"Good morning, Principal Takakura." Seeing Principal Takakura looking over, Shouko timidly greeted him. Having been in Futaba Kindergarten for so long, Shouko still felt a little scared every time she saw Principal Takakura's face.
The New parents around just realized that the one shoveling sand in the sandpit was the kindergarten security guard, after all, he looked so fierce, but they never expected that it would be the principal of Futaba Kindergarten.
When they registered, they were met by the class teacher, and Principal Takakura had never appeared in any of the Futaba Kindergarten's enrollment photos.
"Hehe... It turned out to be Tsuna and Shouko Good morning." Principal Takakura turned around and found that it was them, and greeted them with a chuckle.
Shouko saw his smile and quickly hid behind Tsuna. Even Tsuna couldn't stand Principal Takakura's smile.
Before Principal Takakura had time to feel sad, a childish voice interrupted him: "Boss! Are you not going to Tokyo Bay today, but burying people in the sandpit instead?"
The two looked at the source of the sound, and behind Tsuna, Shouko also followed Tsuna's line of sight. Tsuna found that it was Shin-chan, who was about to turn 7 and had not changed much. He greeted Shouko and Tsuna.
"Shin-chan, I'm the principal of Futaba Kindergarten, not a member of the Yakuza" Principal Takakura was a little speechless. The only children in the kindergarten who were not afraid of his appearance were Shin-chan and Tsuna, but the brain circuits of these two children were always novel.
Principal Takakura wanted to say something to Shin-chan, but Shin-chan was no longer there. He looked up, looked around, and found that he was pestering a beautiful parent not far away.
Tsuna saw that he had already greeted Shin-chan, and since Shin-chan had gone to talk to the little girl, he took Shouko's hand and walked toward the stairs next to the Sakura class.
The two walked into the new class, and the facilities and layout inside were almost exactly the same as the Sakura small class. It's just that there are only nine tables, and several children have dropped out of school for personal and family reasons in the past two years.
Tsuna led Shouko to sit down in two empty seats. After putting everything in the hole of the table, several children gathered around Shouko and started chatting. Some communicated by signing and writing, and some spoke, but it was hard to hear clearly.
Tsuna lay on the table and looked at Shouko. Seeing her talking and laughing with the children around her, he was a little touched and recalled the past two years.
In the past two years, Shouko has become the focus of the Sakura class because of her cute appearance, love of making friends, gentle and considerate treatment, and the most normal pronunciation in the Sakura class (except for those two normal people!).
Teacher Ageo also asked Shouko on behalf of the other children. Shouko's answer was that Tsuna taught her pronunciation every day for the past three years. If she made a mistake, she would start over again. The next day, she would check what she had taught yesterday.
This made other children in the class envious. Because of hearing impairment, they have almost no normal friends of the same age around them. Even if they have, they will not insist on teaching and correcting their pronunciation every day. Parents are busy making money.
"Children! Go back to your seats and sit down." Teacher Ageo walked into the classroom from outside and shouted loudly.
The children quickly went back to their seats and sat down. Tsuna also collected his thoughts and looked up at Teacher Ageo next to the podium.
Teacher Ageo stood next to the podium and said happily to the well-behaved children in the seats below: "Tomorrow, uncles and aunts from Futaba TV will come to interview you about some questions."
Tsuna heard Teacher Ageo say this and remembered that every year there would be reporters coming to interview the children in the senior class of Futaba Kindergarten.
Shouko raised her left hand and asked curiously: "Teacher Ageo, what is an interview?"
Teacher Ageo nodded and began to patiently explain to the confused children below. But the children only heard the three words "will be on TV".
Shouko happily turned her head and said to Tsuna in the seat next to her: "Tomorrow we can be on TV, Tsuna! So that mom and uncles and aunts can see us on TV!"
"And Yuzuru and Grandma can too!" Shouko added the people who had not been called.
"Then you have to behave better tomorrow," Tsuna said with a chuckle when he saw Shouko so excited.
Shouko snorted softly and said in a baby voice: "I've always been very good, okay!"
Shouko was about to say something, but Teacher Ageo at the podium interrupted the excited children below: "Okay, okay, children, please calm down first, okay? They won't be here until tomorrow."
"Okay!" The children below shouted in unison.
Teacher Ageo played interesting games with the children on the first day of school as usual, and then told them the fairy tale "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs".
In the afternoon, Daisuke picked up the two after school. In the car, Tsuna couldn't help but curiously ask Daisuke who was driving: "Dad, why are you here to pick us up today? Where's Mom?"
Daisuke glanced at Tsuna through the rearview mirror and replied, "Your mom and Shouko's mom went out to have some fun."
Shouko leaned against Tsuna and asked in confusion: "Uncle Miyamura, where is my sister?"
"Uncle doesn't know much either. I was called to pick you up while fishing."
"Okay~."
Daisuke sent the two to the door of their home. Tsuna and Shouko waved to him. After confirming that there were no vehicles, Daisuke leaned out of the car window and reminded Tsuna: "There are snacks in the refrigerator. If you are hungry, remember to eat them." After saying that, he drove away without waiting for the two to reply.
Tsuna didn't understand whether fishing was really so attractive. He opened the door, walked to the entrance with Shouko to change into slippers, and turned into the living room without seeing Hachiko.
Shouko asked Tsuna doubtfully, "Is Hachiko not taken out by Aunt Miyamura..."
Tsuna shook his head and said, "Unlikely. If Mom and Aunt Nishimiya went out to have fun, they definitely wouldn't take Hachiko with them. He's probably at Shouko's house."
The two could only return to the entrance to change into their outdoor shoes, close the door, and head to Shouko's house.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Tsuna knocked on Shouko's door.
He couldn't help but chuckle inwardly why was he knocking when Shouko was standing right next to him? It was all because Aunt Nishimiya worried that Shouko might lose her key.
"Coming, coming!" Yuzuru's childish voice responded from inside.
Tsuna raised an eyebrow in confusion. Yuzuru shouldn't be able to reach the door handle yet.
Then, when the door opened, Tsuna saw a delicate little girl riding on Hachiko. Thankfully, Yuzuru was only three years old; otherwise, Hachiko wouldn't have been able to hold up.
Behind Tsuna, Shouko also saw the strange combination inside the room. Worried that Yuzuru might get hurt, she quickly said, "Yuzuru, how can you ride on Hachiko?!"
Hearing her sister's angry voice, Yuzuru lay flat on Hachiko's back, wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, and shouted, "Hachiko, run!"
Hachiko hesitated. He was afraid Yuzuru might fall off, so instead of running, he slowly turned around and walked cautiously toward the living room.
