Shi Wu didn't know what he said wrong. He looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi's ugly expression innocently and blankly.

It was ugly, but it wasn't that ugly. It was just that after this gentle face lost that smile, it became very different and a little scary.

Sawada Tsunayoshi was the leader of a mafia family after all.

He rejected Shi Wu's proposal - he didn't reject it forcefully, but he diverted the focus so that Shi Wu would temporarily forget his original purpose without realizing it.

Uni appeared behind him: "Mr. Tsuneyoshi, you should be able to see that he is serious. Even if you delay the time now, he will still come to you later."

"But, this kind of thing should never be handed over to a child." Sawada Tsuneyoshi looked at Uni and spoke softly.

He has always had opinions about himself ten years later, but fortunately, his companions who went to the future ten years later were fine, and they all returned to the past safely.

In the future war, the only ones who really died and disappeared were Uni, γ, and the enemy, Byakuran.

The passage of time is enough to heal the wounds, but it does not mean that they no longer exist. Homotops are similar, but they are not the same person.

The girl who was the same age as him (because they were in the future) was the first person that Sawada Tsunayoshi met, Yuni, who sacrificed herself to save the world.

"Yuni, I don't want to watch my partner die in front of me anymore." Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes were filled with a slight sadness.

Yuni raised her head and apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tsunayoshi."

But her thoughts never changed: "I can't deny that I was always afraid before I really made that decision."

"I'm afraid of that future." As she said this, her tone became firm, "But I have to do it."

Yuni can understand Shi Wu's feelings, and even - Sawada Tsunayoshi understands them as well.

They are all the same and similar people.

Tsunayoshi Sawada sighed, "You know I can't say the same thing as you, Uni."

"But there's no reason to let him bear all this now." Tsunayoshi Sawada said, "As long as there is enough time, Shoichi can make a device that supports the seven-cubic-power flame."

"Especially, our world did this ten years ago."

Uni was silent, she didn't say anything to hit him.

- At that time, all of them used up all their flames to barely support the flame energy needed for the rainbow pacifier.

But in another world, what he lacked was not the first power of the seven-cubic-power, but all of it.

Even if the same device was used, it would not be easy to do it - the most important thing is that that world is not their world, and they can't even interfere too much.

Uni has the ability to predict. She knew the answer from the beginning.

And Sawada Tsunayoshi - also sensed the future from Uni's reaction.

But he smiled: "Uni, the future can be changed."

"You in another world have found the only thread that can save the future among countless worlds."

"So this time, I will do what I should do."

Sawada Tsunayoshi made a serious promise. He will not let another child sacrifice in front of him again - even if that child is himself in another world. He understands his thoughts and personality better than anyone else.

Uni seemed to be silent for a moment, and she smiled lightly: "Mr. Tsunayoshi, I believe you."

Shi Wu was not very clear about the confrontation between the two people. He and the system were communicating fiercely (not) in his mind.

[Impossible. ]

"Really not?" Shi Wu said disappointedly.

[...Even if all the remaining energy is exchanged, it can only support one third. You can't save that world alone. 】

This is also the reason why the system has determined Tokiwu's position from the beginning. It is precisely because they can't do it that he lets Tokiwu do whatever he wants, and the rest of the work is handed over to Irie Shoichi and others.

Saving the world has never been his business. His only goal is to resurrect Tokiwu. It is not impossible to use energy for Tokiwu's ideas, but it is a meaningless waste, and the system still has to express resistance.

Perhaps Tokiwu's depressed mood was too obvious. The system was silent for a long time, and then spoke of another way.

[…Do you know the meaning of the rainbow baby? ]

Tokiwu:?

[Jinchūriki. In order to ensure the stability of the world, the Rainbow Child mentioned in the file is the Jinchūriki of the world. ]

[There is no need to pay all the flame energy at once. As long as the Jinchūriki is still there, the stable and continuous payment of the flame can also ensure the stability of the world. 】

Shi Wu is not stupid, he understood immediately after the system said this.

——All his vests are not real humans, but just copied bodies.

Just like the parallel world self that Byakuran pulled over in the Future War—because two identical people cannot appear in the same world, the Byakuran that became the Flame Block.

Compared to real humans being forced to become human pillars to stabilize the world, these vests of Shi Wu are a more perfect choice.

Shi Wu's eyes lit up: "So, can I leave the vest in that world?"

[…I don't recommend it. All the vests you have drawn are very precious. At present, the vest of "Ranpo Edogawa" is still being repaired. 】The system's tone was extremely helpless, but he had never rejected Shi Wu.

