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

   Chapter 368 Departure

   Time flies by...

   Since that day, Kato Yusuke has never appeared in front of the girl again, and Izumi, who is immersed in loss, has not called the police.

   Sayu's life has returned to its usual calm, going back and forth between school and home every day, and going out with Yuko on weekends.

   Kato Yusuke rented a booth for rest at the Internet cafe near Asahikawa Station.

  Unknown to anyone, he infiltrated the Ogihara's house several times and found something in the girl's room.

   After that, he went to the bank by himself again. When he came out again, the deposit in the passbook was only 100,000.

   A week has passed in such a hurry, and the time comes to the night of September 20th.

  The bright moon hangs overhead, and the night sky is dotted with stars.

   In the air filled with a touch of coolness, the fragrance of autumn night wafts.

  It was ten o'clock in the evening in the countryside, people on the road had already entered a certain household, and even the sound of cars was sparse.

   Half of the people have fallen asleep.

   In this blank time zone, Kato Yusuke, dressed in black sportswear, sat alone on the roof of Ogihara's house, meditating.

  Many memories kept appearing and disillusioning in front of my eyes.

   He longed to give Sayu happiness, and hoped that the other party would no longer suffer from misfortune and suffering.

   So is Sayu happy now?

   Through the secret observation over the past few days, it seems to be the case.

   Today's girls are determined and resolute.

   Dare to stand up for friends, have the heart to protect, be strong and confident.

   seems to have gathered his best expectations for her, which is completely opposite to the crybaby who always relied on him, needed his protection, always had scars in his heart, and shed tears from time to time.

   There are friends who are guarding you, and family members who care for you. You are liked and admired by others.

  Everything around the girl is fine, but there is no sign of him.

   It's not that he didn't think about forcibly taking Sayu away, and then slowly figured out a way to tell her everything.

   However, after the impulse subsided, he immediately realized that this was a dead end.

   The other party neither trusts him nor likes him, and it can even be called abhorrence.

   Regardless of this, even if Sayu was really taken to Tokyo, let her stay away from her family and friends, and start anew with him in a strange city, would it be considered happiness?

  ‘Apart from a one-sided love, what can I give her? ’—This thought was deeply rooted in Yusuke’s mind, cold and rational.

   So why don't you go without Sayu? It was his ego that was abandoned.

   He cannot selfishly think that being with himself is happiness, otherwise it is unhappiness.

  Only two people who go both ways can be happy, and imposing their own thoughts and feelings on each other is at best a self-satisfying and selfish behavior...

   Kato Yusuke absentmindedly stretched out his hand towards the bright white moon high in the sky, as if to speculate the distance from him.

   He thought he could go to the end, but when he stopped and turned to look back, there was a barren land in front of him.

   There is something missing in his heart, a void that cannot be filled.

   Asking but not being able to give up.

  The two emotions, rational and emotional, are constantly colliding in my heart.

   All the gifts of fate had already been marked with prices in secret, and he healed the wounds in the girl's heart and filled the void in her heart.

   Instead, the void was transferred to himself.

  Because he likes it, he hopes that the girl will be surrounded by people, and that the road she walks will be full of flowers and full of voices.

   Judging from the results, he did get his wish.

   However, there is a heart-wrenching emotion choked in my heart that can't be eliminated no matter what.

   He withdrew his hand slumped, curled up his body, exuding the loneliness and loneliness of being alone.

"system…"

  “…”

   "Give me back my Sayu..." Yusuke buried his face on a bent knee and murmured in a voice squeezed out of his throat: "Give that crybaby, follower...give it back to me..."

  “…”

  The cold moonlight shone on him, and the surroundings were always quiet.

   buzzing, and the phone vibrated silently.

   This time, Kato Yusuke chose to answer.

   "You finally answered the phone, Kato-san." A cold and **** voice came from the receiver, with a hint of anxiety and relief.

  “…”

   "Kato-san...?"

"…what."

"…What’s wrong with you?"

   "...Is something wrong, Shiyu-senpai."

   Shi Yu on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and her voice calmed down a bit.

   "What I want to say is what I want to ask... Phew, but forget it now, where are you now?"

   Kato Yusuke uttered two words in a low voice: "Asahikawa."

"…When are you coming back?"

