Chapter 50 Why isn’t this a date?
Chapter 50
Kurokawa Kaoru and Miya Yuu ended up staying in a hotel not far from Namimori Junior High School.
Compared with the Mihua Hotel, the hotel we stayed in this time was obviously a little simpler, but fortunately the supporting facilities were quite complete. After taking a quick look at the things in the room, Kurokawa Kaoru took a towel and went to take a shower.
Compared to the two impeccable single beds, the large bathtub in the bathroom was clearly a carefully crafted piece of furniture. Closing her eyes, she lay in the tub, feeling the warm water splashing down on her. Kurokawa Kaoru stretched out, letting out a comfortable groan.
"A bath is definitely the way to go at times like this."
Ever since Miya You came here, Kurokawa Kaoru was obviously a little absent-minded about the battle for the ring.
More accurately, it was XANXUS's rather ambiguous attitude that put him at ease. Whether it was discovering that the ring stolen by Sperbi Squalo was fake, or realizing he had deliberately let it go, Sperbi's reaction was clearly nonchalant.
Is it because you don't care about the Judaime's position?
But if you don't care, why come to Japan to participate in the ring battle?
For something like this, isn't it enough to just refuse?
And as for Cerbero, given XANXUS's personality, he didn't think he would listen to a few women of unknown origin. Not to mention that the Cerbero Agency appeared suddenly, and even the off-site consultant Sawada Iemitsu didn't know when they joined the Vongola.
Then there are only two possibilities -
The first was that through this Ring War, XANXUS could get what he wanted. As for the second... before the Ring War, or even earlier, XANXUS had already contacted Cerberus.
But is this really possible? Kurokawa Kaoru wondered in his heart.
No matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't imagine that XANXUS would cooperate with someone to do something he didn't want to do. But if it weren't for these reasons, Kurokawa Kaoru couldn't explain what exactly drove the Vongola combat troops to come all the way from Italy to Japan.
Kurokawa Kaoru was still struggling with this matter until Miya You finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom.
Seeing the man sitting at the head of the bed with an expressionless face, as if thinking about some important life event, Gong You's expression changed slightly, and he picked up a bottle of mineral water and threw it to the other person.
"Have some water."
"Thanks."
He subconsciously unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip. Then he realized who was talking to him. Kurokawa Kaoru raised his head and his eyes fell on Gong You.
"Are you going to meet Hattori Heiji tomorrow?"
"After all, we've already made an appointment."
Miya You did not lie about the Tokyo Tower. He leaned comfortably against the headboard of the bed, but he still frowned when he saw people. His expression was a little helpless. He grabbed a pillow and threw it at Kurokawa Kaoru... Why didn't he hit it?
"It's not that easy to attack me."
Smiling, he grabbed Gong You's pillow. Seeing the other party's unconvinced expression, Kurokawa Kaoru's lips curled up, and his eyes were full of smiles: "Next time when you throw the pillow, remember not to breathe so loudly. It completely gives you away."
"It's really cunning to discover such a thing through breathing sounds."
Complaining dissatisfiedly about Kurokawa Kaoru's "cheating" behavior, Miya You lowered his eyes, and the next second, he suddenly grabbed his other pillow and threw it at Kurokawa Kaoru.
"BOOM——"
"...I say, this is a foul, right?"
"I never said the game was over."
"You bastard..."
Kurokawa Kaoru was amused by the rogue's remarks. He gritted his teeth, and not knowing what he was thinking about, he suddenly laughed and threw Gong You's pillow back.
"Then prepare to die!"
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
"No matter what I say today, I'm going to make you cry."
They were all around the same age, one a former mafia member, the other a long-trained volleyball player, so their physical strength wasn't too different. They kept going back and forth like this for an hour, until both began to sweat, and then they tacitly called a halt.
After coming back from the second shower, Kurokawa Kaoru rolled his eyes when he saw Miya You who had already started cosplaying as a corpse.
"It's because of you that I take an extra bath."
"Isn't it nice to relax once in a while?"
After rolling over in bed with difficulty, Gong You's eyebrows arched and he smiled as he looked at Kurokawa Kaoru on the other bed. "I've wanted to say this a long time ago. Kurokawa, you seem to be tense all the time. You were fine when you were at the Gong family, but at school you're like a talking robot."
"Robots won't play boring pillow fights with you."
“So I’m happy.”
“…”
Looking at Miya Yu in front of him, Kurokawa Kaoru was silent for a moment. He originally planned to remove the transmitter and tell the other party not to do such dangerous things in the future, but he swallowed the idea back.
Forget it. Kurokawa Kaoru thought to himself. Luckily, he was the one who had the transmitter installed. If it had been someone else, they'd probably be in big trouble, and in serious cases, it would have put him and his family in danger. Ultimately, this incident was because he hadn't noticed the other party's intention to install the transmitter. As for who was right or wrong, Kurokawa Kaoru himself couldn't escape the blame.
