Chapter 59 Vongola: Wedding in a Dream
Today is a sunny and breezy day, auspicious for weddings.
Sawada Tsunayoshi still felt that none of this was real.
He's getting married; the bride is the person he's been longing for for ten years.
The wedding was held in Namimori, the place where they first met.
At the request of Yao Chuanling, the only guests invited were people they knew well.
Vongola, Varia, Cavallone, Millefiore, and the Arcobaleno.
For some reason, Sawada Tsunayoshi was a little worried, with a feeling that the wedding wouldn't go smoothly.
The Varia group alone was enough to give him trouble.
It is said that XANXUS was so angry after receiving the invitation that he smashed a bottle of wine on the spot; Bell and Fran also stated that they would not attend the wedding.
A thought flashed through the Godfather's mind, who possessed extraordinary intuition: Could it be... someone is trying to steal the bride?
If he knew, he would guess XANXUS as the first one.
But the Storm Guardian and the Rain Guardian intercepted Varia's men first.
"As expected of Vongola's most loyal right-hand man, he's even willing to give up his beloved. I could never be so generous and selfless."
Fran retorted coldly.
This genius illusionist is known for his sharp tongue, and now he's unleashing his full power.
"Hehehe, be smart and make way, the prince is taking the princess home."
Bell raised his hands, his fingers clasped with throwing knives.
Princesses and princes are a match made in heaven; that's how stories are always written.
Hayato Gokudera frowned, a fierce internal struggle raging within him.
The most agonizing part of this wedding was for him. If it were anyone else, he might have stepped forward to fight for it, but it was Sawada Tsunayoshi, the leader he swore to serve to the death.
"You mustn't cause any trouble today."
Yamamoto Takeshi noticed his struggle, gently patted the shoulder of the Storm Guardian, and stared sharply at the silent XANXUS.
He had to be wary of when this dormant volcano might erupt.
"That was her choice."
Yokawa Rei voluntarily and proactively chose Sawada Tsunayoshi; they were both losers.
Despite his disappointment, he only wished for her happiness.
Therefore, Takeshi Yamamoto would not allow anyone to disrupt her wedding.
XANXUS frowned and scoffed, "I will prove her choice wrong."
Peace has lasted too long, and some people have forgotten that he is the Varian leader, a fearsome figure in the underworld, and the true Mafia.
Plunder is a gene ingrained in the blood of the mafia.
"I've been in a bad mood lately, and I happen to need someone to practice on. Would you like to have a match with us?"
Squalo raised his sword, his movements revealing a hint of frustration.
These past few days he has suffered undeserved misfortune, having countless wine glasses smashed by XANXUS, and also having to keep Bell from using his subordinates as targets, while enduring Fran's increasingly frequent venomous remarks.
Squalo: Bad luck.
In this environment, his mood was naturally like a stormy day.
Yamamoto Takeshi gripped the hilt of his sword: "Coincidentally, so are we."
Upon hearing this news, how many people besides those directly involved were truly happy?
Among the guardians, only Lambo and Ryohei could genuinely offer their blessings.
But giving way is out of the question; the road is closed until the groom has received the bride.
The only option left is to fight.
The two swordsmen drew their swords and faced each other with perfect understanding.
"No need to call anymore, the person isn't there."
In the tense moment, Mamon calmly closed the tissue and interrupted.
According to the inscription, the bride was not in the bridal chamber, but her exact location was obscured by some force, and he could not see it.
Mammon doesn't even need to think about anyone who can stop his spells.
A similar situation occurred during the Lord of the Rings.
He glanced at the man's apprentice and, taking advantage of the situation, demanded, "You have to pay to know who it is."
He didn't know the location, but he knew who was behind it all.
The rest are priced differently.
Mamon hadn't originally planned to attend the wedding because he didn't want to give a monetary gift, but the eldest brother said he was there to "steal" the bride and didn't need to pay, so he could accept it.
Ideally, I could even make some money back.
Fran noticed Mammon's gaze and understood.
Arkebareno is incredibly audacious to try and negotiate with the boss at this point.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was not on him, Fran slipped away quietly.
Besides Valia, he also collaborated with the pineapple-headed master.
Meanwhile, Sawada Tsunayoshi is on his way to pick up his bride.
"Today I'm the older brother, and even if we're from the same sect, getting past me won't be easy."
The first challenge is Dino.
The leader of Cavallone was somewhat melancholy.
Like Tetsuya Kusakabe, he had high hopes for his disciple Kyoya Hibari, but in the end, it was his junior who succeeded.
A mix of joy and sorrow.
"Senior brother, I have confidence."
Sawada Tsunayoshi was pleased to hear Dino's words.
This shows that he truly treats Yokawa Rei like a younger sister; Sawada Tsunayoshi is happy when he treats her well.
"It's been a long time since I've seen my junior brother. This is a good opportunity to have a friendly spar."
Dino and Sawada Tsunayoshi have known each other for many years and have watched each other grow up. Dino's character, ability, and personality are all impeccable, but he just can't bear to see his sister get married.
Sawada Tsunayoshi took off his suit jacket and carefully handed it to Lambo.
