To be honest, Sawada Tsunayoshi was also confused when he read out this sentence.
He raised his eyes and met the eyes of Yoshino Akiko, who were filled with surprise.
It was rare for Tsunayoshi Sawada to get stuck in the shell.
But then he remembered that he was just a little idiot (not really), and decided to just go with the flow and be a idiot.
So, after hearing what the child who was suspected to be brought by Mori Ogai said, Yosano Akiko remained silent and just looked at her eagerly.
Although I was full of doubts, since the other party had acted like this, I couldn't say anything more to Yosano Akiko.
Only then did she have time to look at the child.
The quick glance just now showed that this was a brown-haired child with thin hands and feet, and he looked a little malnourished.
Only then did she have time to look at the other person carefully.
He was wearing oversized clothes, which made him look even smaller. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but the oversized white shirt seemed a little wet. His short brown hair looked a little frizzy, but for some reason it seemed a little wet. His face was tender and soft, which reminded people of a newborn bird.
But if so, the gentleness on that young face reminds us not of a baby bird, but of the sky where the baby bird spreads its wings and flies. The gentleness is almost compassionate, as if it can accommodate everything.
The painful and sad mood of Akiko Yoshino suddenly calmed down for a moment.
"Really?" She muttered with her hands on her hips. Even though she was still in the cold war with Mori Owl, she was still angry at such a child who obviously knew nothing. This was obviously beyond the bottom line of an angel with a good nature.
So she just snorted, and without caring about the soldier who was still lying on the ground after being treated by her, she came over, took the little brown-haired boy's hand, and led him to her room.
Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at the man on the ground hesitantly.
The injuries on the other person's body have been completely healed, but he is still lying on the floor, staring blankly at the ceiling, looking like a walking corpse.
The other party's desperate expression was really terrifying. She and Akiko Yoshino hesitated for a moment, looked at the young-looking boy, let go of her hand, and instead reached out to cover his eyes.
Sawada Tsunayoshi blinked subconsciously.
Because the outstretched hand was very close to the boy's eyes, the brown-haired boy's soft eyelashes scraped against the palm of Yoseno Akiko, bringing an indescribable throbbing.
This throbbing has nothing to do with love, but is a throbbing that comes from the soul and life.
When her eyelashes, as soft as a small fan, fluttered across my palms, I and Akiko Yoshino felt the presence of a vitality like a young sprout emerging from the ground.
Her eyelashes trembled and she met the boy's puzzled gaze.
With Yosano Akiko: "..."
The girl shook her head with a complicated expression, pulled the brown-haired little idiot around, and said, "Nothing, let's go back."
Not far away, the man she had saved finally came to his senses from his pain.
He turned his head and watched the young military medical assistant who had been so powerful in the army become silent and introverted. He didn't know what he was thinking about. After the two kids entered the room and closed the door, he turned back and looked at the empty ceiling, sighing silently.
Sawada Tsunayoshi knew nothing about this.
Perhaps because this body did not match his size, his movements were very clumsy and he almost fell flat on his face when he entered the door. Fortunately, Xie Ye Akiko was quick to catch him and avoided this dangerous outcome.
The black-haired girl looked at him and hesitated for a while, but finally said nothing.
Next, Sawada Tsunayoshi and Yosano Akiko entered and exited together.
Although he is not the owner of this warship, he and Yosano Akiko have an unexpectedly high status here due to their special abilities.
Three meals a day were delivered by a special person. When she walked outside, although there were many soldiers with calm faces and no desire to survive, there were also some who nodded and greeted her, and there was respect in their words.
Tsunayoshi Sawada followed the other person like a tail.
After figuring out the situation here and understanding Akiko Yosano's personality, the Godfather, who had gained some control over his body - although he was not yet that proficient - smiled skillfully at the awkward girl and soon took over the dual roles of "playmate" and "brother".
