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

After Ai Yi finished dressing, she came out, lifted her long sleeves, and pouted, saying:

"Ugh, I'm not used to this at all."

Kai Uesugi also changed his clothes. The advantage of a yukata is that it's comfortable to wear. He glanced at the silver watch on his wrist.

"Let's go watch Hanabi-neechan dance."

The stage is located in Sumida Park. Cross the Kotomon Bridge, and on the other side is the famous Senso-ji Temple.

Therefore, this is also the place with the highest visitor traffic.

Ai Yi couldn't see anything in the crowd.

"Where is my sister?"

“Backstage,” Uesugi Kai said, looking at the empty stage with only a few staff members adjusting equipment. “This place probably wasn’t entirely built for Kagura Mai.”

There was a small wooden building in the center of the stage, with a drum on top, probably for performances.

Time marches on, and the clouds drift and shift.

The purple sunset faded, leaving a gray-blue sky. The lanterns hanging in the trees lit up at some point, casting a warm glow. The sounds of people coming and going, laughter, and conversation all filled the air.

"Are we about to begin?"

"Yes, it's about to begin."

Above the stage, the host, holding a microphone, announced the official start of the Sumida River performance.

Amidst applause and laughter, the shrine maidens appeared.

Kai Uesugi had already seen Hanabi dressed in an exquisite white Chihaya coat, wearing a tiara, holding a Kagura bell, walking at the very front, step by step towards the stage.

"I want to watch, I want to watch!" Ai realized that the show was starting, but she was obviously shorter than the adults, so she could only keep shouting to Uesugi Kai.

It's certainly possible to hug Ai Yi alone, but what about Qian Ai Yi? We can't just prevent her from watching.

Kai Uesugi had no choice but to tell her, "I can't carry two of them."

"Aiyi can sit on her brother's neck, and then her brother can hug her!"

......

The method is a bit strange, but it is indeed the only feasible solution at present.

The downside is that it requires a high level of physical fitness from the male character who plays the role.

Fortunately, Kai Uesugi fits the bill perfectly.

He wrapped his arms around Ai Yi's waist and lifted her onto his neck.

My first impression.

weight.

Aiyi developed relatively late; she looks small, but she's not light at all.

"So high!" Ai's hands rested on Uesugi Kai's hair, the lights reflected in her eyes shimmering with a strange and wonderful light.

"Sit tight."

It was Qian Aiyi's turn to get up.

"Brother, let's just forget about it..."

"...Are you sorry?"

"Ah."

Qian Aiyi is in sixth grade. Although she hasn't grown very tall yet, she is indeed at an age where she can be shy.

###Chapter 361 Sumida River Fireworks Festival (2)###

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

Mitsuhama, Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture.

On August 5th, people from all over the world gathered in this inland harbor to enjoy the romantic fireworks.

Because this is where the largest and most grand fireworks display in the country is held.

Amidst the bustling crowds, tens of thousands of fireworks began to bloom on the beach at 10 p.m.

A spectacular fireworks display lasting over an hour is a romantic experience that would make any girl's heart flutter.

Before the fireworks begin, there is a leisurely time for dates.

The streets were bustling with people, and occasionally you could see some blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners walking by.

Beside the platform covered with hats, Hanabi Hanabu held her brown-yellow top hat with both hands, her soft, shoulder-length short hair highlighting her delicate face.

"Kai-kun, do you think this hat looks good?"

Kai Uesugi: "What would happen if I said it doesn't look good?"

Hanabi Hanamaru took off her hat, held it in both hands, and said timidly, "If it doesn't look good... I don't know what to choose."

"The reason it doesn't look good is because I didn't help you put it on."

As they were talking, Kai Uesugi reached out and took the top hat, then placed it on Hanabi's little head.

Hanabi Hanamaru, whose hat had been put on her head, shrank back and then looked up at him with her curved eyebrows.

