Chapter 16 refers to the Ring Battle (Part Two)
The ring that Squalo stole was a fake; the real ring was brought to Neon by Dino and given to Sawada Tsunayoshi and his Guardians.
The fake Vongola Rings bought everyone ten days of time, so Reborn decided to give Tsuna and the others special training.
The elves, carrying a camera, decided to take precious photos of their training.
Clear skies, fog, thunderstorms, and a vast sky.
The rings with the attributes of mist and lightning were given to someone unknown to Yao Chuanling, who seemed to be the person she hadn't expected.
Haru gave the ring to Sasagawa Ryohei, Kyoko's older brother.
Does Kyoko know about this?
She thought.
If Kyoko asks, she won't lie to her.
However, Brother Ping is indeed the most suitable person for Qing.
Her first stop was the cliff where her older brother lived.
He and Colonello lay on the rocks sunbathing.
This was the first time Youchuan Ling had seen him quiet down. After all, this hot-blooded young man sometimes gave Hibari Kyoya a real headache.
More than once, she saw Sasagawa Ryohei hurriedly push open the door of the Disciplinary Committee, causing a disturbance during the competition.
Precious photos taken during quiet moments, snapped away.
However, she scouted the location cleverly and encountered a strange man sneaking around and peeping at her.
Someone came knocking on my door yesterday, and today a new face appears. It's hard not to have some doubts.
Almost as soon as he saw the man, Yao Chuanling put a knife to his neck.
Sawada Iemitsu smiled and reached out to move the knife aside: "Little girl, you don't have any murderous aura."
Sawada Iemitsu, the Vongola's outer advisor and known as the Vongola Lion, is a dangerous figure in the underworld. Having lived on the edge for so many years, he can certainly tell who is truly capable of killing and who is just faking it.
"I am Tsuna's father, Sawada Iemitsu."
Seeing that Yokawa Rei was wary, he used Sawada Tsunayoshi as a pretext to try to lower her guard.
He had investigated Sawada Tsunayoshi's interpersonal relationships beforehand and knew that the little girl in front of him had a close relationship with his son.
Originally, she was also his preferred candidate for Mist Guardian. Reborn had asked her about it, but unfortunately, she refused to join the Vongola.
If she were the Mist Guardian, he wouldn't have to go through all that trouble negotiating with those troublesome guys.
"But you and Tsuna don't look alike at all, and Tsuna's father has already turned into a star."
Yao Chuanling looked at him with a disbelieving expression and even more displeasure.
She's not so easily fooled. This guy even dared to lie to her about Tsuna's deceased father; that's outrageous.
Sawada Iemitsu, who was speaking the truth, instantly broke down, and his smile froze on his lips.
"Waaaaah, Nana~ Tsuna just looks like Nana."
This little girl really knows how to hit home.
Sawada Iemitsu secretly grumbled to himself.
The blond, red-eyed father does not resemble his brown-haired, brown-eyed son at all; Sawada Tsunayoshi's appearance is a complete copy of Sawada Nana.
He had wondered about it before, but then he felt there was nothing wrong with it. Like Nana, like Nana is so wonderful.
If he could, he would want his wife and children to stay away from the underworld, away from danger and gunpowder.
Sawada Iemitsu always knew that Tsuna didn't want to become the successor of the Vongola. His kind and gentle personality, like Nana's, was not suitable for the mafia, but he was a reserve officer personally selected by the Ninth Boss.
The Ninth Generation Headmaster never jokes about matters concerning the future of the family.
This destined Tsuna and Xanxus to have a battle.
The Vongola lion rubbed its temples with a headache.
"Aren't you going to take pictures of them training? We're going the same way, so you can keep an eye on me."
He couldn't argue with this troublesome little girl any longer; he needed to check on the training progress of the guardians.
A bunch of brats, they're always causing me trouble.
Yao Chuanling glanced at the time, and seeing that the man had no intention of harming her, she readily agreed.
The second stop was Take Sushi Restaurant.
Because the person who taught swordsmanship was Takeshi Yamamoto's father, who also owned the sushi restaurant, the restaurant had put up a sign saying it was temporarily closed.
