Chapter 50 Three People's Night Talk
In the end, Yokawa Rei still stayed at the Vongola headquarters.
During her break, she knocked on the door of the leader's office.
It was already past nine o'clock at night, and Tsuna, as the leader, was still processing official documents.
As soon as Yao Chuanling entered the room, she saw him with his head bowed over his desk.
The young man's amber eyes were softened by the warm light, giving him a gentle yet serious look, while his soft brown hair fell gently across his forehead, subtly outlining his features.
"Tsuna, here's your coffee."
She encountered Kyoko Sasagawa, who was overwhelmed by the Vongola's security system, and volunteered to deliver coffee to her.
It would be great if more technical personnel could join us.
She heard Kyoko make that wish.
"Ling? Thank you."
The busy Tenth Generation Boss stopped writing, took the coffee, and relaxed his brows slightly.
Yao Chuanling felt a pang of sympathy. She leaned down and reached out to smooth the worry from his brow.
"Tsuna, you've worked hard all these years."
From a clueless good-for-nothing to a capable Vongola boss, only he knows the hardships he endured along the way.
Even if it wasn't what he wanted.
He let out a soft laugh, his calloused hands grasping her wrists, forcefully yet gently guiding her hands from between her brows to her cheeks.
It was as if she was cradling his face.
"Ling, it's so good to see you again."
He keeps a photo of her from that summer festival in his drawer, and he takes it out to look at it every year.
Sawada Tsunayoshi wasn't afraid of waiting; he was only worried that she wasn't doing well in the other world.
Yao Chuanling then gently touched his forehead.
Those bright green eyes, as always, were filled with affection and trust.
"It seems I've come at an inopportune time."
The world's number one assassin entered silently and closed the door.
Reborn watched this scene with great interest.
Tsuna, he ran away.
"Reborn, what brings you here?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi was still a little intimidated by his teacher's long-lost smile.
He sighed with regret.
The attempt to sneak out failed, and they were discovered.
Reborn said, "I've come to find you two."
Both of them were hiding something from them. He knew they were together because he couldn't find Yao Chuanling in the room.
The two troublemakers exchanged a glance and then sat up straight.
Sawada Tsunayoshi sat in his office chair, while Yokawa Rei and Reborn sat facing each other on the sofa, forming a triangular standoff.
"Which of you two will speak first?"
The teacher, exuding a certain air of authority, slightly bent his index finger and tapped the table.
The ostrich spirit looked at the sky and the ground, but never at the face of the person opposite it.
Tsuna, the warrior, stepped forward: "Let me speak first. I plan to destroy the Vongola Rings, fake my death in three days, and then use the Ten-Year Bazooka to bring 'us' from ten years ago here."
The Vongola's Ooku spoke calmly about what could be described as a crazy plan.
They gambled their hopes on the version of themselves that had the greatest potential ten years ago.
"No, I won't allow it!"
Yao Chuanling didn't care that she was the next one to receive education, and she stood up abruptly.
The risks of faking death in enemy territory are immense; even if successful, how old were they ten years ago?
Lambo was only five years old.
She declared aggressively, "I'm going to take care of that Whitey Jesso."
What a despicable villain!
Reborn, now transformed into a long cane, pressed her back to her original position and calmly took a sip of coffee.
"It's time to activate the ring's sealed power, Spirit. We need your help with this."
Awaken the soul of the first generation within the Vongola Rings and undergo the unsealing trial.
Their Arcobaleno, Oozora, can also communicate with the previous generation, but she has disappeared and her fate is unknown.
Reborn knew that elves could communicate with the Seven Threes, so leaving this matter to her wouldn't be a problem.
"Okay, okay."
Seeing that Reborn had a solution, she obediently sat down.
She was happy to be able to help and hoped to get away with it.
So the long cane tapped her head again.
"Stop playing dumb, it's your turn."
Here comes Reborn, the mind reader.
