My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 265 What a huge 'capital'!

"Tsuna, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Tsuna turned his gaze away from the distance and saw Shoko looking at him with a puzzled expression. He shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

Then, changing the subject, she asked, "Have you decided where to start your shopping trip?"

"Let's just take a look around first. Didn't Nanase-sensei say that club recruitment will last for a week?" Ayumi Ajitani interjected.

“That’s right, that’s right, there’s no rush anyway.” Shoko nodded, agreeing with Ayumi Ajitani’s suggestion.

Takagi Sana and Nishikata Naoto had no objections, and Tsuna had even fewer.

The group began to wander aimlessly around the club recruitment area. Whenever something interesting happened, Ayumi Ajitani would lead them over to join in the fun.

Along the way, Tsuna glanced at the "Kyoto Magical Nap Society of Summer" club several times through the crowd, mainly with a small purpose in mind.

That is to see if the male and female protagonists in their second year of high school have undergone any significant changes in appearance.

If I'm not mistaken, they should be in the early stages of their second year of high school right now; otherwise, 'May 7th Fennel' would have already graduated.

But when they got back, they didn't see Rikka Takanashi or Yuta Togashi. The recruitment office only had those two people from beginning to end.

But it doesn't matter. We should have a chance to meet in the next few days, and even if we don't, we'll definitely have a chance to meet in the next two years.

Anyway, he just wanted to take a look. As for asking him to personally find those people or apply to join their club?
……

He could only say that he wasn't that bored, and that when he first watched this show, he had only seen the first season, and even then, he watched it at double speed.

They're most likely in the second season right now, and he doesn't want to get involved or disturb them.

Unless he suddenly gets a system that rewards him with skills like fire-breathing and flying, or a magic light stick, he might go for it.

See you tomorrow, everyone.

"See you tomorrow."

"Bye-Bye."

The group said their goodbyes at the crossroads and then went their separate ways.

"Tsuna, do you think we should join the art club in high school...?" Shoko took someone's hand again and hesitated before speaking.

"It's up to you." After thinking it over, he decided not to interfere with her decision.

"But there are still so many illustrations I haven't drawn. I'm afraid that even if I sign up, I won't have time to participate in club activities..."

"..." Tsuna was speechless.

Hearing her say that, I felt like a heartless boss who exploits his employees.

He squeezed the hand that his classmate, Shoko, was holding with a helpless sigh. "Those illustrations aren't something we need right away. The first volume hasn't even been released yet, so why would we be in such a hurry?"

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the second volume will not begin printing for at least three to four months.

As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped and, under her questioning gaze, raised his other hand and pinched her soft cheek:

"Don't push yourself too hard, Shoko. You still have plenty of time."

Shoko lightly slapped away his groping hand and bumped her head against him. "It's a dozen or so, not a few."

"Do you want me to help you?"

"No, your drawing is too ugly. Even Sister Xiaoshun said your drawing is ugly."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shoko let go of his hand and started running forward, afraid that he would bully her because of what she had said.

But after running a few steps and not seeing him catch up, she silently retreated to his side. "Tsuna, why aren't you chasing me?"

“Childish…” Tsuna said casually, and a pair of teeth marks instantly appeared on his arm.

When he looked at her, only the back of her head was facing him, accompanied by a soft hum from Shoko.

The twilight bathed the shadows of the boys and girls in a honey-colored hue.

As the girl swung a cherry blossom branch and poked the boy's shoulder, the setting sun was dyeing the stray hairs at her temples golden brown, and the boy's movement of turning his head to dodge brought a minty scent.

The boy's fingertips, which he pretended to flick at her forehead, hovered in mid-air, and in the end, he only plucked half a withered cherry blossom from the girl's hair.

"Godmother, I'm back!"

"I am back."

After the two changed their shoes and entered the living room, they saw that there was another guest. The originally lively Shoko quickly became a little reserved.

Shizuka Miyamura introduced the girl sitting opposite her to the two people at the entrance to the living room:
"This is our new neighbor who moved in recently. Her name is Uzaki Tsuki. Please call her Aunt Uzaki."

Both of their gazes fell on each other's impressive 'assets' without prior notice, but the 'resolute' Tsuna quickly looked away before anyone else could realize it.

She nudged Shoko next to her, telling her not to go too far, since staring for too long would be impolite.

"Aunt Uzaki." x2
Tsuna and Shoko, who had finally come to their senses, entered the living room and politely greeted the other person, while also taking the time to observe other 'details' about them...

She had squinty eyes, but unlike the squinty eyes of Shimada Kazuki in his memory, Aunt Uzaki gave him a gentle and easy-going feeling.

Perhaps it was her youthful appearance combined with her risky hairstyle that gave him that impression...

Seeing this, Shizuka Miyamura introduced the two to Tsuki Uzaki, who then greeted them in return.

After a few brief pleasantries, Tsuna took Shoko back to his bedroom, leaving his mother and Uzaki Tsuki to chat in the living room below.

"Perverted Tsuna..." Shoko muttered under her breath, casually tossing her schoolbag aside.

"??"

"What's wrong with me?" Tsuna guessed what Shoko was referring to, but he would never admit it.

"Your eyes were practically glued to Aunt Uzaki just now!"

Tsuna walked up to her and grabbed her two noticeably fleshy cheeks:

"Are you talking about yourself? If I hadn't reminded you, you don't know what you would have been staring at!"

Well, the truth is, he only glanced at it at the beginning and didn't look at it again after that. He said he had no interest in being a traitor like Cao Cao.

Maybe... probably... no...

"I was just observing Aunt Uzaki's hairstyle, wondering if I should tie it up like that sometime?" Shoko shook off his hand, clearly being stubborn.

"That hairstyle is too risky; you can't pull it off."

"Dangerous? What's dangerous about that hairstyle?" Shoko asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, I was just talking nonsense, but believe me, you can't pull off that hairstyle..."

Finally, the two started discussing the hairstyle again, and it turned out that Tsuna had successfully avoided the topic, instead of focusing on Aunt Uzaki.

Afterwards, seeing that it was almost time, Shoko said goodbye and went home to help Grandma Nishimiya prepare dinner.

Tsuna followed her downstairs. He wasn't surprised to see that Aunt Uzaki had already left; she probably just came to have a brief chat with his mother.

Immediately afterwards, he went to the kitchen to help, only to be told by Shizuka Miyamura, "Go away and stay somewhere cool." He could only silently return to the living room and watch TV until Daiki Miyamura returned home, at which point dinner began.
