Chapter 84: Tactical Avoidance She is just a dumb raccoon...
From his youth as Reborn's student to his current position as the tenth head of the Vongola clan, Sawada Tsunayoshi has weathered many storms, witnessing events like the Black Obsidian War and the Ring War. While even in his youth, he would still panic over these unexpected events, he has now become a mature adult, no longer subject to significant emotional fluctuations...
...But facing this situation, even Sawada Tsunayoshi couldn't completely control his expression.
"...Hayato?" He called out to Gokudera Wolf tentatively. The wolf put its paws over its eyes, ears drooping, and barked softly.
Sawada Tsunayoshi suppressed the twitching corners of his lips and looked at the Akita dog in front of him. Yamamoto, on the other hand, was completely unburdened, waving his paw cheerfully, his face full of the expression "Come play!"
...even a younger version of Takeshi... Yamamoto Takeshi has actually matured quite a bit in recent years, and he hasn't seen him this cheerful in ages... Was it because his personality was affected by becoming a puppy? Or is it just a visual illusion? Hayato also seems a little different than usual... But dogs and humans are quite different anyway!
The brown-haired young man's inner complaints surged, but he didn't show any signs of being too upset. He pressed his forehead and cast his gaze upon the culprit—Takeru aside, Hayato certainly didn't choose to become like this. The variable that turned them both into puppies could only be his master...but where was his junior sister?!
He turned around, and Chaomu, who had been standing nearby just a moment ago, had vanished again. In a split second, where the young girl had once stood, a gray raccoon was left. It tilted its head and looked at him innocently. As he stared at her in shock, it took a step forward and leaned against his trouser leg. "Meow—"
The raccoon didn't know what the culprit was. She was just a little raccoon who couldn't talk.
She will probably be held accountable because she is the only human being - as long as she turns into an animal, the blame will not be on her!
Sawada Tsunayoshi: “…………”
Although it was a bit strange that a living person could turn into an animal, he could realize without thinking that the raccoon in front of him was transformed from Chao Mu.
"...Junior Sister?" The warm little animal was half-lying on the surface of his shoe, so close that it made him feel weak inside. His eyebrows twitched slightly. After hesitating for two seconds, he chose to bend down and gently poke her trembling triangular ears. "It's not a good idea to choose to escape at this time..."
Escape? This is called tactical avoidance.
The little raccoon looked back at him with its golden eyes looking righteously, wagging its tail and leaning on his calf, unable to get up.
Sawada Tsunayoshi: “…………”
well.
Although I had a vague premonition before...but Junior Sister's personality is still a bit strange...
She looked a little too shameless, and Mukuji Lang behind her wanted to explain to the tenth generation on her behalf, but he got up too quickly and hit his head on the table with a loud thud.
The Akita dog that was closer was also a little eager to move. The raccoon's wagging tail attracted his attention, and he took a step forward involuntarily. He nudged her back with his wet nose and pushed her against his head like a ball. "Woof?"
Chaomu suddenly lost weight: “……!”
She was caught off guard and leaned back, and Gulu slid from the large dog's head to his back, sitting on his smooth fur. Her senior brother held his forehead and watched the scene, his brows relaxed.
"It seems that Wu and Junior Sister get along very well... It saves me the trouble of introducing them." The corners of his lips curled up slightly, but he couldn't help but reach out and gently press the tip of the raccoon's ear. "However, it is absolutely impossible to get away with it like this-"
"Tell me, what 'trial' did Reborn set for you, and how did you, Junior Sister, turn Hayato and Takeru into this state?"
The arrangements were made...but the effect of the small animal tea party was completely unexpected.
Asami's ears were itchy from being poked, and his eyes wandered: "Anyway, it's all because of the mission... Gokudera-kun can change back tonight, but Yamamoto-kun will have to wait until tomorrow morning..."
When asked what the specific mission was, she lay on her back and pretended to be dead. When Yamamoto used his claws to pull her, she hugged her tail and rolled into Sawada Tsunayoshi's arms, looking like a scoundrel who said "little animal doesn't understand human language."
Yusilang was not clear about her specific trial, and could only provide his own experience. He said that Chaomu suddenly appeared in the form of a raccoon with a melon and gave him an "apple", and explained the effect of the apple by the way.
So Junior Sister’s talent is poisonous food similar to Bi Yangqi’s?
Based on the above situation, Sawada Tsunayoshi silently ruled out the possibility that everything was Reborn's mission in his heart - looking at the expression of his junior sister, Reborn's mission did exist, but turning the guardian into a puppy should not be in the mission requirements, but her free play.
As for the tasks Reborn assigned, given his usual penchant for "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude," they were likely to be serious but mixed with some strange content, which was why the junior sister was so free... For example, if the task was to "Understand the Guardians," there would most likely be some seemingly ridiculous tests...
From the perspective of mischievousness, the apprentice sister and Reborn might have a lot in common - but after Sawada Tsunayoshi became a mature leader, Reborn's "pranks" were much less than before; although it seemed like he was persecuted this time, he actually felt a little nostalgic...
The moment this thought occurred to him, the brown-haired young man, having recovered from his shock, complained to himself in his heart: What on earth is he missing? Is he a masochist?
"It's basically all over until tomorrow... luckily I don't have any plans for today." He held the little raccoon pretending to be dead in his arms, letting its gray fur stick to his neat suit jacket. He looked down at the two large dogs surrounding him, thought for a moment, and made an arrangement. "Hayato hasn't had a day off in a while, so with today included, let's make it a three-day vacation. I'll take care of the backlog of work. As for Takeru, have fun."
