At night, the Miyamura family finished dinner and sat in the living room watching TV. Tsuna took this opportunity to ask Daisuke about those light novels, but he got the sa answer as Shizuka.
Now he was certain he could beco a Japanese healing copywriter, but he decided to wait until high school to start. Otherwise, elentary and junior high schools would require parental contracts and guarantees.
He’d also have to explain how he got so much inspiration and knowledge at such a young age. After all, he didn’t even have a mobile phone, and it would be impossible to say he saw it on TV.
Ti flew by, and sumr vacation was coming to an end. Daisuke used his connections to get the two placed in the sa class.
When Shizuka took them to register, the teacher who t them suggested that the two be in the sa class upon hearing that Shouko had a hearing impairnt. Later, Shizuka beca concerned about safety and asked Daisuke to make the arrangents.
"Shin-chan, which elentary school are you going to?" Tsuna asked while sitting on a bench in the park, speaking to the kids playing house with Nene.
This ti, Toru played the role of a flush toilet. He wasn’t allowed to speak in the house ga, so he was the first to answer Tsuna’s question: "My mom enrolled in Pri Elentary School. I’ll be boarding there from now on."
After Toru answered, the others paused their ga and took turns sharing which elentary schools their families had enrolled them in.
In the end, only Tsuna and Shouko were going to the sa school. Everyone else was attending a different one, and Nene had been enrolled in an all-girls school.
After everyone grew tired of playing, they sat together on a bench in the park, watching the sunset. They didn’t go ho until Sato Masao’s mother arrived and called him in for dinner.
"I’m back!" Tsuna called out as he opened the front door, and Shouko shouted toward the living room. Sotis, Tsuna really didn’t understand the point of this habit.
"Look! I went shopping wout ith Yaeko today and bought these just for you," Shizuka said excitedly, raising two schoolbags for them to see as they entered the living room.
"Wow! Thank you, Aunt Miyamura!" Shouko rushed in and grabbed the magenta schoolbag with a magical girl printed on it, happily kissing Shizuka on the cheek.
"Mom, doesn’t the school provide uniforms and bags?" Tsuna asked, taking the black schoolbag with a dynamic Superman design, pretending to be excited, though he felt a bit disgusted inside.
After receiving Shouko’s kiss, Shizuka was clearly delighted, but upon hearing Tsuna’s question, she sighed and replied, "What are you thinking? Minato Elentary doesn’t provide school uniforms or schoolbags."
"No?" Tsuna was doubtful. He clearly rembered the registration fee was around 200,000 yen per year—and that was for a public school. (About 1392 dollars)
After asking his dad, he found out that an average private school would cost more than 6 million yen over six years. Minato Elentary was still considered relatively affordable. (About 41,763 dollars)
"You’ll wear your own clothes to school," Shizuka said matter-of-factly, ignoring Tsuna’s surprise.
"By the way, I’ll take you both to the school tomorrow to find out your class assignnts."
"Auntie, aren’t Tsuna and I in the sa class? Do we still need to check?" Shouko asked sweetly.
Shizuka couldn’t resist Shouko’s cuteness. She scooped her up, rubbed her cheeks lovingly, and said, "First-graders need their parents to visit the school with them ahead of ti. Once you move up a grade, you can go by yourselves on the first day."
"Oh..." Shouko nodded in a baby voice to show she understood.
Shizuka, still overwheld by Shouko’s adorableness, let go with one hand and playfully bit her cheek. Tsuna, used to his mother’s antics, ignored them and quietly turned on the TV to watch a cody show.

**The next day**
Shizuka took both kids on a walk to Minato Elentary School. It wasn’t far, so there was no need to drive. They wanted the children to learn the route so they could walk there themselves later.
This was Tsuna’s second ti seeing the school. It looked like a typical elentary school—nothing particularly morable. There was a security booth near the entrance, and the na *Minato Elentary School* was engraved on the gate.
Shizuka led them inside and waited in the central teaching building, where several parents and children had already gathered.
"Wait here. I’ll go check which class you’re in," Shizuka said, letting Tsuna hold Shouko’s hand as she walked into the crowd.
Tsuna noticed a school layout map on the wall that no one seed to care about and turned to Shouko. "Shouko, let’s go over there and take a look," he said, pointing toward it.
"But Auntie said..." Shouko hesitated, looking in the direction Tsuna pointed, where the map was posted.
"Then let’s wait," Tsuna said, rembering his mother’s words. He didn’t want her to return and find them gone. He was still too young, without a phone, and whatever he did would worry his parents. The restrictions were frustrating. He sighed quietly.
"Okay, you’re in Class A. School starts in a week," Shizuka announced when she returned.
"Let’s go." She smiled and took both of their hands into her own.
"Mom, I want to look over there," Tsuna said, pointing at the map again.
"I want to go too!" Shouko chid in.
Shizuka nodded, then led them over to the wall to look at the layout of Minato Elentary.
"Let’s go," Tsuna said after glancing at it. There were two three-story buildings, a gym on the right, a swimming pool on the left, and a large grassy playground in the center. That seed to be all. He wondered if they’d add more buildings in the future.
Shizuka and Shouko took a quick look as well. There wasn’t much to rember—Shizuka didn’t have to attend school, and Shouko had Tsuna with her, so she didn’t worry much either.
When they got ho, the three of them sat in the living room watching TV. Tsuna didn’t see Hachiko and beca 100% certain the dog was with Yuzuru.
Tsuna recalled his earlier question about school and decisively asked Shizuka, who was peeling an orange beside him, "Mom, can you buy a phone?"
"No," Shizuka replied flatly, with no emotion. It was as if she’d already anticipated the question.
She split the orange in half and handed it to the two of them, gently patting Tsuna’s head. "You’re still too young," she said.
Tsuna didn’t react much. He had only asked casually. After all, he hadn’t even started first grade. How could he expect to get a mobile phone now? He might not even get one by sixth grade.
"I’ll buy you a phone watch when the ti cos, so you can contact if anything happens at school," Shizuka added after thinking it over. "Just one that can make calls."
