Swapped Peng Lie

The daylight that had been hidden behind was revealed when the early fog cleared.

The golden sunlight pierces through the clouds or falls into the forest, and inadvertently falls into the castle surrounded by layers of forest.

It is not an impenetrable castle, the maid on duty in the Vengley headquarters mansion has already lifted the curtain, allowing the first rays of light in the morning to shine on the marble floor.

The sound of a young man wearing Martin boots came from far and near.

The boy who walked from one end of the corridor had short light brown hair neatly combed behind the master's head. He looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he didn't walk like a child, but more like an ordinary person. adult man.

The not-adult teenager finally stood in front of a door, he took a deep breath, and buckled his fingers on the door in a curved shape.

There were three beeps and two pauses, and when the hands were barely put down, a familiar voice came from inside the door.

"Please come in."

The young man took a deep breath again, and after making full preparations, he responded and pushed the door open.

The decorations that were almost the same as those in memory came rushing towards his face, he managed to calm down, and looked up at the ninth generation of Pengelie who was sitting by the window with a smile on his face.

"Gui'an, Your Excellency Jiudaimu." He heard himself speaking in a smooth tone, "Jiu Shu greets you."

"Long time no see, Enrico," Timoteo waved his hand, calling the restrained and unknowing boy to him.

The boy named Enrico suddenly thought of something that the people around him had mentioned a few days ago.No matter how gentle he is with himself, the Ninth Generation Head of Peng Geli is always the leader of the Ninth Generation of Peng Geli. No matter what his behavior is, the starting point and purpose are for Peng Geli.

but,

He looked straight at Timoteo and even slightly lowered his head. The young man looked a little tired compared to a few years ago, but he was still mighty and powerful.

And such a mighty and powerful man is concerned about his affairs in every detail, it's hard not to make people feel extremely inflated.

Enrico suddenly had an illusion that as long as he was still the first heir of Pengelie's succession candidate for the tenth generation, the ninth generation's eyes would focus on him no matter what.

Even if it's just a little bit.

That swelling feeling from someone's gaze came back.

Enrico is usually very good at hiding this expansion secretly in his heart.But this time he was unwilling to hide.

He opened his mouth, and saw Kudaime, who was eloquent, stopped and looked at him with gentle eyes.

"What's the matter, Enrico?"

He heard Kudaime ask.

"I..." he said, turning his head away without even knowing what he was talking about, "I heard that Jiudaimu adopted a child...that child...will be like me in the future, and will become Pengu Is it the heir of the tenth generation?"

-

Tsuna suddenly sneezed a little.

The sneeze was buried in the sound of two adults leaving and closing the door, so it was never noticed.

After leaving the adults who always come to disturb her, Tsuna can finally return to her daily life-the child who is not called on weekdays just sits in a small corner blankly, turning herself into a brown mushroom. In the corner, it was not until the servants who were waiting by the side that they would respond a few beats later when they were called at meal times or at other times.

Occasionally, members of Vengley who have nothing to do (mainly referring to the nine-generation family) will turn and walk in the children's room specially remodeled for children, unlike other ordinary Tsuna, who is shy of children of this age. Sit where you are and let them tease you.Although he never spoke and reacted slowly, but the soft and special touch for children, the small body size that makes people want to hold them in their arms, and even the messy fluffy hair made this group of adults The gentlemen are suppressing their excitement, and they would like to take an extra lap every day to suck Kudaime's son.

"Master Guardians are really kind to Master Tsuna," said Brabanters, the guardians of the rain, who are on duty today and guarding Tsuna's side Can't help but sigh with emotion.

"Julia." A female voice came from behind, and the girl named Julia subconsciously straightened up.

"I'm sorry, Mom... the head maid."

Taking a fluttering glance at the girl who corrected her mistakes by herself, Juliana, who has always been strict, also for the time being spared the occasional mistakes of the girl she raised.

but.

She glanced at Tsuna who was alone in the corner of the wall from a distance. The young child was sitting on the pillow cushion carefully arranged by the maids embroidered with bright patterns, staring blankly at the empty ground. .

And beside Tsuna was a silly bear, which was brought by the Brabanters just now, and it is said that it was a souvenir from Iemitsu Sawada, who was away on a business trip.But the child seemed to be more concerned about something else. Although Vongola's servants had prepared some toys suitable for the child's "five-year-old" age earlier, they were all ignored by Tsuna.But at this time, the toy "given" to him by Brabanters seems to have gotten the owner's attention.The rather masculine black box was fumbled open by Tsuna, revealing the contents inside.

It's a puzzle.

A simple jigsaw puzzle with only about 20 pieces. The chosen shape is that of the Pengelie family crest... The mosaic version seems to be custom-made by unexpectedly careful Brabanters.

Tsuna, who had never been interested in other toys, stared at the jigsaw puzzle in front of her for a long time, and when Julia couldn't bear it and wanted to step forward to help him, she took the jigsaw puzzle that was not as tightly sealed as the outside world. Poured out.

Unexpectedly, Tsuna opened her mouth and stared blankly at the ground for a while.

"Try... How about trying to put them back together?" Julia asked softly from afar, "Master Tsuna."

The child whose name was called this time did not look up, put the packing box in his hand on the little bear's feet with a pursed mouth, and started to pick up a puzzle and play by himself.

Juliana took all this into her eyes. She looked at the young master who was entertaining himself earnestly. His soft hair was almost transparent at the edges under the warm sunlight, and it was blurred by the child in the bright yellow jacket and orange pants. It almost seemed to blend with the golden sun and the brown floor.

[It is indeed a lovely child. ] Even Juliana had to admit that.

[but. ]

She thought back to what Julia had just said about the Guardians' kind tone towards Tsuna.

[The most important thing for those guys is that this is the "adopted son" chosen by the leader they recognize, a child who will fall on the ground even if the waste material is walking, but as long as it does not endanger Pengo Li's development, they have to show a gesture of "approval" . ]

She looked helplessly at Julia, who knew nothing about it, and the girl whose name was almost the same as her own was unaware of the undercurrent under Vongola, and just stared at the pitiful and lovely girl innocently and tenderly. children.

[They are all just children. ] She thought, lowered her eyes and backed away, and when she was away from the two children, she slashed in the air with a knife in her hand extremely sharply, and there was no sound from the beginning to the end of this process.

Then she retreated far away to a place where the two of them couldn't see, and spread out her palm wrapped in white gloves, as if lying on a tiny black miniature instrument that was almost indistinguishable.

Juliana frowned, and after thinking for a while, she lifted the corner of her skirt and walked towards Vengley's technical department.

And Julia, who sensed something, slightly moved her eyes away from Tsuna's side, but she could no longer see the figure of the departing woman.The girl blinked, and continued to nervously watch the child in front of her stare at the jigsaw puzzle awkwardly and dullly for a long while before finally picking up a piece.
