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

  Chapter 639 The quietly changing situation

  The conversation between the two girls was not known to others.

   After dinner.

   "—If everyone is interested, would you like to come and play cards together?"

  It may be simply to pass the time, or to ease the atmosphere after something like that happened during the day, Kanoko Hasumi suggested.

  In short, people nodded in agreement with this proposal.

  Because of this, everyone came to Hasami Kanoko and Sagara Mayu's room, and sat in a circle on the ground.

  Mayu Sagara was very active and was the first to raise her hand.

   "So, so, what are we going to play? Is it Texas Hold'em? Blackjack? Or ordinary card catcher? By the way, I can do anything~~!"

  Shiwa, who was sitting on Kato Yusuke's right, opened her mouth somehow.

   "Since it's a joint camp, don't you want to play some games with more atmosphere? How about the king game?"

   "Xiaoxiang, what is the game of kings?"

   With a confused expression, Serizawa Yu asked Shinjoka next to her for answers.

   "It is a game in which the person who plays the role of the king issues instructions and can appoint two numbers to do anything at will, and the person who has been drawn must not disobey."

   "Huh huh—!? Anything? Is the scale of the game like that really okay?"

   "The king's order is absolute, and the participants need to obey unconditionally. This is the rule of the game~"

  Xinjoxiang explained with a sneer, just like a parent bird taking care of a chick.

   Looking at this scene, Sagara Mayu asked curiously, "Miss Serizawa, hasn't she played the game of kings before?"

   "Ah, um~ Our school management is very strict, and things that are not related to study are not allowed to enter the campus, so there is no chance."

   "Really? Do you want to come and have a look~?"

"Is it really possible?"

   "Anyway, it's a rare opportunity, just to experience something new, I think it's great~"

   Seeing the two enthusiastically discussing this matter, Kei had no choice but to step on the brakes appropriately.

   "That... it's about the game of kings. Isn't it too exciting? What should I do if I encounter such an embarrassing order?"

  Serizawa Yuu: "An embarrassing order..."

  Xinjoxiang: "For example, if you want to play a Pocky game with the opposite **** present, it is the kind of game where you eat the same chocolate bar."

  The conversation between Serizawa Yuki and Shinjoka aroused a strong reaction from another person, and Eriri cried out in surprise:

   "P, Pocky game or something... Do you want to play that kind of game with Mr. Yoshida? I can't, I can't help it...!"

   "Hmm... Hey! I don't want to play that kind of game with a group of high school girls!"

   "Forget about Mr. Yoshida~"

   Shinjoka ignored Yoshida who was hit hard, teasingly pulled the corners of his lips, "Conversely, maybe you can play Pocky games with the president~?"

""Huh? With Yusuke (brother Yu)...""

  Eriri and Serizawa Yuu murmured, aiming at someone unconsciously, and fell silent at the same time with pretty blushing faces.

  The overly understandable reaction made Kanoko Hasami smile and made a decision.

   "Well—then let's play the king game, but such obscene orders are strictly prohibited. This is just a game, if you really don't want to, just refuse."

  The speech was reasonable and reasonable, and successfully dispelled Hui's concerns.

   "...um~~ If that's the case, I think it's okay."

  Shi Yuruo glanced at her meaningfully, then turned to the boy on the left, "What do you think, Yo-chan?"

   "Hmm... It doesn't matter if it's a healthy game like Kano-chan said."

   "That means ok~? The others should agree, right?"

  Everyone nodded.

  Yoshida sighed on the sidelines: "...I would rather go back to my room and drink beer than playing a game of kings with a group of high school students."

  Yusuke Kato smiled and asked, "Wouldn't it be drinking alone?"

   "Well... Then I can be the referee, so I won't participate in the game."

   "...referee?"

   "Ah, yes."

  Yoshida patted him on the shoulder and stood up, and walked to the balcony alone with the can of beer he brought.

   "Once one of you is about to go too far, I will NG in time to stop, that's it."

   Seeing that Yoshida had made up his mind, everyone didn't persuade him any more. Some people even breathed a sigh of relief secretly.

  Although there were no people present who would give random orders, but because there were also idiots, having a referee could serve as an insurance policy.

  So—

   "Okay, so then~ The first round of the King's Heartbeat game begins! Yeah~~~!"

   "... slap slap."

   Facing Sagara Mayu's enthusiastic slogan, everyone responded with unmotivated applause in twos and threes.

  The parties didn't mind this, and quickly shuffled the poker cards from 1 to 7 plus a joker card, and put them on the tatami in the middle for everyone to draw.

   "Come on~ have everyone got their cards? It's time to play, get ready—"

   """Who—is the king?"""

