My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 222 The Two Poisonous People

"Nishikata, are you here for a drink and a rest too?"

Takagi Sana stood at the entrance to the kitchen, taking a sip from a disposable cup, when she noticed Nishikata Naoto walking up to her.

Naoto Nishikata stopped in his tracks, shook his head, and went straight to the point: "No, I came to ask if Miyamura could come out and deliver a meal once."

"What's going on?" Takagi Sana looked past Nishikata in front of her and at Kawai Miki sitting at table number five.

She had been keeping an eye on him, and after hearing what he said, she guessed the general reason, but she was a little surprised that Nishikata was so bold (or rather, naive).

Isn't he afraid that he'll be killed by a spatula if he goes into the kitchen?
"The person who specifically mentioned Miyamura seems to be a friend of both Miyamura and Nishimiya, so I wanted to ask them. If it doesn't work out, then forget it."

Naoto Nishikata didn't understand her ambiguous smile.

"Alright, go ask around." Takagi Sana forced a smile that was about to spread across her face.

Putting everything else aside, she was somewhat looking forward to seeing Miyamura and Shoko's expressions when Nishikata went in to ask questions. Wouldn't that be tantamount to messing with the three of them?

Silently apologizing to Shoko in her heart, she stepped aside from the doorway so that he could easily lift the curtain and go inside.

"Ah."

Naoto Nishikata stepped forward without hesitation, lifted the blue curtain that read "No Entry for Non-Staff" with one hand, and went inside.

Takagi Sana did not choose to follow them inside, but instead lifted half of the opening to observe the three of them.

"Nishikata, what are you doing here? Is there something wrong with the food?"

As soon as A-Gang said this, it naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the kitchen.

"No, I just need to talk to you about something."

However, Nishikata waved his hand, and they turned their attention back to their work. After all, the job wasn't finished yet, and as long as there were no complaints, that was fine.

"What's wrong?" Tsuna asked, handing over the task of getting food to a boy next to him.

When our friend Shoko saw that he had something to talk to Tsuna about, she couldn't resist her curiosity and pretended to go get a drink of water to eavesdrop on the two of them.

"Hmm..." Naoto Nishikata thought of that girl, organized his thoughts, and slowly spoke:
"There's someone outside who claims to be your friend and wants to request your omelet rice."

He noticed Shoko leisurely drinking water beside him and swallowed the word "love" that was about to slip out.

"Friend?" x2
Tsuna looked helplessly at Shoko, who was also asking a question, and waved to her.

He understood perfectly well what Shoko meant; rather than letting her eavesdrop, he might as well have her come over and listen directly.

Anyway, she doesn't have any orders right now.

“Yeah, she said you and Nishimiya were class monitors in sixth grade.” Naoto Nishikata scratched the back of his head, looking at the two puzzled individuals.
"Isn't she...?"

"Can I say yes?" Tsuna nudged Shoko, who looked like she was about to kill someone, with his shoulder.

Shoko didn't speak, but stared straight at Tsuna, her meaning was already very clear.

And she had already planned it out: if she were to make the fried rice for Nishikata later, she would accidentally put in too much salt...

Of course, there's also this womanizer in front of me; I'll definitely take half of the ingredients from her fried rice and add it to my own.

"Nishikata, could you please tell her I'm busy?" Tsuna asked, raising his hand to shield her from her murderous glare after confirming his hands were clean.

“Okay.” Naoto Nishikata nodded, ignoring the two people in front of him as it was just their usual interaction, and turned to leave.

When Naoto Nishikata went out, he didn't see Sana Takagi, who had been drinking and resting there, so he went straight to table number five.

Takagi, not seeing what she wanted to see, went off to do her own thing.

It's a bit of a shame that we didn't get to see Shoko pick up the spatula and swing it at Nishikata. To be honest, she was still looking forward to it. "I see..." Kawai Miki said with a hint of regret, but there's still one more day tomorrow, so there should be another chance.

Hesitantly, she forced herself to ask, "Then...then...then...what happened to that sign outside your door after it was finished? Can it be sold?"

"... "

"..."

"........."

"The sign at the entrance, it was already agreed that it could only be sold or given away with the person's consent. You can ask Miyamura about it later."

Naoto Nishikata just wanted to escape as quickly as possible. He now understood what had happened and realized that he had almost died in the kitchen.

Miyamura and Nishimiya weren't flirting or anything; Miyamura was saving himself...

"Alright then." Kawai Miki stood up, made up a random excuse, and left.

Naoto Nishikata stood there watching the other person walk away before letting out a sigh of relief and turning his gaze away.

A few minutes later, a girl with long, straight black hair walked in. It was Naoka Ueno. Unfortunately, he was called in by Ayumi Ajitani to serve him.

"Hello, this is our menu."

“Okay, thank you.” Naoka Ueno took it without hesitation, unlike Miki Kawai, and went straight to the point:

"I'd like to order the special heart-shaped omelet rice."

"Yes, Master, which maid or butler would you like to name?" Naoto Nishikata skillfully took out a small notebook and a pen from his pocket.

“Miyamura Tsunayoshi,” Naoka Ueno replied without hesitation.

"..." Naoto Nishikata paused in his note-taking, then made two marks on the heart-shaped omelet rice dish that was called out at table number five.

"Master, Miyamura is busy and may not be back for a while."

"It's okay, I can wait."

"Hmm..." Naoto Nishikata was at a loss for words for a moment.

"Miyamura was called away by the teacher to help out at the track and field club, so he probably won't be coming back today."

At this moment, Takagi Sana, who couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward to explain, while also reaching out to nudge Nishikata Naoto from behind.

“Alright then…” Naoka Ueno nodded regretfully, then paused in her act of standing up, this time asking cautiously, “And you guys—”

"I'm very sorry." Takagi Sana guessed what she was going to say and interrupted her directly: "The standee at the door can only be given away or sold with the person's consent."

“Alright…” Naoka Ueno didn’t hesitate this time, took the buns and left.

"Phew..." Naoto Nishikata watched the other person's departing figure and let out a deep breath: "Thanks, Takagi-san."

"You're welcome." Takagi Sana left those words behind and turned to leave.

Before they knew it, it was noon. Shizuka Miyamura led Yuzuru Nishimiya, who was frantically taking pictures at the entrance, inside.

"Auntie, should I go and call Shimomiyamura and Shoko-chan out?" Takagi Sana stepped forward and asked in confusion.

They had met Tsuna's mother a few times, but they had never spent time with her. Even if they didn't know her personally, they recognized the little black-haired girl she was holding hands with.

She is Shoko-chan's adorable younger sister.
