Anime/Manga: Bankai Starting with Demon Slayer

As a unique member of the Arcobaleno, Yuni and her mother and grandmother bear curses that are different from those of the other Arcobaleno.

Although they will not become babies, a curse of short life flows in their blood.

It is a cruel shackle that devours life force and makes the soul increasingly heavy.

However, because she received the baptism and nourishment of the bird's hellfire, the law of birth and death contained within it miraculously improved Yuni's already fragile bloodline genes.

The heaviness and weakness that used to weigh on my heart have now completely disappeared.

That large empty pacifier has been permanently sealed in Willdy's Rainbow Circulation Equipment and taken away by the Vongola Family for strict protection.

Yuni raised her fair and slender hand to shield her eyes, letting the sunlight shine through her fingers as she looked at the blue sky.

Her body felt lighter than ever before, and with each breath, she could feel the vibrant life force surging within her.

This feeling is so dreamlike it's almost unreal.

"Princess, how are you feeling today?" Gamma, dressed in a sharp suit, stood to the side, looking at his mistress with gentle eyes.

"It feels great, Gamma."

Yuni smiled and turned her head, her eyes, as clear as the azure sea, sparkling with a long-lost carefree light: "My body feels so light, like I could fly at any moment."

"Everyone is enjoying peace right now, and I also want to stay in Namimori for a while and enjoy this rare holiday with everyone."

“Yes, my princess… No matter how long you wish to stay here, I will stay with you.” Gamma bowed slightly, his eyes filled with relief and joy.

As for Reborn....

His life seemed to have changed, yet it also seemed to have remained completely unchanged.

Sawada's house, in Tsuna's bedroom.

"Waaaaah! Why do you seem even scarier now that you've returned to your adult form, Reborn?!"

"This is murder! This is absolutely murder!"

Sawada Tsunayoshi rubbed the back of his head, which was swollen high, and lay on the tatami mat, letting out a desperate wail.

At the desk, Reborn, the world's number one assassin, reappeared, dressed in a black suit, wearing a black-brimmed hat, tall and exuding a deadly charm.

He was elegantly sipping his espresso.

On his shoulder, the mutated lizard Leon was lazily rolling around.

"Idiot, complaining won't solve your final exam review problems."

Reborn spoke with a deep laugh: "Although the curse has been lifted, it doesn't mean your tutoring as the Tenth Vongola Boss can stop."

"In fact, because I've regained my adult body, the intensity of the upcoming training will be doubled."

"No! My vacation! My peaceful life that I finally got back!!" A-Gang rolled around on the ground, clutching his head.

Downstairs, Nana's mother's gentle voice came at just the right moment: "Tsuna~ Reborn~ The food is ready, come down and eat!"

"Okay, Mom, I'll be right there."

Reborn put down his coffee cup and gave a meaningful smile.

Although Tsuna's combat strength is no longer a concern for him, there are still many shortcomings in other aspects.

As the successor of the Vongola family, he still has a long way to go.

So Reborn decided to stay at Tsuna's house for the time being and continue to be the tutor of this silly student who was causing him so much trouble.

Sunlight bathed every corner of Namimori Town, and the wind blew through the street corners, carrying the aroma of flowers and food.

On the street, children were chasing and playing happily.

Inside the amusement park, screams and laughter echoed from the roller coasters.

At the Sawada family home, the chaotic yet incredibly warm daily life continues as before.

Everything seemed so peaceful, and everyone was immersed in this hard-won tranquility and comfort.

However.....

In this relaxed and extremely peaceful atmosphere.

In a corner of Namimori Town, someone was secretly and furtively lurking around with their dog.

It was a secluded and quiet apartment building, far from the main road.

The apartment door was tightly shut, and even the curtains were drawn tightly, completely shutting out the bright sunlight from the outside.

In the dimly lit room, only a table lamp emitted a faint and soft light.

The bird was sitting on one side of the dining table.

At this moment, he no longer possessed the domineering and majestic aura he had when he cleaved through the heavens and earth in Hueco Mundo; instead, he appeared somewhat restless.

He was on edge, his eyes filled with unprecedented tension.

