Chapter 58 Extra 4 (End) 1
Having resolved his own unpredictable transformations and changed into a more suitable outfit, Fukuzawa Yukichi began to concern himself with his disciple's romantic relationships.
When the song mentioned that Muichiro was her and Kokushiro's child, Fukuzawa Yukichi could barely keep his composure, thinking that the child had abandoned Yoriichi to be with his older brother, and he was very worried that Yoriichi would be hurt.
After observing subtly, he noticed that the sorrowful aura surrounding Yoriichi had disappeared, and she appeared as calm and peaceful as before, seemingly unaffected by heartbreak. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, confirming that Yoriichi was not currently with the man named Tsugikuni Iwakatsu.
But when she thought of the undisguised affection that Kata showed when she mentioned her son, she was very worried. What would Yoriichi do if Kata chose Tsugikuni Iwakatsu because of Tsugikuni Muichiro?
Fukuzawa Yukichi, who appears to be a silver-haired boy, looked like a serious father and immediately called the song aside to hear her thoughts.
When the singer was called out and heard Fukuzawa-sensei ask about this, a hint of bitterness appeared on her originally cheerful face, but she still smiled and said that she had decided to be friends with the two of them forever, because only in this way would she not hurt anyone.
Fukuzawa Yukichi fell silent upon hearing Uta's words. He believed the child was truly determined to give up on the relationship, but the other two might not share that sentiment. Putting aside Yoriichi, just looking at Tsugikuni Iwakatsu's possessiveness towards Uta, he didn't seem like the type to be a genuine friend.
Fukuzawa Yukichi sighed, unsure how to help Uta resolve this issue. Still unmarried, he was practically a blank slate when it came to romantic relationships and couldn't offer any constructive advice.
In the end, he couldn't find a way to get Uta and Yoriichi back together. With Katsuki Tsugikuni, whom both children cared about, in the middle, as long as he didn't give up, Uta couldn't choose Yoriichi.
Regardless, Fukuzawa Yukichi supported his two disciples, whom he had watched grow up, being together. He only hoped that as time went on, Kaguya would become less concerned about Tsugikuni Iwakatsu's thoughts; only then might she change her mind and choose Yoriichi again.
Because he wanted to bring the two disciples together, he began to create opportunities for them in the following period of time, and even bluntly told Yoriichi that he didn't need to go back to work at the detective agency for the time being, and should spend more time with Uta.
Fukuzawa Yukichi's words intensified Tsugikuni Iwakatsu's sense of crisis. Now that Yoriichi had the support of Uta's favorite teacher, his own advantages were greatly diminished. He could only hope that Muichiro could play a role.
Seeing his father looking at him expectantly, Muichiro said in a very upright tone, "Although I support Father and Mother being together, I will not say things that would put Mother in a difficult position."
"It's alright, as long as you have this attitude, that's enough." Ji Guoyan nodded slightly, not asking his son to do anything more.
In the past, he might have acted like the head of the family and given orders to his son. However, because he had cut off Muichiro's arm and nailed him to a pillar in the Infinity Castle, after Muzan's death, he regained his memories and remembered the cruel things he had done to his son. Feeling guilty, Iwakatsu became exceptionally lenient towards Muichiro.
As for Muichiro, he still feels somewhat awkward when facing Kokushiro Tsugikuni. When they were enemies, he didn't care how badly he was injured, but when the person who hurt him became his most important family member, he felt uncomfortable.
Before he regained his memories, he was fine. Even when he learned that Upper Moon One was his biological father, he was only shocked and didn't have any other strong emotions. But when he recalled the past when he and his father depended on each other for survival, and the experience of being seriously injured by his biological father in the Infinity Castle, he found it hard to accept, and there was a certain sense of estrangement in their daily interactions.
In fact, Muichiro, who regained his memories, was still very close to his father, but he didn't know how to express it. This alone shows that the two were indeed father and son. Kokushibo was the same when he was fourteen years old. He was also not good at expressing himself. Otherwise, he would not have been unable to make his beloved understand his feelings until the day he became a demon.
