Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home Chapter 537

   Chapter 537 Farewell

   on the tram.

   From an objective point of view, Kato Yusuke briefly told Megumi about Serizawa Yu.

  From how to meet each other and ask for help, to how to ask Shinjoka to take care of them, to the reason why I ran away from home...

  While he was stating this, the girl just listened quietly and did not express any opinion.

  Just like that, the two arrived at Takadanobaba Station together.

   walked out of the crowded station and stood in the bustling station square.

  After getting off the train, Megumi asked for the first time, "Well, first of all, do you know where to find that girl? Yusuke."

   "—I know." Kato Yusuke nodded, looking in a certain direction,

   "Follow me, let's go this way."

   He said and stretched out a hand, "There are many people here, hold me and be careful to lose."

   "...Well, then I'll leave it to you." The girl shoved her hand into his without hesitation.

   The cool soft touch came from his hand, but Kato Yusuke no longer had any distracting thoughts.

  According to the position confirmed on the tracker when he left the station just now, he pulled Hui up and walked forward.

   Actually.

   Ever since he went out, he has been using various gaps to confirm the location on the tracker.

   The strange thing is that Serizawa Yu moved for a while at the beginning, and then basically stayed in one place.

   It took about fifteen minutes from the time they took the tram to here, and the girl remained motionless.

   Kato Yusuke had no way of knowing the reason, and only vaguely guessed that the other party might be caught by someone or something.

   Fortunately, the current sky has not completely darkened, and the security situation here is relatively safe, so there should not be too much danger.

   Having said that, when I think of the picture of the girl sitting alone under the telephone pole...

  It was inevitable that he was a little restless, and unknowingly quickened his pace a little.

  The two hurried in silence and arrived at a small park ten minutes later.

   Then I saw this picture…

  The orange-red sunset dyed the park red and bleak, and the lively children were playing on the horizontal bar inside, giving out lively laughter from time to time.

   A group of elderly people were sitting on the small stairs next to the open space, looking after the children not far away, while pulling a young girl who didn't know what they were talking about.

  The girl was wearing a camel-colored long-sleeved sweater with a dark brown long skirt, and a beige canvas pocket in her hand.

   Through the uneven surface of the pocket, it can be seen that there are a lot of things inside, and there is also a green onion sticking out diagonally from the bag.

   If you ignore her too young appearance, this kind of dress is basically the same as that of an ordinary housewife.

   Judging from the atmosphere emanating from there and the expressions on the faces of the people, I could not feel any nervousness.

   Kato Yusuke breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression was no longer so serious.

  【Target: Serizawa Yu, the tracking is completed, the remaining available times of the item is 1. 】

  —a system prompt pops up in your mind.

   "Huh...that~"

The companion beside    asked aloud, "Is that girl the one you're looking for? Yusuke."

   Maybe it was because I was in a hurry just now, but Megumi's breath was a little faster than usual, and the temperature on her hands also warmed up unconsciously.

   He was looking at the girl not far away at the moment, with a little curiosity in his clear and bright eyes.

   "Well, it's her."

   Kato Yusuke confirmed her guess, then slightly lowered the brim of the peaked cap on his head, and shouted, "Xiao Xi—"

The voice of    spread in the park and immediately attracted people's attention, including Yu Serizawa of course.

   "—Yusuke-san!?"

   The girl looked back in surprise, her bright little face suddenly lit up, but she was stunned when she saw their figures clearly.

   Knowing that the other party had such a reaction because of him, Megumin nodded slightly in greeting.

   "Oh, is your friend looking for you? Little girl." An old grandmother on the other side of the steps asked Serizawa Xi, drawing her attention back.

   "—Hmm! It's my friend."

   She said and bowed slightly, "I'm sorry I have to go, grandpa, and grandma. Bye~"

   "Oh~ Goodbye, little girl."

   After saying goodbye to several elderly people, Serizawa Yu trotted to the park entrance.

