Time flies. Two years have passed in the blink of an eye since I met the Nishimiya family.
Tsuna is about to celebrate his third birthday.
In the past two years, Tsuna has tried various ways to call the system, but there was no effect.
In the past two years, many things have happened around him, but the Tsuna family has not changed much. The unreliable father, the careless mother, and the often speechless him.
Tsuna has become the star kid in the eyes of other families in this neighborhood because he doesn't cry or make a fuss and is well-behaved and cute. No one has ever doubted that the soul of a college student lives in this little ghost.
Shizuka and Daisuke are both first-time parents. They have worked hard to give birth to a piece of flesh from their bodies. How can they be suspicious of their baby, Tsuna?
Tsuna walked to the floor-length mirror and looked at himself, who was about to turn three years old.
After looking at it for a long time...
Hehe... I am even cuter.
Shizuka, who was kneeling on the tatami and reading a magazine, glanced at Tsuna in front of the mirror and said, "Tsuna, you are becoming more and more conceited."
Tsuna raised his right hand and stretched out his index finger to shake it, and replied without turning her head, "You are too nagging, Mom."
Shizuka did not respond to Tsuna's words because the blue veins on her head were jumping. She quietly walked behind Tsuna. Tsuna saw her approaching in the mirror but did not say anything.
She hugged Tsuna and then used her legs to fix Tsuna to prevent him from escaping. She rubbed Tsuna's little fleshy face with both hands, trying to teach him a lesson.
"No, no, please, mother." Tsuna urgently pleaded for mercy, fearing that if she continued, his skin would peel off.
Shizuka also stopped at the right time, gently rubbed Tsuna's red cheeks, and then, when she saw that it was almost time, she kissed him.
Tsuna watched his mother walk back to the small table and continue reading magazines like a scumbag who put on his pants and didn't recognize her.
Tsuna could only wipe the saliva off his face helplessly.

A few days passed in a dull manner, and suddenly the news brought back by Shizuka from the Nishimiya family brought some disturbances.
The Miyamura family sat in the room watching a comedy show on TV. Daisuke picked up the oranges in the basket in the middle of the small table and began to peel them.
Shizuka suddenly seemed to think of something and nervously said to Daisuke, who was peeling oranges beside him. "Husband, do you know?"
Daisuke suddenly stopped what he was doing when he heard her say that, and he began to feel nervous. "I know what?" he asked carefully.
Shizuka ignored the reason why Daisuke stopped and continued to peel the orange in his hand while saying, "You know! I heard from Yaeko that Shoko was diagnosed with a hearing impairment by the doctor."
"Ah? Ah...!!"
Shizuka broke off half of the peeled orange and stuffed it into Daisuke's mouth, but seeing Daisuke act as if he knew but didn't, it was a bit confusing. Asked: "What's your reaction? Don't you know?"
"Did the doctor say there's any way to treat it?" Daisuke swallowed the orange and pretended to be calm, trying to force the topic back.
Shizuka didn't pay much attention to his abnormality, broke off a small half, and gently fed it to Tsun, who was watching TV. Then he thought about what Yaeko said at the time and said to Daisuke:
"No, we have to go to several hospitals to check later, in case it's a misdiagnosis."
Daisuke saw that Shizuka had been diverted to the topic, and he breathed a sigh of relief, then thought about the cute Shoko next door, and said:
"Alas... Shoko is still so young, and she will have to rely on hearing aids and sign language in the future. I hope it's a misdiagnosis."
"Yes." Shizuka saw Daisuke sighing, thinking that he was worried about Shoko.
Tsuna, who had just swallowed the orange, knew from their conversation that his mother had been diverted to the topic by his father again, and that the private money hidden behind the TV by the old man would probably be spared again.
Then, pretending to look cute, he said, "Mom, Dad hid some small change behind the TV."
"What!?" After saying that, Shizuka grabbed Daisuke's collar at an inhuman speed.

A few days passed.
