Chapter 75

Everyone thought that after returning to the hotel, they could rest well, have a delicious meal, and go back early the next morning.

As a result, when Sawada Tsunayoshi saw the densely packed crowd sitting in the hall that evening, he could already imagine the miserable mess he would have to clean up later.

"Natsume-kun, why are they here?" Sawada Tsunayoshi asked the only familiar human among the group of yokai, clutching his chest.

Takashi Natsume smiled awkwardly. He knew that this was too impolite and would cause trouble for Tsunayoshi Sawada, but he couldn't refuse these yokai, so he could only bring them here to hold what they called a farewell party and reception.

Reborn: "Tsuna, I invited them here specifically in your name. As the future Tenth Generation of the Vongola, establishing relationships with 'people' of different identities is an essential lesson."

Sawada Tsunayoshi: ...Isn't the "person" you're talking about a bit too much of a stretch?

"Boy, you should be grateful that such a noble yokai accepted your invitation!" Nyanko-sensei, his round body sprawled on the ground, curved his eyes into crescent moons, his tone extremely arrogant. As he spoke, he held a bottle of sake in his arms. "Hurry up and bring out your best sake and best food to offer to the great... Aww..."

Before it could finish speaking, Natsume Takashi's fist landed on its head. His face still wore a gentle smile, but the force of his grip remained undiminished. "Sawada-kun, don't listen to Nyanko-sensei's nonsense..."

The empty wine bottle in Nyanko-sensei's arms rolled away, and Sawada Tsunayoshi looked over and saw Rokudo Mukuro sitting with a handsome man. The man was clearly refined and handsome, but he was sitting casually, holding a wine glass in his hand, and talking to Rokudo Mukuro with great enthusiasm.

Rokudo Mukuro also looked at the man sitting next to him with curiosity. This man was none other than Misao, who was acting with him, in human form.

Sanxiao: "Come on, let's have a drink together."

As a yokai, he didn't have much affection for humans other than Natsume's family, but he couldn't resist the fact that Rokudo Mukuro and his group had too many advantages—they were heirs to the Shell, friends of Natsume Takashi, they brought them good wine and food, and even built an inn just for them. More importantly, they were incredibly powerful.

Rokudo Mukuro glanced at the drinks on the table with some disdain. He really couldn't understand what was so good about alcohol, and why anyone would like it. If he had to choose, he'd rather have a chocolate milk tea.

Before he could refuse, Natsume Takashi rushed over immediately, "Sansho, we can't let Rokudo-kun drink. He's not old enough to drink, just like me."

Seeing Natsume Takashi's unyielding gaze, Misaki could only reluctantly withdraw her hand, "Alright, alright."

"Come on, let's drink together and ignore those brats." Nyanko-sensei popped out, glancing at Natsume Takashi and Rokudo Mukuro with a disdainful look.

Rokudo Mukuro finally understood why this fat cat always got beaten up; it was just too annoying. "Oh my, does Nyanko-sensei really like fine wine?"

The cat-teacher knocked over the wine glass with a paw, opened a new bottle, and started chugging it down. Hearing Rokudo Mukuro's words, he let out a burp, "Of course! Fine wine is the best thing in the world. We tasteless brats wouldn't understand."

"Really? I may not know much about wine, but I have seen a luxurious wine cellar~" Rokudo Mukuro said with a smile.

As soon as they finished speaking, indigo smoke filled the hall they were in, and in the blink of an eye, the hall was completely transformed.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Whether they were familiar with Rokudo Mukuro or were demons, everyone stared in astonishment at the scene before them: wooden liquor racks stretched from the floor to the ceiling, neatly arranged in this large house. The room was dimly lit, but each shelf on the exquisite wooden racks was equipped with a small lamp, allowing everyone present to see the neatly arranged liquors on the racks.

Even people who have no interest in alcohol can't help but sigh when they see this endless shelf of liquor, not to mention some very alcoholic monsters.

The cat teacher stared intently at the densely packed bottles of wine, constantly sniffing the aroma wafting in the air, and occasionally swallowing hard.

"Can I have a taste?"

When he said this, his voice was no longer arrogant as before, but instead became soft and gentle, like a real cat being affectionate.

Rokudo Mukuro extended his right hand, indicating, "Do as you please."

Upon hearing this, Nyanko-sensei went straight for a bottle of wine that had been tempting him, and his claws swiftly opened it. The other monsters were also eager to try it, unable to resist the temptation of the wine.

But just as Nyanko-sensei was about to chug the bottle, the illusion vanished, just like their beautiful dream ended abruptly...

The cat teacher was getting a little frustrated. "Were those things real?" He was extremely unwilling to accept it; he hadn't even tasted it yet.

Rokudo Mukuro raised an eyebrow and answered with absolute certainty, "Of course."

