Chapter 194: The Trash Can Tentacle Raccoon Monster Makes a Grand Appearance...
Rokudo Mukuro appeared in Japan, of course not for vacation...and even if he were to go on vacation, he wouldn't go on vacation to a police apartment.
He was here purely at the request of a certain leader.
"I have the memories of several police officers. I'd like to trouble you to process them, Mukuro."
Sawada Tsunayoshi's tone was quite gentle, and the request was not too troublesome: the memories of several policemen needed to be blurred, and there was also a story about a strange girl who could turn into an animal and liked to rummage through trash cans.
"Kufufufu... Is that special little sister again?" At that time, Rokudo Mukuro still had the leisure to tease him, "You're truly a protective brother."
"Anyway, I'm counting on you, Mukuro." The young man on the other end of the line tenderly but reluctantly entrusted him with the task. "I don't want her saving someone... to be coveted by someone with ill intentions."
This tenth-generation leader, who always seems to be less of a mafia figure, is always so gentle and tactful, and silently guards everything he cherishes - including the innocent and enthusiastic heart of his junior sister.
Although Rokudo Mukuro had never seen Reborn's new student, he was able to piece together a general image of him from what he had said and some gossip about his family members: a lively child who sometimes liked to play pranks and had a kind nature. He didn't dislike this type of child.
That's why he appears here.
Originally, his actions were merely routine—locate the target, implant the illusion, blur the memory, and then depart… It was so simple for him that it presented no technical difficulty at all. He didn't need to personally handle such a small task; assigning it to another junior illusionist would have been just as effective.
But now, Rokudo Mukuro suddenly felt that his trip was not in vain.
And what did he find? A Vongola "lady" plotting to beat up Hibari Kyoya...
He had noticed her presence when she first answered the phone with Reborn. He didn't know why, but at first sight, he felt that this girl would get along well with him. When he heard her say that she wanted to beat Hibari into a Hibari cake, this thought was further strengthened.
Therefore, despite being looked at with a rather strange and impolite look, the wicked smile on Rokudo Mukuro's face only froze for a moment. He maintained his composure in front of this girl who had already intrigued him upon their first meeting. "I seem to have heard some interesting remarks... It seems that a lovely lady wants to do something interesting with the Vongola Cloud Guardian?"
Chaomu held her raccoon vacuum cleaner, which had now evolved into a more like a personal rocket launcher, and stared at the pineapple-headed man in front of her whose face was full of danger, and fell into a brief contemplation.
If someone else said this, she might think that they were trying to pick a fight on Yun Que's behalf, but this Mr. Pineapple Head...
She glanced at her panel, where the mark she had long forgotten was glowing.
[Illusionist's Favor: If you successfully trick the Vongola Cloud Guardian, you might find yourself in a good place with a certain illusionist. The next time you see him, he might consider teaching you a few tricks.]
[After unlocking the trait, ??? Favorability ++, but gain a hidden buff: Hibari Kyoya's Gaze]
It seemed to be the mark she had obtained when she stole the chip, and it had unexpectedly changed at this moment. This pineapple-haired man in front of her must be the illusionist who was not on good terms with Hibari... He should also be a member of the Vongola family. Was he the one sent by Senior Brother to help?
Although she assumed he was on her side, Chaomu felt it was a bit dangerous to just assume he was harmless. She continued to hold her Raccoon vacuum cleaner as she studied the pineapple-haired guy across from her. From side to side, she felt he was someone with unstable positions—the faction symbol on his head kept changing constantly. Mimi's name corresponded to a specific faction, but this guy's faction flickered like a neon sign.
"Oh?" The pineapple-haired young man seemed to sense her vigilance. His eyes fell on the vacuum cleaner in her hand, and a hint of amusement flashed in his strange-colored eyes. "Using something like this to greet me is a very unique way to welcome me, young lady."
"But please don't worry, I'm not your enemy...at least not now."
This speaking style is very consistent with his appearance - the first time Chaomu saw him, he felt that he was most likely a riddle man.
But as a woman with full skills in intelligence acquisition, she certainly knew his intentions.
She narrowed her eyes slightly. "Not now means... at least you want to cooperate with me in beating Skylark into a Skylark pancake?"
This guy looked like he was just passing by and appeared with great interest after hearing her speech.
As expected, Rokudo Mukuro frankly admitted: "I am indeed very interested - after all, before you, there were not many people who dared to say that they could easily defeat Hibari Kyoya."
Easy or not... Chaomu was just saying it was easy. After all, despite her promise to Reborn, her original plan was that if Hibari caught up and killed her, she could just drive away and smash the Valudo.
