Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard-Chapter 785 - 468 Since I can’t increase the favorability, maybe I can do it secretly, right?_2

Chapter 785: Chapter 468 Since I can’t increase the favorability, maybe I can do it secretly, right?_2

As time slowly passed by, the only sound left in the room was the air conditioning blowing warm air up and down.

He couldn’t fall asleep, always wondering where he went wrong.

Was he too impatient?

Or maybe, does being in love lower one’s IQ to the point where he doesn’t know how to please a girl anymore?

Or perhaps...

Could it be possible that when Hanabi dated him before, she was always accommodating him, and the tactics that didn’t work on other girls worked because she liked him too much, adding a heavy filter that made everything he did seem good to her.

Uesugi Sakura turned over, looked at the shark plush lying beside him, hugged it, and clamped his legs around it, trying hard to imagine it as little Hanabi, then he closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.

Actually... even if he can’t hug little Hanabi, this shark plush, which smells like her, is a nice substitute.

...

Uesugi Sakura had a dream, a strange dream. In the summer, on a beach, Hanamaru Hanabi was wearing a swimsuit, playing chase with a moving shark plush, running farther and farther away.

In the end, she disappeared in front of him.

Uesugi Sakura didn’t know how to describe this feeling and just stared coldly at the shark plush he hugged in his arms when he woke up in the morning, staring at its "x"-shaped eyes for a long time.

With a push, he got up from the sofa, folded his sleeping blanket, and then, wearing slippers, prepared to wash up.

However, when he passed by the master bedroom where he and Hanabi usually slept, Uesugi Sakura couldn’t help but stop, turning robotically towards the bedroom door.

He looked at the bedroom door, thinking that little Hanabi must still be sleeping at this time, right?

She’s asleep, and she sleeps deeply, doesn’t that mean...

Uesugi Sakura’s mind was filled with endless imaginations.

Sleeping little Hanabi... as defenseless as a lamb...

Then, on the path of temptation, he placed his hand on the doorknob.

Pressed down.

Click...

The sound of the doorknob.

To be more precise, it was the sound of the doorknob being stuck.

Uesugi Sakura pressed as hard as he could, but it wouldn’t budge, not even with both hands.

He looked silently at the bedroom door in front of him.

Unexpectedly, little Hanabi had become smarter.

She knew he might ambush her at night, so she had already locked the bedroom door from the inside!

What to do now?

Uesugi Sakura was deep in thought; admitting defeat wasn’t his principle, his standard was refusing to lose. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He turned his head and inadvertently glanced at the balcony outside the living room.

He suddenly realized that maybe he could climb from the living room balcony to the bedroom balcony.

Uesugi Sakura immediately took big strides over, standing on the living room balcony and looking at the bedroom balcony across.

It did seem like there was a bit of distance.

Estimated about two meters.

His home was on the tenth or so floor, and a fall from here would be fatal.

But could such a thing stop him, Uesugi?

No, it couldn’t.

Uesugi Sakura immediately, still in slippers, went back to the living room, walked down the entrance, and left the house.

About three minutes later, he found a wooden board in the floor storage room that was slightly longer than two meters and carried it back inside.

Came to the balcony, he placed the wooden board between the two balconies, setting it firmly to create a stable wooden bridge.

Mission accomplished.

Uesugi Sakura nodded in satisfaction, then stepped back into the living room.

...

Soon after, a chubby orange cat jumped gracefully onto the balcony.

Its tail wagging, it elegantly trotted across the wooden board between the two balconies, even glancing at the high-altitude view of Tokyo along the way.

The wind outside was quite strong.

Arriving at the bedroom balcony, the cat Uesugi used its paw to slide open the balcony door and jumped right in.

He saw Hanamaru Hanabi sleeping soundly under the blanket on the bed.

The cat hopped onto the bed in just a few steps, nuzzling her sleeping little face with its head.

She smelled lovely, sweet, and her little face was especially soft and tender.

Little Hanabi was still wearing the loose T-shirt she wore last night, with a large neckline exposing her fair collarbone.

With over 40 times more olfactory cells than humans, the cat Uesugi nuzzled and nuzzled, closing its eyes in comfort, and before he knew it, he burrowed inside, leaving only two legs and a constantly wagging tail outside.

Moreover, apart from its large neckline, Hanabi didn’t usually wear a bra to sleep.

...

While sleeping, Hanamaru Hanabi suddenly felt something ticklish, as if something furry was tickling her nose.

In a half-asleep state, she tried shaking her head, but still felt that ticklish furry sensation.

She slowly opened her eyes and, once adjusted to the light, was startled to find a cat’s butt and two cat legs wiggling in front of her.

"Ah!"

Startled, Hanamaru Hanabi jolted upright in bed.

Simultaneously, the cat Uesugi was entirely lifted, dropped backward into the loose neckline of her T-shirt.

Hanamaru Hanabi was still in a daze from just waking up and hadn’t seen clearly what it was, she only knew something soft was squirming around inside her shirt.

Ticklish and incessantly moving, occasionally touching places that made her blush.

Before long, Uesugi the cat’s head dangled at her T-shirt neckline.

Hanamaru Hanabi looked at the cat head stuck at her chest: "..."

She grabbed it by the scruff, pulling him out of her shirt.

As he slowly rotated mid-air, Hanamaru Hanabi, very angry, looked at his seemingly innocent cat face:

"Sakura-kun!!"

Uesugi Sakura wanted to explain, but due to his cat form, he could only let out "meow~ meow~" like a kitten in trouble.

...

The daytime antics ended with Uesugi Sakura losing 20 affection points.

Actually, he didn’t plan to stay for long at first, just wanted to nuzzle his wife and head back, but having not turned into a cat for so long, he forgot—cats’ sense of smell is much stronger than humans’.

Approaching Hanamaru Hanabi... her scent... was more potent than catnip.

The two stood in the washroom, Hanamaru Hanabi blushing as she looked up at him:

"Sakura-kun... always thinking of weird actions! Not taking the relationship seriously..."

"I just... didn’t see you all night, missed you too much." As Uesugi Sakura tried to explain, even he felt it was a weak excuse.

"Sakura-kun... just wants to be indecent..." Hanamaru Hanabi turned her head, murmuring while drying her face with a towel from the warm water basin.

Normally, others wouldn’t hear her, but Uesugi Sakura heard it clearly and immediately explained:

"It’s.. really not like that... it’s just like- getting addicted to cuddling a cat, hanna-chan understands, right? It’s uncontrollable."

Seeing her not responding, he circled around her and said with a smile:

"It’s only because I like you so much, and Hanabi-chan is just too adorable, so I... just kidding."

"Is... that so?" Hanamaru Hanabi put down the towel, her hair slightly messy on her forehead from the wash.

"Of course, of course! Little Hanabi is the most adorable girl in the world." Uesugi Sakura wasn’t sure if she’d be happy with such childlike coaxing.

"I’m... not actually mad at you, Sakura-kun," Hanamaru Hanabi said in a soft voice, turning to look at him with her clean face, puffing her cheeks, "but! Sakura-kun can’t cheat! We agreed to play a love game, and if Sakura-kun cheats again... you won’t see Hanabi for a whole week!"

Uesugi Sakura, being the one at fault, could only agree:

"Okay, okay, I promise you."

"Also..." Hanamaru Hanabi murmured softly.

"What else?"

"When Sakura-kun turns into a cat, how could..." Hanamaru Hanabi started but didn’t finish, instead looking down at her slightly bulging chest.
