Chapter 279: Chapter 223: Return to Tokyo (Deleted the last section from yesterday)

Uesugi Sakura wanted to go to the UK to find her, but after a phone call with her mother-in-law, she always felt like she was missing something.

That night, he held that big shark plushie for a long time and realized:

If he went to find her without thinking things through, it would be pointless and would only make things worse.

"Oh, are you going back to Tokyo?" Sakihara Yishin scratched Akai’s head.

As a Shiba Inu, Akai was raised by him to have a round head and chubby rear.

"After all, school is starting soon."

"What you mean by coming to tell me is to ask if I’m going to Tokyo, right?" Sakihara Yishin glanced at him.

"That’s exactly what I mean."

"I’ll definitely go, but I also want to stay here a few more days. If there’s any Jade Dragon Flag or championship Sword Dao events, remember to participate."

Uesugi’s grandma couldn’t bear to see her two little grandsons leave, but she just smiled in farewell and reminded them to stay safe and take care of themselves.

Other than that, she didn’t say much more.

August 27th, the flight to Tokyo took off.

After overlooking the layers of dark clouds over Shikoku Island from ten thousand meters high, Uesugi Sakura returned to Tokyo from Haneda Airport.

During this time, he watched the buildings on the ground shrink and couldn’t help but imagine what mood Hanabi was in when she left from this seat.

Was it reluctance, sadness, or calm...?

Unlike the joyful laughter that could tease her on the way here, this time a stranger woman sat next to Uesugi Sakura.

The silent closed-eye rest was the best summary of this flight.

August 29th.

After working out at home for two days, Uesugi Sakura couldn’t resist calling Tsubokawa Takahiro out for a play.

"Today is the 23rd day of unbelievable events; Uesugi actually took the initiative to call me out."

"Why the 23rd day?"

"Because 23 days ago, you gave me a PS5!"

At Akihabara station platform, Uesugi Sakura awaited the arrival of Tsubokawa from the train.

He was carrying a shoulder bag, wearing new glasses, and holding an umbrella.

Uesugi Sakura just glanced at him and then continued to look up at the dark sky.

"What’s up with you?"

"I was just wondering why it’s still raining in Tokyo even now?"

"Raining, huh?"

Tsubokawa Takahiro, who mostly stayed at home gaming, had no concept of the weather, "I think it started a couple of days ago, but don’t worry, reality doesn’t have sunny girls, and Tokyo won’t be flooded."

As the sound of the train heading to the next platform faded away, more and more passengers walked past them out of the station.

The two also walked towards outside the station, where the posters of "Genshin" dominated Akihabara Station; Uesugi Sakura only recognized the girl with the red hat because Tsubokawa seemed to have used her.

"So what’s the reason you asked me out?" Tsubokawa asked.

"Boredom, I wanted to treat you to a meal."

"Aren’t you stingy? Why give me a PS5 and then treat me to a meal? Are you after my looks?"

Uesugi Sakura, of course, knew he was joking, "Right now I have 6,135,200 yen in savings, treating you to a meal is no problem."

90% of it was from Grandparents.

"So what’s the real reason?"

Walking out of the subway station, they were greeted by towering skyscrapers and various kinds of posters filled with the feel of the anime world.

They each opened their umbrellas.

Uesugi Sakura: "What do you think?"

Tsubokawa Takahiro adjusted his reflective glasses, "Based on my experience with several dozen wives, you’re heartbroken and want to share your gloominess."

"I’m just pondering some questions, don’t know what reason to give as an answer."

Actually, Uesugi Sakura was tired from working out at home and wanted to relax.

"Questions? Did I... guess right?" Tsubokawa Takahiro was in an extremely shocked state, "Impossible, didn’t you already get engaged? Don’t tell me you broke up with classmate Hanamaru?"

"We didn’t break up," Uesugi Sakura said, "she just went to study abroad in the UK."

"Isn’t this some Fuji TV morning drama plot?"

Tsubokawa Takahiro looked at his face, "What’s so great about the UK."

"Royal Academy of Arts."

"...."

"Well, that’s fine, but doesn’t that place only accept graduate students?"

"Going early to study, with a professor’s guidance, kind of like reserving a spot in advance."

Understood, it means there’s a special channel.

"Eat first or go to the arcade first?" Uesugi Sakura looked around and asked, the orange-yellow SEGA No. 2 building was also covered in Genshin posters.

"Of course, play games! There’s absolutely nothing more exciting than games, except maybe a galgame!"

"..."

Turning at the corner into an inner street, many cat-eared girls in maid outfits were soliciting customers here, and once they saw young men passing by, they would approach and solicit them with cutesy tones.

One of Akihabara’s main attractions is the maid cafés.

"Master, do you want to come to our shop for a bite?"

"Master, you can come in for a tea break~"

"Master, we have lovingly magical omelet rice~"

They are mostly high school girls working part-time during summer vacation, and the workload as a maid is light with high pay.

Many housewives also end up working as maids to earn some pocket money.

After all, with some makeup, they can look like young girls again.

Passing through this street, Uesugi Sakura glanced at Tsubokawa who just stared at the smiling faces with a smile.

"Have you ever been to this kind of café before?"

"Kidding me, why would I go to this kind of place?" Tsubokawa Takahiro patted his chest and said, "Isn’t it just a pinkish maid and inside, they perform magic with hearts while serving food and drinks, saying some incredibly cringeworthy cute words."
