Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home Chapter 370

  Chapter 370 Necklace and Cinnabar Bottle

   Tuesday, September 22.

   The sky is clear and the air is clear.

   Sayu came to the school as usual, supervising and checking the upcoming sports meeting, and earnestly fulfilling his responsibilities as the monitor.

   After the fourth class in the morning, Miss Misaki called her to the office.

  A man with naturally curly hair was standing next to Misaki-sensei and greeted her with a smile, "You must be Sayu, it's the first time we met, please give me more advice today."

   "Huh? Hello... Please give me more advice." Sayu nodded inexplicably in response, and at the same time gave Misaki-sensei a questioning look.

   introduced to the convenience: "Sayu, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Yagami, a writer? This time I came to the school to do an interview about the incident a year ago."

   "No~ Teacher, you misunderstood."

   The man who heard this laughed: "I'm just a freelance writer who travels constantly. Although my writing is fortunate to be published in some magazines, I really can't be called a writer, so you don't have to call me that."

  Misaki-sensei nodded, turned her face to Sayu, and asked, "That's it, I think you should be able to face that experience calmly now, right? How about it, would you like to be interviewed?"

   "This..." Sayu's eyes wandered between the two, with a slightly hesitant expression.

   see this,

   "Sayou-san, you don't have to be so nervous."

   The man pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said warmly, "I just admire your courage, and I want to pass this spirit on to more people who are immersed in the darkness. Are you willing to help me?"

   "But... I have already told the media all the specific things before, Mr. Yagami."

   "It doesn't matter, I have read the previous reports. Shayou may not know much about freelance writers and news media. There is actually a difference between the two."

   "That's right..."

   So Sayu no longer hesitated, nodded and agreed, "Although I don't know if I can help Mr. Yagami, but I will try my best."

   "Thank you, Sayu-san." The man thanked sincerely, and took a notebook and a pen from the inner pocket of the windbreaker for recording.

   saw him look like he was about to start right now.

   "—Please wait a minute, Mr. Yagami." Misaki-sensei stopped, pointed to the rest area in the corner of the office, and said, "There is a sofa over there, you can talk over there, it's quieter there."

   Whether it was Yagami or Sayu, the two of them had no problem with this, so they moved to the sofa in the lounge area together before starting the interview.

   "Then, please let me hear what you thought at the time? Sayu-san."

  When Iori asked this first, Sayu nodded lightly to show understanding, and told about the past.

   "It was before the summer vacation last year. All the second-year students went to Hokkaido Broadcasting (TV) for a visit. My friend Yuko called me at the end, and I went to the roof to rescue her."

   "Well, I've seen news reports on these, what else?"

"what?"

   "How did you save her then?"

   "...I rushed up and hugged her, carrying her off the platform on the edge of the roof."

   "I see, the situation at that time must be very critical, right? Shayou's psychological quality is very good, so what were your thoughts at the time?"

"idea?"

   "That's right." Iori nodded affirmatively and said, "I want to know more about your thoughts and inner feelings at that time than the simple event record."

   "Just, I received a call from my friend Jiezi, I had to stop her, and ran to the roof of the TV station to save her."

"—Sayou-san?" Yagami stopped the pen in his hand and raised his head, "Are you nervous? As I said, just talk about your inner feelings and emotions at the time, even if it's abstract, it doesn't matter. I'll take good care of turning it into words."

   "Impressive...like you have to stop her?" Sayu tilted her head slightly and muttered.

   "Uh... Are you asking me here?"

   "...No, it's not like that."

"Well, you have to stop her, right? Is there anything else? Like being so nervous that you can't speak, your mind is blank, your hands and feet are cold... but in the end you are driven by faith and will to act or something like that. ?"

   "Perhaps...that's it..."

   "Perhaps...?" Yagami frowned slightly, his eyes on her face, and he carefully observed.

   The girl in front of her is very cute, not only has correct facial features, but also has particularly fair skin.

