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

   Chapter 413 The dining table of the Ogihara family

   "It was a night in Tokyo where a boy and a girl met..."

   "Rather than relying on you to protect her all the time, don't you feel like this will help her build confidence and improve the environment?"

   "If you really want to thank me, you can kiss me as a thank you gift."

  …

"Um…"

   A groan-like humming sound echoed silently.

   Sayu's eyelashes twitched slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

   The blurred vision slowly became clear.

   A familiar room comes into view.

   The alarm clock on the bedside table clearly indicated the time of the moment - 7:05am.

   There is still a lot of time before school, and there is even a little room for squinting for a while.

   "Ummm..."

   Sayu slowly sat up, covered his forehead with one hand, and thought silently.

   She felt as if she had a dream, a very real dream.

   However, once you think about it carefully and recall it, you can't recall anything.

  Everyone has had this experience, like opening their eyes between half-dreams and half-awakes, but the consciousness is still stuck in the afterglow of the dream.

   After thinking hard for a while, the dream was still a mess.

  “Tokyo…”

   Sayu frowned slightly, muttered to himself, and then fell into silence again.

   raised his hand and pressed his chest, feeling inexplicably empty in his heart, a sense of loss.

  Click…

   The small round beads in the cinnabar bottle squeaked softly, interrupting her meditation and allowing her to recover from her confusion.

   Sayu, who heard the sound, couldn't help but feel relieved, put the dream thing aside, only the word Tokyo became clearer in his mind.

"come on…!"

   patted his cheeks a little harder to cheer himself up.

   just got up and went down to the ground, putting on the slippers by the bed.

   Sayu picked up the vitamin bottle, poured out a pill in the palm of his hand, and drank it with water.

   Then I got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower, and started to prepare for school…

  …

   Asahikawa No. 6 High School, three classes in three years.

  As the date of the unified examination approached, the atmosphere in the class became more and more tense.

  The students were all holding reference books and redbooks, and immersed themselves in their studies. Even during recess, it is the same as during class.

  Except for those who have already decided another way out, or the lucky few who got the recommended admission qualifications, everyone must prepare and work hard to get into the university of their choice.

   is also during this period.

The frequency of    tripartite talks between teachers, students and parents has also become higher and higher.

   For those students who have a large gap between the deviation value and the target university, the teacher will truthfully advise them to lower their goals and not set too high goals during the meeting.

   For those with a small gap, we will also give targeted suggestions according to the situation, and observe for a while.

  This is a very detailed job, because you need to care about the situation of each student, so the teachers who lead the graduating class have been very busy recently.

  —Misaki-sensei, who is the head teacher of Class 3 and 3, is no exception.

   That was after the fourth class in the morning.

   While she was sorting out the course materials and the students' recent grades, the most special student in the class suddenly came over.

   "Misaki-sensei, are you free?"

   "Is something wrong? Ogihara-san."

   "It's something about the university that I want to talk to you about."

   Hearing this, Misaki-sensei couldn't help but asked with a surprised expression, "University?"

   "Well, university."

   Sayu calmly nodded and repeated.

   "...Well, then you come with me, let's go to the rest area."

"OK."

   The two of them came to the rest area in the corner of the office together, which was the place where Sayu and Sayu had sat when the writer of Yagami came to school earlier.

  There is a screen here. Although it is not as private as an independent student guidance room, it is also a semi-private space.

   In addition, it was lunch time, and the other teachers had also left the office, so it was a good time to talk.

   Wait until after sitting on the sofa.

  Misaki-sensei didn't make any detours, and immediately asked directly, "So? What's the problem?"

   "Mizaki-sensei." Sayu took a deep breath, and then said, "Regarding the university, I decided to go to a school in Tokyo."

   "—Tokyo??" Misaki-sensei's voice was raised twice, and the unexpected answer made her head a little confused for a while.

   "Yes, Tokyo." Sha You nodded heavily, her cute little face tensed slightly.

   Compared to the other party, although her voice was soft, it contained an inexplicable seriousness and courage, as if to inform that the decision was the result of careful consideration.

  Misaki-sensei heard this, and could not help frowning deeply, and said, "...It's such a sudden news. Anyway, can you tell me why you have this idea first?"

   Sayu hummed, grabbed the skirt on his thigh unconsciously, and responded, "I'm sorry, I actually had a similar idea before... But now I've finally made up my mind."

   "Have you made up your mind..."

"Yes…!"

   A brief silence.

  Misaki-sensei tilted his head slightly and rubbed his slightly throbbing temple with the thumb of his right hand, bewildered.

   After about ten seconds, she considered her words and asked, "Even if you say so... Then what are you going to do about the Hokkaido University's recommendation qualifications?"

   Sayu nodded and responded: "Because Hokkaido University doesn't need entrance exams, I will go to Tokyo after the unified entrance examination and take entrance exams for other schools."

