Chapter 127
Small animals are not only brave, they can be even braver.
Amemiya Ruisei would even come to the reception room to find him after school every day, just like he was punching in for work. He didn't care even if he was kicked out by him. Even if he chased people with a duckweed crutch, the boy would just run away quickly while spitting blood, and then come again the next day.
One time, he failed to control his strength and knocked someone unconscious. He followed the man to the hospital and watched him being taken to the emergency room by the ambulance. He then asked Kusanagi Tetsuya to stay and wait, and left.
During the days when Amemiya Ruisei was in the hospital, the reception room after school was exceptionally quiet. Hibari Kyoumi was sleeping on the sofa, and no one would be so blind as to come in and disturb him. However, he unexpectedly found it difficult to sleep.
Another week later, he asked about Amamiya Reizo's condition, and Kusanabe Tetsuya answered truthfully, "He was discharged from the hospital four days ago, and he has not taken leave in the past few days and has come to class."
You have been discharged from the hospital, but you don’t dare to come to see him again?
Hibari sneered.
As expected, herbivores are herbivores.
As a result, the next day after he thought this, Amamiya Ruishou came. He did not come alone, and he was holding a kitten in his hands.
The kitten is a calico female cat, about two months old. It hasn't grown up yet, but it can be held in one hand. Even though Yun Que Gong Mi has an intimidating aura, it is not afraid at all. When being held by Yu Gong Lei Sheng, it meows softly at him and even stretches out its claws to touch him.
"…What are you doing?" Why are you bringing a cat here?
The boy scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Gongmi, don't you like small animals? This is a kitten I picked up a few days ago. Because it was injured, I have been taking care of it in the veterinary hospital these days. Now that its injury has healed, I brought it here to show you. If you don't want to keep it, I will keep it."
Yun Que lowered his head respectfully and met the kitten's round eyes. He discovered that the kitten had a pair of heterochromatic pupils, one blue and one green, which was very beautiful.
The little cat tilted its head: "Meow~"
Hibari Kyoya: "Who told you that I like small animals?"
"Ah?" Amamiya Leisheng blinked blankly, "But you kept calling me little animal, little animal, in such a calm tone, I thought you called me that because you liked me."
Hibari Kyoya: "...Take it away. I won't support it."
Amamiya Leisheng lowered his head in disappointment: "Oh, okay."
Just as Hibari Kyouya turned around and was about to sit back on the sofa, a pair of hands handed the kitten to him. Amamiya Leisei smiled and said, "Do you want to touch it? It's very cute."
"Meow~" the kitten responded, stretching out its claws as much as possible, as if trying to reach out to Hibari Gongmi.
Hibari Kyoya: “…”
He reached out, took the kitten in his arms, and fell asleep on the sofa - the soft touch of the little animal rested in his arms, and the boy's happy laughter was in his ears.
The kitten was finally kept in the reception room. When Amamiya Reisheng came to see him again, he did not take out the duckweed crutch to chase him away. He completely ignored the other party's jokes about the cat beside him. When Amamiya Reisheng spoke to him, he only responded with a few words occasionally.
Later... later someone came to the reception room, and the kitten secretly ran out, ran onto the road, and was run over by a car.
When Hibari Kyoya arrived there, he saw Amamiya Raizo squatting on the side of the road, holding the dead cat, with red blood stains on his front. If there was no blood around his mouth, Hibari Kyoya would almost have thought that the stains on the boy's clothes were the blood he had spit out.
“Kyouya,” Amamiya Raisei said softly, “it’s dead.”
"The kitten died."
…
"Why are you asking this?" Amamiya Reizo asked in confusion, "Even if...even if he is the 'Amamiya Reizo' from a parallel world, it doesn't mean that we are the same, right? Look, even the development of the world is different."
Yun Que Gong Mi lowered his eyes and said, "He looks healthy, unlike you."
"Oh, this one."
Amemiya Rei scratched his hair and said, "I'm also very healthy, even though I always vomit blood - but haven't I had regular physical examinations in recent years? There's nothing serious wrong with my body." At most, working late at night has caused his body to be a little weak. Minor problems can be repaired with energy.
