Chapter 1

As they passed by, the boss of Kono Seiryoshi's boss, the tenth generation head of the Vongola family, Sawada Tsuneyoshi, suddenly stopped and called him with a gentle and caring tone: "Seiryoshi, are you not feeling well today?"

Kouno Seira was awakened from his sleepwalking, and then he realized that the distance between him and the tenth generation was only a dozen centimeters. He quickly took a few steps back, and his expression showed a bit of apology, "Sorry... I slept a little late last night."

Harumori, who was following behind the Judaime, was surprised and said, "Your dark circles are so obvious, Kono, you didn't stay up late to work again, did you? Don't push yourself too hard."

Kono, who had actually stayed up all night playing games, almost froze. He covered his lips and coughed twice to hide his subtle embarrassment, then raised his eyes and smiled, "Thank you, Tenth Generation and Mr. Sasakawa, for your concern. I'll pay attention."

——Remember to avoid others next time you stay up all night! You must not let your boss, especially the tenth generation, see it!

He was the tenth generation, and was praised by the entire family, from the former leader to the cleaning lady. He was ranked No. 1 in the "Your Favorite Boss Type" contest organized privately by the employees for five consecutive years (PS: this event was held five times in total)! He was too careless. How could he show such a lax side in front of the tenth generation!

If he hadn't just had a vacation and was embarrassed to ask for another leave, Kono Seira would never have shown up at the company in this state, and was caught by the tenth generation who had just flown back from the Japanese branch.

Kono Seiryoshi shed tears of regret in his heart.

Perfect boss Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't care about his daydreaming and smiled gently, "If it's just that you don't get enough sleep, go back and rest today."

"...Huh?" Kono Seira didn't expect the tenth generation to be so considerate, and was flattered: "Yes, can I? But I haven't finished my work for today..."

"I'll help you explain to Hibari-senpai." Sawada Tsunayoshi winked at him, his warm brown eyes making it impossible to refuse. "If you still feel uncomfortable, be sure to see the doctor at the headquarters."

If reality is a strategy game, the player Sawada Tsunayoshi will receive a notification that the character Kouno Sei's good impression is 100%.

The extremely moved Kono Seira decided to vote for the tenth generation in the "your favorite boss type" vote this year.

Obedience is worse than courtesy. He said goodbye to the two of them politely and returned to the office briskly. Before leaving, he thought for a moment and decided to take the documents back.

I sent another text message to Hibari-senpai, but I wasn't in a hurry to wait for a reply, as Hibari Kyoya should still be at the training ground at this time.

The company where Kono Seira currently works is, on the surface, a prosperous investment consortium, but in reality it is an industry owned by the Vongola family, Italy's leading mafia organization.

Although it is called the Mafia, under the leadership of the Tenth Generation, the Vongola is more like a self-defense organization with weapons and superhuman strength. It has assets, scale, power and reputation, especially the six guardians and the leader, who are the core of the entire family.

Kono Seira is very aware of his physical fitness. He probably had this goal clear before he was born. His skill points are a mess and he doesn't rely on his combat power at all. He gloriously became a loser with a combat power of 5 in the Vongola.

Speaking of his appalling fighting ability, we have to mention Kono Seira's top boss, Kumomori Hibari, a battle maniac whose strength is terrifying even in the Vongola group where many strong people gather.

After bringing out Kouno Seijiro who was taken hostage by the enemy organization for the third time, Chairman Hibari finally lost his patience and ruthlessly threw him into the training room, ignoring Kouno Seijiro's sincere words, "Even though you've been captured, don't worry, I've already stolen all their intelligence!"

After a week of devilish training, everyone in Vongola knew... In stark contrast to his previous outstanding missions, Kono Seira had no talent for fighting.

His boss was so angry that he stormed out, and Kono Seiryoshi covered his red and swollen wrist and sighed at the messy training ground.

Yu Shou, who was watching from the sidelines, laughed heartily and patted him on the shoulder. "If you are not good at close combat, do you want to learn how to use a sword from me?"

Gongye Shengliang hung his head in despair and reflected deeply: "Thank you, but it's no use. I'm already tired of cold weapons."

Lan Shou, who was passing by, widened his eyes in astonishment: "What - Gongye, do you understand it too? Explosion is art!"

“…”

After earnestly explaining to the two guardians that "you should kill yourself before hurting others", Kono Seiryoshi learned from his mistakes and went to the assassination unit to study hard for several months. He learned various self-rescue tricks with difficulty despite the XANXUS's contempt.

Yun Que Gongmi was too lazy to check his learning results, so he directly transferred him from the spy department to a secretary and put him under his nose, waiting to see which blind organization dared to kidnap him.

But Kimino Seiryoshi thinks that Hibari Kyoya simply wants to fight with the killers sent by the enemy organization.

