In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 212 Fireworks Festival (4)

The big shark and the two game consoles have been taken to grandpa by the cousin.

The old man has a car there, just to put his things.

Continuing to walk in the splendid night market, a variety of small carts and stalls are distributed on both sides.

The lights here are brilliant, and the orange lanterns on each booth make it very lively.

There was a vague aroma of barbecue, overflowing among the laughter of the crowd.

Hanamaru Hanabi's nose sniffed lightly, and the light of the lamps flowed in the bright purple eyes.

In front of the house surrounded by people, an uncle in a white scarf is busy making octopus balls.

"Want to eat?" Uesugi Kai put down his hand, and the cuffs fell down.

I have to say that the loose bathrobe is extremely comfortable, and the feeling of silk is like a girl's smooth and tender hands touching the skin.

"I want to eat, but Kai-kun can't pay for it this time." Hanamaru Hanabi raised her small face and looked at him.

"Why can't you pay, Mr. Kai?"

"Kai-kun. He treats guests every time. He often brings cake and milk over in the morning. Hanabi is very sorry."

Hanamaru Hanako followed beside her, and the clogs on her cute little feet barely made any sound.

"Although it's a small thing, Hanabi still wants to do something for Kai-kun."

The two are very close, even if the smell of takoyaki fills his nose, Kai Uesugi can still smell her good smell.

"When Xiao Hanabi is thanking Kai-kun, she always forgets what she has done."

"What is it?" Hanamaru Hanabi asked, she always felt that she was not performing well enough.

"Isn't my lunch, dinner, and clothes all covered by Hanabi?" Kai Uesugi said, "Housework is a very troublesome thing, at least I don't like to do it.

"It's not easy for Xiao Huahuo to persist in doing this without complaining."

Hanamaru Hanabi's heart surged with hot emotions, she turned her head and said, "It's the first time Hanabi is Kai-kun's girlfriend, and she doesn't know how to date, so she only does these things."

"Being a girlfriend for the first time?" Uesugi Kai put on a slight smile on his mouth, staring into her brightly lit eyes, so there is a second time?Xiao Huahuo wants to break up with Kai-kun and reconcile? "

"D-Of course it doesn't mean that!"

Hanamaru Hanabi once again raised her little cherry-red face to meet his smiling eyes. The hairpin and short hair at the same time outlined the girl's cuteness, "As long as Kai-kun doesn't mention it, Hanabi will never leave Kai-kun."

She has said so many times.

She said that she would always and always be with her, no matter how useless she was, she would never leave.

Kai Uesugi stared into her eyes, feeling warm in his heart, subconsciously hooked the weak girl with his right hand.

Her existence, her tenderness, are conveyed from the hands that hold each other.

"Okay, Xiao Huahuo treats you today."

The two had already walked to the takoyaki stall. The sign said 750 yen per serving. The uncle rolled up his sleeves and was busy at the stall.

Hanamaru Hanabi is actually a snack, as long as Uesugi feeds her, she can eat anything.

Perhaps this has something to do with his habit of feeding food since he was a child.

After all, there was a poor little girl who was always by his side, and Uesugi, who was a bit of an uncle, felt sorry for not selling her something to eat.

So from a very early age, he had the habit of buying her something to eat.

In front of the house, many people are waiting for the new small balls to be released.

Takoyaki is actually a ball of batter sandwiched with various minced meat and vegetables.

The uncle of the stall owner first pours the oil on the mold with many round depressions, and then pours the batter with eggs into it.

When it sizzles, put the prepared minced octopus, dried shrimp, chopped onion, and diced cabbage in order.

Then pour some batter, spread it evenly over the entire mold, and turn over one by one with chopsticks after baking evenly.

Finally, brush with mayonnaise, squeeze salad, and sprinkle some seaweed and bonito flakes.

The octopus balls with rich taste and juicy taste are done.

"Guest, your takoyaki." The takoyaki uncle wearing a turban handed out a delicate small box.

Of course, it wasn't Xiao Huahuo's turn yet, she could only watch the steaming soft glutinous balls run into other people's hands.

Uesugi Kai, who was waiting on the sidelines while Hanabi was queuing up in front of the yatai to buy takoyaki, called someone.

"Hey."

The voice on the other end of the phone came, mixed with some strange movements.

Uesugi Kai frowned, "What's that voice over there?"

"Hey, Galgame."

Takahiro Tsubokawa turned off the computer sound with a smile, held the phone in his hand and said, "Our Uesugi is not going to complete the vacation trip, why call here? Did you miss me?"

Uesugi ignored his teasing, "Do you want to give you a game console?"

"Game console? What game console?"

"PS5."

"what!?"

Kaoru Uesugi heard the sound of the table being slapped and the glass shattering.

"Uesugi. No, Uesugi-san! Where did you get the PS5!?"

"Is this thing rare?"

