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

   Chapter 393 Hokkaido University?

   Cloudy days are characteristic of Hokuriku.

   Asahikawa City, Hokkaido, today's Asahi High has just successfully held the Games.

   After the closing ceremony, the students returned to the classroom one after another and began to pack their things and go home.

   "I'm exhausted~~~..."

   Masaka Yuko was lying on the table, looking like she was exhausted.

   Sayu couldn't help but smiled when he saw this, and handed over the Pocari in his hand.

   "It's hard work~ Let's drink something."

"thanks…"

   Knotko let out a feeble groan and sat up against the table.

   She took Pocari and twisted it twice, but didn't twist it.

   "Ah, sorry, I'll do it." So Sayu took the Pocari back and opened it.

  Poke.

   "Give ~ please use."

   "Thank you, Sayu, you are so kind~!"

   "You're welcome~"

   Yuko Masaka brought the drink to his mouth, raised his chin and took two sips before heaving a sigh of relief.

   "Wow, it's so cold! But I survived..."

   "You're really exaggerating, Yuko." Sayu couldn't help smiling at her appearance, and at the same time stretched his hands behind his head and untied the high ponytail **** because of the sports meeting.

   A beautiful, spotless hair just blooms all at once, looking smart and elegant.

   "It's not an exaggeration!" - Masaka Yuko wanted to make a rebuttal, but she was in a trance because of the scene in front of her, and the words that came to her mouth also turned into a sound...

"so beautiful…"

"Eh?"

   "Hey, Sayu-chan..."

"…what?"

   "In the end, what can I do to be as beautiful as you?"

"Uh…?"

   In Sayu's expression that she didn't know what to say, Yuko Masaka raised her fingers.

   "Not only are people beautiful, smart, gentle and brave, but they also won many first prizes in sports..."

   "Although I have seen this kind of **** TV shows, I didn't expect such a person to actually exist, and she is still my friend. I must be dreaming, right?"

   "Stop talking." Sayu's eyes wandered around with nowhere to go, and he let out a very distressed sigh: "You are so serious all of a sudden that I don't even know how to react."

   "Ah~ She's so cute even when she's shy, she's like an angel~!"

  “…”

   While laughing, Misaki-sensei also entered the classroom.

   "—Go back to your seats and sit down, the class meeting is about to start."

  """""Good~"""""

  The students agreed and returned to their seats.

  “—”

  “——”

   simply announced some established matters, and explained the security issues.

  Misaki-sensei quickly ended the class meeting and informed everyone that school was dismissed.

  Hao's unpretentious style is very her style.

   Masaka Yuko, who had packed her things, came to the last row and asked Sayu whether to go to the coffee shop, and Sayu happily agreed.

  The two left the school together and took the train to Asahikawa Station.

   Then came to the very stylish coffee shop that I had been to.

   "Shall we sit in the corner by the window?"

"OK, all right."

  The two walked to the corner and sat down together.

  The waiter brought ice water and a menu.

   Whether it is the autumn equinox or the cold winter, basically all the stores only provide ice water.

   "Do you need to order now?"

   "Ah, yes, please give me yuzu soda and raw cheesecake, what about you Sayu-chan?"

   Sayu pondered the menu for a while, and then said, "Then I want matcha... sorry, please give me a pure mojito."

   "Okay, then please wait a moment~"

   The waiter who remembered the order turned and left.

   "Hey, Sayu-chan, is there something you don't want to eat?"

   "Not for now, maybe it will be added later."

   "That's it~" Yuko Masaka nodded and said with a smile, "I thought you would order a matcha ice cream as usual, did you change the flavor?"

   "This, I just wanted to drink something refreshing because I participated in a sports meeting for a day, nothing special."

   "Hmmm, Sayu-chan, you're talking~"

  “?”

   "Just now at the sports meeting, was someone confessed again?"

  —click.

  The ice cubes hit the glass.

  Sayu, who was drinking water, stopped abruptly.

   "...Why, would you know that kind of thing?"

   "Because, weren't you called to go to the back of the gym? I happened to see it when I was going to wash my hands... So what?" Masaka Yuko held her cheeks with interest.

   "Agreed? Or refused~?"

