My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 372 Male...Male?
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Before Nishimiya Yuzuru could even lift her head, a familiar, fair hand occupied the top of her head, ruffling her hair.

Leaning against the railing, Tsuna watched the two sisters playing around, a gentle smile playing on his lips: "Let's go then."

He gestured to them, "Please have some dessert."

"Wait a little longer, my friend is on his way."

"Row."

Tsuna nodded. One more or one less wouldn't make a difference, and it would also be a good opportunity to thank the other party for taking care of Yuzuru these past few days.

Waited for a while.

"That...that one."

"Yo!"

Tsuna and Shoko looked in the direction where Nishimiya Yuzuru had greeted them, their gazes simultaneously drifting towards the stairwell.

There stood a chubby little boy with messy hair, nervously twisting the hem of his clothes.

"..."

Both Shoko and Tsuna were taken aback, but Tsuna quickly composed himself.

"Male...male??"

"Sis, what's with that expression? Didn't I tell you guys?"

"Really!?" Shoko's voice instantly rose.

The arrogant voice drew the attention of the parents and students who had not yet dispersed.

Those gazes cast upon them clearly detected a hint of gossip.

“Um… well…” Nagatoshi, who had been ignored, interrupted, “How about I come back another time? It doesn’t seem quite right now… haha…”

"Let's go, this isn't the place to chat. Let's find somewhere else to talk," Tsuna said softly, naturally taking Shoko's hand.

As soon as he moved, his gaze fell precisely on Nishimiya Yuzuru beside him, and he gave a barely perceptible nod towards Nagatoshi Tomohiro.

Nishimiya Yuzuru nodded knowingly, then stood up nimbly and darted over to the still somewhat reserved Nagatsuka Tomohiro in a few steps.

She grinned and slapped him on the shoulder without hesitation:
"What are you standing there for? Come on, come on, don't miss this opportunity! My brother Tsuna said he's treating! Consider it my treat, let's eat him out of house and home!"

After saying that, Nishimiya Yuzuru gave him a thumbs up and quickly caught up with Tsuna and the other two.

.........

A dessert and coffee shop with a classic decor at the street corner near the school gate.

When it was time for Yuzuru Nishimiya and Shoko to order, Tsuna first found a four-seater table against the wall.

On the way here, he already knew the other person's name and that he seemed to be a reserved and socially awkward boy, but he still couldn't make a judgment.

Tsuna's gaze shifted from the two sisters taking orders at the counter to Nagatsuka Tomohiro, who had been keeping his head down and remaining silent beside him. He then initiated a conversation:

"How did you and Yuzuru meet?"

As for the version that Nishimiya Yuzuru told, he didn't believe it at all; only that idiot class president would believe it.

When Nagatsuka Tomohiro saw that the two of them were still ordering, he seemed to have lessened his usual restraint, but his explanations were still a little hesitant.

Tsuna, who was observing from the side, also noticed this and felt that the other person was still a bit reserved and stuttering in front of girls.

Even subconsciously, one might want to stay away.

But why doesn't it happen when he talks to Yuzuru? That's something he's curious about now.

"Oh, I see."

After listening to the whole story, Tsuna nodded. He planned to tell Shoko about it when he got back, and for now, he wanted Nishimiya Yuzuru to enjoy the meal.

When the two sisters returned after ordering, as soon as they sat down, Shoko's smile vanished instantly, and she looked at Nagatsu Tomohiro with a suspicious expression.

She suspected that the other person had ill intentions in getting close to Yuzuru.

"I ordered your favorite mango cake for you, don't be shy!"

"Is...is that so? Thank you...thank you..." Nagatsuka Tomohiro forced a funny smile, his expression looking a little stiff after they returned.

"..."

As Tsuna silently drank his cold water, a strange feeling inexplicably arose in his heart, as if he were the father-in-law meeting his future son-in-law.

Um… he’s my father-in-law…

Seeing that Nagatsuka Tomohiro wasn't in the mood for conversation, Nishimiya Yuzuru turned her head and smiled at her older sister beside her:
"Sis, our school is having a school festival in the middle of next month. Will you and Tsuna be coming?"

“Okay,” Shoko replied readily, looking away. “Let me know the exact time, and I’ll tell Mom. What about Tsuna?”

As she spoke, she looked at Tsuna across from her, and Yuzuru Nishimiya followed suit.

“I’m available anytime,” Tsuna shrugged lightly, turning his gaze to the quiet Nagatsuka Tomohiro beside him. “What about Nagatsuka? Will you go?”

When Yuhiro Nagatsuka, who had been quietly acting as if he were invisible, was mentioned, he trembled as if he had been startled.

"I...I'll be quite busy next month, so I probably won't have time."

The three nodded, not taking his answer to heart. Tsuna was just asking casually because he hadn't spoken.

After the dessert was served, the Shoko sisters started chatting about other things, and Tsuna also chatted with Nagatsuka Tomohiro from time to time to ease his awkwardness.

By the end, Tsuna had added Nagatsuka Tomohiro as a LINE friend, and his impression of the other party was quite good.

"Bye-Bye."

"Goodbye."

As they left the dessert and coffee shop, the clouds in the sky were already ablaze, and Yuzuru Nishimiya waved to Tomohiro Nagatsuka.

As soon as Nagatsuka Tomohiro's figure disappeared around the corner, Nishimiya Yuzuru immediately approached him with a grin:

"Brother Tsuna, I'm still a little hungry. Can I go back to the shop and get another one to go?"

Before she could finish speaking, Shoko's finger flicked her forehead with a "thud":
"You might not be able to eat dinner later, or your mom will scold you."

"slightly……"

Yuzuru Nishimiya turned around and stuck his tongue out at Shoko, then quickly ran away before Shoko could raise her hand to take a picture.

"You two slow down, be careful not to fall!"

A-Gang shook his head as he watched the two sisters chasing after him, then turned back to the shop and actually packed two desserts to go.

.........

Back home, the three of them, Tsuna, told Shoko in the living room about how Nishimiya Yuzuru and Nagatsuka Tomohiro met.

She also successfully received a lecture.

afterwards.

"Tsuna-nii! How could you do this!?"

"I'm breaking off all ties with you! From now on, when you marry my sister, I'll demand a much larger dowry!"

Seeing her angry expression, Gang simply smiled and remained silent, afraid that revealing the truth would hurt her little heart.

He was afraid that if he married Shoko, she wouldn't even want the dowry and would run away with him.

"Yuzuru! What are you saying?!"

Shoko came out of the kitchen and happened to 'see' Nishimiya Yuzuru say those words.

"Huh? N-nothing, sis!" Yuzuru's voice carried a hint of guilt and panic, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Before the words were even finished, it was as if some kind of switch had been flipped, and the familiar chase scene was once again playing out in the cramped living room!

In the small space, the sofa cushions were tilted to one side, and the slippers made a rapid "slapping" sound as they rubbed against the floor.

Occasionally, there were also exaggerated "Ouch!" sounds from Yuzuru Nishimiya faking a fall and Shoko's whispered "Where do you think you're going?"

The final chase ended with Shoko tripping over her own feet and accidentally falling into Tsuna's arms.

Seeing this, Nishimiya Yuzuru wisely left the living room, leaving only the two of them embracing. Shoko's breathing was slightly rapid, and her cheeks were burning hot and uncontrollable.
