Chapter 96
"We should go now."
They were not given much time to react. Lal Mirchi knew what was happening outside the base through the alarm prompt, and rushed over immediately.
Lal Milch was stunned when he noticed that besides Sawada Tsunayoshi and the others, there was also Kurokawa Kaoru. Then he remembered that Reborn had brought someone from Varian's base before leaving. For a moment, he paused to say what he was about to say.
"Don't worry about me, Lord Lal."
Not caring about Lal Mirchi's vigilance towards him, seeing the defensiveness on his face, Kurokawa Kaoru took two steps forward and stood in front of Sawada Tsunayoshi with a smile.
"Like you, I'm here because of Sawada's situation. Just as Lord Lal doubts me, from my perspective, Lord Lal isn't that trustworthy either."
Ignoring the other man's visibly turbulent aura after hearing his words, Kurokawa Kaoru's lips curled upwards, clearly appearing to be smiling. However, only Lal Mirchi, who was facing him, could tell that there was no smile in his eyes.
"Even for Sawada's sake, Lord Lal should be friendly with me, right?"
“…”
"you're right."
Lal Milch clenched his fists and looked at Kurokawa Kaoru with a cold gaze: "If I find out that you have any bad thoughts about the Vongola, I will kill you even if you are a friend of Reborn."
"Can it really be done?"
"you……"
Seeing the unconcealable anger on the man's face, Kurokawa Kaoru wanted to say a few more words, but Sawada Tsunayoshi hugged his arms.
Seeing the helplessness in Sawada Tsunayoshi's heart, Kurokawa Kaoru blinked his eyes, and for the sake of the other party, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"You don't need to be too nervous about the enemy attack."
"Do you take the world of the Mafia too lightly?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi and the others, having known Kurokawa Kaoru for so long, knew he wouldn't say such things lightly, so they didn't react much. But Lal Mirchi was different. She had always been skeptical of Kurokawa Kaoru, so her words were naturally ridiculous.
"We don't even know who the enemy is right now? If they're from the Millefiore family, it means they already know the exact location of the Vongola base, and this place will no longer be safe."
"You... don't really think this place is safe?"
Kurokawa Kaoru was somewhat helpless: "As long as you don't stay at the base all the time, things about the base may be known to others. Besides, no one can guarantee that there are no undercover agents from the Millefiore family in the current Vongola."
"What do you mean?"
What could he mean? Isn't it just the literal meaning?
Surprised by Lal Mirchi's naiveté, Kurokawa Kaoru sighed and couldn't help but sigh, "I never thought there would be someone as naive as you in the Mafia."
"you……"
"Since there's an enemy attack, it means this place isn't that safe. Regardless of whether they're from the Millufiore family or not, the 'undercover' thing I mentioned could happen."
Seeing that the other person had taken his words to heart, Kurokawa Kaoru raised his eyebrows and his gaze fell on Lal Mirchi.
"Do you still think I'm oversimplifying the world of the mafia, Mr. Lal?"
Lal Mirchi was silent.
"But I still don't understand why you told us not to be nervous when there's an enemy attack."
Unlike his attitude towards Lal Mirchi, Kurokawa Kaoru was obviously much more patient towards Uesawada Tsunayoshi.
"Since they've only just broken through the outermost defense, it means they're not strong enough to give us a headache. It's very likely they're just testing the Vongola."
That being said, if the person who came was Shoichi Irie, it wouldn't even be a test, at best it would just be a show in front of Byakuran Jesso.
Thinking about these messy things in his mind, Kurokawa Kaoru's expression changed slightly, and he turned around and said something to defend Lal Milch: "But Lord Lal is right. Since the enemy has attacked, it means that the base is no longer safe. For safety reasons, we should leave now."
"Oh……"
Lal Mirchi sneered and refused to talk to Kurokawa Kaoru.
Unconcerned with Lal Milch's reaction, Kurokawa Kaoru gave him a half-smile, then sighed deeply. He turned to Sawada Tsunayoshi and said, "The reason I told you not to be nervous is to make them think you can remain calm even in such a situation. This will also confuse them and prevent them from guessing the Vongola's true strength."
"I see……"
Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes widened: "As expected of Kurokawa, he can think of so many things in such a short time."
"When Sawada becomes the leader of the Vongola, he'll naturally be able to think of this kind of thing."
Wait until you become the leader of Vongola?
Sawada Tsunayoshi was stunned for a moment.
But the problem is——
Didn't Kurokawa inherit the Kurokawa family? Why can he still think of so many things?
After all, Kurokawa is more powerful, right?
Looking at the profile of Kurokawa Kaoru, Sawada Tsunayoshi thought to himself.
