Chapter 152: Memories

01.

16-year-old Tsunayoshi Sawada confessing his sins.

——He seemed to scare the new transfer student.

So I told Reborn not to conduct surprise inspections on the rooftop! Now, not only did he get beaten up by Senior Skylark who was checking his conduct, but the flower pot that fell down almost hit someone. God knows he was so scared that his heart stopped beating when he saw someone downstairs!

The incident happened suddenly. It is reasonable to jump from the rooftop to save someone with fire on your head...haha...

The little baby wearing a black jazz hat pulled out his dick and said in a cold tone that was completely different from his cute appearance: "Now that he's exposed, there's nothing we can do, idiot, kill him."

Tsunayoshi Sawada was horrified: "Don't say such horrible things!!"

02.

Tsunayoshi Sawada, 16 years old, is an ordinary student in the high school department of Namimori Junior High School.

However, he secretly has another identity - the heir to the world's top mafia "Vongola Famiglia".

It is impossible to get rid of him. Although he is a member of the mafia and a boss, Sawada Tsunayoshi is kind-hearted and does not like fighting and killing. He is a rare healing person (who also serves as a sarcasm) in the mafia.

Lee Born declared himself disappointed with his outpouring of kindness and decided to give up and go to the rooftop to sunbathe.

Thinking to himself, "This guy just wants to shift the blame to someone else!", Tsunayoshi Sawada hesitated in front of the junior high school building for a long time, then walked in with his eyes closed.

The bell for the end of class had just rung, and the corridors and classrooms were filled with groups of students preparing to go to club activities.

The high school uniform didn't fit in, and as soon as he walked in, several pairs of eyes looked at him curiously. Someone even recognized him and asked, "Is that Senior Sawada from the first year in high school?"

Tsunayoshi Sawada himself is very low-key, but his friends are all celebrities in Namimori Junior High School, so it is normal for their fame to spread to the junior high school. He just thinks that he is remembered as a byproduct.

However, in fact, compared to the "good-for-nothing" who was not good at learning sports, he is now taller and has straight shoulders. The mixed-race genes in his body have taken effect. His facial features are still a little pale, but his handsome features are gradually showing.

After he called out "Sawada-senpai", some people in the classroom immediately made sounds of sudden enlightenment and surrounded him, saying, "Hello, senior, didn't you go to participate in the club activities? Senior, what are you doing here?"

The honest man Sawada Tsunayoshi almost couldn't bear such great enthusiasm. He was dizzy from the noise. Hearing the last question was like grasping at straws. He hurriedly said, "I came here to find someone!"

"Um, Kimino who transferred here a few days ago, do you know him?"

Finally asking the question, Sawada Tsunayoshi just breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly he felt that the atmosphere was not right.

The junior high school students who were chattering around him a second ago suddenly became quiet, looked at each other, and seemed to be hesitant to speak, with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

Could it be that he remembered it wrongly? Sawada Tsunayoshi was worried, but he saw that this was the name on the student list.

Finally, someone in the classroom whispered, "...Weirdo."

Like a pebble thrown into a pond, it caused a series of splashes, and voices echoed:

"He doesn't respond when you talk to him, doesn't bring his textbook to class, and doesn't even talk to the teacher."

"I haven't heard him speak a word. Is he dumb?"

"It won't be long before they move on anyway, so it's better to stay away from people like that."

…

The group is a loudspeaker that can infinitely amplify a little malice, a little resentment, and a little bit of the mentality of belittling others in order to show that one is sociable.

Tsunayoshi Sawada is no stranger to such malice, but he still feels uncomfortable when he experiences it from another perspective.

"…Excuse me," he said a little stiffly, "If he's not here, I'll go back first."

03.

After failing to find someone in the classroom, Tsunayoshi Sawada sighed on the way back.

In fact, he just wanted to apologize and explain why there was fire on his head and why he jumped from the sixth floor without any harm - but he had never passed the physics test, and the reason he made up now would make Newton very angry.

Sawada Tsunayoshi was worried and didn't pay attention to his feet. Suddenly, he was tripped by someone and fell into the green grass next to him.

"It hurts!" He rolled and crawled, rubbing his arm and complaining with tears in his eyes, "What are you doing, Bourne!"

Reborn came out of the sprinkler and tapped him on the head calmly. "Look over there."

Looking in the direction indicated by Reborn's eyes, Sawada Tsunayoshi stopped rubbing his arm.

