I still found the wrong target for the strategy today [Comprehensive]

Sawada suddenly changed his mind, saying that the situation on the day of the ring competition might be dangerous, and told Hanase not to watch it.

"But, I will definitely win!"

Sawada promised Hanase so firmly.

Hanase didn't really understand.

She didn't ask Sawada to do something, but Sawada obviously regarded "winning Xanxus" as something similar to a promise, and kept emphasizing it to her and working hard for it.

Reborn felt that Sawada's drive to maintain the status quo was not a bad thing, and prevented Hanase from giving any comforting words.

Hanase suddenly remembered that Skylark was also Vongola's guardian, logically speaking, he would also participate in the battle for the ring.

So Hanase knocked sideways and asked Yunque if there was any major event going to happen recently, Yunari stopped his hands and thought for a while, then shook his head coldly, and said with certainty: "No."

For a moment, Hanase really thought it was gone.

But one time when she went to the Disciplinary Committee's activity room, she met Dancing Martino.Dino is sparing no effort to persuade Skylark to accept the Pengo Lie ring. As a result, it is no surprise that the two started fighting. This can be regarded as special training in disguise—reborn didn't know where Hanase and Skylark's daily relationship is fighting. , using the increased remuneration as a bargaining chip, let Hanase fight with Skylark at least twice a day.

Hanase doesn't understand them very well.

The battle for the ring was divided into several days, and the corresponding guardians fought against each other in turn. Sawada, as Ozora, was on the last day.

The penultimate day was Skylark.

Hanase didn't receive any invitation, and if Reborn hadn't informed her in advance, she wouldn't even know which day Hibari played.

"you're back."

Hanase said that on the sofa in the living room, she heard the sound of the door opening in the entrance, grabbed the back of the sofa, knelt and looked back at him.

"Ah."

Skylark obviously responded casually, and his posture was completely inattentive.

"You came back very late today."

Skylark was very calm: "There are some boring things to deal with."

Hanase: "..."

In his eyes, the battle for Vengley's ring is a "boring thing".

Can't say anything other than the boss.

"I've prepared bath water for you." Hanase brought a cup of warm water in front of him, almost in a flattering gesture, "Are you hungry? Do you want me to make you a midnight snack?"

Skylark reached out to take the glass of water, and the plain silver ring on his left middle finger was extremely conspicuous under the light.

He looked up at Hanase thoughtfully: "What do you want to say?"

"Huh?" Hanase was stunned, "Is it so obvious?"

Why didn't she know that Skylark was so observant before.

Lark sat down on the sofa.

Hanase sat upright and faced him, cleared her throat and said, "I have something very serious to tell you."

"Well, say it."

Skylark raised his jaw slightly and drank half a glass of water.

"Do you remember that there was a reason why I lived here in the first place?" Hanase decided to turn around a little.

"Ah."

Skylark nodded.

This is an exchange between him and the baby.

"It's almost time now." Hanase hesitated, "...I should go."

"..."

Skylark turned his gaze and stared at her for a few seconds, "Go home?"

Hanase nodded quickly: "Yeah."

Skylark said "Oh" softly, and didn't seem to care much: "Where is your home?"

Hanase was stunned for a moment, and found that Yunque didn't understand the true meaning of her words, but under the eyes of the other party who seemed to be shining, she suddenly didn't want to emphasize anything, and it was rare to get stuck: "Slums."

Skylark didn't speak for a while.

He just looked at Hanase.

There was something Hanase couldn't understand in his eyes.

Deep and quiet.

Hanase felt nervous before Hibari spoke, and there was no special emotion in his voice.

"you alone?"

Hibari never took his eyes off Hanase.

Hanase was a little uncertain, she asked whether she would be alone when she went back, or if she would still be alone after she went back.

She blinked twice quickly and asked, "When I go back?"

"After you go back."

said Skylark.

Hanase shook her head: "I still have friends there."

She is not alone.

So it's time to go back.

Skylark knew that she came here temporarily, after all, it was an agreement with Reborn, otherwise Hanase would not be able to live in his house, but Skylark didn't know the time limit.

Skylark was silent for a while, and her voice was calm:

"Then what are your plans?"

This question was unexpected.

Hanase had imagined various reactions of Skylark, after all, it was her fault now.It's okay if Skylark is angry or just wants to vent his anger in a temporary fight.

But Hanase never thought that he would ask her about her next plan so seriously.

Hanase suddenly got stuck.

Skylark frowned slightly: "Haven't you thought about it?"

Hanase shook her head, especially hard to show her sincerity.

Skylark stared into her eyes and repeated: "What do you plan to do next?"

This time he asked in detail: "Do you want to stay in the slums forever, or do you have other plans to get out of there?"

Hanase really couldn't answer.

She's so uncertain right now.

She is doing Tai Chi:

"You ask this is...?"

Skylark didn't respond: "Shouldn't I ask?"

Hanase shook her head frantically again.

