Chapter 73: The scene in Namimori Town Ten Years of Bazooka ~ Hit!
"Prison Temple...?"
After knocking on the door, Hayato Gokudera walked in. Sawada Tsunayoshi looked him over and asked, "What are you doing?"
Today's Prison Temple seems...
Very energetic?
"Ah, the tenth generation." Although the other party was restrained, he could still hear the unexpected strong voice in the answer, which made Sawada Tsunayoshi more certain that it was not his illusion.
He hadn't seen Hayato Gokudera like this for a long time. Time had gradually erased his reckless and impulsive qualities.
It was replaced by depression, regret and irritability that could not be driven away.
Even if Bai Lan was defeated and everything that hadn't happened was stopped, it would still be the same.
The Hayato Gokudera in front of him was closer to the appearance he remembered ten years ago, not in terms of appearance, but in his spirit from the inside out, which gave people a feeling that was different from usual.
It was like finding something worth studying, and the youthful spirit burst forth anew.
"I have something to report to you." As he said this, Hayato Gokudera placed a laptop in front of Tsunayoshi Sawada.
Is it...data monitoring of the Death Flame?
It was rare for Sawada Tsunayoshi to be confused by the actions of his subordinates.
"I've attached the Death Flame to the document and am monitoring the flame's activity in real time. Once it's opened, a display will appear on the computer," Hayato Gokudera added, noticing Sawada Tsunayoshi looking at him. "Actually, the document only contains a few pages of unimportant data reports."
Sawada Tsunayoshi took a moment to reflect on the meaning of Hayato Gokudera's words, then shifted his gaze to the screen: "I do this for..."
The Flame of Death can be used as an anti-counterfeiting alternative to sealing wax. If it is a relatively rare large sky attribute, it can be used to verify the identity of the sender.
This method is also used to transmit secrets within the Vongola.
Hayato Gokudera emphasized that the information in the document was not important.
Considering the objects that Hayato Gokudera has been focusing on recently, his intention in doing so becomes clear.
"...I asked her to hand the document over to you. If the document is opened in the middle, there will be enough reason to doubt her position." Hayato Gokudera pursed his lips.
As expected, Sawada Tsunayoshi disagreed.
"The very act of testing others is a violation of mutual trust."
Besides... who would take the bait with such an obvious temptation!
Hayato Gokudera said that he was pretending that the box weapon needed repair and went to Spana for maintenance so that the other party would not suspect him.
Not much better...
"If it's a misjudgment..."
A furrow of forbearance appeared between Hayato Gokudera's brows. He turned his head away, but there was no hint of a joke in his expression. "I will personally apologize to her and ask for her forgiveness."
"This is not a reason to do this..." Sawada Tsunayoshi said helplessly, and he began to sigh.
“Ding ding—ding ding—”
The computer suddenly made a rapid sound, and the two people's attention was instantly drawn to it.
Tsunayoshi Sawada was not as excited as Hayato Gokudera at all, and only felt it was ridiculous.
Some people will really take the bait!
"Tenth generation, the flame reaction I left behind has disappeared." Hayato Gokudera concluded.
The disappearance of the fire of death means...
The file was opened.
The alarm was triggered, and Hayato Gokudera was shocked. His green eyes, which were stained by the gloomy environment, suddenly burst into a bright look.
"Ha...there really is a problem."
He said in a tone that said, "As expected," and turned back sharply: "Tenth generation!"
…………
…
Fushimi Kyoji: "..."
The document that was handed to the player by Hayato Gokudera earlier was closed, and the flame of death that was supposed to be burning on it was nowhere to be seen.
When Sawada Tsunayoshi and Gokudera Hayato arrived, this was the first scene they saw.
No one spoke first to break the deadlock.
Until Hayato Gokudera lost control of himself, his eyes moving back and forth, and finally fixed: "...Stupid cow, why are you here?"
"Good day, Vongola, and stupid Gokudera." Rambo, who was standing opposite the player, greeted the two people lazily.
"and……"
Hayato Gokudera ignored Rambo's greeting, subconsciously took a step forward, his eyes fixed on the folder in Rambo's hand, and asked word by word with gritted teeth.
"You still have it... Did you open it?"
"Ah." Rambo agreed nonchalantly, but then shrank back when he noticed the terrifying aura surrounding Gokudera Hayato. His nonchalant attitude became less certain, and his remaining eye flickered. "What, what's wrong?"
Gokudera Hayato took a deep breath and turned towards the player. "So, you're going to hand over the confidential documents to... this guy?"
The intelligent AI in the base that guides players seems to have a sleep time. No matter how we call it today, there is no response.
The player couldn't find the leader's office, so Fushimi Kyoki pointed at Rambo and said, "I remember him as the Guardian of Thunder."
Gokudera Hayato's aura cooled down as if someone had thrown a basin of water in his face. For the first time, his brows, which had always shown that he was not someone to be trifled with, were no longer lowered in annoyance, and he took the initiative to look away.
He did say that it must be handed over to the Tenth Generation or the Guardians.
"Hehehe, important confidential documents must of course be handed over to the strongest guardian of the Vongola." He unceremoniously accepted the title of the strongest guardian, then opened the document again and scanned the text on it with his open eye, "Hmm... Why is it, uh!"
