Every time he recovered some of his memory, he occasionally felt a sense of déjà vu, which was like a beautifully wrapped gift. When he unwrapped them, he felt happy most of the time.

Shi Wu still couldn't remember his name or his past, but there was one more person in his memory, and the blank space was filled.

That person was as hot as a flame, and surged out from the depths of Shi Wu's memory with rich colors. The warm firelight illuminated the night, and the hearty laughter seemed to be right beside his ears.

This should be a happy enough thing.

But, it wasn't this time.

When he recalled that person, he also remembered the fact that the other person was dead.

That was his partner - but he was unable to express his emotions correctly in the past. Shi Wu was unable to sense that his heart was blunt and uncomfortable at this moment. It was not as if it was stabbed by a sword, and it was not even painful.

The emotion was not intense, but a long-lasting sadness that spread in the blood. He realized it

belatedly.

Shi Wu felt the sadness truly.

He was immersed in his own thoughts and did not even notice when the Sasagawa siblings came over. He did not notice the confusion and worry on Kyoko Sasagawa's face - until the other party took out a handkerchief from her handbag and handed it to him, Shi Wu suddenly reacted.

"...Are you okay, Tsuna-kun?" Kyoko Sasagawa is a girl who could not be more gentle. She is the "ordinary person" who is well protected - they all tacitly protect Namimori, so that the people here can live their lives in the most ordinary way.

No one knows that the leader of the Vongola once lived in such a small place.

So Kyoko Sasagawa doesn't have to ask what happened, nor does she think about whether there is any conspiracy behind this matter, or what happened to the other party. She just simply expresses her concern at the moment.

Tokiwa looked at Kyoko Sasagawa with some confusion, and did not take the handkerchief she handed out.

Kyoko Sasagawa had to ask again: "Tsuna, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Tokiwa replied.

The next second, the soft female voice was a little vague, but it still reached Shi Wu's ears. She hesitated and tentatively said, "But... you are crying, Tsuna-kun."

She said so.

In Kyoko Sasagawa's impression, the original Sawada Tsunayoshi was a timid but very gentle boy. But as time passed, many things happened around Sawada Tsunayoshi, countless dangers appeared around him, and even her brother was involved.

But none of her classmates, friends, and partners spoke up, so even if she was involved in a dangerous future and could die at any time, Kyoko Sasagawa still didn't ask at the beginning of that time.

Until the moment she couldn't bear it anymore.

It was also at that time that Kyoko Sasagawa realized that her classmate, the timid boy, had become so strong after experiencing so many complicated and difficult things.

She knew that her brother was working for Tsunayoshi Sawada, and after being involved in the future war ten years ago, Kyoko Sasagawa was already an insider. But she only knew the most superficial things, and she didn't know more.

However, she rarely, or almost never, saw Tsunayoshi Sawada shed tears.

Even when he encountered such a dangerous situation ten years ago.

Maybe it was the boy's self-esteem, or some other reason. Kyoko Sasagawa had never seen such tears fall from the boy's eyes.

He was much younger than she remembered, and looked like a middle school student with brown hair. In his warm eyes, which were the same color as his hair, there was confusion and sadness, and crystal tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

It was not the first time that Shi Wu knew about the death of that person. In his recovered memory, he got the news from a crow. At that time, he did not comment on this matter. He suppressed that emotion in his heart and never showed it.

The death of others is different from one's own death.

At the moment the other person died, at the moment he learned the news, Shi Wu did not even react. It seemed that if he turned around, he could still see the flaming figure.

I don't know if it's because this body's empathy is too strong, or if the emotions at that time were delayed for such a long time, that Shiwu only realized now that

the person who would talk loudly, pat his shoulders, eat with big mouthfuls as if he didn't chew, and shout "delicious, delicious!" while eating, he will never see him again.

Even the sadness he felt was delayed for so long.

The system didn't make any sound, and Kyoko Sasagawa's worried expression was right in front of him. Shiwu's eyes fell on Ryohei Sasagawa's ring, which had extinguished the flame.

Shiwu lowered his head, his voice was steady, without the slightest tremor. He took the handkerchief that Kyoko Sasagawa handed over, said thank you softly, and said sorry.

What should have been a relaxed process became somewhat silent and awkward because of him.

Normally, Ryohei Sasagawa could easily change the atmosphere with his extreme attitude in such situations - but this time, Ryohei Sasagawa did not do so. The

intuitive Guardian of the Sun seemed to have sensed something from Tokiwa's attitude.

