Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard
Chapter 72 Reliable Senior Uesugi

Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Reliable Senior Uesugi

"It’s a simple matter," Ogata Asaka’s tone remained indifferent, "spending so much time to resolve it, besides being very uncomfortable, serves no purpose."

This comment was obviously directed at Goto Iwao.

"Sister!"

Her younger sister clutched her forearm, incredulous at her decision.

"No need for the Ogata family to hesitate so," said Ogata Asaka lightly, causing the sister beside her to remain silent.

"Uesugi, what should we do now?" Goto Iwao anxiously asked.

Uesugi Sakura gave Goto a reassuring look and continued to speak to Ogata Asaka:

"Senior Sister Ogata, although I agree with the feasibility of this proposal, it seems the main people involved on both sides are not too willing. Why don’t we let them each go back to think it over, and after they calm down, make a sensible decision?"

"This is the best consideration for both parties’ situations. It’s better not to be so hasty in matters of relationships."

Uesugi Sakura didn’t have much information at the moment, and being surrounded by people like this was unfavorable to understanding Goto’s situation.

In any case, he first complied with Ogata Asaka’s request tactfully, and then wait to understand the ins and outs before making a decision.

"No,"

Ogata Asaka’s conduct was flawless, "My patience with that scumbag has reached its limit; letting troublesome things drag on will only make them more troublesome, so we should resolve it decisively now—"

It really isn’t workable.

Uesugi Sakura’s expression hardened, directly interrupting her: "It’s not possible to solve the problem now, Senior."

His tone was indisputable.

"!?"

Ogata Akino was surprised and instinctively covered her mouth.

Ogata Asaka furrowed her beautiful brows tightly, and her intangible aura became more icy.

The onlookers shifted their gaze back and forth between Uesugi Sakura and Ogata Asaka, realizing that the atmosphere had somehow turned awkward.

"Up... Uesugi?" Goto Iwao felt a bit apprehensive.

Ignoring the crowd’s gaze, Uesugi Sakura calmly continued, "Senior, you are currently controlling the situation unilaterally, pushing for the outcome you desire.

"This seemingly reasonable solution is merely conforming to your own thoughts, regardless of whether it meets Goto and your sister’s expectations.

"This way, it’s extremely disrespectful to both of them."

"Being overly assertive sometimes is not good for the people and things around you."

Ogata Asaka’s beautiful brows furrowed deeper, seeming dissatisfied with his statement.

But to Goto Iwao’s surprise, when everyone thought the situation would become more rigid.

Ogata Asaka actually relented, albeit her tone still high and cold:

"Since Uesugi-san says so, let’s do as you said, but that scumbag is not allowed to chat with other women on his phone before the matter is resolved."

"This is a non-negotiable demand."

Ogata Asaka cast a cold glance at Goto Iwao, left this remark, and then took her sister through the crowd towards the direction of the teaching building.

Seeing that the Senior Sister had left, the Kyudo Club members knew it was temporarily over and cast a look at Goto like looking at a scumbag, then dispersed.

"Whew~~"

As soon as the oppressive atmosphere left, Goto Iwao let out a sigh of relief.

Uesugi Sakura took a glance at his watch.

13:13:25

Goto’s matter was temporarily settled, not urgent.

With little time left, he still had to find the club president.

"Yuusaki-kun." He called out to Yuusaki Mutta, who was just about to leave.

"Ah?"

Yuusaki Mutta didn’t expect Uesugi Sakura to call him, pointing at himself with his right hand, "Is Senior Uesugi calling me?"

Even though Uesugi Sakura and he were of the same year in the Kyudo Club, because Uesugi Sakura was a second-year and his skills in kyudo far surpassed his peers.

So most colleagues in the Kyudo Club would address him as Senior.

"It’s nothing important," Uesugi Sakura said, "I just wanted to ask if Senior Seisuke is in the Kyudo Club, I didn’t see him earlier."

"The president returned to the teaching building a while ago."

Uesugi Sakura nodded, "Got it, thanks."

"Then... I’ll take my leave, Senior Uesugi."

"Go ahead."

After nodding slightly to Uesugi Sakura, Yuusaki Mutta left on his own.

Tsubokawa Takahiro adjusted his glasses: "I didn’t expect Uesugi to have such a high status in the Kyudo Club, like he’s not a new member."

"It’s okay."

Uesugi Sakura replied casually, knowing that since Seisuke Yooya wasn’t in the Kyudo Club, staying there would be pointless.

He glanced at the Goto Iwao beside him, "Let’s go, back to the classroom and talk slowly."

Tsubokawa Takahiro gave Goto a mischievous look: "That cold Senior Sister knows about your line situation, it seems there was a deviation in your transition from quantity to quality, now the car’s wrecked and the person nearly gone."

"What are you talking about," Goto Iwao gave him a playful punch on the back and then sighed, "Sigh, it’s all because of getting a girlfriend lately."

Thinking it over, he suddenly stated firmly:

"I really shouldn’t be in a relationship!"

"Huh,"

Tsubokawa Takahiro scoffed dismissively: "Aren’t you chatting every day just to get a girlfriend? In the end, you deny yourself, I can’t understand how your brain makes such a turn in this regard."

"It’s different."

"What’s different? Time? No time to unfriend all past love interests while dating your girlfriend?"

"It’s different." Goto Iwao remained firm in his view.

"Fine, I can’t convince you, let Uesugi do it," Tsubokawa Takahiro turned around, only to find he had already walked far away, "Uesugi?"

In the distance, Uesugi Sakura only left them with a gradually receding figure.

"Sigh, let’s go," Goto Iwao, seeming still troubled by the earlier incident, sighed, "Later, I’ll still need Uesugi’s help, Akino’s sister is too difficult to deal with."

Tsubokawa Takahiro recalled Ogata Asaka earlier: "Hmm, that cold Senior Sister seemed to give Uesugi quite a bit of face, not sure why."

"Do you know?" he asked.

"No idea," Goto Iwao replied.

The two exchanged a glance, having no clue, they just followed Uesugi Sakura towards the classroom.

——————

Returning to the classroom, it was close to class time.

As Uesugi Sakura stepped into the classroom, he intentionally glanced at Hanamaru Hanabi’s forehead.

It was still a bit red, indicating a significant bump.

Should he help her apply some ointment tonight?

While pondering whether the injury needed ointment, Hanamaru Hanabi noticed him.

"Sakura-kun."

She showed a delighted, youthful smile.

That beautiful face accompanied by a faint red mark on her forehead was particularly charming.

Especially those soft cheeks.

The soft feeling of her cheeks still lingered on his guilty fingers.

Really, really, really wanted to squeeze her cheeks again.

Perhaps he could request it from her tonight when they get back?

She might agree?

With these thoughts, Uesugi Sakura’s steps back to his seat became much lighter, even the breeze brushing through the banyan trees outside brought him fresh, sweet air.

His mood suddenly turned joyful.