"Ultra-rare, okay! The main reason is that you can't buy it. Now you have to rely on the lottery qualification to buy it, and the dealer even speculated for 30 yen on the Internet!"

Takahiro Tsubokawa became more and more excited as he talked, and began to count how powerful the game machine was, explaining all the parameters.

"Speaking of which, there was a Blu-ray drive version of PS5 on eBay (trading website) before, and the bidding price reached 25100 US dollars."

About 280 million yen, 17 yuan.

"So much?" Uesugi Kai opened his mouth slightly, so he could resell and earn several million?

Tsubokawa Takahiro: "It's cheaper now, and the regular version is not that exaggerated."

Uesugi: "Isn't it 49998 yen?"

This is what the stall owner said.

Takahiro Tsubokawa: "Look at the price on the official website, I'm sure I'm not eligible to buy it at this price now. But do you really want to give me one? Where did you get it?"

Uesugi Kai: "The prizes for participating in the shooting game at the Fireworks Festival here are mainly because I don't play games very much. I saw you talking about it every day, so I gave it to you."

Takahiro Pingchuan smiled on the other side of the phone: "That boss must have suffered a lot."

He went on to say: "I'm not hypocritical, this thing is still too expensive, are you sure you want to give it to me?"

Uesugi Kai: "Give it to you."

"Brother Uesugi!!"

A loud and deep voice of thanks immediately came from the phone, "From now on, you, Uesugi, will be my big brother who I, Pingchuan, have had a drink with!"

A "cup" is a special large saucer used for drinking in Japan, which is three times larger than the face.

Uesugi Kai: "There is no need to talk about empty words. I will post that game console back to you in a few days. I mainly want to call you to ask about one thing."

Takahiro Tsubokawa: "Please say it!!"

Kai Uesugi: "You know that Yako-chan, right?"

Takahiro Tsubokawa: "Yako-chan? (Silent for a while, suddenly realizes) Oh~! I remembered my wife who only got out after 8 classes."

Since she is your wife, why did you have to remember it in silence for so long?
Kaoru Uesugi thought to himself.

He is different, he remembers the day when his wife secretly sniffed his sheets.

Although Xiao Huahuo is still unwilling to admit it.

Kai Uesugi continued: "Is Yako-chan going to release a summer swimsuit recently?"

Takahiro Tsubokawa was surprised and said: "Damn it! It's going to be a swimsuit!? It seems that I have to go back! (Quiet for a second) No, how can Uesugi play this kind of otaku game now? You also know that my wife wants A limited edition swimsuit."

"Oh~ I see, Uesugi, you must be an otaku too, right? You must have cleared all the Galgamg I introduced to you before."

Kai Uesugi: "I haven't played it, it's just that Yako-chan's stand-e was drawn by Hanabi."

"It was drawn by Hanamaru-san!!"

Takahiro Tsubokawa: "Yako-chan is awesome! If it wasn't for Tachie's good looks, who would play that broken game, but Hanamaru-san switched to illustration? I remember she was a watercolor painter."

"She's been doing this recently." Kai Uesugi glanced at Hanamaru Hanabi who was at the front, and said, "I just want to ask you how much an illustration like Yako-chan's costs."

"Then you are asking the right person. As a senior nerd, I am qualified to answer this question."

Takahiro Tsubokawa began to analyze, "Based on the color, composition, concept, and background of Yako-chan's vertical painting... Well, at least one piece should not be less than one million yen."

"What the hell?" Uesugi Kai thought he said it so casually.

Takahiro Tsubokawa: "Don't believe it, this kind of illustrations is considered the top part. Anyway, I haven't seen many feet that are so sexy."

Kai Uesugi agrees with this, "But it's not as exaggerated as a million yen."

Takahiro Tsubokawa: "Brother Uesugi, this is an illustration for a game, not an illustration for a toilet paper light novel. It is much more complete and has to be colored. You can compare it to see how big the difference is!

"A character like Yako-chan can at least bring billions of yen to the production company. The upcoming swimsuit must be limited to summer, and players will definitely be overwhelmed. Anyway, it's all money."

"."

Billions?
Kaoru Uesugi was silent, he remembered that Hanabi told him that she was paid 1 yen for that illustration.

"Okay, hang up first."

Tsubokawa Takahiro: "Okay, but how much is Hanamaru's salary for Yako-chan's paintings? I really want to know more about the recent market. I also want to learn illustration. Recently, funds are a bit tight."

"Ten thousand yen."

Hanging up the phone, pinching the phone in his hand, Kai Uesugi took a deep breath and looked up at the crescent moon and faintly twinkling stars in the night sky.

The remuneration is 1 yen, and the one I am painting recently is 2 yen.

This is not guaranteed to be cheated by the production company! ?
Hanamaru Hanabi had already walked over from the front of the house, and handed out a steaming box with a small hand, "Kai-kun, for your takoyaki, Hanabi asked the stall owner to add more salad dressing."

"."

