My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 370: A Thrilling Combination Technique?

"squeak……"

After a short rest, the loudspeakers around the playground, which had been silent for a long time, rang out again, emitting a slightly jarring electrical sound.

After a brief test confirming that the equipment was working properly, a sweet female voice clearly rang out through the loudspeaker, echoing throughout the entire playground.

"Senior students participating in the three-legged race, please proceed to the track to prepare—"

The older students responded immediately, trudging towards the center of the playground. All around, cheers from their respective classes rose and fell.

"I was thinking of taking a nap." Tsuna leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples.

"Tsuna-nii, why bother sleeping while you're alive? You'll have plenty of time to sleep after you die."

"..."

Just as Nishimiya Yuzuru playfully darted in front of him, he was shoved away by his large, well-defined hands.

"Ayumi-nee, who's going to perform next?" Nishimiya Yuzuru turned to Ayumi Ajitani, who was standing next to her.

Ayumi Ajitani smiled slightly and said, "All of them."

…………

As the horn sounded again, Tsuna had just opened his eyes when Nishikata patted him on the shoulder. The two would be partners again.

"Tsuna, Takagi-chan and I are going downstairs first," Shoko said with a smile.

Before he could respond, Takagi and Ayumi Ajiya each took one of Shoko's arms and led her quickly toward the playground.

Tsuna rubbed his eyes and followed Nishikata down the street, surrounded by the cheers of Yuzuru Nishimiya and the parents.

After receiving the bright red leg bindings and the small tag with the number written on it.

Nishikata quickly approached Tsuna, nudged him lightly with his elbow, and asked with barely concealed excitement:

"Miyamura, what do you think of the plan I came up with?"

"I don't think it's very good..." Tsuna rolled his eyes at him.

"What do you mean, 'how are you talking about'?" Ayumi asked curiously.

At this moment, Shoko and her two companions also came over, with Takagi's partner, 'Rinko,' by her side.

"It's nothing," Tsuna shook his head and explained, "It was just a sudden idea from Nishikata."

After saying that, without waiting for Ayumi Ajitani to ask any further questions, he gestured for Nishikata to walk towards the track with him.

The boys' competition was held first, followed by the girls' competition.

It was still early, so the four people standing nearby weren't in a hurry and started preparing to cheer on Tsuna and Nishikata.

“It’s really enviable.”

"What are you envious of?"

"That."

Following Tanaka's direction, Kitada, from the second group of boys, saw four girls, each with their own unique characteristics, cheering on Miyamura and Nishikata.

"……That's it?"

"Isn't that enough?" Tanaka gritted his teeth enviously. "If Miyamura hadn't dated Nishimiya, what girls would be cheering him on?!"

"Ha ha……"

Kitano chuckled dryly, his gaze sweeping over the girls on the playground who were preparing for the three-legged race.

Many eyes were drawn to those two people.

Is he watching Miyamura? Or Nishikata? There's no need to guess.

.........

"preparation!"

"boom!"

"Go for it, Tsuna!"

"Charge, Nishikata Miyamura!"

……… At the finish line, several figures on the synthetic track put their arms around each other's shoulders and ran towards the finish line amidst waves of cheers.

Not far behind them, Tsuna and Nishikata walked steadily but not quickly, their breathing slightly labored.

At that speed, he could only rank in the teens at best in the entire first grade.

"Miyamura, the top two are out of the running... but... but we can still give it our all and try again!"

Nishikata put his arm around Tsuna's shoulder, his words coming out in fits and starts due to the up-and-down motion of his body.

"Third place... is absolutely no problem!"

Seeing that Tsuna didn't react, he continued to persuade him more forcefully: "Trust me! We've tried that move before during our training!"

"...It's just too embarrassing."

"I haven't said anything, what are you afraid of? Come on!"

Before he could hesitate any longer, Nishikata leaped up on one leg and pounced on Tsuna, pressing his entire weight onto him!

At first glance, the two looked like they were being carried in a princess carry, but it was far less romantic. Nishikata's foot, which was bound by ropes, was still dragging on the ground, like a forgotten anchor point.

Nishikata's sudden movement caused Tsuna to stumble and almost fall.

"Wow……"

"It has to be the Western films that know how to play the game."

"You can tell at a glance that this move was his idea."

"I never expected that Miyamura would be so strong. He was able to carry this and even outrun the others ahead of him."

The four people who were closely watching the pair noticed this move immediately.

Ayumi Ajitani jokingly worried that Nishikata's actions might make Shoko jealous, so she quickly covered her eyes with her hands.

But Shoko barely paused, deftly brushing aside Ayumi's fingers, and then joined the three of them in their discussion with great interest.

This unusual pair on the track quickly attracted attention, and the news spread like wildfire throughout the stadium. In the blink of an eye, even the loudspeakers began to announce their eye-catching number plates.

The two continued joking around until they reached the finish line.

Many boys tried to imitate it, but all of them failed. Either the person holding the pole didn't have enough strength, or they all fell down together.

Even if it's lifted up, whether it can run is still a question.

…………

The two returned the rope and race number under the tent next to the starting line, then turned to find the four members of the group.

They caught a glimpse of Ayumi Ajitani, who was pursing her lips and trying not to laugh, and playfully gave them a bright thumbs up.

.........

"Tsuna-nii, you two seem to have become famous... Pfft..."

As soon as the two returned to the audience seats, they heard Yuzuru Nishimiya's laughter, and Nishikata felt a lot of eyes on them.

"I'm used to it." Tsuna sat down beside her; he had already guessed the consequences.

The boys left one by one as the loudspeakers blared, and it was Shoko and her friends' turn to go on stage.

After the other girls finished their matches and returned to the stands, Ayumi Ajitani sat down and began massaging her aching shoulders, repeatedly expressing her feelings:
"Finally, only one item left. We can call it a day and go home after the closing ceremony!"

Shoko, who was standing next to her, also felt a little sore, but fortunately, Yuzuru Nishimiya kindly helped her massage and relax.

The loudspeaker was still broadcasting the competition results with a crackling sound, while a few weak shouts of "Go China!" echoed sporadically from the playground.

Occasionally, a short whistle would sound, and all around were the loud chatter of conversations and the clatter of mineral water bottles rolling on the concrete.

After chatting for a while, Shoko and her group got up to the pleasant announcement and headed to the playground.

"Tsuna-nii, aren't you going?" Nishimiya Yuzuru asked, puzzled as he watched someone still sitting in a chair playing on their phone.

"No need." As Gang put away his phone, he shook his head: "This is mainly for entertainment, I haven't thought about signing up."

"I see." Nishimiya Yuzuru nodded.

"...If it weren't for the class monitor's request, Miyamura, you probably wouldn't have wanted to sign up for any project at all." At this moment, Nishikata's sarcastic voice suddenly rang out from behind the two of them.