   "...Rejected." Sayu said, took a sip of ice water, let out a sigh of relief, and put the cup on the table.

   "As expected, he refused~ Um... Should I say it's Sayu-chan? Our school's Takahashi no Hana."

   "You know I don't like that name..."

   "Hee hee, I really don't know what kind of boy can make your heart move~"

   At this time…

   "—Sorry to interrupt." The waiter with the tray came over and interrupted their conversation.

   "It's been a long wait, here are the drinks and cakes you ordered."

   The waiter neatly put down things for the two of them, and then walked away quickly.

   The clear glass is filled with a bubbling pale yellow drink, and is adorned with dark green mint leaves, which makes you feel cool just by looking at it.

   Sayu took the cup, opened his lips slightly, bit the plastic straw inserted in it, and sucked lightly.

  As the cold liquid enters the mouth, a refreshing minty smell blooms on the tongue.

   Countless jumping tiny bubbles are like the light rain in the spring of Hokuriku.

  “…”

   Sayu's expression naturally relaxed slowly, and the expression on his face softened.

   "By the way, which university are you going to go to? Sayu-chan."

   "Hmm... I mean, it's probably Hokkaido University, right?"

"perhaps?"

   "Well, my mom and brother both said it's fine, and I got the qualifications to recommend admission, so that should be it..."

"-Wait!"

   Hearing Yuko Masaka interrupting her here, she asked with a serious face: "The recommended admission qualifications you just mentioned mean Hokkaido University?"

   "...Huh? Well, it's like this."

   "—Huh! Is this true? That famous Hokkaido University, when did this happen??"

"Uh…?"

"why did not you tell me?"

   "...This, because I only learned about it yesterday from Misaki-sensei."

   "Is that so..." Yuzi nodded his head again and again, took a big gulp of grapefruit soda, and then took a deep breath to calm down his excitement.

   "Sayu-chan!"

"Well?"

   "Congratulations~~~!"

   As she spoke, she stretched out her hands and held Sayu's hand, her face with light makeup showing joy from her heart.

   "You are really amazing to be recommended by Hokkaido University!"

   "Uh, uh... thank you, thank you." Sha You agreed at a loss, and then showed a soft and charming smile,

   "So what? What major are you planning to study?" Yuko Masaka asked enthusiastically.

   "Well... I think I'll probably choose between educational psychology and media studies?"

   "Hey~~ Educational Psychology and Media Studies? Mmmm! It's very suitable! It's very suitable for you, Sayu-chan-!"

   "Um... Uh, you don't need to be so loud, why don't you calm down first and have a drink?"

   Sayu said in a soothing tone as he pushed his mojito over.

   "Okay." Yuko nodded her head vigorously, and took a sip of her drink while biting her straw.

   "Ah, that's not..."

   "Cough, cough... Woo, it's so spicy!"

   Seeing her coughing while covering her mouth, Sayu couldn't help showing a wry smile, and then took out the handkerchief from the pocket of her skirt.

   "After all, there is mint in it, so use this."

   "...Well, thank you." Masaka Yuko whispered her thanks while taking the handkerchief.

   Then hurriedly took another sip of his grapefruit soda to offset the pungent mint taste in his mouth.

   It took a while to relax.

   "Sorry, I will return the handkerchief after I wash it."

   "It's okay~ I shouldn't drink that for you, you'll be fine."

   Yuko raised her head involuntarily, stared at her for a long time, and asked inexplicably, "But, why are you so calm? Sayu-chan."

"what?"

   "Everyone would be very excited to be recommended by that prestigious school, right? But Sayu-chan doesn't seem to be like that...Aren't you happy?"

   "This...I'm happy if I say happy, probably..."

   "Probably? No, think about it, you've talked about it several times since the topic of college, right?"

   "Is...is that so?" Sayu put a smile on her face, then looked down at the table, wondering what she was thinking.

  “?”

   Yuko Masaka blinked, confused by her abnormal state, and asked suspiciously, "Don't tell me...you don't want to go to Hokkaido University...?"

  “…”

   Hearing this, Sayu was silent for a while, then lifted a finger to the mouth of the glass and gently rubbed it along the curved edge.

"…I do not know either."

