Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard Chapter 701 - 428: Working at the Maid Café with My Wife2

After waiting for a minute, Uesugi Sakura still didn’t hear a response from the girl behind him, worried she would refuse, he asked again:

"How about it?"

"Since it’s a request from Sakura-kun, I guess there’s no choice~"

"Then later when we get to the café, shall we still pretend to be a married couple?"

"How will Sakura-kun explain Hanabi’s personality? The Hanabi today isn’t the sa as the Hanabi-chan from yesterday."

"..."

It was indeed a problem. Currently, only a few people knew that Hanamaru Hanabi had two personalities, and she seed to dislike familiar people knowing about her.

"Of course! Hiding my identity, it’s to see if any little vixens would try to entice Sakura-kun~"

"The way you say that..."

"Hanabi only needs Sakura-kun to understand, that’s enough! Also! Sakura-kun, don’t secretly take the other to see a psychologist when I’m not around, that’s a denial of Hanabi’s existence, and Hanabi really doesn’t like it."

"..."

Dr. Nakamura is pretty nice; for now, I’m just maintaining phone contact with her, discussing recent situations with Hanabi.

"Also, when we went to the café yesterday, why was the girl who gave Sakura-kun a gift at the mixer working there?"

"That was a coincidence..."

"You wouldn’t be in contact with her privately, would you, Sakura-kun?"

"..."

"Did you exchange Line contacts?"

"..."

"Sa~ku~ra~kun~"

"It’s all work-related stuff, after all, I have to teach her how to make coffee at the café."

"Oh~ How co that sounds like an excuse? Hanabi rembers watching TV shows where the n always insisted it was just work-related."

"How could a man as perfect as be compared to those scumbags from morning dramas."

"She doesn’t have a crush on Sakura-kun, does she?"

"No, definitely not, it’s just a normal work relationship," Uesugi Sakura said repeatedly.

"That’s good then."

Riding a bike to the café downstairs, they went upstairs together, pushed the door open, to find Towa Rina wearing a maid outfit with cat ears, leaning on the counter playing with her phone.

Upon hearing the doorbell, she imdiately sat up and said:

"Welco... oh, it’s Uesugi, and Hanamaru-san, uh, good afternoon!"

"Good afternoon," Uesugi Sakura said as the glass door swung closed behind them.

"Good afternoon," Hanamaru Hanabi also greeted with a smile, "But this is our first eting, isn’t it?"

"First eting?"

Strange.

Towa Rina felt she seed different from yesterday, but couldn’t pinpoint how.

"Didn’t we et yesterday?"

Hanamaru Hanabi shook her head with a smile, hugging Uesugi Sakura’s arm, and said, "Nice to et you, I’m Hanamaru Hanami, Hanamaru Hanabi’s twin sister. The one you t yesterday should be my sister."

"Oh... I see...?" Towa Rina looked at Uesugi Sakura whose arm was being hugged by her.

Hanamaru Hanabi suddenly pinched Uesugi Sakura’s arm.

He imdiately nodded to Towa Rina and said, "Yes... that’s right..."

"I see, nice to et you, I’m Towa Rina."

Towa Rina felt that the oddity in her heart was suddenly explained.

So it’s the twin sister, no wonder she felt completely different.

Both the sister and the twin being so beautiful, is that even fair?

She noticed how Hanamaru Hanabi kept holding Uesugi Sakura’s arm.

Wondering why Uesugi Sakura seed so close to his wife’s sister.

"I brought Hanamaru Hana...mi here, as she has so free ti lately and wanted a part-ti job, but couldn’t find a good place. The café happened to be hiring, so I brought her over. I had already discussed this with Manager Yanagi last night."

"I see." Towa Rina nodded, indicating she understood.

Upon arriving at the store, Uesugi Sakura changed into his work uniform and began taking over the manager’s duties, starting to make coffee.

Before long, Kobashi Rikai also arrived, starting to help by filling the glass display case at the entrance with baked goods and cookies the manager made in the morning.

