Tsunayoshi Sawada had a dream.

The dream was shaky and his head was also dizzy and swaying along with the dream.

But Sawada Tsunayoshi still tried his best to open his eyes wide, trying to see clearly the face of the guy sitting next to his bed.

No one spoke in the room, but some sounds suddenly rang in his ears.

【“I’m leaving tomorrow.”】

It was a familiar voice—the voice of his tutor who had been with him for ten years.

It was still the same lovely voice, but there was something more in it that even the confused Tsunayoshi Sawada couldn't understand.

He extended his hand, trying to keep the other person.

Don't go.

Sawada Tsunayoshi shouted silently, "Don't go, come back."

[“Hmph, are you ordering me around? You’re so stupid.”]

His tutor hadn't called him "Tsuna" for a long time. He usually called him "Tsuna Tsuna" and when he heard the other person calling him that, Tsunayoshi Sawada felt a little nostalgic.

But is now the time to fall in love?

No, it's not.

He grasped the corner of the other person's clothes tightly, and suddenly felt that the person in front of him was not the Reborn with a baby's body, but an adult with a bigger body.

But he didn't seem to notice the huge difference, and even vaguely felt that if it was Reborn, it would probably be like this.

Don't go.

So he opened his mouth and uttered a silent wail.

But when had he ever shaken his tutor?

So he could only watch the black figure leave, and after saying "goodbye", it jumped off the windowsill and walked away, gradually growing into the appearance of an adult.

The brown-haired young man lay there with a flushed face, his lips hardly moving at all, a furrow between his brows, a look of pain and sorrow.

I don’t know what kind of nightmare disturbed him, but after a long time, he finally opened his eyes in a cold sweat.

A shroud of black came into his eyes.

Sawada Tsunayoshi's brain, which had shut down due to overload, started to work slowly, and he reached out and grabbed the corner of the other person's clothes.

...Reborn?

…

Gin stood up.

The silver-furred beast only gave a cold look to the fellow who had fallen down after showing off at the critical moment, then he took back the corner of his clothes that was grabbed by the brown-haired young man and walked away with a cold expression.

The tip of my nose was filled with the scent of Seven Stars, probably the last one in Gin's hand.

Stimulated by the smell of smoke, Tsunayoshi Sawada finally distinguished the black-hatted killer from the other one. When he saw the other person leaving, he lowered his eyes slightly, suppressing those inappropriate emotions.

After a while, a man came in with a plate of vodka.

He looked rather cautious, and no one knew what was going on in those small eyes behind the sunglasses, which subtly made Sawada Tsunayoshi feel that he didn't want to have any contact with him.

Seeing Johnny Winner looking at him, Vodka secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"You're awake, would you like something to drink?"

The attentiveness of the smile made him wonder if this person had done something unfair to him behind his back.

But Sawada Tsunayoshi's throat was indeed a little dry, so he nodded, and Vodka kindly handed him the glass of water.

The sweetness of the honey water relieved the headache a little. Sawada Tsunayoshi could still feel the flames running in his body, but they were much tamer than when he touched the stone slab.

He silently guided the flames to calm down, then looked up and saw the vodka, and an idea came to his mind.

"Where is it?" he asked, leaving room for the other party to answer.

Vodka touched his head.

"It's the laboratory lounge," Vodka said with some toothache, "Don't worry, Johnny, the experimental data has been basically rescued, but the instruments are still inside. We may have to wait until it's safe to go in and get them."

What is experimental data rescue?

Sawada Tsunayoshi was stunned for a rare moment.

He looked at Vodka who was explaining seriously, and didn't notice that the other party was teasing him.

So he covered his head and made a pause gesture.

"Wait, wait," he pressed his forehead, at least he was sure that he was safe now, that the old crow hadn't died yet and hadn't labeled him a traitor. After calming down, he asked, "I feel a little dizzy... Can you tell me what happened again?"

Vodka was stunned for a moment, then revealed a look that looked like loving.

"Of course." He patted his chest and said.

From Vodka, Sawada Tsunayoshi learned that this incident was fabricated by Gin into a story in which Rum tried to rebel against the Boss, but was suppressed by the brave and loyal Johnny Vodka and Gin. On the way, he accidentally destroyed a large instrument made by the Boss, causing an explosion that almost destroyed the entire several-story underground laboratory.

"The problem now is that we are trapped inside... Hey, it's okay. Big brother has just contacted the guys outside. Chianti and the others have the situation under control. I think the rescue will be here soon."

Sawada Tsunayoshi: …

He pinched his eyebrows painfully.

