[Tutorial] Self-indulgence

Although I very simply promised that this guy, Azhai, would go to the Meloni base in the next ten years, but ah...

Sure enough, I still feel that something is wrong.

Hey, has the physical pain corroded my brain? I can't think carefully at all.And the autumn afternoon is still very cold, and the stomach feels cold and hurts more.

[zero? ]

I was taken aback by this voice. My brain, which was already sluggish due to physical pain, was made even more difficult to think by this fright. After finally recovering, I realized that the voice was from Tsuna. .

[What, it’s Tsunayoshi, you. ] I exhaled, and settled down to talk to him. [What's the matter?By the way, how is the situation over there?You...] I hesitated for a while, and swallowed all the words I was going to say to him. [You didn't hold back others, did you? ]

When I said this, my tone was full of suspicion, as if I had seen him dragging people down.And this tone also successfully aroused his dissatisfaction, I can even imagine his appearance of blowing hair.

[No!Really, doesn't Zero have something nice to say to me! ?It's so sad to say such a thing! ] His words made me hear some dissatisfaction and expectation, but I couldn't help but smile.

It's like a child who wants to be praised... But hearing the vitality in his words, I feel relieved. [I'm not doing this to make you complacent. ]

[... You can't be complacent like this...] He muttered something in a low voice, and didn't circle around on this topic. [Is Zero's condition better?Ah, don't worry about our side, just take care of yourself. ]

What he said made me blush, but I suppressed the emotions that surged in my heart, nodded calmly, and didn't dare to say that I was going to the Meloni base now.

If I say it, I can't guarantee that Tsunayoshi won't do anything reckless.And it won't take long for us to go to the base.

I glanced up at the roadside scenery, confirmed my current location, and looked at A Zhai ten years later who had been walking in front of me from the beginning to the end without looking back. I stuck out my tongue in embarrassment.

Now I can only hide it from Gangji for a while.

[I... I'm pretty good here, anyway, it's just... that way, what should hurt won't make me feel better. ] I gave him a few vague answers, and even dismissed him a bit arbitrarily.

He also seemed a little absent-minded, and instead of chasing after me to ask questions like before, he responded with a rather casual hum. [That's good, I... still have some things here, cut off contact for a while, okay? ]

What he said was a little uneasy, but I didn't care.

On the one hand, it’s because I don’t want him to be distracted from my affairs when he’s fighting inside the base, and on the other hand, it’s because it’s convenient for me to cut off contact, which is a bit of a wishful thinking.After all, I went to the Meloni base here. If I don't cut off the connection with him, he will definitely be able to sense where I am.The second is that if I suddenly cut off contact, it will definitely cause him uneasiness, and it is estimated that the child will have to fight with me for a while.

So out of these plans, I readily agreed to his proposal. [Okay, let's do this first...but Tsunayoshi, you must pay attention to safety. ] Usually it was because I was worried about him, and there were also some reasons because of guilty conscience. I still said what I hadn’t said before. [Don't... get too seriously injured, I will worry. ]

As soon as I said this sentence, I felt my cheeks burn, and then I also felt the mixed excitement and shyness conveyed from Tsunayoshi.

Then, the flow of emotion conveyed was cut off abruptly by the source.

"...The two-person world with Sawada Tsunayoshi is finally over?" The woman ten years later leaned against the wall, half-opening one eye and looking at me.

I was suddenly stopped by what she said, and then quickly suppressed the blushing that was about to rise on my face, and pretended to answer calmly. "Because that guy is so boring."

What I said was serious, but she sneered when she heard it. "If you get bored so soon, you don't..." She stopped talking, just frowned, then turned and pointed forward. "Let's go."

I didn't know how to proceed or what to say, so I followed her silently.

In the end, I still couldn't stand the atmosphere of complete silence, so I brought up the topic first. "How did he and I get to be like that ten years later...?" This is really not a good topic, but I couldn't help but wonder in my heart.

She paused, as if she was weaving what she wanted to say, and it took a while before she spoke to me in step. "Actually, it's not a very complicated reason." She turned her head and looked at me, with a look in her eyes that I couldn't understand. "Probably because you were watching from the outside, from the beginning to the end... I can only say that you are not honest enough."

She seemed to want to say something, or to sigh, but in the end she didn't say anything, but continued with what she said before. "In my opinion, you both clearly value each other, but you always hide that feeling from each other. At this point," she raised her chin at me, "you hide it very deeply, who I have noticed the feelings of Sawada Tsunayoshi towards you ten years later, but few people know that you have the same feelings. And you still have a deep worry... I didn't understand you at that time I was worried about something, but now I gradually understand."

I looked at her suspiciously, and she shook her head. "Actually, to put it bluntly, it is because it is too important."

I was so stabbed by this sentence that I couldn't say a word.

My personality has always been that it is difficult to take others into my heart. Even if other people think that I am easy to get along with, few people can be taken into my heart. However, once I take someone into my heart, I tend to become paranoid.

I don't know if this is good or bad, but I do know that this latent awareness is dangerous.

Paranoia has not been a good temperament since ancient times.

I sighed inexplicably, and suddenly felt that I owed him the matter of falling in love with Gangji.

Ten years later, Azhai looked at my expression quietly, without saying anything, after seeing all my expressions, she suddenly smiled. "So, look how smart I am."

