[Comprehensive] If you don't agree with one word, you will dry the boat

December 12th is well-known as Christmas Eve. On this day, people either go home to reunite with their relatives, or invite some friends and confidants to have a carnival, and this custom is not limited to Europe and the United States.

01

The 25-year-old Tsunayoshi Sawada sat behind his desk, facing the gradually dwindling mountain of documents, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Every year on December 12, which is Christmas Eve, there will always be a grand banquet in the family. According to Reborn, this is a custom that has been handed down since Vengley I.

Today, family members—whether they are guardians or ordinary family members—will temporarily put down their complicated or trivial work in order to welcome the coming Christmas, and return to the Vengley headquarters to start preparing for tonight. The banquet, which will be attended by all members of the family, is decorated.

The kitchen has been busy since before dawn, and the lobby where the banquet is held has already gathered many family members.

Although these Mafia members who usually wear suits and leather shoes are still wearing neat suits at this moment, the objects they hold in their hands have changed from guns|||arms and weapons to colored strips and pendants for decorating the room.

The tall fir trees that had been cut from the woods this morning had been brought indoors, and a pleasant smell hung in the clammy air.

At the moment, this fir tree has not been decorated in any way, but I think it will be covered with all kinds of decorations in a few hours.

But compared to the enthusiasm of the family members for this grand banquet once a year, Tsunayoshi Sawada, who has been sitting in the office without sleep all night, feels that his waist is sore and his back is hurting now—it’s not that he has engaged in any intense exercise , but he sat on the office chair for a whole night, which made him stiff at the moment.

It must be very difficult for him to stand up later.

It was almost noon when Tsunayoshi Sawada finished processing the last document before the banquet—and tomorrow's Christmas holiday.

Sawada Tsunayoshi stretched out his hand and hammered his lower back. Just as he was lamenting in his heart that he had been sitting in the office all year round and was getting faster than Mafia's occupational disease, his tutor came out from nowhere and stared at the pair of He looked at him innocently with dark eyes.

The various trainings he received from his tutor when he was a student made Tsunayoshi Sawada subconsciously yell "Oops" when he saw the other party's expression.

Even without the help of his super intuition, he could already guess what his tutor was up to.

—Leave him alone, he's just an ordinary Mafia leader.

"Did you finish processing these documents on the last day again this year?" Reborn tilted his head. This little baby who has been around for ten years still has that innocent expression, but if he is really what he looks like So innocent...

It is also determined that it is impossible to live to this day.

This point, whether it is Vaulting Martino who is about to arrive in a while, or Sawada Tsunayoshi, who is sitting at the desk with a sore back and back, and can't even turn his neck, are deeply touched.

Speechless rebuttal——and knowing that rebuttals will have no effect and will only make Reborn worse, Sawada Tsunayoshi continued to remain silent. After a while, this ten-year Vongola Tendai who has made a lot of progress At last he spoke:

"This year's banquet, Miss Jianwen and her companions will also come to attend."

"Is that the eloquent lady?" Reborn hadn't had much contact with Zhou Jianmin before, but had heard something about her from Sawada Tsunayoshi and some other family members.

To put it simply, the woman named Zhou Jianwen, who claims to be the leader of the Corazzata family, has two major weapons.

And these two weapons make her so different in this world where rings and box weapons—in short, the flame of death air—are the mainstream weapons...

——and weird.

By the way, Zhou Jianwen's two major killers are Huo||Pao and Zui Pao.

"Miss Jianwen, she..." Tsunayoshi Sawada subconsciously wanted to justify a few words to the lady who helped him a lot, but the words came out of his mouth, and he suddenly found that Reborn's words seemed to be meaningless wrong.

Because Zhou Jianwen is indeed eloquent.

As if seeing through his student's small thoughts, Reborn couldn't help but sneered, but compared to his innocence that still exists ten years later, but has only slightly improved, his super intuitive sense has become more reliable up.

That's why Reborn didn't take any action against Zhou Jianwen for a long time.

On the one hand, a gentleman's style would not allow him to rashly attack a lady, and on the other hand...he believed in the judgment of his students.

Having been with his teacher for so long, Tsunayoshi Sawada now understands some of Reborn's intentions better than he did back then—the other party is not too attached to Zhou Jianmin, and after all, he still believes in his own judgment.

It's just that Sawada Tsunayoshi is actually more concerned about another matter than Zhou Jianmin's problem at this moment.

"If I remember correctly, I will also attend the party this year..." Peng Lie's annual Christmas party is open to all family members, and none of the guardians can escape.

