On the way to the park, we encountered Shinnosuke, who had run away from home. When we discovered he was also heading to the park to play, we decided to go together.
Tsuna also introduced this little potato boy to Shoko. Shinnosuke waved his hand and told Shoko to just call him "Shin-chan".
The three of them walked into the park, the special play area for children. As soon as Shoko walked in, she saw a square play area surrounded by flower beds from the entrance. There were slides, sand pits, seesaws, swings, and some strange decorations.
When the three of them came in, the four children inside noticed them. The only little girl came forward and enthusiastically greeted Tsuna: "Tsuna! Are you here to play in the park, too? Do you want to play super-realistic house?"
Tsuna waved his hand to refuse, and slowly introduced to the Shoko on the left who was holding his hand: "This is Sakurada Nini, and she is also my friend in the sunflower class."
Shoko listened to Tsuna's words and quietly looked at the little girl in front of her, who was wearing a cherry blossom pink dress and a pink skirt, and had dark red hair tied in a ponytail.
Tsuna saw that Shoko didn't say anything, so he gently patted Shoko's hand and asked her to introduce herself.
Shoko retracted her gaze and spoke slowly and unclearly: "Hello, my name is Nishimiya Shoko!" Sakurada Nini roughly understood and confidently introduced herself to Shoko again.
Among the four people, a short-haired child wearing green clothes, blue shorts, and yellow shoes ran up with a picture book, looked at the cute Shoko, touched the back of his head, and shyly introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Sato Masao." He started to smile foolishly after he finished speaking.
Shoko looked at him in confusion. Tsuna noticed her expression and realized she hadn't clearly heard what Masao had just said in a low voice. He quickly interrupted Sato Masao, who was grinning.
"Masao, introduce yourself again. Your voice was too quiet just now, and Shoko couldn't hear you clearly because of her hearing aid."
Tsuna said this, and Sato Masao and Sakurada Nini noticed the red hearing aid in Naoko's left ear.
Masao could only introduce himself to Shoko loudly again. This time Shoko heard clearly, and happily told Masao her name, and then Masao began to touch his head and grinned again.
At that moment, the other two children also hurried over. The boy in front, dressed in a light blue shirt, orange shorts, and black shoes, with long black hair, stepped forward and said to Naoko, "Hello, my name is Kazama Toru. Nice to meet you."
After speaking, Kazama extended his right hand toward Shoko for a handshake.
Seeing this, Shoko quickly hid behind Tsuna. Tsuna saw that Kazama looked like he was lost, and explained to him softly: "Soko is shy."
The little kid behind Kazama also walked up to Shoko and slowly introduced himself to him: "My name is Botaro Ikawa..." Shoko then walked out from behind Tsuna and looked at this man. He was wearing yellow clothes, green shorts, a crew cut, an oval face, and a snot hanging from his nose.
After Shoko was introduced to the two of them, she took out a tissue from her pocket and handed it to Botaro. Looking at his snot, she quickly said: "Here! Wipe it."
Botaro blushed, took the tissue and said thank you to Shoko, then put the tissue in his pocket.
Shoko looked at Botaro's operation in confusion, and then Tsuna chuckled and explained to Naoko: "Botaro has a little problem with his nose; it's okay without wiping it."
At this time, Shin-chan, who had been silent for a long time, asked the four people: "What were you playing just now?"
"We were playing our future selves!" Nini answered first.
Masao raised the sketchbook in his hand and showed it to everyone. "I will definitely become a super popular cartoonist in Japan!"
Nini followed Masao's words, turned around confidently, and then said to everyone happily: "In the future, I will definitely become a gentle teacher like Teacher Yoshinaga, and then teach the children with my heart, and let them play super-realistic house with me!"
Shoko said nothing, just kept clapping for them. Then Nini looked at Botaro, wanting him to say who he would be in the future.
Botaro ran to the sand pit, Tsuna and Shoko looked at him curiously, and everyone's attention followed Botaro to the sand pit.
Botaro filled an empty tin can with sand, picked up a branch with his left hand, and stuck it in the center of the can. Then he stood on his hands, placed one on his waist, and shouted to everyone, "I'll definitely become a great inventor in the future!"
After saying that, he sniffled, catching the snot that was about to drip into his mouth.
Everyone saw that Botaro had finished speaking and then looked at Kazama because, according to the order, it was his turn.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Kazama snorted, raised his right hand lightly lifted his hair, raised the corner of his mouth, and said confidently: "I will definitely become a big boss of an office in the future! Make a lot of money, and manage a lot of employees!"
"Pa...pa...pa!". Shoko still clapped for Kazama calmly, without saying anything. But Kazama secretly glanced at the cute little girl with his peripheral vision.
Then Kazama ran back to the crowd and curiously asked the three people in front of him: "What about you? What kind of people do you want to be in the future?"
Shoko listened to Kazama's words, secretly glanced at Tsuna, and then timidly said: "I want to be Tsuna's marriage partner..."
But because Shoko spoke so shyly, no one could hear her. Even Tsuna, who was standing right next to her, only caught the words "become... a partner." Nini hadn't heard it either, and when she curiously asked Shoko to repeat it, Shoko had already hidden behind Tsuna, blushing and too embarrassed to say it a second time.
Everyone had to give up asking Shoko and ask the other two instead. Tsuna said he would talk about it later, while Shin-chan said directly that he had no dreams and wanted to stay the way he was now. This caused the four people to be surprised.
Shin-chan ignored the four surprised people, ran to an open place, half-took off his pants, and started to dance the butt dance. Everyone was still young, so even if Shin-chan took off all his pants, he would not feel shy, and Tsuna had no idea about a little boy half-naked.
Tsuna took a small tracking alarm out of his shorts pocket—the one Shizuka had given him before he left home. It had started vibrating slightly as soon as he entered the park.
He fiddled with it for a while before finally figuring out how to make it stop. Then he put it back in his pocket, turned to Nini and the others, and said, "Do you want to play something together?"
Nini raised her hands and spoke first, "Let's play super-realistic house together?"
Kazama and the other two turned their heads to look at Nini in surprise. Seeing their expressions, Nini was just about to get angry.
"Please vote for Shinzo Abe! Please vote for Shinzo Abe! Please vote for Shinzo Abe!"
A van with a large loudspeaker blared as it drove past the children's play area, cutting off Nini just as she was about to get angry. The noise was so loud that everyone instinctively covered their ears.
Meanwhile, Daisuke, who was smoking on the rooftop of his office building, noticed that the red dot showing Tsuna's location had suddenly disappeared from his phone. Frowning in confusion, he called Shizuka.