   However, at this moment, the other party seemed to be reminiscing about something, with a frown on his face and thoughtful thought, looking a little lost.

   He couldn't be sure what kind of emotion it was, maybe it was a stress reaction when he remembered the scene at that time, or...

  —It's impossible to forget, right?

  Iori thought amusingly, and immediately threw this thought out of his mind.

  Things come to a conclusion in the next second.

   "Yes, the sophomore year of high school was a painful time for us, and the choices Yuko made that day also made my hands and feet feel cold."

   Sayu shook his head when he said this, and then said: "But sorry, about those other emotions that Mr. Yagami said...I don't seem to have that."

   "So... can I ask a question?"

   "Yes, please say."

  Iori put the pen in his hand against his chin, pondered for a while, and then asked:

   "You just said that your friend's actions that day made you feel cold in your hands and feet. This is just your pure feelings about the event itself, not your reaction at the moment at the scene... Can I understand that?"

   "Feelings about the event itself...and the reaction at the scene...?" Sayu fell into a labyrinth of thinking, "I'm sorry, I don't understand Mr. Yagami's words very well."

   "Ahaha, sorry sorry, am I too abstract?" Iori smiled and scratched his head, explaining:

   "Actually, I'm also a fan of reasoning and suspense novels. I often think of problems in strange places unconsciously. You don't have to worry about it."

   After laughing for a while, he turned to his side again, took out a book from the one-shoulder backpack that was put aside, and handed it over.

   "Anyway, that's it for today, thank you for telling the truth, Sayu-san, I'll give you this book. It's my thank you, thank you for your hard work."

   "This is... a suspense novel?" Sayu who took the book was a little puzzled.

   "Yes, this is a book that I think is very interesting. You can read it as a pastime if you have time." Iori nodded and put the notes and pens into the pocket of the trench coat.

   After saying goodbye to her and Misaki-sensei, Iori quickly left the school, and Sayu returned to the classroom with the novel.

   "Ah~~~"

   Yuko was waiting beside her seat, and when she saw her coming back, she waved her hand happily, "You're back, Sayu-chan~"

   "Well, I'm back." Sayu had a soft smile on his face, sat down on the steel pipe chair, and packed the novel given by Mr. Yagami into his schoolbag.

   "What is Misaki-sensei doing to you?"

   "A freelance writer wanted to do an interview about the past, so he called me in to ask a little about it, nothing special."

   "I see, so that's it, can we have lunch now?"

   "Well, okay, sorry to keep you waiting."

   "Hmm~ you don't need to be so polite, after all, I want this myself."

  The two cleaned up the table and started eating bento a little later than usual.

   "…speak."

   During the meal, Yuko Masaka suddenly asked: "Izumi-san seems to be avoiding us recently, and the whole person is also very disappointed. Is there something that happened between you that I don't know about?"

   "This..." Sayu hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Well, when he sent me home last time, he suddenly confessed to me, but I refused..."

   "Is there such a thing...!"

   The sudden increase in the volume attracted the eyes of the classmates. After seeing that there was no abnormality, they all retracted their eyes and did their own things.

   "...you're too loud, knotty."

"Um... I'm sorry, because I'm too surprised... Ehehe." Yuzi stuck out his tongue with a smile, and said, "But I understand now, it's really worthy of Sayu-chan, our princess of Xugao. ~~”

   "That's why I told you to stop calling me that."

   "Hee hee, follow orders~"

   "Really..."

   Sayu raised his head and cast a slightly reproachful look at her, and because of this action, the girl's slender neck was exposed and successfully attracted Yuko's attention.

   "Huh? What a beautiful pendant! Did you buy this new? Sayu-chan."

The    white gold necklace and the transparent cinnabar bottle are paired together to make the girl's skin very fair.

   "No, I didn't buy this." Sayu shook his head and gently poked the cinnabar bottle with the index finger of his right hand, causing the "small ball" inside to make a crisp clicking sound and laughing.

   "I don't know what happened, but after I got up one day, this was placed on my desk. Probably my brother gave it to me."

