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

   Chapter 372 Uninvited

   ding ding dong dong, bang bang bang.

  Raindrops beat on the metal roof, playing a cheerful rhythm.

   dong dong, bang bang, gudugudu.

   The familiar melody of making dinner sounded in the room.

   The combination of the two will gradually awaken Kato Yusuke's consciousness.

   He opened his eyes, and what he saw was a familiar room.

  The air that seeps through the gaps in the windows is filled with the smell of wet asphalt and dust, which softly informs that the indoors and outdoors are still connected.

  A slender and graceful figure is facing away from him, busy in the kitchen.

   The figure is neither sensual nor thin. The apron is tied into a bow at the waist, depicting the moving curve of a girl.

   The skin of the thighs extending from the bottom of the skirt is very fair, the position of the knees is glowing with light pink, and the tight and well-proportioned calves are covered with a pair of black calf socks.

   After a brief absence, Kato Yusuke's eyes turned blank.

   "...what are you doing? Megumi."

   "Hey~ you're awake, Yusuke."

  The girl looked back, with a little thought on her face as white as jade, and explained:

   "Because you fell asleep when I was talking about the sports meeting, and it rained outside shortly after, so I made some dishes by the way, and it was ready after a while."

   After he finished speaking, he turned his head and focused on the cooking without hesitation.

   Gollum, Gollum.

  Puffs of misty white smoke kept rising from the pot on the stove, and a strong aroma of food gradually spread.

   Yusuke instinctively sniffed his nose and recognized that it was the aroma of curry.

   He froze for a while, then got off the bed.

   Bright yellow lights illuminate the room, and the clean floor looks extra bright under the light.

   He looked around in a daze.

   The original low table with stains was restored to its original state, and there were obvious scratches on the table top.

  The dishes sitting in the kitchen sink were gone, replaced by scraps that had been plucked from the ingredients.

   Throwing his sports jacket on the ground and running somewhere, there are several garbage bags piled up in different categories in the corridor leading to the entrance...

  The whole room was neatly tidied up, completely different from what it looked like a few hours ago.

   A short blank appeared in my thoughts.

   Kato Yusuke stayed where he was, then mechanically stretched his legs and walked to the bathroom, wanting to use the toilet.

   "Ah, yes. The clothes you put on the floor and on the washing machine were washed by me in the washing machine. Will this cause trouble for you?" Megumi, who glanced at him, asked as usual.

   Hearing this, Yusuke's footsteps couldn't help but pause.

   His eyes were looking straight ahead, and there were indiscernible waves in his eyes, and he pondered for a moment before responding in a low voice.

"…no, thank you."

   and then move on and enter the bathroom.

  Buzz, huh, huh, huh~

   The sound of the front-loading washing machine clunked in the bathroom.

  Through the transparent glass door, the clothes inside can be seen tumbling in the white foamy water.

   Kato Yusuke couldn't help being a little silent, a little discomfort flashed in his dark eyes, and finally returned to silence.

   He lingered in the bathroom for a while, remembering what the girl had said before he fell asleep.

   seems to have mentioned the list of executive committee members of each class and the schedule of the various competitions in the sports meeting, but it is also somewhat uncertain.

Basically, he doesn't have the time to think and memorize these things. The reason why he agreed to let Hui come in is just to perfunctory, hoping that the other party can understand this through the appearance in the room, but he doesn't think he will fall asleep in the process of listening. .

   What I didn’t expect was—

   After seeing him fall asleep, the other party not only did not leave, but also silently helped clean the house.

   Such behavior left him speechless and at a loss.

   so much that he doesn't want to go out now, because he doesn't know—

   "Why hasn't he answered the phone this week?"

   "Why didn't you go to school when you came back?"

   He didn't know how to respond when the other party asked about these two things... Besides, there were some things that even Yusuke Kato didn't have an answer to, and naturally he didn't want others to ask.

   woo woo woo-

  Cold tap water kept pouring out from under the tap.

   He stood by the sink, staring at himself in the mirror.

   His eyes pierced through his chest through the reflection on the mirror, as if seeing a void of nothingness.

   Kato Yusuke lowered his head and washed his face, drying his face with a towel, then opened the door and walked out of the bathroom.

   "That, Yusuke, can you come here?"

  Mei's voice came from the corner of the corridor.