She spent the entire afternoon at Fukuzawa Yukichi's house, and only reluctantly said goodbye to her teacher as evening approached.
Although Fukuzawa Yukichi invited them to stay, Uta could tell that Fukuzawa-sensei disliked Iwakatsu very much, so she didn't want him to stay and get in the way of the master.
Because arrangements needed to be made for Iwakatsu and Muichiro's lodgings for the night, Uta naturally couldn't stay. Yoriichi, despite having lived at Fukuzawa-sensei's house since childhood and having his own room, also didn't stay.
Without Fukuzawa Yukichi reminding him, seeing that Kagura was about to leave with her brother and nephew, Yoriichi took the initiative to walk to the girl's side, not wanting to be separated from her at all.
After leaving Mr. Fukuzawa's house, Song, who was considering where to stay for the night, quickly came up with an answer and took the three of them directly to a small villa that she had almost forgotten about.
As the heiress of the Port Mafia, even though she always considers herself a corporate slave, her status is what it is. Although she usually lives in the Port Mafia Building for work convenience, she also owns a villa, which is regularly cleaned by a cleaning company. Now it comes in handy.
Stepping into the clean, tidy, and fully equipped villa, Ge said to the three people beside her, "You'll all live here from now on. There are several rooms upstairs; you can choose whichever you like."
Remembering that Iwakatsu and Muichiro were from the Taisho era and probably wouldn't know about the various modern appliances in the house, Uta decided to explain to them how to use them.
Before he could put his idea into practice, there was a rhythmic knocking on the villa's door, making Ge secretly wonder if it was someone from the Hong Kong Mafia coming over.
As it turned out, she was right. When she opened the door, she saw Mr. Hirotsu standing there, very respectfully inviting the young lady to the headquarters of the Port Mafia. "Mr. Mori invites you."
Ge sighed inwardly. As expected of the Hong Kong Triads, she had only been back a short time when the loli-obsessed scumbag leader had already received the news.
Although she wrote a resignation letter when she left, Ka knew very well that since she was back, she could only continue to be the Port Mafia's heiress. She shouldn't even think about switching to the Armed Detective Agency; Mori Ōgai would never agree to that.
However, she no longer intends to join the Armed Detective Agency. Raising children is very expensive, and in order to allow Muichiro to live a life of luxury and wealth, it's better for her to continue working in the Port Mafia.
Despite the fact that the boss, Mori, who is nominally her father, is a scumbag, he is still quite generous to her. Even if she does nothing, she still receives a monthly allowance as a young lady, not to mention the generous bonuses after completing missions. This is very suitable for a girl who needs to support her child and perhaps her child's father.
Having made up his mind to stay in the Port Mafia, he couldn't ignore the boss's summons. He formed hand seals and used the Shadow Clone Technique to keep his shadow clones at home with Muichiro and the Yoriichi and Iwakatsu brothers, while he himself got into the Port Mafia's car and headed to the Port Mafia's headquarters.
Upon entering the heavily guarded Port Mafia building, Uta met Mori Ougai on the top floor. As soon as they met, the scumbag boss said with regret, "Uta-chan, why did you come alone? I wanted to see my adorable grandson!"
Feeling a bit itchy, Kata immediately said, "Muichiro isn't the leader's grandson! I won't bring Muichiro here, lest he corrupt my son!"
Alice, standing nearby, agreed, saying, "That's right. If Rintaro corrupts Uta-chan's child, I won't be responsible if you get beaten to a pulp."
Mori Ougai, whose face instantly turned round like a steamed bun, said with considerable grievance, "Alice-chan, how could I possibly corrupt my own grandson? I just wanted to see Muichiro with the best of intentions, and also to arrange a school for him that he can attend anytime. Children his age should be in school!"
Song, who joined the Port Mafia at the age of seven and started going on missions, quietly watched the scumbag leader's performance and was certain that there was something wrong with the school he arranged. Otherwise, why would he be so eager to see Muichiro go to school? He wouldn't do something without a benefit.
