Chapter 22 refers to the Ring Wars (Part 8)
Inside the stadium, Sawada Tsunayoshi and Varia's people had arrived, but the Mist Guardians who belonged to his side were nowhere to be seen.
"Your Mist Guardian isn't too scared to come, is he?"
Mamon stood in front of them, taunting them.
Squalo used to be the one making boastful claims, but now that the captain is gone, it feels like something's missing.
Perhaps because his writing was being hindered, he felt uneasy.
"Mammon, you're so arrogant."
Light footsteps came from not far away. The girl, with her sharp ears and eyes, could hear them and immediately retorted.
"We only wasted some time chatting on the way."
Tomorrow is the last match, and it's a no-brainer for Yun Zhan. She agreed to fight Hibari Kyoya, and since Dino had something to do, they scheduled it for today. They fought from noon until late at night, and only rushed over when Dino came to relieve her.
That familiar voice?
Mamon looked towards the door and indeed saw his God of Wealth.
"Great! You idiot Yaochuan, hit this baby back!"
Hayato Gokudera thought she was the Mist Guardian and was both excited and happy.
In everyone's eyes, Yao Chuanling was undoubtedly a strong and reliable companion. Subconsciously, the fact that she stood by their side and walked alongside them was something that would make him happy.
The elf led another girl into the stadium, followed by two delinquent-looking teenagers.
“It’s not me,” she said proudly, holding Chrome’s hand. “It’s my apprentice.”
She often meets Chrome and Rokudo Mukuro in her dreams. She taught Rokudo Mukuro illusion magic when she was a child, and later Rokudo Mukuro asked her to teach Chrome.
Her illusion magic is far superior to her swordsmanship and archery. Chrome, under her tutelage, is now a completely different person.
Chrome instinctively squeezed her hand back.
Faced with so many unfamiliar faces and in such an important occasion, she was actually very nervous, though it wasn't outwardly apparent.
This child is from Obsidian, and both the trident in his hand and the eyepatch over his right eye are hard for everyone to accept at first glance.
Trusting Yokawa Rei and relying on his superhuman intuition, Sawada Tsunayoshi made the decision on who would fight this battle.
The duel between illusionists is all about deception, turning nothing into something and something into nothing, and the onlookers can easily fall into the illusion.
"All forms are illusory. If one sees all forms as non-forms, then one sees the Tathagata."*
The spirit was completely unaffected by the illusion and easily pulled Sawada Tsunayoshi back from the brink of falling.
This was not only said to Sawada Tsunayoshi, but also to Chrome on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, her students were too busy studying to pay attention, and A-Gang, who had been failing Chinese for years, couldn't understand.
"These two sentences are from the Chinese Diamond Sutra. You still have a lot to learn, you fool."
Reborn, carrying the parachute that Leon had transformed into, kicked Sawada Tsunayoshi in the face.
Mammon released the seal on the pacifiers, and the light emanating from the three pacifiers shone brightly, confirming to Reborn and Colonello that he was indeed Vipa, the serpent among the Arcobaleno.
With most of his face hidden by the cloak, Yao Chuanling couldn't see his expression, but she could hear his determination to lift the curse.
Whether it was the Alcbarenori, Reborn, Colonello, or Ippin's master Feng, they had never shown their obsession with lifting the curse. This was the first time she had directly witnessed their concern for this matter.
Even the stingy and greedy Mammon was willing to invest money in experiments.
"Reborn, the color of your pacifier has changed."
After the curse was lifted, the pacifier with the Sun attribute underwent a subtle change. Its original yellow color became clearer and brighter, which was more noticeable when it glowed.
No, you're mistaken.
He had anticipated Mamon's questioning and remained calm.
Reborn, of course, could not answer this question and instructed Yokawa Rei not to mention it to anyone.
Even Colonello didn't know.
This is a secret between them.
The two exchanged a knowing glance.
Sawada Tsunayoshi stood beside Yokawa Rei, taking in her every move. He had sensed it before, and this moment marked the peak of his observation.
The tenth generation only smiled in the end.
The most important thing now is the battle on the field. A thick fog dissipated, and the girl in the original spot became someone else.
Someone they knew.
"Rokudo Mukuro!"
Sawada Tsunayoshi exclaimed in surprise.
This girl named Chrome used the same abilities, weapons, and hairstyle as Mukuro, and unexpectedly, she really became Rokudo Mukuro.
No wonder he had this indescribable feeling.
Alas.
Yao Chuanling just wanted to go up and punch him twice.
The pineapple-head hairstyle is all about showing off.
The second stage of middle school isn't over yet?
However, her eyes did curve into a smile.
After the Obsidian War, they often met in her dreams, and it was then that he entrusted Chrome to her. However, he hasn't seen her much in the last two months.
