Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home Chapter 369

   Chapter 369 Tokyo from scratch

   Kato Yusuke was very indifferent to the fact that Shibsenpai was sitting next to her.

   He quietly propped his elbows under the window, rested his chin with one hand, and stared out at the gray-white airport outside.

   Maybe it was because he realized that he was going to physically leave here, and all kinds of messy thoughts were pouring into his mind uncontrollably.

  From Tokyo to Hokkaido, the two who used to be inseparable crossed half of Japan together, but when they returned, they were alone.

   Half a year in Tokyo, a month in Saitama, three days in Asahikawa…and a month in the “past”.

  Many images kept popping up in my mind.

   Kato Yusuke felt very depressed, but he let the thoughts of his brain spread and was unwilling to control it.

'Where are you going…? '

  'I'm not going anywhere until you don't need me anymore, don't want to see me anymore, let me go far... But as long as you still need me, I'll stay here. '

   'That kind of thing, I don't want to die...'

'…why? '

  'You kind of person! The most - disgusting! '

'do you like him? this boy. '

  'At least compared to strangers, Izumi-san is more trusted by me! '

   A girl's voice echoed faintly in his ears.

   Kato Yusuke's eyes were dark and dull, the dazzling sunlight projected in, shattered in his eyes, and turned into nothingness.

  Movies are always too kind, so that broken mirrors can be reunited, old dreams can be relived, lost people can meet again, and people who have not loved enough can continue to love.

   Maybe it is because there are so many things that cannot be realized in reality that people cry for the beauty in the movie.

   He immediately put a fist on his forehead with one hand and closed his eyes, unwilling to see his own shadow reflected on the glass.

   Until the plane took off from the ground, it soared to an altitude of 10,000 meters.

   He was always silent.

   It was almost noon when we arrived in Tokyo.

   Kato Yusuke first took the airport bus, then transferred to the bus, all the way back to his old apartment.

   "...I will go to school tomorrow, please go back, Shi Yu-senpai."

   "Huh... In the face of a girl who came to pick you up from a long distance, the correct way here should be to invite me in and have a drink, right?"

   Yusuke shook his head at this, and replied in a hoarse voice: "No, there is no such thing here."

   After saying that, regardless of Shi Yu's reaction, he opened the door with the key and walked in.

   "—Huh? Wait...!" Seeing this, Shi Yu also wanted to go in, but...

-boom.

The    metal door was mercilessly closed, bringing a cool air current that ruffled the girl's hair. The distance between the door and her face was so close that she would be injured if she just took a step forward.

   In other words, when the boy closed the door, he didn't care about her at all.

   Shi Yu understood this for a moment, and remained silent, her eyes dimmed a little.

   After a while, she sighed again and said to the door: "...Then, if you want to talk to someone, just tell me, Kato-san."

After    finished speaking, he turned and left.

   In the apartment, Yusuke Kato is standing at the entrance.

"I am back."

   He said instinctively, and of course no one responded.

   A strong sense of disobedience invaded.

   He slowly took off his shoes and stepped into the living room.

  Single bed, desk, low table on carpet.

   Yusuke sat down on the bed and stared blankly at the bright room.

   Double bed... gone,

   Fish tank and goldfish... gone,

   The doll in the corner... gone,

   Group photo on the bedside table… gone.

   The originally cramped room now looks very spacious, even making people feel at a loss.

   It was a room that he had lived in for a long time, but now it gave him a feeling that was not like his own home.

   He stood up abruptly from the bed, raised his feet to the balcony, pushed open the glass door, and came outside.

  Under the bright sunshine, there are no clothes to dry on the drying rack.

  Only the outer unit of the air conditioner is still placed in the corner, and the fan blades inside are turning silently under the breeze.

   He turned back to the room again, went to the wardrobe, and opened it.

  The corner where the girl's folded clothes is usually placed has also become empty.

   He squatted down blankly, and was silent for a long time in front of his clothes.

   As if thinking of something, he took out a white handkerchief from his pocket and put it in front of his nose to smell it.

   A faint citrus scent drifted into the nostrils.

   "One more..." He murmured, his hoarse voice drawn into the air of the room.

   A strong sense of emptiness swept over.

   The girl's temperature, taste, voice, embrace, he will lose all of them forever.

   Kato Yusuke realized this very clearly.

   He stared blankly at the handkerchief in front of him, first took a deep breath, and then sneered, his right hand holding the handkerchief trembled.

   Sayu's smile kept popping up in his mind.

