One of Vongola's best mechanic and technician, Irie Shoichi clutched his stomach as he knocked through the office of Vongola Decimo. It seems that no matter how many years pass, he can't seem to take that habit off though this rarely happened now. At least he managed to tone down his nervousness and stomachaches over the years he spent as a member of the Vongola famiglia.

"Come in," Sawada Tsunayoshi said.

"Buon Giorno, Vongola Decimo," Shoichi said as he bowed.

"Buon Giorno, Shoichi. Drop the formalities. The things that we'll discuss today is not about business," Tsuna said as he smiled to Shoichi.

"Oh? Then, what is it about, Tsuna-kun?" Shoichi asked.

"I was wondering if it's okay to invite your family here in Italy so you can also celebrate your birthday with them," Tsuna stated.

"I wouldn't mind, Tsuna-kun. I kinda missed them too." Shoichi admitted dryly.

"Great! Then, I think that you should use the private jet if you want," Tsuna said while smiling.

"Eh?!Do you really think it's okay to use it for myself, Tsuna-kun?"

"Of course! You're family, Shoichi and one of Vongola's top mechanics and technician too. Besides, Reborn will probably shoot me if I didn't treat my subordinate's justly. You're free to us it as you wish, Shoichi," Tsuna smiled as he said this.

Shoichi couldn't help but smile too. In all the years that he has known him, he knew that Tsuna-kun really cares for his family. Maybe that is the reason that many people follow him, including himself.

"Okay, but would it be all right if they remain oblivious to the fact that I am a member of the most influential and wealthies mafia famiglia in existence? I don't really want them to be involved in it. All they knew about Vongola is that it is one of the most famous companies in the world," Shoichi explained.

Hearing this, Tsuna's eyes softened.

"Don't worry. I also don't want them to be involved. I'll protect them, Shoichi. I promise," Tsuna said with a determined eye and Shoichi smiled at the resolve of the boss that he respects and follows.

"Grazie, Tsuna-kun. I should probably get going so I can pack my things and notify my family. Ciao, Tsuna-kun."

And with that, Shoichi bowed and left as he heard the Vongola Decimo's words, "Ciao, Shoichi."

Shoichi went to his room and dialed the number of his mother into his cellphone.

"Hello, Mom."

"Shoichi-kun! Hello. How're you doing? It's almost your birthday, right? Where will you be staying at that time?" his mother asked.

"Um, about that..You see, my boss told me to bring you to Italy, mom. He wanted me to celebrate my birthday with my family and consdiering that it'll be hard to leave my job for an extended period of time, he thought that it would be prudent for you to be here instead. " Shoichi stated.

"That's so great, Shoichi. Your boss is really great, huh?" his mother said in awe.

"I'll be there tomorrow morning. Be sure to tell sis, mom. Bye." With that, he hung up.

"Well, it would certainly be an enjoyable birthday, huh?" Shoichi said.