Speaking of Muichiro, he's only fourteen, which is definitely the age he should be in school. I just don't know where there are any good schools in Yokohama. If all else fails, he could go to school in Tokyo; it's not far, only a half-hour drive. Or maybe we could just apply for a helicopter from the Port Mafia, which would make commuting to and from school much easier.
Before Kata could finish her thought, Mori Ougai began enticingly, "Although the school I arranged is rather ordinary, it has a very rich and colorful array of extracurricular activities, and the students there are quite energetic. It's perfect for my grandson; he might even make some good friends!"
Seeing the leader of the scumbags so persistent in persuading her, Ge became more curious about the school he mentioned and casually asked, "What's the name of that school?"
Before Mori Ougai could answer, Alice, who was drawing with colored pencils, said, "It's an obscure little school, I think it's called Namimori Middle School."
The song almost choked on its own saliva. It was Namimori Middle School! No wonder Mori Ougai said that extracurricular activities were rich and colorful and the students were full of energy. How could it not be colorful and full of energy with that big devil Reborn by its side?
She probably understood why Mori Ougai had persuaded her to send Muichiro to study there; he wanted to cultivate a good relationship with the Tenth Vongola Boss, Sawada Tsunayoshi. In any case, as long as she was Mori Ougai's daughter, and Muichiro was the grandson of the Port Mafia boss, then befriending the Tenth Vongola Boss would only benefit the Port Mafia/Mafia. Mori Ougai had truly played his cards well.
Seeing Kaguya's suddenly enlightened expression, Mori Ougai, who suddenly exuded the aura of a Port Mafia boss, crossed his hands under his chin and said in a deep voice, "It seems that Kaguya-chan knows this school, so there's no need for me to explain."
"I need you to explain why Namimori Middle School exists in this world."
Kaga said with a serious expression that it was confirmed that the Bungo Stray Dogs and Katekyo Hitman Reborn worlds had merged, but it was unknown whether any other worlds had merged in.
"Eh? You don't know, Uta-chan?" Mori Ougai was slightly surprised, then realized and said, "That's true. Lord Fukuzawa is probably embarrassed to tell you that he became a ten-thousand-yen banknote. Fortunately, Higuchi Ichiyo of the Port Mafia became a five-thousand-yen banknote, so he's not too far behind the Armed Detective Agency. It's just that I didn't expect that we ability users would all be literary giants in another world. It's a bit unbelievable."
Later, Kaguya learned the whole story from Mori Ōgai. It turned out that not two days after she and Yoriichi left the Bungo world, people from another world stole the book and wrote down their wish to return to their own world.
Because of the power of the books, the Bungo Stray Dogs world began to merge with other worlds. Ordinary people would subconsciously ignore the anomalies of this merging, but those who use supernatural abilities could sense something was wrong. The portraits on the banknotes in their hands had inexplicably changed, and it was clear at a glance that something was wrong with the entire world.
In the end, it was Mori Ōgai's Port Mafia alliance with Fukuzawa Yukichi's Armed Detective Agency that retrieved the "Book" from the hands of the otherworldly beings, rewrote their wishes, and allowed the world to stop merging with other worlds and return to its original state.
However, the book disappeared after fulfilling only the first wish. Although the world did not continue to merge, it also did not return to its original state. Fortunately, the merged worlds have remained relatively peaceful so far, preventing any major chaos.
"Uta-chan, although the world has stabilized, Yokohama's situation has become extremely dire! A king has emerged in Tokyo, assassins roam freely in Hakata, the legend of the Headless Horseman has appeared in Ikebukuro, Namimori has been taken over by the Italian Mafia, and various cities and regions have been occupied by strange forces. In order to protect Yokohama from being taken over by foreign forces, Uta-chan must do her part! This is also to lighten the burden on Lord Fukuzawa!"
