Chapter 56: Creating a god allows me to wash away the evil bloodline from you...
Rokudo Mukuro had fantasized many times about their encounter in the real world. Perhaps one day, he would suddenly appear at the school gate of Sawada Tsunayoshi, quietly waiting for the boy to appear before him with the light of the setting sun. Then, Tsunayoshi would show a look of surprise on his face and run towards him.
He would stand there, waiting for the afterglow to fall on him, and then hold it tightly.
Or, he wouldn't need Sawada Tsunayoshi to run to him; Rokudo Mukuro would simply stand there with a bouquet of flowers on the path Sawada Tsunayoshi had to take on his way home from school.
Perhaps it was under an ancient, verdant tree sprouting new buds, where the wind rustled and made a pleasant sound.
Or perhaps, it would be in a quiet, deserted park, where Sawada Tsunayoshi once told him he often went. In autumn and winter, the flowers in the park would become sparse and dull, but it wouldn't matter. He would use illusion magic to create a gentle and beautiful world for their encounter.
Then, present the bouquet of flowers.
Sawada Tsunayoshi will definitely be startled by him, and after a few soft complaints, he will still gratefully accept the bouquet of flowers.
Some might ask, why did Rokudo Mukuro go to such lengths to plan all of this?
Rokudo Mukuro stretched out his hand, grasping at the sky in a daze. He released his hand, his palm empty. The sky could not be captured by him. Someone like Sawada Tsunayoshi was destined not to be his alone.
Even if they meet in dreams and their souls are close, Rokudo Mukuro still believes that people like Tsunayoshi should just hang cleanly in the sky, play his volleyball, and live carefree lives with his friends every day.
He was isolated from the dark side of this world. Sawada Tsunayoshi's surroundings were like the only pure land in this world. After meeting Tsunayoshi, Rokudo Mukuro thought that people outside the laboratory might not be so bad.
Because this young man is also willing to accept other people again.
But the more he got to know them, the more he loathed them. Mafia, those families, he would drag them into the abyss sooner or later.
This further highlights Sawada Tsunayoshi's uniqueness.
The carefully planned appearance and encounter were just the most insignificant part of Rokudo Mukuro's plan. He would cleanse the darkness of this world, in a place unknown to Sawada Tsunayoshi.
His god is so bright, so kind.
And so innocent, so gentle.
How could Sawada Tsunayoshi be worthy of living in this dirty and murky world?
He chuckled softly.
Even though his god was thousands of miles away, he was still protected. It turned out that not killing him was just to put Sawada Tsunayoshi at ease. After escaping and learning about the rules of the underworld, Rokudo Mukuro realized how correct their previous decision was.
By acting cautiously, they successfully concealed themselves from the Avengers' prison's sight, allowing them to accomplish so much without their knowledge.
Sawada Tsunayoshi is a different person from everyone else.
Only a god could accomplish all this; Rokudo Mukuro's mindset was almost fanatical.
Therefore, everything he did was certainly worthwhile.
But soon, he won't need to endure it anymore. He can stay by Sawada Tsunayoshi's side forever, not just in spirit.
"...Lanchia? Who's that?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi repeated the name Reborn had mentioned, confirming that he had never encountered this name before.
Reborn spread out the Ninth Generation's letter and placed it in front of Sawada Tsunayoshi, who read it word by word.
"The heinous criminal who destroyed his own family is currently fleeing towards Japan, and his suspected target is..."
"The Tenth Vongola Boss!?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes widened. Why would such a terrifying letter be sent to him?!
Wait a minute, he seems to be the successor of the tenth generation of the Vongola family.
He looked up, his eyes secretly glancing at the tutor's expression.
He looked up and met Reborn's dark eyes. The teacher, who never missed a good show, gave him a bright smile.
Very well, seeing that smile definitely means something bad is going to happen.
Sawada Tsunayoshi collapsed peacefully, while Gokudera Hayato braced himself on the table with his hands.
"Don't worry, Tenth Boss, I will definitely take care of all this!"
No, actually your words are just as worrying as Reborn's smile, but he is still grateful that Gokudera is willing to stand by his side.
"It's so great to have Gokudera-kun by my side."
Hayato Gokudera's response was to jump up on the spot, wishing he could dig three feet into the ground in Japan right now to find that Ranchia.
Takeshi Yamamoto laughed heartily, "You're really energetic. Well, Tsuna, let's walk home from school together these days, that way I'll feel more at ease."
"Eh, Takeru?" Sawada Tsunayoshi paused for a moment after hearing this, then nodded, recalling the contents of the letter.
"Although we used to walk home together after school, it's safer to stick together until we catch each other."
"Oh, so this is Japan. Speaking of which, Chikusa, do you know where that rabbit is?"
After getting off the plane, Joshima Ken first remarked that although they came to Japan for serious business, it was hard not to say that some of them also harbored other thoughts.
Chikusa Kakimoto walked slowly behind him, carrying her backpack, her tone calm, revealing nothing of her thoughts.
"Lord Mukuro said he wasn't quite sure either, and we should go see him after everything is resolved."
MM chimed in, "Are you discussing that outsider? Honestly, he's never even appeared in a single operation. Why do you and Master Mukuro keep mentioning him? Is he really as strong as you say?"
Joshima couldn't help but recall the scene from three years ago when tiny Sawada Tsunayoshi carried Mukuro-sama at breakneck speed. Even after all these years, that image remained vivid in his mind, and so his tone became heavy.
"Really, very strong."
Chikusa Kakimoto noticed the change in Rokudo Mukuro's emotions and interrupted them.
"Although you didn't see it, that member has been helping us all along, so there's no need to elaborate on that."