A few years ago, because of some things that everyone knew, the family didn't have much thought about holding such a large-scale banquet. If you really want to say that the last time such a large-scale Christmas dinner was held, it would have to go back to many years ago.

At that time, Hibari Kyouya declined the banquet on the grounds that he "can't gather together", but in the end he was abducted by Dino for some reason.

The problem is that in that gathering, Liudaomu used the power of Kurom to jump out to make trouble several times—and when Hibari Kyouya, who was already impatient to gather together, and Liudaomu, who was keen to make trouble, met together ...

Sawada Tsunayoshi suddenly felt that he was about to suffer from the old stomach pain of his friend Masaichi Irie.

As for this year... When Liudaokui received the notice of the banquet, he once said very arrogantly that he was not Mafia and would not attend Mafia's party. In the end, he didn't know who persuaded him. Various jumps in the headquarters...

Just like a primary school student before a spring outing.

As for Hibari Kyouya, who is notorious for not being in groups... this year, he will probably be abducted by Dino.

Even if Dino fails... Isn't there still a Reborn who likes to watch the show more than the troublesome Liudao Mukuro!

Sawada Tsunayoshi believes that there are absolutely [-] ways that Reborn can abduct Hibari Kyoya without causing Hibari Kyoya to feel any impatience--Reborn is definitely the first in terms of the degree of black belly.

"Yes." As if seeing what his student was struggling with, Reborn responded to him in a brisk tone, "And this year Skylark will definitely attend the banquet."

...Ah, did you really convince Hibari?

"Wait, what about Balian?" Tsunayoshi Sawada, who had already buried his face on the table with his heart full, suddenly seemed to remember something, and then sat up straight suddenly, "People from Balian will come too. Is it?"

"...I said it was because I was upset with you," Reborn paused maliciously, and just as Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was happy to be hated by Balian, breathed a sigh of relief, he added the second half of the sentence, "So they I plan to come over and make trouble."

Kokichi Sawada:"………………"

He felt his stomach hurt more.

"And Miss Jianwen will also attend the banquet this year..." Thinking of the little grievances between Zhou Jianwen and Balian—actually, friction—Sawada Tsunayoshi stretched out his hands and covered his face.

At this moment, he only hopes that the night will come later.

02

At this moment, Ye Sifengyuan only hopes that the night will come earlier.

She sat bored in the team dormitory of the second team, the low chair under her buttocks was as soft as ever, she held the stirring rod in her right hand and her teacup in the left hand, while stirring the opaque liquid inside, she thought in her heart About tonight's party.

It would be nice if the night came earlier.

Sensing that today's Seiring Court is still beautiful and peaceful, Yeyi Sifengyuan yawned, then she seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly drank the milk tea in the cup, then wiped her mouth and stood up towards the door go.

"Master Ye, where are you going?"

She clearly sensed her captain's impatience, and Broken Bee was already agitated about how to deal with this problem, but before she could think of any solution, she saw her captain got up and walked towards the gate.

"Squad Six," Yeyi Sifengyuan yawned again, then waved casually with his back to his vice-captain, "I'm going to play with little brother Bai Zai."

The thirteen team houses of Gotei [-] are located in different places in Seireitei, but this distance is really nothing compared to Yoichi Sifengin who is known as the "instant God".

Using Shunpo, which is his specialty, Sifengin Ye came to the team building of the sixth division in a short while.

The captain's cloak is in Seireitei—at least it is the best pass inside Goutei [-]. Once you see the captain Haori with the word "two" behind Yoruichi, and look at Yoruichi in front of outsiders With that indifferent expression, the members of the Sixth Division basically shunned him.

What happened to the noble exclusive team?

He is the real head of the five nobles!

"Byakuzai...cough cough, where is Captain Kuchiki now?" Thinking about the embarrassment of the younger generation he valued, Yoichi Sifengyuan used a dry cough to cover up the title he said because it was too easy .

The members of the Sixth Division didn't dare to say anything in front of Sifengyuan Yeyi - even if she ignored her status as the head of one of the five nobles, the opponent was still the captain of the Second Division.

Where is the existence that they can beak at will?

"The captain is in the captain's room right now, the captain of Sifengyuan," answered Ye Yi's question respectfully. Facing one of the only two female captains in Goutei [-], the team member felt that I was so suppressed by the opponent's aura that I didn't dare to take a big breath.

Obviously the other party did nothing.

