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

"Kai-kun, you're really good at fireworks."

At this moment, her violet eyes looked slightly different from usual.

Kai Uesugi also knew that this was another fireworks display.

Hanabi Hanamaru's eyes are purple and sparkling.

The other Hanabi's eyes were dimmer, just like when Hanabi was sad.

—Uesugi Kai is still unsure about his feelings for Hanabi.

To say that I have no pity for her would be a lie.

After all, she was Hanamaru Hanabi before, and she was also Hanabi-chan, that kind girl.

But Uesugi Kai could never say something like "You are all my wings".

She kissed him forcefully.

Strictly speaking, this is also a betrayal of Hanabi-chan.

Uesugi Kai felt awkward, but for some reason... Hanabi Hanabi wasn't jealous. Didn't she mind?

You wouldn't mind her other personality?

Or, as Yandere Hanabi said, they are actually the same person.

Or perhaps... she didn't actually know?

......

"Excuse me! Are you Uesugi-kun?"

Hearing the question, Uesugi Kai snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the somewhat apologetic young woman in front of her.

Hanabi Hanabi's gaze towards Kai Uesugi returned to normal.

“It’s me,” Uesugi Kai replied.

"My name is Rikako Kohashi... I just called this morning..."

Without her prompting, Uesugi Kai already roughly knew that this was the owner of the lost wallet.

He handed the lost item back to Rikako Kohashi, which he had prepared in advance, and she quickly expressed her gratitude.

Kai Uesugi could tell that she was a young woman who wasn't very good at socializing, so he didn't intend to say anything more, lest she end up feeling burdened.

"This is so kind... Thank you, Uesugi-san, thank you so much," Rimi Kohashi clutched the wallet to her chest. "The money in here is so important to me. I really don't know how I would have survived this past month if Uesugi-san hadn't found it..."

"fine."

"How...should I thank Uesugi-san?"

Kai Uesugi immediately declined, saying, "No need, it's just a small favor."

"I know this may be abrupt, but I think expressing my gratitude is essential..."

"Really, you don't need to."

Kai Uesugi glanced at Hanabi Hanabu, who was sitting on a small stool on the other side, and found her smiling gently at him.

This smile... even he couldn't tell which firework was smiling at him.

It shouldn't be that bad... I only exchanged a few words with other girls.

Rimi Kohashi was also conflicted at this moment. On the one hand, she was a little nervous in front of Kai Uesugi, and on the other hand, she didn't know how to express her gratitude.

Should I ask you for coffee? Or should I bring a gift?

If she were to ask him for coffee... he would most likely refuse, which she had already anticipated.

That leaves only sending a gift as an option, and if possible... we should be able to get their contact information.

Fortunately, we were prepared in advance.

Recalling these memories, Rikako Kohashi forcefully placed an exquisite box into Kai Uesugi's hands, then quickly bowed and said thank you.

Kai Uesugi never expected this girl to be so enthusiastic. He had only found a wallet, yet she wanted to give him gifts.

However, you absolutely must not accept this gift, because—

Just as Uesugi Kai was about to decline, Kohashi Rika turned and left. As she walked away, she turned back to bow to him again and say thank you.

this......

As Uesugi Kai held the gift box in his hand, he suddenly felt as if the small gift was burning hot in his hand.

He inexplicably received a gift from another girl... What if Black Flower Fire finds out...?

"Kai-kun".

Suddenly, a cheerful shout came from behind.

Uesugi Kai turned around and saw the incredibly cute and gentle-looking Hanabi Hanabi smiling at him. She asked in her usual sweet and soft voice:

"Kai-kun, are you planning to accept her gift?"

“No, of course not,” Uesugi Kai replied immediately. “I just helped her pick up a wallet; why would I ask for her gift?”

"Kai-kun, you can't accept this~ Hanabi will get jealous."

"Aren't you sleeping? Hanabi said you've been sleeping for the past few days."

"Kai-kun, what do you mean by asking this? Are you planning to secretly contact Hanabi while she's asleep? You can't do that."

"This...of course I know."

"Then, Kai-kun, hand over the gift you just received."

"What are you going to do with the fireworks...?"

"Of course we'll throw it into the sea! Kai-kun doesn't think Hanabi would happily keep it as a keepsake, does he?"

"...I think it's better to return it."

"How can that be? If Kai-kun returns it, won't he have to meet that girl again?"

"You're going to give Hanabi-chan back? I'm not going to see her." Uesugi Kai was a little stumped.

"Alright, Kai-kun, bring it here."

Kai Uesugi had no choice but to hand her the gift he had just received. Unexpectedly, Hanamaru Hanabi turned around and threw it directly into the sea.

“Hanabi, you…” Uesugi Kai stood on the shore, looking at the small gift box that was drifting alone on the sea, and felt a sense of helplessness.

"Won't Kai-kun get angry about this because of the fireworks?"

"...No, it's already thrown away, what else can happen..." Uesugi Kai was certain that Kurohanabi was absolutely not someone who could be jealous in the slightest.

He just hoped the girl wouldn't see the gift that was thrown away, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

"That's good, Kai-kun... Hanabi will always love you... and won't let any other girl get close to you..."

After saying this, [Hana-maru Hanabi] yawned, lowered her face, and closed her eyes.

After sitting quietly for a while... she returned to her normal self.

"Why is Kai-kun standing here...?"

"nothing."

Kai Uesugi sat back down on the small stool and began to ponder.

Kurohanabi's mental state has been somewhat unstable lately... I wonder if something is wrong.

Furthermore, Hanabi seems to have lost all memory of the time when Kuro Hanabi was using her body.

It has always existed.

What happened during the time they both loved to sleep?

To be honest... Uesugi Kai felt that he didn't have any conflict with the yandere Hanabi; it was just that Hanabi loved him too much, to the point of being pathological.

You must eat the food she cooks, sleep with her, and not talk too much with other girls.

However, there's one thing: she's always wanted to have a baby with him, but Uesugi Kai has never agreed.

Sigh, how should I deal with my feelings for Kurohanabi?

Uesugi Kai gazed at the sea, lost in thought for a moment.

"Kai-kun..."

"Are you alright? Hurry up and eat your fish. I'll catch another one for you later."

"it is good."

......

The small gift box tumbled and rolled in the white waves, following the tide, wave after wave, towards the shore.

It stopped on the rocky beach.

As time passed, figures appeared scattered across the rocky beach.

It wasn't until evening that it was picked up by a pair of hands.

Afterwards, the person who picked up the small gift box seemed to freeze in place.

......

night.

After a day of fishing, Uesugi Kai is preparing to take a bath in the bathroom.

After taking off her clothes and immersing her entire body in the steaming hot water, Uesugi Kai couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

He planned to take a short nap to relax.

The glass in the bathroom cubicle is transparent, but the surface has a frosted effect, so you can only see a blurry figure inside and can't see any real details.

Just as Uesugi Kai was clearing her mind and enjoying a relaxing bath,

Hanabi Hanamaru suddenly opened the bathroom door and walked in.

Kai Uesugi lazily opened his eyes and glanced at it, almost staring at it so hard he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Fireworks, you must—"
