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

She suddenly smiled and turned around, quickening her pace down the mountain along the path beside the stream, stepping on the stones.

Kai Uesugi's heart was also moved, and he involuntarily took a step, following closely behind her pure and nimble little feet as she walked along the forest path.

Hanabi Hanabi ran lightly, her silhouette as she descended the mountain as clear and ethereal as the stream beside her, flowing gently.

She was running, faster and faster, her mood drifting aimlessly behind her as her skirt swayed. Her silhouette seemed both close and distant.

Uesugi Kai was a little nervous, worried, and scared, and unconsciously quickened his pace, wanting to keep up with her.

"be careful!"

But she seemed not to hear him, still smiling warmly, occasionally stopping and turning back to call him to hurry up and not go too far.

Kai Uesugi's heart also started racing.

As the scenery of the mountains and fields passed by, he felt that the wind blowing across his face had never been so fresh and invigorating!

###Chapter 348 Girls are so great###

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

She ate breakfast rather late in the morning, and after finishing, Uesugi Kai went back to bed for a nap.

Last night, Hanabi insisted on turning him into a cat so she could pet him.

So I spent the whole night at Uesugi Kai, and now I'm so sleepy, incredibly sleepy.

After taking a nap, when she was conscious enough to get out of bed, Uesugi Kai subconsciously reached out and grabbed at the side.

It's better not to try to catch it; the more you try, the softer it gets.

......

"Kai-kun..."

Hearing the sound, Uesugi Kai barely opened his eyes, relying on the sunlight streaming in through the window.

Realizing there was a girl huddled under the covers, he quickly released his claw-like hand:

"Ah, sorry... I didn't mean to..."

Hanabi Hanamaru peeked her little head out from under the thin blanket, her face flushed as she lay on her side on the pillow:

"It was clearly intentional."

"Hmm...? You sound like you're very happy..."

"No, not at all," Hanabi Hanabi cleverly changed the subject. "Kai-kun, wake up, you have a match today."

Uesugi Kai didn't move, propping his head up with one hand as he looked at the girl in front of him: "By the way, what were you doing huddled under the covers just now?"

"Sleep... go to sleep..."

"Could it be that he's after my looks? Maybe he'll sneak a peek like he's petting a cat."

Hanabi Hanamaru was clearly taken aback, not expecting that she would be turned on and accused while they were chatting.

It was clearly his restless hand that had been grabbing around in the blankets and woke her up.

I'll bite you!

When Uesugi Kai saw her puffing out her cheeks and lunging at him, he didn't flinch, letting her teeth bite his shoulder.

It hurts a little, but it's also a little warm.

Most importantly, it's a little sweet.

Kai Uesugi laughed:

"Oh, it actually bit me."

Of course, he wasn't going to be outdone. The moment she pounced on him and bit him, he reached out and touched her slender, kitten-like waist, slipped inside her clothes, and started scratching and clawing at her fleshy breasts.

Hanabi Hanamaru was very ticklish, so she quickly loosened her teeth, placed her hands on his chest, and kept laughing.

Uesugi Kai pressed his advantage, laying her down on the large bed, crawling into her pajamas, and vigorously scratching her fair yet pinkish belly.

She was tickled until she grinned from ear to ear, her whole body twisting and turning on the big bed, her little feet kicking wildly, kicking the blankets and toys off the floor, and she kept begging for mercy.

"Don't kick randomly."

The farce only subsided when Uesugi Kai grabbed one of her toes that was stomping in the air.

"Kai-kun... good, bad..."

"The fireworks are so white."

Kai Uesugi smiled at the pink little belly and casually pinched the toes that were kicking wildly in the air.

With her delicate, white fingers and fair feet, her entire palm felt small and petite when she held them.

Kai Uesugi couldn't help but glance at the small foot in her hand. It had been kicking wildly just now, but now it was quietly being held in her hand.

