Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard
Chapter 201 - 180: July Athletic Festival (1)_2

Chapter 201: Chapter 180: July Athletic Festival (1)_2

"I just glanced at it following your words."

"A glance is still a glance. If you glanced, then any words are just excuses." The theorist Tsubokawa Takahiro said this.

Uesugi Sakura felt that he made a lot of sense.

Putting himself in her shoes, if Hanabi glanced at another boy.

He would also feel jealous and uncomfortable.

So, Uesugi Sakura turned around: "Then let’s leave this place first."

On the track, Kagawa Yuuki started to lose strength, becoming breathless, with her chest heaving up and down slowly.

The boys naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity; they hadn’t noticed that this girl wasn’t wearing a bra.

Tsubokawa stared straight ahead, waved a hand at Uesugi: "You go ahead, Goto and I are single guys, we’ll watch for a bit longer."

Uesugi Sakura turned his head to see the same excited look in his eyes as most of the other boys.

"Didn’t you say you’d always only like characters from 2D worlds?"

Tsubokawa Takahiro: "My dozens of wives don’t mind; as a man, of course, I can watch."

Goto also chimed in: "Yes, yes, a normie like Uesugi wouldn’t understand the sadness of us poor guys."

Goto’s reputation recently hasn’t been great among the girls, but he’s really just chatting.

Although his past hobbies were a bit weird, he was never foolish enough to directly ask someone about a girl’s measurements.

Doing that would just get him labeled a pervert and deleted, normal chatting wouldn’t even be possible.

He always felt there was something fishy about Uesugi getting implicated in this matter.

Seeing his two friends being attracted by novelty, Uesugi Sakura shook his head helplessly and squeezed out of the congested crowd.

This sports festival was a collaboration of five local schools, including Waseda Affiliated High School and Mizuki High School.

According to Principal Kamigoe at the opening ceremony, this is to promote exchanges between students from different schools.

The setting of prizes is to inspire everyone’s better passion.

In short, money is no object.

Today, Uesugi has no events, the Kendo and Kyudo competitions have to wait until Wednesday.

Anyway, it’s a rare chance to take it easy amidst the busyness.

Actually, there’s also a pole vault event on Thursday.

Even someone as lazy as he was forced by the class president to participate in three events.

Uesugi Sakura has been thinking whether he could get help from Kyujuu Rika for his grandfather’s side.

To influence a politician at the pinnacle of power, even if she is his daughter, should be impossible.

Unless that person is like a father-in-law who dotes on his daughter like Hanabi’s husband.

Under the translucent green of the zelkova tree, Uesugi Sakura put down his book and opened his phone.

——Hanabi Fan Club——

A large group of familiar IDs were still inside.

Fujiwara Azumi was tagging him.

"Third Gen Lord, is there any event today?"

Uesugi Sakura casually replied: "No."

Kato Megumi now is my wife: "President! How can there be no event, Hanabi-chan will be sad."

Uesugi Sakura knew Hanabi wasn’t sad, she seemed quite happy today.

Her smile is very sweet to me.

I am just a scientist, without their strong powers: "Raise a banner! Must cheer for Hanabi-chan’s marathon race in the afternoon! Can’t lose to that guy from Zao High called Kagawa something!"

What’s wrong with men being perverts: "Actually, isn’t it bad for Hn-chan, such a frail girl, to run a marathon? I heard she fainted two weeks ago."

Hn-chan is the nickname they gave to Hanabi.

Hanamaru Hanabi is called: Hanamaru Hanabi.

Both letters H are the initials, but calling her H-chan isn’t okay.

Because there is another strange deep meaning.

So Hanabi’s nickname is Hana (Flower), abbreviated to Hn-chan.

Fujiwara Azumi: "Exactly! I heard Uesugi insisted that Hn-chan run with him at noon, that day it was 30 degrees."

Hideyoshi’s gender is Hideyoshi: "No way... Hn-chan is such a delicate girl..."

Slander me?

Uesugi Sakura typed on the screen.

Paddle of the canoe (President): "Really? No man would do such a thing to his fiancée, right?"

Fujiwara Azumi: "President, you don’t know the bad things Uesugi has done. To my knowledge, he was recently being called ’cold-hearted scum’ in the girls’ circle."

What a ridiculous title?

Uesugi Sakura was completely unaware of this, could his information be so closed off?

He continued to read their chat.

What’s wrong with men being perverts: "Oh! This I know, rumor has it Uesugi’s appearance and inside are completely different people, a cold-faced handsome guy, a perverted scum."