Sitting opposite him was Bianchi, the Vongola's master of poisonous cuisine, Gokudera Hayato's older sister, and Reborn's ex-girlfriend.

Bianchi stood with her arms crossed, facing the man who had saved the Arcobaleno with an extremely serious expression and gaze.

"so....."

Bianchi picked up her cup of black tea and took a small sip: "You went through all this trouble to have Hayato pass on a message to me, and mysteriously arranged to meet me, just for this?"

Asuka coughed and rubbed her nose somewhat awkwardly.

"Ahem...that's right." Asuka lowered her voice, as if discussing some top-secret matter concerning the survival of the three realms: "I heard from Reborn that you...you're quite good at this kind of thing, so I wanted to discuss it with you privately..."

"How should I give Shinobu a... surprise?"

"A surprise?" Bianchi raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm..." Asuka nodded heavily, a faint blush rising to her cheeks.

Those eyes, usually so resolute, were now filled with an unyielding tenderness and earnestness:

"Along this journey, Shinobu has been with me through so much... She has suffered so much and endured so much fear."

"Now that everything has settled down, I think..."

Asuka took a deep breath, looked at Bi Yangqi with a serious expression, and said her thoughts word by word.

Upon hearing Asuka's plan, Bianchi froze on the spot.

Her mouth hung open, and she even stammered excitedly, "This... I've never done this before..."

"Please, Miss Bianchi." Asuka clasped her hands together, rarely asking for a favor: "I originally wanted to figure out a way myself, but my mind is completely blank and I have no ideas, so I've come to you for help..."

"As long as this matter is handled well, I will try my best to fulfill any request you make! Even immortality, I will try my best to achieve it!"

Ding-dong!

Just then, the apartment doorbell rang.

Asuka sprang up from her chair in an instant and used her Instant Step to hide in the bedroom of her apartment, holding her breath.

Bianchi gave him a speechless look: "...Looking at you, I really find it hard to imagine that you're the Grim Reaper who controls our lives after death..."

"Don't be nervous, it should be Koharu and Kyoko who have arrived."

"Huh?! You betrayed me!" Asuka's eyes widened.

“You’re being so mysterious. I thought that if we’re going to come up with ideas, we should brainstorm together.” Bianchi said as she got up and walked towards the entrance. “Besides, how can I handle this kind of topic by myself?”

crunch--

"Excuse me, Sister Bianchi!"

"Excuse me."

Appearing at the door were Miura Haru with a bright and cheerful smile, and Sasagawa Kyoko, quiet and gentle.

The two were carrying several paper bags, which looked like they had brought some snacks with them.

"Come in quickly." Bianchi stepped aside.

"Huh? Mr. Asuka? You're already here?" Xiaochun changed into her slippers and walked into the living room. She saw Asuka, who was hiding stiffly in the bedroom, and tilted her head.

Kyoko also gave a friendly smile: "Hello, Mr. Asuka."

"Ah... um... hello everyone..." Asuka replied dryly.

Kyoko placed the box of sweets she had brought on the table and said softly, "Mr. Asuka, what would you like to discuss with us? Shinobu-nee is our good friend, and we will do our best to help if we can."

"That's right! Xiaochun has learned exactly what Ren-jie likes and dislikes these past few days!" Xiaochun patted her chest, looking very confident.

"Well then, now that everyone's here, let's take a good look at this."

Bianchi stood at the doorway with her hands on her hips, looking at the three of them:

"The Great Proposal Operation for Mr. Asuka!"

Chapter 859 The Great Proposal Operation (Part 1)

(bgm: Detective Conan, Nora (Because of You), Miho Komatsu)

The next day, at Kyoko and Haru's "enthusiastic invitation", Shinobu got up early and accompanied the two girls on a trip to the next city.

Not long after Shinobu Kocho left Hibari's residence, Tsuna, Gokudera, Reborn, and others arrived at the mansion one after another and gathered around Asuka.

The atmosphere around Table A was so serious it felt like a meeting about the survival of the world was being held.

That's the situation.

Reborn stood in the center of the table, tapped the blackboard with a pointer, and wrote five big words on it: "Operation Proposal".