As it got darker, Ryohei Sasagawa brought him back to the base and separated from him temporarily. Tokiwa

did not enter his room, but sat on the lawn in the open space above the base, looking up at the beautiful orange-yellow sky.

He heard footsteps coming from behind him, the sound was very light, but it was not from Tsunayoshi Sawada and his guitarists who had not undergone any special training.

The slender girl sat down beside Shi Wu, holding down her skirt. She did not speak, but did the same thing as Shi Wu, and raised her head.

The sky is tolerant. The moment you look up at the sky, your mood will become calm.

Even if the sun disappears completely, the sky will still be full of moons that are enough to illuminate the night.

The temperature at night is much lower than that during the day. Uni is wearing a white dress. Such a temperature may be a little cold for a little girl with poor health.

But Uni said nothing until the moon appeared, then she spoke softly: "Mr. Tsuneyoshi, do you like the sky?"

Shi Wu naturally likes it. He stared at the sky in a daze for a long time.

The warm brown eyes looked a little empty, but Shi Wu still politely turned his head and looked in the direction of Yuni, and nodded to Yuni's eyes that were as tolerant as the sky.

After getting a response, Yuni looked a little happy and bent her eyes. At this moment, she behaved like a real ordinary little girl.

"I like it too. The sky is vast and tolerant, and can accommodate everything - just like Mr. Tsunekichi." Yuni said the words like a confession. The girl tilted her head and said with a smile: "I have always felt that the existence of guardians is very warm."

"Although they are guardians, this friendship is not one-sided. When everyone protects Mr. Tsunekichi, Mr. Tsunekichi also tolerates and protects everyone."

Although the guardians of Vongola are all powerful enough, their personalities are very strong and different. If it weren't for Sawada Tsunayoshi, no one would have allowed them to be in the same place.

"Mr. Tsunayoshi has been working hard to protect everyone. He has always been unwilling to let his partners, who were originally ordinary people, get involved in danger because of his relationship." Uni suddenly talked about something that had nothing to do with the present.

She analyzed Sawada Tsunayoshi and said softly: "It is precisely because he wants to protect everyone's feelings that Mr. Tsunayoshi encountered difficulties. His first reaction is never to seek help from everyone."

Uni was not talking about Tokiwa, but the Sawada Tsunayoshi she knew. But at the same time, she did say these words to Tokiwa. Then, she said, "But every time, those difficulties were always overcome by Mr. Tsuneyoshi and everyone."

Uni paused, as if trying to avoid the wound that could hurt others, and said in the softest tone: "Mr. Tsuneyoshi, who do you see in Mr. Hei?"

Maybe the temperature was really a little cold, Shi Wu felt a little cold.

He did not choose to avoid this question, even though he knew that as long as he remained silent, Uni would never continue to ask. Shi

Wu spoke in a low voice, just like Sawada Tsuneyoshi who used fire ten years ago, calm and mature, without the cautious cowardice.

"My partner." He answered.

There was no hesitation, because this was the fact. Shi Wu did not want to deny the identity of his partner.

Having made a beginning, Shi Wu continued to speak.

"He... Actually, I can't explain the relationship between him and me. That person always talks to himself and often does things that are difficult to understand." After saying this, Shi Wu no longer behaved like Sawada Tsunayoshi.

The timid and cautious temperament that he showed some time ago disappeared from Shi Wu.

He lowered his eyes slightly, and the moonlight could not reflect into his pupils. The highlights seemed to have been lost in his warm brown eyes.

Shi Wu remembered the man's name, a name that fits the other person's hair color and temperament very well.

...Mr. Purgatory.

Shi Wu didn't know how to describe the other person to Uni, so he fell into a brief silence.

Uni never cares about this.

Because of the special nature of her ability, most of the time she doesn't need to talk to understand a person.

The reason why she mentioned the guardians in the previous conversation was because she knew that her words would never be more useful than the attitudes of the guardians.

When Shi Wu was thinking about how to word it, Yuni said: "Escape is the most useless attitude."

"I did that before, I hid it." Yuni recalled the memory she got ten years ago, "But I still have to face that future in the end."

"Mr. Tsuneyoshi." Yuni never gave advice to others in a sharp or condescending manner. She just gently tried to pull the boy in front of her out of the closed space.

