Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home Chapter 352

   Chapter 352 The girl's first visit (add more to the tired heart)

   "Your parents' phone numbers have been unavailable. Remember to ask them to stamp this notice when you go back."

   Being kicked out of the school earlier than usual, Yusuke Kato had to go back to the apartment first, but Shibatsensei's gruff words still echoed in his ears.

  Hang the one-shoulder schoolbag and sports backpack on the hooks on the wall, and then sat down at the table.

   Looking at the punishment notice in his hand, Yusuke couldn't help but ponder.

  Do you want to contact the parents...

   Just when he thought so, two slender cylindrical objects appeared on the table out of thin air.

   Kato Yusuke raised his brows and his expression became a little weird.

   reached out to take it in his hand, and took off the cover with a bang.

   A brief silence spread across the room.

   Soon…

   "...You are like this, System."

   "It turns out that you have always played the role of your parents?"

   Kato Yusuke reluctantly complained a few words, faintly feeling as if he was being taken advantage of, but the system is still always taciturn and will not respond to him unless it is necessary.

   So he stopped teasing, silently picked up two seals, and stamped them in the confirmation column on the notice.

  According to the school's punishment for him and Saito, although he was not the one who took the initiative, the school chose to be one-size-fits-all and made a move that each side would play fifty big boards.

   Normally, both of them have to stay at home during this period of time to reflect, neither going out nor going to school.

   However, compared to him, an idler who returned to the house, Saito, who is an indispensable main force in the basketball club, still received certain preferential treatment.

   That is, although classes are not allowed, you can still participate in basketball training after school.

   As for the injury on Saito's hand, because Yusuke didn't want to cause trouble at the time, he didn't hurt his muscles and bones, but it was a little swollen, and basically he could go down in two or three days.

   In the end, Yusuke, who was looking for trouble, suffered a loss.

  Things are so realistic, but Yusuke doesn't bother to care about anything. After all, he didn't come here to go to school, so he accepted the result without much resistance.

   Even so, considering the possible follow-up effects of this incident, he still went to ask Misaki-sensei, hoping that the other party could take care of Sayu and Yuko during this time.

  Because of the favor from the previous ball game, Misaki-sensei also happily agreed.

  So Kato Yusuke has no worries, and can also free up his hands to do other things.

During the    period, in order not to worry Sayu, he also fully informed the other party of the development of the matter.

  According to the current time, it should be the second class in the afternoon, I thought I would receive a reply later.

   As a result, not long after putting down the phone, LINE's prompt sound "ding dong" sounded.

   It was Sayu who replied, but compared to his long explanation, the girl's message was only three short words—"I got it."

   Kato Yusuke was a little dissatisfied and started typing.

  【Iwanami: Was your reaction too cold? 】

  【Sayu: …I want to ask instead, why are you still in the mood to joke? 】

  【Iwanami: There is a week to skip class reasonably, is that something you should worry about? 】

   [Sayou: ...Idiot. 】

  【Iwanami: Is this your current expression? —(Bulging cheeks unhappily.jpg)]

  【Sayu: That's it—(angry.jpg)】

  【Iwanami: That's pretty cute too. 】

   Although the mark became read, the other side did not immediately return.

   Kato Yusuke didn't know whether the girl was thinking about what to return, or was caught by the teacher because she was secretly playing with her phone in class.

   I imagined that scene in my head for a while.

   No matter what, he couldn't help but want to raise the corners of his mouth.

   Free thoughts began to extend, making people feel a little lonely inexplicably.

   At this moment, he wanted to hug the girl across from him for no reason.

  【Iwanami: I'll pick you up after school. 】

  【Sayu: …what nonsense are you talking about? It's the lockdown period now, so please stay home. 】

  【Iwanami: It's a little strange to say that, but I really want to see you right now. 】

  【Sayou: ...cat or dog? 】

  【Iwanami: ? ? 】

  【Sayou: Choose one. 】

  【Iwanami: cat. 】

  【Sayu: But your performance is more like the canine side. 】

  【Iwanami: What do you mean? 】

   hesitated for a few seconds.

  Ding dong.

  【Sayou: ... clingy, annoying. 】

   Kato Yusuke was stunned for a moment, and then a soft smile appeared on his face, as if he had eaten the milk candy he ate when he was a child, and he felt nostalgic.

