Chapter 260 We finally meet, but...where's D? ...
Yamamoto Takeshi's trial went very smoothly. He fully demonstrated his strength to the first Guardian of the Rain, Asari Ugetsu, and stopped at the right time. When Asari Ugetsu asked him why he did this, the black-haired boy just said this.
"Ask me why I did this? Well... because I just wanted to do it."
Yamamoto Takeshi looked at his worried friends below, paused, and said with a smile, "Because my sword exists to protect my friends. If you have no murderous intentions towards me, I shouldn't have challenged you with that intention."
"Really? That's right." Chao Liyuyue smiled slightly, "I can feel that what you said is sincere and does not go against your heart, Yamamoto Takeshi."
"As the guardian of rain, you must stick to your heart and remain calm. Otherwise, even if the bond between you and your companions is strong, without the nourishment of rain, what will become of it?" Chao Li Yuyue reminded.
Yamamoto Takeshi's eyes narrowed as he drew parallels with Asari Ugetsu's words. He said solemnly, "...I see. I understand! Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Ugetsu!"
"Then... I agree that you can inherit the Rain Guardian. If you are the one, you will definitely be able to fulfill the position of Rain Guardian. Please accept this power I give you. It will surely help you in a critical moment."
After returning to the ground, he nodded to Li Yuyue and transformed into a blue flame again, handing the inherited power to Yamamoto Takeshi's Vongola box.
"Thank you, Mr. Ugetsu!" Yamamoto Takeshi clenched the Vongola box in his hand, waved happily to his companions nearby, and shouted, "Tsuna, teacher, I succeeded!"
"Great, Yamamoto-san has successfully passed the test!" said Sawada Tsunayoshi happily.
"Oh! Yamamoto, you performed very well!" Sasagawa Ryohei shouted excitedly.
"Tsk, that guy barely passed." Hayato Gokudera folded his arms and glanced to the side.
"Don't thank me. I was moved by your actions." Looking at the somewhat excited Yamamoto Takeshi, he smiled gently at Li Yuyue, and then walked without hesitation towards the direction of the blonde woman who had been waiting for a long time not far away.
Chao Li Yuyue: "Are you going to meet Yishi and the others? Elena, they all miss you very much, especially..."
Elena shook her head obscurely, stopping him from saying anything else, and said, "If I go with you, it might delay Shishi and the others' trials. Let's forget it, but..."
"This is my current address. You're welcome to visit me during your breaks." Elena handed the address of the Fantasy Villa to the young man in hunting clothes, stroked his hair, and said, "If there's anything else you want to know, I'll tell you then."
"...I understand. You still consider the overall situation. I will tell Yishi about this matter first and let him make the judgment."
Asari Ugetsu accepted the note, nodded to everyone, then turned into a blue flame and disappeared into the Namimori Shrine.
Elena's presence here must be told to Giotto as soon as possible, not only because this matter is unusual, but also because of the matter between Elena and D...
"Well done, Yamamoto." The player patted the black-haired boy's shoulder and praised him. "But I'm a little curious. Judging from the way you looked during the day, you definitely won't be able to pass this level."
"Would you mind telling me what happened after I left?"
"...It's nothing, just like a normal day."
Yamamoto Takeshi smiled awkwardly and touched his nose, but he recalled with rare joy: "For example, Mukudera's sister suddenly appeared, causing Mukudera to faint with joy; for example, Rambo and Ippei appeared in front of us and started their bomb-throwing game; for example, Hibari suddenly appeared in front of us, and Ippei's face turned red again..."
"Although these are common occurrences, I feel happier and happier, and I've suddenly figured out some things."
Yamamoto Takeshi clenched the Shigure Kintoki in his hand and said with a sharp look in his eyes, "Teacher Aurora is right. Don't forget the original intention when you swung the sword."
"I'll always remember this!"
[Congratulations to the player for reaching 50% completion of the personal quest "Master of Success" and receiving the following rewards: Experience points, Gold, and 1 Four Soul Jade...]
[Congratulations to the player for reaching level 87]
Player: “!!!”
We are only one level away from forming a team to carry out the mission of saving the world. This is such a pleasant surprise!
"That's the right thing to think about, Yamamoto." The player looked at his true apprentice and said with relief, "Things like this, discovering them yourself is often much more effective than others reminding you."
"Congratulations, you've successfully passed the test." The player stretched out his hand.
"Ah, thank you for your teaching all the time, Teacher Aurora." Yamamoto Takeshi stretched out his hand very neatly, high-fived the black-haired girl and smiled.
"It's getting late, let's go back and rest." Reborn's voice floated into the ears of the player and Yamamoto Takeshi from a distance. The two then realized that their companions had almost gone to a place where they could no longer be seen, so they hurriedly quickened their pace to catch up.
"Really, Tsunayoshi-kun, why didn't you wait for me? Elena is like this too!"
"Well, it was Reborn who told us to leave first..." Sawada Tsunayoshi glanced at his tutor secretly, obviously feeling helpless, "He said not to worry about you and Yamamoto..."
"What? Reborn, how can you say that? We came here together—" The player looked at the calm black-haired boy sitting in the scooter in front of him and said unhappily, "Forget about Yamamoto, but how could you just abandon me and walk away!"
"Hey, teacher..." Hearing the black-haired girl say this, Yamamoto Takeshi stretched out his hand, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Reborn: “…”
Reborn: "Swish, swish, swish..."
Player: “…”
"Um, Aurora, Reborn seems to have fallen asleep." Looking at the expression on the black-haired girl's face, Tsunayoshi Sawada said cautiously.
