I am the protagonist

Jin Jia was so angry that she was trembling all over when she heard that sarcastic voice.

This guy is trying to torture me to death!

Having often done such things to his defeated opponents, Tsuka knew exactly how he felt at this moment.

It's like a cat chasing a mouse.

Watching the living rats struggle endlessly in his hands to survive.

Once upon a time, Jin Jia was the one playing the cat, but this time he is the mouse struggling to survive in the cat's clutches.

"heart."

Jin Jia didn't have time to think about anything else; she could only quickly protect her heart with her arms.

"Oh!"

The powerful impact sent him flying, his back slamming hard into the spider web he had woven himself.

Even with my heart protected, I felt it stop beating for a moment.

However, Jin Jia felt much better at this moment than before.

【It's now! 】

Countless spider webs descended from the sky, tightly binding Sawada Tsunayoshi and Chrome.

"Oh, that's a good idea, but you've chosen the wrong opponent."

"...Heh~ That's my opinion."

Jin Jia's eyes were unusually fierce; at this moment, he knew that his victory was just around the corner.

"Indeed, your movements are so fast that I can't keep up with them."

"The Vongola's super intuition can even easily detect my location."

"But in the end, you were still careless!"

"Hatch, Sun Spider!"

The Sun Flame within the spider web burned intensely, from which countless spiders emerged.

This scene surprised Tsunayoshi; after a large number of golden flames were ignited, the spider eggs actually hatched.

"Ha~"

Upon noticing this, Jin Jia's face broke into a wide, unrestrained smile.

"So what if you find me?"

"So what if you catch me?"

"In the end, won't the Tenth Vongola Boss still die at my hands?"

"Fast? Then I'll make you completely lose your speed advantage."

The smile on his face became increasingly unrestrained, even bordering on madness.

The countless Sun Spiders swarmed towards Sawada Tsunayoshi and Chrome, who were entangled in their webs.

"Did you make it?"

Irie, who was in the command center, also saw this scene. Surrounded by the Sun Spider, the Tenth Vongola had no chance of escaping.

But the image on the screen was torn apart the next second.

It's like a page being torn from a book.

The scene shows Jin Jia, who is laughing wildly, being pierced through the heart by a trident.

"Illusion, illusion magic!"

Irie never expected that everything she had just seen was an illusion.

Careless actions, and even Sawada Tsunayoshi's abilities from ten years ago, were all created using illusions.

[Illusions that can even fool machines—when did the Vongola ever have such a sorcerer?]

Could it be that the slowed-down scene was also an illusion?

Damn it! We've been tricked!

"Alice! Alice!"

The communication system became completely blurred.

At this moment, Irie's face was extremely ugly. He knew very well that he had fallen into the Vongola's trap.

"Lord Irie, internal communications have been disrupted."

"...I can hear you!"

Irie took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

"As expected, there are other Vongola Guardians who have infiltrated this base."

"It was the right thing to send Alice to search all the rooms in the first place... I never expected it to turn out like this."

The fighting force within the base has been dispersed.

[Tsuka's death has already demonstrated the excellence of the Vongola sorcerers.]

Alice's actions now appear to have fallen into the Vongola's trap.

Milfiore's base already had only a small number of combatants left. Now, one is dead and another has fallen into the Vongola's trap. If they continue to operate separately, the problem will really get out of hand.

The key issue is that Milfiore currently has almost no obedient subordinates!

Just thinking about this problem makes Irie feel her stomach churning.

"Have the members who are currently able to move search for the Vongola members hiding inside the base."

"If Sawada Tsunayoshi is constantly being watched, at least we can control his actions."

"Lord Irie, shall we send the Phantom Knight into action?"

"...Oh dear, now is not the time for him to make a move."

Irie really wanted the Phantom Knight to take action, but now was not the time.

