Chapter 39 The Mafia Falls from the Sky
Chapter 39
[Kurokawa Kaoru: Has Reborn behaved in any strange ways recently?]
[Sawada Tsunayoshi: Isn't Reborn weird every day? ]
[Kurokawa Kaoru: …]
There seems to be nothing wrong with what he said.
Not knowing the inner conflict of Kurokawa Kaoru, a few seconds later, Sawada Tsunayoshi sent another message.
[Sawada Tsunayoshi: Putting aside the Reborn incident, there is something that has really concerned me recently.]
[Kurokawa Kaoru: Have you finally lost all patience with your guardians and decided to destroy the world?]
【Sawada Tsunayoshi: No way! 】
[Sawada Tsunayoshi: Actually, it’s my mother…]
The mother of the tenth Vongola master? Kurokawa Kaoru didn't know much about this woman, who existed only in archives. After all, aside from this life, he and Sawada Tsunayoshi had mostly met in Italy. As for their parents, Sawada Iemitsu, once the ninth Vongola master's outside advisor, was relatively well-known. However, Sawada Nana, who knew virtually nothing about the Mafia, was well-protected. After Sawada Tsunayoshi officially took over Vongola affairs, she and Sawada Iemitsu traveled around the world.
Kurokawa Kaoru, whose knowledge of Sawada Tsunayoshi during junior high school was limited to this life, frowned and his brain started working rapidly.
[Kurokawa Kaoru: Did something happen to Mrs. Sawada? ]
[Sawada Tsunayoshi: Yesterday, my mother suddenly asked me if I wanted to meet my father.]
[Sawada Tsunayoshi: He only sends money every month, but now he suddenly comes back. Isn't this too strange?]
"I see."
Kurokawa Kaoru felt like laughing.
Because you have never seen your father, are you resistant to his presence?
Not knowing whether to complain about Sawada Iemitsu's irresponsibility or to sympathize with him for not wanting to acknowledge his own son, Kurokawa Kaoru smiled and shook his head. Not knowing what he was thinking about, the smile on his face froze.
Sawada Iemitsu is going back to Japan?
The Vongola Ninth Generation's Outer Advisors wouldn't normally leave Italy, let alone Sawada Iemitsu, their leader. The fact that someone could come to Japan from Italy at this time, combined with Kuroba Kaito's claim that the gem would be brought to Japan soon, made perfect sense.
Come to think of it, the "Ring War" that wasn't a secret among the allied families seemed to have happened recently.
"It's over."
Kurokawa Kaoru closed his eyes.
If he interfered in the fight for the ring, given the transparency of information within the mafia, word would reach his father in less than a day. By then, his dream of being an ordinary high school student would be completely shattered.
But he had already promised Kuroba Kaito, and going back on his word at this point wouldn't be in line with his usual style. He'd complained about Kuroba Kaito's unreliability in his mind for who knows how many times, and after a mental battle with his other self, he finally seemed to have made up his mind, and Kurokawa Kaoru let out a long sigh.
[Kurokawa Kaoru: Please leave Mrs. Sawada's affairs to me.]
[Kurokawa Kaoru: If Mrs. Sawada gets too excited or starts dressing up suddenly, please remember to tell me.]
[Sawada Tsunayoshi: My mother is very emotional? Why?]
[Kurokawa Kaoru: This is just a preliminary guess, and there is no way to confirm it specifically.]
After not seeing each other for years, and despite the monthly payments, there was no way to fill the emotional void left in their relationship, Nana Sawada would definitely act differently now that her lover had returned. As long as he could confirm the date of Sawada Iemitsu's return, he could take Kuroba Kaito to confirm whether the Vongola ring was the gem the Vongola wanted before the ring battle began.
"I made this decision at the risk of being discovered by my father. If the final result is not what I expected, you have to compensate me well, asshole."
Looking at Tsunayoshi Sawada in the small window who seriously promised to always pay attention to Nana Sawada's condition, Kurokawa Kaoru shook his head, and waves appeared in his eyes.
"The Battle for the Ring..."
If I remember correctly, the ninth generation of Vongola also overdrew his life in advance because of this incident, and this was also the main reason why Tsunayoshi Sawada took over Vongola from the other party early on.
If he could save the ninth Vongola leader—
"What are you thinking about?"
Kurokawa Kaoru smiled and shook his head, dismissing the idea in his mind.
It was already difficult to steal the ring from Sawada Iemitsu, so he should think about how to return the ring if it was not the gem that Kuroba Kaito wanted.
“…”
Although he felt that it must not be the case.
In a coffee shop near Namimori-cho subway station, two pretty girls sat together with their heads touching, excitedly discussing something.
They were wearing uniforms from an unknown school, their off-white stockings perfectly enveloping their legs, making it hard to look away once you'd set eyes on them. The girl sitting closer to the corner had waist-length hair, while the girl next to her, whose hair only reached her shoulders, was clearly feeling awkward, looking at the other person hesitantly, as if about to say something.
