After several major demolitions of Namiseki Junior High School, Tsunayoshi Sawada finally secured the inheritance rights, at least that's what Tsunayoshi Sawada told him.

Hinata Hajime would occasionally pass by the gate of Namimori Junior High School. Because it was summer vacation, there was no one in the school. But every time he passed by Hinata Hajime during those days, he would find that things in the school had changed a little. Hinata Hajime was amazed by this, whether it was that the school was demolished overnight without being noticed, or that the school was restored overnight without being noticed...

"I just hope that this will never happen again." Sawada Tsunayoshi pressed his temples, "If it happens again, I really won't be able to bear it."

"Didn't it work out well? I've become stronger too." Hinata Hajime comforted him, "It's not as easy as you think to become the leader."

"I didn't want to be a leader at first." Sawada Tsunayoshi finally slumped down in his chair. "It feels like a dream. Whether it's having so many friends or becoming a mafia leader, does Hinata-san have experience in being a leader?"

Hinata Hajime was silent for a moment, then he spoke, "What kind of leader are you talking about?"

He replaced Nanami as the central pillar of the 77th term. Although he is not the leader, he is still a person who can make decisions and bear the blame of a desperate and remnant boss. Moreover, he has more ideas about the profession of the mastermind, although it was not his idea, but Kamizuru's.

"It's not that big of a deal at the moment. All I'm thinking about right now is protecting my companions."

Hinata Sou nodded, "Then you have to confirm one thing first."

"Huh?"

"They may not need your protection in many cases. On the contrary, they are also people who can protect you." Hinata Hajime handed the pen in his hand to Sawada Tsunayoshi, "Do you remember that time you said that I and Iru are the outer shell and inner core of the fountain pen? You and them have the same relationship."

Tsunayoshi Sawada took the pen in confusion.

"You are the core and ink that determine the words you write, and they are the shell that protects you and allows you to write the words smoothly."

"So, don't doubt their power easily."

Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at the pen in his hand, and after a moment he sighed, "But even so, I want to protect everyone, I want everyone to be fine. Risking life in a battle is too scary. No matter how conscious I am, I still get nervous when I think that everyone might get hurt and die."

"This is normal. It shows that you have a good relationship." Hinata Hajime said with a smile: "It's a good thing."

Looking at Hinata Hajime's gentle smile, Sawada Tsunayoshi felt warm in his heart. He relaxed his brows and showed a youthful smile as if he was guided. He nodded vigorously, "Yes, it's a good thing!"

Sawada Tsunayoshi wanted to say something more. He had been holding it in for too long. He wanted to talk to Hinata Sou about his father and ask him how he should get along with his father. He still had knots in his heart. Regardless of whether Sawada Iemitsu had his own reasons, it was a fact that he abandoned him and Nana's mother for so many years.

Nana's mother took care of everything. When she was little, she was called a child without a father. All these things really happened. How can she just treat them as if they didn't exist?

Just when Sawada Tsunayoshi was about to speak, his cell phone rang. He opened the phone and saw that the person calling was Futa.

"Fuuta?" Sawada Tsunayoshi quickly answered the phone.

In his family, Futa and Ippei are both well-behaved children, and their mother likes them very much. Since Futa called him, he explained that something had happened that they, the children, could not handle.

"Brother Tsunayoshi, Rambo is missing." Feng Tai's voice was filled with anxiety. "It seems he ran away from home again, and we can't find him."

"It's Rambo again." Sawada Tsunayoshi sighed.

To be honest, Tsunayoshi Sawada has absolutely no idea about Rambo.

After all, Rambo is a little boy, only five years old this year. The incident with Grandma Kawada only made him depressed for a while, and he soon returned to his heartless self. Although he would occasionally call Grandma Kawada's name in his dreams, he was still willful.

Before the Ring War, Rambo ran away from home once, and was almost caught by Barian's Thunder Guard. It was also revealed that Sawada Iemitsu was actually the leader of the Vongola outer consultants.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Sawada Tsunayoshi and Hinata Hajime apologized, then turned and ran out of the store. "Where are you now?"

Hinata Sou sighed as he watched Sawada Tsunayoshi leave.

