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

   Chapter 464 Girl's Night Talk

  After the bonfire party, the students picked up their garbage and cleaned up the main square, and then headed back to the residence.

   While walking on the road, Kato Yusuke suddenly received a call from Aksaka Akane.

   Considering that he didn't know what the other party would say, he told the mangosteen brothers to let them go first, and he went to a secluded place outside the wooden house.

   The answer button was not pressed until a few seconds before the call was hung up.

   "Good evening, Miss Takasaka."

   "Oh, you're not dead yet?"

   An unhappy tone came from the other end of the phone.

   "I was wondering if you encountered some kind of mountain disaster or something, and it turned out to be fine, didn't it?"

   "Just say these things in the big night. You are kept away because of your bad character."

   "Oh? Wasn't he hated so much that he wanted me to die? Your words have become euphemistic~"

   "Take it as a rare kindness."

   "Hehe, that's weird. I'm used to being scolded by others, but being cared about, especially by a boy a few years younger than me, is somewhat subtle."

   "How old are you, um, let alone other things, at least the feeling of this sentence is quite subtle."

  “…”

   Akisaka Zhuyin's words paused, and his voice suddenly dropped twice, "Pay attention to what you say, little bastard."

   Kato Yusuke smiled lightly and asked, "So, what's the matter with calling so late?"

   "It's nothing."

   "That's it?"

   "—If you hang up now, don't blame me for not reminding you when you regret it to the point of crying."

   "Auntie, tell me if you have something to say. The bathhouse here has a time limit for use. If it's too late, I won't be able to take a bath."

   "I can pick you up if you don't want to~ My bathtub is big enough for you to play in it."

   "...Where are you from, Mama-san?"

   A playful laughter rang out.

   "No~ Am I not your benefactor?"

   Kato Yusuke's lips curled up a little, "Almost get to the point, Akane?"

  “…”

   There was a long silence.

   "…Do you want to die? Boy."

   A fast and low voice came over, as if covering up something.

   After a while.

   Akizaka Zhuyin asked: "Anyway, you are still in Chiba Prefecture, aren't you?"

   "Ah, that's right."

"When are you coming back?"

"tomorrow."

   "When exactly do you leave?"

   "Don't you usually ask about the arrival time? The departure time is 8:30 in the morning."

   "Huh~ Okay, I got it."

   "So what's the-"

  "—beep."

  The call was unilaterally interrupted directly.

   Kato Yusuke stared at the phone screen for a while, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he returned to normal, and put the phone back in his pocket.

   He neither called back, nor did he think deeply about the meaning of the call from Aksaka Zhuyin, after all, that person was a bit baffling.

   Until now, he has barely found a sense of getting along with each other. As for more, he will take a step by step.

   Kato Yusuke quickly put this matter behind him and began to think about what souvenirs to bring back to his relatives and friends.

   With this thought in mind, he slowly walked towards the wooden house.

  …

at the same time.

  Eriri, who had taken a bath, dried her hair and returned to the wooden house where she lived from the bathhouse.

   In the room with a light on, Megumi Yoshiko, who lives on the bunk, is sitting on the bed chatting.

   Seeing her coming back, Kako raised her hand and said hello: "Oh~ welcome back, Sawamura-san, are you comfortable taking a bath?"

   "Thank you, Himekawa-san. Well, it's just that the blow dryer in the bathroom is a little weak, so it's inconvenient to blow your hair, and it takes a little time."

   "I understand, I understand. After all, Sawamura-san's hair is long and beautiful, so take good care of it~ It's great, if my hair can be as good as Sawamura-san, at least half of it will be fine."

   Hearing Megumi here, he complained casually, "If it's Kako, at least you need to grow your hair long, right? But I remember you seem to like short hair."

   "Uh~~~~ Should I say I like it or something, I don't hate long hair either, if the time comes, it will naturally grow longer."

   "If that's the case, maybe it won't work until graduation?"

   "Ahh~! No, Xiaohui! How can you say such things at such a time, shouldn't you be encouraging me as a friend!?"

