Chapter 15 refers to the Ring Battle (Part 1)

In July, during summer vacation, the usually restless and curious child unusually declined everyone's invitation to go to the zoo.

She got up unusually early and rushed into the mall with a very clear purpose.

She had been to the Namishō Shopping Mall many times and knew it like the back of her hand.

But in the past, Kyoko, Koharu, and Hana always came with her, so Yaochuan Ling was a little unaccustomed to being alone all of a sudden.

Because this matter must be carried out secretly, no one can know about it in advance.

She deliberately chose a day when Hibari Kyoya wasn't home, and with the bank card he gave her in her pocket, she began a massive shopping spree.

Meanwhile, the chairman, who was patrolling the streets, heard his cell phone ringing incessantly.

He impatiently opened his phone and saw a series of text messages about charges.

8:09, 8:17, 8:29...

Since elves are considered unregistered in this world and can't get bank cards, Hibari Kyoya simply let her use his card.

I got up quite early today.

The cardholder frowned, turned off the notification SMS, and called Yao Chuanling.

"Are you at the mall?"

Hibari Kyoya scrolled through his text message history; there were no fewer than ten messages.

He calmly accepted Yao Chuanling's extravagant spending.

No problem, we can afford to raise them.

It's just that her early rising is surprising.

Unaware that the other party could receive the text message, the little elf furtively looked around, suspecting that his whereabouts had been exposed.

"Yes, to buy things."

She blurred the key words and gave a vague answer.

Little Sunflower, you must hold back, or there will be no surprise if you tell.

Fortunately, Hibari Kyoya didn't press her about what she bought. He simply lowered his eyes and asked if she needed Kusakabe to help carry it back.

Seeing how much stuff she bought, it must be a bit of a hassle for her to do it all by herself.

“Okay…” Yao Chuanling’s eyes lit up, then she realized what she meant and changed her tone: “Just patrol properly, I can manage on my own.”

There's a copy for Tetsuya too, but no, I'll put it in her space first.

Only she can use the personal space, so I feel very safe.

Jewels, cameras, and all the gifts everyone gave me are kept inside; I can take them out anytime I want.

On the other end of the phone, Hibari Kyoya raised an eyebrow in surprise. How strange, the little animal had actually changed its nature.

She clearly had her own ulterior motives.

Hibari Kyoya was a very perceptive person. He noticed her attitude and hung up the phone decisively.

It's her freedom to do what she wants, and it's not appropriate to pry further.

Yao Chuanling, on the other end of the phone, breathed a sigh of relief as she held the huge pile of letter paper and wrapping paper she had bought.

So how exactly did Kyoya know she was at the mall?

Could it be that he also has clairvoyance?!

"Boom—"

An explosion was heard not far away, sounding like a building collapsing.

Yao Chuanling watched as the men in suits calmly and orderly dispersed the crowd. Fortunately, there weren't many people in the mall today, and this floor wasn't crowded. Curious, she looked down and immediately caught sight of the standoff between the two sides.

The man with long, silver-white hair had a fierce look on his face and a voice so loud it sounded like he was using a megaphone; she could hear him even on the third floor.

I experienced for the first time what it means to be deafened.

“voi——!”

He brandished his sword with his left hand, grinned, and fiercely defeated Yamamoto Takeshi and Gokudera Hayato, who were blocking his way.

A man like a shark, exuding a bloodthirsty aura.

This is getting a bit complicated.

Yao Chuanling frowned, drew his sword, and jumped down the stairs.

Precise landing.

She stood in front of Sawada Tsunayoshi. Behind him was a trembling rabbit, and in front of him was a menacing shark.

"Ling?! This isn't the time to play the hero and save the damsel in distress! You'd better get out of here!"

The rabbit panicked.

The girl who fell from the sky was not the tutor he had been longing for, but the delicate girl he thought he needed to protect.

The frail little girl, carrying a knife, turned her head and revealed a lark-like smile that he knew very well.

