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

Points cannot be obtained through ordinary observation.

My own cheat code is pretty useless.

"Need money to work?" Sugita Sohei looked surprised.

"..."

Uesugi Kai felt inexplicably looked down upon. Although he was indeed a bit lazy and broke, did it have to warrant this expression?

“Since we’re short of money, we should definitely participate in the district competition,” Sugita Sohei said.

"There's a bonus?" Uesugi Kai understood his meaning.

"First place, 500 million yen."

"so much!?"

"Of course, this is a team competition with 5 participants."

“100 million yen is also very good.” Uesugi Kai seemed quite satisfied.

"Uesugi, you've agreed to participate?" He still looked bewildered.

"That's it."

"..."

Sugita Sohei never expected that just 100 million yen would completely change his mind.

Logically speaking, students who can attend Kanzaki-Eshito High School, a private high school, should come from families with a certain level of financial resources.

Was Uesugi actually a special student from a poor family?

No, not at all.

He spends his days leisurely slacking off, and it's obvious he has no burden at all.

Kai Uesugi's true thought is—it's so great not having to work at the convenience store.

I've been spending too much money lately, and I still have to support my little one myself. How can I manage without money? And a man can't just say no.

"Wait, a five-person tournament? Which five people are participating?" Uesugi Kai suddenly asked, as if something had occurred to him.

Sugita Sohei: "Me, you, Aoyu Masaya, Hirata Masanobu, and Sugai Hideyoshi."

Who was the last person?

"He is a third-year member of the archery club. He has been preparing for the Tokyo Metropolitan University competition and has not had time to participate in archery club activities. We specially invited him to participate in the competition this time."

"Is it impressive?"

"Hmm..." Sugita Sohei rubbed his chin, as if recalling something, "He's probably a little worse than you. He hasn't practiced archery in a long time, so his skill level must have declined."

"alright."

Uesugi Kai accepted this sudden appearance of a newcomer. As for the rules of the game, he would deal with that later; he just needed to try his best to shoot accurately.

So he decided to try harder to shoot more arrows today.

46. ​​Before even reaching 50 arrows, Uesugi Kai finished her club activities for the day.

After the monthly test, he proved his abilities, and the first cohort of students in the study group graduated.

As Haneda-sensei's guinea pig, the experience was quite good.

I don't know why Takahiro Tsubokawa and Iwakatsu Goto were crying and howling when they were chosen.

As the second batch of trainees, they should be happy.

This is instruction and tutoring from a beautiful and talented female teacher from Southeast University; there's no reason not to enjoy it.

As the sun sets and a gentle breeze wafts in, Uesugi Kai, bored after a leisurely stroll around the campus, decides to head to the library to read.

He ordered a coffee, leaned against the window, and amidst the rich aroma, picked up a book he had randomly picked up in the history section and started reading.

He saw a very interesting raw wheat incident.

The gist of it is that four Englishmen encountered the famous guard of honor.

The commoners were required to kneel before the guard of honor, but the British refused, and then their horses suddenly spooked and charged into the guard of honor.

The conflict then broke out.

The guard of honor killed the horse and then charged at the Englishman, resulting in one death and two serious injuries.

The killing of its citizens naturally enraged Great Britain, which demanded reparations and explanations. This eventually escalated into the Anglo-Saudi War, in which Kagoshima was bombarded, causing a series of even greater consequences.

That's how the events were recorded, but as to whose fault it was, there's never been a definitive conclusion.

I learned a little bit of history.

Take a sip of hot coffee, feel the bitterness swirling on your tongue, and enjoy the soothing sound of the setting sun shining through the window.

Leisurely and comfortable.

This is probably what they call everyday life.

Fifteen or sixteen minutes later, the coffee in the cup gradually disappeared, and Uesugi Kai received a LINE message from Hanabi Hanamaru.

"Kai-kun, today's club activity is over. Shall we go to the supermarket together?"

Fingers tap the screen rapidly.

"How about we have dinner with your aunt today?"

"But... didn't Kai-kun say he'd always wanted to eat a meal cooked by Hanabi...?"

How should I reply?

Is it because I don't have money and can't afford groceries that I can go back?

Picking up his coffee cup, Uesugi Kai drank the last bit of money from his savings.

###Chapter 104 Is it really that itchy?###

When a person is down on their luck, everything they do goes wrong.

Xiaohua paid for the tram tickets home.

"Kai-kun... is it because you're short of money?" After hesitating for a long time, Hanabi Hanamaru still carefully asked this question.

The swaying tram had only a few people on it, and the bright lights shining on their faces made them look listless.

After drinking a cup of coffee, Uesugi Kai was quite energetic, though her tone was helpless: "I'm not making ends meet, so I didn't dare to suggest increasing my allowance."

In the past two weeks, he has come to realize one thing: shopping really costs money.

Especially when Little Fireworks sees food, her longing look is irresistible.

“Kai-kun can use Hanabi’s money,” Hanabi Hanamaru said, as he always stopped her from paying.

Kai Uesugi didn't want to use her money, even though she had a lot.

But there was one thing he was very curious about.

"Hanabi, how much pocket money do you have now?"

Kai Uesugi knew his father-in-law was very wealthy and generous with his daughter's allowance, so he was prepared for the outcome.

Hanabi Hanabi tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "I think it's around 500 million yen..."

"Fireworks!" Uesugi Kai suddenly called out.

"Kai-kun, what's wrong?" Hanabi Hanamaru noticed his earnest gaze.

"Why don't you take care of me?" Only Uesugi could say something so shameless.

"Okay."

Her agreement was so decisive that Uesugi Kai instinctively asked, "Really?"

“Really,” Hanabi Hanabi nodded with a smile, holding the blue shoulder bag on her lap with both hands, “Hanabi will work hard to draw and earn a lot of money.”

Uesugi Kai gazed at her lovely face, shook his head, and changed the subject: "I'm going to participate in a competition."

For him, the word "competition" is completely irrelevant.

In the past, I always avoided competitions, sports meets, and events whenever possible.

If participation is mandatory, choose the simplest option.

Therefore, the sports festival is the event that Uesugi has hated the most since he was a child.

"Is it a kyudo competition?" Hanabi blinked, looking at the black bow case beside him. "Actually, Hanabi has never seen Kai-kun shoot an arrow before..."

"Next stop, Iidabashi Station, next stop, Iidabashi Station."

As the tram started moving, a gentle breeze swept through, and due to inertia, she leaned closer to Kai Uesugi.

Kai Uesugi instinctively grabbed her slender arm, smiled, and asked, "Want to come and see?"

"Ah."

Her little face showed an expression of anticipation.

------

Because he was very poor, Uesugi Kai decided to go to Hanamaru's house for a free meal, as was his custom.

However, he had to go home before he could freeload a meal.

Opening the glass door to the living room, glancing up at the hazy, yellowish clouds, Uesugi Kai opened his backpack and took out a small item.

An umbrella that rains as soon as you open it.

【How to use: Take it out and use it】

[Brief description: One of the strange umbrellas, a Doraemon gadget that was stolen.]

According to the description, this was stolen from Doraemon.

Could we steal a time machine?

Shaking his head slightly, Uesugi Kai abandoned this unrealistic idea.

Compared to myself, this system is even more lazy.
