My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 275 It's all Shin-chan and Nishikata's fault
When Shoko returned to the Miyamura house, the night was already filled with stars.

Tsuna was explaining to Shizuka Miyamura about the books that would be put on the bookstore shelves on Thursday.

Around 4 PM, Shizuka Miyamura received an unidentified package. Combined with what Tsuna had just told her, she figured it out.

"Why not release a limited edition autographed version on the first day of sale?" Shizuka Miyamura pulled Shoko over to sit next to her and asked curiously.

Ah Gang waved his hand: "Sister Xiao Shun mentioned to me that she wanted me to sign more than 500 books, but I declined because I didn't have time."

"..."

"So, Tsuna, how much can your autograph price go?" Shoko asked curiously.

"You're being a bit presumptuous, Shoko-san." Tsuna raised his hand to poke her fair forehead, but she leaned back and dodged it.
"Because it's a new author and a new book, the price has only increased by about 100 yen."

(100 yen is approximately equal to 5 yuan)

Back then, Sister Xiaoshun also told him that if they were to make a signed limited edition, it would be 82 cents, he would get 80 cents and the publisher 20 cents, so he could get 80 yen...

After a few more brief words, Tsuna and his companion were ushered out of the living room by Shizuka Miyamura, who told them to go back upstairs to do their homework.

Meanwhile, Miyamura Daio, who was quietly eating fruit by the coffee table, was sent back to his study to work because she said he was disturbing her while she was watching her drama.

"Tsuna, look, Futaba Publishing has already posted a teaser for your new book on social media."

Back in his room on the second floor, Shoko excitedly held up her phone in front of him.

The content on the phone was exactly as she had said, and there were already more than 10,000 comments under that announcement.

Tsuna nodded, not having any particular thoughts on the matter, since it was all agreed upon beforehand.

After a few words, the two began to deal with their own matters: Shoko's illustrations and Tsuna's checking and revising the rest of his light novels.

However, every now and then, he could vaguely sense that Shoko was glancing in his direction.

"Shoko, is there something you want to ask me?" Tsuna, finally unable to bear it any longer, decided to speak first.

He thought it must be a problem with the illustration, which was why Shoko was too embarrassed to ask.

"Um……"

Shoko put down her stylus and began to organize her thoughts. Ayumi suggested she try to be cute with Tsuna...

But here's the problem... she seems unsure how to start... or rather, she doesn't know how to begin...

"Is there a problem with the novel's illustrations?" Tsuna leaned forward.

The picture on the tablet looked normal; the male and female protagonists were still uncolored. This made him even more puzzled. It seemed the problem wasn't with the illustrations...

Shoko pushed his head away, hesitated for a moment, and then chose to be direct, "Tsuna, are you hiding something from me...?"

The girl's classic question left Tsuna momentarily stunned, but he quickly realized what she meant and started brainstorming.

"........."

"..."

The only sound in the room was the whirring of the computer case fan.

"Okay, I'll tell you the truth," Tsuna said after a long while, shaking off the jumbled memories in his mind, and looked at Shoko, who was pretending to be serious.
"I found 1,000 yen downstairs at Futaba Publishing House yesterday afternoon."

After saying that, he planned to take out the thousand yen from his wallet to prove his innocence.

"..."

“Not this one.” Shoko almost lost her composure, interrupting him as he took out his wallet.

"Not this?" Tsuna pushed up his reflective glasses. "Could it be about last weekend when I stole the strawberry from your cake...?"

"..."

"It's not this..."

"Uh……"

"That was the time before last after school, when a girl asked me to go to the rooftop to confess her feelings...?" Shoko was taken aback; she had never heard anyone mention this before.

However, since Tsuna still didn't bring up what she asked, she could only take a deep breath, grit her teeth, and deny it: "It's not this..."

"Not yet?" Tsuna continued to recall, seeing that she didn't react. "Hmm..."

Afterwards, Tsuna told Shoko about all the big and small things that had happened in the past four months that she didn't know about.

It's not that he was hiding it from her, but rather that he felt there was nothing to say and therefore never brought it up.

He would only tell her if she asked him directly.

"No...not this one!" Shoko's fist hardened.

"Is that not true? Then there really isn't any left." Tsuna shrugged; he couldn't think of anything else right now.

Shoko suppressed her emotions and forced a gentle smile: "I just wanted to ask why the browser on your phone is locked."

At that moment, he suddenly realized what was going on, and immediately went to the bedside, picked up his phone, and unlocked it in front of her—using fingerprint unlock instead of digital unlock.

"I've forgotten what the password is; I use my fingerprint. You can register yours later too."

Tsuna casually handed her his phone, on which a browser had already been unlocked.

Without saying a word, Shoko snatched the phone and nervously and curiously clicked into the browsing history, only to be 'disappointed' and return the phone.

It wouldn't be accurate to say she was disappointed; it was just that her experience differed slightly from what Ayumi Azurani had told her.

A-Gang's browser history was full of searches for publishing houses and motorcycle driver's licenses; those unknown websites were completely blank...

It seemed so normal that she had some doubts, but the facts were undeniable.

Knowing she was in the wrong, Shoko immediately began apologizing to Tsuna, who was sitting on the bed, and even sincerely signed an unequal treaty.

Three lap pillow coupons, two hug coupons, and one kiss coupon that Tsuna earned by bargaining with his eloquence.

"Alright, I forgive you, Shoko. Please don't be so suspicious next time. You can just ask me anything."

Tsuna raised the six freshly made scrolls in his hand, barely suppressing the urge to grin wildly from his lips.

There's definitely a problem with the browser, but it's just some limited edition photos, nothing serious.

It was mostly shared with him by Shin-chan and Nishikata, and he accidentally saved it, so he can only blame the two of them.

As for why Xiaozi's browser history looks so normal now?

That must mean he was prepared in advance, had a backup plan, cleared the records, and only kept the unimportant ones.

Two weeks ago, he discovered that his classmate, Shoko, was hiding something from him, and that she would borrow his phone for about thirty minutes every day when she came to his place, without letting him look at it.

Unlike Masao, he quickly noticed the problem. He checked the daily app usage statistics on his phone and immediately spotted the anomaly.

"Tsuna, now that you've forgiven me, let's talk about the things you've been hiding from me!"

Shoko gave him a friendly smile, and before he could react, she pounced on him with both feet.

"Wait--"

The six tickets scattered on the floor, along with Shoko riding on someone's back, instantly turned the room into chaos.

"The disappearing strawberry, the rooftop confession, the landmine girl's harassment, threatening Yuzuru to run errands for you, and secretly taking photos of me drooling in my sleep!"

You've been hiding quite a few things from me!

"Wait, I can solve this—"

--------

"What are those two kids doing up there, making so much noise..."

Instead of going up to check, Shizuka Miyamura turned up the TV volume.
