Diarmuid didn't dare to move an inch, and his face turned slightly red as the boy's warm fingertips touched him.

"Alright." Totsuka withdrew his hand and added a layer of magic to Diarmuid's magic mark as a barrier, which should reduce the magic power considerably.

So it was just fighting demons after all? Diarmuid let out a sigh of relief, but a faint sense of disappointment crept into his heart. Seeing the boy's gentle gaze, he once again felt disgusted with his own despicable thoughts.

This time, even though everyone in the mall was focused on Diarmuid and him, the scene wasn't as uncontrollable as before. Totsuka pulled her hat down a little lower and started wandering around the store, looking for clothes that would suit Diarmuid best.

However, Shishu quickly decided to hand over the task of choosing clothes to the sales assistant, since an enthusiastic sales assistant had already started introducing the clothes to them.

"Dear customers, what style of clothing would you like to choose?" When Kono saw the boy and the young man enter the store, she immediately noticed them, especially their intimate behavior (she had personally witnessed the boy touching the handsome young man's face), and the young man's gaze following the boy closely. This made her eyes light up instantly, and she seized the opportunity to serve them.

Totsuka pointed at Diarmuid, "Pick out a few outfits for him, make sure they're suitable." Diarmuid has a great physique; he could easily be a model.

Kono nodded immediately, sizing up the tall young man while secretly glancing at the boy. Although most of the boy's face was hidden by his hat, she was absolutely certain that his appearance was no less striking. After carefully selecting several outfits, she directly asked the boy, who she could tell was the decision-maker between the two, "What do you think of these outfits?"

Shishu took the clothes and held them up against Diarmuid. The sales assistant had a good eye; it seemed the size had been chosen very well. "Diarmuid, go try it on."

Diarmuid took the clothes the boy handed him and was pushed directly into the fitting room. Totsuka also asked the sales assistant, "You should also have underwear here, right? I'd like to pick out a few pairs."

Kono smiled knowingly. Even choosing underwear for him showed their close relationship. This emboldened her to start picking out underwear again, assuring the boy that the size would fit him perfectly.

Shishu's lips twitched as he watched the sales assistant stuff the underwear into his hand and say to him with a strange smile, "Hehe, that guy must be pretty capable, be careful not to overwork yourself."

“Diarmuid’s abilities are certainly not low, but…” Totsuka didn’t understand how this ordinary person knew about other people’s abilities, “What do you mean I’ll get tired?”

"Haha, it seems you're quite something, little brother." Kono blinked, indicating that she already knew what was going on. "There aren't many people like you who are so considerate."

Totsuka felt that he might have been out of touch with normal society for too long, and he couldn't even understand the thoughts of ordinary people anymore. Holding his underwear, he knocked on the door of the fitting room and said, "Diarmuid, there are still clothes for you."

Diarmuid opened the fitting room door directly; he had already changed into his worldly clothes. This made Totsuka's eyes light up when he saw Diarmuid. The sales assistant had indeed chosen excellent clothes, and the style on Diarmuid was fantastic. "Diarmuid, this outfit is absolutely amazing!"

Upon receiving the boy's praise, Diarmuid's face flushed again, and when he noticed the item in the boy's hand, even his ears burned. "Master, you actually made me carry this..." In the real world, this was an extremely private item, and just thinking about it made Diarmuid unsure where to look.

"Pfft..." Totsuka laughed out loud, handed him the underwear in her hand, and stuffed another set of clothes into his hand as well. "Okay, go change."

Diarmuid took it blankly, then closed the fitting room door. When he thought of the boy's smile just now, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Totsuka went straight to the counter and packed up all the clothes. His bank card was now significantly depleted from the shopping trip. "I guess I can't stay home without working," he thought, putting away his bank card. Mr. Matsumoto hadn't contacted him recently; it seemed his vacation wasn't over yet.

After Diarmuid had changed into his new outfit and received high praise from Totsuka, Totsuka left the mall with his Servant.

