Chapter 30 (Exclusive to Jinjiang Literature City)
"What do you want with him?" Rokudo Mukuro asked curiously. Even Joshima Inu looked at him with curiosity. "Sawada Tsunayoshi knows less about the Vongola Family than Chrome Doku does."
Ironically, Sawada Tsunayoshi, as one of the next successors of the Vongola family, knew nothing about this famous family in the Italian Mafia.
Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't want to be the boss of the Vongola, nor did he want to get involved with any dark forces. It's fair to say that if Reborn hadn't been so terrifying, Sawada Tsunayoshi would have called the police long ago and sent this baby who called himself the world's number one assassin to an orphanage.
“What respectable organization would do something like letting a baby join the Mafia?” Sawada Tsunayoshi once secretly complained to him. “Even if the Vongola explodes tomorrow, it has nothing to do with me.”
He was just an ordinary junior high school student. Seeing the girl he liked every day was enough for him. Of course, it would be even better if his test scores could improve.
After hearing Rokudo Mukuro and the others' description of Sawada Tsunayoshi, Kagemoto understood to some extent what was going on.
"So, his father forced him to register for the candidate competition against his own wishes? How pitiful." Jingyuan said while peeling an orange, "It's bad enough that his father wasn't around when he was young, but he was suddenly told that he was actually on the side of the dark forces, and his friends were implicated because of it. This kid is really good-tempered to be able to hold back from beating up Sawada Iemitsu."
"Hmph." Rokudo Mukuro said, whether it was sarcasm or something else, "He's just a pushover."
Jing Yuan lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, saying, "Really? I think you quite like him."
Rokudo Mukuro had no reason to lie to Kagemoto, so he nodded and said, "I guess so, since he and I both hate Mafia."
As long as someone dislikes the Mafia, Rokudo Mukuro's favorability rating is always above average.
"Moreover, he once said something." Rokudo Mukuro repeated Sawada Tsunayoshi's vow in a low voice, "If I am to inherit this wrong history, then I will destroy the entire Vongola."
It was this sentence that made Rokudo Mukuro realize that Sawada Tsunayoshi was different from the other Vongola heirs who wanted to gain power.
He had no ambition to become the Godfather of the Mafia and did not want to hurt others. The reason he tried to steal the Vongola Rings was because he did not want his friends to be harmed.
“If it’s him… maybe he really can change the Vongola.” Rokudo Mukuro took the orange that Jingyuan handed him and said with a smile, “However, I won’t place my hopes on someone else. That would be too stupid. Besides, the destruction of the Vongola family is something that I should do myself.”
Despite still hating the Mafia, Jingyuan could still sense that Rokudo Mukuro's wounds were slowly healing.
This is a good thing.
A person who lives with hatred is destined to suffer, especially if that person also possesses great power. Once they go to extremes, the destructive power they bring can be devastating.
Jingyuan didn't want to see Rokudo Mukuro reach that point, so he was happy that the child had gained a friend, and such a gentle one at that.
"So, you had a pretty good time during your stay in Namimori," Jingyuan said.
“Yes, not only the Vongola, but other people are also very interesting.” Rokudo Mukuro smiled.
Jing Yuan raised an eyebrow: "For example..."
“For example, there’s a girl from the Flower Country in the Vongola family,” Rokudo Mukuro said. “That girl’s name is Ippei, and her master is a member of the Alcbareno whose name is Kaze.”
“Alcobaleno…” Jing Yuan was quite familiar with this title. After all, these people were well-known in the Mafia world. Even he, an old man who liked to bask in the sun, had heard many of their legends.
"Do they have some kind of plan?" Jing Yuan asked curiously.
First Reborn, and now Kaze's apprentice, appearing one after another by Sawada Tsunayoshi's side. What is Alcbareno plotting?
“I don’t know about that,” Rokudo Mukuro said. “According to Sawada Tsunayoshi’s description, I-Pin became acquainted with him because he mistook him for an assassination target.”
Although he didn't know why she suddenly moved into his house, Sawada Tsunayoshi decided that it was better to let this nearsighted little girl stay at his house in peace than to let her become an assassin, and he could also keep an eye on Lambo. So he accepted that his family had gained another foreign friend.
Jing Yuan didn't speak, his eyelashes lowered, seemingly lost in thought.
Rokudo Mukuro didn't disturb him, silently finished the orange, and then took out a bottle of yogurt.
The other three people found the topics the two were discussing increasingly difficult to understand, so they huddled together to play horror games, and occasionally they would hug each other and scream because of the particularly scary scenes.
Looking at the ghosts on the projected screen, Jingyuan suddenly asked Rokudo Mukuro, "Have you been in contact with anyone from Yokohama recently?"
Rokudo Mukuro immediately recalled Chuuya Nakahara's attack on Kagemoto not long ago.
"Not yet, what's wrong?" Rokudo Mukuro asked.
His posture suggested that as soon as Jing Yuan spoke, he would immediately rush into the Mafia building at the port and cause a huge commotion.
