Conquer the world, young man!

"That strange woman?" Enkidu frowned slightly, not having a good impression of the shikigami that used to be by Totsuka's side. "She's probably hanging out with a bunch of yokai now. Last time, Natori Shuichi, who wanted to come looking for you, seemed to say that 'your shikigami is getting along well with Natsume's friends'?"

This time, Totsuka was genuinely smiling with ease and joy. Regardless, everyone seemed to have found their own path. As for Tsuna and the others, perhaps they were already at the Mafia's base in Italy? With this in mind, Totsuka began casually chatting with old friends he hadn't seen in a long time, catching up on their recent lives.

"It's getting late, so I'll go and rest now." Totsuka yawned softly and stood up. He was definitely more comfortable with Gilles and Enkidu now than before. Well, to be honest, as long as emotions weren't involved, they were still the same as they were in ancient Babylon.

“Then you’d better watch out for Gil.” Enkidu chuckled lightly, saying with a hint of teasing, “After all, that guy hasn’t given up yet, but with your abilities, I shouldn’t need to worry about you.”

Gilgamesh, standing beside him, smiled slightly, regaining his domineering air. "What a joke. If Randy saw me now, he'd probably throw himself at me. After all, there's only one person in the world who dotes on him like I do."

Totsuka chuckled. This guy must have let go. Seeing Gil say those words so easily made him really happy.

"Alright, the room is still the same. Randy, go and rest." Enkidu gave his final summary, watching as Totsuka walked upstairs with practiced ease. Only after his figure disappeared did he turn his attention to Gilgamesh.

"It seems you did quite well this time." Enkidu smiled with satisfaction at Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh raised an eyebrow slightly, but his smile now carried a hint of sarcasm. "That Red King, even without my intervention, seems destined for self-destruction."

"So you're choosing to wait and see instead of provoking Randy?" Enkidu shrugged, but his tone was probing. "You know, even if the Sword of Damocles of the Red King Suoh Mikoto is damaged, it will never be damaged if he can control it himself."

"Hmph, that just means he's lucky." Gilgamesh sneered. "At least I can't do anything. If Randy really leaves, it would be a loss for me."

“You are indeed much more composed than before, Gil.” Enkidu also walked upstairs, looking at his friend, his smile deepening slightly. “I wish you all the best.”

"Heh, that goes without saying." Gilgamesh turned off the TV he had just turned on and went upstairs.

After Totsuka had a good night's sleep and woke up, he checked his remaining days once again, shared breakfast with Gilles and Enkidu, and spent some time with them. During this time, he saw Diarmuid, who had returned home. Diarmuid had adapted to life in the mortal world quite well, but his respectful attitude towards him remained unchanged.

During these days, he even encountered Natori Shuichi and went on exorcism missions with him. Of course, they both let harmless little yokai go. While with Natsume, he also encountered all sorts of small yokai. The Book of Friends that Natsume originally possessed, which belonged to his grandmother, had all the yokai's names returned to them. However, he now had his own Book of Friends, recording the friendships between his yokai, and his cat was always by his side.

Everyone in HOMRA got along very well, and Totsuka also saw Fushimi Saruhiko, who had now become a member of the Blue King's clan. Naturally, Totsuka also met the Blue King, Munakata Reisi.

He was a man almost the complete opposite of Suoh Mikoto in personality. As the Blue King, the fourth monarch, he was a calm and rational person, and one could say he was a true king who shouldered responsibility and obligations. Before the Blue King was chosen, Scepter 4, under the control of Mitsuchi Takashi, was completely in a state of 'stray dogs'. But since the appearance of Munakata Reisi, who became the Blue King, he immediately reorganized Scepter 4 and developed it into the organization it is today, surpassing the government in maintaining order and possessing extraordinary capabilities.

Scepter4 handles all the crimes committed by superpowered individuals, since ordinary police officers can only deal with ordinary criminals, but dealing with superpowered individuals becomes their duty.

