My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 203 New Members of the Art Club

"Dong dong..."

Tsuna stopped Shoko, who was about to walk straight into the teachers' office, and knocked on the wooden door first, amidst her questioning gaze.

There were only three teachers in the teachers' office, all of whom were the same ones that Gang knew. Naturally, his actions attracted the attention of the three people who were chatting.

"excuse me."

Tsuna released Shoko's hand, greeted them, and then went inside.

"Sorry to bother you!" Shoko quickly echoed, then followed in his footsteps.

When the two teachers saw that Tsuna had come to see Nokita, they dispersed and returned to their respective workstations.

"Is it about the club?"

As the two people approached, Ms. Nokita noticed out of the corner of her eye that they were each holding a piece of paper, and she roughly guessed what it was about.

"Hmm." Tsuna nodded, stepping aside to let Shoko stand next to him. "Nokita-sensei, Shoko and I would like to apply to join the art club. We need your signature here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the paper from Shoko's hand, folded it together with his own, and handed it to Mr. Nokitaki, who was sitting in a chair.

"what?"

Before Mr. Nokita could speak, Mr. Sai (physical education) sitting next to him couldn't help but ask first:
"Have you never considered joining the track and field team?"

He learned by chance last semester that Tsuna insisted on going for a morning run every day, and that he also performed very well in physical education class.

The key point is that he is the advisor for the track and field department. It's definitely a good deal to add such a promising talent who can stick to morning runs every day to exercise to the track and field department!
However, since Tsuna hadn't joined any clubs last semester, he assumed that the other party probably didn't want to, or for some other reason.

So I've never talked to him about this.

Nokitaki-sensei wasn't annoyed by his interruption and said calmly, "Sai-sensei, you should respect the student's choice."

After saying that, he turned his attention back to the two club application forms.

Tsuna also gave Sai-sensei an apologetic look.

He wisely kept quiet, nodded to Tsuna, and continued with his work.

Now that we know this kid is thinking of joining a club, we can have a good talk with him about it later. There's no rule that says you can only join one club in junior high.

Furthermore, he planned to have this kid represent the first-year track and field team in the sports meet.

Of course, that's on the premise that he's faster than the other first-year students in the track and field club.

But that's not a problem. We can just find some excuse to test all the students in Class 2 during PE class.

Just as he was lost in thought, Ms. Nokitaki signed her name on their application forms.

"Just put these in the art club's mailbox later," Ms. Nokita said, handing the two club application forms back to the two students.

"They will send students to inform you after the recruitment is over."

She had high hopes for both students, especially 'Miyamura Tsunayoshi', not because he had a company president as a father, but because of his academic performance and other aspects.

"If there's nothing else, go back to the classroom. Class is about to start." Ms. Noki tapped the desk as usual.

A-Gang and the other boy thanked her and quickly left the classroom.

"how's it going?"

When the two returned to their classroom seats, Ayumi Ajitani, who was sitting in a glass chair, was the first to speak up and ask a question.

"He signed it very readily." Shoko couldn't contain her joy as she showed her Shimono Kita-sensei's signature.

Putting everything else aside, the signature of Mr. Nokitaki is still very nice.

"That's good." Ayumi Ajitani moved half of her seat aside to let Shoko sit down.

"Class monitor, you're worrying a bit too much, aren't you?" Tsuna said, sitting back down in his seat with a slightly exasperated expression.

"It's just signing for Ms. Nokitaki. Besides, the parents have already signed, so how could she possibly refuse?"

“That’s true.” Ayumi Ajitani rubbed her temples and nodded.

"Thump...thump..."

"Class is starting, Ayumi, you should go back now," Shoko reminded her as she saw the other students hurrying back to their seats. "Okay, I'll come find you after class."

Ayumi Ajitani nuzzled Shoko's cheek, then decisively stood up and walked back to her seat.

------

"Is this the place?"

"Hmm..." Tsuna looked at the cat-shaped mailbox in front of him and hesitated for a moment: "This should be it."

"Then put it in?"

"Yo."

At that moment, a voice interrupted their actions from behind.

When A-Tsuna turned around, he realized that it was the senior student who had been dozing off at the art club's recruitment office yesterday.

"Just give it to me." The girl wearing a white beret held out her hand to the two of them. "No need for all that trouble. I'm the department head, just give it to me directly."

The girl took the two club application forms and added:

"And if you're not in a hurry to go home, you can come with me to the art department now for a short Q&A session."

Upon hearing this, Tsuna looked at Shoko to see what she would do. He had nothing left to do now; he had finished writing 'Anohana'.

If she wants to go, he should call his mother first to let her know.

"Uh-huh."

Shoko understood what Tsuna meant from his eyes and nodded decisively.

"Let's go then." Seeing that she nodded, the girl turned and walked away first.

Shoko and Tsuna followed, and along the way, he didn't forget to call Shizuka Miyamura to explain the reason.

"Senior, are there many people in the art club?" Shoko asked curiously as she followed behind her.

"Hmm..." The girl mentally counted, "If the two of you can successfully join and become permanent members, there will be a total of eight people."

"Huh...?" Shoko exclaimed in surprise, "So little??"

Even Tsuna, who was standing next to him, was a little surprised. With so many students at Namikaze Middle School, he didn't expect that the art club only had five members, not counting him and Shoko.

This member barely passed the minimum requirement...

He didn't know much about other school clubs, but he inquired about Namikaze Middle School because Shoko wanted to join one.

Here, a club needs four members and a president to form a club; otherwise, it won't work.

"Oh, the five I'm talking about are basically stationed in the art department every day. Those who come to the club once a week are not included."

"I see." Shoko nodded upon hearing this, then asked, "So, how many are there including those invisible members?"

"About ten." After saying that, the girl waved her hand casually, "I don't remember that number very clearly."

"Fine……"

Shoko and Tsuna suddenly felt that the club president seemed a little bit unreliable...

"arrive!"

Following the girl's perspective, push open the slightly worn walnut wood door.
My gaze swept past the shelf filled with ceramic jars and landed on the student frowning in front of the palette, the aroma of turpentine and oolong tea mingling in the twilight.

In the center stands a plaster statue of Agrippa, its base stained with years of paint spots.

On the display wall behind, the pink mist of watercolor cherry blossoms and the hard lines of charcoal portraits stand in opposition between copper nails.

"how do you feel?"

"Great."

"one--"

Before Tsuna could finish speaking, Shoko covered his mouth.