There was a figure sitting, no, squatting, next to the pool.

The boy seemed to be searching for something on the ground. His uniform, which was originally a bit too big, now hung heavily on his body. Although he had rolled up his sleeves several times, they would fall down again if he moved too much, and he would have to roll them up again without getting tired of it.

The wet wrist was thin and white, almost transparent.

The books on the ground were also wet.

…That’s too much.

Perhaps because Sawada Tsunayoshi suddenly appeared and blocked the light, the boy's long eyelashes fluttered and he raised his eyes.

When he saw a vast expanse of golden color in front of him, Tsunayoshi Sawada realized that he had subconsciously spoken out his thoughts.

The sunlight was dazzling as summer was about to begin. The boy was thin and his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

He looked up and saw that Sawada Tsunayoshi had no intention of leaving, so he lowered his head again, picked up the book that was still dripping with water on the lawn, and stood up silently.

Sawada Tsunayoshi woke up from a dream and called out to him, "Classmate...!"

Not surprisingly ignored.

But this time, he was not chased by Hibari Kyoya, so Sawada Tsunayoshi had plenty of time and immediately chased after him. "Um, I'm really sorry about what happened on the rooftop before. Are you okay?"

"My name is Tsunayoshi Sawada, everyone calls me Tsuna."

"It's not the way back to the classroom - eh? Are you going home? It's fine, haha..."

Along the way, only Sawada Tsunayoshi was muttering to himself. In the end, he didn't even know what he was talking about and could only shut up in embarrassment.

The boy kept his eyes down the whole time, and just like the comments of the people in the classroom, he did not react at all.

I don't care who is chattering around me, nor do I care who those things are related to. Like a paper boat with doors and windows closed, I don't care about anyone, not even myself.

Ten meters away from the school gate, Sawada Tsunayoshi clenched and unclenched his fingers and exhaled deeply.

As he covered the boy with the coat that he had no chance to give away along the way, he held his breath the whole time, fearing that he would be rejected if he breathed too loudly.

The latter's eyes, as clear as glass beads, turned to him.

"It's easy to get sick if you wear wet clothes," explained Tsunayoshi Sawada.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Can you tell me your name?"

04.

Sawada Tsunayoshi unilaterally felt that his relationship with Seira could be called friends!

Ah, to avoid misunderstanding, I have to explain here that the name "Seiyoshi" was not told to him by the other party, but was seen and written down by Sawada Tsunayoshi in the student roster, and he only dared to call it silently in his heart.

The next day, Seiryo returned his coat to him. Sawada Tsunayoshi never mentioned which class he was in, and that day his Chinese teacher kept him after class. When he left the office with his head down, half of the sky was covered with stars.

The boy stood alone at the school gate, not knowing how long he had been waiting. The patrolling security guard was about to come over to inquire about the situation.

Tsunayoshi Sawada quickly stopped the security guard and explained that this was his brother. He was then scolded by the security guard, "How could you let someone wait for you for so long! Stop running around and take your brother home!"

"Yes!! I'm sorry for causing you trouble!!"

Sawada Tsunayoshi apologized loudly, grabbed the boy's hand and quickly fled the scene before the security guard could react.

"Brother" was forcibly dragged by him to run a few steps. A faint layer of blood appeared on his porcelain-white face. When he stopped, he was panting, his eyes were confused, and he didn't understand why it turned out like this.

Tsunayoshi Sawada very consciously sent the person home.

After that, although we still didn't exchange names, we often met on the street. It was still only Sawada Tsunayoshi who talked, and he enjoyed it so much that he almost learned to tell comic dialogues.

The only ones who felt sorry were his friends who had been waiting to go to school with him. After Sawada Tsunayoshi tactfully said, "I want to go back alone," Jigokudera Hayato, who claimed to be the tenth generation's right-hand man, beat his chest and stamped his feet, and with tears in his eyes, he asked if they had done something wrong to make him unhappy.

Sawada Tsunayoshi comforted her for a long time, feeling both amused and helpless.

Maybe it was useless and unnecessary kindness, but he thought that he couldn't just abandon the child.

I find all kinds of lame excuses every day and try not to repeat topics. Even if there is no reward, I am not discouraged and I look forward to tomorrow even more.

The boy would occasionally look up at him, his nice-shaped eyes showing no emotion at all, just staring at him quietly.