"Tsk, what are you doing causing trouble, you stupid cow..." Rambo's voice abruptly stopped and disappeared under the 'caress' of Hayato Gokudera.
Fushimi Kyoki confirmed with Sawada Tsunayoshi: "Is it okay for them to be like this?
Wow, is that a chokehold?
As if accustomed to such situations, Sawada Tsunayoshi explained skillfully: "Haha, don't worry, Mukudera is just joking with Rambo. They used to play like this when they were young. Mukudera and Rambo have always had a good relationship."
The player nodded thoughtfully, and sighed with great inquisitiveness that it was rare to meet such close friends in real life.
"We have such a close relationship that we can even armbar each other. What an enviable friendship."
Sawada Tsunayoshi was stunned for a moment, then he became uncertain when he saw Rambo running towards him in a panic: "We've always had a good relationship... maybe?"
"Tsuna! Ahh ...
Fushimi Kyoji turned his face away. Apart from his appearance, his personality was exactly the same as it was ten years ago.
And he is the kind of naughty child who is very difficult to deal with.
Rambo's idea of throwing himself into a reliable embrace to find peace of mind was shattered. Gokudera Hayato grabbed his collar and pulled him behind him.
"Be, patient..."
Lei Shou lowered his head and talked to himself in a voice that was about to cry.
The next second, he raised a bazooka that he had taken out from somewhere in one hand and aimed it at Hayato Gokudera.
It was the rocket launcher that Hayato Gokudera showed to the players.
It is said that one can exchange a person with his/her future self ten years later.
I have witnessed how Rambo, who was only a few years old, suddenly appeared in a strange puff of smoke and turned into the elegant, lazy but difficult Rambo he is today, with no difference in personality.
Being able to see the exchange process was a first for Fushimi Kyoji.
Closing one eye will greatly affect the accuracy of aiming, for example now - crying for revenge and saying that he wants to kill Hayato Gokudera, but the muzzle of the gun is pointing directly in the direction of the player and Tsunayoshi Sawada.
With a "bang", without giving anyone a chance to calm down, Rambo had already pulled the trigger, and at the same time he was knocked back by the recoil of the ten-year rocket launcher.
"--Tenth generation, be careful!" Hayato Gokudera looked nervous and pounced towards Tsunayoshi Sawada, shouting at the top of his lungs.
Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at Gokudera Hayato who was rushing towards him with great momentum, and answered him weakly but seriously: "If you stand still, I will be safe."
He is no longer the "useless guy" who was so clumsy that he couldn't even catch the ball flying towards him.
In Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes, the speed of the cannonball was extremely slow and he could avoid it by turning sideways.
The moment he wanted to rely on his body's instinct to avoid it, Sawada Tsunayoshi remembered that there was a player standing next to him.
He dodged and the opponent was about to be hit.
...At worst, I'll be sent to five minutes into the future, ten years later.
Thinking of this, he gave up the idea of hiding and stood still.
“Boom!”
An unexpected incident occurred that no one present had anticipated. The ceiling above their heads split open from the middle to both sides.
The closest players and Sawada Tsunayoshi both sensed movement above their heads and subconsciously looked up.
Player Dizzy: ...Is that a piano above their heads?
Ah, the coffee table.
After it fell, Fushimi Kyo confirmed it.
The falling coffee table did not affect anyone else, including the players, but hit Sawada Tsunayoshi accurately.
Reborn, who appeared along with the coffee table, took a leisurely sip of his coffee and said calmly, "You're in the way, stupid Tsuna."
“…” Sawada Tsunayoshi couldn’t make a sound and raised his arms tremblingly.
At the same time, the Ten Years Bazooka shells flew towards the only player still standing.
Bang...
“…”
It doesn't hurt at all when it hits my body.
It feels like being hit by a yoga ball.
Fushimi Kyoji looked at the pink smoke spreading around him with curiosity, as well as Sawada Tsunayoshi, who remained conscious despite being pinned down by a coffee table that fell from the sky, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab the player.
The scene was frozen when Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes widened slightly and a look of surprise flashed across his face.
"*loading...loading..."
The game suddenly flashed loading text.
"*Loading new scene, please do not exit midway..."
There seemed to be a momentary pause in the middle, and the next second, the expression in those gentle brown eyes became lively again.
No, not Caton.
It is two very similar faces overlapping each other, with the same unexpected expression, but the latter one is more vivid and has a larger range of expression.
Fushimi Kyoji felt a strong sense of weightlessness, and the distance between him and the other person became closer.
"Ouch, hiss! It hurts..." When someone hit him from behind, he almost instinctively cried out in pain.
The player was hit by a 10-year rocket launcher in front, so this is...
Fushimi Kyoji sat on the other person and began to think.
Timeline ten years ago?
The short hair seemed much softer than it would be ten years later, and it lay harmlessly on the side of his face. Sawada Tsunayoshi raised his head with difficulty, trying to see the figure that had hit him.
He endures the discomfort of having his internal organs compressed by a heavy object and tries hard to identify which person of the opposite sex the player's face matches.
But obviously failed.
The girl dropped from the sky and sat on his waist. She smiled at him with a smile so bright that it was not meant to be shown to a stranger. She said cheerfully, "Hello, Vongola."
Sawada Tsunayoshi was barely breathing, and spoke in a weak tone as if he would die in the next second:
"If you could just get off me, I should be fine."
