Tsuna hurried into the house without even taking off his shoes. He stepped directly into the corridor and quickly picked Yuzuru up from Hachiko's back.
"Ah, let me go! Hachiko, bite him, Tsuna-kun is bullying me." Tsuna looked at Yuzuru who was struggling fiercely in his arms, and then began to talk nonsense, and was a little speechless.
Hachiko looked back at Yuzuru and walked into the living room, wagging his tail. Meanwhile, Shouko changed her shoes at the entrance, walked over to Tsuna's side, and gently karate-chopped Yuzuru on the head.
"Yuzuru, Tsuna is Hachiko's owner," Shouko said. She originally wanted to add, "Hachiko will bite you," but held back the second half.
In Tsuna's arms, Yuzuru gradually calmed down after Shouko's gentle karate chop. Tsuna looked down, confused, and noticed that Yuzuru's eyes were red. He quickly loosened his grip and opened his mouth, wanting to say something to comfort her.
Yuzuru thought she could hold back her tears, but the moment she looked up and met Tsuna's eyes, she couldn't hold them back any longer. She burst into tears and ran into the living room, shouting in a choked voice, "I hate my sister the most!"
Shouko only noticed Yuzuru running off in tears; she couldn't hear what was said, only that her little sister had spoken.
"Shouko, you go in and comfort Yuzuru first, and I'll change my shoes first." After saying that, Tsuna stood up and walked towards the entrance. Shouko nodded and hurried into the living room.
Tsuna changed into slippers, and as soon as he walked into the living room, he saw Shouko and Grandma Ito sitting by the coffee table and chatting about the fun things that happened in kindergarten today, while Yuzuru was hugging Hachiko tightly, shouting in a sobbing voice: "Hachiko, I will never play with you again!"
Hachiko lay on the tatami, not daring to move. He wanted to lick the tears from Yuzuru's face with his tongue, but he couldn't reach her. Tsuna felt as if he could see the speechlessness and helplessness in Hachiko's eyes.
"Good afternoon, Grandma Ito," Tsuna said as he stood at the entrance to the living room, greeting Nishimiya Ito. Then he walked over to the coffee table and sat down.
"Hehe... Good afternoon, Tsuna."
After learning more about it, Tsuna realized that Yuzuru climbed on Hachiko while Nishimiya Ito went to the bathroom.
Later, Tsuna started to feel bored and turned on the TV to watch a comedy variety show. After sharing what had happened that day with Nishimiya Ito, Shouko walked over to Tsuna and sat down to watch the show with him.
Nishimiya Ito glanced at the time, said a few words to the two of them, then stood up from the tatami, left the living room, and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Yuzuru fell asleep on Hachiko. Hachiko felt that the little person next to him had fallen asleep, and he dared not move.
Tsuna noticed that the sobbing had stopped and turned his head to see that Yuzuru had fallen asleep. Worried that she might catch a cold, he stood up, intending to carry her back to bed.
But when he got closer, he saw that Yuzuru was tightly gripping Hachiko's fur with both hands. Helpless, he simply fetched a small blanket and gently covered her where she lay.
At about 6 pm, Shizuka and Yaeko came back from shopping. Shizuka went back to prepare dinner. Yaeko also walked back to her house. As soon as she entered the living room, she saw three cute kids quietly.
Tsuna, who was peeling oranges, noticed Yaeko at the entrance of the living room, greeted her, and then lowered his head to continue peeling. Shouko sat quietly watching TV, patiently waiting for the orange slices in Tsuna's hands.
Yuzuru lay beside Hachiko, occasionally drooling and grinning in her sleep. Hachiko had also dozed off on the tatami.
**********
"Children! The uncles and aunts from Futaba TV will be here soon." After Teacher Ageo walked to the corridor to answer a phone call, she excitedly walked back to the classroom, closed the wooden door, and said loudly to the children below.
Teacher Ageo looked at the chattering children below, motioned for them to be quiet, and briefly told them what to pay attention to later.
After a while, "Knock, knock, knock..." the wooden door of the classroom was knocked. Teacher Ageo and Tsuna knew that the reporters for the interview had arrived. The other children did not hear the knock and were still chatting with others.
Teacher Ageo waved to the children below on the podium, asking them to be quiet, and then shouted to the door: "Come in!"
The children's eyes all looked towards the classroom door. The wooden door slowly opened, and what caught my eye was a beautiful young lady holding a microphone who walked into the classroom first, followed by several people carrying cameras and backup personnel.
Tsuna, sitting in his seat, couldn't help but think that if Shin-chan had been there, he would have already gone up to talk to the first young lady who entered the classroom.
"Tsuna, Tsuna, look! The young lady holding the microphone is so pretty," Shouko said, patting Tsuna's arm. She was about to add that the older boys carrying the cameras behind her looked amazing, but then her eyes fell on the person at the end of the group.
She quickly patted Tsuna's arm, raised her hand, pointed at the last person, and said, "Tsuna, look, Shin-chan is also in that group."
Tsuna didn't even look at the team before he saw Shin-chan rushing into his sight.
"Miss, do you want to go eat chocolate cookies with me?" Shin-chan ran to the female reporter and said excitedly.
"Ah?" The female reporter was stunned for a moment when she heard Shin-chan's sudden words, but she quickly recovered her expression, half-knelt and touched Shin-chan's head, and said in a gentle voice: "Little friend, aren't you in the Rose Class? Why are you here, too?"
"Because of love!" Shin-chan didn't even think about it and directly answered the female reporter's question. The female reporter thought of all the words in her mind, and in the end, she could only laugh awkwardly and didn't answer.
Shouko, who was watching Shin-chan chatting with the female reporter so calmly, turned to Tsuna and said, "Shin-chan is amazing. He can chat with that pretty lady so calmly."
Tsuna saw it too, and his mouth twitched unconsciously. He and Shouko saw different things, and he complained in his heart: He was indeed calm, but the professional interviewer was disturbed by him.
Teacher Ageo also noticed it and hurriedly stepped forward to distance Shin-chan from them, holding him in her arms and telling him not to make trouble.
The female reporter breathed a sigh of relief quietly, as she couldn't handle such a child. The female reporter turned her head to look at the young man carrying a camera behind her, and the young man raised his hand and made an OK gesture to her.
The female reporter nodded, turned around, chuckled twice to adjust her state, and said loudly: "Hello, children, I am a reporter from Futaba TV. We are broadcasting live, and we want everyone to accept our interview.
I will ask some small questions. If you are interested, please raise your hands and answer one by one, okay?"
"What is a live broadcast?" After listening to the female reporter, the child on the far left raised his left hand curiously and asked.
"Live broadcast, simply put, means that the audience and your parents can see us directly on TV right now," the female reporter answered the child's question in a gentle voice.
After hearing her explanation, some of the children below suddenly felt self-conscious, as if their hands and feet didn't belong to them. But a few kids shouted excitedly at the camera, "Mom, can you see me?"
One little boy was so thrilled that his pronunciation, already unclear, became so slurred that even Teacher Ageo couldn't understand what he was trying to say.
