age is not a problem

"Gang, how do you plan to solve the Kurihara matter?"

After talking about the "tears of the red pupil", it is natural to talk about Kurihara, who no longer maintains the superficial harmony and has a complete showdown tonight.

When Li Baoen took the initiative to ask about this matter, Gang Ji didn't really care:

"I think after tonight, the elders should already know that I know Kurihara's true position, a spy who has been exposed, then, for those elders... it is tantamount to a discarded game. "

For Tsuna Ji's judgment, Li Baoen neither affirmed nor denied, but turned to ask another question:

"So, what are your plans for that dangerous person lurking beside you? Do you continue to monitor her personally like this? The school will have final exams next week and then summer vacation. If there is no school as a connecting bridge, you How do you plan to monitor her nearby without being suspicious by her? Although we haven't been able to find out her true identity and purpose for the time being, it is undeniable that her actions are aimed at the Pengelie family."

"During the summer vacation... I will ask Senior Kusakabe to send reliable people to continue to monitor her." Among the family members currently in Japan, he can fully trust them. It will hurt Qingmei, "And I will go back to Italy during the summer vacation. After all, I have been away for too long, and if this continues, it will inevitably make family members feel uneasy, and...while I am away, Prison Temple and the others have also fished out those who took the opportunity to make trouble. The problems that have existed since I took over the family, it is time to solve them."

"Oh, I originally planned to suggest that you go back to Italy during the summer vacation... Besides, I have another piece of good news to tell you that Irie Masaichi and his team have made some progress in their research. You may have a chance to recover your body." Li Baoen Originally talking about this matter with great interest, it was only gradually that he noticed that something was wrong with the student's emotions, "Why, you don't seem very happy? Isn't this something you have been looking forward to?"

After hearing Li Baoen say "there is a chance to recover his body", Tsuna suddenly felt an indescribable feeling for some reason... That feeling was a bit heavy, and it didn't make him feel relaxed at all. .

Yes, he should be happy. At first, he had to return to Japan as a junior high school student to avoid the limelight because of a physical accident. Now his life can return to normal, which is great, isn’t it? And that's how it should be.

Is it because he got used to the comfortable life of the past few months, although not every day is peaceful and smooth, but every day is very interesting, at least he is very happy... Now, he is suddenly told that this period of time is for junior high school The experience journey of life is coming to an end, so do you feel sad?

Or because, once he is no longer "Sawada Tsunayoshi, a student of the second grade of Teiko Middle School" and returns to the original "tenth-generation leader of the Vongola family", the relationship between him and her will no longer be the same as before. up.

In fact... there is no difference, it is impossible for him to respond to her.What she said to him before, no matter whether she was really expressing her feelings for him or not, his choice would be the same, directly and clearly rejecting, this is the bottom line he must hold on to.

"Hello, Gang!" There was no response for a long time, and Li Baoen was a little dissatisfied with the student's distraction, and his voice was slightly raised.

And Tsuna seems to have finally pulled away from his own thoughts, maintaining a seemingly calm smile:

"No, I'm not unhappy. If you can really recover, it will be great. Things in the family have fallen a lot, and it's time to make up for it little by little."

For this student brought out by himself, Li Baoen naturally couldn't fail to see what he was thinking, and didn't directly expose it, but he still reminded:

"Gang, no one can really turn back time, and such things as time turning back should not exist. Every age group, everyone can only experience it once. If you are always trapped in your past, then instead It's a punishment, like the Son of the Rainbow used to be."

"I understand, Li Baoen." Although the words he received were a little serious, he also understood that this was the teacher's intention, "In short...there is still one week left before the school holiday here, so you have to have a beginning and an end in everything, at least let Let me finish this semester satisfactorily."

"So, when you go back to Italy, do you plan to let the headquarters send a private jet or come back by ordinary civil aviation, I would suggest..."

On the screen, before Li Baoen finished speaking, there was a knock on the door and a familiar voice, "Hey, Li Baoen, are you there?"

After figuring out who it was, Li Baoen let the person outside the door come in after a "tsk".

The person who came was Colonello. Every time he and Lal returned to Italy, they would occasionally come to catch up with old friends.