Yokawa Rei had subtly inquired about his well-being several times, hinting at a prison break attempt, but Rokudo Mukuro had always brushed her off with nonchalant remarks. Seeing him now through Chrome was a good thing, wasn't it?
The battle between Rokudo Mukuro and Mammon doubled the excitement of the match.
A single thought gives rise to a lotus flower.
The lotus branches, symbolizing reincarnation, were so graceful that in that instant she seemed to hear ancient Sanskrit chants.
The elf's eyes lit up, and the words of praise blurted out: "So handsome!"
I still got tricked.
With just one sentence, the gazes of several people on the field changed.
Hayato Gokudera scoffed and silently clenched his fist.
He lost to Belphegor in the battle of the Storm; if he had won, she…
They still have a promise to keep.
"Kufufufu, it's rare to see Little Sunflower with such good taste."
Rokudo Mukuro likes to call her Sunflower.
In this world, he was the only one who called her that.
Yao Chuanling thought the name was too childish and kept protesting against him calling it that. Everything else was fine, but he kept breaking the rules on this matter.
Rokudo Mukuro walked calmly past everyone's gazes to Youkawa Rei, skillfully pinching her puffed-up cheeks to shut her up.
"I'm a little...tired."
His heterochromatic eyes slowly closed, and in the last second before he was about to leave, he pulled his little sunflower into his arms.
Rokudo Mukuro's figure gradually shrank, and finally Yokawa Rei caught the unconscious Chrome.
The innocent little girl only thought that he was really tired, without thinking anything of it. She gently patted Chrome's back and said softly, "You've worked hard, Mukuro, Chrome."
The two people from Obsidian didn't intend to take care of Chrome, so Yokawa Rei took her back to Hibari Kyoya's house.
She's her teacher, after all. It's so irresponsible of her to leave her student all alone like that.
"Let's go. The prince disliked that commoner with the strange hairstyle; he'll stab him to death the next time they meet."
Ever since Rokudo Mukuro appeared, Bel hadn't been very friendly, and after witnessing his words and actions, he found the man even more annoying.
XANXUS's only words were to capture Mammon and deal with him. He sat in his chair, remaining silent throughout.
He showed no emotion even after losing the game, as if it were an insignificant matter.
No one knows what he was thinking.
The Varia tyrant only cared about the betrayal of his subordinates and "Little Sunflower".
She was able to calm her anger.
So he was very interested in her.
Yao Chuanling doesn't plan to go back with them today. She feels that taking Chrome to bravely storm the enemy's lair would scare her.
The elves were strong, and Chrome was thin and light; she could carry her home by herself, so she politely declined Reborn's offer to let Sawada Tsunayoshi take them home.
Goodnight everyone, see you tomorrow.
The lamplight cast the boy's shadows together, and at that familiar crossroads, Yao Chuanling bid them farewell.
The night in Namimori was safe and peaceful. Watching her receding figure, Sawada Tsunayoshi felt inexplicably uneasy.
"See you tomorrow!"
He knew she could hear him.
He saw her nod.
*
"Mamon, when do you plan to go back?"
On the way, she encountered Mamon, who was running away. He concealed himself and followed Yao Chuanling to Yun Que's house without saying a word.
When Hibari Kyoya saw her return with two people, he almost raised his crutch to give her a couple of whacks. Only when he saw that it was a baby and a little girl did he reluctantly agree to let them stay.
Anyway, his family is big, so as long as you don't appear in the same place as him, it doesn't count as a group gathering.
He didn't care who she brought back.
"The boss will kill me."
Wrapped in the small blanket that Yao Chuanling had prepared for him, Mamon floated on the bed, shivering.
Having spent a long time with XANXUS, he believed he understood the temperament of their leader.
"No, that's not true." Yao Chuanling denied, "Your young master is just stubborn and soft-hearted."
She heard Reborn recount the Cradle incident. Regardless of right or wrong, from XANXUS's perspective, the eight-year hiatus had created an invisible wall between them, making it understandable that he became more irritable and suspicious than before.
Mammon said calmly, "How could a soft-hearted person become the leader of our Varya? You're underestimating the Mafia."
He didn't want to continue the topic, so he steered the conversation toward the rival family's heir, Sawada Tsunayoshi.
"Tsuna..."
Mamon seemed to have asked a difficult question to answer, and Yao Chuanling took a while to reply.
“I’ve always believed he would be an excellent leader, but as a friend, I would prefer him to do what he wants to do.”
Be a happy, ordinary person, laughing and playing with your friends.
If he wins, things will never be the same again.
Sawada Tsunayoshi will become the official successor of the Vongola, and together with his friends from Namimori, he will enter the underworld.
Thinking of this, the elf became sullen.
"It's all your fault."
She said.
Humans are fragile. What if she comes back and is gone?
