Chapter 108: Celebrating. Everyone's feelings were mixed, but overall it was still...
Everyone had different feelings, but overall they were happy to finish the celebration dinner. When they went home, they looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi with pity, and even Hyuga next to him was confused.
He asked, "Why do you all view Xiaogang this way?"
Tanaka patted Hyuga on the shoulder and said, "Hyuga, be careful when you go back."
Heaven knows how complicated the relationships in Sawada's family are. They felt a pang of sympathy, thinking to themselves that it was no wonder Sawada was so gentle in such a family. They thought that someone with a bad temper would be yelling and shouting every day. Then they thought of Gokudera Hayato from earlier. Hmm, there was already an example of that.
Hinata was touched to receive the flowers. Normally, he would complain to his teammates. He felt that his reaction speed had improved recently, and he had become a master at escaping at times. What was the first lesson he learned at his childhood friend's house?
How to protect yourself in chaos!
He figured this out himself. Tsuna's family didn't treat Hinata like an outsider, but for Hinata himself, it was better to be polite. It was normal for them to argue unexpectedly every day and even fight over a disagreement. His childhood friend had to maintain order, and in most cases, there would be conflict wherever Sawada Tsunayoshi was. So Tsuna could only protect them from getting hurt, but the impact on their mental well-being was another matter.
Lambo is definitely someone he can learn from. Although Lambo has been tough since childhood, he still gets hurt when he needs to. Kids know when to hide, so Hyuga observed him and learned how to find the best escape route in a mess, and even find a place to watch the drama unfold.
But out of consideration for Himawari, Hinata didn't say a word. He touched his hair.
"Xiao Gang's family is very loving and caring. They take care of each other. The night I moved in, they even cooked dinner for me!"
Sawada Tsunayoshi still felt a chill when he thought about that dinner. Although Bianchi was not physically present in Miyagi, her spirit resided in the food. Fortunately, no one died tragically because of that feast. He still had to thank Bianchi for this, because her stomach could already endure a lot of unnecessary pain.
Before Sawada Tsunayoshi could interject, his childhood friend continued, "Besides, they all really like Tsuna, so he'll listen to whatever Tsuna says and won't really cause too much trouble."
Those people did indeed quiet down after Sawada Tsunayoshi spoke up—no, after he made a move. So Karasuno and the others thought that maybe they were just afraid that Sawada would be deceived? After all, Chrome usually seemed very gentle, and it was the first time they had seen her looking so sinister and full of black energy today.
They finally had a chance to clear up the misunderstanding, but their feelings for each other only deepened once again. It wasn't until they were invited to the Sawada family home that they realized how wrong they had been.
Once on the bus home, Sawada Tsunayoshi realized why Gokudera was so angry. The small manor was decorated with bright and lovely flowers, swaying in the air and carrying their fragrance. Different colored flowers formed the word "Champion," and someone had secretly added a small lion with a 27 clearly visible on its head.
The little leader felt a warmth in his heart, and was also ignited by the bright flowers, with little pink flowers blooming all over his body.
Hinata was moved to tears once again. Driver Reina added, "These were designed by Lord Storm Guardian himself, and then the Guardians, the other lords, and the staff decorated them together. First, the lords went to watch the game, and we prepared the flowers and installed the shelves. When His Highness and Hinata went to have dinner, the Guardians rushed back as soon as possible to arrange the flowers according to the design. Even Lord Lambo and the others were busy for a long time."
Sawada Tsunayoshi was also on the verge of tears. He asked Reina, moved, "Where is everyone now?"
Reina straightened his back, very proudly, "Now the adults are in the kitchen preparing a victory banquet for His Highness and Hyuga-kun."
Sawada Tsunayoshi: ?
!!
"They went into the kitchen!?" The leader held back his tears, his emotions overflowing, but now he was filled with worry for his companions' safety.
Hinata also recalled that less-than-pleasant night. Reason prevailed over emotion, and he swallowed hard before cautiously asking his childhood friend...
"Xiao Gang, why don't we come to my place for the night? Xia misses you."
They're even using Xia as an excuse?!
Sawada Tsunayoshi really wanted to say that he also missed Xia and suggested he come to visit her tonight, but he couldn't. He pushed open the door with a death-defying resolve.
"I can't just stand by and watch everyone be in danger."
As soon as the door opened, they were greeted by several loud bangs.
The young leader was so frightened he almost set the fire on fire. "What happened? Did the kitchen explode?"
Before he could finish speaking, something light and airy landed on his hair. Sawada Tsunayoshi shakily took a piece off his shoulder. Hmm? It was a piece of paper? The touch brought his heart, which was pounding with fear, to the ground. He steadied himself and looked at the small pieces of paper. They seemed somewhat familiar.
"It's a ribbon!" Hinata took the small piece of paper off her body, her eyes lighting up.
Gokudera Hayato approached, and amidst the chaos, he vaguely heard the Tenth Boss's question. Confused, he asked...
"What exploded? I didn't bring a bomb! Lambo, did you do it?!" He held the empty cannon and questioned the child who had set off the cannon while standing on the chair.
Lambo said angrily, "Why are you doubting Lord Lambo again? I've noticed that idiot Gokudera has been targeting Lord Lambo these past few days!"
