Chapter 38 Have you heard of Vongola?
Chapter 38
Ever since he was caught by Mrs. Kurokawa and filmed a collection of women's clothing, Kuroba Kaito has cast a shadow over everyone in the Kurokawa family, and even the culprit Kurokawa Kaoru has not been in contact for a long time.
Kurokawa Kaoru himself was quite relaxed and happy. After all, every encounter with someone was never good. The Sally Beth had already shown him just how much Kuroba Kaito loved causing trouble. As for the holiday cottage—though he had only attended the magic enthusiasts' gathering for Kudo Shinichi, since Kuroba Kaito was also there, Kurokawa Kaoru had arbitrarily equated the cottage's misfortunes with Kuroba Kaito.
So, Kurokawa Kaoru, who thought this way, was condemned by Kuroba Kaito.
Kuroba Kaito: How come you don't feel any guilt at all?
Kuroba Kaito: Do you know how much I sacrificed for you?
Kuroba Kaito: What a cold-blooded and heartless man you are! If I had known, I shouldn't have agreed to go to the tea party with you.
Kuroba Kaito: As expected...people's hearts change.
What's wrong with this guy again? Kurokawa Kaoru thought to himself.
At least Kuroba Kaito helped him. He watched the other party perform a monologue in the dialog box for a long time with an expressionless face. Kurokawa Kaoru took a deep breath and replied resignedly.
[Kurokawa Kaoru: It is true that I did not tell you about this matter in advance.]
Kuroba Kaito: You know it's your fault, right? So many maids, so many dresses! I've never seen so many styles in a shopping mall.
[Kurokawa Kaoru: Thank you for your hard work.]
Kuroba Kaito: Don't think I don't know you're gloating, you bastard!
Perhaps feeling unable to express his inner anger through words, within seconds, Kuroba Kaito called. Seeing the name "Kuroba Kaito" on the caller ID, Kurokawa Kaoru's eyes rolled, and he picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.
"You'd better reflect on your actions, otherwise I will never forgive you no matter what I say."
"Yes, yes, I am reflecting on this."
After all, he wasn't a true high school student. For a contestant like Kuroba Kaito, who preferred to mince words, Kurokawa Kaoru guessed his ulterior motive almost as soon as he opened his mouth: "Besides asking me to reflect, what else do you need from me?"
Kuroba Kaito remained suspiciously silent.
Kurokawa Kaoru: Tsk.
He knew that nothing good would happen if he ran into Kuroba Kaito.
"There's nothing you wouldn't ask me for. Tell me, what do I need you to do this time?"
"It's not really a very important thing..."
"I just said you had something to ask me."
"Ahem...I just thought you were too busy, so I didn't bother you."
Even through the phone, Kuroba Kaito could guess Kurokawa Kaoru's expression; after all, he really did have something to ask of her. Thinking of the photos Mrs. Kurokawa had taken of him earlier, Kuroba Kaito shook his head, suddenly regaining his composure. "Besides, I've already made such a huge sacrifice, what's wrong with you helping me?"
He couldn't convince himself and started to act unreasonably.
Successfully amused by Kuroba Kaito, Kurokawa Kaoru smiled and said, "So what do you want me to do for you?"
When it comes to serious matters, Kuroba Kaito suddenly becomes serious.
"Do you remember when I told you that I 'became' Kaito Kidd in order to find a gem?"
Gemstone? Kurokawa Kaoru's brows furrowed. If I remember correctly, there seemed to be such a thing.
"So you found it?"
"If I had already found it, would I need to tell you this now?"
“It turns out I didn’t find it.”
"You bastard..."
Hearing the smile in Kurokawa Kaoru's words, Kuroba Kaito snorted and simply got straight to the point: "Butler Terai told me that his friend took some interesting photos in Italy. I didn't think much of it at the time, but a few days ago I noticed a peculiarly shaped gem in the photo, so I wanted to confirm it."
"I see."
Kurokawa Kaoru nodded.
When people think of Italy, they think of the Mafia. The ancestors of the Kurokawa family made their fortune in Italy, so Kuroba Kaito wanted to approach him from that side. Compared to running around like a headless chicken himself, asking the former heir of the Kurokawa family to help would obviously help him find clues faster.
"You can go to Italy if you want, but remember to prepare your passport and visa."
Kuroba Kaito chuckled, "Italy? No need to go through so much trouble."
"Butler Terai has already asked a friend to research information about the gem. If nothing unexpected happens, someone will fly from Italy to Japan with the gem this week. It's much easier to steal the gem from an Italian in Japan than to live in fear in Italy."
You've already figured out what to do, so why are you still looking for me? Kurokawa Kaoru frowned.
Knowing Kuroba Kaito well, he knew he wouldn't resort to such frivolous activity. He carefully considered any recent contact with the Italians and even checked the Kurokawa family group chat for any recent events. He found nothing that matched the gems Kuroba Kaito had mentioned. After doing all this, Kurokawa Kaoru's expression shifted slightly, and he said flatly, "If you don't elaborate further, I'll hang up."
"Why?!"
Kuroba Kaito raised his voice: "Isn't that what I was going to say?"
Knowing that if he continued to keep the secret, Kurokawa Kaoru would actually hang up the phone, and thinking of what Butler Terai had said to him, Kuroba Kaito let out a long sigh before continuing, "Have you heard of... Vongola?"
“…”
Ten seconds later, Kurokawa Kaoru hung up the phone.
Kuroba Kaito: I knew you would react like this!
Kuroba Kaito: Butler Terai's friend told us that the Vongola people will come to Japan next week with the gems. We don't know how long they will stay in Japan yet.
Kuroba Kaito: Please, Kurokawa, this matter is really important to me.
[Kurokawa Kaoru: …]
"It's terrible."
Kurokawa Kaoru closed his eyes.
If he had known that this gem was related to the Vongola, he should have refused Kuroba Kaito the moment he asked. Now, he had agreed to everything he should have agreed to. Given Kuroba Kaito's intelligence, if he suddenly changed his mind, he would immediately know that he was related to the Vongola.
Is this what they call "trouble comes to you even though you don't seek it out?" Kurokawa Kaoru thought to himself.
[Kurokawa Kaoru: Please send me a photo of the gemstone.]
[Kurokawa Kaoru: You even know that the Vongola will bring gems to Japan, so you should also know what this gem looks like, right?]
Kuroba Kaito: The photo of Butler Terai's friend isn't very clear.
Kuroba Kaito: Since you know about the Vongola, you might know it after seeing this photo.
Kuroba Kaito: Wait a moment, I'll text you.
Kuroba Kaito's text message arrived quickly. Looking at the file waiting to be downloaded in the message, Kurokawa Kaoru's fingers moved for a while before he clicked the download button. The photo sent by Kuroba Kaito was very large, and it took a full minute to download. When Kurokawa Kaoru finally saw the gem clearly, his expression cracked.
“…”
Can anyone tell him what this thing is that looks exactly like the Vongola ring?
TBC.