For example, she and Akiko Yono would take a short time every day to talk to Tsunayoshi Sawada about their hometown and past life, and Tsunayoshi Sawada would exchange skills that he knew and Akiko Yono was also interested in - recently they were learning some simple Morse code.
For example,
"If you don't drink milk, you won't grow tall." The brown-haired boy put a bottle of milk on the black-haired girl's cheek, squinted his eyes and smiled.
They are clearly about the same age, but there is no childishness in his actions - although it is quite cute, compared to baby birds grooming each other, his actions are more like the kindness and friendliness of an elder.
Yoseno Akiko took the milk with a frown on her face, feeling as if she was being looked down upon in some strange way.
However, supplies were very scarce on the battlefield, not to mention the Japanese army which was losing ground, so even though he felt that he was looked down upon by a guy who (seemingly) was younger than him, he and Yosano Akiko silently accepted the hard-earned supplies.
Before she could even look up, the other person pressed her head with a paw. The brown-haired boy smiled and said, "Yoshiyoshi, so good, so good." Finally, Yoseno Akiko couldn't help but squeeze the milk that she had drunk up.
"If you don't take your claws away, I'll chop them off," she said sullenly.
Sawada Tsunayoshi quickly withdrew his hand, laughed dryly twice, turned his head and muttered to the people around him, "Yosaino is so scary."
The young man sitting next to him looked at the two of them getting along and couldn't help but curl his lips.
This is an ordinary soldier.
But his relationship with Yosano Akiko seemed to be good - at least he could sit next to Yosano and have lunch together. After hearing Sawada Tsunayoshi's complaints, he pondered for a moment with his bowl in hand and nodded as if it was a matter of fact.
"That's horrible," he agreed.
She stood up angrily with Yoseno Akiko, the golden butterfly hair accessory on her short black hair gleaming with a faint light, and she flew away with her wings flashing amid the girl's "humph".
The young man who had just agreed with Sawada Tsunayoshi shook his head and looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi.
"Although he is a bad-tempered child sometimes," he said, "he is a good and correct child to Dr. Xie Ye."
"correct?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi tilted his head.
This adjective is really special.
Sawada Tsunayoshi repeated the word to express his doubt, but the young man did not answer. He just reached out a hand to rub his head, then picked up the plate and left.
Not long after, the taken-away Mori Ogai was "returned". When the man returned, he was still a gentleman, a beast in human clothing, and only showed a strange and weird smile when facing the two children with Yosano and Sawada Tsuneyoshi.
The other warships near this warship retreated one after another, but they showed no sign of retreating.
After staying here for so many days, Sawada Tsunayoshi has also figured out the structure of this place.
This is a place called "Changan Island".
According to the soldiers who were on good terms with the group, "Changan Island" did not exist before, but suddenly appeared in the Pacific Ocean one day without anyone knowing, and became the main battlefield of the war.
There is no day here, only night, and it does not belong to any country. It is like a unique area that exists only for war*.
The Japanese army had been losing ground here for a long time.
The existence of Sawada Tsunayoshi's body was abandoned because of the loss of the war. However, even in this situation, when the experimental subject that was considered to be the core of turning the tide of the war was abandoned, this army still did not receive an order to retreat and still remained here as the last line of defense of the war.
"Because we are the Undead Army," the soldier said with a complicated expression, "because we are immortal, we cannot retreat."
Ai?
Sawada Tsunayoshi slowly turned his head and met the eyes of Yosano Akiko who came out of the treatment room. He belatedly realized what the so-called "undead army" meant.
——Because it can heal all wounds, it means it will never die...right?
Thinking of this, Sawada Tsunayoshi actually felt a little chilly.
And the war continues.
The situation here was not so critical when Sawada Tsunayoshi came. However, as other troops retreated and left, the "utilization rate" of this unit increased greatly.
War, war, war. Even Sawada Tsunayoshi had never seen such a brutal war.
Human life becomes insignificant and powerless in front of the gigantic war machine. Human beings are sucked into the gigantic and cruel machine like ants. The dignity and weight that the human race should have are completely wiped out the moment the war starts.
