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

Chapter 203 Many Firsts

"...I was thinking that you weren't in the classroom during your lunch break, so you came here, Yusuke."

Time seemed to be stretched suddenly.

Looking at the girl who was walking slowly, Kato Yusuke had a complicated expression on his face.

It's like a mixture of emotions such as surprise, expectation, relief, confusion, and bewilderment, which makes people feel obscure and difficult to understand.

But in the end it was calm again.

"I thought you wouldn't come."

Kato Yusuke opened his mouth slowly, in exchange for the other party's somewhat puzzled eyes.

"Huh~~ What do you mean by this sentence, does it mean that I have been expelled from the student union?"

"...Sorry, what I just said was wrong."

Yusuke shook his head, and said softly to the girl: "It should be welcome back, Hui."

"Well... thank you, although this statement is a little strange."

Hui, who walked to the desk, said in a normal tone: "So, what are you doing now?"

Kato Yusuke paused: "...The review of new members' documents, the application form from the Ministry of Culture, and the club's budget documents, that's about it."

"Well, this is basically all the work of the student council."

The girl who picked up a pile of documents from the table flipped through the documents in her hand and said, "Why, didn't you ask me to come with you?"

The voice is very soft and soft, like a trickle flowing in my heart.

In response, Kato Yusuke responded with silence.

It wasn't until the other party looked at him again that he whispered, "Because I don't know if you will choose to quit."

The room was suddenly quiet for a moment.

The movement of the girl's hands was also paused, and then she muttered: "... After all, I am also the vice president of the student union, so there should be no reason to quit..."

Having said that, Kei suddenly stopped talking.

Looking carefully at the other person's face, the girl asked, "Hey, Yusuke. What happened?"

Hearing what she said, a pair of dark eyes full of doubts looked over.

The moment she met those eyes, the girl became more certain about her guess.

So I asked again seriously: "I'm asking you, Yusuke. Did something happen to you?"

"It's nothing." —— Kato Yusuke thought this way, but the words turned into a meaningless blank at the edge of his mouth.

"........."

During the long silence, the emotion in his eyes was shaken uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Hui just nodded slightly.

Then he walked around the desk and came to him.

He said something in a tone that was clear and pleasant, but also contained inexplicable courage.

"Talk to me, Yusuke."

……

Wrapped in a soft touch.

Above the neck is warm as spring, below is as cold as water.

"Hey... well, that's just right."

The ears hear soft words, and the eyes see bright eyes and white teeth.

The two sat together on the sofa in the room.

Facing the girl who fixed his head on his legs, today's Kato Yusuke did not refuse for some reason.He just closed his eyes tiredly, and covered his face with the back of his hand, preventing the other party from seeing his expression clearly.

While the girl was stroking his hair gently, she said calmly, "It's okay if you really don't want to talk, just take it as a relaxation, and I will accompany you until class begins."

Kato Yusuke remained silent, but his lips kept moving.

An emotional disk of whether to say or not to say is constant in the mind, but it has never been able to turn it into words, and in the end there is only a long silence.

Even so, the girl did not urge her, but the movements of her hands became more gentle.

After a long while like this, a hoarse and dull words came out of Kato Yusuke's throat.

"...I did something bad."

He gasped and said, "But I don't regret it."

As if wrapped in a thick swamp, his tone was very depressing.

In stark contrast is the girl's warm and pleasant voice.

"Hey~~ So that's the case, if you don't regret it, why do you show such an expression?"

"........."

There was another long silence.

Only time flows quietly.

Without answering this question, Kato Yusuke just moved his body to change himself into a more comfortable position.

A faint fragrance lingers on the tip of the nose.

Different from the previous woody fragrance, the fragrance emanating from the girl at this time is closer to the smell of cherry blossoms.

Very elegant and very special.

Even when cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the fragrance is not too strong, and you can only smell it when you get close to it.

As if to fill the gap, Kato Yusuke asked casually, "Have you changed your perfume, Megumin?"

"..."

There was a sudden pause in the movement of the hand, and the girl's eyes flickered slightly.

"...It's really not like the usual you for asking such a question, and it's also a bit ungentlemanly..."

