Chapter 207 Teacher Naruko
“Boom…boom…boom…!”

As the school bell rang, Tsuna and Mr. Sai returned to the gymnasium.

"There's nothing more to say. School's over. Be careful on your way home, everyone."

Mr. Zuo Jing stood in front of the assembled team, shouted a message, and was the first to leave the gymnasium.

The four teams immediately dispersed, and the once quiet and empty stadium instantly became noisy.

"Here you go, your favorite juice."

Tsuna slowly walked to Shoko's side and handed her the bottle of 100% strawberry juice he had gotten for free.

Shoko accepted the bottle without hesitation, unscrewed the cap, took a sip, and then asked in confusion, "Is Mr. Sai looking for you because of the track and field club?"

Tsuna hasn't tried this juice before, thumbs down!

"How did you guess? Did Professor Sai tell you beforehand?" Tsuna was a little surprised. Logically speaking, Shoko shouldn't have this ability...

"No. Takagi-chan guessed it." Shoko shook her head and handed him back the bottle of juice she had only taken a sip from.

"So it really was Mr. Sakai who invited you to join the track and field club?"

“No wonder…” Tsuna nodded, seemingly relieved. “Pretty much.”

"Let's go change back into our school uniforms first, and we can talk on the way."

"Uh-huh."

------

"So, Mr. Zuo wants you to join the track and field club, and represent the first-year students in sprints and marathons at the school sports meet?"

The two stood in front of the art club entrance, summarizing the whole process that Tsuna had told her before.

"Yeah, that's about it." Tsuna raised his hand and tapped the wooden door with his index finger.
"However, we'll have to compete against the other first-year students in the track and field club before we can make a decision."

"It's okay, I believe in you," Shoko said with a smile, encouraging him.

"Click..." At that moment, the classroom door of the art department opened.

"Hello, teacher. We're here to pay those fees." Gang greeted her quickly when he saw that it was a young female teacher he had never seen before who opened the door.

Seeing the teacher inside the door with brown wavy hair and wearing a white dress adorned with cherry blossoms, Shoko quickly echoed her sentiment.

Ms. Naruko nodded to the two of them and stepped aside. "You must be Miyamura-kun and Nishimiya-kun, right?"
Xiaoxue told me about the two of you yesterday.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Tsuna seriously and nodded thoughtfully: "He certainly makes a deep impression at first glance."

"Naruko-sensei, what did Miyagi-senpai say to you about the two of us back then?"

Shoko walked into the art club, and seeing that no one was inside, she turned her gaze to Naruko-sensei, who was about to close the door, and became very curious about what she was saying.

"Haha..." Naruko-sensei waved her hand with a slight upturn of her lips: "It's not important, it's not important. Come on, have a seat first."

Also, when you chat with me, you don't need to use honorifics; just treat me like your friend.

Tsuna noticed that when Naruko-sensei smiled, she had very obvious dimples, and her eyes looked especially beautiful at that moment.

"Ok."

"Don't be so nervous, Nishimiya-kun. We'll be spending more than two years together. It's too tiring to be like this."

Ms. Naruko chuckled and offered a reassuring remark before turning and walking to the tea table where the tea was served.

"Please, would you like plain water or tea?" "No, no, we can do it ourselves!" Shoko, who had just sat down, hurriedly stood up to stop her.

From childhood to adulthood, no teacher had ever poured her tea, and she had never encountered a teacher like this before.

It's inevitable that I'll be a little reserved.

"Just cooled boiled water will do, thank you for your help, Naruko-sensei." Tsuna, who was sitting calmly in a chair, seemed much more composed.

They didn't stop Shoko's behavior; they wanted Shoko to experience this before things would change.

Of course, this only applies to such things; there are some extreme cases that Shoko would absolutely never experience.

"Here you go, Nishimiya-san, please take this to Miyamura-san."

When Shoko walked to Naruko's side, Naruko had already poured water. She turned around, checked the distance between Naruko and Shoko, and handed her the white disposable cup in her hand.

She was afraid of turning around too quickly, and then the nervous Nishimiya stepped forward to stop her. She didn't control the distance well, and both of their clothes got wet.

Similar accidents have happened many times before, so she already had experience in preventing them.

"Thank you, Naruko-sensei." Shoko quickly thanked her before taking the cup from her hand.

"Thank you, Naruko-sensei." Tsuna echoed, and when Shoko returned to his side, he repeated, "Thank you too, Shoko-kun."

She reached out to take it after he finished speaking, but Shoko raised her hand to dodge it.

"Hmph." Shoko sat down, gave a light hum, and said playfully, "Who said I was going to give it to you? I'm going to drink it myself. Why didn't you go get it?"

Standing not far in front of the two, Ms. Naruko quietly watched them playfully bickering.

She had heard about their relationship yesterday; they were childhood sweethearts who had known each other since they were one year old.

They've been identified as having an enviable relationship, and the probability of them getting married in the future is extremely high!
A-Gang wasn't annoyed and let her do as she pleased, knowing that she would eventually return the water to him anyway.

However... there's a high chance she drank from that glass of water...

"Naruko-sensei, can I hand over those fees to you now?" Tsuna asked calmly.

"Oh... um... okay." Naruko-sensei, who had been engrossed in her reading, was interrupted by his voice and nodded.

"The parents have already looked into the fees, right?" Ms. Naruko picked up her water glass and took a sip.

"Mhm." Tsuna nodded in response, opening his bag to take out the fees: "The club fee, activity fee, and materials fee total four thousand yen, right?"

(4000 yen = approximately 200 RMB)
"Yes, that's right." Naruko-sensei thought for a moment before nodding and explaining:
"A one-time membership fee of 3,000 yen and 1,000 yen for club operations and daily drawing supplies (such as paints, drawing paper, sketchbooks, etc.)."
The last two items are the fees payable monthly.

Of course, this is required if you're a regular at the art club; if you only come in for a short time each week, it's not necessary.

“Shoko and I have both looked into these things, and we have both chosen to be permanent members of the art department.”

Tsuna took out his wallet from his bag, then took out the money he and Shoko had saved, and handed it to Naruko-sensei in front of him.

As for why Shoko's money was with him, it was because Aunt Nishimiya was worried about Shoko holding such a large sum of money last night, so she asked him to keep it safe.

Naruko-sensei took the money from Tsuna, carefully examined it to make sure there were no counterfeit bills, and then put it in her wallet, while also reminding him:

"Oh, right, there are other miscellaneous expenses, such as participating in competitions, sketching trips, and group accommodation training, etc."

We will inform you of this later.
