Chapter 94: Forced Complicity My Junior Sister’s Character Can’t Be That Bad…
Until the other party left, Sawada Tsunayoshi still didn't know what Gokudera Hayato wanted to express by his hesitant look.
He could only gaze in bewilderment at his guardian's back as he hurried away, his ears flushed red. He fell into deep thought: It's just a pet, what's so troubling about this, Yusi-kun? Is Chaomu thinking of raising a dangerous animal? Like a wolf or a lion...
It's not impossible to raise one, right? There's plenty of room in the castle. Many mafia members secretly keep ferocious wild animals, and with the box weapons... XANXUS also lets Besta roam freely in Valia headquarters. If you really want to raise this type of animal, you might consider this.
Just when Tsunayoshi Sawada was still thinking about his junior sister raising a pet, there was a knock on his office door.
After working for a long time, the leader of the Vongola has become very familiar with the knocking sounds of family members: Ryohei knocks at a faster pace, Gokudera is more cautious, Rambo and Yamamoto are relatively casual, and ordinary staff often knock twice in a polite manner when reporting... As for Reborn, he basically doesn't knock at all.
But the knocking sound at this moment was different from the sound that Tsunayoshi Sawada was used to hearing - the person who came was very strong, and the thick wooden door was knocked loudly.
"...Please come in?" He hesitated for half a second, and a name popped up in his mind, "Junior Sister?"
The oak door was pushed open a crack, and a strand of hair peeked out from the crack, followed by a tilted head. Although he had clearly entered through the main door and had received the owner's permission before entering, Chaomu still habitually squeezed through the crack and closed the door behind him.
No matter how Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at it, he felt a subtle sense of déjà vu about this scene, as if she had secretly opened a door or window like this before...
...No, why would he feel that way? Junior Sister should just be shy and reserved. After all, it's weird to unreasonably suspect her of breaking and entering...
Although she felt her senior brother was intuitive, Chaomu had no idea how accurate his family's intuition could be. She simply carefully concealed her malicious intentions, believing she had acted flawlessly.
There was still a mission to play a prank on her senior brother that she hadn't completed, and she planned to report it to Reborn tonight. Although she had actually completed an unplanned prank when her senior brother discovered that Gokudera and Yamamoto had turned into animals, it still felt a bit unsatisfactory to end the mission like this.
"Good evening, Senior Brother. I bought some local specialties." Thinking of his evil little plan, Chaomu carried a small bag and skillfully moved a chair to sit at the table, showing a particularly sunny smile that he had copied from Yamamoto-kun. "Thank you, Senior Brother, for asking Gokudera-kun to take me out to play."
The fact that a man like Hayato Gokudera, who always talked about the Tenth Generation and only cared about work, would honestly serve as a tour guide for a day must be due to Sawada Tsunayoshi's mission. During her time at the Vongola, her senior had been incredibly thoughtful and considerate of the players in every way.
At this time, someone will ask: Brother is such a good person, but players still want to play pranks on him. Doesn’t his conscience hurt?
Chaomu's conscience wavered for two seconds, but he quickly became confident again: It's not a big problem, it's all for the purpose of completing the task, the players have no conscience.
The girl's usually expressionless face now smiled as brightly as the sun. Even without super intuition, Sawada Tsunayoshi could feel that something was wrong - not to mention that he actually had super intuition. The intuitive alarm was beeping in his head.
His eyebrows twitched slightly, and he carefully took the paper bag she handed him. "No need to thank me specifically. This is your first time in Italy, and I should have gone with you. But I was too busy with work today and couldn't leave right away, so I asked Hayato to do it for me... Did you have a good time today, Junior Sister? What did you buy?"
"It was quite fun. I ate a lot of delicious food and even caught some fish." Chaomu answered with the sentence structure of an elementary school student's spring outing diary, his golden eyes observing his hand holding the paper bag, which he didn't open immediately. "The local specialties I bought were also recommended by Mukudera-kun. He said that my senior brother would like them."