"Oh, that's right," Ye nodded when he got the response, and after casually saying "Thank you", he walked towards the captain's room of the sixth team in a familiar way.

The overall style of the [-]th Division, which is the exclusive team for nobles, is completely different from that of the [-]nd Division—but this is fine, after all, none of the [-] divisions of the Goutei [-]th Division have a similar style.

Walking to the door of the captain's room of the [-]th Division, after feeling the Reiatsu of Kuchiki Byakuya alone in the room, Ye Yi directly opened the door.

"Yo, little brother Bai Zai, I'm here to play with you."

Kuchiki Byakuya, who was reviewing the documents, really didn't notice Yoruichi's arrival. After all, when Yoruichi deliberately suppressed the Reiatsu and footsteps, it was extremely difficult for even Kuchiki Byakuya to notice her existence.

Hearing the familiar voice that could be called the shadow of his own childhood, Byakuya Kuchiki paused his hand that was reviewing official documents, and tightened his fingers holding the writing brush, almost breaking the brush that was made by a famous artist in his hand. brush.

"...It's working time now, Captain Sifengyuan."

Ever since he joined Goutei [-]th Team, Kuchiki Byakuya, who is naturally hot-tempered but loves to pretend to be paralyzed in front of others, has completely become unlovable in Yoruichi's eyes.

But she also found a new way to tease herself, the younger generation who has watched her grow up since she was a child.

Compared to turning Kuchiki Byakuya from a fake iceberg into an active volcano by pulling out a hair rope, it is obviously more challenging and difficult to tease Kuchiki Byakuya who has completely turned into an iceberg now. more fun.

"We're off work in a quarter of an hour."

"Then it's also working time, Captain Sifengyuan."

Looking at the boy in front of him who used to be a "cat demon" when he saw her, now he has grown into a rigid young man who is a "Captain of Sifengyuan" one by one... Sifengyuan Yeyi feels that he has become more rigid and boring at the same time ...

I want to tease him even more.

"Really," Ye Yi raised his eyebrows, a pair of round cat eyes staring maliciously at Ye Yi who just pretended that she didn't exist and was still busy processing documents, "Then I'll wait here for you to get off work."

"Bai, Zai, Xiao, brother."

pat-

A clear cracking sound was particularly obvious in this room filled with two captain-level spiritual pressures.

In the end, Kuchiki Byakuya couldn't hold back and broke the well-made writing brush in his hand, without changing expression, he casually threw the writing brush in his hand into the trash can placed at the foot of the table, and threw it in along with it , and the completely destroyed document in his hand.

By the way, during this process, he never raised his head to look at Sifengyuan Yeyi who was sitting on the sofa from the beginning to the end.

……

"It's great that you can come and help." Although it is the job of the maids to prepare ingredients and drinks, Shiba Kuzuru was able to come here in advance to help check the room for the party later. Zhou Jianwen was very moved by his heart .

In terms of boldness, Shiba Konghe, who is not inferior to his brother at all, smiled, and put the wine jar and the appetizers he brought on the table, "What are you talking about, don't even look at the two of us What kind of friendship."

Zhou Jianmin nodded with a smile, and ordered the maid of the Masune family to bring tea to Shiba Konghe.

But how can tea satisfy Shiba Kuzuru?She casually put the tobacco stick in her hand aside, and couldn't stop looking at the wine jar on the table, "You said, why don't we drink it first?"

"Forget it," Zhou Jianwen pushed the plate of pastries in front of Konghe, "If you drink now, I'm afraid there won't be any wine to drink when they come later."

"……Hey!"

……

Kuchiki Rukia was terrified when she received the invitation from her revered vice-captain and the third seat.

She confirmed the other party's content again and again, and after receiving Shiba Tsu's clear answer with a smile, she finally realized that this was not a temporary auditory hallucination.

"However, elder brother, he..."

Subconsciously, she wanted to nod to accept the invitation, but when she thought of her cold-faced brother-in-law, Kuchiki Rukia began to feel apprehensive in her heart.

"It's okay, I'll talk to you, little brother Bai Zai," Haiyan put her arms around Rukia's head, and when she didn't hurt her, she said in a bright tone as always, "It's really not possible when the time comes. Just let someone notify him."

If Ye Yi succeeded, maybe there would be no need to go again.

Rukia Kuchiki is hesitating for the vice-captain who has always trusted her, but also knows that the other party - including Captain Shifengin of the [-]nd Division and Captain Urahara of the [-]th Division - and her elder brother are old friends for many years After a while, he finally nodded.