This is the coat the bride chose; he can't tolerate any mistakes.
"Happy marriage, Tsuna."
In such an occasion, the groom couldn't be kept away for too long, so Dino left with regret.
He felt at ease with Tsuna. Aside from being busy, he was an impeccable husband.
Those who love her will naturally balance work and marriage.
"Mr. Kusakabe."
Sawada Tsunayoshi's expression remained unchanged.
Kusakabe Tetsuya has known Youkawa Rei longer than he has, and has always regarded her as a younger sister, so her presence here is not surprising at all.
"Sawada-kun."
Tetsuya Kusakabe, still sporting his pompadour, nodded politely in response and shook the list he had compiled in his hand.
He got straight to the point: "What's Xiaoling's favorite food?"
"For dessert, the most common one is mango mille-feuille, which is also served with a vanilla milkshake."
I like to sit in the middle by the window, and I'll lay the mille-feuille down and cut it in half first.
"The place you frequent most in Namimori?"
"The tree on the cliff behind the mountain, the one with the swing now."
She built the swing herself, and someone would randomly appear to push her on it.
When you're unhappy?
"A person hides away to encourage the growth of small flowers and grasses."
When she's unhappy and hides away, he can tell where she is by which side has the most lush flowers and plants.
"Hmm?" Kusakabe Tetsuya realized things weren't simple and changed to a more tricky question, "List three of her little habits."
"When doing something bad, you can't hide it and you'll try to suppress your laughter; when walking on the road, you'll step on fallen leaves; when expressing affection, you'll get close to people."
Sawada Tsunayoshi handled it with ease.
This confidence doesn't come from super intuition, but from accumulated observation over time.
Sawada Tsunayoshi was not a talkative person. Most of the time, he carefully observed Yokawa Rei's expression, actions, and tone of voice.
He kept his eyes on her.
Kusakabe Tetsuya asked several questions in succession, and he answered them all fluently.
Happy wedding.
Having run out of options, he made way.
He offered his sincere blessings.
As long as she's happy, that's all that matters, even if she's not with Mr. Gong.
Mr. Sawada understood her better than she understood herself.
After overcoming numerous obstacles, the groom finally arrived at the bridal chamber, only to freeze in place.
Where is his bride?!
"It's been stolen."
Bianchi crossed her arms and watched the fun.
Her younger brother wasn't as lucky as him; he didn't catch the bouquet at Lars and Colonello's wedding, otherwise the groom would have had to be someone else.
Let's rewind to an hour earlier.
"Kyoko, are you unhappy?"
Yao Chuanling, dressed in white gauze, sat on the edge of the bed, holding her hand with a worried expression.
Was her feeling wrong? Kyoko had felt somewhat lost ever since she learned that Kyoko was getting married.
Kyoko Sasagawa was her good friend and the first friend she made here, and Rei Yokawa didn't want to make her sad.
"I'm fine."
Kyoko Sasagawa concealed the melancholy in her eyes and forced a smile.
How could I let her worry?
I've already made up my mind to stay by her side as a friend, so why am I still sad?
Besides, she was a bridesmaid.
"Ling-chan... is it because of Lal and Colonello that you want to get married?"
She finally couldn't resist asking the question that had been bothering her for so long.
She remembered Yao Chuanling's expression when she invited them to her wedding a few months ago.
Curiosity, joy, and excitement.
Was it the seed that was planted at that time?
Bianchi, who was also a bridesmaid, listened to their conversation from the side.
“That’s how it is.” Yaochuan Ling nodded in agreement. “According to human custom, the next person to catch the bouquet will get married, so I went to find Tsuna.”
The person who caught the bouquet was Sawada Tsunayoshi.
Bianchi sighed inwardly; Hayato was just unlucky.
It's rare that she has this kind of idea.
"So that's how it is."
Chrome walked in and casually placed a white rose hairpin in her hair next to her veil.
She heard everything that was said just now.
"Teacher, may I speak with you alone for a few minutes?"
Miss Mist Guardian's eyes flickered slightly as her gaze swept over the other people in the room without leaving a trace.
It was her first time doing something like this, and she was a little flustered.
Sasakawa Kyoko, Aoi Yoki, Miura Haru, Ippei.
Kurokawa Hana and Lal are married and not in the bridesmaids' group, but they should be on their way now.
Yao Chuanling didn't think too much about it and readily agreed, "Okay."
Judging from her student's expression, it seemed there was something difficult to say. As an understanding teacher, she was happy to help her student solve their problems.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Bianchi, the confidante, was the last to leave the room. Perhaps it was a woman's intuition, but as she closed the door, she smiled and said to Chrome.
Since the groom isn't her brother, it doesn't matter who tries to steal the bride.
As long as Yaochuan Ling is happy.
If she's unhappy, even her unlovable younger brother has to step aside.
"it's beautiful."
The woman gently stroked the bride's radiant face, her voice soft as if afraid of disturbing the snow on the branches.
Aphrodite, the goddess of love, kissed her cheek, and the goddess of blessing and praise bestowed upon her a bouquet of happiness.
So beautiful, it's a pity this wedding dress isn't for him.
