I am the protagonist

"Krom, let's go."

"Yes, Boss."

Chrome lowered his voice as he walked past Rokudo Mukuro.

(Lord Mukuro, please take care.)

Hearing the words "Take care," Rokudo Mukuro's heart grew even heavier.

Sawada Tsunayoshi...

You said that on purpose, didn't you?

There was no doubt that these words were deliberately said to him, but Rokudo Mukuro had no way to refute them.

Damn it! When did I start having these parasitic thoughts? If I really do have these thoughts, then what's the difference between me and those mafia bastards?

These thoughts are the most unacceptable to Rokudo Mukuro.

Because they shared a childhood of persecution, they had similar circumstances and similar thoughts.

There was a time when he despised those parasites who lived off others and never made any effort on their own... But now he seems to have become the kind of person he least wanted to be.

[...A complete defeat in the first match.]

Verdi could see with his eyes how heavy a blow those words were to Rokudo Mukuro. It wasn't through strength or anything else, but simply through a few words that Rokudo Mukuro desperately wanted to avoid the issue.

Kill people and kill your heart.

Perhaps Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't inflict much damage on Rokudo Mukuro in the morning, but he still managed to tear a large gash in his heart.

Reborn didn't say a single word... Sawada Tsunayoshi wasn't like this at all before. How did Reborn teach someone to change so drastically?

Verdy had no way of knowing what Reborn's educational methods were like. Reborn had always adhered to mysticism, which was also the kind of mysticism that Verdy disliked the most, so he and Reborn actually didn't get along very well.

What was supposed to be a demonstration turned into a blunder. I'm really unlucky to have run into such a troublesome guy.

Chapter 254 Going to the Rooftop at Noon

Why did you deliberately remind him?

Chrome gave Mr. Reborn a strange look.

"Rokudo Mukuro has gradually begun to become the very thing he hates most. I thought you would find it interesting."

"That kind of thing is completely meaningless, and I personally have no interest in it whatsoever. What interests me is his reminder; I'd really like to see if Rokudo Mukuro can achieve some kind of transcendence."

Reborn glanced at Chrome at that moment.

[Tsuna is really lying without even thinking.]

[If it's for Chrome, just say it's for Chrome. What's the point of insisting on saying it's to give Rokudo Mukuro a chance to transcend?]

Reborn thought Tsuna's actions were pointless, but that's just Tsuna's personality. If he hadn't been handling other things very well lately, he would definitely have taught this idiot a lesson right now.

However, considering that Tsuna has handled everything else well recently, Reborn won't say too much about this issue.

[As expected, the boss said that because of me.]

At this moment, Chrome believed that this was not just her own excessive ego, but that everything was as she had imagined.

Although she has now broken away from Obsidian, her past identity as an Obsidian member remains a label on her.

This label cannot be easily peeled off.

Chrome herself understood this, so she reduced her contact with Mukuro.

Because Boss helped her repay Mukuro's life-saving debt, Chrome isn't actually that awkward when she sees Mukuro now. She still feels respect, but there won't be any more entanglements, since Chrome knows she's no longer affiliated with Obsidian.

The clever Chrome didn't express her gratitude directly, but kept it in her heart.

They brought Chrome to Namimori, where a few people were already sitting sparsely in the classroom.

"Gokudera, Yamamoto, let's go sit on the rooftop together at noon. I have some things to discuss."

"I understand."

"OK!"

Both of them knew that something had happened.

"Good morning, Tsuna."

"...Waaah, Enma, why do you still look so disheveled today?"

The eye noticed that Yan Zhen's trousers were missing a part at the hem.

"Could it be that they've been targeted by a dog again?"

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Yan Zhen's face.

“I don’t know why, but every time I pass by that house, their dog will rush at me.”

"Could it be because you've been bullied by that dog for so long that it thinks you're easy to bully?"

"No, it can't be..."

Yan Zhen couldn't believe such a thing could happen, but it was true that the dog was watching him every day.

“I think the possibility is quite high. You yourself are bullied by that dog every day. Actually, I think you should teach that dog a lesson sometimes.”

"A kind person is often bullied, and a good horse is often ridden."

"I think you should understand this principle. Some people and dogs in the world are just so unreasonable. Many dogs don't understand how good you are to them, and they might even bark at you every day. So sometimes, necessary training is quite necessary."

"While using force to deal with a dog is not exactly a recommended approach, sometimes it is quite necessary to use force to make a disobedient dog obediently lie on the ground and listen to you."

"Once you properly train that dog, it will lie down and lick your shoes the next time it sees you, instead of barking at you."

"Tsuna, why do I feel like you're teaching me to solve problems with violence?"

"It's not violence, it's force."

Tsuna emphasized the point about "force," since force and violence are two completely different concepts.

"Yan Zhen, you should also know that there are some people in this world who cannot be resolved by words alone. Most of them are rather irritable and cannot listen to you properly, so in such cases, force is necessary."

"At times like these, what's needed is to use force to physically strike those agitated people, so that they can quickly return to a calm state. Only when people are in a changed state can they listen properly and better understand what you're trying to say."

"In addition, you need to figure out the difference between force and violence."

