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

"Then I'll... go get some from the fridge to drink."

"Okay." Hanabi Hanabi moved her head in his arms, her cheeks flushed.

"..."

That's what they said, but neither of them made the first move.

The girl's small hands gripped his even tighter.

"Firework Sauce".

"Mmm..." The girl's voice was filled with shyness and endless tenderness.

"I'm going to...get some drinks."

"Okay..." She nestled sweetly against his chest, still not showing any intention of separating.

A girl's cuteness is both a pleasure and an inner struggle that is difficult to choose.

It took Uesugi Kai a long time to adjust before he could barely push her soft body off him. Even when they separated, he could still feel the heat of her pillow on his chest and smell her girlish fragrance.

"Kai-kun...come back soon..."

"it is good."

Uesugi Kai glanced at the girl sitting on the big bed rubbing her eyes, got off the bed and went to the bedroom door. Then he looked back at her again. After seeing her give him a silly smile, Uesugi Kai pushed open the door and walked out of the bedroom.

I came to the living room wearing slippers.

The air conditioner in the living room was off, and as soon as I stepped out of the bedroom, I could feel a gust of cold air seeping into my clothes.

The window doesn't seem to be closed properly.

The cold seeped in between her skin and clothes, eroding her warmth and causing Uesugi Kai to hug her arms and shiver.

The wind and rain blew outside the window, and the neon lights between the high-rise buildings in Tokyo faded in the rainy night.

The rain in the darkness intensified the cold of the weather.

Despite the cold, Uesugi Kai hurried to the refrigerator in the open kitchen of the living room, his only thought being to grab the drinks and go back as soon as possible.

He opened the refrigerator's crisper drawer, hesitating between cola, milk, and beer.

Should I get a Coke, milk, or beer?

Beer... Hanabi-chan doesn't seem to like drinking this.

She likes milk, but drinking milk so late at night... doesn't seem like a good idea.

—Kai Uesugi doesn't know why it's bad.

His gaze seemed to automatically ignore the milk, lingering between the cola and the beer.

Cola?

beer?

A cold draft leaked out from the cracks in the window that wasn't closed properly, and blew onto Uesugi Kai.

He immediately felt goosebumps rise on his skin, and thinking he had to hurry, he subconsciously reached for the beer can.

beer...?

Will you drink Hanabi Sauce?

Uesugi Kai examined it carefully.

No, this cannot be called beer; it should be called fruit wine.

Fruit wine should have a lower alcohol content than beer, so it should be considered a beverage.

Prolonged exposure to the cold air caused Uesugi Kai to move around and start stomping his feet slightly. Remembering that fruit wine is a fruit-flavored beverage, he quickly grabbed a bag from the side and randomly grabbed seven or eight bottles of beer from the refrigerator and put them into the plastic bag.

Then he quickly ran back to his bedroom.

With a cracking sound.

As soon as the door closed, the bedroom's air conditioning and heating enveloped her, and the air was faintly filled with the girl's room's fragrance. These comforting things instantly made Uesugi Kai relax a lot.

The chill began to dissipate.

"Kai-kun, come in quickly." Hanabi Hanamaru said, one hand tucked between her fair thighs. "Is it cold outside?"

"It's raining, a little."

Uesugi Kai quickly pulled over a small high table, placed the plastic bag on it, and then took out the jars of fruit wine one by one.

"Kai-kun...you're holding...a beer?"

Kai Uesugi stopped what he was doing: "Don't you like it? I'll go out and get you another jar of fruit wine."

"No," Hanabi Hanabi pulled him back, "No need, let's just drink this... Fruit wine is supposed to be a beverage."

"Well."

Hanabi was wearing loose-fitting super short shorts that she would only wear at home, with four-fifths of her legs exposed. Her thighs, knees, calves, ankles, and feet were all exposed. Her beautiful legs had smooth and delicate curves, and her skin was fair with a rosy tint. Only the fabric that extended slightly from her buttocks covered some of the key areas.

Kai Uesugi sat on the bed and snuggled up next to her.

It must be a man's nature to keep glancing at her legs, imagining how smooth and soft they would feel when he touched them.

"Kai-kun, are you a little cold?" She noticed that his body was trembling slightly.

"It's alright, you'll be fine after staying here for a while."

