"Yo, Tsuna!"

"Ah, h-hello, Yamamoto…!"

"Haha! So what's goin' on on your side of the town?"

"Mmm…nothing really. Mom took Reborn and the kids out to do some quick late night shopping. I've been left home to fend for it if some robbers or something tried to come. So says Reborn."

"Oh? So you're home alone?"

"Ah…yeah."

"Haha! So am I!"

"Eh? Really? Why?"

"Pops went on this epic fishing journey to find the best tuna in the Honshu Island! Though, he probably won't go too much farther than Nagoya."

"E-eh…?"

"Haha! But he does this, like, every half a year or so! It's not terribly uncommon!"

"How long does he usually stay out?"

"Mmm…longest was two weeks, I believe! I know he'll be gone at least a week!"

"A-A week? On your own? How can you live?"

"…You live off of milk?"

"Mostly!"

"Ya-Yamamoto, that's not good for you! You train in baseball! Just milk isn't sufficient enough!"

"I use milk to make other stuff. I at least know nutrition!"

"O-Oh…"

"But thanks for worrying! You can come over and make sure I get good food to eat if you'd like!"

"N-no, I don't think I should trouble you with-"

"Maa maa, what are you talking about? You know you're welcome anytime!"

"B-but-"

"Y-y-y-yeah, w-we could, um, play v-videogames th-tha-that I c-can bring over from m-my home!"

"Uh huh… But you know what'll be even more satisfying…?"

"Y-Yamamoto! Please don't seduce me from the phone!"

"Seduce? Haha! I haven't even begun to seduce you! I haven't told you want I want to do to you the moment you walk through the-"

"YAMAMOTO!"

"Hahaha!"
