Chapter 87

Given the current situation, Rokudo Mukuro certainly knows which time period he is in.

However, what he was more curious about was whether Sawada Tsunayoshi in this world had successfully faked his death.

He used illusion magic to walk openly into the Vongola Castle. Everything here was still so familiar, almost unchanged: the beautiful gardens, the magnificent fountains. If one ignored the tight security, it would be hard to believe that this was the Mafia's headquarters.

When Rokudo Mukuro arrived at Sawada Tsunayoshi's office, the Vongola Tenth Boss, who was sitting at his desk, keenly looked up and then revealed a gentle smile.

"Mukuro, you're here." The smile in his eyes was as gentle as ever, then a hint of doubt appeared on his face. "Didn't you say you were planning to escape from prison? What brings you here? Or do you need any help...?"

Hidden in the shadows, Rokudo Mukuro remained silent, a hint of secret joy in his expression.

I really don't know what's wrong with this evil Mafia. No matter what age or time period they're in, they can instantly and keenly sense my presence. Supernatural, is this some kind of cheating?

He slowly appeared at the window, and looking at that mature face, Rokudo Mukuro's eyes flashed with a hint of nostalgia.

"Huh?" Sawada Tsunayoshi stared wide-eyed in shock upon seeing Rokudo Mukuro appear before him. "...Mukuro from ten years ago? No, it's Mukuro from a parallel world ten years ago."

Rokudo Mukuro raised the corners of his lips, saying with a hint of mischievousness, "Wow, look at you, ten years from now you've become an evil Mafia in rabbit skin. If your past self saw this, he'd definitely cry, wouldn't he?"

“Mukuro…” Sawada Tsunayoshi smiled helplessly, looking into Rokudo Mukuro’s eyes with gentle eyes.

"Did Rambo misuse the rocket launcher from ten years later?"

Rokudo Mukuro's smile vanished instantly, his heterochromatic eyes narrowed slightly, and he perfectly embodied the aura of a villain. "Yes, and you're one of the culprits too. Wait till I get back, heh..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Sawada Tsunayoshi instantly understood what he meant and silently mourned for a second for his parallel world self ten years ago and Lambo.

The next second, a happy smile spread across his face, and even his eyes shone with joy. Sawada Tsunayoshi gazed tenderly at Rokudo Mukuro before him, "This is so nice..."

"What?" Rokudo Mukuro looked at him with some confusion.

“I mean, the parallel world you live in is really nice.” Sawada Tsunayoshi could tell that Rokudo Mukuro standing in front of him was indeed himself, and not some illusion or consciousness.

"After this is over, I will do my best to negotiate with the Avengers Prison and make sure that Mukuro is completely free."

The tenderness and sincerity in those eyes made Rokudo Mukuro awkwardly look away.

"Tsk, whatever. But what happened to you? Tell me about it."

Sawada Tsunayoshi's expression turned serious. "Mukuro, I don't want you to get involved in what's happening here."

Rokudo Mukuro secretly curled his lip. Even if you don't want me to get involved, I still have to get involved!

"The rocket launcher has been malfunctioning for ten years, and I've been here for a long time."

Sawada Tsunayoshi comforted him, "Don't worry, the me from ten years ago would have done everything I could to bring you back."

Rokudo Mukuro said with a smile, "Oh, by the way, I ran into Chigusa and the others on my way here, and I helped them out with a little thing~"

"I helped them get their future selves out of prison ten years from now—"

Without Rokudo Mukuro, Chigusa and Fran's actions would definitely have been delayed. After all, those people in the Avengers prison are not easy to fool.

Hearing this news, Sawada Tsunayoshi breathed a sigh of relief. "Mukuro, thank you!"

He glanced at the time, then neatly arranged the documents in his hand. "It's almost dinner time, Mukuro. Let's have dinner together later and meet some old friends from ten years in the future."

Rokudo Mukuro nodded in agreement and began ordering without any hesitation, "Remember to have the kitchen staff bring me a chocolate cake."

"no problem."

Just as Sawada Tsunayoshi finished organizing the documents in his hand, there was a knock at the door. He answered and Basil pushed the door open and walked in. When he saw Rokudo Mukuro standing by the window, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Boss, Lord Mist Guardian, dinner is ready. Please come and eat."

