"Hanabi-chan, you..."

"Sakura-kun, don’t say anything... Hanabi... Hanabi really, really likes you! So... once Sakura-kun falls asleep... Hanabi will have a baby with Sakura-kun."

Uesugi Sakura was sleeping in the girl’s arms.

——————

Sleeping is a process where you wake up not remembering anything.

Sometimes, even though the impression of a dream is quite vivid, once you wake up, you forget everything completely.

When Uesugi Sakura woke up, he found himself lying on a big bed, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought for a while.

After a moment, he realized something and quickly checked his upper body.

Luckily, his clothes were still on.

He let out a sigh of relief, and as he turned his head, he noticed Hanamaru Hanabi kneeling beside him.

"Sakura-kun... are you awake...?"

Seeing that cute face, Uesugi Sakura instinctively shrank back a little and asked, "Hanabi-chan, you wouldn’t... you wouldn’t...?"

"Wouldn’t what?" Hanamaru Hanabi tilted her head cutely, looking puzzled.

"Weren’t you going to forcefully have a baby with me?"

To his surprise, Hanamaru Hanabi blushed and softly said, "Sakura-kun... what are you talking about..."

This tone, this demeanor...

"Hanabi?"

"Mm..." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Is it really... you?"

"It’s Hanabi... Sakura-kun, what’s wrong?"

That’s good, that’s good.

It seems the system’s Recovery Medicine worked, and the real Hanabi-chan is back!

Hanamaru Hanabi looked around and asked him, "Why is Hanabi with Sakura-kun in a hotel?"

Suddenly, Uesugi Sakura hugged her and called her his wife.

No matter what, after a week, the real Hanabi-chan was back.

He was truly happy.

He kept calling her his wife.

Hanamaru Hanabi was caught off guard by his embrace, but she hugged him back, patting his back, her face blushing slightly, and said in a very gentle voice, "Sakura-kun... don’t call me that so mushy..."

"Can’t handle it?" Uesugi Sakura asked, looking at her face.

"Mm... a little..." Hanamaru Hanabi’s face showed a shy look.

"Even if a little, you have to bear it."

"Why..."

"Because you are my wife."

Holding the real wife in his arms is the true warmth.

"Wife, I want to eat the omelette rice you made for me."

Uesugi Sakura hugged her tightly, and Hanamaru Hanabi, unable to bear his clinginess, shyly said, "Mm, Hanabi will make it for Sakura-kun."

"What about salad?"

"Also... there’s salad..."

"And tofu?"

"Yes..."

"Sukiyaki then?"

"Sakura-kun... you can’t eat that much..."

Hearing "can’t eat that much," Uesugi Sakura almost jumped for joy.

Listening to her voice, Uesugi Sakura was utterly in love, hugging her, stroking her back, as they lay together on the big bed.

"Wifey is the best."

"Sakura-kun... don’t call me so mushy..."

"Even though Hanabi-chan says that, in your heart, you’re actually thrilled, aren’t you?"

"No, not at all..."

"Wife, wife, wife, wife, wife..."

"Sakura-kun..."

"If Hanabi-chan doesn’t admit it, I’ll keep calling you until you do."

"Alright, alright... Hanabi... Hanabi admits it... Sakura-kun calling me that makes Hanabi’s heart warm and sweet..."

"My wife is so cute."

"Sakura-kun..."

Uesugi Sakura couldn’t resist her blushing face, hugging and kissing her until the girl in his arms turned soft and adorable, her cheeks rosy and almost translucent.

Hanamaru Hanabi shyly begged him to stop being so affectionate.

Only then did Uesugi Sakura let her go, ready to smile at her, when unexpectedly... Hanamaru Hanabi suddenly smiled and said to him:

"Sakura-kun, it seems you really like Hanabi a lot."

Uesugi Sakura stood there, utterly stunned...

Could it be, could it be, could it be not...

The Hanabi-chan from a moment ago was... pretending?
