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

   Chapter 458 Off-Campus Teaching (6)

   After all, Kato Yusuke still carried Hasumi Kanoko for a while, and put her down at a distance from the downstream fishing spot.

   After that, he pretended to be normal, and kept a certain distance and walked down.

   Even so, Hasumi Kanoko enjoyed it very much.

When    arrived downstream, there were quite a few students an hour ago now, and I don’t know whether they returned to the camp or changed to a new fishing spot.

   When they saw them, some extroverted students waved their hands to say hello, and the more enthusiastic ones even ran up to talk to them.

   Hasumi Kanoko, who has entered the role of a teacher, responds fluently and kindly responds to the topics of each student.

   That is not a deliberately pretentious acting or mask, but there is also a sense of responsibility for the work and original character.

   Just like Sawamura Yingli's gorgeousness, Kasumigaoka Shiyu's refusal, and Kato Megumi's approachable.

  Beauty teacher Hasumi Kanoko's good temper is also well known in the school.

   As for Yusuke Kato, there is basically nothing to say. His situation is already the pinnacle of the students in the whole school.

  Some people look up to him, some like him, some hate him...but no one ignores him.

   If he is described according to the theory of campus caste, he has already broken away from the superficial category of "1st Army" and "2nd Army", and has almost reached the pinnacle of students.

  Complete both civil and military, all-round sports.

   The fantasy reversal on the following grams, the championship title of the National Senior Competition, the academic performance of the first grade, and the tidbits that have been circulating in the dark recently…

   If youth is an inspirational history, maybe some people will use him as a template to write a book or not.

  Under such circumstances, the two returned to the outdoor cooking area together and walked towards their respective classes.

   Brother Mangosteen came back earlier than him, and was squatting on the ground and talking to Himekawa Yoshiko.

   Kato Yusuke raised his foot and walked up.

   There was a bamboo dustpan in front of the three of them, which contained a lot of ingredients.

   got closer, and the content of the conversation was passed into his ears.

   "Let me see, these are shiitake mushrooms, dance mushrooms, slippery mushrooms, swamp mushrooms, fungus... Seriously, are you looking for too many mushrooms?"

   "Long-winded, aren't there still radishes and wild vegetables here!?"

   "Eh~~Then tell me, how can I cook with these alone?"

   "Who knows! Besides, that's something your cooking team has to consider??"

   "I only need meat! Ah Xiao, Kako."

  " "The problem is not here! ""

   When Yamaguchi and Kako were complaining about Takei together, Kato Yusuke started talking.

   "With the existing ingredients, it should be possible to make mushroom hot pot."

  " "Kato! ""

   "Kato-san!"

  The three of them turned their faces one after another, and then they noticed the metal bucket in his hand and the fish that was so full that it was about to fall out.

"""-many fish!?"""

   "Wow, you are too fierce, right?" Yamaguchi Takahashi couldn't help smacking his tongue.

   "Ooooooooooo! Meat—!"

   "Wait a minute, that's a fish, Takei-san." Kako first complained with a wry smile, and then asked in surprise.

   "Did you catch all these? Kato-san."

   "No, I just happened to find a good place, and Hasumi-sensei also helped a lot." Kato Yusuke explained calmly, summing up his encounter with Hasumi Kanoko by chance.

   Not surprisingly, all three were surprised by his catch.

   Looking at the team of Class F for the first year, the situation was similar, and even worse. At this time, Hasumi Kanoko was excitedly surrounded by students.

   The two met eyes at one moment, and separated the next second.

   After discussion, they decided not to hide the fact of their encounter.

   After all, the two went in the same direction when they were fishing, and they both brought back so much harvest, it would be a bit far-fetched to say that they didn't see each other.

   So instead of concealing it to attract suspicion, it is better to admit it generously, just hide the key part of it.

   At this time, Yamaguchi continued to ask: "How many fish are there? Kato."

   "I haven't counted them too much, maybe more than twenty."

   "That is to say, if others bring back a little more, can everyone basically get one?"

"Great-!"

   "Thank you for your hard work, Kato-san~! In addition, Yamaguchi-san and Takei-san, please take these ingredients to the management office for confirmation, and then you can prepare lunch."

   When Yoshiko said this, Yamaguchi couldn't help complaining: "Really, you really know how to command people."

