Chapter 373: The Mystery of Reborn's Disappearance...
Reborn's thoughts did not last long.
Because Elena showed up.
"Elena! You're here!" The player, who had originally had a sullen expression, suddenly smiled brightly upon seeing his close friend. The domineering aura that had gradually emerged from the conversation about serious matters also quietly dissipated during the low conversation with the blonde woman.
"Aurora, you change so quickly..." Sawada Tsunayoshi complained.
This is the legendary woman recorded in the history of the Vongola family, the one who founded the Vongola family together with the First Vongola and who can guide the family's future direction...
Ms. Elena...
"I never thought that I would meet you one day. It is really an honor for me." The ninth generation nodded slightly, and while introducing himself, he also expressed his respect to the lady.
"I didn't expect to see you, Ninth Daeme." Elena chuckled, "But time seems to have brought more changes than just this."
"Ah, that seems to be the case." The ninth generation smiled slightly and agreed with her statement.
Player: “…”
They all look like they are smiling, but I just can't understand what they are saying. Are they playing some kind of riddle?
"Chief, they're alluding to the guy you met today." Seeing the confusion in the black-haired girl's eyes, Dazai leaned close to her ear and whispered, "After all, wasn't this meeting caused by him?"
Oh~, so that's how it is. The player nodded in sudden realization, but then his expression froze again. Wait, how did the Great Teacher know about this?
Didn’t this happen recently?
"Hmm~, of course I have my own way~" Dazai Osamu seemed to understand what the leader was thinking, but he just snorted and kept the suspense.
Player: “…”
Okay, naughty teacher.
The player looked at him helplessly and lovingly, chose to ignore the matter, and joined the discussion again.
When the leader looked at him, Dazai Osamu subconsciously touched his arm, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.
Could it be that I've been eating too many crabs lately? Or am I suffering from a severe cold?
In an instant, this question flashed through Dazai Osamu's mind as he was gradually led astray by his leader.
…
…
The scene before me was a very 'adult' one.
Sawada Tsunayoshi thought.
Aside from him, everyone else had a serious expression, their eyes gleaming with something he found unfamiliar. Even Aurora's companion, the man he occasionally found creepy, Mr. Dazai Osamu, had managed to subside his exaggerated expression. Although he looked difficult to get along with, he actually seemed much more genuine than when they first met...
Wait a minute, what's going on in his head? It's a mess!
Sawada Tsunayoshi rubbed his eyes, took a deep breath, and was about to make an excuse to slip away when he heard the ninth generation, who had fallen silent, speak again.
"So, I'll leave this matter to you, Tsunayoshi." After some open and covert discussions, the ninth generation came to this conclusion.
"Eh?! Me?!" Sawada Tsunayoshi came back to his senses with his eyes wide open, pointing at himself in disbelief, "Isn't this what Aurora discovered?"
What happened? Why did it suddenly involve him?
"We're here to participate in the Vongola Succession Ceremony. We have no plans to do anything else—" The player looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi's surprised expression and said with a smile, "Of course, if Tsunayoshi-kun needs us, we'd be happy to help."
As for D. Spedo, players will eventually dig out the secret of his escape skill, and then... hehe.
"This matter involves the Simon family and D. Spedo, the Guardian of the Mist of the First Vongola. As an allied family of the Vongola, Aurora and the others shouldn't interfere too much," Reborn explained, standing aside. "Besides... don't you get along well with that guy named Guri Enma?"
Although I have a close relationship with Aurora and Elena, judging from their previous conversation, they don't intend to interfere too much in this matter. However, I still have to pay attention to the man who suddenly appeared out of nowhere...
D. Spedo...
"Enma..." Sawada Tsunayoshi murmured unconsciously as he thought of the young man who had many similar experiences with him.
"If it's as we suspected, then... that man's goal is most likely the Vongola succession ceremony." The Ninth Hokage looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was silent and bowed his head, and said gently, "I don't know what he wants to do specifically, but there's still some time before the ceremony. You can think about it carefully, Tsunayoshi."
"The decision is yours."
"That's right, and you also need to explain to the Simon family why their Mist Guardian, the ever-elusive member Kato Juri, appears in your hands, and in a coma."
Reborn ignored the students with wide eyes and decisively put the blame on himself for the incident with Kato Juri.
"...I understand." Finally, Sawada Tsunayoshi responded.
————————
the next day
"That's it." Sawada Tsunayoshi, who had mustered up the courage to invite Guli Enzhen to his home, raised his head and sighed, then rubbed his head and said frantically, "When your companion Kato Juri was captured by Aurora, he was following Chrom, and he was also possessed by the illusionist!"
"I don't know if you believe what I said, but, Enshin, this is all I know." Sawada Tsunayoshi thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. After all, we have only known each other for such a long time, and Juri is your partner who has been together for a longer time. But I will find a way..." to prove it.
At this moment, Gu Li Enzhen didn't know how to respond. After all, he had developed a great impression of Sawada Tsunayoshi yesterday because of his help to him, and even accidentally spoke out his true feelings. Today he heard such a thing from his mouth.
During this time, the person they've been spending time with, Kato Juri, was actually D. Spedo in disguise, and D. Spedo was actually the Guardian of the Mist during the first Vongola era?! Someone who was supposed to have been dead for centuries?!
