My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 315 Afraid of Grandma's Nagging

"That's okay..."

The blue-haired girl, who was supposed to be the neighbor, had no choice but to leave dejectedly, and the other girls who were about to surround her also stopped in their tracks upon hearing this.

Some girls who didn't believe in superstitions were politely persuaded to leave by Ayumi Ajitani.

"Miyamura, why didn't you secretly give it to me this morning?"

After that person left, Ayumi Azumi lay listlessly on the table, pouting and looking at him with dissatisfaction.

"Sorry, it's my fault." Tsuna took the two bento boxes from Shoko and said casually.

"..."

Ayumi Ajitani wanted Shoko to discipline him, but then she remembered that Shoko was the one being disciplined, so she could only sigh and choose to forgive him.

"Ayumi-chan, don't be angry. The important thing now is to eat."

“That’s true.” Ayumi Ajitani immediately regained her energy, took out her bento from the desk drawer and handed it to Tsuna. “Thank you for your help, sir.”

Tsuna nodded, took her bento box, and went downstairs with Nishikata, who was waiting behind him, to heat up the bento box.

"Miyamura, I want to ask how you managed to finish that 'dozen' of scripts in one night?" As he walked down the stairs, Nishikata couldn't contain his curiosity and chose to ask.

Although he knew Miyamura's strength, he still found it incredible. Ayumi Ajitani had also mentioned a few outrageous elements involved, which he was aware of as well.

Tsuna skillfully dodged the students chasing after him as they headed to the convenience store to buy lunch, and helplessly shrugged:
"There are plenty of opera librettos for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs available online."

I chose one that looked good, quickly browsed through it again, and after confirming there were no problems, I added the requirements the class monitor had made. The whole process took less than three hours.

"..."

He watched the Western film without saying a word, and then added, "Apart from Snow White and the Queen, the other supporting characters didn't have more than ten lines of dialogue, and the performance lasted only about 30 minutes."

"That...that..."

Tsuna noticed Nishikata's hesitant expression and saw his ears gradually turning red. Considering Nishikata's pure-hearted high school boy personality, Tsuna immediately guessed the question that the other was keeping to himself.

"The prince who finally kisses Snow White awake only has four lines from his entrance to his exit. Can you guess what those four lines are?"

But Nishikata's concern was clearly not about the second half of that sentence. After confirming with his eyes that there were no classmates around, he was about to ask a question when Tsuna ruthlessly shattered his fantasy:

"Don't even think about it. Kissing will be faked. It's impossible for you and Takagi to actually kiss."

“What—” Nishikata instinctively wanted to retort.

"And it's not even certain whether it will be your turn and Takagi-san to be the prince and princess. You could be the king and she could be the princess."

"..." Nishikata subconsciously swallowed, feeling a strange flutter in his heart...

Nishikata tacitly agreed, until the two heated up their bento boxes and returned to the classroom. Takagi noticed his unusual behavior, and he blushed and shook his head repeatedly to indicate that nothing was wrong.

During the meal, Ayumi Ajitani kept talking to Tsuna about the script revisions.

While he was distracted, Shoko quietly slipped the vegetables from his lunchbox into his own and secretly moved his tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet) away.

Seeing the ever-growing amount of vegetables in her lunchbox, Tsuna pinched her soft cheeks, about to ask her a question, when Shoko hurriedly begged for mercy:

"Ah, Tsuna... Oh, I misunderstood..."

As Tsuna pinched her soft cheeks, he stared at her oily lips and wondered:
"Shoko-kun, why did you put so many vegetables in your bento box if you don't like them?"

“Grandma insists that a balanced diet of meat and vegetables is healthy, so I added more vegetables to my plate because I was afraid of being nagged,” Shoko said, feeling a little guilty as she looked at her reflection in his eyes. “Then what’s with stuffing so many fried pork cutlets into my plate?” Tsuna asked, rubbing her cheek with his thumb, his fingertip sinking into her soft face.

"Because I told Grandma that you get a lot of exercise at school and need to eat more protein to keep going..."

Shoko tried to explain guiltily, but the second half of her sentence, "That way Grandma won't nag me," circled around her lips three times before she finally swallowed it back.

"..."

Tsuna rubbed her for a while, then reluctantly let go. Seeing that he had completely believed the reason, Shoko openly and honestly started exchanging side dishes.

"You need to eat some vegetables too." Unable to bear it any longer, Tsuna gave her a light tap on the head.

"Oh..." Shoko rubbed her head, looking aggrieved.

"what……"

"?"

As soon as Shoko looked up, she saw Tsuna holding a golden, shiny fried pork cutlet in front of her with his chopsticks.

She immediately forgot about her little grievances and bit down without hesitation.

His cheeks immediately puffed out like a hamster's, and as he chewed, he suddenly blurted out incoherently, "Tsuna, I forgive you!"

"Thank you for forgiving me..."

The other three were already used to this scene. Takagi and Nishikata silently chose to ignore it, while only Ayumi Ajitani, who was opposite Tsuna, looked at the two with a maternal smile.

------

The lunch boxes from the lunch break were still lying on the table when, in the blink of an eye, the sound of backpack straps snapping on the back of the classroom could be heard. Outside the window, the baseball team's neat running slogans, mixed with the chirping of cicadas in September, flooded into the classroom.

“Boom…boom…boom…!”

As the special school bell rang, the students in the class tacitly remained in their seats, waiting for Ms. Nanase to enter the classroom.

"Let me see..." Ms. Nanase walked into the classroom with her laptop and then projected the contents onto the large screen behind her.

Considering that this was Ayumi Azurani's first time organizing an opera-related program, she only allowed Ayumi Azurani to assist her from the sidelines.

Nanase-sensei's gaze swept over the students below, finally lingering on Tsuna's listless face for a few seconds before retreating:
"This is the person in charge of the opera performance, mainly responsible for overall planning, coordinating the progress of various departments, and liaising with the school's executive committee on budget and venue applications."

Anyone want to apply and give it a try?

As she expected, not a single student raised their hand, and even Ayumi Azurani, who was standing next to her, didn't raise her hand for fear of messing things up.

"Then the teacher will take on the role of overall coordinator. Does anyone have any objections?"

The students below shook their heads, feeling more at ease with the teacher's assistance.

"Okay, but teachers need to be paid if they do it for you."

The students hesitated for a moment, but felt that Ms. Nanase's decision was reasonable. After all, it was impossible to help for free, and no one would choose to work overtime without pay during their off-duty hours.

"Okay." Ms. Nanase nodded, observing the reactions of the students below, then looked at Ayumi Ajitani with gentle eyes and said:
"Then the squad leader will assist me. I'll guide you through the process this time, and the remaining two attempts will be up to you."

Ayumi Ajitani had no objection to this, only feeling a little regretful that she couldn't perform on stage.

As the director and stage manager, Ms. Nanase invited a well-known music teacher and assigned several people to assist her, while also learning from her.
