Chapter 113: The Unprecedented Uesugi Craze 20

Returning from the racetrack, it was 4:30 PM, at the 18th floor of Sakata Bridge Tower, Uesugi Muneyuki's residence.

Ikeda Erena had arrived at Uesugi Muneyuki's door two hours early, yet Uesugi Muneyuki was not home; however, that did not matter, and Erena simply sat in the guest area of the Tower Mansion lobby for two full hours, waiting for Uesugi Muneyuki to return home.

Today, in order to see Uesugi Muneyuki, Erena had specially dressed up with great care; she wore a professional-style light gray overcoat on the outside, paired with a brown wool sweater underneath, and wide-leg trousers matched with gray low-cut high-heeled shoes, making her pair of long, straight legs appear even sexier.

Of course, Ikeda Erena's core competitiveness remained that pair of miraculous, full breasts, which pushed the wool sweater up high; the overcoat on the outside was originally enough to cover all the sexiness and allure of her miraculous, beautiful body, yet it revealed a few clues precisely because of the two taut, dark gold buttons on the coat. Her exquisite, firm, and beautiful face had deep lines, and her thin lips and pair of brown, beautiful eyes were filled with irrepressible anticipation and an unfathomable longing.

Her clean and refreshing short hair had clearly just been permed and dyed, and Erena had applied a little makeup, waiting patiently.

To her, waiting was not boring; on the contrary, it was a kind of enjoyment.

However, Erena's appearance here made the front desk of Sakata Bridge Tower feel immense pressure; after she had waited for an hour, the property management lady finally could not help but come up to ask if she needed any help.

Erena's response was very simple; she indicated that she was waiting for someone: "I have an appointment."

I know you have an appointment, but aren't you here too early? The front desk attendant looked at the appointment registered for 4:30, feeling immense pressure, and the expression on the other person's face was filled with an intense sense of oppression, almost making one unable to escape.

If you want to wait, then wait!

The property management lady ran off, leaving Erena to continue waiting.

And so, she waited until the moment Uesugi Muneyuki returned home around 4:00.

One after the other, Uesugi Muneyuki had barely closed his front door when he heard the doorbell.

"Erena?" Seeing the familiar figure on the video doorbell, Uesugi Muneyuki was stunned for a few seconds before pressing the talk button.

"Uesugi, you're too slow!" Erena complained on the screen: "Hurry up, unlock the elevator!"

"Tsk, Master Erena, aren't you a bit too punctual?" Uesugi Muneyuki did not unlock the elevator immediately, but instead said with a hint of doubt: "You came early?"

"Not at all, I arrived right on time." The tall beauty on the screen blushed at Uesugi Muneyuki's words, and seeing that Uesugi Muneyuki was slow to press the button, she threatened viciously: "Hurry up! It's not like you didn't have things to do this morning!"

"Tsk tsk, being so rude when coming over as a guest for a meal, be careful or I won't open it for you!" Uesugi Muneyuki teased Erena skillfully.

"I think you're asking for a lesson! Uesugi!" Erena's emotions were immediately stirred up: "Unlock the elevator for me right now! Otherwise, I'll show my Detective badge to the property management!"

"Hahaha! Do you still remember which floor I live on?" Uesugi Muneyuki had originally intended to tease Erena some more, but seeing this, he could only press the authorization button.

"1802, how could I possibly forget!"

"Scary, Master Erena, you have the potential to be a stalker! Have you considered transferring to Public Security?"

"If you say another word, you're done for!"

When hanging up the communication, Erena heard a few light chuckles, which made her even more annoyed.

No, I can't let him play me!

Erena forced herself to calm down, and facing the elevator wall, she suddenly saw her flushed face and the sweet smile slightly curling at the corners of her mouth; she hurriedly turned her head away in self-deception, stroked her chest with both hands, and took a few deep breaths. By the time her mood had calmed down, the elevator had reached the floor.

"Ding-dong~"

The door opened, and a familiar scent rushed toward him; Uesugi Muneyuki was standing at the door, unusually dressed in comfortable loungewear.

He spread his arms to show his welcome.

