I am the protagonist

My fate and Yuni's fate don't lie with you, but with a fourteen-year-old boy.

Perhaps this is what I said before... this is the destiny of our race.

Chapter 143 Bai Lan's Schadenfreude

"..."

Upon hearing Reborn's report early in the morning, the IX felt a sharp pain in his head.

"Reborn, what did you just say? I think I'm hallucinating."

“The boss of Giglionero, Arya, had a relationship with her future daughter, Yuni, and Tsuna.”

[…Aria, the successor to the Sky Pacifier, had a relationship with Tsuna?]

How did those two people develop this relationship?

I heard Reborn say they just got back yesterday, how come they've already caused this kind of trouble?

"Didn't you just come back from the future?"

"Tsunayoshi... does he have a great need for this?"

Reborn's expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

He didn't seem to have noticed before that Ninth Prince had become so unreliable.

"It's for some other reasons."

"The curse on Arya and Yuni..."

"!"

This topic made the Ninth Prince frown.

The mere mention of the word "curse" was enough for him to realize that the subsequent topics would likely involve much more.

"It seems this matter involves quite a few troublesome issues."

"Yes, it's a much bigger problem than anyone imagined."

"So, how is Tsunayoshi doing?"

"Tsuna's memories are indeed missing... but he still passed the ritual and gained the approval of the first lifetime."

The Ninth Prince's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

This was probably the only thing he heard that made him happy all day.

"At the same time, Ichi also broke the seal on the Vongola Rings, allowing them to return to their original form."

"...Is that really how it is?"

The Ninth Prince wasn't surprised by this topic; he had also undergone that trial and had deduced some of the circumstances.

However, he gained the approval of all the other bosses except for the first one, but not the first one.

“Starting with the Second Vongola, the Vongola's ideology began to deviate significantly.”

"From that time onwards, the first generation did not acknowledge any of the Vongola Bosses. Unexpectedly, he only recognized Tsunayoshi's identity as the tenth generation."

"As expected, Ichise also hopes that Tsunayoshi will completely destroy the Vongola."

"...I think so too."

Reborn knew Ichisei's thoughts from the very first answer he heard from Tsuna.

His subsequent conversation with Tsuna further confirmed this.

"In that case, it's time for Tsunayoshi to inherit that position."

The Ninth Emperor had already made preparations in this regard.

Perhaps only Tsunayoshi, who inherited the Vongola, can guide it back to the right path.

Otherwise, why did no one else acknowledge him in the first lifetime, except for Tsunayoshi?

[Is the first Vongola? Did you foresee the future of the Vongola back then?]

That's why you refuse to acknowledge anyone else, except your future descendants.

"Ling ring ring~"

Jiu Shi knew at a glance where the call came from.

"what's up?"

[Boss, someone has broken into the prison.]

"what?"

Jiu Shi really couldn't understand why that prison had been so easily broken into.

Of course, what he didn't understand even more was why the people on the other side would call him.

"Who is it?"

Boss, that person... looks like Sawada Tsunayoshi.

"Tsuna...broke into the prison?"

The Ninth Prince was even more bewildered.

Although the prison was located near the island nation, it was a rather secluded place, and it held some very troublesome individuals.

How did Tsuna know about that place?

This was the Ninth Generation's first thought.

Whom did Tsuna go to the prison to see?

This was the Ninth's second idea.

The fact that Tsuna was able to find that prison and carry out the intrusion clearly indicates that he went into the prison to see someone.

"Transmit the image over."

【Yes. 】

Soon, the television in the room showed footage from the prison's surveillance cameras, and even the sound came on.

Over there in the prison.

"Coming so soon?"

Bai Lan, who had been lying listlessly in bed, suddenly sat up.

"I thought you would wait until you had taken care of everything outside before coming over."

"Tsunayoshi."

"Do you think I came here without handling things properly?"

Tsuna walked into the cell and sat on the dilapidated bench inside.

"And then? What happened to Yuni-chan's curse?"

"...It's much more troublesome than I imagined."

“Yuni’s curse does not come from external sources, but from the inheritance of his bloodline.”

"Although I stopped Yuni's time at the moment the pacifier broke, her bloodline was still strong enough to erupt."

Bai Lan raised an eyebrow, but wasn't particularly worried.

"And then? Didn't you resolve that before coming over?"

"You make it sound so easy... I don't want to talk about that matter anymore, it just gives me a headache."

"Ok?"

It sounds like something interesting has happened.

Byakuran immediately noticed that Tsuna had the presence of other people on him.

The corners of his mouth curled up.

"Oh my~ Tsunayoshi, you actually had some interesting things happen between you and Yuni-chan."

"That's a crime! You know Yuni-chan isn't even an adult yet~"

Tsuna's face darkened.

"Go to hell! I'm not as bad as you. If it weren't for me... never mind, that's why I didn't initially think that Yuni and Arya had a bloodline curse."

"Oh dear~ it looks like there's more than one~"

“Aria… seems to be the successor of the previous generation of Sky Pacifier.”

"Tsk tsk~ Tsunayoshi, I didn't expect you to do such a terrible thing when you look so good."

This discovery brought a smile to Bai Lan's face.

Watching others make a fool of themselves is much more interesting than playing games in the future, especially seeing Tsuna's dark face.

"And then, you wouldn't abandon Yuni-chan after starting something, would you?"

"...Could you please use a normal idiom? Do I look like that kind of person?"

"Since it's already happened, why should I even think about avoiding it?"

"I will take responsibility for both Yuni's and Arya's matters."

"Hmm~ That makes it even more interesting."

Bai Lan remembers something very interesting.

“I remember that Gamma of Giglio Nero had feelings of admiration for the previous generation’s successor of the Ooku Pacifier.”

"He seems to have special feelings for Yuni-chan."

"If he finds out what you did to those two people... I'm sure something very interesting will happen."

Chapter 144 Upgrading the Ring Requires Finding the Right Person

"Please don't say things that give me a headache."

Tsuna could tell that this was a reminder to him, but he was also aware of what Gamma had done.

A box appeared in his hand.

The box was opened, and inside was the Mare ring.

"This ring belongs to you, and it belongs to you even in this world."

"You actually brought it back."

"I thought that after that world collapsed, the Mare Ring would also disappear along with it."

"What do you think?"

Bai Lan chuckled and accepted all the Mare rings.

Unlike Tsuna, who can maintain super fighting ability without wearing the Vongola Rings, he still relies somewhat on the rings' abilities.

"Don't forget what I told you back when we chose [Choose], in... um?"

Bai Lan's smile vanished.

"Tsuna, it seems your actions have been discovered~"

"I didn't intentionally walk in with their eyes turned away."

"After all, this is the Vongola, why should I act without their sight?"

"And judging from the way he looks, it should be Reborn."

"...Well, I've gotten used to him watching me from behind every now and then."

As someone who was often watched by Reborn, Tsuna had long been used to being watched.

Even with Reborn watching him, he doesn't have any other thoughts now.

"Don't worry too much about Reborn, let's continue with our story."

"The operation over there hasn't started yet, but once things settle down recently, the troubles over there will gradually begin."

"There's really a lot of trouble."
