Conquer the world, young man!
Page 102
"You're not qualified to get King to make a move." Totsuka shook his head, stopped in his tracks, and scoffed when he saw the group of people surrounding him. "You guys are so weak, you're really boring."
Just as the man was about to get angry at those words, Totsuka casually walked away from the encirclement, and none of the guys who had been with the leader stopped him.
"What's wrong with you guys? Seize him!" The leader, the organization's boss, shouted when he saw his group of dumbfounded men.
But no one paid attention to his shouts, and the group of people focused all their attention on him, their eyes empty as if they had lost their minds...
The man panicked. This strange, almost supernatural event made him take a step back. This step back acted like a signal; his previously stunned subordinates all rushed towards him, throwing punches and kicks at him.
"Wait, I'm your boss!" The man's voice was quickly replaced by screams. Those who couldn't squeeze in to beat up the others started turning on those around them, and soon it turned into a chaotic brawl.
The group of guys surrounded by the fighting were all bruised and battered, looking quite miserable.
Hatta grabbed his skateboard and ran over to Totsuka, giving him a thumbs-up and laughing, "Great job, Totsuka-kun! These guys deserve to be taught a lesson!"
"Totsuka-kun." Kamamoto bowed to Totsuka from the side, "It's really kind of you to come and pick us up at this time."
"Looks like it's already dawn." Totsuka led his companions away, chuckling as he asked, "Are you guys heading home, or to HOMRA bar?"
“At this point, of course we should go to a bar.” Hatta and Kamamoto exchanged a glance, then followed Totsuka with cheerful smiles.
"That's good then." After walking away, Totsuka dispelled the illusion on those people. "You weren't so impulsive this time, you did a good job."
Hatta slowly skated along, his hands behind his head, a smirk playing on his lips. "Even if others investigate, they'll probably just think it's internal strife within the organization."
As they chatted and laughed, they arrived at the bar entrance. Totsuka pushed open the door and found Suoh Mikoto still sitting on the sofa smoking. "Good morning, King. Why are you up so early today?"
Suoh Mikoto turned off his Marlboro and looked at the guy who hadn't lived with him for a long time. "No, I was just about to go to sleep."
"Has Mikoto been having trouble sleeping lately?" Hatta muttered to Totsuka behind his back, but quickly shut his mouth when Suoh Mikoto looked over.
Totsuka stepped forward and lightly punched Suoh Mikoto, who had opened his right palm as he extended his fist, with his fist. "King."
"What's wrong?" Suoh Mikoto looked up, his languid expression becoming slightly more energetic.
Totsuka thought for a moment, then shook her head. "It's nothing, but you need to adjust your time difference. Go and rest now."
"Tsk." Suoh Mikoto frowned, looking somewhat disappointed, and stood up to walk towards the second floor of the bar.
Hatta, who came up from behind, reached out and nudged Totsuka, blinking his eyes. "Totsuka-nii, is there anything wrong between you and Mikoto-nii? Are you just going through a rough patch in your relationship?"
Totsuka turned to Hatta with a smile and said softly, "I don't want you to say that to me, Hatta. You're still a child."
"I'm not a virgin!" Hatta shouted, his face almost turning red, but as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and run to the side.
This time, Totsuka couldn't help but laugh out loud. Luckily, it was still early and there weren't many people in HOMRA yet, otherwise, Hatta's words would have been an absolute disgrace.
In the following period, Totsuka attended an awards ceremony, but this time he wasn't there to accept an award; instead, he presented one to a newcomer as a 'senior' in the music industry. Matsumoto Shota remains his manager, but they now have much more free time. Aside from releasing new albums and participating in major music programs, Totsuka hardly participates in any other activities. It's precisely this pure musician-like approach that has made Totsuka's popularity even greater.
It seems that the original Ren-senpai has gone abroad and is now even more successful than his father. Totsuka only learned from Mr. Matsumoto that Ren-senpai's father was Ku Heathley, a Hollywood star whose real name was Shuhei Hozu, also a very famous superstar in the country. It seems Ren-senpai has achieved his original goals; everyone he knows is doing well, and Totsuka is happy about that.
