Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard-Chapter 880 - 519: Perhaps... Hanabi Is Much More Skilled Than Me?

Chapter 880: Chapter 519: Perhaps... Hanabi Is Much More Skilled Than Me?

Following Kitagawa Sakisa all the way back to the art classroom where Hanabi and her friends were.

Every time Uesugi Sakura saw this room at the school, he couldn’t help but sigh, having money is great, you can live wherever you want. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"This house, the school really let you guys live here?"

"What else? Uesugi, you’ve been here so many times, and only now, you think to ask," Kitagawa Sakisa turned back and said, "Also, this isn’t arranged by the school for us to live in, I asked my family to find it for me."

"Are you really a young lady of a rich family?" Uesugi Sakura had known her status for a long time, but she never flaunted her identity, looking just like an ordinary girl.

Kitagawa Sakisa crossed her arms and frowned slightly: "Why so many questions today? If you don’t believe me, I can show you my bank card balance right now."

"Not interested." Uesugi Sakura didn’t want to be discouraged by her.

"Hmph, even if you wanted to see, I wouldn’t show you! I’ll secretly tell you that, by family ranking and Hanamaru family rules, you should actually take the Hanamaru name now."

"Marry into the family?"

"Yeah, you’re a Tokyo University graduate, most likely entering Kasumigaseki after graduation. With this civil servant status, wouldn’t you marry into the Hanamaru family for connections?" Kitagawa Sakisa counted on her fingers.

"Don’t tell me, you won’t rely on the Hanamaru connections?"

"Well..."

Uesugi Sakura wasn’t the kind of person to foolishly say: I’m not using connections, I’m relying on myself.

In reality, after years of grinding in society, one would find that in the end, connections and money are what’s real.

If he wanted to enter Kasumigaseki, which is a government department, if there is a Hanamaru family network to help him, he couldn’t possibly not use it, nor be unaffected by it.

Because by marrying Hanabi-chan, in some people’s eyes, you’re completely a part of the Hanamaru family.

Entering the "art research lab," Uesugi Sakura saw two familiar white PS5s in front of the sofa, along with two LCD screens.

Actually, he hadn’t come by recently, and no one was there to accompany Kitagawa Sakisa in gaming, so she must have been quite bored.

Uesugi Sakura saw Hanabi-chan and Kyujuu Rika busy in the kitchen. Without disturbing them, he greeted them, implying he’d arrived, and then went to sit on the sofa.

"Here, take this."

Uesugi Sakura looked up and took the coffee drink Kitagawa Sakisa handed over to him.

He glanced at the label on the canned drink — Geisha coffee. She really only chooses the expensive ones, not necessarily the best.

Although Geisha isn’t bad among canned coffees, it’s hard to justify its price of 3999 yen per can.

Is it that rich people are just this willful?

Uesugi Sakura pulled the tab and took a gentle sip of the coffee.

A bit bitter, but with a sweet aftertaste.

The taste was alright.

Kitagawa Sakisa sat down on the sofa next to him, holding a 120g bag of potato chips, casually turned on the TV, and asked:

"Right, Uesugi, aren’t you writing a light novel? What’s the status now?"

Uesugi Sakura stared at the coffee drink for a moment, thought for a bit, then frowned and said, "It should be, seems like it will be published in the next few days? I even forgot, I think I participated in this year’s newcomer’s award."

He remembered he should be writing the second volume of his novel.

But recently, there’s been no time to write.

"Oh?" Kitagawa Sakisa was interested, turned her head holding the chips to look at him, "What light novels are you competing against?"

"You don’t read books, why should I tell you?"

Kitagawa Sakisa thought he was deliberately giving her a hard time, got upset, and said, "Uesugi Sakura, don’t underestimate me! Even if I can’t get into light novels, I can get into anime, once your novel is adapted into an anime, I’d be your fan, right?"

Uesugi Sakura didn’t resist talking to her about this stuff, after thinking, he said:

"I remember three books, ’My Sister is the Strongest Dominator in the World,’ ’Love Game Tastes Like Mint,’ ’The Girl Who Calls Me Ancestor is My Ancestor.’"

"What kind of weird names are these?" Kitagawa Sakisa looked utterly disdainful.

"It’s light novels, that’s how they are." Uesugi Sakura said indifferently.

In today’s Japanese light novels, all kinds of genres are developed, even NTR can be written as pure love novels, which is really a unique path.

"What’s your novel called, I’ll go buy a copy on the release day."

"’Firework Love.’"

"Pfft!" Kitagawa Sakisa couldn’t hold back her laughter, covering her mouth with one hand.

"What are you laughing at?" Uesugi Sakura looked at her with the coffee can in hand.

"Haha," Kitagawa Sakisa couldn’t help but laugh, covering her mouth, "Of course, I’m laughing at the title. Are you sure you didn’t use yourself and Hanabi as the basis for the novel?"

"Well, there’s a bit of that, since the heroine is written based on Hanabi."

"Written based on Hanabi?" Kitagawa Sakisa became interested immediately, "Then I must buy it and take a look!"

Uesugi Sakura half-closed his eyes: "Didn’t you just say you’ll support me? How come now it’s turned into supporting because of Hanabi?"

"Since you told me the heroine is Hanabi-chan, the focus naturally shifted."

Uesugi Sakura took another light sip of coffee, looked at Hanamaru Hanabi, who was busy in the kitchen with seemingly sweaty forehead: "You seem to really like Hanabi, why?"

"Uesugi... haven’t I told you before? Because back then, besides Kyujuu Rika, Hanabi-chan was my only friend. Now, I’ve got Rie-chan too, as for you, Uesugi—"