Is it because he gave up inheriting the Kurokawa family in this life? He lowered his eyes.
It has been too long since I last came into contact with the world of the mafia, and my sensitivity towards the people and things around me has decreased a lot. In the past, if someone touched my phone, I would have grabbed their neck with my hands.
Thinking this way, Kurokawa Kaoru had forgotten that a few days ago, he almost punched someone because Miyaji got up in the middle of the night and walked past him. Because of this incident, Miyaji looked at him with resentment for several days.
“…I always feel a little bit troubled.”
"Because you lost the pillow fight to me?"
"I won, thank you."
Kurokawa Kaoru snorted coldly.
Because Gong You was exhausted and collapsed on the bed, not even wanting to move a finger, Kurokawa Kaoru could only resign himself to helping blow dry his hair. The young master, who had never done such a thing before, frowned and used the academic spirit of a research system to blow dry every hair until the moisture was completely dried. Only then did he lower his head to blow dry his own hair.
This was not the first time that Gong You spent the night in a hotel with Kurokawa Kaoru, but compared to that time, his mentality was obviously different.
Remembering how he had vowed to take care of Mrs. Kurokawa, Gong You was silent for a moment, then asked, "Will you get hurt again in the next few days?"
Will I get hurt again in the next few days?
Hearing Gong You's words, Kurokawa Kaoru frowned in confusion, tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "It shouldn't be...right?"
What did the ring battle between Sawada Tsunayoshi and XANXUS have to do with a stranger like him? Even if he had some connection with Sawada Tsunayoshi, at most he was just a person who made the training plan. He would only get involved in their affairs if he was desperate.
After being seen by Uncle X yesterday about what happened between him and XANXUS, Kurokawa Kaoru actually started to regret it.
Initially, Kurokawa Kaoru agreed to be Sawada Tsunayoshi's sparring partner because he was worried that Reborn would tell Mr. Kurokawa about the incident at the airport. As he interacted more with Sawada Tsunayoshi, he subconsciously felt that he should do something about this tenth generation Vongola who was a little different from his memory.
He always felt that if he didn't look at the other person, this guy who had saved his life in the "future" would die in front of him for any reason.
Kurokawa Kaoru originally wanted to help Sawada Tsunayoshi get used to the Death Flame, and at the same time, help the Vongola resolve a potential economic crisis. However, as he interacted more with Sawada Tsunayoshi, his desire shifted to seeing him obtain the complete Vongola ring. Only with this complete ring could Sawada Tsunayoshi truly become the Tenth Generation.
At the same time, he also intersected with the world of the mafia.
XANXUS was easy to say; that Byakuran Jesuo was clearly from this world. Having been the head of a family for so many generations, Kurokawa Kaoru saw with a single glance the unnatural aura about Byakuran Jesuo—a murderous aura that didn't belong in junior high school.
To be precise, it is a kind of recklessness that does not care about life and everyone around.
Kurokawa Kaoru has seen many people like this, and almost every one of them brings misfortune and disaster to the people around them.
So when he discovered that Byakuran Jesuo and Irie Shoichi had a good relationship, Kurokawa Kaoru decisively gave up the idea of exchanging contact information with Irie Shoichi. After all, he was such a dangerous guy, and if he and Irie Shoichi crossed paths, it would inevitably lead to running into him. It was better to forget about getting into trouble because of such things.
“Tsk.”
Is it really a good thing to be in contact with Sawada Tsunayoshi like this? Kurokawa Kaoru thought to himself.
As the leader of an allied family, Kurokawa Kaoru knew better than anyone how suited Sawada Tsunayoshi was to being a leader... or more accurately, the future Sawada Tsunayoshi. If he didn't want to be associated with the Mafia, it would be best to wait until the Ring War was over and find a way to distance himself from them.
Of course, there are other people in the Vongola.
Thinking of this, Kurokawa Kaoru let out a long sigh, put down the hair dryer in his hand, and said, "You guys don't mind having one more person on tomorrow's trip to Tokyo Tower, right?"
The next two matches are the battles for the rings between Lei and Lan. There should be no problem on Hayato Gokudera's side. As for Rambo, since the Ten-Year Bazooka can bring the opponent from the future to the past, there shouldn't be any big problems.
These two incidents had already caught XANXUS's attention, so he might as well relax for a day, which would at least distract him. Besides, he had previously discussed plans with Hattori Heiji to have dinner together, so this opportunity was perfect, so he wouldn't have to worry about being unable to get together again due to various commitments.
After quickly thinking all this in his mind, he noticed that Gong You's gaze was on him, and Kurokawa Kaoru chuckled and threw himself backwards onto the bed.
"Let's go together tomorrow..."
"Tokyo Tower."
TBC.
