age is not a problem

"You... what did you call me?"

Qingmei, who was originally sitting on the beach, got up quickly, showing a state of vigilance, and subconsciously fumbled for her pocket... Tsk, there was nothing, all the weapons on her body fell into the sea just now.

Looking at Qingmei's reaction, Gangyoshi was basically determined, and his tone was no longer tentative: "Second Lieutenant Airi Viola...that's right."

Listening to the other party's clearly declarative tone, Qingmei also calmed down from the overreaction just now, but her eyes were a bit displeased:

"I don't like the name."

"Is it because you don't like the identity represented by this name..." After receiving Qingmei's warning eyes, Tsuna Kichi also responded kindly: "Okay, Qingmei."

After looking up at the sky and the quiet surrounding environment, Qingmei stood up, "Let's go to the interior of this small island first, it's too eye-catching to stand on this empty beach all the time. The style has always been cautious, before confirming our corpses, it must not be easy to let things go like this."

"You mean...you know who that person is, and you also know that person?!" Tsunaji also heard the meaning in Qingmei's words.

Qingmei stopped walking, turned slightly to look at Gangji, "Before asking other people's questions, shouldn't you show some sincerity first...Mr. Liar."

Well, well, she's a liar, too, and everyone's talking to each other.

"Whatever you want to know, I will tell you." Tsuna also stood up and followed Qingmei's footsteps. When this sentence was said... there was an inexplicable feeling of relief in my heart, as if a piece of pressure was on my heart The long-standing boulder has finally been removed.

"Name."

"Kokichi Sawada."

"……real name?"

"Well, it's my real name...but the outside world generally doesn't know my real name. They usually call me 'Vengola X' or simply 'Vengola'."

After hearing what Tsuna said, Qingmei turned her head again and looked at Tsuna with a different look.

"What's wrong?" Tsunade couldn't help scratching her cheek, feeling a little terrified at the sight.

Qingmei just shrugged her shoulders, indicating that it's okay... Ah, it's really okay, but it suddenly occurred to her that she almost shot you in the mask that exploded in the hotel back then.

"age."

"24 years old." Although there was a feeling of taking notes at the police station, Tsuna still answered honestly.

"Birthday."

"It's October NO.14 that I said before. This is true."

"Oh, really." Thinking that this guy was born one month and eight days later than herself, Qingmei felt that her mood improved a little for no reason, and then asked: "Why is the body getting smaller? Then come to Japan to play Junior high school student."

"Well... To put it simply, it is a kind of curse. It has something to do with the Vengley Ring, which is one of the 'three powers of seven' that our family has passed down from generation to generation. The reason why I came to Japan to dress up As a junior high school student, on the one hand, it is because too many people in the mafia circle know that my body has become smaller; otherwise, it will cause a big disturbance; There are also quite a few veterans, and they will definitely take action when my body becomes like this, and they just took the opportunity to draw out their forces one by one."

After listening to it, there was silence for a while, and Qingmei just sighed indifferently: "That's it..."

While talking, the two had already walked to a field of wild violets at the foot of a mountain on this small island.Looking around, the purple sea of ​​flowers under the setting sun shows a different kind of magnificence.

Qingmei finally stopped, turned around, and looked at the man who had been following him:

"'Airie Weiler'... where did you get the name from?"

After hearing Qingmei’s question, Tsuna was also busy searching for something in his pocket, but when he found that it was gone, he thought that he might have fallen into the sea just now, so he had to say apologetically:

"Sorry, you must have lost a very important key chain some time ago, with the name 'AIRI' engraved on it...Actually, that key chain came to me later. I, someone who knows comsubin, they are in Saw your key chain pendant and thought it looked familiar, and figured out the person who used to have this custom key chain was a blonde woman, but that woman wasn't called 'Airi'. So, I did I made a bold assumption and asked them to check if there is a person named 'Ai Li' in the comsubin... As a result, the database searched a photo of a woman who looks very similar to you and her name is 'Ai Li' Werler', the information shows that he was expelled from Comsubin two years ago."

After basically understanding what was going on, Qingmei didn't feel any regrets about the complete loss of the custom-made key chain, "Oh, that key chain, if you don't have it, it's gone... Anyway, it's something that should have been put down a long time ago. The blond woman you mentioned is my ex. She had a custom-made key chain with her name engraved on it. Later, in order to make a couple chain with her, I ordered a key chain that was exactly the same. It has my name engraved on it."

Sure enough, it was the same as what Colonello had speculated at the beginning... Gangji couldn't help but sigh, if there was no reminder from Colonello's thinking at the beginning, he might still be kept in the dark until now.