The young girl's violet eyes shone brightly, and her smooth, delicate face was tinged with a soft blush.

"Doesn't this look better?" Uesugi Kai said with a smile.

Hanabi Hanamaru couldn't understand, "Is...is there a difference?"

"It lacks a certain shyness."

Kai Uesugi took out his wallet and handed a 1 yen bill to the young stall owner who praised Hanabi's beauty.

I will give you 8500 yen in change.

Consider this my first gift upon arriving in Songshan City.

It was only afternoon, but there were already many girls in yukatas walking around the streets. It was only a 15-minute walk from Mitsu Station.

There were quite a few couples, and some of the girls wearing yukatas were quite pretty.

"Kai-kun." Hanabi Hanamaru tugged at his sleeve.

"Hmm," Uesugi Kai replied, looking around.

Hanabi Hanabi pouted, "Why does Kai-kun keep looking at other girls...?"

"Jealous?" He turned around and smiled at her upturned face under her hat.

The girl didn't know how to describe this feeling.

Her small hands were clasped tightly to her chest, and her fair, delicate feet, shuffling in wooden clogs, suddenly trotted ahead.

She took off the hat she had just bought and held it in her arms, the wisteria hairpin swaying and shining beside her ear.

At this moment, under the dim light, Hana Maru's cherry-red face stood out clearly and brightly in the crowd.

"Kai-kun, why do you like fireworks?"

"What if I answer 'I don't know'?"

"It doesn't matter if I don't know... Hanabi will still be the Hanabi who loves Kai-kun, but Hanabi wants to know why Kai-kun loves her."

Do you remember the first time we met?

"Ah."

"Akai! Hanabi! Come here quickly!" Mrs. Hanamaru waved hurriedly from the ice cream stand on the other side, and many passersby looked at the two of them.

Hanabi Hanamaru is a girl who doesn't like being watched. She used to be okay; she was cute but had a weak presence.

But ever since she put on her engagement ring, her hidden charm has blossomed, making her the kind of person who attracts attention wherever she goes.

Not to mention she dressed up so beautifully today.

"Kai-kun... let's talk about it later..."

Hanabi jogged over.

Looking at his mother-in-law who was giving him a look, Uesugi Kai wondered if she was deliberately interrupting their conversation.

In front of the stall with lanterns hanging on it, Mrs. Hanamaru handed shaved ice to her daughter: "Speaking of which, does Hanabi know why she's called Hanabi?"

The girl shook her head.

Hanamaru Hanabi took the shaved ice with her little hands, but instead of eating it right away, she handed it to Uesugi Kai, who had just walked over.

Such loving gestures brought a genuine smile to Mrs. Uesugi's face. "Isn't that the same person Hanamaru Hiroki confessed to you at the fireworks festival?"

"Of course it's not that simple." Mrs. Hanamaru took the hat from Hanamaru Hanabi's hand and put it in her own. "Hanabi's name is also due to her own reasons."

"What is it?"

"Hope and color".

The two mothers didn't disturb the young couple's time alone too much. After giving them a few simple instructions to be careful, they smiled and went their separate ways to enjoy themselves.

Mothers are quite reassured about whether Uesugi can protect Hanabi.

To match the festive atmosphere, Uesugi Kai also wore a simple yukata, the same one that Hanabi hadn't dared to put on him that morning.

If there's anything else to the fireworks festival about, it's the sheer number of people.

There were so many that it was difficult to walk.

All I could hear was noise, the sound of police using loudspeakers to guide the flow of people.

Hanabi Hanamaru, trying to avoid the crowd, cautiously followed Kai Uesugi, her wooden clogs creaking softly on the road.

Suddenly, through the gaps in the crowd, the girl caught a glimpse of something she adored.

"Kai-kun, Kai-kun, it's Shark!"

Following the girl's eager gaze, Uesugi Kai saw a huge shark lying quietly inside a transparent gift box.

This is naturally an event gift.
