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

"Hehe, actually we were talking about..."

Hanabi Hanamaru suddenly tugged at Kitagawa Sakakisa's arm and then shook her head at her.

It means don't say it out loud.

"Hanabi-chan, this is what Uesugi-san wants to hear." Kitagawa Sakakisa glanced at Uesugi Kai sitting opposite her.

Hanabi Hanabi glanced at Kai Uesugi, then said softly:

"You can't say that..."

Kitagawa Sakakisa clearly only listens to Hanabi; since Hanabi wasn't willing, she stopped talking.

The other two also chose to remain silent.

Kai Uesugi, who was selecting food, looked up, her gaze shifting between the group, and asked suspiciously:

"What... exactly are you talking about?"

Rika chuckled lightly, "It's better for Uesugi-kun not to know."

"Yes, yes, curiosity killed the cat."

"Fine, I won't say then."

To be honest, Uesugi Kai was very curious about what they were talking about.

But they were unwilling to talk about it, and they said they had no other options.

The main problem is that fireworks don't want to...

Forget it.

I'll interrogate my wife properly when I get home tonight.

Putting everything else aside, I'm sure I can get the answer out of Hanabi what they were talking about that afternoon.

There's no rush.

With that thought in mind, Uesugi Kai ordered a steak from the waiter.

"Please wait a moment, guest."

Kitagawa Sakakisa, Hanamaru Hanabi, and the other girls continued chatting, mostly about art assignments. Uesugi Kai didn't understand much about it, so she didn't listen closely.

Kai Uesugi stood up.

"Hmm, where are you going, Uesugi-san? Aren't you going home with Hanabi-chan?" Kitagawa Sakakisa asked him.

Kai Uesugi casually pointed inside the restaurant: "Going to the restroom? Want to come together?"

"Huh? You actually invited another girl to go to the bathroom with you? Be careful, Hanabi-chan will give you a good scolding when you get home!"

"How could this be?"

Kai Uesugi smiled at Hanabi Hanabi's little face.

She wore a beret, a light blue dress, and shoulder-length short hair today, making her look especially cute.

My wife is such a cute and beautiful girl; just thinking about it makes me feel refreshed.

My wife is so beautiful.

Kai Uesugi asked the waiter for directions to the restroom.

The toilet is a human space, regardless of gender.

Uesugi Kai spent half a minute using the toilet, washing his hands, and then turned around to walk back to his original spot.

He turned around, released the door lock, and clicked open the door handle.

The door opened.

A beautiful girl stood in front of me.

Uesugi Kai paused for a second: "Hanabi, do you need to go to the toilet too?"

Hanabi Hanabi simply looked at him with her violet eyes and didn't say anything.

Just as Uesugi Kai was about to ask her why she wasn't answering, she suddenly walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.

Hanabi Hanabi stared at him, which made Kai Uesugi feel a little strange.

"Firework Sauce..."

Hanabi Hanamaru slowly approached until she stood in front of him.

She pressed herself very close, almost weighing down on him. She stood on tiptoe, raised her delicate chin, and whispered coldly in Uesugi Kai's ear:

"Kai-kun...you can only go to the toilet with Hanabi forever, only, and only with Hanabi."

Then, she gently bit his earlobe with her soft, sweet lips.

Kai Uesugi was completely stunned.

They stood there, stunned.

Fireworks... What's with that cold tone?

Kai Uesugi quickly steadied her shoulders and looked at her face.

"棣...棣君...?"

Hanabi Hanamaru's voice was weak, and the expression on her face was also very touching.

Most importantly, her eyes held a hint of timidity, as if she might lower her head at the slightest carelessness.

Kai Uesugi looked her up and down again.

That's right!

It's the usual Hanamaru fireworks.

But Uesugi Kai sensed something was wrong and asked her, "Hanabi, what did you just say?"

Hanabi Hanabi said shyly, "Hanabi...I need to go to the toilet..."

Uesugi Kai thought she was perfectly normal now.

"Wait a minute, Hanabi-chan...your tone just now..."

“Tone…” Hanabi Hanabi looked up at him with her little face.

"His tone...is strange." That's all Uesugi Kai could say.

"Is Hanabi's tone... strange...?"

"No, not now, but just now, when you were standing on tiptoe."

"But...that's how Hanabi has always spoken to Kai-kun..."

Uesugi Kai asked, "Nothing has changed?"

"No," Hanabi Hanamaru shook her head.

Kai Uesugi frowned subconsciously.

"Kai-kun, what's wrong?" Hanabi Hanamaru noticed his expression and asked.

"No, it's nothing."

Kai Uesugi looked at the timid girl in front of him, still not understanding what was going on.

Fireworks... why did you use such a cold tone...?

He smiled:

"It's nothing, Hanabi needs to use the restroom first."

Hanabi Hanamaru watched as Kai Uesugi opened the door and went out.

A hint of doubt flickered in her eyes as she looked at his retreating figure.

"Kai-kun...?"

......

When Uesugi Kai returned to his seat, the steak he ordered was already on the table.

He ate while he thought.

He silently repeated in his mind the tone of Hanabi Hanabi's voice and the words she had just spoken.

Kai-kun... you'll always have to go to the toilet with Hanabi.

That tone... it was like he had become a completely different person.

Kai Uesugi was certain that Hanabi Hanabu would never say something in that tone.

The harshest thing she ever said was calling herself a big bad guy.

However, Uesugi Kai felt a strange sense of familiarity with that tone, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Where is it...?

“Uesugi-san!” Kitagawa Sakaki tapped on the table in front of him.

"What's wrong?" Uesugi Kai asked, snapping out of her daze.

Kitagawa Sakaki pointed to the waitress standing by the table, "She's asking you if you want a drink. She can get you one, but you haven't responded for a long time."

"Oh, I see," Uesugi Kai looked up and smiled at the waitress. "Then a Coke, please."

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir."

The waitress was a young girl, probably a high school student, with a rather youthful face.

She had been staring at Kai Uesugi for a while, and blushed slightly.

After the waiter left, Kitagawa Sakakisa kept glancing at Uesugi Kai's face.

Uesugi Kai: "What is it now, young lady? Is there a bug on my face?"

Kitagawa Sakaki touched her chin. "I said, are you really that handsome? Why do so many girls seem to want to curry favor with you when they see you?"

"Isn't this normal service at a family restaurant? Don't overthink it."

"It's not that I'm overthinking it, but I didn't see her pour me a Coke or anything. She was staring at you the whole time. Hanabi is going to be here, she's definitely going to be jealous."
