Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard
Chapter 165 - 155 Weekend Routine

Chapter 165: Chapter 155 Weekend Routine

"Then I’ll throw it out." Uesugi Shio said, holding the helpless orange cat and walking towards the blinds where the sunlight streamed in.

"Wait, Shio sister." Hanamaru Hanabi shouted.

Uesugi Shio and the orange cat turned their heads to look at her.

Four eyes equally lazy.

"You still want this lecherous fat cat, Hanabi?" Shio asked, holding up the cat’s neck.

"It’s a girl..."

"A female cat?"

Uesugi Shio raised her arm, squinted her eyes and glanced at it, "Hmm... it is indeed."

She walked back to the bed and placed the orange cat in front of Hanamaru Hanabi.

The Uesugi cat stretched its soft waist and yawned comfortably.

"This cat was sleeping on your belly and seemed to sleep quite soundly."

The Uesugi cat gathered its four fluffy paws together, sitting on the bed, tail flicking, stretching its neck waiting for little Hanabi to pet it.

Uesugi Shio couldn’t help but smile, "Quite clever."

Hanamaru Hanabi gently stroked the Uesugi cat along its fur, scratching its belly, and it lay lazily on the bed, squinting comfortably.

"It’s gentle, but it’s also very fat." Uesugi Shio looked at the orange cat and said, "But why does it seem like its eyes are as lazy as Sakura’s."

Hanamaru Hanabi looked at its eyes while stroking its belly and whispered, "Yes... very familiar."

Uesugi Shio stretched lazily towards the ceiling, her sapphire eyes beautiful but unfocused.

"By the way, where’s Sakura?"

Hanamaru Hanabi looked around, but saw no one.

"Where’s Sakura-kun?"

Uesugi Shio rummaged through her pockets, finding neither her phone nor her lollipop.

"Did he just run off first thing in the morning?"

Hanamaru Hanabi picked up the Uesugi cat, placed it on her plump white thighs, and continued to pet it.

The more she petted the cat, the more addictive it became.

"You can call Sakura-kun."

Uesugi Shio looked at Hanamaru Hanabi’s messy pajamas and her porcelain-like exposed shoulder and sighed inwardly.

After spending a night, running off early in the morning, Sakura is just too irresponsible, isn’t he really a playboy?

She sat on the edge of the bed, watching the girl calmly petting the cat.

"Hanabi, you’re only fifteen, right?"

"Hmm..."

"Did you use protection?"

"What is Shio sister talking about?"

"..."

Does she... not know about this?

Uesugi Shio covered her face, a bit angry, "Where did that Sakura guy run off to."

Hanamaru Hanabi was patting the unresponsive Uesugi cat and handed her phone to her.

After tapping hard on the screen a few times, Uesugi Shio dialed the number.

...

The ringtone suddenly blared from the bedside.

Looks like he didn’t even take his phone.

"This guy!"

Uesugi Shio hung up the call that didn’t connect and placed the phone on the pillow beside her.

Hanamaru Hanabi still had that quiet demeanor, her docile and cute appearance eliciting sympathy.

Since she was little, she had this passive personality, easily bullied, easily deceived.

Uesugi Shio looked at her exposed beautiful shoulder, the more she looked, the more her heart ached.

She straightened her messy pajamas for her.

"Shio sister...?" Hanamaru Hanabi asked, petting the now asleep Uesugi cat and looking up.

"Sigh, Hanabi, even though it’s late, I still have to say, girls need to know how to protect themselves."

"Hanabi knows."

"..."

Seeing that she did not understand her meaning at all, Uesugi Shio couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache at her innocence.

Completely being played for a fool, isn’t it?

How could Sakura be so heartless to a childhood friend who was like a sister?

Leaving the girl alone in the room early in the morning, with her clothes still disheveled, only accompanied by a fat cat.

It just looked like she was abandoned.

Truly a heartless bastard.

I really misjudged him.

"Uh... though you have an engagement, Hanabi-chan, you’re only fifteen... have you considered what would happen if you got pregnant? It would greatly affect you."

"...Pregnant?" Hanamaru Hanabi blinked at her.

"..."

A long silence hung between them.

Does she not understand?

Would Sakura even lie to her about this?

Taking advantage of her gentle personality and tricking her just to satisfy himself?

No matter the intent, this is too excessive!

Uesugi Shio held her head, shaking it, her usual lackluster eyes showing a hint of helplessness.

"I have to find him and talk."

Hanamaru Hanabi could tell Uesugi Shio seemed a bit angry, but she didn’t know why.

Is it because she couldn’t find Sakura-kun?

The girl scratched the Uesugi cat’s soft belly and looked out at the sky through the blinds, Sakura-kun... where are you?

——————

Breakfast at the Uesugi family.

Today, Mrs. Uesugi made some extra beef curry.

Fragrant steam rose in the kitchen.

The Uesugi cat was elegantly pacing on the table, waiting for breakfast.

Uesugi Kenichi set his phone down, his eyes following the cat’s movements back and forth.

"Where did this fat cat come from?"

Hanamaru Hanabi said, "Followed from near the school... Hanabi wants to keep it, but it seems to have an owner."

"From the school area?" Uesugi Kenichi sipped his morning tea, "Following all the way here without proof of identity, it probably doesn’t have an owner."

Uesugi Shio lay on the table watching the cat pace.

"This cat is gentle, just a bit fat and lazy."

"Cats should be lazy, makes them easier to handle," Uesugi Kenichi said.

"So can Hanabi keep it?" Hanamaru Hanabi reached out wanting to pet him, and the Uesugi cat turned its head and licked her soft, pinkish white finger.

It tingled slightly.

"If you want to keep it, go ahead. It seems quite well-behaved. For an orange cat, fat is normal."

The Uesugi cat lay before Hanamaru Hanabi, its four legs stretched out, allowing the girl’s small hands to pet it.

Uesugi Shio propped her face with her left hand, pushing her cheeks forward, looking like she was pouting.

"This cat seems especially close to Hanabi-chan."

"Looks about two years old, its fur is nice, this plump look doesn’t belong to a stray," Uesugi Kenichi said, "By the way, where’s Sakura? Still not awake?"

Uesugi Shio took a piece of paper from her bag and waved it, her tone lazy, "Sakura left a note saying he went for a morning run, ten kilometers, and will have breakfast outside, so we don’t need to wait for him."

Uesugi Kenichi took a sip of tea and chuckled, "He went for a morning run? That’s rare."

Talking about Uesugi Sakura made Uesugi Shio fall silent.

Some things aren’t easy to discuss with elders, but since it’s about little Hanabi’s happiness, she has to have a good conversation with Uesugi Sakura.

Tricking Hanabi into doing that kind of thing is excessive.

She’s only a fifteen-year-old girl, still in high school. What would people think if she got pregnant?

Wouldn’t it affect her studies?

Although it’s a bit inappropriate for an outsider to intervene, as their elder sister who grew up with them, she has to give him a reminder.

Hanabi, such a gentle girl, is not for bullying and deception but for cherishing.

Thinking back to when Uesugi Sakura tricked and tricked her as a kid, then went off to slack, Uesugi Shio couldn’t help but shake her head.

Time for her Sword Dao to help him out again.