The air was quiet for a short while.

"How about Kai-kun, you stay here with Hanabi tonight..." Hanabi's eyes darted around, looking at him somewhat shyly. She even clasped one of her toes with her small hand, making some meaningless but shy and bashful gestures full of girlish charm.

Uesugi Kai thought it was just her normal shyness and didn't understand the underlying meaning in her words: "But we're still in a dating game, right? The level of affection hasn't reached a certain point... so we can't be this intimate."

He took a glass of orange-flavored fruit wine, unzipped it, and handed it to Hanabi-chan.

Hanabi Hanabi didn't refuse, taking the can with one hand. "Today... is a special case... It's so cold outside, it wouldn't be good if Kai-kun caught a cold..."

The girl's voice grew softer and softer until finally, she was so shy that she could only utter a short syllable.

You can turn on the air conditioner outside the living room, and as long as the windows are closed, it's not actually that cold.

But given the current atmosphere, the shy words a girl would utter... saying something like "I have absolutely no problem sleeping outside," would just be considered incredibly dense and clueless.

Kai Uesugi was also reluctant to leave the girl's side; he was still thinking about that tender hug from earlier.

He opened a can of fruit wine for himself, looked at Hanabi and said, "Have a little first, and if it's not good, then stop. If you're thirsty, I'll go out and get you some water or milk."

Hanabi Hanabi glanced at the can in her hand and said, "Then... let's give it a try?"

"Give it a try."

Kai Uesugi watched as she pressed her moist lips to the mouth of the soda can and gently took a small sip.

"how do you feel?"

"It's like... orange juice, but also a bit different. It's not great, but it's acceptable."

"Is it drinkable?"

"Um..."

"That's good."

Uesugi Kai watched her, first taking small sips, then drinking small amounts, and then becoming more casual.

We talked about a few topics, but they were just everyday trifles and nothing important.

But Uesugi Kai clearly noticed that Hanabi's face had turned red, but not in the cute way she usually did.

Rather, it's the hazy, flushed look that comes from being drunk.

Just as Uesugi Kai was about to put down the empty can of food in her hand, it crashed to the floor outside the bed.

"Fireworks?"

Uesugi Kai's gaze shifted, and upon closer inspection, he saw a flushed-faced girl swaying precariously on a large bed.

"Kai-kun..."

Uesugi Kai quickly reached out to support her slender arm. "Are you drunk?"

"I don't think so... I just feel a little... dizzy..."

"So you're drunk. Let me help you take off your clothes and rest." Uesugi Kai felt something was wrong. No matter how bad your alcohol tolerance was, you shouldn't get drunk after just one can of fruit wine.

He picked up an unopened can of beer and looked at the alcohol content, then picked up a can of fruit wine and looked at the alcohol content as well.

Goodness, one is 6 degrees and the other is 14 degrees.

This fruit wine is even more potent than beer!

“Kai-kun…” Hanabi Hanamaru, her ears flushed, grabbed him.

"What's wrong?" Uesugi Kai sat down on the edge of the bed again, trying to support her.

"I want...I want...I want a hug," Hanabi Hanabi said, and kept trying to get into his arms.

She was drunk, so Uesugi Kai complied with her request, hugging her while patting her back and saying, "Okay, I want a hug, I want a hug."

The girl's face was flushed, and it seemed that being held wasn't enough; she kept snuggling into his arms.

Finally, she lay down on his lap, face up, and looked at him with a smile: "Kai-kun is so handsome~~"

"Okay, okay, Hanabi-chan, you should go to sleep now that you're drunk," Uesugi Kai tried his best to coax her.

"Kai-kun, do you think...fireworks...are pretty?"

"It's beautiful, absolutely beautiful."

As Uesugi Kai answered, he tried to help her get up and take off her clothes, but unexpectedly, she sat up and pressed her hands on Uesugi Kai's shoulders, pushing him directly onto the bed.

He hadn't expected that Hanabi-chan, such a delicate girl, would be so strong. Just as he was about to get up, a pair of small hands suddenly pressed down on his lower abdomen, rendering him unable to move.

"Kai-kun... if you think Hanabi is beautiful... then you should take good care of her..."

Before Uesugi Kai could react, a rosy and cute face was right above him.
