Looking at the serious and seemingly hypocritical expression of Furutani Rei, even the good-tempered (probably) Morobushi Kagemitsu couldn't help but feel that "this childhood friend can't be kept anymore".
His fist hardened, but softened a little when it met the other party's eyes, which seemed serious but actually concealed a hint of panic and helplessness.
Zero is still a child...bullshit.
He waved his hand, and the blond young man with a vigilant look stared at Sawada Tsunayoshi hanging on the door handle, then walked sideways to Morofushi Kagemitsu who was standing at the entrance.
Even though he subconsciously found the reason for the child's appearance, Furuya Rei still found it difficult to face it. He did not jump up and run away when he saw the brown-haired cub... This was the self-cultivation of Officer Furuya after years of training.
What else?
Nothing is left.
His thoughts were in an unspeakable mess for a moment. Even if the former boss of the organization, Old Crow, appeared in front of him again, he would not necessarily be as flustered as he is now.
But...it's that person.
In fact, there is always a layer of separation between Furuya Rei and that person.
There was neither the familiarity between them that a pretty boy had gained through forced contact, nor the intimacy that came from childhood after knowing each other's identities.
Although there was a reason for the lack of certain fate, it was more because he was constantly reminding himself at the beginning that he could not get close to her.
Even if the other party occasionally does not behave like a vicious mafia, you should not let your guard down.
Just because the lion disguised himself as a rabbit, you can't really treat the other party as a weak and helpless rabbit.
Therefore, in this sense, he should be the one who is least affected in the end.
——But is it really like that?
Until now, Rei Furuya still thinks of him from time to time. He knows that Hiro thinks of him too, but he doesn't dare to ask if his childhood friend feels the same way as he does... He can see that person by his side almost every day and every night.
Johnny the Gentle, Johnny the Majestic, Johnny the Playful, and... Johnny the Flame-lit.
Before that, Rei Furuya had never met such a person.
But before he had the chance to get in touch with him more deeply, he died while he was still curled up in that man's protection, knowing nothing.
When he died, Rei Furuya didn't even know his true identity. His name, his identity... All the real things about that person, Rei Furuya had never touched.
As an undercover agent planted by the Japanese Public Security Bureau in the organization, Toru Amuro was even full of hostility towards that person.
He was sent out to an area outside the organization's main business and territory, doing some work that was said to be mafia but was actually more like a residents' committee. He returned with a heart of "revenge" and faced his own death.
Until today, Rei Furuya still doesn't know how true the things he has touched upon about that person, his identity, his personality, and how much truth there is in them, about the person who once really existed by his side.
Fūya Rei's fingers trembled.
Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was originally preparing to throw this troublesome little beast away, quickly caught the other party's movements and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"You found me." He quickly exchanged glances with the cub still hanging on the door handle, and said in a serious tone, "Yes, this child..."
The pair of blue cat eyes looked directly at his little child, revealing a hint of sincerity.
"Tsunayoshi is the child of the senior generation."
Tsukiki Sawada, who was dangling on the door handle, almost fell down.
"All of you......!"
He called out hurriedly and met the smiling eyes of the cat-eyed young man.
"You have to call him Uncle Zhufu."
Noticing the cub's posture, Morobushi Kagemitsu walked around the careless little Kairan and picked up Sawada Tsunayoshi and put him in his arms, rubbing the soft fur that looked very nice to the touch, "But I have a brother, and it's easy to confuse him if you always call him Morobushi Morobushi..."
He smiled, and Sawada Tsunayoshi strangely saw some shadow of Yamamoto Takeshi in this not-so-cheerful smile. It was probably the result of the two people being so close to each other that they became closer.
Sawada Tsunayoshi's heart sank, and as expected, he heard Morofushi Kagemitsu say softly, "Just call me Uncle Kagemitsu."
Oh my god, Uncle Jingguang.
Sawada Tsunayoshi's expression changed. Although he was more or less thinking that he could make up stories whenever he opened his mouth under the urging of his tutor, at this moment, he still turned his head and pretended to be shy and dived into the other person's arms.
Furukaya Rei stared in a daze at the cub's round little butt exposed outside.
I don’t know who chose the clothes for him, but the cub was wearing a cute set of overalls.
Cute not only means that the baby is cute, but also this piece of clothing - or rather, this pair of overalls with a bunny tail is very cute.
At least when he saw the kid who looked like his senior turned his head to reveal his butt, Furiya Rei couldn't take his eyes away from the cute rabbit tail.
This is really the predecessor... uh, does he mean the predecessor's son?
Are you serious?
Too cute.
Noticing the gaze of his childhood sweetheart, Morofushi Kagemitsu's smile froze, and he dug out Sawada Tsunayoshi without leaving a trace.
Originally he was still thinking about whether to invite Zero in, but now he changed his mind, returned Sawada Tsunayoshi to Jigokudera Hayato who was walking over, and gave a soothing smile to the boy who looked at him in confusion.
"Well then..."
"Would you like to come in and sit down?"
The voice that was originally prepared to say goodbye and the voice of invitation were mixed together. It was obvious that one was from an adult and the other was from a baby, but when put together they were particularly harmonious.
Morofushi Kagemitsu looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi in surprise, and the little godfather, who was placed in an absolutely comfortable position by his caring left and right hands, raised his head slightly.
Even though he had just acted shy with his whole body buried in someone's pectoral muscles, when someone else was holding him, the boy's aura changed.
Even Morofushi Kagemitsu was stunned when he saw Sawada Tsunayoshi like this.
——If he had seen Sawada Tsunayoshi with such a powerful aura at the beginning, he would not have come up with such absurd speculations in his mind, such as Johnny's posthumous child.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Zero - although the other party seemed a little surprised by the cub's momentum, he didn't seem to associate this momentum with another person at all.
