Chapter 107 The topic of family scumbags hasn't even been discussed by Sawada Tsunayoshi yet...
The topic of "scumbag" ended abruptly, still lingering under Sawada Tsunayoshi's dark aura. Hinata dusted off his clothes but didn't intend to go near his childhood friend.
The two were always inseparable, like conjoined twins, so this unusual behavior puzzled everyone.
Why aren't you walking with Sawada anymore?
Hinata's expression was serious. "Which of them do you think I can beat?"
Kageyama hadn't figured out who was right and who was wrong in the earlier exchange of flowers when he heard this. His first thought was of the fierce fight between those people, and then he glanced at Hyuga's small arms and legs.
"You can't even beat Chrome." I heard Shimizu-senpai mention before that Chrome, as the only girl in this group, is not to be underestimated in terms of combat strength.
Hinata tilted his head, his face full of shock, "How could I possibly beat Chrome!"
Lambo picked his nose and said, "Even Hyuga can't beat Lambo-sama!"
Yiping raised his hand, "Yiping is even more amazing."
They thought Hinata would reassure them that they could beat a kid, but the little guy's expression remained serious. "That's right, I still need to train."
?
Just trying to coax a little kid, haha.
Everyone just thought Hinata was a good older brother, so no one paid much attention. However, Sugawara's expression was still not relaxed, and Daichi asked him what was wrong.
Sugawara's tone was solemn.
"You know, growing up in a family where all the older brothers, sisters, and elders are masters, even a child would absorb a lot of knowledge from a young age. Think about it a little more, this family is a martial arts family, so the children should also learn martial arts from a young age."
Earth: !!!
Now that you mention it, Hyuga's unusual attitude makes perfect sense!
From then on, the Sawada Tsunayoshi family left a deep and mysterious impression on the Karasuno people. Whenever these people waved their cheering sticks and cheered for Sawada Tsunayoshi on the sidelines, they couldn't help but feel a sense of disconnect. A group of guys who seemed to be big shots cheered for Sawada without any airs on the sidelines. In the end, they could only fool them by saying that they had a good relationship with him.
But the fight that just broke out wasn't fake. Da Di and the others had mixed feelings. Could this really be considered a good relationship?
When they reached the exit, Sawada Tsunayoshi was holding several bouquets of flowers in his arms. Daichi was amazed. It was true that they had a good relationship, but it was obvious where that relationship was good.
As you get closer, you can still hear the silver-haired boy's annoyed complaints.
"Why did you all send flowers?!"
Basil was trying to persuade His Highness to only carry his flowers, arguing that carrying too many would be tiring, but Sawada Tsunayoshi looked blank and, upon hearing this, easily lifted the bouquets to indicate that he wasn't tired at all.
"It's easy, I can carry it myself."
The young leader spoke lightly, clutching the bouquets to his chest like precious treasures, like a child unwilling to share candy, wanting to savor all the sweetness in a hidden corner.
All of Gokudera's temper vanished the moment he saw the Tenth Boss's expression. His bright eyes were tinged with a hint of shyness, as if he was embarrassed but unwilling to let go.
He walked ahead, and Kaixin's heels bounced up and down, making the flowers sway as if a few would fall off at any moment.
Given Sawada Tsunayoshi's carelessness, this was highly likely to happen. So Gokudera stepped forward and helped the boss arrange the flowers to prevent one from falling and breaking the little boss's heart.
Oh well, as long as the Tenth Generation is happy.
After dealing with this, he magically produced another bouquet of flowers and casually handed it to Hinata.
Hinata holding a bunch of sunflowers: ?
Lambo, seeing this, exclaimed in surprise, "Why is Gokudera also sending sunflowers?!"
Hinata Shoyo: "Also?"
The next second, the group of people hurriedly took out several bunches of sunflowers from somewhere and stuffed them in front of Hinata. Hinata embraced the sunflowers tightly.
"Why did you send me flowers?" Hinata asked, genuinely puzzled.
But Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was walking ahead, turned around and gave him a dazzling smile, as bright as when they first met. Surrounded by flowers, he was even more lovable than the flowers themselves.
"Because Xiao Xiang is also our family."
His tone was firm, as if it were innate.
Ryohei Sasagawa scratched his head. "I remember Sawada gave me a sunflower after I won the match by a huge margin. Sunflowers are also a perfect match for Hinata!"
Just like when Sawada Tsunayoshi wins a match, everyone gives flowers to their favorite leader. Naturally, another member of the family who is also a champion will receive a gift as well.
Gokudera looked at Hinata's dumbfounded expression and said in a fierce tone, "Even though Lambo didn't win the grand prize in piano, the Tenth Boss still indulged him and they all went out to dinner together. Besides, the Tenth Boss and you were the champions."
Lambo pouted, "You bastard Gokudera, the grand prize is awarded to all age groups together, and I'm already first in the children's group, okay!"
Gokudera sneered, and Lambo sensed an infuriating contempt and disdain in that laughter. He pouted and lunged at Sawada Tsunayoshi, "Tsuna, look at him!"