   "It's not what I want to do either. Asking the administrator to check whether there is any toxicity is obviously what the teacher said!"

   "Ah, I got it, got it, let's go, Takei!"

   "OK!"

After   , the Mangosteen brothers left together.

   Kato Yusuke helped send the fish to the food processing team, and then returned to the wooden house and changed into a light sportswear.

   When we returned to the outdoor cooking area again, the students who collected the ingredients had basically all returned.

   The logistics team took the inspected ingredients and went to the stream to wash them.

  The cooking team received kitchen knives, cutting boards, soup spoons, metal lunch boxes and other kitchen utensils from the teacher.

  In the wide area, the students responsible for making the fire also received charcoal, igniters, and cultural fire sticks from the teacher, ready to make the fire.

   Kato Yusuke observed, then walked towards a certain location.

"what are you doing here?"

  “—!”

   seemed to be startled, the petite girl's shoulders trembled, and then she turned her head and said angrily:

   "Don't suddenly appear behind others! Besides, you can see what I'm doing right?"

   "I mean, how did you take on the job of making a fire?"

   "I chose it myself. After all, I'm not good at cooking, and I'm not good at other things, so this is the only thing I can do."

   "Can it be done? Make a fire."

   "This, because I have watched the teacher's demonstration well, I think there is no problem." Yingri nodded lightly, as if to cheer herself up.

   Kato Yusuke crouched down beside her, ready to take care of her.

  Perhaps seeing his plan, Yingri glanced at him, then put on work gloves and began to prepare.

  Insert the blackened metal rack into the soil on both sides of the fire, and set up a pole on it to support the metal lunch box later.

   "Here needs to be buried a little more firmly, otherwise there is a risk of falling over." Kato Yusuke said, reaching out and inserting the two metal frames into the soil again, and tamped the ground.

  “…”

  Eri Li pursed her lips lightly and watched this scene quietly without speaking.

   After he got out of the way, he started to stack the charcoal, like building blocks, under the bracket, and then inserted the cultural fire stick into the gap between the charcoal.

   When he was about to set the fire, Kato Yusuke spoke again.

   "Don't worry. The charcoal can't be stacked like this, so the charcoal will burn very slowly and it will not be easy to ignite."

   "...how to do it then?"

   "Put the fire stick in the center and place the charcoal around."

   "However, if you put the charcoal directly on the accelerant, it will be easier to touch the fire, right?"

   "No, it's better to leave some space between the charcoal, so that the air can get in and out more easily."

   Kato Yusuke stretched out a hand and, while explaining patiently, rearranged the charcoal and cultural fire sticks.

  Because of not wearing gloves, the left hand that touched the charcoal quickly became dirty and stained black.

   Ying Lili frowned instinctively and hurriedly said: "Wait! Why did you just grab it, at least put on gloves..."

   "I'll wash my hands later. Well, it's like this, now it's time to set fire." Kato Yusuke said and stepped aside, motioning her to start the fire.

  Eriri stared at his hand for a while, then took out the igniter and moved closer to the culture stick.

   "Don't be nervous, but be careful."

   "Hi, long-winded... I still know this."

  Clap, orange and blue flames burst from the igniter, igniting the cultural fire stick.

   Kato Yusuke picked up a branch at random, poked the charcoal, and stacked the new charcoal on top.

   Before long, the charcoal made a dry crackling sound.

   He put down the branches and picked up a fan instead, fanning the fire like a grilled eel, letting the flames spread over the charcoal.

   "Okay, that's amazing—!" the girl next to her couldn't help but said, her face bursting with joy.

   Kato Yusuke slightly relaxed the corners of his mouth, and affirmed with a smile: "Although it's just to make a fire, but you did a great job, Eiri."

   Ying Lili's face turned slightly red, she quickly coughed a few times to muddle through, and at the same time glanced at him, and mumbled softly: "What, it's so strange..."

   "What's weird?"

   "I said you look strange, why are you so skilled at making fires?"

   "Ah, you're talking about this."

   Kato Yusuke glanced at the proficient camping skill he had exchanged last time, and then explained casually: "After all, I have experience working in a ramen shop before."

   "Huh? What does this have to do with a ramen shop?"