"Master, I will definitely work hard to earn money." Diarmuid felt both joy and unease as he thought about how the boy had bought all these things for him. How could he possibly repay his Master now?

"Don't worry about money." Totsuka waved his hand and smiled, "Actually, once you're here, you can have your own life, and you can start to adapt to everything."

Diarmuid lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Master, you're not going to make me leave?"

"No, it depends on your own wishes." Totsuka smiled and said slowly, "Don't think too much. You can tell me whenever you want to leave, but it's best to find someone with magic so that you can stay in the mortal world."

“There will be no one else.” Diarmuid finally met the boy’s gaze and said solemnly, “Besides you, there will be no one else who is worth my giving everything.”

“Uh…” Totsuka was stunned by the look in Diarmuid’s eyes, and paused for a moment, “You’re really too stubborn, Diarmuid.”

Diarmuid chuckled softly. "Master, let's go."

Totsuka nodded, seemingly dismissing his idea of ​​letting Diarmuid have his own life. Was keeping such a Servant the right thing to do?

Lost in thought, Totsuka led Diarmuid to the front of HOMRO's bar. Remembering everything he had seen in the Holy Grail, Totsuka paused as he pushed open the door.

"Welcome back." Kusanagi Izumo's voice came from inside the door, which made Totsuka's face involuntarily show a smile.

As Totsuka entered the HOMRO bar, he looked at the familiar decor. "How did Kusanagi-san know it was me?" He took off his hat and put it away, then looked at the few more people in the bar. "So King already has followers."

"Didn't that game you participated in end?" Kusanagi Izumo stubbed out his cigarette and introduced the boy to the curious onlookers. "This is Totsuka Tatara, he's your senior."

"I wouldn't dare call myself a senior." Totsuka waved his hand, looked around, and asked, "Is King not here?"

"Some people have been causing trouble lately, so he's gone out." Kusanagi Izumo poured a glass of water and pushed it in front of Totsuka, then looked at the person behind him. "Aren't you going to introduce him?"

After witnessing his Master's close relationship with this person, Diarmuid memorized the faces of everyone in the bar. When asked, he stepped forward and replied, "I am Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, Master's..."

“They’re my friends.” Totsuka interrupted Diarmuid’s next attempt to reveal his identity. “But it’s not easy for King to have followers now. It seems like everyone is quite shy.”

Indeed, there were very few people scattered around HOMRO, and they weren't saying much. Totsuka took out a camera from his system inventory and snapped a picture of the group. "Well, well, since we're at HOMRO, we have to leave a memento, for those whom King has designated as his partners!"

The people who were sitting down blushed a little when they saw the boy's bright smile.

"Um... are you that singer Randy?" The first to speak was a boy wearing a baseball cap, with black hair and a handsome appearance.

The ten-beaded eye darted around, and the man said, "You are Bando Saburota!"

"Hey, hey, how did you know?" Bando Saburota had only joined Suoh Mikoto after hearing the news of the Red King's recent appearance, and he'd only been there for two days. He was certain he'd never seen this boy before, and if this boy really was Randy, then it was even more impossible!

Totsuka nodded. "I can read your mind."

As soon as Totsuka said that, everyone's attention was drawn to him, and Bando Saburota even took a few steps back, "Really?"

“Randy is also me, but it’s just a stage name. You can call me Totsuka, or Tatara, it’s fine.” Totsuka then looked at another person, “You must be Kamamoto Rikio.”

The stocky man in the hoodie stared at Totsuka in surprise and stammered, "But it really is mind reading, isn't it?"

"Haha, Totsuka, you really are..." Kusanagi Izumo shook his head and laughed at the two stunned people, "Although Totsuka is a magical person, he is not capable of mind reading."

Taking advantage of the moment, Totsuka captured the two people's astonished expressions on camera, then shook the camera, saying, "This is a great record! Welcome to HOMRO."

The originally quiet HOMRO bar immediately became more harmonious because of Totsuka's joke.