She furrowed her brows, looking at Uesugi Muneyuki with a mix of shyness and annoyance; the other party's expression was calm, as if he didn't feel anything after being separated for two weeks.

You guy! How can you still be so calm? You have to know that I...

"I'm home, Master Erena." Uesugi Muneyuki gestured to ask if she wanted a hug.

High-heeled shoes flew off, revealing a pair of gray-silk-clad beautiful feet stained with red nail polish; wrapped in 40D thickness, the jade feet stepped frantically in the entryway, and Ikeda Erena threw herself into Uesugi Muneyuki's arms, hugging him tightly.

In this instant, she felt like she had everything.

"Welcome home!"

After hugging for a while in the entryway, Uesugi Muneyuki couldn't quite take it anymore and gently tried to push away the tall beauty in his arms, yet Erena held onto him without letting go, even sniffing hard at his chest with her nose; he could only close the door with a koala hanging on him, then took slippers out from the shoe cabinet: "Master Erena, sit for a while first."

The tall beauty seemed to have absorbed enough vitality from Uesugi Muneyuki, and only then did she let him go; unable to hide the flush on her face, Erena responded softly, slipped her silk-clad feet into the slippers, and walked into the house.

"Sit for a moment, we'll go out to eat later."

Uesugi Muneyuki discovered that Erena was actually wearing long trousers today, which was somewhat disappointing; he pulled Erena to sit down and made tea for her.

But Erena held him back, signaling that it wasn't necessary; the tall beauty took a deep breath: "Um, Uesugi?"

"What is it?"

"I followed your request and wore it for you to see!" Erena could clearly hear her own heart pounding.

"Aren't you wearing trousers today?" Uesugi Muneyuki said casually.

"You, look again?" Erena gently tugged at her long trousers, her hot and beautiful face, full of Iberian Peninsula flair, carrying deep shyness and expectation.

Hmm?

Uesugi Muneyuki didn't understand at first, but the next moment, as if he were about to touch some exquisite work of art, he slowly approached the pair of long, beautiful legs that Erena had hanging off the sofa; as the trousers were pulled up slightly, the graceful heels and ankles gradually appeared, followed by the calves.

Inside Erena's long trousers, she was wearing Silk Stockings?!

The gray 40D semi-sheer matte Silk Stockings exuded a sense of luxury and solemnity; the lines were long, and worn on Erena's legs, they were as beautiful as a Michelangelo sculpture from the Renaissance.

From ankle to calf, every inch of Erena's skin was tightly wrapped in gray silk stockings; the soft luster revealed in the details and the slight flesh-tone showing through the toes and heels attracted all the light in the room, creating a dreamy, refracted shimmer at the edges of the stockings. At the ankle, a thin wrinkle in the silk stockings was natural and full of aesthetic beauty, making these gray-silk-clad beautiful feet as bright as a pair of beautiful jades.

The thin silk stockings clung to Erena's insteps, outlining perfect arcs along her size 37 feet, the delicate velvet texture like strands of soft silk.

"Um, I heard that someone really likes this kind of... wearing stockings inside trousers... Uesugi, do you like it?" Ikeda Erena said somewhat frantically, her legs subconsciously twisting and crossing, which only served to further showcase the length and perfection of her long legs: "Also, do you want to try... the texture or something."

"I like it very much." Uesugi Muneyuki swallowed, asking tentatively: "Is it okay?"

"Mm..." Erena shyly covered her face, and finally responded with an almost imperceptible sound.

If it weren't okay, why would I have worn them over for you to see?

Idiot!

————The following is not convenient to describe in detail————

In the end, at Erena's strong insistence, the two of them just went downstairs to a restaurant for a meal before returning home.

Throughout the whole time, the smile on Erena's face never faded.

Erena suddenly discovered that this guy Uesugi Muneyuki was really easy to satisfy.

Whether she made a small mistake, said the wrong thing, didn't consider things thoroughly, or didn't handle matters well, Erena found that she could easily obtain his forgiveness; as long as she put on silk stockings and gave him a little sweetness, Uesugi Muneyuki would let her off.

Of course, this is limited to minor mistakes that only leave him speechless and won't make him angry.

Eirina knew that she actually had nothing she could give him.