This unit is even more so.
If there were other troops to help and take turns to go to the battlefield, now this troop has become a cyclical troop.
Soldiers were pushed into the meat grinder of war one by one. Those who survived were transported back to their unit, the Swallow Riders, and after being treated by the "angels" and Yosano Akiko, they were pushed back to the battlefield.
When Sawada Tsuneyoshi first arrived, the soldiers here were exhausted, but they still had the will to survive. But after he spent just a few days here, the soldiers' expressions had changed from tired to numb, like zombies, wandering between heaven and earth.
——During this process, the one who felt the same pain as the soldiers, or even greater pain, was Yoseno Akiko, who was once called an "angel."
On this day, before dinner, a soldier who had been chatting and laughing with Akiko Yono and said he would take her riding a bull when he returned home, raised the knife in his hand towards the girl who had once expressed his love for him with a sneer.
"If it weren't for you..." He raised the dagger high in both hands. The former kindness in his eyes was no longer there, only the pain and hatred that he could hardly contain, "If you weren't here..."
The dagger he stabbed at Yosano was blocked by Sawada Tsunayoshi with his quick eyes and hands - although his body was a little slow - and failed to injure Yosano Akiko, but left a deep mark on Sawada Tsunayoshi's hand.
The other soldiers surrounded him and separated the two. Sawada Tsunayoshi frowned and turned around to see Yosano Akiko sitting on the ground.
This was really too much for Yoseno Akiko, who was just the owner of a snack shop a few months ago.
Sawada Tsunayoshi watched the farce coldly, turned around and bent down, extending his hand as if he had done it to him for the first time with Yosano Akiko, to block the chaotic scene for her.
"Oh yes, hurt!"
Yosano Akiko reacted hastily, but her special ability was to heal humans when they were on the verge of death, so it was of no use for this minor wound.
Looking at her wrinkled brows, Sawada Tsunayoshi became the one who comforted her.
Even though he was a clumsy guy for now, at least he could speak fluently. After a while, he managed to relax Yosano Akiko's expression a little.
The black-haired girl fell into a deep sleep on the bed.
The door opened slightly, and Tsunayoshi Sawada hesitated for a moment, then tiptoed around the girl who had her eyes closed even in her sleep, and moved towards the door.
As expected, the person standing at the door was none other than the current manager of this warship - Mori Ougai.
The black-haired young man stood at the door with his hands behind his back. He heard the door close with a slight click and turned around with a smile.
"How's it going with Xie Ye?" he asked.
Tsukichi Sawada had no good intentions towards this guy - if he was a more vicious kid, he would probably regret why he saved this guy in the first place.
But if it weren't for him, Sawada Tsunayoshi might still be an illegal resident, wandering on the battlefield.
Therefore, Sawada Tsunayoshi had slightly complicated feelings towards this man.
Out of courtesy, he nodded to the other party and briefly explained the situation with Xie Ye.
"Dr. Mori," he asked, using the same title he used with Xie Yemanabu, and raised his head slightly, "When will the war end?"
This is a question that sounds very "innocent", and it is also in line with Tsunayoshi Sawada's current personality.
When Mori Ogai heard this question, his eyes dimmed for a moment, and then he squatted down to be at the same height as Sawada Tsunayoshi.
"It all depends on your decision, Tsuna." The man who had witnessed the amazing power of the man-made gods suppressed his ambitions and said softly, "Are you willing to become the hub that changes the outcome of this war?"
…
…
When Yosano Akiko and I woke up, they saw Sawada Tsunayoshi squatting on a chair by the window, staring out the window in a daze.
The boy's soft face always had a cold look on it, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
But before Yoseno Akiko could hesitate to say anything, she saw the other person turned his head and noticed her presence.
"You're awake." The brown-haired boy said softly, "How are you? Are you feeling better?"
——She should have asked this question.
