Chapter 11: Congratulations on getting the Vongola Tenth Generation's sparring partner...
Chapter 11
Even though Kurokawa Kaoru was extremely reluctant, sometimes it was just like that: the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen. So when he "ran into" Reborn in the lounge area of the Beika Hotel the next afternoon, Kurokawa Kaoru closed his eyes and raised his hands in resignation.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Reborn."
"As expected of the heir trained by the Kurokawa family, you still have this kind of vision."
Grabbing Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was trying to escape, from the corner, Reborn laughed and lightly jumped onto the sofa closest to them. "Kurokawa Kaoru showed amazing talent as a child. He started handling guns at the age of five, mastered all the controlled knives at the age of seven, and completed missions with his family at the age of ten. Because of his extraordinary courage and terrifying aura, he is completely famous in the circle."
"Lord Reborn is joking."
Even though his underwear had been stripped off, Kurokawa Kaoru still smiled calmly: "Those were things from my childhood. Now I'm just an ordinary high school student. As for the family heir and so on, that's completely what the outside world thinks. My father and mother are still very young. Maybe in the next two years, I'll have a brother or sister."
In reality, such a thing was of course impossible. In all his past lives, his parents had never planned to have another child, but there was no need to tell Reborn about this.
Thinking of this, Kurokawa Kaoru's eyebrows arched, and he lowered his head to meet Reborn's gaze: "I've heard from my father about Lord Reborn before. He is the world's number one assassin and also the chief advisor of the Vongola family. It is truly my honor to meet you here."
Reborn raised his eyebrows: "That's a nice thing to say. Didn't we meet once yesterday?"
"So you've already met with Lord Reborn yesterday?"
Kurokawa Kaoru didn't even blink: "I didn't even notice Lord Reborn in the crowd. It seems my training is not good enough."
“…”
After a few words, both sides had figured out each other's routines. As if they had reached some strange tacit understanding, Reborn snorted and kicked Sawada Tsunayoshi out.
"Stupid Tsuna, come say hello to the heir of the Kurokawa family."
The heir of the Kurokawa family? What is that?
However, since Reborn had said so, Sawada Tsunayoshi, who had known each other's temper well enough during this period of time, naturally did not say much and quickly said, "Hello, I am Sawada Tsunayoshi."
"Kurokawa Kaoru."
The young man in front of him smiled gently. He had beautiful eyes with slightly upturned eyelashes at the end, making him look like a little fox. "Since you can have Lord Reborn by your side, you must be the tenth generation of the Vongola family, right?"
"These kinds of things are all decided by Reborn himself."
Sawada Tsunayoshi shook his head desperately: "I never agreed to that at all. Don't listen to what Reborn said."
"Tsuna is definitely the tenth generation leader of the Vongola family."
"Reborn!"
"Young people are always a little rebellious."
Completely ignoring Sawada Tsunayoshi's protest, Reborn jumped onto the table and walked straight to Kurokawa Kaoru: "Although Tsuna's strength can completely solve yesterday's problem, I still want to say thank you to you. After all, it was you who prevented the explosion of the explosives."
Explosives? Explosion? Hearing what Reborn said, Sawada Tsunayoshi was stunned for a moment before realizing, "Did Kurokawa also show up at the airport yesterday?"
Why didn't he remember seeing the other person at the airport?
"snort."
Reborn reached out and tugged at his hat, then turned around and looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi with a half-smile: "Hasn't he always been around you?"
"Yesterday, the only people around us weren't Gokudera and the guy I bumped into... No, that's not right..."
Sawada Tsunayoshi's expression froze.
As if he had thought of something, his eyes widened, and he looked at Kurokawa Kaoru in disbelief. When his gaze met Kurokawa Kaoru's, his expression shifted slightly, and he scratched his head as if a little embarrassed: "Is there something wrong with looking at me like that?"
This expression...
Sawada Tsunayoshi took a deep breath and turned to look at Reborn behind him: "Is it what I thought?"
"It seems you are not hopeless."
“…”
Sawada Tsunayoshi: That’s true!
"But wasn't the one from yesterday a girl?"
Although he had already accepted this fact in his heart, Sawada Tsunayoshi still didn't want to admit it. The "girl" who had stunned him for a moment and whom he had imagined that if he fell in love in the future, she would be the same type of person, was actually the same person as the boy in front of him.
"Could it be that you have... a cross-dressing fetish?"
"Of course not."
Kurokawa Kaoru immediately retorted: "It's just my family's bad taste. I dressed like that to satisfy their wishes. It just happened that you saw it."
As for why his family wanted to see him dressed as a woman, Kurokawa Kaoru didn't say much, and Reborn and Sawada Tsunayoshi naturally didn't ask. Just at this moment, Hattori Heiji sent him a message. Seeing this, Kurokawa Kaoru lowered his eyes and said in a flat voice, "If Mr. Reborn has nothing to say, I still have some unfinished business here. Can I leave first?"
"I do have something to tell you."
"Mr. Reborn?"
"Although Tsuna interrupted the previous topic, you were actually deliberately avoiding it."
Yesterday at the airport, Reborn saw it clearly. The moment the dynamite was released, it was Kurokawa Kaoru who tossed a melon seed, severing the fuse and preventing the explosion. The fact that so many explosives went off almost simultaneously was a testament to Kurokawa Kaoru's mastery of distance and force.
In addition, it is confidence in one's own strength.
"As you can see, Tsuna is still a long way from the Tenth Generation of Vongola, so I hope you can become Tsuna's sparring partner. This way, the relationship between the Kurokawa family and Vongola will be closer, and Tsuna's reaction ability will be greatly improved."
“…”
Kurokawa Kaoru.
Kurokawa Kaoru's expression froze.
Who could tell him why he had given up his position as the heir and even dressed up as a cross-dresser? As a result, he had first run into that dangerous silver-haired man, and now Reborn had asked him to be a sparring partner for the Tenth Generation of Vongola.
No... Is this really reasonable?
If I remember correctly, he is just an ordinary high school student, right?
Don't ask why Kurokawa Kaoru didn't think of refusing. Since Reborn made such a request and brought up his past, it means that the other party has already found out a lot about him. I'm afraid that this person has also mastered all the relevant information about the Kurokawa family.
From his rare encounters with him in past lives, Kurokawa Kaoru knew Reborn was a formidable opponent. Add to that his title as the world's greatest assassin, and he'd have to be kicked in the head to confront him. Furthermore, if his father got wind of this, and let them know he'd turned down any chance to become closer to the Vongola, he'd probably kill him.
Thinking of this, Kurokawa Kaoru sighed and turned to look at Reborn.
"I'm only in Tokyo for a while now, waiting for Miya... my friend's intensive training to end, and we'll be heading back to Hyogo Prefecture."
"That's enough."
As if he had guessed that Kurokawa Kaoru would give such an answer, Reborn laughed, his eyes passing over Sawada Tsunayoshi and finally stopping on Kurokawa Kaoru.
"Then I'll leave my care to you for the next few days, Tsuna."
TBC.
