Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard-Chapter 759 - 455: Daily Life and the Mysterious Date Proposed by Hanabi_2

Chapter 759: Chapter 455: Daily Life and the Mysterious Date Proposed by Hanabi_2

"Back at the comic convention, Sakura-chan always wanted Hanabi to wear it, and now Hanabi almost wears it every day. Does this mean Sakura-chan thinks it’s boring?" Hanamaru Hanabi wasn’t too happy.

"No," Uesugi Sakura quickly denied, "No, it’s just that I’m usually too busy, and you’re always working in the kitchen, so I haven’t had a chance to really admire how cute you are."

"As long as Sakura-chan likes it! But..."

"But what?" Uesugi Sakura asked.

"Just now, Hanabi seemed to see Rikai holding the novel Sakura-chan wrote." Hanamaru Hanabi rested her cheek on one hand, her face puffing up as if she was sulking, "Sakura-chan~ don’t you know she likes you? You should have less contact with her."

"This is... just ordinary friends interacting, she hasn’t been too... aggressive... or anything."

"Sakura-chan wants to say ’intimate contact’, right?"

Hanamaru Hanabi’s cute face instantly seemed to darken, "Sakura-chan, Sakura-chan, Sakura-chan absolutely cannot have intimate contact with other girls, whatever they can give Sakura-chan, Hanabi can give at several times the cost."

The cloud of gloom vanished instantly, turning into sunny radiance.

The girl asked adorably:

"Okay?"

"Okay." Uesugi Sakura could only agree.

"Hanabi wants to go on a date with Sakura-chan today, will Sakura-chan agree?"

"A date? Sure, I’ll definitely agree, but where to?"

"Hehe, it’s a secret, I’ll tell you tonight."

Hanamaru Hanabi giggled cutely and then ran off.

In the afternoon, the guests reluctantly waved goodbye to the cats, and the round blue cat finally broke free from the guests’ clutches and jumped onto the bar counter.

"Meow! (Damn humans, one day we will conquer you all)" the cat looked toward the store entrance.

Uesugi Sakura glanced at the lucky cat sitting on the bar counter: "How was it playing with your little pals?"

The cat casually turned its head: "Meow. (Those three little tots? They’re still too young to join my harem.)"

A harem?

Uesugi Sakura stared at the blue cat, suddenly remembering that all three kittens were female, and only it was male.

Once those three little kittens mature, won’t they all be ruined by this guy?

Uesugi Sakura’s gaze shifted downward.

Maybe it’s better to just neuter this guy.

The cat waved its paw at him: "Meow~ (Is the boss’s mate also in this base?)"

"You know?" Uesugi Sakura was slightly surprised, not knowing why it referred to the café as a base.

"Meow~ (That not-so-pretty one, right?)"

"Not pretty? Are you sure?" Uesugi Sakura wasn’t sure now whether it referred to Hanabi or not.

"Meow. (Yeah, that short-haired girl, she would look great as a female cat, just like my queen, and also, all humans are so ugly.)"

"Why?" Uesugi Sakura remembered its queen was a white female cat.

"Meow, meow meow (Their faces are so white, with no fur at all, it reminds me of a strange cat I saw before, completely hairless! Yet humans still cuddled it, looking so happy. How terrifying!)"

"..."

Alright, it’s not that Hanabi-chan isn’t pretty.

It’s just this cat’s aesthetics differ from those of humans.

Uesugi Sakura: "We agreed to give you a name this morning, Keke or Mimi, choose one."

The cat extended its paw and lay down: "Meow (The boss’s names are all terrible.)"

"Alright, you’ll be called Keke from now on."

"Meow! (Waves tail in protest.)"

"You’ll be named Keke, no negotiations, or else I’ll neuter you." Uesugi Sakura seized its nape.

What could it do? It couldn’t do anything, it was just a little kitty caught by the nape.

"Meow~ (Reluctantly accepts.)"

Ding-a-ling.

The bell tinkle of arriving customers.

