Luo Shengmeng has no feelings today

Akutagawa Ryunosuke subconsciously looked at Reborn.

The top killer looked back, "It's up to you to decide, Ryunosuke, I just acted as a middleman at the request of Jiaguang."

Mr. Assassin patted the student's head and said briskly:

"You are already strong enough, and you have even advanced to the point where even I can't see through what you can do. Therefore, it is up to you to decide whether you want to accept your own work."

Akutagawa hesitated for a while.

Kudaimu owes him a favor. The old man is indeed a charismatic and great mafia godfather. Under the premise that the other party may be in trouble, Akutagawa Ryunosuke is of course willing to lend a helping hand, just as the other party used to Help them generously like teachers and students.

However, no matter how much Akutagawa respects Kudaime, the other party must be ranked behind his teacher.

Although it is said that the debt of favor should be repaid, if there is a conflict between this kindness and the existence he cherishes, Akutagawa will not hesitate to choose the latter.

There is no more important principle and bottom line than his family and Mr. R. Assuming that Yin and the others are not in this world, the remaining Mr. R is more important to Akutagawa than anything else. After all, he is not a selfless and good person. If Without Mr.'s words, he is still a heartless dog in the slums.

So, he was the first to ask:

"Mr. R, do you need my help here?"

"With you by my side, of course it will be easier."

Reborn answered frankly, and then tilted his head, "However, my teaching plan will not be impossible without you... After all, I am the world's number one tutor, even without you, I can still teach Sawada Tsuna has developed into a great leader."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke blinked his dark eyes.

"Mr. R, what do you want to do next?"

"Think for yourself."

Two pairs of similar eyes looked at each other for a while.

"I know."

The tacit understanding between master and apprentice made Akutagawa slowly shift his gaze to Sawada Iemitsu.

Because of the contract with Vongola, Reborn was unable to take action against Vongola's people. Of course, Vengola's civil strife is the same, not to mention, he has the responsibility to educate Sawada Tsunayoshi, and the battle for the ring is close. In front of him, he must train Sawada Tsunayoshi with all his strength, so that he has the possibility to fight the leader of Balian.

If Reborn is still free, he will probably not hesitate to help his best friend Pengelie Jiudai.

Akutagawa understood this.

Whether it is considering the friendship between His Excellency Kudaime and Mr. R, or considering the help that Mr. and himself, Akutagawa has no reason to refuse.

"Your Excellency Kudaime is Mr. R's best friend, and he is your benefactor. Now is the time for me to repay your kindness." Akutagawa exhaled, "What time? When?"

Tomorrow night at eleven o'clock in the middle school is the first battle. The guardian of the [Sunny] Ring will be drawn...that is, the senior of Sawada Tsunayoshi, the guardian of the sunny Sasakawa Ryohei who was selected by Reborn .

Sawada Iemitsu breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the other party gratefully, and then corrected his expression, "I arranged for my subordinates to go undercover in Balian. When the latest news comes, I will go to Italy with you... Anyway, thank you very much for your help."

Vongola's lion sits cross-legged on the roof, with his hands on his knees, bowing sincerely.

……

The next morning.

The preoccupied Sawada Tsunayoshi changed his habit of sleeping late and woke up early, but covered himself with a quilt, nestled down to escape reality, and let out a muffled wail from time to time.

I officially met with Balian last night, and I also received the Nine Generations' order, and got the news that the Ring War will be held, and the first battle will be tonight... This kind of thing is really too much for Sawada Tsunayoshi. heavy.

When I opened my eyes, I couldn't help but recall that the boy with an ostrich mentality subconsciously wanted to escape from reality.

"Mr. Sawada, since you're awake, come down and have breakfast."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was wearing a shirt, rolled up his sleeves, and when passing by the door of Sawada Tsunayoshi's room, he heard the movement from the other's room.

He knocked on the door directly, said "Excuse me", turned the handle and walked in.

Mr. R is not here, probably because Akutagawa will follow Sawada Iemitsu to Italy soon, so he went to revise Sawada Tsunayoshi's training plan.

When Akutagawa is at home, there is no need to worry too much about everyone's safety, so Reborn often does other things with peace of mind.

The quilt on the bed in the bedroom moved and let out a reluctant whimper.

"It's rare that you woke up so early, then, let's go to school together later." Akutagawa Ryunosuke stepped forward, reached out and grabbed the corner of the quilt, using his hand as a medium, Akutagawa grabbed the quilt with one hand All the fabrics were disintegrated by Rashomon immediately, exposing the whole body of the boy who was full of escape.

Under the premise that Akutagawa didn't intentionally control it, Rashomon constructed a new body out of sheets, and a large amount of fabric made it possible to construct a fat cat.

"Meow-"

The chubby adult cat stomped on Sawada Tsunayoshi's head, covering the opponent's entire head.

Rashomon wagged his tail triumphantly.

"Uuuuuuuuuh! I can't breathe! Rashomon!"

Sawada Tsunayoshi was caught off guard, raised his head suddenly after a while, and lifted the cat that was pressing on his head.

The Rashomon cat fell into Akutagawa Ryunosuke's arms calmly, and Akutagawa couldn't help touching it several times with its plump, elastic and extremely real touch.