"Force is a way to calm a manic person down, while violence is a means to make a calm person manic. The two concepts are different. You can go back and ask Ed Haidy about this and you'll understand."

"After all, you should know that the Purge Committee uses force to educate students who don't understand human language. I think Ed Haidy has a clearer understanding of this than I do."

Yan Zhen gets an unusual headache whenever he thinks about the Edheidi Purge Committee, because he is one of the people who are frequently targeted for purges, and Edheidi will not show him any mercy in this regard.

"Tsuna, is that baby really the one you introduced?"

"Yes, I arranged for that baby to be sent there. If I hadn't, your Simon family might have ended up with an even more troublesome person. It's better to have him come to you as your agent than to let things escalate to that point."

Tsuna saw that other situations had arisen, but those situations were not so good for the Simon family, so he took the initiative to intervene.

As for what will happen to the baby wearing the helmet?

Ha~ If the baby can't find a proxy, that's the baby's own problem.

If you lack the ability, don't blame others for interfering.

"You should have heard the general situation from the baby, right?"

"Yes, the war started because of the curse on the baby, right?"

"Simply put, that's the gist of it, but the underlying situation is far more complex than it seems. The curse is just the trigger; the real reason lies in the origin of Alcobaleno and the problem it now faces."

"Yanzhen, at noon, call them all to the rooftop and explain the current situation to them."

"Ah."

Actually, just from the word "curse," Enma heard Ed and Heidi analyze a lot of things yesterday. The things hidden behind this must be quite significant, otherwise Tsuna wouldn't have introduced the baby to them.

Chapter 255 Just explode on the spot, you real-life type!

It was just noon, and Tsuna was about to take the bento his mother had prepared to the rooftop to eat while chatting when Koharu and Kyoko appeared in front of him.

"Mr. Tsuna, let's have lunch together today."

Tsuna glanced at the bento box, which didn't look like a girl's portion size.

"You guys prepared so much?"

"This, this was prepared together for everyone."

Looking at Xiaochun's somewhat arrogant demeanor, one could pretty much guess what the specific situation was.

"Yes, they were probably thinking about me, and for some reason, they prepared extra."

This time, Tsuna didn't make any predictions about the outcome. He felt that he already knew what the result would be just by looking at Koharu's deliberate explanation.

[But what were these two girls thinking when they prepared lunch? How could they prepare such a large portion?]

Is it because I've gotten used to doing it in the future? And I can't change this habit all at once?

"In that case, let's all eat together. You've made such a large portion this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to digest it all by myself."

To be honest, Tsuna felt a little pressured by the large portion of the bento.

This portion size is definitely not something one person can finish. Even if he has a large appetite, Koharu and Kyoko clearly made the bento box based on the appetite of many people. It would be a miracle if he could eat it all.

"Hmm, hmm... okay."

Although she was a little reluctant, Koharu knew that Tsuna couldn't finish such a large amount by himself, and it would be better for everyone to share it.

"Then I'll get the bento."

Tsuna placed his hand on the bento that Haru and Kyoko had prepared, and then the bento disappeared right in front of the two girls.

"Hey?"

Koharu quickly grabbed Tsuna's hands with both of them, turning them over and over to look at them, as if trying to find out where the missing bento had gone.

"Where did you go?"

"How could it just disappear like that?"

The adorable and silly Haru immediately made Kyoko, who was next to her, laugh.

"Haru, you should ask Tsuna what happened if your bento box is missing."

"Oh right! Mr. Tsuna, where exactly did you put the bento box? How did it just disappear like that?"

"Where did it go? Of course, it was put away."

The bento box reappeared in Tsunayoshi's hands.

This scene startled Haru so much that she wanted to reach out and touch the lunchbox to see if it was real. But when she reached out, the lunchbox disappeared again, and her hand could only touch Tsuna's palm.

"Gone again?"

This time, Koharu carefully examined Mr. Tsuna's palm, but couldn't find the bento box anywhere.

(That's strange... Where did they hide something so big?)

Kyoko, who was standing next to her, almost burst out laughing when she saw Koharu still busy searching for the lunchbox in Tsuna's hands. It would be strange if Koharu could find something that Tsuna had hidden.

(Haru, this is something Tsuna hid, how did you find it?)

(Oh right...)

Koharu immediately snapped out of it. It would be a miracle if she could find what Tsuna had hidden, and besides, Tsuna must have used some method other than magic to hide it.

"Hmph! Mr. Tsuna, you're lying."

"???"

"This is clearly not magic; they deliberately used some special methods to hide the lunchbox."

Tsuna looked at Haru and was both amused and exasperated. He had no intention of asking Haru to find the lunchbox; it was absolutely unrealistic for her to find something hidden in the "tool box." He was just going along with Haru's idea of ​​finding it.

“I didn’t tell you that this was magic; you just made it up yourself.”

However, it's quite fun to play around with Xiaochun like this once in a while.

As long as Xiaochun's reaction is interesting, this girl is really naive. She actually went to look for where the lunchbox in his hand went. Kyoko, on the other hand, immediately guessed that he had used some special ability.

"I don't care, it's all Tsuna's fault, so Tsuna should be punished for holding my hand."

[Fuck! Is that punishment? If it's punishment, then punish me!]