"That expression is so ugly, Hei Yu."
If someone walked by at this moment, they would definitely notice that the girl who attracted everyone's attention was actually speaking a boy's voice. Glancing helplessly at her companions, the "girl" sighed and reached out to tuck her scattered hair behind her ear.
"The Mafia is very sensitive. If you're so nervous, they'll easily find out."
"Isn't it because the skirt you prepared is too short?"
The "girl" named Hei Yu said with a sullen face and a ferocious expression, "It's so short... I only have a pair of boxer briefs underneath. It feels cold when the wind blows. I'm worried that a gust of wind will expose me."
"I have safety pants prepared."
"It's summer! Wearing something like that under a skirt is pure torture! Do you want me to die of heat?"
"Now you know how difficult it is for those girls?"
Glancing at the "girl"—actually, Kuroba Kaito—with a half-smile, Kurokawa Kaoru stretched and said lightly, "Now that you know, don't talk about perfectionism next time. At least in this regard, your disguise skills can't reach perfection."
Kuroba Kaito nodded resignedly: "I'll remember that."
According to information obtained by Kuroba Kaito, the gem would appear at the Namimori-cho subway station at 3:00 PM. Given the importance of such a thing, Kurokawa Kaoru didn't believe the Vongola would release the news so openly. However, Sawada Tsunayoshi also mentioned that Sawada Nana had been acting a bit excited since last night, and for a moment, Kurokawa Kaoru became unsure.
The War of the Ring usually resulted from a dispute between the leader and outside advisors over the succession issue. Neither side could convince the other to accept their point of view, so this method was the only way to determine the final candidate.
The fact that everyone was informed of the ring's arrival in Japan from Italy with such fanfare was either because the Vongola was confident that Iemitsu Sawada would never be allowed to take the ring from them, or it was a deliberate act, intended to make people believe that this carefully guarded gem, brought all the way to Japan, was the ring worthy of the Vongola heir.
"It's a headache."
Kurokawa Kaoru scratched his head.
As allied families, they only need to remember to follow the Vongola. As for why Sawada Tsunayoshi became the tenth generation of the Vongola family and what efforts he made to become the tenth generation, few people actually pay attention to it.
In addition, Kurokawa Kaoru would not take the initiative to learn about things that he was not interested in, and even if he heard someone talk about it, he would quickly forget it. Therefore, he did not know much about the battle for the ring that only existed in his memory.
Unlike the selection of Japan's Prime Minister, the Mafia's selection of a leader is very simple and crude: the candidate must have Vongola blood. The ninth Vongola leader was an old man with no interest in love. Considering that the Vongola ring could only be used by descendants of the Vongola family, they eventually set their sights on Sawada Tsunayoshi, the son of Sawada Iemitsu.
Unlike Kurokawa Kaoru, Sawada Tsunayoshi was chosen completely without his knowledge. To help him grow quickly, the Ninth Generation even asked the world's number one assassin, Reborn, to be his tutor. Fortunately, Sawada Tsunayoshi was a man of great courage, which prevented the Vongola family's succession from ending with him.
"Kurokawa..."
“…”
If you think about it carefully, this behavior is completely forced buying and selling. If he were Sawada Tsunayoshi, he would have taken revenge on society long ago.
"I said Kurokawa..."
The ninth generation head of the Vongola should be thankful that Tsunayoshi Sawada was well taught by Nana Sawada. Such a large family was casually handed over to a child, and not only was he not crushed by the heavy burden, but he also made the once fragmented Vongola become more united.
"Honestly, Kurokawa, listen to me first..."
If the first generation of Vongola saw this in heaven, he would probably laugh with joy.
"black……"
"What on earth have you been talking about since just now?"
Kurokawa Kaoru's brow furrowed as his thoughts were interrupted again. He turned to look at Kuroba Kaito and said, "There are still ten minutes until the next subway arrives at Namimori Town. Unless the enemy drops from the sky, we don't have to worry at all."
"It's surrendered..."
"What dropped?"
He had no idea what Kuroba Kaito was saying. He looked at the ferocious expression on the other person's face and waved his hand in front of him. When he saw the person looking at him, Kurokawa Kaoru said, "Calm down for a moment, or I won't be able to understand you."
"Didn't you just say it? Falling from the sky."
Looking behind Kurokawa Kaoru with a look of despair, Kuroba Kaito took a deep breath, and his words were clearly heard: "It really fell from the sky."
“…”
What fell from the sky?
Kurokawa Kaoru was stunned for a moment, then figured out what Kuroba Kaito had said and quickly turned his head away.
And just as he turned his head, a young man with strange blue flames on his head and a box with the Vongola logo in his arms fell heavily to the ground outside the coffee shop.
just--
Right in front of Kurokawa Kaoru.
TBC.