"Even if it's the Battle of the Rings at night, you still have to attend the classes you should attend during the day, Mr. Sawada."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke ruthlessly told the other party the tragic truth.

Yes.

Even if you can go to heaven and earth, you still cannot escape the fate of going to school.

The same is true for Akutagawa Ryunosuke. Although he received the commission from Sawada Iemitsu, he still has to teach the students when the time of action has not yet been determined.

"Please comfort me! Akutagawa-sensei!"

Sawada Tsunayoshi sat up suddenly from the bed, crying all over his face.

Akutagawa was a little embarrassed, "I'm not very good at comforting others, and, as Mr. R's student——"

"You have to look like a Reborn student—I know, I know!" Tsunayoshi Sawada hung his head lazily, "But! Mr. Akutagawa, didn't you tell the students at school that there must be a process for progress! It's not something to be ashamed of being in a trough, why did you demand so much from the beginning..."

"Because it's different."

Akutagawa thought for a while, "We are different from ordinary people, so our requirements are also different."

"If you're not strong enough, you'll die... You're too useless. Pengo Li's heir is not a safe position, so there's no time for you to continue being cowardly."

Sawada Tsunayoshi immediately covered his head.

"Ah, mentioning this, why did Dad choose me as his heir! If you give the ring directly to Xanxus, there will be no such thing!"

"Almost never stayed at home for a long time. Once he disappeared, it took two full years, leaving me and my mother... I already knew he was dead. How can there be such a father!"

Sawada Tsunayoshi, whose quilt was swept away by Rashomon, curled up on his bed, like a battered animal:

"There are almost no good memories of getting involved with my father... This time too, it brought me such a terrible thing as soon as I came back, woo... Why do I and everyone have to risk our lives to fight?"

"Dad, does he really love me and Mom?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke listened patiently to the other party, and finally looked into the other party's steamy brown eyes, realizing that the other party might be seeking support.

A 14-year-old good-for-nothing boy who had never experienced darkness, suddenly had to face so many things in less than a year. For him, the pressure was too great.

He hasn't grown up yet, whether it is strength or will, they are as immature as a bamboo shoot that has just sprouted.

Tsunayoshi Sawada was not the best choice for succession.

The fact is also true, he was left [the last choice] on the premise that all heirs died... This is what Reborn said himself.

and many more?

Akutagawa Ryunosuke paused.

Sir did say that [all] heirs are dead.

However, Xanxus, the leader of Balian and the son of the ninth generation, is obviously still alive.

Why was he excluded from the heir selection?

Logically speaking, Xanxus, who inherits the blood of the ninth generation, should be the heir in line, unless the other party has done something that cannot be forgiven by the mafia.

The last thing the Italian Mafia tolerates... tops the list is betrayal.

betray?

No, it should be impossible, Xanxus has no reason to betray, if he does nothing, the position of the next leader will naturally be given to him as the only son of Jiudaime.

—unless something stands in the way of his succession.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke speculated that this was probably Pengo Lie's internal secret, so he quickly gave up thinking about it.

He returned his attention to the bewildered Sawada Tsunayoshi.

"Things have become like this, there is no use in continuing to complain, and... Sawada-san, do you love your family and value your friends?"

"Of course!" Sawada Tsunayoshi sniffed.

"Then, you only need to think about one thing now."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke said calmly: "—If you fail, your family and friends will all die."

The young man hugged the cat and said something horrific. He ruthlessly ignored the terrified expression of Sawada Tsunayoshi, and read every word clearly:

"You who inherited Vongola's blood, even if you lose in the Battle of the Ring, are still a hidden danger to the other heir. Unlike you who were born in a peaceful society, Xanxus... the Vongola assassination team member The leader is not a soft-hearted person, not to mention, for the assassination troops, such things as cutting weeds and roots are already commonplace."

"So, things like complaining and shirking responsibility are the most useless things. You can be afraid, fearful, and worried, but you must never shrink back in the slightest. You must face up to the predicament in front of you."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke took a step forward, stretched out his hand, and patted the dull brown-haired boy's head.

The hands that were neither wide nor warm, were instead slender and cold, with no blood in them.

"Behind you are people who must be protected, and if you back down, you will lose them forever."

The dark-haired youth with drooping eyelids spoke softly.

"Impossible...!" Sawada Tsunayoshi slowly clenched his fists, and he muttered with his lips pursed, "Mom, Kikuji-kun, Yamamoto-kun, Kyoko... No, absolutely not—"

It seems to remind the scene of their death.

Sawada Tsunayoshi's cowardly brown eyes were gradually filled with firm consciousness.

"Yes, no." Akutagawa repeated what Sawada Tsunayoshi said affirmatively.

In a way, he and Tsunayoshi Sawada are somewhat similar in baseline.

There are no great ideals.

It's just... to protect the existence that you cherish.

But not quite the same.

Akutagawa's vision has been limited to this place, he has no great love, and the life and death of other people has nothing to do with him.

But Tsunayoshi Sawada is different, he wants to be more gentle, and this kind of gentleness will also extend to other people who have nothing to do with him.

But at least for now.

Nothing inspires Tsunayoshi Sawada's will to fight more than [the person in front of him].