"Uesugi," Towa Rina quietly approached the counter again.

"What’s up?"

"Your sister-in-law, is she really going to work here?"

"Didn’t she already introduce herself to you?"

"So she’s really going to be working here?"

"Yes."

"What’s your relationship with her?"

Uesugi Sakura glanced at her, "I’m her brother-in-law."

"Don’t bla for being nosy, I feel like you’re quite close with her."

Uesugi Sakura realized what she was asking about; bla it on Black Hanabi for only releasing his arm after introducing herself.

"We... grew up together... didn’t I tell you before, my wife and I are childhood friends? Naturally, with her twin sister as well."

Towa Rina was imdiately surprised, covering her mouth, the cat ears on her head twitching:

"Wow! My mind is even starting to imagine a love rivalry between the twin sisters competing for their childhood sweetheart!"

"Stop imagining things, Hanami doesn’t like ."

Saying this, Uesugi Sakura couldn’t help but think of the little one still nursing.

Towa Rina didn’t believe it at all in her heart.

While there weren’t any custors, Manager Yanagi gathered everyone around and introduced the cat-eared maid Hanamaru Hanabi standing beside her:

"From now on, Hanamaru Hanami will be working here with us."

Everyone was curious because she looked so much like Hanamaru Hanabi.

"Hello everyone, I’m Hanamaru Hanami, Uesugi-san is my twin sister’s husband. Please take good care of in the future."

Her voice was bright and sunny, sounding full of energy.

Nobody thought there was anything wrong, only Uesugi Sakura knew she was pretending with this appearance.

Sigh, what’s this all about?

The wife disguises herself as her sister-in-law to keep an eye on her husband at work?

But, leaving everything else aside, Hanamaru Hanabi really looks good in that cat-eared maid outfit.

She even specially smiled at him while introducing herself.

Her first day at work, she was very enthusiastic, helping everyone whenever needed.

As the afternoon approached, custors started coming in.

Work also began to pick up.

"Welco."

Two won entwined arm-in-arm, who appeared to be office workers, entered.

"Hey, handso, we’ve co again~"

"..." Uesugi Sakura was silent for a mont, "Welco."

Those two, always wanted to exchange Line contacts with him.

"What should we order today?" One of the won with long straight black hair looked at the nu handed out by Uesugi Sakura, then glanced up at him again, a smile forming at her lips, "Any recomndations, handso?"

"I rember you prefer sweet flavors, how about a simple cappuccino?"

"How nice, handso guy rembers what I like, then one cappuccino, how about a steak too?" she turned and asked her companion, "Minami, what do you want?"

"Sa as yours is fine."

Uesugi Sakura never thought having a good mory could be a bad thing: "Two cappuccinos, and two steaks, right? Ordering steak cos with a complintary starter dessert, there’s a choice of salad, cake, ice cream, and fruit platter, which would you prefer?"

"Ice cream is good, vanilla flavored, could we have the handso guy himself bring it to us?" She gave Uesugi Sakura a confident smile, pressing her index finger to her bottom lip, seemingly hinting at sothing.

"Two servings of vanilla ice cream prepared, please let know where you’d like them delivered."

The maid-uniford Hanamaru Hanabi appeared beside Uesugi Sakura, carrying a tray with ice cream, her face lit up with a kind and radiant smile.

The young woman completely ignored the maid, continuing to smile at Uesugi Sakura:

"I think it would be better if the handso guy brings the ice cream."

"Cus-to-rs, please have a seat inside the store."

Hanamaru Hanabi pushed Uesugi Sakura aside, forcefully inserting herself into the line of sight, facing the custors, keeping her smile.

"I think it’s better if the handso guy brings it," the female custor was also smiling.

Uesugi Sakura felt caught in the middle, sensing the situation had reached a boiling point.

Yet, it didn’t make sense, as they were only smiling politely at each other.