   "Yusuke-san..."

   was about to say something, but Kato Yusuke raised his hand to stop her.

   "Leave here first, I'll talk about it later on the road."

   "Huh? Ah, okay..."

   So the three of them left together.

   Just walked like this for a while, and waited until it was some distance away from the park.

   "What happened to those people just now?" Kato Yusuke asked bluntly: "Are you in trouble?"

   "Well...Ahaha, actually, I can't say trouble." Serizawa Yu, who was walking on his left, smiled wryly.

   "Those old grandpas and grandmas are residents of this neighborhood, and I have met them a few times when I usually go out. I was arrested today and asked about the background."

   "Ask the background?"

   "Well, because I only started working here recently, and I was wearing a school uniform before, so I seem to have been recognized, and it took a lot of time... But I still made up a story and fooled it."

   "Ah, so I've heard Yusuke talk about it."

  Mei Weiwei, who was walking on the right, leaned forward slightly and asked curiously, "You went to the Yotsuya Futaba Academy, right?"

   "That's right...that, may I ask you who..."

   "Hmm~ I'm sorry, I should introduce myself. My name is Megumi Kato, and I'm Yusuke's classmate and friend."

   "Classmates and friends...Hey, that means Xiaoxiang...I mean Miss Shinjo..."

   "Well~ we are all classmates."

   "That's it... So that's how it is."

   Serizawa Yu murmured, and suddenly relaxed for some reason.

   "My name is Serizawa Yu, just call me Xiaoxi. Please advise, Miss Kato."

   "Just call me Kato, okay?"

  Mei responded with a smile, and then said: "Also, classmate Shinjo seems to be worried about you all the time, you can call her back."

   "Phone...this one...sorry."

   Serizawa Yu said apologetically: "Although I have a mobile phone, it is correct, but the service has been suspended for not paying the fee."

   Hearing Kato Yusuke here, he suddenly asked, "Shinjo said that she went to find you, but you didn't go to the supermarket where you usually buy things."

   "Well, that's because I went to another supermarket today. It's a bit farther away, but there's a promotion over there today, so..."

   Serizawa said this, and suddenly reacted after realizing it, and asked timidly: "Ah, uh... Uh, did I cause trouble for everyone?"

   "It's nothing, remember to tell me before going out next time..." Kato Yusuke kept silent when he was halfway through.

   And the girl lowered the corners of her eyes in loneliness and forced a smile: "...Ahaha, there is no next time."

   A moment of silence followed.

   As if to break the deadlock, Serizawa Yu laughed again "hey".

   "But it's okay, I'll keep Yusuke-san's words in my heart. Also..."

   She gently lifted the bag full of ingredients in her hand, and tried to say in a relaxed tone:

   "As a thank you and an apology for the trouble, can I make dinner for you at the end? Of course, Kato-san, please come too."

   Kato Yusuke remained silent.

   "We've already had dinner." - As he was about to answer, someone spoke ahead of him.

   "Hmm~ OK, if Serizawsan and Shinjo-san think it's okay, I'm willing to go."

After    responded to Serizawa Yu, Kei asked again, "How about you, Yusuke?"

   Kato Yusuke took back the words he had prepared, then nodded slowly, and said succinctly, "Okay."

  Just like that, the three of them came to the apartment together.

   Click, click.

   When Serizawa Yu just opened the door with the spare key, before he could even say anything...

   Ding Ding Deng Deng —

   Accompanied by a series of soft footsteps, the girl's angry voice went from far to near.

   "What are you kidding! You're a troublesome lady—!"

   Next second.

  Shinjoka, who was petite and exquisite, rushed up angrily, and mercilessly put both hands on her cheeks, and then pulled hard to both sides.

   "I'm going to grab it!"

"it hurts!?"

   The intense pain caused Serizawa Yu to cry out involuntarily, but he still couldn't quell Shinjoka's anger.

   "Damn! Where did you go? You idiot! You want to make me hated by the president, don't you? I will never let you go."