"Hey, Sawada..." Qingmei spoke slowly, the corners of her mouth curled up, with a bit of bitterness, but also a bit of relief, "Are you interested in hearing my story?"

"Of course, I really want to know...if you are willing to tell me." An uncontrollable joy grew in his heart. He had hoped that one day she would bring him to know the complete her , and share with him her joy and pain, laughter and tears.

He even once thought that it would be a hopeless expectation, but fortunately... Fortunately, he has not completely lost this opportunity to participate in her life.

"Speak, I will listen carefully."

Looking at the other party's extremely serious and focused eyes, as if she was about to listen to such an important speech, Qingmei couldn't help laughing.Then, slowly said:

"My father is the second generation of Japanese immigrants in Italy, and my mother is a pure southern Italian. Because my father is of Japanese descent, my name was originally a pure Japanese name. Later, in When I was five years old, my parents divorced, I lived with my mother, and moved from Naples to her hometown Bari. When I registered in Bari, my surname was directly changed to my mother's family name 'Viola (Ville)' , and the name has been used since I was a child, so I haven't changed it, and it is still called 'Airi'."

"Viola...in Italian, it means 'violet'." Gang Ji looked at the sea of ​​violet flowers in front of him, and at the woman whose surname was 'Violet' in front of him, his eyes became more tender unconsciously.

"My parents divorced... It wasn't because of someone cheating or something happened to the family. It was just that the two of them felt that their personalities were incompatible and that they were not suitable to be a husband and wife. They divorced peacefully. After that, the two of them continued to treat each other on the basis of their relatives. The way they treated each other, so it didn't bring me any childhood shadows. What really dissatisfied me and even triggered my rebellion in the second period of middle school was...their profession. Both of them are doctors, not ordinary doctors , but the kind of doctors of international humanitarian aid organizations. So since childhood, in my impression, they are always busy in other corners of the world, busy to save those who are in the flames of war, in extremely impoverished areas No matter what kind of people they are, as long as they lack the most basic medical assistance, they will lend a helping hand... It sounds like a noble cause and a great personality, right? But at that time, I was very unhappy. Happy, not happy at all, because of their greatness, I became an 'orphan'... When they were busy treating strange children on the other side of the world, as their own child, I could only be myself after being injured Bandage my own wounds. Especially after I went to boarding middle school, they directly joined the African medical team and were stationed in Africa all the year round. So at that time, I told myself over and over again in the second stage of middle school, Absolutely don’t be a bad person like your parents, just do what you should do, and don’t spread love everywhere with a holy heart.”

Seeing that Qingmei who was telling these words seemed to have really turned into a child in the second stage of middle school, Tsuna couldn't help chuckling, "Then what happened later... have you communicated with your parents properly? "

"We chatted, and then the chat broke down... They hoped that I would be like them in the future and become an aid doctor like them. At that time, my whole body was completely ignited and exploded, just like children in the second grade who always like to talk to me It’s like parents are fighting against each other. Well, since their profession is to save people, then I’ll choose a profession that requires killing. I want to prove to them that saving people is not necessarily justice, and killing people is not necessarily a crime. Wait until When I skipped high school at 16, I went to the Livorno Naval Academy in Italy."

"Then how did your parents react at that time? Did they oppose you?"

When asked about this, Qingmei, who was originally in the state of a child in the second stage of middle school, calmed down, and regained the calmness and indifference that a mature adult should have. She took a deep breath, and there was a trace of nostalgia in her eyes:

"I put the acceptance letter of the Leghorn Military Academy in front of them with a smug look, as if I wanted to provoke them on purpose, and I was ready to confront them at any time. But... no, they just smiled Congratulations on being admitted to the best military academy in Italy, and wish me the best of luck in the next four years. I was completely ignorant at the time, and it was me who became overwhelmed, and I kept going I asked earnestly and said, the career I want to pursue in the future is completely opposite to yours from a certain point of view... I remember my mother just replied to me with this sentence——

[Airi, I remember when I was a child in the church in Naples, you asked me if 'God' really existed.I told you at the time that there is a 'god' living in everyone's heart, and that is the truest self in everyone.If you don't know how to choose when you encounter something, just listen to the voice of 'God'.So, no matter what path you take in the future, I will believe that the god in your heart will guide you to make a decision that you have no regrets... because you are my child, I believe in you, Airi. 】

At that time, I didn't really understand these words. It wasn't until later, when I really had to make a choice, that I realized... Mother really is the person in the world who understands you best and believes in you the most.Ah, that's going a little too far. "

"It's okay, take your time, I want to know all the stories about you." While speaking, the two of them had already found a soft space to sit down among the flowers, and Gangji turned his head, gentle, patient and interested He said calmly, "After that, let's talk about when you were in military school."

