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

"..."

Hanabi Hanamaru stared blankly at the receding figure, her small hand holding the shoulder bag tightening its grip.

As expected, the girl followed shortly afterward.

"Kai-kun... is really bad..."

Kai Uesugi looked at her tightly pursed lips: "I didn't lie to Hanabi."

"Hanabi knows, Hanabi just feels that Kai-kun is lonely when he's alone."

"I feel very lonely without you by my side."

"Hanabi didn't want Kai to be alone either. Hanabi said she would always stay by Kai's side."

Kai Uesugi smiled at her: "So, you agree?"

"Um......"

Hanabi Hanabi brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "But Kai-kun can't touch Hanabi..."

"Want a hug?"

"Neither."

"Can't I even hug you?"

"No, Kai-kun... he always sneaks a touch on Hanabi's waist when she's not looking..."

Kai Uesugi decided to defend himself: "But, holding you and wrapping my arms around your waist is necessary."

Hanabi puffed out her cheeks and mumbled, "When Kai-kun hugs me, he keeps pinching me."

She immediately followed up with the previous sentence.

"She also likes to rub Hanabi's face..."

"Hanabi looks so cute when her face is being rubbed, I can't control myself."

"Fireworks aren't cute, Kai-kun can't keep kneading them."

"Not cute, but soft."

"Not soft..."

"It's not soft, but it's tender."

"Not tender..."

"She's cute even if she's not young."

"Do not......"

Hanabi Hanamaru realized she couldn't win an argument with him, so she could only mutter, "Kai-kun... he's really mean..."

Kai Uesugi took her small hand, gave her a natural smile, and said:

"It's because Kai-kun likes fireworks."

......

......

###Chapter 110 Today was just another ordinary day, no matter what.###

As May approaches June, the weather warms up and gets hotter.

After finishing lunch, Uesugi Kai lay back in his seat, enjoying the gentle breeze by the window, looking very relaxed and lazy.

Goto Iwakatsu and Tsubokawa Takahiro stood together by the window, gazing at the girls in short skirts below through the lush green canopy.

On this ordinary midday, Uesugi Kai took a peaceful nap while reminiscing about the comfort of leaning against Hanabi's lap pillow.

"Hey! Uesugi, Uesugi, come quick!" Not long after Xiao Mi fell asleep, Goto Iwakatsu suddenly came over and grabbed his arm.

"Huh... what are you looking at?" Uesugi Kai yawned with difficulty, rubbing his temples with his eyes closed. "You had to interrupt my nap."

"Come and see for yourself, you won't be disappointed," Goto Iwakatsu said with a smile.

Outside the window, there is a clear blue sky with a cool breeze blowing.

Takahiro Tsubokawa silently looked up at something, pushed up his glasses with his middle finger, and made an exclamation like "Oh ho".

Following their gaze, Uesugi Kai squinted her still-sleepy eyes and saw clearly what Goto meant by not being disappointed.

Upstairs, two high school girls were enjoying the cool breeze and chatting with each other.

She has a pure and innocent appearance and fair skin.

Their red scarves fluttered in the wind, and their black sailor uniforms swayed gently.

Two white bellies and a lace-trimmed bra flared outwards, completely exposed, guided by the wind.

"Thank you, Wind God," Tsubokawa Takahiro exclaimed without blinking, then made the sign of the cross in front of him.

Goto Iwakatsu relaxed his brow and said, "92, 74."

The devout Tsubokawa Takahiro glanced at him: "Which one do you like?"

Goto: "74."

Tsubokawa: "Yes, we're kindred spirits."

Kai Uesugi wasn't interested and sat back down in his window seat.

After a long while, the two students who were discussing elementary school math problems returned to their original positions.

"Uesugi, you've changed."

"Yeah, I've changed. I've become more handsome." Uesugi Kai couldn't sleep, so he flipped through the pages of his book to kill time before class.

"I mean, why do you have a bento box to eat every day?"