Hui then shook his head and said, "But no, I'm not using that kind of thing."

An indescribable feeling of pride or joy surfaced slightly on her face, and the girl's expression became gentle.

But Kato Yusuke didn't see this scene, he just responded with a little tiredness: "Maybe, but I quite like it... Sorry, Megumi, just let me sleep for a while."

In this regard, the other party said yes softly.

It didn't take long for the boy on his legs to breathe evenly, and the hand covering his face also slowly slipped down, and was moved to his chest by the girl just before falling off the sofa.

Looking back, a delicate and handsome face appeared in his eyes again.

Gently smoothing the furrowed brows for the other party, the girl just quietly looked at the sleeping face, and she didn't know what kind of emotion was brewing in her clear eyes.

A gust of wind blew into the room, blowing the curtains, and slightly swaying the ends of their hair.

Even though it is summer, the air smells like cherry blossoms.

The bright sunlight shines in through the glass, sprinkles dots on the body, and casts a pair of overlapping shadows on the sofa.

Recalling the brief conversation with An Yilunye on the way here, the girl suddenly asked softly.

"Hey, Yusuke, do you like me?"

The young man remained silent, breathing steadily and long.

"To be honest... I didn't like myself very much in the first place."

As if reciting, Kei's soliloquies echoed in the room.

"I don't have a sense of existence, I haven't participated in clubs, I haven't been a class leader at all, and I don't even have many friends, but I don't have the courage to meet more friends..."

"Obviously longing for change, but at the same time wanting to have a retreat that can return to the original life at any time... Maybe what I was looking forward to was the thrill of not having to take risks, but in the end nothing changed."

Gently rubbing the fork at the end of Kato Yusuke's hair with her hand, the girl's tone seemed a little disappointed.

Just paused for a while.

"But since meeting Yusuke, everything has changed."

With a look of reminiscence, she murmured again: "It's the first time you won't be ignored, the first time you are protected, the first time you hold hands with a boy, the first time you bandage up, the first time you put the Long hair, running for the election together for the first time... Unknowingly, it seems that many firsts have been given to you."

"Even the things about the student union, the time with you is happier than I imagined, so you changed me."

Having said that, the tone gradually became a little low again.

"If... the last time we were in the health room, if Yamaguchi-san hadn't come in, what would have happened to us..."

No one responded.

In the end, it turned into a soft whisper: "Why, can't I meet you earlier?"

As the words fell, the room fell into silence.

He stared down at the sleeping face.

Thick eyebrows, a straight nose bridge, and moderately thick lips.

There is a faint fresh mint smell on the body.

Just watched it quietly for a while.

As if wanting to scrutinize the other party carefully, the girl suddenly leaned down slightly.

The soft hair gently swept across his forehead, and his soft breath blew against his cheeks, intertwining with the other party's breath.

The faces of the two were so close that the girl could even feel the warmth of each other's body.

Look at the face that is close at hand.

His eyes finally settled on his lips.

The pink lips gently opened and closed, exhaling a warm breath.

As the distance shrinks inch by inch, even the light seems to stand still.

But the boy's breathing was still as steady as before, as if he didn't know about it.

In this warm and bright sunshine, even the rustling of the leaves by the breeze seemed particularly active, as if they were also expecting something.

When it was only a few centimeters away, the girl's movements suddenly stopped.

But she neither stepped forward directly like this, nor flinched back in a panic.

Instead, he allowed this movement to freeze for a long time, and finally retreated slowly.

That fair cheek was already covered with red glow at the moment, and at the same time mixed with an inexplicable obscurity.

"That's not possible..."

The girl murmured.

Carefully place the other person's head on the sofa, and then slowly withdraw the body.

Kei left the room without making any sound.

After about ten seconds passed, a deep sigh sounded in the room.

Looking at the dark clouds passing by the window.

The boy who opened his eyes said something softly.

"Looks like it's going to rain..."

Raising his hand to touch his lips, there still seemed to be some warmth left there.

Even the tip of the nose is lingering with the aroma of cherry blossoms.

Sitting up silently from the sofa, Kato Yusuke murmured.

"That's not possible..."
