Chapter 176: On the eve of the battle of the sky! On the other side, following...
On the other side, the player who followed Reborn's force to the cherry tree saw him standing on the stone without saying a word. He silently opened the lunch box and prepared a portion for Reborn.
Although there are no cherry blossoms this season, the scenery here is still beautiful and very suitable for a picnic!
"Want some food, Reborn?" the player poked the brooding black-haired kid and said, "Freshly baked dumplings with shrimp filling!"
Reborn came to his senses and looked at Aurora, who was sitting there eating lunch without any thought that she had said anything shocking, and his mouth turned down.
This idiot who only knows how to laugh foolishly...
"Is what you just said true?" The black-haired boy jumped down from the rock, took the fried dumplings handed to him by the girl, and asked casually.
"What are you asking?" The player chewed for a moment, preparing two drinks. "But I don't think I've ever lied."
Probably not, right? The player thought uncertainly.
"About your background."
"I……"
"Don't lie, girl." Reborn leaned slightly to the side, his dark eyes gazing at the pensive black-haired girl. "You should be well aware of my abilities."
"Well, that's it." The player's fingers restlessly tried to poke Reborn's temples, but he instantly pulled them down. "He wears a white shirt and opens his eyes in a garbage dump. As for parents, he doesn't really have any."
Come to think of it, the game doesn't even give players parents or anything like that. Players are left without parents and no resources, and yet they only get one big gift pack at the start, and have to accumulate all the rest of their gear?!
White clothes..., garbage dump...
Reborn, confirming once again that Aurora wasn't lying, pondered her words for a moment. Then, with a slightly raised voice and a hint of doubt, he raised his head and asked, "Human experiment?"
Is this the reason why you hate human experiments so much?
"Human experiments? Where? Are you out doing odd jobs?" The distracted player feeding Len was completely unaware of Reborn's complex mental journey. "If you're going on a mission, can you take me with you?"
"Ah! Why are you hitting me?!" The player, covering his head, looked at Len with an accusing look on his face, who hit him on the head and then recovered instantly.
Len looked away guiltily.
"Oh, I don't know why, but looking at your face suddenly makes me angry." Reborn said in a very cute voice, "In order to make me feel better, please bear with it for a while."
"Hate it! You know I'm wronged..." The player lay depressed on the grass, pulling at the grass and mumbling softly. Finally, he focused a little, "Human experiment..."
"Come to think of it, some of my subordinates were victims of human experiments. One of them was a man who diligently believed that I was his sister."
Subordinates? Wasn't Aurora always just one person plus the black cat? Where did the subordinates come from?
Also, the man who treated Aurora as his sister... could he be a test subject?
Reborn glanced sideways, as if thinking about something.
It seems the reasons are complicated, I still need to find more clues...
"But he and I look nothing like each other. He has blond hair and blue eyes, a foreign look, while I have black hair and golden eyes. That guy almost knocked me down. If I hadn't been more skilled..." Thinking of the battle with Weilun, the player is still a little scared.
Thanks to Uni, the players discovered Weilun's flaw in advance!
"In short, I have solved them all!" The player skipped the middle steps and came to the conclusion directly.
"Nothing else to say?" Reborn asked.
"The rest?" The player recalled, "Then I destroyed that lab!"
If you ask about the follow-up, players really don’t know.
"It's not surprising that you've taken someone who was once an enemy into your employ." Reborn carefully observed the black-haired girl's expression. Knowing he couldn't ask her any more questions, he sighed and looked at the dimming sky. "Let's go."
"Where are you going?" The player, with messy hair, was a little confused and had no idea that he had skipped classes for the whole afternoon.
"Let's go back. School is over now." Reborn turned his back to the girl. "You've been here all afternoon, Aurora."
"The agreed time is almost here - the battle for the ring between Tsuna and Xanxus."
"What? So fast?" The player stood up instantly and followed Reborn's footsteps.
"It seems that life in school is not that hard after all~" The player covered his eyes with his hands, walked beside Reborn, and sighed that the day passed by so quickly.
"Really? Then remember to go to school tomorrow, Aurora." Reborn snorted.
"What? Why?" the player asked frantically.
"Junior high school students have to go to school," Reborn said. "Besides, the admission notice you signed says you can't drop out, right?"
"What? How do you know?" The player paused, remembering that before signing the admission letter, he was distracted for a while by some inexplicable noise downstairs.
The player who suddenly reacted: "..."
"Reborn! Is that you?" Seeing the black-haired boy in front of him subtly quickening his pace, the player angrily chased after him, "Stop! Explain yourself!"
"Well, is that so?" Reborn said something ambiguous and disappeared from the sight of the black-haired girl.
"As expected of a killer, you're really fast." Looking at the rapidly moving green dot on the map, the player swung his hands and chased in the direction of the green dot. "Reborn, when I catch up to you, I want you to give me an explanation!"
Reborn, who had already walked some distance away, heard her angry voice and pressed down the brim of his hat to cover the curve of his lips.
————————
In the end, they still didn't catch him——
The player was breathlessly looking at Reborn, who remained calm and gave instructions to the hedgehog-haired boy in front of him. It seemed that he had just been drinking tea and eating snacks instead of engaging in a fierce chase. He felt very tired.