Conversely, Toku started going to the location suggested by the system every night, waiting patiently. The view from the rooftop at night was indeed beautiful, but standing on the top floor looking down at the lights, Toku's heart couldn't find peace. Four months passed in the blink of an eye. Despite having so many memories and so much reluctance to leave, he never imagined he would choose this path.
[Host, the target has appeared. The target has appeared. Please proceed according to the script.]
It was called a script, but it was nothing more than the memories that still lingered in Totsuka's mind. Totsuka stepped back, pretending to be the one who had just arrived on the rooftop. When she saw the back of the person with short silver hair, the ends of which were slightly upturned, Totsuka took out her camera, switched it to recording mode, and suppressed the urge to kill the person. She reached out and waved, "Hello, the night is really nice."
As he spoke, he moved closer to the figure. The camera showed the time as December 7th, 11:45 PM.
"I'm here to take night photos. What are you doing here?" Before the person could even turn around after saying the first sentence, Totsuka continued, "My name is Totsuka Tatara. What's your name?"
When the man turned his face, revealing a twisted, maniacal smile, Totsuka knew that this moment had finally arrived. The gunshot rang out in an instant. Totsuka stood there, watching the bullet pierce his body, and collapsed with a bitter smile. He clearly didn't want to die; he had tried to escape, but his legs wouldn't move at all, as if he were glued to the ground, unable to take a single step.
The camera, which wouldn't break, was still working at this moment, and it flipped up to film the prisoner who had just shot him.
Totsuka couldn't see the man's movements, but he heard his voice, "I am the Seventh King, the Colorless King, and I am waiting for someone here."
Seemingly speaking deliberately to Totsuka lying on the ground, he said, "You said the night view is nice, huh? Hmm, it is quite nice." After saying this, he fired another shot.
After the man's voice disappeared, Totsuka narrowed his eyes in hatred. What a wicked guy! He struggled to turn over. He had already fired a shot, but he was shot again. Damn it, even if he knew he was going to die, he didn't want to be shot twice!
The colorless king must be waiting for the silver king. Totsuka lay flat on the rooftop, listening to the system notification.
[Congratulations, host, on completing the main quest of the K world: 'Die' at the hands of the Colorless King. Quest reward: None, 5000 points awarded.]
[Congratulations, host, on completing the main quest: Become the next generation's singing god (100/100). Quest rewards: Enhanced faith power and divine power, 5000 points.]
[The host currently has 21000 points. Would you like to consume 20000 points to upgrade equipment?]
Yes, even at this point, he's still talking so much; he's almost at his breaking point.
[Confirmed deduction of 20000 points, remaining points 1000. Equipment upgrade initiation: 10%, 20%... 100%. Equipment upgrade complete.]
Shizuka shakily pulled his phone out of his pocket. Perhaps due to being shot in the internal organs, he coughed up blood as he tried to speak after dialing the number.
"Going to shoot night scenes again today?" It was Izumo Kusanagi's voice on the other end of the phone, asking naturally upon seeing the phone number.
Totsuka coughed and laughed, "Yeah, but I'm a little too tired to walk today. Looks like I'll have to trouble Kusanagi-nii to come pick me up."
"What's going on?" Kusanagi Izumo tightened his grip on the phone, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.
"On the rooftop of XXX, Kusanagi-nii, hurry up and come over." Totsuka hung up the phone, spread his arms, lay down on the cold ground, and looked up at the night sky. "Why me of all people?"
[Of course, it's because the host was chosen by the great Tom Sue god, and has completed the tasks quite well.]
"You've already found the meaning of your existence, yet you want me to give up my life? Heh." Totsuka's eyes widened, his body grew colder and colder, and blood seemed to be flowing out continuously. He had to hold on until they arrived.
Hurried footsteps approached, and Totsuka turned around to see a figure running towards him. Well, I didn't expect Kusanagi to bring Yata along too? It wouldn't be good for him to see him like this.
"Totsuka-nii!" Hatta immediately lifted the person lying in a pool of blood into his arms and shouted, "Totsuka-nii, what happened?!"
Despite having so much to say, seeing Yata's expression, Totsuka could only manage to say, "The bastard who fired two shots," "The Colorless... King." Even speaking was difficult; the current situation was truly terrible.