   After a brief silence, Shinjoka revealed his trick card.

   "Looks like it's me~"

   "Wow, that's amazing ~ Xiaoxiang." Serizawa Yu was sincerely happy for her, "What order are you going to give?"

   "Well..."

  Xinjoxiang thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Then No. 6 and No. 7 will tell you about your favorite person~"

   "Huh?" Sagara Mayu asked in great surprise, "That won't do you any good at all, can it?"

   "Well, it doesn't matter, just take it as a demonstration for Xiao Xi. Who are number six and number seven?"

   "Ah, I'm number six!"

   Serizawa Yuki raised her hand hastily, and the person following her was Kei.

   "I am number seven."

  The two looked at each other and decided to speak in order.

   Serizawa Yu, who was playing the king game for the first time, had a tense face, her eyes passed the faces of everyone present, and finally fell on the face of Kato Yusuke.

  The girl smiled softly and shyly: "...Well, my favorite person is Brother Yu..."

  As soon as she finished speaking, she lowered her head shyly, causing everyone to smile knowingly.

   "Thank you, Xiao Xi, I like you too."

   "Ah ah... um, yes! Thank you brother Yu... hehehe."

   Kato Yusuke nodded gently, then focused his gaze on the other person's face.

  Hui didn't look at him, and spoke directly.

   "That~~ well, my favorite is my family."

   "Ah!" Sagara cried out in dissatisfaction: "Miss Kato, you are cheating, shouldn't you say this here?"

   "Eh~~Even if you say that, I should have obeyed Shinjo-san's order?"

   "So! So! You're only taking the superficial meaning at all. This approach is too cunning. Obviously Miss Serizawa did a good job."

   "Huh~~?"

  Megumi didn't cooperate with Sagara Mayu, but blinked her eyes in a daze, and didn't answer the question.

   "But, Serizawa-san and Yusuke are family members, right? Is there any difference in our answers?"

"-OK OK."

  Kanoko Renmi interrupted them with a smile.

   "There is no need to worry about this kind of thing. After all, everyone has their own interpretation. Kato-san has completed the order, let's continue to the next round."

   "Woo—Okay then..."

   Sagara really muttered unwillingly: "It would be great if Ms. Shinjo would limit the scope to "the opposite **** in this room". "

  Xinjoxiang smiled slightly, and gave Serizawa Yu a look, which meant—"Do you understand the loopholes in the game~?"

  The game continues.

   "Come on, let's continue playing, get ready—"

   """Who—is the king?"""

  The person who spoke this time was Kanoko Hasumi.

   "Well, it seems to be me. Then... how about number one telling love language to number two? Just pretend."

  Yoshida on the balcony cast his gaze here, and frowned after hearing Sagara Mayu's self-question.

   "Huh? Is this okay!? But it's true... After all, it's a fake. It's really worthy of Hasumi-san, she can skillfully find a compromise between the bad and the bad~ It's amazing."

   Renjian Kanoko smiled and said nothing, but the person who was drawn responded.

  Yusuke Kato: "I am number two."

  Shi Yu: "Oh~? This is fate, I am number one."

   "Uh... won't this be reversed?"

   "Hehe~ Occasionally it's not bad."

   Ignoring Kato Yusuke's discomfort, Shiwa hugged his arm with a smile and chanted his name with a seductive voice.

   "...Hey, Yu-chan."

   "...uh, uh?"

   Kato Yusuke responded, his arm stuck in the mire and unable to extricate himself.

  During this period, Shiyu put her lips on his right ear about a few centimeters away, and asked charmingly, "Do you remember my birthday?"

"Uh-huh."

   "Obviously I didn't understand anything at the time, but Yuu-chan would kiss me well, very gentle."

   "Small, little poem—!?"

  The boy's expression changed drastically, showing a bad expression.

  The young girl looked back, smiled sweetly, looked forward to her beautiful eyes, and murmured in an exciting voice:

   "...you injected a lot into me at that time, and I haven't forgotten it until now."

   "—Gee, give give give give give me a moment!"

  Ying Lili screamed at a super fast speed: "Xia, Xiaxia Xiazhiqiu Shiyu, what are you talking about—!?"

  The others were also shocked, blushing but listening attentively.

  Shiwa, who was interrupted by Ying Lili, turned her face away with a smile, and asked strangely:

   "... Huh? Because Yu-chan made fun of me that day, and poured me a lot of lemon juice. Is there any problem?"

   Sagara Mayu seemed to react suddenly, and shouted loudly:

   "Ah! Is this a homophonic stalk of "tucao" and "insertion"? so funny-! "

   ("Tucao" and "insert" are homonyms in Japanese.)

