Chapter 198 Player! Player, how do you... deal with...

After dealing with the trivial matters, Tsunayoshi Sawada returned to the office after a short break and continued to correct the mountain of documents.

After Takeshi Yamamoto told Tsunayoshi Sawada about the matter as Reborn requested, he decided to go to Aurora immediately.

"In that case, I'll go with you, Tsuna," said Takeshi Yamamoto.

"...Okay, then I'll trouble you, Takeshi." Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at his friend whose dark eyes had mostly disappeared, and nodded with a smile.

Awu looks much more cheerful, that’s great!

On the way to the laboratory, the two met Rambo, who was doing something sneaky and Reborn, who had changed his clothes, so they decided to go together. However, they didn't expect to hear Johnny-Two's scream as soon as they arrived at the door of the laboratory.

Without time to think, Tsunayoshi Sawada subconsciously broke down the door, which led to the previous scene.

"What is this..." Looking at the little thing in front of him, Sawada Tsunayoshi asked Johnny-II, who was standing next to him with a frightened look, hesitantly.

"Aurora... turned into a child?" Yamamoto Takeshi's expression was also a little hesitant.

"Apparently, the bazooka failed again ten years after Johnny-Two started tinkering with it."

Reborn snorted and jumped down from a nearby desk. The little stick Len had transformed into gently poked the limp black-haired girl's arm. Under Sawada Tsunayoshi's horrified gaze, he whispered, "How do you feel? Are you okay, Aurora?"

Player: “…”

Sawada Tsunayoshi: "..."

Does this guy Reborn actually have such a gentle side? It's a little creepy for some reason...

"Aurora?" Reborn, sensing something was wrong, tilted the black-haired girl's head, only to be surprised to find her expression even sadder than he'd imagined. "...Are you crying?"

"Wow... I don't know either..." The player cried even harder as he looked at the buff that appeared on his body.

[Aftereffects of the Bazooka Ten Years Later: Due to Johnny-II's incomplete repair, the effect of the Bazooka Ten Years Later appeared unexpected. After using it, the player's body becomes smaller for one day, and a random buff is added.

Duration: 12 hours]

[Random Buff - Sentimentality: With this buff, you're blessed.] Players will receive bonuses such as Emotional Sensitivity +50%, Tear Chance +50%, Sadness Chance +50%, and Stubbornness +50%.

Duration: 6 hours]

“Wow… I’m not even 1.5 meters tall… My height…” The player couldn’t stop crying and kept cursing the system in his heart.

Dog system! Do you want this blessing?

Reborn: “…”

At this time, are you still so concerned about your height?

"What's going on, Johnny-II?" Sawada Tsunayoshi, at his teacher's behest, held the crying Aurora in his arms, bewildered, and asked Johnny-II, "Weren't we supposed to repair the bazooka after ten years? How did it become like this?"

Aurora, who was originally a young girl, turned into a child and was crying loudly! This made Sawada Tsunayoshi, who had no experience in caring for children, very flustered.

"Tenth Daime-sama, Miss Aurora is too anxious." Johnny-II wiped the sweat from his brow and continued, "I was just working on an assembly kit for a bazooka from ten years in the future. It was a bit difficult, so I jumped for joy when I finished it."

"Miss Aurora mistakenly thought I had completely repaired the Ten Years Later Bazooka, and then she put it on herself. I couldn't stop her, and the result was..."

Johnny-II glanced cautiously into Sawada Tsunayoshi's arms and whispered, "And then it turned out like this—just like that time with Master Gokudera..."

Reborn: “…”

Yamamoto Takeshi: "..."

Sawada Tsunayoshi: "..."

The scene was silent for a moment, with only the crying of the black-haired little girl lingering in the laboratory.

"Then why is she crying so hard?" asked Reborn.

"Well, maybe it's because Miss Aurora has become more emotionally sensitive since she became smaller." Johnny II guessed, "Or maybe it touched upon something sad that happened to her..."

"Looking at Aurora crying non-stop, I really can't tell how she beat me up." Yamamoto Takeshi thought for a moment, took the little girl from the leader, and carefully placed her on his shoulder. "Okay, Aurora, look, now you are taller than anyone else here."

It’s a tall perspective that I’ve never experienced before!

The player who was trying hard to hold back his tears looked at the unique perspective, feeling a little curious. He waved his paws happily and forgot to shed tears for a moment.

"Huh, you finally stopped crying. You still have a way, Takeshi." Tsunayoshi Sawada looked at Takeshi Yamamoto, his eyes full of admiration.

"Well, after all, she seems to care a lot about her height." Yamamoto Takeshi supported the black-haired little girl and said cheerfully.

"Hmph, are you using your killer instinct here, Yamamoto?" Reborn snorted and lowered the brim of his black hat.