   "It hurts so much~~~~~ Xiaoxiang, I'm sorry!"

   "Shut up! Do you know how long you've been out of contact—?"

   Xinjianxiang is really furious at the moment, and he wants to vent his anger.

   She never imagined that after taking care of this girl for so long, something went wrong at the last moment.

   If there is really going to be a mistake, how should she face that person—!

   In this state, she didn't even have time to observe the surrounding environment, until the familiar voice sounded from the side...

   "Okay, new article."

   Shinjoka's hand loosened unconsciously, and turned her head to look subconsciously.

   "...the president? And the vice president?" She couldn't help but be stunned.

   "Good evening, Shinjo-kun." Megumi greeted her as usual.

   "Ugh, it hurts. But...Vice President?" Serizawa Yu was puzzled, but Shinjoka didn't have time to answer this question.

   First glanced at the boy and girl who appeared in front of his house, and then at Serizawa Yu, her eyes moved slightly.

   "Good evening, Vice President, did you bring her back...?"

   "No." Megumin shook his head, "If you want to say, it should be Yusuke who found her, I just followed."

   "I see, President, I..." Shinjoka tried to apologize, but Kato Yusuke interrupted her directly.

   "Anyway, let's go ahead and talk about it."

   The four entered the room together.

   "Well, I'm going to make coffee for everyone." Serizawa Yu took the initiative to run to the kitchen to work, while the rest sat around the table.

  Mei looked around the room and said, "Hey, I always feel that the layout of Shinjo-kun's home is similar to that of Yusuke's."

   Xintiaoxiang's eyelids twitched slightly and replied with a smile, "Is that so? But the bachelor apartments are basically the same, right?"

   "Well, even the house number is the same as room "201", that is, the layout of classmate Shinjo needs to be updated. "

   "Hehe, thank you~ After all, I was looking for a house for a long time, and I finally chose this place."

   Hearing that, Megumin glanced at her.

   "Is that so, did Shinjo-kun live alone? I just found out about it."

   "Speaking of which, I just moved here not long ago."

   "Hey~ are all these things moved by classmate Shinjo? It's amazing."

"about this…"

   Shinjoka said respectfully: "Actually, I asked the president to help me move, otherwise I wouldn't be able to clean up so smoothly. The president is super nice~"

   "...Hey, that's it."

   Hearing this, Megumi glanced to the side involuntarily, and out of the corner of the eye stayed on the boy for a second, then nodded.

   "Yeah~ I see. Yusuke takes good care of everyone in the student council."

   Kato Yusuke didn't say a word, while Shinjoka nodded again and again as if unaware of the atmosphere, followed by saying "Really~", and then he turned around again.

   "But ah~ Although the president is indeed very good to everyone, but in terms of the most important person in my heart, it is the vice president."

   Before Megumin could express her opinion, she asked again with a little curiosity:

   "By the way, the clothes the president and vice president wore today seem to be the same style. Did you buy them in the same store? What a coincidence."

  Mei's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she said as usual, "Well, I bought it at the same store."

   This is the set that Yusuke Kato bought for her when they were shopping last time.

   "What, is that true~?"

  Xinjoxiang held his chin with one hand and played with his taste: "But the vice president is so cute in this dress, and he looks like a couple's outfit with the president~~~"

   Facing her remarks, Hui's face changed imperceptibly, and she blushed lightly: "...It's not a couple, that's a huge misunderstanding."

   "Ahaha, I get it, it's just a joke, don't worry about it~"

   Shinjoka covered her mouth with her hand and laughed while talking.

   The loose sweater sleeves wrapped around her hands, revealing only her slender fingertips.

   After laughing for a while, Shinjoka didn't go further on the topic, but said this to the point:

   "Well~ Anyway, you are welcome to come here as a guest, vice president. In fact, Xiao Xi has always wanted to cook for the president one last time. If you don't mind, please stay and eat together~"

   After she finished speaking, she got up and walked to the kitchen, helping Serizawa Yu to serve coffee together, without even looking at Kato Yusuke.

   looked at her back thoughtfully for a while, then Megumi looked back and looked at someone beside her.

