I am the protagonist

"Um……"

Chrome responded softly, closed her eyes, and continued sleeping.

Recently, she has started to focus more on exercising and has been going to bed much later at night. She is still sleepy at this hour and wants to sleep a little longer.

Especially on the Boss's lap, a little more sleep can completely eliminate all her fatigue from the day.

It's just that I need to sleep for a little longer.

Chrome is starting to look more and more like a girl lately.

This should be the only thing Tsuna can be happy about. Although his dependence on Chrome is still just as strong, at least Chrome has changed a lot in some ways.

As for acting cute... Tsuna is already used to it.

The combined power of the various factions, plus Alcbarreno's capabilities, is now roughly equal.

Given the current disparity in strength, some teams may be completely eliminated on the first day of the competition.

The Avengers will likely get involved soon; they're probably getting impatient.

Tsunayoshi understands the Avengers' feelings best; with their enemy right in front of them, they absolutely will not let this opportunity slip by.

In other words, the first day was an elimination battle between their teams, but after the Avengers joined, it became a battle between them and the Avengers.

The Avengers' involvement will inevitably accelerate the proxy war; everything will be over in four days... no, it should be over in three days.

Multi-party conflict is unavoidable.

Day 1...

Tsuna did not make any direct predictions about the future. This battle was definitely orchestrated by insiders, so he believed that he would face one of Byakuran, Enma, or his father on the first day.

It might even be three against one.

That kind of situation will definitely happen.

Because that guy knew I was guaranteed to win.

About an hour later, Tsuna and Chrome went downstairs to wash up.

"Yo!"

Tsuna gave his father a strange look, completely ignoring the guy's ability to be funny.

"Krom, go wash up first."

"Ah."

Chrome glanced at the people sitting in the living room and then went to the bathroom to wash up.

Tsuna plopped down next to Reborn.

“Reborn, this time we might face some old friends on the very first day.”

"For example?"

Reborn calmly sipped his coffee, without even raising his head.

"Bai Lan, Yan Zhen, and Dad."

"This proxy war will be very fast-paced, even faster than we imagined, and the outcome may be decided within three days."

"Three days...that's fast enough."

The outcome of seven teams was decided in just three days, which is a bit fast, but three days is not a short time for a large-scale melee.

"Although it's a six-way battle, three days is still going by quite quickly."

"...Six directions?"

"There's still one stupid thing whose location hasn't been filled by a proxy yet."

“There’s someone just as unpopular in Alcobaleno… Ah, it’s Skull.”

Tsuna's reaction was a little slow; there really was such a person in Alcbareno who was particularly unpopular.

"That stupid thing."

Reborn really didn't want to mention that stupid thing. He couldn't even find a proxy. He didn't know how Alcbareno had managed all these years.

"He used to be known as a stuntman that even Death himself found annoying, and now it seems he really is annoying enough that he can't find a single agent."

His dark eyes conveyed a sense of disdain.

"That's such a shame."

Reborn then turned his attention to Tsuna.

“That idiot Skull went to the Simon family first.”

"Yes, I know, that's why I recommended that Feng go find Enma and the others to act as his agents. Compared to Skull, Feng seems to have much more strength. Skull should just go somewhere cool and stay put."

Iemitsu, Larmilch, and Colonello were all speechless. So, Skull's inability to find an agent is related to you?

"Sawada, you just kicked Skull out of the game like that?"

"Oh~ do you think his existence is valuable? Compared to you guys, he's just here to make you laugh, right?"

Colonello thought about Skull's personality for a moment, then remained silent. He simply couldn't refute the fact that Skull was a comedian.

"What a comedian is good at is not coming to participate in the games at Alcbareno, but to participate in comedian training."

"And losing one of those who can't die should be a good thing for you, since you came to participate in this proxy war for someone else."

Larmilch immediately turned to look at Colonello.

Colonello, whose thoughts had been exposed, was a little embarrassed. He didn't actually want Larmilch to know his purpose in participating in this proxy war.

"Tsuna, let's not talk about that idiot Colonello now. It's time to talk about your plans. You've done a lot of good things without my knowledge."

Chapter 277 Tsuna's Direct Explosion

"There's nothing we can do about it."

