บท 15: I am popular

I've been here for a while now and the story continues to follow its rhythm, Tsuna finally met I-Pin, Haru Shamal, and Dino and I have to say that my presence didn't affect things too much even if I took a little advantage of these occasions.

And now I have to face Hibari every morning before the beginning of the classes on the roof, we became good friends and we sometimes come back together in the evening. (We don't talk but at least he doesn't attack me and with Hibari, it's already something).

It was nice to see Dino again when he came to see Tsuna, we had met in the past a few times and I must say that he didn't change. I had also done business with him and his family and I helped him with a fairly substantial financial support to raise his family to the second rank of the alliance (in the original story Dino managed to raise it to the 3rd rank of the alliance) and I allowed his family to have a solid financial basis to expand in exchange of a certain percentage of their activities, I can't have all my assets on the financial markets or I would fear ruin if something happens.

My meeting with Shamal didn't go as well as with Dino, considering that he is a real womanizer he necessarily resented me for being so popular with women, nevertheless, he is maybe the best independent doctor in the mafia world and so I took the opportunity to have him immunize me against many diseases (he injects 2 diseases with opposite effects that oppose and cancel each other to immunize the body to both diseases).

Of course, in order for him to make an exception to his rule of treating only women, I had to write him a nice check and give him a booklet filled with numbers from several models I met during some of my business trips to finance some companies and fashion designers who were going to be successful with a little push.

I also developed some hypothesis about Nana, it seems that like Bianchi with her 'poison cooking', she unconsciously uses dying flames, the fact that no misfortune comes to bother her (while tsuna is always pursued by all kind of creatures even when they dare side by side) and her kind temperament makes me think that she unconsciously releases flames from the sky to harmonize with all the beings in her vicinity (people as well as animals).

Valentine's day was quite hectic and quite tiring when there were 3 groups of girls following me, Gokudera and Yamamoto (I found out when I received chocolates that Hana Kyoko's friend in high school was interested in me, it seems I'm her type of man), and it was quite adorable when Hibari accepted chocolates from I-pin who exploded afterward from shyness.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently, I'm reading a book in my living room while listening to some music when someone rang the doorbell.

'Strange, I don't often receive visitors.'

Behind the door was a little boy carrying a big book with 'Ranking' written on the cover.

'It must be 'Ranking Fuuta' with its 100% accurate rankings' I thought when I saw him.

Me: "Who are you? Would you be lost?"

Fuuta: "Please help me Lambo-nii, I am being chased. "

Me: "Come in for a hot chocolate and we'll talk."

After settling down he explained to me that a group of a small mafia family was chasing him for his rankings.

Me: "Don't worry, I'll take care of that, but why didn't you go to Tsuna to protect yourself?"

Fuuta: "Lambo-nii is ranked 2nd as a person who can protect me and 12th out of 852 as a trustworthy person."

When I heard that, I understood his reasoning and I took him to Tsuna's house before Fuuta went into 'Ranking Mode' and made all the objects in my house levitate.

I then went to take care of the people chasing him but it was not very difficult, it was only a small family, but I saw one of the kids that went with Mukuro after the raid many years ago and I understood that if they came in Namimori they should act soon.

Finally, Fuuta decided to stay at Tsuna's house, and when I asked him why he answered that it was because mama-san's food (Nana) is ranked 1st on the most delicious food in the city and because I lived right next door in case of problems.
