Chapter 127 The competition... After a week of hellish overtime work, Sawa...
After a week of relentless overtime, Sawada Tsunayoshi was finally able to take a short break. The afternoon ended early, and Hinata realized that his childhood friend wouldn't be mistreated in Italy, so he relaxed and went to train.
The junior leader didn't go with them; before leaving, he wanted to see the Ninth Generation Leader.
The Ninth Boss kept saying he wanted to retire and hand over all the affairs to the younger generation so he wouldn't get involved. But Sawada Tsunayoshi never officially succeeded to the throne, so the old man who was determined to retire still stayed in Italy to oversee things.
Reborn was quite pleased with this outcome. His disciple was always thinking about fulfilling his childhood promise to his friend, and it wouldn't be bad to have the Ninth Hokage help with some matters.
Sawada Tsunayoshi changed his clothes and walked with Gokudera Hayato towards another building.
The Vongola Building is quite different from before after the renovation, but most of the buildings still retain the style of the old castle, as is the case with the Ninth Generation.
The young leader, dressed in a beige sweater, walked into the castle, looking all fluffy. The Ninth was getting old, and although Tsunayoshi said the new materials would make the castle's defenses better, the Ninth was still unwilling to be replaced.
According to him, as people get older, they tend to miss the old days and are less willing to try new things.
Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't insist. He carried a box of tea cakes and walked briskly.
Actually, he quite liked seeing the Ninth Boss. Unlike Reborn, the Ninth Boss wasn't fierce and would praise the young leader for doing a great job, saying he was already a very qualified leader.
Reborn didn't come with him today either. It's so nice that no one's around to spoil the fun when I'm being praised.
Gokudera, carrying the gifts the young leader had prepared for the other guardians of the Ninth Generation Family, disappeared behind that thick, complex gate.
At the New Vongola Building, Reborn withdrew his gaze. Colonine sat opposite him. Sawada Tsunayoshi always prepared gifts for everyone. Colonine ate his share and couldn't help but rummage through the ones in front of Reborn.
"Tap—" Reborn placed a pair of Leon chopsticks on the back of Cola Nino's hand, which was itching to make a move.
Cola Nino gasped, looking at the piece on the back of his hand.
"You don't like sweets anyway, so what's wrong with sharing some with me?"
Leon transformed back into a lizard and crawled back onto the brim of Reborn's hat along his hand. Reborn glanced at him, then leisurely picked up the snack that Sawada Tsunayoshi had brought back from his business trip.
"Mine is less sugar."
Wanting to cheer up the teacher with something sweet, but worried that Reborn doesn't like sweets, she chose something less sweet.
Collonino felt a soreness in his teeth, then remarked with admiration, "He really remembers everyone's preferences clearly."
For example, the one Cola Nino ate was sweet and savory.
“My entire brain capacity has been used to memorize this,” Reborn said casually.
"Why are you coming here instead of going to Lar to resolve the conflict?"
Collonino waved his hand, "The conflict has long been resolved. I'm just here to tell you that Tsuna and I will be watching his upcoming matches."
"You guys have a lot of free time?"
"You're more free than me."
The two exchanged a few sarcastic remarks, and Reborn reminded the other, "Remember to book your own plane tickets; there's no room for us here."
"?" Cola Nino asked, puzzled.
"I remember that plane was pretty big, how come there aren't enough seats?!"
Perhaps Reborn didn't want to take them along and was deliberately trying to trap them.
Reborn finished the pastry slowly and deliberately, as if savoring it. "Not only us, Yuni said she also wants to go back with us."
The other party spoke much earlier than Varian and Collonino. They had just returned to Italy when Uni told them that he also wanted to see Mr. Tsunayoshi's match.
Although the other party didn't mention it, Reborn had already assumed that Byakuran would also be going along, as would Gamma. With Byakuran and the other guardians, even the largest Vongola plane couldn't compare to a passenger plane and couldn't fit more people.
"White Orchid is going too? That'll be quite a show." Collonino also thought of this.
Reborn put down the tray. "It's a bit too sweet; it's for kids," he commented.
Cola Nino couldn't stand this guy's sarcastic and boastful attitude. "Then I'll eat sweets too, and you're still comparing tastes."
“You’re naive,” Reborn said mercilessly.
After delivering the pastries, Sawada Tsunayoshi chatted with Kyudai for a while, but didn't stay long. Kyudai also had things to do, so he quickly said goodbye. Reborn saw the heavy door being pushed open a crack, and a bright little doll popped out from inside.
From his elevated position, despite the considerable distance, Reborn's excellent eyesight allowed him to clearly see the other person's expression. He looked somewhat satisfied, his eyes filled with the joy of being praised.
Their steps were much lighter, and Gokudera Hayato and the other man said something to each other, then both of them burst into laughter.
Reborn only looked away when the other person walked into the new building with other gifts and disappeared from sight. When he turned to look at him, Cola Nino looked at him with an indescribable expression, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Why are you still here?" Reborn asked, puzzled.
Cola Nino: "?"
Seeing this ugly face, Cola Nino was so angry that she left, not forgetting to take the gift she hadn't finished eating before leaving, giving Reborn an angry back view.
