Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard Chapter 455 - 320: Love That’s Hard to Encounter

The wind chi at the shrine rang.

It seed to be responding to the call of the gods, bringing with it a gentle breeze that swept through the fallen leaves.

Clap, clap.

Two claps sounded, and a young girl stood in front of the worship hall, her hands clasped together, eyes closed, silently reciting her wish.

[Dear god, please! Let et a super handso boyfriend this year.]

The wind remained silent, or perhaps the crisp sound of the wind chi was the god’s response.

"Reiko, what did you wish for?"

The girl raised her head and looked at her best friend waiting by her side: "Of course, I can’t let you know."

Chikako smiled and said, "I can guess without thinking. It must be because Tanahata-kun from the next class got a girlfriend, and you’re envious, jealous, and resentful, wanting to find an even more handso guy."

"It’s not that!" The girl’s face turned red, her thoughts being exposed, making her feelings stamr.

"Ha, lying in front of the gods, your wish just now won’t co true."

The girl quickly covered her mouth.

Chikako teased her: "I guessed right, didn’t I?"

"Then, what wish did you make, Chikako?"

"I didn’t make one."

"Liar, you also like Tanahata-kun, don’t you?"

"I really don’t."

"Liar, liar, liar, liar, you’re definitely lying! You’re definitely envying that Riho right now!"

"Well, a little, though it’s just because I find it notable that she’s dating a handso guy."

Uesugi Sakura, the cat, was lounging on the donation box, lazily listening. This was the ninth girl asking the gods for a boyfriend.

He switched his right front paw to his left and continued listening to their conversation with lazy indifference.

Reiko: "Do you think boys want girlfriends too?"

Chikako: "Ah, isn’t that obvious?"

Reiko: "Then why isn’t Tanahata-kun’s girlfriend ... I hinted so much when he was single... Is he just dense?"

Chikako: "There are many reasons, but the most important one is that he doesn’t find you appealing."

Reiko: "Not appealing... How can one beco appealing?"

Chikako: "Well, being good-looking, of course. Just like you like handso guys, boys like pretty girls too!"

Uesugi Sakura closed his eyes to sleep, twitching his ears, hearing the high school girl in the sailor uniform say "good-looking" repeatedly.

"Is there any way to succeed without being good-looking?" Reiko tried to inquire.

"Well, maybe... building feelings over ti? But if you’re passed over at first sight, there’s really no hope. If it never starts, what’s there to talk about the future... Everyone says Tanahata-kun is handso and nice to girls, yet he chose a beautiful girl like Riho as his girlfriend. Reiko, we don’t stand a chance."

"Really, no chance at all?" Reiko’s eyes still held a spark of hope.

"No chance. I figured it out; love doesn’t matter at all to ." Chikako shrugged, feeling that she had beco enlightened.

"Why?"

"Just can’t et soone."

As she spoke, she bent down, grabbing Uesugi Sakura’s lazy head, "Sotis being alone is quite fine, isn’t it? If loneliness is too much, just get a cat."

...

The wind chi rang again.

Uesugi Sakura still lay on the donation box as the two high school girls’ silhouettes gradually moved away from the stone path, and they descended the tree-lined road, step by step.

He looked up at the dangling chi moved by the wind.

He thought, the gods should have heard the girl’s plea through this chi.

Wishing for a handso boyfriend...

No one wants to be lonely, perhaps that’s why people entrust their love to prayers, at least... the almighty gods can offer a Schrodinger’s hope to the girl.

The cat jumped down from the box, looked back at the dazzling sun, and with a lazy stretch, held his tail high as he slowly went down the mountain.

Today was another day without any gain.

...

In the afternoon, the sun was more dazzling and hotter than in the morning.

In the Tokyo University library, many school-age children were looking for books that interested them among the rows of shelves.

Uesugi Sakura, as a volunteer guide, finally got a chance to rest; walking around the school had left him quite sunburned.

In the library now, they were sensibly keeping quiet.

As people beca quiet, their hearts also beca peaceful.

"Uesugi, why did you volunteer?" Todaka Keichiro sat down opposite him, holding a bottle of mineral water.

"To experience life and gain insights; but why are you volunteering? I thought you always wanted to be with your girlfriend?"

"It’s the end of the sester, just finding sothing to do."

Commonly known as looking for sothing to do without a task.

Uesugi Sakura took a sip of the iced coffee he had ordered earlier and asked, "Have you improved in your second language? The last question in the final exam requires you to sing a Chinese song in front of everyone."

"Sing in front of everyone? That’s way too embarrassing!" Todaka Keichiro couldn’t help but complain.

"If you sing well, it won’t be embarrassing, it might even make everyone go ’Todaka-kun is amazing!’" Uesugi Sakura said seriously as he read this line.

Todaka Keichiro glanced at him, "Didn’t realize Uesugi you could joke like this."

"I’m just stating the truth, not joking."

...

Outside the school gate, Uesugi Sakura stood in front of a group of children to lead the way.

Whether it was because of what Aei had said before, "Big brother is very popular," many little girls shyly walked in front of him, making confessions like "I like you."

So even handed him a pink note.

Today’s kids... are they maturing this early?

Although he tily rejected this inappropriate affection, he still earned the jealousy of a group of little boys.
