I am the protagonist

After quickly finishing breakfast, Xiaochun grabbed her schoolbag and prepared to go to school.

"Then I'll leave first!"

Miura's father, who was left at home, sighed.

"This child's situation is probably because of a boy."

Chapter 168 The First Day at Namimori Middle School

"Chrome, is there anything you're not used to?"

"...This should be my line, Boss. You've lost all your past memories, so you must be feeling quite out of sorts now."

"No, it's nothing special, it feels quite ordinary."

Upon arriving at Namimori Tsunayoshi's place, he didn't feel any discomfort. If there was anything, it was that stepping back into the space of a junior high school student felt a little unbelievable.

I never imagined I'd find myself back in the world of middle school.

Time travel is truly a magical experience.

Having already reached adulthood, he has officially entered society, but it is precisely because of this entry into society that he understands the vast difference between students and adults.

During your student years, all you need to do is learn what you're supposed to learn.

But once you become an adult, there are more things to consider than just these.

Work, partner, marriage, family, and the future are just a few of the many things that need to be considered.

Only after becoming an adult can one truly appreciate the ease and joy of student life.

No wonder many people say that when they are children, they especially want to grow up and become adults quickly.

But it's only after becoming an adult that you truly miss your childhood.

Tsunayoshi now fully understands the meaning of that sentence.

Looking back now, my junior high and high school years really feel like a gray, bleak period of my life.

[This is completely unlike the colorful beginnings of other students' lives.]

[He doesn't have a girlfriend, doesn't go to bars, and has never even been to any entertainment venues.]

Looking back now, it seems like I spent most of my time at home, mostly in front of the computer and television.

"Boss, are you alright?"

"...Well, it's nothing serious."

Putting the past aside, Tsuna refocused his consciousness on the present.

"By the way, my class should be Class 2-A, right?"

"Kurom, you should have been assigned to that class by now."

"Ah."

"Let's go then, I also want to see my old class."

Because it was early in the morning, there weren't many people sitting in the classroom yet, and Tsuna noticed a lot of people staring at him when he walked in.

[It's really quite ordinary.]

[It's not really anything strange. Reborn told me that I used to be a very ordinary person, and the school I attended wasn't anything special either.]

"Hey! Sawada, you've finally come to school."

[A very ordinary junior high school student, but he didn't seem to have any malicious intent.]

Tsuna glanced at the other person and had already marked them in his mind.

"Yes, a few things happened, and I stayed in the hospital for a while."

"Hospital...you weren't bullied by someone outside the school, were you?"

"Well, even though you often get bullied at school, you should be able to call the police if the bullying goes to the hospital."

Was I often bullied in the past?

Tsuna frowned slightly.

He has a certain understanding of his past self, and from his initial attributes, it is clear that he was definitely not a very capable person in the past.

But for someone who used to be frequently bullied, this was a bit beyond his imagination.

This is really unexpected. I never imagined I used to be someone who was often bullied.

Is it because she looks particularly weak that she's always being bullied?

[...This can be seen from their physical abilities.]

People who are bullied are generally more introverted and less articulate.

Often, people are bullied because they are not good at speaking.

However, this kind of bullying problem exists in every world.

Tsuna sighed helplessly.

He now has a clearer understanding of what kind of person he was in the past.

She is introverted, not good at speaking, and has poor physical abilities, so she is often bullied by people at school and outside of school.

"It wasn't bullying, it was just something like a car accident."

"Car accident!?"

The mention of a car accident startled the boy. He only breathed a sigh of relief after taking a closer look at Sawada.

"You're really lucky. You recovered from the car accident in just over a month. Usually, it takes much longer to recover from a car accident."

"However, given your current situation, it's best for you to stick with Yamamoto and Gokudera, otherwise you'll definitely get bullied by some of the school's thugs."

As a classmate, the boy gave Sawada a hint.

After all, he had just recovered from a car accident. If he were bullied by some thugs on campus, it might take him even longer to recover. However, as long as Sawada and Gokudera were together, the risk of being bullied would be much lower.

Gokudera and Yamamoto are considered the strongest fighters in their class, and they are famous throughout Namimori.

Those thugs who try to bully them are probably asking for trouble.

But bullying Sawada... those thugs really dare to do it.

A cold glint flashed in Chrome's eyes.

"Well, I see."

Tsuna wasn't too bothered by being bullied. If those thugs really dared to do that, he wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson.

(Boss...)

(Chrome, do you think I'll be bullied?)

Chrome paused for a moment, then shook her head.

(I don't think the Boss will be bullied.)

(So, you don't need to think about those unrealistic things.)

(However, if this time the other party comes to us on their own initiative, then let's wipe out all the scum in this school.)

Tsuna wouldn't be polite to those scum who come knocking on his door.

If you dare to do it, you must take responsibility for it.

If you dare to bully others, then you should be prepared to end up in the hospital.

(Yes, Boss.)

Tsuna returned to his seat.

Chrome, carrying her schoolbag, sat down directly next to Tsuna.

"Speaking of which, Sawada, who is this girl next to you?"

The boy found the girl next to Sawada very unfamiliar; if she were a girl from the same class, she certainly wouldn't look so unfamiliar.

Is this person the transfer student?

[Hmm~ She seems to have a good relationship with Sawada.]

It's rare to see any girl in class who's close to Sawada.

Today was the first time he had seen Sawada and this girl get along so well.

Good morning, Xiao Gang.

Before the boy could get an answer, he was completely stunned.

He saw the most popular girl in the class greet Sawada, and her happy expression was completely unlike her usual friendly demeanor; it was clearly a very special way of addressing her.

Good morning, Kyoko.

This calm response also stunned the boy.

Is this the usual Sawada?

The boy remembered that Sawada always seemed very nervous when talking to Sasagawa, but why was Sawada so calm today?

Chapter 169 Gossip about Sawada

"Xiao Gang, didn't you say you were going to come find me after you got back?"

"Hey?"

Tsuna confirmed that he had said this, but not to Kyoko of this era; rather, he said it to Kyoko of the era ten years later, when that era had completely collapsed.

It seems that those who participated in that battle have gained memories from ten years into the future.

Tsuna scratched his cheek helplessly.

"There's nothing I can do about it. I've run into a lot of things since I came back."

"As you should know, I also have a lot of things to take care of."

"Hmm~"

Kyoko wasn't unaware that Tsuna had a lot of things to deal with. After all, Tsuna was destined to become the Vongola X in the future, so his return now meant he had a lot to handle.

"I know."

"So I forgive you."

His mischievous behavior left the boys in his class completely stunned.

【W-What's going on?!】

When did Sawada and Sasagawa start having this kind of relationship?

I had already sensed something was off during the conversation.

[Sasagawa is actually acting cute towards Sawada!?]

[She even said she had arranged for Sawada to come to her!]

Have Sawada and Sasagawa gotten so close that they've already arranged to meet up?

"Mr. Tsuna!"

Just then, a shadow suddenly pounced on Sawada.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a girl, and one who was just as beautiful as Sasakawa at first glance.
