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

........

Snowflakes fell outside the window. [Hana Maru Hanabi] sat on the bed, her cute face showing a mixture of calm and emotion.

The first time I became a girl, I was naturally curious.

【Hana Maru Hanabi】stretched her hands in front of her, spread her fingers and clenched them together.

Her gaze shifted back and forth between her left and right hands, then she moved her slender, delicate hands upwards, slowly covering the small mound on her chest.

【Hana Maru Hanabi】Carefully bring your hands together.

At this moment, only a thin layer of pink pajamas separated the fingers from the skin, and the softness was simply irresistible.

My hands felt as if they had melted into thick milk.

It was so comfortable it defied description.

【Hana Maru Hanabi】swallowed hard and looked down at the delicate little hands that were constantly kneading the hill.

This feeling was very strange, a strange feeling I had never experienced before.

She could clearly feel the sensations her body was giving her: itchy, a little painful, and a little... comfortable.

"This is... a girl...?"

The kneading hands did not stop; instead, due to a strange feeling in their hearts, they increased the pressure slightly.

【Hana-maru Hanabi】closed her eyes, her throat unconsciously emitting a soft, delicate sound, her cute cheeks began to flush, and her body immediately warmed up.

That's so strange, he quickly stopped what he was doing.

"Is this... how Hanabi usually feels?"

Kai Uesugi knew that Hanabi was usually shy and physically sensitive, but he didn't expect her to be this sensitive.

Even a slight touch with a little force will cause the body temperature to rise rapidly.

###Chapter 340 The Senior Brothers of the One-Sword Style of the Spiritual Mind###

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

When I got home that evening, I happened to bump into Hanabi Hanamoto coming out of the bathroom.

Her face was still red, and she was wearing the white shirt that Uesugi Kai used to wear. The top button of the collar was not fastened, revealing her crystal-clear collarbone, which still had a few drops of water on it. At the same time, the bottom button of the shirt was also not fastened, and her skin was exposed between the shirt's corners. The shirt clung to her slender waistline, and her cute navel was faintly visible under the fastened buttons.

There were obvious gullies there, wet and slippery, with a reddish tinge.

She's beautiful, but all Uesugi Kai sees in that cute little belly is temptation.

The white shirt was quite a bit too big for her, just covering her buttocks and the upper part of her thighs. From Kai Uesugi's perspective, it was impossible to tell whether she was wearing pants, but the legs peeking out from under the shirt were so soft and delicate, with a faint cherry pink tinge on her fair skin.

Xiaohua, who had just come out of the bath, noticed his gaze on her stomach. She shyly covered her face with her hands and whispered, "You can't look."

"I've already touched it."

"Even if you've touched it... it's still not allowed."

Kai Uesugi chuckled, resting his chin on his hand. "Dressed like this when you came back, were you trying to seduce me?"

"I just happened to run into Kai-kun..." Hanabi Hanamaru hurriedly avoided him.

"Where are you going?" Uesugi Kai blocked her way, and she stopped immediately, a fragrance wafting in her face as she was carried by him.

"Blow-dry your hair..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she lowered her head, walked around him, and went to the bedroom.

Kai Uesugi followed her and stood beside her. When he saw her pick up the hair dryer, he stepped forward and took her wrist.

"I'll blow-dry your hair."

Hanabi Hanamaru nodded slightly in agreement.

Kai Uesugi stood behind her, pulled up her short hair, and styled it layer by layer from the inside out.

Don't set the heat too high, or it will damage your hair.

Her hair was so fine and soft that it was estimated that five strands of her hair could match one of Uesugi Kai's. Even Uesugi Kai was a little envious of such delicate hair.

"Is there anything interesting to do as a shrine maiden today?"

Hanabi Hanamaru thought for a moment before answering, “The priest taught us how to wear and fold our shrine maiden robes, and how to use laurel leaves to bless and ward off evil spirits for worshippers. Today’s job is to collect old amulets, which means cleaning them with salt, and then we collect them to perform purification rituals for the worshippers. The sun is very strong today, and while we were working, an old woman asked us if we were hot. We all said we weren’t, and the old woman smiled and said to us, ‘Because you’re still young,’ and offered us water.”