Walking into Li Baoen's study, seeing the LCD computer screen on the desk, the person on the other side of the video call is Tsuna Ji, Kronilo also moved over excitedly:

"Hey, it's been a long time. I really miss you when I saw you as a good-for-nothing ten years ago, Sawada."

As for hurting his old friend as soon as they met, Gang Ji also smiled helplessly, "Cole Nello..."

"However, compared to the 24-year-old you, you are still cuter at the age of 14..." Colonello was originally talking with a smile. But there was something strange, he pointed hesitantly, "Sawada, that key chain on your table..."

"Key chain?" Gang Ji glanced at his desk, and seeing what Colonello was referring to, he also picked it up and handed it to the screen so that Colonello could see it more clearly.

This pendant-shaped key chain was the one that Skylark gave him, and it was likely that the intruding Qingmei accidentally dropped it at Bingsheng Middle School that day.

He investigated later and found that this key chain was not available on the market, so it should have been custom-made, and it looked like it had been used for several years.

"Hmm..." Colonello touched his chin, and his tangled brows seemed to be trying to remember something, "How should I put it, I always feel like I've seen this key chain somewhere before, because the shape is very Unique... But, it feels like it should have happened many years ago, and I really can't remember it."

"So, what about this name?" Tsuna brought the string of letters starting with "A" engraved on the key chain close to the screen, and there was an inexplicable surge in his heart, as if something was about to come out, "Among the people you know, Is there anyone with this name? Can you think of something based on this name..."

After reading out the name spelled out by those letters, Colonello searched carefully in his memory, and finally shook his head, "Although it is a relatively common name... But, sorry, among the people I know There really isn't one with that name."

……

After finishing the video call with Li Baoen, Colonello and the others, and turning off the computer, Tsuna sat quietly on the seat alone.

The whole room was very quiet, only the sound of the hour hand of the clock hanging on the wall moving forward could be heard.It seems to be reminding him that time is truly irreversible. Even if the rules of time are broken for a while, it will eventually be repaired by the time lock and restore its original appearance, and then no one can restrain its forward steps.

And now, he also needs this kind of silence that belongs to a person.

After a long while, I opened the drawer of the desk, and took out a stack of photos from the drawer, which were taken during the stage play, and each of them participated in the show.

These photos...really recorded a lot of interesting scenes that day, such as "Ziyuan snatches delicious sticks", "Heizi returns knife", "True and fake Elizabeth", "pocky flying all over the sky" and so on.

And the last one, after the performance, in the background, he was taken by Qingmei to imitate the poses of the two characters in the original poster.

Although he knew in his heart that all this would never go back, the corners of his mouth still raised a slight arc uncontrollably.

Standing up, walking to the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at Tokyo in the night outside the window.

He took out his phone and dialed the number...

……

At the same time, Kurihara's private house——

Qingmei, who came out of the yard quietly over the wall, was in a good mood, playing with the small tracker in her hand.

She raided Kurihara Ogisuke's house at night, on the one hand, to recover the tracker she installed on him before, and on the other hand... Tsk, in the match at the Suzuki Museum of Art, although she deliberately lost, but After all, being beaten up is still very unpleasant, and this guy's attack is not too light, so of course she wants to ask for it.

As for sneak attacks or something... Well, the means are not important, the important thing is the result.

As for finding out who knocked her out after Ogisuke Kurihara woke up... well, she left a nagging note with ambiguous meaning at the scene——

"Wemaybecompanies, orenemies. (We may be companions, or enemies.)"

As for what he wants to express... Let's see how that guy Kurihara uses his imagination to understand~

At this moment, the mobile phone rang. Seeing who the caller was, Qingmei frowned unknowingly, and raised her vigilance... After all, she has now confirmed that he is a gangster, and he is also a gangster. very advanced.

"Hello? Sawada, what's up so late?"

After waiting for a long time, she didn't say a word... Just when she made various guesses and said, "I'll hang up if it's okay."...

"Ah, wait a minute, Asakawa..."

"So what's the matter with you?"

"Well... just want to tell you, next week's final exam, let's work hard together!"

"……what?"
