Chapter 10: A Mother's Worry When Her Son Travels Far Away
Parents are always worried when their child decides to go to an unfamiliar place, and Jingyuan is no exception.
Upon hearing Rokudo Mukuro mention going to Japan, Kagemoto set his sights on Gin.
As a transnational criminal organization, the Black Organization has a number of official backers, including Japan.
Gin is now the second person in charge in Japan, so Kagemoto is quite at ease leaving Rokudo Mukuro in Gin's care.
"Aren't you afraid he'll just blow up the Black Organization?" Gin knew very well Rokudo Mukuro's hatred for the Mafia. "I don't want him to cause me any trouble."
He already has enough incompetent teammates around him; he doesn't want another one.
"Don't worry, he knows what he's doing," Jingyuan assured him.
GIN looked at Jing Yuan with a suspicious gaze, and after confirming that the man was not joking, he said, "In that case, let him come with me."
Gin would only feel at ease if he kept Rokudo Mukuro under his watchful eye. Years of undercover work had made it difficult for him to trust others, but Jingyuan was an exception.
"It's perfect timing that we can have lunch together," Jing Yuan said with a smile. "What would you like to eat?"
“Traditional Italian food is fine.” GIN isn’t picky about food.
Jingyuan searched online: "What's the Dal Pescatore restaurant like? I saw that its reviews are pretty good."
“Okay.” GIN nodded.
Back to Rokudo Mukuro's side, Joshima Inu was video chatting with Otoko Yuuta. It's unclear what they were talking about, but Joshima Inu was gesturing wildly and seemed very excited.
Chikusa Kakimoto glanced helplessly at her silly dog, then said to Rokudo Mukuro, "Lord Mukuro, is it alright to let the dog have contact with Otokotsu Yuuta like this?"
It's no wonder he overthinks things. Although sorcerers aren't directly controlled by the Japanese government, they have a very close relationship with it.
“No problem.” Rokudo Mukuro said with a smile, “Although the dog is a bit stupid, he knows what to say and what not to say. Besides, Otsukotsu Yuta’s status in the Japanese sorcery world is not that high.”
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been sentenced to death repeatedly.
“But what about Gojo Satoru…” Kakimoto Chikusa was still worried.
“Although he is a member of the Gojo family, he doesn’t have a good relationship with the higher-ups in the jutsu world; in fact, you could say they are hostile,” Rokudo Mukuro said, pouring himself a cup of tea. “So he’s not our enemy.”
After making contact with Yuta Otsuku, Rokudo Mukuro had already gathered most of the information about the jutsu world; otherwise, he wouldn't have let the simple-minded Kenjiro become friends with Yuta Otsuku.
“So how are we going to get to Japan? Go there as tourists? I don’t think that’s a good idea,” Chikusa Kakimoto said.
Because it is the retirement home of the first boss, the Vongola has a great deal of influence in Japan. They are also the focus of attention of the Italian Mafia. It is likely that they will be surrounded by the Vongola as soon as the plane lands in Japan.
“Don’t worry, we’ll go through official channels,” Rokudo Mukuro said. “Someone at the Japanese Consulate General in Milan will be returning to Japan soon, and we’ll go with them.”
No matter how arrogant Vongola is, he would never do something like attacking diplomatic personnel.
“The Japanese government is not trustworthy.” Kakimoto Chikusa, thinking Rokudo Mukuro wanted to cooperate with them, immediately expressed his opposition.
"I know."
"But……"
“I’ll take care of everything,” Rokudo Mukuro interrupted him. “Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems.”
Since Rokudo Mukuro had said so, Kakimoto Chikusa could no longer object. However, besides the Japanese government, he had other concerns.
"There are still people with special abilities in Yokohama. Should we avoid them when we move around?" Chikusa Kakimoto asked.
The next Vongola successor is in Namimori, which, like Yokohama, is part of the Tokyo metropolitan area. If they are active in Namimori, the chances of them encountering the group of ability users in Yokohama are quite high.
“If possible, we should avoid conflict with people with superpowers,” Rokudo Mukuro said.
Aside from the fact that the Dying Will Flame and the ability users belong to different systems, the most important thing is that Yokohama is not under the jurisdiction of the Japanese government, which is quite awkward.