The Nishimiya family went to four or five hospitals, and all of them confirmed that Nishimiya had a hearing impairment. From then on, she could only rely on hearing aids and sign language to communicate.
Sitting at the dining table, Suneo and Yaeko looked at the several diagnostic reports in their hands, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
Suneo looked at the report in his hand, picked up the cup beside him and took a sip of cold water, then asked a strange question. "Why did you hide your genetic defect?"
Yaeko, who was already in a very bad mood because of the matter of Shoko, heard him say that and immediately knew that Suneo was going to put all the blame on herself.
Holding back her anger, she said, "The doctor said! The root cause of Shoko's hearing impairment is a viral infection, which was transmitted to her mother by the man!"
Suneo chuckled, holding the cup in his hand, and said lightly, "Anyway, this is your fault, right? Shoko had a problem in your stomach!"
Hearing what he said, Yaeko slammed the table angrily. Because of her action, Yaeko's glass of water was spilled directly on the test report. Yaeko ignored it, but pointed at Suneo and yelled,
"This is because I didn't know it would be this kind of disease!"
"Sure enough, it's still your fault!" Suneo ignored her angry look, leaned back in the chair calmly, and drank another sip of water.
"But... you got it!"
"Is it because you didn't get vaccinated?"
"So if... I knew!"
"Calm down first, we'll talk during the day." Suneo raised his hand and looked at his watch, asking him to calm down and talk during the day.
Yaeko also felt that it was late and it would be bad to disturb the neighbors, so she immediately agreed with him and talked during the day. After cleaning up the table, she went back to the master bedroom.
That night, Yaeko slept in the bedroom with Shoko in her arms, while Suneo slept in the guest room.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day. The doorbell rang at the Nishimiya home.
Yaeko walked to the entrance and opened the door, looking at the man's mother, who came at this time in surprise.
"Mom!?"
"Haa... what? Don't you welcome me?"
"No... no, come in." Yaeko hurriedly tried to take the bag from the mother-in-law at the door, but she dodged. Yaeko could only smile awkwardly and welcome her in.
Everyone sat at the dining table again, with two more glasses of water than yesterday. On the left were Suneo and his mother, and on the right were Yaeko and her mother, 'Nishimiya-kei.
Because it was too late last night, Shoko had already fallen asleep in the second bedroom.
Suneo spoke first: "Let's talk about the child's problem."
"What!? What child's problem?" Suneo's mother asked in surprise.
Then Suneo briefly told his mother about the problem with Shoko, and then picked up the cup in front of him and fed her a big sip of water.
Suneo's mother covered her mouth in surprise and said: "What? Naoko has a hearing impairment!?"
"Yes, in short, we were deceived." Suneo put down the cup and calmly continued his mother's words.
Yaeko, who was opposite, looked at the mother and son with a gloomy face. Their acting was too fake.
Suneo continued to talk to himself: "We didn't know that Yaeko would give birth to such a child!"
Hearing this, Yaeko couldn't help it. She slammed the table angrily, and the water in the cup rippled. She pointed at Suneo and shouted: "What do you mean by such a child? Ah!? Seeing Yaeko's anger, Suneo also slammed the table with both hands and retorted: "Isn't it!? Is there no problem with the Shoko?"
"Then what? What do you want!? "
"Find a time to secretly send it to the door of the welfare home!" Suneo finished speaking, and the whole audience was silent.
Yaeko was even more surprised to see that the man who had been with her for seven or eight years would say such a thing.
Yaeko thought a lot at this moment, felt her eyes moist, and said disheartenedly: "Let's Divorce..."
Suneo's mother heard Yaeko finally say this, and agreed without thinking:
"Okay! Since you think there is a problem with secretly sending it to the welfare home, you can keep the child yourself. Our family doesn't need that kind of freak with problems. "
Looking at the mother and son, Yaeko picked up the water cup in front of her and poured it directly on Suneo.
Suneo stopped his mother from getting angry, chuckled, and ignored Yaeko, who could no longer hold back her tears.
