Squalo sliced through Otos's clothes with his sword: "Hey, hey, hey, open your damn eyes and look! This clearly belongs to our Varia."
Kurari Enma mustered his courage and spoke, "It should belong to our Simon Family."
Gojo Satoru took off his glasses. "Get lost, the two of you. He was clearly the one who approached us first."
Dazai Osamu curled his lips into a smile. "I have evidence."
Bourbon said calmly, "I have surveillance footage."
Mm, what a sight to behold. Laughter echoed from outside while they held their own unique free combat match here; as for the thoughts of the prize itself, they were completely unimportant.
Who could say they weren't using this banquet as an excuse to settle a score? A Clown is a Clown after all; he doesn't possess that much charisma.
As they fought, they failed to notice the signs of the illusionary space collapsing, or perhaps they noticed but the master of the illusion simply didn't care.
At some unknown time, the host of the banquet stood by their side, watching them cause destruction with a cold gaze.
“Everyone, calm down and stay focused on the zero point breakthrough.”
Mm, today is another happy day.
Chapter 108: Our Feelings [End]
Sawada Tsunayoshi had been thinking about one thing lately, that was his emotional problems.
The topic came up because, during a negotiation with a Family Leader, the other party casually boasted that both of his children had found the person they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with.
Then, he casually asked if Sawada Tsunayoshi had someone he was interested in.
Regarding this, Sawada Tsunayoshi shook his head. The other party said that he was still young and could take more time to think about it; this matter was about mutual consent and the serendipity of the moment, so there was no rush, the longer he waited, the better the eventual outcome would be.
The two of them finished their pleasant conversation, but this matter caused ripples in Sawada Tsunayoshi's heart.
That's right, he is already in his twenties, so why is no one talking about his romantic life, no one is pressuring him to get married.
Across the ocean, his parents occasionally asked if he had someone he liked when they remembered they had a son. He said he didn't, so his parents, who only cared about him, didn't ask any further.
To be honest, one of the minor reasons Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't want to start a family was his disappointment regarding his parents' inaction; he didn't want to neglect his own children because of a romantic partner. He never wanted to experience such a painful experience play out in the next generation.
Tsuna asked Reborn, "Does Vongola have any requirements for marriage, or any requirement that the Leader must produce an heir?"
Reborn, who had already taken on an adult's physique, calmly set down his teacup. "Why do you ask? Has someone been whispering in your ear?"
Not really, I just suddenly remembered it.
Reborn raised an eyebrow: "Suddenly remembered? Don't tell me you have a secret crush."
Neither did I.
Seeing that he truly had no thoughts on the matter, Reborn explained, "There are no such requirements. Vongola isn't so useless that it needs a marriage alliance to consolidate its position. As for continuing the bloodline, do you know how many people possess Vongola blood? Heh, do you know how many people are coveting your position?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi slumped over the table, his face pressed against it. "I know."
People occasionally let their minds wander.
Reborn said coldly and ruthlessly, "If you still have time to let your mind wander, it means your workload isn't heavy enough. It just so happens that I have.."
Sawada Tsunayoshi jumped up. To think that this Leader still retained the childishness of his teenage years—it was truly a rare sight in the Hidden World.
You can't do that, I already have enough work as it is, Reborn, don't add any more.
I'm heading out now, bye-bye.
There was no time for idle thoughts; was there not enough work to do? Regardless, Tsuna slipped away.
Even though he had slipped away, it didn't mean the problem had disappeared; Sawada Tsunayoshi was still thinking about his own romantic issues.
In the middle of the night, when all was quiet, he logged onto a hidden Vongola website, which was filled with fan fiction about him and the leaders of the various Alliance Families, with members even casting votes on it.
That's right, Tsuna had also heard rumors about himself and his Guardians; it seemed some people outside thought he didn't have a wife because he had something secret going on with those close male friends.
To be honest, Sawada Tsunayoshi felt nothing seeing these news; at first, he was a bit surprised, followed by a sense of bashfulness, finally, it turned into a kind of indifference.
Reflecting on the first half of his life, he seemed to have liked Kyoko during his school days; back then, it was a pursuit and affection for something beautiful. His adolescent infatuation was so pure, so pure that it lacked all the complexities adults have when dealing with emotions, being simply a form of spiritual solace and yearning.
