Chapter 14 Namimori Daily Life (Part 10)

Moonlight filters through the trees, sparse like remnants of snow.

Reborn took a sip of coffee, his gaze fixed on Yaochuan Ling with eyes as white as snow.

Every conversation I had with her took place at night.

Nighttime seems to be the perfect time to confide in someone.

After the accident that evening, he noticed that Yao Chuanling had a sparkly pendant around her neck.

A very unique rhombus-shaped pendant.

Judging from her expression upon her return, things weren't as bad as they had initially seemed. Considering the elves' purpose in coming to this world, Reborn calmly analyzed the situation.

"Tell me, you didn't just call me here to look at the moon, did you?"

He looked at the dazed Yao Chuanling and asked.

The elf loved watching the clouds, trees, and flowers, and also the stars and the moon. Reborn knew her well; if he didn't interrupt her in time, Yaochuan Ling would fall asleep.

Seeing the moon filled me with joy, and I momentarily forgot about my business.

Interrupted from moon-gazing, Yao Chuanling withdrew her gaze, dazedly wondering what she had come here for.

Brain is starting up—3, 2, 1.

"I'm so sorry."

I'm awake now.

The elf removed the pendant and held it in her palm, a faint green light shining through her fingers like a cluster of fireflies. Her green eyes, mirroring the spring of life, shone with a smile that was both apologetic and triumphant.

"Ta-da!"

She proudly handed it to Reborn and slowly opened it.

"What is this?"

Reborn was in a good mood and was happy to play these childish tricks with her, pretending to be a real child with a curious and innocent voice.

But he was genuinely curious.

Just being near it makes me feel much more comfortable.

"It's used to lift the curse on Reborn!"

Yao Chuanling said happily.

Every Alcbareno is cursed to be a baby. This was mentioned during Rokudo Mukuro's duel with Tsuna, and the spirits listening in took it to heart.

So when Yaochuan Ling got this thing, the first person he thought of was Reborn.

When you're sleepy, I'll bring you a pillow.

Thank you to her as she grew up.

Without a doubt, the world's number one assassin was tempted. In the years before he became a baby, Reborn traveled to many places in search of a way to break the curse, but all his efforts ended in failure.

After many years, he has accepted himself as he is.

But compared to Yokawa Rei, Reborn has more to consider.

His first question was whether it would have any impact on her.

He wanted to break the curse, but he didn't necessarily have to. Reborn wasn't willing to waste time on things that might affect Yao Chuanling.

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Yao Chuan Ling heard the implied meaning in the song and knew that Reborn was thinking of her, so she immediately said that it would not have any impact.

Daiyo Kawarei gave himself a bug that could be used in any world.

The girl's imagination ran wild; could this be considered giving herself a cheat code?

It's a pity it's only a trial card.

Reborn noticed her expression, frowned slightly, and took another sip of coffee.

He wasn't the only one cursed by Alcbareno; no one wanted to lose their original form.

They are the seven strongest people in the world, in other words, the seven most dangerous people in the world.

If this matter is exposed, it will likely bring Yao Chuanling endless trouble.

"It's fine."

It was a bit of a shame that she took Reborn's coffee.

"And... I have a feeling I'll be running away soon."

Ever since the Obsidian War, she had a vague feeling that day was approaching. The ten-year-old rocket launcher further reminded her why she had come here.

Yao Chuanling understood a little why they were looking for her when she was fourteen.

Because at this point in time, she still has plenty of time to experience and grow through it, allowing her to treat it as a journey.

She understood her older siblings' intentions.

"Use some of it."

Ribao appreciated her kindness, and even though he had no expectations, he was still willing to try with her.

The items are valuable; it's best to keep them for her own protection.

The young teacher wouldn't ask her why she did it; he already knew from their first meeting that Yao Chuanling would answer cheerfully—because Reborn is nice.

Look, he is lucky to have met a group of children with pure hearts.

The light in his palm grew brighter and brighter, continuously flowing into the pacifier on Haruko's chest. Like peeling away layers of silk, Reborn felt much lighter.

Through the shimmering light, he gazed intently at Yao Chuanling's face.

Anchor point.

In a world of eight trillion trillion, Reborn serves as her anchor, guiding her to this world where they only ever meet.

Will we meet again in the future?

The curse slowly dissipated, and Reborn grew a year older every six months until he returned to his original appearance. Ten years later, he was a young man.

“Grazie infinite”.

"The core of this is the world's number one assassin, a mature Italian man," he said solemnly, using his native language.

In Yao Chuanling's view, the little teacher, who was still a baby, was pretending to be an adult, and her voice was still childish.

The Vongola originated in Sicily, and as its heir, Tsunayoshi Sawada must learn Italian.

Reborn taught her Italian in social classes, and Rokudo Mukuro would also teach her a little when he entered her dreams, so her Italian improved by leaps and bounds.

Oh dear, he secretly learned from Tsuna.

The audacious child reached out and pinched Reborn's cheek, then slipped away before Reborn could react.

Teasing words drifted on the wind.

"Don't pretend to be a grown-up, little one. Just accept my thanks."

This time, he genuinely didn't react. Yao Chuanling's actions seemed premeditated.

Reborn angrily pulled out his gun and fired several shots at the spot where she had left.

They didn't manage to kill him, but they made an example of him.

you are done!

The baby thought bitterly.

The leaves rustled in the woods, the shadows of the branches swayed, and the clear moonlight poured down through the gaps in the trees.

"The moonlight tonight is flawless."

After a long while, he looked at the moon and said.
