I am BOSS! ～fine～[Tutor KHR]

"Brother Dino suddenly summoned us, what happened?"

Walking side by side with Gokuji and Yamamoto on the aisle of the cruise ship, Tsuna could not help but ask Ribaun who was walking in front of him.

"Who knows?"

However, what Li Baoen gave Gang Ji was an answer that could not be an answer.

It has been more than 5 minutes since Suzuna was hit by the rocket launcher ten years later and disappeared.In order to eliminate the bad premonition in his heart, Tsunayoshi originally planned to search the entire cruise ship to find Suzuna's trace.Although Tsunayoshi's intuition clearly told him: Suzuna is not on this cruise ship.

—— Tsunaki really can't do nothing, just quietly waiting for Suzuna to appear again is tantamount to torture for him.What's more, whether Suzuna will return to this world or this cruise ship is still unknown.

But at this time, Bourne brought the message that Dino was summoning everyone on the cruise ship.Tsuna could only temporarily put aside the idea of ​​looking for Suzuna, and followed Li Baoen to the hall.

"That person doesn't seem like someone who can do nothing and play tricks... Well, anyway, listen to what he has to say."

Putting his hands behind his head, Liao Ping said this.His words made Tsunaji and Yuji look surprised at the same time.

"What, what?! Octopus head?!"

Unhappy to be looked at by the prison temple with that surprised look like looking at a rare and strange animal, Liao Ping immediately stared back at the prison temple.

"No, I was just thinking 'Caopingtou can occasionally speak human words!'..."

"What?! Haven't I been speaking human language?! Octopus head!"

Seeing that the prison temple was reconciled and raised the bar again, Gangji hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Well... now is not the time to talk about these things. Master prison temple and elder brother, calm down..."

"If Judaime said so..."

"If Sawada said so..."

Prison Temple and Liaoping spoke in unison.The two looked at each other quickly, and then each said "Humph!" and turned their backs to each other.

Leaving behind a group of noisy teenagers, Li Baoen, who didn't care when Gang Ji and others would follow his footsteps, more or less guessed the reason why Dino summoned everyone.

Dino has never been good at hiding his sincerity since before.As his governess, Riboun knew himself better than Dino himself.Dino clearly felt fear, anxiety and more guilt in the sight of Dino staring at Suzuna's back. He had already noticed that there was something between Dino and Suzuna that he didn't know. Li Baoen knew that Dino now The meeting must have something to do with Suzuna's disappearance.And the incident that caused Dino's fear, anxiety and guilt is also related to Suzuna's disappearance this time.

Stepping into the hall with baby fat short legs, Li Baoen slightly raised his eyebrows: GIOTTO and his guardians, Rainbow Son, Zhengyi, Spana, Johnny II, Bailan, Zhen Liuhanghua And it was not what he expected that the members of the two Balians gathered here.

"what happened……?!"

Even Gang Ji was startled by the battle in front of him.

click-

Behind Gangji, footsteps stopped.As soon as Tsuna turned his head, he saw the young prison temple who was as stunned as himself, and the young Yamamoto, Bagir, Lal and Simon's family who followed behind the young prison temple.

"Why is everyone...?"

Tsuna is now less and less aware of Dino's intentions.And the people gathered in front of him also strengthened the ominous premonition in Tsunayoshi's heart—the last time the same members gathered in this hall, what everyone learned was the news that Suzuna had died ten years later.And now...

(Even XANXUS is in——)

Tsuna could not suppress the uneasiness that spread in her heart.Looking around, he swallowed silently.

"So, what are you going to say to us, Dino."

Li Baoen jumped onto the sofa without any politeness.Dino, who sat on the sofa with his head down and looked at his feet, moved his shoulders slightly.

"--I,"

Slowly raising his head, Dino, who crossed his hands on his forehead as if praying, said something that surprised everyone.

"I know where Suzuna is."

"?!"

Tsuna Kichi's breathing paused for a second, and the next second Tsuna Kichi subconsciously yelled: "Brother Dino, why didn't you tell us in the first place?! What happened to Suzuna-senpai?! She—"

Halfway through, the eager Tsunayoshi realized the fact that he had ignored before: "...No, wait a minute, Brother Dino, how did you know where Suzuna-senpai is?"

"..."

Dino didn't answer Tsunaki's question right away, he just gritted his teeth hard.

"Tell it all, Dino. Isn't that why you called us here?"

There was no expression on Baby Fat's face, but the coercion emanating from Li Baoen was stronger than usual: "You have summoned so many people not just to tell them that you know where Suzuna is. You still have something you want these people to do for you, right?"