Following Lal Mirchi, they planned to leave the base through the back door. However, they did not expect that the enemy had already guessed that Sawada Tsunayoshi and others would leave through the back door and had already sent people to guard the back door.
Seeing Lal Mirchi, Sawada Tsunayoshi and his group, the leading man frowned and looked at them.
"A woman and several children? Why are they just ordinary people?"
Ordinary people? Kurokawa Kaoru raised his eyebrows and his shoulders shook.
Compared to Sawada Tsunayoshi and the others, he was indeed an ordinary person. But judging a person based solely on appearance, these idiots brought by Irie Shoichi, weren't they a little ridiculous?
After all, this was a battle involving box weapons, so all Kurokawa Kaoru had to do was stay in the back. Watching his opponent being defeated by Sawada Tsunayoshi's X-burner, Kurokawa Kaoru's expression shifted slightly, and he hesitated to say, "Honestly, Sawada, isn't it a bit extravagant for such a small-time character to use such a powerful special move?"
"What do you think I should do?"
"Aren't you already proficient in using the Death Flame? A few random punches to the stomach should be enough, right?"
"Towards the stomach... I don't have that much strength."
Kaoru Kurokawa: Haha.
How can this person have the nerve to say that he is not strong enough to kick away an animal that looks like a mammoth with one kick?
"No matter what, save the X-burner for last. I don't know much about it, but it should be like a fire extinguisher. It won't work after a certain threshold, right?"
That's true. Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded.
"I'll pay attention next time."
Less than a few minutes after Kurokawa Kaoru said this, they ran into some familiar faces.
To be precise, it was a familiar face, but like Cerbero, it was "copied" into countless copies - Gora Mosca, the robot that once caused them trouble in the Battle for the Ring, appeared before them again.
At the same time, due to the lack of charging time and accurate landing point, Sawada Tsunayoshi's X-burner could not be fully used.
"What did I say?"
After Sawada Tsunayoshi was thrown back by the robot countless times, Kurokawa Kaoru snorted coldly and staggered to catch the other party.
"You can't use special moves like X-burner too early. On the one hand, it will drain your stamina, and on the other hand, it will allow the enemy to measure your specific values."
"Number?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi was a little confused.
"Simply put, we calculate the energy required for the X-burner based on the residual chemical reactions at the scene, and then convert it into specific units. After all, for robots, as long as the value is accurate enough, even missiles can be intercepted, and the same goes for your X-burner."
"Guide, missile?"
"Why are you so surprised?"
Amused by the man's expression, Kurokawa Kaoru raised the corners of his lips. After confirming that the other party had stood still, he looked at the robots in front of him.
During the Battle of the Ring, because Gora Mosca belonged to Varian, and he and XANXUS were not that familiar with each other at that time, he was embarrassed to speak up.
But now it's different.
Regardless of whether the man who created these robots was one of Irie Shoichi's henchmen or a member of the Mirufiore family, they were all avowed enemies of the Vongola. After all, he had served as a sparring partner for Sawada Tsunayoshi, and now, Reborn had asked him to keep an eye on him. In such a situation, he had to do something to help Sawada Tsunayoshi.
Thinking of this, Kurokawa Kaoru laughed, with twinkling lights in his eyes: "These robots... I mean, if you don't mind, I should be able to dismantle them and take them back, right?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi:?
Although I don’t know what Kurokawa is planning to do, his expression is really scary.
"It's the enemy's stuff anyway. No one will say anything even if we take it back."
"That's what I thought."
After getting the answer he wanted, Kurokawa Kaoru became obviously excited. He took out a paper cutter from somewhere and did it just like he did in the ring battle. Before Sawada Tsunayoshi could even react, the robot closest to him had been "dismembered" by him.
Shouting for Yamamoto Takeshi and Gokudera Hayato to drag the robot's "corpse" to the side, after doing this, Kurokawa Kaoru laughed and pointed at his trophy and said, "This should be a good place for you to stay, right?"
In a sense, robots are programs that strictly follow the rules once they are set. From what he had just observed, Kurokawa Kaoru had discovered that these robots would not attack each other. In other words, if you stood on one robot, the others would identify you as one of their kind.
"Why don't you come out at this time?"
Seeing that Sawada Tsunayoshi had begun to accumulate energy and the gloves in his hands began to emit a dazzling light, Kurokawa Kaoru's lips curled up, and his voice passed through the robot's control system and was finally heard by the person on the other side of the system.
"Or do you want to see all your robots destroyed by Sawada?"
“…”
As these words fell, the robots that were still making a commotion stopped all their movements.
TBC.
