Chapter 83 Why is it you again, Bai Lan? ...
Chapter 83
When XANXUS brought him to Varian's base again, he found that no one except Levi Ya Tan was surprised at his return. Kurokawa Kaoru was silent for a moment and looked up at XANXUS.
"From the beginning, you didn't intend to let me stay there, right?"
"I only said I would take you to see Reborn. You misunderstood and thought you would stay at the Vongola base."
Taking his cup from Sberbi Squalo, XANXUS raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile.
"Would you like milk, kid, or...beer?"
"Minors cannot drink alcohol."
Although Kurokawa Kaoru is now over 50 years old, he still made a choice based on his physical age. "Milk with ice, no less than three pieces, thank you."
“Tsk.”
XANXUS chuckled.
Little devils are always a little bit rich, and they always ask for more than others.
As early as XANXUS opened his mouth, Lusilia went to pour milk for someone. After hearing what Kurokawa Kaoru said, Lusilia smiled and shook her head, then handed the other person a glass of milk without any ice cubes.
"The weather is getting cold now, so milk at room temperature is more suitable for you."
“…”
Isn't it up to him to decide whether it's suitable or not? Kurokawa Kaoru thought to himself.
Because he was sensitive to the emotions around him, Kurokawa Kaoru could clearly sense that this stranger, whom he had only met twice, was being treated with 100% enthusiasm. Most importantly... the other person truly believed that room temperature milk was better for him, which was why he said this.
"……Thanks."
Kurokawa Kaoru lowered his head and obediently took the cup of room temperature milk from Lusilia's hand.
"What a lovely child."
Lusilia laughed and reached out to touch Kurokawa Kaoru's hair. "I don't know why you came to this world, but don't worry. The leader and everyone else are good people and will definitely find a solution for you."
"Other people are fine, but how did you come up with the word 'good guy'?"
"Of course it comes from the heart."
Kurokawa Kaoru: ...
After drinking a glass of milk, his irritability was somewhat relieved. Seeing someone being pulled by Lusilia to sit on the sofa in the middle, XANXUS snorted coldly, successfully attracting the other person's attention.
"Don't you want to know that person's name?"
Oh, and this one too!
Not surprisingly, seeing the seriousness on Kurokawa Kaoru's face, XANXUS narrowed his eyes and said in a flat voice, "How much do you know about Bailan Jiesuo?"
Bailan Jesso!
Kurokawa Kaoru was stunned.
The boy's expression told XANXUS that his speculations weren't groundless. Although XANXUS had said in front of Yamamoto Takeshi that the Kurokawa Kaoru of this world was unrelated to the Kurokawa Kaoru of ten years ago, the precedent of Sperbi Squalo had made him somewhat uncertain.
"What happened between you and Bailan Jesso in that world?"
What happened between him and Bailan Jesuo? Kurokawa Kaoru frowned. Obviously, even Kurokawa Kaoru himself couldn't figure out the problem.
"I don't remember having any dealings with him."
If anything, it was with Irie Shoichi. At the time, Byakuran Jesso's sudden appearance had prevented him from exchanging contact information with Irie Shoichi. From beginning to end, Kurokawa Kaoru had only exchanged a few words with Byakuran Jesso, not even letting him know his name. How could he be considered connected to someone?
"If someone still remembers me after just meeting me once and not even knowing each other's names, then I'm a bit unlucky."
Kurokawa Kaoru's words were sincere and heartfelt, yet they sounded strangely poignant. In reality, XANXUS didn't believe the other party would lie to him about something like this. This meant that the problem lay with Byakuran Jesso, and had nothing to do with Kurokawa Kaoru.
Thinking back, when he first met Bailan Jesuo, although the time was short, he left a deep impression on him. Recalling the scene, XANXUS was silent for a moment, then said, "Sawada Tsunayoshi met him at a gathering of allied families."
As the head of the Milfiore family, it was normal for him to come and talk to Sawada Tsunayoshi.
At that time, XANXUS and Sawada Tsunayoshi had just had some unpleasantness because of the financial problems of this month. Seeing the man with strange patterns painted on his face walking towards Sawada Tsunayoshi, XANXUS frowned and took two steps back expressionlessly.
Then, he heard the other person's chuckle.
Looking at Byakuran Jesso's expression, XANXUS couldn't see anything wrong. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but the moment he smiled, a strong murderous intent surged within him. This killing intent came so inexplicably that XANXUS even wondered if he'd been too bored lately. He'd even mentally planned to pick a fight with Sawada Tsunayoshi after the party.
