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

"Why do you say that?"

"Because boys should be more straightforward. For example, if Hanabi wants to touch Kai, he should act like Kai doesn't care at all and pull Hanabi, who is still touching Kai, into his arms."

As Hanabi Hanabi spoke, she placed the index finger that had just touched his chest above his soft lips.

I took a small sip.

“Kai-kun is hungry, so it’s only right that Hanabi cooks for him. However, Hanabi wants a little reward.”

"award?"

"Yeah, rewards. Without rewards, Hanabi feels really unmotivated." Hanamaru Hanabi lowered her head, her hands clasped together in front of her skirt. "The food I make without motivation... won't taste as good, you know."

After saying that, she immediately looked up at him and gave him a sweet smile.

this...

Kai Uesugi quickly put on the white shirt that was placed to the side, in order to prevent her from taking the opportunity to touch him again.

"Why are you in such a panic, Kai-kun?"

Uesugi Kai quickly interrupted, "What do you mean by 'reward'?"

Hanabi Hanabi took his hand, cupped it in both, and looked at him, saying, "Milk, is that okay?"

"Fireworks...be serious..."

"Oh, what a pity. Hanabi only needed Kai-kun to hug her."

"Is a hug enough?"

"Yeah, give each other a hug."

This requirement is indeed not difficult.

Kai Uesugi hugged her, feeling the familiar warmth emanating from her.

"Alright! I'm more motivated now. Kai-kun, just a moment, dinner will be ready soon."

Watching her walk towards the kitchen, Uesugi Kai knew that she had just had the same feeling she had when interacting with ordinary fireworks.

Hanabi... she just sometimes has different personality traits. She's still herself, the same person, and her love is still the same, just expressed in different ways. Just accept it, that's all.

Hanamaru Hanabi didn't keep him waiting long. Half an hour later, she had prepared five side dishes and a pot of chicken soup.

The aroma of dinner filled the dining table.

Fortunately, Hei Huahuo didn't lose her cooking skills; every dish was delicious.

Uesugi Kai soaked rice in the soup and ate it along with the stir-fried pork. Her mouth, throat, and stomach were all warmed by the dish made by the girl.

"Tomorrow, Dr. Nakamura wants us to go again..."

When Uesugi Kai looked up, she noticed that her complexion had suddenly turned sour.

"Kai-kun, didn't Hanabi say she hates psychologists the most? Hanabi isn't sick, she isn't."

He didn't know why Hanabi Hanabi was so resistant, but in order not to upset her, he could only take back his words and remain silent.

When Hanabi Hanamaru saw that he no longer mentioned the matter, her delicate face immediately turned into a smile:

"Kai-kun, eat quickly. Hanabi will prepare your bathwater later."

Her care remained meticulous.

She was even so thoughtful as to ask him if he wanted her to take off her stockings.

She wanted to take a shower, but Uesugi Kai, afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself, didn't agree.

"Kai-kun, you can peek."

Hanabi Hanabi smiled at him, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, from the bathroom doorway with a towel in hand, and then closed the door.

Seeing the figures faintly visible through the glass wall, Uesugi Kai began to regret having built a bathroom next to the bedroom.

Unsurprisingly.

After taking a bath, Hanabi Hanamaru showed a high degree of dependence on him, constantly touching and groping him in bed.

"Does Kai-kun want a massage?" the girl asked cutely.

“…” Uesugi Kai remained silent.

"That means you need a massage."

It's the same wife, it's the same wife...

Just as Uesugi Kai had mentally reassured himself, closed his eyes, and prepared for a series of premonitions.

"Okay, let's go to sleep."

""

"Hanabi-chan, you..."

Hanabi Hanamaru grabbed a wet wipe from the bedside table, rubbed her hands clean, and threw it in the trash can. She propped herself up on one hand and let out a hazy yawn.

"Ah... Kai-kun... Hanabi is sleepy, goodnight."

After saying that, he fell asleep.

