In fact, until now, Sawada Tsunayoshi doesn't know what he felt when he made that decision.
The rehearsal for death began when he was a teenager. What transformed Sawada Tsunayoshi from an incompetent loser to a decent candidate for the 10th generation of the Vongola family was his determination to "do something at the risk of his life."
What the Spartan tutor said was never a joke. The tasks and goals that were too scary for a middle school student were real. However, because he was determined to die, Tsunayoshi Sawada was able to do anything.
Occasionally, Reborn would say that the original approach was a last resort in order to quickly train him to become a qualified tenth-generation Vongola leader. If there was time, of course a more gentle approach would be better.
But Sawada Tsunayoshi doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.
After all, it was because of that determination to die that he was able to stand in front of everyone and sign a contract called a bond; it was also because of that determination to die that Tsunayoshi Sawada was able to become Tsunayoshi Sawada and have countless precious memories, whether happy or painful.
That was the brightest moment in his ordinary life.
In Tsunayoshi Sawada's life, both his tutor and other teachers taught him a lot.
But what permeated his entire life, what transformed him from a good-for-nothing Tsunayoshi Sawada, was this determination to die.
but……
Sawada Tsunayoshi lowered his eyes, recalling the ochre-haired young man's shining, lost, indescribable look and expression, and couldn't help feeling guilty.
——Not just to Nakahara Chuuya, but also to many other people.
He knew very well that when he died, there was nothing left.
Be it Jigokuji or Yamamoto, the companions he rescued at the beginning all once looked down upon their own lives. It was Sawada Tsunayoshi who shouted that he wanted to survive and watch the fireworks with everyone, and only then saved them from the deep quagmire.
So he knew that death meant nothingness.
However, in that situation, if he didn't die, someone else would have died.
Call it arrogance or conceit, as the one who had always been at the forefront, Sawada Tsunayoshi chose the best solution without much thought.
In Mori Ougai's words, it is the "optimal solution."
The only unexpected thing was that when the bullet hit my heart, the pain in my whole body was numbed almost instantly.
It's not like Tsunayoshi Sawada hasn't been hit by bullets before.
While other teenagers were still running around and admiring the biker gangs on TV, he had already been shot by a Spartan tutor and was fighting for his life to survive and become the tenth generation of the Vongola.
So much so that he always thought that even real bullets were similar to the death bullets that Reborn shot from Len's transformed pistol.
Until Bai Lan let the bullet fly into his body with a hypocritical smile.
It hurts a lot.
Sawada Tsunayoshi lowered his eyes, recalling the ochre-haired young man's shining, lost, and indescribable look and expression.
However, thinking that he had experienced pain himself and would not let his partners experience the same pain again, Tsunayoshi Sawada felt that he could endure it.
Only if he "dies" can the plan succeed, and his partners, family, and countless ordinary people involved in the mafia war can avoid this pain.
So just be patient for a while.
When you die, you have nothing.
So in order to let everyone have what they deserve, he will do it even if it means death.
Then go and righteously accuse that person by saying that dying once really hurts.
…
Tsunayoshi Sawada went to work listlessly.
He sat on the rooftop, enjoying the breeze for most of the night. He didn't even know when he fell asleep. When he was half asleep and half awake, he knew someone came and picked him up. The smell was familiar, but it didn't seem to be Verlaine's. It brought a mellow and bright dark scent.
Just use your toes to figure out who it is.
I was the one who ran away, but was caught back by the other party. It's quite embarrassing just thinking about it.
The Godfather sighed in his heart, and seeing that he was about to reach the Mafia building at the port, he couldn't help but put on the shell of a Mafia boss.
"It's Sawada-sama."
"Good morning, Your Majesty Sawada."
"Mr. Sawada, have you had breakfast yet? The breakfast in the cafeteria this morning was pretty good."
As the voices of greetings were heard one after another, more and more people noticed the arrival of Tsunayoshi Sawada.
