Chapter 48: Chapter 48 A Comfortable Daily Campus Life

By the time they finished resolving the issue and arrived at school, it was almost noon.

They still had to report to Teacher Haneda Kimu and explain the situation in detail.

So, they didn’t have to attend the last class.

After briefly explaining the situation to Haneda Kimu, she let the two of them go.

However, her gaze turned a bit strange when looking at them.

This was unavoidable since any case involving "harassment" or "pervert" would make anyone imagine things.

"I’m sorry, Uesugi, I made you waste so much time."

The two sat on a bench in the courtyard, and Hanamaru Hanabi took the iced tea drink handed to her by Uesugi Sakura.

"It was all a misunderstanding, it’s all over now." Uesugi Sakura took a sip of the coffee drink in his hand, which tasted slightly bitter.

"But why did you suddenly act like that at that time?"

"Hanabi... I was just reminded of something."

Hanamaru Hanabi stopped speaking after saying this.

Something?

That previous ’No’?

What could make her say ’No,’ even changing her tone?

Could it be... Hanabi has become less innocent?

Uesugi Sakura turned to look at Hanamaru Hanabi’s shy face, with her thighs revealed under the pleated skirt especially eye-catching.

He suddenly had a thought of wanting to mess with her.

Frightened, he quickly took a sip of coffee to calm himself down.

Lately, he feared he might have awakened some strange trait.

"Forget it, let’s head back to class first, there’s still half a class left."

"Okay."

...

Noon, cafeteria.

Due to the rain, the sky outside the cafeteria had darkened.

"Uesugi, what’s with you today? You even showed up late with Hanamaru, and what’s with that face of yours?" Goto Iwao said as he sat down with a plate of fried chicken set.

The three of them sat in a triangular formation at the cafeteria table.

"Don’t ask too much, the face injury happened from falling on the stairs last night."

Tsubokawa Takahiro adjusted his glasses and lifted his head to look at Uesugi Sakura, casting a questioning gaze: "Everyone who didn’t fall on the stairs claims they did.

"Are you hiding something?"

"Oh? Uesugi," Goto Iwao raised an eyebrow, "Did you go on a date with Hanamaru this morning? She seemed very embarrassed when you two entered the classroom together."

"We can rule that out,"

Tsubokawa Takahiro said while eating his soba set meal, "Hanamaru has always been like this, it’s normal for them to go to school together daily. What’s more concerning is the bandaged wound on his face."

Tsubokawa Takahiro rested his chin on his hand, studying it: "The bandage is neatly done, almost intentionally so, suggesting someone quite meticulous helped him with it.

"Who do you think it could be?"

Tsubokawa Takahiro turned to Goto Iwao next to him, directly passing the question to him.

"Haha, no need to guess! It must be Hanamaru!"

Goto Iwao looked delightedly at Uesugi Sakura, who was eating:

"So, Uesugi, childhood friend of Hanamaru, is there any special progress between the two of you?"

"Really curious," Tsubokawa Takahiro nodded in agreement, "After all, Hanamaru is really cute, for Uesugi not to resist making a move on such a childhood friend is understandable, right?"

"Desire is the truth of being a high school student."

"Who doesn’t like dating a cute girl?"

"Just come clean, Uesugi."

"We understand you, Uesugi, we’re all men after all, we get it!"

The two were pushing Uesugi Sakura with their words, trying to get him to confess.

"Alright, you two," Uesugi Sakura straightened up, "Stop fixating on my affairs all the time, why don’t you two think about getting girlfriends yourselves?"

Tsubokawa Takahiro immediately said seriously, hearing this:

"Girlfriends only exist in the second dimension."

"Me? I haven’t decided who to date yet, talking to girls all feels the same."

A nerd, a playboy.

Uesugi Sakura looked at them both and shook his head in resignation.

...

The afternoon in the Kyudo Club was as dull and boring as usual.

Practicing the so-called bow-pulling action over and over.

Apart from Chitose Mai and the club president questioning his face, nothing special happened.

18:10:32

By now, the rain had stopped, and Uesugi Sakura walked back to the study session in the classroom.

Upon opening the door, Uesugi Sakura didn’t see Haneda Kimu sitting at the front, but the other four were all present.

"Uesugi," Ayaka Rie stood up from her seat, "What happened this morning?"

"It was just the usual walk to school."

Uesugi Sakura naturally sat in the seat next to Hanamaru Hanabi without any discomfort.

"Something’s off, I asked Hanabi-chan all afternoon, and she wouldn’t say, you must have threatened her!"

For some reason, seeing Ayaka Rie’s pouty face, Uesugi Sakura calmly and sincerely replied:

"I can’t say, it’s a secret between Hanabi and me."

"A secret!? What do you mean!?"

Ayaka Rie’s pupils suddenly contracted, her gaze constantly shifting between him and Hanamaru Hanabi.

Uesugi Sakura ignored her, took out the notes he borrowed from Tsubokawa Takahiro, and started reviewing the morning’s lesson.

As Uesugi Sakura ignored her, Ayaka Rie didn’t have any recourse. After all, she couldn’t exactly take off her shoe to hit him.

In this situation, she could only turn to the more approachable Hanamaru Hanabi for a breakthrough.

"Hanabi-chan~"

Ayaka Rie pressed her cheek tightly against Hanamaru Hanabi’s and gently rubbed against her smooth, fair skin,

"Just tell me~ what bad thing did Uesugi do to you while I wasn’t around this morning? Tell me, and I’ll help you teach him a lesson, maybe take him to the police station~"

"Rie-chan, please don’t do that, it tickles....."

Ayaka Rie didn’t stop her actions, still rubbing her cheek against Hanamaru Hanabi’s soft and smooth skin.

"Tell me~ Come on, tell me~"

"No... it tickles....."

Hanamaru Hanabi closed her eyes as she was tickled, her head tilting to the side from being pushed.

"Hurry up, hurry up~"

Ayaka Rie increased the pressure and started tickling her with both hands.

"No... don’t... haha... it tickles..."

Kyujuu Rika observed the two quietly from the side.

Kiyohara Tomomi adjusted her round, gold-rimmed glasses, watching the two with great excitement, letting out faint adorable gasps.
