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

Hanabi Hanabi stared at his face, suddenly froze for a moment, and then her face turned red again.

Uesugi Kai asked her, "What's wrong?"

Hanabi Hanabi's voice was tinged with shyness as she fidgeted with her hands on her skirt: "Kai-kun... that's what you said to Hanabi when we were being lewd last time... and Hanabi was heartbroken for a long time..."

"Last time...?"

Uesugi Kai paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "I remember now, does Hanabi-chan still want to be touched? Actually, it still hurts, so she needs to be rubbed by Hanabi-chan's soft little hands like last time."

"Ugh...you're lying...this morning at the hotel with Kai-kun...Kai-kun...he was perfectly fine." Hanabi Hanamaru lowered her head, as if talking to herself.

"Isn't it very strong?"

"Hate!"

"Alright, alright, enough joking around. Hanabi-chan, tell me, what's wrong with the other Hanabi-chan?"

"Kai-kun is a scumbag."

"Huh? Where am I a jerk?"

"Kai-kun doesn't want fireworks, he's abandoned them."

"...? No, I've always loved Hanabi-chan."

"Anyway, that's all Hanabi knows."

"Let me guess—is it... that Kai-kun abandoned Hanabi-chan?"

Hanabi Hanabi nodded in his arms.

"I see... Is that Kai-kun me?"

Hanamaru Hanabi shook her head.

"No?" Uesugi Kai asked.

"I don't know..." Hanabi Hanamaru said.

"do not know?"

“Yes,” Hanabi Hanabi said. “The Kai-kun in my dream abandoned Hanabi after getting married.”

How could you bear to abandon such a lovely wife?

Aren't you afraid of being hacked to death by single men?

"...Why did he do that?"

Hanabi Hanabi whispered with her head down, "That Kai-kun said... he doesn't like Hanabi anymore. He feels that being with Hanabi for so long has become meaningless. He said he doesn't like how Hanabi always acts so weak in front of him, and that she's just pretending to be pitiful..."

At that moment, Hanabi Hanabi suddenly looked up and asked him, "Kai-kun, Kai-kun would never do that, right?"

"What if...? Would Hana-chan still be willing to stay with me?"

"I'm willing...I'm willing...Hanabi only has Kai-kun...only Kai-kun..."

"Knowing that I will abandon you in the future?" Uesugi Kai asked.

"Hmm... Aside from Kai-kun's place... Hanabi has nowhere else to go... What if Kai-kun doesn't want Hanabi anymore..."

Hanabi Hanamaru's voice grew softer and softer.

“Alright,” Uesugi Kai interrupted her, “now I understand how the other Hanabi-chan feels…”

"Does Kai-kun understand?"

"Yes, don't worry, I won't leave."

“Kai-kun, another Kai-kun said the same thing to another Hanabi.”

"..."

--------

Kai Uesugi roughly understood what the yandere Hanabi was all about.

There was a Kai-kun who abandoned his Hanabi, and Hanabi missed Kai-kun so much that she developed a yandere personality, wanting to control Kai-kun in everything.

Of course, this yandere Hanabi could also be a hypothetical scenario that Hanabi-chan dreamt about.

A dream caused the real Hanamaru Hanabi to develop symptoms such as schizophrenia.

but,

Whether it's fireworks from a parallel world or fireworks from a dream, it's too early to say for sure.

Now, however, the yandere Hanabi seeks love from him, and seeks an even deeper love.

Kai Uesugi felt innocent. Why should he have to make up for the love that the yandere Hanabi lacked, on behalf of a fictitious "self"?

In short, what he needs to do now is to treat the yandere Hanabi and Hanabi as the same person and give them the same love.

But what kind of thing is this?

My perfectly good wife suddenly split into two?

......

We had dinner together on the beach in the evening.

Taking the opportunity, Uesugi Kai asked Hanabi Hanamaru, "You don't hate me, do you?"

Currently, the yandere Hanabi is the dominant personality.

"How could that be? Hanabi loves Kai-kun the most."

"..."

"Kai-kun doesn't believe me?"

"After all, you described me as someone who hated me so much."

"Hanabi hates another Kai-kun, but the current Kai-kun, or the Kai-kun before he turned bad, is still the Kai-kun who is especially good to Hanabi. Therefore, he is the Kai-kun that Hanabi likes the most."

Hanabi Hanabi winked at him.

"Kai-kun, would you like to test this with some fireworks?"

"Verification? How do you want to verify?"

Hanabi Hanabi smiled faintly and took his hand, "Kai-kun, come with Hanabi."

With the moon shining brightly and the stars few, the grilled fish feast by the sea was especially lively.

Hanabi Hanabi pulled Kai Uesugi away from the crowd and to a shady spot on a seaside rock.

Facing the sea, there was a faint glimmer of light, yet it was completely out of sight of the people dining there.

Hanabi Hanabi squatted down in front of him.

The bright moonlight, coupled with the continuous sound of the waves, highlighted the girl's delicate features.

"Wait a minute, is this what Hanabi-chan meant by liking?"

"Doesn't this show just how much Hanabi likes Kai-kun?"

"Isn't liking someone the sublimation of mutual affection through spending time together every day?" Uesugi Kai asked rhetorically.

"Isn't this part of getting along?" Hanabi asked cutely, her little hands a little cold, as the waves splashed on the rocky beach.

Kai Uesugi subconsciously gasped.

"I think we should stop—"

"Kai-kun, be honest."

“Be even more honest,” Hanabi Hanabi continued, smiling at him. Her beautiful face was exquisitely outlined by the moonlight.

"Kai-kun?"

"Need not..."

Kai Uesugi chose to close her eyes, listen carefully, and feel the cool sound of the waves crashing against the rocks.

###Chapter 402 The Non-Existent Kai-kun###

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

The seawater washed over the rocky beach, and the tiny pebbles sparkled like silver stars under the moonlight.

Looking out, you can hear the sound of the waves and see the churning seawater that looks like it's been sprinkled with a layer of white salt.

Uesugi stared at the coastline for a while, and felt his heart calm down along with the tranquil night.

Is this a bad idea?

Hanabi Hanabi stood up, offering only a slight smile as he gazed into her eyes. Upon hearing his words, she gave a soft hum and said in a sweet, coquettish voice:

"man."

"Hanabi even started to believe that you would leave another version of me someday."

Uesugi paused for a second, then asked her, "Could you tell me about the other guy?"

"Kimi, do you want to learn from him? Hanabi won't mention any information about him, neither to Hanabi nor to the other Hanabi."

"From now on, you and Hanabi will be sharing the same body?"

"Kimi, I've said it so many times, I am her, and she is me." Hanabi Hanabi pressed herself against his chest, looked up at his face, and reached out to pinch his nose. "Also, are you asking this question because you dislike Hanabi's personality?"

Chest to chest, with almost no gap, Uesugi could clearly smell the sweet scent of lilies on her body.

Hanabi Hanabi continued, "Does Kimi also think that after marrying Hanabi and getting everything, he can just throw her away?"

"No, my lord, this can't be!"

"Hanabi will hold onto you like this... firmly, both for Hanabi and for the other me."

By the end, her expression had taken on a hint of yandere charm, and Uesugi noticed that her violet eyes, which were fixed on him, were filled with a serious expression.

......

The barbecue party on the beach was quite lively.

Kitagawa Yusa treated this matchmaking event like a vacation, rejecting all the boys who approached her.
