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

"Kai-kun...didn't you say we should keep our distance...?"

In this state, the sound of raindrops outside is exceptionally clear.

"Intimate contact is also a sense of distance."

The soft, supple waist, caressed by both hands, sent a ticklish sensation through it.

......

The girl's beautiful eyes sparkled as she gazed at him, and she murmured:

"Kai-kun...aren't you going to continue...?"

Her weak voice was barely audible, and her heart pounded wildly.

Kai Uesugi smiled, turned around, picked up a piece of sushi from the coffee table, and put it into her soft lips. "Distance."

Then he bent down, picked up the little leather shoe, held the girl's delicate foot tightly wrapped in black stockings, and gazed into her shy eyes.

Slowly... it slides in silk.

"You're dressed, let's eat."

------

Hanamaru's family.

For some reason, Uesugi Kai always felt a heavy weight in his heart when facing his father-in-law.

There's a kind of...invisible pressure...

When he interrogates criminals and criticizes his subordinates as a superintendent of police, is he also like this?

Hanabi Hanamaru carefully poured three cups of hot tea and handed them to her parents and Kai Uesugi.

Hanamaru Yuuki was dressed in particularly neat casual clothes, but his expression was quite ordinary. He raised his cup, took a sip of the hot tea his daughter had poured, and said, "In my eyes, you are not worthy of Hanabi in any way."

Mrs. Hanamaru, with her long hair flowing down her shoulders, nudged him with her elbow, "Alright, alright, stop being stubborn."

"Ahem, Mom, don't interrupt me."

As a son-in-law, Uesugi Kai felt he had to give face to his father-in-law. "That's what I think too."

After putting down the plate, Hanabi Hanabi sat down next to Kai Uesugi, lowered her head, pressed her inner thighs together, and clasped her two small hands between them.

—She changed into a high-necked dress that covered part of her neck.

Hanamaru Yuuki, holding a teacup in his right hand, glanced at his daughter who dared not look at him and asked, "Why is Hanabi dressed so formally at home?"

"ah...?"

Hanabi Hanamaru's eyes darted away, her head bowed. She subconsciously reached out a hand to pull her collar up to cover her snow-white neck. "Dad... Dad said he wanted to talk to Kai-kun, so Hanabi changed into a more formal outfit."

Her little actions were naturally noticed by her father.

Hanamaru Yuuki couldn't help but sigh. His little darling hadn't even been warm for a few years before she was gone.

He quickly put on a stern face at Uesugi Kai, "Hanabi is only 5 years old, you... you know what I mean, right?"

"Understood." Uesugi Kai nodded seriously.

Hanabi Hanabi glanced at him furtively, then lowered her head shyly, remembering his warm hand stroking her waist.

The Hanamaru couple observed all the reactions.

Although he was prepared, Hanamaru Hiroki, who had always doted on fireworks, couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted.

"Take good care of Hanabi. Although I know what kind of person you are, I still have to warn you a few things."

"No cheating, no domestic violence. There's no such thing as divorce in the Hanamaru family. You're engaged, so you have to take responsibility to the end."

"clear."

Hanamaru Hiroki sighed again, "I won't say any more, let's get down to business."

"Yes."

What are your plans for the future?

"Take the entrance exam for Dongda University."

"Then?"

"Civil servant".

“Since you’re going to take the civil service exam, you can come work for me after you graduate,” said Hanamaru Yuuki.

"Be a policeman?"

"Don't you want to be one?" Hanamaru Yuuki noticed that he seemed somewhat unwilling.

Uesugi Kai hesitated for a moment, "...okay, but could you transfer me to the Safety and Security Division?"

The Life Safety Department is responsible for handling non-violent cases.

Family disputes, children running away from home, and juvenile fighting crimes all fall under this category.

"You became a policeman just to do this?" Hanamaru Hiroki put down his teacup, the steam rising from the tea.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

"..." Hanamaru Yuuki pondered for a moment, "That's fine too. The Safety Division is safer, but I estimate your term won't be very long."