During this period, Shi Wu was too obedient and cautious.

Shi Wu drew a clear line between himself and the people in this world. There was a very obvious barrier between him and the world, just like Shi Wu's attitude towards Sawada Nana - he clearly separated his mother from Sawada Nana.

Everyone could see that Shi Wu was ready to leave at any time and had never really relaxed.

Until today, Sasagawa Ryohei suddenly broke this thick barrier.

Uni said, "Although everyone here is not the same partner you know, becoming friends with everyone here does not mean it is a betrayal."

"Different worlds represent different branches, and there are no exactly the same people. But no one can deny that you are Sawada Tsunayoshi, and you still have similarities."

"Mr. Ryohei and you met for the first time today, but he is still Sasagawa Ryohei. If Mr. Tsunayoshi has any questions, maybe you can get the answer from him."

Uni's eyes were clear, as if nothing could be hidden from her.

Compared to others, she always seemed to be the one who knew the result in advance.

Shi Wu did not answer this sentence, but the aura around him softened obviously.

Just like the words that mom finally said easily, maybe these things are much simpler than he thought.

——Tokiwu wanted to try to recover more memories.

Not deliberately, forcing himself to recall, but as the system said, let it go naturally, and no longer avoid those sense of déjà vu that was enough to restore his memory.

Although Nana Sawada is not his mother, the aura of Nana Sawada allows him to recall his real mother.

So on the second day, Tokiwu tried to speak to Sawada Tsunayoshi, he said: "Can I... go see her?"

Tokiwu couldn't shout that name in front of Nana Sawada's real son.

Sawada Tsunayoshi looked a little surprised, he easily figured out who the "she" in Tokiwu's mouth was referring to.

Sawada Tsunayoshi obviously didn't know what happened, and she didn't tell anyone about the conversation between Uni and Tokiwu.

However, Tsunayoshi Sawada didn't care about this - his mother seemed to have become everyone's mother when he was fifteen years old. Even Lee Bourne called Nana Sawada "Mom" directly.

Tsunayoshi Sawada smiled and said, "Of course you can."

"But Mom doesn't know our identities. I have always kept the Vongola affairs from her." His

super intuition was triggered at this moment, and Shi Wu asked in doubt, "Does she really not know?"

Tsunayoshi Sawada seemed to be stunned, but the smile on his face did not disappear, but became softer.

He did not answer the question whether his mother really didn't know: "It's not important."

Sawada Tsunayoshi asked: "So what identity do you want to meet her in?"

This question was something Shi Wu had never thought about. Looking at the puzzled expression on the boy's face, Sawada Tsunayoshi laughed: "After all, I can't tell my mother that I was split and suddenly became two people-"

At this point, Sawada Tsunayoshi paused and thought: "...It seems that it is not impossible?"

Shi Wu: "..."

Shi Wu couldn't help but complain: "What on earth have you been hiding from her all these years?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi shrugged innocently: "Mainly because there are too many strange things happening around me."

"For example, the baby can talk and has become my tutor. There are often explosions at home, but for mom, it's just a joke between us."

"Rambo swapped with himself ten years later, so he became Rambo's brother in front of mom, and no one can recognize Reborn after changing his clothes."

"Don't worry, mom has a high acceptance ability." Tsunayoshi Sawada made such a conclusion.

Looking at the irresistible desire to complain on his past self's face, Tsunayoshi Sawada smiled even happier.

"Okay, I'm just kidding." Sawada Tsuneyoshi rubbed his hair from ten years ago, "We can't fool Mom."

He said softly in the surprised eyes of Shi Wu: "Mom can't recognize the cosplay of Reborn, but no matter how we disguise ourselves, no matter what we look like, no matter whether we become smaller or bigger, in Mom's eyes, we will always be her children."

"No matter what you become, Mom will recognize you."

Maybe it was Shi Wu's illusion, he seemed to hear Sawada Tsuneyoshi sigh.

"I guess the mother you want to see should be the one from the world ten years ago."

During this time, Shiran and Irie Shoichi did not do nothing. It was actually quite simple to "send" Shi Wu back to the world ten years ago. After all, Tokiwa is from that world - at least that's what it is in the eyes of Tsunayoshi Sawada and the others.

But Tsunayoshi Sawada and they can't be sure what the consequences will be after sending people back. The fact that Tokiwa has no flame on his body is too dangerous no matter how you think about it.