But Sawada Tsunayoshi had several bouquets of flowers in his hands, leaving no room for anything else. Rokudo Mukuro's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly grabbed the child by the back of his collar and pulled him over.
"Rambo Bovino, did you deliberately run into my bouquet of flowers?"
"I didn't even see it clearly!" Lambo defended himself.
But Rokudo Mukuro wouldn't listen, and Yamamoto laughed too.
"Lambo, you still need to be careful. After all, the chocolate I made is on that flower. If you crush it, it won't taste good."
...
"Why are they arguing again over there?" Yamaguchi Tadashi and Yachi Hitoshi were worried. This time, they didn't dare to say a word, afraid that they might say something that would offend the other person and start another argument.
Tsukishima couldn't bear to watch. "They're obviously just looking for an excuse to fight and vent their anger on each other. Even if you hadn't mentioned those flowers, they would have fought sooner or later anyway."
He pointed to the bouquets of flowers. Even if it doesn't erupt now, once Sawada gets home and receives so many flowers, what's meant to happen will happen eventually; it's just a matter of time.
Tadaya Yamaguchi understood this and breathed a slight sigh of relief. "But why are they all so possessive of Sawada Tsunayoshi? It's just a relationship. Would their families be so angry?"
My previous suspicions resurfaced: Gu Diren was a womanizer and had something to hide, so I felt that everything these people did was very strange.
But there are so many people around, she must be overthinking it.
Renhua shook off those thoughts in her mind and decided to accept Yamaguchi's self-comforting words, such as that he was a good family member and partner.
The flowers were sent out ahead of time. When Sawada Tsunayoshi was about to return to Karasuno on the bus, the group remembered why Gokudera's schedule had arranged to send flowers home. However, in a moment of impulsiveness, they had already sent all the flowers and chocolates, so there was nothing they could do about it now.
Under the reluctant gaze of the young leader, he had just handed the flowers over to Reborn for safekeeping, instructing him to take good care of them.
Reborn knew why the other party wanted him to keep the flowers safe. Firstly, since he hadn't given any flowers, he was preventing the tutor from casually throwing away flowers given by others. Secondly, the other guardians would, to some extent, refrain from damaging the flowers given by others out of respect for Reborn.
The tutor, unable to refuse the student's request, casually picked a single orange-red rose from the bouquets and pinned it to the student's lapel.
"Let's go to the dinner party, don't dawdle."
Sawada Tsunayoshi recognized the flower; Mukuro had brought him a similar rose in a dream before. Every time the little boss looked at the flower, he would think of the magnificent and fiery sunset, with clouds that seemed to set the sky ablaze.
The little leader loved it. He loved the colorful sky, whether it was orange-red, purple, or yellow.
Happily, she left with the flower, and on the way, she also picked up Hinata, who was staring blankly at Sasagawa Ryohei's sunflowers.
What is Xiao Xiang thinking about?
Hinata snapped out of his daze and hissed.
"Won't it be expensive to buy so many flowers?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi and he sat down on the bus, waving through the window to their family members who were still outside fighting. They said they would see each other that night. They were both happy to have won the match and received so many flowers.
"I don't know. I once spent several days' worth of my allowance on a single flower in Namise. But that was my allowance back then. Now, let's assume we're all working. I wonder if our salaries can cover that."
The two men stared at the flowers in silence for a long time, then realized they were worrying about these guys who looked much richer than them.
Hinata sat up straight. "Let's pick out gifts to send back next time it's everyone's birthday."
Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded. "Sho, you don't need to be so negative. Everyone sent flowers because they felt it was the perfect time to do so. They weren't thinking about getting anything in return; they were just celebrating the joy of winning the match."
Hinata had stayed at his childhood friend's house for so many days and knew their personalities well, so for him, sending flowers was something he could do whenever he wanted.
Ultimately, it's because Tsuna treats him like family that Tsuna's family gradually accepts him as well. There are many secrets hidden between them that Hinata is unaware of.
For example, why are they all so skilled? What exactly happened in their second year of junior high school?
Or perhaps, who lives on the third floor, the one closest to him?
Neither Tsuna nor her family intended to tell him, and Hinata didn't feel there was anything wrong with it. After all, it was a family matter; he couldn't possibly tell everything to an outsider, could he?
He was only staying there temporarily!
But without realizing it, he had already integrated into this family.
Hinata was able to keenly sense that something was wrong when these humanoid beasts were about to fight. As Fuuta and the others hid in the safest place, these children reacted much faster than Hinata had at the beginning. After the matter was resolved, they quickly put aside the argument as if nothing had happened.
He might forget what the argument at home was about the day before after he wakes up the next day.
I stretched and stumbled into my childhood friend's lively and bustling home.
Hinata Shoyo actually quite enjoys lively gatherings. He's content living together with everyone, making a ruckus. He was holding those sunflowers; in the chaos just now, he couldn't even remember who had given them the flowers. It was as if everyone was just going through the motions of a daily routine, delivering the flowers and then leaving.
Hinata herself is also part of this daily routine.
