I am the protagonist

There was indeed something else going on.

That's not wrong. After all, it's just a succession ceremony. Does it really need the Ninth Generation to make the trip in person?

No family today possesses such courage.

Furthermore, Gamma also knows who exactly is sitting on the throne of Vongola X.

Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was able to carve out a niche for himself in the future world that Byakuran had warned him about and completely eliminate Byakuran, is no ordinary person.

[If Sawada Tsunayoshi were to take that position, it would likely elevate the Vongola's status in the world.]

Families that dare to show disrespect now will likely face difficulties later.

Even if Gamma believes the Vongola wouldn't do that, the Vongola family would definitely do it to curry favor with them.

"I came here specifically to talk about the relationship between Vongola and Giglionero."

"Well... I think we should discuss this with you, Boss?"

"cough!"

"I know pretty much about Arya's situation. I'm here to talk about the future relationship between the two families."

Gamma was completely confused; he couldn't understand what Ninth meant.

"Actually, the Vongola hopes to form a marriage alliance with Giglionello."

"!?"

"A marriage alliance!?"

This statement terrified Gamma.

He guessed that the Ninth Emperor had come to discuss something very important, but he didn't expect that the Ninth Emperor would come to discuss the matter of a marriage alliance.

"Ninth, Ninth generation, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"I remember that the current successor of the Vongola is Sawada Tsunayoshi, right? Does he want to marry the princess?"

Gamma's implication was that Sawada Tsunayoshi was too young.

"No, I didn't mean Uni."

"Could it be the Boss?"

If she's not a princess, then the marriage partner must be the Boss.

Gamma absolutely cannot accept this.

"It's not Arya either."

"???"

"So what you're talking about is..."

“...I was referring to Arya and Yuni.”

"……What!?"

At this moment, Gamma could no longer control his volume.

It's not surprising that the Vongola have plans for a marriage alliance, given that the Vongola X and the princess he brought back from ten years in the future are roughly the same age.

The problem is that the Vongola have a lot of targets for marriage this time, and they even chose the Boss as their marriage partner.

Gamma took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his anger.

"Ninth Generation, haven't you gone too far this time?"

"I have nothing to say about the Vongola's desire to arrange a marriage between the princess and the Vongola."

"But the Vongola actually wants to... arrange a marriage between the Boss and the Vongola?"

“…Gamma, calm down. I have my reasons for making this request.”

The Ninth King actually understood Gamma's feelings.

After all, he was also very worried when he first found out about this.

But there was no other way. After all, Tsuna hadn't done anything wrong, especially since Reborn's subsequent report was done to lift the short-lived curse on Yuni and Arya's bloodline.

More importantly, King IX also noted that Reborn's report mentioned that Arya did it voluntarily.

King IX wouldn't have come to bring up the marriage proposal if he hadn't known that Arya was acting voluntarily.

"Alright, Ninth Generation, please explain your reasons first."

Gamma managed to calm himself down a bit.

The Ninth Generation is not a boss who can do whatever he wants.

Knowing this, Gamma calmed himself down and needed to understand the specific reasons first.

But if there's even the slightest thing he doesn't like about the reasons behind it, he absolutely won't agree.

"Although the Giglionello family is very small, it has a special symbolism."

"Each generation of the Great Sky Pacifier inheritor comes from the Giglionero family, and the Great Sky Pacifier inheritor has some special rights, which are also the rights of the sole leader of Alcbareno."

Gamma was naturally aware of these matters, as they were his own business.

“If Arya objects, no one can force her, otherwise it would be going against all of Alcbareno.”

"But Arya and Yuni agree now."

"What!?"

"The boss agreed!?"

These words were like a lightning strike, causing green flames of lightning to erupt from Gamma's head.

"Just like I said, no one can force Arya to object if she wants to."

"Except for things she has already agreed to."

Arya wouldn't have wanted to come to Giglionero and run into a snag if she hadn't already met and agreed to the 9th King.

After all, arranged marriages are quite troublesome, especially between the current and future heirs of the Ozora Pacifier brand.

