Chapter 39

Rokudo Mukuro originally thought that after waking up, he could arrange the relevant matters and set off for Japan.

After all, they had been traveling all over the world for a long time, and studying and completing missions occupied most of their lives. Although they kept an eye on what was happening in Japan, Sawada Tsunayoshi was under tight protection by the Vongola members.

He didn't rush to meet them.

Now is the perfect time to go to Japan and see Sawada Tsunayoshi make a fool of himself. After all, the iconic scene of the great Tenth Vongola boss running around naked in his floral shorts for the first time is not to be missed.

It's important to know that Reborn was able to act like a monster in front of Sawada Tsunayoshi for his entire life because he had firsthand video footage.

Even though he has evolved into a Vongola Lion like a Tyrannomon, when he sees various videos of himself running around naked, he has to grit his teeth and try his best to maintain a smile. Under the watchful eyes of his teacher, he tries his best to maintain his composure and dignity, while secretly going crazy but helpless.

How could Rokudo Mukuro possibly miss such a lively event? He had already bought several of the world's best cameras, with ample memory and absolutely crystal-clear image quality. He would definitely do his utmost to capture every single brilliant moment of Sawada Tsunayoshi from every angle…

More leverage means more options; when you're trying to shirk responsibility, these things are your bargaining chips.

But as planned, things changed, and he was conscripted by the World Consciousness.

Rokudo Mukuro looked at himself in the mirror. Hmm, handsome and dashing. His world consciousness is quite reliable when he needs to be.

The Rokudo Mukuro in the mirror has a pair of deep blue eyes, as deep as the ocean, revealing a mysterious and unpredictable beauty.

Her medium-length hair hung down her back, and her pineapple-like split hair was neatly styled and fixed on her head, with a few strands falling beside her ears.

He was wearing a middle school uniform, a navy blue suit-style uniform, paired with a white shirt and tie, giving him a mature and composed appearance.

But it was precisely this school uniform that made Rokudo Mukuro involuntarily purse his lips.

This school uniform is so stiff, not even half as good-looking as the Obsidian uniform. The Obsidian uniform should be the coolest and best-looking school uniform in the world, stylish and eye-catching, it can turn heads the moment it appears. Unlike the one he's wearing, which is serious and formal, it doesn't suit him at all.

He looked down at the school badge on his body: Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School.

So, is the world consciousness planning to let him go to school in this world?

Rokudo Mukuro frowned in slight distress. He really wasn't a well-behaved student; it would be too much to ask him to go to school in a serious manner.

This kind of job should be right for Little Sparrow; if he were in charge, he could definitely take over the campus and make it his own territory.

Just as he was contemplating whether to use illusion magic to attend Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School, which the world consciousness had arranged for him, and to wander around the world, his eyes suddenly shifted toward the doorway.

Immediately afterwards, there was a knock on the door.

Rokudo Mukuro strolled over, his face now displaying a kind and innocent expression, and opened the door.

At the doorway stood the two children of the Kirihara family next door, sent out by their mother to visit their new neighbor.

The boy walking behind the girl had curly hair like seaweed. He was staring with cat-like eyes and muttering under his breath, "I already told you, I'm going to practice tennis, I don't want to..."

But seeing the sharp look his older sister gave him as she turned around, he ultimately shut his mouth under the pressure of his bloodline and followed behind her like a quail.

He was silently thinking to himself: Oh well, my silly older sister is a girl, and I'm a boy. She's too timid to visit the neighbors alone and needs my protection...

At this moment, a smile slowly appeared on his face. He completely forgot who he was and didn't even dare to raise his head under his sister's sharp gaze.

Kirihara's older sister watched her silly younger brother, who would sometimes look dejected and sometimes break into a silly smile, and felt utterly helpless: This idiot who only cares about tennis, how could he live without her?

The older sister was heartbroken over her mentally challenged younger brother.

When they reached their neighbor's door, Kirihara's older sister stopped and gestured to Kirihara Akaya to knock on the door.

Having already comforted himself, Kirihara Akaya strode confidently to the door and knocked.

The door opened, and the Kirihara siblings' eyes lit up when they saw Rokudo Mukuro.

Kirihara looked at Rokudo Mukuro, who was dressed in a neat school uniform that accentuated his tall and handsome figure, and a gentle smile appeared on her face when she saw them.

Every gesture he made perfectly showcased his demeanor and poise, making him appear as elegant and gentlemanly as ever.

Not to mention that Rokudo Mukuro also has a handsome face that can deceive most people, which greatly enhances his charm.

Kirihara's older sister glanced at the new neighbor, then out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at her silly younger brother. The new neighbor and her brother should be about the same age, but their temperaments were completely different.

In her eyes, her younger brother Kirihara Akaya was always a younger brother, a little kid who would never grow up, and she needed to supervise him, for fear that he would get lost if she wasn't careful.

Rokudo Mukuro, however, is different. Although he is still young, one look at him reveals that he is definitely a mature and steady handsome man.

Kirihara's older sister admired Rokudo Mukuro's face with delight, leaving all the negotiation tasks to her younger brother.

"You're also a student at Rikkai University? Do you know me? I'm Kirihara Akaya, who's about to enter my second year and will become the ace of the tennis club." Kirihara Akaya was pleasantly surprised to meet a fellow student from Rikkai University and said excitedly.

Following behind him, Kirihara's older sister rolled her eyes, having no hope for her super stupid younger brother. Why is he acting like he's here to recruit a little brother?

And this younger brother, who keeps talking about tennis, is definitely a tennis idiot.

With a polite smile on his face, Rokudo Mukuro looked at the brother and sister in front of him. One was innocent and the other was simple-minded, so his smile became even more gentle and polite.

