Chapter 104 Hinata finally found her target, Gokudera Hayato, and pulled him along...
Hinata finally figured out Gokudera Hayato's real reason for pulling him aside for a talk: a volleyball-related celebration. His eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he said...
Let's have a volleyball match!
This celebration is absolutely fantastic; Hinata gets excited just thinking about it.
Gokudera looked at Hinata Shoyo with suspicion, "Only you would like this celebration ceremony."
Hinata guiltily averted her gaze and loudly tried to justify herself.
"Kageyama will like it too!"
"Very well, now that you mention it, it really wasn't a normal celebration," Gokudera Hayato deduced from the other person's reaction, muttering to himself.
"No matter how you look at it, it's too tiring to have to compete again after a whole day of matches. Tenth Generation needs to rest. Volleyball matches can be arranged for other activities in the future, but let's skip this one."
Hinata sensed from the conversation that Gokudera Hayato hadn't completely abandoned him in the match he'd been longing for, and he was satisfied, seriously considering how to celebrate.
"Hmm, send flowers?" He racked his brains, but when it came to congratulating someone on a successful competition, flowers were still the only thing that came to mind.
Gokudera glanced at him. "I sent flowers before."
"Yeah, it's true, isn't it a bit unoriginal?" Hinata realized the awkwardness her childhood friend felt when he received the flowers. She felt that if he sent them in the same way, Tsuna probably wouldn't be pleasantly surprised, and would just be shocked again.
“Although it’s not a very thoughtful gesture, it still needs to be done.” Gokudera paced back and forth anxiously. “Flowers are a must. I’ve already prepared those. I’ve also prepared a few other rituals. Could you take a look at them for me?”
Hinata took the tablet from the other person with a serious attitude. "Hmm, let him see it."
"A big meal, but our team also has its own meals, so we probably don't need to prepare a lot of food?"
He pointed to the first suggestion and gave his advice. Gokudera Hayato pulled out a notebook and a pen from somewhere, nodding as he scribbled in the notebook.
"This is indeed very important. Is there anything else?"
"The next thing is the entertainment performance during the meal. Why would they include something like that?!"
"Rambo is going to paint on the spot? This is more like a talent show!"
Gokudera had his own reasons: "The Tenth Boss must be very tired after the competition. We can play some entertainment during the meal to help him relax and prevent him from getting too bored."
Hyuga suspected that Gokudera Hayato had planned this all along, suggesting that he put on an impromptu performance to amuse the boss during the meal. However, Tsuna naturally disagreed and took this opportunity to sneak in his own agenda.
Others were probably also annoyed by Gokudera, and wrote something on the program list, more or less.
Yamamoto is so thoughtful, making a dish for Tsuna. Tsuna will probably be very happy. Are Fuuta and Ippei going to do some crafts? He remembers that the teddy bear in Tsuna's room was a gift from Fuuta; that's something to look forward to.
Chrome is going to make desserts? Oh, he didn't even know Chrome could make desserts. That's fine too. Gokudera arranged for him to play a piano solo, which is acceptable.
These were all normal, but then things got a little weird.
The wind wrote something, um, an auspicious saying?
What is that?
"The wind is said to be a characteristic of their country."
"Oh my god, I'm starting to look forward to this!"
Then, Reborn asked, "Want some tea?"
What kind of activity is this?! Should I make Xiaogang a cup of tea? Hmm, that doesn't seem like something that teacher would do.
Gokudera was also puzzled, "Lord Reborn has his own reasons for doing this."
It turned out that Gokudera didn't dare to refute Reborn, and Hyuga understood this in his heart.
Rokudo Mukuro's was even more bizarre: "Magic Clone."
This clone doesn't feel like a noun, it sounds more like a verb!
Is it really appropriate for something like this to appear at a victory celebration? He looked at Gokudera with suspicion and questioned how such a thing could have appeared.
Gokudera gritted his teeth, "That bastard Rokudo Mukuro said that if it weren't for Sawada Tsunayoshi's serious attitude in the match, he wouldn't even have played dirty."
"I won't even attend the Vongola Family's celebration ceremony, let alone perform." Gokudera almost let it slip, but quickly recovered. After who knows how long he and Rokudo Mukuro were exchanging barbs, a single word finally appeared on the screen.
The handwriting clearly conveyed my intention to kill.
Hinata said admiringly, "Gokudera, you can even handle the Six Paths, that's amazing."
“Of course.” Gokudera said nonchalantly, “Hibari doesn’t like gatherings, so I made an exception and didn’t ask him to do anything; just showing up was enough.”
He considers himself to be fairly tolerant, and able to take into account that everyone has different likes and dislikes.
Hinata Shoyo expressed his understanding.
"So today, Hibari will probably be here too." After receiving the award, Hinata recalled the discussion she had with Gokudera Hayato and shared it with Tsuna.
Sawada Tsunayoshi looked around, "Eh! Hibari-senpai?!"
"Hibari-senpai is here too!?"
It's no wonder he was shocked. Hibari had only come to watch the first match out of all those matches, and after confirming that Sawada Tsunayoshi was alright, he hadn't come even once.
There are too many people watching the match, which Hibari definitely doesn't like. And having to travel all the way to Miyagi, which is so far away from Namimori, must make things even more difficult for the opponent.