Mixed feelings.
With mixed and different feelings, the group sat on the sofa at the Sawada family's house.
The sofa, which was purchased in a hurry, was fully loaded when it was used for the first time. Jigokudera Hayato secretly took note of it. After all, he had instructed his subordinates to buy it temporarily in the middle of the night, and the current size would definitely not be enough for people to sit on in the future.
Thinking of the huge potential rival in the family who could snatch the leader's position, the steady and reliable Guardian of the Storm could not help but grit his teeth.
"Hayato?" The leader, noticing his change in mood, sounded puzzled.
"No, nothing."
——However, if it is for the sake of the tenth generation, then it is okay to be a little patient.
That's it.
A group of adults who were not actually familiar with each other sat in the Sawada family's residence with their hands and feet tucked in.
Because the atmosphere was too tense, Tsunayoshi Sawada, the only one present with a cub shell on his head, turned on the TV, and Garden Babies was playing.
Although no one was talking, the atmosphere had unknowingly become strange.
It was not until Morofushi Jingguang's cell phone called that the two guys, who were able to communicate normally but were obviously distracted, had to leave.
The reluctance to leave was so obvious in both of them that it was impossible to ignore it even with your eyes closed.
Sawada Tsunayoshi hesitated for a moment.
He patted Jigokudera Hayato, who was holding him like a loyal knight, and his friend, who had a perfect understanding with him, lifted him up.
Sawada Tsunayoshi jumped onto Morobushi Kagemitsu's shoulders and rubbed his face against him.
"Let's play together next time," he said, his brown eyes twinkling with a light that was very familiar to Moroki when he was still "Scotland".
The brown-haired cub turned his head to the other side and waved his hand, summoning the former Bourbon to his front like calling a puppy.
The other party hesitated and lowered his head slightly, looking as docile as a golden retriever.
Sawada Tsunayoshi placed his small palm on the golden hair that looked nice to the touch. Perhaps because the owner often stayed up late, the golden hair was not as soft and pleasant to touch as it looked. However, because of the owner's obedience, the cub felt comfortable to rub it.
Rei Furuya could even hear the sound of his own heartbeat.
The claw that was covering his body moved away, and along with it the haze that had lingered for who knows how long also dissipated.
The blond young man raised his eyes slightly and saw the brown-haired cub smiling softly at him.
"You too, Zero." Sawada Tsunayoshi said softly, "If there's a chance, let's go play together."
His gentle voice, exactly the same as in his memory, echoed in his ears, and his heartbeat, which had been pounding so hard that it almost disturbed his thinking since he stepped into the house, gradually calmed down.
"That would be great." He tried hard to curl the corners of his lips, leaned forward slightly, and extended an invitation, "Let's watch the fireworks together, okay?"
——Senior.
Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was standing side by side with him, frowned slightly and moved his posture to cover his knuckles that were whitened by being pinched.
…
After sending the two police officers away, Yamamoto Takeshi and Jigokudera Hayato's momentum also relaxed.
"Even though they are all nice people, I still subconsciously became nervous, haha."
Facing the leader's puzzled look, Yamamoto Takeshi explained, "Look, Tsunayoshi, it's like a mouse meeting a cat... Even though it knows that this is probably a cat that can get along well with it, it will still be afraid, right?"
"?" Hayato Jigokudera, who was very familiar with this guy, frowned, "Who said you were a rat..."
“Indeed.”
Sawada Tsunayoshi pinched his chin and involuntarily followed half of Yamamoto Takeshi's thoughts.
Then he looked up and saw Hayato Jigokudera trapped in a clam.
"Hayato...?"
The silver-haired young man, who had the self-cultivation of the tenth generation's right and left hands, stood up straight.
"No, there is nothing. Since the Tenth Generation said so, it must be true!"
If you ignore what they are talking about, some people might think they are discussing some terrible topic.
Tsunayoshi Sawada covered his forehead with his hands.
Yamamoto Takeshi pulled him up from the cabinet at the entrance, his expression suddenly froze and became serious.
"A-Tsuna, are you... a little heavier?"
"Huh? Really?"
The Mist Guardian, who was full of curiosity (crossed out) and concern for the cub leader, also came over, put on a pair of glasses from somewhere, and measured the leader's data accurately (with the naked eye), and finally pinched his chin, "It's actually true."
Sawada Tsunayoshi also showed a surprised expression.
Jigokudera Hayato took out a complete set of measuring equipment as if by magic, and after getting the leader's consent, he worked for several minutes, and finally obtained accurate data and final conclusion.
"The Tenth Generation... seems to have grown up a bit."
It should have been a joyful thing.
However, when Hayato Jikudera thought about the diaper factory he had just acquired and the first batch of diapers he had prepared specially for the leader was still on the way, he couldn't help feeling a sense of loss.
...No wait, how can you be such a Jigokudera Hayato? How powerless and miserable the tenth generation must be to be like this, how can you, for your own selfish reasons, hope that he at least uses up the first batch of diapers before becoming an adult? You are such a sinner...
“Eh—Is that so?”
My self-condemnation was interrupted by a hearty voice.
Jigokudera Hayato looked up and saw that his partner, with whom he had been friends for ten years and who still sometimes wanted to fight, had a distressed expression on his face.
What happened? Did he miss something? Will it endanger the safety of the Judaime?
The tenth generation Vongola's most capable right-hand man (self-proclaimed) became alert with great professionalism.
Then I heard Yamamoto Takeshi say in a distressed and regretful voice: "If Tsunayoshi becomes a big boy so quickly, then the dinosaur duck, penguin, panda, and lion pajamas I bought for you... won't be wearable anymore?"
