Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home

   Chapter 17 Crash

   “Bell bell bell bell bell —”

   "Is it already this time?" Katsuya Nakamura looked at his watch, with a hearty smile on his face, and said to the students under the podium, "Then after class, everyone should pay more attention to safety on the way back."

   "Yes~~! Teacher Nakamura."

  The crowd responded, and there were also a few girls making fun of them.

   "Teacher, can you date me after school?"

  Katsu Nakamura didn't get angry after hearing this, but looked at the girl with a smile: "Unfortunately, the teacher is not interested in children."

   "Eh~~ why is this?" The girl said in a coquettish tone, "Then what kind of girl does Nakamura-sensei like?"

   Hearing this question, Nakamura thought for a while and said, "It's probably the kind of gentle intellectual woman who insists on saying it."

   Then he left the classroom.

   Kato Yusuke stopped the mechanical pencil, and the unfolded notebook was filled with dense notes, including the contents of the teacher's lectures and the contents of Kato Megumi's notes.

With the combination of    and a lot of his personal understanding, he wrote so much without knowing it.

   "That's amazing, Kato, you really work hard."

   Yamaguchi and Takei came over.

   "How? Do you want to go home together?"

   The two looked at Kato Yusuke together.

   "Sorry, go back first, I have to work part-time."

   Kato Yusuke said while packing his schoolbag.

   "It's part-time work again..." Takei Ichiro slumped his shoulders, "Occasionally you should take a day off."

   Kato Yusuke shook his head, and said in a flat tone: "That won't work, and you have to prepare for the tuition for the coming year, so next time."

"But…"

   Takei opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Yamaguchi patted his shoulder.

   He turned his head and saw Yamaguchi Takashi slowly shaking his head at him, then said to Kato Yusuke with a smile.

   "Understood, then you can hurry up and go home together anytime."

   "Okay." Kato Yusuke nodded slightly, then picked up his schoolbag and walked out quickly. When he came to the door, he stopped again, turned his face to the two behind him and said, "Next time, please have a drink."

   "OK!"

  Takaya Yamaguchi replied, leaning on Ichiro Takei's shoulder and making a no-problem gesture to Kato Yusuke.

   Kato Yusuke then left and hurried to the work place.

  …

  …

at home.

  Sayou faintly woke up from the dream, three thousand vexations were spread on the bed, and there was still a little haze in his eyes, like a newly awakened water lily, clear and moving.

"Um…"

   She wriggled up from the bed, rubbed her sleepy eyes with her hands, and said unconsciously.

"what time is it now…"

  The room was quiet, only the ticking of the clock reminded her of the passage of time.

   The hour and minute hands in the dial stop above the numbers 8 and 12 respectively.

   "It's already this time...!"

   "Not good...Dinner!"

   Consciousness gradually became clear, Sayu jumped out of bed in a panic, ran from the living room to the kitchen, and opened the refrigerator.

   Inside was a small box of tofu, a few eggs, half a radish, and two slices of bacon left over from breakfast.

   "That's not enough... that's right!"

   Sayu murmured, and then, as if remembering something, closed the refrigerator door again, and ran back to the living room with a "da-da-da" step.

   picked up the white envelope on the table, took out a 10,000-yen bill and stuffed it into his wallet, and hurried to the door, mumbling "buy groceries, buy groceries".

   After asking all the way, Sayu finally found a supermarket not far from the apartment after 20 minutes.

   "Isn't this... going around... a big circle."

   Looking at the people coming and going, Sayu gasped, his chest heaving up and down.

   The cons of being unfamiliar came at a bad time, but now is not the time to think about those things either.

   "Let's go back and cook soon...before Yusuke gets home."

   she murmured and hurried into the supermarket.

   If the workplace is a battlefield for men, then the supermarket is undoubtedly a battlefield for women.

The intensity of    is not only not inferior to the former, but even worse.

  Especially when there are discounts and promotions, the competition launched by the army led by housewives is no less than a war without gunpowder smoke.

   So there are not many products to choose from at this time.

   After picking and choosing for a while, Sayu only bought some fresh food and vegetables, and then went home.

   Walking on the road, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

   "Will Yusuke blame me... I only promised to buy something today, but I messed it up the first time."

  The traffic flow on the street is endless, and the flashing neon lights illuminate the city as if it were daylight.

   Sayu just carried shopping bags in both hands and walked like this, walking into a street.

  Many white-collar workers passed her by, talking with their companions about where to go for a drink.

   For the social animals who have been squeezed all day, their nightlife has just begun.

  「Lawson」、「7-Eleven」、「Comfort」

   One convenience store after another came into her eyes.

   "Comfort...?" Sayu couldn't help but stop and whispered, "Isn't this a shop where Yusuke works part-time?"

   "Could it be this...?"

   Her eyes lit up slightly.

   "Would you like to go in and take a look."

  Before the brain starts to work, the body has already responded.

   So Sayu walked over there.

   There is a parking space in front of the door. The store is brightly lit. Sayu walked around the railing and passed the trash can placed in front of the store, just as he was about to enter the store.

  “…”

Next to   , there were whispered voices, one of which was slightly familiar.

   "...what are you doing? Let me go."

   The words are a little vague.

   She looked up and saw two figures faintly flashing behind the air conditioner in the dark corner.

   "Yusuke...?"

   Sayu's footsteps paused slightly, and said somewhat uncertainly.

  “…”

   And no one responded.

   After hesitating for a while, Sayu chose to take a closer look.

   She raised her arms to cover her chest, assumed a defensive stance, and cautiously approached the other side.

   One step, two steps, three steps.

   The darkness is like a huge mouth that is addictive, quietly waiting for the prey to be hooked.

Da da da…

   A small voice came from under his feet, and Sayu moved his body gently.

  The field of vision gradually became clear, and what caught my eye was a man and woman hugging each other.

   Due to the direction, the woman can only see one back. Although it is a little hazy, you can still see that exquisite curve, with short hair that reaches to the root of the ear, and is hugging another person tightly at this time.

   "Yusuke...?"

Snapped-

   The shopping bag fell to the ground, making a dull sound, and the ingredients purchased for dinner slowly rolled out of it.

  …

  …
