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

  Chapter 642 Declaration of War

  After a long three-hour drive, the tram finally arrived in Tokyo.

  Because there is no need to work today, Yoshida and Sagara Mayu chose to go home directly, while the others decided to go to the studio together.

  The two sides bid farewell at the station, each stopped a taxi and left.

  Yusuke Kato and the others sat in the car for about 20 minutes, and finally got off at the intersection near the studio.

  Lightly dressed girls walked in front side by side.

  Yusuke Kato, who was in charge of carrying the luggage, was left behind.

   A group of people just walked towards the studio.

   Suddenly returning to the city from the beautiful nature, everyone's mood seems to have not been able to switch.

  Although it has only been about three days, the air here has become a little strange.

  The pace of everyone became slower than usual, silently looking at the familiar and unfamiliar streets.

"Always felt-"

  Ying Lili was the first to speak: "I have walked this street for countless times, but now it feels very strange..."

  Shi Yu nodded slightly, expressing her agreement.

   "Exactly, it feels like starting school after summer vacation, doesn't it?"

  Hearing their conversation, Serizawa Yu also happily echoed:

  "That's right! Just like Kasumigaoka-san said, does it feel like time is passing too fast? No, it should be said too slow? Huh? How to say this is more correct?"

  Xinjoxiang said: "To put it simply, the time you feel is longer than the actual time, right?"

"That's it-!"

  Kanoko Renmi looked back at Kato Yusuke, who was full of luggage, and then turned her gaze to the girls beside her, with a steady smile on her face.

  She said: "Great, it seems that everyone has had a fulfilling three days."

   "That...although it is true..."

  Mei, who had been listening silently since just now, couldn't help complaining at this moment: "But... no matter how you say it, everyone has gone too far, right?"

  Until now, she still couldn't accept that she was being targeted unanimously, and she didn't think she was a traitor.

  The three women among the Four Heavenly Kings looked at each other, with a hint of joy in their eyes, they smiled without saying a word.

  Xinjoxiang and Serizawa Yu followed them, and they also found it very interesting.

  I feel that after the camp, the distance between everyone has been shortened a lot.

  Yusuke Kato was at the end, looking at the harmonious crowd, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.

  'Fortunately, Xiao Jia organized this sleepover. '

  He couldn't help thinking like this, and sincerely hoped that such days would last longer.

   At this moment, the voice of Ying Lili who was running at the front came from a distance.

   "Huh? You're not...? Why are you here—!?"

   Then Mami shouted.

  "Yahoo~ It's Sawamura sister, good afternoon~! And Kato-san, Kasumigaoka-san, Hasumi-san, Xiaoxi and Xiaoxiang, everyone, good afternoon, welcome back~~!"

  Facing Mami's greeting, everyone responded one after another.

  Xinjoxiang: "Good afternoon, Miss Asami."

  Serizawa Yu: "Thank you for helping us take care of Muzi, Mami, I brought you a souvenir~!"

  As the first volunteer to join the association, everyone is no stranger to the existence of Mami. The two parties have met several times, and there is nothing unusual about this.

   Oddly what happened next—

  Kanoko Hasami: "... Huh? You weren't the one in the service area last time..."

  Megumi: "Good afternoon, Mami-san. That...is this your friend?"

  Shi Yu: "What are you making such a fuss about? Who is that girl?"

  Looking at everyone who stopped in place for some reason, Kato Yusuke stepped up quickly, and at the same time followed their line of sight to look forward.

   "Is something happening? What are you all looking at— huh!"

  He stopped abruptly in the middle of his speech, and he froze in place, unaware of Mami's warm greeting to him.

  He just stared at the figure beside Mami.

  —That is a girl I still feel sorry for.

  She was wearing a clean and tidy winter uniform, with a red plaid scarf around her neck, her slender legs sticking out from under the gray plaid skirt, slender and fair.

  Bright brown long hair, big and round amber pupils, willow eyebrows full of fragility, and shiny cherry lips, everything looks delicate and sweet.

  The early slanting sun sprinkled golden speckles through the thin clouds, and fell on her hair blown by the breeze, like a movie silhouette, profound and timeless.

  As if responding to Kato Yusuke's gaze, a complex flash of light flashed in those amber pupils very quickly.

  The girl took a deep breath, her lips curled up slightly, and she smiled softly.

