Did I Do Something Wrong by Staying Alive Through Cuddles in the Vongola Family?

[Blurb still undecided, ongoing revisions]

The frail Xuecun Qi, whose life was hanging by a thread, transmigrated to Namimori, a town that seemed utterly ordinary but was actually crawling with Mafia. Then he was told, "You have to get physically close to the strong to gain life points!"

Xuecun Qi looked at his own dainty paws. "Meow?"

Well, if he wanted to survive, he had to give it his all!

When he nervously rubbed against the disciplinary committee member's leg, Xuecun Qi was picked up by the scruff. Just as his ears flattened with fear, he was tucked into the committee chairman's pocket, where he came face to face with a little yellow bird.

Tsunayoshi, scratching a kitten's head by the roadside, blinked. "Maybe we could take him home to play with Lambo..."

The little baby held a teacup and met the kitten's gaze. "Ciao."

The silver-haired boy, who looked like he had a terrible temper, grumbled as he held the kitten's paw. "What? You insist on coming home with me? Fine, I suppose I can allow it."

The future Rain Guardian scratched his head. "But it looks like you're the one kidnapping it to take it home..."

"It's the one insisting on coming home with me!" the silver-haired boy shouted.

He might have been more convincing if he hadn't turned so red and gotten his hands and feet all mixed up after seeing Xuecun Qi in human form.

Of course, Xuecun Qi thought his days would have been practically perfect if he hadn't run into a certain illusionist, and if he hadn't had to enter a certain Varia boss's dream, get called trash, and turn back into a cat.

Until one day, Xuecun Qi accidentally stumbled into the Ten-Year Bazooka. The adult version of the disciplinary committee chairman held him as if he were a lover he had lost and found again.

Yet five minutes later, he was back beside the chairman as a boy. The young chairman pressed a finger to the red marks on his neck and asked impassively, "Who did this?"

The second time he ended up ten years in the future, he was on a bed, where he saw the Tenth's panicked expression.

The... On what he no longer knew was which trip to the future, Xuecun Qi found himself beside a young man with white hair and purple eyes. The man seemed completely unsurprised by his arrival and smiled at him. "Welcome to the future, to this world that never existed..."

From these people's reactions, Xuecun Qi began to understand something. It seemed that his future self... was already dead.

★★★★

①★ All characters adore the protagonist, who attracts a crowd of admirers, including but not limited to those mentioned above. Please expect out-of-character behavior and plenty of author-invented details. There is both romance and friendship, but lots of romantic interest. The characters from ten years earlier are younger, while those in the future arc are older.

② This is mostly everyday life. Everything serves the romance and cuddling. It's a fluffy, brainless read; the main plot is purely background, and the protagonist just passes through without taking part.

③ No malicious bashing of the original characters. The author is a wholehearted fan of Katekyo Hitman Reborn!

④ No roleplaying as characters, no dream-inserts, and no mentioning other pairings. Comments that do so may be deleted!

Theme: Don't go into debt. It's hard to pay back.