"What a cute kitty!" A young woman walked in, her eyes sparkling as she stroked Keke’s plump body. She looked up to ask Uesugi Sakura inside the bar, "What’s its name?"

"Keke."

"Ah~" The young woman petted even more delightedly, "So it’s called Keke-chan, wow! Its tail’s moving, it must really like big sis, huh?"

"Meow~" Keke closed its eyes, purring in that unique feline way.

"Looking so content, it must be saying big sis is so pretty, right."

"Meow~"

"It even responded to big sis! How sweet!"

Uesugi Sakura felt it was best not to reveal what Keke’s "Meow~" meant.

The first "Meow~".

It was saying: human slaves, come serve us, yes, just like that.

The second "Meow~".

It was saying the woman in front was an ugly hairless biped.

"Good kitty, is big sis pretty?"

"Meow~ (Ugly.)"

Hearing a response, the young woman was even happier, petting faster: "Am I pretty?"

"Meow~ (No fur, so ugly.)"

"Ah ah ah ah ah! So sweet~~ Your meows are lovely too."

Uesugi Sakura watched from behind the bar, inwardly speechless.

When the woman had petted enough and left with her coffee, Keke stretched its rounded body on the counter, giving a cat yawn: "Meow~~ (Boss, humans are so foolish, truly just slaves meant to serve us.)"

Are you sure it’s not that humans don’t understand your cat language?

Keke elegantly strutted on the bar counter, meowing continuously: "Meow, meow meow. (Once we conquer the human planet, we must have ten queens to serve us, then let ten human women stroke our shiny fur.)"

No words to say.

"Uesugi, two medium black coffees, no sugar." Todaka Keichiro came to the bar counter and petted Keke’s head.

"Got it." Uesugi Sakura glanced at the two customers capturing photos of the three kittens on the other side.

...

Busy all afternoon.

Evening brought closing time, Uesugi Sakura watched downstairs as Todaka Keichiro excitedly chased after Kobashi Rikai on his scooter.

Thinking, their relationship should be progressing?

"Uesugi, Hanami, we’re leaving." Towa Rina, wearing a helmet, rode her electric bike, calling out to him and Hanamaru Hanabi.

"Okay, be safe on the road."

Uesugi Sakura watched that back fade at the street’s end, then turned to ask Hanamaru Hanabi beside him:

"So, what’s the date Hanabi-chan promised?"

"It’s a grand prize~"

"What grand prize?"

Hanamaru Hanabi, scarf wrapped, looked up at him, eyes gleaming: "You get to do continuous five-hour-long exercise with Hanabi!"

Uesugi Sakura froze.

He knew what she meant.

"Today?"

"Yes, tonight."

Hanamaru Hanabi, seeing his blank look, laughed and tucked his hand into her small coat pocket, "Kidding~ not that kind of date, but if Sakura-chan wants to be glued together for five hours, Hanabi would gladly oblige."

"Then what is it?" Uesugi Sakura asked.

"Camp-ing." Hanamaru Hanabi smiled as she said the two words.

"Camping? Today?"

"Yes, tonight. It’s only five in the afternoon now, if we hurry, we can get home in half an hour, take two hours to reach the mountain, and by eight, we can enjoy the night view from the top!"

"Really? Isn’t it a bit... too impulsive?"

"No worries, after all, neither Sakura-chan nor Hanabi has class tomorrow, and besides, if we’re on the mountain..."

Hanamaru Hanabi’s cute face showed an unidentified meaningful smile, her hands clutching his shoulders. She stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear: "If we’re on the mountain, with nobody around...Hanabi can also with Sakura-chan..."

Uesugi Sakura perked up more and more as he listened.

"How about it?" Hanamaru Hanabi’s hands were behind her back, skirt swaying gently in the breeze, her smiling face still cute and charming.

"Really?" Uesugi Sakura sounded unsure.

"Hanabi says it is... Sakura-chan, why so many questions today?"

"Alright!"

Uesugi Sakura readily agreed, telling Hanamaru Hanabi, "Let’s head home right now and go camping on the mountain for our date immediately!"