   "Sorry, even if you say so... Basically, Kako's goals are so high that I don't know how to encourage you."

   "That, Megumi..."

   "Huh? What's wrong, Eiri?"

  Eri sat down on the bed next to them and asked hesitantly, "Actually, I ran out of hair oil, can you lend me some of yours?"

   "That's right, um~ okay."

  After rummaging in the storage bag, Megumi handed over her hair oil.

   "I found it, here it is ~ Ying Lili."

   "Well! Thank you~! I'll give you a new one later."

   "It's okay~ This kind of trivial matter, can you finish it by yourself? I can help you if you don't mind."

   "Really? Good is good, but won't this disturb your chat?"

   "Not at all, Sawamura-san."

   Himekawa Yoshiko took the lead and said, "By the way, this is the third night we've stayed together. It doesn't matter if you don't have to be so polite, so can I help together? No, please let me help too!"

"what?"

   "Actually~ I've been wanting to touch your hair for a long time, I want to touch it! So is it okay?"

   "Uh... this, that... Megumi, Megumi?" Eiri shrugged her shoulders and looked at Megumi helplessly.

   That is probably the feeling when I invited her and Yusuke to her in the folk dance, although in fact the invitation that really turned into words was only said to her...

   However, Eiri may not like to be touched by unfamiliar people, so it is not incomprehensible.

  Mei thought about this in her heart, so she opened her mouth and said:

   "Sorry, Kako, I'll help Eri for now. You can watch from the side. Is that all right? Eri."

   "Ah~~~ that, okay."

   "Well, yes."

  Yako lowered her shoulders in despair.

  Eri Li nodded in affirmation, and moved a little space aside, and Megumi sat down beside her.

   "Then I want to start? Eiri."

   "Well, excuse me."

"Won't."

  Mei squeezed some hair oil in the palm of her hand, rubbed it with her fingers, and then climbed up the long blonde hair in front of her and spread it evenly.

   The touch feedback from the fingertips is soft and smooth, and the slight humidity between the hair strands has a unique comfort, which is very comfortable to touch.

  Although she was mentally prepared, when she actually touched Eiri’s hair, Megumi was a little surprised in her heart, and she let out a low “ah” involuntarily.

   "What's wrong? Megumi."

   "No, I just think Eiri's hair is really good."

"Really? Thank you, otherwise Megumi will grow her hair long. I think long hair suits you very well, and the sense of role is more distinct. Unlike now, there is a feeling that you can't find your position, and it is easy to be buried by the people around you. ."

   "Ah, um... Forget about growing your hair, I always think your words are a bit rude, is that my delusion?"

   "It's not an illusion!" Ying Lili twisted her body back and forth, and said in a plausible manner:

"It means that you have grown long before, you should have noticed it when you look in the mirror, right? That's how a heroine should feel. Although there are also some works that use short hair as heroines, but Kei's short hair, the role I can't stand up at all."

   "Ah~ Okay, I don't know if I can find a sense of character, but I will try my best to keep my hair long."

   Kako, who was on the sidelines, burst out laughing when she heard this.

   "Pfft, then me too! Although I don't quite understand some of your words, but on the matter of Xiaohui's long hair, I support you with both hands! Sawamura-san."

   "Uh, thank you, Himekawa-san."

  Eriri thought for a while and said, "Speaking of which, what did Himekawa-san mean about the timing just now?"

"…Eh?"

   "No, you just chatted with Megumi and said that you will grow your hair when the time is right. Is there any special meaning?"

   Himekawa Yoshiko blinked, scratched his cheeks with a dry smile, and said perfunctorily, "...Ahaha, so it's this, um, I said it."

   "…Did I ask something I shouldn't ask?"

   "It's not like that... Well, forget it, it's not something to hide, it's just my obsession. It's okay to tell you if Sawamura-san wants to know."

   With the help of Megumi, it happened that Ying Li Li also applied the hair oil at this time, so the two of them cast their eyes on her at the same time.

