Familiar saying.

Sawada Tsunayoshi's memory was instantly pulled back to several years ago. Amid the accompaniment of explosions and flames, an ambitious man named Mori Ogai also spoke the same words and said similar words to him when he just came to this world.

The moment of distraction was caught by the black-haired man.

Mori Ougai's mood at the moment was visibly good, and he had just succeeded in "hypnosis", so he raised his eyebrows and looked very caring.

"What's wrong, Tsunayoshi?"

A more intimate term of address is used.

Sawada Tsunayoshi was surprised by the other party's sharpness, and naturally showed a dazed look.

"I always feel... that my brother has said something similar to me before." He answered in a low voice.

Little did he know that Akizawa Tsunayoshi was not actually hypnotized - of course, Mori Ogai still maintained a reserved attitude towards this matter. After all, so many years had passed, and "Amaterasu" was almost able to fight against the level of transcendents. He actually did not have complete confidence in this sloppy plan - Mori Ogai thought of the events of several years ago, and his eyes narrowed a lot.

"Yes," he answered readily, reaching out his hand, ready to ruffle the brown hair as if he had practiced it countless times.

Sawada Tsunayoshi dodged subconsciously.

As if hurt by this unexpected evasion, Sen Ou's pupils suddenly widened, revealing a somewhat hurt look.

"Ah, Tsuneyoshi, you just woke up, so it's normal that you don't remember your brother." He said this and quickly put away the hurt expression on his face.

——Deceiving people.

Regardless of whether this "injury" is real or fake, even if it is true, given Mori Ougai's personality, he would not easily show it in front of others.

Not to mention that it's obvious that this is fake.

Sawada Tsunayoshi knew this clearly, but after trying to figure it out according to the "acting method" taught by Lan Tang, he felt that he should be a initialized little idiot now.

...Wait, why is it another little idiot? He just can't get along with artificial idiots, right?

Anyway, the Godfather, who had learned the acting skills of his tutor 100% after sighing inwardly, stretched out his hand in panic.

"That's not what I meant," Tsunayoshi Sawada, who was experiencing this kind of thing for the first time at least, waved his hands in panic, but he didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to touch the injured black-haired young man in front of him rashly, so he could only stand there, looking pitiful.

Mori Ou maintained his expression and observed the expression of the artificial little idiot (not really), and the progress of his verification in his mind slowed down a lot.

But he was not completely reassured, so he continued to perform.

"It's okay, brother knows everything." Sen Ou lowered his eyes and slightly changed the angle and direction of his standing. He used the external light to weaken his increasingly dangerous aura after becoming a gangster boss, and looked quite weak.

But despite this, despite being a weak man, he still looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi with a gentle gaze, as if he were a real brother.

Sawada Tsunayoshi: …

He felt a chill down his spine at the look that was totally incompatible with the name "Sen Ou Wai" and couldn't help rubbing the goose bumps on his arms.

You have grown up, Mr. Mori.

——And, a strange sense of relief arose.

Of course, his good brother Mori Ogai noticed his actions. The humanoid computer thought for a moment and looked at the central air conditioning above Sawada Tsunayoshi's head.

"It's my fault for making you stand under the air conditioner. It's a bit cold now, isn't it?" He stretched out his hand and led Sawada Tsunayoshi from where he was standing to his side. This time, he was not rejected by the brown-haired boy.

Mori Ougai showed great patience as he looked at the artificial god with an awkward expression. It seemed as if he had returned to the time when he was still on Chang'an Island.

"It's okay." He said, not sure whether he was talking to Tsunayoshi Sawada or himself, showing great patience.

Sawada Tsunayoshi couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

He lowered his head, pursed his lips, and hesitantly allowed the other person to show thoughtful care towards him.

Finally, there was a knock on the door, and a woman named "Ozaki Koyo" gracefully appeared in the leader's office.

"This must be His Highness Tsuneyoshi." After greeting the leader, the woman with long orange hair looked towards Sawada Tsuneyoshi.

Her beautiful eyes moved and settled on the brown-haired young man.

Sawada Tsunayoshi naturally had no idea what Akimori Ogai had said to her.

However, when I saw Alice's head popping out from behind Ozaki Kouyo, I knew it must be Mori Ogai's arrangement.

He shrank back a little towards Sen Gu, showing that he had developed some initial trust in the other party.

Sure enough, the man curled his lips because of this action.

"Yes, for some reason, Tsunayoshi lost his original memory," he folded his hands in front of him, as if what he said was true, "so he will be handed over to you for a while, is that okay, Momiji-kun?"

This is simply nonsense.

After all, when your boss asks you a question, it doesn't mean he is asking for information.

No way, no way. No one really thinks that capitalists will consult workers' opinions, right?

Ozaki Koyo seems to understand this well.