"Totsuka-nii, were you ambushed by another king?" Yata, as if he had found a reason, tightly gripped the clothes of the person in his arms. "Totsuka-nii is so powerful, only a king could have that kind of power..."
Standing beside him, Kusanagi Izumo seemed too afraid to touch the person on the ground. He said, "Hey, Yata, don't let him talk." How could he have witnessed such a scene? That guy was lying weakly on the ground, looking like he might disappear at any moment. Kusanagi Izumo lowered his head, his hands clenching so tightly that the bones were cracking.
Hatta reached out and touched Totsuka's abdomen where he had been shot. "It's okay, Totsuka-nii." Hatta, who was usually impulsive, softened his voice at this moment. "I'll call a doctor right now. This kind of minor injury... will heal quickly."
Totsuka smiled, looking at the man's tearful expression, and reached out to stroke his cheek. "It's alright, it's alright, there's always a way." He was already very happy to have met them and spent this time with them in HOMRA. Totsuka looked at Kusanagi Izumo, who hadn't approached, "Kusanagi-nii..."
This body had reached its limit, and Totsuka's voice weakened. Kusanagi Izumo, who hadn't come over until now, finally walked over with heavy steps when he heard the shouts from the people on the ground.
“The earring, for King…” Totsuka gasped, choking on some blood again, but he managed to finish his last sentence, “And, I’m sorry.”
The earrings were something he had painstakingly accumulated points to exchange for. If Zun couldn't use them, he wouldn't be at peace even if he died! He was sorry that he wouldn't be able to accompany everyone in the days to come... With this last thought, Totsuka finally closed his eyes, and the hand that had been gently stroking Yata fell down.
At this moment, Kusanagi Izumo finally stretched out his hand and tightly grasped the drooping hand in his palm.
"Totsuka-nii, Totsuka-nii..." Yata stared blankly at the lifeless body in his arms, tears that had been welling up in his eyes finally spilling over. The man, his brow furrowed, shook his head in disbelief, saying, "Don't sleep, Totsuka-nii, you're kidding! This is a lie, right..."
Misaki Yata held the lifeless body of Tatara Totsuka tightly in her arms. Izumo Kusanagi stood up, his back to his weeping companion, and picked up the Totsuka camera from the ground. He then dialed a number on his phone, "I'm sorry, Mikoto, it's bad news..."
At this moment, Kusanagi Izumo almost completely suppressed his emotions. He even rationally began to analyze what actions Mikoto would take, and how the members of HOMRA would react. He even cared about those in Totsuka…
"You've really left me with a big problem, Totsuka." Kusanagi Izumo stretched out his hand, covering his eyes. For this moment, he would indulge himself just for a little while. When Mikoto arrived, he would still be the rational Kusanagi Izumo. Even standing here, he felt a struggle to breathe. If he could cry in your arms like Yata did, like Yata did, it would probably feel much better.
Back at the HOMRA bar, everyone gathered together. Suoh Mikoto personally held Totsuka's already cold body and removed the earring from his left ear. The small earring seemed to still contain Totsuka's blood. Suoh Mikoto then stuck the earring into his own left ear, making him feel as if their blood had mingled.
The camera was playing footage of the moment the silver-haired man shot and killed Shizuku. The members of HOMRA watched the footage with bated breath, but at the end, they all trembled and lowered their heads.
"It seems that's how it is." Kusanagi Izumo turned off the camera, held it in his hand, and glanced at the members of HOMRA. "The culprit is the one who calls himself the Colorless King."
"I will absolutely, absolutely not let that guy get away with this!" Hatta's voice was still choked with sobs. His eyes were red as he looked up and picked up his baseball bat. "I'm going to find that scum right now!"
"Hata-nii, let's go together!" Kamamoto responded immediately, running to Hatta's side, seemingly wanting to rush out of the bar right away.
"Let's grind that man to dust!" The remaining Bando, Akagi, Chitose... all the members of HOMRA stood up at the same time. They turned their grief into anger and shouted with unstoppable momentum.
"Wait a minute." Kusanagi Izumo took out a terminal and said to the group, "I'm sending the photo of the Colorless King to your terminals. If you see this person, please contact each other."