Even if he didn't control his strength, the Death Flame wouldn't have exploded... The only explanation is that Gin did this to shift the focus of the matter and gain some time to buffer.

Thinking of Gin who had a cold face just now, Sawada Tsunayoshi felt subtly guilty.

Although there was a tacit agreement, what he did was not an ordinary thing... When this lie that had been woven from the beginning was revealed, he was not surprised at all even if Gin really chose Crow.

Instead, it was Gin who chose him, which made Sawada Tsunayoshi feel subtly flattered.

But even so, he must be hated.

Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help but lower his head and sigh.

Little did he know that seeing him like this, Vodka actually breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

——God knows how terrified he was when he knew that the underground laboratory exploded and his eldest brother and Johnny Yingjia were still inside.

Even if he broke through the obstruction of other "colleagues" and went back to look for the big brothers, Vodka, who rarely had the opportunity to enter the lower level, still didn't know where the big brothers were.

Hearing the explosions coming from underground and the vibrations that were almost as strong as an earthquake, Vodka's heart sank.

But he still crawled to the elevator.

Oh no, is the elevator still usable at this time?

Just as he was anxiously waiting for the elevator to descend and finally found his elder brother according to the route he remembered, what he saw was his elder brother Gin, who was standing with his back to the aftermath of the explosion and carrying a bottle of Johnny English.

Vodka: Pupil earthquake!

The eldest brother is worthy of being the eldest brother. He did not show any panic when escaping in this situation. Instead, he was so domineering as if he was the one who blew up the laboratory.

Johnny was carried on his shoulders and seemed to have fainted.

He followed his eldest brother down to the bottom floor that he had never been to before. The safety gate was strong enough to block out the aftermath of the explosion. His eldest brother carried Johnny and walked to their current place with ease.

——Big brother, if you want to chase them away, just do it. Why do you have to carry them like you are carrying a bag of rice?

At the very least it should be a princess hug!

Vodka shed tears and felt sad. After finding out that he was safe, Vodka decided to go home at night and passionately write 800 words on the forum, thinking about the separation of his elder brother and Johnny in the explosion.

[“You should leave quickly.” The cold-blooded killer in black clothes and silver hair turned his back to the brown-haired young man, with one hand in the pocket of his black coat, looking cold and charming.

The brown-haired young man looked at him painfully and made up his mind: "No, you go first, I'll cover you."

Gin snorted indifferently: "Humph, Johnny, you are playing with fire."】

——Wuwuwu, their CP is so real! It’s really too real. Wuwuwuwu!

Sawada Tsunayoshi: …

Seeing that Vodka seemed to be in a bad mood, the Godfather hesitated for a moment and moved himself away from him to avoid being infected.

But I felt subtly relieved.

He sat up, and a cloth soaked in water for cooling his head fell down. Sawada Tsunayoshi caught it, and after sitting up he still felt a little dizzy.

This was normal, it often happened when he was young and reckless and accidentally bombed an island or something like that.

Under Vodka's worried gaze, Tsunayoshi Sawada stood up shakily, pressed his forehead and steadied himself.

——But he didn’t use that much strength today.

If Mr. Godfather were to go at full power, not to mention Crow's little device, even this underground laboratory would be able to be penetrated by him.

However, considering that there were countless members of the organization working diligently like worker ants, Sawada Tsunayoshi still held back and only destroyed the large device.

He paused and asked, "Where is the slate?"

Vodka's eyes showed through his sunglasses: "What?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi: …

After recognizing that the other party really didn't seem to know what he was talking about, Sawada Tsunayoshi was speechless for a long time.

But Vodka obviously knew something and nodded.

"If you mean the board where the explosion happened," the man gestured, "it's outside."

Vodka paused, glanced at Johnny, and added in a low voice, "Big brother too."

…

Tsunayoshi Sawada went out.

They were actually not far from the so-called explosion site, and most likely what Vodka saw was Gin coming back to pick him up after he had caused damage to other places.

Looking at the entire underground laboratory, the safest place is actually here - Crow's lounge.

He stepped over the mess on the ground and half-leaped to Gin's side.

The huge device was destroyed by him, but not completely. The device containing the real stone slab fell to the ground, but the stone slab was still higher than other places.

Gin was standing not far away, with a sullen face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Sawada Tsunayoshi wanted to ask Crow and Michizen, but he felt that now was not a good time to ask.

Compared to the previous state of mutual trust between the two as members of the organization and accomplices, although the two people are now standing very close, there seems to be an invisible barrier between them.

Mr. Godfather showed some hesitation, which was rare.

Forget it, I'll communicate with Gin after we get out.