Fujiwara Azumi: "I have two really weird girls in my class, every day they secretly talk about how to get Uesugi to notice them."

Kato Megumi now is my wife: "Multiple personalities?"

What’s wrong with men being perverts: "No, he’s the kind of guy who hides very deeply, on the surface rejecting the girls who confess to him, but then actively adding those girls on Line the next day.

Letting them reignite hope in extreme disappointment, thus being grateful for him taking the initiative, and quicker to do what he expects."

Kato Megumi now is my wife: "Teasing?"

Fujiwara Azumi: "Rumor has it, Uesugi went to Kabuki-cho two days ago, a place like that... hmm hmm."

Where did you get so many rumors?

Uesugi Sakura felt that this ID named Fujiwara Azumi was just here to stir up trouble.

He wanted to just mute her, but thought about it.

Not appropriate.

He opened up a general mute for all.

Paddle of the canoe (President): "Talking about him is meaningless, let’s have a 2-hour mute to calm down, everyone should think about how to cheer for Hn-chan in the afternoon."

Uesugi Sakura closed his phone.

He suddenly regretted listening to Tsubokawa opening this fan group,

No doubt, they greatly admire Hanabi, but to himself, it was all sorts of unheard scandals emerging one after another.

Uesugi Sakura even suspected they were making things up just to smear him.

Is it so unpopular to be Hanabi’s fiancé?

Even when Hoshino Gen married Aragaki Yui, there weren’t so many scandals.

It’s just ridiculous.

Uesugi Sakura picked up his book again to calm his mind, Reading Lv9 allows him to peacefully immerse himself in the world of books.

The swallows’ grass, as thick and green as silk, the willows of Qin, low and green.

Even though there were no lush fields and mulberry leaves, this tranquil atmosphere of the backyard was enough to let him enjoy reading further.

This recently picked-up book "Six Records of a Floating Life" brought joy.

The writing is delicate and lively, depicting the author’s feelings since childhood with his wife, painting a plain yet interesting domestic life.

Such a harmonious and loving couple is quite enviable.

"Hoo~ hoo~"

A dark shadow suddenly stood in front of him.

Sitting under the zelkova tree, on the bench, Uesugi Sakura raised his head.

At a glance, he could recognize who it was.

Black dress, black shoes, black socks.

——Although Kamigoe High’s black sailor outfit also has this combination, the girl in front was clearly not from there.

Her clothing material was more exquisite, evidently the kind you’d only seen in window displays as western-style little dresses.

"I have no money."

Uesugi Sakura just glanced at her and continued reading his book.

His attitude was casual, as if the person in front of him was just a small, unimportant beggar.

Kitagawa Sakisa pouted instantly, saying angrily: "Who wants your money!!"

This time Uesugi Sakura didn’t even look at her and replied: "Didn’t you eat enough with the thousand yen I gave you last time? Should’ve been enough for a bowl of ramen and to buy a bread, right?"

"Hmph hmph."

Kitagawa Sakisa put her hands on her hips, with the large, lace-trimmed hem of her skirt fluttering in the breeze; her stance was full of confidence:

"Who treasures your money, I didn’t spend a cent of your thousand yen!"

"Then where did the thousand yen I gave to you go?"

"Thrown into the sewer!" Kitagawa Sakisa said, a little proudly, "I won’t use a penny from someone like you!"

Thinking about it, she added: "Even if I were hungry, no way!"

Uesugi Sakura stopped looking at her, he disliked people who waste money carelessly, that’s money his father earned through hard work.

As a son, he would do anything to give the money to himself as pocket money.

This little beggar in front of him not only threw away the money he gave her but also came to flaunt that in front of him.

Utterly perplexing.

Ignoring her continued talking, Uesugi Sakura quietly turned the pages, his slender fingers lifting the book’s air.

Kitagawa Sakisa called out to Uesugi several times, but he didn’t respond again.

His cold demeanor made her feel disliked and distanced.

Kitagawa Sakisa tentatively asked: "Are you angry?"

Uesugi Sakura didn’t answer.

"No, right? You... wouldn’t, would you?"

Uesugi Sakura calmly flipped through his book.

"No, there’s no problem... right?"

No words spoken.

"I, I..."

Kitagawa Sakisa watched his icy demeanor, panic seeping into her expression, exposed even under her fully bandaged face.

She had never been so distanced by anyone; that cold demeanor left her at a loss.