But the illusionist in front of her seemed to want to see her kill everyone and beat up Yunque. If her senior brother was not around, she would also need an ally who could help her deal with Yunque... In this situation, Chaomu must not show any weakness.
"You saw it today," she puffed out her chest and used a very inspiring tone to promote herself, trying to lure him into tying him to her chariot, "not only can I defeat Skylark, I can also make him cry for mercy -"
This pineapple spirit looks like the kind of person who is always looking for trouble. To lure this type of NPC, you still have to use some powerful tricks.
"Kufufufufu... let Hibari Kyoya... cry and beg for mercy?"
A strange laugh seemed to linger in his ears. The illusionist's heterochromatic eyes, like two will-o'-the-wisp flames under the flickering light, examined the outrageous girl with great interest. "Oh my, this is truly... the boldest statement I've ever heard."
He clearly understood her calculations, but a certain malicious interest still drove him closer. A blurry figure swayed slightly in the distorted light and shadow, a phantom constructed from thick fog and lies floating lightly, suddenly closing the distance.
The moment he approached, Chaomu smelled a slightly sweet scent mixed with cold mist and some unknown flowers, which came towards him with an unsettling allure.
"I have to say, young lady, you've achieved your goal." The young man leaned forward slightly, smiling, and asked, "So, as a future ally, could you show me your 'weapon'? What do you plan to use to pry open the beak of that aloof little sparrow and make it sing so melodiously?"
Chaomu thought to herself how could she know - although her attributes are pretty good now, her combat skills have reached B level, and she has Zavarudo in her hand... she might be able to fight with Yunque, but it is still very difficult to make someone cry and beg for mercy.
But she certainly couldn't pretend that she didn't know, so she spoke nonsense in a serious tone, "Of course I have my own methods, but I also need your help. Aren't your illusion techniques very good? They look very powerful. Why don't you use your tentacles to capture Yun Que, and then let me do it..."
...Hmm? Tentacles?
When he mentioned tentacles, an image of something flashed through his mind. Chaomu's mind raced, thinking there might be a similar prop.
Tentacles...trash can...
She remembered that the faction reputation reward was an oversized gray trash can skin. Wearing it allowed players to emulate the can and scamper around. There was also a special skin where a raccoon crouched inside the can... and there seemed to be a similar skin in the store that required payment, but the one crouching inside the can wasn't a raccoon, but tentacles...
Her eyes lit up, and she quickly opened the store. In the appearance section, the supposedly inconspicuous trash can stood out among the dazzling array of gorgeous designs. The cracks exuded an abyssal aura, and when the lid was slightly opened, several tentacles covered in soft spines emerged.
[Special Appearance: Tentacle Raccoon Monster in the Trash Can]
[Price: 30R (first time purchase enjoys new customer discount)]
Description: Want to surprise your enemies? Wear this outfit and you'll be perfectly disguised as an ordinary trash can. When an enemy approaches, you can extend the slippery tentacles inside, drag them into the can, and wrap them tightly in love (and slime)!
[Note: The slime is washable, with no particularly bad effects, and no permanent damage to clothing... maybe?]
That's it!
Chaomu let out an evil laugh.
Even the 30-yuan voucher came at the perfect time, so she bought it without hesitation—without the recharge process, she could spend the voucher without any guilt.
"Anyway, I've got a plan." She quickly clicked on her new appearance and took a look. Noticing she'd be invincible for three minutes while devouring, the corners of her mouth curled up wickedly. "I have a gadget that transforms into a tentacle trash can. Then, use your illusion to create a similar environment to what we just saw, and give Yun Que the illusion that you're the main force—then I'll blend in among the tentacles and pounce on him when he's off guard..."
Under Rokudo Mukuro's intrigued gaze, the short-haired girl made a grabbing gesture: "Hehehehe! I'll use my tentacles to grab him in! Roll him into a ball! Flatten him! Cover him in sticky liquid! Then I'll just freeze time and run away!"
"After he finally crawls out of the trash can, you can get a bunch of tentacle raccoons with my face to dance in front of him and taunt him... How's that? Isn't this a perfect plan?"
Rokudo Mukuro originally just wanted to listen and see, but the more he listened, the more interested he became.
"It's indeed a brilliant plan... using a mindless, unreasonable, and inescapable creature to sully that proud face." He smiled. "But I still have a few small questions - although your plan is quite perfect, is the effect of that prop really that good? Trapping Hibari Kyoya is definitely not a simple task."
How dare you not believe the props that the invincible little raccoon just bought with real money?