I don't quite understand the meaning of her words, but I can detect something from her faintly revealing, rare sadness. "... Maybe so." I nodded, "It's troublesome to be liked by me anyway."

"Hey, the guy who can't settle this little trouble doesn't need to fall in love." She disapproved very much, "Just like when I became close friends with you, even if you are easy to think too much, I still brush out Gained [-]% favorability."

"Are you sure it's not because you are too thick-skinned?"

"It hurts! You have always been like this from before to now!"

I smiled without saying a word, and her expression returned to her previous indifference, and she continued to lead me forward.

"By the way," I suddenly thought of something, and I wanted to say it, but it was a bit difficult to say it. "At that time you..."

She snorted, as if she knew what I was going to ask, and interrupted me, "I was young and ignorant back then." She muttered, "Anyway, I just fell in love with a handicapped good boy stupidly, and then The boy said goodbye to the world. At that time, because of my bad personality, I ran to become a bad society, so I wanted to wave to the world, but I didn't expect..."

In the end, I didn't expect that I saw that scene, and it scared me so that I didn't react and was implicated.

But after careful calculation, maybe I implicated her in the matter of her coming here?

... It's better not to say it, just treat it as even.

"In short, after finishing these things, I'll be even... probably anyway," she yelled as if she couldn't bear anything, and finally took my hand and dragged me forward.

I don't know what kind of status she is in. As a result, people in this base will show indifferent expressions when they see her, but they will secretly avoid her.And being dragged by her, I also enjoyed the attention gift along the way very smoothly.

Even Mr. Irie held his stomach for a long time when he saw me.

"Speaking of..." I estimated the force value of me and this place, and after realizing that I might be very fragile, I didn't even have the confidence to speak. "Surprised to see me?"

I think these people probably don't know who I am, but they are not sure how much the other party knows about my affairs, so I can only talk by the sleeve of A Zhai ten years later.

Ten years later, A Zhai looked at my hand holding her sleeve and smiled without saying a word, but this action seemed to make Irie-kun's stomach hurt even more.

And now, I can finally discover what the previous one vaguely felt.

A Zhai's smile is very similar to the big boss of the world ten years later. ... No, if I think about it, I can already understand the meaning of the other party's unclear expression when discussing those topics before. "... Thank you for your hard work." I let go of my hand and stood on tiptoe to pat her on the shoulder. "It's much more tiring to like that type than I am."

"...I," her face turned into a pig's liver, but she didn't hold back a rebuttal, so I was more sure who this guy liked.

Seeing that the confrontation with me was about to fall into a disadvantage, ten years later, Azhai shook his head very simply and pointed to Cerbero who stood aside and stared at me expressionlessly. "What are you looking at? I brought my little friend here to watch other people gain experience points from fighting monsters, and take a look at the combat effectiveness of undercover agents along the way."

She said it with confidence, but Mr. Irie who heard it over there was not so relaxed.

"...That, that..." Irie-kun concealed the panic on his face, and asked A Zhai ten years later with a confused look, but he was punched in the abdomen by A Zhai ten years later. "Oh?!"

"It's something I know anyway, it's fun to pretend to be ignorant and watch other people rush around." She seemed to say something casually, but suddenly turned her face and shouted to the big screen on this side, "Isn't that right? , Bai Lan."

Irie-kun's expression only made me feel that the physical pain was added to his body, but the sudden appearance of Bai Lan on the big screen with a messy background smiling suddenly made me distracted.

I looked at A Zhai's expression that seemed to have become more indifferent after ten years, and then at Bai Lan who was holding a cotton candy in one hand and smiling so tiresomely, and decisively said my guess. "Are you unrequited love..." The words were filled with regret and a hint of showing off. Ten years later, A Zhai was so angry that he forcibly crushed the pistol that came from nowhere.

While I was admiring the strength of the other party's grip, I also noticed that Bai Lan on the other side of the big screen stopped smiling, lowered her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking about, but just by looking at it, I could see an unhappy expression.

However, I don't know whether these were ignored intentionally or unintentionally by A Zhai ten years later.

I suddenly felt very sympathetic to these two people, for unknown reasons.

However, the unhappiness was only for a moment, and the man returned to his previous smiling appearance, "Let's bet to see if the boy will reach Xiaozheng's place?" This sentence was obviously said to A Zhai ten years later. , and I also knew it was a winning bet.

I can't tell who won, but I subconsciously felt that Bai Lan just wanted to say something through this.

"Tch, I bet not." Ten years later, A Zhai showed a look of disdain on his face, and then he gave an answer that shocked me.

Just as it is difficult for me to keep people in my heart, I always suspect everything in a bad direction. To put it bluntly, I have a personality that is used to suspicion, and it also shows the inherent anxiety in my bones.

After Bai Lan heard the other party's choice, he showed a disinterested look, "Ah, it's so boring." He turned his gaze elsewhere, curling his lips as if wronged.

Then the screen went black, and there was no way to contact him here.

But his appearance reminded me of Gang Ji, unconsciously, I vaguely overturned my previous guess, and had a new idea in my heart.

But the figure of Gangji appearing on the monitor screen made me have no time to think about other things, and I knew that I couldn't help much, so I had to hold my temper and wait here with my breath.

If I ignore all these things, I seem to think that he is coming to snatch me from the execution rack.

Not to meet me, to take me away, but to pull me back from the brink of death to a general premonition.