[Tsuna, while I really hope you expand the reach of the Vongola bloodline, you should still be more careful next time.]

I can't handle it if things like this keep happening.

To the Ninth Generation, Tsunayoshi was like a grandson.

He had no son, and naturally, no grandson.

However, the Ninth Generation treated Tsunayoshi like his own grandson.

Otherwise, the Ninth Generation wouldn't have been so enthusiastic about running around for Tsunayoshi.

Of course, he was still willing to facilitate Tsuna's marriage, especially since Aria had already agreed.

"But...why is this happening?"

Gamma couldn't understand why the Boss would accept a marriage alliance with the Vongola.

“Gamma, you should know that Arya is under a very strong curse, a curse that could even cause her to die very young.”

"...Could it be that Vongola X used this to threaten the Boss?"

The Ninth Generation stared speechlessly at the suddenly imagined Gamma.

That's not the case.

"Yesterday, Tsuna and the others brought Yuni back from the world of ten years ago, but some problems still occurred with Yuni."

"The outbreak of the curse put Yuni herself in danger. Tsuna had made preparations for this, but he still made the wrong judgment."

The Ninth Emperor also spoke about this without any hesitation.

"Tsuna suppressed the timing of the curse erupting on Yuni, and at the same time called Aria over."

"Because once Yuni's curse is lifted, Arya's curse will immediately erupt. To save one of them, we need to save them all, otherwise we will inevitably face the death of one of them."

"But the way to break the curse is..."

At that moment, Gamma understood why the Boss had rushed to the island nation.

At that moment, Gamma understood why the Boss had agreed to the Vongola's request for a marriage alliance.

But at that moment, Gamma's heart was completely shattered.

Chapter 155 Iemitsu Almost Swearing

"Uncle with blond hair, I never expected to meet you in this capacity."

The last time we met, he was still suspected of being a kidnapper.

Now, the meeting is happening in this persona as [the father].

"I used to think that at least my dad was a really handsome guy."

"It just seems like..."

"As expected, the genes from the first generation are strong enough. Fortunately, the inheritance skipped a generation."

The disdain in those words made Iemitsu's smile vanish.

"I envision myself igniting the flames of death."

A ball of deathly flames burned on his forehead.

The Dying Will Flame symbolizes the vast sky, and the eyes turn orange-yellow after entering Dying Will Mode.

Even when he's just calm, he's a slightly short but handsome young man.

Looking at his reflection on the ice, even though Tsuna wasn't particularly narcissistic, he considered himself a standard handsome young man.

"He's a handsome young man just as good-looking as I am now."

"My height is a big disadvantage now, but I can increase it in a few years."

"This image may not be enough to make countless young girls swoon, but it's at least better than the image of an older man."

After saying that, he sighed helplessly.

The ice mirror that had been condensed in mid-air dispersed as it looked at the old man sitting opposite it.

"Hey……"

"So the world really is cruel."

"If someone with your dignified appearance went out carrying a piece of candy, I wonder if the police would take them to the police station for a chat."

"Oh!"

At this moment, the veins on Iemitsu's forehead began to throb wildly.

"I was going to give you some face, you brat."

“It seems like Dad hasn’t given you loving lessons in a long time. So let’s make today our anniversary, and from now on, we’ll give you a good scolding every time we do this.”

"Tsk tsk~"

"What an indomitable old man!"

"From my perspective, it's nothing more than a fit of impotent rage. What can a middle-aged man do besides spouting empty words?"

A smile spread across Iemitsu's lips.

He ignited death flames on his forehead and punched his son.

"Didn't you eat?"

Iemitsu's pupils contracted as his fist was blocked by a single finger.

[Did this kid's strength increase to this level just from going to the future?]

“It’s not good to hit someone at home. If Mom sees you with a bruised and swollen face, she’ll feel bad.”

The surrounding scenery suddenly changed, and Iemitsu saw a hand grab his face and throw him away.

"So if we fight in a more open space, my mom won't see us."

Standing up again, Iemitsu glanced around.
