"Is this yours?"

Perhaps because there was no answer, Spedo asked again, but his expression seemed a little absent-minded.Only then did Gangji come back to his senses: "Um... ah, yes."

She took a step forward, raised her hand to pick it up, and it fell smoothly into the palm of her hand, leaving the warmth of the other party. She clenched her pocket watch tightly, and withdrew her hand and dropped it by her side.

There is no trace of flame use, so he probably never opened it?

Noticing her unnatural movement, Spedo curled the corners of his lips.

"A very important thing?"

"Well, it was given by someone else." When Gangji had to say this, he felt a little awkward, and tried his best to adjust his facial expression so as not to reveal his emotions. "There is no such thing as important or not, it's just..."

just what?There was an empty feeling of confusion in her heart, but she couldn't say anything clearly.

"A person you like?" Spedo raised his eyebrows, with a teasing smile in his eyes.

"Uh, not in any way..."

She didn't know how to answer for a while, so she had to look away, feeling very embarrassed, but the other party acted as if she had acquiesced, and stopped asking.

"Are you homesick?"

She didn't expect such a person to change the subject thoughtfully, and what he asked was... a question that seemed to be concerned.

"I definitely want to." Tsuna stuffed the pocket watch into his pocket, and when he looked up again, his expression was much calmer, "I miss them, family, friends, and..."

Apart from her instinctive thoughts, she doesn't even know the situation of her own time, and what kind of impact her disappearance will have.How much her companions will worry about her, whether the Simon family who solved the misunderstanding will face an embarrassing situation, and Liudao Mukui who has just been released from prison...

However, the return date is far away, with no end in sight.

It is impossible not to lose, but facing people of this era, no matter what worries and scruples they have, they cannot be revealed, especially to this person.

When thinking this way, Gang Ji heard a faint sigh.

"What a child."

"Hmm... what?" she couldn't help protesting, "it's true that she is younger than you in terms of age, but it's not enough to put it like this—"

"Is there something wrong?" Spedo said casually, "It's not easy to grow up in good and stable conditions, and this is not derogatory."

There is no intrigue, conflict of interests, or desperate struggle for survival rations. In contrast, having a simpler growth environment is a very happy thing.Spedo naturally assumed that it was because her family had protected her too well before that.

It's unbelievable that such a very simple and clean person has not been contaminated with the decadent smell of those rich and paper drunks, nor has the depravity of those desperadoes in the dark street.

And he is just the opposite.

Growing up in a family that has a glamorous appearance but is actually extremely rotten, and then joined Peng Lie and was exposed to all kinds of dark sides before and after, he also knew how much blood and countless sins were stained on his hands, and he was indifferent to it In his heart... Only Giotto would still be willing to accept him and welcome him after knowing what he had done.

The innocence and innocence that he despises and ridicules are fully reflected in this leader of the big sky, but it allows him to see hope and light, enough to melt the ice in his heart.

He stayed and hoped for the family day after day.

Spedo couldn't figure out why Giotto would let such a child stay in the family. Even though Vongola's composition was a bit special, the nature of the mafia was unavoidable after all.

After observing for so long, he has basically confirmed that even if the essence is the same, but without Giotto's fighting power, nor the thinking and experience of being a mafia, the longer Tsuna stays in the family, the more she will be, whether it is for herself or for them. Neither good.

Giotto, as the leader, is unlikely to do meaningless things that are just out of pure kindness.His permission, the arrangement he let himself take over, must have his consideration.

... So, what is Giotto thinking?

There is no solution.

When Spedo recovered from his own thoughts, he found that Gangji had been staring at him for a while.In the case of insufficient light, he could still clearly see some unknown light shining in the other party's eyes.

"So, what about Mr. Spedo? If you have to be separated from your...well, lover for a long time, you will miss him very much, right?"

Tsuna hesitated for a moment, and before saying it, he changed the choice of family and friends-according to the familiarity with the temperament of various illusionists, they would definitely give an understatement and take it lightly.

"..."

"I mean, someone you like?" Facing the sudden silence, she suddenly became a little uncertain, but she still couldn't help asking, "There should be, right?"

The slight surprise on Spedo's face quickly disappeared.

"Hmm, like? There is no such existence... If you mean the level of a lover."

"No, no?"

"No."