Goto Iwakatsu still vividly remembered the time he ruined a pot of food with a spoonful of salt; the bento box was clearly not made by him.

"It's made of fireworks." Uesugi Kai continued reading without looking to the side.

"?"

Such a simple sentence left Goto Iwakatsu looking puzzled and envious. "I see you eating bento boxes every day, and they're never the same. Is the relationship between childhood friends really that good?"

“It’s just that good.” Uesugi Kai’s voice was devoid of emotion.

“He’s a social butterfly, don’t compare yourself to him,” Takahiro Tsubokawa suddenly interjected.

"Why don't I have one?" Goto asked him.

"Ask me?" Takahiro Tsubokawa spread his hands. "Would that be useful?"

It means I don't have it either.

“Uesugi,” Goto Iwakatsu turned to him and asked, “Why do you have it?”

Kai Uesugi stopped turning the pages of his book, thought for a while, and then said, "Hanabi moved to the house next door when she was three years old. I don't know the specific reason, it was too long ago."

"A childhood friend sent from heaven? Why don't the gods favor me? I'm so devout." Takahiro Tsubokawa interjected, making the sign of the cross in front of him.

Uesugi Kai noticed his actions and said, "You're worshipping the wrong gods. If you want a girl, is Jesus more effective, or is the God of Fate more effective?"

"Hmm..." Takahiro Tsubokawa stopped making the sign of the cross, lowered his head and thought for a while, "You're right, as a devout person, I've decided to go to the shrine this Saturday."

"That's quite devout," Goto Iwakatsu remarked.

Kai Uesugi suddenly remembered what Asaka Ogata had said to him yesterday afternoon.

"Goto, Ogata-senpai asked me to ask you why you rejected her sister's confession."

"What!? Goto rejected my confession?" Takahiro Tsubokawa smelled the gossip again and perked up his ears.

"It's nothing, I just don't want to be a jerk."

“Didn’t you get dumped? It wasn’t your fault, so why don’t you accept other girls’ feelings?” Tsubokawa said.

"It's because I got dumped; that's why I'm like this right after the breakup."

This reason was extremely strange, and Goto Iwakatsu himself knew it didn't make sense. He sighed and explained, "Okay, actually, I haven't gotten over being dumped yet."

His voice suddenly turned indignant.

"I, Goto, have had pleasant conversations with 563 girls over the years, but my first love ended completely in just a week and a half. It's a disgrace!"

"shame!"

He emphasized again, then immediately deflated, "It's because I haven't thought it through yet; I can't just agree to Ogata-kun's request."

Takahiro Tsubokawa said quite righteously, "I support you, you're so loyal."

“Okay, innocent young man Goto, Ogata-senpai said that if you don’t agree, she’s going to cause you trouble.” Uesugi Kai continued flipping through the book.

"What is she going to do?" Goto Iwakatsu felt a strange fear of that senior student.

Kai Uesugi didn't look at him, his tone flat: "I don't know."

------

When the Japanese language class ended in the afternoon, Haneda Nozomi said that swimming classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays would resume starting in late May.

Cheers rose and fell.

School swimsuits are something all boys enjoy, even though boys and girls don't share the same space.

After school, I arrived at the archery dojo, but Ogata Asaka, who usually arrived very early, was nowhere to be seen.

Kai Uesugi, who had just changed into her archery uniform, bumped into Mai Chitose, who was beaming with excitement.

"Senior, is Hanabi-chan really your girlfriend?"

In just one afternoon, she became acquainted with Hanabi Hanamoto and they even added each other on Line.

"Is it that strange? Fireworks are so cute." Uesugi Kai took out the arrows from his bag and said seriously.

Chitose Mai's eyes widened, and her mouth formed an "o" shape: "Senpai actually praised a girl for being cute, although Hanabi-chan is really cute."

Her gaze was fixed on the expressionless Uesugi Kai: "And also, last night I asked Hanabi-chan what her impression of her senior was. Does she know what she was talking about?"

"He's handsome and gentle."