Yao Chuanling sat upright, her hands obediently placed on her lap.
The persistent elf tried to negotiate: "Then you can't be angry when I tell you."
Because of this, she received a lecture from Izanagi when she returned to Yomotsu Hirasaka.
Although her mother didn't scold her, her tears alone were enough to make her feel bad.
Teacher Seimei also gave her a sarcastic remark.
It happened just two days ago, and she remembers it vividly.
"Stop talking nonsense."
Reborn had little patience and said coldly.
Tsuna didn't come to her rescue this time, as he also wanted to know what had happened.
The tenth generation enjoys his coffee with great satisfaction.
He saw the elf droop and heard her whisper.
“I revived a person with the Fountain of Life, but it wasn’t enough, so I filled it with my own life force.”
Crack—
Sawada Tsunayoshi felt the handle of the coffee cup break, he let go, and the white porcelain turned into pieces.
"oh."
Reborn started cleaning the gun.
He was deeply moved: "What a selfless and altruistic person!"
It almost moved him to tears.
She didn't take the instructions she was given back then to heart at all.
"You promised you wouldn't get angry."
Yao Chuanling lowered his head and nodded obsequiously.
They knew each other too well, which was why she didn't dare tell them.
"continue."
Reborn knew her too well. She wouldn't lie or deceive people, but she would hide things from them and not want them to know.
"After waking up, I wasn't fully recovered, so I slept a lot. But my mom helped me recover completely!"
Sleeping is the best way for her to repair her body and also a way for her to enhance her spiritual power.
Adult spirits shouldn't be long sleepers. Izanami, though stubborn, was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see her child suffer, so she gathered a bunch of rare and precious herbs to feed her, barely managing to heal her body.
Yao Chuanling clasped her hands together, her lowered eyelashes secretly lifting to observe their expressions.
"Please, please, I'm fine."
It can eat and sleep well, jump and leap around, it's great.
She admitted that she acted impulsively at the time, but she has the ability to save people, and she will definitely do so.
Even though she paid the price for it, she never regretted it.
Reibao En laughed, and he even started calling her by her full name: "Yaochuan Ling".
He stood up; the adult man was dressed in a suit and tie, tall and imposing, and quite intimidating.
“We don’t need you to give your life for us. More people will die in the future, but you must live well. Stop being so willful.”
Many people have already died.
For example, Arcobaleno.
Will he be next?
The curse on him gradually dissipated, but the aftereffects meant that the non-73 rays still affected him.
It was like a dying message. Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't know what was going through his teacher's mind when he said those words.
He remained silent, stiffly wiping away the tear from the corner of her eye.
He was angry, but he couldn't bring himself to blame her. In this respect, the two were remarkably similar.
"That's my thought too."
Finally, he said softly.
Just like when he scolded Gokudera Hayato back then, they would still have snowball fights together, watch fireworks together, and laugh together.
Reborn turned his face away, tugged at the curls at his temples, and hid part of his expression behind the brim of his hat.
Her cold tone softened slightly: "I was too harsh."
Thinking about the dangers facing Vongola, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Anyone could die in this war, including him.
This emotion grew and spread like spring grass after he learned of Yao Chuanling's great achievements and lack of remorse, and he said harsh words to her that he had never spoken before.
He was afraid.
He is not omnipotent.
Making a lady cry is not the act of a gentleman.
“Everyone you know talks about me.” Yao Chuanling looked up with a pitiful expression. “That time with the Fountain of Life, it won’t happen again.”
She didn't cry because she was scolded; she cried because she sensed the sadness in Reborn's words and thought about the possibility of that situation.
The elf's eyes can speak.
Reborn read the unspoken words in her eyes.
"You must have had a long journey."
His heart softened suddenly, and he couldn't bring himself to say anything to blame him.
They had all heard Yokawa Rei recount her experiences over the past few years. She glossed over her wanderings when she first arrived in Yokohama, being targeted by thugs, the Dragon Head War, fighting with Rimbaud and Verlaine, and being schemed against by Mori Ōgai.