   And seeing them like this, Himekawa Yoshiko suddenly felt a little nervous for no reason, so he made a joke.

   "Hmm... it always feels like a girl's heart-to-heart meeting?"

   "Hey! Wait for me."

  Eriri's eyes lit up when she heard this, and then she quickly walked to the other end of the wooden house, took off her sports backpack from the hook on the wall, and ran back with the backpack.

   Under the suspicious eyes of Megumi and Kako, she just unzipped the backpack and buckled it upside down.

  Wash la la la la—

   All kinds of snacks were dumped on the bed.

   "Ah, it's a snack."

   "It's a snack, but why?"

   seems a little embarrassed, Yingri explained: "Since it is a heart-to-heart meeting, generally speaking, we will chat while eating snacks, right? It happened that my mother prepared a lot for me and let me share it with my friends, so..."

  ‘But it’s usually before brushing your teeth… Does Sawamura-san lack common sense in this regard? ’

   Himekawa Yoshiko couldn't help but think so, but the pair of eyes of Kami Yingri's bright eyes became unable to say the words again, as if there was some kind of guilt preventing her.

  While thinking about it, she also opened her mouth and said: "So that's the case, thank you, Sawamura-san~ Then I'll be welcome."

   The three of them took snacks in their hands, and the sound of tearing the package sounded one after another.

   "Ahem, about the question just now, the timing I said is actually nothing special, that is, I like Nakamura-sensei, so I want to wait for the outcome of the matter before deciding this matter."

   "Like? Nakamura-sensei?" Eiri whispered subconsciously, tilting her head in confusion.

   It took a few beats.

   "Huh? Hi, like—? Himekawa-san likes Nakamura-sensei?? That Nakamura-sensei who teaches modern society class!?"

   The unexpected development made her cry out unconsciously, her mouth opened wide, and her thinking fell into confusion.

   "Wow, why are you so surprised, don't you think there are many girls who like Nakamura-sensei? Please stop looking at me like that, Sawamura-san, it's so embarrassing."

   "Uh, ah, sorry, I didn't expect such a serious reason."

   "Seriously...? I said, doesn't Sawamura-san don't like someone?"

   "Wh, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi!? Why? No, that kind of thing!"

With a    puff, the sound of a kettle boiling sounded in the room.

   "Oh ho~? This kind of reaction is so suspicious~!" Himekawa Yoshiko touched her chin, and suddenly became energetic, "Hey, Xiaohui, what do you think?"

   "Ah, um... this topic, it doesn't matter if you ignore me." Hui said casually, not wanting to join it.

   In contrast, Ying Lili was full of anxiety and full of flaws.

   "Hey~ Sawamura-san Sawamura-san, who is the person you like? Can you tell me?"

   "I-I don't have that kind of object—!"

   "Eh~~~ Don't say that, the girls' heart-to-heart meeting is all about talking about this. I've already told you about the person I like. It's too cunning if you only hide it."

   "Yes, but..."

   "Say it, I promise not to tell anyone, so please~~~"

   After a brief silence.

   "Sorry, Himekawa-san, I don't have anyone I like."

   "Huh? But your reaction..."

"-but!"

   Ying Piri coughed lightly, cleared her throat, and pretended to be calm:

   "It's just that I have a very good friend who has talked to me about topics and troubles in this area. If you have to listen, I can briefly talk about her..."

  “…”

   Himekawa Yoshiko blinked his eyes again and again, his expression became a little subtle, and then immediately answered:

   "Okay~! Then please tell me about that friend. Of course, I will also keep it a secret~"

   "Um, uh, thanks...then...where do I start?"

   "Well, why don't you talk about what the boy looks like? Is he handsome? Is he tall? And how did your... friend fall in love with him~"

   "Do you want to be so detailed? No, because I don't know much about some things, she didn't tell me completely, so..."

   "That's it~ That's okay, you can just tell what you know, Sawamura-san~"

   "In that case..."

  Eriri took a deep breath, put a milk candy in her mouth, and began to speak in the name of an outsider.