Most people would be scared if they were stared at like this, but Tsunayoshi Sawada always felt encouraged and even had more motivation to tell jokes.

He naively thought that doing so would make Shengliang happy.

05.

The Tenth Generation of Vongola had experienced assassinations and kidnappings many times before, but so far no one had succeeded under the nose of the world's number one killer.

However, this time, the result was no exception, and an unexpected thing happened.

In order to lure out the tenth generation who was under heavy protection, the killer kidnapped people around him and forced Sawada Tsunayoshi to come to the base alone. However, he underestimated Sawada Tsunayoshi's fighting ability, and after all his men were defeated, he knew he was no match for him, so he shot himself cleanly.

Sawada Tsunayoshi understood it at a glance.

The wound had penetrated the brain and the killer was undoubtedly dead.

He has been through a lot since the day he was told that he is the candidate for the tenth generation of Vongola, but he still can't get used to seeing his life passing by.

Sawada Tsunayoshi stood there for three seconds, then suddenly woke up and went to untie the boy. His hands were so stiff that he couldn't move them, so he pulled off his gloves with his mouth.

The boy was tied up for too long, and the bruises and scars on his body were shocking. But he arrived too late.

...Shengliang was completely dragged into this by him and suffered an unprovoked disaster.

The boy was too quiet. He didn't speak a word and didn't cry out in pain. He was like a rag doll that had been torn to pieces, with his eyes sewn with buttons and covered with dust that could not be wiped away.

It was not until he untied all the ropes on him that Sawada Tsunayoshi noticed that the killer's body was still there.

He was stunned, forced a smile, and covered the boy's eyes: "...Don't look."

That must be a smile uglier than crying.

The eyelashes under my palm trembled and closed obediently.

Reborn came out from behind him - he always did this, appearing in unexpected places.

"Stop being stupid, Tsuna."

The childish voice was tinged with a cold tone: "It's not like he's a kid who knows nothing."

"He and Rokudo Mukuro come from the same place. According to Mafia rules, you and he are still enemies."

Sawada Tsunayoshi's pupils shrank slightly.

Six Path Corpses.

Two years ago, Mukuro escaped from the Avengers prison, and the first thing he did was to plan to seize his body and destroy the Mafia, but he ultimately failed.

"...I don't care about the Mafia's rubbish rules." Sawada Tsunayoshi gritted his teeth, "Seihara is different from Mukuro."

He thought that maybe the shock he had suffered today was too great, and he had the courage to go against Lee Bourne, and he would definitely be severely punished by the evil tutor in a while.

No matter what, he would say it even if he got beaten, Damn it, Lee Bourne, if he really thought Shengliang was an enemy, he wouldn’t say these things to his face!

Reborn jumped up the stairs and looked down. His dark eyes made Tsunayoshi Sawada's back feel creepy.

A faint voice interrupted.

"……skeleton."

"Who is Mukuro?"

Faint, like the last trickle of water coming out of a dried-up spring.

Sawada Tsunayoshi's dazed gaze met the boy's blank eyes. The latter looked at him, his lips moved twice, and no other sound came out.

Sawada Tsunayoshi was immediately in a panic, "Mukuro he...he..." His brain was spinning rapidly, and he blurted out: "Mukuro is a friend of mine, but he has gone away for something and may not be back for a long time, that..."

He was still racking his brains to think of what to say next, when his eyes suddenly froze, "You're bleeding?!"

The blood was not obvious on his black clothes, and he was kneeling the whole time, so the blood seeped down his trouser seams onto the ground before being noticed. There were several cuts on his calves, and bloody cuts were visible.

The discussion about Mukuro came to a temporary end, and Sawada Tsunayoshi took the boy home to treat his wounds and gave him a week of sick leave.

Sawada Tsunayoshi was originally worried that he would not be able to get used to it, but surprisingly, Seira stayed with Sawada Nana every day without showing any discomfort, and his mother also liked this beautiful and obedient child.

And, maybe because of the mention of Mukuro, he started talking.

Although I seldom speak and remain silent most of the time, I am slowly learning to communicate with others.

Every time Sawada Tsunayoshi heard it, he felt like he was dreaming, especially when Seira was talking to him. He was flattered, moved, and relieved, and he almost wanted to record it with a tape recorder.

In the end, she gave up the idea only after Lee Born ruthlessly kicked her and mocked her, "What kind of mother are you?"

