In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 76 Ou, in a crisis that shouldn't exist
But today he doesn't need to eat these affordable but tired instant bento, and it's rare to enjoy the meal that Huahuo cooked for him alone, so he has to think about what to eat today.

"What kind of food would you like to eat, Mr. Kai?"

Hanamaru Hanabi also asked the same question.

As the daughter of Mieko Hanamaru, who is a housewife by profession, she also has to plan the purchase amount according to the dishes before buying vegetables, so it is difficult to waste.

But the level of Uesugi’s cuisine is not covered. When it comes to dishes, except for the potato curry that he ate for a week, the memory of the taste of the rest of the food in his mind has faded a lot, which led to his difficulty in choosing. He didn’t know what to eat at all. good.

Simply let Hanamaru Hanabi make the decision:

"Choose Huahuo, I will listen to you tonight."

"Just don't be too spicy." He hastily added.

"Mr. Kai, don't you want to eat spicy food?" Hanamaru Hanabi's weak voice was full of regret, but she quickly calmed down again, tilting her head and meditating.

Kaoru Uesugi was afraid that he would be admitted to the hospital.

Having been here for more than ten years, what I eat most are sweet and soft food, and of course cup noodles and instant bento.

Haven't touched any peppers at all.

It stands to reason that it is difficult to buy peppers as hot as Hanamaru's here in Japan.

"How about the sukiyaki...?" Hanamaru Hanabi said softly.

"Shall we eat for two?" Speaking of sukiyaki, Kai Uesugi thought of the extra-large sukiyaki made by Mrs. Hanamaru.

"Yeah," Hanamaru Hanabi nodded her head, "The portion is just right, and the taste is not spicy at all, which meets Kai-kun's requirements."

"Row."

Carrying a small basket, Kai Uesugi followed Hanamaru Hanabi all the way to select shredded konjac, roasted tofu, Chinese cabbage, green onions, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, carrots, and beef for sukiyaki.

Under the watchful eyes of many housewives, the two high school students from the same school just walked out of the supermarket.

As for the payment for groceries, it is paid by fireworks.
Kai Uesugi's wallet was in his schoolbag, and he didn't realize it when he brought Hanabi to the supermarket.

So much so that he saw her small coffers again—the 20 yen she carried with her.

For Kai Uesugi, who spends 500 yen to go to the park, he is really greedy.

Then think of Hanamaru Hiroki's exposed high-ranking official position.

Does this count as being taken care of by a rich girl?
"The childhood sweetheart I saw growing up was actually a very weak rich daughter? "

He has even conceived the core plot: the protagonist, relying on his identity as a bamboo horse, constantly squeezes Qingmei's wallet and heart, and finally everything with her falls under the continuous oppression.

Dozens of G images flashed through his head, and Kaoru Uesugi returned to reality.

Because the sweet smell of the lily has already filled the nostrils again.

The shy Hanamaru Hanabi walked beside her, her short hair was swayed by the breeze of Kanda River, and her delicate face had a pleasing nose and eyebrows.

She is admiring the spring cherry blossoms at night on the embankment.

Uesugi felt that these inwardly blooming cherry blossoms were embellishing her pure beauty.

"Want to hold hands?" He couldn't help asking aloud.

It was such an unreal girl, but she showed real expressions and movements.

She nodded shyly, and stretched out her right hand implicitly:

"Um"

Kai Uesugi looked at her flushed cheeks, smelling the sweetness of cherry blossoms and lilies, and slowly stretched out his left hand to her position.

Fingertips, hooked on the fingertips.

And gradually climbed up, her five fingers slowly inserted through the gap unhurriedly, opening her shyly closed fingers.

The soft hands didn't resist too much, they were just held together so tightly.

The waters of the Kanda River, which runs through the center of Tokyo, joins the Sumida River under the embankment full of cherry blossoms. After a short lingering experience, they flow into the boundless blue sea hand in hand.

disappeared without a trace.

Thus ended their romantic and short life.

Uesugi Kai suddenly understood, this feeling called love.

"Fireworks."

"Um"

"We'll always be together, right?"

Hanamaru Hanabi looked up at him, with the blush still remaining on her little face, she agreed, "Forever."

Kai Uesugi would not say any love words, the only way to respond to her was to hold her little hand tightly and hold her to continue walking on the bank of Kanda River, on the way home.

The long Kanda River is full of falling cherry petals.

------

the next morning,
Kai Uesugi woke up in a daze, and the early morning light had not yet come to his bedroom.

Still sleepy, he was going to turn over, wrap up the quilt and squint for a while, waiting for his mother to wake him up.

At the thought of another day of hard work and fulfillment, he wanted to continue to slack off.

Stretching out his hand to grope backwards for a while, he didn't grab the quilt, but he groped longer and longer.

Touch again.

"Um!?"

The indescribable softness and comfort in his hand made Kai Uesugi's pupils shrink sharply, and he woke up instantly.

Without hesitation, he turned sideways.

What caught my eye was Hanamaru Hanabi's sleeping peacefully.

Exactly the same as when I saw her sleeping last weekend!
"what's the situation!?"

Kaoru Uesugi tries hard to recall, but finds that he only remembers Hanabi saying goodbye and going home after finishing her math lessons.

but now.
Hanamaru Hana's ruddy face, small nose, pink and thin lips, and the faint fragrance from her body all make people feel like flying.

His heart throbbed inexplicably.

Because of the quilt covered by the two of them, Uesugi Kai could still see her attractive and delicate collarbone along her fair neck, and her smooth and tender snow-white shoulders were even more unobstructed.

Uesugi Kai couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and had a certain guess in his heart.

Then I groped in the quilt for a while.

really!

"Where is that brat!!!" Hanamaru Hiroki's angry voice came from downstairs.

Uesugi Kai couldn't help but stop the movement of groping upwards with his hands, and tightened his ears.

"Ah? In Kai's case, he should still be sleeping. What happened?" Uesugi Noriko's voice.

"Huahuo didn't go home all night. I just came back and found out about the news!!"

"Is it Kai?"

"It's that brat!" Hanamaru Hiroki seemed to be yelling at Kaoru Uesugi's room, his voice was much louder, "What are you talking about cramming for homework, eating with Hanabi at night, but Hanabi didn't return all night!"

"The kid is upstairs, right?"

"Yes," Uesugi Noriko's voice suddenly became panicked, "Wait, wait! What is this!?"

click
The sound of something being loaded.

Then, the sound of hurried upstairs footsteps became louder and louder.

"No, no!?"

Uesugi Kai looked at Hanamaru Hanabi who was still breathing calmly in front of him, but he still didn't understand how this kind of thing happened, he just felt that his trigeminal nerve was beating wildly.

It's a dream, it must be a dream!

He sat up immediately.

Snapped!
A loud slap was slapped directly on his face.

not awake
The pain was very real, just as real as the feeling of groping in the quilt just now.

"why!?"

Uesugi Kai was stunned, he was not wearing any clothes now, and Hanamaru Hanabi who was sleeping in front of him showed no signs of waking up.

Her fair collarbone is more clearly visible.

How should I explain to Yuki Hanamaru?
Sorry, we mean it, it's just a little early.

That's definitely over!
Besides, I don't have any beautiful memories at all, and it's not worth dying at all.

Boom!Boom!
There was a rough knock on the door.

"Stinky boy! Open the door for me!! I even locked you back for me!!!"