"Why?" Uesugi Kai didn't understand.

Hanamaru Yuuki glanced at him, took another sip of tea, and said, "The professional group that came in from the University of Tokyo has been mediating family disputes in the Life Safety Division and helping Tokyo citizens find their cats and dogs. Do you think that's possible?"

"Can I not join the professional group?"

"It's a complete waste of your status as a graduate of the University of Tokyo. You might as well not be a policeman."

Hanamaru Hiroki discovered that his son-in-law seemed to lack ambition.

"It's not that you have to be a policeman, but if you want to marry Hanabi, you have to show the corresponding financial strength. A profession is a prerequisite, unless you marry into our Hanamaru family."

"Is it okay?" Uesugi Kai asked tentatively.

Hanabi Hanabi suddenly looked up and interjected, "Kai-kun, you don't need to do that. Hanabi can take care of Kai-kun."

"..."

My father-in-law's career advice came to nothing.

However, he did agree to their engagement too early.

A daughter's marriage symbolizes the end of a father who dotes on his daughter.

Kai Uesugi didn't know how his father-in-law would feel, but thinking about it carefully, his sister-in-law was about to be born, so his father-in-law probably wouldn't be too sad.

Although they don't know yet if it's a daughter.

Friday, June 5th.

The week-long plum rains finally stopped today, and the sunlight filtering through the clouds reflected off the damp ground like gold dust.

The spacious swimming pool at Shin Gyo High School reflected shimmering golden light, perfectly showcasing the girls' graceful bodies in their swimsuits.

So the boys' eyes always tend to look towards the girls, intentionally or unintentionally. The stunning moment when the girls dived made their eyes widen and their mouths gape with excitement.

If I had to use a metaphor, it would be like Du Fu meeting Li Bai—it's impossible not to be captivated.

For Uesugi, swimming lessons were a feast for the eyes, but the exhaustion from struggling in the water never truly allowed him to immerse himself in them.

He likes to swim slowly, as if he's pacing in the water as he completes the tasks assigned by his PE teacher.

"Uesugi! Hurry up! You're the only one who hasn't finished yet!"

Go, real-life people!

Seeing them panting heavily, Uesugi Kai lazily didn't want to respond, comfortably finishing her task for the day.

Let's speed things up when the time is almost up, as long as we don't exceed the time limit.

The PE teacher, with a whistle hanging around his neck, couldn't help but rub his head, shake it, and wave his hand, saying:

"Alright, alright, everyone go take a break. Anyway, Uesugi won't fail to finish."

As it turns out, everyone had anticipated this outcome and immediately identified what they needed to do.

—Most of them went to peek at the girls' white thighs.

Much later.

Kai Uesugi, who had climbed out of the water, lay on a blanket, gazing at the dazzling blue and white sky above the transparent ceiling.

Lying on the ground, gazing at the blue sky, reminded him of the orchards on his grandfather's side of the road.

Are the oranges selling well?

He still remembered the old man lifting him up high, his eyes shining with pride, saying, "This child will definitely make a lot of money someday."

Unfortunately, even now that I have a system, I am still a poor person.

I recently heard my father say that it seems the old man wants to withdraw from the farmers' association.

This is very bad.

Kai Uesugi couldn't help but turn his head to look at Rika Kyuu, who had a pretty face and no airs of a rich young lady.

"Hey, Uesugi, Uesugi."

Knowing it was Goto Iwakatsu's voice, Uesugi Kai, who was lying on his side, didn't turn around. "Get to the point if you have something to say, otherwise don't disturb my rest."

"You seem very tired lately? Is the archery club's training very demanding?" Goto said, sitting behind him and following his gaze towards the girls.

Kai Uesugi's eyes were half-open, and he spoke listlessly, "I practice coordination with at least 00 arrows every day. My arm cries out to me every morning when I wake up how much it hurts."

"well enough......"

Goto looked him up and down, realizing his gaze was misplaced.

"Hmm... Uesugi, who are you looking at?"

"Ninety pears fragrant".

"Oh~~~"