06.

At school, everyone gradually changed into their summer uniforms. Although the weather was hot and the sun was shining brightly, the thought of the approaching summer vacation boosted their spirits.

Turning down the corridor, Tsunayoshi Sawada saw a familiar figure in front of the Discipline Committee's office.

The boy was still wearing his long-sleeved school uniform and was holding a pile of papers. The cuffs of his shirt covered most of his palms, revealing his slender white fingertips.

"... Seira?" Sawada Tsunayoshi walked over and lowered his voice carefully, "Why are you standing here?"

This is the headquarters of the discipline committee members. If a fly flies in, it will be hit twice.

Kono Seiryoshi pointed to the other side of the corridor and said, "Just now there was a man who said he had a stomachache."

He looked down at the documents in his arms and said, "Let me help you get it in there."

Sawada Tsunayoshi: "...Do you know that person?"

The gray-haired boy shook his head.

Sawada Tsunayoshi: “…”

Did he run away? He must have run away in fear!

After all, behind the door is the No. 1 ferocious god that Hei Sheng must not mess with!

Sawada Tsunayoshi covered his face and sighed heavily.

It was a good thing that Seiryoshi was willing to speak, but after the excitement, Sawada Tsunayoshi discovered something quite serious.

That is, Seiryoshi Kono would hardly reject anyone's words.

When Tsunayoshi Sawada first noticed this, he was almost scared to death. He turned into a worried old mother and advised earnestly, "Unreasonable requests must be rejected!"

Then I was asked, “What is an unreasonable request?”

Sawada Tsunayoshi: “…” The situation is very serious.

Sawada Tsunayoshi had a stomachache and wanted to pull him aside to explain that "everything related to the Discipline Commissioner should be stayed away from."

Before he could finish his words, the door suddenly opened from the inside.

"Senior Yun Que!"

Sawada Tsunayoshi was shocked and bowed 90 degrees reflexively, "We will leave immediately!"

Hibari Kyoya, who was wearing an old-fashioned school uniform, just glanced at him and said, "Come in by yourself."

Sawada Tsunayoshi: “!”

He prepared himself to be beaten up by Fu Pingguai, but out of the corner of his eye he saw a young man holding documents pushing the door open.

Sawada Tsunayoshi was startled, "Wait——"

He had barely opened his mouth when the door slammed shut, brushing against the tip of his nose.

The weather was hot, but Tsunayoshi Sawada shivered for no apparent reason.

Just now...was Senior Hibari talking to Seiryo?

07.

"I saw him behind the library. He was looking for the bird."

The boy recalled and said slowly: "It was very quiet there, and Mr. Yun Que was a very nice person."

After hearing this, Sawada Tsunayoshi's stomach hurt even more.

The brutal reputation of the Discipline Committee Chairman spread throughout Namimori Town, and he violently ruled the junior high and high school departments. This was the first time he heard someone praise Hibari Kyoumi for being a good person.

After no longer being ostracized by his peers, many people gathered around the handsome boy. Most of them were discouraged by his still taciturn personality, but some still persevered.

And because of the appearance of Skylark, those people who had been persevering disappeared without a trace.

Tsunayoshi Sawada couldn't tell what he felt, and didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Forget it, he sighed, it should be a good thing at this stage.

After figuring out the relationship, Tsunayoshi Sawada forced himself not to think about it anymore and shifted his gaze to the person beside him.

The boy was concentrating on eating. He broke off a small piece of rice and fed it to the bird on the table.

The little yellow bird Yundou pecked twice, chirped twice, and suddenly flew from the table to the top of his head, nesting in his hair and lying motionless.

When the bell rang for the end of lunch break, Yundou still showed no intention of getting up.

The boy's expressionless face finally revealed some confusion and distress.

...very cute.

Sawada Tsunayoshi, who saw the entire scene, couldn't help laughing. He quickly looked away before the boy looked over and coughed twice guiltily.

This summer was so long that he thought it would never end.

——If Rokudo Mukuro hadn't shown up on the day of the school festival.

The author has something to say:

The summary is from Xi Murong's "Prayer", an excerpt: "Please give me a long summer, give me a flawless memory, give me a gentle heart, give me a pure love"

It’s been a long time since I wrote about the school days! So cute!

So it was not easy to grow up to be what you are now, Seira, thanks to the fact that you became a mother at the young age of 27 (wiping tears)