  “…”

   Without saying a word, Yusuke walked straight to the kitchen.

  I saw the girl scooping out a small spoon of curry from the pot with a spoon and pouring it into a small round dish held in her left hand.

   "I'll make it according to the usual taste, do you want to try the taste?" Megumin looked sideways at him, and gently reached out and handed over the disc.

   A thick, dark-brown gravy runs on top, obscuring the original white color.

  The unique aroma of curry floats into the nose, as if arousing a glutton in the stomach, arousing a little appetite.

   Facing the disc in front of him, Kato Yusuke turned his face away and said, "...No, it's yours."

   The hoarse voice was slightly indifferent.

   "Oh~ that's it, um~ I see." Hui nodded, retracted his hand, and said, "It's almost time for dinner, you can take the salad over there first."

  Yusuke nodded silently, transferred the vegetable salad and clips on the counter to the low table in the living room, and then went back to the kitchen to help.

   "Come on, Yusuke, is this enough rice?"

"Um."

   "What about curry?"

"Can."

   "Hmm~ I'll ask you to do this too?"

"it is good."

   Kato Yusuke went back and forth in the living room, feeling a little at a loss deep inside.

  After finishing the finishing work, Megumi took off her apron, showing a light body wrapped in a long-sleeved shirt and a sailor skirt, elegant and simple.

  “唷咻～”

   She naturally came to the low table, bent her legs and sat down opposite Yusuke, stretched out her hand to brush the blue silk around her ear, raised her head and said, "Well, can you eat it?"

  “…”

   Kato Yusuke nodded slightly, his eyes fell on the steaming curry rice in front of him, he picked up the spoon beside him, scooped a piece of meat, and mixed it with curry into his mouth.

  The rich spice flavor spreads in the mouth. It is a traditional European curry with a little milk in it.

   He chewed the food in his mouth slowly, the meat was tender, juicy and very smooth.

   "Chicken...?" He murmured suspiciously, not knowing where this ingredient came from.

   "Well, that's right."

   Hui explained softly, "Because the ingredients in the refrigerator were a little short, I went downstairs to buy a little bit. I used the spare key on the table, which I have put back."

  “…”

   Kato Yusuke didn't say a word, the emotion in his chest was a little indescribable.

   "Speaking of which, Kasumigaoka-senpai and Sawamura-san also came today, right?"

   nodded.

   "After all, it's quite conspicuous that the two of them left school early at the same time, well~ Even if the student council president doesn't come to school, it's almost enough."

   Silence.

"How should I say it? I always thought that Sawamura-san was the eldest lady from a well-off family, but after joining the student council, I found out that she is actually the only type of person... But Kasumigaoka-senpai is similar to the rumors, except for a little bit. evil."

   nodded again.

   "But I'm a little surprised by the fact that those two left early and also came here."

   Silence again.

   Until the next sentence…

   "I'm asking you, Yusuke." Hui suddenly raised his head to look at him and asked, "Do you have any plans for tomorrow?"

   Kato Yusuke paused for a moment, then shook his head and replied in a low voice, "No..."

   "Well, um, I see."

  “?”

   For a while, the two of them had dinner in silence.

  The rain outside also stopped unknowingly.

   The half-stained sky was a deep blue, and Venus couldn’t wait to shine in the sky.

  Rejected Megumi's offer to help with the dishes, and Kato Yusuke sent her downstairs to the apartment.

   Until the end, the girl never asked him what happened to him.

   just said goodbye to him calmly and left in the direction of the station.

   Kato Yusuke stood downstairs for a while, then returned to the room alone.

   A faint scent of cherry blossoms remained in the bright living room, stirring ripples in the heart lake.

  He came to the kitchen silently and cleaned the pots and dishes in the sink, with a bit of vitality in his eyes.

   Then he picked up the two paper bags from the desk, sat down at the low table, and poured out the contents.

   A box of high-quality yokan, a box of imported coffee, and a small gift box that I don't know what it contains.

   He picked up the gift box, which was packed in a paper bag with coffee, about half the size of a palm.

   Kato Yusuke opened the outer cardboard packaging, revealing the small box that looked like a jewelry inside, and then opened the lid.

   What caught my eye was a piece of cardboard with graceful handwriting.

