Although it is embarrassing to say it, even though he passed the strict assessment of his tutor to become a qualified mafia leader and has been an orthodox mafia boss for ten years, Tsunayoshi Sawada has not yet learned many skills that a qualified mafia should master.

For example, smoking in a cool way, or swearing in a natural way.

The good boy Tsunayoshi Sawada would at most say something like "too bad" or "unforgivable" at home. Sometimes when Reborn was in the mood, he would teach him some Italian slang, and then the little repeater Tsunayoshi Sawada would stumble and repeat it several times. Although he managed to memorize it, as far as the current situation is concerned, there is no chance for him to express these vulgar words.

Even Reborn could only feel a rare sense of frustration at the overly gentle temper of his little disciple, who was raised by his mother.

Then Tsunayoshi Sawada welcomed Varian on a one-week tour.

Under the influence of Xanxus, he learned his oral Zen.

--Rubbish.

Xanxus is the adopted son of Sawada Tsunayoshi, the previous Vongola leader and the ninth Vongola leader.

Before being brought back to the Vongola by Timoteo the Ninth, Xanxus lived in the slums.

Before he was about to become an adult, Reborn had thrown Sawada Tsunayoshi into a place like the slums for "training".

No matter how hard the young boy in ragged overalls and a woolen coat disguised himself, he couldn't wash away the gentle aura that came from the world of light, and he was targeted by someone with ulterior motives almost as soon as he entered.

The guys in the slums certainly know that every year a lot of young men and women are thrown into their place for "training". These guys from well-born families are like fat sheep among hungry wolves when they enter the slums. As long as their lives are not harmed, they don't have to worry about the families behind them coming to visit in the morning.

So it's just simple deception or something else that will work.

Therefore, without knowing anything about it, Tsunayoshi Sawada was quickly "accepted" by the guys in the slums.

Then he began to come into contact with another side of his life that he had never touched before.

People in the slums almost always swear.

This is not intentional, but if you live in such an environment since birth, then wanting to become well-mannered is almost against nature.

After he came back, some of his habits had changed to the point where even Reborn was troubled, but he hadn't learned swear words, which are the most contagious.

It is said that the harshest word the tenth generation leader of Vongola said during his training was "rubbish".

Reborn: …

[“You’re even worse than Rokudo Mukuro like this.”] It was a rare moment for his tutor to make such a remark.

Then start trying to find other ways to make up for it.

If the words aren't harsh enough, at least show enough momentum.

Therefore, even though the word "please" was included in his words, Sawada Tsunayoshi's momentum was still strong.

He glanced sideways at the cursed spirit named "True Man" from top to bottom. The aura around him seemed to be able to materialize behind him, casting a terrifying filter over the brown-haired young man.

It is an absolutely terrifying filter of the underworld, a super evil cursed spirit.

The cursed spirits all value strength.

However, surprisingly, there was no expression of pure fear on the real person's face.

On that face, which was already very "human" for a curse spirit, appeared an expression that was extremely complex for a newborn curse spirit. Fear was the underlying color, mixed with excitement and confusion. When he raised his head again, his eyes even became brighter.

"Swear at me again." His eyes sparkled, as if what Tsunayoshi Sawada had done just now was not a stern rejection, but a gentle hug. "Swear at me more, more."

For a moment, Sawada Tsunayoshi had a vision of the moment when he was "picked up" by Otsuketa Yuta and when he made a simple breakfast for him for the first time, the other person had an expression on his face, like a puppy eating a bone.

Sawada Tsunayoshi thought that this was probably the source of his strange sense of déjà vu.

Of course, the longing expression on the face of Otsukuota, a pure human cub, is much cuter than that of the Curse Spirit Master who has no idea what happened.

Thinking of this, he ignored the young curse spirit that might not have a very good brain and looked in the direction of Louhu.

"What is his origin?"

Louhu uttered a "hmm", but the real person quickly answered himself.

"As for me," the blue cursed spirit smiled, "I was born from people's hatred and fear of each other*."

He reached over again and pressed his claws on Sawada Tsunayoshi's arm once again.

The cursed spirit that looked like a boy with long blue hair raised its head and took in the appearance of the young man with slightly frowned brows.

"Let's not talk about that. I bumped into you again." He was like a child who was awarded a red flower and was asking for praise. If he had a tail, he would have raised it high. "Are you going to scold me? Just like before."

Super-strong sense of déjà vu.

