With a friend's recommendation, the player downloaded a full immersion game that was supposedly super popular and a loss not to play. In her eagerness to start the game, the player didn't r...
Chapter 213: The Player Awakes! After Enduring So Much Hardship...
Tsunayoshi Sawada, who had finally found Reborn after much difficulty, had no time to wipe away the tears of true love in his eyes before he was kicked in the back of the head without mercy.
"It hurts so much..." Sawada Tsunayoshi held his head and felt like tears were about to come out.
"How are you, Tenth Generation?!" Hayato Gokudera stood aside, feeling a little helpless. Finally, he simply squatted down and was on the same level as Tsunayoshi Sawada.
"Can't you even tell where your teacher is?" Reborn, dressed in a pure white suit, jumped onto the sofa where the doll Reborn had been and sighed, "You still need more practice, stupid Tsuna."
"What's that, Reborn?! Aren't you using too much force?" Sawada Tsunayoshi turned around, covered his head, and shouted, "I'm trying really hard to find you two!"
"What's with that weird outfit of yours?" asked Sawada Tsunayoshi.
"There's no other way. I can't move without wearing this clothes." Reborn said helplessly.
"I have no idea what you're saying..." Sawada Tsunayoshi muttered softly. "By the way, Reborn, where's Aurora? Have you seen her?"
"Aurora..." Yamamoto Takeshi looked at Reborn, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong with her? Yamamoto, the look on your face..." Hayato Gokudera couldn't help but frown.
"You'll find out eventually anyway." Reborn jumped off the sofa and walked towards the door. "Take Lal Milch to the infirmary, Yamamoto."
"Medical room..." Sawada Tsunayoshi repeated the location, and his bad feeling grew.
**
"What's going on? Aurora..." Sawada Tsunayoshi asked in a panic, looking at the black-haired girl lying on the hospital bed, wearing the same clothes as Reborn. "Why? Why did Aurora become like this?"
The usually lively and active black-haired girl now lay on the hospital bed with her eyes closed and a pale face, looking strange for no reason.
"It was to escape the enemy's pursuit. The place where Aurora and I fell was not as close to Namimori as you are." Reborn ignored Sawada Tsunayoshi's question mark, looked at Yamamoto Takeshi, and asked, "Yamamoto, can we adjust the display screen here?"
"Of course." Yamamoto Takeshi nodded, walked to the side and pressed a few buttons, and a simple display screen extended from the side of the window.
"This is above our underground base." Yamamoto Takeshi pressed the button and said.
“This isn’t…”
"Isn't this Namimori?"
Gokudera Hayato and Sawada Tsunayoshi, who only now understood the situation, exclaimed.
"You're so slow. But there are more problems than just here." Reborn let Len do what he wanted, and then explained to the teenagers who had just arrived in the world ten years later the various doubts about the rocket launcher ten years later.
"The time we traveled through is also wrong," Reborn said. "We were supposed to be in the world ten years from now, but now we've arrived at a time that's about nine years and ten months—a difference of more than two months from ten years."
"And I'm sure you've gotten a glimpse of the crisis the Vongola family is facing in this time and space."
Hayato Gokudera remembered the coffin he saw after traveling through time. The huge Vongola family logo on the surface of the coffin was conspicuous and glaring.
Hayato Gokudera clenched his fists: "..."
"Currently, important Vongola bases around the world are under attack simultaneously, and Japan is no exception." Yamamoto Takeshi said, "The enemy is hunting down Vongola members everywhere."
"Hunting..." Sawada Tsunayoshi muttered to himself.
"Then, could it be that the tenth generation also..." Gokudera Hayato grabbed Yamamoto Takeshi's neck, his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to get another answer from him.
"The moment the Vongola headquarters fell, the Millefiore family sent an invitation letter to our leader. Their original intention was to express their desire to discuss peace talks with the leader, but unexpectedly..." Yamamoto Takeshi clenched his fists calmly, and after a long while, he continued to speak.
"But I didn't expect that this was actually a Hongmen Banquet set up by the Milfiore family. Tsuna..."
"Yamamoto..., you bastard! Why didn't you protect the tenth generation?!" Gokudera Hayato glared at Yamamoto Takeshi with eyes full of sorrow and punched him.
"I..." The tall young man had no intention of resisting and took the blow head-on.
"?! Mukudera-san, what are you doing!" Sawada Tsunayoshi was shocked and quickly reached out to pull the two apart.
The atmosphere in the medical room suddenly became extremely tense. Tsunayoshi Sawada, who was already a little anxious, looked at the silent Yamamoto Takeshi and the angry Gokudera Hayato, and didn't know what to do for a moment.
At this moment, a voice broke the unspeakable silence in the room.
"Why are you guys making so much noise..."
This voice...
Sawada Tsunayoshi turned around in surprise and looked at the bed that was closer to them.
————————
Although my body feels much more relaxed, I still feel pain all over my body...
The players who wanted to take this opportunity to have a good rest could not help but frown amidst the waves of noise.
Feeling some changes in the girl's breathing beside him, Len changed his posture, stretched his body, and crawled to the girl's hand that was placed outside the quilt to deliver nutrient solution. He poked it carefully with his flexible tail until the white hand could not help but move, and then he stopped.
After regaining consciousness and his senses became sharp again, the player heard another roar and finally couldn't help but open his eyes.