Kamamoto Rikio scratched his head, walked up to Totsuka somewhat shyly, and bowed, "Nice to meet you, Totsuka-senpai."

Bando Saburota also came to his senses and bowed to Totsuka as well. "I didn't expect that you were joking, senpai. I was really fooled."

"Who told you to stay quiet?" Totsuka put away the camera and nodded to the two of them. "Although there are only a few members in HOMRO right now, there will definitely be more and more in the future. If any new members come, be sure to give them a proper welcome!"

“It seems I’m not as good at entertaining people as you are, Totsuka.” Kusanagi Izumo spread his hands helplessly. “You know that Mikoto doesn’t say anything, so there are often awkward silences, and there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Totsuka asked with some curiosity, "How do other rulers accept members into their groups? I haven't heard anything about it."

"The Blue King of the Blue Clan still hasn't appeared. I heard that the remaining members of the Blue Clan are now working for the Second King, the Golden King." Kusanagi Izumo walked out from behind the bar and rubbed Totsuka's head. "As for the First King, the Silver King, he is still patrolling the sky. I don't know anything else."

"So it really is still in the process of figuring things out." Totsuka winked at the group. "I already have a feeling that the Red Clan will grow stronger and stronger, and the other rulers will never look down on us."

Kamamoto Rikio nodded firmly, "Totsuka-senpai is right, it will definitely happen."

"This is just the beginning." Kusanagi Izumo looked at Diarmuid, this handsome young man didn't seem like an ordinary person either. "Totsuka, when did you get to know foreigners?"

"Diarmuid?" Totsuka glanced at the silent person following behind him. "In that money game, I also found someone I knew before. Diarmuid also became my friend. If you have the chance, Kusanagi-san, you can also see other people."

"I really don't know what you've been up to." Kusanagi Izumo chuckled and nodded to Diarmuid. "Since you're Totsuka's friend, you're always welcome to HOMRO."

"Thank you." Diarmuid bowed slightly in response. The atmosphere of this bar was indeed quite nice; he could tell that his Master had become much more relaxed since arriving here.

"But King went alone because someone was causing trouble?" Totsuka frowned. For Suoh Mikoto, who possessed such power, it would be troublesome if he didn't know how to control it.

Kusanagi Izumo shoved the water glass into Totsuka's hand. "With his abilities, there's no need to worry about him at all."

Totsuka took a sip of water and laughed, "I'm just worried about King's rivals. Even before he became the Red King, those who caused trouble were never his real opponents."

"How about Fuyuki City?" Kusanagi Izumo was still somewhat concerned about the 'game' that Totsuka had mentioned, feeling that it wasn't as simple as it seemed.

Totsuka thought for a moment, "It's a place with a very traditional feel. If Kusanagi-nii wants to travel, we can consider it."

"The mark on your hand is gone too." Kusanagi Izumo noticed the back of the boy's hand, which had returned to its original fair appearance, as if the mark had never been there. "If there's anything you need, you can always tell us..."

Totsuka nodded, about to say something, when his phone rang in his pocket. He opened it to find a completely unfamiliar number. Totsuka gestured to Kusanagi Izumo before answering the phone.

After the phone connected, a middle-aged man's voice came through, "Is this Totsuka Boy?"

"Yes, this is me. May I ask who you are?" Only acquaintances know Totsuka's phone number. Who is this person who is obviously a stranger?

The man chuckled twice on the phone and then said, "As the leader of the Ninth Vongola's external advisors, it's my fault for not contacting you all this time."

Totsuka's eyes widened; he had never imagined that the seemingly sinecure of the outside advisor position would actually have a leader!

“Young man, you don’t need to worry too much. After all, you are an external advisor to the Tenth Vongola. I don’t have the authority to give you direct orders.” The man lowered his voice and continued, “Actually, I am Sawada Tsunayoshi’s father, Sawada Iemitsu. I heard from Reborn that Tsunayoshi is usually taken care of by you.”

