Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard
Chapter 255 - 211: Hanabi Festival (4)

Chapter 255: Chapter 211: Hanabi Festival (4)

The big shark and the two game consoles have already been taken to grandpa by my cousin.

The old man has a car there, which is perfect for putting things.

Continuing to walk through the night market, which is a blend of numerous lights and colors, various small cart kiosks are distributed along both sides.

Here, the bright lights and the orange-red lanterns at each stall make the place exceptionally lively.

The faint scent of barbecue interweaves among the laughter of the crowd.

Hanamaru Hanabi lightly sniffed the air, the glow of the lights dancing in her violet eyes.

At the kiosk surrounded by people ahead, an uncle wearing a white cloth on his head was busy making takoyaki.

"Want to eat something?" Uesugi Sakura lowered his hand, letting his sleeve fall.

One must say, the loose yukata is extremely comfortable, with that silk texture feeling like a young girl’s soft hands caressing the skin.

"I want to eat, but this time, Sakura-kun cannot pay." Hanamaru Hanabi lifted her little face to look at him.

"Why can’t Sakura-kun pay?"

"Sakura-kun... always treats me... and often brings cake and milk over in the morning, Hanabi feels really apologetic about it."

Hanamaru Hanabi followed alongside, her cute little feet barely making a sound in the wooden clogs.

"Although they are very small things, Hanabi still wants to do something for Sakura-kun."

The two were very close, even though the smell of takoyaki overwhelmed their noses, Uesugi Sakura could still catch the pleasant scent from her.

"When little Hanabi thanks Sakura-kun, she always forgets what she’s done."

"What... what have I done?" Hanamaru Hanabi asked, always feeling like she wasn’t doing enough.

"My lunches, dinners, clothes are all provided by little Hanabi, right?" Uesugi Sakura said, "Housework is a very troublesome thing, at least I don’t like doing it."

"Little Hanabi persistently doing so, without complaints, is really not easy."

A warm feeling surged in Hanamaru Hanabi’s heart as she turned her head, "It’s my first time being Sakura-kun’s girlfriend, I don’t know how to date... so I can only do things like that..."

"First time being a girlfriend?" Uesugi Sakura had a faint smile as he stared into her eyes bright with the lights, "So there will be a second time? Is little Hanabi planning to break up with Sakura-kun and then get back together?"

"Of, of course, I don’t mean that!"

Hanamaru Hanabi tilted her little cherry-red face up again, meeting his smiling gaze, her hairpin and short hair simultaneously outlining the girl’s cuteness, "As long as Sakura-kun doesn’t bring it up, Hanabi will definitely not leave Sakura-kun."

Many times, she had said so.

She said she would always, forever accompany him, even if he was useless, she wouldn’t leave.

Uesugi Sakura gazed into her eyes, warmth overflowed within him, and instinctively, his right hand held onto the delicate girl.

Her existence, her softness, conveyed through their clasped hands.

"Alright, today little Hanabi will treat."

The two had already walked to the stall selling takoyaki, with a sign reading 750 yen per portion, the uncle with rolled-up sleeves busily working at the stall.

Hanamaru Hanabi was actually a little foodie, as long as Uesugi fed her, she could eat anything.

Perhaps this was related to his habit of feeding her since childhood.

After all, since a poor little girl had always followed alongside him, Uesugi, who had a bit of an uncle’s mentality, felt sorry not buying her something to eat.

So from a very early time, he got into the habit of buying things for her to eat.

In front of the kiosk, many people were waiting for the new small balls to be served.

Takoyaki is actually a ball of dough wrapped around various minced meat and vegetable bits.

The stall owner uncle first brushed oil on a mold with many round grooves, and then poured in dough mixed with eggs.

Once it sizzled, he added prepared octopus pieces, dried shrimp, minced onion, and chopped cabbage in sequence.

Then poured some more batter, spread it evenly over the entire mold, roasted evenly and flipped each with chopsticks.

Finally, brushed with mayonnaise, sprinkled with salad, seaweed, and bonito flakes.

The octopus takoyaki, with its rich texture and juices flowing, was achieved.

"Customer, your takoyaki." The uncle with the headscarf handed over a delicate little box.

Of course, it wasn’t Hanabi’s turn yet, she could only watch as the hot, soft balls went into the hands of others.

While Hanabi queued at the kiosk to buy takoyaki, Uesugi Sakura, waiting nearby, called a certain someone.

"Hello."

The voice on the other end of the phone came, mixed with some strange noises.

Uesugi Sakura frowned slightly, "What’s that noise on your side?"

"Hehe, Galgame."

With a chuckle, Tsubokawa Takahiro turned off his computer’s sound, holding the phone, said, "Our Uesugi doesn’t go on a holiday trip, why are you calling? Could it be that you miss me?"

Uesugi Sakura ignored his banter, "Want me to gift you a game console?"

"Game console? What game console."

"PS5."

"What!?"

Uesugi Sakura heard the sound of a table being hit and a cup shattering.

"Uesugi... no, Brother Uesugi! Where did you get a PS5!?"

"Is this thing very rare?"

"It’s super rare! Mainly it can’t be bought, you have to rely on lottery qualifications to buy it, those scalpers have even raised the price to 300,000 yen per unit online!"

Tsubokawa Takahiro got more excited as he spoke, starting to enumerate how impressive the gaming console was, all its features were detailed one by one.

"Speaking of which, there was a Blu-ray drive version of the PS5 on eBay (an auction site), the bidding reached $25,100."

That’s roughly 2.8 million yen, 170,000 RMB.

"So much?" Uesugi Sakura’s mouth slightly open, thinking shouldn’t he be able to make a few million if he resold it?

Tsubokawa Takahiro: "Now it’s a bit cheaper, the regular version isn’t quite so exaggerated."