Without looking at the face that looked like a cross between an innocent child and a twisted cursed spirit, just from these words, Tsunayoshi Sawada finally found the source of the familiar feeling.

——This behavior was like the first time he saw Novan, who had a stern face and was sternly criticizing him.

——By the way, this accusation was also made by Novak himself.

Sawada Tsunayoshi couldn't help but twitch his lips and drove such things out of his mind.

"I see."

He still had that cold look, but the flame of life flickered on his forehead, which, in the eyes of the cursed spirits, was naturally part of his symbol as a cursed spirit - just like Leaky Coral's volcanic crater head.

However, the sudden lighting of the flames made the Cursed Spirit, who was like a curious baby (?), even more excited.

This time, not only Sawada Tsunayoshi, but even Lou Hu twitched his lips and burst into laughter.

"It seems that this guy likes you very much." He said calmly, "Since you like playing house games, how about bringing the real person back with you?"

Upon hearing this, the real person's expression brightened.

But Sawada Tsunayoshi refused.

He thought that Otsutsuki Yuta was a pure human being, and the cursed spirits in this world almost had an innate hostility towards humans. If he brought the real person back, one day when he was not paying attention, his lovely brother might be torn to pieces by the real person.

If he grows up a few years and has some ability to protect himself, maybe he will consider it.

However, such thinking is too much for Otsutsuki as a human being, and is too inconsistent with the thinking of an "evil cursed spirit".

Therefore, Sawada Tsunayoshi tilted his head, with obvious displeasure appearing on his face.

"Are you ordering me?" He raised his head slightly, leaving a small part of his chin in the real person's line of sight, forming a proud arc.

The pressure from the special cursed spirit came over him like an overwhelming force when he frowned. Even Louhu, who thought he had a good relationship with him, didn't know what he had done to make him, who always had a good personality, show such an expression.

However, he has no intention of making enemies with the other party for the time being.

After all, there are only so many special-grade cursed spirits in the world, and even fewer in Japan that can connect with each other, so after thinking about it, he slowly raised one hand.

"Don't get angry so easily," he stared at Sawada Tsunayoshi with his huge eyes, "If I didn't know, I would think you were protecting your human beings."

He was trying to lighten the mood, and even used the prefix "your" when referring to the humans that the other party kept in captivity in human society.

Since the other party was disgusted by the fact that his "proposal" was like an order, he stepped back three feet and showed a gesture of respect for the other party's domain.

Sure enough, the heavy aura of the brown-haired young man subsided a lot.

"It's not a human, it's that child..." Sawada Tsunayoshi lowered his eyes, revealing a somewhat gentle look.

So Lou Hu knew that he was talking about the cursed spirit companion that they had their eyes on from the very beginning.

The real person is a companion, and the child is also a companion. Although Louhu thinks that if they are both children, it’s okay to raise them together, but Sawada Tsunayoshi doesn’t seem to think so...

Noticing the other person's strange gaze, Sawada Tsunayoshi thought for a moment and completed his own excuse.

"That child is a girl, and the real person... is a male, right?"

Mr. Curse Spirit, who sometimes shows his old-fashioned side, crossed his hands and shook off the real person who was about to stick to him.

Then he said seriously, "I read in a human book that boys and girls should be raised separately after they are seven years old."

Louhu: ...

The real person looked left and right, and let out a long "Eh——" sound.

"But I'm neither male nor female." He answered obediently.

Louhu also muttered: "How can a cursed spirit know its gender?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi blinked and touched his chin.

"So are you going to wear a skirt?"

Louhu: “Huh?”

Seeing his puzzled look, the brown-haired Mr. Curse Spirit explained it patiently.

"Since you said that cursed spirits have no gender, do you want to wear a skirt or a lady's kimono?"

Louhu: ...

Don't follow human rules so much in a place like this!

Although it wouldn't be a big deal for him to wear it as a cursed spirit, after all, as he said, cursed spirits have no gender...but he was particularly unhappy when this guy pointed it out.

Maybe this is rebellion.

Seeing that the useless Louhu (Lohu:?) negotiation failed, the real person looked around and raised his paw happily.

"But!" he said loudly, like a child trying to attract the attention of an adult. When both Louhu and Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes fell on him at the same time, he repeated it again with great enthusiasm, "But! I'm not even seven years old yet!"

Looks very proud.

Sawada Tsunayoshi was silent for a moment and looked at Louhu.

Lou Hu patted his crater and thought about it.