"Why is it so noisy..."
"You guys are making so much noise!" The player sat up angrily and glared at the guys who didn't know how to control the volume in the medical room. "Do you know where this is? This is where patients rest!"
"As a patient, don't I deserve a good recuperation environment?!"
"...Why, even if you look at me like that, I won't calm down!" The angry player looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi's relieved and even sparkling eyes, and unconsciously shook off goose bumps on his body.
"Eh? Come to think of it, Sawada Tsunayoshi, how come you and Yu Si have become less mean?"
After recognizing the owner of the roar that woke him up from his sleep at a glance, the player quickly changed his name.
"We were also hit by a bazooka ten years later..." Sawada Tsunayoshi whispered.
"You're awake, Aurora." Reborn jumped onto the bed, his childish voice seeming to have the power to soothe people. "How do you feel now?"
"The weakening state has been alleviated a lot, so I feel pretty good now...ah!" The player who heard the question subconsciously made a gesture that could show that he was very strong, but accidentally pulled the IV drip on his right hand.
"It hurts, it hurts!" The player grabbed his right hand and screamed.
"Calm down, Aurora, don't be rash." Reborn looked at the black-haired girl who was about to cry, sighed silently, and looked away, unable to bear to look at her.
"I'm glad you're okay, Aurora." Sawada Tsunayoshi came over, feeling somewhat relieved, and then continued, "We can't go back to the world of ten years ago for the time being."
"I've understood this a long time ago. What I'm more concerned about is..." The player looked at his obviously different clothes and asked the crowd in front of him a soul-searching question, "Who changed my clothes for me?"
"This is the protective suit developed by Johnny-Two that can block harmful radiation." Reborn tugged at his own clothes and smiled innocently, "It's made of the same material as the one I'm wearing."
"Reborn... that's not what I'm asking..." The player stood up, put on his shoes, and moved over with the IV holder beside him. His expression was unfriendly. "I was asking who changed my clothes."
"Haha, Aurora, it was Bi Yangqi who helped you change your clothes." Yamamoto Takeshi explained at the right time, easing everyone's embarrassment.
"Sister?" asked Hayato Gokudera.
"That's right, but after that, Biyangqi and Fuuta went out to gather information." Yamamoto Takeshi nodded and continued, "Not only that, Ippei and Rambo also went out to look for Kyoko and Koharu."
"Uh, why are we looking for Kyoko and the others?" The player's face was filled with questions. "Can anyone tell me what happened?"
Yamamoto Takeshi: "..."
Hayato Jokudera: "..."
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "..."
These people were clearly arguing just now.
"Why did you suddenly become mute?" The player looked at Reborn in confusion.
"Let me explain it," said Reborn.
…
…
After listening to Reborn's explanation, the player said: "..."
"Ah..., at least Kyoko and Koharu, I don't think you need to worry so much." Looking at the nutrient solution that was approaching zero, the player whose left hand was inconvenient to move subconsciously turned his gaze to the only reliable adult here.
The player flexibly moved her lips left and right, and Yamamoto Takeshi, who successfully received the signal, understood and helped her remove the puncture needle on her right hand, and also considerately prepared to bandage her wound.
"Why do you say that? Aurora?!"
Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't understand why Aurora would say such a thing. "The Millefiore family is looking for people related to the Vongola everywhere. Mom, Kyoko, and Koharu might also..."
"Well..." the player looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi, whose face was filled with anxiety, and explained, "You know, Tsunayoshi-kun, the day after you won the Ring Battle, I gave Bajiel a gift from ten years ago."
"No...that's right." The boy with the hedgehog head nodded.
"I also gave that kind of thing to Yamamoto Tsuyoshi, Kyoko, and Koharu when I last came to the world ten years later, so..." The player nodded reassuredly and said, "So I don't think you need to worry so much."
"If it doesn't work, you can always run."
"Aurora's cards and the gifts she left us have been of great help to us. They have averted many crises." Yamamoto Takeshi wrapped the last bandage around Aurora and gently ruffled her hair. "Otherwise, the losses to us and the Fantasy Family might have been even greater."
"Respect your teacher, Yamamoto Takeshi." The player decisively slapped away the restless claw on his head.
"However, the drawbacks of the cards have been discovered by members of the Mirufiore family, which is why Rambo and Ippei went out to look for Kyoko and Koharu."
"Ah?" The player was dumbfounded.
"Well, Tsunayoshi-kun, it seems we still need to worry." The player patted Sawada Tsunayoshi's shoulder and comforted him, "But don't worry for now. I also gave them a secret weapon. At least their safety can be guaranteed."
"Rather than that, what you need to do now is to get enough rest, defeat the enemy, and then find a way back."
"De...deal with the enemy?" Sawada Tsunayoshi said in shock. "How can we possibly do something like this?"
"There's nothing we can do about it." The player spread his hands helplessly and said, "It's already come to this."
According to the story convention, the brave hero who comes to another world must defeat the evil villain before he can return to his own world.
"Aurora is right. And..." Reborn nodded and continued, "We came to this world and can't go back. It seems that we are inextricably linked to the battle that is happening now."
"In order to fight against them, Tsuna, what you need to do now is to gather all the guardians scattered everywhere--" Reborn looked at the panicked students. Even though he had suffered one emergency after another, his expression remained calm.
