Chapter 77: Namimori Town: Book signing event in the hospital ward...? ...
"ciaos~" The other party greeted her in Italian with slightly inaccurate pronunciation.
The baby is only as tall as a human calf, but behaves as seriously as a little adult, which makes people feel a sense of cuteness in contrast.
"Excuse me, what can I do for you?" Fushimi Kyoji half-knelt in front of the baby, so that the baby's eyes were almost level with hers, and she didn't need to keep looking up in a laborious posture to talk to the player.
The discipline committee member who was suspected to be "Six Path Mukuro" saw that Yamamoto Takeshi had an attitude of not wanting to fight him, and finally took a last look at the baby, turned around and left without saying a word.
Yamamoto Takenori, who brought the people here, moved his eyes curiously between the player and the baby, paying attention to their conversation.
Fushimi Kyoji didn't get an immediate response, and the baby took a few steps closer to her. The distance between them was so short that it stretched out its hand, and Len, who had previously been enthusiastically hanging on the player's clothes, obediently climbed back into its owner's hand.
But you can see from his expression that he is reluctant to leave the player, and he can't help but look back at her with his round yellow-brown eyes.
"Lian likes you very much."
In response to the player's previous question, the other party avoided the question directly and talked about other things without any context.
The pair of mirror-like eyes that almost took up half of his face were dark and lifeless, but the corners of his mouth seemed to be raised as if he was in a good mood. When being stared at, an inexplicable chill would surge from behind him.
The baby in the suit finally relented and prepared to answer the player's question. It paused stroking Len's hand, and a chilling, childish voice rang out, "What's that expression on your face?"
As the one being questioned, it wouldn't feel awkward to take the initiative and question the player.
The player originally thought that she didn't show any strange expression.
When pointed out to the person himself, Fushimi Kyoki honestly replied, "...You look very different from how I remember you."
——The difference between before and after is about 160 centimeters.
It wasn't difficult to recognize that the other person was a reborn from ten years ago.
There is no other reason, you can tell a person’s character by his temples.
What confused Fushimi Kyoji was that the other party had become a very mature man in both temperament and appearance ten years later, but the reborn ten years ago was completely the image of a baby.
Growth goes by so fast during the growth period.
What happened in the past ten years?
"Reborn..." Halfway through the sentence, the player suddenly hesitated. Now she was facing Reborn as a baby. Should she still call him by his name normally?
"If you don't use the honorific, I'll beat you~"
The baby, as if it had the ability to read minds, spoke in a cheerful childish voice. Ryan transformed into a green pistol in its hand that looked no different from a toy, and raised its hand to press the black muzzle against the player's forehead.
It feels like if you don't do what it says, you'll pull the trigger at any time.
If you are the type of person who likes children, you will probably find this action cute.
Reborn made the choice for the player, and Fushimi Kyoki readily took advantage of the situation and said, "Mr. Reborn."
The gun held by Reborn's hand emitted a burst of light and then changed, returning to the form of a chameleon. This action of actively putting away the gun seemed to represent the meaning of some kind of signal being lifted.
"You seem to be very familiar with me." It said this with eyes that could not reflect any light, and the tone of its voice was subtly intriguing.
'also'?
Who is included in this range?
"Yes, we spent a short time together ten years later." Based on what Reborn told her ten years later, the player expressed her need for Vongola's assistance. "Mr. Reborn, can you take me to see Mr. Sawada?"
“…”
Reborn remained silent, staring at her with his dark eyes where the whites of his eyes could not be seen.
After a while, the corners of its mouth curled up slightly.
Reborn turned around.
"Let's go."
As he spoke, with agility that was unbelievable for a baby, he nimbly jumped onto Yamamoto Takeshi's shoulder in a few seconds, turned around and said to the players who were still standing there, "You won't find Tsuna in school."
Following Yamamoto Takeshi, Fushimi Kyoji came to the hospital.
Yamamoto Takeshi raised his hand, pushed the door open and walked into a single room.
The patient lying on the hospital bed was obviously conscious, but his face was miserable, and he didn't show the restrained aura of the future mafia leader at all.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he immediately looked over subconsciously, his warm, harmless, and trusting gaze first falling on Yamamoto Takeshi, who entered the door first, and Reborn on his shoulder.
Seeing her familiar companion, her eyes did not light up obviously, but she was stunned for a moment when she noticed Fushimi Kyoji walking in half a step slowly. The player was sure that she heard the other party utter a very light "eh".
This kind of quizzical tone can often be heard from people who are surprised by the situation - although most of them are women.
"Eh... ah!?" It can be seen from Sawada Tsunayoshi's reaction that he was indeed shocked, and it even made him forget the injuries on his waist and legs. He accidentally pulled the painful parts, and his whole face suddenly twisted and wrinkled, and his mouth kept making a 'hissing' sound like eating very hot food.
...It seems so now.
There will be nicknames like that.
In fact, it is very appropriate in some aspects.
"Yes, it's you!" After recovering from the pain, he opened his moist eyes and stammered.
"Ah, it's me." The player replied absentmindedly.
But why... did it come back to ten years ago?
Sawada Tsunayoshi's face clearly showed 'out of context'. Yamamoto Takeshi then rubbed the back of his neck and said, "It seems like there's something important that requires the Vongola's help."
Reborn took over and continued, "So, why not just bring them to the current Vongola leader?"
"Eh, is that so?"
I don't know if it's because the character's personality is inherently trusting of others, or because he's completely defenseless against his companions, but Sawada Tsunayoshi easily accepted the setting of "someone across ten years seeking help from him."