"During those days at the military school... Actually, there is nothing to say, after all, I am too good~ Whether it is running in the water, breaking through water barriers, clearing mines, blasting sniper, or reconnaissance raids, I am No. 1 and get soft hands , those male students can’t compare to me~” Qingmei’s face was smug, she just spoke, but her face turned livid, “…Ah, of course, except for skydiving, I’m always I had to bite the bullet and finish it. Because I have a fear of heights, I chose the navy between the air force and the navy, but I was so naive at the time that I didn’t expect the navy to train those aerial skills.”

"But... just fell off the cliff, when I caught you in the air, in mid-air, you didn't seem to be afraid." Gang Ji recalled the situation at that time.

Qingmei blinked her eyes, "That's right... that seems to be the first time I haven't suffered from acrophobia?"

Was it because the situation was so critical that she ignored her fear?Or... His embrace made her feel so at ease.

"It's nothing, let's continue talking about you." Gang Ji brought the topic back.

"Well, most of the life in the military academy was so routine, but one thing that was very meaningful to me happened during that time... There, I met her."

When Qingmei mentioned "her", Tsuna, who was originally relaxed, tensed up unconsciously, and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.Although he didn't want to admit it, and knew that he shouldn't be like this, after all, it was a thing of the past, but he knew that the subtle feeling in his heart... was called jealousy.

"That was six years ago. At that time, I was still completing the daily courses and training of the military academy..."

【six years ago--

"Hey, Airi, you're here. Hurry up, the instructor has just announced that we're going to gather. He said that a new instructor will give us intensive special instruction during this time."

On the lawn under the shade of a tree, Airi was sitting on the ground looking at the book in his hand with a calm and indifferent face. After hearing what his companions said, he slightly raised his eyes:

"New instructor?"

"That's right, that's right, I heard that they were temporarily transferred from the special naval unit Comsubin to guide us, and the lady major is said to be a beautiful woman!"

The two boys discussed more and more vigorously about the appearance and figure of the new instructor, but Airi ignored the second half of their words, twirling the book in his hand, and picked it out with interest. raised eyebrows:

"People from Comsubin... that should be very powerful, interesting."

On the training ground——

The atmosphere was silent and cold, and all the students onlookers on the scene dared not make a sound, and looked at the scene in the middle of the field in surprise.A few who were a little bit bolder whispered, "No way...Airi actually lost...and, she lost so badly..." "Although I know it's a comsubin, but, but... It wouldn't kill Airi with a single blow..." "Oh my God, this is Airi... that Airi Werle who is not at all shy in 1v9 fights with senior seniors... "

The mood of the students at this moment can be described as quite complicated... On the one hand, Airi Werle, who has defeated the invincible opponent in the school, has always been a devil-like existence in their hearts. A sense of regret that the myth has been shattered; on the other hand... wow!This girl actually has today!It's really a good reincarnation. If you don't believe me, look up, who will the heavens spare!I really want to set off fireworks to celebrate!No, their hearts have exploded into fireworks!

At the moment, in the center of the training ground, Airi was lying on the ground, and the knee of the right leg of the person behind her was directly on her back, making her unable to move.Both hands were also caught on the back, the man controlled her wrists with only one hand, and the man's other free hand was holding a sharp dagger, resisting it. on the carotid artery in her neck.

Qingmei turned her head with difficulty and looked up, angrily looking at the blond woman who subdued her with one blow.

"If it was on the battlefield, I would have already cut your carotid artery and died... With your three-legged cat skills, don't be too arrogant, brat."

Staring at this woman who looked down at her with a cold expression and tone of voice, Airi, who had never had any ups and downs in the military academy and had no obvious emotions, gritted her teeth, and a flame of anger lit up in her eyes. 】

"That's it, this is... the first time Brenda and I met." Thinking of the past many years ago, Qingmei couldn't tell what kind of emotion she was feeling at the moment.

But I still couldn't help laughing out loud... probably laughing at my childish and young self back then.

Gang Ji: "Is she your instructor? Later, you also joined Comsubin because of her?"

After seeing Qingmei nodding her head, Tsuna thought of the story of how Colonello chased Lal that she had heard before, and she really couldn't help but want to complain... You comsubin people like their female instructors Is it traditional? !

"The first time we met, Brenda made me make a big fool of myself in front of the whole school... So later, I kept challenging her, and I would fight her as long as I had time."

Gangji: "And then?"

"Then..." After a pause, Qingmei covered her forehead, "...and then I was treated badly by her every time."

Gangji: "..."
