My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 386 The Gathering in the Middle of Next Month
"..."

Banlan Qian was even more speechless, shaking her head and rubbing her forehead, finding it hard to watch any longer.

"What's wrong with Suzuki? Are you feeling unwell?"

"!"

Upon hearing the voice, Banlan Qian's back tensed instinctively, and she stiffly turned around, just in time to see Minister Nishimiya standing in the corridor.

She frowned slightly, and the two looked at each other. Her gaze then passed over Banran Chi and locked on Suzuki On, who was sobbing softly. Her eyes clearly showed concern and inquiry.

"Haha... Good morning, Minister Nishimiya!"

"Good morning," Nishimiya Yaeko nodded slightly to her, knowing their relationship, and asked with a puzzled look:
"What's wrong with Suzuki...?"

According to her employees, although Minister Nishimiya is fierce and likes to scold people from time to time over trivial matters, she is also very caring towards her employees at times.

"She...she...she...she..."

Banlan Qian was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he stammered for a long time without being able to squeeze out a complete word.

Countless lame excuses flashed through my mind in an instant, but none of them seemed likely to work...

It's impossible to tell the truth, like Suzuki-chan was slacking off at work reading novels and crying when the female lead died...?
"Should you take a half-day off?" Nishimiya Yaeko asked Suzuki On, who was still wiping away tears, after seeing that she couldn't utter a second word for a long time.

"No, no," Suzuki Atsushi, who had calmed down a bit, shook her head repeatedly, explaining hastily with a slight sob in her voice:

"I...I...I was so happy that I accidentally cried..."

"..."

Nishimiya Yaeko stared at her speechlessly for a while before slowly speaking:
"I remember you asked for leave yesterday because you were going to your ex-boyfriend's funeral, right...?"

“Yes!” Suzuki Atsushi nodded immediately: “It was because he died that I was so happy that I accidentally cried!”

"..." Nishimiya Yaeko and Banran Chi were speechless almost simultaneously.

The last time I was this speechless was the time before last.

Suzuki Atsushi wasn't sure if she had succeeded in fooling him, only hearing Nishimiya's words:
"If you're not feeling well, remember to come and ask me for leave so it doesn't affect your work."

After saying that, he turned and left. He had already confirmed that there were no problems, and he had taken care of everything that needed to be taken care of.

She still has a day or two to go before leaving the position she has held for several years.

Before this, she didn't want any mistakes to happen at work that would leave the next person to clean up the mess.

After confirming that Minister Nishimiya had returned to his office, many colleagues who were close to the two came over to check on them, but Suzuki Atsushi brushed them off with the same excuse.

"At the gathering next month, I'm going to give that old bastard Miyamura a good beating!" Suzuki Atsushi closed his book, let out a long breath, and said fiercely.

"You don't want to sign anymore? It'll cover a month's worth of cleaning duties~"

"Then...then we'll beat him up again after we get his autograph!"

"Ha ha……"

Banran Chi had little hope for that autograph, but she was quite looking forward to Suzuki On fulfilling his promise to clean for a month.

…………

As the day went by, the number of comments about "I want to eat your pancreas" increased, and some bloggers on Twitter even made videos to complain about it.

The quick-thinking Tsuna took advantage of his lunch break to conveniently disable the comments section, saving himself a lot of trouble. As a result, all the criticism shifted to Futaba Publishing House.

On Shoko's side, the comments were surprisingly harmonious, with everyone praising her illustrations as even better.

Occasionally, a few people would try to criticize Tsuna, but they were quickly silenced by her fans.

An unknown netizen commented: "Go back to where you came from and spew your filth!"

Amidst a barrage of criticism, both Futaba Publishing and Tsuna posted updates about April 1st's new book announcement, "Your Lie in April."

The post also included a poster drawn by Nishimiya-sensei as a teaser. It also hinted at a surprise waiting for everyone on that day. Soon, the comment section for the new book announcement from Futaba Publishing House reached 999+.

However, Tsuna's comment section was completely blank, because he cleverly turned off the comment section for this post.

------

Before you knew it, it was time for the start of the new school year.

Even in the classrooms and corridors, one could faintly hear students discussing Miyamura-sensei's new book.

Some people are eager to see where the story is going, while others want to spoil it and risk getting beaten up.

Some even took the lead in cursing Miyamura, but seeing that he hadn't opened up his comments section yet, they could only sigh helplessly.

After listening to the principal's opening remarks in the auditorium, Ayumi Azurani returned to her seat in the classroom and couldn't wait to ask Tsuna what the surprise for April was.

Takagi also cast a curious glance at her, and Nishikata, who was originally planning to go and chat with Kitano and the others, stopped in his tracks because of her words.

The three of them are currently only halfway through reading the book 'I Want to Eat Your Pancreas'.

Talking to him isn't so frustrating; I can even laugh.

Meanwhile, Ayumi Ajitani and Takagi, who were following the two's accounts, knew more or less that the female lead would be stabbed and guessed that she would die from an illness.

The beginning already made it clear, so the two of them had anticipated and were mentally prepared.

Tsuna chuckled and leaned back lazily in his chair: "If it's already called a surprise, and I tell you now, will it still be a surprise later?"

"..."

"Do you know about Shoko-chan?" Seeing that his approach wasn't working, Ayumi Ajitani immediately turned to Shoko-chan, who was listening quietly.

Suddenly called on, Shoko was taken aback. She nodded instinctively at first, then shook her head vigorously.
"No...no...I don't know, I don't know..."

"..."

Seeing her flawed explanation, Ayumi Azumi simply raised the corners of her mouth.

Takagi, sitting in the back seat, exchanged a glance with her, already planning how to get information out of Shoko-chan.

"You guys should take a break, and stop trying to get information out of them," Tsuna sighed, somewhat disapproving.
"I can't tell you about the surprises, but I can give you a spoiler about the ending of 'Your Lie in April'."

"Dah!"

"Miyamura, shut up!"

Seeing their reaction, Tsuna smiled and shrugged, ignoring the three girls' conversation, and joined the small group of boys below the stage with Nishikata.

However, after hearing them speculate and discuss the plot of April, he felt it was pointless and went back to his seat to play on his phone.

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

“Boom…boom…boom…!”

The familiar school bell rang, and after a whole day, everyone got back into the rhythm of class.

Clearly, the holiday was too short to completely disrupt their original rhythm.

"Alright, that's all for today. School's out."

Ms. Nanase left the classroom first, and the students packed their brand-new textbooks into their school bags.

Those who joined clubs rushed to their clubs, while those who didn't stayed wherever they could find a cool place to stay. Tsuna from the Homecoming Club was no exception.

"Ayumi-chan, I'm leaving that matter to you!" Before parting, Takagi patted Ayumi Ajitani on the shoulder at the back door of the classroom.

She responded to Takagi with a thumbs-up: "Don't worry, I'll definitely be able to get the information out of Shoko-chan!"
