I am the protagonist

So he brought people to see the play today.

Chapter 189 Varia's Arrival

"Tsuna had made sufficient preparations before returning, but he still caused these problems. It seems that the problem with Alcbareno is really not ordinary."

Byakuran knew that Tsuna had made thorough preparations before returning from the future.

The preparations made before the battle were definitely used by Tsunayoshi to prepare for his return.

Before the battle, Tsuna must have been confident that he could end his Eternal Game, otherwise he wouldn't have had a week to prepare.

"It's not Alcobaleno's problem, it's Uni's problem."

Byakuran pondered the differences and then understood why Tsuna, despite being well-prepared, still made a mistake.

"I see. The successors of the Great Sky Pacifier are fundamentally different from the other Alcbareno. You have to bear more burdens and endure greater pressure."

"Tsuna treated you like Reborn, and even though he made a lot of preparations, the problems that were bound to occur still happened."

He said that Tsuna had prepared for a week, but the same thing still happened after he came back.

It turns out that the curse on Yuni is different from the curse of the usual Alcbareno, which is why some things happened that were completely unexpected.

Is it because it wasn't predicted?

Bai Lan denied this idea.

[Given Tsunayoshi's abilities, there's nothing he can't predict. He can even use time-stopping without restraint. His abilities are different from mine; they have no limitations. If he wants to predict something, he can predict it.]

Time is the power to glimpse the future and the past, and Tsunayoshi, who can almost completely control the power of time, can do many incredible things.

It is certainly easy to make a prediction about a situation.

[Could it be because the world was on the verge of complete collapse at that time, leading to inaccuracies in all prior predictions?]

Or perhaps it's a correction to the world's understanding?

Byakuran couldn't guess the specifics, but Tsuna probably knew something.

Let's ask about it later.

"Ok?"

"Xanxus is here too."

“What a surprise…”

Bai Lan turned around and saw a familiar face again, but Xanxus's arrival really surprised him.

I originally thought that Xanxus would definitely not come to attend Tsunayoshi's succession ceremony, but I didn't expect him to come.

"It was indeed a bit of a surprise."

Even Arya was a little surprised by Xanxus's arrival.

Having completely lost her ability to predict the future, she is unable to do so. However, based on her past understanding of Xanxus's personality, Aria judges that Xanxus will not attend Tsuna's succession ceremony this time.

But the person Arya judged not to come actually showed up, which was quite unexpected.

Valia's arrival naturally attracted a lot of attention.

After all, Varia is a very famous assassination squad of the Vongola, and also one of the Vongola's main forces.

[I didn't expect even Varia to be here this time.]

Has even Varia acknowledged Vongola X's identity as the XVongola Lord?

All the families attending the ceremony knew Varia's importance to the Vongola family, and they also knew that not long ago Varia had some issues with the current Vongola X regarding succession. They originally thought that Varia would not acknowledge the identity of the Vongola X.

But the situation seemed quite different from what they had imagined.

(It seems the situation is different from what we expected.)

(This time, Vongola X has gained Varia's recognition, so it seems we need to change our attitude.)

Rumor has it that Vongola X is just an ordinary junior high school student, and even a bit cowardly in personality.

This single piece of information was enough to make the Mafia families somewhat disdainful of them.

However, everyone knows that this ordinary junior high school student will definitely change after mastering the Vongola.

However, they will not change their attitude until this change happens.

After all, their attitude was directed at Vongola X, not at a middle school student with a weak will.

But Valia's recognition was different.

Varia is a special assassination unit directly under the control of the Vongola Boss. Their recognition determines whether the succession to the Vongola Boss is legitimate.

In other words, if Varia doesn't acknowledge a successor as the Boss, then the attitude towards him will definitely need to be somewhat perfunctory.

However, if Varia is the one who acknowledges as the successor to the Boss, then this attitude needs to be changed.

"That's so realistic."

Bai Lan had seen many such scenes before, and he was already very clear about the complexity and fickleness of human nature.

"Valia's mere presence changed attitudes so much."

"Lord Byakuran is nothing but a bunch of fools."

"Heh~ They really are a bunch of stupid fools."

Concealing the disdain and sneer in her eyes, Byakuran didn't want these things to spoil her mood for celebrating with Tsuna.

Even though Bai Lan usually seems carefree and cheerful, he still has his own sense of pride.

Even a normal demeanor isn't meant for those who don't like it.

There are only a few people in this world whom he can call friends: Masashi is one, and Tsunayoshi is another.

