People snatch it away. "

My face immediately became hot: "Don't say such embarrassing things!" In order to hide the rising temperature, I hurriedly changed the subject, "By the way, didn't you say that Miss Amaya has someone she likes? Could it be Senior Prison Temple? Speaking of which, why is she here?"

Tsuna-kichi glanced at me, patted my head, and sighed in his voice: "Because of Sakura-san's matter, some follow-up needs to be dealt with."

follow-up?

I hadn't figured out what the "follow-up" he was talking about required a young lady from a mafia family to travel all the way to deal with it, so I met Amaya in casual clothes on campus the next day.

She tied up her seaweed-like curly hair today, making her look more dry and fresh. Coupled with that white face, she made a lot of heads along the way.

When I saw her, she was coming out of the library with two books in her arms. Out of politeness, I also greeted her, and she immediately warmly gave me a kiss: "Ciao, Miss Tsuna !"

"You, you are fine." I was stunned for a few seconds before I smiled, "Why is Miss Amaya here alone? Is she here to visit our school?"

"Visiting? Nope~" The brown-haired girl raised her index finger and shook it mysteriously, "I'm a student of this school from today, I'm really excited just thinking about it!"

"Eh? Ehh—so suddenly?!"

Amaya looked at me with a smile, and said meaningfully: "Miss Tsuna doesn't seem very happy?"

"I'm sorry, I was just a little scared..." I hurriedly waved my hand and explained, "I thought you just came to Japan to play in order to deal with Senior Sakura's affairs."

"It's really to deal with the funeral left by Hiiragi." She curled her mouth, nodding her cheeks as if thinking about something, "I can't do it without someone looking after me here in Kyoto."

Almost immediately I realized what she was referring to.

At that time, Senior Sakura stayed with Tsunayoshi and the others as a member of the Vongola Alliance family. Now that she is gone, Amaya takes her place.

However, something always felt wrong.

I looked up at her, and she was looking at me, her brown eyes were as quiet as deep mountains and lakes, calm and calm.I blinked and said with a smile: "I'm going to find a few tutorial books, so I'll go ahead."

Amaya nodded, still smiling brightly: "Then don't bother, Ciao~"

I turned and walked towards the library, resisting the urge to look back.With the reflection of the sun, I saw that her figure reflected on the glass door was still looking sideways at me, and turned away after a while.

What's wrong with it?

I really can't figure it out.

Didn't she lose her most trusted subordinate and best friend?Why can he still behave so calmly when mentioning that matter?

Goal 63 Bar Mitzvah

In this way, the winter vacation came in my uneasy suspicion.This year, as usual, Gangji and the others went back to Bingsheng as usual, Toru and I also went back to the orphanage, and Amaya flew back to Italy alone.

Not long after the New Year, Toh's 20th birthday came quietly.

According to the regulations of the orphanage, every child living here has to move out to live alone when they become adults, so the 20th birthday is also a farewell party for everyone.

In order to celebrate the birthday, everyone got ready early, the restaurant was newly decorated, and various colorful ribbons made by the girls were hung up.

On January 1th, I went out to the city early in the morning to pick up the pre-ordered cake. When I came back, I found a familiar car parked outside the orphanage.Before I entered the living room, I heard Bai Lan's grinning voice: "I came here specially to celebrate Xiao Tou's birthday~"

While guessing the twitching face of Tou Dan, I walked in with the cake: "If you don't bring a gift, I will kick you out, Bai Lan."

"Ozu is so cute, why would I come here without a gift~" The white-haired man sat on the sofa and raised his head, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, "This is the birthday of the important Xiaotou~"

I was about to ask him whether the word "important" was used to describe Xiaotou or birthday, when the children rushed over and surrounded Bai Lan asking for candies and chocolates.Bai Lan only showed a little fuss at such times, but her attitude was still leisurely.

Xiaoyou stood on the side and looked at them hesitantly, noticed my gaze, and suddenly blushed: "I... I'll help you carry the cake to the restaurant!"

I looked at her and then at Bai Lan who was playing with the children, and couldn't help laughing: "You haven't seen Bai Lan for a long time, so if you want to talk, just say it."