   He slumped on the ground, with red eyes and trembling lips, as if he had chopped a piece of flesh from his own body with his own hands, blood dripping and his heart ashes.

that moment,

   He who never collapsed in front of Sayu originally,

   Even though he was mentally prepared for all possibilities,

   After seeing all the items related to Sayu in the house disappeared, I finally couldn't help but collapse...

"why…"

   He raised his right hand, rubbed his eyes, and covered his face, but he didn't let go for a long time.

   His slovenly face became messy, and his chin with a slight beard gradually became messy, stained with tears and snot.

   For a moment, I really want to think of an accident. The bright future, the sea, the sunset, the people I want to see, and the future I want are all gone, including his life.

   Kato Yusuke carelessly wiped his face with his sleeves, stood up swaying, walked heavily to the bedside, threw the sportswear jacket he had been wearing for a week on the ground, and fell down on the bed.

  The physical and mental exhaustion made him not want to think about anything, so he just fell asleep.

   Time flies by.

At night.

   hum—, hum—.

   The phone vibrated like a groan, making a faint reverberation.

   Kato Yusuke opened his eyes in a daze, and sat up from the bed slowly.

   All you can see is darkness, and the room is filled with maddening silence, like a no-man's corner forgotten by the world.

   It took a short while to get the Chaos brain back to work.

   He shook his head, picked up the phone, and opened the flip.

   The light from the phone screen illuminates a corner of the room, where there are many lines of missed calls and emails.

   turned off the reminder, stretched out of bed, and groped in the dark.

  No one woke him up, there was no busy figure in the kitchen, and there was no aroma of food in the air.

  The only thing I could smell was the unpleasant odor on my body.

   Gollum…

   A hungry groan came from his stomach.

   Kato Yusuke got out of bed, walked to the wall, and turned on the light in the room.

-Snapped.

  The bright yellow light shines overhead, brightening the room.

   He shuffled to the kitchen, reached for the refrigerator door handle, and pulled it open with a squeak.

   is empty inside.

  It was so clean that there was not even a single natto.

   But since Sayu used to be in charge of purchasing ingredients, it makes sense for this to happen now.

   moved his slightly dry mouth and closed the refrigerator door. Kato Yusuke wanted to take out his mug from the cabinet above.

   However, when he opened the cabinet door, there was only a transparent glass inside, and the couple's mug that he used to use disappeared.

  He was silent for a while, then reached out and took off the glass, and slapped a glass of water under the tap.

   gudu, gudu, gudu…

   Dryness of the mouth and throat is relieved.

  Yusuke put the glass of drinking water on the table and made a muffled "dong" sound.

   In the maddeningly quiet environment, it was as if a needle fell to the ground could be heard clearly.

   "Go out and buy some bento..." He muttered to himself, picking up the coat that was thrown on the ground, putting it on his body, and walking out.

   followed by a double click of the door.

   Kato Yusuke, who put on his shoes, left the room, walked down the stairs of the apartment, and walked towards the nearby convenience store.

   The time is now 7pm.

   Residents walking out of the streets and migrant workers returning home from work can be seen everywhere on the streets.

  In this cool weather, people are also more willing to go for a walk outside.

  The noisy atmosphere is somewhat cosy and peaceful, forming a small piece of beautiful daily life in a happy life.

   Yusuke felt that the temperature was a little low for some reason, not because of physical perception, but an unfamiliar feeling from the heart.

   He couldn't help but stop and turned towards the station.

   I can't say why, but I always feel that this weather is very suitable for drinking miso soup.

  Although it is not the kind without brewing, but today he wants to make it himself.

   With this thought in mind, Kato Yusuke pulled his shoes and went to the supermarket near the station.

   cabbage, onion, potato, green onion, wakame,

   Miso Sauce, a small bag of rice, a small piece of pork and a box of tofu with internal fat,

  Oolong tea, kimchi, pickled bonito, cup noodles of various flavors,

  pocky, coffee pudding, Calbee chips, and a few other Sayoo's favorite snacks…

   When I came back to my senses, I had already bought a lot of things that I didn't seem to need.

   But it doesn't matter, after all, you will always get used to it.

   Kato Yusuke, who settled the bill, returned to the apartment with a large bag in his hand.

   Under the dim street light, a middle-aged man was standing by the stairs on the first floor, frowning.

   "Mr. Manager."

   "Huh? Oh... Ka, little brother Kato??" The man turned around with a stunned face, "Did you dye your hair?"

  Yusuke nodded, said nothing, and prepared to go upstairs.

   However, the other party suddenly stopped him.

   "Ah, wait a minute."

   "I'm sorry, can I trouble you to do me a favor? Brother Kato."

   Kato Yusuke paused and asked, "What's the matter?"

