In the silence of no one around, the open door seemed to silently invite and entice the boy to explore.

The child was a little nervous, but he still took a step forward.

"It couldn't have been blown away by the wind...could it...really, Mister XANXUS...?"

The heart is beating like a drum, and the rekindled hope is mixed with the fear of the unknown darkness in the house, which makes people feel uneasy.

The man who felt the same had a rare serious look on his face, "Something's wrong... brat—! Don't go in!"

But no matter how eagerly he warned, the child still couldn't hear his voice.

"Just... just to make sure..."

Wanting to find out and confirm whether it was really the person he had been thinking about coming back, the feeling of finally overcoming his fear, Tsuna plucked up his courage and pushed open the door.

"Squeak..." The old door made a difficult sound, dragged for a very long time, the dust in the house that was left unattended fell down, and filled the nostrils, and outside the house, turbulent dark clouds slowly enveloped The dim hanging moon took away the last ray of light in the night.

XANXUS: "...Damn it!"

It was too quiet around the child.

The helpless man in the ice can only be alert to every movement in the darkness, but he... can't even make a sound to remind him; this terrible anxiety made the man lose his former calmness.

Such a powerless situation has never been experienced by a man who has always been regarded as the pride of heaven.

What's more damning is that this brat is only because of him...

That's why he hates this brat who adds unnecessary worries to others!

In the dark, Gang Ji groped cautiously, tentatively with his tail, he picked up the object that should be a table, although he thought his question was stupid, but the child still asked the air as loud as possible: "... Um, may I ask... is Mr. XANXUS back?"

"..." In the empty room, there were only children's echoes one after another.

But when the last echo fell and the room returned to silence, another man's voice suddenly sounded.

"Oh, little guy, didn't you come to ask for candy?"

Kokichi Sawada:"……!"

XANXUS: "Brat!"

The sound seemed to be coming from all directions. The child looked around in a panic, but he couldn't identify the source of the sound, nor could he see anyone.

"You, who are you?" The child bluffed while groping for the exit.

The person in the darkness seemed to give a low chuckle, and said in a bewitching voice: "Little guy, you are quite courageous... Because you look like you really hope someone can come to open the door, so I am kind." I helped you, I can feel that you have a desire that you want to realize urgently, would you like to tell me? I might be able to help you realize it..."

The child who was about to reach the door suddenly stopped in his tracks.

I only heard the man continue: "It's just that the price is - your eyes."

XANXUS: "——!"

...Little devil, how stupid do you have to be, do you want to believe this kind of childish deception?

"Really, really... can my wish come true?"

He heard the child ask.

"...Ahhhh... idiot | idiot..."

There was a slight throbbing pain in the heart.

How far do you have to annoy me to be willing... I don't need these extra emotions, but if...you dare to give up your life so easily——

I can't guarantee what I will do.

"Yes, I, Mr. Ghost, can fulfill all your wishes, as long as you are willing to offer your beautiful eyes." The existence in the darkness seemed to sigh.

"...I am willing," the child said solemnly.

"but……"

"Click", the sound of the light being turned on, suddenly bright and dazzling, the child who finally fumbled for the switch said angrily to the young man who was covering his eyes due to the unexpected light on the steps of the main hall: "Brother, look a little It's not like an omnipotent ghost."

"Ah...was it exposed? The mysterious atmosphere I created with great difficulty..."

The young man on the steps got used to the bright light, and after a while, he stopped grinning and said in a deliberately low voice.

XANXUS: "..." This voice is...

"Who are you and why are you here... Only the official heirs should be eligible to enter this house." For the first time, the child showed a particularly serious expression, and the warm brown pupils transformed into vertical pupils of lions and beasts, overflowing Slightly golden hue.

The tail behind him also stood up high with some fried hair.

"Well...don't be nervous," the young man casually sat down on the spot, looking down at the boy on the steps.

"You can call me Senior X. As for why I am here... Anyway, this will become my house sooner or later. Is it okay if I come to inspect it in advance? Little guy, don't you really think that the only successor is You and that man? Oh... no, I made a mistake, that man is already dead and naturally he can no longer be counted as the heir."

The man who claimed to be Senior X smiled unscrupulously.

"—!!"

"I won't allow you to say that..."

"Oh?"

For the first time, the boy showed obvious hostility towards someone, "Mr. XANXUS is not dead!!"