“It’s not that I want to take the risk, but the other party has already guessed that I can predict many things. That guy already knows that I have predicted his identity, and even his family. This time, he will definitely appear in front of me in order to get rid of me.”

"This is also my bet."

“Reborn, as you should know, I’m not someone who likes to be threatened. The only thing I do with threats is to completely eliminate them from my sight, and right now he’s a nuisance to me.”

"He is inevitably the one I will eliminate."

Tsuna's words were brimming with murderous intent, but his calm, completely expressionless face only made people feel even colder.

It was as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Reborn also knew how determined Tsuna was in this operation.

"How is the situation with Hibari?"

Tsuna shook his head helplessly.

“It would take Hibari at least a year of training to fully master that power. The cloud’s corrosiveness is just too strong, and its power is more difficult to control than anyone else’s. I’ve only been helping Hibari with some stabilizing training so that he doesn’t easily enter that state.”

"It does seem to be even more dangerous than I imagined, Tsuna. Even you can't handle it."

Tsuna shrugged, indicating that he was under a lot of pressure.

"If Hibari wants to fully master that power, he needs time to get used to it. External help won't be very effective for him. And with his talent, it will take him at most one to three years to complete it on his own."

"However, during this period, his strength was still the lowest besides Lambo."

Lark possesses exceptional talent, and his future is extraordinary.

However, it takes time to truly embark on an extraordinary future; without sufficient time, it is impossible to reach that extraordinary state.

This period of growth and improvement is the greatest test for him.

Will you follow your own rules and grow stronger step by step, or will you become an irrational monster?

"So there are only four people available in total."

"Sasagawa, Yamamoto, Gokudera, and Chrome—it won't be easy for the four of them to deal with those guys."

(...Cornano, do you know what Sawada and Reborn were saying?)

(Who knows?)

(However, this is likely closely related to the current proxy war.)

Colonello's eyes lit up; he could guess that Reborn and Sawada were talking about something related to the proxy war.

The person Sawada just mentioned wanting to kill is undoubtedly Pawnface.

If Colonello had the choice, he would definitely choose to kill the chess piece face.

Previously, Colonello had no such option.

Because everything stems from that chess piece face.

Colonello wasn't sure if the pawn-faced guy would continue to use this tactic, so he hoped to take this opportunity to kill him completely.

"Sawada, will your plan succeed?"

Although Colonello's current position isn't really in a position to say this, he still couldn't help but ask it.

"I don't have any plans."

Tsuna didn't say much, but instead pointed to the watch.

Colonello and Larmilch narrowed their eyes and instantly knew what Sawada wanted to say.

Is there a problem with the watch?

Indeed, this was prepared by that guy; how could it be considered safe?

Colonello immediately put the watch away and stored it in a soundproof place.

Iemitsu also took off his watch and placed it in a place where he wouldn't hear a sound.

"I just wanted to kill him."

Yes, Tsuna's plan was specifically prepared to kill Pawnface.

"Is it even possible to succeed? That guy is no easier to deal with than the others."

“It’s alright, but my desire to kill him is real. After all, I have too many connections with Alcbareno. That guy now knows that I predicted his true identity, as well as the identities of his pawn and his daughter. Now he definitely wants to get rid of me as soon as possible.”

"After all, I also had reasons to want to kill him."

Colonello immediately realized Sawada's reason for wanting to kill Chess Piece Face, and this reason also made him very interested in Sawada's actions.

"A very interesting reason!"

"Sawada, would you mind if I joined in too?"

(Clonello!)

"Sure, if you find it interesting, I wouldn't mind if you wanted to join in."

"Anyway, this game is definitely going to turn into a farce, and there will definitely be actions that don't follow the rules. But if you get involved, I won't take advantage of you."

"If my plan succeeds, I will help you and Larmilch break the curse."

"!?"

Neither Colonello nor Larmilch expected Sawada to say that.

"Hey Hey hey!"

"Tsuna, you're not thinking of using the same method you used to lift Arya's curse to lift Lalmilch's curse, are you?"

"..."

These words instantly ruined Tsuna's composure.

"I'll fuck you, uncle!"

"Why don't you mention that I used my DNA to break Colonello's curse!?"

"...It's not good for men to be together."

"!?"

At that moment, Tsuna almost exploded with anger.