"What's the matter? Kai-kun, don't you want to eat?"

Hanamaru Hanabi found that he was looking at him all the time, "Is there something on Hanabi's face?"

Uesugi Kai squeezed her soft face, "Silly girl."

Hanamaru Hanabi shrank her neck and looked up at him: "Did Hanabi do something wrong again?"

"It's Xiao Hanabi who is too stupid." He took the takoyaki she handed over.

"Hanabi. Not stupid."

The girl in the bathrobe thought about it again, then lowered her head slightly, "It's not too stupid."

"Stupid." Uesugi Kai inserted a small octopus ball, blew a few times, and handed it to her mouth.

"Then Kai-kun doesn't hate you?" Hanamaru Hanabi looked up at him.

"For Hanabi, stupidity is also part of the cuteness." Uesugi Kai watched her lightly take a bite of the octopus balls he handed out.

I saw thick juice and soft waxy flowing between the girl's cherry lips. In this night market where people come and go, it is so beautiful.

"That means you don't hate it?" Hanamaru Hanabi saw that he ate the half-eaten octopus balls into his mouth.

Uesugi Kai smiled: "The cute little Hanabi is also reluctant to hate."

Let's talk about the matter of being cheated later, today is a firework festival.

For him, the fireworks among the fireworks will be more splendid than ever.

The crowd in the night market was not as large as when we first came here. Kai Uesugi glanced at the dial and quickly stopped Hanabi from continuing to eat:

"Don't eat yet, let's find a good place to sit first."

Mitsuhama, Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture.

This year's Fireworks Festival is jointly organized by the Heisei Funeral Group, the Matsuyama Port Festival Promotion Association and the Japan Fireworks Association.

This is a coastal area, so as many as 1 fireworks will bloom on the sea. It is the largest firework festival in Shikoku. The No. 2000 jade fireworks unfolding on the sea will cover the entire night sky.

The girl in the yukata was held by the person in front of her. As she walked, the wisteria flower hairpin next to her ear shone brightly.

The two were getting further and further away from the crowd.

"Kai-kun, aren't you going to watch the fireworks now?"

"Correct."

Hanamaru Hanabi turned around, and they were already some distance away from the night market.

"But, the place to watch the fireworks is on the beach."

Continue to walk in the almost deserted streets.

"There are too many people in that place, and you can only watch the fireworks when you squeeze in the crowd."

"So where are we going now?"

Hanamaru Hanabi looked around, but couldn't find any good places. When she raised her head, she found a coastal apartment. "Are you going to see the roof?"

"Of course not." Said Uesugi Kai, grabbed her hand tightly and quickened his pace.

At this time, an incomparably bright light cut through the night sky.

After a brief pause, it exploded instantly.

The heart-thumping dazzling light immediately illuminated the street and the faces of the two people below.

The first firework of the firework festival blooms brilliantly.

"Open, it's started." Hanamaru Hanabi looked at the sky and said slowly.

"Go, quicken the pace."

Kaoru Uesugi grabbed her, grabbed her right hand, and moved his legs forward.

"Wait, wait! Kai-kun."

Hanamaru Hanabi's slender body was pulled forward by him, "Hanabi is wearing clogs and can't run—— Kai-kun!"

"We have to hurry up."

Kaoru Uesugi directly supported her petite shoulders while hugging her legs.

The girl was hugged in front of him.

Even though she has been hugged many times, this posture of a princess hug still makes the girl Hanamaru Hanabi's heart throb, and a faint blush creeps up on her cheeks.

Uesugi Kai smiled lightly at the little face in his arms:
"Put your left hand on my neck, and hold the takoyaki with your right hand. I'll eat it later."

"Okay, okay" Hanamaru Hanabi obeyed obediently, reaching out to touch his neck.

"Hold tight."

Kai Uesugi took his own steps and started running towards the pier.

One step, another step, at this time, several fireworks bloomed in the night sky, shaking the hearts of everyone below, even if they were far away, they could still hear the exclamation from the beach.

Hanamaru Hanabi looked at his running profile from below, and the shock brought by his every step was well conveyed to her body.

Gradually, his pace became faster and faster, and the fireworks in the night became more and more brilliant.

In Hanamaru Hanabi's eyes, his face reflected the blooming fireworks in the sky, the night wind howled past his face, and warmth came from his running arms.

Everything made the girl feel his appearance.

"Kai-kun." Hanamaru Hanabi shouted a little foolishly, her purple eyes staring at him motionless.

"What's wrong?" Uesugi Kai responded while running.

"Hanabi. I really like Kai-kun."

The sound of fireworks blooming resounded in the ears of the two of them.

"Kai-kun also likes Hanabi, but we will talk about these things later, when we sit down." Uesugi Kai, who was running, had already seen the pier, where a small boat was docked.

However, in Hanamaru Hanabi's eyes now, there is only his appearance under the night of fireworks.

Peace of mind, warmth, throbbing.