  【Iwanami: What tone did you use to type this sentence? 】

  【Sayu: …what do you do? 】

  【Iwanami: No, I just think you are cute. 】

  【Sayou: show you this—(the cat's photo.jpg)】

  【Iwanami: What do you do? 】

  【Sayou: Just thought you would like it. 】

  【Iwanami: Innocent, if you wear cat ears (thumbs up)—]

  【Sayu: Excuse me, can you jump off the Asahi Bridge? . (Indifferent face.jpg)]

   Kato Yusuke smiled knowingly and did not reply immediately.

  Ding dong.

  【Sayou: I said…】

  【Iwanami: What happened? 】

  【Sayu: Can't go to class for a week, will it be a lot of inconvenience? 】

  【Iwanami: Huh? I didn't really think about it. 】

   [Sayou: Hey, I really need to prepare the lecture notes for you. Send me your home address. 】

  【Iwa wave: -xx chome **** number xx. 】

  【Sayu: …your recovery speed is very uncomfortable. 】

  【Iwanami: - Be sure to bring your lecture notes, deputy squad leader. 】

  【Sayu: …it's just a handout, what are you expecting? 】

  【Iwanami: I am thirsty for knowledge? 】

   [Sayou: ...This is so stupid. 】

  【Iwanami: Okay, I'll wait. 】

   After chatting with the girl for a while, Kato Yusuke put away his phone.

   Although he didn't feel it was necessary, since Sayu was coming to the house, he got up from his chair and started cleaning the room.

   says so…

   In fact, it means to throw away the garbage.

  Because we usually rely on the convenience store bento, or some restaurants downstairs to solve dinner, so the kitchen counters and the like are very clean, and there is nothing worth cleaning.

   In addition, open the windows for ventilation, and use air fresheners to remove the smell in the room.

  The time goes by…

   When the hands of the clock on the wall passed four o'clock in the afternoon.

  ding dong—

  The melodious doorbell rang "longly late"...

   Considering the class meeting after school and the 20-minute journey from school to here.

  There is such a feeling, which is purely due to someone's willfulness, and the person himself knows this.

   Just the thought of being able to spend some time together after a long absence is still a pleasant thing.

   Thinking of this, Yusuke Kato smiled and grabbed the door handle and opened the door.

Then…

   "Well, I'm sorry, Iwanami-san."

   Appeared in front of him was Yuko who greeted him with a wry smile.

   Kato Yusuke's smile turned puzzled, his eyes went over Yuko Masaka's shoulder, and then behind her, she saw Sayu, who was staring at somewhere with his head tilted toward the corridor of the apartment.

  Tsk…

   "I'm sorry, the first person to greet you was not Sayu-chan." Yuko seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and said so in an apologetic tone.

   "...No, that's not the case, please come in."

  Yusuke stepped aside and made an inviting gesture.

   "Then excuse me."

"…excuse me."

  Two girls took off their shoes at the narrow entrance and entered the house.

   "Sorry, it's a little small, just sit down and I'll go get you juice."

   Kato Yusuke took out two disposable paper cups from the cupboard, then poured two cups of orange juice in the small refrigerator installed under the cupboard, turned and placed them on the central table.

"Please use."

   "Thank you, Iwanami-san."

"thanks."

  Because there were only two matching chairs, he did not sit down, but leaned his body on the kitchen counter at the back and looked at the two girls who were sitting.

   "You don't need to be cautious, I'm the only one living here, just be casual."

   "I see." Yuko Masaka nodded in response, looked around curiously, and whispered with emotion, "Actually, this is the first time I have come to a boy's house, but Iwaami-san is very clean here."

   There is a fragrance in the air, and a gentle wind flows in through the gaps in the windows.

   Kato Yusuke nodded, turned his eyes to Sayu, and paused for a moment on those eyes that were secretly scouring the room from the corner of his eye.

   asked, "Ogiharsan, what are you looking at?"

   The girl gently sniffed her round nose. While pinning the strands of hair that fell on his face behind his ears, he responded casually, "...This air freshener is the same as the one I use at home."

   "It doesn't matter if you like this place as your home."

   Yuko Masaka: (*︶*)

   Sayu's eyebrows were visibly wrinkled, and he didn't say anything, just bent down and took out a notebook from the backpack beside his feet and put it on the table.

   "...here are the notes for today's chemistry class, you remember to read it."

   "Well, thanks, what's in the plastic bag you brought?"

   "Ah~ this." Yuzi smiled and explained in a light tone: "Because this is the first time I have come here, I don't know what to bring, so I bought a bento on the way. Let's eat together later?"

   "Bento?"

   "Well, and there is a tonkatsu rice that boys like, can Iwaami-san eat this?"

