My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 213 The November School Festival

"Then you can't peek, Tsuna."

Shoko turned her back and started writing on the paper with the pen that Miyaji had just handed her.

"..." Tsuna was speechless, but he didn't choose to peek or anything like that.

"Alright, thank you for your help, Sister Miyaji."

"Hehe...you're too kind."

She chuckled softly, took the ema (votive plaque) from Shoko, glanced at it briefly, and waved to the two of them:

"Alright, that's all. Take care, you two."

"Bye-Bye."

"Okay." The two said goodbye to her and left along the way they came.

The palace attendant stood there watching the two walk away before turning his gaze away, then slowly walked back to the inner palace with the ema (votive plaque) bearing the inscription.

Later, because they forgot to take the broom, they returned to the front yard.

"Shoko, what did you write on that?" As they descended from the mountainside, Tsuna grew increasingly curious.

Shoko shook his hand: "It won't work if I say it out loud. I'll tell you when what I wrote down comes true."

Dissatisfied, Tsuna pinched her cheek and didn't ask any more questions.

That ema will most likely be hung at the top as the first one, and he can sneak a peek at it later when he has the chance.

"Let's go, it's almost noon. Shall we go home and rest for a while, and then go see a movie this afternoon?" Tsuna glanced at his watch and asked.

"Yeah." Glass nodded without hesitation.

"Let's invite Yuzuru this afternoon too. She went out with her friends this morning, so she should be free this afternoon."

"Okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two quickened their pace home, and on the way they happened to run into Nishimiya Yuzuru and Hachiko, who were also on their way home.

When asked why she brought Hachiko along on her trip, Yuzuru Nishimiya replied, "Don't underestimate our bond!"

Before we knew it, the lunch break was over.

"Yuzuru, want to go see a movie?" Shoko glanced at the sun outside, and after confirming it wasn't too hot, she returned to the living room and invited him.

"No, if I go outside for a while, I feel like I'm going to get dried out by the sun."

With her head resting on Hachiko's belly, Nishimiya Yuzuru refused without hesitation.

She couldn't understand it at all. Wasn't watching TV with the air conditioning on better than going to the movies? And with the sun so strong outside, weren't the two of them afraid of getting heatstroke?

"Are you really not going?"

"No, sis, you and Tsuna have fun." Nishimiya Yuzuru waved her hand and turned her attention back to the TV.

"That's fine."

Seeing this, Shoko didn't try to persuade her any further. After saying goodbye to Nishimiya Kei in the living room, she went to the entrance to change into her outdoor shoes and left.

"Click..."

Only after hearing the door close did Nishimiya Yuzuru adjust the position of her head as she rested it before she could focus her attention back on the television.

"Isn't Yuzuru going?" Tsuna sat by the coffee table, breaking off half of a peeled orange and handing it to Shoko in front of him.

"Mmm." She nodded and reached out to take it: "Yuzuru probably thinks it's too hot outside and doesn't want to go."

Upon hearing this, Tsuna hesitated for a moment: "I suddenly feel a bit hot outside, why don't we watch it at home?"

And you're going out without sunscreen, be careful you don't get a tan.

"Will you mind if I get darker skin?"

"No way." Tsuna shook his head without the slightest hesitation.

"Hmph." Shoko swallowed the orange in her mouth and snorted softly, "That settles it then."

"Perfect timing. I have an untouched bottle of sunscreen in my room. You can take it back and use it. You two can apply it when you go out later."

At this moment, Shizuka Miyamura, who was lying on the sofa watching a TV series, spoke up to remind her.

"Besides, I'd be heartbroken if my fair skin got tanned." Upon hearing this, Shoko thanked Miyamura Shizuka and went to the master bedroom to retrieve the bottle of sunscreen she had mentioned.

Which girl doesn't want to be fair-skinned? Although Tsuna doesn't mind her getting tanned, she herself does.

"Tsuna, let me help you apply it."

When Shoko opened the bottle of sunscreen in her hand, she could tell from the packaging and the smell that Aunt Miyamura was not using anything cheap.

"Okay." Tsuna nodded, obediently letting her do as she pleased.

He wasn't planning on putting this on at all if Shoko hadn't offered to help him...

In the following minutes, after Shoko finished applying the paint for him, she refused his offer to apply it for her and started applying it herself.

"Mom, we're going to see a movie, wanna come?" After Shoko finished, Tsuna turned to look at Miyamura Shizuka, who was lounging on the sofa.

"No, it's scorching hot outside." Shizuka Miyamura waved her hand without turning her head to refuse.

"Let's head out now."

"Goodbye, Aunt Miyamura."

Seeing this, the two stopped trying to persuade her, got up, said goodbye, and walked out of the living room side by side.

"I'm heading out!" x2
"Be careful on the road, Tsuna, take good care of Shoko."

"understood!"

"Click..."

In October, the maple leaves dyed the streets into a crimson river, but on a frosty morning, the November wind swept them into a pile of broken gold, leaving only a few stubborn ginkgo leaves hanging on the branches, rustling in the twilight.

“Boom…boom…boom…!”

As the bell rang to signal the end of the first class in the afternoon, Tsuna also turned his gaze away from the window.

After waiting for Mr. Noki to give the order to end get out of class, I prepared to take a short nap on the desk for about ten minutes.

But this time things didn't go as he wished.

"Clap clap clap..."

Ms. Nokitaki reached out and patted the blackboard behind her. "Quiet down, everyone. I have something to announce, although you may already know it."

The classroom, which had been filled with whispers, fell silent because of her words.

"A week from now, which is next Thursday or Friday, the school will hold a campus festival that will last for two days. I will not participate in what our class should do; you can decide for yourselves."

Once everything is finalized, the class monitor will come and tell me.

As soon as Mr. Ye Bei finished speaking, the students, who had been quiet, could no longer contain their excitement and immediately began to make a commotion.

"School Festival! School Festival!!!"

"I told you the school festival would be held a few days after Culture Day! You didn't believe me, but you were proven wrong, weren't you?"

"Our class must vote to open a maid cafe!!"

"Go back to your home and run your own maid café. School festivals have to be stage plays!"

Looking at the noisy students, Ms. Ye Bei on the podium smiled slightly, shook her head, and silently picked up her Chinese textbook and left the classroom.

They became even noisier after seeing that Mr. Nokitaki had left.

Tsuna, who had originally planned to take a nap, couldn't fall asleep in such a noisy environment.

"Tsuna, what kind of event do you think our class is more likely to participate in during the school festival?" Shoko moved her chair closer to his ear and asked.

She was afraid he wouldn't be able to hear her in such a noisy classroom...

"Bah bang bang...!"

A sudden slapping sound rang out in the noisy classroom, and everyone looked toward the source of the sound, while the chatter gradually subsided.

Tsuna, who was about to speak, was also drawn to the sound, and Shoko, who was next to him, followed his gaze.

It was Ayumi Ajitani, who was standing in front of Nokitaki-sensei, rubbing her reddened right hand in pain.