   "...So that's the case, so you didn't give up Hokkaido University completely, did you?"

   "Yes, I thought so..."

  Misaki-sensei was relieved when he heard this, and he sighed with relief, and then asked: "Then if the result in Tokyo is not smooth..."

   "In that case... I will go to Hokkaido University." Sayu lowered his head and whispered an apology.

   "You don't need to apologize, it's a very mature idea to leave a way back for yourself. It's fine if you can think about it...and also, have you told your family about this?"

"…not yet."

   "Is that so..." Looking at the girl who shook her head gently, Misaki-sensei couldn't help but feel a little troubled, but she still said, "Anyway, this matter should be discussed with the family, okay?"

   "…Well, I will."

   Feeling that the atmosphere became a little heavy, Misaki-sensei quickly changed the subject.

   "About the university over there in Tokyo, have you already chosen your target?"

   "Well, it's chosen." Sayu raised his head and said, "Zaoying University, Aoyama College, and the guaranteed Undead Sichuan University...I think so for the time being, but it depends on the exam time."

   "Well, let's not talk about Zaoying and Qingxue... Judging from your grades, it's not impossible to do. As for the Undying Sichuan University..."

  Misaki-sensei stopped here, her eyes became a little helpless, and then she continued.

   "That's already a second-rate university, right? Could it be that you would rather go to a second-rate university than a first-rate university like Hokkaido University?"

   "Huh? That's not the case..." Sayu blinked and turned his eyes to the side, thinking of the dream in the morning for no reason, as if a voice kept calling her to go to Tokyo...

   Seeing her unconvincing performance, Misaki-sensei sighed deeply in distress.

   No matter how she thought about it, she would never have imagined that the student who should have had the most trouble had a problem.

   In the end, it can only be attributed to young people's desire to the outside world and the pursuit of dreams.

   Although she felt that this was a bit ill-considered, it was the student’s own business after all, and she would only give advice and not make a lot of betrayal.

   Thinking of this, is to ponder for a moment.

   "Since you have this idea, I have Zaoying and Qingxue's red book there, you can take it back and read it later."

   "Huh? Well, how can this be, I can just buy it myself." Sayu waved his hands again and again and said.

   But Mr. Misaki insisted very much, and took her back to the desk and gave her the collection of past exam questions from the two schools.

   As for the Red Book of Undead Sichuan University...because it was too unpopular, she didn't buy it either.

   "All in all, you just need to prepare for Zaoying and Qingxue. You don't need to prepare for the university. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time."

   Mr. Misaki added: "And remember to tell your family about this as soon as possible, we need to reschedule a tripartite meeting, understand?"

   Sayu, who was holding the book, was silent for a while, and then bowed deeply, "Thank you, I will, Misaki-sensei."

   "Well, then that's it, you also hurry back to eat."

   "Well, I see, goodbye teacher."

   Sayu greeted respectfully and left the teacher's office.

   Strolling in the corridor during the lunch break, the sun shines in from the window, and the leaves rustle in the breeze.

  Tall trees stand at the corners outside the teaching building.

   Before you know it, the green leaves have turned dark yellow.

  Some students are sitting under the tree and having lunch. The clean white shirts look very neat, and they are very neat.

   Sayu involuntarily stopped, stood by the window and looked down, suddenly feeling that this scene was very good.

   It would be nice if it was summer…

   Sunshine, trees, teenagers under the trees.

   has a very cinematic feel.

  “…”

   Thinking back to the conversation with Misaki-sensei.

   She hesitated for a while, but took out her mobile phone and dialed a certain number.

   "Hello? Mom? Um...I have something I want to tell you and my brother, can the three of us talk about it tonight..."

  …

   So it was night.

  Ogihara's restaurant, where members of the family rarely gather together.

   Including my brother, who is always busy with company affairs, also returned home early today, ready to listen to the "important things" my sister said on the phone.

  The table is full of hearty dishes, which were specially prepared by the girl for the evening party, and she put a lot of effort into it.

  It was on such an occasion that Sayu, who mustered up the courage, told the truth to his two relatives about what he talked about with his teacher today.

   After hearing what she said…

   "—Tokyo??"

   Not surprisingly, Mrs. Ogihara's eyes widened in astonishment, her thoughts paused.

   Beside Ogihara is also stunned, never expected to encounter such an incident.

   After a period of easing.

   Mrs. Ogihara immediately expressed her opinion, "Why go to Tokyo?? What about Hokkaido University? I don't agree."

Sayu is not surprised by this, but calmly stated his thoughts again, and said that he would not give up the recommendation qualification of Hokkaido University, but only tried to go to other schools on this basis, and it would not affect the final result. go to school.

   In order to make it easier for her mother to accept it, she concealed things about Fudogawa University.

   Mrs. Ogihara's expression improved a little, but it was still unacceptable, so she began to persuade.

   "Even so, the media studies and educational psychology of Hokkaido University are not bad, right? Why did you go to Tokyo specially?"

