it in the house he bought himself? Now, he was asking Akutagawa Ryunosuke to reserve a room for him; the meaning couldn't be clearer.

"Mukuro-kun, thank you." Thank you for giving me a future I can choose from.

"You're welcome! If you really want to thank me, then remember to save me a copy when Ryunosuke-kun publishes a book in the future." Although I don't know if I'll ever see it again.

"Oh, and also, please pass on a message to Dazai-kun: remember to check Mori-dake's novel for me~"

Rokudo Mukuro, not forgetting to trick Dr. Mori before leaving, said with a smile.

“Okay.” Ryunosuke Akutagawa nodded earnestly in agreement.

Dr. Mori and Osamu Dazai, who were far away in the port Mafia, sneezed at the same time.

…………

Rokudo Mukuro once again walked through the dirty and chaotic streets of Raiba Street, and soon he arrived at the territory of the "Sheep" organization.

Seeing the slightly hostile looks in the eyes of some members of the "Sheep" organization, Rokudo Mukuro sneered inwardly: How despicable! They depend on Chuuya Nakahara yet despise him; they yearn for Chuuya Nakahara's power yet belittle him; they take from Chuuya Nakahara wantonly yet are stingy with giving back...

This is no "sheep" at all, it's clearly a vampire wolf in sheep's clothing!

Known as the "King of Sheep," Chuuya Nakahara must be seen by these children as nothing more than a tool to protect them.

After Rokudo Mukuro witnessed Nakahara Chuuya's predicament, he kept thinking: What kind of saint is Nakahara Chuuya?

No, rather than calling him a saint, it would be more accurate to say that he valued relationships too much, regardless of whether those relationships were good or bad.

"Hey kid, you're looking for Chuuya again? I'm warning you, Chuuya is not going to leave with you for the port Mafia." A white-haired boy walked up to Rokudo Mukuro, his expression filled with arrogance and a hint of dissatisfaction.

In the eyes of the "sheep," Zhongyuan Zhongye was someone they had taken in; they had saved his life. Therefore, Zhongyuan Zhongye was their possession, their protector, and someone who couldn't live without them.

However, Rokudo Mukuro's arrival displeased them, because Nakahara Chuuya defended him in front of them, which made them a little flustered.

Will Zhonghui leave with this kid? Will Zhonghui abandon the "sheep"? These thoughts echoed in their minds.

Rokudo Mukuro completely ignored the clown jumping around in front of him and focused on waiting for Nakahara Chuuya to come out.

"Kid, did you hear what I said?" Shirase's anger surged as he looked at Rokudo Mukuro, who completely ignored him and disregarded his existence.

When Chuuya Nakahara came out, he saw Shirase angrily yelling at Rokudo Mukuro. He frowned and said, "Shirase, what are you doing? Are you bullying Mukuro-kun again?"

He didn't know why, even though Mukuro was well-behaved, sensible, and understanding, and was polite to these children, some of the children in the "sheep" group just couldn't stand him and were full of hostility.

Shirase watched as Chuuya defended Rokudo Mukuro, a flash of anger crossing his eyes. He snorted coldly, turned, and left.

"Chuuya-kun, I've come to say goodbye." Rokudo Mukuro was behaving so obediently and considerately, completely different from the people in "Sheep".

"ah?"

"I'm leaving Japan and going home," Rokudo Mukuro continued to explain.

"So sudden?" Chuuya Nakahara felt a little disappointed.

"Although I don't know if we'll ever meet again, I'll always remember Chuuya-kun. Also, Chuuya-kun, do you still remember the Akutagawa siblings?"

"Of course I remember." Chuuya Nakahara had been to Rokudo Mukuro's house a few times, and of course he had met the Akutagawa siblings.

"I left the house to them, and I also left a room for Chuuya-nii. There's a very reliable elder there, so Chuuya-nii can stay there more often when he's free, and he should definitely go there if something happens. I hope Chuuya-kun will always be well." According to Rokudo Mukuro's observation, given the way Chuuya Nakahara interacts with these kids, things are bound to go wrong sooner or later.

Therefore, he didn't mind letting Chuuya Nakahara and Akutagawa stick together for warmth, so they could look after each other in the future.

"You're quite a worrywart at such a young age." Chuuya Nakahara smiled as he looked at Rokudo Mukuro, a warm feeling washing over him. It felt so good to be cared for and remembered.

"Isn't this because I was worried you'd be scammed?" Rokudo Mukuro glanced at the subtle glances cast at him by the children around him, trying to sow discord.

"Really." Chuuya Nakahara didn't really care about Rokudo Mukuro's words, and just laughed irritably. "Don't worry, I'm very strong, who can fool me!" Chuuya Nakahara's smile was confident and arrogant.

"Here, this is the key. I've already told Ryunosuke and the others, and they're very happy to have you, so don't feel embarrassed, Chuuya-nii!" Rokudo Mukuro handed the house key to Nakahara Chuuya. He was happy to help such a simple-minded person, no matter how small.

Chuuya Nakahara gave Rokudo Mukuro a deep look: "Mukuro-kun, thank you."

"You're welcome! Then I'll be going now, Chuuya-nii." Rokudo Mukuro smiled sweetly, looking exceptionally sensible, waved goodbye to Nakahara Chuuya.

"Won't we stay a little longer?" They didn't know when they would say goodbye, and they were always a little reluctant to part.

"No, if I stay any longer, I'll be killed by people's eyes..." Rokudo Mukuro said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

“These children didn’t mean any harm,” Chuuya Nakahara said sullenly. He always protected these children, no matter the situation.

Rokudo Mukuro rolled his eyes but didn't say anything more. At this moment, Chuuya Nakahara looked at the "sheep" children as if he were wearing an eight hundred times filter; no matter how he looked at them, they were all good.

…………

Rokudo Mukuro's departure was as silent and unnoticed as his arrival. By the time Mori Ougai, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and the others came to their senses, they could not find a trace of Rokudo Mukuro in Yokohama.

After searching for a short time, they gave up, knowing that Rokudo Mukuro had already returned home. Their own lives continued, unaffected by anyone's departure.
