Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard-Chapter 816 - 485: The Feeling of a Handshake

Until finishing lunch, Hanamaru Hanabi was constantly being asked questions by everyone.

Of course, she wouldn’t say a word more, just kept shaking her head, kept shaking her head.

About the folder thing, as Hanabi’s good friends, Kitagawa Sakisa and the others naturally felt it was inappropriate to ask.

Even though Uesugi Sakura was very curious about Hanabi’s secret, considering he had to listen to her for the upcoming days, asking too much might cause a backlash which wouldn’t be good.

But what exactly is in there?

Boys’ love? Yuri?

Some weird female-oriented works?

Uesugi Sakura didn’t recall Hanamaru Hanabi having such a hobby.

There’s a long break at noon.

Ayaka Rie and Kyujuu Rika were discussing their watercolor paintings not far away, and the idle Kitagawa Sakisa grabbed Hanamaru Hanabi to play games together.

Shooting games again, the realistic art style alone indicated it was quite hardcore.

"Hey! Hanabi, shoot! Don’t just let others hit you."

"Huh? Shoot... Which button is for shooting?"

"The trigger button at the lower left of the handle, here it comes!"

"Eh?"

"No worries, I wiped out the enemy."

"Oh, Sakisa, you’re amazing!"

"Hehe, awesome, right?"

Poor Hanabi could only hold the controller clumsily following behind Kitagawa Sakisa, watching her dominate the battlefield in front.

Uesugi Sakura sat on the sofa next to them.

He glanced at the TV showing Kitagawa Sakisa dominating with her little follower Hanamaru Hanabi, then looked back at the two of them.

"Sakisa, you’re amazing!" Hanabi’s eyes were full of admiration.

"Awesome, right!" Kitagawa Sakisa’s voice was filled with the confidence of protecting her little girlfriend.

Hmm?

Something’s off.

The current atmosphere, it’s completely off.

Normally, shouldn’t he be the one leading his wife through the game?

How did the person leading Hanabi in the game turn into Kitagawa Sakisa?

"Hanabi! Stay behind me!"

"Okay, alright." Hanamaru Hanabi nervously straightened her legs, her back stiffened, focused entirely on the TV screen, as if she was the medic in the game, though she actually had no idea what she should be doing.

Uesugi Sakura looked at the two large TVs and the two PS5s in front of him, not knowing how to criticize Kitagawa Sakisa.

Ever since he came to study at Tokyo Art University, she deliberately bought an extra set of equipment and put it in the art studio’s lounge.

Every noon after classes, she’d pull Uesugi Sakura to play shooting games, and sometimes she’d bring Hanamaru Hanabi along to play.

"Hmm..." Uesugi Sakura took a sip of hot tea, continuing to watch the two girls play games.

Kitagawa Sakisa, crouching in the grass pile, spotted a massive metal battle tank through the gaps in the leaves, and excitedly shouted: "Tiger tank! Hanabi, you hide here first, I’m going to take it down!"

Hanamaru Hanabi, clueless, could only nod: "Okay, alright!"

Uesugi Sakura calmly looked at the TV in front of Kitagawa Sakisa, thinking about how an infantry could deal with a modern tank.

"Charge!"

Then he watched her character rush forward, follow the slowly moving Tiger tank from behind, sneakily take out an anti-tank rocket launcher aiming at the tank’s rear.

Kitagawa Sakisa suddenly widened her eyes, pressed the trigger button on the controller: "Fire!!"

Boom!!

After a heavy sound of ignition, the rocket flew towards the Tiger tank’s rear.

The powerful firepower blasted the ground open, the soil under the tank’s wheels scorched black by the gunpowder flames.

Hit.

This...

Although Uesugi Sakura didn’t understand much about tanks, he knew Tiger tanks, as heavy machinery, had explosive-resistant armor; even in the game, one rocket probably wouldn’t take it down.

Sure enough, one anti-tank rocket could only send black smoke out of the tank.

Hanamaru Hanabi hiding in the grass: "Seems like... it didn’t work."

Just when Uesugi Sakura thought Kitagawa would give up, her character took out something resembling a plunger from behind, a long rod combined with a conical landmine.

Kitagawa Sakisa pressed the direction key and sprint key, the character immediately thrust out the rod charging towards the tank’s rear, and shouted loudly: "Take cover, banzai!"

Then... then that’s it, the player operating the tank noticed this tiny infantry, turned the turret, and fired a shot, Miss Kitagawa was utterly driven off the battlefield.

"Huh? So quick to react?"

Human-guided weapon, huh.

Uesugi Sakura saw the gray screen on the TV in front of her and couldn’t help but shake his head.

Shouting such slogans, these things are not worth advocating.

But it’s just a game, he didn’t want to lecture anyone about big principles.

Seeing her mission failed, Kitagawa Sakisa lost interest in playing this game.

"Hanabi, do you wanna keep playing?"

"I’m fine, anything’s good."

"Hmm... then let’s not play it, this game isn’t fun."

The two girls discussed for a while and switched to a cartoon-style game. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Indeed, this game suited them better, a cooperative puzzle-solving adventure game.

Not until one-thirty in the afternoon did Uesugi Sakura put down the book with a bit of tiredness.

He glanced at the clock, and said to the two next to him: "Sorry, it’s time to go to work."

"Huh?"

Hanamaru Hanabi also put down the controller, and said to Kitagawa Sakisa next to her: "Sakisa, Hanabi has to go to work, it’s time."

"Alright then, you guys take care."

Before leaving, he greeted Kyujuu Rika and Ayaka Rie who were focused on studying inside, then left the art studio.