   Masaka Yuko looked at her, and suddenly felt that the girl at the moment was inexplicably strange, and there was a faint sense of detachment from her body, which looked a little illusory.

   "Sayu-chan...?"

"Um?"

"Where are you going…?"

"Eh?"

"do not go…"

   heard the words.

"Uh…?"

  Shayou's hand movement paused slightly, then raised his head in puzzlement, and the expression on his face returned to the same freshness as usual.

   "What are you talking about? Knot."

  “…”

   Jiezi kept staring at her, his eyes wandering inch by inch on her face, and then he shook his head in confusion.

   "...No, I just suddenly felt that Sayu-chan has gone to a very far away place."

   "Hmm...? Your statement is so strange."

   "So you won't go, right? Absolutely- won't go? Sayu-chan."

   Sayu was silent for a while, "You Yuzi, where are you going to go to university?"

   "Huh? Me?"

   Yuko Masaka thought for a while and said, "I will probably stay in the local area. Although it may not meet the standards of Hokkaido University, it should be fine for an ordinary university."

   "Don't you want to go out and see?"

   "Go out and see...?"

   "Well, places like Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, etc."

   "...this, although it's not that I don't want to, but I'm the kind of person who doesn't want to be too far from home, it's fine if I just go to play, as for the other..."

   When Yuko said this, she suddenly woke up and asked, "Sayu-chan, do you want to go to school outside?"

  “…”

   Sayu didn't answer this immediately, but just held the straw with thumb and forefinger, stirring the drink in the glass unconsciously, while slowly weaving words.

   "...I've lived in Hokkaido since I was a child, and I haven't traveled far so far except for school trips."

   "Although there is nothing wrong with this, but I always feel... I still want to go out and live independently."

   She murmured in a low voice, a somewhat lonely smile appeared on her face, and then fell silent again.

  —click.

  The ice cubes floated up and down in the drink in the cup, making a pleasant sound from time to time.

  “…”

   Yuko Masaka came back to her senses, first lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head and asked, "So where do you want to go, Sayu-chan?"

   "Well..."

   Sayu thoughtlessly loosened the straw, and subconsciously placed his hand on the front of his shirt, pressing down on the cinnabar bottle in his shirt.

   I heard the sound of small **** making a "clicking" sound in my ears, which made me feel calm.

   This is a habit she has developed recently.

   Although I can't say why.

   But whenever she feels bored, just touching the vial can calm her down, it's a bit of a placebo effect...

   "Sorry, Knot."

   Sayu took a deep breath and said softly, "I want to go to Tokyo."

   "Tokyo...Did you tell your family about this?"

"…not yet."

   Yuko Masaka continued to ask, "Then what about Hokkaido University?"

   "What I have to say... I'm going to try the schools in Tokyo first, and wait until the end to make a decision. If I can pass the test, I'll go to Tokyo. If I can't pass the test..."

   "Still go to Hokkaido University?" Yuko said the next sentence first.

   "...Well, that's it." Sayu nodded lightly in affirmation.

   "I see." Yuko Masaka squeezed her chin and nodded slowly, "Hmm~! If that's the case, it's fine, I think your family should be able to accept it."

   "...don't you blame me? Knot."

"Um??"

   "Because, if I go to a university in Tokyo, I won't be able to accompany you. Are you alone... ok?"

   A brief silence.

   "Sayou-chan."

"I am here…"

   Facing her slightly uneasy gaze, Yuzi couldn't help but smile.

   "I'm a high school student?"

  “?”

   "But the way you are now makes me feel like a primary school student."

   "Well, that's what I said too, sorry..."

   "—No!"

   Yuko patted the table with both hands. As he got up from his seat, he reached out a hand towards the opposite side and pressed it against Sayu's cheek.

   "You, Sayu-chan, there's nothing to apologize for at all."

   Her expression softened and she said with a smile:

   "It's me who should say thank you, thank you for taking care of me for so long, I'm fine now, please live for yourself in the future~"

  “…!”

   For a long time, Sayu didn't speak, just put his hand on hers and clenched it slightly.

   finally nodded and gave a soft hum.

"thanks."

  …

   (Underwritten progress 4/10)

   Thank you for the reward [The sky is me].
