"Ah?" Very normal, a dazed look appeared on Sawada's face.

"Well," but because it was clear that it was not his duty to explain, Ito completely ignored the other party's sluggishness and bewilderment, and gave an understated answer: "You are the heir of the mafia Vongola, the future tenth generation , therefore, I now owe you my allegiance."

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, looked down at the young man's red and swollen eyes, and said solemnly: "In short, from now on, I promise not to be your enemy; I won't hurt you; if anyone If necessary, I may also extend my hands appropriately to help you achieve what you want."

——Simple and simple, the so-called oath of allegiance only has these three sentences.

But Ito thinks it is enough to stand in his position, of course he will do something [Only you are my king, I am willing to serve you and be loyal to you, I hope you can guide me the way forward so that I can be with you] You share the same dream. ], or [I am Makoto Ito, from now on I will enshrine Tsunakichi Sawada as king, sacrifice my life as an ally, and do my best to be loyal. ] and other beautiful words, but if that kind of oath is not from the heart (he will never have that kind of sincerity), it is better not to say it to make people misunderstand. He who despises lies.

His statement made the Varians, who were still awkward before, breathe a sigh of relief. Yes, presumably throughout the ages, there has been no oath of allegiance that is more proud than this gesture—it is not so much allegiance as it is A declaration of non-aggression by the strong against the weak.

If you only pay such a price, you can release the boss. Although it still makes people feel uncomfortable, it is still within an acceptable range.

Varian stepped forward one by one in order, and quickly said the same words as Ito at a speed so fast that it was almost inaudible, and then walked back to their original positions as if they were amnesty, looking at Ito.

Not picky about this vague and almost perfunctory behavior, Ito glanced at the tree next to the house calmly——

"Then, see you in two years, Judaime." He turned around and planned to leave.

"Wait, wait!" But at this moment, a voice came from behind.

Ito turned his head, nodded slightly and politely made a gesture of inquiry, and the Varians behind him also followed him and turned back.

Tall and powerful men in black suits stood in a row on the street.

"I, I, I don't want to be some kind of mafia!" The boy who was still sobbing like a little girl just now opened his eyes and looked at this side, and said loudly.

Then he seemed to be frightened by the gazes of the crowd, and the boy’s tail was a little trembling, but he insisted on repeating: “Although you don’t seem to be joking (and no one would make such a joke with a good-for-nothing, Tsuna Yoshi clearly aware of this),”

"No, but, I don't want to be some inexplicable mafia."

"I'm not Judaime either."

……

This time it was the turn of Ito and the others to be stunned. After a second, the faces of everyone in Varian were gloomy as if it was about to rain (the so-called situation of wanting something but being abandoned by others), and Ito was expressionless. Looking at this with an expression——

The trembling boy who spoke looked as if he was about to run away in the next second. However, facing a group of guys who insisted on wearing formal clothes in this weather and who didn't look like good people in terms of expression or aura, he still Insist on finishing your own words.

The firm look is completely different from the timidity when he was pushed and ridiculed by his classmates before.

No, maybe it's this kind of appearance that is full of fear but still insists on one's own ideas that makes people look more eye-catching.

It's a bit troublesome, Ito thought calmly, although he didn't care who the future leader of Pengo Lie would be, even if it was a monkey, Ito could accept it as usual (he wouldn't really be a mafia anyway) ), but he had to consider the situation of xanxus. There is no doubt that although he has not met, but no matter how he thinks about it, xanxus' character is not suitable to be a leader. Ito does not hope that he will die inexplicably one day. The reason is just because xanxus was assassinated by his subordinates everyday.

But there is always someone to sit in the position of the leader. Rather than some other elite, Ito would rather the guy sitting in that position be the swollen peach in front of him-at least it is easier to control from various angles.

It's just that the only obstacle at present is that the parties themselves do not agree.

Of course, Ito can also go away without listening, and leave this problem to others (he already knows who it will be), but in that case, the allegiance that was already perfunctory just now seems too perfunctory-after all, this is also a problem. It was cruelly rejected.

So at least you have to ask a few words, let's count it as repaying that person's favor.

"Why?" After thinking for three seconds, Ito gave a standard response.

"I, I, I, I..." Maybe the aura of gentleness that helped dry the tears before is still there, so even if the expressions of the Varians are very unfriendly, Sawada, who has been staring at Ito, is finally normal Talk: "The mafia are very fierce."

Sawada raised his head, trying to look directly at the face that looked a bit fierce, but felt inexplicably gentle, and his tone gradually became calm: "I don't want to be so fierce, and I don't want to hurt others."

"...Huh?" This was an answer that even Ito had never thought about.

[I don't want to hurt others], Ito's eyes swept over the large scars on the boy's body again, and stayed on the eyes that were swollen from crying because of the pain. He also vividly remembered how sad he was when he was bullied just now, but, that is Such people say things that they don't want to hurt others.

