In which the CEDEF are all Enablers

Oregano advises stress relief through violence

“Compliments of the CEDEF?” Kyoko gave the glaive a few experimental swings. It was perfectly balanced and surprisingly maneuverable in the closed space.

Basil smiled. “Oregano selected the weapon, Lal designed the specifics, and Turmeric arranged the smithing. Master’s accounts paid for it, and now sessha delivers it.”

His smile was inscrutably bland. Suspiciously so.

“You know!” Kyoko pointed an accusing finger at Tsuna’s friend, “You know that I’m staying behind because I don’t want to be protected!”

Basil’s smile became, if possible, even more inscrutably bland. “The External Consultancy compensates for the Main Family’s blind spots. This shall be an educational experience.”

“For whom?” Kyoko narrowed her eyes.

“Victory to thee, Lady Kyoko.” Basil bowed deeply, hand over his heart.

“Very well.” Kyoko sighed, “Please convey my gratitude to the External Consultancy. Good luck to you as well.”

Even if she had worn Tsuna and niisan down into recognizing that she could fight as well as any of them, they would still spend more of their energy trying to keep her away from danger than defending themselves. Haru might have the patience to work around their attempts, but after years of diplomacy, Kyoko was done being circumspect.
