Chapter 74
Sawada Tsunayoshi angrily condemned, "I can understand that Mukuro was corrupted by Reborn, but Natsume-kun, why would you collude with Reborn?!"
After learning that Rokudo Mukuro was unharmed, Sawada Tsunayoshi relaxed completely, and then his brain started working. He easily realized that all the hardships they had encountered along the way had been deliberately arranged.
Reborn landed on Sawada Tsunayoshi's shoulder, his gun resting on Tsuna's temple. "Heh, you idiot Tsuna, what did you just say?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi quickly shut his mouth, not daring to utter a single word. He was always very tactful in front of Reborn.
Reborn, however, persisted, saying with exasperation, "How much of a filter do you have when you look at Mukuro? Even now, you still think I corrupted him. Let me tell you, he orchestrated this whole thing from beginning to end."
Under the threat of the gun, Sawada Tsunayoshi gave an awkward smile, but Reborn could tell at a glance that this fool did not believe what he had just said.
Well, he didn't say anything more. He just watched as this fool was tricked by Rokudo Mukuro until he was left with nothing.
"Sawada-kun, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it." The monsters they encountered on the way were indeed arranged by Natsume Takashi and Nyanko-sensei.
"He who takes a bribe is bound to be obliging; he who eats a meal is bound to be obliging. Who could blame him when the bribe that kid brought was so tempting?" Teacher Cat smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescents, showing no remorse whatsoever.
It turns out that Rokudo Mukuro and Reborn successfully bribed Nyanko-sensei, a great yokai, with a lot of expensive and delicious drinks.
"Rokudo Mukuro, is it fun to play games with us?"
"That's really too much! Do you know how worried we... the Tenth Boss is about you?"
Hearing others criticize Rokudo Mukuro, Chigusa and Inuyasha immediately jumped out and shouted, "What are you doing? Just because there are more of you doesn't mean you're so great! Lord Mukuro was training you to increase your strength. Instead of being grateful to Lord Mukuro, you dare to blame him!"
"Ha, you mean we were scammed and should thank him?"
Rokudo Mukuro walked toward them with an air of elegance. "Kufufufu~ No need for thanks, just hurry up and get stronger, you're too weak right now."
It has to be said that Rokudo Mukuro's ability to attract hatred is absolutely top-notch. With just a simple sentence, he successfully ignited the anger of everyone. Gokudera Hayato was the first to clench his fist and rush forward, saying, "I can't quell my hatred without giving you a punch."
Chikusa and the dog ran over too, asking, "What do you want?"
"Are you going to fight? I'll join in too."
"A battle of the extreme!"
"...Mukuro, Gokudera-kun, Yamamoto-kun, Ryohei-nii... what are you doing?" Sawada Tsunayoshi stared dumbfounded at the group about to start a fight. Mukuro was a powerful figure who could easily overpower Hibari-senpai; fighting him was practically suicide.
He rushed over to try to stop them, and Dino, who was standing nearby, also dutifully tried to break up the fight. As a result, the two brothers, who were considered useless, suddenly unleashed their full potential and rolled over smoothly, knocking down the people who were about to start fighting.
Only Rokudo Mukuro managed to dodge Sawada Tsunayoshi and Dino's physical attacks with quick reflexes.
Already exhausted and physically and mentally drained, the group collapsed completely under the impact of this physical attack.
Rokudo Mukuro wore a polite smile, but it sounded like a devil whispering, "Don't worry, the things I brought you back to your rooms last night will also be brought back to the inn this time."
Upon hearing this, Sawada Tsunayoshi froze, his body stiffening as he lay on the ground. The monstrous image of the monster he had seen the previous night immediately flashed through his mind. "Can I refuse?"
Reborn, who had been watching the drama unfold, smiled and asked, "If you refuse, how do you plan to get back? Crawl back?"
Rokudo Mukuro feigned surprise, "You don't mean you want Reborn, that little baby, to carry you back?"
Whether he lets those monsters from last night or lets Reborn take him back, he'll have nightmares! Sawada Tsunayoshi glanced at Chigusa and Inu, who immediately looked away, feigning exhaustion. Don't be fooled by them; they're not familiar with each other. People who have lived in the shadows for so long are very uncomfortable suddenly encountering a naive and innocent girl.
If it weren't for Lord Mukuro, they would never have crossed paths!
Letting them carry me is absolutely out of the question; just thinking about it makes me feel awkward.
"I'm sorry, Sawada-kun, I still need to settle down those yokai you beat up," Natsume Takashi said apologetically.
As Gokudera Hayato lay on the ground, struggling in his death throes, he shakily reached out his hand, "Tenth... Tenth Boss, I can... I can carry you on my back."
Sawada Tsunayoshi, equally trembling, reached out and stopped his unrealistic idea.
Finally, Sawada Tsunayoshi's gaze fell on Rokudo Mukuro.
After thinking for a moment, his eyes filled with hope, he said, "Mukuro, I've gone through so much trouble to save you, could you carry me back?"
Rokudo Mukuro was taken aback. He hadn't expected Sawada Tsunayoshi to be so bold as to want him to carry him back. And judging from his tone, he sounded like he was about to evolve into a black rabbit.
"You mean you want me to carry you back?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi became more and more confident as he spoke, "Yes."
Even Reborn, standing to the side, couldn't help but look at Sawada Tsunayoshi with newfound respect. Look how skillfully he plays the emotional card and gets close to people! No wonder he's a descendant of the first Vongola boss. Well done, Tsuna! He should try to secure his position as the Mist Guardian in one fell swoop.
Rokudo Mukuro stared intently into Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes, which were filled with trust and devoid of any negative emotions. He was truly defeated by him. He might as well take the blame; after all, Tsunayoshi's nonexistent conscience had suddenly surfaced from some obscure corner.
Sawada Tsunayoshi looked flattered and dazed as he lay on Rokudo Mukuro's back, while the others were not so lucky. The strange monsters lifted them up like they were carrying bundles.
"Sawada Tsunayoshi, you're not allowed to drool on me. Otherwise..."
Sawada Tsunayoshi immediately realized, "Who would drool!"
Then, with a puzzled expression, he said, "Mukuro, you really carried me back..."
Rokudo Mukuro rolled his eyes. "Kufufu~ Sawada Tsunayoshi, say one more word and I'll throw you out!"
"I'll shut up, I'll shut up." Sawada Tsunayoshi chuckled awkwardly. "Mukuro, thank you!"
"Kufufufu~ Sawada Tsunayoshi, are you an idiot?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi paused for a second, then said, "Mukuro, have you noticed that you used to call me Sawada-kun?"
That's because I wanted to tease you.
"Now he keeps calling me Sawada Tsunayoshi."
That's because I've discovered you'll always be an idiot.
