My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 313 The School Festival in Mid-October

"Great!!"

"Is this information from Nanase-sensei reliable?"

"Can I ask for leave then? I'd rather take leave than participate in these activities..."

"I want to open a maid café!"

Nanase-sensei's forehead vein throbbed, and she looked up and pressed her head down, as the boisterous cheers gradually turned into whispers.

"You've all probably organized or participated in school festivals before, so I won't say much more. Let's start voting now."

After saying that, Ms. Nanase on the podium looked at Ayumi Ajitani in the back row and waved to her: "Ayumi, I'll leave this to you. I'll assist you from the side."

Ayumi Azurani stepped onto the podium and began skillfully organizing the students below, excluding the few who were causing trouble and trying to attract her attention.

I wrote down the various school festival programs they mentioned on the blackboard behind me.

"Let me see……"

"Hmm..." Ayumi Ajitani stared at the program list on the blackboard, and after confirming that there was nothing to add, she started the class vote.

Just before the school bell rang in the afternoon, the opera performance and the haunted house adventure program won by two votes.

“Boom…boom…boom…!”

Ms. Nanase, who was standing next to the podium, said, "Ayumi, you can go down now. I'll take care of the rest."

Ayumi Azurani nodded and returned to her seat below.

"We still have more than a month to rehearse. If we asked everyone to choose an opera performance now, they probably wouldn't be able to come up with anything."

So school's out now, and we'll vote again at the same time tomorrow.

As she spoke, Ms. Nanase began tidying up the chalk scattered on the podium. "That's all for today. Everyone, please be careful on your way home."

As soon as she stepped out of the classroom, the class erupted in noise, with the sounds of desks being slammed and chairs being pushed and pulled.

"I never expected that she would actually choose opera performance in the end," Nishikata remarked, then looked at Ayumi Ajitani.
"Class monitor, you didn't cheat while counting, did you?"

"..."

Ayumi Ajitani, without a hint of guilt, retorted jokingly, "Nishikata, shouldn't you be more concerned about whether you can team up with Takagi-chan for the opera performance?"

"Wha...what? How could I possibly care about something like that!"

Nishikata instinctively wanted to look at the person next to him, but Ayumi Ajitani interrupted him in advance: "Don't look, Takagi-chan and Shoko-chan just went to the restroom."

"..." Having been exposed, Nishikata could only blush and remain silent.

He didn't speak, but Ayumi Ajitani clearly wasn't going to let him off the hook, looking at him with a mischievous grin: "Nishikata-kun~"

"Wh...what are you doing?" Nishikata didn't want to pay attention to her, but he couldn't stand her gaze.

Ayumi Azurani smiled and raised an eyebrow at him:
"Let's make a deal. No matter what opera program we choose, I'll try my best to make you and Takagi-chan a team, inside and out, how about it?"

Nishikata looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Inside and outside partnership? What do you mean...?"

As for the deal she proposed, he was tempted, but he still wanted to hear the terms she offered first.

Tsuna tidied up the textbooks in his desk drawer and explained before she could:
"When you're working, you'll be paired with Takagi, and you'll also be paired with Takagi for roles in opera performances."

Before he could even nod in agreement, Shoko and Takagi returned to the classroom, so Nishikata could only send her a message on LINE on his phone to indicate his acceptance.

"Why aren't you all done yet?"

"OK OK."

"Let's go."

Until they parted ways at the school gate, neither Ayumi Ajitani nor Nishikata mentioned what had just happened to Shoko and Tsuna, who was too lazy to bring it up either.

"See you tomorrow."

"Bye-bye." "Ayumi-chan, please be careful while riding your bike."

"Takagi-chan, you should be more worried about Shoko-chan and Miyamura than about me." Ayumi Ajitani pushed her bicycle and walked beside the two of them.

"Those two have long since disappeared, there's no point in caring about them even if you want to." Takagi shrugged helplessly as he watched the figures on the street ahead gradually shrink.

"Then I'll leave first. See you tomorrow."

"Bye-Bye."

Before leaving, Ayumi Ajitani gave Nishikata a wink, leaving Takagi completely confused.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The sky between the high-rise buildings slowly darkened into a bluish-gray, and the crowds at the Shibuya Crossing hurried by. Streetlights and neon lights lit up one after another, and the air still retained a bit of the daytime heat.

"Tsuna, a lot of people left comments on my new illustrated post saying I must not go astray. What does that mean?"

Shoko squeezed next to him and asked curiously.

Despite the high earnings from her illustration work, she's still a novice, and she doesn't join those online chat groups for illustrators.

She had to figure it out almost entirely on her own, or at worst ask Xue-senpai from the art department, but those questions were only about illustration.

"..." Tsuna really didn't know how to explain for a moment, and after hesitating for a long time, he chose not to explain...

"These kinds of comments can be ignored... they're neither bad nor good reviews."

'He's not even a human being...' he thought to himself.

"Oh." Shoko nodded, seemingly understanding, then swung her legs and continued to ask:

"Tsuna, has Sister Shun mentioned 'I want to eat your pancreas' been going to be printed yet?"

"Let me ask."

After saying that, Tsuna picked up the black-screened phone next to him and sent a message to Kazuno Jun. While waiting, he chatted with Shoko about other things.

"Ding dong..."

The phone screen lit up and then went out with the notification sound.

"how is it going?"

"I haven't looked at it yet." Tsuna ruthlessly pushed away Shoko's soft face that was pressed against him, and took his phone to check it.

"Printing will begin in late November." Tsuna showed her the chat log: "That means you have about three months left."

"No problem then, there's plenty of time." Shoko patted her bouncy chest and assured him repeatedly, "I will absolutely complete the task you assigned me, Tsuna, perfectly."

"Are you sure you don't need my help?"

“No need.” Shoko shook her head without hesitation.

Before he could ask again, Shoko continued, "Our drawing styles are too different, and Tsuna, your drawing is too ugly."

"..."

Feeling offended, Tsuna decided to retaliate by directly rubbing her head.

------

The next afternoon.

“Boom…boom…boom…!”

"Clap clap clap...!"

As the school bell rang, Ms. Nanase closed her textbook and slammed her hand on the podium to calm the restless students.

"I'll take up thirty minutes of your time. Now let's vote. I think everyone has already decided which opera to perform, right?"
