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

Chapter 191 Mother and Daughter
Things seem to be like this.

"It's hard work, be careful when you go home."

"Well, you've worked hard. There's still half an hour left, Mami, please do your best."

"It's an easy time, I'm fine. Goodbye then."

Seeing Sayu clocking in after get off work, Mami who walked to the door smiled and waved goodbye to her.Then he returned to the convenience store and continued to work on organizing the shelves.

After driving away Yaguchi Kyouya, Mami's way of speaking and feeling has returned to the usual way.It was as if he had completely forgotten what happened in the morning, and he didn't take the beating matter to heart at all.

Even though Sayu was very worried about this, she didn't care about it. Instead, she turned to persuade Sayu not to take it to heart, and she didn't know where the enigmatic confidence came from.

It is worth mentioning that Yaguchi Yaguchi, who had been slapped in the face, probably knew that she was wronged first, and never came back. As for the police she was worried about, she did not show up at all.

Therefore, despite what happened this morning, Sayu got off work safely and smoothly.

'If you think about the good, maybe the other party should also give up. 'While thinking about this, I bid farewell to Mami.

The girl who had changed her clothes came to the shopping street next to the station with a canvas bag on her back, and began to buy the ingredients for dinner.

First I bought two eels at the aquatic product store, then I bought some leeks and green vegetables at the vegetable store, and when I passed by the rice cake shop, I couldn't resist buying some rice cakes.

Occasionally, when I meet a familiar housewife, I will say hello and chat with each other with a smile.

Mixed among a group of middle-aged women, the girl didn't feel disobedient at all, instead there was a quite natural and harmonious atmosphere.

Just walking and stopping along the way, the canvas pocket on the shoulder gradually became bulging, and it was filled with various ingredients.

"Hmm - the main course is eel rice, the side dish is scrambled eggs with leeks, and the dessert is red bean rice cake soup... plus there is still leftover lobster from yesterday, this should be enough~~"

Sayu, who put her finger on her chin, looked at the sky and muttered to herself, a lively smile slowly appeared on her cute little face.

Looking at the time on the phone, she murmured again: "Okay! There is still plenty of time, so when Yusuke comes home, dinner and bath water should be ready just in time, go back and get ready!"

At this time, a store in the shopping street also turned on the headlights at the same time.

Subconsciously, Sayu's gaze was attracted by the bright light.

In this way, a team composed of women came into view.

There was a pause under her feet, and the girl's expression became a little hesitant.

"As long as you walk faster in the future, it shouldn't have much impact..."

Saying so, she went straight to the end of the line and lined up, and in front of the line was a milk tea shop.

After waiting in line for about 10 minutes, the girl got what she wanted and got what she wanted.

"I kept you waiting, here is your strawberry milkshake, 650 yen in total~"

"Ah, thank you~!"

Facing the clerk who handed over the milkshake, Sayu nodded in thanks and put the money on the cash register tray, then picked up the milkshake and prepared to turn around and leave.

"Hello, please give us a strawberry milkshake."

The next customer's words came from behind, and the clerk said in a somewhat apologetic tone: "I'm very sorry, the raw materials for this product have been used up, would you like to choose other flavors?"

Looking back inadvertently, a pair of mother and daughter came into her eyes.

I saw the woman lowered her head and asked the girl who looked like a primary school student beside her, "What should I do? Mai, do you have any other flavors you want?"

Even the clerk put on a gentle smile and said, "In addition to strawberry, there are other flavors of milkshakes that are also very delicious, little sister."

To this, the little girl shook her head slowly, raised her head and said in a milky voice, "But I want a strawberry milkshake."

The clerk looked at the woman with some trouble.

The other party smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, because this kid has always liked strawberry flavor, but there's nothing I can do... Sorry, Mai, anyway, let's go home with mom today?"

The second half of the sentence was addressed to the little girl.

A small face carved in pink and jade was slightly wrinkled, and those round eyes suddenly dimmed.

Unexpectedly, the little girl neither cried nor made a fuss, but was quietly led out of the team by her mother, while her other free hand was tightly clutching the corner of her skirt, with a very lonely expression on her face.

The woman gently stroked her head, and kept comforting her with soft words.

With eyes that seemed to be looking somewhere far away, Sayu looked at this scene with some ecstasy.

Envy, longing, disappointment, despair... All kinds of complex emotions emerged in the eyes at the same time.

It was as if some hole deep in my heart had been quietly opened, and an indescribable discomfort surged up.

As if driven by some kind of force, she slowly walked to the other side, then bent down and said: "Well, if you don't mind..."

Accompanied by a dull voice, the glass of strawberry milkshake just bought was handed to the mother and daughter.

"Ah! No, what a shame..."

The woman waved her hands in surprise, then suddenly stopped speaking as if thinking of something, and looked towards the little girl.

A worried little face came into view like this, making her speechless immediately.

A soft smile appeared on Sayu's face, and then she squatted down slightly, so that her gaze was at the same level as the girl's.

"Your name is Mai-chan~ I'm sorry, I stole your milkshake, so this cup is for you."

As he spoke, he pushed the milkshake over there.

Although she was obviously eager, the little girl called Mai didn't pick it up immediately, but looked up at her mother, as if asking if it was okay.

see this -

"I'm really sorry... the total is 650 yen, right? Thank you, little girl." The woman who said so took out a thousand-yen bill from her wallet and handed it to Sayu.

"No, no need."

Sayu repeatedly waved her hands.

The apology on the woman's face was deeper, and she kept saying thank you.

Handing the milkshake to the girl, Sayu was about to get up and leave.

The girl who took the milkshake was not in a hurry to drink it, but stretched out her immature hands to hug her gently, and said, "Thank you, pretty sister."

The milky voice came to my ears.

In an instant, something deeply buried in my heart seemed to be healed a lot.