Hearing his gentle voice making the arrangements, the raccoon, lying on her back, calmly opened one eye, realizing that the storm had almost passed. "What a kind man, Senior Brother, you're not even angry about this." No wonder Reborn-sensei dared to assign her such a prank. Was he sure she wouldn't fail?
"Tenth generation...!" The leader's arrangement was quite considerate. Mukuji Wolf's green eyes were moist. He placed his paws on the leader's knees, his ears drooping with guilt. "How could I have made you work so hard... It was all my carelessness...!"
Sawada Tsunayoshi was shaken by the silver wolf's thick claws and comforted him helplessly: "Hayato, you should have taken a vacation. Even if this incident hadn't happened, I was calculating the time and forced you to have a good rest for a few days..."
"I don't need to rest at all! How can I rest when the Judaime is still working?"
"Be at ease, Tsuna doesn't want to see you like this either."
Compared to Jūdera Wolf, Yamamoto Dog was clearly taking this arrangement much better. The Akita Dog nudged Silver Wolf with its head in a friendly manner, purring cheerfully, "It's a rare day off, so relax and cherish it, Jūdera Dog. Let's play baseball together, woof?"
"How can I leave the Tenth Generation to work alone? Of course I have to stay and help with the affairs!" Mukudera Wolf disdainfully used his claws to pry away his head that was leaning towards him, and said righteously, "Don't worry, Tenth Generation, even though I have become like this, there is absolutely no problem in handling simple work..."
Having said that, he encountered difficult problems in the simplest links.
Inside the chief's office, Silver Wolf grimly pawed at a signet pen, unable to complete the arduous task of gripping it with his claws. The pen was dragged from the left side of the carpet to the right, and even when he clamped it with his two paws together, it only left a barely discernible ink mark on the paper.
"After all, unlike humans, puppies' paws aren't that flexible..." Sawada Tsunayoshi sat at his desk, coughed lightly, and hid the smile on his lips. "Hayato, why don't you go play baseball with Takeru? Leave the work to me."
Yamamoto was already frolicking on the lawn outside with the raccoon on his back, his fur tanned golden. The midday sun made the raccoon's tongue loll as it plucked at the Akita's fur, its fluffy tail lashing in the air as the dog leaped.
Wang and Wang are destined to not understand each other, and Yusi Wolf is completely unable to accept the fact that he cannot help his leader.
"There's still a lot of work left, and no one else can help you..." He flicked his tail anxiously, the tip of his tail slapping the ground. "I have no problem with everything else. I just need someone to help me with the written records..."
"If you have any work, I can do my best to complete it for you."
Yamamoto Wang was still running, and the gray-black shadow of the little raccoon passed by the window and sneaked towards a trash can in the corner. Wusilang's tail curled up, and he suddenly thought of the cake she had painted for him.
"I have an idea, Tenth Generation!" He stood up and ran towards the courtyard. "Please wait for two minutes."
Two minutes later, the confused little raccoon was carried back to the office by the silver wolf by the scruff of the neck and thrown in front of a pile of documents.
"...writing official documents for me?" The player, who was only there to play games, twitched his eyebrows. Seeing the approval document formats listed by Yusi Lang, he felt a terrible feeling as if painful memories were revived. "Wait a minute, Yusi-kun, are you allowed to see these confidential documents of your family?"
She hadn't even officially passed her mentor's trial yet, nor had she chosen a faction! Although she had already decided to join the Gray Side, none of that mattered... What mattered was that she absolutely, positively, didn't want to work in the game!
Wusilang has his own opinion on this: "As the tenth generation's junior sister, you haven't joined any other organization yet. Mr. Reborn has assigned you this task of understanding the guardians, which has already shown his attitude."
Even if Chaomu hadn't joined the Vongola family yet, she would be one of them in the future...at least as an outside advisor. Otherwise, Reborn wouldn't have assigned her such a deep-rooted mission, and the Tenth Generation wouldn't have been so indulgent towards her.
"The contents of this document are not confidential, and the Tenth Generation has already agreed to it. Please join the work, Miss Asamura."
Tsunayoshi Sawada was sitting at the desk working with his head down when he noticed the little animals on the coffee table were whispering to each other, but he didn't understand what they were saying so he didn't pay much attention to them.
Chaomu looked at the mountain of documents in front of him with a pale face, and felt that he still needed to struggle.
"I can't help it—see," she said, scratching the pen with her claws, "even a raccoon can't hold a pen!"
"But you can change back." Gokudera Wolf pierced her coldly, "Unlike people like me and Yamamoto who were forced to become what they are now... you can switch back and forth freely."
These words sounded quite aggrieved, like a knife stabbing into her conscience.
The players actually have no conscience, but they have run out of excuses and the mission is not fully completed, so it is difficult to run away...
Chaomu sighed heavily and stood up: "...Okay, I'll do it."

Author's Note: Next chapter: Office Knee Pillow (?)
My procrastination is getting worse, my wrist is still a little sore, and I'm late today.) By the way, I discussed the plot with my best friend in the middle of the night and read a few skill posts. I seem to have gotten the hang of it. I'm revising the post on my way back and adding a little bit of supplement to the character design of the raccoon.
Since Changshuang Xiuwen will probably update it in the middle of the night these next two days, you can wait and see tomorrow.