She was wearing a kimono that looked complicated, but the amazing thing was that her temperament was able to fully handle this complicated and exquisite kimono. She was not overwhelmed by the clothes, but instead looked to complement them.

Ozaki Kouyo, who looked like a noble lady from Heian-kyo, covered her lips with one hand and responded with a smile.

"Then I will take His Highness Tsuneyoshi to familiarize himself with the environment of the port mafia." She slightly curved her exposed eye and extended her hand to Sawada Tsuneyoshi, "Please come, His Highness Tsuneyoshi."

Due to some reasons, Sawada Tsunayoshi's liking for Ozaki Koyo is much higher than Mori Ogai (crossed out).

But he still remembered his character, and looked timidly (?) at Mori Ogai. After obtaining permission from Mori Ogai, who was still acting like a brother, he took a small step towards Ozaki Koyo reluctantly.

"I see." He muttered, "So when can I see you again?"

It sounds like she has developed an attachment to this cheap brother.

Mori Ouwai smiled calmly.

"It will be quick," he patiently comforted the boy, "I'll be home with you after I finish my work, okay?"

The brown-haired boy said "Oh" and lowered his head. If there were leaves on his head, it would have become wilted.

Hmm... not pineapple leaves.

Seeing him like this, Sen Ou Wai felt even more satisfied.

He winked at Ozaki Momiji, and the woman who was caught by the leader to discipline the child walked up slowly and pressed the brown-haired boy's shoulders without saying a word.

"Good boy, let's go." Perhaps because she was talking to a teenager, her voice was gentle and kind, and she didn't look like a ruthless mafia at all.

Sawada Tsunayoshi left obediently and reluctantly.

After escaping the gaze of Moriou, the young man let out an imperceptible breath.

He followed behind Ozaki Kouyo and passed by the stern-faced Dazai Osamu.

The young man with black hair and ivy-like eyes was in a hurry. Even when facing the respected Ozaki Koiyo, his expression only softened slightly and he nodded to her.

What about Sawada Tsunayoshi?

He didn't even spare her a glance.

The two groups of people quickly merged like two straight lines and then separated. It was not until they turned around the corridor almost at the same time that the two of them secretly complained in their hearts.

Sawada Tsunayoshi/Dazai Osamu: The acting is so good, Dazai/Tsunayoshi.

…

…

Tsunayoshi Sawada followed closely behind Koyo Ozaki.

As one of the five main members of the Port Mafia, Ozaki Koyo knows this building like the back of her hand.

Although Mori Ogai only said vaguely to her to come up and pick up his brother, Ozaki Koyo knew nothing about the identity and other information of the boy behind him.

She deliberately slowed down her pace and walked parallel to the shy-looking boy. She couldn't help laughing when she saw him shiver like a weak little rabbit, hesitantly but bravely meeting her gaze.

What a lovely child.

Ozaki Kouyo thought.

I just don't know why it fell into the hands of His Highness Mori...

Thinking of this, Ozaki Koyo couldn't help but look at the young man again.

The fact that he looked like he was over twelve years old made her feel relieved. Looking at the ignorant boy who didn't know anything, she consoled herself that at least he wasn't kidnapped from somewhere by Mori Owl after he went crazy...

As she was thinking this, a brown head appeared before her eyes.

"M-Ms. Hongye?"

The address he used was that Dazai Osamu had used when they met in the corridor just now.

Ozaki Kouyo was strangely silent for a moment, looking at the soft brown thing, and the worry that had just been put at ease in her heart started to rise again.

The golden Yaksha with special abilities was ready to make a move behind him. After all, no one said that the leader's so-called defense range under 12 years old really was under 12 years old, right?

This child looks like he is only about 14 or 15 years old, or even 10 years old...

Thinking of this, the Golden Yaksha was about to raise his sword.

Sawada Tsunayoshi blinked and saw words of supernatural power floating behind the other person.

His heart tightened.

However, after quickly reflecting on whether I had missed anything, I felt that there was nothing wrong.

So he looked up at Ozaki Kouye cautiously and called out softly, "Sister Kouye?"

Ozaki Kouyo came to her senses.

She looked at the young man with a pale face (he had not slept at night because he was forced by Lan Tang to make up lessons), and felt a surge of pity when she thought that he might meet with the murderous hands of his own leader.

She touched the boy's cheek as a comfort, stretched out her hand, slowed down her pace, and led the boy to her office at a leisurely pace.

"Is Tsuna-kun the leader's younger brother?" she asked slowly.

Sawada Tsunayoshi blushed a little.

Being led by an adult woman in gorgeous clothes like this, he felt as if he was actually a teenager being led by an elder on the road.

But he is not a teenager.

But this cute reaction was exactly what Ozaki Koyo wanted.

Although she is stern and fierce to outsiders, when it comes to her own people, Ozaki Koyo is a typical "big sister" as Dazai calls her.