He first gave Kirihara-neechan a polite smile and nodded slightly, then looked at Kirihara Akaya to answer his question, "Hello, Kirihara-san, Kirihara-kun. I am indeed a student at Rikkai University, and my name is Rokudo Mukuro."

Looking at Kirihara Akaya's bright and expectant eyes, he slowly said, "Because I only transferred to Rikkai University this semester, I'm not very familiar with Kirihara-kun."

Hearing Rokudo Mukuro's answer, Kirihara Akaya wasn't too disappointed. He touched his hair and said casually, "Okay, I'm Kirihara Akaya, who's about to enter Rikkai University as a second-year student. By the way, you should know about Rikkai University's tennis club, right?"

His eyes shone even brighter as he said this.

Rokudo Mukuro's eyes flashed, and his smile became even more genuine. "Of course, who doesn't know Rikkai University's tennis club? Even if I haven't specifically looked into it, I've heard of its reputation."

Hearing his newly acquainted neighbor praise their tennis club like that, Kirihara Akaya smiled sheepishly, feeling a little embarrassed.

This student is such a great person; he really likes the tennis club. We should introduce him to the seniors when school starts.

Kirihara's older sister, standing behind them, was even more speechless. She didn't want to look at her silly younger brother's performance at all. Even Rokudo Mukuro's good looks couldn't stop her from leaving.

"Rokudo-kun, these are some snacks my mother prepared for you. I hope you like them." She then handed the snack box to Rokudo Mukuro.

Rokudo Mukuro politely accepted it, his face showing some apology. "I came in a hurry and didn't prepare anything, nor did I have time to visit you."

Before Kirihara's older sister could speak, Kirihara Akaya hurriedly said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. By the way, what grade are you in when you transfer here?"

Seeing Kirihara Akaya's expectant expression, Rokudo Mukuro understood what this simple-minded kid was thinking. He was simply hoping that if he were a year younger than Akaya, it would be easier to recruit a follower.

Rokudo Mukuro said with a smile, "Third year."

"Alright." Kirihara Akaya drooped his head in disappointment, while Rokudo Mukuro's smile widened at the sight before him.

He has a high level of affection for Kirihara Akaya; the boy's personality is very similar to that of a dog.

Meanwhile, Kirihara's older sister couldn't help but roll her eyes and secretly reached out to pinch Kirihara Akaya's waist.

"Ouch! Silly sister, what are you doing?"

Upon hearing this, Kirihara's older sister couldn't help but want to beat her younger brother.

She tried to maintain her smile, wiped her face, and said, "It's okay. Since you're classmates from the same school, you can hang out with your peers. I still have work to finish, so I'll head back now."

She didn't want her stupid younger brother, Kirihara Akaya, who only thought about playing tennis.

“I live here all by myself, and there’s nothing to offer you, so I won’t keep you any longer, Kirihara-san.” Rokudo Mukuro bid farewell to Kirihara-san with an apologetic expression, and then said to Kirihara Akaya, “I just transferred here as well. If it’s not too much trouble, I would like to ask Kirihara-kun to tell me about Rikkai University.”

Rokudo Mukuro's expression was sincere, his words were pleasant, and his face was full of genuine emotion. This immediately energized Kirihara Akaya, who patted his chest and said, "No problem, leave it to me."

He then turned to his older sister and said, "Sister, you should go back quickly."

Kirihara Akaya had angered her to the point of losing her temper. After saying goodbye to Rokudo Mukuro, Kirihara left without looking back.

Younger brothers are only the cutest when they're little; once they get a bit older, they become quite annoying and need a good spanking.

Rokudo Mukuro led Kirihara Akaya into the house.

With a strong sense of responsibility, Kirihara Akaya enthusiastically introduced the situation of Rikkai University's junior high school to Rokudo Mukuro.

"...Especially our school's tennis club, it's the best in all of Japan...and our captain, Yukimura Seiichi, he's known as the 'Child of God,' the number one junior high school tennis player in Japan. Not only is he handsome, but he's also incredibly skilled at tennis, but he..."

Kirihara Akaya paused for a moment, his expression seemingly worried, but he quickly continued his topic, "...and Vice-Captain Sanada...and Yanagi-senpai..."

Rokudo Mukuro: "Wow, our Rikkai University tennis club is really amazing, and the members are outstanding."

"...And then there's me, Kirihara Akaya. I will strive to become the ace of Rikkai University's tennis team after entering my second year of junior high... The Kanto Tournament champion... The National Tournament champion will all be from Rikkai University..."

Rokudo Mukuro: "Well then, Kirihara-kun, good luck."

From the moment he entered the house, Kirihara Akaya began to talk incessantly. He claimed to be introducing Rikkai University, but he spent the entire time praising Rikkai's tennis club, describing his seniors in glowing terms, acting like a devoted fanboy. At the end, he even bragged about himself.

Rokudo Mukuro didn't interrupt him at all, watching him with a smile and letting him talk on and on, occasionally offering his support. Both of them were very satisfied with each other.

After Kirihara Akaya finished speaking, he suddenly remembered a question, "Oh right, I forgot to ask you, what grade are you in?"

Rokudo Mukuro recalled the enrollment information he had seen earlier: "He will be entering the third year soon."

Upon hearing this, Kirihara Akaya said awkwardly, "Oh, it's you, senpai. Do you play tennis? Would you like to join our tennis club?"

Thinking about his previous long and rambling introduction, as well as the interesting aura surrounding the child, Rokudo Mukuro answered without hesitation: "I'm not good at tennis, but I'm very interested in the tennis club. I'll trouble Kirihara-kun to show me around later."

"No problem, I've got it covered!" Kirihara Akaya was very pleased with himself for having gained a fan for the tennis club and confidently agreed.
