"Is that so?"
The rapier retracted from Sonya Dmitriev's neck as Hajime recalled the weapon back to its box, dusting off his suit and readjusting his tie. "Fair enough. My name is Hajime Honda, External Advisor of the Vongola Famiglia and Eleventh Leader of CEDEF," he spoke of his status flat with disinterest, his glare remaining dismissive. While it was true that one of the orders of business that Tsuna requested was to locate Sonya Dmitriev, he personally detested those Russian mafioso associated with Mikhail Rusakova.
"I have been entrusted with the task of locating you, Sonya Dmitriev, by the Tsunayoshi Sawada of ten years in the past." Hajime reached into his pocket and pulled out a photograph, his eyes running back and forth between the picture and Sonya herself. "I'm unsure as to why I have been instructed to search for you, but I've no intention in cooperating with a criminal." He squinted as he pieced the differences from the similarities before concluding, "Though, you certainly did mature over the course of ten years."
Twenty years ago, that Russian had been a key factor that lead to the casualties of numerous Vongola and Vongola-affiliated men during the Scouring. Hajime would never forget the long year of international conflict between major criminal syndicates, and when the Vongola Famiglia had stepped in to quell the violence, they had only been forced to retaliate with force as means of suppression and self-defense when their demands for peace had not been heeded. It had been among the first enactments that Tsuna had made as Vongola Decimo, but the same decision to involve the family in such an event had come at the cost of his father's life. It was soon that, after the grandest of the conflict came to an end with no true victor, he was initiated as the eleventh leader of CEDEF at seventeen years old.
Hajime frowned slightly as he sighed, frustrated with how much he ended up failing the Vongola with his 'betrayal' during the Yakuza operation. He turned to where the children hung from their feet along the makeshift monkey bars, watching with curiosity as he quietly mumbled random facts about the human body being suspended upside down. He did not question why they were... however they were, but... if this were truly the home of Naoto Alato, the supposed eleventh boss candidate of the Vongola... did this mean that all of those children were candidates as well? Did that mean that Sonya Dmitriev was their... tutor? Was this the reason why he had to find her?
"Dad!"
Hajime's face ran expressionless as his eyes laid upon his shirtless son. He hadn't paid much, if any, attention to the children handing from the monkey bars, but once he did, he saw that he could recognize two of their faces. If it was true that these were all of the eleventh generation candidates, then that meant that Cyril Leggieri and Fionn Breckenridge were also present among those children. "Daisuke," he whispered as he shook his head, looking down at the ground. This was not been how he wanted to meet his son from ten years in the future for the first time.
"Interesting torture method," Hajime proceeded to change the thought flow within his mind; everything about his objective in the past had been made clear, now, and he was certain that his premonitions were accurate to some degree.
"Dad!!" Daisuke shouted for a second time, louder than the previous attempt to gain his attention. "Hurry! Seduce the scary woman and make her stop all of this blasphemy!"
Every compliment draws a criticism. "May I suggest another more effective approach of this method?"