"Oh yeah, this guy isn't even seven years old yet." He thought for a moment, "About seven months?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi: …

Although I know that the world of cursed spirits is like this, I can't help but feel sad when I see a real person who is only seven months old (not really) but is already so skillful that people want to beat him up, and I think of how I secretly taught her to read every night, but now she can only speak complete sentences haltingly.

Coincidentally, the bell for the end of class rang at this moment.

So Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't continue the topic, nodded to his two "companions", and left.

Louhu shouted behind him: "By the way! Don't forget to come back to the base this weekend... I have a new partner to introduce to you--"

After a pause, thinking that this companion did not seem to have as much malice towards humans as they did, and that he could even use humans to bait him, Lou Hu hastily added, "Yes - humans - oh -"

Then I saw with satisfaction that the brown figure waved his hand to indicate that he knew about it.

Only then did Lou Hu withdraw his gaze.

The real person next to him looked lost, like a big dog.

Out of his love for the young cursed spirits, Louhu, who was considered to be exceptionally gentle (?) towards his peers, reached out and patted the lost fellow on the back.

"Don't worry, that guy is just like that." He glanced at the teaching building that belonged to humans. Countless human cubs were released by the monster called "classroom". They were gurgling like boiling bubbles and gathered together to play.

He looked at his own child beside him again and couldn't help but say that humans and cursed spirits are indeed different.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but say a few more words of comfort.

"Because it's the sky, that guy is particularly willful." He said, "When you talk about the sky, don't you often think of words like "freedom" and "vastness"? That guy is such a cursed spirit."

The cursed spirit with long blue hair tilted its head.

"Such a cursed spirit?"

Louhu gave a twisted smile.

"He is the sky that devours everything," he said. "So, he lures in and absorbs whatever he likes until it becomes a part of himself. This is his nature."

He patted the Curse Spirit kid's head awkwardly to comfort him.

"Don't worry, after he absorbs all the toys over there, he will come back to us." He said as a matter of course, "Then you can play house together again."

After saying this, he thought about the fact that he had come all the way to see the guy in the sky and that he had already completed the weekend meeting, so he turned around and left.

After walking for a while without feeling the little tail following him, Louhu turned around and saw the cursed spirit with long blue hair standing there with his face covered.

Crying, crying?

Curse Spirit Louhu had seen all kinds of scenes... Sorry, he had never seen this scene before and he immediately became a little flustered.

Then I heard laughter coming from the real person's mouth.

"Playing house...hahaha, playing house..." A look full of malice yet mixed with a strange innocence emerged from between his fingers, causing Lou Hu in the distance to be stunned for a moment. He murmured, "We agreed to play house together."

Damn, this kid can’t be really stupid... Will it be useful for the cursed spirit to find a human doctor?

…

…

Tsunayoshi Sawada returned to Otsukotsu Yuta only after dealing with his cursed "companions".

The young man with the black hedgehog hair stared at him gloomily because of his temporary escape, with an expression of "unhappiness" written all over his face.

Mr. Curse Spirit, who said he would accompany the other party but sneaked out, touched his nose.

Listening to the accusations from the boys and girls.

Then I stayed with my child obediently throughout the day's classes.

No matter how angry he was, he had calmed down by now. What's more, Yuta Otsutsuka found a cute little fried egg in his lunch box that Tsuna had put there at some point. He felt heartbroken every time he took a bite.

After thinking it over, he stuffed it into the bag and handed it to Satoka, who had the same lunch box. The painful expression on her face almost made Sawada Tsunayoshi laugh out loud.

Children are so cute.

But there are also some that are not so cute.

After school, when Okkotsu Yuta was walking towards the alley where Riko could hug him in a good mood, he found a gangster at the school gate.

There was another person next to the gangster, pointing at him with a fierce look in his eyes - it was none other than the yellow-haired guy who had humiliatingly written his name in blood yesterday.

"Taro-kun! It's him! It was this bastard who sent me to the hospital yesterday!"

Otsutsuki Yuta:.

Unlike yesterday, he was not so nervous and scared today.

Because Tsuna-ge is here, even if she gets hurt or something, Ri-ka won't be angry.

Just as he was thinking this, the "Brother Gang" whom he respected stood behind him and pushed him gently.

The force was not strong, but it was enough to make the young man, who was used to following his brother's orders, take a step forward.

By the time he reacted, he had already done something that seemed like he was responding to Huangmao's words.

Otsutsuki Yuta: ????

Outline outline outline brother? !

The brown-haired young man smiled and leaned over to whisper in his ear.

"That's scary, Yuta." He whispered, "Yuta, you must protect me and Riko."