Even a naughty cat like Dazai Osamu, when facing Ozaki Koyo, has to lower his ears and meow softly.

Not to mention Tsunayoshi Sawada, who hasn't been around older women for a long time.

The last time I saw my mother was in a video, and the first time I acted coquettishly in front of her face to face was during the Chinese New Year.

Of course, there is no such thing as annual leave for the tenth generation of Vongola.

Logically speaking, he is the boss of Vongola, and Vongola is his family. How can "I love my family and I work for my family" be called work? But in fact, after becoming the tenth generation of Vongola, Tsunayoshi Sawada became one of those who became successful at a young age. Not only did he become a corporate slave in the family business early, he didn't even have a few days of annual leave.

But as an ordinary office worker who has been stationed at the company branch in Italy for many years, Tsunayoshi Sawada must have that kind of thing.

Even if it could be called overtime, he couldn't work overtime every year - yes, he worked overtime every year - so no matter how much work he had, he would still squeeze out a few pitiful days every year to return to Japan and lie on his mother's lap and act coquettishly.

All of Sawada Tsunayoshi's impressions of female elders come from his mother.

——Of course, people like Bi Yangqi don’t count.

Therefore, while being held by Ozaki Koyo, Sawada Tsunayoshi blushed subtly, but also felt a sense of regret.

I miss my mom a little.

I don’t know how my mother is doing now and whether she is doing well.

Did Dad hide the news of his death? Mom...what would Mom be like if she knew about his death?

Just thinking about it, Sawada Tsunayoshi's face turned pale, and his heart seemed to be pinched by someone, and even breathing became difficult.

Such changes naturally did not escape Ozaki Koyo's attention.

The woman, whose five senses were originally more acute than those of ordinary people, hesitated for a moment, leaned down slightly, and pressed Sawada Tsunayoshi's shoulders.

"Tsuna-kun?" She called the boy's name worriedly.

However, the young man with short brown hair subconsciously grabbed the clothes in front of his chest. When he raised his eyes, there was a hint of tears in his eyes for some reason.

She was flustered for a moment, quickly asked about the boy's condition, and patted Sawada Tsunayoshi gently on the back with one hand.

A suppressed sound came from the boy's throat.

When Ozaki Koyo heard those syllables, she was stunned.

Her eyes widened in disbelief and she moved closer.

"mother?"

——The words spoken by the boy confirmed her imagination of the syllables she had just heard.

…

"How is it, Dazai-kun." On the other side, Mori Ogai, who was in a good mood, looked at the young man who pushed the door open with a smile, and pink flowers flew subtly behind him.

Dazai Osamu's expression froze for a moment.

He was silent for a while, then went back and closed the door.

"Excuse me."

——He took the wrong path.

But Mori Ouwai did not give him the chance to see another self by opening the door.

When Dazai Osamu opened the door again, he saw Mori Ougai, who made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Dazai Osamu: ...

"This is horrible," he muttered. "Is it because I stayed up all night that I am hallucinating? This is horrible. I actually saw Mr. Mori smiling at me. What kind of hellish joke is this?"

The loud noise, which was not deliberately concealed, reached the ears of those outside the forest.

However, the leader of the gang did not pay attention to the young man's minor impoliteness, but instead smiled even more deeply.

"This is all thanks to you," he said. "If it weren't for Dazai-kun, I would probably be in a state of panic right now."

The man's eyes were full of sincerity when he said this, and no one would doubt that there was anything false in what he said.

But the two people here - whether it was Mori Ogai or Dazai Osamu, knew that this was just a polite remark.

Dazai Osamu even yawned to express his disdain for this sentence.

"Really?" He stretched out his tone. "But it is true. After all, Mr. Lantang defected, and the lamb he wanted to kidnap was not kidnapped... Even Mr. Mori feels a little troubled, right?"

After saying this, Mori Owl's ahoge (? ) drooped down.

"Yeah." The man sighed, "In this case, even if it's just the direct loss of two officers... At this critical moment of the expansion of the port mafia, this is simply a fatal injury."

Dazai Osamu looked at it and couldn't help but yawn again.

"So what is that thing?" he couldn't help asking, "It can make you laugh even though you lost Lan Tang and the lamb... It can't be something comparable to a nuclear weapon, right?"

He deliberately used words that would make himself, Sawada Tsunayoshi, and Nakahara Chuuya look unfamiliar, but he did not get Mori Ogai's denial.

Dazai Osamu's heart skipped a beat (No).

He raised his head to look at Mori Owl's expression and exaggeratedly made a surprised expression.

"Wow... no way?"

The young man, who always seemed to be able to handle everything with ease, murmured in surprise.

The forest gull holds its cheek.

"It's a super weapon that can destroy Japan." He answered naturally.

