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

   On the second morning after arriving in Chino City, everyone unanimously decided to go mountain climbing.

  Baihua Lake Scenic Area is built among the mountains, and the environment is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is a famous local tourist attraction.

  After having breakfast at the hotel, the group got ready and then climbed towards the highest nearby hill.

  Although it is said to be a hill, the place they are going to can easily climb up even high school students, and the height is about 100 meters.

  Considering the strong wind on the mountain, everyone dressed very tightly.

  They started from the hotel and walked about three kilometers along the uphill road to the observatory.

   This place is a temporary parking lot, facing the entire Baihua Lake Resort, with a panoramic view.

  On the clear sky in winter, there are cotton-like clouds floating.

   Looking into the distance.

  The whole scenic spot is like a basin with a gap.

  The gray mountain forest is covered with white snow, and a few winter buds appear sporadically on the bare branches. There is vitality in the silence, as if it indicates that spring is coming.

   Whenever the cold wind blows, the branches will shake rustlingly. After getting used to the coldness, people will feel comfortable because of the fresh air.

  As March approaches, the winter snow is quietly melting.

  Although there are large pieces of floating ice on the blue-green lake, the melted part is also rippling with spring.

  The bright sunshine shines on the sparkling lake water. Occasionally, a school of fish jumps out of the water suddenly, and the birds will sing loudly, spreading their wings and skimming across the lake.

"says…"

  Ying Lili frowned bluntly, and said with disgust:

   "Except for a little snow, there is nothing else here! Is it necessary to run here?"

  Hearing this, Serizawa Yuu let out a little surprise.

   "But I think this kind of feeling of looking at the snow-white is great, don't you like this kind of thing, Ms. Sawamura?"

  Yoshida on the side slightly nodded his head in agreement, took a deep breath and moved his body.

  Ying Lili slightly pulled up the scarf around her neck, and shook her head.

   "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that my father takes us to the Nasu Highlands every year to escape the summer heat and watch the snow. Although there is no lake there, it is very quiet because there are few people there."

   "Eh~~ Is that so? Brother Yu."

  Yu Serizawa nodded with a vague understanding, then turned her head to look somewhere.

  Yusuke Kato was helping Shiwa tidy up her scarf. Hearing this, he glanced at them and explained:

   "...I don't know the specific situation, but Yinglili's family has her own private villa over there, so there are no ordinary tourists. You don't have to worry too much about it."

   "Private, private villa..." Serizawa Yu scratched her cheek in embarrassment, "So, so that's the case... ahaha."

   And the others looked at a certain young lady with indescribable faces, and had nothing to say.

   It can only be said that the joys and sorrows of people are not connected.

  When everyone is still busy with their lives, a certain daughter has long since lost her troubles and is no longer disturbed by these vulgar things...

  Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help smiling wryly.

  Under such circumstances, Kanoko Hasumi spoke up.

   "Well, Sawamura-san, in fact, this side of Shirakaba Lake has not always been like this. Although it can't be seen now, this is actually a place with four distinct seasons?"

  "In spring and summer, the place will turn into a sea of ​​green forest, with lush branches and leaves like a canopy, and the hillside behind the hotel will be full of colorful gardenias."

   "In autumn, frost leaves will cover the ground again, dyeing this broad-leaved forest fiery red. Whenever sunrise and sunset, the beautiful Venus belt will appear in the sky here."

   "As for winter, some tourists will come here to ski and soak in hot springs. Maybe you don't like the current appearance of Baihua Lake very much, but this is a view that can only be enjoyed now~"

  With a gentle smile on her face, she explained the changes of the four seasons of Baihua Lake to everyone, as if she had returned to the time when she was teaching in school.

  Everyone listened to this vivid explanation, their eyes showed fascination, and finally they were amazed.

   """""...Good, amazing!"""""

   "Miss Hasumi knows a lot, it's amazing~!"

   "Well, Hasumi-sensei has been here before?"

   Sagara Mayu and Kei spoke one after another, making the parties slightly taken aback.

   "Huh...? No, nothing like that... These things are all available on the Internet. I just looked at them a little bit. It's not as exaggerated as everyone said."

  Looking at Kanoko Hasumi who was suddenly surrounded by everyone and waved her hands shyly, Yusuke Kato couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth with a gentle expression on her face.