How about protecting Tsuna and Rika?

Rixiang, who also heard this, poked her head out.

[Urika...protect Yuta...]

Sawada Tsunayoshi tilted his head in distress and raised one hand in front of his lips.

"It's not Riko who protects Yuta, it's Yuta who protects Riko," he said.

The black cursed spirit was stunned for a moment, and became bewildered like a child.

[I can’t be too worried… and get hurt… I can’t be too worried… and get hurt! 】

Sawada Tsunayoshi groaned, squatted down and rubbed the cursed spirit's head.

"You can, Yuta." He smiled, looking up at Yuta, and there was an unquestionable taste in his smile, "Don't you think so, Yuta?"

Okkotsu clenched his fists.

It has always been Riko who protected him.

After overcoming his fear of Satoshi's inhuman appearance, even Yuta Otsutsuki had this thought when he saw Satoshi angry because of his injury.

Ah, is there something wrong? - I thought to myself.

After all, when we agreed before, we didn't say that Ri-ka would get angry and crazy because of her injury.

On the contrary, according to the education he received, as a boy and as a "husband", he should be the one who protects Riko.

So he swallowed, and this time, no one pushed him gently from behind.

"I will... protect Satoshi." He whispered, "I won't let Satoshi go berserk... on the contrary, I will defeat them... I will protect Satoshi."

A few hooligans dressed in street clothes looked at each other. Due to the distance, I couldn't hear what he said clearly. I could only vaguely hear words like "beat".

Then they looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Unlike Huangmao and others who are students, these are hooligans who roam the streets. Although they came looking for a little kid and they were unarmed because they felt it was embarrassing to carry weapons, for the thin Okkotsu Yuta, they were still like a mountain that was difficult to cross.

Okkotsu Yuta swallowed his saliva and wanted to retreat.

But someone put a hand on his shoulder.

"It's okay." The man said with a smile, "Didn't I teach you this at home? Didn't You Tai do a good job last time when we chased away the bad guys who bullied Grandma Xiang?"

——He was also a lazy fellow. Seeing that Grandma Xiang lived alone, he forced Grandma Xiang to provide him with food and clothing... Obviously, he had nothing to do with Grandma Xiang, but just because Grandma Xiang was kind and gave him a meal, he took advantage of the powerless old woman.

After school, Yuta Otsutsuki saw him punching and kicking his mother-in-law who refused to provide him with food and gave him beautiful flowers.

When she came to her senses, she had already picked up the broom near Grandma Xiang's house and drove the man out.

All this was just because Tsuna had taught him a few tricks when he was free, and Otsuke Yuta heard that his own health would also make Satoshi healthier, so he started training early... But in front of an enemy stronger than himself, he still felt afraid.

"It's okay," he heard his respected brother say, "If you are afraid, just follow the secret I taught you."

So Okkotsu Yuta clenched his fists.

The guy with dyed gray hair had walked over slowly, saying something like "Ah, I don't want to bully kids, but you hit my little brother", and waved his fist at him.

The heavy and fast punch, which seemed extremely scary in the eyes of an ordinary junior high school student, became dull and slow in the eyes of Otkotsu Yuta.

But still scary.

He closed his eyes and thought of his brother's teachings.

He needs to protect Rixiang, but he can't always let Rixiang protect him and always let Rixiang make sacrifices.

The young man suddenly opened his eyes and used one hand to block the fist that was too heavy and big compared to himself.

I will protect Sarikatsu and Tsuna-nii no matter how hard I try!

…

On the top of the teaching building, the cursed spirit with long blue hair came back and looked down at the dark humans with its head tilted.

He couldn't understand why the brown cursed spirit kept the black one still and let the humans fight and get beaten. But when he saw the determination and cruelty flashing in the human's eyes, another sentence of Louhu suddenly rang in his mind.

[“That guy looks peaceful, but he’s actually very scary.”] Louhu said, [“Do you know what the characteristics of [Sky] are?”]

【“It’s [Harmony].”】

【“Absorb everything, accept everything, and color everything you accept with your own color.”】

【“He called this quality ‘harmony’.”】

The terrifying cursed spirit with only one eye tilted its head with an evil smile on its face.

[“What a horrible and bad-humored fellow, isn’t he?”]

The real person lowered his eyes and followed the gaze that was fixed on him.

As expected, it was the brown cursed spirit.

He watched the other person smile at him slowly and gently, and couldn't help licking his lips.

This curse made him want more and more...