Looking at the messy bed in front of her, Hanabi Hanabi was panting, hugging a shark plush toy, her face flushed, clearly recovering.

"Kai-kun...you're bullying Hanabi again..."

Kai Uesugi used to subdue her by tickling her like that.

Hanabi Hanamaru suddenly kicked out with her little foot again, trying to sneak up on him once more.

Unfortunately, it was like sending a lamb to the slaughter, giving away his other foot in vain.

Uesugi Kai caught two at once.

"Kai-kun, let go..." Hanabi Hanamaru stretched out her legs, only to find that he had completely taken control of her, and could only speak shyly.

Sitting cross-legged, Uesugi Kai placed her feet in front of her stomach, her right hand clenching tightly to prevent her from breaking free and escaping.

"This is a trophy—well, no, it should be called a murder weapon. It was just trying to ambush me. How can you just let it go like that? Besides... doesn't Hanabi think your little feet are cute?"

As Uesugi Kai spoke, he tickled her soft, smooth, and bouncy pink toes with his thumb.

Hanabi Hanamaru reacted immediately, letting out a soft "Ah!" as she quickly covered her flushed face with the shark-shaped object, shrinking back and saying weakly:

"No, no...it itches so much..."

"Sigh, you can never beat me. As soon as I tickle you, Hanabi can't keep up." Uesugi Kai kept talking while his hands were playing tricks.

"Hanabi is ticklish... Stop! Stop scratching her..."

Who lost today?

"It's...fireworks..."

Uesugi Kai released the pair of tiny feet in her hands, and Hanamaru Hanabi immediately withdrew, shyly covering her entire petite body with the blanket.

"You don't know, my shoulders have been hurting from swinging wooden swords lately."

"That firework can help Kai-kun massage his back..." The voice came from under the bulging thin blanket.

"You're too weak to feel anything... but I have a suggestion."

"What is it...?"

"Use your feet to pound your back—how does that feel? It gives you a lot more strength, and my back feels much more comfortable."

“Kai-kun is always acting strangely... He would never pound someone’s back with his feet…” Hanabi Hanamaru hugged the shark tighter.

"You don't understand... I find every part of Hanabi incredibly cute. Like I just said, it's a manifestation of affectionate contact."

"That Kai-kun is so strange!"

Shark landed in Uesugi Kai's hand in an instant. When he took it off his face, he saw Hanabi Hanabi running away in a panic without even putting on her shoes, running out of the bedroom on the floor.

This scene...

Hmm—if you ask Uesugi Kai, the sound of bare little feet pattering on the floor is quite adorable.

Girls are so wonderful.

This nap wasn't very long.

After washing up, Hanabi Hanabi went out.

Before leaving, he only said one sentence: "I'm leaving."

Seeing her somewhat evasive look, Uesugi Kai guessed that she was afraid he would say something strange again, and she wouldn't be able to keep up with the conversation.

But so what? It's just foot fetish.

Furthermore, when Hanamaru Hanabi designed the original artwork for the fox spirit girl Tenkai Nanami Meigetsu, didn't she also draw her feet exceptionally clearly?

Uesugi Kai is now even starting to suspect that Hanabi is deliberately saying something strange in order to avoid mentioning something that might happen.

......

Aiyi and Qian Aiyi also went out with Hanabi today.

Since summer vacation started, the two of them have loved playing with Hanabi-neechan.

After washing up, Uesugi Kai saw the message on her phone.

It was sent by Uesugi Shio.

"Hurry up and come over for the match."

The message also included an address.

......

Kendo competitions are usually held indoors.

Places like stadiums.

The preliminary rounds of this national competition were no exception.

It uses a martial arts hall specifically for competitions.

When Kai Uesugi arrived at the entrance, audience members were already entering one after another, and occasionally some people carrying cameras and following TV reporters could be seen on the periphery.

While Kendo competitions may not be as famous as baseball, they are still something that everyone is familiar with.

This practice is widespread in many universities in Japan.