Uesugi Kai confirmed that she was indeed asleep.

But she's asleep, what should I do?

Kai Uesugi closed his eyes, trying his best not to think about those messy things.

Emptiness is form, form is emptiness, form is emptiness, emptiness is form.

No.

I can't sleep at all!

He suddenly opened his eyes, lifted half of the blanket, glanced at the sleeping face of the girl beside him illuminated by the moonlight, sighed, and walked helplessly toward the bathroom.

......

After the sound of the toilet flushing, a slightly tired Uesugi Kai turned off the light and walked out of the bathroom.

He looked at the girl sleeping on the big bed and wondered, "Could she be doing this on purpose?"

Intentional, intentional... What good does it do to dwell on these things?

Kai Uesugi worked out all day and was so tired that she threw off the covers and fell asleep immediately.

Never mind, I'll think about it tomorrow.

......

A place I don't know how to describe.

"Hanabi... how should I address you?"

Hanabi Hanabi, her eyes sparkling, was looking at the smiling Hanabi in front of her, whose face was exactly the same as hers.

###Chapter 415 The Promise of Departure###

"Me? It doesn't matter what you call me." [Hanamaru Hanabi] circled around the girl, her right arm around her waist, and her left hand reaching out from behind to support her chin. "Hanabi-chan, just know that we are the same person."

"Did you hear what I said this morning, Hanabi-chan?"

"Um...I know..." Hanabi Hanabi responded softly.

【Hanamaru Hanabi】 whispered in her ear: "So... it was inevitable that I appeared. It's to make Kai-kun like Hanabi better. From now on, Hanabi-chan, you'll have to cooperate with me more. Things like cooking and folding clothes will be your responsibility."

"Then... you can't bully Kai-kun either..."

[Hana-maru Hanabi] released her and chuckled: "Bullying? Do you mean what happened last night? Hanabi-chan, you don't understand. Men are meant to keep you in suspense. If you give him everything, he might just throw you away like a used toy."

"Kai-kun...wouldn't do that..."

“I know he won’t do that, but what if? What if he gets a little tired of you? You know, cracks start to accumulate and grow bigger from small things, Hanabi-chan. I have no intention of harming you. This is all to make Kai-kun like you even more.”

......

"Married? Married people will find things even less interesting. Who would cherish something they can easily come across as a treasure?"

"I know that Hanabi-chan regards her wedding as the most precious and important moment, but some people may not think so. They may just think that it is just a woman getting married. What is the point of getting married?"

"Don't forget how those people bullied you before."

"Wouldn't Kai-kun do that? Actually... Hanabi-chan is also worried that he'll become like that, right? After all, we both know about the other Kai-kun."

"..."

"Haha... Just as I expected, that's the expression and those actions... Hanabi-chan, we're the same person, how could I not understand you...?"

--------

I got up this morning.

Kai Uesugi noticed that Hanabi Hanabi's style of dress had changed. Yesterday, she wore a black sailor uniform and black stockings, but now she wore an elegant white dress and white pantyhose.

"Kai-kun..."

Hearing that sweet, soft voice, Uesugi Kai's mood instantly brightened, and he immediately hugged her.

"Hana-chan, you're finally awake."

"Hana-chan, why are you sleeping for so long?"

Are you sick? Or feeling unwell? Would you like me to massage your shoulders?

Hanabi struggled in his arms while softly calling his name, which finally made Kai Uesugi release her, revealing her intoxicatingly flushed face.

There was a long silence.

"Kai-kun...do you feel like you've lost your feeling for fireworks...?"

Uesugi Kai was stunned. "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

Hanabi Hanamaru remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Marriage...of course it's wonderful...but Kai-kun seems to have lost that careful, tender feeling he used to have when holding Hanabi's hand, that romantic atmosphere..."

"Hanabi, do you want to go on a date with me? No problem! I'll go with you." Uesugi Kai didn't understand what was going on.

Hanabi Hanamaru shook her head, looking absent-minded.
