Chapter 384 An unexpected acquaintance, poor Shen Erxian...

Poor Mr. Shener.

The player let out a few sighs of gloating, and without even glancing at the pile of documents on the desk, he leisurely left the room.

She wanted to explore the Panxing Sect, which had become brand new after being baptized by time!

But what the player didn't expect was that he actually had acquaintances in the Panxing Sect.

Seeing the figure not far away, the player was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Are you... Li Luo?"

"It's you... Aurora!" The girl had long brown hair tied up high, a bright smile on her face, a tall figure, and a big knife in her hand, which she waved fiercely in the training ground.

Ikeda Riku looked at the black-haired girl, who looked just like before. She decisively ended her physical training and walked up to her, pleasantly surprised. "Long time no see, Aurora-chan. I missed you so much!"

"I missed you too!" the player said happily, "But why are you here?"

"Of course it's because I joined the Panxing Cult."

After sheathing her sword, Ikeda Riku chuckled at the words and readily released the special-grade cursed spirit, Early Spring Xiaokui, from within her body. "Mr. Gojo said that because of Xiaokui, I'll be a thorn in the eyes and flesh of many people."

"So, to protect Xiao Kui and avoid causing trouble for Mr. Gojo and the others, I joined the Bankei Cult after graduating from school and honed my abilities with the help of Mr. Fushiguro."

"According to the strength classification in the world of sorcery, without Xiao Kui's help, the strength I can truly display now is that of a first-level sorcerer!" Ikeda Riro said this with a hint of eagerness. "If I work with Xiao Kui, I can take it even further!"

The cursed spirit Zaochun Xiaokui floated quietly beside her, her big eyes staring straight at Ikeda Riru, and she seemed to be accustomed to this kind of direct gaze and did not feel uncomfortable at all.

"You've made great progress, Liluo-chan." The player felt relieved as he looked at Ikeda Liluo, whose face still wore a hint of shyness, but whose eyes were bright. "From someone who knew nothing about the world of sorcery to becoming a first-class or even special-class sorcerer, you must have had a very hard time during this period."

"It's hard, because Mr. Fushiguro is really cruel..." Ikeda Riru patted her chest with lingering fear, then smiled and said, "But I live a fulfilling life. Maybe this kind of life is the best for me."

"Okay, as long as you feel relieved." The player thought about it, put the matter aside, and let Ikeda Riku pull his arm to show him around. Although he always felt that he had forgotten something, it shouldn't be a big deal if the emergency radar was not triggered.

As they thought about it, the players, feeling more and more at ease, began to shout and scream along with Ikeda Riro's introduction.

Left in a corner, completely unaware of the leader's current situation, Nakahara Chuuya: "..."

Is this right? Is this right? Chief?!

…

…

On the other side, the battle just stopped. Sawada Tsunayoshi and others obtained the first key delivered by the Avengers and entrusted by Giotto and Simon Cozart at the cost of losing Sasagawa Ryohei. It was a beautiful memory of the first meeting between Giotto, the first of the Vongola family, and Simon Cozart, the first of the Simon family.

The battle between Sasagawa Ryohei and Aoba Momiji, and the disappearance of both of them, to some extent dealt a great blow to Sawada Tsunayoshi. Sasagawa Ryohei was not only his senior, the brother of the girl he liked, but also his spiritual pillar.

He never gave up on this argument, always shouting extreme slogans, and even in the last second before being dragged away by the Avengers, he was still trying to counsel his brother, Le Ping...

Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes were filled with deep sorrow, and he couldn't help but murmur, "This kind of sacrifice... This kind of sacrifice..."

It could have been avoided if he had explained it to Yan Zhen properly...

"Don't go down this dead end, stupid Tsuna." Reborn glanced at his disciple, "Don't let everything Ryohei has done go to waste. He came here because of the same feelings and awareness as you."

Sawada Tsunayoshi: "Big brother's...enlightenment?"

Thinking of what Sasagawa Ryohei said to him when he was covered in blood and dying, Sawada Tsunayoshi clenched his fists.

"Think clearly about what you should do now, Tsuna." Reborn looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi, who seemed to have understood something, and curled the corners of his lips calmly, then kicked hard, "This kind of thing, you don't need me to analyze it for you."

Sawada Tsunayoshi: “…Hmm…Hmm!”

"Although I still have many doubts..." Seeing the sinister look cast at him by Reborn, Sawada Tsunayoshi subconsciously shrank his neck before continuing, "The most urgent task is to rescue Chrom from the Simon family and the others, and also to find out the truth about the relationship between Giotto the First Vongola and Simon Cozart, the first head of the Simon family."

"This is what Big Brother calls dignity..."

"Hmph, you've made some progress." Reborn lowered his head and chuckled before handing the box to the brown-haired boy. "Here, this is what fell from you just now. It has Aurora's mark on it. It was originally a box that could only be opened by the Death Flame of the Great Void attribute."