The scene he just conjured up was actually XANXUS's wine cellar. That wine cellar was large, filled with a wide variety of fine wines, all of excellent quality and extremely valuable, making it a favorite of XANXUS. Even when Varian was demolishing his house, he would deliberately avoid that wine cellar.

After decades of accumulation and collection, XANXUS's wine cellar is a treasure trove of world-renowned wines, making it priceless.

Even Sawada Tsunayoshi was often extremely envious, especially when Varian went to the Vongola headquarters to claim reimbursement for his deficit. He even wished he could sneak into Varian at night to steal a few bottles of sake to sell and pay off his debts.

Because of Fran, Rokudo Mukuro had a good relationship with Varian and had visited the place many times. He even used the interior design style there as inspiration to design a room specifically for collecting chocolates.

“Those are all sake brewed by humans.” Nyanko-sensei’s eyes darted around. Knowing that asking Rokudo Mukuro was unreliable, he turned his gaze to Natsume Takashi. “Natsume, I want that much sake too. You have to work hard and earn money to buy it for me!”

The other monsters also looked at him hopefully. Just by smelling the wine, they knew it must taste amazing, and they wanted to try it too...

Natsume Takashi's forehead creased with exasperation. "Nyanko-sensei, you're drunk. You should get some sleep. And you guys too, drinking too much in broad daylight, what nonsense are you spouting?" Anything can happen in a dream? Buying such a huge wine cellar? Dreaming is much faster.

Reborn reached out and pulled down the brim of his hat. He felt that the place that had just appeared in the illusion looked somewhat familiar.

"It's just a wine cellar. Once Tsuna inherits the Vongola, we can build one too. Tsuna's father loves to drink, so we'll invite you over then." With one sentence, he essentially sold off both Sawada Tsunayoshi and his father as a package deal.

"Okay, no problem."

"We'll definitely go when we have the chance."

“Our requirements aren’t high; we don’t need it to take that long, just one shelf will suffice.”

"..."

The Vongola-style gathering was as noisy as ever, not to mention the addition of a group of equally noisy yokai.

Gokudera Hayato knelt respectfully before the kappa and the mustachioed man, holding a notebook in one hand and a pen in the other, asking them questions about yokai while quickly writing them down in his notebook.

The girls, full of curiosity, gathered around Bing, who was dressed in a kimono and had a beautiful face. The group chatted happily, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Yamamoto Takeshi and Ryohei, one holding a baseball and the other wearing boxing gloves, were explaining to the monsters they had fought that day what baseball and boxing were, and enthusiastically inviting them to learn, completely forgetting the conflict that had occurred earlier that day.

Inu and Chikusa couldn't help but become curious about the yokai, and each gathered around the yokai that interested them, engaging in friendly conversation.

Feng Tai also held his ranking book and muttered to himself as he took notes.

Dino, to avoid frightening his burly Italian family members who didn't believe in ghosts or spirits, had to go to great lengths to let them play outside a little longer. Then, taking advantage of his age and ability to drink, he perfectly blended into the group of alcoholics.

"Oh, right, a human dressed in black and with black hair also came into the forest today." A little monster seemed to remember something and suddenly said indignantly, "That human was so hypocritical!"

"Yes, when that human saw the pretty little fox, he was indifferent, but he still gently touched her ears and tail."

"I just went over out of curiosity, and he immediately attacked me with his weapon." A strangely shaped monster said with tears in its eyes, "If I hadn't run away quickly, I wouldn't be here drinking today, and I would be lying in bed recovering from my injuries."

"We went over out of curiosity, but we got attacked too. Luckily, we have wings and we flew away."

"..."

Upon hearing these words, Rokudo Mukuro knew without a second thought who the yokai were talking about. Someone who liked beautiful, cute, furry little animals, and was also so violent and had superhuman strength—who else could it be? It had to be that little sparrow who refused to graze with them.

Although he hadn't seen the man, he could sense that he had been following them closely all day.

Having been deeply influenced by Hibari Kyoya, Sawada Tsunayoshi immediately realized that the person they were talking about was Hibari-senpai. He gave an awkward smile, "That person is our comrade..."

The monsters fell silent for a moment, then the ones who had been beaten suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "Luckily you're leaving tomorrow."

Just then, Lambo and Ippei suddenly ran in. Lambo ran ahead, laughing loudly, the little cow charging around without paying any attention to what was in front of him. Ippei followed closely behind him.

"Rambo, don't run around in the room, be careful not to fall." The dutiful babysitter Tsuna is back in action.

“And Ippei…” His gaze froze when he saw Ippei. “Ippei! Did you just see Hibari-senpai?! Your ticking time bomb has been detonated again!!”

More importantly, the countdown has now reached the third tile.

In that critical moment, Sawada Tsunayoshi suddenly unleashed an unprecedented potential, grabbing Ippei and throwing her out the window with all his might at the last second.

A huge explosion immediately rang out, but Sawada Tsunayoshi had a bad feeling. Had he hit someone when he threw Ippin?
