Swapped Peng Lie

Dino and Tsuna were arguing (one-sidedly) about where the next piece of the puzzle should go when the door closed.

He decided that the puzzle piece in Tsuna's hand should be placed on the edge, but Tsuna's hand was placed in the direction of the center of the puzzle.

Dino almost rushed to embrace Tsuna's hand and desperately grabbed the hand he let go.

And the toddler who was held by a whole golden retriever was not annoyed, he stopped his hands and seemed to be thinking seriously.

——Although he has put this puzzle back and forth for an unknown number of times.

Two children of similar ages were arguing silently, and Julia's cautious and almost silent departure did not attract their attention, but the biscuits brought by Ellie caught the attention of the two children.

"Ah, is it blueberry pie this afternoon?" Dino turned his attention to the dessert in the hands of the maid with bright eyes, and Dino, who was still struggling with the puzzle, pulled Tsuna's sleeve, "Hey, Tsuna, Let's eat something first, Tsuna~"

Tsuna, who was holding the puzzle with two fingers, also tilted her head. Although her face was still expressionless, her slightly lit eyes showed that the other party was also looking forward to it.

Ellie laughed when she saw the expressions of the two young masters, and put the plate on the table closest to the two children.

"Please wash your hands before coming to eat, young masters." She tilted her head and smiled, handing Dino and Tsuna clean water and towels to clean their hands.

Dino, who washed his hands clean, said "Yes~", raised his hands high and came over to pick up a piece. .two pieces.

He handed the piece in his left hand to Tsuna.

After blinking and blinking, Tsuna took the biscuit, and then stopped moving, just stared blankly at the small biscuit, which looked so ordinary.

Dino looked at Tsuna who was in a daze. The blond child whose father had whispered that Tsuna's reaction would be a little slower had no taboo about this, and raised a huge smile at Tsuna who looked at him and then at the biscuit He began to happily stuff the biscuits into his mouth.

A hand grabbed him.

"Eh?" Dino looked along the hand that was holding him, the force holding him was actually very small, but Dino still noticed the almost negligible force.

He tilted his head, and what he saw was the expressionless Tsuna who was said to be two years older than himself but couldn't tell.

"Tsuna...do you want to eat this piece from my hand?" He struggled for a while, although there is no difference between the two biscuits, but since Tsuna wants...it is not impossible for him to share his biscuit with others Tsuna.

Di and Dino definitely didn't feel sorry for their little biscuit oh QUQ, but he promised his father, Grandpa Timoteo, to take good care of Tsuna!

So the blond kid handed the uneaten biscuit to Tsuna quite neatly, with a pretty big smile.

But his brain waves were obviously not captured by the other party.

The brown-haired child looked at the biscuit handed in front of him, raised his hand after saying "ah".

He swung the biscuit that Dino handed over to him.

Even though it wasn't something precious, the disappointment and excitement of being swept away by the kindness he handed out still swept Dino's heart in an instant.

The blond child bit his lower lip and was about to cry in a matter of minutes.

But the reaction went unnoticed by the perpetrators.

After swiping the biscuit that Dino handed over, Tsuna turned her head to look at Ellie, those inorganic, clear to nearly golden eyes stared at the lovely maid with twin ponytails, as if looking at a dead thing.

Dino tugged on Tsuna's sleeve, forcing himself to convince himself that it was just the kid who dropped the biscuit because Tsuna didn't hold it steady. At this moment, he cared more about Tsuna's actions than the biscuit that had fallen. .

"If you want another piece, I can bring it for Tsuna."

The essentially clumsy and gentle child said this, and was about to step forward to get two more biscuits.

Then he was caught again.

This time, even Dino could see Tsuna's anomaly. According to the descriptions of the people at Pengo Lie's headquarters, Tsuna was a child who almost only responded to his name and jigsaw puzzles. People who cared enough about him once were happy for a long time.

A child who is only three years old can't understand these things, and his simple brain is filled with the idea that his brother is a bit stupid, so Dino should take good care of Tsuna.

So he stopped his short legs and turned to look at Tsuna.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

The child who was asked did not speak, but looked at the maid Ellie who was standing aside with an expressionless face, which gradually made people feel uneasy.

Dino was about to ask again, when he was caught off guard by Ellie's voice, which was slightly different from before.

"Ah, have you been discovered?" The girl in a maid outfit with ponytails smiled and walked towards the two unidentified children.

"Worthy of being a descendant of Pengo Lie, this [super intuition] is also an existence worthy of research."

The girl's voice gradually became weird, and her body changed at the same time.

With the center of the top of the head as the point, black sludge-like things continuously overflowed from there, gradually enveloping the whole person.In the black mud of the human form, there seems to be a part of the mouth that is constantly opening and closing, tearing out a flamboyant and distorted smile.

"Of course the most important flame of death energy is also something that must be studied."

"That's why I want to recover, my most important experimental subject."

"Kokichi Sawada."

Looking at Tsuna who seemed to be unaware of the outside world with pure malicious eyes, the humanoid black mud looked at Tsuna who finally realized his existence—or Sawada Tsunayoshi grinned, calling his name like calling the most precious Treasures and the closest people.
