I am the protagonist

"You really are a child."

"???"

【What's the meaning? 】

Wasn't telling her to go early and come back early a kind thing to say?

[Wouldn't it have been better if I had just told her to drink more hot water?]

Isn't drinking hot water good for your health?

This way of speaking left Reborn, who had been holding some expectations, completely speechless.

She pulled her hat down low so no one could see her expression.

It wasn't until Arya and Yuni left Reborn by car that his face completely fell.

"Oh!"

"idiot!"

Reborn is finding it increasingly difficult to be a tutor.

Teaching Tsuna to become a qualified Vongola Boss is probably easier than getting Tsuna out of the realm of stupidity.

Tsuna has now qualified to be the Vongola Boss.

However, he is completely incapable in terms of being a man.

It could even be described as utterly stupid.

"You always waste your chances like this. No wonder you never dared to act against Kyoko in the past... You're as stupid as an idiot."

"..."

Left alone outside, Tsuna was exposed to the cold wind.

This time, however, Tsuna felt the wind was unusually cold.

What did I do wrong this time?

Tsuna had no idea what he had done wrong.

[All I told Arya was to be careful on her way back, not to focus too much on work, and to be careful not to get sick.]

Am I wrong?

Clutching the spot where Reborn had kicked him, Tsuna walked back home, speechless.

Arya sighed speechlessly as she sat back in the car in Italy.

"They really don't understand what romance is at all. Even though I've reminded them so much, nothing has changed."

Although she understood what Tsuna meant, and even knew that Tsuna was only saying it out of concern.

But sometimes hearing things like "drink more hot water" still makes her feel helpless.

"Mom, that's not what Tsunayoshi meant."

"Isn't it your older sister?"

"...I'm still not quite used to it."

It took Yuni a long time to get used to calling her mother "older sister".

It's even impossible to get used to it.

"Then I'll gradually get used to it."

"We will have plenty of time in the future."

Arya no longer worries about not having enough time; the complete lifting of the curse has given them even more time.

"Yes, it has been a long time."

With the curse lifted, Yuni felt much lighter on her shoulders, no longer worried about being bound by the curse and her own time being restricted.

"It feels so good."

"Don't worry about the curse's duration being reduced, and don't worry about being separated from your mother soon."

These days feel like a dream.

But Yuni truly experienced the feelings that ordinary girls experience.

No more worrying about parting forever from family.

Instead, they can prepare to live with their families forever.

"Now we don't have to worry about these issues anymore, but there will be a lot of things to do when we get back."

“…Yes, that’s right.”

"There's also the Vongola marriage that needs to be dealt with. Everyone in Giglio Nero must be terrified."

Yuni believes that returning to Quirionalo with her mother this time will definitely shock a lot of people.

Of course, the Vongola's marriage invitation is probably the most frightening thing right now.

After all, there had never been a case of Giglio Nero marrying out of the country before, so her and her mother's consent this time was bound to cause a great stir.

"Yes."

[Especially one person, they're probably terrified by that news by now.]

Arya believed that someone in Giglionero must have been horrified when they first heard about the arranged marriage.

Even she herself would be frightened by such a thing.

Not to mention that person.

At the base in Quirionalo, Italy.

"Why!?"

"Boss and Miss Yuni are going to arrange a marriage between them and Vongola X!?"

Gamma only learned of this news yesterday, but he only told others about it today.

The matter of the arranged marriage could not be kept secret, and Gamma took the opportunity to tell everyone directly.

As expected, the marriage alliance caused a huge uproar within Quirionero.

"Brother Gamma, what... what exactly is going on?"

Wild apes are probably the most incomprehensible of humans.

After all, he also had the memories of ten years later, and he still remembered that the person who killed him was Vongola X.

He just felt very annoyed with that person.

But this annoying brat is actually going to be married off to the Boss and Miss Yuni!?

"...Don't ask me these kinds of questions. This is something the Boss has agreed to."

"Even I can't understand why Boss would do this, and I don't want to agree with Boss making this decision."

"But this is something the boss needs to decide for himself."

Even if Gamma wanted to stop the marriage, there was nothing he could do.

Boss, you only agreed because of the curse, right?

The princess probably only agreed because of the curse.

Now Gamma can only believe that such a thing happened to convince the Boss and the princess to agree to the marriage proposal.

But the thought that the marriage was already a fait accompli made his heart ache.

"That's true, but if Boss and Miss Yuni say that, aren't they...aren't they going to end up with Vongola X?"

"Even if Miss Yuni is the right age, what about Boss?"

"...Wild ape, stop talking."

"This is the decision of the Boss and the Princess, and we cannot change your decision."

Knowing the reason, Gamma was well aware that this decision would not change.

"Besides, the Vongola have already sent the betrothal gifts and even decided on the engagement. There's nothing we can do to change it... Let's just wait for the Boss and the princess to come back."

Chapter 163 The Light of Thunder Flame Was Bright

Why Sawada Tsunayoshi of all people...?

Since yesterday, Gamma has been thinking about this question many times.

Gama couldn't stand Sawada Tsunayoshi no matter what he looked at.

Gamma was particularly upset after learning that Sawada Tsunayoshi had done some of the worst things to the Boss and the Princess.

It was only a day or two, but for Gamma it felt like a year or two.

Because Gamma knew that his dream was completely shattered.

Because Gamma knew that his unrequited love was truly just an eternal unrequited love.

Even if the Boss is no longer cursed, the current Boss will no longer have any connection with him.

"Brother Gamma."

"Wild ape?"

“Brother Gamma, we all know you’re in a bad mood.”

"...There's nothing wrong with it. Perhaps this is the best outcome for both the Boss and the Princess."

However, her words still revealed her sorrow. Even if Gamma said she didn't care, she must still be hurting inside.

"Brother Gamma, Boss and Miss Yuni suddenly... is something wrong inside?"

"..."

"Brother Gamma."

Gamma sighed and told him what had happened.

"You should know that both the Boss and the Princess are cursed, right?"

"Hmm, everyone knows that... Could it be because of that curse!?"

"Although we don't know the cause yet, it's likely due to the curse on the Boss and the Princess."

When Gamma went to Japan before, he heard Mr. Reborn talk about Sawada Tsunayoshi breaking the curse on the Boss and the Princess.

Gamma had previously thought it was a rather complicated ritual.

I should have just charged in.

He now deeply regrets not rushing forward.

If we had rushed forward then, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.

But it's too late to say anything now.

The Vongola have already begun their operation, and some things are already set in stone and cannot be changed.

"Could it be that bastard Sawada Tsunayoshi is using this as leverage?"

Gamma doesn't actually think so.

He had a certain understanding of Sawada Tsunayoshi, and he knew what kind of person Sawada Tsunayoshi would be ten years later.

Sawada Tsunayoshi wouldn't go so far as to threaten the Boss and the princess.

"It's not a threat. Boss isn't the kind of person who would accept a threat."

"This incident may have happened rather suddenly, or it may even be due to an accident that led to the current situation."

"Brother Gamma, do you believe such a thing?"

Gamma dejectedly raised his head.

Do you think it's still meaningful to discuss this issue now?

"Boss must have known this would happen, and her lack of objection is tantamount to acquiescing... In other words, this is Boss's decision, can we refuse?"

Looking at the dejected Gamma, Wild Ape knew that Gamma was at his most vulnerable right now.