In contrast, the HOMRA, a group of people who gathered together and acted recklessly, was in a completely different state from the Blue King's clan. When Totsuka happened to be wandering around alone, he encountered such a group of people. After silently stopping to observe, he didn't expect the Blue King to take the initiative to greet him.

"Totsuka Tatara, one of the three members of the Red Group." Munakata Reisi pushed up his glasses and walked straight toward the person he saw. Both his walking posture and the sword at his waist exuded a unique aura.

Totsuka believed that Munakata Reisi possessed a noble air, similar to that of a soldier or knight. Behind him followed a strikingly beautiful blonde woman with a cold expression; this was likely Awashima Seri, the Blue King's second-in-command. Beside Awashima was Totsuka's former companion, now working for the Tokyo Legal Affairs Bureau's Family Registration Division, Section 4, Scepter 4.

While understanding that Fushimi would join the Blue King's clan, no one would be happy to see a comrade leave. Totsuka had sensed this ever since Fushimi joined HOMRA; the only person Fushimi cared about was Yata. Fushimi couldn't adapt to the atmosphere of HOMRA. Especially Suoh Mikoto's abilities—Fushimi probably feared them at some point. Unlike him, Yata's reverence for Mikoto was almost like a religion, which Fushimi likely couldn't accept either. This guy is truly a headache. Is he deliberately trying to hurt Yata's feelings by doing this, or is he intentionally trying to attract Yata's attention?

Totsuka's mind wandered, then he smiled and said to the group, "I didn't expect to run into the Azure King's clan. Has another crime committed by a superpowered individual occurred here?"

"It's been resolved." Munakata Reisi's lips curled into a strange smile. "I didn't expect to see only you. The Red King isn't by your side?"

"..." Totsuka felt a little confused for a moment. Why did it feel like the Blue King was very interested in him and Suoh Mikoto? However, after seeing Fushimi look around at him, he immediately said to Munakata, "Fushimi is really grateful to you for taking care of him, Blue King. He didn't cause any trouble in Scepter 4, did he?"

Totsuka's tone completely treated Fushimi like a clueless family member, which made Fushimi's expression stiffen. Munakata Reisi, however, nodded nonchalantly and said, "Fushimi's abilities are quite good. Scepter4 is very honored to have such a member."

"That's fine, but this guy is a bit unmotivated and lazy." Totsuka casually talked about Fushimi's temperament to Munakata Reisi. "In the end, he's just a clumsy person who doesn't understand his own feelings at all. He treated Scepter 4 as training. Seeing you, Blue King, I'm relieved."

Munakata Reisi glanced at Fushimi Saruhiko at Totsuka's words, only to find that the man dared not refute Totsuka Tatara. This scene made him pay more attention to the person in front of him, and he felt a certain fondness for him. Unlike the almost antagonistic Red King Suoh Mikoto, Totsuka Tatara truly lived up to his reputation as a highly popular singer. Being with the Red King was indeed very special.

"I never expected that I would also possess such a reassuring quality. How about we go for a cup of tea?" Facing a member of the opposing clan, the Blue King Munakata Reisi made such an invitation quite frankly. "If you would like to talk to Fushimi a little more, that would be fine too."

"Chief!" Seri Awashima, standing behind Reisi Munakata, finally spoke up, somewhat displeased. Putting aside how famous the man before her was, his relationship with the Red King alone was enough to tell her to keep her distance. And yet her chief was so interested in inviting such a troublesome person; she didn't want to see Scepter 4 descend into chaos.

Munakata Reisi curled the corners of his mouth, ignoring the seemingly opposing voices behind him, and fixed his gaze on Totsuka.

Totsuka spread his hands, looking apologetic. "I'm afraid there won't be a chance today. I have to rush to HOMRA. Seeing the Blue King and Fushimi is already pretty good for me." Totsuka then nodded to Awashima behind Munakata Reisi. "Of course, Awashima-san is also welcome to come to HOMRA anytime. We would love to have you."

Seri Awashima raised an eyebrow but remained silent.