—when he hurt before he could repay cruelly.

This is something that is more precious than intelligence and talent, and even more difficult. It cannot be said that it is not stupid, but it is enough to move and even warm people's hearts.

Ito turned around, and under Varian's suddenly silent eyes, he walked back to Sawada, then bent down for the first time, and pulled his gaze to a level with him, "Then what do you want to do? "he asks.

It's just a question, Ito understands better than anyone what kind of fate awaits the person in front of him.Whether he is willing or not, one day he must take the path he rejected today. This is an unchangeable fact. Maybe it is honored or even lucky for others, but for this young man, But barely.

"Ah!" Seemingly feeling uncomfortable being stared at so intently, Sawada turned his head in a panic, but he immediately realized that it was impolite, so he turned his head again. He looked at Ito, "I I want to be an ordinary employee, have a legitimate job, have many friends, and live a happy life with everyone.”

It is the most ordinary daily life, but speaking from the mouth of this person who is destined to stand at the pinnacle of the black world, it simply brings a sense of confusion that the fate is so absurd.

...but so precious.

"It's a good ideal." After a while, Ito said slowly.

His tone was calm and sincere, and he didn't have the slightest sneer or contempt that the teacher or classmates would laugh out loud when they heard Tsuna say something like this.

He really thinks such an ideal is very good, and Tsuna, who is born with a sensitive intuition, can't recognize it more clearly.

This kind of thinking made him subconsciously feel that the fierce looking face in front of him became extremely soft, like, um, Tsuna Ji tried hard, like hot cocoa in winter!

"Then," Sawada decided to reciprocate, and asked the only person who would not laugh at him except his mother, "What ideal does Mr. Ito have?"

"Huh?" Ito was taken aback again. He looked at the young man who had become a little uneasy because of asking such a question. His figure was clearly reflected in the eyes of the other party who were so clear that people could see through his heart at a glance. .

Do you have any ideals?Ito silently thought that he hadn't thought about this issue for too long, as if that kind of thought had been lost unknowingly with too long of indifference, and now he only has tasks in his eyes and no ideals.

But that kind of thing is just a luxury in the end, and people don’t live by ideals. It’s just that when asked at this moment, it would be too much to answer honestly. Yes, Ito looked at the boy opposite. Eyes full of expectation, thinking with certainty, is too much.

Well, anyway, for ordinary people, it’s easy to confuse goals and ideals, so let’s just mix it up for the time being. Ito pursed his lips subconsciously, and said, “Become an international superstar.”

Completely ignoring the people in Varian who couldn't help but burst out laughing because they waited too long for such an outrageous answer, Ito recounted it sternly: "Take the three film stars and become symbols of the times. Those who can light up the starry sky of human history one of the people."

Then looking directly at Sawada whose expression became a little subtle, he continued to add: "I plan to finish it within 10 years." This is a very reliable number, and it will be impossible any sooner.

Belphegor behind him had already begun to beat the ground regardless of his image, Levitan silently turned around and shook his shoulders, Skuvalo was dumbfounded, Lusilia was already out of breath from laughing, and only Mamon because of the hat , making it impossible to see his face clearly.

——For them, it is indeed unacceptable to hear such words from the same voice as their own violent leader, and Ito understands this.

He straightened up and silently waited for the group of guys to laugh before they could go back.

However, such a gesture made Sawada feel a bit of injustice. He looked at those laughing people, and then at the silent tall figure in front of him. He had the courage to rise, spread, and swell in this cowardly heart. Soon his whole body was stirred up, and for the first time in his life, he had the idea of ​​wanting to do something to protect the other party from being ridiculed-"Wait, wait, Mr. Ito." He said loudly, deliberately letting those people listen arrive.

"Huh?" Ito bowed his head.

"Let's make a promise!" Sawada stretched out his right hand, "After 10 years, we can all realize our ideals."

Under the evening sun, the boy stretched out his little finger and made the agreed gesture. The brave and upright little body because he wanted to protect something, and the aura of no hesitation can shock anyone.

—even Varian's laughter paused for a moment.

Ito was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he retracted the gaze that had just stopped on the other person's face, stretched out his hand, and pressed the immature little finger back, and then, in Sawada's frustration of being rejected and his courage dissipated, put the His hands clenched into fists.

"Little boy," Ito smiled. He stretched out his fist and lightly bumped Sawada's fist. The lines of his face, which had always been calm and introverted, stretched out, and his figure against the light was tall and firm like Shining, "This is the way men agree."

He said so.

——The dusk of that day seemed to have an eternal akane color, so that after a long time, the little boy named Tsunayoshi Sawada at this time was still unforgettable until the second before he needed to lie down on the black coffin.