She told her story like an adventurer's tale, but Reborn dug deeper and began to unearth a gun.
When have their beloved children ever suffered such injustice?
In Namimori, let alone large-scale wars, even being surrounded would never happen to her.
Those who deliberately approached him were warned by him and Hibari Kyoya.
In front of the students, he brushed aside the stray hairs at Yao Chuanling's temples, and his slightly cool lips landed on the corner of her eye.
It has nothing to do with romance, it only concerns her.
Sawada Tsunayoshi: ∑(O_O；)
So, it turns out, Reborn also...
The teacher hid it so well that he never noticed.
wrong!
It leaked!
"Um," Sawada Tsunayoshi smiled, subtly creating some distance between them, "was dinner satisfactory?"
The chef at the Vongola headquarters is a local. According to the menu, tonight's dinner is lasagna and Caprijosa pizza, and dessert is almond cookies.
He was originally worried that Yokawa Rei wouldn't be used to Italian food, so he planned to borrow Hibari Kyoya's chef, but to his surprise, the other party enjoyed the food quite a bit.
This is not a perfect reason.
Reborn gave a half-smile, but ultimately yielded to the student's wishes and retreated to a safe distance.
There's no need to rush.
"It's delicious!"
The mention of food instantly drew Yao Chuanling's attention, and she asked expectantly, "What are we having for lunch tomorrow?"
Italian cuisine is renowned on the world's culinary lists, and given the opportunity to try authentic Italian food, she naturally hopes to do so as much as possible.
Sawada Tsunayoshi tried hard to recall tomorrow's menu, but failed to do so.
The Tenth Vongola boss rarely showed the clumsiness he had during middle school.
When the head chef submitted this week's menu last week, he glanced at it briefly and made the decision without paying any attention to the details.
The leader had too many things to attend to, so the meals seemed insignificant.
"Lunch on Wednesday was beef stew in red wine and vegetable soup, and dessert was Sicilian cheese rolls and pistachio gelato."
Reborn cast a mocking glance at Sawada Tsunayoshi.
—Even if I gave you a chance, you wouldn't be able to use it.
Sawada Tsunayoshi silently shut up.
"Can I have two ice creams?"
The elf's stomach was a bottomless pit; she could only eat two bites of that little round ice cream.
“Of course,” Reborn readily agreed. “You can have as many as you want.”
It's possible to fulfill this small wish.
She pressed her advantage: "Then you are not allowed to tell anyone about what happened tonight."
If those weather disasters find out...

Sawada Tsunayoshi, whose unfulfilled plan also had this in mind, turned their gazes to Reborn.
Yao Chuanling stepped forward, tugged at the sleeve of the man's black suit, and shook it slightly.
"The most, most, most, most, most beloved Reborn will surely agree, right?"
She was the only one who dared to act cute with Reborn.
As a teenager, Sawada Tsunayoshi once tried to skip training by imitating her. Before he could even finish speaking, he was almost kicked into the Sanzu River by Reborn. Only then did he belatedly realize that it was a privilege that the teacher had given her alone.
What if I disagree?
Sawada Tsunayoshi could see clearly that the man was already inclined to agree, but he deliberately teased her.
He didn't even pull up his sleeves, letting her shake him back and forth.
Without a second thought, Yao Chuan Ling said sweetly, "Then you are the very, very, very best Reborn."
The only difference is the absence of the word "most".
Elves are good at being affectionate and coaxing people.
Who was it that was so sweetly flattered?
Sawada Tsunayoshi thought with a hint of bitterness: Anyway, it wasn't him.
A slight smile played on someone's lips as they said in an innocent yet helpless tone, "Oh dear, since you've put it that way, there's nothing I can do about it."
A baby's voice has a touch of cuteness, while an adult man's voice has a more tender and alluring quality.
"It's time to go back to sleep now."