"""…What?"""

   Everyone looked at each other dumbfounded, and after a second, they lowered their shoulders speechlessly, casting condemning looks at Shi Yu.

  Ying Lili scolded even more bluntly: "Damn, this guy did it on purpose! Guilty!"

   Ren Jian Kanoko sighed helplessly, with a faint smile.

   Serizawa Yu pressed her chest with lingering fear, and said in a low voice, "Scare...Scare me."

   Kato Yusuke rubbed his face, collected himself and stood up.

   "Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom for a while."

  As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly left the room as if fleeing, and did not meet the eyes of other people at all.

  Ying Lili looked at his back, feeling restless in her heart, and simply stood up.

   "Then I'll go back to the room to get some snacks. My mother helped prepare a lot. Let's eat together."

  Unexpectedly, Shi Yu also stood up.

   "In that case, I'll go with you. I just happen to be a little thirsty, so I'll go buy some drinks and come back."

  Ying Lili didn't want to be with her at all, so she walked outside with a cold face, but she was still caught up by her outside the corridor.

   "Sawamura-san, I have something to tell you."

   "What are you doing?"

   "Huh~? You seem to be in a bad mood?"

   "It's not all your fault! Can you stop following me?"

  The two walked side by side towards their own room.

  Shiyu smiled playfully, not paying attention to her bad attitude.

   "It means, your resentment is really big, obviously I still want to give you a gift."

   "I don't need your hypocritical kindness!"

   "Oh? Don't you want to become intimate with Yu-chan?"

   "...Huh?" Ying Lili paused and turned her face away, "What do you mean??"

   "Well~ I just think I should let you see my sincerity before you make a choice, but it's actually like this..."

   As he spoke, Shi Yu moved closer to her ear and began to whisper.

  …

  When they returned to everyone, everyone including Kato Yusuke was ready.

  Mayuki Sagara said loudly with a look of impatience: "You two, it's so slow~!"

  Shiyu raised the plastic bag in her hand and replied:

   "Well, because we bought drinks for everyone, we made a detour to the front desk to ask for bags, otherwise we wouldn't be able to hold them."

  Ying Lili sat down in her seat without saying a word, and dumped the snacks in another plastic bag in the middle.

   "...I brought all the snacks, everyone choose what you like."

   "Wow~!"

  Mayu Sagara stared at the snacks on the tatami with a curious face, and said emotionally: "There are a lot of unfamiliar snacks, and they all look so high-end!"

  Ying Lili nodded, and glanced at Shi Yu opposite.

   "... these are brought back by my father from abroad, you are welcome to eat as much as you want."

"""Thanks!"""

  Everyone thanked her one after another, picked out their favorite snacks and drinks, and—

   "Okay, since Mr. Kashiwagi Eri and Mrs. Kashiko Shiko are back, let's continue~! Get ready—"

   """Who—is the king?"""

   "Oh, I didn't expect to be able to draw the king as soon as I came back."

  Shiwa was a little surprised to show her ghost card, and leaned towards Kato Yusuke, "Then~ what should I ask Yu-chan to do?"

  Hearing her meaningful tone, Yoshida on the balcony reminded: "If it goes too far than the one just now, I will stop it in time?"

   "...tsk."

  Shiyu lowered the corner of her mouth in dissatisfaction, pinched her chin with her right hand as if thinking, and glanced over the faces of the members present one by one.

   When it was almost her turn, Ying Lili's body tensed unconsciously.

  She turned her eyes away from Shi Yu, stretched out five fingers of her right hand unintentionally, and straightened her ponytail.

  The next second, the king's order sounded.

   "Then...let's play Pocky game with number one and number five."

"""…Huh?"""

  So everyone reacted at the same time.

  Mayu Sagara: "Wow... I really deserve to be Teacher Kasumi Shiko, she was so fierce."

  Serizawa Yu: "... Strange, Miss Kasumigaoka didn't directly appoint Brother Yu?"

  Kanoko Renmi: "Xiaoshi, is this okay?"

   Facing everyone's inquiries, Shi Yu sighed artificially and spread his hands.

   "Well~ Although I want to do that, some people seem to be unable to stand the stimulation."

   She glanced at Hui's face as she spoke, and then said with a smile:

   "So~ instead of letting others disturb my elegant mood at critical moments, it's not bad to be a spectator once in a while to have fun."

   This approach is indeed very her style, and people can't help but smile wryly.

  Xintiaoxiang glanced at Ying Lili, who was unusually quiet beside her, in a strange way, and asked casually, "So, who are No. 1 and No. 5?"

   "Well... I'm number one."