She and Akiko Yono's eyes fell on the bandage on Sawada Tsunayoshi's left hand, their eyes dim.
Sawada Tsunayoshi noticed her gaze, subconsciously hid his left hand, clenched his right fist and coughed.
"It's okay," he said. "Don't be so surprised."
After hearing what he said, Yoseno Akiko was still not reassured. She went forward to check him personally and reapplied medicine to him. After tying the white bandage with a cute bow, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She was carrying too much weight.
A huge burden, enough to crush an adult to death, was placed on Yoseno Akiko's narrow shoulders. She was once just an ordinary girl, but because she had excessively strong strength and a soft heart, she had to bear such a burden.
Compared to the soldiers who were constantly dying and resurrecting, Akiko Yosano may not have experienced such unforgettable pain as them, nor would she constantly recall the painful memories of a part of her body being separated from her in her dreams. The weight she bore was perhaps only one-tenth of what everyone else endured, or even less.
But what accumulated in her is more than just this tiny fraction.
The burden that even adults find difficult to bear was placed on a girl who simply possessed great abilities, which inevitably caused an imbalance on both sides.
It must be...very painful.
Thinking about the fact that Rambo, who is of the same age and has the same powerful strength, and Rambo, who is just a spoiled brat, Sawada Tsunayoshi inevitably has a little more preference for him.
——At this age, it’s still time to act coquettishly.
The Godfather hesitated for a moment, then gently put his arms around her. In the blank and lifeless eyes of Yosano Akiko, he gently patted her back as if he was comforting Rambo who didn't get any candy when he was a child.
"It's okay." He said softly, "If you want to cry, maybe it will be better if you cry."
"If you keep frowning, you will age prematurely."
It was one of his rare witty remarks.
But it did not bring laughter. Instead, Yoseno Akiko, with dull eyes, grabbed his clothes, lowered her head, and her black hair fell down weakly.
After a while, drops of water began to drip down, landing on the ground and seeping into the carpet.
And from beginning to end, both Yosano Akiko and I were silent.
——A powerless child will naturally be silent when he cries.
"I..." The once arrogant and romantic girl lowered her head and asked tremblingly, "Am I wrong?"
——Shouldn’t she exist in this world?
Tsunayoshi Sawada didn't know how to answer this question, but he knew that no one was "wrong".
So he lowered his head, held up the face of the nearly collapsed girl with both hands, and seriously and patiently denied her.
"That's not true." He said gently, his eyebrows were calm and gentle, and his pupils were shining, as if they contained the sky and the ocean. "Yoseno is the bravest child I have ever seen."
He praised it so much.
Yosano Akiko's heart suddenly calmed down.
She lowered her head and fidgeted with her fingers nervously.
"I would believe it," she murmured. "If you say so, what if I believe it?"
Hearing this, Sawada Tsunayoshi was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
…
I feel much better now that I'm with Akiko Yosano.
She recovered a little and realized belatedly that her hair accessories were lost somewhere.
Because it was a gift from an important person (emphasis added), after briefly explaining the situation, she rushed out in a hurry to look for it.
Sawada Tsunayoshi thought about it and felt that it was probably lost in the chaos just now, so he prepared to go out and help her look for it.
However, before he went out, he heard a sound.
【Ms. Yoseno, I hope you can pass on a message for me*. 】
——It was a somewhat familiar voice.
Sawada Tsunayoshi turned his head and remembered that this was the voice of the person who was very important to Yosano Akiko.
But the other party’s voice…
Sawada Tsunayoshi was silent for a moment.
He subconsciously glanced towards the door. The footsteps of Xie Ye were already far away, but the Godfather was still worried that if the other party came in at this time, he might hear some unpleasant words.
The other party thought that the person standing here was still Akiko Yosano, and talked to himself.
This is the young man who once praised Yosano Akiko as "angels". Sawada Tsunayoshi had met him once before, and he was not as tired as he is now. At that time, the young man could still smile, and there was still a gleam of longing for life in his eyes.