According to their guess, the flame lost from Tokiwa is directly related to the world that is about to collapse.

It's just that Uni is opposed to their idea, and Uni has the right of "one vote" most of the time among them.

Because of Uni's predictive ability. She always knows more than others.

And since Uni said it was okay, Tsunayoshi Sawada would naturally not deny it. And this was originally a step they were going to implement later.

At most, it was just advanced.

So when Sawada Tsuneyoshi asked Tokiwu "Do you want to go back?", after feeling the other party's goodwill, Tokiwu hesitated for a moment and did not refuse.

"Because the coordinates of the world are not so easy to determine and capture, Tsuneyoshi-kun, I mean the Tsuneyoshi-kun of ten years ago. Because you are from that world, I can always contact the coordinates of the world ten years ago and will not lose them."

When Tokiwu was determined to go back ten years ago, Irie Shoichi seriously explained: "In order for us not to lose the coordinates of that world, Tsuneyoshi-kun, you must come back."

Coordinates, space-time fluctuations, etc., are naturally helped by the system behind the scenes.

"And the most stable time limit for the rocket launcher to remain in place ten years later is only five minutes."

It's not impossible to extend it a little, but it will be a lot of trouble and will cause a lot of uncertainty.

"Because of your special nature, Tsuneyoshi-kun - I've said before that I can't explore and observe in the past, so if possible..." Perhaps he felt that his next words were a bit too much, Irie Shoichi hesitated: "Can I put a monitor on your body?"

The monitor is of course not to monitor Tokiwa's every move, but to monitor the energy fluctuations of another world - when you can't go there yourself, the easiest way is to intuitively determine the situation in another world through Tokiwa. Of course

, even if you refuse, it doesn't matter. It's still the old saying, it's just a little troublesome at most. Irie Shoichi is always easy to talk to in these aspects that are not particularly necessary.

Just like before, Tokiwa had no reason to refuse.

Irie Shoichi breathed a sigh of relief.

The technology tree of this world is really strange, and traveling through time and space seems to be a very simple thing.

At least in the next second, Shi Wu stood in Irie Shoichi's laboratory, and in the eyes of others, he traveled through the tunnel of time and space——

"Actually, it's no different from the time you usually take me through." Shi Wu complained to the system in his heart, "It's still like taking a turn in a washing machine."

[……]

Because he had been to Namimori, when he stepped into the parallel world ten years ago, Shi Wu easily determined his position.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or Irie Shoichi did it on purpose, he saw the very familiar words "Sawada" at first sight.

This is the Sawada family, the Sawada family without Sawada Tsunayoshi.

Tokiwa touched the earphone-like monitor on his ear, not sure what Shoichi Irie and the others would see from their perspective.

Unlike what Tsunayoshi Sawada and the others imagined, Tokiwa was also coming to this world for the first time -

this world was also unfamiliar to him. Tokiwa didn't know what to do for a moment.

Fortunately, he didn't need to take the initiative to do anything. Nana Sawada opened the door from the inside and walked out.

The similar face easily reminded Tokiwa of what happened when he first met Nana Sawada, and the way she looked at him -

although they said they were not the same person, when this Nana Sawada no longer looked at him with the gentle eyes of a mother looking at her child, Tokiwa still felt a little sad.

This shouldn't happen, because the other person is not his mother, and he has no reason to show such emotions.

However, Sawada Nana took the initiative to walk towards him.

Just like what Sawada Tsunayoshi said to Tokioka - a mother can definitely recognize her child, no matter how the child changes.

Even if Nana Sawada in this world has no children, there is no child named Tsunayoshi Sawada. But when Tokiwa subconsciously looked at her with the same eyes as her mother, Nana Sawada got the answer. Regardless of

Tokiwa's identity, whether he is Tsunayoshi Sawada or not - just at this moment, it's just a child acting coquettishly to a mother.

Nana Sawada gave Tokiwa a very warm hug.

The words that Tokiwa originally wanted to say and the original doubts were all melted in the warmth of this moment.

He didn't need to take the initiative to explain anything or do anything. Just by facing Nana Sawada, Tokiwa knew what his mother was like.

- Warm, full of love, would hug him and praise him.

This is the memory his mother left for him.

The author has something to say: Shi Wu: I understand, you are asking me to replace your meal! I will do my best!

Yuni: I think... I probably don't mean that...