   Ignoring the eyes of the surroundings, the other party just walked up to him step by step, looking at him with straight eyes.

   "...Hey, Yusuke."

  The person involved deliberately made himself look natural, but his hands were holding the hem of the skirt tightly, and he said calmly: "Long time no see, and... welcome back."

   Kato Yusuke's tall body trembled imperceptibly, and he was silent for a long time, "Well... Long time no see."

   All of a sudden, everyone's eyes focused on him.

   "Brother Yu?"

   "Kato-kun?"

   "Yu-chan?"

   "" Yusuke? ""

   "..."

  Those voices carried different emotions, including doubt, inquiry, anxiety, and confusion, but they all pointed to the same purpose—waiting for him to explain the situation.

  Asami scratched the back of her head and walked up, her eyes wandered between Kato Yusuke and Sayu, and raised her eyebrows strangely.

   "What are you doing? So Kato Sai, you and Sayu sister know each other? Then I don't need to introduce you~~ Having said that, let me talk about it for the time being."

   She flirtatiously put a hand on Sayu's shoulder and grinned.

   "In short, this is the new volunteer of our association. Her name is Sayu Ogihara, and she is from Hokkaido. Let's become closer and love each other~~!"

  Hearing what she said, Sayu finally took her eyes away from Kato Yusuke, folded her hands dignifiedly in front of her, and bowed to everyone.

  "...Hello everyone, my name is Sayu. Sayu is composed of the "sha" in Bishamonten and the Chinese characters in "excellent". Please give me more advice. "

  The generous attitude failed to get a response. Everyone just glanced at her, and then turned their attention to Kato Yusuke.

  The restless Ying Lili spoke first.

   "I said Yusuke! What are you talking about! What's the matter with this girl? Isn't she the one who troubled us in Chiba Prefecture last time! Why did she appear here—!?"

  Hearing this, Sayu, who had just straightened up just now, bowed sincerely again, even lowering her head deeply.

   "That! I'm really sorry about what happened last time. It's all my fault. I'm really sorry for causing trouble to everyone. I apologize to everyone here. I'm sorry."

"you-"

  The overly solemn apology made Ying Lili speechless for a while.

  Shi Yu on the side immediately filled in her blank, and asked straightforwardly: "Then, what do you want with my boyfriend?"

"Boy friend…"

  Sayu muttered this word, pursed her lower lip lightly, and then quietly looked at Kato Yusuke.

   "Yusuke..."

  As if there was only one person in her eyes, the girl made up her mind and let out a deep breath.

  Even amidst the unkind eyes around her, she still smiled and stretched out a hand, showing a smiling face as if she was about to cry.

   "...I'm sorry for making you wait so long...According to the agreement...I'm here to find you. Would you like to date me—?"

  Her blooming smile has a broken beauty, like satin hair shining, reflecting the color of the sun, just like the four-foot jade on a midsummer night, blooming a huge chrysanthemum in the sky.

"""""What--"""""

  Everyone was taken aback by this sudden confession. They seemed to want to say something, but they clenched their fists and held back desperately, looking at Kato Yusuke in amazement.

   "...Hey, Yusuke, I've already remembered everything."

   Ignoring people's reactions, Sayu's eyes didn't waver, and she just kept raising her hand and continued speaking.

"So... you are willing to stay by my side again, eat the bento I made, drink the miso soup I cooked, give me delicious dried fish, always bully me and take care of me...but spoil me lawlessly …?"

  The girl stopped here for a while, and tears appeared in her eyes, like a rain.

  She said in a breathy voice:

   "—sorry for taking so long to reply to you sorry... forgot you were really sorry, but... please... don't leave me alone."

   Kato Yusuke staggered.

  The person she was looking for was him, but it wasn't him.

  He opened his lips and let out a deep breath, with a distant and unfamiliar expression.

   "…Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying, I've never done those things. We've only met a few times, haven't we?"

  Hearing this, Sayu's smile was cast with a sad shadow, she bit her lip and lowered her hand.

   “…you are still holding on to that statement.”

   "I'm just stating the facts. If you have nothing else to do, Ms. Ogiwara, I'll excuse you—"

"-You are lying!"

   Sayu yelled for a moment.

   "If what you said is true, then... why, you have to deposit 27 million in my account! Is this something a stranger... would do...?"

