Chapter 88 Glass Bead Lambo hugged his soda, gulping it down...
Lambo hugged his soda, the bubbles bobbing up and down. He flicked the glass bead at the spout with his finger; it was blue. Hinata said it looked like the ocean, but Lambo looked disgusted.
He refused Hinata's kind offer of help and sat alone in the corner of the sofa, sinking into the soft fabric, trying to outwit the glass bead. It was strange; he had clearly seen how his older siblings had taken it out last year and was quite certain that he could easily learn how, but now his mind was completely blank.
Others passed by the living room one after another. Except for Chrome, all the guardians had their own studies to attend to, not to mention Yamamoto, Gokudera, and the older brother. They should have been participating in joint training or other activities during their summer vacation, but they acted like nothing was wrong every day.
This isn't the kind of bottle that you can open by flipping the cap, so when Gokudera tried to mock him for not even remembering the method, he retorted fiercely, "Hmph, Lambo-sama isn't stupid. He learned that simple method when he was five years old."
Gokudera was so angry with him that he naturally wouldn't help him remove the glass bead, and Lambo wouldn't ask him for help either.
Ha, this idiot. The school signed him up for a piano competition. He clearly dreamed of Tsuna watching him perform, but because Tsuna had a competition, he held back and didn't say anything, saying he didn't want his personal matters to interfere with Tsuna's competition.
What a big idiot, hahaha. Even though he hasn't taken out the glass bead yet, Lambo is radiating smugness. If he doesn't tell Tsuna, his brother will be even more heartbroken when he finds out. I wonder when this guy will ever be able to catch up with Lambo-sama, hmph.
Lambo poked at the bead again, wondering if the bottle cap was actually locked, but he really liked how pretty the bead was, and he was so frustrated that he wanted to just smash the bottle open.
But doing that will definitely get me criticized.
Pshaw, it's not that Lambo is afraid of being scolded by Reborn, he just finds their rambling and annoying enough to make his ears fall off.
He paused, his hand still holding the bottle, and stood up to find tools to open it.
On Sunday night, everyone leaves. That's how boarding students are. They leave school on Friday night and return on Sunday night. He won't have to stay at school anymore when he goes to high school. Lambo won't let Sawada Tsunayoshi leave him alone at school.
He walked along the wooden floor toward the tool shed, passing the main entrance where everyone's shoes were laid out.
Rokudo Mukuro left early. He's always the first one to leave. I don't know what he's so stubborn about. He came back with the others on Friday, didn't he?
So there were no shoes belonging to that guy by the door, and everyone else's belongings were indeed neatly arranged.
Lambo suddenly remembered that the wrench he had taken out to use last time hadn't been put back in the tool room, and Sasagawa Ryohei had casually stuffed it on a small cabinet next to the dressing room.
He stopped and stood right in front of the small cabinet. As for Lambo, he also felt that the tool room was completely useless. They would call someone to fix any broken furniture, and the tools they actually needed could be stored in a small toolbox.
He opened the drawer, and the wrench lay quietly inside.
Getting and returning tools requires running to the tool room in the corner, which is both time-consuming and troublesome. Even if Lambo usually solves the problem with his hands or bombs, he doesn't want to run over to get tools.
But he doesn't find it troublesome to do this kind of thing.
Lambo picked up the wrench, then skipped and hopped back to the corner of the sofa, humming a tune.
He comfortably slipped inside, then used a wrench against the bottle cap, determined not to damage the bead itself, and took it out.
There was a crashing sound coming from upstairs. Hmm, maybe Tsuna knocked something over again?
My older brother is always so impulsive and clumsy at home, and as the eldest brother, Lambo always taught himself to be tolerant of his subordinates.
Upon hearing his ideas, Yamamoto Takeshi's expression became extremely unreadable, as if he had choked on his words, and his tone carried a sense of unspoken difficulty.
"Is that what Lambo is thinking?"
Lambo nodded. "Of course, Tsuna is my little brother!"
"Tsuna himself doesn't know about his underlings? Then I understand." This guy's flustered expression only lasted a second before he returned to his usual smiling demeanor.
Lambo occasionally found Yamamoto Takeshi's expression irritating, though he didn't know exactly why, but it was clearly the time that made him angry.
He snorted, turned around, and carried Yamamoto on his back.
Yamamoto Takeshi was just passing by. He turned and walked towards the second floor, probably to find Tsuna, Lambo thought casually, not too surprised.
Today isn't over yet, which means others can linger here for a while longer without having to rush back to school.
That commotion just now must have come from Vongola. He could confirm that the sound came from the second floor, since no one was living on the third floor at the moment.
Hibari watched the first day of the match, but hardly appeared afterward. After the start of the school year, he even went back to Namimori. That guy was wholeheartedly devoted to Namimori. He was willing to risk crowds and leaving Namimori just to watch the Vongola matches outside of Namimori.
