My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 217 1:1 Life-size Standee
"Clap clap clap..."

Ayumi Azurani entered the classroom through the front door, which was adorned with a pink lace curtain, and clapped her hands to attract the attention of the busy students:
"Everyone, you've worked hard! Let's have some water and rest for a bit."

As she finished speaking, two more figures entered the classroom. They were Tsuna and Naoto Nishikata, both carrying cardboard boxes filled with drinks.

"You two have worked hard. You should go and rest too. I'll distribute the drinks," Ayumi Ajitani said, turning back to the two of them.

"Ah."

Tsuna nodded, placed the cardboard box on the round table beside him, and walked towards the direction of the glass.

Nishikata followed closely behind, but instead of going to find Takagi, he went to find his friends from his class.

As for why he didn't stay with Tsuna, he was still perceptive.

"Thank you for your hard work, Tsuna." Shoko took a tissue out of her pocket and handed it to the person who walked up to her.

A-Tsuna took the tissue and waved his hand, saying, "It's just carrying some water."

After speaking, he glanced at Class 2, which had undergone a major renovation that afternoon.

The neatly arranged desks were transformed into round tables, covered with lace-trimmed tablecloths, and each table had a bear doll dressed as a maid standing on it.

Sunlight streamed through the windows covered with cherry blossom paper cutouts, casting dappled patterns of light onto the light vine-colored gauze curtains.

On the small stage at the back of the classroom, several girls were adjusting the sound system. Their skirts billowed with their movements, revealing bandages on their knees—injuries they had sustained while rushing to finish the props the night before.

The back of the classroom is divided into an L-shaped space by a movable whiteboard, and the induction cooker and rice cooker are hidden under the control table made of desks.

The ingredients were separated into two insulated boxes according to "hot" and "cold" categories, and handwritten instructions were posted on the wall.

Leave an 80cm wide aisle between tables and chairs, and place arrow-shaped directional tape on the floor (green for entry/red for exit) to prevent waiters from bumping into each other.

Use a double-layered cart to collect plates (upper layer for dirty dishes/lower layer for cleaning supplies), and cover it with a floral cloth to hide the mess.

That anime cat-eared maid poster that Shoko-kun pasted crookedly.

The most eye-catching feature, however, is the blackboard, where a giant cat-eared maid drawn in chalk almost covers the entire wall.

The cat's paw pointed to a line of cursive text: "Today's limited-time magic: Omelette rice can triple your happiness!"

That giant cat-eared maid was his masterpiece created in one afternoon.

"Tsuna, where do you think we should go shopping tomorrow?" Shoko asked, her gaze falling on Ayumi Ajitani, who was handing out drinks in the front row.

"Hmm..." Tsuna withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and asked in confusion, "What are our opening hours again?"

This was his first time participating in the school festival, and he was having a hard time making a decision right away, especially since his poster work was already finished.

He can go out and explore for the remaining two days, unless he's too busy with classwork. However, he'll most likely be helping out in the kitchen with glass during these two days.

Shoko pondered for a moment: "Business hours are from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., is there something wrong?"

"If we calculate it this way, we need to come to the classroom an hour in advance to prepare the ingredients and spend about thirty minutes cleaning up when it closes in the afternoon. We still have quite a lot of time to go shopping."

"Pretty much." Shoko nodded, meeting his gaze. "Tsuna, are you coming to help me in the kitchen tomorrow, or are you going to visit the school with Aunt Miyamura?"

"Which one do you want me to choose?" Tsuna looked at his reflection in her eyes.

This time, Shoko didn't speak, but stared straight into his eyes.

He finally broke the silence: "Shizuka-chan should be bringing Yuzuru with her tomorrow."

His silence was as if he had given her the answer she wanted to hear.

"You two, Nokitaki-sensei is still here, so you'd better be careful." At this moment, Takagi Sana's calm yet slightly teasing words rang in their ears.

Upon hearing this, Shoko quickly looked away and glanced at Ms. Nokitani, who was resting in the front row. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Nokitani hadn't noticed her at all.

At the same time, she didn't forget to slap Takagi Sana's arm as she walked up to her, trying to scare her. She'd heard her use these little tricks countless times over the past two semesters, but for some reason, she always fell for them…

"This is just normal conversation, it's not like we're hugging or anything." Tsuna suppressed the urge to roll his eyes at her.

"Ring...ring...ring..."

Just as the group was about to say something, a bell rang in Tsuna's pocket. The sudden sound silenced the noisy classroom, and all the students' eyes fell on him.

Tsuna calmly ignored everyone's gaze, including Nokitaki-sensei's, and took out his phone to check the caller ID.

"Mr. Nokitaki, the life-size standee I ordered is ready. I'll go down and pick it up."

For this reason, he was allowed to bring his phone to school, which is why he was able to remain so calm.

"it is good."

Gang nodded to her, answered the phone, and left through the back door.

"Perfect timing! The school festival is tomorrow, and it was finished this afternoon."

"Putting everything else aside, I'm really looking forward to the 1:1 life-size standee."

"+1+1, when I asked Miyamura back then, he wouldn't reveal anything, making it all very mysterious."

"I think I heard that it was made into a 1:1 scale standee based on the class monitor wearing a maid outfit."

"Really?! The class monitor would agree???"

(Rolls eyes) Didn't I already say I just heard about it?

As Tsuna left, the quiet classroom became noisy again, and everyone was curious about his 1:1 life-size standee.

He was assigned the job of poster design, and this 1:1 standee was a task that the class monitor suddenly added to him a few days later.

He accepted it, but he only revealed the information about the standee to a few people, so everyone in the classroom was very curious.

About ten minutes later, A-Gang returned to the classroom, followed by two staff members.

After he thanked the two men, they put down the airtight cardboard box they were carrying and left the classroom.

Everyone looked at the two cardboard boxes, which were about 1.7 meters tall, and were very impatient, hoping that Gang would open them as soon as possible.

Some students who had already resumed their work stopped what they were doing.

"Why are there two? Didn't you say there was only one?" a puzzled student asked.

"The other one was sent to me by the class monitor last night, so it's normal that you don't know." A-Gang waved his hand, picked up a utility knife, and carefully prepared to open it.

This is what the standee is all about. The main body is made of cardboard. He was worried it wouldn't be stable, so he spent extra money to add a few more wires to reinforce it, but the main body is still made of paper.

It's normal to be careful.

"It really is a life-size cardboard cutout of the class monitor!?"

As soon as Tsuna fully opened it, one student exclaimed in surprise. Most of the students also stared wide-eyed.

A life-size standee of Ayumi Ajitani as a maid, with her business hours indicated in cute font: "10:00~15:00主様をお待ちしてます。"

"We are eagerly awaiting your arrival, Master."

The standee features Ayumi Ajitani with her long, light blonde hair tied in pigtails. Her golden eyes and dimples give her an exceptionally sweet appearance.

That black and white apron maid outfit, plus the cat ears on her head, and the heart-shaped omelet rice in her hands, made everyone exclaim that Ah Wei was dead!!
He originally wanted a life-size standee of Shoko, so that he could take it home and admire it after the school festival ended.

But Shoko frantically waved her hands in refusal, and in the end, Ayumi Ajitani had to step in.
