I am the protagonist

[When did Tsuna become so terrifying?]

Could it be that losing one's memory also has the effect of unleashing one's true nature?

[No, no, no, "liberating one's true nature" just means that Tsuna's personality is inherently like this, right?]

"How could that be! How could Tsuna have such a nature?"

"Oh!"

"idiot!"

Lowering his hat slightly, Reborn silently kicked the overthinking idiot.

"Don't dwell on things that don't concern you."

Dino, who was being trampled on the ground again, regained some clarity of mind.

Uh, why would I think about something like that?

[It's definitely a problem with this era; Bai Lan has created this situation, making us all start to overthink things.]

The changing times have made Dino think more than he used to.

This overthinking isn't due to extreme ideas, but rather because this terrible era forces them to overthink.

After calming down, Dino's mind cleared up.

Even if he lost his memory, Reborn has always been by Tsuna's side. Doesn't he know about what happened to him?

Perhaps he himself was unreliable, but Dino trusted Reborn completely.

Because Reborn is really reliable.

"Tsuna, I'm sorry, maybe I've been overthinking things lately."

Tsuna just smiled and didn't seem to care much.

"Times are different. In peaceful times, there's no need to think about these messy things, but it's different in this turbulent era."

"This kind of era forces people to think more deeply, which is also a survival instinct."

"It's not wrong for a golden retriever to think a lot. If you didn't think so much, you would probably have died countless times by now."

Dino scratched his face, looking a little embarrassed.

Let's not talk about these things for now.

"That Sky Lion must have come out of the Vongola Box."

"right."

Tsuna cupped the little lion's face in his hands, and even he thought the little guy's raised chubby paws were adorable, and could definitely be kept as a mascot.

“Actually, this child should have been released a week ago.”

"At the time, I was busy with my own training and accompanying Chrome in her training, so I temporarily forgot about the child."

If the lion cub had been released earlier, it wouldn't be so excited today.

"...No wonder this lion is so excited."

Just as Dino was about to take a few steps closer, he saw the little lion raise its head.

Has that claw gotten longer?

At this moment, Dino regretted having such amazing observational skills.

Now that he saw it, he didn't dare to walk forward anymore.

"Humph!"

The little lion snorted and continued to enjoy its owner pinching its cheeks with its eyes closed.

If this person continues to get closer to its owner, it wouldn't mind giving the other person another profound memory.

"So what brings you here this time?"

"...The battle in Italy is over, and Milfiore has stopped attacking other family territories. I have time to come and check on the situation here."

"Moreover, no matter what battles are fought elsewhere, they cannot withstand Milfiore in the long run. In the end, it is your side that will decide the fate of this era."

When it came to serious matters, Dino became serious as well.

"We are currently deploying all our personnel for defense."

“Milfiore has halted one invasion offensive, but that doesn’t mean they will never continue to invade. We need to keep an eye on things.”

Now all areas need to be defended.

Milfiore's decision not to take action was only temporary, because the battle between Byakuran and Tsuna was about to begin, which was the main reason Milfiore halted all regional operations.

It can be said that this battle between Byakuran and Tsuna determined the fate of an entire era.

If Tsuna defeats Byakuran, then everything in this era will come to an end.

All the anomalies brought about by Bai Lan in the past will be wiped out at once.

Because of this, all the families that Milfiore has his eye on are now paying close attention to the situation here.

Chapter 103 Sparring between fellow disciples

"Tsuna, did you make some kind of agreement with Byakuran this time? He's actually willing to stop targeting other families."

Given Byakuran's past actions, this current behavior is clearly inconsistent with her character.

Even if we are preparing for a battle with Tsuna and his group, there is no need to stop the annexation of other families.

They even said that doing so would make it easier to annex other families.

“Now, no family in the world can withstand Milfiore’s overwhelming human onslaught. If Byakuran continues to annex other families as he has in the past, even the Vongola will not be able to hold out for long.”

"So you believe that it was because Bai Lan and I made a pact that stopped the wars between the other families?"

