My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 202 Early Morning
"Sakurada Nini?" Shoko paused in her shoe-changing motion, her face showing surprise.

Yuzuru Nishimiya didn't understand why her older sister was surprised, but she still nodded obediently:
"Yes, she's another girl in your kindergarten group of seven."

After finishing speaking, he pressed on, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing, I was just a little surprised."

Shoko shook her head, quickly changed her shoes, took the schoolbag from Yuzuru's hand, and walked briskly to her mother's bedroom door, raising her hand to knock on the door.

"Dong dong..."

"The door is unlocked."

"Click..."

"Shoko." Yaeko Nishimiya, who was lying on the bed, sat up and finally recognized the person who came in. "Have you decided which training course you want to enroll in?"

Shoko entered the room, gently closed the door, picked up her schoolbag, walked to her side, and shook her head.

Shoko shut the door on Nishimiya Yuzuru, who had also wanted to go in.

"Mysterious."

Yuzuru Nishimiya looked at the closed door, muttered something under her breath, and then ignored it, quickly running back to the living room and finding Hachiko's dog leash.

"Grandma, I'm going out to play with Hachiko!"

"Be careful on the road, and remember to bring plastic bags and a small shovel."

Nishimiya Yuzuru, who had just run to the entrance hall, scratched the back of his head and turned back to get the two items.

"Grandma, I'm leaving!" She waved to Nishimiya, who was sitting by the coffee table, then turned and ruffled Hachiko's hair before running away.

"Hachiko, let's go!"

"Woof!" Hachiko followed closely beside her.

Remember to come back before dinner.

"understood!"

"Wang Wang!"

Good morning, Tsuna.

As Tsuna walked along, he was drying his half-dry hair when he heard the sound of glass coming from the restaurant.

"Have you had breakfast, Glass?"

"Tsuna, hurry up or you'll be late!"

Shizuka Miyamura's voice rang out at the same time as his.

"What time is it already..." Tsuna hurried back to the living room to get the hairdryer, muttering a complaint under his breath.

"Let me blow it for you." At that moment, Shoko's voice came from behind him.

"Uh-huh."

After enjoying Shoko's hair-drying service for a while, Tsuna was then ushered to the restaurant for breakfast by Shizuka Miyamura, who had just walked in.

He spent five or six minutes quickly finishing the two sandwiches that Shizuka Miyamura had prepared for him, then ran back to his room to grab his schoolbag and went to the entrance with Shoko to change his shoes.

"Auntie, I'm going out!"

"Mom, I'm going out..."

"be careful on the road."

"Click..."

The pale purple skyline transitions to gray-blue, and the streetlights flicker in the mist, creating a cool-toned early morning backdrop.

The creaking of bicycle chains and the flow of people pouring out of the subway entrance created a silent rhythm, a metaphor for the pulse of the city's imminent awakening.

"Tsuna, shall we go to the teachers' office to find Mr. Shimono Kita after the first period?"

On the way, Shoko thought of the club application form, shifted her gaze from the traffic lights across the street to the boy beside her, and asked him a question.

"Hmm..." Tsuna replied listlessly with a yawn, "Okay, tell Nokitaki-sensei that we'll go find that senior from the art club later."

Last night, he was so focused on finishing the last volume that he didn't realize it was already past 1 a.m.

The energizing effects of my morning run and shower seem to be wearing off.

"Tsuna, what time did you go to sleep last night?" Shoko asked, a little worried as she looked at him.

"A little after 1 a.m., in order to finish writing the last volume of Anohana."

Tsuna glanced at the traffic light, and seeing it was still red, he decisively reached out and ruffled Shoko's hair to wake her up. Shoko lightly slapped his hand away, a little annoyed by his goodnight message to her on the phone last night, but in the end, she couldn't help but pinch his arm.

The energizing effect he wanted came right away; Tsuna's drowsiness vanished almost instantly.

Just then, the traffic light at the intersection turned from red to green, and the school uniform-wearing teenagers suddenly quickened their pace, the water bottles in their backpacks and their keychains making a soft metallic sound as they clattered together.

“Let’s go, let’s quicken our pace.” Tsuna gripped Shoko’s hand in return.

"Uh-huh."

The steam rising from office workers' thermos cups and the crisp sound of schoolbag charms colliding with each other become the most vivid visual and auditory symbols at dawn.

"What a coincidence, you two."

Just as the two were about to reach the school gate, a familiar voice rang out behind them.

Before Tsuna and the other two could turn around, Naoto Nishikata greeted them: "Good morning, Miyamura and Nishimiya-kun."

"morning."

"Good morning, Nishikata-kun and Takagi-chan."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shoko jumped to Takagi Sana's side, while Nishikata Naoto walked to Tsuna's side, and the four of them continued walking towards the school, two in front and two behind.

"Something's not right with you," Tsuna said, giving Nishikata Naoto a suspicious look.

"Wh...what's wrong?"

Naoto Nishikata couldn't stand the teasing look in his eyes, so he chose to look straight ahead and avoid eye contact.

"To be honest," Tsuna cut to the chase, asking in a low voice, "How long does it take you to walk from your hometown to meet up with Takagi-san this morning?"

"Ha ha……"

Naoto Nishikata scratched the back of his head with an awkward laugh, and when he turned to look at Tsuna, he subtly glanced at Takagi, who was chatting and laughing with Shoko behind him.

He only responded quietly after seeing that she wasn't paying any attention to him:

"Miyamura, the renovation team left yesterday, so I went back to live there yesterday."

"Really?" Tsuna looked at his furtive appearance and clearly didn't believe him.

“Yeah, there’s no benefit for me to lie to you.” Naoto Nishikata nodded, feigning conviction.

"Alright, I misunderstood you. Here's the message—"

"no, I'm fine."

Naoto Nishikata quickly waved his hand to interrupt him, though his expression and words didn't seem very sincere...

"Tsuna, what's wrong?"

Nishikata's actions naturally attracted the attention of the two people behind them.

"It's alright, you guys continue." Tsuna shook his head to indicate.

Shoko glanced deeply at Tsuna before continuing her conversation with Takagi Sana.

Finally, reminded by A-Gang, the four of them quickened their pace and entered Class 2 of Grade 1 in the last ten minutes or so.

As the school bell rang, Ms. Nokitaki walked into the classroom on time with her textbook.

--------

“Boom…boom…boom…!”

Mr. Ye Bei closed his Chinese textbook and casually placed it on the podium:

"get out of class is over. If you need to go to the bathroom, go now. Don't come to me again during class saying you need to go to the bathroom."

After speaking, he glanced at the few students below who were itching to do something, then looked away and walked out of the classroom.

"Let's go, Tsuna, let's go find Nokita-sensei." Shoko quickly reminded him, pulling her gaze away from Nokita-sensei.

"Okay, let's go." Tsuna took out the club application form signed by Shizuka Miyamura from yesterday from his bag.

Naoto Nishikata and Sana Takagi, standing behind the two, glanced at them briefly before looking away.

Shoko had already told Takagi and Nishikata what they were going to do on the way, so she wasn't curious about what the two of them were going to do now.

"What are Shoko and Miyamura up to?"

Ayumi Ajitani stepped forward and looked curiously at the backs of the two people who had already left through the back door.

"I went to find Mr. Nokitaki."

"Oh, now I know what we're going to do."
