Chapter 35 Escape "Mukuro, I'll take you away from here."

Just a few seconds ago, Hinata was doing nothing, but soon he was captivated by the game played by the other players, jumping up and down to cheer for his teammates, wishing he could rush up and spike the ball himself.

Even though Hinata's eyes were practically piercing the coach with his desire to spike the ball, the heartless coaches still didn't let him play, keeping their eyes straight ahead and completely ignoring Hinata beside them.

"That guy's gaze is a bit scary, isn't it?" Kujou Hayate touched his neck and subconsciously sat up straight.

Suzuki, with his extensive experience, advised him, "Don't turn around. If you make eye contact with Shoyo, it'll never end."

Kujo: Even if we don't make eye contact now, things are still not good.

"Xiangyang is stirring."

"By the way, can he hear our conversation?"

"Based on my experience, Xiao Xiang is probably already immersed in his own world."

Several junior players who had been benched by the coach were whispering among themselves. As the setter, Akagi was still on the court, probably the coaches' anchor, and they dared not let him off the court easily. So, without the setter's restraint, the guys obviously started to let loose.

"Hirano-senpai, good luck!"

The little sun beside him continues to shine; even when he can't play, he can still effectively convey his desire to score to his teammates on the court.

Matsukawa rubbed his forehead. "This guy can get along with anyone."

Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded, "That's right, not only Hirano-senpai, but also Nakagawa-senpai, Iyama-kun..."

Seeing Tsuna start counting on his fingers, the others gasped.

Let alone Xiangyang, you know plenty of people who have been there too.

Kujo Ikeya pondered, resting his chin on his hand, "Aren't their popularity a bit outrageous?"

Basically, anyone who knows them or has interacted with them would have a good impression of them. Just now, not only were there members of the Otoko team in the stands, but also the libero from the Ohno team whom we met in the previous match. Well, you can tell who they are looking for just by looking at their eyes.

Matsukawa shrugged: "The two juniors are just too cute, there's nothing I can do about it."

Hearing the commotion coming from the bench, one of the attackers who played today couldn't help but ask Kyoji Akaashi,

"Akaashi-kun, do you guys usually find it this noisy on the field?"

Akagi shook her head. "No."

Then it's obvious whose problem it is.

It was a rare occasion that after the match, Sawada Tsunayoshi wasn't carried off the field by others; he was chatting with Hyuga and Kozume Kenjiro.

Seeing their teammates stretching, they simply ran to the side, while Kuroo Tetsuro and the others came back from the other side.

"We heard that your match has ended, so we thought we'd come over and chat with you for a bit."

"Hey, which team will be competing against us in the finals?" Hinata asked curiously.

Moyan shook his head. "It's not over yet; they're in the third round."

“I see.” Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded, and then Kuroo added,

"Although it's not over yet, I don't feel there's much suspense."

"Huh?" Tsuna and Hinata were full of questions as they watched Kuroo and Kenma speaking in riddles.

"Well, what I and Kenma are referring to is the team from Hyogo Prefecture. When we arrived, they were already leading by three points, so they should be able to finish the game soon."

Hinata looked up. "Sounds like a very strong opponent!"

This time, the answer came from the grinding station: "They are indeed very strong. They could have ended the match in the second game like you, but how should I put it?"

Kozume Kenma picked up his phone, tilted his head, and looked somewhat puzzled.

Kuroo Tetsuro seemed to have thought of something very funny, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"In the second set, their setter and attacker got into an argument over a spike, which cost them their lead and gave it to the other side. They were scolded by their coach after the match."

Sawada Tsunayoshi was starting to lose his composure, while Hyuga looked utterly bewildered.

"How can anyone argue during a match?!"

Kozume Kenma put down his phone again. "Although it sounds outrageous, they are indeed a very strong pair of twins."

Tsuna and Hyuga watched Kuro and Kenma leave, and once their figures disappeared from sight, they both tilted their heads.

"twin?"

At that moment, Irie Shoichi ran down from another passageway, panting as he heard the two talking about twins.

"Do you already know your opponents for the next game?"

"ah?"

“I just went to the venue next to yours and saw that the match on the other side just ended. One of the opponents in the finals was a pair of twins.”

This was probably the team that Kuroo and the others had mentioned, Sawada Tsunayoshi understood, but Irie Shoichi's expression remained stern. He waved the magazine in his hand at Tsuna and Irie, his tone heavy.

"I'm not talking about the twins, of course, not that they're not strong, but there's a very troublesome guy in their team."

"Huh?"

Tsuna and Hinata huddled together next to Irie to look at the magazine. Irie Masakazu pointed to a person in the picture.

"This is him, Ooshiro Alan. He's the tallest guy in this league, and I heard he can score half the points all by himself!"

They looked at the large, dark-skinned guy on the screen who didn't look like someone their age at all.

"This is much taller than the pond."

"I wish I could have some of his height."

"Please stop bringing up height; it feels like those old memories are attacking my brain again."

