I am the protagonist

Reborn glanced back at the door, then turned back with a smile on his face.

That idiot Tsuna has grown quite a bit.

Although I don't know if you can succeed, let me see how far you can grow.

Seeing their students grow is the happiest thing for a teacher.

As an assassin, Reborn had long since become indifferent to death.

However, as an assassin, Reborn wanted to see just how far Tsuna could grow.

Everything is proceeding smoothly.

The treatment of Yuni's body is also progressing smoothly and slowly.

The slow progress is due to Tsuna's inability to control his emotions, but with each step and each success, the project on Yuni is nearing completion.

It was Yuni who spent a week strengthening his sense of shame.

At least after confirming that Mr. Sawada was indeed blind, I was able to control my heartbeat.

She didn't want her rapid heartbeat to affect Mr. Sawada's work.

I don't want my heart to beat too fast, so that if I lose control, I might not be able to continue for the whole day.

Chapter 126 Uni's Complex Emotions

Tsunayoshi was still very tired after a week of continuous work, and it wasn't physical fatigue, but mental fatigue.

The fact that Tsuna had been controlling time for so long was due to his focused preparations.

After all, this is to ensure Yuni's safety, so all kinds of measures need to be prepared very thoroughly.

Even if he has some predictions about things, once such things happen in a person's body, many predictions are useless or even unreliable.

The breakdown of the body cannot be measured in minutes.

For the body, the collapse may have already begun in just a moment.

So what Tsunayoshi is seizing is that fleeting moment.

Because he needed to grasp that one fleeting moment, he had to make a lot of preparations in advance; otherwise, Yuni's life would not have been safe, and the curse would not have been able to disappear automatically in that instant.

Of course, it would be great if there were an easier way to remove the curse.

Unfortunately, this method is not in Tsunayoshi's hands.

Yesterday, Tsuna finally finished all his work on Yuni, and he also took advantage of the time to get a good rest in his room.

...Of course, he rested with Chrome sleeping on his lap.

"It's the same as usual."

Yuni arrived at this room early in the morning.

She had seen this scene many times before, and each time she saw it, she felt something different.

Initially shocked, but gradually came to understand and grew accustomed to the scene.

But recently she seems to have some other emotions.

envious.

Chrome is only this relaxed in front of Sawada-san; she's always tense around everyone else.

[Sawada-san, it's only when he's with Chrome that he can appear so at ease.]

Yuni was very envious of the relationship between the two people who could understand each other without words.

They're like family.

They can understand each other without needing too much language.

Sometimes, only family members can rely on each other.

Chrome and Mr. Sawada have already come to regard each other as family.

【so good. 】

This relationship is really good.

Yuni was actually looking forward to this moment coming to her.

She has some impressions of her mother, but those are all memories from when she was a child.

The curse of our race has inevitably brought us all to this end.

【but……】

Yuni looked at Mr. Sawada's sleeping profile.

Perhaps this time, Mr. Sawada can completely change the fate of our clan.

I don't want my future to be one where I only give birth to the next generation but can't raise her.

I didn't want my mother to end her life so soon.

However, their clan, burdened by the destiny of the Great Sky, has always shared this fate.

Thirty years old?

More often than not, they die before they even reach thirty.

Therefore, their clan has always had the next generation around the age of twenty, in order to continue the fate of their clan as much as possible.

Because their race exists to protect the world.

But who would want to protect this world?

If it weren't for fate, no one would want their life to be less than thirty years long.

Her mother died carrying the fate of the Great Sky.

And now she is burdened with the same fate.

Yuni desperately wished she could escape this curse of premature death.

She truly didn't want her future daughter to bear the same fate as her, but rather to be able to choose her own future.

Perhaps this idea is truly just wishful thinking.

But now, Mr. Sawada has actually done it.

Yuni's feelings were also complicated when she thought about what Mr. Sawada was doing.

She should actually hate Mr. Sawada.

Because she saw the death of Gamma, and also the deaths of the wild ape and the great ape.

However, their opposing positions had already determined their fates.

Yuni knew that this was the arrangement of everyone's fate, and also caused by the different circumstances.

Therefore, she understood that she couldn't blame Mr. Sawada.

Just like Mr. Sawada now, after learning about certain things, he is doing his best to save her.

Therefore, her feelings towards Mr. Sawada are very complicated now.

There is gratitude.

There was some resentment.

I even like it a little bit.

Yes, Yuni is not someone who is incapable of recognizing her own feelings.

This is also a unique ability of their clan... Of course, rather than calling it an ability, it should be said that when passing on their legacy to the next generation, they must have the ability to face their own emotions directly, otherwise, why would they casually entrust themselves to someone without feelings?

It is precisely because of her feelings that Yuni has such complicated emotions.

...Well, seeing Chrome sleeping on Sawada-san's lap like this, and even knowing that they're like this all the time, is one of the reasons for my complicated feelings.

"Mr. Sawada."

"Mr. Sawada."

Tsuna slowly opened his eyes.

I was still half asleep...

Normally, even when sleeping, I would maintain a certain level of vigilance.

I adjusted my mindset and looked at Yuni in front of me.

"Hmm~ Yuni, your outfit looks good today."

Yuni blushed when she heard about the clothes.

“Mr. Sawada, yesterday… is over.”

"Ugh... I'm already feeling a bit groggy."

[...the aftereffects of working non-stop for a week.]

Now, whenever I see Yuni, I instinctively think of her clothes.

Although Tsuna knew that he always covered his eyes when doing his homework, he was absolutely certain that he could not see any images, and even his premonitions were blocked.

Therefore, before each assignment, Tsuna would unconsciously pay attention to what Yuni was wearing.

Even if Tsunayoshi blocks his sight, he doesn't block his hearing.

Because of this, he could hear many different styles of clothes being put on and taken off in front of him almost every day... Although he could no longer see, his hearing seemed to be particularly enhanced.

I can always hear things I shouldn't hear.

"Chrome, wake up."

"Um……"

"Good morning, Boss."

"It's time to get up."

Tsunayoshi didn't let her stay in bed any longer.

"Um……"

Chrome sat up abruptly, straightened his slightly disheveled clothes, and greeted Miss Uni.

"Miss Yuni, are you here to do your homework today too?"

"...That was already over yesterday."

"……what."

Chrome then remembered that her homework was finally finished last night.

"Miss Yuni, I'll go back to my room to prepare now."

Chapter 127 Each of Their Own Battles

"Okay~ then I'll get up and get ready too."

After stretching his body a bit, Tsunayoshi prepared to go to the bathroom for a good bath and sort out what had happened these past few days.

"Mr. Sawada, please wait a moment."

Yuni took a set of clothes out of the bag.

"These clothes were made by Uncle Reborn's pet, Len Tudes, and they have a strong protective ability against the flames of death."

"...Leon, it seems to be a chameleon."

"I won't even mention that a chameleon can spin silk, but if you want to make a whole outfit... is that chameleon okay?"

"Well, it doesn't matter. Uncle Reborn possesses the Sun Flame, so it doesn't really affect Leon."

"I thought Reborn wouldn't use the Death Flame."

It wasn't a secret to Tsuna that Reborn possessed the Flame of Sunshine, but he had never seen Reborn use the Dying Will Flame before.

“After all, Leon didn’t just have one suit made this time, but for everyone. If Uncle Reborn hadn’t helped with that, Leon wouldn’t have been able to finish it in a week.”

"Everyone's clothes..."

Tsuna could imagine how much suffering that chameleon must have endured over the past week.