   The thoughts in my mind turned a few times.

   There was a slight wave in the girl's eyes, and finally returned to calm.

   After that, Serizawa Yu carefully prepared a large table of sumptuous dishes, and basically tried his best.

   Megumi, who thought she was full, couldn't help but eat a little after tasting the girl's craftsmanship.

   The same is true for Kato Yusuke, but he doesn't eat much food, and most of the time he drinks miso soup.

   Serizawa Yu, who also didn't eat much, sat on his left.

   seems to have been observing his situation. Whenever he sees that the soup in the bowl is about to be finished, he will get up in time to help him continue to serve it.

   "Don't worry about me, just eat it yourself."

   Even if he told the other party like this, the girl just nodded and agreed with "Mmmm~", but she still put her whole heart on him.

   Seeing this, Kato Yusuke also gave up his persuasion and drank the soup silently.

   Maybe because of his influence, the atmosphere at the table was rather quiet.

   As if curious about the girl, Megumi took the initiative to ask.

   "Speaking of which, Serizawsan. Although Yusuke told me something about you, may I ask a question?"

   "Question? Well, okay, what does Miss Kato want to ask?" Serizawa Yu sat up slightly.

   "Ah~ you don't have to be so nervous, it's okay, I just want to chat with you. If there is anything you don't want to answer, don't force it."

   "No~ It's okay, Miss Kato just ask."

   "Well, that would be rude."

  Megumi pondered and said, "Actually, I'm a little curious, why did Serizawsan choose to run away from home in the first place? Don't you have anyone else to turn to? Like friends and boyfriends."

   "Friends and...boyfriends?"

   "Well, after all, people you know are more trustworthy than asking strangers for help, right?"

"Aha…"

   Serizawa Xi blinked and laughed, "Ahaha, because I've been studying at a girls' school, I don't have a boyfriend."

   "No? What about friends?"

   "...Well, it's not that I haven't tried it, but everyone hates me."

"Hate you…?"

   "Well, because my parents used to be rich people, and they always looked like they were self-righteous... However, they all passed away in accidents."

   Serizawa Yu explained in a low voice: "Once there is no backing, my original friends will hate me all of a sudden... No, maybe I'm already annoying, ahaha..."

   As he spoke, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

   "That's it... I'm sorry." Hui whispered, not knowing how to react for a while, and finally fell silent.

  The brief episode made the atmosphere a bit unusual, but Shinjoka immediately changed the topic with the cultural festival, so it was not too cold.

  Time passes slowly...

   Wait until after dinner.

   Kei, who felt sorry in her heart, did not listen to Serizawa Yu's obstruction, and took the initiative to help the other party to wash the dishes together, and then prepared to leave.

   Kato Yusuke also got up and said goodbye, intending to send her home.

   Just before they were ready to go out…

   "—Please wait, Yusuke-san, and Kato-san." Serizawa Yu hurried up.

   "Well, this is the jacket Yusuke-san borrowed from me before. I'm sorry I haven't returned it to you. I've cleaned it well. Also, please accept this...!"

   As she said, she stretched out her hands and handed over a paper bag with a jacket and a notebook.

  《Recipe Notes That Can Be Made Easily》

   The graceful font on the cover is reflected in Kato Yusuke's eyes.

   "...What is this?" He couldn't help but ask with some doubts.

   "I made recipe notes."

   Yusawa Serizawa explained: "The above records the cooking methods that Yusuke-san likes to eat. I have sorted them according to the reaction of Yusuke-san when eating the dishes. Please use them well."

   "My favorite dishes...?" Kato Yusuke muttered to himself.

"Um-!"

  The girl nodded vigorously, let out a short laugh of "Hey~", and looked at him and said:

  "...Although I can't make it for Yusuke-san in the future, I have written down the steps of making each dish.