It could be said that this battle, unavoidable, or perhaps no one wanted to avoid, ignited an inextinguishable flame in the hearts of everyone in HOMRA. That person... that person was Totsuka-san, who had been looking after them ever since they joined HOMRA!
After seeing everyone leave, Kusanagi Izumo slowly let out a breath and fixed his gaze on Suoh Mikoto, who was still holding the corpse. "Mikoto, bury Totsuka."
A lifeless corpse, no matter how tightly it's embraced, won't generate warmth. Kusanagi had witnessed the feelings between the two from the very beginning, and now he couldn't even offer a word of comfort.
"Hmm." Suoh Mikoto looked at the person in his arms, stood up, and walked outside.
Kusanagi Izumo didn't ask where he planned to bury Totsuka. Looking at the empty HOMRA bar, Kusanagi stroked the camera and murmured, "All he said was irresponsible talk, and then he just left like that, idiot!"
[Beep, since the host is unable to respond at this moment, binding mode has been activated. The substitute doll has been successfully replaced. The soul is in a weakened state and needs recuperation.]
[Beep, soul detected. Pulling force increased. Searching...]
[Search complete. Soul and body are currently too out of sync to attach. Unable to attach.]
[The body has been properly placed; the soul needs energy replenishment. Space search in progress. Space confirmed. Initiating a spacetime jump.]
It was really noisy. Totsuka Tatara was disturbed by the voices in his mind and finally opened his eyes.
Chapter 124120 New Enemy
But when Totsuka opened his eyes and saw the scene before him, he momentarily felt as if there was something wrong with his eyes. Anyone would be surprised to see a group of non-mainstream figures flying in the sky and striking poses. What's more, Totsuka also recognized his classmates, who were very familiar to him.
"Tsuna! Gokudera and Takeru..." Totsuka called out as he looked at Gokudera on the ground, who was using a weapon decorated with a skull to defend against the rain-attribute fire energy body, and the people behind him. However, no one noticed him, and the non-mainstream people in the sky continued to attack those below.
Totsuka finally realized that he was an invisible being. These people held small cube-shaped boxes and aimed their flame energy at the boxes, thereby gaining other... powers? Animals with fire attributes that resembled life forms flew out of the boxes. This method of combat was truly refreshing.
I thought I was dead, but I turned into a spirit and ended up in this chaotic battleground. This must be the system's doing!
[Host, you really have no conscience. This system gave you a big surprise and did everything for your own good, yet you still make malicious assumptions about this system.]
I'm so tired, I feel like I'll never love again.
Hey! He's really feeling exhausted. He should explain what's going on, and what's the deal with Tsuna and these strange people.
This is the world ten years in the future. Sawada Tsunayoshi and his friends are now fighting for the future of all humanity.
That's too vague. Does it mean there are anti-human and anti-social groups emerging? Scepter4 would definitely not let such people go, would it? And having middle school students save all of humanity? Isn't that a bit too much?
There is a person who has already ruled over parallel worlds, and this world is his final target. However, he has set his sights on the Vongola, so the boys have taken on the responsibility of saving the world.
Totsuka sighed, "If there really is someone who can rule over parallel worlds, then that would be an absolute bug in the system. The task of conquering the world should be left to that guy!"
Therefore, in order to complete the main mission of conquering the world, host, please assist Sawada Tsunayoshi in eliminating the person who is trying to seize the world from you.
He's currently in spirit form; how could he possibly assist Tsuna? He'd never dared to dream of conquering the world, but seeing his friends struggling, he wanted to help. However, he felt the opponent's fighting power was simply too overwhelming.
[While in spirit form, the host can equip the gear of the Moon Goddess, thus manifesting. However, the host's soul is currently too weak and must replenish its energy in this world. The system will then remind you how to do so.]
System, it's rare for you to offer a solution so seriously, he's almost incredulous! But what he really wants to know is whether he can return to the world where he died? If he originally just hoped Suoh Mikoto could live, now that he's still alive, he desperately wants to go back.
[Once the host replenishes their soul energy here, they can naturally return to that world. A travel return ticket can be obtained by spending 5000 points.]
He only has 1000 points left. In order to go back, he must complete the remaining main quest of the tutor. It seems that no matter what, he has to stay here for now.
Now that the host understands, it's up to you. This system is your strong support.
