Chapter 117 Sicily and Sawada Tsunayoshi are busy with that small family...

It was exactly one o'clock in the afternoon when Sawada Tsunayoshi finished his business with that small family. Yamamoto Takeshi took the coat from the family member next to him and draped it over the young leader.

Tsuna had just finished exercising and wasn't cold at all. "Takeru, I don't need to wear a coat now."

Rain Guardian persisted, his tone slightly coaxing, "The north isn't as warm as Sicily. Tsuna might not have noticed yet, but it'll get cold soon."

He could never win an argument with his family, so in the end the coat ended up on the young leader's shoulders. Yamamoto Takeshi gently patted it, and the wide cloak wrapped the leader up. Next to the tall Yushou, the young leader actually looked rather petite.

Sawada Tsunayoshi was a little embarrassed and was about to suggest that he tie his own tie when Gokudera Hayato walked over from the other side, a bunch of keys hanging from his finger.

As if he had found some evidence, he said emphatically, "We'll be taking a car later, so we don't need to wear capes now."

Yamamoto had already straightened his clothes while the junior leader was speaking. Upon hearing this, he stood up straight and said with a smile,

"We haven't had lunch yet, Tsuna, aren't you hungry?"

Yes, he was so busy all morning that he completely forgot he hadn't eaten yet.

"Tenth Generation, I've parked the car. There's a well-reviewed restaurant nearby, let's walk there together!"

Sawada Tsunayoshi then realized that the Storm Guardian and the Rain Guardian had already made arrangements for what to do next before the matter was over.

Gokudera naturally walked on the other side of the leader, while the other family members wisely dispersed, not disturbing His Highness the Leader and the Guardians.

"We said before that if we finished early today, we would have dinner here and go back," Yamamoto Takeshi explained.

The Vongola headquarters is in Sicily in the south. Sawada Tsunayoshi has only been in Italy for a year and has just started to get involved in family affairs. He is very busy and has a lot of things to do. He hasn't even finished exploring the south, let alone the north.

The climate in the north is indeed a bit colder than in the south. The sky was hazy, and it looked like it was going to rain. After walking a few steps, cold raindrops hit his face. Tsuna looked up, and his head was quickly covered by a black cloth.

He turned his head, and Gokudera Hayato, holding an umbrella, smiled at the young leader.

"So they were prepared all along," Sawada Tsunayoshi muttered to himself. Yamamoto Takenao stood dumbfounded in the rain, watching the Storm Guardian and the Boss share an umbrella.

"Did Gokudera only bring one umbrella?"

Upon hearing Yamamoto Takeshi's tone, Gokudera Hayato knew exactly what he was going to do next and immediately shut him up, preventing him from trying to elicit sympathy.

"It's just a few steps, why don't you just run there? Why use an umbrella?"

Upon hearing this, Yamamoto Takeshi glanced at Gokudera's hand holding the umbrella, his meaning clear. Gokudera Hayato, not to be outdone, blatantly tilted the umbrella towards Sawada Tsunayoshi.

If the argument continued, Tsuna would probably notice, so Rain Guardian reluctantly took out an umbrella from behind him, opened it, and held it up himself.

He also brought an umbrella, of course.

Sawada Tsunayoshi's frown relaxed, and he smiled happily.

"Great! A-Wu has an umbrella too, so no one will get wet in the rain."

Without giving Gokudera a chance to mock him, Tsuna continued,

"Where's Reborn? Isn't Reborn coming to eat with us?"

The other party dropped him off at the gate of the rival family and then disappeared, saying that the disciple had graduated and was going to solve problems independently. The young leader didn't understand why he had come to Milan with him if he wanted him to be independent.

Gokudera was waiting at the door and knew Reborn's whereabouts. The world's number one assassin certainly didn't need to report his route to them. The fact that the other party was willing to speak out can only mean that he deliberately revealed it to someone.

"Lord Reborn said he has an old friend in Milan and is going to catch up with him."

"How come he has friends everywhere!" Sawada Tsunayoshi complained again, his cloak occasionally draped over Gokudera's suit pants. He pulled it up to keep it under control.

"Xiao Xiang should have eaten by now, right?" He thought of his childhood friend who was still in Sicily.

"I wonder if he's still adjusting to Italian food?"

Gokudera shrugged. "Tenth generation, don't worry. The Shell Club has players from all over the world, so the food won't just be Italian. If he doesn't like it, there are other options."

Sawada Tsunayoshi had never eaten at the club before and didn't know about these things, but it was good that there were other cuisines; he wouldn't have to worry about Hyuga going hungry.

"Hayato knows so much, I didn't know any of this."

He praised her sincerely.

An unnatural blush crept onto the Italian guy's face; he placed his right hand on the back of his head.

"No, no, I just knew a little bit before. The Tenth Boss knows the most!"

Gokudera spoke excitedly, but held the umbrella firmly, preventing the rain from kissing the Tenth Boss again.

They stopped in front of a restaurant, the door creaked open, and a waiter ushered them inside.

The menu was handed to them.

Hinata Shoyo enthusiastically took the training menus from the other athletes, glanced at them briefly, and couldn't help but loudly complain.

"This is too much work!"

After playing a practice match that morning, Louis had already taken a liking to the boy from Japan. Seeing that the boy was curious, Louis showed Hinata his usual training routine.

"Athletes always work hard," he said, taking the training sheet back from Hinata and gently tapping the other man on the head with the paper.