  —"Activating your body can temporarily forget depression~"

   He stretched out his hand to pick up the cardboard. Below was a mass of black gauze-like fabric, with a faint fragrance, like a glamorous and **** African cosmos.

   Kato Yusuke put down the cardboard, poured the wad of fabric into his hands, and unfolded it to restore it to its original shape.

   rustling, rustling…

   With the subtle matte texture, a pair of dark and hazy pantyhose appeared in front of me.

   Through the air holes so thin that it is difficult to observe, it is like a table top covered with a layer of black gauze, ambiguous and fuzzy.

  Yusuke had no expression on his face, just silently stuffed it back into the box and put it aside.

   Immediately lean back against the bed, straighten one leg forward while leaning back, and lift your right arm on top of your forehead.

   He stared dimly at the dome light on the ceiling, lost in thought.

  …

   It was Wednesday evening.

  Tick, tick, tick.

  The autumn rain is like smoke and fog, pattering continuously outside the window. The raindrops formed a line, forming an incomparably wide bead curtain, misty.

   seems to have continued the rain of yesterday evening, and the rain that has been falling since this morning has accumulated on the ground into many puddles of different sizes, like traps.

   Kato Yusuke stood quietly in front of the window, his dark eyes were deep, looking at the city soaked by the rain, like a simple stone sculpture.

   It was almost 7:00.

   Dong Dong, there was a knock on the door of the apartment.

   He raised his foot and walked to the entrance to open the door, and in front of him was a girl who was putting away an umbrella.

   "Good evening, Yusuke." Megumin greeted me, and the transparent rainwater kept dripping down the umbrella.

   There was a little moisture on the tips of her hair, and a few strands of hair were slightly frizzy and frizzy. He was wearing a light pink knitted jacket that reached his hips, and inside was still the school uniform of the private Toyonozaki, which looked very soft.

   "...Good evening." Kato Yusuke responded, his eyes falling on the corner of her wet sports backpack and the shoes covered with a thin layer of water.

  The cool and moist air blows on the face, with a bit of coolness that penetrates into the skin.

"What's up?"

he asks.

   "Yeah~ Yes. But it's probably going to be a long discussion, so I'm sorry." The girl nodded lightly, stepped forward into the room, and lifted the plastic bag in her hand.

   "These, can I trouble you to take them to the kitchen?"

  “…?”

   Kato Yusuke just watched her enter uninvited a little toughly, and then he naturally started to take off his shoes at the entrance, his mouth moved but he didn't open his mouth, he silently took the plastic bag and walked towards the kitchen.

   Just two steps away…

   "Ah, yes~"

  Mei's words sounded behind her as if she remembered something: "Lend me a piece of home clothes to wear later, because it's raining outside and I'm a little uncomfortable."

   Yusuke's footsteps paused, and then he continued to walk forward.

"understood…"

   After placing the shopping bag with the supermarket logo in the kitchen, the girl also walked over slowly.

   Her eyes looked around the fairly tidy room, she tapped her head as if slightly satisfied, and then asked, "By the way, have you eaten dinner yet? Yusuke."

   Kato Yusuke shook his head in denial, and said this to the convenience of understanding. He put the sports backpack on his shoulders on the ground, and took off the knitted jacket he was wearing outside and hung it on the back of the chair in front of the desk.

   "Then I'll borrow the bathroom first, and we'll have dinner together later."

   Yusuke frowned slightly, stared at her face for a moment, and asked, "Bathroom?"

"Um."

  Mei calmly hummed, reached out and patted her skirt, which was slightly wet with the rain, and said calmly, "Ah, but if it's inconvenient, forget it."

   After a brief silence.

   Kato Yusuke walked to the closet, took a set of his own sportswear and a spare towel from it, then turned and handed it to her.

   "...there's only this now."

   "Well, thank you, Yusuke~ I'll go then." Megumi put her tracksuit and towel on her chest and walked into the bathroom.

   Click, click.

   The bathroom door was closed and locked.

   Soon…

   - clack clack.

   There was a movement of the bathroom door being pushed, followed by the sound of water.

   Kato Yusuke raised his feet and walked to the glass door leading to the balcony, trying to stay away from the bathroom and looking out the window.

  In the dark and misty scenery, it seems that only the sound of the headlights and splashing water in the distance covers the sound of the shower water...

   Thank you [The sky is me] and [Someone from Qingcheng Mountain next week] for their rewards.