"Thank you for your hard work, Basil." Sawada Tsunayoshi smiled slightly. "Please go to the kitchen and tell them to bring out a chocolate cake."

"Yes, Boss!"

Watching Basil's departing figure, Rokudo Mukuro was reminded of Sawada Tsunayoshi from ten years ago.

That soft and easily bullied rabbit from back then is gone forever with the passage of time...

When Rokudo Mukuro followed Sawada Tsunayoshi to the restaurant, he saw several familiar figures sitting at the table, talking noisily.

Upon noticing their approach, the group turned their gazes toward them.

The group of people were clearly taken aback when they saw Rokudo Mukuro.

"Tenth Generation! What's wrong with him?" Gokudera Hayato asked with concern, looking at Rokudo Mukuro's noticeably different height and appearance. Although he and Rokudo Mukuro didn't seem to get along on the surface, they were, after all, comrades.

"Hahaha, Mukuro, why are you getting shorter and shorter?" Yamamoto Takeshi stood up, compared his height to Rokudo Mukuro's, and then laughed while scratching the back of his head.

"You idiot!" Gokudera Hayato's forehead veins bulged. "It's obvious at a glance that he's Rokudo Mukuro from ten years ago!"

Lambo, who had been happily devouring his cake, quietly softened his movements upon hearing this, trying to minimize his presence. He discreetly raised his head, wanting to catch a glimpse of Rokudo Mukuro from ten years ago.

Unexpectedly, he met Rokudo Mukuro's ambiguous gaze.

He shuddered and quickly lowered his head, screaming inwardly: "It was me from ten years ago who tricked you, what does that have to do with me ten years from now?! Don't look at me like that!"

Sawada Tsunayoshi pulled Rokudo Mukuro down to sit and explained Rokudo Mukuro's background to the three of them.

Jokudera Hayato: "Tsk, you stupid cow."

Lambo glared at him indignantly, but didn't dare to argue back because he felt guilty.

Yamamoto Takeshi said with a chuckle, "Well, it's quite interesting to see Mukuro from ten years ago."

The table they were sitting at was large enough to comfortably seat more than a dozen people, but there were only five of them there.

Sawada Tsunayoshi explained, "Hibari-senpai, Ryohei-nii is in Japan. As for Chrome, you should know where she is. The others are either on missions or busy with their own things, so it's just the few of us eating now."

Rokudo Mukuro nodded.

Dinner was plentiful; the Vongola chefs knew the tastes of each Guardian well, and the food served was especially to their liking.

After everyone finished their noisy dinner, Rokudo Mukuro stood up and said, "I'm leaving."

"Huh? Mukuro, where are you going?" Sawada Tsunayoshi quickly stood up and asked nervously, "You should stay here. It's not very safe outside lately."

When facing Rokudo Mukuro from ten years ago, Sawada Tsunayoshi always had the mindset of an old father, afraid that if he wasn't careful, Rokudo Mukuro would get hurt.

“This isn’t the place it was ten years ago, and the fighting style has changed. Staying in the Vongola is the safest place for you.” Gokudera Hayato frowned.

Seeing the nervous expressions on their faces, Rokudo Mukuro was in a good mood. But even so, he couldn't suppress his desire to stir things up.

“Kufufufu…I don’t need your protection.” Rokudo Mukuro said with a smile, “Since you won’t tell me what happened here, I’ll go and find out myself.”

"Mukuro!" Sawada Tsunayoshi exclaimed anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'll go find myself."

Hearing this, Sawada Tsunayoshi finally relaxed. He was truly afraid of Rokudo Mukuro. Ten years later, Mukuro kept saying that he wasn't a Vongola member, but when something really happened, he would definitely be the first to rush to the front.

This wasn't the first or second time he'd discovered this; the man who was just saying one thing and meaning another would immediately rush into the enemy family to become an undercover agent...

Sawada Tsunayoshi immediately handed Rokudo Mukuro his contact information and a bank card. "Mukuro, remember to keep in touch with me. Don't just disappear all the time. Also, you can spend the money in this card however you like. Take care of yourself. If anything happens, come back right away..."

Looking at Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was giving him countless instructions, Rokudo Mukuro was speechless. Did he really treat him like that little brat Lambo?

He took the things from him and said, "Okay, I understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from Sawada Tsunayoshi's sight.

It's absolutely impossible for him not to cause trouble; he's really looking forward to meeting Byakuran in this world!