"Is not it?"

Tsuna shook his head.

"It's not that Bai Lan doesn't want to do it anymore, but that Bai Lan and I both know that there's no need to do it anymore."

"He no longer cares about the affairs of this world; he only wants to focus on the game with me."

"This, this is..."

Dino looked down and saw the Vongola ring.

"Could it be because of the Vongola Ring?"

"Byakuran wanted the Vongola rings, so he temporarily gave up on annexing the other families?"

Unfortunately, that's not the case.

Tsuna still denied this claim.

"My battle with Byakuran was not wagered on the terms of our rings."

"This is just a battle between me and Byakuran, and it will be our last game in this era."

"I will play the last game with him, and I will accompany him through the last moments of his life."

"And then we met again in the world of ten years ago."

【Wh, what's going on?】

The topic suddenly went too far, leaving Dino somewhat unable to understand what Tsuna was saying.

"Simply put, in this game I will kill Byakuran of this era."

"Kill, kill Bai Lan!?"

"Is this...is something that can be done so easily?"

"Tsuna, calm down."

Dino now felt that Tsuna had definitely lost his usual composure, otherwise why would he say something like "kill Byakuran"?

"Bai Lan is not an easy person to deal with. This may be the war between you and Bai Lan, and the closest you have ever come to him, but killing him will not be easy."

"If Bai Lan hadn't made some preparations, he wouldn't have appeared in front of you so easily. It's naive to think that he's easy to assassinate just because he appears alone like this."

"That guy is definitely not a simple person. If he were so easy to kill, he would have been killed by assassins long ago."

No one knows just how strong Byakuran's true combat abilities are right now.

Bai Lan, who has absolutely no clues, is the most troublesome.

He has always avoided taking action himself, which is why almost no one knows his true strength now.

...Therefore, this kind of white orchid is the most troublesome.

"I know."

"You know? You know and you still say such things?"

"Heh~ That's why I'm saying this, because I know it."

Dino was even more speechless when he saw Tsuna laughing.

Knowing that Byakuran is not easy to deal with, why would you say you'd kill Byakuran this time? Is this the thinking of a normal person? This doesn't seem like a normal way of thinking at all.

"The reason is quite simple."

"Because I am stronger than Bai Lan."

It's a very simple principle, and it's also the most practical principle in this era.

"..."

Dino was also taken aback by this reason.

He looked at Tsuna helplessly.

Although Tsuna's strength has improved a lot, he still doesn't think that the current Tsuna can defeat Byakuran.

"Tsuna, I know you've become stronger than before, even stronger than you are in this era, but I still don't think you can fight Byakuran."

Seeing that Tsuna still didn't take it seriously, he knew he needed to explain the importance of strength to his junior brother.

"Tsuna, since you feel confident in fighting Byakuran, then come and fight me."

"Even if I am not as strong as Byakuran, if you can't even beat me, you won't be a match for Byakuran either."

Dino is now prepared to help Tsuna understand the definition of strength.

Regardless, he didn't believe Tsuna could stand up to Byakuran; at least in the current situation, no one knew where Byakuran's bottom line lay.

"Really? Then I have no objection."

"Reborn, is it alright if we don't kill him?"

"Ah, do whatever you want as long as you don't kill him."

"???"

Dino's consciousness paused for a moment, then mechanically turned to his former teacher and clearly caught the ill intent on the teacher's face.

Have I been tricked?

Dino had no room for other ideas, because the game had already been announced to have begun.

"Senior Brother Golden Hair, I will go easy on you."

[These are my lines, right...]

But for some reason, a bad feeling in Dino's heart made him unable to say anything.

Tsuna's attitude led Dino to believe it was an arrogant display of power.

But Reiborn's attitude gave Dino a really bad feeling, a feeling that left him speechless.

"Ready?"

Dino's eyes blurred.

"Then I'll start."

Tsuna, who was ten meters away, appeared in front of him in an instant.

[So fast! ? ]