But now, listening to the other person's words, Sawada Tsunayoshi can no longer hear that yearning.
——He even tried to tell Yoseno Akiko that she was not just an "angel" but an "angel of death."
Sawada Tsunayoshi, who had been frowning slightly since the young man's negative words began, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He held the microphone that could be used to talk to the other party, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry," he said, "but I don't think Yoseno can say goodbye to you and your family."
——Rather, this kind of thing needs to be done in person!
Sawada Tsunayoshi frowned tightly and heard silence from the other side for a while.
"I see... Is Ms. Yosano not here now?"
The young man's voice is extremely rude.
Sawada Tsunayoshi was silent for a moment.
Hearing the other person's voice like that, the anger that had arisen from his words subsided a little.
Even if he was angry, he shouldn't show it to this person. Sawada Tsunayoshi tried his best to calm himself down.
——He is also a victim.
Although he didn't stay here for many days, Tsunayoshi Sawada still had a lot of communication with the soldiers.
In just a few days, he watched helplessly as the soldiers, who were able to cheer up and laugh with him and Xie Ye at the beginning, turned into the walking corpses. He knew that these soldiers, who were just ordinary people, had experienced disasters and hardships that ordinary people could hardly imagine.
In fact, because they are on the battlefield, they often don't even have time to vent.
So Sawada Tsunayoshi tried hard to calm himself down.
"Yes," he answered the other party's question first, "she just went out - because she accidentally lost the butterfly hair ornament she cherished and given to her by an important person."
Sawada Tsunayoshi could feel the person on the other side's breathing hitch.
He paused, making sure there was no other sound from the other side. He quickly thought about how to find someone nearby who could help him. Then, estimating Xie Ye's pace and the direction she was heading, he silently opened the intercom in the room that roughly corresponded to the other side.
...I hope you're here, with Ms. Yono.
As he thought so, he spoke loudly, bent his fingers and tapped them lightly.
The frequency of the tapping was the codebook that Xie Ye had just learned. If the other party heard it, he would surely know what he meant and run in the corresponding direction.
On the other side, Sawada Tsunayoshi began to comfort the other party. He slowed down his voice and tried to make his childish tone more mature so that the other party could regard him as a friend of equal status... Only in this way could the other party listen to his words.
"But I think you can go back to them - then whether it's a reunion or a farewell, can't you say it in person?"
The breathing on the other side was choked.
"No, that day will never come," he said bitterly.
Soldiers are actually under extremely high mental stress for a long time.
The damage done to their bodies, the torment of their spirits by the war, the loss of their friends, everything wore on these ordinary soldiers - until their death.
Therefore, collapse is just a matter of a moment.
In such a situation, the first thing you need to do is to stabilize the other person's emotions.
Tsunayoshi Sawada didn't know whether he and Akiko Yono had heard his "password". He leaned against the wall with his eyes half closed, outlining the possible routes of him and Akiko Yono in his mind, and tapping on the microphone corresponding to each room that the other party might arrive at.
When these knocks are transmitted to the other end through the microphone, they will be amplified several times, enough to attract the attention of the other side.
Finally, when he knocked on a room, he got a slow response.
Sawada Tsunayoshi's tone also softened.
"I know you are in pain," he said. Although he could not empathize with the soldier, the godfather, who was still criticized by his tutor as a "bad guy", could not help but feel heartbroken when he thought about it.
"But please don't put the cart before the horse, soldier."
He asked, "Is it because of the pain that I couldn't hold on until the moment of returning home, or is it because I wanted to protect my family and brothers at home that I held on until now?"
"Protecting... my family?"
The other side responded slowly.
Sawada Tsunayoshi responded.
"If you're not sure, just go home and make sure." He said softly, and the little figures representing him and Yosano Akiko in his mind should have already rushed to each other's door. "But if you die, there will be nothing left."
【Boom——】
"Nothing... left?"
The sound of the door opening and the young man's slightly dazed repetition rang out almost at the same time.