As for Kikyo and the others, they are not friends, but family.

The definition of family is different from that of friends.

Therefore, Bai Lan can only truly acknowledge two friends; the others are merely people she can exploit.

"Boss."

"Ah."

Byakuran noticed Valia, and naturally Valia noticed Byakuran in return.

Xanxus frowned slightly when he saw Byakuran.

His superhuman intuition allowed him to sense a very dangerous aura emanating from Byakuran; the mere glimpse of this aura was enough for him to smell the scent of death.

"It's become more complicated to come back after ten years."

Ten years later, Blanche is not so terrifying; at least you can still sense where the difference lies.

However, returning to the place he was in ten years ago, Brando was no longer able to feel the difference in position.

[He's practically just like Sawada Tsunayoshi.]

The last person to give Xanxus this feeling of death was Sawada Tsunayoshi.

The situation has changed, but the danger has increased.

While chatting, people in the courtyard also entered the castle to witness the succession ceremony.

The Vongola succession ceremony is a ceremony for the changing of the guard and the generational renewal of the Vongola, and it naturally attracts a lot of attention.

Especially with the encouragement of Valia's presence, the ceremony became even more solemn.

Chapter 190 The Protagonist Makes His Debut at the Inheritance Ceremony

(...Edheti, six very dangerous people have appeared.)

The intense aura of death seemed to stimulate Yan Zhen's nerves. When his eyes swept across the area, he saw six people, and those six people simultaneously made him feel the taste of death.

This situation terrified Yan Zhen.

You must know that he has already been drenched in the blood of Simon I, and the Simon Ring has begun to awaken, but even so, he still smelled a very strong stench of death.

(!?)

It's rare for someone to be called a "dangerous person" by Enma, and Ed Heidi was taken aback, immediately glancing over at him.

They are very different from other people just by looking at their appearance.

【young!】

Too young!

The white-haired boy leading the group didn't look very old; at least, judging by Edheidi's own judgment, he was only in middle or high school.

After determining the other person's age, Edheidi subconsciously looked at their face.

But just as she looked over, those eyes met hers.

Ed Haiti withdrew her gaze after only a moment.

The dryness in her eyes caused Edheidi to shed some tears.

(Ed Heidi?)

(...is a very troublesome person.)

The moment their eyes met, she felt a sharp pain.

Even without detailed perception, one can tell just how strong the opponent has become.

That's... the heir to the Mare Ring.

Others may not yet understand the other person's identity, but Curie, standing to the side, already knows who the other person is.

Byakuran Gesso... He was just controlled by the Vongola a while ago, and he's been released so quickly?

The situation has indeed gotten slightly out of my control.

However, in this situation, it is not particularly difficult to bring things back from the brink of chaos.

We've prepared plenty of pieces this time, but before that, let them help us deal with some others.

In order to achieve his goals, Curie knew that his identity could not be revealed casually, so he could only do things under this identity for the time being.

His eyes swept over the people around him.

[As expected of people who have lived together for so long, they noticed even the slightest changes.]

He wasn't stupid; he had already sensed that these people were suddenly becoming wary of him.

However, these people are only wary of him now, but this wariness does not prevent him from doing certain things.

It doesn't prevent him from getting things done.

After all, they now share the same goal.

The Simon family hopes to seize this opportunity to reclaim their glory, and he only needs to do something to get what he wants.

[Heh~]

Even if they become suspicious, so what? As long as we share the same goal, they won't doubt my actions. However, we still need to be careful with these people.

Curie didn't really care about the Simon family, but the holder of the Marais Ring really worried him.

The holder of the Mare Ring... is the future holder of the ring.

Unfortunately, I don't know much about the future.

The information he has now includes details about the future, but there isn't actually much about the future.

It's like he knows that Sawada Tsunayoshi recently returned from the future, but he doesn't know exactly what Sawada Tsunayoshi did in the future, since he has no source of information on that.

Because of this, he knew absolutely nothing about the holder of the Mare Ring.

He didn't want to have much contact with the owner of the Marai Ring.

He could clearly sense the strength of his opponents; almost none of them were weaker than the Vongola Guardians from his first life, and some even seemed stronger.

Will they be the strong ones that emerge in the future?

Without information about these people, I'd rather not provoke them.

None of the guardians of the First Era were simple, and Curie had absolutely no idea what to do with the First Era, especially when facing it head-on.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to use a scheme directly in the first place.