Tsuna didn't really believe it, but seeing his calm expression and his more flat tone, without any hint of concealment or even trying to hide it, he was confused instead.

Seeing her like this, Spedo chuckled in a low voice, and repeated it affirmatively.

"I don't need that troublesome feeling. If you knew a little about warlocks, you wouldn't say such stupid things."

"But...in the future, there will always be...should be, will we meet?"

However, when she said that, she was not sure in her heart.Now she can't figure out whether the other party is hiding it intentionally, or whether she came to a parallel space that is different from the original after all.

"Why do you say that?" Spedo asked back, with interest in his smile, "Do you really hope to have it?"

"That's not what it means," Tsuna said in a low voice, "I just feel—uh, I don't know why, there is a feeling..."

"It felt like he was lonely and needed someone to accompany him. 』

But she might laugh at herself when she said that.

alone?lonely?She could completely imagine the face that was similar to Liudao Muku's with a half-smiley expression: Do you think this is some kind of vulgar TV series or novel?Spare your overflowing sympathy.

Besides, even if there is something, is it something she can care about?The most taboo thing about people like them is that other people meddle in their own business and care about them.

So she shook her head and changed what she was about to blurt out to: "—it seems boring, don't worry. Have you ever tried to raid Don Giotto's room at night?"

"..."

The other party did not show a face of "Oh, it was exposed", but a dumbfounded expression, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Great, it should be straight.

"...you said it," Spedo pointed out.

"what……"

"Also, what does 'should' mean?"

×××

However, Spedo later gave her a reasonable explanation.

"Nobody's going to break into Giotto's room... because that bastard from the Intelligence Service did it years ago."

When he found that Gangji's expression was clearly changing from astonishment to "Do I know something I shouldn't know", he resisted the twitching of his face and continued: "They didn't know each other at that time, because some family members matter, he intends to arrest Giotto."

"...Oh," Tsuna sighed, and at the same time, he imagined the scene of the first generation leader and his guardian fighting in the bedroom in the middle of the night in his mind, and pressed back the passion that surged up for no reason into his dantian , "It was quite an exciting meeting experience."

Seeing the night getting darker, Spedo felt that the environment was not suitable for further conversations, so he drove Gangji back.Before leaving, don't forget to tell her one thing:

"There is a banquet next week, which is hosted by a trading partner of Pengele, and Giotto wants to take you there."

Tsuna, who was originally sleepy, disappeared after digesting this sentence, and his eyes widened: "Me?"

"It's not...very important, is it?" She asked tentatively again.

"It's very important," Spedo said slowly, "That businessman also has contacts with our hostile family. It is very important for us to confirm the continuation of the contract."

Then why bring her on this occasion?

Tsuna didn't understand, and unfortunately Spedo couldn't explain any more to her.Among the guardians, G will help in the handling of family affairs, but it is Giotto himself who makes the final decision. It is really confusing whether this decision is a whim or another plan.

"Maybe, it's for..." He showed a thoughtful expression, glanced at the confusion on Gangji's face inadvertently, and then shrugged, "It's nothing, maybe I just want to show you, if you want Staying in the family, some things cannot be avoided, it is better to get in touch early."

At the end, he added with a half-smile: "Our leader really values ​​you, Eleanor."

……

After saying good night to each other, Gang Ji walked to his room with thoughts racing through him, thinking deeply.

When she left, although Spedo was smiling, she took a second glance inadvertently, and found that the smile did not reach her eyes. On the contrary, the eyes that contained the biggest secret of the illusionist revealed the melancholy that gradually emerged .

It seems that the situation is very serious.Tsuna made such a judgment almost by intuition without much effort.

Hope the guy doesn't get sick.

Tsuna-kichi worries about having trouble sleeping tonight.

A lot of more complicated and troublesome problems came to her. Although she believed that Peng Li's safety would be resolved smoothly under the hands of the first-generation family, it was obvious that there were other things that deserved her attention now.

It would be great if Li Baoun was here, she who is not good at thinking and looking forward and backward would not have to rack her brains for these things but could not get an answer, but would leave everything to him with confidence.

When the door was opened, Xue Xiao who swooped down from behind his head passed by Gang Ji's hair with a whoosh, and entered the room first.Gangji sighed while closing the door, looking at the big bird at his feet combing its feathers, feeling even more melancholy.

"Muku, when are you planning to come out?"
