Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard
Chapter 730 - 442: One in a Trillion
CHAPTER 730: CHAPTER 442: ONE IN A TRILLION
As soon as Uesugi Sakura noticed Towa Rina looking at her with a peculiar expression, she knew what kind of scenario was playing out in her mind.
"Don’t get the wrong idea, this is Hanabi."
The strange expression on Towa Rina’s face immediately eased up a lot upon hearing this.
Then, her gaze shifted to Hanamaru Hanabi’s face, as if seeking confirmation from her.
Hanamaru Hanabi nodded at this point, indicating her identity to her.
"Whew~ What a scare," Towa Rina patted her chest, breathing a sigh of relief. She almost thought she heard something shocking, like they were already at the stage of taking a pregnancy test!
Uesugi Sakura then asked, "You weren’t thinking wrongly, were you?"
"Ah!? This... haha, of course not, of course not!" Towa Rina kept laughing, as if trying to hide her embarrassment with laughter, "Speaking of which, Hanabi-chan really looks a lot like her sister, I can’t tell them apart at all, haha... haha... I’ll just go in first, you two chat, you two chat."
With a smile, Towa Rina opened the door and entered the café, leaving the two of them outside.
Jingle~
As the welcoming bell rang at the door, Towa Rina looked at the café in front of her and, as usual, headed to the staff room to change clothes.
However, beneath her facade of forced composure, she was constantly feeling relieved in her heart, thankful that she was just a little bit away from creating a big misunderstanding.
After all, no matter how unfortunate Uesugi might be, he wouldn’t get to the point of taking a pregnancy test with Hanami-chan.
Outside the café, Uesugi Sakura and Hanamaru Hanabi were still facing each other.
"Rina just now... looked like she had a strange expression," Hanamaru Hanabi said.
"Actually, Hanabi, you know what she was thinking, right?"
"Yeah," Hanamaru Hanabi nodded in agreement, keeping her gaze on his eyes, "It’s all because Kai-kun said something weird..."
"I... didn’t," Uesugi Sakura was at a loss for words, realizing that things needed to be clarified, "This was all because of another Hanabi, making her have another layer of misunderstanding."
"Hanabi wasn’t talking about that, Hanabi was talking about Kai-kun suddenly asking about the pregnancy test question just now..." At this point, Hanamaru Hanabi’s little face turned slightly red, and she muttered quietly, "Who talks about that kind of thing outside... Kai-kun, have some shame!"
"This..."
Uesugi Sakura also had nothing to say about this, "Alright, this is my fault."
"To prevent this kind of thing in the future, Kai-kun you have to promise Hanabi one thing."
"Okay, go ahead." Uesugi Sakura nodded.
"You’re not allowed... especially outside, you’re not allowed to talk about anything lewd!"
Lewd stuff?
Uesugi Sakura was a bit unsure, trying to ask the girl, "Was the pregnancy test question just now... considered lewd...?"
"Anyway, anyway!" Hanamaru Hanabi was startled, and then her little face seemed to turn crimson from holding her words back, "Anyway, you’re not allowed to discuss anything related to lewd stuff, if others hear it... how... how would Hanabi face anyone..."
By the end, Hanamaru Hanabi’s cute side profile had completely lowered itself, hiding her eyes from view.
"What if Hanabi-chan brings it up herself?" Uesugi Sakura said, looking at her smooth hair.
"Hanabi, Hanabi wouldn’t..."
"You wouldn’t, but—"
Hanamaru Hanabi leaned a little closer to him, tugging at his sleeve, indicating he should drop the topic.
Not to mention, Uesugi Sakura really liked her small actions, as it made him feel like she was relying on him.
If you pay a little attention now and take a closer look at her, you’d find she’s such an adorable and shy girl.
"Alright, let’s not talk about that."
Uesugi Sakura couldn’t help but gently hold her hand and asked:
"Do you want a milk coffee?"
"Yeah," Hanamaru Hanabi nodded without hesitation, "I want some... Kai-kun’s milk coffee tastes the best."
"Glad you like it, it’s a special one just for Hanabi."
"A special one?"
"Yes, a special one, the coffee I make for other customers only contains the knowledge I have, but the coffee I make for Hanabi has love pouring into it, love for Hanabi-chan, love for a wife, love for a lover."
The more Uesugi Sakura spoke, the more exaggerated it became, Hanamaru Hanabi slightly forcefully withdrew her hand from his grasp, interlocking her fingers and placing them in front of her dress as she buried her face and pursed her lips.
All her actions were seen by Uesugi Sakura, who understood she was always that innocent girl.
She would be happy because of an obviously flattering remark, and saddened for a long time by an unintended distasteful emotion from him.
Uesugi Sakura understood this mindset of hers, and because he understood, he wanted to cherish her all the more.
"Is there any gift Hanabi-chan wants recently?"
Hanamaru Hanabi looked at the pendant on her chest and shook her head, indicating no.
"Kai-kun, you should really, really get to work soon..."
The mimi café used to open in the morning, but recently, all the customers started gathering in the afternoon.
Therefore, the manager now only uses the morning for purchasing and preparing the ingredients and materials needed for the afternoon, without officially opening.
Typically, Towa Rina is the first employee to arrive at the store.
Today, the two of them were among the first employees to arrive.
After changing into her maid outfit and putting on cat ears in the staff room, Hanamaru Hanabi politely greeted two customers before sitting outside at the balcony seating on the second floor, enjoying the sunlight.
This was considered the café’s VIP seating, the little balcony.