"It's nothing serious," Jing Yuanxian reassured the child, "I heard there's a book in Yokohama that has the power to change reality."
"What book? A history book?" Rokudo Mukuro thought this was utter nonsense. "Even if it's an illusion, it can't change reality. What's fake will always be fake."
“I do have that ability,” Jing Yuan said.
The Silver Wolf, a creature in the Star Core Hunter's arsenal, possesses similar abilities.
Rokudo Mukuro's eyes widened in surprise.
“To be honest, Bai Lan’s abilities are actually quite similar,” Jing Yuan said. “He can peer into parallel worlds, and therefore can influence both parallel worlds and the original world.”
"The Bovino family's ten-year-later bazooka..." Rokudo Mukuro suddenly remembered this small family he had never taken seriously, "They hold the key to [time] in their hands."
“That’s right.” Jing Yuan leaned back, slumping onto the soft sofa. “That’s why I’m curious why the Bovino family is allied with the Vongola family. Is it because of their strength? Or is it that the Vongola family’s power over [time] is far greater than that of the Bovino family?”
“The secret might be in that nursery rhyme,” Rokudo Mukuro said.
No wonder Jingyuan suddenly became interested in Sawada Tsunayoshi; it turns out he wanted to see the legendary Vongola Rings.
"But, are you done with your business?" Rokudo Mukuro asked.
Although Jingyuan never said it, Rokudo Mukuro could guess that he must have something to do when he suddenly came to Japan.
"Not yet," Jing Yuan said.
He came to resolve the sudden timeline confusion in Japan. Although he had basically determined who was responsible, based on Rokudo Mukuro's description, he felt that Sawada Tsunayoshi's side also needed to be investigated.
Anyway, both the Vongola Rings and the Ten-Year Bazooka are now in Sawada Tsunayoshi's house.
It's more convenient to go directly to Sawada Tsunayoshi than to investigate the Vongola and Bovino families.
“If you just go like this, the Vongola will probably be in a panic,” Rokudo Mukuro said with a smile.
In the world of Italian Mafia, no family is unafraid of Jingyuan.
Jingyuan thought Rokudo Mukuro was right, so he asked, "Then how did he get close to Sawada Tsunayoshi?"
Rokudo Mukuro's reputation in the Mafia world is notorious. Moreover, he is the reason why Jing Yuan attacked the Avengers Prison. How could the Vongola family be so bold as to allow their chosen successor to contact Rokudo Mukuro?
Upon hearing Jingyuan's question, Rokudo Mukuro gave a sarcastic smile: "His tutor hopes that I can become Sawada Tsunayoshi's guardian."
"That's quite a bold idea." Jingyuan found the reborn character rather interesting. "Did you agree?"
"What do you think?" Rokudo Mukuro winked at him, his mischievous look finally resembling that of an ordinary middle school student.
"I understand." Jingyuan held out his hand. "I'll borrow the Vongola Rings to study them."
Rokudo Mukuro said, "I gave it to Chrome."
In order to train Chrome, Rokudo Mukuro handed over the ring battle to Chrome, so the ring that represents the Vongola Mist Guardian has always been worn by Chrome.
"The Vongola family is quite interesting." Jing Yuan was becoming more and more interested in this Mafia family.
The significance of the Vongola Rings is known to everyone in the Mafia world, yet they let Rokudo Mukuro take them away so easily.
“They are indeed a very interesting group of people,” Rokudo Mukuro said.
Judging from his expression, he was clearly very satisfied with his trip to Japan, so Jingyuan felt relieved.
“Besides Sawada Tsunayoshi, I also met a very interesting person,” Rokudo Mukuro said with a smile. “His name is Hibari Kyoya.”
"How so?" Jing Yuan asked, somewhat curious.
Mentioning that guy, Rokudo Mukuro became even happier: "I originally thought that the group of people around Sawada Tsunayoshi were just ordinary middle school students. Hibari Kyoya's appearance was an accident for me. He is very strong, and can be said to be the strongest among those guardians."
Although Jingyuan was very curious about what had happened between the two of them, no matter how he asked, Rokudo Mukuro refused to say, so Jingyuan gave up.
Well, children have their own little secrets too, so he decided not to be an annoying parent.
"What are your plans next?" Jingyuan asked. "Stay in Japan, or go back to Italy?"
“Back to Italy,” Rokudo Mukuro said. “I still have a score to settle with the Avengers Prison.”
"I'm not trying to discourage you," Jing Yuan said, "but you're no match for them right now."
“I’m not stupid. Just because I can’t get away with confronting them head-on doesn’t mean I’m out of options. Besides, you won’t let anything happen to me, will you?” Rokudo Mukuro knew very well how protective Jingyuan was of his own.
He's not the same Rokudo Mukuro who had no way out anymore.
Jing Yuan laughed and said, "Is this what you call being arrogant because you're favored?"
“No, this is the fearlessness of being favored,” Rokudo Mukuro replied with a smile.