"It's alright, let me bite him to death, Princess."

Time to show off, shining!

Sawada Tsunayoshi wasn't sure whether to criticize the smile and catchphrase, or the form of address that followed, but he couldn't deny that upon hearing those words, he felt a sense of unease.

"Hey! Kid, get out of here, I don't bully women."

Squalo sized up the person in front of him and brandished his sword, trying to scare her away.

The wind from the swinging sword brushed against her face, the sharp tip of the sword only centimeters from her cheek, when a gleaming blade steadily intercepted his attack.

Unlike Yamamoto Takeshi, who was defeated by him with a knife, Squalo knew that she had truly learned how to use a knife.

His eyes, as fierce as a predatory shark's, stared directly at her. The assassin from Varia said in a deep voice, "Everyone who loses to me will die. I'll say it again, get out of my way!"

The primary objective now is to find the Vongola Tenth Generation Reserve in Japan, the son of Sawada Iemitsu. We need to complete the mission quickly, or that bastard boss will throw another tantrum.

Thinking of this, Squalo became increasingly agitated and launched a fierce attack.

Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was watching from the sidelines, could only see afterimages and the clanging sound of swords clashing.

"That's really amazing."

He hugged his gloves, stared at the two men in the fight, and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

What he didn't notice was that Reborn, disguised as a potted plant, was looking at him with concern.

Yao Chuanling's usual behavior always makes people forget that she is a very powerful non-human. Surprisingly reliable, Elf-sama.

She learned swordsmanship from Sesshomaru since childhood, and Abe no Seimei and Inu no Taisho would sometimes give her pointers. In terms of swordsmanship, Yokawa Rei believed that she was quite skilled.

This opponent is no ordinary opponent either. Squalo challenged people everywhere since his youth, and once defeated the then leader of Varia, the Sword Emperor Dur.

Having met his match, Yao Chuanling grew increasingly excited as the game progressed, and his unusually large ears could no longer be concealed.

Dodging her attack, Squalo glanced at her slightly long, pointed ears, but he was more concerned about what was behind her.

Basil handed the box bearing the Vongola Family crest to Sawada Tsunayoshi; the Vongola Rings inside were the purpose of his trip to Japan.

Seeing this, Squalo stopped fighting and charged straight at Sawada Tsunayoshi.

"Spelby Squalo, don't you feel ashamed for bullying children?"

Dino, who should have been far away in Italy, had somehow arrived in Namiseki. He called out Squalo's name familiarly, as if they had known each other for a long time.

Dino held a whip, with a row of subordinates standing behind him, their positions clearly visible.

Our savior has finally arrived.

He always had to give some face to the Cavallone family, an allied family, especially since Dino himself was a difficult character.

But the ring...

"voi—little girl, you're pretty good. Let's have a rematch next time we meet."

Squalo squinted, a brilliant idea flashing through his mind. He pretended to kill Sawada Tsunayoshi, but actually used a smokescreen to steal the box.

Take the items back to report.

Finally, finally!

His eyes barely concealed his excitement and exhilaration; Varia had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Seeing that his belongings had been stolen, Basil was eager to chase after them, but Reborn stopped him.

From Sicily to Namishiro, his body was already at its limit; if it weren't for his unwavering faith, he probably would have collapsed long ago.

The tenth generation's tutor said some hurtful things.

Both Gokudera Hayato and Yamamoto Takeshi's expressions changed.

Yao Chuanling was caught in the middle, looking right and left, hugging the two of them, before being dragged away by Reborn.

That was a hurtful statement, but Reborn must have had his reasons.

The junior teacher is not that kind of person.

"Let them have some peace and quiet."

Ever since that person arrived, Reborn has looked preoccupied. Yao Chuanling noticed this, but knew that she couldn't help with this matter either.

She doesn't have much time left.

She gripped the edge of the paper bag tightly, and the wrinkles lingered for a long time.

The storm is coming again.