Almost everyone in this building could be considered his subordinates, so the sound of greetings came one after another like waves. Some of them were even close to him and would come up to chat and say a few words.
Tsunayoshi Sawada has washed away the waste on the road.
The black suit had been neatly arranged before getting off the car, and even the cape had a sense of aura.
The young man with short brown hair walked calmly and confidently in the darkness and chaos. He was not swallowed up by the port mafia, but blended into it naturally.
Perhaps because he had just been attacked by a superpower, his face looked very pale, his lips slightly pursed, and his pointed chin formed a sharp contrast with the black suit. His body outlined by the cape and suit looked particularly thin, but he did not look weak. Instead, he was like a fish in water when moving among all kinds of terrifying mafia, just like...
"It's like a born mafia."
——The young man with black curly hair who appeared out of nowhere said quietly.
Sawada Tsunayoshi turned around, saw the person coming, and smiled gently.
Dazai Osamu raised his hand pretentiously.
"It's so dazzling, so dazzling, it's too dazzling." He yelled, "Is this the sun of the port mafia? It's too dazzling, my eyes are almost blinded."
Looking at his expression, Sawada Tsunayoshi couldn't help but laugh.
"Really?" He squinted his eyes and looked distressed. "That's too bad."
He waved his hand and said to Dazai Osamu as if calling a child: "So that you don't get lost because of your blindness, do you want to walk with me?"
Dazai Osamu showed a very strange expression.
As he walked over, Sawada Tsunayoshi seemed to vaguely hear other people saying something like "I got it" and "It's real". When he turned his head to look, he had a subtle feeling that he saw Vodka with a changed face.
Being surrounded by dozens of bottles of vodka is a bit scary.
Sawada Tsunayoshi shuddered slightly.
But ignoring those strange looks, the port maifa is still very harmonious.
Sawada Tsunayoshi and Dazai Osamu went upstairs together, ate the paid breakfast brought by Akutagawa Gin, and then went through the corridor between the twin buildings to the other side to attend the executive meeting of the Port Mafia.
It is well known that there is always a sixth person among the five major cadres, and Tsunayoshi Sawada is that sixth person.
Although he is not considered an officer, he holds power that is greater than that of the top five officers, making him the second most important figure in the port mafia.
It is said that even the boss of the organization is very respectful to him.
The Godfather, who had never heard of such rumors before, looked back and saw the Boss of his organization with tears in his eyes, caring about him.
...fine, you can say that.
It's better than the boss of the organization in the previous world - that greedy old crow.
The weekly routine meeting was just that, and even Mori Ogai would feel drowsy at this time. Although she didn't show it, Alice, who was almost hanging on Sawada Tsunayoshi and fell asleep, was snoring loudly and even had snot bubbles.
What would look shabby on an old man like Mori Ogai (Mori:?) becomes much cuter on Alice.
Sawada Tsunayoshi stared at her for a long time, but finally he couldn't help himself and reached out to rub her.
Alice is an angel! (Noodle tears)
The port mafia boss looked away contentedly and then slowly looked away.
He folded his hands in front of him and slowly assigned the port mafia's affairs for the week.
This is a port mafia that is completely different from the other world - the world of Dazai Osamu who fell from the roof.
Unlike the port mafia where the leader worked diligently alone, equipped with the most powerful weapons, and worked day and night to dominate Kanto within four years, here the leader is not fighting alone.
Dazai Osamu held his chin in his hand and watched expressionlessly as the leader pretended to ask for the opinions of the officers. His exposed iris pupils made it impossible to tell his emotions.
Finally, his gaze fell on Sawada Tsuneyoshi, who was smiling and stroking Alice's long hair as if he was stroking a small animal.
He had already heard from Sawada Tsunayoshi about the world the other person was taken to.
In that world, which also has a completely different direction from this world, he does not exist.
However, this is not a big deal. The world without him continues to operate as before. There is no such earth-shattering scene as the mouse described.