Sawada Tsunayoshi sighed helplessly in his heart.
"Yes, nothing." He said, "Besides, I probably know your problem more or less... Since there is a problem, let's solve it."
The soldier looked at the "Angel" lady who was in a hurry and panting, and clenched the piece of paper in his hand inconspicuously.
He heard the voice on the other side saying something that sounded like a fantasy, and he couldn't help but snort and laugh helplessly.
"Solve the problem?" he repeated, looking tired and stubborn. "What if it can't be solved?"
——That’s a really good question.
But Sawada Tsunayoshi gave the "correct" answer without even thinking about it.
…
Mori Owl sneezed.
He is a little absent-minded today.
As the person in charge of this warship, Mori Ogai is well aware of the minor frictions that occur at night.
He flipped through the reports about the last battle, which was the battle that made most of the undead army lose their faith in fighting. He closed them and let out a breath.
Even though Mori Ougai's control over people's hearts was far from as mature as it is today, he knew that the people under his command were almost reaching their limit.
The Japanese troops on Changan Island have actually been evacuated, but the top government officials still do not see the decisive role of [superpowers] in the war... Mori Ogai rarely questions whether his approach is correct. He just thinks that perhaps the role that Yosano Akiko's abilities can play in the war is still too weak.
Although he was able to constantly restart the army and turn this ordinary army into the [Undead Legion], the members of the so-called legion were still ordinary humans. Without the necessary perseverance and unshakable determination, they were worthless in the battlefield after being transformed by the psychics.
He needs a bigger and more powerful force that can turn the tide of the battle.
Mori Owl closed his eyes, and the beautiful flame that carried him flying that day appeared before his eyes again.
It is really too beautiful.
Mori Ou only had to close his eyes to picture the powerful flame again in his mind.
Is the flame a real flame? Or is it just an energy body that maintains the flame? How strong is it? How destructive is it? To what extent can Tsunayoshi Sawada use it? Can it play a role in the war? Although Japan's defeat is a foregone conclusion...but if he can be activated, can he be resurrected and fight for a new dawn?
These questions kept circling in Mori Ogai's mind, and ultimately they all came down to one question - Tsunayoshi Sawada.
This artificial little god was learning about humans at a very fast speed. He was only taken away for a few days, but he quickly became familiar with Yosano Akiko and probably learned some traits from her that he didn't like to see.
As expected of "Amaterasu", he thought sweetly and happily, and was troubled by how to trap a rabbit.
Although he invited (entice) (cajoled) the other party to join the war by using his relationship with Yosano Akiko as an excuse, the little god did not respond to him immediately.
During the waiting period, Mori Ou felt like a fox waiting for the little prince, full of expectations but afraid of being rejected.
Finally, after waiting, there was a knock on his door.
After getting permission, the boy, who was about the same height as the door handle, opened the door handle and pushed the door in. His brown hair was a little limp, and he looked soft and cute. If he hadn't witnessed the boy's powerful fighting ability with his own eyes, Mori Ougai would not have placed his trust in such a child.
He looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi and couldn't help but reveal an expression like Wolf kidnapping Little Red Riding Hood.
Alice, wearing a maid outfit, pushed the door open and walked into the lounge - she was actually Mori Ogai's special ability. Facing the artificial little god, even though she knew that she probably couldn't defeat it, Mori Ogai still summoned her special ability and placed it by her side.
Alice, who already had some awareness of her own (according to Mori Owl's setting), glared at him.
The beautiful woman with a cold expression squatted down and waved to the rabbit who was scratching at the door timidly.
"Alice!"
The boy cried out happily.
Alice smiled as well.
Her original setting was to be cold and even a little mechanical, but when facing the soft boy, no matter how cold she was, it turned into tenderness, revealing a smile that even Mori Ou was jealous of.
With the help of her special ability, Alice and Sawada Tsunayoshi got close for a while, and only after confirming that the other person was no different from usual did Mori Ougai feel subtly relieved.
