[Main Fandom: Katekyo Hitman Reborn!] Yanmo Sawada's Passionate Performance

Note: The Cross bonus chapter has extra sweet moments between Yan Mo and Yan Zhen.

Warning: I made Tsunayoshi severely out of character! Read with caution.

Just as the comments say, I completely warped Tsunayoshi's core, leaving only what I thought was his gentleness. (It wasn't until I was writing the third story in the series that I began to understand how to give the characters this core of "the Sky's acceptance." ) This is an early work, overflowing with adolescent angst (covering my face: I'm still angsty now).

General introduction:

Written without an outline, so there are many plot holes. (Because I kept revising it, I ended up writing a second story, Tsuda Yanmo's Passionate Performance. The second story builds on the first, so aside from the advantage of having a clear romance, it also has plenty of plot holes.) The romantic relationships are a mess, and the protagonist ultimately dies.

■There is a plotline where Tsunayoshi is "married into the family." (I was being ridiculous back then, but I don't want to revise it into yet another version, so I won't revise this book again.)

If you can accept all that and you're out of things to read, give it a try.

Waiting, and waiting again...

How many people are waiting for the puppet show to end?

Struggling, and struggling again...

How many are struggling, yet caught in a web?

Raise your arms and fight!

Smash every shackle!

In a land of darkness, a little warmth.

Countless secrets, glimmers of light.

Beyond the universe, someone waits, shrouded in mystery.

The clouds disperse, revealing a dazzling truth, yet the mystery only deepens.

Revelation, entanglement, longing.

Yearning, pursuit, madness.

The devil begins the game, moving from one place to another on the board, sowing bitter fruit.

The devil joins the game, wandering through the feast, unraveling its mysteries.

When the storm comes, meet it calmly. Every day, the death countdown ticks on!

Thunder crashes, rain pours. The waves rise, and undercurrents swirl!

The banquet is halfway over. It's time for the ball. Put on a dazzling performance and enjoy yourselves! Every last one of you wearing a mask.

At the end: goodbye.

Warnings:

1. A tangled web of relationships, mildly mind-bending.

2. The story begins in childhood, so it takes time to get going.

3. Multiple rebirths, multiple transmigrations, and all sorts of mixed elements.

4. Since I'm writing a series, most of the anime characters in the supporting cast are from other stories in the series. They'll have very minor appearances here, or only exist in dialogue.

5. I've decided to start a new book for this story, because I suddenly realized that this major revision would overturn the entire structure. So I'm changing this book back into an old embarrassing work. Chapters with the title from this version have all been rolled back.

6. This is an unfinished draft, so it's full of plot holes, but it does have a beginning and an end. The new version, Tsuda Yanmo's Passionate Performance, is both a remake and the second installment. It jumps straight into a time rewind and a changed future, while this book tells the story that happened before everything was changed~
