"W-what!?" Your eyes widened at the news. "You can't be serious, Gramps!"
"Well? What do you think?" The Ninth gave you the smile you were very familiar with by now. You've been given a task you can't refuse, but...
"This is an important job you're giving me... And I've only trained with Nevan for a little while. Can't you ask someone else with more experience?"
"No, because I know you can handle this assignment. I believe this is also a good chance for you to enjoy yourself while you train."
You stood in front of his desk in a daze. He's asking you to protect his grandson, the future boss of the Vongola Family. The future boss of the Vongola Family. "I don't know... I can't even speak Japanese. I'm afraid I will feel out of place there."
"Iemitsu will give you lessons during your flight. Of course, you will also learn while you live there. You will attend school with Tsuna. I'm sure you two will get along well." He stood up and patted you on the shoulder. "Any objections?"
You shook your head. Not like you can refuse by now. "About Reborn..."
"What about him?"
"He is THE Reborn, right?" You heard about him often. He's a well known hitman.
The Ninth chuckled. "Yes, he is. You will learn plenty from him."
"The thought of working with him is intimidating." You looked down at the floor.
"He may be different than what you think." And with that, you've been sent to Namimori, Japan.
"Hey, are you listening to me?" Iemitsu gave you a stern look and stopped in the middle of your language lesson. You've been looking outside the window for a few minutes.
"Sorry... I'm just a little out of it. This task was suddenly thrown at me, and I feel very anxious."
"It was, but believe it or not, it has been planned for a long time." He softened his gaze. "You will be looking after my son. I trust you. I know you will do fine."
You nodded. "Thank you."
*Italics within the dialogue will now indicate Italian.
When you arrived in Japan, one of Iemitsu's assistants drove you to the Sawada residence. You asked him why he wouldn't come with you, but he just laughed and waved you off.
You walked up to the house, luggage in hand, and... The door is open? You couldn't help but walk in with curiosity. "Sorry for intruding-"
"AAAAAAAAAAHH REBORN!"
"Tsuna, you really are no-good."
You stood at the entrance with a loss for words. Within the next few moments, a brunette crashed down the stairs to your right. A small infant with a yellow pacifier jumped onto him.
"Oh, this must be [Name]. Welcome, we've been expecting you." The infant can speak Italian!? W-what?
"Don't give me that look. Did the Ninth not tell you what I look like now? Well, then again..."
Your jaw nearly dropped. "Y-you're Reborn? The hitman, Reborn?"
"Yes."
"U-um... Reborn... Who is this?" Tsuna sat up and looked at you in confusion. "What are you guys saying?"
Reborn cleared his throat. "This is [Name]. She will..." You couldn't understand most of what he was saying, but you thought it was regarding your job as Tsuna's protector.
"HEEEEEEEE!?" Tsuna was now on his feet, and he looked at you in fear. Reborn... What in the world did you tell him?
Not knowing how to react, you just stood there and stared at him awkwardly. Finally, you decided to introduce yourself properly. "H-hello... I'm [Name]. Nice to meet you, Tsuna."
He hesitantly nodded. "N-nice to meet you, too. So, you will be staying here?"
"Yes."
Reborn started up the stairs. "Come. I will show you to your room. Starting tomorrow, you will attend Namimori High with Tsuna, but remember, you are on duty."
You followed him and stopped in front of your room. "If he has you, why would I be needed?"
He gave you a blank look. "Did he not tell you, or do you not remember? It is part of your training. Also..." He paused for a while before continuing. "This world is more dangerous than you think."
"I don't understand..."
"You will." He began to walk back to the first floor. "Dinner will be ready soon."