Kaga stared speechlessly at Mori Ougai, thinking to himself that the strange forces Mori Ougai spoke of were probably quite odd in Yokohama as well. Everywhere there were martial arts factions bearing the names of literary giants, and their superpowers were all related to their respective books—it all seemed utterly bizarre. Especially considering that Yokohama, which they believed should be peaceful, had become a "nuclear-stricken" place prone to explosions, they must have felt a considerable sense of unease.
Although she inwardly scoffed, Kagura largely agreed with Mori Ougai's statement. As long as the Three-Times Plan continued, Yokohama wouldn't need any outside interference. She also wouldn't allow those forces to cause trouble; as the scumbag leader said, this was also to relieve Fukuzawa-sensei's burden!
After reaching a consensus with Mori Ōgai to protect Yokohama and prevent the infiltration of foreign forces, Uta left the Port Mafia building and boarded a luxury car to return home.
Holding the cell phone she'd gotten from Grandpa Hirotsu, Uta took advantage of the ride to go online and search for a suitable school for Muichiro. Namimori was out of the question; although she really liked Tsuna and his Guardians, with Reborn around, she couldn't bear to send Muichiro there.
After checking her phone for a while, Ge discovered schools from other worlds such as Hyotei, Ouran High School Host Club, Teiko, and Eitoku. She was particularly speechless when she saw Teitan. She never expected that the Conan world would be integrated into it. What was the point of all her hard work in the past few years? She wasted so much of her time.
Back at her little villa, Kata saw her son practicing swordsmanship in the yard and was still hesitating whether to call him over. Muichiro had already stopped and asked, "Mother, is something the matter?"
Looking at her well-behaved son, Ge grew to love him more and more. She walked over, took his hand, and said, "Muichiro, we'll be living in this world for a while. Children your age need to go to school. Shall I take you to school?"
Muichiro's beautiful mint-green eyes showed confusion as he honestly said, "I've never been to school, so I don't know if it's good or bad."
Hearing her son's words, Ge felt incredibly sorry for him. She cupped his face and said, "It's okay. Muichiro can go in for a trial period first. If he doesn't like it, he can switch to another school. He'll find a suitable one eventually, and maybe he'll even meet some great friends!"
"...Friends..."
Seeing the nostalgic look on her son's face, Kaguya had a sudden inspiration and said, "After Muichiro chooses a school, he can also invite Kamado Tanjiro and the others to study in this world together. It will be very lively then."
She remembered that after the final battle, Tanjiro Kamado took his sister, Zenitsu Wagatsuma, and his two friends, Inosuke Hashibira, home to live in seclusion. He's only sixteen! What seclusion? Come on, everyone, to school!
Seeing Muichiro's eyes light up, Uta said gently, "Muichiro must be lonely leaving the world he's lived in since childhood. Once you're settled, you can invite your Demon Slayer Corps comrades over for a visit. There are many fun places here that everyone will love."
Although Yokohama is chaotic and prone to explosions, the Demon Slayer Corps members are not ordinary people. Even if Yokohama were to be nuclear-armed, it wouldn't pose a threat to them. Coming here for tourism would be a good option. Even if someone wanted to settle down in this modern society, arrangements could be made. After all, we've already explored so many worlds, so a few more Demon Slayer members wouldn't matter.
"Mother will arrange the schooling." Muichiro Tsugikuni nodded gently, thinking that he should carefully choose a school and then invite Tanjiro to study with him. Even though he didn't know what schooling was like, he was already looking forward to reuniting with his friend.
"Okay! I'll take you to see different schools tomorrow, and we're sure to find one we like."
Ge kissed her son's forehead and said happily that she was very excited about tomorrow's itinerary, as she would see many of her childhood idols.
However, when she thought about how her idol was still the same idol he was back then, but she was now his mother, she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
Fortunately, she quickly realized that she was only nineteen years old, in the prime of her youth. Although she had a son as big as Muichiro, she was still a young girl. It wouldn't stop her from going to see her idol, and maybe she could even meet a suitable marriage partner!
The song immediately dismissed the thought that had crossed her mind. With the Jiguo brothers around, she couldn't possibly have any other partners. She should just focus on raising her son.