“Once the Phantom Knight targets Sawada Tsunayoshi, the best-case scenario is to defeat him. However, there are two of them, and we have already seen the level of one of them as a sorcerer. If the Phantom Knight deals with him alone, we will not be able to control other areas.”

To put it simply, Irie wasn't entirely confident that Phantom Knight could handle both Vongola members by himself.

"Moreover, the fact that the other side was able to infiltrate our Milfiore base so easily suggests that Pengre has been hiding spies in our base all along."

"!?"

"Lord Irie, but this..."

"Ah, I know that's impossible under normal circumstances, but does this situation seem normal?"

Cerbero shut up at that moment.

“Our actions are all under the control of the Vongola, and they have even imposed a series of restrictions on our actions.”

"How could I not be suspicious given this situation?"

Cerberus understood why Lord Irie thought that way; in fact, they also suspected that there were indeed Pengrei spies at Milfiore's base.

The question is, what kind of spy would have the ability to gather all this intelligence?

Regardless, with spies within Milfiore's ranks, it's no longer acceptable to arbitrarily order the soldiers to act; even the orders themselves could be distorted.

This is really troublesome.

Chapter 71 A Girl Who Makes One's Heart ache

"call……"

The feeling of taking someone's life for the first time is really not good, and Chrome still couldn't calm down so quickly.

"If you can't calm down, don't force it."

Hearing the Boss's voice gradually eased Chrome's uncomfortable mood.

"I'm just a little uncomfortable, but I'll get used to it and feel comfortable."

Chrome's expression gradually began to stabilize.

Taking someone's life is extremely unpleasant, but hearing the Boss's voice made her resolve stronger once again.

"Trying to be strong is not a good habit."

Tsuna knew, of course, that Chrome was still putting on a brave face.

"If you don't adapt well, actually you..."

"Boss, I'm really fine."

Tsuna sighed, but looking at Chrome's determined eyes, he couldn't bring himself to continue speaking.

"Let's take a rest first."

"Your current condition isn't really suitable for continuing to use illusion magic."

She's such a pitiful girl.

He understood what kind of girl Chrome was just by interacting with Tsuna.

This is a girl who makes people feel sorry for her.

No one knows what he went through in the past, but Chrome keeps his distance from everyone except for him.

Tsuna knew that Chrome considered him the most important person in her life; otherwise, she wouldn't have forced herself to do things she didn't like.

"Ah."

Chrome nodded obediently and rested her head on Boss's shoulder.

The feeling of taking someone's life was truly unpleasant, but Chrome knew she needed to get used to this situation because she would be doing it again in the future.

[The boss feels so warm.]

Chrome obediently closed her eyes and rested in Boss's arms.

The safest place is by the Boss's side.

Right now, all I need is to be by the Boss's side.

Taking someone's life requires immense pressure; if one doesn't adjust their mindset in time, a normal person would break down.

Chrome is just an ordinary girl, and it's too much to ask her to accept these things.

[I was just pushing myself too hard.]

I know perfectly well I won't say anything, but I still force myself to.

Tsuna gently stroked Chrome's hair.

If only I could treat myself better.

However, Tsuna also knew that getting Chrome to do this would probably not be an easy task.

There are no conditions that would prevent Chrome from doing so.

Let's wait until ten years ago and slowly try to change Chrome's attitude.

Meanwhile, Gokudera and his group had already begun their operation.

"We could barely hear anything at first, but it seems like the troops inside have all hidden themselves."

During the operation, Yamamoto sensed that the situation at Milfiore's current base was very abnormal.

"We know we're already inside the base, so why is there still no movement?"

"Idiot, everyone's attention should be drawn to the Tenth Boss right now."

"But even if some of your attention is drawn to Tsuna, shouldn't all of it be drawn to him?"

"Yeah, weren't they just searching room by room?"

Gokudera didn't know what to say about those two idiots.

The Tenth Generation Boss's statement that one of these two is naive and the other impulsive was no exaggeration.

If these two had been left to act on their own, things would probably have gone wrong long ago.