Munakata Reisi showed no disappointment, as if he had expected the other to reject his proposal. He simply chuckled and said, "In that case, I hope there will be another opportunity next time."

"Mm." Totsuka nodded and waved to the group. "Then goodbye, and..."

Totsuka turned her gaze to Fushimi Saruhiko, speaking in a friendly and familiar tone, as if greeting an old friend, "Fushimi, even when you're not working, you should come back and visit. After all, Yata in HOMRA often thinks about you and calls you 'stinky monkey'."

Fushimi Saruhiko's face twitched again, and he turned his head away from Totsuka, which made Totsuka shrug and sigh helplessly, "Hey, don't wait until you miss out to regret it. Just think of me as the kind of person who worries too much."

After saying that, Totsuka and the others walked past each other, and he said lightly, "After all, there aren't enough tomorrows to waste..."

Fushimi Saruhiko only came to his senses after Totsuka had walked away. Meanwhile, the Blue King Munakata Reisi in front of him stroked his chin and said softly, "Looks like he's quite an interesting fellow indeed."

“He’s just a strange person.” Fushimi Saruhiko deliberately ignored his unease; he felt that Totsuka’s words just now carried a sense of parting.

After his chance encounter with the Blue King clan, Totsuka finally arrived at the HOMRA bar. He had been somewhat surprised that the Blue King had invited him, but he quickly realized why. He had forgotten the title of 'Man Favored by the King,' which he was forced to carry. The Blue King, as the fourth ruler, was probably influenced by this title.

[The host actually thinks that way? Well, that's part of the reason, you know.]

The system's indifferent attitude annoyed Totsuka. Perhaps because his death was drawing ever closer, he could only hope the system would give him more points, and he stopped complaining about it as he used to.

[If the host wants to complain, that's fine too. After all, we've spent so much time together, the host can definitely get closer to this system. Of course, this kind of closeness is definitely not as close as the intimacy between this system and the great Tom Sue god.]

Who wants to compare themselves to the great Tom Sue! Totsuka finally couldn't help but complain. Has that singing god still not completed his mission three years later? There should be some news by now.

[Regarding the God of Song's mission, it will be automatically completed once the host meets the condition of 'death'.]

What kind of logic is this? Does death solve everything now?

[Does the host not know that only the dead can be remembered forever? The host's achievements in music are already quite remarkable. Once 'dead,' he will naturally achieve unparalleled success and become a singing god.]

So, after he dies, his points should be enough to pay for upgrading the earring, right? Otherwise, he won't rest in peace!

[Of course, you can rest assured, host. This system is trustworthy.]

After severing his connection with the system, Totsuka spent another precious day with everyone in HOMRA. However, as he prepared to leave tonight, a heavy rain began to fall outside.

"I didn't expect it to rain at this time." Totsuka looked at the overcast sky, waved to Kusanagi who had seen him off, and said, "Kusanagi-nii, I'm going home now."

"Take the umbrella." When Kusanagi Izumo saw that it was going to rain, he took an umbrella from the bar and handed it to Totsuka. "If you get caught in the rain in this season, you'll catch a cold."

"Kusanagi-nii is just like an old woman." Totsuka said this, but he laughed heartily as he accepted the umbrella.

"Idiot, be careful on your way back." Kusanagi Izumo said this, then muttered after watching Totsuka leave, "It's been so long, and this guy still hasn't decided to stay here?"

Walking alone in the rain with an umbrella, Tokusatsu's mood, like the rainy day, became somewhat melancholic. With only a month left until the deadline, the system gave him an order: to take a camera and shoot night scenes whenever he had free time, usually in deserted places like rooftops, essentially waiting to be killed by the Colorless King.

I never imagined that I would be killed, and that I would have to willingly offer myself up to be killed. It's truly a ridiculous situation.

The raindrops pounded heavily on the ground. Totsuka felt that perhaps because he was thinking about his impending death, his thoughts hadn't caught up when someone knocked his umbrella over.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to run into you here." The one who spoke was a man with shiny hair slicked back with hair wax, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, looking like the leader of some organization. Beside him was a bald man with a scar on his face.