His mood became even worse when he thought of the mouse that had been driven away by a mad big cat and would continue to lurk underground for a long time.
He went through the meeting with a perfunctory smile. Because of what happened during this period, Mori Bapi did not continue to exploit him, so Sawada Tsunayoshi became the only guy in the group who did not have an important responsibility.
When he left, he still walked with Dazai Osamu.
The black-haired young man was much calmer than he was a few years ago, but the intense black color seemed to have seeped into his bones and blood, and along with the alienation that seemed to be born with him, was buried in the body of "Dazai Osamu".
Even Sawada Tsunayoshi, when he occasionally caught a glimpse of Dazai Osamu's blank eyes, would be shocked by the lack of light in them.
So he fell behind, standing shoulder to shoulder with the child who for unknown reasons had fallen ill again.
"What are you thinking about, Dazai-kun?" he asked casually.
Dazai Osamu hummed.
"I was thinking how boring Mr. Mori is," he said.
Sawada Tsunayoshi blinked.
"Boring?" He thought about what had just happened in the conference room and looked apologetic. "Sorry, I wasn't listening just now."
Only then did Dazai Osamu turn his gaze to him.
After confirming that the brown-haired young man was speaking lightly and not at all like a social animal, a glimmer of light could not help but appear in his eyes.
"Really?" He said slowly, "What is Tsuna-kun thinking about?"
That's a really good question.
Sawada Tsunayoshi thought about it and answered him honestly.
"I wonder what's in the sheep's canteen today."
When Dazai Osamu heard the key word, a subconscious reaction vividly appeared on his face.
"Tsk." Sawada Tsunayoshi heard him mutter, "It's that shorty again."
Because I was eating at the cafeteria of the Port Mafia, and I wanted to eat with Nakahara Chuuya - and the other party must be eating at the Sheep's Cafeteria, so I naturally started to think about what people were eating at the Sheep's Cafeteria.
Dazai Osamu understood the logic of this sentence in the blink of an eye, and became even more disgusted.
"A slimy little dwarf." He glared at Sawada Tsunayoshi and added deliberately fiercely, "You are the slimy big dwarf!"
Sawada Tsunayoshi blinked.
"Thank you?"
He replied somewhat uncertainly.
Dazai Osamu became even angrier.
But it’s okay to be angry. They have been partners for many years, and Sawada Tsunayoshi has already mastered how to coax a Dazai Osamu.
So by noon, the two of them had become good partners who could hold hands (not really).
Because of the rare sympathy of his black-hearted boss, Tsunayoshi Sawada was not at the port mafia in the afternoon.
He looked at the map and got on the tram, arriving near the Armed Detective Agency. After buying a large bag of snacks at a convenience store, he went into the cafe downstairs of the Armed Detective Agency and asked the owner to pass the snacks to Mr. Ranpo upstairs as a way of thanking Mr. Ranpo for his help from the parallel world.
Then it became a happy time of wandering and going home.
This happy life of slacking off continued for many days, until Mori Ogai tried to sympathize with him, but after watching him slacking off, his capitalist heart resurfaced and he took Sawada Tsunayoshi out to be in charge of the smuggling of gems.
In the parallel world, this job was done by Nakahara Chuuya. Sawada Tsunayoshi also knew that he got the nickname "Gem King" because of this business, which sounds very rich.
With this business in his hands, Sawada Tsunayoshi doesn't need to do anything else unnecessary. Dazai Osamu has already made the general plan. He only needs to act as a mascot to intimidate, and when there are really ignorant guys coming to cause trouble, he can beat them back home.
Of course, the gem business is just a superficial cover. What actually needs to be maintained is not only the smuggling route, but also the layers of intelligence networks buried in it.
As the largest mafia in Kanto, the Port Mafia has long had dealings with the West, so a complete intelligence network is also necessary.
This is the real purpose of Mori Ougai transferring him to this position.
They had taken a similar approach in the past when they were in Vongola.