[But if you really want to do this, I won't stop you. 】

For the system, every time a vest is used, there is one less, and it is extremely precious. He doesn't care about the destruction of the world at all, but Tokiwa's moral values ​​prevent him from hurting anyone.

Tokiwa is just the opposite. He thinks that using the vest in exchange for the stability of the world is really a good deal!

Since the molecular device on Sawada Tsunayoshi's body has been upgraded several times, Tokiwa's existence has become more stable, which also makes Sawada Tsunayoshi and others more relieved - although in fact, Tokiwa had no problems at all.

Namimori is safe enough, and the leader of the Vongola rarely shows up, so Sawada Tsunayoshi is very confident in letting Tokiwa go out at will. As long as you don't leave Namimori, you will basically not encounter any danger.

——In fact, with Hibari guarding the place, there will be no danger in Namimori, but there will be acquaintances.

Tokiwa compared the photo in the file with the girl in front of him——the too obvious eye mask and the facial features that have not changed much made Tokiwa recognize the identity of the person in front of him.

Chrom, the half body and physical medium of Rokudo Mukuro, together with Rokudo Mukuro, constitute the whole of Sawada Tsunayoshi's Guardian of the Mist.

Chrom's introduction in the file is that she has a quiet and well-behaved personality, but ten years of growth have made her temperament more mature and stable.

"Boss." Chrom spoke to Tokiwa, her long purple hair hanging down her shoulders, and her left eye that was not covered by the eye mask did not have the slightest malice.

She expressed her friendliness, but her hands unconsciously grabbed the corner of her clothes. This made her look like she hadn't changed at all from ten years ago.

She hesitated for a moment, then spoke to Shi Wu: "I... I am not my real self now. My real self is still in Italy, creating the illusion that you are still at the headquarters."

"Originally I didn't know what happened... But I felt it from Lord Mukuro... Boss."

Chrom is the other half of Rokudo Mukuro. She accidentally entered Rokudo Mukuro's illusion, so she discovered the truth. She knew that "Sawada Tsunayoshi" from ten years ago appeared in this world.

Because of the existence of the bazooka ten years later, they are very receptive to the existence of another self in the parallel world. In particular, the future possible self ten years later when the bazooka was exchanged ten years later is not the self of the same age.

It is easy to see the difference when comparing the self of the same age. But there are too many possibilities in the future, and it is natural for it to be different and changeable, so it is easy to treat it as a person.

"I'm sorry for returning to Namimori without the boss's order..." Chrom pursed her lips, and her beautiful violet eyes were filled with worry: "But, I, I'm worried about the boss...!"

"Mister Mukuro didn't tell me the details, so I..."

Shiwu was a little confused. What does this have to do with Rokudo Mukuro? When did Rokudo Mukuro appear?

Because he was protected by the system throughout the whole process, he was a little confused about what happened, but he still understood what Chrom meant.

Simply put, through Rokudo Mukuro, Chrom saw Shiwu's spiritual world, but because he only saw a part of it, that part was not very good, and it was not the same as the boss she was familiar with in the past, which made her very worried.

For an illusionist with the mist attribute, there is no more convenient way to confirm than spiritual connection.

So Chrom took the initiative to appear in front of Shi Wu, wanting to tell Shi Wu in advance, hoping that Shi Wu would allow her to enter his spiritual world, so that she could confirm whether Shi Wu's spirit had been harmed by the outside world or the enemy.

If the system could complain, it would probably complain at this moment - is this guy's soul really liked by so many people?

Unfortunately, the system would not.

Shi Wu confirmed with the system in his heart whether there was a problem with this operation, and after getting the answer, he breathed a sigh of relief.

So Shi Wu nodded to Chrom and smiled a familiar smile to Chrom: "Of course, Chrom."

"Thank you for rushing to Namimori for me."

——Tsunayoshi Sawada is really a very good person, so there are so many people willing to follow him and want to protect him.

The kindness he has received now comes entirely from the existence of Tsunayoshi Sawada.

It is precisely because they regard Tsunayoshi Sawada as a partner, so they treat him with the attitude of treating a partner, which makes Shi Wu see one familiar sense of déjà vu after another from their interactions.

After sighing in his heart, Shi Wu asked curiously: "Well... should I make any preparations, Chrom?"

Chrom shook his head and said, "Just relax, boss."

Chrom was not the original body, and Shi Wu did not resist her inspection - so Chrom easily entered Shi Wu's spiritual world.

However, with the cover and protection of the system, Chrom could not see anything. All that

was left for her was - darkness.

The author has something to say: Shi Wu: I once said that there will always be one less vest.

System: You can shut up.