"Is this the Varian leader, XANXUS?"
He heard Bailan Jesso's voice.
Seeing the curiosity about him, Sawada Tsunayoshi took the initiative to introduce the two of them. However, XANXUS was not interested in these insignificant people. When Bailan Jiesuo extended his hand to shake his hand, he just sneered at him, not considering whether this would embarrass Sawada Tsunayoshi, and turned away.
With his back to the other person, he could vaguely feel Bailan Jesuo's gaze on him.
He heard Sawada Tsunayoshi apologizing to the other party for his own behavior. Compared to the Vongola, Millefiore was a small family after all, so naturally they didn't dare to say much. So Byakuran Jesso just smiled and shook his head, and the content of his words was clearly heard by Xanxus.
"I've heard that every member of the Vongola family has their own unique personality. After seeing it today, I finally understand that it's true."
“…”
It's just disgusting hypocrisy from head to toe.
Thinking of this, XANXUS sneered, with emotions surging in his eyes.
"You're the kind of trash that makes people angry when they see you. You don't need to be noticed for any reason. As long as you can ensure that you're stronger than them, then if they make any moves, you can just kill them."
"you're right."
Kurokawa Kaoru nodded: "Instead of dwelling on his thoughts, it's better to do as you said, so that he doesn't have the opportunity to think crookedly."
"That's why Sawada Tsunayoshi was killed by Byakuran Jesso, because he was just like you, always dwelling on meaningless things."
"To be honest, it's not completely meaningless."
"After all that talk, he still died?"
“…”
There is nothing wrong with what he said.
Having said that, Kurokawa Kaoru still couldn't understand why Byakuran Jesso would target him.
He didn't remember having done anything to make people remember him. To be honest, if the other party didn't speak first, he wouldn't even plan to say a word to them.
It can't be because of something like this, right? Kurokawa Kaoru thought to himself.
As Kurokawa Kaoru was struggling with his thoughts, his phone suddenly began to vibrate in his pocket. Having already arrived in this world, he didn't think anyone would ever send him a message. With this question in mind, Kurokawa Kaoru frowned and pulled his phone out of his pocket.
Then--
Then Kurokawa Kaoru was stunned.
[Father: They say you are dead. Is this true?]
[Father: Your mother and I sent many people to look for your body, but we couldn't find it.]
【Father: Are you still there? 】
【Father: Xiaoxun.】
Seeing the last word "Xiaoxun", Kurokawa Kaoru's heart stopped. Too many fragments flashed before his eyes: the first time he took over the Kurokawa family from his father, the first time he got the Chiappa Rhino, the first time he completed a transaction independently, thinking he would be praised by the other party, but in the end he was caught and scolded for half an hour about his shortcomings.
The first time he killed someone, his father's hand reached out from behind him and covered his eyes. On his first birthday after becoming the head of the Kurokawa family, all the family members gathered together. He saw his father and mother sitting in the middle of the crowd, and his own figure was clearly reflected in their eyes.
And... when he told the other party in this life that he didn't want to take over the Kurokawa family, although it was only for a moment, he still caught a hint of disappointment in the other party's eyes.
If possible, he actually wants to be a son that makes the other person proud.
[Kurokawa Kaoru: Father, I am not dead.]
【Father: Where are you now? 】
[Kurokawa Kaoru: I'm sorry, but this is the only thing I can't tell you. It's a little difficult to explain, but I'm definitely not dead.]
【Kurokawa Kaoru: At least that’s the case now.】
Kurokawa Kaoru didn't know whether Kurokawa Kaoru, who had been dead for ten years, would come back if he put the timeline of this world back on track as XANXUS said.
Logically speaking, if Sawada Tsunayoshi could be resurrected, then Kurokawa Kaoru in this world should be able to come back as well. However, Kurokawa Kaoru didn't dare to take the gamble. After all, he couldn't even figure out why he was reborn. If he made such a promise and then died in the end, it would only disappoint his father.
Thinking of the scenes he saw in the illusion, Kurokawa Kaoru's breathing became rapid and his eyes became a little red.
[Kurokawa Kaoru: If everything can be over, I will come to find you, father.]
[Father: Are the things you said dangerous to you?]
How could there be no danger if we didn't even know if we could survive? Kurokawa Kaoru laughed.
But when he replied, what he left to Mr. Kurokawa in this world was this:
[Kurokawa Kaoru: If nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn't be any danger.]
[Kurokawa Kaoru: My mother's birthday is in a month. I will try to go back before her birthday.]
【Kurokawa Kaoru: Father.】
TBC.