However, compared to the extremely shady Port Mafia, although the Vongola is an old family, it is actually more... normal.
Therefore, this intelligence line was established by Hibari Kyoya.
The "Fame Group" run by the other party is spread all over the world and is the largest source of intelligence for the Vongola.
...As for the question of whether Fengji Group is one of the Fortune 500, it is merely the basic quality of a Cloud Guardian who wants to be strong and not be inferior to others.
Therefore, although this matter was a little unfamiliar to Tsunayoshi Sawada, he was not completely clueless.
However, it would take another two or three months for him to really understand the situation.
Two or three months later, the Godfather, who had initially grasped the intelligence clues, captured the trace of his brother Verlaine for the first time in his own intelligence network.
But before he could care about what his brother was doing out of brotherly love, an urgent message from outside Mori Owl called him back to the port mafia.
——[Dazai Osamu defected. 】
——【Return quickly.】
Tsunayoshi Sawada put down his plan to pack his bags to look for his brother and turned around to look for another partner.
Although I didn't plan to bring Dazai Osamu back to the port mafia as Mori Ogai "ordered" me to do...but at least I want to know why.
So he returned to Japan and spent nearly half a month searching in the slums for a guy wearing a linen-like hooded cloak.
The other person's black curly hair was even a little dull, and his iris-colored eyes instead glowed slightly.
Sawada Tsunayoshi frowned slightly.
"What happened?" he asked.
Dazai Osamu smiled happily.
“I defected.”
Like a child inviting petting.
But the Godfather frowned, looking completely indifferent to the matter.
He reached out his hand and touched Dazai Osamu's forehead, and the wrinkles between his brows became deeper.
"I mean, what happened," he repeated.
The smile Dazai Osamu showed was such a happy one, even with a hint of dreaminess.
"I'm going to die." He whispered happily, as if sharing a little secret with him, "I'm going to die soon."
Seeing Sawada Tsunayoshi's pupils tremble, he tilted his head.
"Are you surprised, Tsuna-kun?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi was silent for a moment and took a step back.
"No..." He covered his forehead with his hands in pain, and had to admit that although he wanted to deny it... this was indeed one of the situations he had anticipated.
The Godfather sighed and sat down next to Dazai Osamu.
He touched his bag and regretted not bringing any cigarettes. He could only sit there like a migrant worker returning from work.
Dazai Osamu looked at him for a while, and seemed to think this sitting posture was very funny, so he followed suit and sat down.
Sawada Tsunayoshi glanced at him and felt like sighing.
"As expected, is it because of the book?" he asked.
Dazai Osamu blinked.
"As expected, you know everything." He said, sighing, "Although I don't want to admit it... but Mr. Mouse seems to have really worked hard to save the world."
Although putting these two words together is enough to make Dazai Osamu look nauseous.
The Godfather looked at his exaggerated expression and couldn't help but sigh.
"Because the original direction has been disrupted, the foundation of the world's existence has been shaken?" He lowered his head and couldn't help but look at his fingers.
——There, the Vongola Ring, one of the cubes of seven, which was once the cornerstone of the world, was held.
If it's the Vongola Ring...
It was difficult for Tsunayoshi Sawada to control his thoughts from running in this direction. His mind was already grumbling about the possibility of adding a world to the cube of seven.
In the end, they are all the cornerstones of the world. One more or one less doesn't make any difference.
The Godfather thought guiltily.
But Dazai Osamu turned his gaze away from the Godfather's face.
"Although I shouldn't interrupt you," he said calmly, "it's too late."
Sawada Tsunayoshi turned his head and looked in the direction the other person was looking.
That is the sky of Yokohama. After the war, it was once called "the sky blessed by God" and was sought after by people from all over Japan.
And now, that sky began to fall.
Sawada Tsunayoshi suddenly looked at Dazai Osamu, who stood up staggeringly.
"Look," he said regretfully, "it's too late."
"——Apart from letting me die immediately, there is no other way."
