I am the protagonist

Furthermore, Gamma himself would also be trapped in permanent suffering...

The last sentence is the biggest reason why Arya deliberately kept her distance from Gamma.

Chapter 165 The New Transfer Student at Namimori Middle School

Namimori Junior High School in the island nation also welcomed many new transfer students today.

The members of the Simon family, who are also the new members of Namimori, were walking together silently on the road today.

(...Curie's recent behavior is very strange.)

Since that day, Adebayo has noticed something very strange about Curie.

Even if it looks like the original Curie, a careful observation will reveal that the recent Curie is becoming less and less like the Curie of the past.

(Regarding his actions? I feel that guy is much more aggressive than I imagined.)

(And it seems that guy has discovered something; I've noticed a significant change in his mood when I take off my glasses recently.)

This wasn't an isolated incident; even Aoba and Momiji discovered the same problem.

(Especially after the Xth Vongola came that day, he acted like he'd discovered something as soon as he got home.)

In the past, it would have been impossible to notice such a momentary change, but this time Aoba and Koyo noticed it because they had made preparations in advance.

(The Curie of the past wouldn't have had such keen observation skills; she would have said it immediately, but that guy said nothing.)

Everyone knows this perfectly well.

The reaction to Curie was like this, and everyone already understood one thing.

[Perhaps things really are as Vongola X said: Curie's body has been taken over by someone else.]

Moreover, the person who seized Curie's body was the very person behind the Simon family's tragic fate.

Everyone remained remarkably calm upon receiving this answer. Even Aoba and Koyo, who were usually loud and boisterous, showed no change in their calm expressions.

Their different circumstances have led them to face all sorts of situations.

They cannot show their anger on their faces or in their actions.

(Enma, try to get to know Vongola X more often.)

(We, the Simon family, are not a bunch of fools. We don't want to be controlled by a madman who caused our family's current predicament to do foolish things.)

Ed Haiti's eyes were icy cold at that moment.

To this day, she finds it hard to believe that Curie's body was taken away by someone else.

But now she has to believe that things have really gotten this bad.

However, she is still suppressing her anger.

Once she realized that Curie was in trouble, or even that danger was close at hand, she believed what Vongola X had said at the time.

[It seems the conflict between the Simon family and the Vongola family may have originated here.]

After Vongola X arrived, Edheidi also focused on investigating the Blood Flood incident.

That thing was really abnormal.

Many things seem so logical, yet many illogical aspects have emerged.

The biggest question is why the Vongola would target the Simon family, which has already fallen into ruin and become marginalized?

That's the crux of the problem.

Ed Heidi investigated all the previous Vongola data and found that during that period, Vongola was steadily developing internally, rather than engaging in internal wars. In fact, the internal wars had already stopped long ago.

Although the Simon family is not a member of the Vongola family, they are allies of the Vongola.

Although they are only peripheral allies.

But precisely because of this, the Vongola family has even less reason to target the Simon family.

Therefore, there must have been other people involved, otherwise the bloodbath would never have happened.

[It is highly likely that Curie's body is now under control.]

Did the same thing happen back then?

It's hard for Ed Heidi to say for sure, but she believes this is definitely not the first time something like this has happened.

What secrets does the past, as told by the Tenth Vongola, hold?

Now, Ed Haiti desperately wants to know everything that happened in the past.

But now is not the time to know everything; what we need to do now is wait.

At this moment, Yan's feelings were also very complicated.

Curie... I never imagined that none of us realized you were someone else.

[We grew up together, so why didn't I notice?]

The fact that he didn't discover immediately that Curie had already been occupied by someone else had a significant impact on him.

But what affected him even more was that Tsunayoshi knew immediately that he wasn't a member of the Simon family.

To make matters worse, after Tsunayoshi's reminder, they also discovered something strange about Curie.

This is truly ironic.

Of course, Enma's feelings for Sawada Tsunayoshi are still quite complicated.

He already knew in his heart that the Vongola were not the murderers of his parents and sister, but rather that someone was hiding behind the scenes and had always wanted to put the Simon family and Sawada Tsunayoshi to death.

The reason given made him want to laugh just thinking about it.

Because of Simon I's gentleness, because of the gentleness of Vongola I, and even because of this, the Simon family of this era and a boy with the same fate as him were implicated.

Perhaps the Vongola I wasn't part of a family's decline, but the man who ushered in a new era for Vongola was kicked out of the family by his own guardian, which is just as tragic as, or even more tragic than, a family's decline.