  If you want to eat in the future, you should be able to eat as long as you follow the above method…”

  The voice gradually became lower after that.

   Serizawa Yu maintained the gesture of reaching out, with a bit of reluctance in her clear eyes.

   Shinjoka, who was standing behind her, leaned against the wall with her hands behind her back, her expression a little "boring".

   Kato Yusuke's lips twitched, as if something stuck in his throat, making him speechless for a moment.

   He looked at the cookbook note silently, but did not reach out to pick it up.

  What kind of food does he like?

   That was at best what Sayu had cooked for him, that's all.

   The mood became heavy unconsciously.

   Megumi looked at his reaction with a somewhat incomprehensible look on his face, and then turned his head away.

   "...Well, if you don't mind, can you give me this note? Serizawsan." she asked.

   "Leave it to...Miss Kato...?" Serizawa Yu asked lightly, withdrew her hand unconsciously.

   "Well, because Yusuke hardly cooks himself, I occasionally go to his place to help prepare some dishes, and I can cook it for him. And I will also keep this notebook there."

   "Is that so...?"

   Perhaps feeling reassured by the last sentence, the girl murmured, her face smiled again, and she stretched out her hand again.

   "...Well, yes, then, please accept it."

  “Hmm~”

  Mei reached out and took the paper bag and notebook, and said earnestly, "Thank you, Serizawsan, I will take a serious look."

   "...No, Miss Kato, you're welcome, haha... I should say, it's really nice to have someone take care of Yusuke-san..."

  Empty hands, Serizawa Yu put down his hands, grabbed the forearm of his right hand with his left hand, and turned his eyes to the boy.

   "And there's Brother Yu..."

   She pursed her lower lip and tried to smile.

   "Actually, I've always been a little worried about your state.

   Maybe you may not be aware of it, but Brother Yu, the way you occasionally look at me always makes people feel very, very sad... Did I remind you of someone or something? "

  's soft voice echoed and entered the ears of several people.

   Kato Yusuke's pupils could not help shrinking slightly, and he lost his mind for a moment.

   next to Megumi looked at him thoughtfully, then gently stretched out a hand and touched his arm, "Yusuke...?"

   There was no response, only the dull sound of breathing.

  “…But what?”

   Ignoring the boy's eyes that seemed to be looking through the void, Serizawa Yu continued.

   "Young bro like this, occasionally shows a relaxed smile when eating food. Even if it's just a little bit, it makes me feel really good to be able to help you."

   She said and took a deep breath, tears flashing in her eyes, although she was slightly choked up, she still forced a smile and said:

   "Anyway, I should leave tomorrow, please don't push yourself too hard in the future, remember to take good care of your health... okay?"

   Like being hit by a heavy hammer on the chest, Kato Yusuke's face was tight, his lips were blue, and he couldn't make any sound.

   His pupils vibrated violently, his chest also rose and fell rapidly, as if a tsunami had occurred in his heart.

  Indescribable bitterness surged up.

  The **** is slightly itchy and sticky.

   He opened his mouth and couldn't help but want to say something.

   Adam's apple rolled up and down, and finally he just swallowed heavily.

  The indescribable depression spreads in the entrance.

   was silent for a long time.

   Resisting the embarrassment in his heart, Kato Yusuke said in a low voice:

   "...After you go back this time, if things don't get better, call me or Xintiao, and I'll help you or bring you back."

   As the sound settled, the scene suddenly fell silent.

   Serizawa Yu couldn't help but froze in place, tears welling up in her eyes.

   Shinjoka's eyes moved slightly, but she didn't say anything.

  Mei's eyes flickered, with a bit of deep thought in it.

   Ignoring the reactions of the three, the young man said "that's it" very quickly.

   finished—

   He turned around suddenly and rushed out the door.

  The sound of heavy footsteps then disappeared...

   (Underwritten progress 4.5/5)

   Thanks for the tip of 【Boring Holiday】.