   Then, he looked back again.

  Xintiaoxiang was walking slowly, leaning on the guardrail, and her furry snow boots stepped on the snow-covered ground one by one.

  Seeing that she seemed to be struggling, Kato Yusuke went up to help.

   "Give me your hand."

"Huh?"

   "Pay attention to your feet, don't fall."

   "President...?"

  Xinjoxiang looked at the hand that was reaching out, and was stunned for a second, then happily held it, and walked to the flat area with his help.

   "Thank you, President~~"

"Won't."

  Everyone stayed on the observatory for a while, and Ying Lili suddenly proposed:

   "I always feel that the opportunity is rare...I want to go to the woods to sketch, can we go down and have a look?"

   Everyone looked at each other and agreed unanimously.

  So a group of people moved from the observatory to the mountains and forests, and then moved freely.

  Taking advantage of Shiwa and Eiriri's daily bickering, Kato Yusuke chased after a certain figure, and caught up with him at the pier by the lake.

Ding-

  The zippo lighter beeped crisply, and the cigarette between the man's fingers ignited an orange-red halo.

   "Mr. Yoshida."

   "...Huh? What, it's you..."

  Yoshida who heard the voice turned his head to look, Kato Yusuke nodded slightly.

   "Are you smoking here?"

   "Oh... just a little itchy mouth, what's the matter?"

   "It's nothing, I just came to say sorry to you."

"What?"

   "It's about that incident last night."

"last night…"

  Yoshida suddenly reacted in the middle of speaking, his face became extremely speechless, and scolded with a black face: "You kid is outrageous, can't you pay more attention to the occasion!?"

   "I'm sorry, what happened yesterday was a little unexpected, I promise I won't disturb you, Mr. Yoshida next time."

   "Stupid! It's not just this problem, is it? You should also pay attention to who you attack? It means that your girlfriend is also in the hotel. Are you not afraid of being discovered if you are so unscrupulous?"

   "They were in the shower, so it shouldn't matter."

   "Your kind of optimistic thinking... um—? They—!?!?"

"…Um?"

  Yusuke Kato looked at him thoughtfully, and smiled vaguely: "...Sorry, because Mr. Yoshida said that to me last time, I thought you knew."

  Yoshida was taken aback, and subconsciously asked: "What do I know??"

   "It's about me, Kano, and Shiba-senpai."

   "Wait! You said Miss Hasumi!? I remember she is not your old..."

   "—It's not anymore." Kato Yusuke interrupted him calmly, "Since we established our relationship, she has resigned."

   "—!"

  Yoshida's eyes widened in astonishment, and the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground with a "slap". He hurriedly bent down to pick it up, shivering, put it back in his mouth and took a sharp breath.

   "Huh—I said...are you kidding me...?"

   "Didn't Mr. Yoshida date an older senior from the baseball club? Isn't this kind of thing common?"

   "Ordinary... you ghost! How is this the same!? It's completely different, okay? You kid is so bold that you even dare to tease the teacher?"

   "What to say..."

   Kato Yusuke squatted down by the pier, leisurely staring at the bottomless lake, "The difference between me and Kano is that she chased me."

"-ah!?"

  Yoshida was a little silent, and suddenly said in the next second: "Come on now!"

  The furious look made Kato Yusuke couldn't help smiling, as if the person in front of him was not his neighbor, but the mangosteen brothers who played tricks all day long.

  He shrugged his shoulders without saying anything.

  Yoshida gritted his teeth and asked again: "Then what about the girl from yesterday? What's your relationship?"

   "Xinjo and I... are the contract objects in the same situation, right?"

   "Then, what about the sister Yu who drove a sports car to find you before?"

   "Oh... you mean little aunt."

"What??"

   "Well, the relationship between me and Qian is complicated. In fact, she has always coveted me and wanted to trick me into being her a cow, but... I won in the end."

  “…Being a cow and a horse? What do you mean?”

   "To put it simply, it is to tell me to give up working hard to start a business, and go to work under her and wait to die."

   "..."

  Yoshida's lips trembled, and suddenly he didn't want to say a word.

  Sea King, it’s not like he hasn’t seen…

  But the sea has reached such a level that it is really the first time for a big girl to get on a sedan chair for others to rush up and down!