He thought it was rare for his eyes to wander for a moment.

Then the pair of brown pupils fixed on one place.

Tsunayoshi Sawada didn't expect to see this thing here.

So much so that I didn't even notice it when my eyes passed by, but I reacted the next moment.

He walked forward quickly, and when he saw the thing clearly, his pupils contracted. He could hardly hide his shock and even uttered it out loud.

"Why are you here... in Arcobaleno..."

…

…

[“Arcobareno?”

Italy, in the afternoon, the little godfather, having eaten and drunk his fill, enjoyed his long-awaited vacation with the approval of his tutor.

His tutor was sitting next to him, and there was a small seat for babies in the white gazebo, so Reborn could talk to his little godfather on the same level even when he was sitting.

It’s just so thoughtful in weird places.

Reborn curled the corners of his lips when he heard the question from his disciple who had the same fish lips for ten years.

"Yes, it is Alcobaleno," he said. "As you know, there are seven people called the Sons of the Rainbow."

The young Sawada Tsunayoshi: ...

No he doesn't know!

Reborn: …

No you know.

The arbitrary and willful tutor said: "Just like the guardians of the Vongola, the seven of us correspond to seven different attributes of fire."

Sawada Tsunayoshi blinked in confusion.

"Seven?" The young man tilted his head. "Does that mean that Daisora ​​is also one of them?"

The tutor glanced at him, hummed, and nodded.

"That's right," he said. "What you are about to see is the sky of our Arcobaleno."

Wow--

Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at the baby-like Reborn and imagined an unknown person with a similarly short stature and a pacifier in his mind.

Then a hammer of justice struck him.

“It hurts, it hurts…Reborn!”

The young man protested, holding his head.

"I always feel like you're thinking about something rude." Reborn took Leon, who had turned back into a chameleon, and stared at Sawada Tsunayoshi with his big dark eyes, then jumped onto his shoulder. "Don't show this stupid expression when you see Arya."

The young leader held his head aggrievedly and said yes.

It is said to be a long-awaited vacation, but in fact it is also thanks to this legendary "Chief of the Rainbow Sons".

Because of the other party's visit, Reborn, who was working very hard on Sawada Tsunayoshi's homework at the time, finally relaxed a little and gave this silly child who was overwhelmed by homework some time to breathe.

Therefore, even though they had not met formally yet, Sawada Tsunayoshi had already developed a better impression of the leader of the Rainbow Children, whom he had never met.

And the other party is indeed a approachable woman.

Unlike the typical Japanese mother, Arya, the leader of Kirionero, has created a completely different life.

She is passionate and cheerful, like a red rose in full bloom, blooming intensely during its blooming period.

Arya treated Sawada Tsuneyoshi, who was also a cube of the seventh power, with equal respect and care. In just half a day, he had become a reliable older sister-like figure.

After a few exchanges, Sawada Tsunayoshi hesitantly raised his doubts like a testing rabbit.

For example, why does Miss Arya look different from Reborn and the others, and what exactly is Arcobaleno. These are questions that Reborn only answers occasionally, but Arya is willing to answer them.

"So, will Alcobaleno also die?" asked Tsunayoshi Sawada.

The woman with short dark green hair and a heroic appearance couldn't help but rub the brown-haired young man's head and sigh.

"Of course." She answered softly, unwilling to succumb to fate, but had to succumb to fate, "Whether it's me or Uncle Reborn, we will all die eventually. This is human nature - but perhaps our death will come more suddenly than others."

She smiled and said, "Perhaps in another parallel world, we are already dead."

This is a very normal thing.

Even Sawada Tsunayoshi knew this well.

But just putting the word "death" together with Reborn, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

——That’s Reborn, it’s Reborn!

The little godfather, who usually fights and quarrels but actually has a very thick filter for his tutor, was inwardly amazed and couldn't help feeling depressed.

The depression of several days made the Vongola members worried. Some of his friends came back from thousands of miles away to climb through the window and gave him a bunch of white lilies picked from the flower garden when the first dewdrop fell in the morning; some played games with him online through video and chatted for almost the whole night; and one imitated the last one and live-streamed the migration of animal families in the tropical forest for him... Aren't you here on a mission, big brother? Why are you observing the animal world!

I just feel tired.

Sawada Tsunayoshi rubbed himself with great difficulty, at least making himself look so that his partners would not worry.

But he could hide it from his partners, but he could not hide it from his tutor. Finally, during one of countless sleepless nights, his tutor stood at the head of his bed with a gun in his hand.

Sawada Tsunayoshi: …

"Are you finally going to expel me from your school, Reborn?" The Godfather sniffed and wiped away his tears in a serious manner.