A-Wu texted her saying it was at the dojo behind the shop.
Bamboo Sushi was like her third home, and since she had given prior notice, Yaochuan Ling could easily sneak in with just a key.
When she arrived at the dojo, she saw Yamamoto Takeshi being beaten without any resistance.
Uncle Yamamoto, wielding a sword, was a far cry from his usual amiable self. His eyes were sharp, and he showed no mercy in his attacks.
Takeshi Yamamoto lay on the ground, panting heavily. The light and shadow were dappled, and he rested his hand on his slightly damp forehead, his eyes closed, lost in thought.
This scene was captured on camera by Yao Chuanling.
"Good morning, Uncle and A-Wu. I'm here to gather inspiration."
Photographer Xiaoling put her camera aside and reached out to pick up the sword that had fallen to the ground.
She gracefully twirled her sword, the sword strokes resembling crescent moons.
Yao Chuanling immediately saw through his problem. His sword moved with him, the crescent moon exuding an imposing aura, pointing directly at his throat.
"Awu needs to be a bit fiercer." She slowly sheathed her sword and handed it to him, saying, "So think about it carefully."
Takeshi Yamamoto is like gentle rain, but in a crisis, this rain needs to be sharp and forceful.
He stood up and took the sword hilt, the lingering warmth in his palm darkening his eyes.
As he collapsed to the ground, the scene from that day replayed in his mind: the cold and arrogant silver-haired man, his own vulnerability, and the person he most wanted to protect standing in front of him.
Her light golden hair shone brightly in the sunlight, like a stream of brilliant gold flowing through the dojo.
In this mafia game, the natural-born killer praised by Reborn suffered his first Waterloo.
Takeshi Yamamoto was holding his breath.
He gripped his sword, took a deep breath, and put on his usual light and cheerful smile: "I understand, I will try my best."
We need to work even harder.
We need to catch up with her.
We must not let this incident repeat itself.
"Awu, you don't have to laugh if you don't want to."
Elves are always sensitive to human emotions, and sometimes they can even empathize with someone at first sight. They can easily sense Yamamoto Takeshi's depressed and heavy mood.
But she couldn't think of any good ideas to help him yet, after all, Takeru's difficulty level was second only to Mukuro.
Yao Chuanling thought to himself with deep resentment.
So she simply opened her arms and asked softly, "Want a hug? Only for Takeshi."
The teacher had taught her that hugs, in human etiquette, convey comfort and encouragement.
Unlike the hasty and brief hug a few days ago, she felt a burning body temperature.
Use force, but exercise restraint.
Even in summer, elves have a lower body temperature than humans, and since Yamamoto Takeshi had just finished training, holding her felt like touching cool water, which calmed him down.
call……
He cherished this limited-time embrace and was reluctant to let go, but he also knew that his body temperature was too scorching for Yao Chuanling, so he quickly took the initiative to let go.
"Thank you, Xiaoling, it's completely healed!"
After realizing what she had done in a moment of impulse, the tan of her skin, tanned from years of training, returned, and Yamamoto Takeshi chuckled and coaxed her to take photos elsewhere.
We must proceed gradually.
He practiced the Shigure Souen Ryu over and over again, gradually developing the domineering style of the two future Vongola swordsmen.
Does anyone know that Rain Guardian's sword is for protection?
Protect Tsuna, protect her, protect everyone he cares about.
At least at this time, Yaochuan Ling was unaware.
Faced with Sawada Iemitsu's teasing, she didn't think of it at all, and looked at the photos in the camera with satisfaction, replying, "Because Takeru and I are good friends."
But now she's going to see another good friend of hers.
We arrived at her usual residence in Bingzhong—the rooftop.
The rooftop is Hibari Kyoya's favorite place, and it's also where she and Hibari have lunch together on school days.
The training ground for the Cloud Guardians is located here.
She guessed that Hibari accepted the ring mostly because he now had Dino as a sparring partner, which was a godsend for the warlike Namimori beast.
She could already picture Dino being threatened.
Dino-san, Tsuna's good Dino-san.
You have suffered.
"I'll buy Dino a drink!"
