My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 199 Club Recruitment
"Tsuna, over here!"

As soon as Tsuna stepped out of the gymnasium, he heard the sound of glass.

Looking up from the sound, he saw Shoko and Ayumi Ajitani hiding in the shade, with Shoko waving at him.

"Why aren't you going back to the classroom?" Tsuna walked quickly to Shoko's side and asked curiously.

"Takagi-chan, she's right behind me, she should be here soon."

No sooner had Shoko finished speaking than Takagi Sana walked out of the gymnasium and immediately spotted the three people in the shade.

Naoto Nishikata was following behind her.

"Let's go back to the classroom first. This weather is so hot it's melting us." Ayumi kept pulling on her collar to fan herself.

Shoko quickly raised her hand to stop her: "Mind your image, Ayumi-chan, it would be bad if someone saw this."

"Relax, Shoko, there are only a few of us here, aren't there?" Ayumi Ajiya let go of Shoko's hand, but didn't repeat the action.

"..." Speechless, Tsuna and Naoto Nishikata.

"Let's go, let's go," Takagi Sana chuckled, urging them on as she stepped out of the shade first.

--------

“Boom…boom…boom…!”

That's all I have to say. Classes officially start tomorrow, so remember to focus your minds on the present today.

Mr. Ye Bei, standing on the podium, slightly bent his fingers, tapped the podium, and then walked out of the classroom.

"Oh, right." Just as she reached the classroom door, she suddenly remembered something, stopped, and turned back to look at the students inside:
"If any of you apply to join a club, remember to let me know tomorrow."

She quickly walked out after speaking, without lingering, and behind her, the students in the classroom immediately began to make noise.

After putting all the new books she received today into her schoolbag, Shoko turned around and asked:

"Takagi-chan, would you like to come with us to check out the club recruitment area?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ayumi Ajitani shouted, raising her hand as she quickly walked from the front row to the seats for a few people.

She didn't even go to the Chicken Zilla Expo on the first day of last semester, even though the club recruitment event would last for three or four days.

The next day, she couldn't find any friends to go shopping with, so the matter was dropped.

But it’s different now!

“But…” Takagi Sana glanced discreetly at Nishikata Naoto, who was tidying up his books, and hesitated…

"Takagi-chan, if you're busy, you can do it next time. There's no rush." ​​Shoko caught the fleeting hesitation in her eyes and waved her hand.

"I'm sorry." Takagi Sana nodded apologetically to them and stood up. "I'm leaving now, bye-bye."

"Wait for me."

Just then, Naoto Nishikata finished packing his bag, quickly stood up, and followed Sana Takagi, waving to the three people still seated.

"See you tomorrow, all three of you. Bye-bye."

"Bye-Bye."

"See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow." Tsuna nodded to Nishikata.

He could vaguely guess why Takagi-san had left so early...

"Let's go too."

"Let me think... was the club recruitment office on the playground or at the back gate?" Shoko raised her hand and poked her forehead, then closed her eyes and began to recall.

"Let's go, none of them were right. The recruitment offices are on both sides of the main road of the teaching building."

Tsuna slung his backpack over his shoulder, stood up, and rubbed Shoko's head as she sat down.

--------

In early September, the campus was bathed in the scorching sun. The club recruitment offices were set up on both sides of the main road of the teaching building, creating a lively atmosphere with a youthful sense of ritual.

As soon as the three of them went downstairs and changed their shoes, they saw that sports clubs had taken over the edge of the playground. Meanwhile, cultural clubs occupied the corridors and under the trees, with their booths made up of desks and display boards.

The sounds of wooden swords striking each other from the kendo club, the impromptu performance of the brass band, and the cheers of the cheerleaders blended together into a boiling wave of sound.

Freshmen clutched multiple flyers, hesitant and undecided. Some were pulled by upperclassmen to try out swinging a baseball bat, while others huddled in a corner comparing activity schedules.

The girl with glasses was copying line art in the comics club when she was distracted by the sprint demonstration by the track and field club next door.

The consultant stood at a distance, smiling and taking notes, occasionally reminding, "Don't block the passage! Be careful!"

"It's so lively!"

Shoko looked at the bustling club recruitment booths and felt overwhelmed by the sheer number of people.

“Mmm!” Ayumi Ajitani nodded in agreement, her eyes fixed on the Gourmet Club.

Tsuna glanced at it briefly and then looked away: "Should we head straight to the art club, or do we look around first?"

Since it's the second semester now, the number of people visiting the club recruitment office has decreased by more than half compared to the beginning of the first semester, but there are still plenty of students who love to join in the fun.

The main reason is that school ends early.

"Let's take a look around first, there's no rush anyway," Ayumi Ajitani suggested, turning her gaze away from the area.

Tsuna didn't seem to have any objections to this, and turned his gaze to Shoko, wanting to see what she thought first.

"Well, let's go."

Shoko took Ayumi Ajitani's hand, gave Tsuna an apologetic look, and pulled her away first.

Tsuna quickly caught up with the two and walked alongside Shoko.

At school, and since the school was very strict about cracking down on early relationships, he was quite understanding that Shoko was too shy to hold his hand on campus.

As the three approached, they saw colorful hand-painted posters magnetically attached to the metal cabinet, with the title "Join us, create a legend!"

The sports club booths displayed faded certificates and trophies, while the Ministry of Culture's artwork wall was covered with exhibition photos and newspaper clippings.

Wigs from the drama club, vintage cameras from the photography club, and succulent plants from the gardening club were scattered around the stalls, attracting Shoko's curious gaze.

The aroma of caramel wafted from the cotton candy machine in the Science Department, mingling with the bitterness of matcha from the Tea Ceremony Department, creating a subtle fragrance in the nasal cavity.

A senior student in a team uniform called out in a loud voice, "Freshmen, come fill out the experience form! Free guidance on the first day!"

Or perhaps an upperclasswoman is holding a megaphone and shouting slogans: "Youth only comes once, don't leave any regrets!"

"Let's go check out the cultural club area first!?" Shoko shouted loudly to Tsuna beside her.

She was afraid that her voice would be too soft and drowned out by other sounds.

"Okay." Tsuna nodded, letting the two go first, and he followed behind them.

The cultural club area includes the wind instrument club, art club, tea ceremony club, science club, and manga research club.

Why are there a Manga Research Club and an Art Club? Aren't these two clubs the same thing?
No! They're completely different.

Led by Shoko, the three of them first went to the tea ceremony department.

I watched as tatami mats were laid out in a corner of the corridor, and a third-year senior in a kimono knelt down to serve tea, while the freshmen lined up to receive mini matcha and wagashi (Japanese sweets).

Shoko and Ayumi Ajitani became interested in the snacks they were getting while they were lining up.

Shoko looked around to make sure no supervising teacher was present, then boldly grabbed Tsuna's hand and quickly walked towards the tea ceremony club's queue.

Looking at the long line, Tsuna estimated that there were at least twenty students ahead of the three of them, and said helplessly:

"Seriously? These are just some wagashi (Japanese sweets) and matcha. I'll buy you some on the way back."

“Tsuna, you don’t understand.” Shoko shook her head playfully.

“That’s right, Miyamura, you don’t understand.” Ayumi Ajitani followed Shoko’s lead, shaking her head.

"........."

The way the two of them were shaking their heads made Tsuna want to give each of them a flick on the forehead.