However, when she followed Shiba Haiyan and his wife to the mansion of the Mansune family, she was a little dazed.

"Ah, don't worry, we always meet at Jianwen's house every time."

Casually explained to Rukia who attended their meeting for the first time, after Haiyan was welcomed into the mansion by the servants of the Manafune family, she brought the appetizers in one hand, and walked towards each time familiarly. to the meeting place.

"Is it... Mrs. Zhenzhou Jianwen?"

As one of the five great nobles, the Manafune family also has a collateral lineage, so it is not necessarily possible to judge that this mansion belongs to the Manafune family just from the "Qingyun Zhaoshui octagonal pattern" printed on the outer wall that belongs to the Manafune family. Which one.

But the man named Jianwen of the Manuzu family...the only one is the head of the Manuu family, Manuu Jianwen.

The name Kuchiki Rukia is not unfamiliar, after all, the other party is the current Patriarch of one of the five nobles and the former captain of the Juban team.Although she doesn't often appear in the eyes of everyone nowadays, her sense of presence should not be underestimated.

"Yeah," Haiyan didn't wonder why Rukia knew about Zhou Jianwen, who had retired before she joined the Guardian Thirteen Team - after all, the little girl is now a member of the Kuchiki family, and These things can be regarded as basic common sense among nobles.

But when Rukia followed Haiyan and his wife into the room, what she saw made her stunned on the spot.

The room was already full of people sitting there, and one of them was a strange woman wearing a homely kimono that Kuchiki Rukia had never seen before. Unsurprisingly, it was the head of the Manafune family, Manafune Kenmin, and besides her...

There are also Captain Yoichi Yoruichi of the Second Division, Captain Kisuke Urahara of the Twelfth Division, and...

"Brother?"

Kuchiki Rukia exclaimed, and then seemed to realize something, and quickly covered her mouth with her hands—this little girl, who was extremely brave by nature, was not inferior to boys, when she saw her cold-faced brother-in-law, she felt as if The mouse is like a cat.

Kuchiki Byakuya obviously didn't expect to see his adopted sister here, but he didn't need to think about the reason for it, as long as he looked at the people who followed his adopted sister, he already understood the reason.

Maintaining the usual indifference, just nodding in response to Kuchiki Rukia's greeting, Kuchiki Byakuya just took his eyes away from Kuchiki Rukia, and found himself surrounded by Sifengin Yoruichi and Shiba Haiyan Living.

"Don't be so cold, little brother Bai Zai."

"That's right, Rukia is also your sister, how can there be a brother who is so indifferent to his own sister?"

"Haiyan is right! You will be fined three cups!"

"Yes! Three cups!"

Kuchiki Rukia stared dumbfounded at her stern and serious elder brother surrounded by Lord Sifengin and Haiyan from left to right. The meaning is to pour it down for him.

Both Shiba Kuzuru and Shiba on one side were not surprised by this, they pressed Rukia to the table and started chatting.

Facing such a scene, Kuchiki Rukia didn't know what to do when she looked dazed, when she heard a gentle voice sounding from her side.

"You are Byakuya's foster sister, Miss Rukia, right?"

"Yes, yes, Masune-sama."

That fearful look is really different from what Zhou Jianmin knew, but considering that it was Kuchiki Byakuya who adopted the little girl, and Kuchiki's house has such an atmosphere - everyone can understand.

"You don't have to be so restrained, the people present and Bai Zai are all old acquaintances," Zhou Jianwen signaled the little girl to relax, "It's fine to call us by first names, we actually don't like being called by surnames Come call."

Kuchiki Rukia felt that this was completely different from the Kuchiki family's education, especially the style of her elder brother.

Aristocrats... especially big aristocrats, shouldn't they value their surname more?

Seeming to see Kuchiki Rukia's confusion, Zhou Jianwen just smiled and said, "It's because of this that I cherish the partner who can call me by my name even more."

The meaningful words made Kuchiki Rukia half-understand, she nodded blankly, and Zhou Jianmin didn't say anything more when she saw this, but said a few words, which attracted a noisy scene as soon as she entered the room. The group's attention.

After realizing that everyone's eyes were on her, Zhou Jianwen held the wine glass and raised it slightly——

"Actually, I don't know what to say, so let's drink to this beautiful moment."

Anyway, there is no need for any high-sounding reason to drink. After hearing Zhou Jianwen's words, the others also picked up the cups, and several white porcelain wine glasses collided with each other, making a pleasant sound.

At the same time, there was everyone's response——

"cheers!"
