He's really glad that Gokudera and Yamamoto beat him, but he's also aware this isn't the end of it (even though he'd like to think so). He doesn't LIKE to fight, but he doesn't like to let the others do it all. Even though he still doesn't really want to be a boss, he wants to do his best. Because the rest of the family is trying so hard, and because the family is so important to him, he doesn't want to let them down. And that desire to protect and show everyone he's worth their affection drives him to want to put in an effort. Even though the thing which he has to put effort into isn't something he really supports or wants. Being a boss is a means to an end for Tsuna (protecting the family), or a vehicle for proving himself and his worth to himself and you guys. So when a threat like Dietrich popped up, even though what he really wanted to do was avoid a fight, he knew he had to act fast and decisively. Which he didn't do. So in a way he sort of blames himself for any injuries that occured to you guys (even though he's also aware you're dumbasses that get yourselves into stupid situations and that Dietrich is crazy). He was glad that you two handled the situation, but he's disappointed in himself that he hadn't been more decisive and that your guys had to do it on your own and out of necessity. Dietrich has been a lesson for him. So, he is totally prepared to fight next time Dietrich pops up to cause trouble, and he wants to fight with you guys. He knows that if he was beaten once, he can be beaten again. Especially if they work together. Although, even though he's confident and believes in everyone, there is still always that fear of "what if"; what if something goes wrong or what if we don't win or what if someone gets seriously hurt. He feels bad for Ikki being left out since it is his fight too, but he understands why. Tsuna is going to be doing his best to find out as much about Dietrich as he can, as well as put in more training. The good thing about Dietrich is that it is helping that slow acceptance Tsuna has for his role as boss and it really has been a lesson. But yeah, no love for Dietrich. Although he is curious about why Dietrich does the things he does and what not and if they can somehow talk to him. Like I said, Tsuna is prepared to fight, but he really would rather avoid it if things can be talked out; that way no one has to get hurt. He doesn't really approve of killing, as you know, and this includes Dietrich. Byakuran though....