Skylark thought her reaction was a bit strange, but didn't think much of it.

After deliberating for a while, I expressed my true thoughts: "The slums should not be a good place to live. I hope you can come out."

Hanase was taken aback.

I only heard Yunque continue to say: "If you are worried about your friends, then bring them out together."

"Can……"

Skylark said in a calm and indifferent tone from usual, not joking at all: "I can raise you, don't worry."

Hanase: "..."

It was the first time I heard someone say that to her.

Not counting those who met on the street with deep meaning, it was the first time Hanase heard such a firm and as if it should be taken for granted promise.

She was too shocked to speak.

He just stared blankly at Skylark.

Skylark put down the water glass in his hand, and as he moved, the ring shone brightly under the light.

Before Hanase's response, Yunque frowned: "If you don't want to be raised by me, you can use other methods."

He paused and added, "I won't let you be bullied."

Hanase found it difficult to breathe.

"I... I didn't say..." She pursed her lips, and the corners of her lips were lowered, an expression she rarely showed in front of Lark, "I...you...you don't have to be so nice to me, sooner or later I will Back to that place..."

She obviously didn't finish her sentence.

Skylark quietly waited for her to continue.

Hanase clenched her fingers: "That place is not as simple as you think, so I... the me who came out of that place is not as simple as you think."

"I didn't think you were so simple." Skylark leaned back, just changed his position, with his fingers resting on his knees, he looked unapproachable and impatient, but now he was calm and talkative, that's all Letting time go by, "If you can beat me, it's not easy."

Hanase: "..."

Hanase: "I didn't mean that..."

"I'm not interested in knowing that much." Yunque interrupted her, it was not intentional, his emotions had been suppressed enough, "I only pay attention to you."

Hanase was at a loss for words again.

She felt that not only had she not been upgraded, but she had also been downgraded.

This is different from the traditional customs clearance upgrade flow.

"I... have something to deal with." Hanase could only say so in the end, avoiding the skylark's gaze that had been lingering on her in a little embarrassment, "... for a while, there is no way to come back."

She originally wanted to take advantage of the trend and break up with Skylark.

This is fine.

Can't grasp the rhythm of this mutation at all.

"how long?"

asked Skylark.

Hanase has never seen such a strong side of Skylark since dating him. It is an invisible aura. Based on this point, she does not want to confront Skylark's aura at all. This is how the embarrassing unilateral dominance scene is formed. .

"I'm not sure."

She still said so.

Skylark was silent for a while.

When looking down, the eyelashes cast a small semi-circular shadow on the lower eyelid.

He understood what Hanase meant.

"You want to break up?"

Hibari really didn't think about this possibility at first, because he felt that even if Hanase had any difficulties, he would help solve them.

From the perspective of "help" at the beginning, he never thought about the possibility of breaking up.

Hanase really imagined that when she broke up with Hong, she would fight so quickly, but judging from the follow-up incidents, the decisiveness she thought seemed to have the opposite effect. This straightforward customary method is a bit unbelievable.

"You think, we will be separated for a long time..." Hanase tried to reason with him, letting Hibari understand that long-distance relationships have no future, "There are too many variables in the middle, and there is no way to predict... It's not surprising even if you change your mind, so ...wouldn't it be better to break up?"

She used an uncertain inquiry tone.

"Are you not confident in yourself, or in me?"

Skylark still looked so calm, as if he was not affected at all. It was really his greatest sincerity that he didn't say "crowd bite and kill" at the first time or walked away because it was too troublesome.

Hanase took a light breath and replied, "I don't have confidence in myself."

Skylark's eyes suddenly sank, like the light thrown into the abyss.

He endured it for so long, and finally revealed the ominous omen of the impending rain from this look in his eyes.

If Hanase answered him, maybe it was a temptation, maybe it was distrust, but no matter what, it was less important than her distrust of herself.

"You mean," Skylark asked slowly, "you will change your mind?"

Hanase looked down, not daring to raise her head: "I can't promise, I'm sorry."

"Oh."

Skylark stood up.

He didn't move much, and at this moment his eyes finally moved away from Hanase, and he was looking at the ring on his left middle finger.

"What do you want to do with this thing?"

Hanase glanced subconsciously, only to feel that Hibari's eyes were frightening.

"It has been given to you, it's up to you..."

Before he finished speaking, Skylark took the ring off his hand and threw it out, over the open window, to nowhere.

The air is more dangerous than a crumbling building.

"Get out."

Skylark said the last sentence in a stiff tone, and the veins on the back of the hand hanging by his side bulged.

He turned and walked toward the room.

The moment Hanase turned her back, she heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and the materials of the objects falling.

Crisp and dull, intertwined into a severe tune that is caught off guard but cannot be avoided.

...Shouldn't she have stayed and let him beat her up?

In the end, Hanase followed her advice and got out of Yunque's house first, and prepared to spend the night in a park by the roadside against the darkness.