Sawada Tsunayoshi held the few ribbons in his hands. Yamamoto Takeshi reached out and pinched off a few that he couldn't see from Sawada's head, a smile playing on his lips, but his tone was worried.
"Was Tsuna scared?"
Tsuna shook his head and then nodded. "Oh, I was definitely scared again, but now I actually feel relieved."
He had mixed feelings. It turned out to be just a celebratory cannon salute. Sawada Tsunayoshi had thought that his family had finally created the kind of biological weapon that could detonate the Earth. After everyone finished setting off the cannons, they brought the two champions to the living room.
The young chief carefully observed the house along the way. The porch was fine, no place suddenly turned black, and no crack suddenly appeared in the wall. The house was exactly the same as before he left, except for the addition of many sparkly decorations.
Finally, he eagerly looked towards the dining room. There weren't many dishes on the table, which put Sawada Tsunayoshi at ease. But then he realized he still couldn't relax. He didn't know what his family had prepared, and he wasn't too confident in the cooking skills of the whole family working together.
Reborn and Kaze sat at the round table, Hibari sat alone on one side, and Kusakabe-senpai was neither too close nor too far away, as if he was still reporting something. Everything was normal, and Tsuna slowly relaxed. Although Reina said that everyone should cook, what if there were no problems this time?
He should give his family more confidence.
Dino pulled him to sit down, and for the first time, Hinata managed to snag a seat next to his childhood friend when everyone else was home. It wasn't so much that he snatched the seat as if everyone had tacitly agreed to give it to him.
The fatigue from the match dissipated at that moment, and they were naturally happy that their family was celebrating with them like this.
But a second later, Gokudera Hayato stood up, took out a piece of paper, cleared his throat, and announced the official start of the entertainment program.
Sawada Tsunayoshi and Hyuga Shoyo: ?
What kind of weird show is this?
Out of the corner of their eye, the tutor picked up his teacup, and Kaze and the other person watched this scene with a sense of anticipation. Hibari Kyoya didn't even glance at them. A bad premonition surged up again. Sawada Tsunayoshi and Hinata exchanged a glance, knowing that they couldn't avoid it tonight, but whether it was a blessing or a curse, they could only grit their teeth and bear it.
The piano was brought in, and Lambo played a solo piece as the opening act.
The young leader knew that Lambo was learning piano. After all, every time Hayato had a lesson, his impatient voice could break through the soundproof walls of the music room and reach everyone's ears. Sawada Tsunayoshi was lucky enough to sit in on one lesson, but he couldn't remember what piece they learned. He could only recall that his head was buzzing afterward, filled with Hayato and Lambo yelling at each other.
After that experience, Tsuna kept his distance from the music room. Lambo, on the other hand, liked to report his progress to him after each lesson, but because Sawada Tsuna was busy himself, he hadn't heard anything about it even once in the past few months.
Sawada Tsunayoshi perked up and listened carefully. Lambo was playing a cheerful tune today. The little boss didn't know the name of the tune, but he was very happy listening to it. He didn't come back to his senses until Lambo finished performing, and he and Hinata applauded the child.
Lambo snuggled into his brother's arms, his face beaming with excitement. "How was it? Isn't Lord Lambo super amazing?"
Tsuna sincerely said, "Lambo is really amazing. He has improved so much since the last time I heard him."
The child, pleased with the praise, didn't leave his brother's side and just swaggered around there. Gokudera Hayato resisted the urge to drag the child out and dutifully announced the next performance: Rokudo Mukuro's magic show.
Upon hearing that Mukuro was going to perform magic, Sawada Tsunayoshi almost lost his balance and fell to the ground. However, since it was Mukuro performing, and there was illusion magic involved, it shouldn't be too strange.
Lambo's song reassured the young leader once again. He looked at Rokudo Mukuro with a hint of anticipation, who had taken out a trident...
Wait, it's just a magic show, why bring out the trident?!
Tsuna comforted himself, thinking, "What if it's necessary for magic?" After all, Mukuro would also use the trident when using illusion magic.
Before he could convince himself, Rokudo Mukuro spoke.
"I need an assistant."
Gokudera, with an impatient expression that said "Why do you have so many fuss?", tapped Chrome, indicating that Chrome could be Rokudo Mukuro's assistant.
But Rokudo Mukuro refused and looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi, saying, "I want Sawada Tsunayoshi to be my assistant."
?
Sawada Tsunayoshi was bewildered. Why was it his business again? But seeing that Arashi and Kiri were about to start arguing again, he resigned himself to his fate and stood up. "It's okay, I can be your assistant."
After calming his Storm Guardian, he walked over to Rokudo Mukuro and looked at the empty stage, wondering what was wrong. Wasn't he supposed to be performing magic? So he asked him...
What magic trick are we going to perform?
Rokudo Mukuro gave a strange smile. "Didn't he tell you?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi was even more puzzled. He stood on tiptoe to look at the watch in Gokudera's hand, and then looked for the Mist Guardian to perform something. Hmm, a magic clone?!
It sounds pretty normal, using light and shadow to create the effect of a clone?
But would Rokudo Mukuro be such a normal person?
The leader remained silent and asked, "Is this 'clone' a noun or a verb?"