Reborn, who was summoned back by the Vongola SOS call while on a business trip, pulled his hat with one hand and held Len with the other hand as he faced the grinning guy.

"Do you want to go to Sanzu River, idiot?" He used a name that he hadn't used for a while, emphasizing the stupidity of the stupid student. Then he sighed subtly in his heart, sat on the head of Sawada Tsunayoshi's bed, and his two legs swung cutely.

The tutor took out a cross from somewhere and held a Bible in his other hand. Len was shining behind him, trying hard to create the effect of Buddha's light shining everywhere (something was wrong).

"The Vongola confessional," Reborn said. "It only costs five dollars a time. Want to try it?"

This is the tutor's implicit concern.

Normally, the little godfather would have shouted "Reborn" in anger at this moment, and then muttered something about why he was troubled, but he got stuck.

He sniffed and hugged the strange-looking tutor tightly.

“Reborn——” He shed tears with true emotion. Thinking of the countless futures he had imagined without Reborn, grievance and fear suddenly surged into his heart, “Don’t die, wuwuwu——”

"I won't let you die——Reborn——"】

…

Gin turned around.

The silver-haired killer had no expression on his face, but his aura was indescribably cold.

However, this coldness subtly showed signs of melting when it touched the Godfather's expression.

Gin actually didn't really want to bother with this guy.

At least that's the case for now.

Although it is not obvious on the surface, the big brother of the winery is actually feeling quite annoyed.

However, the cigarettes that comforted him when he was in a bad mood were still stuffed in his bag, and the fire on his body caused the things upstairs to explode, causing Gin to be in a dilemma without fire for a while.

This is even more annoying.

Seeing the brown-haired guy pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, Gin wanted to take out his Beretta again and shoot the guy who deceived him.

But in the end I didn't do that.

It was not because Gin suddenly awakened the love mind that he had been thinking about before Vodka, but because he found that Tsunayoshi Sawada was trembling.

Yes, trembling.

Gin approached him in silence, as he had rarely seen this guy in such a vulnerable state since they had met. While trying to determine if this was just another act, he approached him cautiously.

At this moment, Sawada Tsunayoshi could hardly devote his attention to Gin.

He picked up the petrified pacifier from the ruins, his expression shocked, bewildered, and with a hint of pain.

Reborn.

The name kept circling in his mind. His mind told him that this was not Reborn, but great pain still swept over him.

"This is the item found with the slab."

From behind another door, Tongshan came out. The compassionate master even pushed Karasuma Renya - it was Karasuma Renya who said these words.

Crow was no longer as respectable as before. He didn't know why Gin didn't kill him, but he was still extremely ferocious. Bullets penetrated his body and blood flowed out, dripping onto the ground, leaving a trail of bloody marks wherever he passed.

Karasuma Renya looked at the brown-haired young man with evil intent. Seeing his painful expression, he still felt comfortable even though it was not something he had given.

"You seem to know what this is," he said. "It doesn't look like anything good. My Johnny Wins, poor boy, what is this?"

No one paid any attention to him.

But Karasuma Renya didn't need anyone's attention. He laughed "hehe" and countless vicious guesses flashed through his mind. Finally, he recalled an experiment about the "fire of life".

——During the experiment, the researchers followed the analyzed principles and performed reverse operations on the experimental rabbits whose life fire had been activated.

The result was so amazing that he still remembers it today.

The poor experiment lost the vitality it was given and gradually disappeared in the further withdrawal.

If you observe carefully, you will find that the rabbit does not disappear directly, but is first transformed into stone, and then turned into powder and disappeared on the spot.

So Karasuma Renya laughed maliciously, not sparing no effort to provoke the young man who had caused his plan to fail with the greatest malice.

He's going to die anyway, isn't he?

——"Or, are they the ashes of a child you knew?"

He asked.

This question entered Sawada Tsunayoshi's mind.

The pain brought by the flames alerted him and kept Sawada Tsunayoshi on the edge of clarity and chaos.

However, after hearing what Karasuma Renya said, he still fell into a trance for a moment.

In his memory, a certain tutor was hugged by him and finally understood the fear of Sawada Tsunayoshi when he was a teenager. He couldn't help but smile and patted his shoulder with his little hand.

[“It doesn’t matter. I won’t die.” His tutor vowed, “At least I will live until your family dies.”

——After all, he has killed many mafia members. 】

So Sawada Tsunayoshi lowered his eyes, suppressed all his emotions, and tried his best to remain calm, as if he didn't care about it.

"fraud."

However, he still couldn't help but speak.

"He's just a liar."