[He seems to be acting more and more like a leader.]

[Adversity can sharpen a person. He has lived in adversity since childhood, but his character has not changed into a terrible one, which shows that his mind is strong enough.]

Hinata Hajime smiled, he stood up and stretched, looking at the bright sunshine outside, [Go out for a walk? I seem to be stuck at home lately. ]

【It’s up to you, just remember to bring an umbrella. 】

Hinata Hajime blinked his eyes, looked at the scorching sun outside, and asked doubtfully, "Should I bring an umbrella?"

【umbrella.】

【Will it really rain? 】

【Can.】

Hinata Hajime found an umbrella from the side and then closed the shop door. Perhaps because the weather was too hot, everyone was too lazy to come out even if they had troubles, and the sales of Hinata Hajime's shop experienced an epic drop. Of course, Hinata Hajime did not think this was a bad thing.

When he doesn't have any commissions, he can just hang out outside. Because of the store, everyone around him knows him and he has become everyone's acquaintance, so he can buy vegetables at a cheaper price.

Nagito Komaeda was quite confused about his popularity and tried to investigate and analyze it, but of course ended in failure. Then he began to say that in the New World Program, everyone quickly became familiar with Hinata Hajime, both boys and girls, and even a fraudster disguised as a nobleman would ask Hinata Hajime to be his assistant.

So Nagito Komaeda made a conclusion: Hinata Hajime must be the controllable protagonist of the strategy game.

"But those strategy games are played by girls, so most of them are women, right?" Hinata Hajime was writing something down at the time, and when he heard Komaeda Nagito come to this conclusion, he just said this casually.

Then Nagito Komaeda looked him up and down, "Hinata-kun, your long hair makes it easy to confuse your gender if you look at it from behind."

"Huh?" Hinata Hajime was stunned for a moment.

"There is a strategy game that can be divided into male and female, but there is a slight difference in the modeling. Of course, Miss Nanami, a super high school level gamer, knows more about the game knowledge than I do." Nagito Komaeda touched his chin, "You are probably this type."

"...After all, you still have something to say about my hair."

"So can you cut it off, Hinata-kun?"

"no."

Nagito Komaeda looked at Hinata Hajime and sighed, as if he was disappointed with Hinata Hajime.

"So, why do you insist on me cutting it off?" Hinata Hajime looked at Komaeda Nagito, "What on earth are you thinking? You've been acting weird ever since your hair started growing."

"Haha, is that so? Have I caused trouble to Hinata-kun?" Komaeda Nagito said with a smile, "It's okay, if you want to stay, then stay. I won't say anything more."

Then Nagito Komaeda proposed the idea of ​​going out for a walk. He said that he met a nice person on the Internet, who had strange ideas and a smart brain, and sometimes he could think the same as him. This time he planned to meet him, although the boy seemed to be a third-year junior high school student.

"Really? Aren't the other party's parents worried?" Hinata Hajime was a little worried. "But think about it, the person who can think of going with your family is probably not normal. The third year of junior high school, isn't that similar to your simulated age in the New World program?"

"Yes." Nagito Komaeda said with a smile: "His name is Bailan, Bailan Jesso, and it seems that he is in Italy."

Hinata Hajime looked at him subtly, "So you're planning to fly to Italy?"

"Of course." Nagito Komaeda showed his flight ticket to Hyuga Hajime, "We'll be leaving soon."

Knowing that he couldn't stop Komaeda Nagito, Hinata Hajime could only keep telling him some worried words, such as never causing trouble, and definitely not bringing this new friend to cause trouble, and if someone heard that you deliberately led this friend to do something bad, you would be finished.

Komaeda Nagito responded casually twice, and it was unclear whether anyone heard him or not.

In this way, Nagito Komaeda was sent to the airport. When he was about to get on the plane, Nagito Komaeda turned his head and looked at Hinata Hajime, with a little worry in his light-colored eyes.

"Hinata-kun."

"Hmm?" Hinata Hajime looked at him. At that time, he didn't tie his hair up. His long black hair hung down behind him. Only his green eyes were full of gentleness.