The manager explained: "Actually, a tenant on the first floor moved out, but there are still a lot of abandoned items in the room. Because there will be new tenants coming to see the house tomorrow, can you help me move the things together? The management room?"

"it is good."

   Yusuke agreed, first went upstairs to put things, and then returned to the first floor, and was led by the manager to Room 101.

   This is a room with a similar layout to his room, with large pieces of furniture such as a sofa, TV, kotatsu, etc.

   Kato Yusuke understood the reason why he was called, and he had no idea about it, and asked directly: "Are all these going to be moved?"

   "Yes, you can take everything except the bed. If there is anything you can use, you can take it as well."

   Yusuke shook his head. He wanted to say no, but he stopped and asked, "Then can I take this TV with me?"

   "—of course, what's wrong with that?"

The manager nodded happily and said with a smile, "As long as you don't mind if these items are second-hand. Rather, if you don't want them, it will also cost someone to recycle these waste items, so there's no problem at all. ."

   Kato Yusuke calmly nodded his thanks and started to help.

   Together, the two moved the remnants of these former tenants to the management room.

   Amid the gratitude of the manager, Yusuke also took the slightly older TV home.

   When using the rice cooker to cook rice, he put the TV on the three-drawer chest that was originally used to put the fish tank, and turned on the TV after turning on the power.

  As the picture appeared on the screen, the cheerful song also rang.

  The original owner of the TV seems to be a girl group idol, and the concert of Nogizaka46 is playing.

   Kato Yusuke didn't react to this, he just didn't want to make the room too quiet, so he brought this object back.

  Use the remote control to adjust the volume to a level that doesn't make you feel noisy, then go to the kitchen and start cooking the miso soup.

   Take out the pot, pour water, and put it on the stove.

   Start washing the vegetables and processing the ingredients while the water is boiling.

   Dice the peeled and cleaned potatoes, shred onions, slice pork, and prepare wakame, tofu, and chopped green onions.

   After waiting for the hot water in the pot to warm up, Yusuke followed the steps the girl had done, put the ingredients into the pot one by one, took a spoon and chopsticks, and began to add the miso sauce and stir to dissolve it in it.

   gurgle, gurgle.

   Kaka Kaka Kaka Kaka Kaka Kaka.

   The rhythm of the cooking and the energetic voices of the girls on the TV were blended together.

  Time seems to have gone back to the past...

   After the miso soup is ready, the rice cooker also makes a "pop" sound, and the electronic logo above automatically jumps to keep warm.

   Kato Yusuke filled himself with miso soup and rice, put the pickled bonito and kimchi he bought on the table, and sat down at the low table.

"I'm gonna start now…"

   The boy's deep voice echoed in the room.

   He picked up the bowl of miso soup, brought it to his mouth, and took a tentative sip.

  'Miso soup, is it delicious? '

   Sayu's voice echoed in his mind, and what the two had said the day after they met.

  '… good drink is good drink, but why your spoon? '

  'Ahaha, because—Yusuke looks dazed, it's really interesting! Ah~uh~'

  'That's what I used. '

  '…Do you care? Hee hee, this is an indirect kiss...'

   The vision in front of me became distorted and blurred unconsciously.

"Ha ha…"

   Kato Yusuke stared at the miso soup in the bowl and laughed: "...It shouldn't be worse than this."

   He put down the soup bowl, his chest was up and down, his eyes that he thought had been dry for a long time started to get hot and wet...

   Sadness, loneliness, regret…

   The emotions suppressed in his heart began to emerge again, washing over him like a tide.

  The fiery body began to tremble, as if a flame was burning in his chest, and even the breath he exhaled was extremely hot.

   He tried his best to get flowers blooming for the girl and opened a huge hole in his heart.

   Kato Yusuke doesn't know if this counts as retribution, or if it is self-inflicted.

   He just smiled nervously and swallowed his dinner.

  The idol girls on TV kept singing and dancing, as if they were always energetic and tireless, showing a smile full of energy.

I do not know how long it has been.

   Finished dinner.

   He had slept for a long time, but Yusuke felt deeply tired again at this moment.

   He staggered to the side of the bed and fell asleep like that...

  ps. An article asking for a monthly pass (if there are enough 1000 this month).

   Now I am sorting out the essays and plots I usually write down, and by the way, I will summarize the chronological order. At least I hope that I can write other heroines well in the future, instead of becoming a loser.

   Thank you [Wood has become a boat and the moon is in the sky], [Tired heart], [Ao Xue Wuqing], [Book Friend 20170304112901087], [Book Friend 20210209154616570678330], [Book Friend 20180809113129941] for the rewards.
