My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 381 Release Date

"..."

Seeing Suzuki Wen's smug expression, the girl with long, straight black hair rolled her eyes at her and moved back to her desk.

"Chi-chan, are you going to take the day off tomorrow?"

Seeing that she left so simply without asking any questions, Suzuki On clung to her again.

"Yeah." The girl with long, straight black hair nodded, then looked at her questioningly: "Why are you asking this? Are you going to invite her too?"

Suzuki Atsushi shook his head repeatedly: "I took leave on the first day back to work after the New Year. I was afraid of being nagged by Minister Nishimiya."

"Uh……"

The girl with long, straight black hair paused for a moment. "Suzuki-chan, have you forgotten that Nishimiya-san was promoted today...?"

"Hiss...it seems...there is such a thing..."

"How could Minister Nishimiya be promoted so suddenly... without any prior notice..."

The girl with long, straight black hair recalled what had happened that morning:

"I heard that Minister Nishimiya was quite confused at the time. It seems that she didn't know anything about it. She came back after the New Year and was suddenly promoted."

Suzuki On shook his slightly dizzy head. The conversation didn't last long before shifting to another topic:

"By the way, you're not taking tomorrow off to buy Miyamura-sensei's new novel, are you?"

Suzuki Atsushi looked at the girl with long, straight black hair in front of him with suspicion.

“Yes,” the girl nodded readily, seemingly unconcerned.

"Huh!? Really?"

"Why would I lie to you? Of course it's true! I've been looking forward to Miyamura-sensei's new book for months."

After listening to what she said, Suzuki Atsushi gave her a mysterious smile and kept raising his eyebrows at her.

"...Are you having an eye twitch?"

"..." Suzuki On put away his dramatic expression, and became more speechless.

She glanced around at her busy colleagues, making sure no one was paying attention to them, before leaning close to the girl with long, straight black hair and whispering in her ear:

"Next month, I'm going to an author dinner hosted by Futaba Publishing House. I can help you get Miyamura-sensei's autograph..."

"..."

The girl didn't believe her immediately. Instead, she sat in her wheelchair and moved a little distance away, looking at her suspiciously.

Suzuki On instantly understood her gaze, and clutched his flat chest, feigning injury, saying:

"How many years of best friend relationship? You don't believe me?"

The girl with long, straight black hair nodded without hesitation.

"puff……"

Suzuki On coughed up blood, and splattered drops of saliva onto the girl with long, straight black hair.

"..."

“That’s really great! I just spoke with my editor on the phone, and she told me that I can get you an autograph and even take a few photos secretly.”

As he spoke, Suzuki Wen ignored the girl's speechless expression and the way she wiped her face, and gave a sly smile.

The girl with long, straight black hair stared at her face for a while, and the two fell silent, with only the sound of keyboards being typed and the faint sound of conversation in the distance.

Seeing her increasingly smug expression, the girl with long, straight black hair finally nodded in belief:
"Sure, if it's true, I'll cover your breakfasts for a week."

“Two weeks!” Suzuki Atsushi held up two fingers and shook them.

"..."

"Okay..." the girl uttered through clenched teeth.

"whee……"

"But what if you're lying to me?"

Without hesitation, Suzuki On patted his chest and promised, "I'll take care of all the housework in that rental apartment for a month."

"Row!"

—————— The next day.

On a cold winter morning, the wind was particularly biting, and pedestrians on the street wrapped their coats tightly around themselves, wanting nothing more than to escape back to their warm homes as quickly as possible.

"I've received Miyamura-sensei's new book! (Picture)"

"Nishimiya-sensei's covers are as beautiful as ever! (Image)"

"Check-in (picture)"

Tsuna and Shoko huddled in a 24-hour coffee shop, Tsuna leaning back in his chair, aimlessly scrolling through the comments on his Twitter account's latest updates.

Shoko stood close to Tsuna, her gaze fixed on the line not far away outside the window.

"I wonder how long it will take Ayumi and the others to buy them."

"Ha..." Tsuna yawned, tears welling up in his eyes: "We open at nine, a few more minutes, it'll be soon."

"Gentlemen, drinks."

"Thanks, Nishikata-kun."

Nishikata, dressed in a shop assistant uniform, nodded and then placed the desserts and warm drinks on the tray onto the table for the two of them.

"I have a question..." Tsuna looked at Nishikata, who was still in the aisle, speechless: "How many jobs do you have? What are you doing here?"

“Covering up, covering up…” Nishikata’s aloofness vanished, and he waved with a smile.

"..."

By the time Ayumi and Ajitani returned, it was almost 9:30.

The two had barely sat down when Shoko pushed the hot drinks that had just been brought over in front of them.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

Ayumi Ajitani immediately waved the book with the illustration of the male and female protagonists under a cherry blossom tree, titled "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas," in front of the two of them.

"Miyamura-sensei, please sign this for me!"

Ayame Ajitani smiled and held the book up to Tsuna's face, startling him so much that he quickly looked around.

Fortunately, since it was still early, there were only two tables of customers in the restaurant, and the men and women at the other table didn't notice what was going on.

"Don't worry," Ayumi winked at him, "I even looked around before I said anything."

"..."

That doesn't seem to be the main point... Tsuna thought.

Shoko didn't hesitate. She took the book from her and signed it with her pen name and the date, as agreed upon yesterday.

Then Takagi handed over her and Nishikata's.

“Nishikata is still working and can’t get away, so shall we go have some fun?” Ayumi Ajitani suggested happily as she put away her books.

Shoko and Takagi didn't seem to have any objections, and the three of them simultaneously turned their gazes to the languid Tsuna.

He shook his head and said, "I'll pass. You guys go have fun tomorrow. Be careful. I need to go to Futaba Publishing House later."

Seeing that he seemed to be in a real predicament, the understanding Shoko stopped insisting.

Takagi gently left Nishikata's book on the corner of the table. The three of them exchanged a knowing glance, then stood up and blended into the warm light and sounds outside.

After carefully handing the book to Nishikata, Tsuna also left the warm embrace of the coffee shop.

He hurried home, hopped on his motorcycle parked in the garage, and with a low roar from the engine, he merged into the city's traffic.

The neon lights of the shops on both sides and the blurry figures of pedestrians were quickly left behind. The chilly wind of early winter evening blew into my collar, carrying the city's unique smell, mixed with gasoline and food.

...............

"I got it! I got it! Haha..."

As soon as he stepped out of the noisy bookstore, Suzuki On couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After talking with Qianjiang last night, she also chose to take the day off today, using the excuse of attending her ex-boyfriend's funeral.

The key point is that Minister Nishimiya, who was only transferred to another position the next day, gave her a strange look before agreeing to it.