   That's not the problem, is it?

  Does anyone usually bring bento to other people's houses as a guest...?

   Kato Yusuke's mood was a little subtle, his eyes switched between Yuko and Sayu's faces, and he suddenly understood.

   I am afraid that the two girls were worried that he would feel lonely because of the suspension of school, so they made this plan:

   - Tried to cheer him up by having the three of them eat together.

   Maybe it is the slenderness of girls that makes them unable to speak, so they use this euphemistic way to express their feelings.

   I have to say, it has the style of Japanese girls.

   After many years of living, Yusuke gradually understood this mode of thinking, so he nodded readily and said yes.

   heard this answer.

   "Great." Yuko Masaka showed a relieved expression, which also confirmed his guess from the side.

   Although Sayu behaved very quietly, judging from the fact that he did not refute this matter, it was a default attitude in itself.

   Looking at the reaction of the two, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but chuckle, "I'm sorry for worrying you, but I'm actually fine, so I don't need to take care of me so much."

   Yuko and Sayu secretly exchanged glances, and tacitly did not talk much about this matter.

  Because it was too early for dinner, the three of them chatted.

  Under Kato Yusuke's active inquiry, the two girls also briefly talked to him about the reaction of the class after that incident.

  Although the current state is still unclear, and the students are showing great restraint, the conflict between him and Saito will still be discussed in private.

   Judging from those remarks, the opinions of the public seem to be divided into three factions.

   One side trusts him, the other side trusts Saito.

  The former is the group of people headed by the football club, and the latter is the group of people headed by the basketball club.

   It's hard to say which is stronger and which is weaker. After all, the school hasn't found out the culprit who stole the sportswear, so they all insist on their own opinions.

   As for the remaining party, it is those neutrals with ambiguous attitudes.

   Kato Yusuke listened quietly, during which he also asked about the reaction of Yuzuki's group, and the answer was that there was no abnormal behavior.

   "Iwanami-san, are you suspicious of Yuzuki and the others?"

   After Yuko Masaka asked this, Yusuke Kato pondered for a while.

   But facing the two of them, he had nothing to be wary of, so he also said what was in his heart.

   "It's only a girl who can take out a girl's sportswear from a bag in a classroom where there are always people, right?"

   "Although that's the case, but if you put something in someone else's backpack, it will still be very conspicuous, right?"

   "—That's not the case either." Sayu thoughtfully, took the lead in denying this statement, and turned to analysis:

   "That might be more conspicuous during recess, but if it's a lunch break when everyone's mental state is more relaxed, it won't be that difficult."

   Yuko: "Lunch break...?"

   Sayu: "Yes, because the three of us often go to the rooftop for lunch? This is a good time slot."

  Jiezi: "But what should I do to avoid being discovered?"

   Sayu: "After all, no one will always pay attention to the situation in the back row. If the culprit is a girl, even if someone asks you, you can use the reason of packing your backpack to deal with it."

   Yuko: "However, the positions of everyone's backpacks are obviously different."

   Sayu: "As long as you're not a familiar person, no one will find out about it. Plus the first session of the afternoon is physical education, so as long as you behave naturally, it won't cause suspicion."

   Hearing these words, Yuko Masaka gulped down a mouthful of saliva, and asked in a trembling voice, "Then that means the culprits are Yuyue and the others?"

   Even though her situation in the class has improved, she can't help but feel scared when facing someone who has troubled her a lot.

   Having reacted, Sayu felt a "crack" in his heart, and felt a little regretful about his behavior that he had accidentally invested too much in.

   At this time, Kato Yusuke, who had been watching for a long time, spoke up.

   "Don't be nervous, Yuko, you are no longer the you you used to be. Even that Yuyue can't easily do anything to you, you have to believe in yourself."

"trust yourself?"

   "Yes, we have all witnessed your changes, you have to believe that these are all meaningful."

  Under the gazes of Yusuke and Sayu.

   Yuko Masaka lowered her head silently, stretched out her hand to hold her chest, and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

   When she raised her head again, the expression on her face returned to its original state.

   Kato Yusuke nodded approvingly and said, "Well, it's the knot of version 2.0."

   As a result, Sayu rebuked dissatisfiedly, "A knot is a knot, don't say such strange things."

   "Pfft...you two, your relationship has improved again."

   After that, the three of them had lunch together.

  Leave a message that I will bring a handout tomorrow, and the two girls went home.

   Thank you [Yuhan Buyu] and [20220416191017869] for the rewards.