  “…”

   "What? If you encounter something unhappy, you can talk to my sister."

  “…”

"Although I'm tired of rushing the script, and at the same time taking care of someone's script, it's basically been overnight for two weeks, and this body is about to be damaged by you, but listen to the lovely junior. Worry...I still have that little bit of room to spare, okay?"

   "Sister Shi Yu..."

"Um?"

   "...The name Sayu, do you remember?"

   "Kato-san?"

"Um."

   "When talking to the opposite sex, it is very uninteresting to mention another woman."

  “…”

   "So what? What happened to that woman?"

   Kato Yusuke was slightly startled, then raised his voice instantly: "Do you remember?"

   A brief silence.

   "... Rather, is that something I should remember?"

   The excitement that had just surged abruptly subsided.

   Kato Yusuke paused and said, "...No, it's alright."

   "Really? Sorry, I don't always pay attention to the people around me, except for a few."

   Shi Yu teased a little deeply, and then asked: "So, when are you going to come back? Nakamura-sensei said your vacation is over, right?"

   added: "By the way, even the student council president, if he is absent for a long time, he may be repeated or expelled from school."

   Kato Yusuke was silent for a long time, and the other party also listened quietly.

   "...I'll go back tomorrow."

   "Have you bought your ticket yet?"

  “…”

"AM or PM?"

   "...I'll figure it out."

   "Is that so, I know... Click, click... Then that's it, good night, Kato-san."

"Um."

  The two ended the call.

   Kato Yusuke put the phone in his pocket, took a deep breath, let the cold air circulate into his lungs, and then exhaled again.

   His hands lightly propped up on the platform, and during the process of falling, his backhand clawed at the small platform of the outer window on the second floor, so that his figure was suspended in the air.

   Then he pressed the window with his other hand and quietly pushed it to one side.

   While using strength with both hands, he also kicked with his feet on the solid wall.

   The whole person got in through the open window.

  Tick, tick, tick.

  In the quiet bedroom, only the sound of the pointer moving and the sound of peaceful breathing.

   Kato Yusuke took off his shoes, walked down from the windowsill, and came to the bed.

   First, he glanced at the girl who was sleeping with the doll on the bed, then turned his gaze to the bedside table beside him, and landed on the water glass placed on it.

   He raised his palm lightly, and with the movement of his mind, a white pill appeared out of thin air in his palm.

  【Qi and Blood Medicine】: Strengthens the body, activates vitality, and has a significant effect on improving human quality.

   Kato Yusuke stood by the bed, crushed the tablet into powder and sprinkled it into the water glass, then picked up the glass and shook it gently to make it completely dissolved in the water.

  According to the frequency of once every two days, he has done the same thing 3 times, and also put 3 qi and blood medicines separately into the vitamins that the girl usually eats.

  Because the shapes are similar, if you don't look closely, you won't find anything unusual.

   After doing this, he came to the desk again, reached into his pocket, and took out a modified pendant necklace.

The    pendant necklace consists of two parts, the chain is a thin platinum necklace, and the pendant part is a small transparent cinnabar bottle, which contains the [Wan Healing Medicine] rewarded by the mission.

   Kato Yusuke put the pendant on the desk, then reached for the paper and pen, and wrote a line on the paper - "When you are in danger, eat it."

  Because I'm not sure about the girl's reaction.

   After hesitating for a while, he did not leave his signature and phone number on it, but just placed it with the pendant necklace.

   Yusuke breathed out a scorching breath from his nose, but he didn't make a single sound, like a shadow merging into the low night.

   He raised his feet again and returned to the bedside, quietly watching Sayu, who was sleeping soundly.

   The bright moonlight shone on the girl's face, gently depicting her outline, thick and long black eyelashes attached to the double eyelids, like the grass growing by the stream, reflected on the white cheeks.

"Um…"

  The cool night wind blew in from the window and into the room, causing Sayu to let out a snort, sticking one foot out of the quilt and hanging it beside the bed.

   Kato Yusuke leaned down silently, knelt down on one knee, put the white and tender little foot back, and helped her cover the quilt.

   Then he turned his gaze back to the girl's face.

   At this time…

   "Izumi-san..."