"If I were really dying, I wouldn't agree to fight with you."
The young man smiled and said, "Don't worry, you won't die. It's been so many years, don't you know me well? Vomiting blood is just vomiting, it won't hurt me."
Hibari Kyoya: "You said you won't die."
Amamiya Leisheng nodded affirmatively: "Yeah!"
Ten years later, the time for the Bazooka arrived, and the two figures disappeared from the spot. The one who appeared again did not look back at the Vongola, but left directly.
As soon as Amamiya Leisei stood still, he saw Bai Lan's face without surprise. He didn't believe that Bai Lan Jiesuo would not be interested in the parallel world self who came over. He glanced at the table in front of him and saw that the two of them had been drinking tea, chatting and eating snacks here for half an hour.
The food was provided by Tetsuya Kusanagi.
"Mr. Byakuran, don't you think it's shameless to eat and drink for free at the Vongola?" Amamiya sneered rudely.
Bai Lan blinked innocently: "I have no face."
Amamiya Leisei: "Then you can leave now, Mr. Faceless. I won't come here again in ten years."
He decisively drove Bai Lan away, almost kicking her out of the yard. Before leaving, Bai Lan turned back and shouted, "Don't forget what we discussed, Leisheng!"
Amemiya Ruisei ignored him, turned around and contacted Sawada Tsunayoshi.
"A Gang, I want to go back to Italy!" Amemiya Leisheng's face was grim, "Right away, secretly!" He wanted to go back and ask Ricky and Mamon about Yuni, but Bai Lan couldn't let him know.
Sawada Tsunayoshi: “…Okay.”
Anyway, Irie Shoichi has already been contacted, so it doesn't matter whether Amamiya Ruisei comes back or not.
"But brother Leisheng," Sawada Tsunayoshi coughed lightly, "I still have to tell you that Reborn has prepared a new job for you. Do you really want to come back?"
Amamiya Ruisei was silent for a while: "What kind of work?"
"That's right, the fact that you are the researcher of the box weapon is basically known to other families. So when you come back, you will have to act as a negotiator and discuss the box weapon with other families. The deputy minister is in charge during this period. If you come back, it would be better for you to come."
Amamiya Leisheng asked cautiously, "How many families have you not discussed yet?"
"Well, let me see..." Sawada Tsunayoshi flipped through the documents and said, "There are still six. On average, we discuss one a week, which will probably take more than a month. In addition, the data of the box weapon needs to be debugged. We have tested it repeatedly during this period and found some loopholes. There are a few that can only be solved by you when you come back."
“…”
"Brother Leisheng? If you don't want to come back, you can work remotely."
"Forget it. Since I have to work whether I go back or not, I might as well go back." Amamiya said listlessly, "Help me arrange a flight."
"Okay, I understand. Then will Senior Hibari come back?"
"I'll ask him."
Amamiya Reizo looked at Hibari Kyoya and found that he was wiping his crutch with a handkerchief. The corner of his mouth twitched: "Kyoya, what are you doing?" Can't wait to go back and fight?
The other party didn't answer, so Amamiya Leisei continued, "Should you come back with me? Or do you want to go back by yourself when the time comes?"
"Of course I'll go back with you."
"Okay," Amamiya Raisei continued speaking into the phone, "Kyouya said he wanted to go with me."
After making the arrangements, Amamiya Rei contacted Reborn again and told him that he had something to ask him and asked him not to go out on the mission for the time being.
Leeborn readily agreed and suggested, "In that case, you can come back and help me with my work for the next two days. After all, you won't let me go out."
"No way. How can I do your job? That's what killers do."
Amamiya hung up the phone angrily and went to pack his luggage.
Hibari Kyoya watched the young man's energetic exchange and bickering with Sawada Tsunayoshi and Riebonne, and then he skipped away. He lowered his eyes and stared at the cleaned duckweed crutch in his hand. It was reflected calmly in his black pupils, and his eyes were also reflected on the smooth metal surface.
He closed his eyes for a long time, then let out a soft laugh from his throat.
