My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 359 The excitement and gossip of the past few days?
"..."

As for finding saltpeter—

"Stop, stop, stop, I know," Mitsubo Yoshihara interrupted her impatiently, raising her hand. "I'll take care of you when I'm off work on the weekend."

Seeing that her plan had succeeded, Junko Mito could no longer hide the smile on her lips, and with a smile, she raised her hand and made a victory 'V' sign.

He then turned around with light steps and went back to the hotel to greet the guests.

After several transfers, Tsuna and his friends first took a crowded bus that bumped and swayed through the afternoon streets, then squeezed into the cold, enclosed, noisy subway, and finally boarded a swaying bus.

When the car finally came to a stop in front of the hot spring hotel built against the mountainside, dusk had already fallen outside the window.

The warm, orange lights were the resting place that the study tour had reserved for the students.

"We're here! We've finally arrived!"

Ayumi Ajitani was almost the first to rush out of the bus, her suitcase and shopping bags of various sizes making her lean to one side.

As she struggled to regain her balance and staggered off the bus, she couldn't help but groan in pain:
"So much stuff! I should have bought less when I went shopping. My back is killing me."

"..."

A-Gang and the others got off the bus one after another. Everyone's hands were busy, with shopping bags and local specialty bags hanging heavily, making their knuckles turn white.

Although they were all silent, the weariness in their eyes was so deep that it was impossible to dispel, and even their steps seemed somewhat sluggish.

The group parted ways in the hotel's wooden-floored corridor, agreeing to go to Nanase-sensei's place together later.

"Wow..."

When Tsuna and Nishikata returned to the room they had been assigned on the first day, they found it empty, though their luggage was still there.

I guess they went somewhere to play and haven't come back yet.

The two rested in the room for a while. After Tsuna let his grandfather and the others know that he was safe on LINE, he got up and went to Nanase-sensei's room.

When they returned, the other four people in the room had already come back.

"Hey! You two are back?"

"How have you been these past few days? Did you have fun spending time with your lovely class monitor?"

As soon as the door opened, before I could even step inside, I heard several people inside greeting me and jokingly asking me questions.

After nodding and greeting the others, the clever Tsuna pushed Nishikata, who was hiding behind him, in front of them and let him deal with the situation.

He lay down to sleep, but the chatter kept him awake, and he started talking to the others as well.

We also shared the snacks and local specialties that my grandparents brought with us, and enjoyed them together.

"Hehe, you two missed out on a fortune while you were gone these past few days!"

The guy sitting across from Nishikata, Kitano, had his eyes shining and leaned forward impatiently: "A whole bunch of excitement and gossip, guaranteed to blow your mind!"

"Jaw-dropping?" Nishikata blinked in confusion. "What gossip and excitement?"

"You can guess first," Kitano said with a cheeky grin, raising an eyebrow at the two of them.

"..." Nishikata suddenly felt a little unwilling to continue the conversation.

"You guys... you didn't sneak off to the girls' hot spring to peep on them on the first night, did you?" Tsuna casually asked, biting into a piece of apple.

The words had barely left his mouth when he saw Kitano on the opposite sofa with his mouth slightly open, his face filled with the astonishment of being precisely targeted.

Nishikata's hand, which was about to drink water, froze in mid-air. He subconsciously followed Tsuna's gaze to Kitano, and when he saw Kitano's expression, he almost choked on his water.

"Miyamura, how did you guess? Did someone tell you secretly?!" Kitano exclaimed in disbelief.

She looked at him intently.

"..." Tsuna looked at him speechlessly.

He now only feels that the hot spring hotel that called Shoko and the other girls "grandpa" was such a normal decision back then, and the best decision he made this year.

Kitano guessed the answer from his expression.

"Then...and then what happened?" Ignoring the changing expressions on their faces, Nishikata suppressed his curiosity and asked:
"Did you...did you see anything inappropriate for children?"

"No."

Kitano waved his hand helplessly, "It seems that Nanase-sensei and the teacher of the other class had expected this all along."

Staff were already stationed at the edge of the partition between the men's and women's pools; no one dared to even approach, let alone look.

"Xiongyi was warned and sent back before he could even get close." He could only sigh softly at the end, as if he was feeling disappointed.

"..."

“But that makes sense. The school must have anticipated this when they arranged for us to go on a school trip to the hot spring inn.” Tsuna looked at him with the same expression on his face.

"Then what other gossip and excitement is there?" Nishikata asked, puzzled.

"My neighbor broke up with her boyfriend. They had a huge fight in the cafeteria before they broke up." Kitano stopped beating around the bush and recalled the incident before speaking directly:
“We know almost everything except for a few of you who aren’t here.”

"That's...that's it?" Tsuna blinked.

"..."

Nishikata, who had just thought it was a bit of a bombshell and wanted to ask for the reason, was doused with cold water by him and now didn't want to ask anymore.

Seeing Tsuna's expression, Kitano was still a little unconvinced and began to ask mysteriously, "You know Tanaka Kazuyoshi, right?"

“Nonsense,” Nishikata rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, then pointed to the boy next to him who had gone straight to bed as soon as he got back: “Isn’t he just lying there?”

Kitano ignored him and continued to maintain his mysterious expression:
"He plans to confess his feelings to his neighbor tonight, on the last day of his school trip, at the 'Bamboo Forest Passage,' a popular photo spot next to the hot spring hotel."

"Huh?" Nishikata's eyes widened instinctively.

"No... Kitano,"

The male student, who had been huddled in the corner listening intently, finally couldn't hold back any longer. He lowered his voice considerably and nervously glanced towards Tanaka as he spoke.

"Are you really... okay with just selling Tanaka off like this?"

Upon hearing this, another bystander, who had been silently munching on melon seeds the whole time, immediately shrank back, nodded frantically, and mumbled a reply:
"Mmm...yes..."

Kitano did not answer directly.

He turned his head, his eyes appearing somewhat somber in the dim light, and scanned the two men one by one: "What are we supposed to do tonight?"

"effect?"

"I'll play support for Tanaka today, and be his assist provider."

"correct."

Kitano clapped his hands abruptly, then, as if realizing something, looked in Tanaka's direction, and only seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after confirming that he was still asleep.

"The three of us are just playing support for him; we might as well hire a professional!"

"A professional? Who is it?" Male student A asked, puzzled.

On the contrary, male classmate B couldn't stand it anymore, so he patted A on the head and pointed at Tsuna, who was silently eating an apple.

"Miyamura?"

"he?"

"I?"

"That's right!"

"..." Tsuna was speechless under the gazes of the people present.

"Miyamura is a professional in this field? When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"

Nishikata voiced his doubts, admitting that he did know something about writing novels.

But whether it counts or not, he didn't know.