As Dazai Osamu's expression first turned surprised and then suspicious, the black-haired man closed his eyes and smiled again.

"Just kidding." He curled his eyes perfunctorily and said in a very official way, "Because Tsunayoshi is my younger brother."

This made Dazai Osamu look as if he had eaten a fly.

"Yue——" he complained expressionlessly, "You two have nothing in common, are you half-brothers?"

Is it true? Is it true? Apart from Sawada Tsunayoshi and his bunch of stupid brothers, is there anyone who would believe in the idea of ​​half-brothers?

But Sen Ou thought about it and continued to look away.

"Well, who knows?"

Dazai Osamu: ...

He felt like he was going to vomit if he continued.

The black-haired young man quickly changed the subject and started talking about his recent work.

It took him a lot to adapt to Mori Ogai switching back to leader mode, but even at this time, Dazai Osamu knew clearly that what he saw was not Mori Ogai's original appearance.

No, whether it is Mr. Mori or anyone else, they always wear masks when facing others.

Or maybe it's because Mr. Mori is a human being and not a complete calculator that he shows such a masked attitude.

But even so, Dazai Osamu felt like he was about to vomit out his disgust.

At times like this, I miss some guys who I can see through at a glance. Because it is so simple, it doesn’t matter to them whether they wear a mask or not... But at times like this, I have to be careful that they are too easy to understand and make me feel bored.

It’s not a big deal, Dazai Osamu thought lightly, it’s better than the gloomy Mr. Mori anyway.

But here’s the thing…

His expression became strange.

Who exactly is Tsunayoshi-kun, who was described by Mr. Mori like that?

You know, even Nakahara Chuuya has not received such an evaluation from Mr. Mori.

And judging from Mr. Mori's appearance, the two men definitely knew each other - of course, it was Mori Ogai who first asked him to approach Sawada Tsunayoshi.

However, the man was still in a state of observation at that time, so he was not allowed to do anything. Instead, he was tacitly allowed to maintain a vague distance between him and Sawada Tsunayoshi.

However, at this point, he had not been surprised that Mori Ogai would attack Sawada Tsunayoshi.

After all, as he had just said in front of Morio, without Randou and Nakahara Chuuya, who was originally considered a sure thing, the expansion of the port mafia became particularly difficult.

This does not conform to Mori Ouwai's five-year development plan for the port mafia.

That's why they took the risk of mobilizing members from another faction - logically speaking, for such a top-secret matter, they shouldn't use people other than Mori Owl who they don't trust very much.

This is a very bad strategy in the hands of a man who believes in the best solution.

But he still used it.

Now, the guy who was able to "hypnotize" Tsunayoshi Sawada has probably been invited to some secret place and is being strictly controlled as a tool to control Tsunayoshi Sawada.

As a member of the group that was originally planned to be eliminated outside the Forest Owl, it is unclear whether it is lucky or unfortunate for that person.

Putting aside all his thoughts, Dazai Osamu thought for a moment, and his heavy steps suddenly became light as he walked in a certain direction.

"At this time, Ango should not be off work yet, right?" The black-haired young man with iris eyes muttered to himself, and quickly answered his own question, "Of course, of course, after all, he is Ango, the strongest 007 in the Port Mafia, how can he ever get off work?"

Then it’s decided, Ango, it’s you!

——Don’t come over here!!

…

Muttering to himself, "Don't come over here," Tsunayoshi Sawada retreated into the room assigned to him.

He slammed himself into the pillow, feeling that his entire reputation had been ruined in an instant.

No, no, I just said it when I accidentally thought of my mom... Ahhhhh, how could he make such a mistake! And Hongye-sister looks so young and yet I want her to be my mom... She's really good-natured for not getting beaten into a cookie on the spot.

The tenth generation leader of the Vongola sniffed and decided to hide this experience deep in his memory.

However, perhaps because the soft brown-haired boy really aroused an emotion that could be called maternal love, Ozaki Koyo changed her original plan and did not stuff Sawada Tsunayoshi into the dormitory of ordinary members of the Port Mafia. Instead, she thought about it and found a relatively safe and comfortable house among her dozen properties and stuffed the boy into it.

Sawada Tsunayoshi sniffed and searched the room but didn't see any surveillance measures.

Then he turned and left the house, muttering, "I have to buy some daily necessities."

After carefully making sure that he was not being followed, Tsunayoshi Sawada put on his hood, put on his headphones, and dialed a number that he had accidentally memorized earlier.

"Yes, it's me, Sawada Tsunayoshi."

Half of his face was hidden under the hood. He bent one hand and tapped the edge of the phone lightly, transmitting the tapping sound to the other side.

"Maybe you need one of these?" There was a chuckle in his voice. Although it was just a young boy's voice, it sounded inexplicably seductive.

He gently drew the attention of the person in front of him.

"Mr. Taneda."