  Following Yusuke Kato, Eri Rika raised a hand coyly, "I, I am number five..."

   "Wow...it's just this pair!"

   Led by Mayu Sagara who suddenly became emotional, everyone looked back and forth at the two parties in surprise.

  Xinjoxiang first glanced at Shiyu, who was facing him with a calm expression, and then at Yinglili, who bowed her head and said nothing to her left, and raised the corners of her lips calmly.

   After a while of silence.

   Kato Yusuke hesitated and opened his mouth: "...that means, Eriri, if you don't want to, you can refuse..."

   "Okay, okay, Pocky game, right? I, I just do it."

   "No, you don't have to force yourself."

   "This is also... there is no way to do it! After all, it is a game rule."

  While talking, Yinglili picked up the strawberry-flavored Pocky on the ground, crawled up in front of him, and began to unpack it.

   "Hey, Mr. Yoshida! It's time for you to show your old-fashioned self."

  Hearing Kato Yusuke's speech, Yoshida snorted coldly through his nose.

   "Hmph, things like Pocky games were common enough even in my time, I'm not that old-fashioned."

   "Damn, Xiao, Xiaoshi? Don't you say something?"

   Kato Yusuke looked to the side tremblingly.

  Shiyu showed an extremely beautiful smile, and said something softly in a gentle tone.

   "Come on~ Yu-chan, if you touch your lips with Sawamura-san..."

   "If you touch, if you touch...?"

   "I will destroy you physically~"

   "This is fundamentally inconsistent!?"

   "As the king, I hereby order you to get it over with on the 1st before I get angry."

   "—Not even a name!?"

  At the same time, Eiriri also prepared the chocolate bar, and said coyly, "Well, because I'm so sorry...Yusuke, close your eyes!"

   "No, what are you talking about? Then I don't know when to stop."

   "Nah, nagging! I'll stop myself! I don't want you to see my face."

  Yusuke Kato showed an expression as big as a cow, and finally closed his eyes resignedly.

   "...Ah, I see, please take good care of yourself and don't create a situation that will kill us socially."

   "What nonsense are you talking about, open your mouth quickly!"

  Yusuke Kato opened his mouth with humiliation and unwillingness, like a warrior about to go to righteousness generously.

  Ying Lili took a sneak peek to the side, and what caught her eyes was Shiyu's eyes full of meaning—"Don't forget our agreement."

   "...woo—"

  She quickly calmed down, stuffed a chocolate bar into Kato Yusuke's mouth, and bit the other end herself.

   "Yes, let's start..."

"oh oh."

  The boy answered vaguely, and the breath he blew made his heart tremble.

   (It’s okay, it’s okay...Anyway, I’ve already kissed you before, right... Definitely, it’s okay.)

——

  Pazipazi, pazipazi, pazipazi, pazipazi.

  As the two ate at the same time, the chocolate bar connecting them began to gradually shorten.

  The weak force coming from the mouth made the deer bump wildly. Ying Lili couldn't help closing her eyes, carefully feeling the temperature approaching bit by bit.

"Oh oh oh-!?"

   "Liar, I-I'm going to kiss you soon? Are you still going to stop?"

   "Wow...!"

   The exclamation of the partners came from around, which sounded inexplicably far away.

  In Ying Lili's perception, the boy opposite seemed to be the only focus in the center of the world, attracting her to move forward, forward, and forward...

  Next second—

   A soft touch hits the lips with a light cedar hand cream scent.

   "Ugh...?"

   "Okay, let's stop here, if this continues, I, the main palace, will be angry."

  Ying Lili narrowed her eyes a little, and then saw two slender fingers pinching the middle of the chocolate bar, forming a solid barrier.

   "...I can't stand it."

  Shiyu threw the chocolate bar, which was barely half a knuckle long, into her mouth, and said with a displeased face:

   "It means, you both close your eyes, are you really planning to kiss in front of me?"

   Kato Yusuke and Eiriri looked at each other, and looked away at the same time in embarrassment.

  The audience who had been watching the excitement let out a sigh of relief when they saw that the situation ended in time.

   "Phew~ Fortunately, Teacher Xia Shizi stopped me at the last moment. I'm so nervous."

   "Me, me too, my heart beats a little faster."

  Mayu Sagara and Yuki Serizawa explained in sequence, both with lingering fears.

  Old God Yoshida on the balcony is drinking beer on the ground, enjoying himself.

  Hui Qianqian frowned, looked at Shi Yu and Ying Lili thoughtfully, pursed her lips unconsciously, then picked up a chocolate bar and ate it.

  Kanoko Renmi observed this scene calmly, and smiled.

  …