Yao Chuanling pressed down on her right hand, which was stroking her face, with one hand, while holding a bouquet of lilies of the valley in the other. Her jade-like eyes were clear and bright.
She gently leaned her face closer, her cherry lips parting slightly: "Hai".
Through the touch of their palms, she sensed that these slender hands were growing larger and larger, like branches sprouting from trees.
It also has the texture of leather gloves.
How did you recognize me?
The person in front of me changed shape, the blindfold fell off, revealing a pair of heterochromatic red and blue eyes.
Another Vongola Mist Guardian leaned closer, his voice low and tender.
"I can feel your presence."
The elf released her grip, stood up, stretched her legs, and straightened her heavy skirt.
It's so heavy to wear.
Rokudo Mukuro watched her movements without saying a word.
He watched her lift her skirt and look around, like a joyful bird. He watched her frown, then decisively disassemble the tulle skirt into a simple wedding dress. Finally, she reached out her hand to him, her eyes crinkling and her lips curving into a smile.
"Weren't you here to take me away?"
The bride was too clever; she knew his intentions the moment she saw through him.
Almost without hesitation, Rokudo Mukuro grasped her hand.
"Kufufu, aren't you worried your groom will cry?"
Even though his mood had improved, his tone still carried a hint of bitterness, emphasizing the word "groom."
Even if it was just a passing fancy, or for that absurd reason, the fact that Sawada Tsunayoshi was her only fiancé remained unchanged.
“Tsuna will find me.” Yokawa Rei glanced at him. “More importantly, you’re not happy.”
To be honest, none of you are happy.
This melancholy mood often made her doubt whether she had made the wrong decision.
Rokudo Mukuro was satisfied.
"kufufufufu, how willful!"
He was sharp-tongued, but his actions betrayed his true thoughts.
He tightened his grip on her hand, pulling her into his arms and lifting her up in his arms.
The man kissed her forehead, a triumphant smile on his face: "Happy wedding, Sunflower."
The morning breeze ruffled his hair. Rokudo Mukuro, tall and elegant, stood on the balcony, and with a push of his right foot, leaped down.
A roc flew in from afar and caught them steadily.
The wind picked up, and fearing she would be uncomfortable, Rokudo Mukuro subtly moved his left arm to protect her head.
The Peng bird is enormous, soaring through the sky with its snow-white wings spread wide.
This is a device that Rokudo Mukuro and Verde invented together, capable of turning illusions into real objects.
In a sense, the Peng bird is both a tangible creature and a mere thought of the illusionist.
"I'm going to take a nap first."
Yao Chuanling yawned, closed her eyes, and prepared to sleep.
She was woken up early today to get her hair and makeup done, and she stayed up late last night chatting with Kyoko and Bianchi until late.
So sleepy.
"Go to sleep."
Rokudo Mukuro spoke gently, making it impossible to tell that he was about to commit such a heinous act as kidnapping a bride.
When they arrived at their destination, she was still asleep. He didn't wake Yao Chuanling, but conjured a bed out of thin air, put her on it, and then thoughtfully covered her with a blanket.
"You're too late."
The man in the black suit put down his teacup and glanced at her with his grey-blue phoenix eyes.
He was getting impatient.
Rokudo Mukuro straightened his indigo striped tie, his smile laced with sarcasm: "She's asleep in my arms, so sweet."
Quiet and reserved is much more agreeable than someone who openly declares their intention to marry Sawada Tsunayoshi.
Rokudo Mukuro and Hibari Kyoya reached an agreement: he would kidnap people, while the Disciplinary Foundation would be responsible for the venue.
Bingsheng is a small place, with very few spacious and beautiful outdoor areas.
If this weren't Hibari Kyoya's territory, where everything was under his control, he wouldn't have cooperated with this annoying guy.
After all, the two of them were itching to fight the moment they saw each other.
Hibari Kyoya gave a sarcastic scoff.
They're just losers.
Last night he tricked that silly elf into filling out the marriage certificate, making them legal, compliant, and in accordance with the prevailing social norms.
But if it comes to fighting, he's ready.
It's not easy to find a free and strong opponent.
The Cloud Guardian and the Mist Guardian started fighting after a disagreement, and both sides tacitly moved away from the wedding venue.
Yao Chuanling woke up while they were fighting.
She sat up and looked around.
An oval flower archway, a Cupid wishing fountain, and various small animal sculptures.
The elf blinked.
Is this bringing a fairy tale into reality?
Sleeping Beauty, will you marry me?
The Italian gentleman, wearing a top hat, took the bride's hand and gently kissed it.
My house was robbed.
Sawada Tsunayoshi rushed over and happened to see the newlyweds kissing amidst the falling petals.
If this wasn't originally his bride, Sawada Tsunayoshi really wanted to offer his blessings to his teacher.
"Uh..."
Sawada Tsunayoshi jolted awake from his dream, his eyes snapping open.
It was just a dream.
Unlike the beautiful and romantic scenery in his dream, he drew back the curtains to reveal the deep darkness of the Sicilian night.
It's hard to say whether it's regret or relief.
He remained silent, gazing at the horizon for a long time.
