My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 351 The Hotel After Many Years
"Yeah, Ayumi-chan, if you guys agree, we can just leave this afternoon!" Shoko, now fully recovered, chimed in.
"Besides, staying at Tsuna's grandpa's place won't interfere with our plans to go out tomorrow or the day after."

"Hmm..." Ayumi Ajitani was tempted but hesitated.

"But with so many of us, will Nanase-sensei agree?" Takagi asked, voicing his doubts.

"I think so? When we arrive at our destination, I should be able to video chat with Nanase-sensei on LINE to let her know, there shouldn't be any problem..."

Shoko was also a little hesitant about this question, and logically speaking, the probability of her agreeing was not high.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Ayumi Ajitani changed her mind, and the group unanimously decided to set off in the afternoon.

They completely forgot the main purpose of the school trip.

The lunch break flew by amidst the girls' chattering discussions.

The conversation revolved around a "plan that goes around the map of Osaka," and by the time they finally got a rough idea of ​​what to do, they found that most of the people in the cafeteria had already left.

Tsuna was planning to go back to his assigned dormitory for a nap, but Shoko dragged him by the arm toward Nanase-sensei's room.

Ayumi Ajitani also wanted to pull him away, but fearing that she would be strangled to death by Shoko, she had to give up the idea.

Takagi and Nishikata, on the other hand, took a walk around the hot spring inn to digest their food.

"Dong dong dong...!"

"Nanase-sensei, are you free right now?"

Ayumi Ajitani knocked on the door frame, while Shoko called out to her.

"Please come in, the door is unlocked."

After receiving a response from Nanase-sensei inside, Tsuna reached out and gently pulled open the traditional neon wooden door in front of him.

"What's going on here..." Ms. Nanase hesitated for a moment as she looked at the three people who walked in, greeted them, and sat down. "Are you going out to play and need to report it?"

"Almost...more or less." Ayumi Ajitani smiled, suddenly finding it a little difficult to say.

Finally, after a lot of back and forth, Tsuna couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to bring up the idea of ​​going away to stay for a few days with Nanase-sensei.

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.

Standing in front of the closed door, Takagi tapped the door with her fingertip, turned around and smiled, her voice deliberately soft and gentle, with a slight drawl at the end:

"Just dropping you off at the door is enough—oh, Nishikata-kun? One more step forward, please..."

She paused deliberately, her smile deepening, "I'm afraid it's 'paid content'~"

She was absolutely right. If the girls in the video weren't wearing clothes, then it would definitely be paid content.

As for whether Shoko and the others have returned, I don't know.

"Oh...oh oh oh..."

Nishikata was caught off guard by this blatant teasing. His hand, which was scratching his head, almost got stuck in his hair and he could only utter a few meaningless monosyllables.

He stood frozen in place, watching Takagi push open the door and disappear before belatedly turning around and practically running out of the corridor.

"Miyamura, how is it? What did Nanase-sensei say?"

When Nishikata returned to his dormitory, he saw only Miyamura sprawled on the tatami mat, and no one else was in sight.

"We'll meet at 2:30 this afternoon and head out." Tsuna glanced up at him at the doorway before continuing to look down at the comics on the tatami mat.

"Okay, I'll take a nap first."

Tsuna waved his hand, indicating that he understood.

Seeing this, Nishikata stopped talking, turned around deftly, opened the cabinet, pulled out the spare mattress and bedding, and then threw the pillow onto the tatami.

Almost as soon as his head touched the pillow, a heavy drowsiness enveloped him, and he drifted off to sleep.

He slept very soundly, and it wasn't until just before the agreed meeting time that his eyelids opened as Tsuna shook him. "Where are the others? Why haven't they come back yet?" Nishikata sat up, rubbing his still sleepy eyes, and first looked around at his surroundings.

"I'm not sure," Tsuna said, slinging his already packed backpack over his shoulder. "He went to the cafeteria for lunch and hasn't come back since."

"He probably made plans to go out with friends," he guessed.

The two quickly put the topic out of their minds.

Nishikata shook his head to dispel the last trace of sleepiness, then quickly rolled up the scattered mattress and bedding and stuffed them back into the closet.

As the cabinet door clicked shut, he turned and strode towards the meeting point.

"Is everything packed?" As soon as Tsuna and his companion stepped out of the hot spring inn, they saw Shoko and the others standing in the shade of a maple tree.

"Uh-huh."

Tsuna and Nishikata also hid in the shadows, waiting for the bus.

The bus arrived amidst the heatwave, and the five people immediately squeezed into the mobile "air-conditioned room."

For the next two hours, A-Gang became the team's "living navigator," constantly swiping his finger across his phone screen to plan the route.

With his repeated calls of "Get off, transfer to Line X" and "Take this bus again, there are still X stops to go," the five-person group traveled back and forth through the city's transportation network.

When the last leg of the journey ended and we arrived at our destination, it was more than two hours later.

This transfer journey reminded A-Gang of why, in his previous life, Japanese anime characters always ran towards their lovers instead of taking a taxi.
Because taxis are really expensive in Japan, you can only drive there...

"Have we really arrived...?"

"Miyamura, are you sure your navigation isn't wrong?"

"You really didn't just go around in circles?"

As soon as the group of five got off the bus, Tsuna was met with the puzzled looks from Ayumi and the other two after they had looked around his grandfather's hot spring inn.

He was a little unsure, so he glanced at the navigation on his phone again. After confirming that there were no errors, he nodded and said, "No mistakes, we're here."

"But this..."

"It also……"

"It looks just like the hot spring inn we just left from!"

This hot spring hotel is quietly nestled in the embrace of lush trees. From the outside, the wooden walls show the steadiness of years and even reveal a trace of the mottled years.

However, the bustling flow of customers at the entrance silently tells a truth: 'Its charm is by no means superficial.'

"Let's go, we've traveled for so long, let's go inside and rest for a bit."

Tsuna called out and took the lead, steadily pushing open the ancient door of the hot spring inn, which was bathed in warm light.

"..."

As soon as the five people stepped into the warm and bright entrance hall of the hot spring inn, before they could even take a good look around, a young waitress dressed in an indigo yukata came to greet them.

She stood at just the right distance, bowed slightly, and asked in a gentle yet clear voice:

"Welcome! Do you have any reservations?"

"Make an appointment? Wait a minute, cousin, let me ask Grandpa if we need to make an appointment first."

Junko Mito, who had recognized Tsuna long ago, froze her signature smile instantly and glared at him speechlessly.

Immediately, as if changing her expression, she seamlessly shifted her gaze to Shoko, who was holding hands with Tsuna, and greeted her with a warm and genuine smile.