Thanks to the notorious Vongola Yunshou, Kono Seiryoshi was never ambushed again after that. He felt a little regretful that the skills he had worked so hard to learn were not put to use.

But he didn't dare say this to Senior Yun Que. He only dared to whisper a few words to him while feeding Yun Dou.

By the way, Yundou should be taking a walk with senior Yunque now.

After returning home, the bright light that Kono Seiryoshi had forced upon his eyes suddenly disappeared.

He fell onto the bed in a daze, buried his head in the soft pillow, took a deep breath, and countless broken and chaotic thoughts flashed through his mind.

I don’t know if Senior Yun Que will be depressed again because he didn’t see him delivering the documents, but he certainly wasn’t feeling well today… He’ll go and apologize tomorrow.

Last week he took seven consecutive days off for his annual leave and stayed in his apartment playing games. The consequence of staying up late and turning day and night upside down was that every cell in his body was rebelliously trying to strike, especially the aching nerves in his brain, which made him wish he could be hit by a stick by Senior Yun Que and fall unconscious on the spot.

By the way, what was the content of that game that made him so obsessed?

…I can’t remember anything except the name, what a shame.

Gongye Shengliang half closed his eyes, his trembling eyelashes slowly covering his golden pupils, and fell into a deep sleep.

--

[Nice to meet you, Contractor. Are you ready to save the world?]

Kono Seiryoshi rubbed his eyes and looked around in confusion.

He was sitting in a boundless white space, with a winged ball of light flying around him up and down above his head. The electronic sound just now came from within the ball.

Three seconds later, Kono Seira made a judgment on the current situation and said, "This is a dream."

He put his hands together and placed them on the side of his face, changing to a more comfortable position, and closed his eyes quietly, "Good night."

Light Ball: [……]

The system from the distant parallel world paused for a moment, then flapped its wings again. A snowflake-like feather fluttered down and turned into fluorescent light the moment it touched Kono Seiryoshi.

As if it was originally a part of him, the fluorescence smoothly integrated into his body.

But the next moment, Gongye Shengliang felt a sudden dull pain in his chest. His pounding heart seemed to be screaming something crazily, and the amplified buzzing sound in his ears made it impossible to distinguish what was going on.

He opened his eyes suddenly, but his vision was still dark. In just a few seconds, his shirt was soaked with cold sweat.

[This is your past memory.] The ball of light slowly descended, its wings brushed against his still trembling fingers, and his palpitations subsided. [I have adjusted the pain sensitivity to 50% for you.]

There was still a slight pain in his brain, but it was much better than before. Kono Seiryoshi panted slightly to calm his breathing, and calmed down to examine this extra memory.

…It seemed like it was on the sixth day of his vacation. He was addicted to playing games and when he opened the refrigerator to get a cold drink, his eyes went dark and he almost died suddenly.

He was a bit embarrassed that he died suddenly while playing games instead of in the battle to protect his family.

Kono Seiryoshi coughed lightly and looked at the ball of light with a delicate mood: "Why are my memories with you?"

This is not a collectible worth remembering; the person involved just feels extremely ashamed.

[I didn't mean to take it, you dropped it.]

The light ball answered, and then swayed up to the air, stopping at a level angle. A calm electronic voice came: [Do you still remember the game you played? During the time when you lost your memory, your consciousness entered the game. The rest is omitted.]

Kono Seiryoshi: “……???” Can such an important content be omitted? ?

[I can't say too much, but there is one thing I must tell you - because your consciousness entered and suddenly left, the character you created started the self-destruction program, and the world line is on the verge of destruction.]

The electronic voice raised its tone and read in a flat voice: [So come and save the world, Contractor! I believe in you!]

Kono Seiryoshi felt a little suffocated.

He couldn't remember what he had done. He felt that the missing memory was very important. But no matter how important it was, he was a frail clerical worker whose use of Vongola flames remained at the kindergarten level of hot milk and bento. What on earth did he do to destroy the world line?

The light ball seemed to guess what he was thinking, and took the initiative to explain: [The world line is constructed by every choice you made. Becoming a contractor, repairing the world line, and getting your memory back at the same time is actually a mutually beneficial thing.]

[If you don't believe it, try it first.]

The ball of light jumped onto Kono Seiryoshi's knees and stretched out its right wing like a human shaking hands. [The result of the character's self-destruction cannot be changed, but I can send you back to the previous time node. It's up to you to choose from now on.]

The soft halo of light gradually enveloped his entire body, and the familiar warmth made Gong Ye Shengliang's eyes widen slightly.

This is... the power of the Sky Ring.

As if possessed by a magic spell, he stretched out his fingers and lightly touched the snow-white wings.

[Next you will enter a strange world and meet strange people and things. Don't worry about being exposed, because you are still you.]

[The only thing to note is that memories will only be unlocked as the mission progresses. The system cannot interfere with the direction of the world line, but will try its best to provide assistance.]

[Ten seconds later, the first world line opens——]