Hmm, Lambo paused for a moment. Hibari was furious when the Vongola said they were going to come here to study. Well, in the end, it's better to go with Tsuna's decision.
With no one on the third floor, Hinata was even less willing to go up there. Last time Lambo saw her carefully skirting the staircase leading to the third floor, as if some monster might rush out from there at any moment.
Lei Shou felt something was strange. The biggest monster on the third floor was gone, so what could be more terrifying up there?
So he called out to Hinata in confusion, "Hey Hinata, what are you doing?"
His sudden shout startled Hinata, who was caught off guard, making her jump three feet high. Lambo looked at his short legs and felt a pang of jealousy, thinking, "Luckily the ceiling is high, otherwise Hinata would have bumped her head on it."
With Hibari Kyoya, whom Hinata had identified as "the one who suppresses ferocious beasts" and "the one who guards the gate to another world," gone, the already mysterious third floor, which had been embellished by his childhood friend, was now shrouded in even more shadow. He dared not even look up at the stairs unless absolutely necessary.
The dark entrance resembled the mouth of a man-eating monster.
He quickly covered Lambo's mouth, glanced warily left and right, and then whispered...
"Xiao Gang said there's a monster up there, so let's keep our voices down and not disturb it."
Lambo was utterly shocked. How could the Vongola have become so bold as to make fun of Hibari Kyoya?
He glanced at the bright staircase Hinata was pointing to; sunlight streamed into the room through the window at the corner. Lambo patted Hinata's waist to reassure him.
"The monster isn't home, so we don't need to be so careful anymore."
Hinata suddenly understood after hearing this. No wonder Hibari-senpai left. It turned out that the monster that needed to be guarded was not here, so the other party did not need to stay here.
The two happily reached an agreement and even went for a walk on the third floor together, but they didn't dare touch anything. Lambo even gave his new underling a lesson.
"Never go into the room in the very middle."
Upon hearing this, Hyuga immediately looked away without even glancing over.
Got it, that's the room where the monster is imprisoned.
Since Hibari wasn't there and no one was on the third floor, the sound must have come from the second floor. Lambo thought he was really clever.
He continued to rack his brains, convinced that the noise had come from Tsuna.
The blue plastic bottle cap was short and had been scratched by a wrench. Lambo was a little disappointed. It seemed impossible to get the glass bead out without damaging the bottle. He then remembered his initial plan to forcibly remove the bead.
But the sound of his brother knocking something over and it falling to the ground echoed in his mind. If he smashed the bottle right here, other people would definitely hear it.
Should we go smash it in the back garden?
The child didn't even think about what to do if the bottle broke into pieces, but the fact that he could think about sneaking around and doing bad things behind his family's back is a kind of progress.
Before Lambo could get up, the sofa next to him dented slightly. He looked up and the person from his mind appeared in front of him.
"Rambo, what are you doing here?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi searched around but eventually found out from Gokudera that the child was hiding in the sofa. After all, when a child is quiet, they usually want to give their parents a big shove.
The leader was well aware of this. The TV wasn't on, and after not hearing any sound from Lambo for a while, he went out to look for him, ignoring the noise.
Lambo, annoyed, hid the wrench behind his back, but forgot to hide the bottle.
So the Vongola immediately guessed what he was up to, and didn't want to force Lambo to say, but Hinata, who was going to the restaurant to find food after training, laughed heartily.
"Has it been so long and you still haven't taken the beads out? You should have let me help you earlier, hahaha."
Lambo pouted, "I don't want your help!"
This was a sign of their embarrassment and anger; Hyuga and Sawada Tsunayoshi exchanged a knowing smile.
Finally, Tsuna extended his hand, "Then I'll help Lambo."
Lambo weighed the pros and cons. Since he had already been ridiculed for what he was supposed to be ridiculed, and he couldn't handle it himself, he might as well ask the Vongola for help.
So he simply handed the bottle over.
Sawada Tsunayoshi sat up straight, holding the bottle cap in his hand. Hyuga curiously peeked over and saw that he hadn't brought any tools either.
"Bang!"
"What's wrong, Tenth Boss!" Gokudera Hayato rushed over.
Before he could even wonder if the Tenth Generation had knocked something over again, the crushed plastic bottle cap appeared before his eyes.
The leader apologized to Lambo, "Sorry, I didn't control my strength well, but the glass bead should be fine."
Lambo happily accepted the marble, Hinata was greatly shocked by the cracked bottle cap, Gokudera took Sawada Tsunayoshi's hand, and just as Hinata was thinking that he really should check if Tsunade was alright, the loyal dog looked at him with a pained expression.
"Tenth Generation, don't use glass cups next time you play, you'll cut your hands."
No, you call this playing?!

Author's Note: A glimpse into Little Sun's daily life in the Vongola.
Actually, this part is more like Lambo showing off, because he gets to stay by 27's side while everyone else is sent elsewhere [cat emoji].
