My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 391 What if schools don't teach these things?
After talking for nearly an hour and a half, Shoko finally nodded and accepted the commission.

Just then, the girl with glasses returned from outside with the printed contract.

Unlike ordinary commissioned writing, this commission requires a formal contract and a legally binding confidentiality agreement.

The girl with glasses pushed the contract and pen in front of Shoko: "Ms. Nishimiya, please take a look at the contract first, and then let me know if you have any complaints."

"……this…"

Shoko opened the first page of the contract, her eyes immediately falling on the dense, tiny print, and she blinked blankly.

With her limited life experience at her age, how could she possibly see through the hidden traps or unfavorable clauses lurking between the lines...

School courses never teach how to spot loopholes in contracts...

Although the terms of the contract were like gibberish to Shoko, it couldn't be concluded that the other party was taking advantage of her youth to gain something.

After all, for a commission of this size, issuing a formal contract at the time of signing is the standard procedure in the industry.

"Uh……"

Faced with the contract problem and feeling helpless, Shoko immediately thought of Tsuna.

Her fingers unconsciously tightened around the hem of her clothes. After hesitating for a moment, she softly suggested, "How about I call my guardian to come and sign the contract?"

The middle-aged man nodded understandingly and agreed, "That's only right."

During their conversation, they learned that Nishimiya-sensei, who has recently gained some fame in the illustration world, is still a minor.

"Excuse me, I'll make a call and be right there." Before she finished speaking, Shoko had already stood up somewhat hastily and walked quickly toward the store entrance.

She thought that her mother was still at work, so asking her godmother to come over would be the same, right?
Once outside, he took a deep breath and then immediately called Tsuna.

"Beep beep beep..."

After waiting for a while, the call was finally answered.

"Moshi Moshi? What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Ah."

Shoko nodded unconsciously into the air, and then explained the whole story to Tsuna in the simplest and clearest possible way.

On the other end of the phone, after listening, Gang immediately decided: "You go back and wait, leave the rest to me."

After giving a brief explanation, he hung up the call with Shoko and immediately dialed Miyamura Daio's number.

He briefly recounted the details of the glass incident so that he could understand the specifics.

He doesn't know much about the contract, but that doesn't stop him from using his own professional team. Why not use foreign aid if you have it?

…………

When Shoko returned to the shop, the middle-aged man had already gotten up from his seat, as if he had something urgent to attend to. He nodded slightly to Shoko and said:

"Sorry, Xiaoyuan will handle the rest," he said hurriedly before taking his leave.

In the blink of an eye, only the girl with glasses remained at the long table, responsible for handling all the final cleanup tasks.

When Shoko returned after making the phone call to Tsuna, she felt a significant weight lifted from her shoulders.

With the middle-aged man gone, there was less tension, and they started chatting about unrelated topics with the girl with glasses.

Seeing that there was nothing urgent for the time being, Shoko signaled to Takagi on her phone to start their sightseeing plans.

She will meet up with them later.

Takagi glanced at Ayumi Ajitani, who was already restless beside him, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.
"Alright then... Be careful."

After sending the message, she pulled along Ayumi Ajitani, whose bottom was numb from sitting, and they started their Shinjuku trip ahead of everyone else.

…………

After waiting for about thirty minutes, "Ring ring..."

The crisp sound of a bell rang out as the shop door was pushed open.

Shoko's eyes reflexively turned towards the door, and a surge of eager anticipation immediately welled up in her heart.

Nishimiya Yaeko walked in first, followed closely by a man of similar age with a composed demeanor.

He was dressed in a well-fitting, finely patterned silver-gray suit, with a pair of smartly designed gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose.

Without Shoko even needing to remind her, Yaeko Nishimiya noticed her by the window on the left.

She walked towards her with the middle-aged man.

"Mom, aren't you at work? Why did you come over?"

The girl with glasses only then noticed the two people approaching and quickly stood up to greet them.

Nishimiya Yaeko sat down beside her, her face still bearing the slightly serious expression she wore at work:

"Who has their godmother sign a contract instead of their guardian?"

She was about to go to a meeting when Miyamura Daio called her. She thought something serious had happened.

Fortunately, nothing serious happened, but the meeting was postponed to tomorrow.

"Haha..." Shoko scratched the back of her head a little awkwardly: "I didn't know...?"

"This is the contract, right?"

"Uh-huh."

Nishimiya Yaeko took the contract from her and placed it in front of the middle-aged man: "Thank you for your help, Attorney Sakurai."

The middle-aged lawyer nodded, said nothing more, and began to look through the contract.

After waiting quietly for a while, he asked a few serious questions about the document, and after receiving answers from the girl with glasses, he nodded and continued reading.

The overwhelming calm and composed aura made the previously composed bespectacled girl suddenly tense up, even suppressing her gossipy impulses.

It's pressed down hard!
After confirming that there were no problems, Yaeko Nishimiya signed the contract.

The commission was accepted successfully, and the girl with glasses put away the contract and hurriedly left the coffee shop.

As she left the store, the middle-aged man saved the entire recording on his phone and even made two or three copies just to be on the safe side.

"Shoko, do you want to come back with us?" Yaeko Nishimiya asked, flashing her car keys.

"No, Mom." Shoko shook her head. "Ayumi and the others are still waiting for me. We agreed to go shopping after we finished."

Nishimiya Yaeko nodded, and seeing this, she didn't try to persuade her further, but gave her a word of advice:
"Be careful out there, we're heading back now." She then left with the middle-aged man.

Shoko waved to them from the store entrance, and then hurriedly followed the navigation to meet up with Ayumi and Shoko.

Standing at the shop entrance, Shoko gently waved towards the direction of Yaeko Nishimiya's departing car.

Once the car merged into the traffic and disappeared from sight, she immediately took out her phone from her pocket, unlocked the screen, and quickly tapped the navigation app.

"We need to catch up with Ayumi and the others quickly..."

She muttered something to herself, then took light steps while glancing down to check the route on the screen, quickly blending into the bustling crowds of Shinjuku in the afternoon.

------

Inside the car, Yaeko Nishimiya glanced at the countdown timer at the traffic light, then turned her gaze to the middle-aged man in the passenger seat.

She asked gently, "Mr. Sakurai, would you like me to take you back to the office first, or directly home?"

"Can't we just go out for a meal together?"
