I am BOSS! ～fine～[Tutor KHR]

"By the way, this is a gift for Miss Shashu and Zhengjun."

Suzuna said as she took out a pair of couple wallets.Brand is a top luxury brand that most people know.

"And these... presents for Mr. Shizuo, Mr. Tom, Miss Celty and Mr. Silla..."

So a bunch of large and small luxury goods were piled up on the table.

"Wow...are these expensive?"

Teijin couldn't help but ask such a sentence.As one of the urban legends, the founder of DOLLARS, an underground organization that permeates the entire Ikebukuro colorlessly and transparently, Teijin is an out-and-out poor student in his daily life.According to his economic level, he needs to save money for at least half a year to buy such a wallet.

"It's not very expensive to buy these in Italy."

Suzuna neither deliberately raised the value of the gifts she bought for Masaomi and Shashu, nor deliberately lowered the value of these gifts.She was simply stating the facts.

Suzuna's only trouble is: "I'm really sorry that I didn't buy gifts for Teijin-san and Anri-san..."

"You've only known this guy for a few days? Isn't it natural that you forgot to buy him a gift~?"

Zheng Chen, who was still lying on the table, raised his hand and shook it twice.It took him a while to raise his face weakly and said: "It's Suzuna-chan...is it really okay to spend money so recklessly? It's okay for Shizuo Heiwajima, why do other people have gifts? Your friend, I But I hope you will only give me a gift."

"Uh, uh...no problem, about the money..."

Suzuna had no choice but to tell Zhengchen: "These are the rewards I got for handling the family's problems." She had no choice but to say to Zhengchen: "This, these are bought with my part-time job..."

"Hmm...? Is that so."

With a long nasal voice, Zhengchen said thoughtfully: "The wages over there are really good~"

"Um……"

Unnaturally following the curly hair on the forehead, Suzuna forced a smile.

The world of the mafia, no, it should be said that the world of adults is far more complicated than Suzuna imagined.This was only realized after Suzuna went deep into the veteran mafia family of Pengo Lie.Various interest networks are mixed in the intricate interpersonal relationship.As long as a certain interest network is slightly touched, people related to this interest network will sensitively show their fangs and claws in an attempt to protect their own interests.And behind each person there are more people and more interest networks.

To be honest, Suzuna felt extremely tired from joining Vongola and becoming a member of Vengola.

Timoteo, the ninth-generation leader of Vengley, became weaker and weaker day by day.He was weakening at a visible speed, and now he would not be able to handle family affairs without the help of Tsunayoshi's father, Peng Geli's ninth-generation outside advisor, and Sawada Iemitsu.The problem is that this behavior of TIMOTEO has aroused the dissatisfaction of many family elders.

——Although Jiaguang is a blood relative of Pengo Lie, after all, he is only an "outside consultant" who can obtain the same rights as the leader only in special periods, not a "guardian" who is always at the core of power.

In addition, it is almost a certainty that Jiaguang's son Gang Ji will be the tenth generation leader of Pengelie.None of Gangji's guardians is an orthodox Vongola member.Not only that, but among Tsunayoshi's guardians are Liu Dao Mu, who once massacred the mafia and regarded the mafia as a thorn in his side; and Rambo, who was originally the killer of the Povino family.

None of Vongola's veterans are worried that once Vengola's power core starts to be replaced, their status will be lost.As soon as they thought that the savages of the island country would take this opportunity to take away their status and rights and enjoy the glory and wealth instead of themselves, these veterans could not wait to immediately eliminate CEDEF, an outside advisory organization headed by Jiaguang, and abolish Gang Ji as Peng Lie. Qualifications for candidates for the tenth generation leader.

As a family member recognized by TIMOTEO, Suzuna, who belongs to the outside advisory organization CEDEF, is not having an easy life.None of the jobs that the elders gave CEDEF were good jobs.Sometimes, as long as you take over, no matter what the result is, you will offend many people.Sometimes it is very dangerous, and a slight mistake will affect the work of many people.Sometimes it is not difficult, but it consumes the perseverance, mental strength and combat effectiveness of CEDEF members.In short, most of the tasks CEDEF received from within the family during this period were malicious tasks.

Iemitsu gave Suzuna the right to choose what to do or not to do, but the current situation did not give Suzuna the choice of what to do.Suzuna, Baguier, Olegano and other CEDEF members who decided to follow Iemitsu and never give up can only perform their missions while hoping that the sincerity shown by CEDEF will make the veterans of Vongola stop this kind of behavior. pointless behavior.

"...Na, Suzuna!"

"Ah! Yes! Sorry!"

After recovering from Masaomi's call, Suzuna remembered that she was still sitting in the restaurant of "Lucia Sushi" with Masaomi and Teito.

"Are you really okay?"

Looking worried, he approached Suzuna, and Masaomi frowned and said, "You look so ugly...... Did you have a good rest over there?"

Hearing this, Suzuna smiled.