"Who would believe it! He's always like this, falling asleep at the critical moment! Tell me, Tsunayoshi-kun, would you believe it?!" The player yelled, grabbed Reborn's disciple, and began to shake him hard.
"Wow, I don't believe it either, but why am I the unlucky one again..." Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was grabbed by the shoulders and unable to escape, cried out this sentence skillfully with a sad face.
Why...why does he always take the blame for Reeve?
"Ahhh! Aurora! What are you doing?!" Hayato Gokudera rushed over and grabbed her hand, shouting, "How could you do this to the Tenth Generation! Let go!"
"What should I do? I can't go shake Reborn! I don't dare!" The player said this very confidently, and then grabbed the hedgehog-headed boy's hand even harder.
"Arm, arm! Be gentler...wuwu..." After discovering that Hayato Gokudera had gotten involved, Sawada Tsunayoshi's arm became even more painful and said with tears in his eyes.
"I don't know what you are doing, but... it's really the limit! I want to join in too!" Ryohei Sasakawa looked at the lively scene in front of him and shouted.
"Wait a minute, Lawnhead...!"
"Wait a minute, Senior...!"
After discovering that Sasagawa Ryohei, who liked to rush around, was running towards them, Hayato Gokudera and Takeshi Yamamoto hurried to stop him, but it was too late.
The people who fell into a heap did not notice that the black-haired boy, who was originally asleep, had a barely noticeable smile of joy at the corner of his lips.
————————
Although the process was chaotic, everyone finally returned to their respective homes safely.
The fact that Yamamoto Takeshi passed the test undoubtedly set a good example for everyone, but no one knew who would be the next to take the test, so they could only conserve their energy and wait for the test to come.
After noticing that the lights opposite were off, Elena quietly got up and went to the hall on the first floor, but she smiled knowingly when she found tea and snacks prepared in the living room.
Then she sat on the sofa and began a long wait.
Although they haven't seen each other for a long time, based on her understanding of Yu Yue and Giotto, if nothing unexpected happens, she will be able to see Giotto and G tonight.
But... I wonder if after Yu Yue conveys the message, she will be able to see the person she wants to see the most...
However, even though she was mentally prepared, after actually seeing her old friend, Elena's expression was much more complicated than she had imagined.
"Long time no see, Giotto, G, Yuyue, my guess turned out to be correct." Elena tucked the loose hair behind her ears and smiled slightly, "It seems that the passing of time has not washed away the tacit understanding between us."
Putting aside Asari Ugetsu, who had already completed the test, Giotto and G were inseparable. Once Giotto made a move, G, who always cared about Giotto's safety, would definitely follow. Arnold was a maverick, Knuckle pursued perfection in everything, and D was like a mist...
Therefore, when Yu Yue decided to tell Giotto about this in advance, the person who would come to find out the truth had already been decided.
Well, Chiyo doesn't know these things.
Elena looked at the eight cups of tea on the table and smiled brightly.
Giotto: "..."
G: “…”
No matter how many times he tried, his super intuition always told him only one thing - there was no mistake, it was her, it must be her, the person in front of him must be Elena, who had established the Self-Defense Force with them!
"...It's really you, Elena." Giotto's golden-orange pupils rippled. He stepped forward and held the blonde woman's hands, but when he felt the warmth in her hands, he suddenly jumped back.
"I didn't expect to see you again... I..." Giotto was silent for a long time before he whispered, "I... I'm sorry, Elena."
"After not seeing each other for so long, your first words are going to be sorry, Giotto?" Elena looked at G who was obviously still in a state of confusion not far away, and shook her head helplessly.
Giotto lowered his head even lower.
"Are you really Elena? But you are not...how could you...?" The decisive red-haired man also became hesitant at this moment.
"Calm down quickly. I will tell you everything. In fact, the reason I can walk outside in this state is because of this thing."
Elena took out the gold pocket watch she had requested from Kamikami Chiyo. Looking at the stunned expressions of the three men before her, she said, "Although I'm dead, my soul seems to have been sleeping peacefully here until I made a deal with a mysterious voice and was awakened by the peacefully sleeping child upstairs."
"Child? Doing a deal? It won't have any bad effects on you, right?" When they heard this, their expressions suddenly became stern, and they immediately grasped the key point and asked.
"Ah, don't worry, the deal is that I can use the child's power to walk outside, and I just need to take good care of her." Elena looked at the ceiling, as if she wanted to see the black-haired girl resting there through the heavy material.
She sighed softly and said, "That's a good child. Sometimes, I feel that she has worked so hard that I can't help but want someone to take care of her more."
"That child named Aurora, the one with the aerodynamic flame?" Giotto nodded slightly, pondering, "That child... seems to have some residual power from Arcobaleno."
Moreover, his intuition told him that the child was not as simple as he thought...
"She has two names, but I'm used to calling her the other one."
As Elena explained, she approved of Giotto's guess: "You are right, Giotto. Although it is only a remnant, Chiyo was once cursed by Arcobaleno, but it was lifted in a special way."
"That child seems to be the teacher of the Tenth Generation of Rain Guardian. I think she is very dedicated to her duties." Yu Yue remembered the black-haired girl's advice and silent hints to the black-haired boy when he was secretly observing, and smiled with his hands covering his lips.
"A child who has always been an apprentice will naturally treat it with caution when he becomes a teacher for the first time." Elena said lovingly.
Silent G: “…”
Weren't we supposed to be catching up on the past? Why did we end up talking about that girl?
