My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 248 Love Amidst a Home Invasion Robbery

"What are you doing, Ayumi-chan?"

Shoko gently slapped her hand away, yawning, completely bewildered, utterly unable to understand why Ayumi was so excited.

Ayumi Ajitani realized she had gotten a little too excited, so she took a deep breath, pushed the table together with the others, and sat down to ask them about the glass.

It wasn't until Naoto Nishikata returned that Ayumi Ajitani and Sana Takagi stopped asking questions and learned that the 'adult' in Tsuna's family deserved the most credit for the rapid publication of the physical book.

"That's great, Nishikata! You managed to snag some yakisoba bread this time."

Ayumi Ajitani watched Naoto Nishikata enjoying his lunch with a touch of envy.

As for surprise, the question just now has already exhausted the surprise, and I can no longer feel any surprise.

Her words also drew the attention of Tsuna and Shoko, who then noticed that he was holding a yakisoba bread that was limited to the school's daily supply.

Normally, the only things Nishikata could buy at the convenience store were rice balls or sandwiches.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it, just glanced at it briefly before looking away and continuing to eat his bento.

"Do you want one? I managed to grab two, I can share one with you."

After saying that, Naoto Nishikata reached into the drawer of the table to take out another one.

Ayumi Ajitani was a little tempted, but she still sensibly declined, saying, "No, I appreciate your kindness, you can have it."

As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced at Takagi Sana beside her without making a sound, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Sana was still quietly eating her bento.

Seeing everyone around her in pairs, she sometimes thought about finding one to show off, but she would quickly dismiss the idea.

Although these people haven't officially become a couple yet, they're not far off.

Besides, finding a partner is too much trouble; she still longs for a love affair that feels like a robbery.

For example, one day on her day off, she stayed home reading comics instead of going out with Shoko-chan and the others, when suddenly a tall, handsome, and devoted thief broke into her house.

In that instant, their eyes met, and then the other person fell hopelessly in love with her!

"Ayumi-chan, your bento will get cold again if you don't eat it soon."

Everyone around was drawn to Ayumi Ajitani's silly grin, but in the end, it was Shoko who couldn't stand it anymore and waved her hand in front of her to remind her.

"Oh...oh, right, right, right." Ayumi Ajitani ignored the stares from those people and continued eating her bento.

Sana Takagi, standing to the side, shook her head helplessly. This child has been like this since first grade, and now that she's about to graduate, it's gotten even worse.

To outsiders, the girls around were only curious about what the class monitor was laughing about, while most of the boys thought the class monitor was really cute!
After the little incident, the three girls continued chatting about the latest gossip, with Naoto Nishikata occasionally chiming in, while Tsuna listened quietly the whole time.

After finishing their bento boxes, the group moved the tables and chairs back to their original positions. Tsuna took the empty bento box from Shoko's table:
"I'll take the lunchbox to wash. You can take another nap while we still have more than thirty minutes left."

"Mmm." Shoko nodded. "Tsuna, remember to wake me up for class."

He watched the three of them leave the classroom before turning his gaze away, taking off his hearing aid, and closing his eyes while resting his head on the desk.

----------

The pale golden sunlight slanted across the streets of Tokyo, while the chill of late winter still lingered in the shade.

A thin mist veiled the café's windows. Pedestrians, bundled in wool coats, hurried by, their sleeves occasionally brushing against drooping plum branches, causing a few petals to flutter down like fallen snow. "Thump...thump...thump...!"

"Students, please be careful on your way home after school."

The teacher on the podium closed his textbook, turned and walked towards the classroom door, not forgetting to turn back and jokingly say:
"Remember to wake up any sleeping classmates, as staying overnight at school is not allowed."

He chuckled and walked out of the classroom, but the people in the classroom didn't find it funny at all; they were only excited about the school dismissal notice.

After tidying up the books on his desk, Tsuna turned around and reached out to shake Shoko, who was still asleep. "Shoko, wake up, school's over."

"Okay, Tsuna, class is about to start, right?"

Shoko rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up straight, her hazy gaze sweeping over the students in the classroom.

The single-core processor, which was already struggling to handle forced startup, became even more overwhelmed by the students chasing, playing, and packing their bags in the classroom.

"Tsuna, is school letting out early...?"

Before Tsuna could explain, Ayumi Ajitani, who was sitting in front of her, turned around and begged for mercy:
"Shoku-chan, it's not that we didn't want to call you that, it's that Miyamura stopped us from calling you that! Blame him..."

"what……?"

Shoko, with her hearing aid back on, found it hard to understand what she was saying until she caught a glimpse of the time on the blackboard. She then slowly turned to look at someone with a shocked expression:
"Tsuna...didn't you wake me up for class?"

If he can't explain it clearly, I'll give him a headbutt when we get back.

"I just wanted you to sleep a little longer because you looked so tired...?"
Moreover, that afternoon lesson with Teacher Xintong was so long-winded; he kept rambling on about his own past, it wasn't as good as the lesson I gave you tonight.

Shoko wrinkled her nose at him, gave a soft snort, and looked away, starting to pack her schoolbag.

Whether this explanation is acceptable or not, Tsuna doesn't know, but judging from Shoko's lack of interest, it's probably acceptable...

After saying goodbye at the school gate, the group headed off to different streets.

Because of the illustration issue, Tsuna and Shoko have already explained the reason to Naruko-sensei on their phones, and they probably won't be going to the art club for the rest of the time.

While surprised, Ms. Naruko expressed her understanding and told the two to submit their resignation applications and complete the handover of the club leadership when the time came.

On the way home, Tsuna and Shoko were chatting happily when he was suddenly attacked by her headbutt.

In the end, he could only swallow his anger and wait for another opportunity to take revenge and humiliate her.

As dusk settles, indigo clouds dye the sky a rusty red, and the last rays of the setting sun climb onto the vermilion eaves of Senso-ji Temple, imprinting the silhouettes of flocks of pigeons onto the stone steps.

The streetlights lit up one by one, and the cheerful laughter of pedestrians mingled with the electronic sounds leaking from the automatic doors of convenience stores and the steam from oden.

"Tsuna, why are you giving me 1% of your royalties???"

After finishing dinner, Shoko arrived at the Miyamura house and saw Tsuna in the living room. The first thing she said was this sentence.

This afternoon, Yaeko Nishimiya returned home and explained what happened this morning to her at the dining table.

Fearing she wouldn't understand, I explained it in an even simpler way.

This naturally shocked Shoko. If they hadn't been eating at the time, she would have rushed over to ask him immediately.