   "Hey~~ really beautiful."

   "Hmm~ I felt the same way, so I wore it."

   "Didn't you ask Brother Yisa about this?"

   "Well...because he and mom have been very busy recently, my brother went to the company when I got up, so I haven't had a chance."

   "That's it... I always think it's not easy being the president of a big company."

   Facing Yuko Masaka's emotion, Sayu didn't say anything, just tapped his head as a response.

  Clang!

  The sound of batting from the baseball club's practice was heard from the playground outside, and there were also subtle cries.

  The cool breeze was blowing slowly, and Yuzi couldn't help but raise his head and look out the window.

   "Baseball club, it's really hard... Huh—?" She stopped in her mouth halfway through.

   A tiny black spot is slowly magnifying in the field of vision.

  From a small point at first, to the size of a rice grain, to the size of an egg... The black point grows rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

   The original black spot turned white, clearly showing the appearance of a baseball, and flew straight towards her.

   In the blink of an eye, the baseball was approaching her face.

"what…"

   Yuko Masaka's pupils dilated slightly, before she could react.

  Clap, a hand suddenly blocked in front of her face, and the five fingers like scalloped white were drawn together, holding the baseball in the palm of his hand.

   Time seemed to freeze so quickly.

   Until the girl breaks the silence...

   "Are you all right? Knot."

   only brought her consciousness back in an instant.

   "—Huh huh!"

   Yuko Masaka blinked quickly, and then exclaimed in surprise: "What is this!? It's amazing! Sayu-chan-!"

"Uh…?"

   "I don't even know! I didn't react at all - did you have such good motor nerves! Super-handsome!"

   "No, this is..."

   Sayu blinked a little dumbfounded, and then looked at the baseball in his hand, also very puzzled.

  I don't know why, but her body seems to have gotten a lot better recently. Whether it's running or high jumping in gym class, she's much better than before.

  However, I can't say why it's like this. In the end, it can only be attributed to the effect of vitamins. After all, she doesn't drink milk very much, because she always feels that it will make unnecessary parts grow, which is very distressing…

   Thinking of this, Sayu shook her head, stood up from her seat, and looked out the window towards the playground.

   Two baseball club members in training uniforms were running towards the school building, looking nervous.

   "That—is this yours?" She shouted to the bottom, stretched her right hand out of the window and shook it twice, showing the baseball in her hand.

  Seeing this…

"Yes-!"

The two people below    immediately waved their hands high and responded loudly: "Excuse me! Is anyone injured? Can I trouble you to drop it?"

  According to what they said, Sayu gently dropped the ball,

  The baseball came in a free fall in the air and "snapped" into someone's glove.

   "Good news! Ogiharsan—!"

   "Don't call again next time, it's very dangerous."

   "Thank you! Princess! We will definitely pay attention-!" The two boys shouted gratefully, and happily ran to the playground with the ball.

  When Sayu sat down again…

   "Pfft... Sure enough - Sayu-chan is the princess of our school, everyone thinks so." Yuko Masaka giggled.

   Sayu was a little gloomy and embarrassed about this, so she stopped paying attention to her, and just ate her lunch in silence.

  Knowing that she was wrong, Yuko put her hands together in front of her face and quickly apologized, "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I promise I won't say that next time, so forgive me Sayu-chan."

   "You said that just now."

"That's because others called me that first... Anyway, I'm going to buy a drink for you, you wait." Yuko Masaka hurried out of the classroom as she said that, without even giving her a chance to stop her .

   Sayu shook his head helplessly, and then looked at his right hand with a bit of confusion in his eyes.

   After thinking for a while, she took out the book given by Mr. Yagami from her schoolbag, and softly read the name on it.

   ""The Swamp Boy", Nagumo Ryunosuke."

   (It has nothing to do with the original work, please don't take it seriously or misinterpret it.)

   Thank you [Book Friend 2021030110402401976], [Celtic Passerby], [Half-Life Delusion], and [Zheng Shun] for their rewards.
