Chapter 346 Little Fatty

"I am back."

"Welcome home!"

"Wang!"

"Yuzuru?"

As Gang was changing his shoes in the entryway, he looked up and saw two furry heads, one higher and one lower, peeking out neatly from the edge of the living room door frame.

Above is Yuzuru Nishimiya's bright, slightly mischievous smile, while below is Hachiko sticking out his tongue, both of his bright eyes fixed on Tsuna.

"What are you...?"

He was just wondering when he was interrupted by Yuzuru Nishimiya's crisp laugh.

She walked briskly toward Tsuna while laughing, followed by Hachiko, who was also excitedly taking small, shuffling steps with his tail wagging like a propeller.

Yuzuru leaned close to Tsuna, standing on tiptoe, her little hands almost poking Tsuna's neck, laughing so hard she almost fell over:

"Tsuna-nii, your neck is hilarious... haha... those mosquitoes really know how to bite! Haha..."

"..."

Considering that Yuzuru was only in the first year of junior high school and hadn't even taken a physiology class, he didn't explain much and didn't want to continue the conversation on that topic.

I could only nod and try to brush it off.

After laughing for a while, Nishimiya Yuzuru squatted down to change her shoes and explained, "I came here to find Hachiko, and I was planning to go for a walk with him in the park."

She paused, then looked up and met Tsuna's gaze, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Tsuna-nii, do you want to come along?"

"No." Tsuna decisively crossed his arms, making an X, leaving no room for negotiation.

Immediately afterwards, a gentle "Be careful on the road" was uttered, and with a single step, she turned and walked straight into the living room.

"Ugh……"

Rejected, Yuzuru Nishimiya could only sigh, thinking that if Tsuna agreed, he could ask him to treat him to snacks later, without having to spend his allowance...

The thought came quickly and went quickly. In the blink of an eye, she was back to her energetic self. Without her having to do anything, Hachiko had already put on the leash on his own.

"I'm going out!"

"Woof~!"

Two voices drifted from the entrance hall into the living room. Before Shizuka Miyamura's words of advice could even finish, the sound of the door closing with a "click" reached their ears.

"Do you want me to put some medicine on there?" Shizuka Miyamura's gaze shifted from the television to Tsuna's conspicuous neck.

“No need,” Tsuna shook his head, picked up an orange from the coffee table and started peeling it: “It should go away in a few days.”

Hmm...that is, provided that Glass won't plant any more...

“Okay then,” Shizuka Miyamura, who was about to get up to get him the medicine, suddenly lost her strength and slumped back into the sofa.

She lazily raised her hand and lightly patted Tsuna's back with a "smack":
"Go... the strawberries in the fridge are yours. I'm too lazy to move them. Hurry up and wash some to serve me."

"..."

He had no choice but to put down the orange he had peeled halfway and get up to leave the living room for the dining room.

When he returned to the living room carrying a full glass bowl of freshly washed strawberries.

The situation on the coffee table had changed drastically. The orange that had just been "gutted" and was lying pitifully on the tissue was nowhere to be seen, leaving only a few scattered pieces of orange peel and the lingering fresh fruity fragrance in the air.

At the same time, a clear and satisfied swallowing sound came perfectly from the direction of the sofa...

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.

"La la la... la la la..."

Yuzuru Nishimiya hummed a song as she led Hachiko into Futaba Park, where they began their usual stroll. It was a little past three in the afternoon, the sun was just right, and the breeze was as soft and gentle as freshly dried plush clothing, warming the face and neck with a slight heat without causing dryness.

On the rubberized jogging track, people began to move around. Several young mothers pushed strollers, and the little babies inside were snoring or half-asleep with their eyes open.
There were also grandmothers holding children's hands, walking and talking softly as they went.

The shadows of the trees began to lengthen, creeping softly across the ground; the sunlight, however, remained golden and bright, gently and warmly covering everyone, as if embracing the entire park.

Just then, a voluptuous dark figure leaped out from around the corner and blocked the way for the man and the dog.

"Hey! Young man."

"..."

Nishimiya Yuzuru was startled by the sudden appearance of the dark figure, and only after she came to her senses did she realize that it was the chubby boy from yesterday.

Hachiko seemed to have already sensed the other's presence and realized that the other had no ill intentions towards Nishimiya Yuzuru, so he lazily nestled in the sunlight and did not disturb the two.

"What are you doing here? Did someone bully you again?" Nishimiya Yuzuru peeked around and looked behind him, only to find no one was there before she began to wonder.

"No," Nagatsuka Tomohiro exaggeratedly spread his empty hand across his chest, making a wronged expression:

"Do I look that timid, like someone who's easy to bully?"

"Yes! It's just like it! It's so similar!" Nishimiya Yuzuru nodded his head without hesitation, his big eyes filled with sincere affirmation.

"Wang!"

Even more surprisingly, Hachiko, who had been daydreaming, suddenly looked up and loudly echoed in the direction of Nagatoshi Tomohiro.

"..."

As Yuhiro Nagatsuka turned to leave, carrying a bag with the convenience store logo, he suddenly felt like the conversation wasn't going well...

"What are you doing here?" Ignoring the other person's injured expression, Nishimiya Yuzuru asked in confusion.

"I came to visit you," he said with a smile, gently lifting the bag of snacks in his hand.

"By the way, thank you for your help yesterday! Thanks to you, things were peaceful at school all day today, and those guys didn't dare to cause any trouble."

His tone was filled with lighthearted gratitude.

"..."

The moment she saw the snack bag, Yuzuru Nishimiya's eyes lit up, but she didn't fall for it immediately. Like a little fox, she deliberately looked away.

When she turned back, she crossed her arms, wearing a "I've seen through you all along" expression, and mercilessly went straight to the heart of the matter: "Hmph, suspicious, little fatty!"

She leaned forward slightly. "You wouldn't... be so lonely that you can't find anyone to play with, so you brought snacks to play with me, would you...?"

"..."

"No...no way!" Nagatsu Tomohiro quickly replied, "I have tons of friends at school!"

After saying that, fearing that Nishimiya Yuzuru wouldn't believe him, he quickly added, "Really? I came today just to thank you for your help yesterday!"

Nishimiya Yuzuru remained silent, his eyes narrowed into long slits, his sharp gaze fixed on Nagatomo Tomohiro's face like nails.

Feeling his scalp tingling and his back almost sweating from being stared at, Nagatoshi Tomohiro finally couldn't withstand the oppressive atmosphere and managed to squeeze out a dry, hoarse voice: "Okay..."

"I believe it!"

The scrutinizing look in Nishimiya Yuzuru's eyes vanished in an instant, replaced by a beaming, matter-of-fact smile as she stretched out her small hand in front of him.
"Give me the snacks~"

"..."

If the chubby boy didn't believe her at this point, he might take the snacks back, so the clever Yuzuru Nishimiya chose to nod and lie.

Let's get the snacks first, hehe...

If it weren't for the fact that Mom and my sister have been so strict with her about her cavities lately, we wouldn't be in this situation...