Fortunately, it was very effective.

In fact, when they watched a band performance together last time, Uesugi Muneyuki had already done it once; afterwards, when the two were together, Eirina did not resist when Uesugi Muneyuki did it again, which was equivalent to tacit consent, but today was the first time Eirina had actively invited and approved of Uesugi Muneyuki's behavior.

The right that has been given away cannot be taken back, so when Uesugi Muneyuki requested that Eirina wear it like this inside her suit trousers from now on, Eirina reluctantly agreed.

Yay!

After dinner, the two watched television together; Uesugi Muneyuki massaged Eirina's beautiful grey-stockinged feet while telling her about the process of the Chiba Prefecture Serial Murder Case.

Eirina listened very attentively, but halfway through, when she heard Uesugi Muneyuki say that he had voluntarily requested to go to Chiba Prefecture, Eirina suddenly giggled: "I think I need a paid long vacation."

And as it happened, just as Eirina was saying it, the television was also repeating the exact same words: "I think I need a paid long vacation."

Uesugi Muneyuki was left speechless and laughed at himself.

He had recently become popular in Japan.

It was not because of his appearance, his Peerage status, or his outstanding skills as a Forensic Pathologist and his bizarre ability to sketch criminals.

It was because, during a nationwide Live Broadcast press conference, he had been distracted by sensing energy from the Inner World and forgot to answer a reporter's question; to cover it up, Uesugi Muneyuki said he was tired, and then said that sentence to Watanabe Eiji.

"Director General Watanabe, I think I need a paid long vacation."

This sentence became a hit.

The Japanese, who have strange points of focus, couldn't remember much else, but they firmly remembered this sentence.

"I think I need a paid long vacation."

People began to repeat Uesugi Muneyuki's words and apply them to every aspect and every field; this sentence from Uesugi Muneyuki scratched the itch of the working class.

Work is done, I think I need a paid long vacation.

I'm very tired today, I think I need a paid long vacation.

Passed the bar exam, I think I need a paid long vacation.

Accidentally got sick, I think I need a paid long vacation.

This universal sentence structure quickly became popular all over Japan, and the Japanese began to use this sentence from Uesugi Muneyuki to deal with many scenarios.

And as this sentence structure spread, things became abstract.

For example, on the internet, memes of Uesugi Muneyuki began to appear; at first, Uesugi Muneyuki would include this text in the memes, but after a few days of spreading, the text was deleted, as everyone knew what he was going to say when they saw Uesugi Muneyuki.

Then, someone mentioned that Uesugi Muneyuki is not an entertainer and that this was an infringement of portrait rights, so someone photoshopped his face out, and everyone still knew what he was going to say anyway.

Then, even the character model was no longer used; Uesugi Muneyuki was wearing a grey suit, white shirt, and blue tie that day, so these people just used color blocks of grey on both sides, white in the middle, and a blue strip spliced together, and everyone still knew what he was going to say anyway.

Next, it started to become even more abstract; this sentence structure began to spread to other fields, and other memes were released one after another.

Doraemon said to Nobita Nobi: "I think I need a paid long vacation."

Ultraman said to the Defense Team: "I think I need a paid long vacation."

Link said to Zelda: "I think I need a paid long vacation."

Pikachu said to Ash: "I think I need a paid long vacation."

Mario said to Peach: I think I need a paid long vacation.

The Dark Magician said to Yugi Muto: "I think I need a paid long vacation."

Tom the cat said to Jerry the mouse, Gundam said to Amuro, Dragon Ball said to Goku, and it gradually developed to Minamoto no Yoshitsune saying it to Minamoto no Yoritomo, Akechi Mitsuhide saying it to Oda Nobunaga, and Tokugawa Ieyasu saying it to Toyotomi Hideyori.

Finally, it began to become completely abstract, with things like the sun saying it to the earth, the earth saying it to humanity, and a black hole saying it to time.

Major media outlets and websites described this sentence structure as the "Uesugi Phrase" and described this event as the "unprecedented Uesugi craze."

Now, whenever Japanese society sees anything related to Uesugi Muneyuki, their first reaction is this sentence.

I think I need a paid long vacation.