"Yes, I have."

In order not to worry her friend, Suzuna lied.With a very natural attitude.

Once upon a time, Suzuna, who was not good at lying, has become able to lie without blinking like she is now.Suzuna doesn't think this is an "improvement", but she can't go back to the past when she was not good at lying.

"There is an eight-hour time difference between Italy and Japan. I'm still not used to the time difference, so I don't look energetic. That's all."

"is it?"

In Masaomi's memory, Suzuna was still the girl who was as innocent as a piece of paper, and he didn't doubt Suzuna's words.

"Then do you want me to take you back to the hotel to rest?"

"Hmm. I'm sorry for your inconvenience, Masamune."

In order not to let Masaomi notice the strangeness, Suzuna did not refuse Masaomi's proposal.As if wearing a mask that kept smiling on her face, Suzuna suppressed the smile on her face until she was sent back to the hotel by Masaomi and Teijin and watched Masaomi and Teijin leave.

"..."

With a sound that sounded like a sigh, Suzuna fell onto the soft |bed|.The night view on the 35th floor of the hotel was beautiful, but Suzuna was too tired to enjoy the view.

(This is the path I chose myself.)

(If it’s for Tsuna-kun and the others——)

Suzuna chose because she wanted a future where she didn't have to be separated from her companions, at least not from most of them.She didn't have any regrets about joining Vongola and becoming a mafia, and Suzuna didn't think her choice was wrong until this moment.

At this time, Suzuna Hojo was less than two months away from her 20th birthday.

The 19-year-old Suzuna did not expect that in the eyes of herself six years later, the 19-year-old self was extremely naive and ignorant.

Six years later, CEDEF headquarters in Italy——

"You're handsome, Gang-jun."

Staring tenderly at the young man in front of her, Suzuna, who has been a member of Vongola for seven years, reflected a shy Tsunakichi in her green eyes.

This day, Tian Gangji was wearing a black suit that he was not used to, and he was wearing spotlessly polished black leather shoes. He also had a red rose on his chest that was strongly recommended by Prison Temple.

Suzuna and Tsunayoshi are in Suzuna's office.In the past six years, Suzuna has grown from a rookie at CEDEF to a well-deserved candidate for the next outside consultant.Even the Veterans of Vongola, who extremely rejected CEDEF, could not find a reason to criticize Suzuna.

Including Bajir, who is also a "candidate outside consultant" in name, he respects Suzuna very much.The members of the independent assassination unit Balian, who ignored the words of the current leader Timoteo, were also quite close to Suzuna.I have received great support from the current outside consultant Jiaguang, as well as the BOSS Dino of the Alliance Family Gabrielone, the boss Kori Yanzhen of the Simon Family, the BOSS Yoni of the Gironiero Family, and Bai Lan of the Jesso Family. In the party world, no one would dare to underestimate Suzuna, who was considered very young.

And Suzuna's ability to reach this point is not simply because she doesn't want to be separated from her companions.In the past six years, Suzuna, who has gradually penetrated into the world of the mafia, gradually saw the true face of the "inside society".

Deceit, betrayal, and murder are commonplace.Drugs, illegal drug trade, human trafficking, organized prostitution, and arms reselling are also happening every day.Collusion between the government and businessmen, and black and white being one and the same, so much that Suzuna, who was shocked at first, was already numb.

At first, Suzuna didn't understand the difference between the mafia in the "inside world" and the political and businessmen in the "outside world".Both do pretty much the same thing.But the only people who are regarded as villains are people in the "other world".

But Suzuna couldn't do anything even though she thought it was unfair.Don't talk about changing the world, a mere Hojo Suzuna can't even change the old ideas of those Vongola veterans.

"Senior, senior... please don't make fun of me!"

Tsunayoshi in front of Suzuna is still so innocent.With poor grades and barely graduating from college, he became unemployed as soon as he graduated.Unable to accept the aid from the prison temple, and unable to find a suitable job to support himself like Yamamoto, Tsuna eventually entered Vongola and became a member of Vengola.

"Pfft~ yes~"

Suzuna, who chuckled a few times, didn't explain to Gang Ji that she didn't make fun of him, she just suppressed the complicated feelings in her heart and smiled: "... Then Gang Jun will officially become a member of Pengo Lie Woolen cloth."

"I will not be a mafia, nor will I be the boss of a mafia!"

Hearing Suzuna mentioned Vongola, Tsuna retorted almost instinctively.

Although Gang Ji joined Pengelie and became a member of Pengelie, Gang Ji did not directly join Pengelie.Gang Ji entered Peng Gelie's industrial organization as an ordinary employee.As long as they don't encounter major problems enough to destabilize Pengelie, these industrial organizations are far away from the bloody storms in the other world.

"Hmm~"

Suzuna nodded slightly.She helped Gangji tidy up the crooked tie, she thought that as long as Gangji maintained the current state, she would be fine.

(Tsuna-kun is not suitable for this world.)
