Target 164 Mukurou and Chrome

[* In Japanese, Mukurou is an anagram of Chrome (Kuroumu).]

-4-

[Chrome’s eyes are mixed with both fear and relief…]

Glo: Hm…?

Glo: (What is she looking at…)

Glo: (Of course. She’s enamoured by my Box, the Gufo di Pioggia.)

Glo: (It’s no wonder. Such an impressive and gallant figure, and the beautiful blue flame, too.)
SFX: Twitch

Glo: ……!?

-5-

Glo: What!?

Glo: That’s impossible!!

Glo: The flame colour turned indigo!!

Glo: Nuh!

Mukurou: (Chrome, take this chance. Run upstairs.)

-6-

Chrome: OK…

Glo: What the…!?

Glo: !!

Glo: It-it’s you!!
SFX: whack

Glo: The word “Six” is lodged in its pupil!
眸に宿る六の文字!
Is that Rokudou Mukuro!?

Mukurou: ……fu
Kufufufu.

Mukurou: You grasped the situation pretty quickly, I’ll give you that. Very good.
Glo Xinia.
君の状況把握の早さは一目置くに値しますよ

-7-

Glo: (Rokudou… Mukuro…!!
I will not stand for something so absurd!!)

Glo: (I heard that Rokudou Mukuro has the ability of possession, but…
Could he be in the Box… Yet, when did he have the chance to…)

Glo: !! …
Was it during that battle last time…

Mukurou: Kufufufu. That’s right.
I played a little trick on your Gufo de Pioggia.
あなたの雨フクロウに少し細工をさせていただきましたよ

Glo: I’ve never heard of the possibility of possessing a Box!
Mukurou: Kufufufu. I have done it, so what can I say?
Or, shall we pretend this is all a… dream?

Glo: Kuuu… Damn you…
SFX: twitch twitch twitch twitch twitch…

(SFX: breathe in)
Glo: Fuu…

-8-

Glo: Is that girl so precious
to you?

Glo: I’m going to take my share of such a precious girl right before your eyes. This could just be the best situation, don’t you think?
My appetite for that girl just keeps getting better.

Mukurou: (He regained his composure within a moment…
No wonder he's one of the Millefiore's Six Funeral Wreaths.)
さすがミルフィオーレ６弔花の１人

[* Note: 弔花 (Chouka) refers specifically to funeral flowers. Although wreaths are not necessarily for funerals, nor are funeral flowers always a wreath, I figured it sounds better than "six funeral flowers". ^^; ]

Mukurou: (Listen, Chrome.)

Chrome: Mukuro-sama!

Mukurou: (Due to various reasons, I am unable to use a large amount of power.)

Mukurou: (It doesn’t look like you can escape from Glo Xinia either.)

-9-

Mukurou: (You will defeat
that man.)

Chrome: ……OK…
Mukurou: (You’ll be fine.)

Mukurou: (You have
the Vongola Ring.)

Chrome: Vongola Ring…?
!

Chrome: (…it’s thawing…)

Mukurou: (That Mist Ring will
lend you the power you need.)

-10-

Everyone: !

Lal: What is it, Giannini?
Giannini: It was only a moment, but we picked up the presence of an unknown, but very powerful Ring… in the outskirts of Kokuyou Land.

Tsuna: !!
Kokuyou Land!?

Giannini: But, this area is flooded with heavy electromagnetic interference.
There’s a high chance it could be a false alarm.

Reborn: Analyse the data on the outskirts of Kokuyou Land again.
Giannini: Roger that!

Lal: It could be a new enemy.

Tsuna: No…
I’m sure it’s a friend…

-11-

Tsuna: It could be Chrome…
holding the Vongola Ring…

Mukurou: Giii!

Chrome: !

Chrome: Mukuro-sama!

Glo: Well, well. You’re nothing but a talking stuffed toy, after all.

-12-

Glo: Making use of other people’s Boxes, and trying to meddle with everything. How pathetic.
Did you think you could defeat me with such a makeshift ploy?
人様の匣を使ってしゃしゃり出ようなどとちゃちだなぁ
そんな姑息な手で私に勝てると思っているのか?

Mukurou: Kuu… That was…
Chrome: Mukuro-sama!

Mukurou: I didn’t expect he would still possess that level of power…
Not bad at all, Glo Xinia.

Chrome: !

Chrome: (What’s that sound?)

Glo: Allow me to educate you. We are the Top of the Top, the Six Funeral Wreaths who hold A ranks and above.
The three of us in the White Spell were granted a Main Box and a Sub Box from Lord Byakuran.

Glo: The body you have inhabited is the Sub Box.
It’s an ordinary weapon used for opponents that are out-of-reach.

Glo: But, my true abilities lie in this Main Box.

-13-

This is the Kraken di Pioggia!!

[* Note: Italian for 雨巨大イカ or Rain Giant Squid.]

Chrome: ……!!

Mukurou: (You must not panic, Chrome.)

Mukurou: (Draw out the power of the Vongola Ring. Use it to fight.)

-14-

Chrome: The power… of the Ring…?
Mukurou: (Use your resolution to draw out the flames from the Ring. You should be able to use that to strengthen your illusions.)

Chrome: ……
OK…

Chrome: …

Chrome: !!

Glo: Oho… A girl who is merely one part of the Mist Guardian…
SFX: Twitch twitch
Glo: Yet, you can ignite the flame of the Vongola Ring, eh?

Chrome: I won’t lose.

-15-

Chrome: …… Incredible.

Chrome: Ah…!

Glo: Indeed, the fire pillars forged from your Dying Will flames have increased in reality.

Glo: But, in the end, they’re still fake.
What a joke.

Chrome: …It’s not working…

Glo: Heh.
SFX: Twitch twitch

Mukurou: (What is it that you believe in the most?)

-16-

Chrome: !!

Mukurou: (The reality of an illusion is the reality held by the illusionist.
You still have some doubts, hm? A thing or phenomenon that you truly believe in will create a much stronger illusion.)
幻術のリアリティとは術士の持つリアリティ
一点の疑いも持たぬ 真に信服している事象現象こそが最も強い幻覚となる

Chrome: What I believe in the most…?
……

Chrome: ……But…

Mukurou: (I will catalyse your illusions with the little bit of my power.
Success or failure will depend on the two of us synchronizing what we imagine.)

Glo: Sharing your last words?

Chrome: !

Glo: Don’t worry, Chrome Dokuro.
I will take good care of you for that owl to see. …Yes.

-17-

Glo: For Mukuro to see!!

Chrome: !!

Mukurou: (Now!)

-18-

Glo: Hn!?

Glo: Wha-
What!?

Chrome: Ahh…

Chrome: ……
Aa…

Mukurou: (Just as I thought. This is what you believe in as well, isn’t it?)

Mukuro: This is a fine and powerful spell.
Now, it seems I can join in the fun, too…

-19/20-

Mukuro: This sure brings back memories.

[Her powerful thoughts of the “bond” she believed in
have made these reliable “forms” appear now!!!]
