Living in Tokyo, all I want to do is laze around.

"Summer sailor uniforms must be very thin."

"Yeah," Hanabi Hanabi nodded slightly, "but...it's just so hot..."

Uesugi knew why she was hot, but how could he bring it up directly?

“When Kai-kun is very close, my body… feels weak… I can’t muster any strength, and my chest… is beating very fast…” she said, her head down, speaking very slowly.

“You held me very tightly before,” Uesugi smiled, “you were just too nervous.”

"Does it hurt a lot...?" she asked with concern.

"The more it hurts, the better."

Hanabi Hanabi tilted her head, staring intently into his eyes: "Kai-kun... you've been acting strange lately..."

"As strange as fireworks."

The girl recalled the sensation of him slowly climbing up her waist, and her pretty face flushed: "Kai-kun... why are you so skilled at this..."

"Proficient in what?"

"Touching fireworks..."

"After all, Kai-kun watched Hanabi grow up, so he's very familiar with her."

"But... Kai-kun used to only hug."

Hanamaru Hanabi's increased cuteness made Uesugi Kai's heart flutter again.

"So now I want to touch your breasts."

"...Huh?" Hanabi Hanamaru took a step back and crossed her arms.

"Is that not allowed?"

"Well... it's not impossible, after all... Kai-kun has already kissed Hanabi..." Hanamaru Hanabi said shyly, looking down and enunciating each word.

"Then I'll touch it."

Let's pause for a moment.

"it is good......"

......

"Go to school first." Uesugi didn't move.

"Kai-kun...aren't you going to touch me anymore?" Hanabi Hanabi glanced up at him and whispered.

"A sense of distance." This refers to the sentence I just said.

"Ah...? Hanabi, I understand..."

------

The puddles where raindrops fell reflected the rippling green trees and sky.

The clear glass made the entire cafeteria appear as a mix of gray and white on a cloudy day.

"Damn it! You're such a perfect person! You really are a perfect person!" Goto Iwakatsu angrily shoveled mouthfuls of rice into his mouth.

"Calm down, calm down. Are you only just realizing this now?" Takahiro Tsubokawa patted his back gently like an old father.

“Up…@#$%^*#” Goto hadn’t eaten and was speaking incoherently.

Uesugi: "What?"

After finally managing to swallow the clump of rice in his mouth with Tsubokawa's help, Goto had a chance to continue speaking:

"You definitely did something bad, didn't you?"

That bright silver ring was so eye-catching that it was impossible to ignore.

"Why do you say that?" Uesugi Kai took a sip of coffee as usual; he had already finished his meal.

"Childhood friend! What is a childhood friend! You must have started your evil plan from a young age."

Tsubokawa Takahiro understood what he meant and pushed up his glasses: "Given Suguru's shrewdness, Hanamaru's current weak personality is probably a result of his subjective interference."

Uesugi remained unfazed, gently stirring the rich aroma of his coffee with a spoon: "Back then, I was just a little boy. What could I possibly do?"

It means that he was very innocent at that time and knew nothing.

"Do you think I, a man who was just dumped a month ago, would believe the words of someone who had a cute 15-year-old wife when he was only 16?"

"hateful!"

Goto poked at his unfinished rice with his chopsticks, looking at Uesugi Kai with a resentful expression, "Ugh~ I'm so sour."

Takahiro Tsubokawa suddenly nudged him, "Let's go, let's go."

"Where are you going... uh... Uesugi, take your time eating. Come visit my photography studio sometime. We have a wedding dress for props. Good luck!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Let's go, let's go. You're the kind of idiot who can't read the room." Tsubokawa picked up the plate and pulled Goto away.

"Huh? Who is Tsubokawa calling an idiot?"

"you."

Hanabi Hanabi glanced at the two people walking towards the other end of the cafeteria, then sat down opposite Kai Uesugi.

"Would you like some coffee?" Uesugi Kai pushed the cup toward her.

Hanabi Hanabi's delicate white hands held the cup, and a bright silver ring sparkled on her ring finger.

"Kai-kun...everyone's asking about Hanabi..."

"That's normal. What did you tell them?"

Her small mouth hesitated for a long time before slowly opening: "Fireworks... I don't know how to say it..."

The word "engagement" kept swirling in her throat, but she didn't know how to say it to everyone.

It's as if there are censored words; the moment they open their mouths, they start babbling incoherently.

"Isn't it great that Hanabi has so many friends?" Uesugi Kai smiled as he gazed at her exceptionally beautiful face today.

"But, but!" Hanabi panicked, the coffee she was holding wobbling in her small hands. "Everyone says Hanabi looks much better today, and they keep asking me how I did it."

Kai Uesugi placed her hands on the table and pointed to her ring finger.

"Didn't I say this morning that if Xiaohuahu wears it, she'll always look this good?"

"Could it really be that magical..." Hanabi Hanamaru lowered her head and gently stroked the silver-white ring, the reflected light dazzling and eye-catching.

“Just smile at me and you’ll know,” he said.

Hanabi Hanabi stared at him blankly for a second, then her brows gradually relaxed, a cute glint appearing in her violet eyes, and she smiled naturally.

Just like her name suggests, her beautiful smile is like a brilliant firework blooming in the night sky, illuminating everything and making people's hearts flutter.

Pure and clean.

The boys who had been stealing glances at her from time to time were stunned. Their hearts seemed to stop for a second, and their whole being was suddenly immersed in her brief smile.

This is so adorable that it makes you feel like the whole world is captivated by it.

Then, a feeling of sullenness welled up inside me.

Why not me!

Sitting opposite her, Kai Uesugi was also infected by her smile and couldn't help but smile too.

"very nice."

Just a little more charm and it's this powerful!?

"Is it really that good-looking...?" Hanabi Hanamaru's voice was still weak and lacking in confidence.

"Little Firework, be more confident. Haven't you received a lot of love letters lately?"

"I've turned down all the fireworks..." She thought he was a little jealous, and held out the coffee he had just offered her. "Kai-kun, you always receive them, don't you..."

"I mean, you're very popular, not that I'm jealous."

Hanabi Hanamaru's feelings remained unchanged:

"They... just think the fireworks are pretty... Only Kai-kun wouldn't dislike the fireworks from his childhood..."

The girl often said this because she really cared about it.

When I was lonely and scared, only one person offered a helping hand.

"Before, Hanabi wanted to eat something delicious... Kai-nii secretly ran out of school to buy it for her... When he climbed back over the wall, he even ran into the principal..."

Kai Uesugi smiled. "Your uncle and aunt both asked me to take care of you."

This was a helpless act he made to comfort her.

Because of that incident—in elementary school, their relationship was constantly mocked by younger classmates who thought they were a couple and told them to hurry up and get married.

The blackboard and various textbooks were covered with graffiti of two little figures in mixed colors.

—Because he wasn't very sociable, and Hanabi liked to follow him around.

###Chapter 136 This system is starting to work.###

You have a new message.

【Calligraphy Lv7】

Why is there no task?

Kai Uesugi propped his face up with his left hand, leaning against the window, listening to the lecture while aimlessly glancing at the transparent interface of the system.

Scroll through the character panel, quests, available quests, accepted quests, inventory, skills, current status, etc...

He suddenly discovered a shopping mall interface at the very bottom, in the corner.

It wasn't there before, is it a new addition?
