Yes, it's a date.
With that reply, Uesugi Sakura put the phone back in his pocket.
Hanamaru Hanabi looked at him with her beautiful eyes and asked, "Did Rie-chan say something?"
"Ayaka said she wishes us an enjoyable date," Uesugi Sakura couldn't resist and said with a smile.
"No... today isn't a date..." Hanamaru Hanabi looked at her legs wrapped in white silk under her skirt, "Rie-chan wouldn't say that to Sakura-kun either..."
She understood.
"Sakura-kun... is lying again..."
"Don't worry."
Uesugi Sakura gently hugged her shoulders, letting her slowly lean into his embrace. Under the reaction of a little girl across the way covering her face, he softly said to the girl:
"Sakura-kun will always be good to Hanabi."