The bag felt heavy, and there was a box inside. Hearing that it was Mukudera's recommendation, Sawada Tsunayoshi's subtle feeling of unease dissipated considerably.
The girl in front of him was honest and expectant, and it was obvious that she was not lying. The feeling just now might just be his illusion.
Besides, even if it was a prank, the junior sister's previous pranks were all quite measured, so even if she played it, it shouldn't be too extreme... Children are playful, so he'd better not be too nervous.
"Then I'd like to thank you in advance, Junior Sister." The brown-haired young man quickly convinced himself and shook the paper bag. "Can you open it now? I also want to know what Hayato thinks I might like."
"Of course." Asami wouldn't mind that. "I think it's pretty cool. I bought one myself—Yamamoto-kun also said it's very handsome."
She hadn't done anything fancy with the gift; it was truly a gift. Sawada Tsunayoshi patiently unwrapped the box and was startled when he saw the contents. "Is this... a Gundam...?"
He had clearly never expected to receive such a gift, and even his warm eyes held a hint of surprise. Chaomu held his chin and nodded, "Mukudera-kun said you'd like it."
This model, which looks about 20 to 30 centimeters tall, looks very delicate, and its blue and white paint scheme is handsome and cool.
The brown-haired young man coughed: "It's not that I don't like it..."
It would be a complete lie to say that he didn't like it - after all, there was a period of time in his childhood and even adolescence when Tsunayoshi Sawada was obsessed with similar comics and animations. He even imagined that when he grew up, he would become a giant robot taller than a building.
He just didn't expect to receive this gift... And what kind of Italian specialty is this? Besides, he is Japanese, and giving a Japanese person an Italian specialty Gundam model... It always feels weird.
Chaomu noticed the change in his expression and blinked: "Brother, are you ashamed?"
She was always a little too straightforward. Sawada Tsunayoshi felt even more embarrassed by what she said. He pressed his forehead helplessly: "A little bit... Even if you noticed it, don't point it out so bluntly... At least give me a little face..."
Although it was embarrassing enough for a junior sister who had just come of age to find out that as a mature adult, his eyes lit up when he saw the Gundam, if Reborn was there, he would probably laugh at his lack of ambition.
...Thinking this way suddenly made him feel even more ashamed. He seemed to have already appeared in some social occasion. Reborn was patting his junior sister on the shoulder and telling her not to imitate him, otherwise she would still be a homebody at the age of 25 or 26...
"That's nothing." Chaomu, clearly understanding his point, consoled him, "It's normal to like Gundam. Even a mafia boss can be a two-dimensional character. If someone says something like, 'Look at that uncle who turned 25 and still celebrated his birthday alone, grinning at a robot,' you can just shoot him."
The young and dignified Tenth Generation of the Vongola was at a loss for words: "Even the Mafia wouldn't shoot over something like this... Junior Sister, what misunderstanding do you have about me?"
And although he thought about it, no one actually dared to say such nonsense in front of him... But why did it seem that Junior Sister was quite skilled at pre-setting such a scenario? Could she also be...
"Oh, no? That's a shame." Chaomu said with a look of regret, "If it were me, I would definitely shoot."
It would be better if she had a machine gun, so that she could kill all the kids who sneaked into her room and commented on her figurines, along with the irresponsible parents.
"Don't say such things with such regret on your face—Junior Sister, your idea is too dangerous!"
It had been a while since Tsunayoshi Sawada, now the leader, had complained so much, but after meeting his junior sister, his complaints seemed to have started to kick back in. He held the robot in his arms, his lips curled up helplessly: "I'm the mafia, so why are your comments even worse than mine?"
"That means Senior Brother isn't cut out to be a gangster... Or maybe he's the kind of gangster you see in shonen manga who has to follow the bottom line in order to pass the review. Thinking about it that way makes sense."