"I think... things can't end so quickly." Rambo, who had been hiding in the corner, sneaked over and said cautiously.

As expected, the originally happy little girl seemed to be awakened by Rambo's words and started crying again. This time, the words that came out of her mouth were...

"Wow... This isn't my height. Why can't I grow this tall? Where's my cat? Where's my Meowth?... Wow..."

After enduring several waves of death ray blue waves: "..."

Rambo made a hand gesture to close his mouth, indicating that he would keep it shut tightly. Then he retreated to the corner step by step and stood still.

Tsunayoshi Sawada once again began the headache of coaxing his child.

…

…

After a long time, seeing Aurora having fun playing with the cat version of Len, Tsunayoshi Sawada, Takeshi Yamamoto and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally I coaxed her into submission, but I didn't expect it was Len who coaxed her into submission." After a lot of trouble, Tsunayoshi Sawada lay on the table without any image in front of the people he trusted, and returned to his complaining state when he was young.

"Well, to be precise, it's the cat that Len transformed into. It's a very versatile cat." Reborn took a sip of coffee, savoring the excellent taste, and said to the student mercilessly, "If you had that cat when you were in junior high school, it might take me another six months to train you."

"That cat will definitely make you unable to do anything." Reborn put down his coffee cup and said firmly.

"Is it that powerful..." Sawada Tsunayoshi muttered softly.

I thought about it for a while, but I really couldn't imagine what kind of cat could be so powerful.

What can a cat that is more than half a meter long do... It can't possibly clean your house, do laundry, or cook for you, right?

Sawada Tsunayoshi shook his head hard and put these unrealistic fantasies behind him.

"Anyway, it's good enough that Aurora stopped crying, but..." Sawada Tsunayoshi said, his face looking a little embarrassed again.

What should I do after discussing with Marco and the others about the required credentials?

"Just ask directly. Based on Aurora's intermittent statements, this situation will continue for at least four hours."

Reborn closed his phone and looked at his proud student. "Fantasy is one of the few Mafia families that hasn't been infiltrated by the Millefiore family, but they have a mediocre relationship with the Vongola family. If we can win them over, it would be a good thing."

"The earlier you go, the more chances you have."

"Woo... What do you want? Just tell me." The player held back his tears, holding Len in the shape of Meowji, and walked over with small steps.

"Aurora, are you okay?" Yamamoto Takeshi asked while squatting.

"I have something... I feel like crying just looking at you guys..." The player tried hard to hold back his tears and urged, "Hurry up and tell me. I'll go cry for a while after I've resolved this."

"...Well, actually, I was planning to have some discussions with Fantasy Company, but Fantasy Company is very friendly with the Kirionero family and has little relationship with other mafia families."

Sawada Tsunayoshi crossed his arms, resting his chin on his hand, and said solemnly, "Not long ago, a family that was rapidly rising in power merged with the Kirionero family to form the current Millefiore family. They have been targeting the Vongola family. I am worried that Fantasy Company will also favor them."

"I heard from Reborn that you have access to Fantasy Company, so I thought..."

"So, you want to win over Fantasy Company before the Milufiore family does?" The player sat on a chair that didn't fit the height, shaking his calves and touching Len's skin, which looked hairy but was actually very smooth.

"That's right." Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded, and continued, "It's okay if you don't want to, Aurora. I can think of other ways..."

"Sure." Before Sawada Tsunayoshi could finish his words, the player agreed immediately.

"What?" Sawada Tsunayoshi was stunned, unable to believe that things were so simple.

Looking at the dazed brown-haired young man, the player pouted and wiped away the tears that had unconsciously seeped out of the corners of his eyes before speaking, "The reason I was so anxious to go back was because I was the introducer between Marco and the Vongola heirs headed by Tsunayoshi Sawada."

"Before I was hit by the bazooka from ten years later, I was still training you guys on the qualities you need to possess for your first dinner party," the player said. "The dinner is tomorrow night, and I'm really anxious to get back!"

"Although you're not the Sawada Tsunayoshi I know, as long as you're still the same Sawada Tsunayoshi, the one who, despite all the hardships, hasn't forgotten the most important person in his heart..." the player smiled, "I'll recognize you!"

"I need proof that I can meet Marco. Let me figure out how to prove I'm who I am!"

Tsunayoshi Sawada looked at the black-haired little girl with a bright smile, and after a moment, he also smiled.

The handsome brown-haired young man's honey-colored eyes were filled with smiles. He stretched out his slender white hand, covered with countless gun calluses, and gently touched the black-haired little girl's long hair. Seeing her unconsciously squint her eyes, the smile on her lips became more obvious.

"Thank you so much for your trust, Aurora."

"I swear in the name of Sawada Tsunayoshi, I will never let you down!"