Nagito Komaeda smiled and said, "I don't really want to see Kamiya-kun's symbol appear on you, because it always makes me feel that the person standing in front of me is not Hinata-kun, but Kamiya-kun."

"Why do you have to differentiate between the two of us? We are actually one person." Hinata Hajime said.

"Maybe that's not entirely true." Komaeda Nagito shook his head. "You two are one person, but there is always a relationship of priority."

The long black hair hanging down and fixed on Hinata Hajime's body always gave Komaeda Nagito a very subtle feeling.

It's like this person has always been Kamizuru Izuru, and it was just that Hinata Hajime was found at a certain moment. However, it still belongs to Kamizuru Izuru, everything, whether it is the body or the world, and the reason why Hinata Hajime exists is because everyone misses him.

It seemed like it was Kamizuru Izuru and everyone who grabbed him and kept him there.

"Komaeda?" Hinata Hajime looked at Komaeda Nagito in confusion.

"It's okay." Komaeda Nagito smiled, waved to Hinata Sou, turned around and walked into the airport.

I hope the trip goes smoothly and there won’t be any plane crashes.

…

Less than half an hour after Hinata Hajime went out, the sky turned overcast and rain began to fall. Hinata Hajime hurriedly opened his umbrella to avoid being soaked like everyone else. He felt that going out today was a bad thing and he prepared to go back immediately.

It's better to be inside the store than outside in the rain.

But just as Hinata Hajime turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly heard Sawada Tsunayoshi's voice in the rain.

"Rambo! Don't do that!"

Rambo's crying and Sawada Tsunayoshi's helpless voice blended in the rain. It was not very clear, but it seemed not very good. It was raining so heavily, and Sawada Tsunayoshi did not bring an umbrella when he went out. He must be soaked now.

Hinata Hajime paused, as he was still worried, so he walked into the alley holding an umbrella.

"Tsunayoshi?" Hinata Hajime called out Sawada's name.

"Hey? Is there anyone here? Mr. Hinata, don't come in!"

As soon as Hinata Hajime stepped into the alley, he was faced with a shell. With a bang, pink smoke came out. Hinata Hajime covered his mouth and nose and frowned hard. He wiped away the pink smoke in front of him with his hand and stepped out. The next moment he was stunned.

The umbrella in his hand was still dripping, but he was standing in a strange, deserted space.

People on both sides stared at him. After seeing his appearance, the one wearing a black suit showed a surprised expression. Hinata Hajime could barely recognize the person on this side by his appearance. He seemed to be the grown-up Tsunayoshi and others. Hinata Hajime did not recognize the person on the other side.

But... this is not the point. The point is the girl in the front.

The girl was kneeling on the ground, her head lowered, holding a book in her arms. Behind her, a dark shadow was writing something.

"My story, my story..." the girl kept murmuring, "This is my story, no one can take it away from me!"

A crazy breath of despair was thrown out directly, and the umbrella in Hinata Hajime's hand fell down.

Hinata Hajime wanted to rush over, but the next moment he found himself back in the alley where he came from.

The rain poured all over him, and the umbrella in his hand remained in ten years later. Hinata Hajime quickly realized that he was hit by Rambo's bazooka from ten years later and briefly returned to ten years later. Those people should indeed be Sawada Tsuna and the others.

However, it was obvious that the girl had been parasitized by fragments of despair, and the despair had even eroded her deeply.

In other words: If we don't take any action, the world may be destroyed in despair.

"Tsunayoshi!" Hinata Hajime grabbed Sawada Tsunayoshi with water all over his body, "Is there any way for me to go to ten years later?"

"Huh?" Sawada Tsunayoshi was stunned. "Mr. Hinata, do you mean that you want to stay in ten years later for a long time?"

"Yes." Hinata Sou nodded, "Something terrible happened over there, and I don't have time to wait here for ten years."

Sawada Tsunayoshi seemed to understand the importance of the matter. He nodded and said, "I will go ask Reborn. Don't worry, Mr. Hinata. There will definitely be a way."

"Besides, I actually want to know one thing."

Sawada Tsunayoshi said, "Just now, Mr. Hinata went to ten years later, right? But why didn't Mr. Hinata ten years later come out?"

“Is it a bug?”