The wind silently covered his mouth.It was rare to see Li Baoen throwing questions to others one after another in such a threatening tone, and he knew that Li Baoen was not as calm as he appeared.

Dino's shoulders moved a few times.As if he had made some great determination, he quickly bowed his head to everyone: "Please everyone!! Please bring Suzuna back!!"

"—?!"

In the eyes of everyone, Dino frowned and closed his eyes, saying: "Suzuna was in the world six years ago!"

"Six years ago..."

"world?!"

The stunned Tsunayoshi and the equally astonished Kikuji looked at each other, and the two of them, together with Yamamoto and others, looked at Dino who raised his eyes.

"six years ago,"

"I met Suzuna again in Italy, and then I—"

Dino didn't deliberately conceal what he had done in the past, nor did he want to find some reason to excuse himself.Never thought that this feeling would be exposed to the eyes of other people besides Suzuna, Dino didn't know what words to use to describe what he had done, and what kind of mood he was holding at that time.

"—I can't go back."

Suppressing her headache, Suzuna got up from the big bed, her pale face tripped over the quilt when she got out of bed, almost rolled off the bed and fell to the ground.

"Suzuna!"

Dino, who brought water and painkillers for Suzuna, put the tray aside, strode forward and hugged Suzuna's thin body.Without his subordinates by his side, Dino is useless. He only wanted to hug Suzuna, but he didn't think about how to stabilize his body, so the two of them fell to the ground together.

"It hurts, hurts, hurts..."

The whole body was covered with Suzuna's soft body, and it took a while for Dino to get up dizzy, thankful that there was a thick carpet in this bedroom.

The hand that was supposed to hold the floor trembled violently when it touched the hair that was obviously softer than the carpet.Dino's eyes widened, and only then did he realize that his whole body was on Suzuna's body.

"Yes, sorry!!"

Apologizing loudly, Dino hastily stood up and looked at Suzuna who was lying on the carpet: "Did you hit the back of your head?! Or where?! Suzuna, do you have any pain?!"

He didn't quite know what he asked. Dino, who only had the thought of "quickly make sure that Suzuna is safe and well", repeatedly asked Suzuna if she hit something and if there was any pain. While reaching out to Suzuna, trying to lift Suzuna up from the carpet.

"……go back……"

An extremely weak voice gently floated out of Suzuna's thin lips.

"I think……"

Suzuna, who had never shown her vulnerable side in front of Dino, covered her eyes with the back of her hand.And under the back of her hand, a crystal liquid slid down the corner of her eyes.

"I think, go back..."

A slight sobbing sound reached Dino's ears.That sound made Dino's heart contract violently.

"I want to go back to everyone..."

(……go back?)

Dino seemed to hear something coming from the back of his mind.

(why?)

(Obviously I am here.)

(Mingming has always been with me.)

(Why do you want to go back?)

(Why do you want to go back to "everyone's side"?)

(Can't I?)

(Can't I?)

(Am I not part of "everyone"?)

It was as if hundreds of voices exploded in Dino's mind at the same time.Dino had never thought about it, or it should be said that he had been avoiding and not thinking about it, and it exploded in Dino's mind all at once.

"Suzuna, you..."

(...Are you so unwilling to be with me?)

Dino's lips were trembling, Dino's fingers were trembling, and Dino's heart was trembling.

(Then, what am I in your heart?)

Not knowing what he wanted to do or what he was about to do, Dino stretched out his hand towards Suzuna in a daze.

(Then... what is my feeling for you?!)

wait.pray.wait.

One day, two days, one year, two years...

Praying in endless waiting.Hopelessly waiting in prayer for the miracle to happen again without knowing when.Not even sure that the miracle will happen again, I can only watch the time go by.

Before I knew it, five years had passed.He has become a mafia leader who can act on his own, but Suzuna is still exactly the same as when he first met.Dino is not stupid, he can't find any changes in Suzuna, he knows that the time trajectory of Suzuna and himself is different.The period of overlap in the lives of the two is very short.

"Want to go back?"

Dino stopped trembling when he saw the moment Suzuna nodded with tears in her eyes while she closed her eyes.

Initially it was several months.

Then came a few years.

How long will Suzuna disappear this time?

ten years?

20 years?

50 years?

(No,)

(It is "This time, will Suzuna appear in front of my eyes again?".)

No one knows what the future holds.There is no guarantee that Dino Gabrione will meet Hojo Suzuna again.No one can promise Dino Gabrielone: ​​Suzuna Hojo will be by his side for a long time in the future.

If you let go of this hand——

"I understand."

Suddenly, Dino smiled.