Even though they would be meeting in a few days, Colonino still said to Sawada Tsunayoshi that Tsunayoshi should give Lal the gift himself, since they would meet again anyway.
Sawada Tsunayoshi was puzzled: "Why doesn't Colonino just bring the gift to Lal? He would be happy to receive the gift first."
Gokudera knew that "the emotions felt when receiving a gift from the giver in person are probably more profound."
"After all, gifts are secondary; people are the most important."
Lan Shou looked at the young leader.
Yes, he liked the gift too, but the Tenth Generation was the most important.
Sawada Tsunayoshi returned from visiting several friends. Except for the Ninth Boss, who couldn't leave, everyone else wanted to go to Japan with him, saying it was a rare opportunity and they had to cheer him on.
"The Spring High School Gymnasium must be huge," Sawada Tsunayoshi couldn't help but worry.
Hinata thought about the matches he had watched and nodded, saying, "It's huge, enormous! It can hold a ton of people."
That puts the young leader at ease; otherwise, it would be too conspicuous for his family to gather together.
"I think you shouldn't be too worried, Tsuna," Hinata replied to Kageyama's message while texting Miyayu.
"After all, Xiao Gang's family members are all outstanding in appearance. Handsome men and beautiful women are the focus of attention wherever they go. When Xiao Gang's family members stand there, reporters will be unable to resist wanting to interview them."
As Sawada Tsunayoshi envisioned the scene in his mind, his feelings were quite complicated. He had a feeling that in the end, Tsunayoshi himself would be the one to embarrass himself.
He sighed deeply, seeing sparks flying from the keyboard as he typed.
"Are you still chatting with Yu-senpai and Kageyama?"
This time coincides with the evening rest period after Kageyama and his team finish training, allowing them to access the communicator and send messages.
Hinata nodded. "I told Yu and Kageyama that we're going to watch the Italian Super League quarterfinals tomorrow, and they're absolutely drooling over it."
He squinted, a smug smile playing on his lips.
"Even if you can't come, there's always a live stream to watch," Sawada Tsunayoshi said reassuringly after thinking for a moment.
“Definitely, but the atmosphere at the venue and the live broadcast are completely different,” Hinata said, beaming.
"Ah, I'm so excited I won't be able to sleep tonight!"
Sawada Tsunayoshi retorted, "You said this afternoon that you wanted to rest early to cheer on Louis and the others."
"Even if I don't get enough rest, I still have energy!"
As a volleyball league with a wide international reputation, the Italian Super League attracts many foreigners who fly to Italy specifically to watch the matches. Even though Sawada Tsunayoshi and his friends were sitting outside, they didn't stand out. However, the Shell Club gave them VIP tickets.
Hyuga sat in the private box, looking around curiously. Rokudo Mukuro mocked him, saying there were needles in the chair. Gokudera told him to be quiet while watching the match.
Hinata didn't mind. It wasn't that he had the same good temper as his childhood friend, but he was used to the Vongola Guardians hurting each other every day, so he didn't care. He would rather watch the matches than get angry.
Before the Italian Super League match started, cheerleaders entered the stadium to cheer for their teams, creating a high point in the atmosphere.
Gokudera Hayato fell into deep thought, taking out a notebook and scribbling. Hinata felt a sense of dread when she saw the notebook, remembering the fear of being dominated by the victory celebration.
These guys don't even like volleyball, so why are they so eager to watch the volleyball match? I wonder if they're just bored out of their minds. Hinata thought to himself, "I thought I could enjoy watching the match with Tsuna. Sure enough, these guys just love sticking to Tsuna!"
Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't understand why these guys insisted on coming to watch the match. If they were watching him and Sho's match to cheer them on, then coming here was indeed a bit strange.
"...Hayato, what are you writing down?" The junior leader pointed to the notebook, his face not looking too good, probably recalling some unpleasant memories.
Gokudera pushed up his glasses, which seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and looked as if he were recording data at some kind of scientific experiment, if you ignored the noisy background music.
"I'm learning from the skills and knowledge of professional cheerleaders. We weren't well-prepared for the competition before the 10th generation, so we have some ready-made examples to learn from. I've also researched and found out that Spring High School allows cheering, so this time we're determined to make Karasuno cheerleading the undisputed number one!"
The other person got excited while talking to themselves.
The junior leader thought of the other party's social media posts and felt a sense of dread. "Actually, there's no need to make such a fuss..."
Hayato Gokudera, with an expression that said, "I've considered that too; as expected of the Tenth Boss, he's thought of everything thoroughly," said the Tenth Boss. "Don't worry, Tenth Boss. After all, Spring High is a student competition. I'll make specific adjustments based on the specific circumstances!"
Sawada Tsunayoshi sighed; he couldn't rest easy!
Hinata, seeing that Louise and the others hadn't taken the stage yet, chimed in, "With such a professional cheering team, Tsuna could easily debut right away."
Gokudera gave him a very perceptive look of praise, "The Tenth Boss does everything perfectly, even debuting would be no problem!"
Sawada Tsunayoshi stopped the conversation from getting to the point, saying, "I'm not going to be an idol, so Hayato shouldn't think too much about it!"
