My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 400 Isshiki Makoto's Rejection
"Then...should we...go back to the past...?"

"Uh..." Tsuna subconsciously waved his hand: "Forget it, we can just sit somewhere else."

It would be a bit impolite to interrupt their conversation at this time... um... I'm also worried about getting entangled with Isshiki Makoto...

To my surprise, when I turned my head, I saw four large heads with different hair colors peeking out from the shadows around the corner, stacked one on top of the other like a human pyramid.

"..."

“Huh? That looks like… Takanashi-senpai and the others?”

"Quick, quick...pretend you didn't see anything." Tsuna quickly lowered his voice and called out to Nishikata, pulling him to take a detour.
Unfortunately, it was too late...

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Rikka Takanashi over there! She had already spotted the two of them and was waving her arms casually in their direction.

Sanae Tokomori next to her also waved vigorously, and seemed to be shouting something.

"...Let's go, let's go over there."

"Huh? Miyamura Nishikata?"

Just as the two turned around, Isshiki Makoto's voice rang out behind them again. By the time Tsuna looked back at the shadows, the four people had already vanished.

"..."

Tsuna and Nishikata simply raised their hands in greeting to Yuta Togashi behind them.

But before he could say more than a few words, he quickly made an excuse to slip away, disappearing as if his feet were greased.

"Two people who appeared out of nowhere..."

Makoto Isshiki watched the two people walk around the corner and muttered to himself.

"Teeth white...!"

"I forgot to ask Miyamura about this..."

It was only now that Makoto Isshiki realized what was happening, but by then Tsuna and the other two had already disappeared.

“It’s not too late for you to ask now,” Yuta Togashi suggested.

"Forget it, what if Miyamura is a complete novice in this area too? We can't let his face fool us."

"..." Yuta Togashi looked at his profile, a little speechless.

It's as if the two of them are experts in this area...

Meanwhile, Tsuna and his companion had just returned to the classroom, feeling relieved.

The three girls, Takanashi Rikka and her two friends, who had mysteriously disappeared earlier, had somehow slipped into their class and were occupying their seats, chatting enthusiastically with Shoko and the others.

Amidst all this festivities, the figure of Fennel on May 7th, seemingly perpetually asleep, was conspicuously absent.

Tsuna guessed that she must have gone to take a nap halfway through...

"With my...—"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Tsuna, who had foreseen this, interrupted Rikka Takanashi's incredibly long prelude as she covered her eyes:
"I know what you're going to ask. Nishikata and I only heard one sentence down there."

"Isshiki-senpai wants to confess to May 7th-senpai today, but he is still hesitant and is discussing it with Togashi-senpai."

Takagi: "..."

Ayumi Azurani: "Something's up?"

Shoko: "What!?"

Rikka Takanashi: "What?!"

Sanae Dekomori: "I knew those two were sneaking out like that, there was something fishy going on!"

Nishikawa Morika: "He hasn't given up yet?"

"..."

Tsuna could sense that many scattered glances from the class were directed at them.

Are they still there?

"They should still be there..."

Before Tsuna could finish speaking...

"Starlight Breaker!" Rikka Takanashi shouted, grabbed Sanae Tokomori next to her, and dashed out of the classroom!
"Hey! Wait for me!"

Dansheng Valley Mori Natsu hurriedly chased after her, followed closely by a gossipy little tail named 'Aji Valley Ayumi'.

"I'll share it with you all when I get back!"

Before leaving, she turned around and waved to the people still seated. "..."

"I'd be willing to date a sweet girl like the class monitor, or even drive a sports car and live in a villa!"

"Stop dreaming, Kitano, it's not bedtime yet."

"...(Japanese swear words)"

.........

Just before class was about to start, Ayumi Ajitani slowly returned to the classroom alone.

"Ayumi-chan, how's it going?" Shoko leaned forward slightly, her eyes sparkling as she asked.

In the back row of the car, Takagi and Nishikata, who had been whispering to each other with their heads close together, suddenly stopped talking.

Both heads unconsciously tilted this way, pricking up their ears to catch any sounds.

Only Tsuna remained curled up in his seat, fast asleep, completely oblivious to the questions posed to him.

"Oh, don't mention it!"

Ayumi Azurani picked up the water glass and gulped down several mouthfuls before putting it down and waving her hand:
"The four of us used all our skills and finally managed to persuade Isshiki-senpai to come to the door of the 'Kyoto Magical Nap Society's Summer'."

"My senior is sleeping soundly inside on May 7th, snoring away in the corner."

"Iroha-senpai really went all out, confessing his feelings right in her ear..."

"As a result, my senior on May 7th was probably just woken up, and before he could even fully open his eyes, he blurted out and decisively rejected him!"

Shoko blinked her big eyes, somewhat incredulous: "...Just...that's it?"

“Yes,” Ayumi Azurani nodded:
"Isshiki-senpai froze on the spot, and Mayday-senpai went back to sleep as if the confession had never happened."

"..."

Shoko and Takagi, who were eavesdropping, were both at a loss for words for a moment...

------

“Boom…boom…boom…!”

Around 5 p.m., the scorching sun gradually subsided, leaving only a slight warmth.

After picking up Shoko from school on his bike, Tsuna went straight to her house.

"I'm back!"

"excuse me."

Tsuna quickly changed his shoes and went inside, his footsteps barely touching the living room floor.

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Yuzuru Nishimiya in front of the TV, his cheeks puffed out, happily munching on a lollipop.

"Your candy...? Was it a gift from that friend last time?" Tsuna asked, puzzled, thinking about the date.

His first thought was of Yuhiro Nagatoshi, that chubby guy who called himself "puffy".

Hmm... I've been running into them on campus ever since I talked to them once during last year's sports festival.

However, we only had a nod and a greeting; we never really had a proper conversation.

"Hachi... (slurp...) Hachiko... gave it to me!"

Nishimiya Yuzuru rested her head on Hachiko's belly and said without turning her head.

"...Hachiko unlocked a new skill?"

Yuzuru Nishimiya popped the lollipop out of her mouth, licked her lips with lingering satisfaction, and explained with a matter-of-fact expression:

“I used my pocket money to buy candy for Hachiko, but Hachiko didn’t eat it. Instead, he took the candy and put it back in my hand.”

"Isn't this a gift that Hachiko specially gave to me!"

Tsuna sat cross-legged on the tatami mat, his eyes glancing at Yuzuru's chubby cheeks, and his lips twitched:

"You dare to eat things that Hachiko has touched?"

"What are you afraid of?" She smacked her lips, giving him a look that said, "You're making a mountain out of a molehill." "The outer plastic wrap is still intact!"

"..."

Shoko also entered the living room, glancing towards the kitchen. Not seeing Nishimiya Kei, she guessed that her grandmother had probably gone for a walk in the park and hadn't returned yet.
