Later, Shouko finished all the ice cream that hadn't completely melted yet. Her head felt a little stinging from the cold, just like Tsuna's before.
Tsuna raised his hand and gently rubbed her head, just like she had before.
When she felt better, the two of them got up and went to experience the attractions they hadn't tried yet.
Shizuka turned around and said to Daisuke, who was still chatting, "Tsuna and the others are gone. You continue chatting with the manager. I'll follow them."
Then she opened the kitchen door and walked out.
Daisuke saw this and said a few words to the manager before following them.
The female staff at the front desk watched two strange men and women sneak out of the kitchen, taking off their masks and disposable hats and throwing them into the trash can.
The woman nodded and greeted her before leaving, while the man hurriedly followed the woman.
"Manager, who are they?" The female staff member asked curiously when she saw the manager following closely behind.
"Hehe..." The manager waved to the female staff member, "It's okay. These two are the parents of the two children from earlier."
After watching them walk away, the manager withdrew his gaze and returned to the kitchen.
Tsuna and Shouko then tried many new rides.
Shizuka, who had been following them, stopped them and took them, along with Miu, who was waiting at their locker, to the water park's on-site restaurant for lunch.
They played until around 5:00 PM before changing back into their original clothes and heading home in Shizuka and Daisuke's car.
"Shouko, this is for you."
In the back seat of Daisuke's car, Tsuna pulled a whale plush from a beautifully packaged bag emblazoned with the water park logo and handed it to Shouko.
"Why did you suddenly want to buy this for me?" Shouko happily accepted it and hugged it.
Tsuna had sent her away earlier and returned with the bag in his hand. When he asked him about it, he hadn't said anything.
Tsuna glanced at Daisuke, who was driving, and mouthed to her, "This is a reward for you learning to swim."
Shouko also took the opportunity to glance at Daisuke, who was driving, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise as she leaned close to his ear.
Tsuna thought she was going to say something and listened without any defense.
Until he suddenly felt a wet and hot feeling on his face...
Shoukoleaned close to his ear, and her warm breath brushed his cheek: "Coach Tsuna, this is the tuition."
"...…" Daisuke, who was driving in front, witnessed the whole process.
————————
Shizuka drove the three of them to their doorstep before dropping them off.
Daisuke's car arrived a few minutes earlier than Shizuka, and the three people's casually taken-off shoes were scattered at the entrance.
Returning home, Shizuka stood at the entrance and called out to the living room,
"I'm going to buy groceries. Do you want to join me?"
Before the two people inside could respond, Yaeko's voice echoed from behind her:
"No need to go out, come to my house for dinner. It's already past five."
Shizuka hesitated, but Yaeko stepped forward and patted her hand without hesitation. "It's a happy occasion."
"Okay, Ma—"
"Don't say that. I was just thinking about taking care of Shouko all day."
Shizuka said nothing more and left with her friends. Before leaving, she told the two people pretending to be dead in the living room and the lovely Shouko that they would go back to the Nishimiyas' house for dinner.
Shouko felt in her pocket, suddenly remembering something, and hurriedly said to the two, "I'm leaving first."
She then trotted over to catch up with Shizuka and Yaeko, her doll in hand.
The two people in the living room started to do their own things. It was a little after seven o'clock when Shizuka called Tsuna's cell phone and asked them to go to dinner.
The two walked to the entrance, changed into outdoor shoes, closed the door, and soon arrived at the door of the Nishimiya family. Tsuna took the key and opened the door.
The first person to greet them was Hachiko, followed closely by Yuzuru.
Tsuna asked her if she had gone anywhere to play today, and she saw that Daisuke was still beside him, so she didn't want to be perfunctory with Tsuna, so she explained in detail that she took Hachiko to the park to play with friends today.
Time blinked, and it was a little after nine o'clock in the evening. After the Miyamura family left, Yaeko also went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Shouko took out the peace amulet and asked Ito, who was watching TV nearby, "Grandma, can you teach me how to sew words on this amulet?"
Grandma Nishimiya agreed without hesitation, "I'll teach you tomorrow morning."
"Yes!" She nodded excitedly, rising from the tatami and walking to her locker. She pulled out a pair of scissors and returned to her seat.
"What are you doing?" Yuzuru asked curiously, her head resting against Hachiko.
She shook her head, "Nothing."
She hesitated for a moment.
She carefully unstitched the amulet's seams with the scissors, completely removing the fabric embroidered with the name "Miyamura Tsunayoshi," and then uncovered the inner fabric.
Yuzuru watched her sister cut the amulet, wondering if this was a bit unlucky.
————————
"Tsuna, this is back to you. It's been washed."
On the way to school, the two were still chatting when Tsuna saw Shouko suddenly pull the amulet from her pocket and hand it to him.
"So fast?" Tsuna took it and saw that his name was still embroidered on it, and put it in his pocket without much hesitation.
And Shouko, who had been paying attention to his actions, breathed a sigh of relief silently after seeing him put it in his pocket without asking anything.
"Let's go, we have to speed up, otherwise we will be late." Tsuna saw that she was still walking slowly, so he reached out and held her hand and quickened his pace.
In the end, the two arrived at the school a few minutes before the school gate closed, and then walked back to the classroom without stopping.
"Dong... Dong...!"
"The next class is a homework class. You will go to the baking classroom to gather directly. Class is dismissed."
As the bell rang, Teacher Fujiro closed the textbook in her hand, left a word, and left the classroom without paying attention to the reactions of the crowd below.
"Great! We can finally get straight to the actual practice!"
"Last week we had four or five baking theory classes, and I almost thought there would be no practical practice."
"I heard it was because the baking classroom wasn't ready yet."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is that we can go to the baking classroom in the next class, okay?"
As Teacher Fujiro left, the classroom suddenly became noisy.
Tsuna didn't have much interest in this. From what he had learned over the past week, this home education class was more accurately called home studies.
It included life skills such as cooking and sewing, and cooking also included making bread, cakes, etc.
In addition to baking, it also covered food selection, nutritional matching, kitchen safety, and other topics.
However, most students regarded home education classes as a place to relax and have fun. Of course, for some boys and girls, home education classes also allowed them to eat cookies made by the boys and girls they had a crush on or liked.
