Chapter 82 This idiot is different from those childish high school boys...
Unlike the boisterous group of immature high school boys, the manager's dormitory was much gentler, with girls sitting together.
Chrome doesn't talk much usually. Shirafuku Yuki is munching on a watermelon. Suzuta Kaoru and Shimizu Kiyoko are discussing stretching after exercise. Yachi looks around, admiring the experience of the two seniors, his eyes sparkling.
The last bit of the watermelon in his hand was eaten, and Bai Fu looked at the two pieces left in the fruit plate. He asked the others,
"Do you still want some watermelon? There are two more slices here."
Gu Direnhua reacted the fastest, raising her hand high while holding the pillow and waving to indicate that she could no longer eat.
The other two managers also said that they don't eat it now.
Shimizu shook his head, but Suzume Kaoru, who knew their other manager, Fubuki, very well, said with a hint of annoyance, "..."
"You're the one who wanted to eat it, right?"
Bai Fuxue chuckled, then turned to ask Chrome, who was sitting next to her.
"Would Chrome-chan like some watermelon?"
So the girl with purple hair shook her head, "I ate one earlier, Bai Fu, you can have it."
Bai Fu was waiting for those words. She quickly devoured a watermelon, one in each hand, her cheeks bulging like a hamster's. Chrome, sitting right next to her, saw it all clearly.
Bai Fu finished eating and said contentedly, "I'll go wash the dishes!"
Que Tian found it amusing, "Is watermelon really that delicious?"
A voice called out from afar, "Of course it's delicious!"
Chrome thought for a moment and said, "The watermelon is indeed very good; the boss and Lord Mukuro like it very much too."
Hitoka Yachi was getting used to the girl constantly talking about Sawada Tsunayoshi and the "Mukuro-sama" she mentioned, but the managers from other schools hadn't heard Chrome speak much before. They thought her voice was nice, but something about it felt off.
The girl with pigtails dragged her pillow closer to them and sat down. As if seeing that Chrome wasn't really silent, she finally dared to ask her question.
"Chrome keeps calling Sawada 'boss,' but Chrome is a high school student just like us, right? Has she already started working for Sawada?"
"With just one sentence, you've labeled the Sawada family an illegal organization that employs child laborers!" Hitoka Yachi thought to herself.
But Chrome didn't see anything wrong with it; on the contrary, she said...
"Yes, everyone does that."
What are they like? They're all so young and already working! The other managers looked at them with disapproval.
Kiyoko Shimizu pays attention to everyone's information, she explained.
"Actually, Chrome is a year younger than Renka, even younger."
"Hey!" The female manager tossed the pillow aside and leaned forward. "Will Sawada's family pay you a salary?"
Chrome took a few awkward steps back. She seemed to have never paid attention to these things before? Dragging some long-forgotten memories from the corners of her mind, she nodded happily under the watchful eyes of the female managers, who were practically ready to call the police.
Yes, I will.
As if recalling other pleasant memories, her tone was light.
"My family pays me a salary, usually deposited into my bank account, but I hardly ever use it because the boss urges me to eat with Master Mukuro, and Master Mukuro also gives me pocket money, so I save all that salary."
That made some sense, and the others felt relieved. They didn't ask about the salary, since that was too private.
"Sounds like Sawada is a good boss? He even cares about his subordinates' meals."
The Tenth Boss, who had just finished recounting how he tricked his own guardians into eating five-nut mooncakes, sneezed. Sugawara naturally draped a blanket over him.
"Don't catch a cold."
Sawada Tsunayoshi: ?
He threw back the covers. "I haven't been sick in ages!"
But since it was a kind gesture from his senior, the young leader still placed the blanket on his lap and didn't take it off.
Tsukishima nodded. "After all, idiots don't catch colds."
At the same time, Hinata and Kageyama, to prove that they were also in great health, said, "I don't get sick much."
Hinata Shoyo, having spent so much time with Tsukishima, immediately retorted loudly that he wasn't stupid. Only Kageyama felt that since he "didn't get sick much," he was on par with Hinata, and how could he lag behind that guy Hinata? So he added...
"I will not get sick."
Hinata:?
"Are you an idiot, Kageyama!?"
You're the idiot!
Tsukishima waved his hand and said to the people around him, "See, I told you they were idiots."
The person next to him gave him a knowing look, "Am I one of the idiots too?"
Oh, that's Sawada Tsunayoshi next to him. Tsukishima looked away, but then realized he hadn't said anything wrong, so he turned back around.
“Sawada-kun doesn’t seem like the kind of heartless capitalist who would exploit his employees,” Shirafuku Yuki said as she pushed open the door and overheard their conversation.
"The boss is definitely not that kind of person!"
They stared in shock as Chrome became emotional for the first time, her voice several decibels louder than ever before, though it still wasn't much better.
"My boss worries about our health, takes me out for delicious desserts, goes shopping with us, and supports whatever we do. I love my boss the most!"
After finishing her sentence, she added, "Lord Mukuro also loves the boss the most!"