Although Yokohama is nominally independent, its geographical location is still within the Tokyo metropolitan area, and various countries have laboratories in Yokohama, making the situation quite complicated.
“I understand what you mean.” Rokudo Mukuro patted Kakimoto Chikusa on the shoulder and reassured her, “I just want to see the future Tenth Boss. I won’t do anything unnecessary. Don’t worry.”
In the past, Rokudo Mukuro would never have said such things, but after spending so much time with Keigen, he couldn't help but be influenced by him.
"You can't completely eliminate these dark forces by yourself, Mukuro. You need more companions."
My comrade...
To be honest, before meeting Jingyuan, Rokudo Mukuro never thought he needed companions. Even Shirojima Inu and Kakimoto Chikusa, who were always by his side, were only included in Rokudo Mukuro's protective circle. He didn't think they could fight alongside him or were beings that needed to be protected by him.
"Are we really not going to kill that Tenth Generation?" Chikusa Kakimoto asked.
“I’ll have to see him before I make a decision,” Rokudo Mukuro said. “Let’s see how it goes this time.”
This behavior was clearly different from Rokudo Mukuro's previous actions. Kakimoto Chikusa was silent for a moment, then said, "Is it because of Mr. Keigen?"
"……Um."
Although Keigen did not object to Rokudo Mukuro's purge of the Mafia, he had warned him not to involve innocent people.
“You have suffered a lot, that’s true, but that’s no reason for you to wield your sword against the innocent.” Jing Yuan looked at him with gentle eyes and said, “Hai, don’t let yourself become the kind of person you hate the most.”
It was during that conversation that Rokudo Mukuro suddenly realized he had almost made a grave mistake.
Before Rokudo Mukuro could think of anything else, he heard Joshima Inu's loud, boisterous voice: "Mr. Keigen!"
Rokudo Mukuro turned his head and saw that Jingyuan was coming with a silver-haired man wearing a black trench coat.
"Yo, good morning, Mukuro." Jingyuan greeted him with a smile after petting the Joshima Inu's head. "Here, Chigusa, this is the record you told me you wanted last time."
Chisuke Kakimoto's eyes lit up instantly: "Thank you, Mr. Kagemoto!"
"What brings you here today?" Rokudo Mukuro asked, turning his gaze to the silent man in black standing to the side. "And this is...?"
Jingyuan put his arm around the shoulder of the man next to him and introduced him, "This is Gin, my good friend."
GIN? Rokudo Mukuro raised an eyebrow.
"Code name?" Rokudo Mukuro didn't think anyone would use sake as their name.
Jing Yuan nodded: "That's right."
As someone who grew up in the Mafia world, Rokudo Mukuro had naturally heard of an organization codenamed after alcohol, but why was Kagemoto so close to the people in the organization?
"Is he an undercover agent?"
"Wow, you even guessed that?" Jing Yuan feigned surprise.
Rokudo Mukuro suppressed his excitement, but couldn't help but smile: "Why did you bring him here?"
“Aren’t you going to Japan? Gin happens to be working there right now, so you don’t have to worry about not having a place to stay,” Jingyuan said. “If you need any help, just ask Gin; he’s reliable.”
As he spoke, he patted GIN on the back forcefully.
GIN stumbled from the slap, rolled his eyes in annoyance, but didn't say anything.
"Isn't Mr. Kagemoto coming with us?" Kakimoto Chikusa asked.
"I'm planning to go to Russia. What? You're going to miss me?" Jing Yuan said with a smile.
Joshima Inu and Kakimoto Chikusa nodded together, saying honestly, "We can't bear to part with them."
Jingyuan's heart melted at how adorable the two children were.
"If you're still in Japan by then, I'll come and find you."
"How long does Mr. Jingyuan plan to stay in Russia?" Chengdao Inu looked at him expectantly.
“I can’t guarantee that,” Jing Yuan said. “It could take a few days, or it could take a few months.”
"I see." Kenjiro looked dejected.
Jing Yuan couldn't bear to see the children making that face, so he said, "How about I treat you to dinner later?"
"Yay!" Joshima Inu immediately perked up. "I want strawberry cake! The most expensive kind!"
Okay, no problem~