"Well, if you're looking for the leader of the Vongola, then I'm the one." He turned his head away again and said softly, "...although I'm very reluctant."
Reborn raised his gun and aimed at Sawada Tsunayoshi on the hospital bed: "Since you are so reluctant, I can send you down to see the Shodaime now. As long as you get the Shodaime's consent, you can resign."
"That means death!!!"
After protesting against the tutor's bad taste and complaining a few times, Sawada Tsunayoshi was able to turn his attention back to the relatively unfamiliar players present.
The other party's reaction made Sawada Tsunayoshi feel strange, as if he was a stranger. He was clearly right in front of him, but his eyes looked like he was trying to find someone in the ward.
Tsunayoshi Sawada was confused and spoke awkwardly and uncertainly: "Um, I am Tsunayoshi Sawada, we have met before, no..." Do you remember?
At the end of his speech, his voice lowered.
“Hmm…”
Fushimi Kyoji put his hand on his chin and looked him up and down carefully, which made him feel very uncomfortable. He slowly backed away and stood back to his original position, shaking his head: "The Sawada Tsunayoshi I met didn't have a cast on his body."
"Who is responsible for this?" Sawada Tsunayoshi couldn't help but complain with his half-moon eyes wide open.
"Tenth Daemon! Your most trusted right-hand man is here to visit you!" The ward door was violently broken open from the outside. Gokudera Hayato's high spirits obviously dropped when he saw Yamamoto Takeshi. "You are here too."
Passing by Fushimi Kyoki, he glanced at the player for a moment before offering the fruit basket to Sawada Tsunayoshi like a treasure: "Tenth Generation, this is the fruit I prepared for you. I hope you'll recover soon."
"Thank you, Gokudera." Sawada Tsunayoshi showed a gentle smile from the heart, his brown pupils moved slightly, and he did not miss the voice of Fushimi Kyoki who was almost talking to himself.
"Ah, you have to bring gifts when visiting a patient." I feel like I missed the fixed plot to improve favorability.
Sawada Tsunayoshi quickly waved his hands: "It doesn't matter if you don't have it with you... eh!?"
His voice was briefly silenced by Fushimi Kyoji's sudden approach.
Under Sawada Tsunayoshi's slightly confused and nervous gaze, the player took out a marker and, facing his hung leg, wrote and scribbled neatly on the plaster with the tip of the pen.
"It's just a small token of my appreciation, not a token of respect." said the player.
Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at the plaster with difficulty, on which someone had written the blessing "Get well soon".
This is such a small thought!
"Huh?" Gokudera Hayato pushed the man away from the seat in front of the respected Tenth Generation, examined him for a moment, and crossed his arms over his chest. "Just writing a blessing on plaster, what practical effect can it have?"
"Hey, Gokudera, that's so hurtful..." Sawada Tsunayoshi tried to dissuade him.
Fushimi Kyoji thought for a moment, erased the blessing he had written earlier, and wrote again in the blank space below:
——“Advertising space for rent”
Did the results increase profitability?
The situation is not much better than before!
"Besides," Sawada Tsunayoshi said weakly, "who would see it if it was written here?"
Hayato Gokudera seemed to be inspired by the player's behavior, because he quickly returned from outside the ward with a marker in his hand.
May the greatest and most respectable leader of the Vongola family be in good health! —Your most loyal subordinate, Hayato Gokudera.
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "..."
"Ahahaha, this sounds really interesting. What should I write?" Yamamoto Takeshi borrowed a pen from a player and rested it against his chin as he pondered, "Well, let's write this."
【Yamamoto Takeshi: Must win~】
What does this have to do with him?
There was another message on Sawada Tsunayoshi's leg.
"Hey! Reborn! Don't draw a pig's head on it, it's very hurtful!"
Dissatisfaction was completely ignored.
Fushimi Kyoji looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi's legs, which were written with no blank space left, and imagined some kind of frenzied and chaotic signing scene.
When the situation became controllable again, Sawada Tsunayoshi finally had time to ask the player the question that he was curious about during their previous meeting.
"Why do you call me 'Vongola'?"
Could it be that he will become a mafia member in the future because of his influence?!
When he thought of this possibility, Sawada Tsunayoshi resisted with all his heart.
Before the transmission, Reborn handed her a player's test report and some brief information, which Fushimi Kyoji now handed over to Reborn ten years ago.
It can be regarded as a different form of [skip], which can omit repeated plots.
——Come to think of it, why not hand it over to the Vongola leader?
Fushimi Kyoji glanced at Sawada Tsunayoshi, whose eyes turned into mosquito coils after he took the information.
The reason has probably been found.
"It feels like a hot potato..." After barely understanding the situation, Tsunayoshi Sawada analyzed it based on his previous tragic experiences and came to this conclusion. He said with a sad face, wanting to cry but unable to.
"but,"
He paused.
"We will do our best to cooperate with ourselves ten years later and send Fushimi back to the world that Fushimi is familiar with."
His expression was so serious and infectious that it made people want to believe him.
"Of course, of course..."
His face clearly showed the helplessness that emerged from the over-active guardians, and his whole demeanor was harmless and easy to bully.
The outline of his facial features vaguely overlaps with the tenth generation Vongola, who has become the godfather of the other world ten years later.
The next moment, Sawada Tsunayoshi's impression became soft again. He touched the back of his hair awkwardly, and stammered twice, as if he rarely said such words.
"From now on... please take care of me."