Gu Liyanzhen: "..."
Although he felt that Tsunayoshi-kun was a different kind of mafia, and although he wanted to believe Tsunayoshi-kun, this was simply too unbelievable.
and……
If Kato Juri was D. Spedo in disguise, why did he come to help himself from the Simon family? And why did he tell him that the murderer who killed his relatives was from the Vongola family?
"As much as I want to believe you, Tsunayoshi-kun... I need to discuss this matter with Edelhayte and the others." Gu Li Yanzhen hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I'm sorry."
"Huh? Why are you apologizing to me?"
"Because I didn't believe you..."
"Isn't this normal? I can understand Yan Zhen very well!"
"Huh?" This time it was Guli Yan who was really confused.
"Because Yan Zhen and I are friends!" Sawada Tsunayoshi said loudly, "So I know Yan Zhen is in trouble, but I will try my best to prove everything I said!"
friend……
Gu Liyanzhen widened his eyes.
Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was completely unaware of the strange expression on Guli Enma's face, was still chattering about his feelings, but the next moment he was covered with his mouth by his hand.
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "..."
Sawada Tsunayoshi blinked his eyes, without struggling, but just a little confused.
"I understand, Tsunayoshi-kun!" A determination flashed in Gu Li Yanzhen's eyes, "I will reply to you as soon as possible! Tomorrow, at the latest!"
As he said that, he picked up his schoolbag and rushed towards the front door of the Sawada family, skipping three very obvious falls along the way.
"Wait a minute, Yan... Zhen?" Sawada Tsunayoshi put down his hand and muttered to himself, "Strange, what's wrong with Yan Zhen?"
"Of course I'm shy—"
"So you're shy. I thought you just didn't want to pay attention to me. Wait... Aurora?! Why are you here all of a sudden?"
"Who told you guys to chat so happily?" The player suddenly appeared, pulled out a mattress from under the bed and sat down, then greeted the bedroom's owner in a very familiar manner, "Want some coffee, Tsunayoshi-kun?"
"It's not the bitter coffee that Reborn likes to drink, but a mellow and delicious coffee that goes perfectly with a small cake."
"In that case, I'll have a drink..."
"Do you have any opinion on my taste?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "Huh!"
Frightened again, Sawada Tsunayoshi produced an emoticon package worth collecting.
"Reborn, you scared Tsunayoshi-kun." The player propped up his chin and curled his hair in boredom, not realizing that he was also a member of the Sawada Tsunayoshi scared emoticon pack. "Besides, coffee is really bitter. I'm afraid I will never get used to drinking coffee without sugar."
"Hmph, stupid Tsuna needs to be strengthened." Reborn ignored Aurora's coffee remarks. He looked at the stupid disciple with exaggerated expression and obvious emotions, and sighed pretentiously, "Really, you're scared like this because of such a small thing."
"...It's all your fault!" Sawada Tsunayoshi shouted angrily, "Please don't scare me like that!"
"I didn't mean to do that." The player straightened his back, blinked his eyes, and pretended to be pitiful. "It's mainly because I was too bored, and everyone seemed to have their own things to do. I didn't want to do that kind of patrol work, so I had no choice but to come and play with Tsunayoshi-kun."
"This is a small gift, please accept it." The player took out a piece of cake with an exquisite appearance and a lot of jam, and handed it over. "Sorry to bother you today!"
"Well, okay." Tsunayoshi Sawada, who said one thing but acted another, took the cake and muttered to himself that he hoped Aurora would not have such scary expectations next time.
Humph, that's absolutely impossible!
The player who had gotten away with it looked at the brown-haired boy's big, sparkling eyes and nodded, listening in one ear and out the other.
After chatting, the three of them turned their attention to business.
"...I've already told Yan Zhen everything that happened. He said he'll tell me the exact situation tomorrow." Sawada Tsunayoshi said expectantly, "Yan Zhen is a good person. Even if he's not part of the mafia, we can definitely become good friends!"
"It's impossible not to become the tenth generation of Vongola." Reborn said coldly, "Give up on this idea, stupid Tsuna."
"There's no way I'm going to let my career be tarnished."
"Why is this happening? I told you I don't want to be a member of the mafia!"
"Humph, that's not something I want to consider."
"Reborn!"
"Stop, stop, stop! We'll discuss this next time." The dizzy player crossed his arms, interrupting the meaningless discussion between the master and apprentice, and firmly redirected the topic. "So, Yan Zhen was convinced by you? Although the boy seemed a little taciturn, he doesn't seem to be an easy target for persuasion."
That red-haired boy who also likes to fall flat on his face is actually a very stubborn guy at heart...
"Well! Since Yan Zhen agreed, he will definitely do it!" Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded, believing what his friend said very much.
"Well, Tsuna does have some advantages when it comes to judging people." Reborn praised his silly disciple for once, then said, "It's just that this matter isn't that simple, so it's better to be cautious."
Reborn's words seemed to be just a reminder to prepare for a rainy day, but what they didn't expect was that they never saw Gu Li Yan Zhen again the next day.
Until the third day, which was the eve of the Vongola succession ceremony...
