My childhood sweetheart is Nishimiya Glass

Chapter 416 Summer Vacation Ends and the Aggrieved Nishikata
The two-month summer vacation flew by.

Two days before the start of the semester, before autumn had fully touched the branches, Shoko and Takagi went out to play and told them about Dr. Bert's prediction.

After hearing this, Ayumi Ajitani generously waved her hand and said she would cover all her expenses for that day's outings.

……

“Ding-ling-ling…!”

Without even lifting his eyelids, Tsuna slapped the alarm clock shut with a precise backhand. He got up and yanked open the curtains, revealing the cool, blue edge of the sky.

I quickly put on my sweatshirt, said goodbye to Shizuka Miyamura who was preparing breakfast downstairs, and went out for my morning run.

When I came back from my run, there was a steaming hot breakfast on the restaurant table. When I came out of the bathroom, there was also Daiki Miyamura reading a newspaper at the table.

"Mom..."

Tsuna stuffed the last bite of his sandwich into his mouth and mumbled indistinctly to Shizuka Miyamura, who was still scrolling through her phone:

"Where's my lunchbox...?"

After asking the question, he picked up the milk beside him, tilted his head back and took a big gulp, swallowing it whole along with the remaining sandwich crumbs in his mouth.

“Uh…” Shizuka Miyamura paused upon hearing this, then slowly looked up at him. “I forgot…”

"Just grab something quick for lunch at school... I'll prepare a big meal for you tonight."

Over the years, Shoko has been taking care of Tsuna's lunchboxes; she hasn't prepared one for him in a long time.

If he hadn't asked about it just now, I probably would have completely forgotten about it...

Unfortunately, school starts today, and Shoko has taken leave again. For the next two weeks, she'll have to make his lunchbox herself...

"..."

At this moment, Miyamura Daio put down the newspaper he was holding, looked at the two of them, and made a decision:

"Give him mine. I'm taking Shoko and the other girl to the hospital today, so we can just grab a bite at a restaurant outside."

"Uh..." A hint of embarrassment flashed across Miyamura Shizuka's face: "I wasn't prepared for yours either..."

"..."

Miyamura Daio opened his mouth, clearly wanting to say something, but his gaze met hers, which carried a silent warning.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

In the end, he could only reluctantly pick up the newspaper he had just put down, unfold it with a whoosh, and bury his face almost entirely behind it, pretending to be extremely focused on reading it.

Looking at the loving couple, Gang shrugged helplessly. Over the years, his father had truly shown that he was serious when he needed to be and cowardly when he needed to be.

"I'm stuffed."

He got up, washed his hands, grabbed his schoolbag from the living room, said goodbye to the two people in the dining room, and went out.

He rode his motorcycle out of the garage, glanced back in the direction of the Nishimiya family's house, and headed towards the school.

Shoko should still be sleeping, so I won't wake her. I'll go to the hospital to see her after school.

.........

"Miyamura, why haven't I seen Nishimiya-kun today? Did she take the day off?"

As soon as Nishikata entered the classroom and threw down his backpack, the first thing he did was poke the person in the seat in front of him who was idly scrolling through his phone.

Tsuna turned around: "You don't know...?"

“I should…know?” Nishikata subconsciously raised an eyebrow.

He tried hard to recall that this summer vacation, he had either been working in the fumes of a ramen shop serving dishes or was exhausted and lying at home like a corpse...

As for the number of times I've gone out with them, I can count them on one hand...

"Miyamura, you didn't ask for leave?"

At that moment, Ayumi Ajitani's surprised voice rang out from behind them.

Suddenly, she appeared, her wide eyes filled with disbelief.
"I thought you would definitely go and accompany Shoko to the hospital today."

Upon hearing this, Tsuna could only sigh and wave his hand, "My request for leave was rejected."

"Could you please explain what's going on?"

Listening to their conversation, Nishikata felt that a generation gap had developed between them over the summer... "Didn't Takagi-chan tell you?"

Nishikata shook his head.

"Didn't Miyamura tell you either?"

Nishikata still shook his head.

"Tsk..."

Ayumi clicked her tongue, tossed out a half-hearted "How pitiful~", and turned to slip away to the group of chattering girls at the front of the classroom.

"..."

In the end, it was Gang who explained the whole story to him.

Nishikata's eyes widened suddenly, his mouth agape for a few seconds, then a feeling of being collectively 'abandoned' and disbelief surged into his mind:
"Such a big thing, and not a single one of you told me???"

Tsuna scratched his face. "I thought Takagi-san would tell you."

"..."

at this time--

A soft, clear voice suddenly drifted from behind the main character:

"Ah."

Takagi, carrying a briefcase, had somehow already arrived at the scene, calmly observing the two of them, and even nodded in greeting.
“I thought Miyamura would tell you, so I didn’t say anything…”

His tone even carried a hint of self-righteousness...

"No... it's you... I..."

The film was at a loss for words for a moment.

.........

I spent the whole morning drowning in the principal's nonsense in the auditorium.

By the afternoon, it was time for the new textbook and Nanase-sensei's emotionless repetition of important notes.

Finally, the school dismissal bell rang, and the students shouted and rushed out of the school gate.

The classroom corridor, which was just packed with people, was now empty except for a sparse stream of people slowly making their way out.

"Hey! Miyamura, wait a minute!"

Ayumi Ajitani suddenly called out to Tsuna, who was about to stand up abruptly.

She waved her already lit-up phone screen and spoke rapidly:
"Could you please send us the hospital address for Glass Sauce? We want to visit her at the hospital. We just sent her a message, but she hasn't replied yet."

Tsuna glanced at the three anxious faces, then shook his head without hesitation:

"You don't need to go for now. The date has been changed to the 10th."

"Huh!?" Ayumi Ajitani was taken aback.

Tsuna glanced at his unresponsive phone screen and added in a flat tone, "Shoko told me this when class started this afternoon."

"And she hasn't replied to my messages yet, most likely... she's taking a nap and hasn't woken up yet."

"..."

After explaining, Tsuna said "See you tomorrow," and before Ayumi and the others could ask any further questions, he nimbly slipped through the gap between the chairs and disappeared outside the classroom in the blink of an eye.

Back home, he learned the whole story from Shizuka Miyamura in the living room. As for Daio Miyamura, he had gone fishing.

The schedules of the experts who were originally scheduled to perform the surgery changed at the last minute, so the examination and surgery had to be postponed.

However, there is good news: Dr. Bert will stay in Japan until December.

"Mom, I'm going out for a bit."

Gang noticed his phone screen light up, grabbed it, glanced at it, and hurriedly headed towards the entrance.

Shizuka Miyamura didn't even bother to lift her head, and waved dismissively at his back as if shooing away a fly.