I don’t really believe in it because I haven’t tried it myself... It’s safer to try it before starting the plan.
"We'll know if it works after we try it." She clicked on the appearance of the wearable device. "Could you please test it for me, Mr. Mukuro?"
Rokudo Mukuro had just raised an eyebrow when the girl standing in front of him suddenly disappeared. An ordinary-looking gray metal trash can fell from the sky and landed on the ground with a thud.
The body of the trash can looked old, with patches of rust; the lid was tightly closed, leaving only a tiny gap at the edge.
It just stands there quietly, perfectly blending into the environment in the corner of the corridor, as if it has belonged here from the beginning.
There was no illusion...the girl really turned into a trash can.
As one of the best illusionists, Rokudo Mukuro quickly made a judgment.
"Kufufufu... What an interesting ability." He became increasingly interested in what was about to happen. He cautiously approached, wanting to examine it more closely. "Transforming oneself into an object? Reborn has truly found an interesting student this time..."
Just as his face approached the trash can, something strange happened!
“Click.”
The lid of the barrel suddenly popped open, and a dozen tentacles, as black as the eternal night and covered with a layer of slime, shot out from it with a whoosh and coiled towards him like pythons!
"Oh?"
Rokudo Mukuro didn't even have time to react before the slippery, cold tentacles entangled his limbs and waist. A massive, irresistible force yanked him backwards, his vision spinning, and he was dragged directly into the trash can!
"Bang!"
The lid of the barrel closed with a sound.
The indigo-haired youth was eaten by a trash can.
He could feel himself being drawn into a... dark, warm, and... sticky... strange environment.
A multitude of irritating sensations. Many annoying things tightly wrapped around his body, tightening, closing, and making it impossible to resist.
The tentacles held his slender body in a somewhat humiliating position within the confined space, leaving him unable to move for several moments. In the darkness, Mukuro could only hear his own heartbeat, his breathing, and the gurgling sound of his slime.
Fortunately, it wasn’t the real person who came.
He leaned into the warm dark substance with interest, trying to break free, but he could feel the power was almost impossible to resist, and for a moment he became even more interested: "Kufufufu... What... unexpected hospitality."
"Of course," a girl's slimy voice came from the trash can. "Welcome to the hospitable trash can... Wow, this is fun!"
This was the first time Chaomu had acted as a man-eating trash can... or acted as a man-eating trash can.
This experience was quite new to her - the struggling prey was completely restrained in her arms... or mouth, and she could manipulate everything to squeeze him and wrap the poor little thing tightly.
Roll it into a ball! Flatten it! Play with it!
Unfortunately, after capturing him, she discovered that Rokudo Mukuro's body didn't seem very... good to the touch, a bit light and airy, like a cloud of mist, and would slip through her fingers no matter how she tried to grab it, which was very strange.
She wanted to hunt something more interesting.
When the three minutes were up, Chaomu couldn't wait to pour out Rokudo Mukuro. She made an appointment with the misty man to ambush Hibari at the Vongola headquarters the next day, and then she went home happily.
It was a dark and windy night. She put on her coat and squatted on the balcony of her home.
The big black cat jumped onto the balcony.
Mimi Akai looked around and noticed the strange trash can that suddenly appeared.
The lid of the trash can opened a crack, and the poor little kitten was grabbed by the sticky tentacles that swept out and stuffed into the can.
A tall, black-haired man with tattered clothes, sticky things hanging on his body, and a flushed face crawled out in a panic, holding the evil little raccoon.
"...You really are..." Akai Shuichi picked up the evil girl with a satisfied look on her face with one hand, letting her transform back into human form and put all her strength on his sleek arms, "You always have some new and strange tricks that catch people off guard..."
His black windbreaker was reduced to strips, the combat uniform beneath draped in wisps across his muscular body. The slime shimmered eerily, damply in the moonlight, giving him a look somewhere between a drowned cat and a male model smeared with olive oil.
"So you don't like it, Mimi?" Chaomu recalled the firm feeling with satisfaction, tugging at his arm, looking up and asking him, "You clearly made that sound just now... um..."
Akai Shuichi picked her up with one hand and bent down to kiss her. Her toes were placed on the upper of his shoes - leather boots have a strong ability to resist corrosion.
He answered whether he liked it or not with his actions.

The author has something to say: Hehehehe! I never thought I'd do that! I said I was going to bed, but I ended up writing another chapter! I fooled you all! (Turns into a tentacle) (Crawls out) (Crawls proudly and darkly)
I really slept this time. I have to go out tomorrow, so I might update later in the evening.