Without using other player items and relying solely on personal stats, the player was completely helpless against Reborn, whose strength had been weakened by the Arcobaleno curse.
Reborn, who was being stared at, seemed to be aware of it and glanced at her vaguely from the side.
"Damn it, next time I will definitely..." The player who was successfully provoked by this look lowered his head and gritted his teeth.
"Teacher Aurora, how are you?" Yamamoto Takeshi looked at the exhausted girl and supported her with some concern.
"I... I'm fine." The player waved his hand. "Training... Yeah, I'm just training."
Damn it! Such a shameful thing...
You must never embarrass yourself in front of your apprentice!
"Training?" Following Teacher Aurora's gaze, Takeshi Yamamoto saw Reborn.
Is it the little baby from Tsuna's family...?
"Ahem, let's not talk about this for now. Am I late?" The player adjusted his hastily changed clothes and cleared his throat. "This is a rare big scene—the battle between Tsunayoshi-kun and that young man named Xanxus."
"Of course." Yamamoto Takeshi picked up the bamboo sword leaning against the table, put it behind his back, and said, "It's better to say that the teacher came at the right time."
"Because, we are not the only ones who are ready." The short black-haired boy looked at the brown-haired boy standing in the center, who had changed into Len's special clothing and had a firm look in his eyes. His smile grew wider. "Our BOSS is ready."
Yamamoto Takeshi's boss, Sawada Tsunayoshi...
"Let's go." Being watched by everyone, Sawada Tsunayoshi picked up the pair of gloves with the '27' mark and put them on his hands, his eyes determined, "Let's go to school now--!"
"Tsunayoshi-kun is so impressive." The player nudged Yamamoto Takeshi's elbow. "Isn't that right, apprentice?"
"Well, Tsuna is that kind of person." Yamamoto Takeshi smiled and followed the hedgehog-haired boy out of the room.
"Oh my, this room is really full of unpolished gems." Looking at the tall and straight young men, the player sighed sincerely, and then thought of his group of subordinates with 'strange shapes and distinct personalities'.
"But my subordinates are also superb!"
"The bandage-clad guy who likes suicide, the pervert who likes young girls, the brother-con who is obsessed with harassing his younger brother, the cuckoo who can't write a chapter in a week, the three-glass guy who likes red wine, the Frenchman who is obsessed with leaving early..." The player nodded and followed.
Excellent, really excellent.
————————
After the players arrived at the school, they were surprised to find that all the troops from both sides were present - not only that, the guardians of both sides were assigned one-to-one to various places in Namimori Middle School according to the properties of the Death Flame!
"Ah, my, my, what's going on?" The player put away his bamboo dragonfly and dropped from the sky to Sawada Tsunayoshi's side. He poked the hedgehog-haired boy and asked, "Isn't the battle between Sawada Tsunayoshi and that xanxus on the opposite side supposed to take place tonight? And now this situation..."
"Is this going to be a one-on-one brawl?" The player's imagination ran wild based on the situation on the scene.
"Cherbero and the others said that the battle between the Sky Rings concerns the lives of the other rings and the Guardians, so all the Guardians must be present, but why..." Sawada Tsunayoshi clenched his fists and looked at his companions on the monitor with worry.
"Wow..." The player nodded, seemingly understanding something.
"Oh, isn't this Miss Aurora? Long time no see~~" A rippling voice sounded in the player's ears. The player remained calm, picked up a pistol filled with rubber bullets, and randomly fired two bullets in the direction of the sound.
"That was a close call!" Xia Maer dodged the two bullets nimbly and breathed a sigh of relief despite being still in shock.
"It's not over yet." The player smiled and watched the bullet that broke through the ground hit Shamal's butt.
"Are you surprised, Shamal?"
Seeing the familiar moves, Reborn raised his eyebrows.
This is a special move that Reborn is very good at. Although Aurora has only learned one form of it, it is enough to be used as a deterrent.
Suspended in mid-air by Farouk's power, Coronillo, taking it all in, looked at Shamar with some admiration. This couldn't be the first time he'd suffered at the hands of Aurora, and yet he could still hold his nerve like this. What a warrior...
"Colonelo? And Shamal? And Bajir? Why are you here too?" Tsunayoshi Sawada asked in shock as he looked at the sudden appearance of the people.
"Don't worry, Tsunayoshi-kun! They are all here to cheer you up!" The player smiled brightly. "As for Shamal, he must be here to reminisce about the past. I'm going to have a good chat with him right now—"
"Oh...oh oh." Looking at the terrifying aura emanating from the black-haired girl, Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded subconsciously.
"I originally wanted to come over and boo you, but... come on, Sawada Tsunayoshi." Colano nodded and directed Faruge to fly over to watch the show.
Aurora has a lot of interesting props...
"Come on, Lord Tsunayoshi!" Bajir smiled brightly and gave his sincere blessings.
"...Yes! I will try my best!" Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded vigorously.
For the sake of the ninth generation... and for the sake of his companions..., he absolutely cannot lose this battle!
At this moment, something unexpected happened——!
