Chapter 242: Bourne's Test at the Rainbow Children's Gathering...
Sawada Tsunayoshi and others undoubtedly failed Reborn's test.
Hibari Kyoya, whose eyes lit up as he rushed forward upon hearing about the battle, fainted on the ground after just one encounter; Rambo, who was only five years old, could not be considered a combat force at all, and after the backbone Sawada Tsunayoshi was attacked and fell unconscious, the cooperation between Sasagawa Ryohei, Yamamoto Takeshi, and Gokudera Hayato could only be said to be okay, but it could not reach the level of 1+1+1>5.
After that, Tsunayoshi Sawada, who woke up, was completely unable to attack Reborn, even though he knew that the gap was the only loophole Reborn left for him.
…
…
Except for the still missing Will Emperor, the Rainbow Children gathered at the Namimori Shrine to discuss the next countermeasures.
"That guy Verdi didn't come." Reborn folded his arms, his expression a little gloomy.
"It's true." Feng closed his eyes and sighed.
"Viper, didn't you know his address when you made a deal with Wildi?" Lal Milch asked.
"I only know that he is in Japan, but I don't know his exact location." Mammon replied expressionlessly.
"When doing business, you don't care about the employer's address? Kola!" Colanillo questioned.
"I just want to get paid for my work." Mammon continued to maintain an expressionless face.
"I don't know where he is." Feng said worriedly.
"This is a headache." A week is about to end, but the last examiner of the Arcobaleno test is still nowhere to be seen. Alia also feels that things are getting a little difficult.
"It's possible to capture Emperor Weil and complete the test," the player said, sitting on the ground, chin in hand. "But that's not the most important issue right now."
"Aurora is right, Kola." Kronero looked at Reborn and asked, "What should we do next?"
"If Sawada fails to complete the test, he will not be able to become the tenth generation of Vongola." said Lal Milch.
"It's all your fault. Why don't you just let him pass?" Skarsgard, who was beginning to confuse the big and small kings, shouted at Reborn.
Before Reborn could speak, the player sitting next to Scarlu clenched his left hand slightly and hit Scarlu on the head hard.
"So, the reason you became the group bully is really closely related to your mouth that speaks without thinking, Scarlu."
The player wiped his hands, ignoring Scarlu, who was clutching his head and screaming in pain, and continued, "It's already said it's a test. How can we let it go?"
"Oh, except for your test." The player continued with a sad tone.
"That's why you're so useless, Scarlu." Reborn gave Scarlu a cold look at the brainless Scarlu, "Sometimes I can't figure it out either."
Why on earth does this guy always hit the nail on the head when he speaks?
"Forget it, let's have a drink to calm down first." The player took out a specially made drink tool box, unfolded it one by one, tossed two bottles of sports drink to Colanillo and Lal Milch, and asked the others, "What do you want to drink?"
"Espresso, please." Reborn twirled his sideburns and smiled cutely.
"It's a waste not to drink a free drink. I want strawberry milk." Mammon raised his little hand.
"In that case, I'd like a cup of milk tea," Alia said with a smile.
"Then I'll have a cup of oolong tea. Thank you, Aurora." Feng covered his lips and chuckled.
"Okay, okay, please wait a moment--" The player slowly made the dishes according to the order.
The first drink was espresso. The player took out coffee beans, a hand-grinding coffee machine, and an automatic kettle, boiled water, and ground beans...
"...Wait a minute, Sister Aurora! I haven't made my choice yet!" Scarlu said loudly.
"As a punishment for what you said just now, let me decide your drink, Scarlu. I will definitely prepare it carefully for you." The player patted Scarlu's head. The bright smile on his face looked terrifying to the purple-haired boy.
"Don't...Okay, I get it, Sister Aurora." Feeling the terrifying gazes from all around, Scarlu wisely changed his words.
"It's good that I didn't ask you to run errands to buy drinks, Kola! Just follow my instructions!" Colanillo said loudly.
"Don't worry, it won't be very bad this time. I have a feeling it!" The player patted his chest and said very confidently.
"Haven't you said that before..." Scarlu complained in a low voice, not daring to let Aurora who was making coffee hear it.
The interaction between Scarlu and Aurora eased the originally stagnant situation a lot.
"Go on, Reborn." After gulping down half a bottle of sports drink, Colano said, "What if Sawada and the others fail the test?"
"Then we'll talk about it when the time comes."
Thinking of Sawada Tsunayoshi and the others' performance yesterday, Reborn's expression was a little gloomy. "They didn't complete my test, so I can't give them my mark."
"But..." Alia opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.
"I can't show mercy to my enemies. There's nothing I can do about it." Reborn lowered his head.
In this situation, he couldn't show them any mercy. After a week, when they headed into the future again, they would face more challenges than just this...
"But how could Sawada Tsunayoshi have the guts to harm you?" The player handed the prepared drinks over one by one, looking at Reborn, who had a hint of worry in his eyes, and said, "You're the one among us who's spent the longest time with him. You understand him best, don't you?"
"That guy Sawada is too sentimental..." Lal Mirchi said from the perspective of an observer.
