Chapter 218: Chapter 189: Suddenly It RainsThe sun at the sports festival is exceptionally dazzling. The light falls on the lush leaves, dyeing the branches of the broad-leaved tree where Kitagawa Sakisa’s black dress is with green. Facing Kawase Nanami’s inquiry, Kyujuu Rika certainly wouldn’t talk about wetting the bed as a child, as it would damage her authority as the class president. After a few perfunctory words, she called Ayaka Rie to go to the storage room next to the school building and, with the teacher’s permission, brought back a ladder. Seeing the lifesaver tool, Kitagawa Sakisa, who was dozing while hugging the tree trunk, instantly perked up. She smiled happily and waved down below, saying, "Rika, you’re so slow." "Nonsense!" Kyujuu Rika retorted unceremoniously, placing the ladder against the tree trunk. She looked up and shouted at her, "Alright, come down quickly." Ayaka Rie walked over to Hanamaru Hanabi and asked, "She shouldn’t be a student from our school, right?" "I haven’t seen her anyway." Kawase Nanami watched Kitagawa carefully as she climbed down the ladder. Thump... The wind on the ground lifted the hem of Kitagawa Sakisa’s skirt as she stepped down. Fallen leaves also flew with the dust in the wind. She very elegantly performed a lady-like courtesy to everyone in front of her, "Nice to meet you all, my name is Kitagawa Sakisa. I’m an old acquaintance of Rika’s from childhood. Please take care of me." As a return, everyone introduced themselves. Only Hanamaru Hanabi couldn’t help but glance at her a few more times when introducing herself. Kyujuu Rika: "Why did you come to our school? And what happened to the injury on your face?" "Hmph hmph~" Kitagawa Sakisa slightly raised her head and closed her eyes, saying, "Looking for someone." "Didn’t you run away from home?" "Running away from home doesn’t stop me from coming to your school to find someone." Kyujuu Rika looked up at the trunk of the sturdy broad-leaved tree, "So you climbed our school’s tree and got stuck up there?" "That... that was a mistake!" Kitagawa Sakisa did her best to look serious, "Yesterday, I wasn’t stuck up there." "Then why are you stuck up a tree today?" Kitagawa Sakisa patted her stomach through her skirt confidently, "I was hungry and had no energy." "It’s the first time I’ve seen someone speak so self-righteously about being hungry." "It’s the truth." Kitagawa Sakisa lowered her head and checked her skirt to see if it was dirty. Kyujuu Rika knew about her running away from home, "Didn’t your brother give you enough money?" "He’s so stingy, he only gave me 500,000 yen, which isn’t enough for a week’s food." "I doubt anyone would dare to support you in the future." Kyujuu Rika had little faith in her future, "Back to business, what did you come to our school for? This is considered illegal entry, you know." "I’m looking for someone!" Kitagawa Sakisa patted her pretty lace black dress and angrily said, "Looking for someone named Uesugi Sakura, I decided last night, when I had nothing to eat, that I had to make him apologize!" Uesugi? Hearing this name, everyone instinctively looked at Hanamaru Hanabi, who hadn’t said much. ———————— The Kendo Department, considered a temporary training session before the sports festival. Uesugi Sakura sat in the rest area, eating a cheap ice pop bought with the leftover 100 yen from the morning. He was just there to show his face so the Kendo Department members wouldn’t forget what their General looked like. Kendo, just watching them do Kanji practice and sparring already felt hot. It also requires bursting out the Qi Union and shouting loudly all the time. Participating in competitions is so tiring, is there any job that lets you lie down and earn money? Uesugi didn’t want to put in any effort anymore, just wanted to be taken care of by a young rich woman. Hmm... being supported by Hanabi would be pretty nice. She would probably be very willing to take care of his daily needs. However, according to his father-in-law’s wishes, he would have to change his surname to Hanamaru. Hanamaru Sakura? Thinking about it, why is he so unambitious? He had promised to fish his way to the pinnacle of life. Speaking of which, being ambitious and wanting to slack off seem to be opposites. Hanamaru Yugetsu took off his sunglasses, walked over, and sat next to Uesugi Sakura. "You’ve been doing well lately, huh?" "Why do you say that?" Uesugi Sakura didn’t look at Hanamaru Yugetsu beside him. "I can tell from your face; it exudes a spring aura." "Yeah, yeah," Uesugi Sakura said perfunctorily, "Where’s Uncle Yugetsu’s spring then?" Hanamaru Yugetsu laughed, "Your Uncle Yugetsu experiences spring every day; have you ever heard of a delightful spring breeze? I’m the one standing in it, welcoming the spring breeze." Uesugi Sakura knew he was boasting, so he didn’t respond. The kendo hall was filled with the sound of bamboo swords clashing and the profound roars of Qi Union. Uesugi Shio had been running the Kendo Department well, at least everyone’s sweat in summer couldn’t lie. Uesugi Sakura enjoyed the sweet ice pop, the cool feeling lingering in his heart: "By the way, why does Uncle keep going to those kinds of places?" "Kabuki-cho?" Hanamaru Yugetsu didn’t turn back, casually took a bottle of cold soda with dewdrops on it next to him, and drank it. Even if it wasn’t his. —Without alcohol, he only liked drinking soda. "Do you want to know?" "I’m afraid one day you’ll pass out there and not be conscious." Hanamaru Yugetsu said indifferently, "There’s nothing really wrong with that." Uesugi Sakura glanced at his often-worn light blue casual outfit, "Uncle, you’re in such good condition; don’t you plan to find a girlfriend and get married again?" "I’m not like you, little Sakura," Hanamaru Yugetsu patted his shoulder in an elder fashion, "You can be so good with my niece and also have a fulfilling relationship." "Do you know who I like?" "Hmm?" "Shinetsu’s mother." Hanamaru Yugetsu put down the empty soda bottle he chugged, stood up, wore sunglasses, and left the Kendo Dojo where the bamboo sword sounds echoed. "I’ll go buy another bottle of soda."