"It must have accidentally triggered it when you lit the ring just now, so the box opened."

"Huh? This is the box with 'Secret Weapon, Keep Carefully' written on it... Huh, huh, huh?!" Tsunayoshi Sawada took the box from Reborn with some confusion, opened it, and then let out a series of surprised exclamations.

"Why is it this thing?!"

"What's wrong? Tenth generation, is it something incredible?!" Gokudera Hayato's eyes became fierce, and he rushed forward suddenly, standing between the tenth generation and the box, his eyes alert.

"...Isn't this the pocket watch that Teacher Aurora carries with her almost all the time?" Yamamoto Takeshi was a little confused, wondering why this thing appeared here.

"Huh? It's not a dangerous item?" Hayato Mukudera was stunned and subconsciously leaned over to take a look. He found that it was indeed as Yamamoto Takeshi said, it was an exquisitely crafted golden pocket watch.

Although its original location should have been on Aurora's neck.

"It seems like she made this decision on her own, without even discussing it with you." Reborn looked at the confused expressions on their faces and pondered, "Or perhaps... this matter is related to someone else..."

Ms. Elena, who has a close relationship with the original Vongola family, judging from the history of the Vongola and the character she displayed in their daily interactions, would definitely not sit idly by if she knew the extent of the danger of the Simon family's trip to the holy land.

Not to mention the guy who was suspected to be the first generation of Kirishimaru, but as a magician who is quite good at illusion, why couldn't D. Spedo discover the memories of Ms. Elena in the minds of those people around Tsuna...

What is going on?

Reborn suppressed his doubts and said to Sawada Tsunayoshi, "It's up to you, Tsuna. Aurora must have her reasons for leaving this special pocket watch with you in this way."

"However, due to the special nature of Aurora's Death Flame, the flame attached to this pocket watch may not be regenerated. You can only summon Ms. Elena at the critical moment, and the time is limited." The little boy with black hair and black eyes paused, then continued, "You are the future tenth generation leader of the Vongola family. I give you the right to choose. It is up to you to make the decision."

Judging from what happened before, Aurora hadn't restricted Ms. Elena's appearance or disappearance, but now she was offering help in this way...

It was Tsunayoshi Sawada who decided Elena's appearance. I think Aurora also meant this, otherwise she wouldn't have engraved such a reminder.

"Reborn, I've already told you I don't want to be the leader of the Mafia. Stop talking about this all the time!" Sawada Tsunayoshi protested as he carefully picked up the pocket watch. The faint golden flames on it brought a feeling of warmth to Sawada Tsunayoshi's cold hands.

"...I'll leave this to you. The upcoming battle will surely be even more difficult, and you're the most suitable person to keep it."

Sawada Tsunayoshi knew that as long as he used the Great Sky Death Flame to summon Miss Elena, he would be able to learn a lot about the relationship between the Simon Family and the Vongola Family from her, and maybe even find D. Spedo's weakness... But, precisely because of this...

That's why he can't do this. If he does, it will only cause one more person to suffer.

Reborn turned a deaf ear to Sawada Tsunayoshi's whispered rebuttal that he didn't want to become the tenth generation, and just stared at the brown-haired boy. After a moment, a smile appeared at the corner of his lips, and then he nodded, indicating that he would keep this pocket watch with special meaning safe.

"It looks like the sun is about to set, why don't we just stay here for the night!" Yamamoto Takeshi looked at the sun in the distance, and when he saw that only half of it was left, he smiled and turned the tent over. "Be careful of mosquitoes, Tsuna!"

"Tenth generation! Let me help you organize your tent and sleeping bag!" Gokudera Hayato said enthusiastically, "As for the bugs... don't worry, I brought plenty of insect repellent!"

"Hmm...hmm!" Even though he still had something on his mind, after seeing the happy smiles on his friends' faces, Tsunayoshi Sawada felt a lot more relaxed and started to help them make the bed.

Yamamoto Takeshi: "Gokudera, could you lend me your insect repellent?"

Hayato Gokudera: "No, this is what I prepared for the Tenth Generation!"

Rambo: "Stupid Jakuji, Lord Rambo also wants that toy from your phone!"

Gokudera Hayato: "You stupid cow, I already told you it's not a toy anymore. And with you, we don't know how long we'll be here, so save your time!"

Rambo: "No way!"

Sawada Tsunayoshi: "Don't quarrel... Reborn, do you want it?"

Reborn: "No, I have a mosquito repellent bracelet."

Sawada Tsunayoshi: “Oh…”

…

…

After a burst of noise, everyone got into their tents and sleeping bags, ready to get ready for the next day's action. But when Sawada Tsunayoshi woke up from the noise, he was horrified to find that—

Rambo is gone!