“If you want to be an athlete, you’ll have to work just as hard in the future,” he threatened Hinata.

Hinata wasn't intimidated; her eyes shone brightly. "I was prepared for this all along!"

Louis couldn't help but laugh when he heard the child say that.

"What are you laughing at! Don't you believe I can do it?" Hinata bared his teeth and brandished his claws.

The Italian quickly explained, "No, I just remembered that our Godfather said the same thing, so I couldn't help but say it."

When the translation software detected unfamiliar words and phrases, Hinata immediately became quiet. He couldn't help but ask,

"The Godfather? Is it the Godfather I'm thinking of?"

Hmm? Hyuga didn't know? Louis listened to the words translated by the translator and fell into deep thought.

"You don't know The Godfather?"

This is really strange. Isn't Hyuga someone the Vongola put in? You know, when he heard from the coach at noon that Hyuga was one of the Vongola's people, he was shocked and almost couldn't help but go up and ask if the right person knew the Tenth Boss.

However, seeing Robert's smiling eyes, he forcefully suppressed his impulse.

Hyuga still looked bewildered, while Louis sighed helplessly.

"Could there be another Godfather?"

Confusion turned to fear; a legendary figure from a literary work was being dragged into real-life discussion. Hinata's voice was dry.

"I thought those were things that only existed a long time ago."

"You mean the Godfather? That's true, it existed a long time ago, but it's still around today. However, the previous Godfather was just a title. Everyone has long since gone their own way and has their own ideas. They outwardly obey, but behind the scenes, they've done plenty of things that break the rules."

The setter walked by, his face all scrunched up.

Why are you telling him all this?

Louis chuckled dismissively, "It's not like it's something that can't be said. Do you think the new Godfather cares about these things?"

Also an Italian setter, unlike Luis, whose family had ties to the Mafia and whose internal changes were unclear, the setter couldn't remain calm and collected. The chaos of that past occasionally surfaced.

"Even if the Godfather doesn't care, the others are no good."

Louis paused for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, then said, "That's true, but with the Godfather here, there shouldn't be too many problems..."

His tone lowered, and Hinata's curiosity was piqued. With the previous godfather's example, it was even more apparent that the new godfather seemed to have something unique about him. He urged Louis to continue with his eyes.

“That makes some sense. The improvement in security is due to the new Godfather taking over Sicily. His fear stems from lingering issues from before. In any case, the arrival of the new Godfather has indeed changed Italy a lot. These were things that couldn’t be discussed openly before.”

Louis seemed to have some reservations, hastily ending the conversation, and finally returning to Hinata's initial statement.

"Our godfather said that when he was fourteen and facing a heavy burden,"

"I was already aware of this."

"His enlightenment ignited the whole of Italy, and the raging fire still burns today. At first, everyone trembled with fear of his great power, but as the flames drove away the biting winter and we enjoyed that warmth, admiration arose in our hearts."

He pointed at the setter who had rested and was ready to practice again, "Don't be fooled by his bad attitude. Try saying a bad word about the Godfather to him and see what happens."

This was Hinata's first time encountering these things, and he didn't feel much about the mafia, remarking...

"It sounds like the Godfather is a powerful yet kind man."

"Kindness?" Louis couldn't help but chuckle a few more times. "It's kind of dark humor when applied to the Mafia."

He dusted himself off, stood up, and extended an invitation to Asahikata.

"Would you like to train with us?"

Hinata had long planned to observe from the sidelines for a few more days, so hearing Louis's words brought a smile to her face.

"May I!?"

“Robert also agreed to let you practice with us. Anyway, the venue is so big, one more person won’t make a difference.” Louis shrugged casually.

He could guess some of the coach's thoughts. He just wanted to do Vongola a favor. Hyuga wasn't the kind of guy who would do anything reckless. Letting him practice wouldn't cause any loss. As for tactics, the new tactics were already in place at the beginning of the season. Even if Hyuga revealed them, it wouldn't change anything.

Completely unexpectedly, Hyuga was radiant with joy as he trained alongside Louis. He had been eyeing Louis's powerful spikes earlier, and now that he had the chance to practice, he naturally wanted to observe him closely.

The libero grabbed him and said, "Hinata, come and experience the captain's wrath with me!"

I could tell from the training match just now that this kid has a great awareness of receiving the ball.

I just don't know why she insisted on playing middle blocker. Well, a libero without an offensive mindset isn't a good middle blocker.

Freelancers say they can't suffer alone, which worries Louis.

"What if I hurt Hyuga's small frame? Don't let him catch my ball."

"Didn't he take on several opponents in the practice match just now? Don't underestimate the Hinata clan! Right?"

Why is it just you Hyuga? Louis was speechless.

Hinata, however, was full of energy, jumping a few times to warm up his body while standing to the side opposite him.

"I can do it!"

How can spiking and serving be the same thing on the court? Louis felt like he was playing against elementary school students. He looked at the indifferent coach on the sidelines and knew that the coach had agreed to it.

Okay, okay, he stretched his muscles. This was training, and he couldn't hold back. But he was still a little hesitant, so he slowed the ball down a bit.

Author's Note: Chapter 27: Romantic candlelight lunch in progress.

Little Sun's side: Passionate upgrade!

It feels like two different film sets.

As the Ninth Boss in the original work said: "You have a mafia heart that doesn't belong in the mafia."

That's roughly the idea. [cat emoji]