After growing up and throwing himself into the Mafia business, the women he encountered were all single-mindedly focused on their careers, any kindness they showed him was only because they wanted to build a good relationship with the Vongola Tenth Generation.
Perhaps there were those who simply liked him, but he gave no response.
He felt that once he committed himself to this profession, marrying someone on a whim would be a sign of irresponsibility.
Tsuna was thinking about what kind of feelings he had for the Guardians, for Reborn, for the Alliance Families.
The night grants humanity sensibility.
His right-hand man, Gokudera Hayato, was the first to pledge his loyalty to him. Sawada Tsunayoshi felt a sense of friendship toward him, as well as a deep trust.
Yamamoto Takeshi was a classmate from the same school, Sawada Tsunayoshi always felt a sense of guilt toward him, but he also shared a pure, youthful friendship with him.
And for Senior Hibari, it was an ultimate trust and an unparalleled sense of security.
As for Rokudo Mukuro, it was a subtle, indescribable sense of trust.
There was also a sense of security regarding Kawarihei, as if he were true family.
As for Lambo, it was a feeling of care and protection, as if he were a little brother.
And what about Byakuran? Was it a relationship of both rivals and friends? He was indeed furious about what Byakuran had done, but later, they established a sincere diplomatic relationship.
He felt a sense of mutual appreciation for his senior, Dino; their similar personalities and certain traits allowed them to understand each other more deeply.
Regarding Xanxus, Sawada Tsunayoshi felt an indescribable heartache, perhaps feeling a sense of pity for his experiences.
As for his feelings toward Reborn, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he trusted him completely. He was the one who gave him a new life, the guide on his path of growth, a mentor who led him forward, a wingless angel who suddenly appeared by his side.
At this thought, Tsuna chuckled in the darkness; if Reborn knew he thought of him this way, he would surely die of laughter.
A messenger of hell would be more accurate; how could he be called a wingless angel? If Dino heard that, he would laugh at him.
In short, Tsuna thought a lot tonight, even in his dreams, he saw their figures.
The next day, Sawada Tsunayoshi stayed in bed longer than usual. He seemed to have reverted to his middle school days when he didn't want to get up and was forced to rise by Reborn, though this time, Reborn didn't use a firearm to threaten him.
The sunlight outside the window was just right, Sawada Tsunayoshi decided to take a day off for himself in just a single second.
After approving his own leave, he set off to have fun at the amusement park newly built by Vongola.
No one disturbed him all day, allowing the busy Leader to have a wonderful time.
However, it seemed a bit lonely; just when did he become a man who needed companionship?
Sawada Tsunayoshi had a smile playing on his lips as he sent a mass message via his phone.
Upon receiving the message, Gokudera Hayato immediately dropped everything and ran toward the destination, with Yamamoto following closely behind. Gokudera bared his teeth and snapped, "I'm going to be the first one by the Tenth Generation's side, so all of you get out of my way!"
Yamamoto followed closely behind: "Don't be so irritable, Gokudera Hayato, we are all Tsuna's friends."
Kawarihei waved his fist: "Tsuna must have something urgent to do, let's hurry over there."
Lambo frowned, his face scrunched up: "I'm the first one."
Rokudo Mukuro sneered, "You really are like circus animals."
Chrome spoke softly, "Lord Mukuro, if we don't pick up the pace, we're going to fall behind."
Hibari Kyoya drove the car driven by Kusakabe with a clear mind.
Once they had all arrived at their destination, they saw Sawada Tsunayoshi, dressed in casual clothes, watching the noisy group of them with a gentle gaze.
You've arrived just in time; the fireworks are about to start.
As soon as the words were spoken, colorful fireworks bloomed in the sky, bursting with brilliant colors.
Sawada Tsunayoshi thought that no matter what their relationship was, or what kind of feelings they had, it actually didn't matter.
What mattered was that they would be together forever.
At the moment that small infant arrived, everything changed.
Sawada Tsunayoshi was not that lonely human; one by one, different people leaned on each other, becoming an indestructible wall.
"Thank you, Reborn," Sawada Tsunayoshi said softly to the man beside him amidst the blooming fireworks.
The answer to his question was the man's hand, which he placed atop his head.
