Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard
Chapter 182 - 170 Sword Dao and Technique

Chapter 182: Chapter 170 Sword Dao and Technique

In July, Tokyo is either drenched in rainy season or sweltering with high humidity and heat, with heatwaves distorting the air.

Uesugi Sakura, already seated in the resting area in just a short-sleeved shirt, felt uncomfortable watching them. Weren’t they hot in those thick protective gears?

"Why not turn on the air conditioning?"

Hanamaru Yugetsu, continuously fanning himself, voiced the inner protest of Uesugi Sakura.

His sunglasses and jacket were tossed aside, leaving only a white T-shirt and a crystal necklace exposed.

"Mr. Hanamaru, are you feeling hot?" Higashiyama Chizu, her face glistening with sweat, leaned in and asked, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

Hanamaru Yugetsu pointed at his forehead and hers, both sticky with hair, and asked in confusion, "Aren’t you hot?"

"I think it’s okay..." Higashiyama Chizu nodded and then said, "If Mr. Hanamaru needs, I can turn it on right now."

Hanamaru Yugetsu clasped his hands together, quickly making a pleading gesture to her, "Then please!"

"Haha... Mr. Hanamaru, there’s no need for that."

Higashiyama Chizu waved her hand repeatedly, respecting him without anyone knowing why, stealing glances at him while fetching the remote from the lounge.

Hanamaru Yugetsu, of course, noticed these details, his keen insight similar to that of Hanamaru Hiroki.

The reason for this, he could only attribute to his own charm attracting young girls.

After all, it was not uncommon for him in the past.

"Kohara Hotaka."

"Kono Tasukeru."

"Morioka Rui."

"Shirakawa Haruhiko."

"Fujiwara Takumi."

"Step out." Kumazawa Onijiro shouted, his voice robust and powerful, fitting for a strong man.

"Yes." The five stepped out of line, exuding the unique passionate vibe of young kendo enthusiasts.

Human joys and sorrows do not connect, as Uesugi Sakura merely felt they were hot.

Even with the air conditioning now on.

Uesugi Shio also selected the five more skilled students from Kamigoe, who were introduced to Uesugi Sakura last time as the second-year students.

Goto Iwao was among them.

Their kendo exchange match held little interest, so Uesugi Sakura didn’t much care about the outcome.

Started chatting with his uncle.

"What has Uncle Yugetsu been up to lately?"

Since he needed to see everyone’s basic skills, Hanamaru Yugetsu paid attention to their movements.

"Little Sakura, what do you think Uncle Yuzuki would be doing?" He turned back with a meaningful smile, "Interested in going to Kabuki-cho for a bit of fun?"

Kabuki-cho is the largest red-light district in all of Asia, where four-fifths used to be establishments of a certain nature.

"Isn’t it a bad place to go?"

Taking off his glasses, Hanamaru Yugetsu had the youthful charm of his uncle: "Hey, don’t say that. Kabuki-cho now has far fewer flashy neon lights; it’s full of decent restaurants and dining spots now."

"Then what would I do there?"

"Oh...?" Hanamaru Yugetsu smiled: "You mean, if there was something to do, you’d go?"

"No." Uesugi Sakura said, "I’m a minor."

"Always using being a minor as an excuse."

Hanamaru Yugetsu rubbed his chin, looking Uesugi Sakura up and down: "But Uncle, I always felt that you are that kind of person, deep and unfathomable."

"I have a keen eye for people." He added.

"It must be your delusion, Uncle." Uesugi Sakura said.

Hanamaru Yugetsu laughed without saying a word, then finally said, "True, if you went there, I wouldn’t believe it if Second Brother didn’t give you trouble."

"Didn’t Uncle Yugetsu say those were all decent restaurants?"

"Some are indeed, but who can say for certain whether they are decent? People who can open businesses there more or less have some yakuza connections.

"Who would refuse the chance to earn more money?

"Anyway, if you want to play around there, just have a drink or sing karaoke with me, and absolutely don’t bring my niece along."

"Would there be danger?"

"Maybe there would be."

The topic ended here.

The exchange match between the five from Kamigoe and Zao High also concluded.

The score was 0:5.

Just a hair away from a complete victory.

The Waseda High School Kendo Club meant no offense, just ordinarily displayed their full strength.

But due to the large gap in skill levels, only Goto put up a fight with two hits against his opponent.

Uesugi Sakura didn’t expect this guy to be so diligent, as he only brought him into the kendo department to help him strengthen his body.

Hanamaru Yugetsu, observing the slightly awkward atmosphere, seemed to seriously suggest to Uesugi Shio:

"Hmm... everyone’s basics aren’t very solid, both footwork and strikes are quite immature, revealing weaknesses at just a seime (probe) from the opponent."

"Are they newly recruited members?"

"Yes." Uesugi Shio helplessly nodded, "Everyone just joined last week."

Kumazawa Onijiro with arms crossed: "Reaching a level where they can engage in actual combat after just a week of practicing kendo is already impressive."

Kumazawa Onijiro didn’t finish his sentence; indeed, their learning Speed was very fast, able to exchange a few rounds with their members in just about a week.

But with Kamigoe’s home joint sports festival drawing near, time for them to improve was completely insufficient.

The kendo clubs from other schools were by no means weak.

He did hear that Kamigoe intended to expand its influence in competitive events.

But no matter what, having the newly rebuilt kendo department compete against other schools was too rash.

For Kamigoe, not participating in this kendo match would be the best choice.

As the host being defeated would only bring more disgrace.

Kumazawa Onijiro subconsciously glanced at Uesugi Shio, the seemingly leisurely head of the Kamigoe Kendo Department.

"Missy, aren’t you going to try?" Hanamaru Yugetsu said to Uesugi Shio.