…

Shoichi Irie was surprised to find that his two friends weren't particularly nervous, and even seemed to be joking around with each other. He couldn't help but ask,

Aren't you nervous?

Before Hyuga could answer, Tsunayoshi immediately said...

"I'll be nervous. Xiao Xiang will definitely have a stomachache and run to the toilet before his next performance."

Hinata really wanted to shout out that he wouldn't, but he lacked the confidence, so he pretended not to hear.

"They are very strong, but we are not weak either. I have faith in everyone in Xiaogu!"

He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. Irie Masakazu chuckled, "That's right, volleyball is a team sport."

However, Irie was still a little worried. She thought about the last shot that the main attacker had just hit, which had such force that it distorted the air. She wondered if it would kill someone if it hit them.

He shivered, hoping that Xiao Gang and Xiao Xiang wouldn't get hurt.

After getting off the bus, Sawada Tsunayoshi declined his two friends' invitation to play games for the first time, saying that he wanted to go home and rest first. Irie and the others just assumed that Tsunayoshi was too tired from training and didn't think much of it.

"But is Tsuna this tired even though he didn't play in the match today?" Irie Shoichi watched Tsuna's departing figure, sensing that the other looked somewhat worried.

Hinata shrugged. "I don't know, but let me tell you, during class this Monday, Tsuna..."

After discussing Sawada Tsunayoshi's achievement of sleeping until school was over in front of the Hyuga family's house, they went their separate ways. Since Tsunayoshi wasn't there, they planned to go home and get some rest, since they had been running around all day and had to go to school the next day.

And the Tsunayoshi they were talking about did indeed go home, have dinner, wash up, turn off the lights, and go to bed early, just as they had imagined.

He silently recited Rokudo Mukuro's name in his mind.

Today is the day Rokudo Mukuro and the others agreed to escape. As expected, Sawada Tsunayoshi is still worried. Anyway, he is a spirit, so the other side can't see him.

In that case, he could at least help Mukuro and the others observe whether there were any patrol personnel nearby.

Sawada Tsunayoshi spent the entire week pondering this matter. He closed his eyes and sketched Rokudo Mukuro's image in his mind, over and over again.

Zheng Yi said that if you think about it enough times, you will dream about it at night.

So he focused on one thing and eliminated other distracting thoughts.

The more you try to remember someone's face, the more blurred that person's face becomes, but in Tsuna's dazed state, Rokudo Mukuro's figure becomes clearer and clearer.

skeleton.

He opened his mouth to shout, but the boy in front of him waved his hand, signaling him to be quiet.

Tsuna immediately snapped to attention and looked around with wide eyes.

He actually had a dream about Mukuro again!

Before he could express his joy, he noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off.

It was still that small laboratory, but this time he finally saw the group of researchers. The small research room was crammed with more than a dozen strong men, and Sawada Tsunayoshi felt that his soul was being squeezed so tightly that he could hardly breathe.

He moved a few steps to the open space, finally having a chance to observe these people. He had initially thought that Rokudo Mukuro and the others had been caught after escaping, but the terrified expressions on their faces told him that things were not as he had imagined.

What's going on? Tsuna turned to look at Rokudo Mukuro again.

Rokudo Mukuro sat on the operating table, casually fiddling with the trident in his hand. Noticing his gaze, he even gave him a smile.

Then, Sawada Tsunayoshi watched helplessly as blood flowed from the surgically operated eye socket, the crimson as glaring as the eyeball itself.

The people around him were chattering away, and then they took out their instruments and pressed the buttons hard.

He noticed that Rokudo Mukuro's eyes were bleeding more and more blood.

That thing can affect the skeleton?

He didn't have time to think much; all he knew was that he had to get Hai out of here.

He absolutely cannot let Hai stay here and be harmed by these beasts, but what should he do?

The spherical object on the table caught his eye, and memories of being dragged to play soccer with Hinata during PE class surfaced. He gritted his teeth, gently tossed the object upwards, and kicked it hard into the hand of the guy holding the remote control.

Then he flipped over and rushed to Rokudo Mukuro's side, grabbed his hand and rushed out.

Without tactics or a plan, he only knew how to rely on brute force to break through.

In Rokudo Mukuro's eyes, the sphere mixed with bright flames flew towards the guardian who had a fire defense device. He was prepared to try to use an illusion to get Sawada Tsunayoshi away if he failed.

The number on my eye has unknowingly changed to "four".

Before he could react, the ball broke through the flame defense device that the researchers were so proud of, and then a scalding palm gripped his arm, burning him with a heat that threatened to incinerate him as well.

Out of the corner of my eye, those people were in complete chaos. Rokudo Mukuro overheard them saying...

"...Illusion."

Is all of this an illusion?

He stared at the boy who only reached his chest, and then the boy turned and smiled at him.

"Mukuro, I'll take you away from here."

The author's note: "How could anyone be arguing on the field?" You agree, Hinata.

Actually, there's no scene in the manga where 27's flames are sealed; it's a scene added by the TV series. Oh well, whatever, 27 will always be the top fighter here, even when he was a kid.