   She took out a passbook from her jacket pocket, and asked in a trembling voice:

   "...On September 18th, you deposited the money to me with your own hands. My family has already done an investigation, and even so...you still refuse to admit it?"

   As soon as the voice fell, silence permeated.

   "27 million..."

  Ying Lili was talking to herself.

   "September 18th..."

  Megumi, Shiwa, and Kanoko Hasumi murmured.

   Everyone looked at each other thoughtfully, thinking of the same thing, and then changed their expressions at the same time.

  Serizawa Yu and Asami looked astonished, but also a little at a loss.

  Xin Tiaoxiang's eyes flashed with shock, and she quietly took a step back from the crowd.

   Facing the weird atmosphere, Kato Yusuke clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth. He really wanted to say something, but he really couldn't refute.

  Sayu took a deep breath, looked at him with open red eyes, and continued to ask stubbornly:

  "...Can't you tell? You have done so many things for me silently, and you have always had me in your heart...why—won't you admit it?"

  The girls couldn't bear it anymore when they heard this, and called Kato Yusuke's name one after another.

   "Kato-kun...?"

   "" Yusuke...? ""

   "Yu-chan, is what she said true...?"

  Yusuke Kato suddenly came to his senses, lowered his head heavily, his chest heaving up and down.

  When he raised his head again, his eyes had become dark and deep, and he stared at Sayu indifferently and said something.

   "—Those things are in the past."

  The dark pupils made Sayu feel cold all over, his body shook slightly, he bit his lips involuntarily, and became depressed.

  But soon, the flame of refusal to admit defeat ignited in those amber pupils.

   She looked straight into his eyes, and said firmly with an attitude as if swearing:

  "—The past doesn't mean there is no future, you don't want to look back...then let's create new memories and experience all kinds of new things together."

   "Listen to me, including you, no one and nothing in this world can force me to give up on you, I will never give up!"

  The momentum that erupted in an instant made everyone lose their voices.

   Before everyone could react, Sayu suddenly stepped forward and hugged the boy in front of him tightly, pressing his cheek against his master's chest.

  Yusuke Kato failed to push her away immediately. When he took a step back and wanted to take action, the girl suddenly raised her head and looked at him.

   What came into his eyes was a small face full of tears.

   Sayu raised her hand to wipe the hot tears overflowing from the corner of her eyes, her white and tender hands stretched out from the sweater which was slightly longer than the sleeves of the jacket, looking soft and weak.

"-fraud."

   She cried and laughed and asked: "If you don't have me in your heart, why is your heart beating so fast?"

  The person who was asked was a little silent.

  The little face in front of him was both familiar and unfamiliar, just like the one he had seen before, only a little more resolute and courageous.

  Times have changed.

  It seems that nothing has changed, and it seems that everything has changed.

  Kato Yusuke still had no extra expression on his face, he pushed her away firmly, and said word by word:

   "—We don't have any relationship now, don't come again, I don't want to see you again."

   "—!"

  The girl was stunned for a moment, the joy in her eyes froze, she lost any emotion and spirit, and tears rolled down her eyes uncontrollably.

   She was rejected by him again.

  The other party did not deny the past as before, but rejected her directly.

  A feeling of suffocation suddenly surged in her chest, it was so uncomfortable...

   Ignoring Sayu's gaze and everyone's expressions, Kato Yusuke walked towards the studio.

  He is indeed a scumbag, yes, but it’s not like he doesn’t refuse anyone.

   Kindness can be given to anyone, but liking and love are not.

  She is not his Sayu, nor is he his Iwanami classmate, they cannot be substitutes for each other.

  Instead of torturing each other together, it is better to let go freely.

   It is as if you once picked up a beam of light and returned it to the sun at sunset.

   Love each other, and forget each other in the rivers and lakes.

   At this moment, a big callused hand suddenly put on his left shoulder, forcing him to stay where he was.

  The next moment, a thick male voice full of displeasure rang out.

   "—Excuse me, little brother, you can stay here honestly until my lady finishes speaking."

  After speaking, the five fingers on the shoulders were locked tightly like eagle claws, with a threat that seemed to make him suffer at any time.

  The pain from the shoulder made Kato Yusuke couldn't help tightening his brows, and looked back.

  —A sturdy man with a height of about 190 cm was staring at him.

  …