The girls were just about to marvel at their beautiful friendship when a next sentence choked them to death, and Suzume Kaoru quickly stopped them.
"Hold on, who is Lord Mukuro?"
How come there's a man in this beautiful love story between a man and a woman, and this man also likes Sawada?
Chrome: "Lord Mukuro is also the boss's guardian, his subordinate. I heard from Lord Mukuro that he has known the boss since he was very young, and he is willing to stay in the boss's family now because they knew each other when they were young. I also joined the boss's family with Lord Mukuro."
After hearing such a long string of words, the girls were almost unable to recognize the words "boss" and "Lord Mukuro." They tried their best to sort out the information.
"So, Chrome met that Mukuro-sama first, and then Mukuro-sama really liked Sawada and was willing to work for Sawada. Under Mukuro-sama's influence, Chrome also chose to work for Sawada?"
“We’re not just working,” Chrome disliked the term. “We’re the boss’s family, and we’re here to protect him forever.”
If Sawada Tsunayoshi were here, he would understand that Chrome was trying to say that she and Mukuro were both her guardians, but because she was unsure whether she could say that to ordinary people, she chose to use other words instead.
But these girls who don't know about the Vongola's existence can only exclaim in their hearts how complicated the emotional relationships are!
The girl with pigtails asked the first question, and was also the first to fall silent.
"So, does Chrome like Mukuro-sama the most, or Sawada?"
When Chrome encountered this problem, her brain completely shut down; she had never even mentally compared the two people.
Seeing Chrome's difficulty, the girl changed her question.
"For example, right now, the three of you are lost, and there are two identical paths in front of you. Sawada wants to go to the left, but Mukuro wants to go to the right. Neither of you wants to change your mind. So, whose idea will Chrome support?"
"That won't happen."
"Huh?"
They looked at the girl who had suddenly become determined, not understanding what she meant by saying that such a situation would not occur.
Chrome: "With the boss around, you'll never get lost!"
Hitoka Yachi had heard Sawada Tsunayoshi say that although the head teacher had taken him around the school once, he would still get lost in the school afterward, and he had a strange expression.
Very well, this is probably just mindless, fanatical support for one's own boss.
The girl continued, "And Master Mukuro won't change his mind. If the boss really wants to go to the left, then not only me, but Master Mukuro will also go to the left."
"What if Lord Mukuro is right, and the right side is the correct path?"
"No way." Chrome probably thought the other person had asked a really absurd question.
"The boss is infallible. If we insist on going to the left, it means we haven't understood the boss's intention."
So no matter what, Sawada is always right. Regardless of whether he is right or wrong, the girl in front of her is convinced that Sawada is absolutely right.
After the explanation, their feelings became even more complicated, but when they realized that the Mukuro they were talking about was also the one who blindly supported him, they were shocked to find that the matter could be even more complicated.
Everyone's expressions were so strange that Chrome wondered if she had been too absolute, and then added,
"This assumption won't hold true either, because the boss will support our decision. If the boss doesn't know the way, then when Master Mukuro says to go to the right, the boss will follow Master Mukuro and leave."
This only shows that Sawada Tsunayoshi blindly supports you guys.
As Hitoka Yachi thought about Sawada's daily interactions with Chrome, she realized that it really was true.
"You two are really close, haha."
A hint of confusion appeared on the girl's face, but her expression brightened considerably when the two important people were mentioned.
"We have the best relationship."
Her original intention was to find out if Chrome liked Sawada Tsunayoshi, but the question led to such a complicated boss-employee relationship. The girl couldn't help but continue gossiping.
"So what does Chrome's job involve?"
"Hmm, handling documents, usually interpersonal interactions," dealing with other Mafia families.
"Trade disputes," fighting with other Mafia families
"Occasionally, there are social gatherings to attend." This involves direct confrontations with the Mafia.
“These are the main things.” Chrome nodded.
"It sounds like a lot of work. Documents seem so boring."
It was tough, but not boring at all.
"Working with the boss is never boring." And seeing those people get beaten down by the boss is very enjoyable.
Little red flowers appeared around Chrome, leaving the others in awe.
So this guy is a die-hard fan of Sawada Tsunayoshi!
Although it wasn't very obvious, he kept mentioning Sawada Tsunayoshi in his words and couldn't stand anyone saying a bad word about Sawada, which seemed like he was working for true love.
"And the boss is the one who has the hardest time,"
Look how they've already empathized with the capitalists—
"When we were in Italy, the boss was busy from morning till night, and Reborn would even deduct some of his salary for not performing his job well."
Wait, this is really too tragic!
"...The boss did a really good job."
This sounds more like the plight of a corporate slave. How could it be so miserable? The girls fell silent.
"Achoo—" Sawada Tsunayoshi sneezed several times in a row.
Even Kenma felt something was off. "Could Tsunayoshi really be sick?"
Before Sawada Tsunayoshi could speak, Bokuto fell into thought.
"Doesn't that mean Sawada isn't an idiot?!"
"Hello!"