"The Red King's man, the famous singer Randy, or rather, Totsuka Tatara." The two men surrounded Totsuka, revealing malicious smiles. "The person who has always been so closely guarded, we can finally see him today."

“Um…” Totsuka looked at the two men and took a few steps back. This retreat only made the smiles on the two men's faces widen.

The moment the two relaxed, Totsuka immediately ran in one direction. After all, you can't deal with this kind of person on the street. Thinking this, Totsuka dashed towards the abandoned building, deliberately slowing down so that the two behind him could follow him into a deserted area.

After running into the building, Totsuka pretended to fall to the ground, watching as the man chasing after him grabbed his arm, while his other hand gathered flames and ignited them. Just as he was about to vent his pent-up anger on these two ill-intentioned men, a 'bang' sound came from behind him, which made him immediately put away the flames and look back.

Sitting inside this abandoned building was a handsome man with long, dark blue hair tied up. He wore a long trench coat, and even just sitting there, his slender figure was evident. In his hand, he held a samurai sword.

“I can’t pretend I didn’t see them ganging up on us.” The delicate-looking man stood up, holding his katana.

When Totsuka saw this person, he blinked in surprise, as if he had met someone he had never expected.

"Who, who are you?" Just when they thought they were about to succeed, the two men encountered someone who was blocking their way and immediately questioned him.

"I can tell right from wrong!" The handsome man didn't argue with those guys any further; he simply attacked and beat them both black and blue.

This caused the two people Totsuka had intended to deal with to stumble away from the scene. While feeling a little regretful, Totsuka immediately thanked the person, "Thank you so much for your help."

"Cough cough..." The man coughed at this moment, and his face was flushed with an abnormal redness.

"You don't look too good." Only after Totsuka said this did the person who had 'saved' him collapse on top of him.

"Looks like he has a high fever." Reaching out to touch the man's forehead, Totsuka found a mattress and bed in the building and settled him on it.

He soaked a cloth in water and placed it on the man's forehead. Although the building was abandoned, thankfully the water around it hadn't stopped flowing. He sat cross-legged beside the familiar man. He heard him murmur, "Master Yi Yan, thank you, hehe..."

"This is pure fantasy! I never expected to run into Yatogami Kuroh, a member of the Colorless King's clan, Miwa Ichigen." Totsuka sighed as he watched the guy calling out his king's name in his sleep.

He got up and went to the pharmacy and supermarket, buying canned peaches that Kusanagi-san had mentioned as a good remedy for colds, as well as fast-acting fever reducers. If he had more points in the past, he would have definitely used them to redeem the cold medicine, but these were truly difficult times.

The colorless king, Miwa Ichigen, had only recently passed away, and the mental state of the man they were currently encountering, Yatogami Kuroh, was clearly also worrying. After returning to that building, hearing him softly call out "Lord Ichigen," Totsuka's heart suddenly softened.

He's someone who genuinely cares about his king, and even in this state, he went to save a complete stranger. "You must be a good boy." Saying this, Totsuka gave Yatogami Kuroh a new wet towel, stirred the fever reducer in water, gently moistened his lips, and let him swallow a little.

Recalling what he had heard before—that Yatogami Kuroh was adopted by Miwa Ichigen—the two must have already shared a strong bond before Ichigen became king. The Colorless King… Totsuka sighed softly, thinking of being killed by another Colorless King. “What kind of person is this Colorless King who has been your only companion? What kind of king is he to you? If only he weren’t dead…”

If Yato-gami's Colorless King doesn't die, then a new Colorless King won't be chosen, and he won't have to willingly offer himself up to be killed by the new Colorless King. It's hard to say whether Yato-gami is pathetic, or he is.

Totsuka lay down on the bed where the 'loyal dog' Black Dog was sleeping, thinking that after he was shot, he would never see his king again. He almost resonated with Yatogami's feelings at this moment.

"I'm sorry, Lord Ichigen..." Yato-gami murmured in his sleep.

