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

Am I being treated like a beggar?

Clearly! It was clearly him who did the bad thing!

I almost got disfigured because of this!

Not only did he not apologize, but he also tried to fob him off with that tiny amount of money!

Who cares?!

With her face covered in bandages, Kitagawa Sakaki turned around angrily, glaring at the figure walking away in the distance.

Just as she was about to yell at this annoying guy, her stomach growled again, and she suddenly felt weak and powerless.

I'm so...so hungry...

The strawberry cake dangling from Kai Uesugi's hand made her swallow three times.

I really want to eat something.

I really want to eat kaiseki cuisine in Ginza, I really want to eat the golden eel rice in Shinjuku, and I really want to have a seafood feast at a restaurant near Tokyo Tower.

But... I don't have any money...

The 50 yen I secretly brought out has all been spent...

I can't even afford a bottle of mineral water now.

Kitagawa Sakakisa touched her stomach and lowered her head, suddenly remembering the ramen that Hanpei had taken her to eat the day before yesterday.

It tastes pretty good.

It seems to be only 660 yen...

Why is it so cheap?

She was too exhausted to think about the problem; her mind was filled with images of ramen noodles.

But... I don't even have 1000 yen...

1000 yen......

Kitagawa Sakakisa lowered her head and stared at Noguchi Hideyo, who was pitying her at her feet.

The image of that annoying guy from earlier inexplicably popped into my head.

She gritted her teeth: I will absolutely not give in!

A gentle breeze blew by.

Out of pity for the girl, Hideyo Noguchi began to roll like a tumbleweed toward the sewer opening beside the road.

Then, it fell down.

"My 1000 yen!!"

Kitagawa Sakakisa knelt on the dirty ground, staring blankly at the iron fence with its unusually large opening, as if the gods were playing a joke on her.

I'm going to go hungry again this morning.

###Chapter 180 The July Sports Festival (1)###

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

As the sunlight streamed through the window, Hanabi Hanamaru, who was fast asleep, frowned and suddenly felt a tickle on her cheek.

It felt like being squeezed and kneaded.

Opening her eyes, the girl slightly stretched out her snow-white neck, which was marked with red marks.

Then, a lazy waking sound came from her little nose.

Getting up is exceptionally difficult for Xiaohuahuo on weekends.

"Did you stay up late drawing last night?"

"Hanabi...no..." Hanabi's weak voice sounded like a dream as she hugged the life-sized shark plushie in her arms.

Then...

Then there was no further movement.

Seeing that she still wanted to continue sleeping, Uesugi Kai reached out his hand towards her little nose and kept rubbing her nose with his bent index finger.

As she gently shook her head, the movements became increasingly larger.

Hanabi Hanamaru, with her sleepy eyes closed, kept sniffling and shaking her head, trying to get rid of this uncomfortable itch.

"Um--"

An uncomfortable nasal tone.

"Get up," Uesugi Kai said.

"Hanabi, Hanabi wants to sleep a little longer."

With her eyes tightly closed, Hanabi turned her head to the side, twisted his fingers, and slightly raised her fair, slender legs to clamp the shark's belly.

However, as she rolled over, Uesugi Kai discovered that her soft, white belly was exposed.

Wearing a thin nightgown, her fair skin looked delicate and smooth in the sunlight.

As a normal man, he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at it a few more times.

"Isn't Hanabi supposed to go for a morning run today? It's almost noon."

"Um......"

The warm sunlight shone on the wrinkled bed, making the girl's lovely face, her belly exposed to the air, and her little feet holding a big shark become increasingly alluring.

Hanamaru Hanabi's bare feet, her pink and white, smooth toes.

If you pinch it, its delicate, easily held flesh will feel like a sweet stream flowing through your heart, bringing a sense of lightness and comfort in the gentle warmth.

The way she sleeps on her side in bed is a kind of beauty.

And when it comes to this kind of beauty that can be touched at will, yet is sacred, who could resist it?

Anyway, Uesugi can't.

He gently grasped her tiny, almost unreal, bare feet, his fingertips brushing against her palm in the barely perceptible contact.

Hanabi Hanamaru, who was just fast asleep, immediately opened her eyes and moved her feet back.

But he grabbed it.

"Kai-kun, don't... don't scratch!"

Kai Uesugi, who had grabbed her, smiled and said, "Then get up."

Hanabi Hanabi hugged the shark and said, "Kai-kun, let go of Hanabi's feet first."

"Get up first." Uesugi Kai casually pinched his cheek.

Hanabi, who was extremely sensitive to this, immediately hid her eyes behind the shark fin, and her bare feet tucked in in fear as if gripping the floor.

He kept saying things like "Kai-kun, no," "Kai-kun, you can't," and "It's so itchy."

"Kai-kun...don't do this...Hanabi will wake up."

Seeing her shy and hesitant demeanor, Uesugi Kai gently pinched her tender toes and fell into thought.

Did I capture her, or did she capture me?

This is a problem as deep as a swamp.

Uesugi Kai, who quickly gave up, gently scraped her toes as he said, "So, do you want me to help you put on your shoes?"

Hanabi Hanamaru blushed with embarrassment from the tickling sensation and whispered, "Kai-kun... just don't touch me like that."

However, this statement had absolutely no effect.

Above the azure sky of Tokyo, where crows filled the air, strings, wind instruments, and percussion instruments played a symphony.

The light music club, comprised of five schools, paraded in full regalia on the crimson track.

Even the prestigious Shin-gao High School, known for its vast campus, was packed with people at this time.

Kai Uesugi felt that only world-class star concerts could compare to this scale.

If there's one women's sport that's most popular with men, it's probably track and field.

Although the short skirts aren't visible, certain things that some boys don't possess attract even more attention.

"Holy crap! What did I just see? What did I just see?!"

Several boys in the class stared wide-eyed, unwilling to blink even once.

Another throng of heads roared out their youthful fury at the absolute thing on the track.

"Yuki-senpai!"

"Yuki-senpai!"

"Senior Yuuki is the best!"

"Go for it, senior! I'll definitely sell my house and marry you when I get home!!"

On the track, with her long ponytail flying and her upper body heaving, Yuki Kagawa gave a faint smile to the men outside the fence.

Sunlight like the sun.

Seeing that smile is like being struck by Cupid's arrow of love, and youthful energy begins to stir.

The boys erupted in cheers and shouts once again, their faces flushed as they repeatedly chanted the name "Yuki Kagawa".

The boys who couldn't squeeze into the crowd were even more curious about what they could see inside.

The three stood at the forefront of the crowd.

Takahiro Tsubokawa kept adjusting his glasses and shifting his gaze, following the up-and-down motion.

"You mean with that level of fluctuation, were you wearing a bra?"

"Won't it hurt a lot if you don't wear a bra?" Goto, who had already turned over a new leaf, asked without blinking.