"Indeed, after all, if there were a plot like that, a manga for all ages wouldn't be easy to pass review... No, even if it wasn't for children, you can't do that, right?"
This kind of nonsense was endless. Sawada Tsunayoshi laughed as he spoke, and his eyes met the girl's. The short-haired girl looked serious and asked earnestly, "So, do you like this, brother?"
"...I like it very much." The brown-haired young man put his fist to his lips to hide his slightly overly cheerful smile, "I will thank Hayato separately later...I am also very grateful to my junior sister for giving me the opportunity to receive such a gift."
Even so, his good mood still overflowed from his eyes.
Are there any bad people in the anime? Keeping pets is normal. Hayato must be a little overly nervous. His junior sister looks like a well-behaved and cute child...
"Since you like Gundam so much, I still have a box here that hasn't been assembled yet." His cute and obedient junior sister blinked her eyes and took out a box of model fragments from somewhere, "Can I go to your bedroom with you to put it together?"
"Of course... no."
Sawada Tsunayoshi immediately withdrew his smile and looked at her with a gloomy gaze: "Girls are not allowed to say such weird things - not even if it's to rummage through the trash can."
Damn it, I was rejected after all.
Chaomu narrowed his eyes dangerously, but quickly calmed down.
Since her senior brother didn't intend to let her rummage through the trash can, then don't blame her for being ruthless for the sake of the mission -
"What are you talking about, brother? Can't I just visit your bedroom?" She glanced at the system time calmly, her tone innocent, "I haven't been able to visit your bedroom in all these days since I came to Vongola. The trash can in your room must be made of pure gold..."
There were about two minutes left before the deadline agreed upon with Reborn to hand in the task, so it was almost time for her to start finishing up.
"Who would visit someone else's bedroom? It's not a tourist attraction." Sawada Tsunayoshi complained helplessly, "And you, Junior Sister, didn't hide it at all in the end. You just came here for the trash can, didn't you? I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I don't have such a fancy trash can in my bedroom..."
"If you don't want to show me, then don't show me. Brother, you're so stingy." The young girl said dejectedly, "I was thinking that if you let me touch it, I would secretly tell you how to make an apple that can turn people into small animals."
Her words were a bit too bad. The veins on Sawada Tsunayoshi's forehead throbbed: "...Don't skip the most important thing to touch!"
But the second half of her topic about animal apples really aroused his curiosity. He hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't suppress his curiosity: "So, Junior Sister, how did you do it..."
"This is a secret, but you can tell it to me, brother." Chaomu hooked his finger at him, "Brother, come closer and listen. This is known only to heaven and earth, you and me—"
The heavy oak door was silently pushed open a crack, and the first killer sneaked into the room with familiarity, only to see two students whispering to each other.
The short-haired girl, who looked like she was about to say something, spoke in a voice loud enough for the whole world to hear. "So, you're interested too, huh? Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll have you make apples and feed them to Mr. Reborn. What animal do you think Mr. R will turn into? A cat? A dog? A wolf? A snake?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi almost instinctively continued: "It's probably a snake..."
……wrong.
At a sudden moment, his super instinct screamed and called the police. He raised his head suddenly and saw that the tutor at the center of the conversation had stood beside the girl without knowing when, looking down at her.
"Brother, do you think it's a snake? I think it could also be a lizard." Chaomu had his back to Reborn and discovered it a few seconds later than him. Before he could finish his words, he said, "But it's the same. I haven't observed this type of animal up close. It seems that they all have two..."
There is murderous intent.
Seeing Sawada Tsunayoshi's gaze as if he had seen a ghost, she suddenly stopped talking and recalled that her original purpose was just to plot against her senior brother: Oh no, she couldn't control herself when she talked about animal sculptures and accidentally said something too much.
"Are you going to continue?" Her mentor stood behind her kindly, tapping her shoulder with his gun. "Lizards and snakes...what's wrong?"