Senior X tilted his head and squinted his eyes, "Do you still firmly believe that the man who has not heard from you for three years is not dead? Or are you just blindly evading the facts? And generally heirs like you should be because of what I just said Is it the reason to be annoyed by the crazy words that took away Vongola's position? Hey, hey, hey... I'm just talking, don't, don't cry..."

Noticing the child's expression, the young man who had always been at ease immediately became at a loss.

"So...Mr. XANXUS is not dead!" The boy emphasized with a sob, trying not to let the tears fall.

"Okay, okay, I'm not dead, I'm not dead." The young man had no choice but to compromise. The moment he said this, the boy raised his hand and blocked back his tears.

Senior X: "Hey... what kind of skill is this..."

I didn't expect it to be so easy to coax, the young man said strangely.

Just, even if you are also the heir..." The boy's voice was still a little sobbing, "This house will definitely not belong to you in the future... because Mr. XANXUS will definitely come back. "

The child tightly held the ring on his chest, as if drawing some reassuring power from it.

"..." Looking at the child's determined gaze, the young man slowly restrained his smile, "Is this really good? If XANXUS really comes back... you will be the first one to suffer, right? You have it The other half of Vongola’s ring, his biggest competitor on the surface? You will definitely be regarded by that man as an obstacle that you want to get rid of quickly. You know, that man will do whatever it takes to get this position. , he will only use absolute strength to dominate everything, there is no kindness at all, even so...do you want him to come back?"

The boy's small hands wrapped around the ring tightly again, and he nodded without hesitation.

[I am willing to give everything——]

"As long as he can come back..."

I absolutely, don't be a hindrance to Mr. XANXUS.

"Ah..." The young man scratched his head in trouble, and muttered to himself, "There is really a fool who would like that ruthless boss so much..."

The young man raised his head, looked directly at the boy and said, "If this is the case, then there is no other way..."

"!"

When the young man finished speaking, the boy felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and he fell to the ground powerlessly. At the last moment when his consciousness was completely gone, the child heard the young man's slowly approaching footsteps and leaning over to whisper.

"I will accept this half of the ring first...Little guy, let's make a bet, you will be promoted to the middle school in the beginning of spring, right? The official successors of Peng Gelie in the past are all from the student union." President, this has almost become a customary rule, if you can defeat me in the student council president election this time, how about I return the ring to you?"

"Hmm...", the child tried hard to make a sound, but couldn't say anything.

He could only vaguely feel the cold silver chain on his neck being taken away and peeled off.

"Crack——"

【Can't……】

[A ring that must never be taken away by others...]

[Be sure to keep the ring for Mr. XANXUS...]

【Must... give him the ring...】

【must……】

This was the last sound the man heard... When the ring left the boy's body, everything disappeared and there was no more sound... The world returned to silence.

----------

"Thank you...Ottovia." From the stairs, a white-haired old man with a cane walked down slowly.

The young man just offered the ring to him with a wry smile, "Nine Daime... Please don't make me do such an embarrassing job next time... If the boss knows what I just said, I will definitely die." The place of burial..."

Just thinking about that scene, the young man burst into cold sweat. In fact, when he recited the lines just now, he felt a burst of fear for some reason, as if the boss was watching coldly from the side.

Hearing this, the old man just smiled very kindly.

"Hey...but Jiudaimu, can this really arouse that little guy's desire to inherit Vongola? He made it clear to his classmates before that he doesn't want to join the student union..."

I don't know how many times Ottovia sighed today, "He still seems to be convinced... BOSS is still alive and well... Actually, I've always been reluctant to believe that that powerful man just died so inexplicably. I don't see people dead or dead, but I haven't reached the point where this little guy is so persistent..."

The young man scratched his head helplessly, this was even more troublesome than what he encountered when he was the vice president under XANXUS.

The old man didn't speak, just nodded his crutch slightly.

"Young people's affairs...let them handle it themselves."

The old man took the child into his arms and walked out.

"That's right..." Ottovia had no choice but to stop struggling, but he suddenly realized something stiffly, "Wait... Kudaime, did you just say "they"?Am I wrong?Right?Right? ! "

The young man asked the old man for proof, as if he could no longer see the sun of tomorrow, and the only response to him was the old man's cheerful and kind smile.
