I am the protagonist

"I'm afraid it's that same problem."

[This kid moved way too fast, is he even my son?]

How come they acted even earlier than I did?

"...Iemitsu, that's not the key point."

"You... cough cough, you should also take care of Tsunayoshi's health."

"Young people sometimes can't control themselves, so you should at least keep an eye on them."

【…】

"Well, you should go home and visit your family in the next few days."

“After Tsuna lost his memory, even you wouldn’t recognize him, right? Now you should let him know that his father is not dead.”

Boss, please don't kill me off so easily.

【…】

[But unfortunately for her, it's Arya. She's much more difficult to deal with than I imagined.]

The Ninth Generation did not think so.

"If it were now, Arya would probably be much easier to handle than ever before."

"On the contrary, it's Tsunayoshi... that kid seems to be able to use that ability at will. Perhaps in a sense, Tsunayoshi is the one who is difficult to deal with now."

What's troublesome is that that kind of power is extremely dangerous.

Having come into contact with that power, Ninth Generation knew very well that it was extremely powerful, but the price to pay for that power was also extremely high.

【! ? 】

Has Tsuna already come into contact with that power?

"I don't know... but that child seems to have started using that power recklessly. You need to tell that child about the dangers of that power, and also let him know that it's best not to use it too often."

"I understand. I'll go back and check on it today."

Chapter 146 An Irresistible Fee

The people arranged by the Ninth Emperor were already waiting for Tsunayoshi and Byakuran when they walked out of the prison.

"Mr. Sawada."

The people who were sent over from outside were all people who were very familiar with the situation.

Everyone in the Vongola family now knows that Sawada Tsunayoshi is the next Boss. Even though the succession ceremony hasn't started yet, everyone already knows this.

"Ah."

Tsuna's gaze swept over everyone present.

"!?"

Just one glance was enough to send chills down everyone's spine.

"Where is Grandpa Tarpo now?"

"Mr. Tarpo is currently in Italy."

"Heh~ That's perfect, we can get everything sorted out here this morning."

It's still morning, and a trip to Italy doesn't take very long. We should be able to take care of the ring in one morning.

Tsuna also needs to go and talk to the people over there this afternoon.

"Go to Italy first, as quickly as possible."

"Yes!"

Everyone lowered their heads, the shock in their eyes beyond words.

But at this moment they all understood one thing.

Sawada Tsunayoshi is indeed the inheritor of the Vongola bloodline.

Everyone who understood this became even more serious.

Private cars are indeed much faster than expected; in less than an hour, Tsuna and Byakuran had already arrived in Italy.

Although Tarpo had been blind for many years, his sensory nerves were more developed than usual; otherwise, how could he have worked as a gold engraver?

[Such a fierce flame of deathly aura.]

These two young people are much stronger than I imagined.

He already knew that one of them was the tenth Vongola.

Another one seems to be someone who will destroy the Vongola in the near future.

This intelligence is highly classified.

However, as the first-generation engraver Tarpo, he possessed special intelligence and had the means to know these confidential information that ordinary people could not access.

The young man, who had inherited the bloodline of his predecessor, was just as spirited and energetic as he had been in his previous life.

Even their overall demeanor is remarkably similar.

The successors across generations are truly amazing.

Tarpo is now quite grateful that he has had enough time to see many interesting things.

It's quite interesting that these two contradictory people ended up together.

Two seemingly contradictory people actually ended up together.

This relationship is truly unusual.

Furthermore, Tarpo remembered that Byakuran Geso seemed to have been controlled by the Vongola, but he never expected that it was the future Tenth Vongola who brought him out.

However, it was more interesting than I had imagined.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Please come in."

Tarpo sensed two young boys entering the room.

"The Vongola X and the boy who will destroy the Vongola in the future."

"The old man's intelligence capabilities are truly impressive. This is highly confidential information, yet he found out about it so easily."

"Hahaha! After all, getting old doesn't mean you can't do anything. This old man knows a lot about this."

"That's true. After all, Yi Shi must trust the old man a lot, and he even lets the old man know some things."

Tarpo's expression became more understanding.

[The Tenth Vongola really does know a lot.]

"So, what brings you here to see me this time?"

Tarpo knew that these two people must have something to say to him.

Everyone knows that he has been working as a gold engraver since the first life, and he was also someone who worked for the first life.

So these two must have come here because of their work as gold carvers.

"It's like this, I know that Grandpa Tarpo has a deep understanding of rings, and I also know that he is one of the few people in the world who can improve the three great treasures. Byakuran and I hope that Grandpa Tarpo can help improve the Mare Ring and the Vongola Ring."

"...The world's two greatest treasures, and you immediately want to improve them?"

Even though he had already guessed some of it, Tarpo was still very surprised when he heard the request.

"Improving these two treasures will not be easy."

"I'm not young anymore. Neither the Vongola Ring nor the Mare Ring are things that are easy to improve."

"Of course I know that."

"So before the old man took on this job, I decided to pay him for the improved ring first."

Tsuna walked to Talbo's side and gently placed his fingers on the pair of eyes that had long been blind.

"Ok?"

After a century of blindness, the eyes were able to sense a glimmer of light once again.

The old man slowly opened his eyes.

The bright light in the room made it difficult for eyes that had been blind for nearly a century to adjust immediately.

Even the old man, who had lived for over two hundred years, became somewhat emotional at this moment.

[I really saw it!?]

[No matter what I did, I couldn't make those eyes see again, but now they can see again!?]

The ability to see again after being blind is something a blind person longs for.

For a gold engraver, crafting techniques are one aspect, but the eye is equally important.

He may have achieved a status that no other goldsmith could attain, but he has lost his eyes.

If those eyes were still there, the old man believed he could have improved his skills even further.

I never imagined that this impossible wish would actually come true today.

"Grandpa, is it acceptable now?"

A smile spread across the old man's face.

"Alright, I'll take it, old man."

For a gold engraver, the eye is more valuable than anything else.

He was also quite interested in the world's two greatest treasures.

He would feel regretful if he didn't take on such an interesting job.

"But the relationship between the two of you is really interesting."

"If you ask me, it's just like Vongola I and that man back then."

"Simon Cozart?"

"!?"

“Vongola X, you really do know a lot.”

Upon hearing the man's name, Tarpo knew that Vongola X truly knew things that many others could not.

Simon Cozart, not many people know that man's name now.

At least the old man believed that the Ninth Generation would not know this name.

The only known figure is the second generation from the first era; after the second generation, no one will know the man's name anymore.

No one will ever know what really happened during that era.

"Heh~ Old Master Tarpo, it's because I'm also planning to go and see the people over there."

"And return that thing to them while you're at it."

Chapter 147 The True History of Vongola and Simon

"Bai Lan, how are you?"

"Hmm~ I think I'll stay in Italy for a few more days. The ring modification can't be done so quickly."

"That's good, it's a good opportunity for you to gather the people in the vicinity."

"They should also have memories of the future."

"Well, that's what I think too."

Others really don't care about Bai Lan; whether she's there or not doesn't really matter to them.

But only a few people held different degrees of significance for Bai Lan.

They must have already started taking action a while ago.

Bai Lan believed that those people must have already begun searching for his whereabouts.

Although finding his location is not an easy task, the presence of such a large magnet as the Vongola makes it much simpler.