She let Muichiro continue practicing his swordsmanship in the courtyard, and, not wanting to disturb him, went to the backyard. She sat on the long bench in the yard, looking at the full moon overhead, her thoughts a mix of emotions.
She can't choose either Yoriichi or Iwakatsu, and she doesn't want to stay unmarried for the rest of her life. It's so worrying!
Suddenly, a memory flooded into Song's mind: the chakra of her shadow clones left at home had run out.
This memory was quite ordinary; it was just teaching Iwakatsu and Muichiro how to use household appliances. However, when they later talked about their future plans, Iwakatsu suggested working for the Port Mafia for a while, which surprised her slightly.
Thinking about it carefully, Iwakatsu's decision isn't surprising. Since Yoriichi is now working for the Armed Detective Agency, it's not unusual for him to choose the opposing Port Mafia. Honestly, Iwakatsu's actions are always so baffling!
As the song was still silently grumbling to herself, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps approaching. Without even turning her head, she knew it was Iwakatsu and Yoriichi. Just then, the shadow clone suddenly disappeared, so naturally, she had to come out to find the real body.
"So you were here." Jiguo Yansheng spoke first, secretly relieved.
Ever since he watched helplessly as the song turned to dust and disappeared, experiencing excruciating pain, he could no longer accept the song vanishing before his eyes.
The sudden disappearance of the song into a wisp of smoke had made his heart ache, but thankfully he remembered that it was the song's shadow clone, and its disappearance didn't mean anything was wrong. He managed to maintain a calm facade and hurried out to look for the person. Only now, seeing the person clearly, did he finally feel relieved.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni looked calmly at the girl sitting in the armchair and breathed a sigh of relief as well. "I'm relieved to see the song."
Feeling their care for her, Ge's heart warmed, and she smiled and said to them, "The moon is beautiful tonight, come and enjoy it with me!"
After saying that, she hesitated for a moment, realizing that she had just said something inappropriate. The beautiful moonlight and such were clearly words of confession. It was fortunate that neither of them knew the story behind it, otherwise it would have been too awkward.
She was secretly relieved when Kokushiro and Yoriichi Tsugikuni readily accepted the invitation and sat down on either side of Uta, naturally taking her hand and both of them showing a smile on their faces.
Ge, whose hands were being held, paused for a moment. She wanted to pull away but was afraid the two of them would misunderstand, so she could only let them hold her. Suddenly, she felt extremely uncomfortable. She was also very conflicted. Even though they were friends, holding hands like this while admiring the moon just felt wrong.
Looking at the bright moon in the night sky, Yoriichi Tsugikuni sighed softly and said, "If I could stay with Kagami like this forever, I would be content." He added that it would be even better if he had the chance to kiss her like he did in the Demon Slayer Corps.
"Me too! I'd be perfectly content to be best friends with Yoriichi and Kokushibo for life!"
Song sighed, thinking that if they didn't want to get married, they didn't have to. Just seeing each other every day made her feel good. Why did she have to have worldly desires? Being able to be friends for a lifetime was already a blessing.
She naively thought to herself, and then childishly shook their hands, her face beaming with a happy smile, feeling that this was already very good enough.
"Yan Sheng, what about you?!" She smiled and looked at the purple-clad warrior beside her, seeking approval.
When Guo Yansheng was being gazed at with expectant eyes by the girl he liked, he could only echo, "I'm satisfied too." Yeah, right! He would absolutely never give up on being with Ka.
Completely unaware of the true thoughts of her two brothers, Ge thought she had truly achieved a friendship milestone. Swinging her legs and gazing at the moon overhead, she thought only, "How beautiful the moonlight is tonight!" With her two most important friends by her side, she was already incredibly content…
Author's Note: This story has now come to a complete end, with an open ending and endless possibilities for the future. I hope Ge can find her own happiness.
Thank you all for your continued support! Looking forward to seeing you all again. Goodbye, everyone! O(∩_∩)O