Yao Chuanling, carrying the drinks she bought from the school store, first handed two slightly chilled bottles to Romanio and Kusakabe Tetsuya, then tossed a room-temperature bottle into Dino's arms.
I successfully received three unanimous thanks.
Dino unscrewed the bottle cap with one hand, took a sip of water, and walked over to ruffle Yao Chuanling's hair without any politeness.
Yaochuan Ling: (／_＼)
She knew it! She knew it!
Taking advantage of being taller than her, he would always take advantage of her whenever they met.
Now it's a messy little Ling.
She was still holding a bottle of strawberry milk in her hand, which was originally meant for herself, but it was being wasted and she was too busy to care for it. Hibari Kyoya, the only one who hadn't received a drink, took the strawberry milk.
Wow.
Hibari Kyoya knew, of course, that she had deliberately not brought him a drink, since she had been arguing with him for the past few days.
Hibari Kyoya's ring was given to him by Yokawa Rei.
The handsome young man had an indifferent expression. He was holding the ring in his hand, as if he wanted to throw it to Kusakabe Tetsuya. His phoenix eyes were fixed on her, and he was certain that Youkawa Rei would agree to fight him.
"snort."
The elf let out a cold snort.
This guy is trying to do both!
A cunning villain!
If you mess with me, you've really hit a brick wall.
She snatched Yun Dou, made a face at Hibari Kyoya, and ran away angrily.
"She has quite a temper."
The cunning villain took a sip of strawberry milk and calmly commented.
He looked at Dino, raised his floating cane, his eyes filled with fighting spirit: "Continue."
Let's have a fight first, then we can worry about how to appease the animals when we get back.
After finally getting a short rest, Dino's smile froze upon hearing these words.
Fortunately, his cute little sister came to recharge him.
He picked up the whip as if resigned to his fate.
Kids are hard to raise; he kind of understands how Reborn felt when he was with him.
On the other side, Yao Chuanling, who had snatched Yun Dou, pinched the little bird's beak to stop it from chirping "Lark, Lark."
"Yun Dou is a little silly bird."
The silly bird couldn't tell at all that she was sulking with Hibari Kyoya.
She placed the cloud bean on her head and headed towards the forest where Gokudera Hayato was training.
Sawada Iemitsu also got a drink and leisurely followed beside her, thinking that his son had a good eye, only slightly worse than him.
Those who have been through it all just smiled and remained silent.
"Shamal?"
The sharp-eyed elf had heard the explosions coming from the forest long ago; they were continuous and the trees were complaining to her.
The frivolous doctor in the white coat stood behind the bushes with his hands in his pockets. He noticed that Yokawa Rei didn't approach her as usual, but instead stared at Gokudera Hayato, signaling her to be quiet.
The genius assassin, who is two-faced, refuses to be Gokudera Hayato's teacher, but still can't help coming here to look at his former student.
The more I look at it, the angrier I get.
Hayato Gokudera was completely unaware that three pairs of eyes were watching him.
His almost barbaric and self-destructive training methods not only infuriate onlookers, but also led to the current weakness in his wrists.
Just as the bomb was about to hit him, Yao Chuanling flashed and carried him to safety.
"Yaochuan?"
The battle-damaged silver-haired kitten realized they were so close, its eyes darting around but involuntarily landing on her ear.
A fervent fan of the occult cannot deny the existence of spirits in the world. Gokudera Hayato longed to touch those pointed ears, but he was very discreet and never made this somewhat ambiguous request.
She treated Gokudera Hayato's injuries, then a good idea popped into her head. She coughed a few times in a mocking manner: "Let's make a deal. If you're still alive after this incident, I'll let you touch my ears."
Hayato Gokudera does not value his own life.
That's why Shamal was unwilling to teach him.
“Before you become stronger,” the elf, who also loved life, tapped his chest and said, “you must first see yourself, see this place.”
Learn to cherish your life.
Takeru has no aggression at all, while Hayato is overly aggressive. It would be great if the two of them could balance each other out.
I'm so worried.
I hope she can see Gokudera Hayato safe and sound when she comes back.
Because of what happened a few days ago, he had mixed feelings when facing Yao Chuanling. Upon hearing this, he turned his head away and muttered, "I know."