It wasn't the decline of the family, but rather being kicked out of the family by its own members.

The former Vongola I has actually chosen to retire from the Vongola stage, even though he was the one who built that stage.

For Sawada Tsunayoshi, the achievements of the first Vongola were not an honor, but rather a disgrace.

The original creators were kicked out, and now, due to a bloodline issue, they are being sought after again by the creators' bloodline. It has to be said that this is both ironic and shameful.

This is a disgrace to Sawada Tsunayoshi.

But it is precisely because of this that Enma has a stronger resonance.

Because he was just like Sawada Tsunayoshi, he also felt that sense of shame at that moment.

That kind of feeling of being played for a fool.

The shame of having one's entire family wiped out for such a ridiculous reason!

(Edheti, keep a close eye on things with Curie.)

(Regardless of who has taken over Curie's body, there is only one thing we need to do.)

(Find out what happened back then and expose the bastard who took over Curie's body!)

At that moment, everyone in the Simon family glanced at Yan Zhen.

Although Yan Zhen usually seems like someone who's easily bullied, when something really happens, Yan Zhen is more suitable than anyone else to represent the Simon family.

And this was naturally the moment when Enma became completely enraged.

Chapter 166 Going to School with Chrome

"Hmm, Chrome would look good in Namimori Middle School's uniform too."

This time, the new transfer students at Namimori Middle School weren't just from the Simon family; even Chrome officially transferred from Kokuyo Middle School to Namimori Middle School.

Today, before leaving home, Chrome changed into her new school uniform.

"If the boss thinks it's good, then it's good."

Chrome never cared what the school uniforms actually looked like.

Of course, receiving praise from the Boss for his school uniform made Kuroku very happy.

"Some things you need to decide for yourself; don't always try to make me decide."

Seeing Chrome's completely indifferent expression, Tsuna knew that his words had been in vain, and helplessly patted her head.

"It's too difficult for you to change this, so I'll give up on correcting your personality for now."

"Hmm~"

Chrome nodded happily.

"Are you ready?"

"Ah."

"Then let's go."

However, this relationship left Iemitsu and Nana, who were at home, somewhat confused.

After his son left the house, Iemitsu looked at his wife.

"Nana, what do you think is the relationship between Tsuna and Chrome?"

"What do you say?"

"Isn't it good that Tsuna gets another girl to like him for no reason?"

As a mother, she was happy that her son was liked by many girls.

“In the past, Xiao Gang never had a girl he liked, and I was really worried about what he would do in the future.”

"But now it's all good, I don't have to worry about this anymore."

Iemitsu glanced at his wife speechlessly.

[Sure enough, my son and husband are treated differently.]

Iemitsu believed that if he were to reveal his desire to have a mistress, his wife would definitely turn evil.

But this kind of thing becomes perfectly natural when it happens to one's own son.

That kid certainly doesn't need to worry about his future now. King IX has already personally gone to Giglionero to discuss the marriage alliance, and Arya probably won't refuse.

[But besides Arya, we also need to add Yuni.]

Although they aren't actually mother and daughter in this current timeline, ultimately, those two are indeed mother and daughter.

Iemitsu was very pleased that his son had found his direction for the future.

Arya and Yuni weren't bad people, but as a father-in-law, he always felt a little awkward about it.

[It hasn't even been a few days since what happened with Aria and Yuni, and Tsuna is still so close to his Guardians...]

The thought that Chrome had spent the night in his son's room last night was unbearable.

You know, Arya and Yuni were both in that room yesterday. Even Iemitsu was worried that there might be bloodshed at home yesterday.

[Nothing interesting happened when the wife met the mistress.]

Is it because Arya and Yuni's health isn't very good?

Although worried that something might have happened to his son, Iemitsu was also eager to see if such a thing would happen to his son.

"...Iemitsu, you wouldn't have such thoughts, would you?"

The sound suddenly made Iemitsu tremble all over.

His wife, who used to call him "Dad" or "Darling," suddenly called him by his name.

【Oops! 】

"how can that be possible!"

“I usually spend all my time working, I don’t have time to think about those kinds of things!”

"Besides, my beloved wife is waiting for me at home, how could I possibly think about other people?"

Nana turned around with a smile.

"Yes, I knew Dad would be like that."

But that turn of the head really made Iemitsu feel a chill run down his neck.