The young leader also knew that he had never asked his family to come and cheer for him in every match. Everyone has their own life. But apart from Hibari-senpai, even Mukuro, who said that the match was boring and he would never come again, would show up in the audience on time.
It seems like I've added unnecessary burden to my family again.
Since returning to Japan, he hasn't asked Takeru how Hayato and the others are doing. Every time they try to talk about it, the conversation gets steered back to whether Tsuna is nervous about the competition.
"With so many people here today, is it really possible that Senior Yun Que will come?" He felt it was unreal.
So Hinata also looked around, "But Gokudera said Hibari-senpai would come, and Hibari-senpai doesn't seem like the kind of person who would go back on his word?"
"That's true. Hibari-senpai always keeps his word, so where could he be?"
The two were distracted the whole way, and Sugawara couldn't stand it anymore. Just as Sawada Tsunayoshi was about to trip over a bump, he pulled him back and gave his two juniors a serious warning.
"Watch where you're going when you walk, understand?"
The younger generation are like chicks pecking at rice.
They obediently looked ahead for a short while, but even after winning the game, Tanaka and Nishiya weren't much better off, walking in a mess. So Sawada Tsunayoshi couldn't help but observe again, he was too curious about where Hibari-senpai would be watching the game.
Of course, it's also possible that Hibari-senpai didn't come.
The young leader couldn't help but look at the ceiling. Could it be that Senior Hibari was hiding up there? Just like Spider-Man.
He laughed at his own imagined scenario, but his laughter turned into a tragedy.
Hinata and Sugawara's urgent reminders brought a pillar to his face, and Tsuna almost crashed into it.
As a result, he was pulled and, in a dizzying moment, crashed into a hard chest.
A familiar, cool scent filled the air. Just as Sugawara was about to instinctively pull Sawada out and offer a perfunctory apology, Hinata recognized the person first.
"Senior Hibari!" he greeted cheerfully.
"Oh, it's someone I know," Sugawara nodded. "No wonder he's been holding me for so long without letting go."
Hibari responded, then looked down at the person in his arms, "What are you doing, Sawada Tsunayoshi?"
The junior leader smiled guiltily at Yun Shou, "I just wanted to find out where Senior Yun Que is."
He tried to pull away from the other's embrace, but Hibari Kyoya's arms were like steel bars, and Tsuna couldn't move them, confirming that the other was not planning to let go of him.
“I’m right here,” Lark explained to him.
Here? Sawada Tsunayoshi looked around and realized that his opponent was standing in a deserted passageway, silently watching his match.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "Senior Yun Que came to watch my match! I'm so happy!"
Daichi, Kageyama, and Tanaka also came over and happened to see this scene. Another black-haired youth caught them and held them in his arms. The catching youth's face was flushed, which looked like shyness, but it was actually because he was embarrassed by his own stupidity. Daichi hesitated.
"Is this... Sawada's girlfriend?"
Now that you put it that way, everything makes sense. Sugawara suddenly realized why the two of them hadn't let go of each other for so long.
Kageyama's brain went blank after his senior's words. He struggled for a long time with the question of whether Sawada Tsunayoshi had a girlfriend or whether Sawada Tsunayoshi was hugging a man, and finally came to a conclusion: "So Sawada likes boys?"
Hinata tried to defend his childhood friend, "No, Hibari-senpai is Tsuna's senior. They are very close seniors and juniors."
Tanaka, thinking of the comics his older sister read, said to Hinata with a serious expression...
"Hinata, did you know that the last senior and junior couple got married?"
"Huh!?"
Hinata and Sawada Tsunayoshi both exclaimed in surprise. Adhering to the mentality that it's wrong to ignore gossip, they put aside the complicated relationship between the upperclassman and the underclassman and focused on the couple in front of them.
"Flowers? They're so pretty! Are they for me?" Sawada Tsunayoshi was finally released by Hibari, but Hibari took a bunch of flowers from Kusakabe and stuffed them into Ozora's arms.
He nodded. "Here you go. Well done."
Hibari thought about the watch that Gokudera had shown him. The other man had been babbling incoherently, but he hadn't taken it to heart. The first thing he did upon seeing the watch was to give flowers.
Oh, so you want him to deliver the flowers?
The little animal definitely needed some encouragement for winning the competition. The lark nodded and casually agreed, without really knowing what it was agreeing to.
Nishitani rushed over, then hurriedly took a few steps back, peeking out from Tanaka and Hinata's side.
"What? Someone confessed their feelings to Sawada?"
"Wait, why is the guy confessing his feelings a guy?!"
Tanaka's expression remained serious. He first denied Nishiya's statement, saying, "Ayumi, their relationship is not like that of a confessor and a confessed-to person."
"They are a senior and junior who are truly in love."
? ! !
Nishitani Yuu didn't realize it was early morning.
"Huh?" Yamaguchi asked, holding his phone.
Tsukishima asked, "What's wrong?"
Renka also looked over, Yamaguchi replied.
"Nishiya-senpai said that Tsunayoshi's girlfriend gave him a bouquet of flowers in the passageway ahead."

Author's Note: I'll rest for a bit after the match, then I'm going to start tormenting 27, hehe.
