There is a person that always has the ability to make Tsuna feel frightened. Even the aura around him alone can forcefully overwhelm Tsuna. With the ‘education for Tsunayoshi’ granted by Iemitsu and not to mention the teachers in the academy also listened to him so much, Tsuna had the crazy illusion of ‘I have fallen into the enemy’s hands.’
Even when he was not familiar with him at the beginning, in order to correct Tsuna’s habit of sleeping in until late, he could directly take a bucket of cold water, take off the blanket and pour it on him. This happened in the early spring when it was so chilly. He made a dead sleeping person woke up immediately.
But it can be seen from the person’s condescending eyes that if you complain, you will encounter even more terrible things. There was no other thing to do than to meet the standards he expected.
But also thanks to Reborn, in terms of interpersonal communication, learning ability, and physical fitness, Tsunayoshi Sawada has undergone radical changes.
“Not really…” Tsuna showed a complicated smile, “I didn’t ccompletely reject him.”
This is the truth. What Reborn did to himself may be a little bit intense. But it is very effective and has really helped improve his life. No matter what his motivation is, he had benefited a lot from him.
So he was not at all ashamed of calling him his ‘tutor’.
As in the past, no matter how much he complained, Tsuna could only choose to obey. The handover of the deputy director was much more troublesome than the previous handover of the section chief. It was much more than Tsuna had imagined. He didn’t even hold back to ask a question. Since the director would not even come forward for such things as big as market negotiations or as small as presiding over departmental meetings, what exactly does the director do?
“Um… manage people and set the course?”
If he doesn’t even hold a meeting, what shit is he even managing?
Facing Tsuna’s rebuttal, which was about to show his disapproval, Uni chuckled, “Let’s put it this way. The director manages the deputy director. And the deputy director manages the people below.”
Ahhhhhh the bastard’s job sounds so relaxed!
Because of this reason, the handover schedule between Uni and Tsuna has been going on for more than half a month.
Tsuna carefully asked her about Director Hibari’s opinion on his inauguration. Uni was surprised that he would ask this question. But she still answered sincerely, “Director HIbari said that it is interesting.”
… Interesting, what does he mean by this?
This comment is filled with hidden meanings…..
Contrary to Tsuna, Uni has always been in a good mood. She doesn’t seem to be very surprised that Tsuna would take over her job. But she just carefully guides Tsuna to familiarise himself with the work process.
However, her temperament is slowly changing. It was not very obvious. But Tsuna has also noticed it keenly. Although she has not officially resigned, she still wears capable business attire. But now, she no longer wears nail polish, her shoes have changed from high heels to flat shoes, and her accessories have disappeared. She now looked very simple.
If Tsuna were to describe it, it was like a metamorphosis.
The colleagues in the company also have a lot of speculation about her resignation. The gossip ranged from offending the upper management to returning home to inherit the family business. Even Tsuna, who has been closest to her recently, doesn’t know why she resigned.
“Huh?” Uni couldn’t help laughing when she heard Tsuna mentioning these gossips, “It’s not like that. How come there are so many speculations? It would be great if their imaginations are so active and open when they do work.”
Scratching his cheek, Tsuna didn’t mean to mention this in front of her. He just thought Uni had already heard of it, “Uh… Everyone is just sad that you’re leaving, right?”
“Actually, there is nothing to hide. It’s just that no one asked me directly. So I didn’t say anything.” Uni said. She subconsciously stroked her abdomen. There was a gentle smile on her face, “As for me, I plan to spend the next few years focusing on my baby.”
Ba-baby?
As if hearing something unbelievable, Tsuna looked at Uni’s abdomen. He opened his eyes wide. Her stomach was still flat. It was hard to see that there was a new life brewing in it.
“Well, it’s only been two months now. So it’s not that obvious.” Tsuna’s doubtful looks were too obvious. So Uni had to explain, “My family also has the same opinion. Children grow up very fast. Even if we can ask others to help raise the child, the time spent during their childhood is irreplaceable.”
When Uni said so, the smile lines at the corners of her eyes looked beautiful.
Not long ago, he attended Kyoko’s wedding and witnessed the woman turning into a wife. But now Tsuna is quite emotional when facing Uni who is about to become a mother.
Women are wonderful creatures who seem to understand their changing positions at each stage of their life. Each change makes them become so beautiful.
“I hope he’ll be a healthy baby.” Tsuna said sincerely. Uni nodded and thanked him with a smile.
“Regardless,… Maternal love is so great…” As a woman, Uni can sit in this position before she reaches the age of 30, which is already rare in Vongola. Other people might choose to take maternity leave and keep coming back to work.
Tsuna didn’t finish his words. But Uni knew that he meant well. She found out that she was pregnant when she was only one month pregnant. She thought about this decision for a long time. She is very happy with her job now. A lot of things are painted by her colour. Giving up would be a fatal blow to her career.
“Actually, in my opinion, rather than saying that I gave him life, it is better to say that I should thank him for coming to life for me.” The gentleness on her face gradually turned into cherishment. It was as if she talked about the most precious thing in the world for her. “This kind of blood connection is enough to comfort the irretrievable passing of time. It seems that even the days as I get older are no longer cruel. He makes me feel confident and knows where the time I lost has flowed.”
She raised her eyes to look at Tsuna. Her eyes still reflected a warm radiance, “Tsuna-kun will understand this in the future.”
Tsuna, who is still single, feels a bit complicated hearing this sentence.
In addition to taking over the work from Uni one after another, Tsuna also has to hand over the work of the section chief to others. He has already done it once when he was transferred from the planning department to the marketing department. So this time he was really organised. Come to think of it, the target of his handover this time is Fujiwara. The explanation at the time of handover is much easier to be done compared to dealing with other people.
