A few weeks later while Tsuna was headed home, Haru found him again. "I need you to help me with some childcare."
Tsuna squealed in his usual way and tried to run off. His Vongola Ring bounced against his chest, since it was now on a necklace Nana had gotten him.

Eventually, Haru tied Tsuna up using a gymnastics ribbon and while he begged for mercy, the box that was formerly Natsu fell off his belt.
"What's this?" Haru cried, grabbing the box and closely scrutinising it. Tsuna's jaw hit the ground as he tried to reclaim it, but obviously didn't succeed because he was a little...tied up.

After getting to the local day-care, Tsuna was freed and snatched the box out of her grasp before she could do anything else with it. Soon, crying could be heard and the two followed it until they found a child with an afro and cow print pyjamas.
"Lambo!" the girl wailed, just as high-pitched as Lambo's crying. "What's wrong?"
Lambo sucked up some tears then told her, "I-pin won't give me back my lollipop." I-pin was assumedly the child in stereotypical Chinese clothes.
The child called I-pin scolded him about not having too many sweets but Haru, hoping to please Lambo, forked out another lollipop from a nearby basket and gave it to her, handing the original one over to Lambo.
Meanwhile, Tsuna was checking the box for any signs of Haru harm when suddenly, Lambo (with the lollipop in his mouth) crashed into him, making his flame light involuntarily. The movement also made the ring fall into the box's opening, letting Natsu out. While Haru reasoned with Tsuna not to be angry at Lambo, Natsu ran off, scared and confused.

When Tsuna figured out Natsu was missing, he let Jirou out (out of Haru's sight, naturally) so that the dog could lead him to the lion. However, Jirou wanted to play with a new arrival – a kid with a scarf and a large book.
"Fuuta! Great to see you here," Haru greeted as she shooed Jirou out. Tsuna mentally screamed at the fact he'd lost his box animals in one day, but then admitted, These animals aren't evil. Maybe they can become friends with people someday…