   "Because I want to go."

   Sayu knew that such a simple reason would not work, so he said the pretext that he had prepared in advance.

   "Because there are more job opportunities in Tokyo than in Hokkaido, and related companies and institutions are more complete.

  Although you can wait until after graduating from university to go to work, but if you go there early to familiarize yourself with the situation, you can have more internship opportunities. "

   This is a very reasonable reason, Ogihara nodded lightly in approval.

   But Mrs. Ogihara didn't think so, and put forward her own ideas.

   "Although there are indeed many job opportunities in Tokyo, have you ever thought that the competition there is also very cruel? University is not the end, but a starting point, and then there will be more realistic employment issues."

   "Maybe you are yearning for the prosperity of the city now and want to go outside to pursue your dreams, but it is full of countless risks and costs."

"I have also met many parents during my year at PTA, and learned a lot of examples. It's not an exception for kids who fantasize about getting good grades out there, but you know it's going to happen in the end. How many people are there?"

   Maybe she felt that her tone was a little too strong, she paused here for a while, and continued speaking in a slightly gentler tone.

   "The number of people who succeed is one in a hundred, and more are just a few feathers. Such a probability is not worth the risk at all, and a small place is not without benefits."

   "At least in Hokkaido, we are here no matter what happens. According to your grades, it won't be too difficult whether you are taking the civil service exam or anything else."

   "Just live a stable life like this, meet a reliable person to start a family in the future, and live a simple and happy life, isn't it?"

   Mrs. Ogihara's voice slowly spread, causing the restaurant to fall into a deep silence.

   Compared to before.

   Although her words were harsh at this moment, she was not selfishly trying to tie up her daughter, but she was really thinking about how to make her child happy. This is definitely not a lie.

   It was because of hearing this that Sayu and Isa became extremely quiet.

  Time has changed many people and many things.

   Even Mrs. Ogihara, who was once selfish enough to be unworthy of being a mother, has really taken on the responsibility of a mother after experiencing some things, and is seriously planning for her child.

   Sayu couldn't help rubbing his eyes, feeling a little warm in the depths of his eyes, and even felt that it was not a bad thing to just follow his mother's words and live a step-by-step life compared to his own whim...

   But at this moment, an unfamiliar voice suddenly rang deep in my mind.

   "—Go save her, don't be afraid."

  The voice is calm and decisive, but it seems to come from an extremely distant place, like a mirage-like illusory…

"Eh?"

   Sayu couldn't help being startled, and looked around subconsciously, trying to find the source of the sound, but there were only three of them in the huge restaurant, and there was no fourth figure.

   "What's wrong? Sayu." Ogihara Kazusa asked strangely when she saw her reaction, pulling her consciousness back.

   "...No, it's nothing." Sayu shook his head blankly, then raised his hand to press his chest, squeezed the cinnabar bottle around his neck through his clothes, and slowly relaxed.

   "Tokyo..." She murmured, thinking of the dream early in the morning, her heart that had been shaken slowly became firm, as if there was some kind of force behind her.

   met the eyes of his mother and brother.

   Sayu slowly raised his eyes, looked at the former with clear and firm eyes, then took a deep breath and said:

   "Sorry! Mom, but I have to go to Tokyo, please—!"

  As the voice settled, there was a long silence in the restaurant.

   The girl's attitude is extremely sincere, but it is also mixed with a kind of unshakable courage.

   Looking at the daughter in front of her, Mrs. Ogihara opened and closed her mouth, wanting to say something, and finally closed it slowly.

   Her complexion kept changing.

   "Do I have to go to Tokyo...?"

   "…Yes, sorry."

   Another moment of silence.

   After hesitating for a long time, Mrs. Ogihara let out a long sigh.

   "...So it is, if this is your will, then so be it."

   Although it was a little reluctant, I still agreed.

  Sha Xianxian was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up immediately, and at the same time, a feeling of wanting to cry spread in his chest.

   "Mom..." She murmured with red eyes, and said in a choked voice, "Thank you for forgiving my willfulness."

   "...Okay, stop crying."

   Mrs. Ogihara avoided her gaze, as if she was not used to this kind of posture, and then looked at her smiling son, thought about it, and said:

   "There is also Yisa, since she insists on going to school in Tokyo, you will have to take care of her financially."

  Ogihara gave a hearty smile and agreed without hesitation.

   "Don't worry, Mom, our family's money isn't even enough for Sayu to go to college."

   After saying this, the older brother looked at the red-eyed younger sister on the opposite side, and said warmly, "Okay, since mom agrees, don't cry anymore, Sayu, let's continue to eat."

   Sayu pulled out a tissue, wiped the tears from his eyes, and nodded heavily.

"Um-!"

  …

   Thank you [Li Murong sns], [Rinne Lin], [Qi Feilan], and [Liang Bo] for their tips.