"It's a very enriching experience. I thought it would be like working as a waiter."

"Of course, it's very busy! There's basically no time to rest."

Kai Uesugi smiled and said, "Yeah, thanks for your hard work."

"Kai-kun... Kai-kun said that so gently."

"'Very gentle' is a phrase used when you can't find any good qualities in someone."

"Fireworks, I mean it."

"I wasn't joking."

......

The hairdryer blew slowly, curling the girl's delicate short hair.

"Has Kai-kun asked about the magatama?"

"I asked, but Senior Sister Sakakibara probably really doesn't know."

Hanabi Hanamaru didn't ask any further questions.

"Kai-kun...can I turn into a cat and sleep with Hanabi tonight...?"

Kai Uesugi turned his head to look at her profile: "You like cats but not Kai-kun?"

"How could that be... I just wanted to touch it..."

"Ah, I understand that feeling too."

Is that okay?

"I reluctantly agreed to Hana-chan's request."

After blow-drying her hair, Kai Uesugi transformed into Uesugi Neko, just as Hanabi had requested.

He strolled lazily into the bedroom and found Hanabi Hanabi standing by the bed with her hands behind her back.

Is this a surprise?

Uesugi Neko looked up at her.

She smiled gently and took out a fluffy ball from behind her back.

Uesugi Neko took a step back.

Little Fireworks actually... did something naughty...?

------

The next morning arrived.

After breakfast, Ai-yi and Chi-ai-yi went out with Hanamaru Hanabi.

When Uesugi Kai went back to the bedroom to change her clothes, she glanced at the fluffy ball lying quietly on the bed with its strings pulled out.

Playing with her last night left me exhausted, which was really not a good thing.

As is customary, Uesugi Kai also took the train to Mushin Dojo today.

The disciples continued their training as usual. Sword practice requires the coordination of qi, which means shouting it out loud.

Therefore, noise and sweat are unavoidable.

Uesugi Kai changed his shoes at the entrance, bowed to the dojo, and then went inside.

"棹."

“Teacher’s representative.” Uesugi Kai bowed slightly.

Sakakibara Matsukata is also from the older generation. Although he practices kendo, he doesn't seem to be too formal about etiquette. He just needs to say hello.

"Your senior brothers will be here soon."

Uesugi Kai asked, "Are you really going to cause me trouble?"

"Are you afraid?"

"No, it's just that we're all Uncle's disciples after all, so it's better to respect each other."

------

It was not clear.

Winter is the perfect time to snuggle up in bed and keep warm.

I couldn't bear to get out of bed, nor could I bear to change my blankets into clothes to keep warm.

Even more reluctant to leave the warm little house and go outside to see the snow falling all around.

The fragrance filled her gently rhythmic breaths as Uesugi Kai, enjoying the warmth of the blankets, habitually touched Hanabi Hanabi's little belly beside her.

Her belly was always very soft, smooth and tender, and as you touched it, a warm and comfortable feeling would appear in your palm—and because of this, you would be reluctant to leave it.

But at this moment, Uesugi Kai, with her eyes closed, sensed something strange.

His outstretched hand touched not a soft belly, but a slightly firm, very flat lower abdomen.

Although he was not fully awake and his consciousness was still hazy, he vaguely knew that this feeling was very strange in terms of texture.

He frowned subconsciously, then continued to stroke his stomach, feeling increasingly strange.

Following this feeling, he skipped the belt and slid his hand down.

As he touched her, Uesugi Kai suddenly lost all sleepiness and sat up abruptly in bed.

"you!"

Just as he was about to speak, he realized that the face in front of him seemed somewhat familiar.

Perhaps because he hadn't fully woken up, his eyes were still a little blurry. He blinked several times in a row, and only after his eyes adjusted to the dim light could he be sure that the face in front of him was one he knew all too well.