   An inaudible murmur came out of Sayu's mouth, and a thunderbolt sounded in Yusuke's ears.

   His movements froze for a moment.

   just stared blankly, with red eyes and trembling lips. He wanted to raise his hand to touch the girl's cheek, but he didn't dare.

   In the end, he just stood up from the ground silently, with a bit of frustration, turned around and walked to the platform of the window, and jumped out after putting on his shoes.

   turned over the iron gate in the yard and came to the street.

  Under the starlight, the boy kept walking westward, crossing the line of dawn and dusk, and crossing the line of the date, as if he wanted to return to the original day.

   His steps were heavy but he never looked back.

   In the room on the second floor, Sayu also muttered the second half of the sentence.

   "...sorry, we're friends."

  …

   Asahikawa Airport at 9 am the next day.

   "Kato... classmate...?"

   Kato Yusuke, who came here alone, meets an unexpected person.

   "...Sister Shiyu?" He asked in a low voice, his dull eyes wavering slightly, his eyes fell on the tall figure wearing a long brown trench coat in front of him, puzzled by this sudden encounter.

  The long black and bright hair was softly draped, wearing a white headband on his head, and a bit of tiredness on his beautiful face.

   The girl was holding a cup of hot coffee in her hands, and was sitting on a bench next to the security checkpoint. Her long, slender legs stretched out forward, with a pair of small black leather shoes on her feet.

   A pair of burgundy eyes stared at him, his eyes fell on his tired face and pale hair, a bit of confusion and disbelief appeared on his face.

   That emotion doesn't come from why he saw him here, but a cognitive impairment to his current status, as if he was carefully comparing with something in his own memory.

   After an inexplicable silence.

The astonishment on Shi Yu's face was put away a little bit, and then it turned into another inexplicable emotion, like a little distressed, and pretended to be calm, stood up from the seat, and walked towards him. .

   "Oops... This really surprised me. Did you dye your hair? Kato-san."

   Kato Yusuke responded with silence and asked hoarsely, "Why?"

   "Yeah, probably because I just wanted to come here for my novel, so I booked a flight to Sapporo last night, and took the car to Asahikawa to check it out." Shi Yu replied casually.

   Kato Yusuke nodded and said nothing, just walked straight to the self-service check-in machine and printed the boarding pass.

   Then he lifted his foot to the security check channel, Shi Yu always followed behind him.

   "Um... Have you grown a little taller? It seems taller than the last time I saw you... It's about 5 centimeters, it should be 183 centimeters?"

   "Also, what's up with this outfit on your body? Was it deliberately dressed in this street style? Honestly, this style doesn't suit you."

   "Sister."

"Um?"

   "Why follow me."

   "As I said, I came here just to collect material, now it's time to go back when it's over."

   Kato Yusuke came to the boarding gate, found an unoccupied corner and sat down nearby, and Shi Yu also sat next to him.

   He raised his eyes blankly and cast a questioning gaze.

   "The only flight to Tokyo is this one in the morning, so I also take this flight."

   Kato Yusuke lowered his eyes again and stopped talking.

   After half an hour, the plane began to check tickets.

  The two walked into the boarding bridge one after the other and entered the plane.

   Just when Yusuke was about to go to the economy class according to his seat, the sports jacket was pulled from the back.

   "Hey, Kato-san."

   Shi Yu suddenly said, "Let's sit here, I bought two tickets."

   Kato Yusuke paused for a while, glanced at the business class seat beside him, couldn't reply, then walked forward again and sat down at a certain window seat.

   After a while, a middle-aged uncle in a cheap suit came over. After confirming the boarding pass in his hand and the seat logo above, he was determined.

   But just as he was about to sit down beside Yusuke...

   "I'm sorry, my friend is sitting there, can we exchange seats? Uncle." Sister Yu, who was a little indifferent and lazy, sounded.

   "Uncle?? I said little girl..."

   "I'm willing to exchange two business class tickets, what do you think?"

   Uncle swallowed the complaint and coughed lightly: "Of course, uncle, I like helping you young people the most."

   After saying that, he took the ticket and walked away quickly.

   So…

   Shi Yu sat down next to someone logically.

  …

   (The role of Izumi is just to make the male protagonist misunderstand, and there will be no interaction. Don't misinterpret it.)