A ball of hot air burst out from the top of the girl's head. She reproached me and punched me twice on the arm, stomping her feet anxiously: "I'm not! Why have you become so annoying, Ozu!"

"Oh, don't hit me!" I laughed, and hurriedly fled the scene with the cake.

The courtyard connecting the dining room and the living room is still covered with snow, and the cool air carries the smell of food passing by. I stopped in the corridor, and suddenly something seemed to rise up, and I felt a faint loneliness in my chest. .

From today onwards, Tou will leave this orphanage and officially set foot in the society. Only then did I realize that we have really grown up and have reached the age when we have to live alone.The road ahead and the choices that must be made will all be faced by one person.

"click"

There was a knock at the living room door, and I turned my head to see the boy with short brown hair turn around and close the door.He tilted his head to look at me, and the corner of his mouth slipped into a slightly mocking arc: "Why are you still standing here?"

"Ah... I thought of something." I sniffled and suppressed a sneeze, "Tou, do you plan to stay in Kyoto and continue to be a photographer?"

Zhen Chai came to me and looked at the yard casually: "I still have to go to school, of course I have to stay here."

"I mean after graduation..."

He paused for a moment, probably thinking: "Who knows... But it's rare for a person to have a hobby, so it's better to continue."

We stood side by side under the corridor, looking at the silent courtyard together.Time seems to have returned to more than ten years ago, we were still young, and the world was only the size of this orphanage.He took my hand, pointed to this courtyard, and told me, this will be your home from now on.

"Tou, you must work hard in the future."

"You don't need to tell me I will."

"Don't run away with Bai Lan."

"...You are really enough."

My birthday is just one month away, and like Tou at that time, the entire orphanage prepared gifts and a farewell party for me.

I cleaned up the room I used to live in, and sent all my luggage to the apartment I rented with Tou. Looking at the empty room at this time, I thought about the memories I left here for more than ten years. More or less at a loss.

Just then the phone in the bag rang.As soon as I picked it up, Tsunayoshi said cheerfully on the other side of the microphone: "Tsuna ちゃん, are you still in the orphanage? I've already booked a restaurant for dinner."

"Ah! Sorry." I hurriedly turned my head to look at the clock on the wall, it was already evening, "I'll go find you right now."

"It's okay, shall I pick you up at the station?" Gang Ji asked with concern, "Speaking of which, there is still time after dinner. Is there any place you want to go?"

Place you want to go?

I was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "...the bar, can I go?"

"……Eh?"

At ten o'clock in the evening, Gang Ji took me to find a bar near the school.I heard that this shop is very popular among the students of our school, and because it is aimed at young students, the cocktails in it are relatively mild.

To be honest, I just had a whim at the beginning, but I didn't expect that Gang Ji would really bring me here.I took his hand and walked up the stairs leading to the rooftop bar, and asked, "Have you been to this store before?"

"Well..." Tsuna touched his nose with his free hand, "I've been here a few times with the seniors in the department, and they all like to come here to celebrate when the group assignments are over."

"Hey! I heard the senior sister in the laboratory mention it before, so it's here?"

While talking, we have come to the top floor of the building. This bar is located on the roof terrace. The space inside the bar is not too big. There is a row of people sitting in front of the bar. Whispering in the cold as the jazz band played.

The waiter arranged for us to sit down at the last two seats by the wall. Tsuna Yoshi took out the drink list under the bar and asked me in a low voice: "Tsuna ちゃん Is it really better to try low-alcohol cocktails first? These fruit flavors more suitable for girls."

He lowered his head slightly, and the charming lights in the bar spread over his head like a veil, dyeing his cheeks a layer of orange red.I nodded and said with a smile: "I don't really understand this, please help me."

"Then this...Tequilas sunrise." Tsunayoshi beckoned to the bartender and ordered the same drink for himself.

The bartender quickly brought two empty glasses in front of us, put ice cubes in them, and at the same time fluently added various ingredients into the mixing glasses, prepared, poured, and added orange slices and cherries, all in one go.

The orange-red liquid swayed gently in the cup, and from the bottom of the cup to the top, there was a gradient from red to orange, which was worthy of the name like summer sunshine.

"It is said that the name of this wine comes from the sunrise in Mexico, the hometown of tequila, one of the raw materials."