I listened, but not completely.
Shamal's face darkened, revealing a look of disdain and impatience, but he eventually agreed to train Gokudera Hayato.
Okay, that completes the task Reborn gave her.
Now we're heading to the final stop.
Yao Chuanling skillfully blocked Xia Maer's sticky, forward-leaning face and snapped a few photos.
She saw Shamal posing in the viewfinder and Gokudera Hayato awkwardly making a peace sign, and nodded in satisfaction.
The boy's hand perfectly framed the setting sun. Yao Chuanling realized it was already evening and hesitated whether to go see Tsuna first or have dinner first, when her phone rang.
[R the Great Demon King]: I also want to eat Aunt Sachiko's omelet rice. Why don't you bring some over and we can eat together? Now is just the right time to go get it.
[Afternoon Tea Every Day]: ...Okay. Reborn, turn off your mind-reading ability.
Damn it, I tried to leave them to eat omelet rice but they spotted me remotely.
Reborn has even paid the money; all he's missing is a deliveryman.
The deliveryman, having received the food, muttered to himself.
[R the Great Demon King]: Not letting women pay is a standard feature of mature men ^_^
[Afternoon tea every day]: The Great Demon King is terrifying.
"The message has been withdrawn."
【R the Great Demon King】: I saw it.
"Tsuna, help me!"
When Yao Chuanling received Reborn's message, she had already arrived at the bottom of the cliff. She looked up and saw Reborn cleaning his gun.
Startled, she quickly hid behind Sawada Tsunayoshi, casually remarking that his yellow and white polka-dot underwear looked quite nice.
His face turned bright red, and he hurriedly wrapped himself in the blanket.
"Stop fooling around, Ling. Let's eat dinner quickly."
Fourteen-year-old Sawada Tsunayoshi is still a shy child, especially in front of girls he likes.
Similar scenarios had happened many times before, and he had long since mastered the skill of changing the subject.
On his way there, Sawada Iemitsu said goodbye, saying he was going back to enjoy the delicious meals his lovely wife had prepared.
So there were only three people eating by the river, and only three meals.
Reborn only ordered three servings.
"I'm starting to eat."
To ensure the food was delicious, she rushed over immediately.
The elf stuffed a large spoonful of rice into its mouth and mumbled something that Sawada Tsunayoshi couldn't understand.
Actually, it's the teaching assistant reporting the teaching progress to the teacher.
Reborn glanced at Sawada Tsunayoshi. The little rabbit struggled to keep up with their conversation, biting his spoon and eavesdropping.
What do you think of Tsuna?
The Great Demon King calmly took a bite of his omelet rice and steered the conversation toward Sawada Tsunayoshi.
The eavesdropping rabbit froze instantly.
Please, please, I need a good answer. Reborn has such a twisted sense of humor; I can't even enjoy my meal now.
He pursed his lips, his nervous gaze fixed on her face.
During the training, Reborn encouraged him.
The elf is all alone in this world, without any powerful backing, yet she loves to cause trouble. In Namimori, she has Hibari Kyoya protecting her, but what about outside of Namimori?
For example, the avenger from that time and Varia this time, if they want to become her support and protect her, they can only work in this direction.
He wanted to protect her too.
"Tsuna is the one I don't need to worry about the most."
Yao Chuanling's eyes crinkled as she spoke earnestly and firmly.
The flame in Sawada Tsunayoshi's heart never died out.
Yokawa Rei had never met a leader like Sawada Tsunayoshi, but she was convinced that he was the most suitable candidate to be the Vongola leader.
“That’s quite a compliment.” Reborn tapped Sawada Tsunayoshi on the head. “Keep up the good work, you idiot Tsuna.”
The boy, who possessed extraordinary intuition, naturally knew that she was telling the truth, so he belatedly realized that Yao Chuanling had never denied him.
Whether it was his righteous words at the beginning of the semester, his time as Reborn's teaching assistant, the Obsidian incident, or now, she has always had faith in him and believed in him.
Having been a useless Tsuna for over a decade, Sawada Tsunayoshi felt a surge of excitement upon realizing this.
He said firmly, "I will do my best."
I won't let her down.