  Thinking of him as a good-looking older youth, when he is still thinking about the girl he likes, his confidante over there can gather a table of mahjong!

   It is simply unheard of and unseen, and it is unreasonable to be shameless—!

   Makes people **** envious...

  Everything suddenly became dull.

  Yoshida pouted, paused for a moment and said, "...can I ask you a question?"

"go ahead."

   "How did you survive until now?"

"Um??"

   "I mean, how do you hang out with so many people at the same time without being discovered?"

   Facing this inquiry, Kato Yusuke temporarily moved his eyes away from the lake, and turned his head to look.

   "...Actually, I didn't hide anything. If I had to say it, I was just lucky to be accepted by Kano-chan and Shiba-senpai."

   "...what did you say?"

   "That is to say, we are together on the premise of knowing each other."

   "Puff—oh cough cough... cough cough...!"

  Yoshida coughed violently, and was speechless for a long time. His heart was greatly shocked, and then he scratched the back of his head irritably, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth and said:

   "No, no, even if you are both willing... Then if you want to marry a certain person in the future, how do you plan to deal with other people? Do you want to break up?"

  Kato Yusuke narrowed his eyes, and said indifferently: "...I don't know about the future, but I will not give up on them, and I will be responsible until the end."

   "You said you were responsible for..."

  Yoshida felt extremely speechless with his ambiguous answer, and couldn't help complaining: "How can you be responsible for this kind of thing?"

"all will be good."

   "Ah... Forget it, anyway, it's not my turn to worry about these things, so it's up to you... But—"

  He frowned, and scolded angrily: "You kid has provoked so many women, sooner or later you will suffer!"

   Kato Yusuke nodded lightly, looked at the rippling lake again, and responded with a half-smile:

"…yes."

  …

   After parting with Yoshida, he didn't want to return to the assembly point for a while, so he chose a direction for a walk at random.

   Walking slowly along the narrow mountain path, after walking for about a quarter of an hour, a flat rock in the forest caught his attention.

   To be precise, it was the owner sitting on the rock that attracted him.

   "...Hui?"

   Kato Yusuke paused and walked up, "What are you doing here?"

   "...Huh ~ Yusuke?"

   Kei, who was lowering her head, heard the sound and immediately put her right foot down on the rock, but she didn't put on her shoes.

   "That~ why did you come here...?"

   "I was chatting with Mr. Yoshida at the pier just now, so I came here by the way."

   Kato Yusuke observed her while talking, his eyes passed over the medical box and socks placed on the rock, and then looked down.

   Sensing his gaze, Hui hurriedly hid her naked right foot behind her left leg, but she still couldn't escape his eyes.

   "Your foot hurt?"

   "...well, probably."

"perhaps?"

   "Ah, it's not a serious problem. It's just that the shoes I bought don't fit well, and the skin is a little worn out. I'm going to deal with it."

   "Is this so..."

   Kato Yusuke nodded, and squatted down directly.

   "Let me see the wound."

"Huh…?"

   "You can't take the medicine yourself, I'll help you."

   "...No, I'll just do it myself."

   "I have been taken care of by you, at least let me help with this matter."

"But…"

"Any questions?"

"this…"

  Hui showed a troubled expression, and said with some embarrassment: "Because... I walked for a long time, and it's a bit dirty... It's rude to ask you to help like this."

   Kato Yusuke looked up at her, then grabbed her right ankle regardless of resistance, and placed it on top of his left knee.

   "Huh? That, that, Yusuke...?"

   "Don't worry about such trivial things, Hui has helped me treat my wounds before, so you don't have to be polite."

"Well…?"

   "By the way, can I trouble you to hand me the tools?"

  Kato Yusuke smiled heartily, while Kei sighed depressedly.

   "...Really, sometimes you really can't listen to what other people say."

   "Sorry, did I bother you?"

   "It's not troublesome... It's better to say that the person who was going to trouble Yusuke was actually me, but..."

"only?"

  Hui turned her face away shyly, and said in a weak voice: "It's just... I haven't been touched by a boy yet, so I always feel so embarrassed."

   Kato Yusuke raised his head abruptly, his eyes focused on the slightly flushed cheeks and ears.

  The next second, the corner of his mouth curved unconsciously.

  …