Totsuka smiled and reached out to stroke the sleeping man. "Don't worry, don't worry, there's always a way." Even in his final moments, he must have wanted his king to live. Totsuka looked at the man's handsome face and smiled gently. He, too, was trying to keep the King alive…

Chapter 123119 Death or Rebirth

After a while, when Totsuka changed Yatogami Kuroh's towel again, he touched his forehead and found that his fever had subsided. Being young, his physical condition was good, and he recovered quickly. When the phone rang, Totsuka went outside to answer it so as not to disturb the sleeping man.

"Kusanagi-nii, what's wrong?" Totsuka looked at the rain still falling outside. It was quite rare for him to contact her at this time.

"Are you asleep?" Kusanagi Izumo asked, holding the phone with a slightly helpless tone. "Kamamoto just called and said that Yata and the others got into a fight with another group while they were working all night. The opponent wasn't anything too tough. If you have time, you could help them out."

Clearly, Kusanagi and his team had come to trust his abilities completely after a few years. Totsuka smiled and replied, "No problem, send me the address."

After receiving the address, Totsuka glanced at the person sleeping in the building, thought for a moment, and then went inside to find paper and a pen. He left a note: "I'm sorry, I have some urgent business to attend to and need to go back first. Although your fever has subsided, please take good care of yourself and don't get caught in the rain. I've left everything I bought here, so don't forget to take it. Also, thank you so much for your help. See you again sometime! PS: Remember to eat the canned peaches!"

"I really want to hear your story." Totsuka turned around and smiled at the figure on the ground. "Goodbye, Yatogami Inurou-kun."

Just after Totsuka left, Yatogami Kuroh, who had been fast asleep, suddenly sat up. He had just sensed a gentle presence, much like that of Lord Ichigen, which made him seem to see a hazy figure in his dream. The towel on his forehead fell off, and when he noticed he was placed on a made bed, he looked around, trying to find the person who resembled Lord Ichigen.

The empty building was deserted, and Yatogami Kuroh felt a pang of disappointment. However, when he saw the letter left on the table and the food beside it, a warmth spread through his heart. He would see that person again, wouldn't he...?

At this time, Totsuka had already found where Hatta and Kamamoto were. They always liked to play in places like arcades, which are popular with boys. They didn't expect that another group would also discover this and come to stop them.

As expected, it's unrealistic for HOMRA to avoid trouble. After seeing the group surrounding their own people, Totsuka sighed softly, "Well, sometimes deliberately causing trouble can be annoying."

Hatta's fighting strength has always been top-notch in HOMRA, and Kamamoto is no slouch either. The opponents' individual strength isn't high; it's just that their numbers are overwhelming. When they saw Totsuka arrive, they immediately shouted, "Totsuka-nii, with you here, things will be much easier!"

In battle, they generally lack self-control. If they exert too much effort and seriously injure others, it can be problematic, and even Scepter 4 might come knocking. Totsuka's ability, however, is clearly a gentler solution.

When the group turned around and saw who it was, their laughter became even more rampant. The leader said directly, "Haha, I thought you had summoned some important figure, or even the Crimson King Suoh Mikoto. I didn't expect you to have summoned a beauty?"

The almost mocking words instantly ignited Hatta's fury. He glared fiercely at the leader, "I didn't want to make a scene, but since you dared to flirt with Totsuka-san, I'll definitely burn you!"

"Wait, Hatta-kun." Kamamoto grabbed Hatta, who was about to speed off on his skateboard, and gestured for him to watch out for Totsuka's direction.

At this moment, Totsuka was still all smiles, the curve of his mouth unchanged. He walked step by step toward those people, which made those guys who were laughing loudly ignore Hatta and Kamamoto and instead surround him.

"Is this considered throwing herself into someone's arms?" The leader's eyes became even more blatant, and he even stuck out his tongue and licked his lips suggestively. "I've always heard that there's such a famous beauty by Suoh Mikoto's side. She's a perfectly good singer, so why does she have to get involved with someone who has no sense of romance at all?"