"For some reason, I once conducted some superficial research on him." The player waved his hand and explained, "Don't worry, it's just based on the necessary understanding of his host family."
"His father hid his background from him, and he stumbled along growing up... In short, he didn't have a single friend until Reborn became his tutor."
The player scratched his head and spoke hesitantly, "I'm not speaking for him, but you suddenly asking him to take action against you, who has brought about so many changes, seems a bit too much for a fourteen-year-old boy..."
"...A test is a test. You can't escape it when it comes." Reborn looked at the black-haired girl in front of him. "Isn't that what you did too, Aurora?"
"Don't forget that when your test comes, you will only be this age now."
"Well, but isn't my situation a little different from his..."
Putting aside the issue of tests, everything the player encounters is chosen by themselves, and Tsunayoshi Sawada is not one of them!
"They must have this awareness," said Reborn.
"..." The words that the player had carefully thought of were easily retorted by Reborn. Not knowing how to defend himself, the player looked to others for help.
"Putting aside Reborn's test, Emperor Weil's test also seems to be endless." Seeing Aurora's pleading eyes, even though Feng did not agree with her last words, he still spoke at the right time to help her out.
"I wonder what kind of test he will give me." Alia couldn't hide her worry.
"No matter what, there's only one thing that won't change—that is, none of us seven can be missing." A dark light flashed in Reborn's eyes, "But if that guy breaks the rules..."
"Breaking the rules...disrupting Rule 73?" Arya said what Reborn hadn't finished.
"Then we will have to take action." Feng, who disliked this kind of fearless fighting, lowered his eyebrows and said softly.
"There's one more thing." The player showed the pacifier in her hand, "That's this."
"Pacifier?" Colanillo was a little confused.
"Well, this pacifier, I wonder if I can ask Alia to take a look at it for me." The player looked at the woman with long dark green hair sitting on his right.
[Osora's Pacifier (Incomplete Version): This pacifier is colorless and resembles the original, but due to the player's manipulation, it turns orange, symbolizing Osora. After leaving the host, it turns golden for unknown reasons. The effect of this pacifier is unknown.]
"It's rare for us to gather together like this, and this matter may be related to the curse of Arcobaleno, so let me explain..."
The player placed the golden pacifier on Arya's outstretched hand and continued, "This pacifier actually used to be colorless and turned orange."
"Then, after it fell off my body due to the removal of the half-incomplete curse, it gradually turned golden."
"I have no idea what the reason is." The player spread his hands.
"What? Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? Kola!" Konelo said loudly.
"That's right, Sister Aurora!" Scarlu responded.
"Even now I can't count on you, Skarlu," the player complained.
"Also, be nice to those with amnesia, Colonero. Even now, I've only recovered most of my memories," the player said helplessly. "If it weren't for the Alcobaleno Trial, I wouldn't have realized the difference."
"Indeed, every time Alcobaleno delivers the mark, Aurora's nipple emits a golden light that entangles people with the same attributes."
Lal Milch glanced at the somewhat guilty black-haired girl and explained dutifully, "The golden beam will only appear when the mark appears. It wraps around three times, and the effect is unknown."
"Speaking of which, how did you lift the curse, Aurora? Can you tell me?" Reborn asked after a moment of silence.
"Well, since it's an agreement, I can't go into too much detail, but..."
The player glanced obscurely at Alia, who closed her eyes in prayer, and said, "The reason my pacifier fell off is because someone helped me sort out the gathered power."
"That kind of power will only appear once in the world, so..." The player's implication was obvious.
"Really?" Reborn pondered.
"Alas." The sound of Colnillo's sigh was very obvious in the extremely silent Namimori Shrine.
“…Ahem.”
The sudden cough attracted everyone's attention.
"What's wrong, Alia? Are you okay?" The player looked at Alia who suddenly started coughing and quickly supported her.
The other Rainbow Children also cast concerned glances.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Alia shook her head, looked at the golden pacifier in her hand, and said with a smile, "I can feel a gentle and mysterious power from it, just like the feeling Aurora gave me."
"Although I don't know what use it will have..." Alya returned the golden pacifier to the black-haired girl with a soothing look on her face, "But at the same time, there's no need to worry about the power inside causing harm to Tsunayoshi-kun and the others."
"Then I'm relieved, but speaking of which... can I use this pacifier? Directly injecting the Flame of Death doesn't seem to work." After hearing that there was no harm, the player, who was completely relieved, tilted his head and asked.
“…” Reborn’s expression changed slightly when he recalled what Lal Milch did ten years later.
"It can only be used when the situation is extremely critical, and requires a certain level of awareness," Alia explained.
Once the moment comes, the pacifier holder will naturally understand.
Alia did not point this out directly.
"Once Sawada Tsunayoshi and the others have collected all seven seals, perhaps something will change."
"Really?" The player looked at the golden pacifier that had returned to his hand, thinking.
However, this speculation can only be verified after Sawada Tsunayoshi and others collect all seven seals.
The topic returned to the original starting point, which is...
"What kind of test will that guy, Willdi, conduct..."