   "Because I work in the kitchen, I will encounter situations where I need to make a fire."

  Eriri tilted her head, vaguely feeling that something was not right, but she didn't quite understand it. In the end, she nodded and reluctantly accepted the statement.

   Her gaze was naturally downward, and it landed on the black hand that was resting on her knees.

   "...Well, stretch out your hand."

"What did you say?"

   "I told you to stretch out your hand, how can you look at it so dirty!"

   In Kato Yusuke's puzzled eyes, the girl who took off her work gloves just grabbed his left hand and wiped it carefully with a wet towel.

  The sound of running water evokes a cool wind, and the sunlight sheds from the leaves is very comfortable.

  The small hands are very soft and slightly cool. The slender fingertips pressed on the palm of his hand, and wiped away the dirt on it with a wet towel.

   While wiping, he complained that you were dirty, and his delicate little face was full of disgust.

   Looking at Eiri like this, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but smile, the expression on his face became gentle, and finally patted her head after his hands became clean.

   "Thank you, Eiri."

   "Don't touch me! At least wash your hands first..."

  Eri Ri looked up at his hand in annoyance, but didn't mean to dodge it, but just stayed on the spot and clenched the hand on his knee lightly.

   "Is there any discomfort in your body?"

   "It has nothing to do with you, right?"

   "Off-campus teaching, just have fun."

   "Then, that kind of thing, even if you don't say it, I know..."

   The sound is a little muffled.

   Kato Yusuke raised his fan again, blowing the wind.

  The jet-black charcoal gradually turned red, and the sparks were jumping with excitement.

   After a while.

   "He... Yusuke..."

"What's up?"

   "Tomorrow, you're going to help build a bonfire, right?"

   "Ah, that's right."

   "Then, at the end, there should be a folk dance?"

  's voice trembled slightly unnaturally.

   "No, it should be a barbecue party, right? But there will probably be people dancing spontaneously, so that's fine, do you want to participate?"

  "It's not!"—Eriri instinctively wanted to refute, then she fell silent again and lowered her head.

   Then, a whisper-like evasion sounded softly.

   "Such as, if you dance at the end...to, to, to, one...together!"

   She paused at this point, took a deep breath, and then said in one gulp:

   "—Together! Eat a lot of delicious barbecue!?"

   Kato Yusuke turned his face, frowned slightly, and said, "...Although it's not impossible, I still need to eat more vegetables to supplement nutrition."

   "No, I—"

   "President, Sawamura-san~!"

   At this moment, Shinjoka came over with two paper cups.

   "Thank you~ Have a drink?"

   As the paper cup was handed in front of him, Eri also lost the chance to speak, and just reluctantly said thank you.

"……thanks."

   "Don't be polite to me~" Shinjoka responded with a smile and continued.

   "You set a beautiful fire, Sawamura-san, can you put the lunch box on it to cook?"

   "Huh? Ah, um... OK."

   After receiving the affirmation of Ying Lili, Shinjoka ran to get the lunch box, and hung it on the bracket above the fire one after another.

   Feeling that there was nowhere to help himself, Yusuke Kato walked to the bench near the cooking area and sat down leisurely like an old man.

   Take out your phone.

  Thanks and greetings to Mr. Yoshida who sent the photo of Xiao Kuro.

   After a brief chat.

   Kato Yusuke also had no intention of wandering around here, so he got up again and went to the cooking area to help.

  Perhaps his previous opinion was adopted, and the students in the cooking group started to cook hot pot food.

  Fish, wild vegetables, radishes, mushrooms and fungus, all kinds of ingredients are added to a cauldron one after another.

  Mei, who was wearing a plain apron, stood in front of the pot and added various seasonings to the pot from time to time. The calm and indifferent temperament exuded from her body was very touching.

   "It's hard work, let me help you stir it."

   "Well~ I'll trouble you then."

   Kato Yusuke greeted him in a natural tone, and Megumi responded as usual, moving a little bit to the side to give him some space.

   picked up the long-handled wooden spatula on the side, put it into the soup pot, and then slowly began to stir like a witch boiling poison.

  A lot of cooking smoke rose from the surroundings, and the smell of charcoal wafted in the air.

  In the atmosphere of concerted efforts, time flies by.

  …