He "drove away" Alice sadly, waved his hand, and summoned Sawada Tsunayoshi to his side.
"Is there anything you need from me, Gang?" he asked, looking like a really good brother.
——If we ignore the fact that he almost never looked for Sawada Tsunayoshi except at this time.
For some reason, Tsunayoshi Sawada found the shadow of his unreliable father in Ougai Mori.
But it's probably all thanks to the support of his peers. Compared with Mori Ougai, although Sawada Iemitsu is unreliable and not a good person, at least his father has never used him for political purposes... probably.
After thinking about it casually, Tsunayoshi Sawada realized that because he was too repulsive to the other party, he hardly left any memory of the other party except for major events.
...Maybe this is a good thing?
And compared to Sawada Iemitsu, Sawada Tsunayoshi always feels that Reborn is more like his father.
It might sound hypocritical to say that he is both a teacher and a father, but in fact it is true. When he was young, the discipline and love that Tsunayoshi Sawada could get from a "father" almost all came from Reborn.
Even as he gradually grew up, from the stumbling little waste of Namimori Junior High School to a qualified Vongola Decimo, Reborn still played an important role in his life. So much so that when he was occasionally annoyed by Mukuro, he would say something like "Have you finally escaped from the protection of Arcballeno, little Vongola baby?"
But what's wrong with relying on Reborn?
Sawada Tsunayoshi, the little baby, the Vongola, thought with confidence that the Mukuro guy was just jealous that he had a teacher like Reborn. Look at him, not only did he come from a wild background without a teacher, but even the apprentices he accepted were the type like Fran, who had a big mouth just to piss off their master to death. It is true that evil will be punished by evil.
Of course, if he were to recall the scattered memories he had with Reborn, Tsunayoshi Sawada would find that many of them were not as beautiful as he had imagined.
"Oh yeah?"
——When he muttered like this one time, Reborn slowly cleaned the gun——wait, why does the Len-turned gun need to be cleaned with the Len-turned handkerchief——while slowly asking him, "Do you want me to send a copy of the video of you streaking around in junior high school to everyone in the Vongola?"
Sawada Tsuneyoshi, who had become a mature godfather, was silent for a moment, and in a very immature way gave his tutor a standard eight-tooth smile.
"Of course not," he said, "I mean, Reborn is the best teacher in the world, the best tutor."
The bad-humored tutor stared at him for a long while before withdrawing his gaze with satisfaction.
"Of course." - He even said this in such a timid way.
And what about Mr. Godfather?
The Godfather, who was already used to being bullied by the tutor, could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger, shedding miserable tears in his heart.
Anyway, this is already a habit, he thought bitterly, if he can't solve the problem that makes Reborn unhappy, then he will be the next one to be solved. In order not to be solved, what is the point of a few sweet words (not)?
It can be said that there is no dignity at all.
However, the so-called uncrowned king of the inner world was lost for a period of time and was forever sealed in memory.
The once vivid memories turned gray with the departure of a certain person. Tsunayoshi Sawada has wondered countless times whether things would have been different if he had tried his best to stop Reborn on the day he left.
But he couldn't help but think about another possibility - even if he kept Reborn, he had not yet developed a material that could restrain Byakuran's "non-seven cubic rays". Would he have to watch helplessly as the tutor who had accompanied him for half his life died?
Just the thought of this would drive him crazy.
So Sawada Tsunayoshi took that gamble.
Time passed and back to the present, Sawada Tsunayoshi's mind was full of random thoughts about many things that he didn't even know about, and he forced a smile at Mori Oo.
"I want to help Yosano," he said, looking up. "Dr. Mori, can you help Tsuna?"
Mori Ogai smiled and lowered his head.
"Of course."
Sawada Tsunayoshi followed suit and showed a happy expression.
Then, Mori Ogai said, "However, before that, maybe Tsuna and his brother need to go see an uncle together."
He looked troubled, like someone who was trying to trick a kid.
