Reborn in Tokyo after picking up Sayu who ran away from home

Chapter 180 Guardians

Nearly ten o'clock in the evening.

After packing up the dishes, Sayu glanced at the clock on the wall, and then said to Mami: "It's already this time, Mami, it's time for you to go home, right?"

"Ah, really."

Mami looked a bit distressed: "Does it mean that time has passed so fast? I didn't feel it at all."

"After all, you look very happy~"

Sayu laughed lightly and said, "Do you still want to live here?"

"Hey, is it okay?"

"Sorry, but this is the only thing that can't be done." Kato Yusuke folded his hands on his chest, expressing his refusal.

Mami shook her shoulders jokingly, and joked to him: "Sure enough, you are thinking about something strange, right? Kato Tsai."

As if amused by her own words, she burst out laughing.I don't know what's so funny.

Regarding this, Kato Yusuke shrugged and did not answer the question.

"Ah, yes, yes, there is one more thing."

As if thinking of something, Mami tapped her left fist on her right palm with a "boom", then looked at him and asked.

"Speaking of which, Kato Tsai, you said it before? Said that I can come here often or something like that."

Glancing at the other party, Kato Yusuke opened his mouth and said.

"...To be more specific, what I said before should be that you are welcome to come next time instead of coming often, but considering the number of times you have visited recently, there is no difference."

After that, he sighed helplessly, and then continued: "Also, even if I tell you not to visit so frequently, will you honestly do what I say?"

Hearing what he said, Mami laughed frequently as if she was amused from the bottom of her heart, then raised her head and covered her mouth and said.

"no--!"

Unsurprisingly, the girl gave a negative answer.

"After all, Sayu and I are soul mates, so of course we will be together!"

"No, that's why I told you not to use that name..."

Kato Yusuke waved his hand and said, "Although you say that, it's actually because Sayu's food is delicious that you keep coming here for dinner, right?"

Faced with his words, Mami obviously showed a somewhat "bad" expression.

Seeing this, Yusuke couldn't help laughing, and pointed at the other party and said, "Look? What you think in your heart is completely written on your face now."

"Why are you laughing! It's so annoying."

The girl blushed obviously, and then patted his shoulder mercilessly.

"Stupid! You are so annoying!"

Seeing the two of them fighting, Sayu supported one side of his chin with his hand and said something with a smile.

"Your relationship seems to have improved."

"not good at all!"

The two said in unison.

"Ah, even the words are the same now." The girl's tone was a little tasteful.

Mami's expression suddenly changed, and then she moved her body to rub against Sayu.

"Listen to me, Sayu-san ~ Kato-zai, he bullied me. This boy really sucks!"

Kato Yusuke shrugged silently.

Seeing Mami snuggling up against Sayu, the boy issued a kind reminder: "If you continue to dawdle like this, you will probably be taken by the police for counseling on the way home, Mami."

"There are no cops in this area." Asami waved her hands nonchalantly and said, as if she used the words in an old movie, Sayu couldn't help laughing.

The girl reassured her friend and said, "...Even if you don't have a ticket... Poof, I mean the police, but it's dangerous to walk alone at night, Mami. I don't want you to come to play at home, but bump into me on the way back." What accident or incident happened. So let’s go back early today.”

Perhaps it was the concern in the words that moved the other party, Mami nodded several times: "I can't help it, since Sayu-san said the same thing, I'll just go home honestly."

Sayu asked again: "Is it okay to be alone? I remember you said that your home seems not far from here, do you want us to take you back?"

Mami shook her head to say no, and said to the two in a teasing tone: "Besides, it would be more conspicuous to have a group of three high school students walking together on the road at this time? They will be interrogated, Sister Sayu."

This was an unintentional remark, but it caused Sayu's heart to tug suddenly.

The scene of being stopped by the police appeared in front of her eyes, and the girl suddenly became anxious.

And this time...

As if knowing what she was thinking, a warm palm was suddenly placed on the back of her hand.

"It's okay, I'm here."

Kato Yusuke said so.

Accompanied by a gentle voice, a pair of obsidian-like pupils met his eyes, giving people a quiet and steady feeling.

Suddenly, Sayu settled down.

An impulse to squeeze into the other person's arms kept surging in his heart, but it was obviously out of date at this time.

Mami on the side did not see this scene.

After rummaging in the bag she was carrying, the girl took out a white envelope and handed it to Yusuke Kato.

"This is for you, Kato Tsai."

"—?"

Facing the envelope in front of him, Yusuke did not reach out to pick it up, but asked suspiciously, "What is this?"

Mami responded calmly: "After all, I have been coming to your house for dinner some time ago, so this should be considered my food expenses."

Hearing what she said, both of them, including Sayu, were taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, the boy frowned slightly and pushed the envelope back.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, but there is no need."

Looking at Sayu next to him, Yusuke considered his words and said, "Compared to this kind of thing, Sayu is usually thanks to you for taking care of her. In terms of remuneration, this is enough."

After the voice settled, the room suddenly fell silent.

A soft smile appeared on Sayu's face, and Mami's eyes flickered twice.

"Haha~~ What a caring guardian."

Shrugging her shoulders, the girl put the envelope back, unable to tell whether it was approval or helplessness in her eyes.

"Since you've said that, I won't be polite... Ah, but I will come here often, so please be prepared, Mr. Guardian~!"

Facing the ridicule, Kato Yusuke also smiled and replied that there is no problem.

……

As night fell, the street lamps of the old apartment buildings flickered in the darkness.

Watching Mami's back disappear into the end of the field of vision, Kato Yusuke and Sayu walked back into the house from the door.

The atmosphere began to change quietly.

The girl lowered her head and stared straight at her toes, gently pinching the corner of her clothes with her jade fingers, her face was flushed like a foggy sunrise, she looked quite moving.

Seeing this, Kato Yusuke hooked the corner of his mouth.

While reaching out to lift the opponent's chin, he put his mouth next to the opponent's ear.

He said slowly in a deep voice, "tonight...is it okay?"

All of a sudden, Sayu's cheeks turned red up to the ears.

The fresh aroma of mint continues to penetrate from the tip of the nose.

Accompanied by a beating heart, the girl with averted eyes faltered and said: "But, what can... ah?"

Kato Yusuke put an arm around the waist that was tightly grasped.

"Go under the covers with me, of course, and—"

A charming voice came to my ears.

It was silent for about 7 or 8 seconds.

Only then did he slowly spit out the second half of the sentence: "Then... Let me show you whether my little luminous watch is good or not."

"Huh...? Huh——??"