"Mr. Asuka is going to propose to Ms. Butterfly?!" Tsuna stared in shock, then immediately felt a strange pressure: "Wait! Wait! Is it really okay to leave such an important matter to us to prepare?! What if we mess it up?"

“Stupid Gang, this is also an excellent test of your crisis management skills.”

Reborn smiled at Tsuna: "Besides, Mr. Asuka has done a great service to the entire Vongola family and to me personally. Do you intend to remain ungrateful?"

"No, no, no! I absolutely didn't mean that!" Tsuna waved his hands repeatedly, his heart filled with panic, but his eyes gradually hardened: "Mr. Asuka and Ms. Butterfly have sacrificed so much for everyone, I... I will definitely do my best to help!"

"The Tenth Boss's will is my will!"

Gokudera Hayato suddenly stood up, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit, and declared loudly, "Don't worry, Tenth Boss! I will definitely plan an unprecedented—grand wedding in the Vongola style—for Asuka-san!"

"I want to plant specially made rose bombs in every corner of Namimori Town. The moment Miss Butterfly agrees, the entire night sky of Namimori Town will be illuminated by the flames of the explosion. That will be the ultimate romance!"

"Hayato, you have no idea about romance." A lazy female voice came from behind Gokudera.

Bianchi carried a plate of 'dishes' that exuded an eerie purple aura into the room, her eyes aloof: "Weddings, such sacred ceremonies, represent the ultimate form of love."

"Love is like poison; once you're hooked, there's no cure... That's why the wedding banquet must be filled with my specially made cakes, so the newlyweds can experience this profound love."

"Sis! Stop making a mess here!" Gokudera's stomach clenched at the sight of Bianchi's dish: "What love?! That stuff is practically poisoning people!"

"Love needs to be tested," Bianchi scoffed.

Just as the siblings were about to have a full-blown fight in the conference room, Takeshi Yamamoto chuckled and stepped in between them: "Well, everyone, calm down... Actually, bombs and poison aren't really suitable for such a warm occasion, are they?"

"I think it would be nice to decorate the small chapel in Namimori Town with flower walls, wouldn't that be great?"

"I totally agree!!!" Liao Ping suddenly appeared out of nowhere, his fists clenched: "Build the flower wall to the extreme! Complete this task to the extreme!!"

Looking at the energetic and lively bird sitting in the corner, I rubbed my temples with a headache.

He suddenly wondered if it was really reliable to entrust this matter to this group of guys.

In the afternoon, at the Namimori-cho chapel.

"The flower wall is going to be here, right?" Takeshi Yamamoto moved a heavy solid wood table aside, a bright and cheerful smile on his face. "This is a big project, it has to be done properly!"

"The limit—!!"

Liaoping held a large bunch of freshly picked flowers and vines in his hand, his whole body burning with visible flames of passion. He frantically channeled his energy into the wooden flower stand in front of him: "For the ultimate happiness of Asuka and Miss Butterfly! This flower wall must be built with the utmost passion! Every flower must be perfectly positioned!"

Amidst the flying sawdust and petals, a huge and exquisite flower wall quickly took shape.

Nie Yinmeng stood in front of the flower wall, holding the construction drawings in her hand, carefully comparing them to see if there were any crooked or skewed parts.

Under Reborn's command, Tsuna and Gokudera made trip after trip carrying the goods, having a great time.

Meanwhile, in the clothing and flower shops of Namimori, Bianchi and Nana Sawada were excitedly selecting all the items needed for their wedding.

"Oh my, this white dress is so beautiful! It even has lace embroidery!" Nana exclaimed, holding up an elegantly tailored wedding gown, her eyes sparkling. "Although Miss Butterfly usually wears feathers, she'll definitely look as romantic as a fairy in this! Ah—it really reminds me of my youthful days with my husband~"

Bi Yangqi carefully compared the bouquets of flowers and gently sniffed them: "I heard that Miss Butterfly likes wisteria and lilies. For the bouquet, how about we use light purple hydrangeas paired with white lilies and wisteria spikes? It will be elegant and suit her temperament very well."

"Wow, as expected of Miss Bianchi! Let's use this one!"