Although it's unclear what role it played, Chizuru could sense that Rokudo Mukuro wasn't on the verge of collapse. Perhaps psychological factors played a significant role in these individuals as well.
Rokudo Mukuro remained silent, looking at the intelligence report in his hand.
Namishiro? What a run-down little town. It's a wonder that the Vongola's external advisors hid his wife and children in such a small place, making it impossible for them to find out anything about him.
They didn't linger on the road, as if in a hurry, and quickly found a place to stay in Namimori to plan their next move.
Sawada Tsunayoshi sneezed; this was his eighth sneeze today. How strange, was he allergic to pollen?
Gokudera Hayato leaned closer and looked at him anxiously, "Do you have a cold, Tenth Boss?"
"Maybe it's a pollen allergy," Sawada Tsunayoshi said in a soft, nasal voice.
Takeshi Yamamoto took a mask out of his bag and asked him to put it on.
"Wearing a mask will help."
"Thank you, A-Wu!"
But he found it strange, since he hadn't been like this in the spring. Well, just in case, it would be troublesome if he really got sick, and he didn't like taking medicine.
As school ended, a bespectacled boy with a hood and his head down walked past them into the convenience store. Sawada Tsunayoshi, his face covered by a mask, was sandwiched between Yamamoto Takeshi and Gokudera Hayato, while Sasagawa Ryohei walked in front of him, waving his fist.
They missed each other at the intersection. As the convenience store door closed again, Tsuna seemed to sense something, turned around, and tilted his head.
It feels so familiar.
Is it just my imagination?
Sawada Tsunayoshi shook his head, thinking that he was just being paranoid because he was about to get sick, and tightened his mask even more so that he wouldn't infect his other good friends.
But this sticky, chilling sensation, as if being watched by some evil creature, was different.
You're definitely going to catch a cold!
So when Sawada Tsunayoshi encountered Rokudo Mukuro in the forest, he thought he was hallucinating because he had a cold and fever.
"skeleton!?"
Rokudo Mukuro hadn't expected their encounter to take place in such a setting, but the joy of their reunion made him quite happy, followed by the anger of being deceived.
That guy, Feng Tai, even after threatening him like that, still dares to make small moves in front of him. Is he just too kind-hearted?
Rokudo Mukuro's anger dissipated after he touched Sawada Tsunayoshi. Although the scene was different from what he had expected, he was still happy to see him ahead of time.
As for Fuuta's ranking, it's a complete joke.
He didn't take it to heart, but he knew he had important matters to attend to. He suppressed his longing and hastily said goodbye to Sawada Tsunayoshi, knowing he could only go to him with peace of mind after he finished everything.
Nobody knows what those evil Mafia members might do in desperation.
He waved his hand, turned around and gave the order for Chikusa and the others to intensify their search. Then he hesitated for a moment but still didn't mention that he had encountered Sawada Tsunayoshi.
Perhaps it's out of personal reasons that I don't want to share this with others.
So even when Sawada Tsunayoshi brought the Vongola to his door, he just assumed that this guy had been deceived by others and was being used as a target to hurt his own people.
But Albareno, whom others referred to as the "Tenth Generation," was a constant reminder of how terribly wrong he had been.
His connection with Ranchia was severed. He could have reconnected, of course, but Rokudo Mukuro suddenly felt a sense of dread. He was afraid that his illusion would sweep over and touch that familiar flame.
Yes, he himself failed to see clearly that such a powerful and blazing flame could only be possessed by the heir of the most powerful family in the inner world. He was the only one who couldn't see it clearly and thought it was some outcast from the inner world.
So, Sawada Tsunayoshi has been lying to him all along?
The moment this thought arose, black flames immediately engulfed his heart.
Then, he looked directly into Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes, which were filled with anger and disappointment.
"Why you, Mukuro?"
Look at this, how dare this evil mafia member question him?
After deceiving him, she stood in front of him with a straight face, even angrier than Rokudo Mukuro.
"That's the question I should be asking you, Sawada Tsunayoshi. Kufu, is it fun for the head of the Mafia to pretend to be an ordinary person?"
The flames flickering above Sawada Tsunayoshi's head shrank slightly, then immediately blazed up again.
"I can explain about the Vongola, but Mukuro, why do you hurt ordinary people!"
His friends' badly injured bodies flashed before his eyes, and even Gokudera Hayato was lying right behind him.
Both of them were burning with rage.
Rokudo Mukuro snorted coldly and took out his trident.
He almost muttered to himself, "It's okay, once I take your body back, everything will be back to normal."
Let me wash away the evil blood from you.
-----------------------
The author says: Actually, this scene was conceived a long time ago, because it should have been included when writing about 69 and 27 meeting in advance. 27's salvation is no different from that of a god to 69. Just like 69 said before that the 27 in his heart is a beautified version of himself, in 69's eyes, 27 is also beautified. 69 created a flawless god for himself.
That's why he was so angry after his identity was exposed; he felt that the beautiful image in his heart had been tainted, and he wanted to wash it away.
However, Tsuna's goal is to shatter the idol within Rokudo Mukuro's heart, making Rokudo Mukuro realize Rokudo Mukuro's true self.
That's about it. It's okay, we'll get rid of that stomach-ache-inducing plot in the next chapter. [cat emoji]
Oh, by the way, I was browsing on XHS today and saw some people recommending my posts! At first, I thought it was a friend or family member who was annoyed by my constant chatter and was recommending my posts, but when I asked, it wasn't them at all! I'm so touched ww
I almost subconsciously left a long thank you comment, but the author, xhs, usually writes about Tsuna going crazy, which isn't suitable for public display, so I gave up.
I'll definitely post an extra chapter before the end of this month to thank everyone!
