My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 349 Arriving at the Destination

"Glass sauce, over here! Over here!"

As soon as the two entered the school gate, before their eyes could even scan the neatly lined buses inside, they were drawn to Ayumi Ajitani's shouts.

Tsuna, holding Shoko's hand, walked towards Ayumi, who was waving. A few steps closer, they realized that most of the class was already gathered there, waiting.

"Ayumi-chan, what's going on...?"

Ayumi Ajitani glanced at the backpacks behind the two and explained, "Once the rest of you arrive, we'll take a bus to the Shinkansen to transfer."

After saying that, she asked the two of them with a puzzled look, "Shoko-chan, are you two each carrying one bag?"

“Yes.” Shoko nodded: “Change of clothes, pajamas, some preventative medication, plus a charging cable and power bank.”

There were also some other odds and ends in Tsuna's bag; that's all I had.

When Ayumi heard this, she glanced at the suitcase at her feet without saying a word, and could only give a dry laugh before changing the subject.

"Ms. Nanase said that we can just wear the school uniform on the day we go and the day we come back."

"Uh-huh."

"And another thing, I've already planned everything out these past two days. This 4-night, 5-day study trip will definitely give you a satisfactory result! Hahaha..."

"..."

A few students who were still in the classroom received Ayumi Ajitani's call to gather and also flocked to the playground.

As soon as Takagi and Nishikata appeared, she eagerly raised her arms, waving them at them as she jumped.

With only a few minutes left before departure, Ms. Nanase arrived at the playground, and her first question was about Ayumi Ajitani:

"Ayumi, is everyone here now? Is anyone missing?"

"Except for Ishida Shoya, who was on leave, everyone is here."

"Okay, everyone get on the bus, let's get ready to go."

Seeing Ms. Nanase nod in acknowledgment, the bus driver immediately pressed the button to open the doors. The students, who had been waiting outside, rushed onto the bus under the guidance of Ayumi Ajitani.

After about a 30-minute drive, we arrived at the Shinkansen station.

Under the guidance of Ms. Nanase and with the assistance of Ayumi Ajitani, every student in the class boarded the 'Hikari' train bound for their destination.

The train journey from Tokyo to Osaka took three hours, meandering along the tracks. The scenery outside the window didn't hold Tsuna's attention; after less than ten minutes, he became drowsy and quickly drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, Shoko and Takagi surrounded Ayumi Ajitani, making her take out her deck of cards, and the three of them used cards to pass the time on this long journey.

As soon as they exited the station, Ms. Nanase led the entire class onto the waiting bus.

Not long after the train started moving, students began to gag, their faces turning pale, unable to withstand the continuous jolting and the fatigue accumulated from the long journey.

On the contrary, Tsuna and Shoko didn't seem to be acting strangely, because they had been taken to the wilderness by Miyamura Shizuka quite a bit over the past few years.

"It's here, it's here."

No amount of comforting words from Nanase-sensei could compare to Ayumi Ajitani's single sentence.

Before the bus had even come to a complete stop, many students with pale faces stood up, some of them covering their mouths tightly.

As Tsuna was walking at the back of the bus, Shoko was about to get off when he spotted his classmates retching by a tree on the roadside.

Worried that this sight would remind Shoko of the discomfort of traveling by car, he covered her eyes without saying a word.

I was just beginning to take a look at the hot spring hotel where I would be staying for five days and four nights.

The hot spring hotel is built against the mountain and is completely surrounded by dense forests. The hotel is like a small world hidden in the forest, with steam rising from all directions, creating a hazy white atmosphere.

He guessed that the backyard was where the hot springs were located. The hot spring hotel didn't look big from the outside, but it could accommodate two classes, more than sixty students.

This doesn't even include tourists who come here for leisure. "Tsuna, if you hadn't told me the name, I would have thought it was Grandpa's hot spring inn!"

As she spoke, Shoko gently pried open the fingers covering his eyes, peering around through the gaps. Before she finished speaking, she let out a soft exclamation: "Wow...!"

"..."

Gang lowered the hand that was covering her eyes. "If we don't have anything to do tomorrow or the day after, we can go visit Grandpa."

"Okay!"

Shoko agreed without hesitation, but later began to hesitate: "Isn't it true that I have to report to Nanase-sensei before going out?"

"Yeah." Tsuna nodded.

Yu Guang noticed Nishikata among the retching crowd, and next to him was Takagi, who was constantly poking Nishikata's back with a small twig. Without paying much attention, he continued:

"It's okay, we'll just bring our all-powerful class monitor along, and Takagi Nishikata and the others too."

"That--"

"Clap clap clap..."

Once the students' vomiting had subsided and their breathing had calmed down, Ms. Nanase clapped her hands twice forcefully, the crisp sound immediately silencing the surrounding chatter.

She turned around and met up with another teacher, and began to efficiently arrange the room allocation and key distribution.

The rooms were assigned according to class, with boys and girls sharing the six rooms equally. Shoko and her friends were naturally assigned together, and Tsuna and Nishikata also happened to be roommates.

After everyone had put their luggage and other belongings away, Ms. Nanase called the students of Class 3 to gather in the open space outside the hotel.

After explaining the precautions, Ms. Nanase turned and left.

The long and bumpy journey had exhausted the students. Without much thought, they staggered toward their assigned rooms, wanting nothing more than to collapse onto their beds.

As for exploring the novelties and mysteries of Osaka? We'll have to wait until we've had enough rest this afternoon.

As soon as she returned to her hotel room, Shoko took off her wooden clogs and stepped onto the tatami mat in her black stockings.

Seeing that her roommates hadn't returned yet, she turned her gaze to Ayumi Ajitani, who was chatting with Takagi, and struck up a conversation:

"Ayumi-chan, what are our plans for tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow? Wait a minute, let me see." Ayumi Ajitani replied, turning to the side and grabbing her own bag from the pile of schoolbags against the wall.

He deftly unzipped the zipper, fumbled around for a few moments, and quickly pulled out a pocket notebook, flipping through it rapidly.

"Hmm... Osaka Castle Park in the morning, Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan in the afternoon!" she said, holding up the contents of her notebook in front of Shoko.

"This……"

"What's wrong, Shoko? Do you have something planned for tomorrow?" Takagi asked, voicing his doubts.

“Yes,” Shoko nodded, “I’m thinking of going to visit Tsuna’s grandfather tomorrow, and I was thinking of inviting you guys to come along.”

"Let's go see it tomorrow?"

"Grandpa?"

"Isn't this inappropriate?" x2
Takagi and Ayumi Ajitani spoke in unison.

"Miyamura went to visit his grandfather, and you, as his girlfriend, were introduced to his grandfather. There's nothing wrong with that..."

Before Takagi could finish speaking, Ayumi Ajitani naturally followed up with her last sentence: "But wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to go?"

"No, you've misunderstood me. Tsuna's grandfather knows me, no need for introductions..."