"Tsuna's father?" Totsuka had been to the Sawada family several times but had never seen Tsuna's father. He had heard that his father had gone to dig for oil or something, but it turned out that he was still working for the Vongola.

“Yes, that’s right.” Sawada Iemitsu’s voice became serious and solemn. “As Tsuna’s father, I can’t help him much. Now, something is also happening here with the Ninth Boss. Varia, the Vongola’s assassination squad, has started competing with Tsuna’s guardians for the successor’s ring. I want to ask you to help my son and make him the true Tenth Vongola Boss.”

Author's Note: The Ring Wars dungeon is about to open, and it's expected to be quite chaotic.

Thank you so much [Yiyunli] for the amazing news! Hugs and kisses~~

Chapter 96093 The Ring War

During the phone call, Tsuna's father also talked to Totsuka about the members of the external advisors. After hanging up, Totsuka realized why it was Tsuna's father calling him. Why didn't Reborn and Tsuna mention this to him?

Thinking of his classmates whom he hadn't seen for a while, Totsuka felt a rare pang of guilt. He had been asking Hibari for leave, and now that something was happening in the Vongola, he wondered if Hibari, who had been chosen by Reborn, would get involved.

"Looks like you've got something on your mind again." Kusanagi Izumo put down Totsuka's empty water glass and looked at him, asking, "Is it some kind of 'game' this time?"

Totsuka thought for a moment, then chuckled, "I wonder if Kusanagi-nii knows about the 'Mafia' game."

Kusanagi Izumo frowned immediately. "Could it be related to those people in Italy?"

"Huh?" Totsuka's eyes widened, and he quickly asked, "Kusanagi-nii, how did you know?"

Kusanagi Izumo draped his arm over Totsuka's shoulder and leaned closer, saying, "You should tell me how you got involved with those people."

“It’s because of my classmate.” Totsuka sighed. “My friend happens to be the tenth Vongola boss, and that Varia from Italy has his eye on them…”

"So you're going?" Kusanagi Izumo looked at Totsuka and shook his head. "Totsuka, you shouldn't go. Let's wait for Mikoto to come back before we go."

“No way, Kusanagi-kun.” Totsuka shook his finger and winked. “I don’t want Homro to have a conflict with the mafia. Homro is just starting out, and they seem to be having internal strife right now. It’s really not good for Homro to get involved.”

"So you can get involved?" Kusanagi Izumo glanced at Totsuka. "I can't trust your abilities."

“I will protect Master,” Diarmuid said from behind Totsuka. “I will absolutely not let anything happen to Master.”

Kusanagi Izumo glanced at Diarmuid, and this time he finally felt a bit of goodwill towards the guy following behind Totsuka. "It seems that Totsuka, you have indeed met some good people."

"I'm afraid we won't see King today." Totsuka was a little disappointed, but he quickly smiled. "Kusanagi-nii seems to be a little worried about me, but I'm actually very strong."

Upon hearing Totsuka's words, Kusanagi Izumo couldn't help but laugh again. "Have you forgotten about your hospital visit? Even if Mikoto gave us abilities, you are different."

"Kusanagi-nii, let me handle this." Totsuka stared intently at Kusanagi Izumo until he looked away. "As soon as this is over, I'll report back to HOMRO!"

"Do you think this is a shelter?" Kusanagi Izumo clicked his tongue and shook his head helplessly. "They're all so willful and reckless."

"Anyway, I'll be going now." Totsuka patted Kusanagi Izumo on the back and waved to the others. "Let's get together again sometime. Also, if King comes back, please say hello for me."

Kusanagi Izumo curled his lips slightly and lit another cigarette. "If you ask me, I will tell you the truth."

Totsuka looked at Kusanagi Izumo and sighed, "Kusanagi-nii, you really are... too worried." But he couldn't deny that such concern made him very happy.

"Totsuka-senpai," Kamamoto Rikio immediately bowed in reply, "If you need anything, please be sure to call me. I can lend a hand."

Bando Saburota quickly nodded, "That's right, Totsuka-senpai can call us anytime."
