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

Chapter 256 Marshmallow

Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock

Inside the shrine, there is a crisp sound of clogs stepping on.

Colorful stalls stand on both sides of the road, exhaling all kinds of smells.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue...

The clothes of the girls who come and go are also blooming in bright colors, which complement the yo-yos floating on the water.

Children wearing masks ran around wielding toy swords, while the adults holding beer followed behind with a smile, their expressions on their faces were gentler than usual.

The originally tall and solemn torii is also a little softer under the bright lights, quietly watching everyone who comes here.

In this small dreamland, there are several lanterns with the names of local businesses and shops hanging, illuminating the night with dim lights.

Stand directly below the torii gate.

"Wow……"

Sayu sighed, and couldn't help letting go of her palm, trotting ahead.

Knock knock, knock knock.

"Haha...so spectacular!"

The look of opening the mouth looks a little silly, but also a little cute.The girl just looked around in such a lively manner, the expression on her face was like that of a child brought to an amusement park by an adult for the first time.

Kato Yusuke then put his hand to his mouth as if to amplify the sound, and warned: "Don't get lost."

"No way." Sayu, who was looking east and west, turned her head to look here, with a hearty smile on her face, and then kept pointing around and asking.

"Yusuke Yusuke, what is that?"

"Fishing goldfish."

"What about the one next to it?"

"Water polo."

"What about this one over here?"

"Airgun shooting."

"And this one?"

"That one was just an ordinary mask booth."

Kato Yusuke, with his hands in his sleeves, walked forward slowly, then stretched out a hand towards the other's forehead, and flicked his fingers on it.

"ah!"

Boom——

The girl made a cute voice, and Sayu covered her head with both hands following the muffled sound.

"Hey, what's going on? What's going on?"

The other party looked up with an inexplicable and pitiful expression.

Kato Yusuke responded noncommittally: "This is just punishment for annoying JK who deliberately picked some childish questions to tease people. Do you think you are a child?"

"Hey hey, does it look like it?"

"I'm not praising you."

"But then again~"

Saying so, the girl tilted her upper body slightly.

"I think Yusuke is the only one who will really put me in the care of a child. At least in the eyes of others, don't I feel like a new wife?"

The unique sweetness of citrus that belonged to the other party floated over gently, and mixed with the sweetness in the air, blending like a fruit-like taste with a layer of syrup.

The soft hemispherical F-cup peeks out from the neckline of the yukata, exuding a strong femininity.Kato Yusuke involuntarily turned his eyes away, and secretly forced himself not to imagine the body temperature hidden under the shadows.

So he decided to change the subject.

"One day you'll be a good bride—"

The words stopped suddenly at this point, and Kato Yusuke, who realized what he said, immediately looked at Sayu.

I saw the other party was standing there with his mouth half open, dumbfounded, also looking speechless, obviously he didn't expect to hear such feelings.

Just a few seconds passed.

The girl's fair cheeks slowly turned red.

"That... means..."

Sayu asked him with a voice that was so weak that it was about to disappear: "Will I be Yusuke's... bride in the future?"

Obviously the voice was as thin as a mosquito gnat, but for some reason it was still heard clearly.

"Ok?"

Kato Yusuke's eyelids twitched a few times, while Sayu lowered her head in embarrassment, her face reddened to the base of her ears.

--"bride"

The illusory but full of fantasy words, like the full moon hanging high in the night sky, are so far away that even if they are used as a joke, people don't know how to react.

Neither of them spoke for a while.

Staring absently at the bright white leisurely moon, Kato Yusuke silently thought about some irrelevant questions, and then asked nonchalantly.

"...I seem to smell apple candy just now, shall we go buy it?"

The girl's slender body trembled slightly, then slowly raised her head, closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

When she opened her eyes again, a smile appeared on her face again.

"Well, I want to go!"

◇

After a few minutes, the two stopped in front of a stall.

The stall owner is an easy-going uncle, who is adding coarse sugar to the high-temperature circular furnace at the moment.Surrounded by a few eagerly awaited children.

"So it's cotton candy?"

"Ah... cotton candy..."

Sayu murmured, with a tone of emotion.

Seeing this, Kato Yusuke said to the stall owner, "Excuse me, please give us one."

"Okay, one hundred yen."

He immediately took out a hundred yen and handed it to the other party.

"...Huh? Yusuke..." Suddenly regaining consciousness, Sayu cast his gaze over.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"Uh……?"

"Because you look like you want to be."

"Is it so obvious..."

The girl stuffed the slightly cool catkin into his hand, and said softly: "I just remembered going to a festival when I was a child, but I couldn't get the adults to buy it for me. I remember the things at that time very clearly, so I have always been interested in it." interest."

Sayu, who was staring at the heart of the furnace, raised her head slightly, and asked a little unconfidently: "Is this strange...?"

Like a piece of fragile porcelain, a little weakness appeared in the girl's eyes.

Kato Yusuke remained silent, but shook his head slowly and firmly, and pulled him closer to the stove.There were originally two children here, but after they got their own cotton candy and left, it became empty.

"Although I don't know if we can make up for your regrets at the time, but now you are free, let us start with little things, such as the process of making cotton candy."

"Like This."

Sayu nodded slowly, her eyes swaying.Immediately, he turned his attention to the hearth of the furnace and watched it.

Buzz, woo--

The kind uncle is turning the disposable chopsticks in his hands, making the sugar silk entangled on them. It is very interesting to see, and it also has the style of a summer festival.

"Ai."

Sayu, who lowered her head, suddenly called out softly, attracting Kato Yusuke's attention.The furnace light shone on her side face, dyeing that face an orange red like a burning cloud.

The girl murmured, "Why were you willing to answer that question just now?"

Not caring about the other party who became quiet due to certain emotions, she resisted the urge to turn her head and peek, and continued talking.

""Someone will wait for me at the end", can I report this expectation? "

No matter how cautious he was, there was still a hint of eagerness for an answer in his tone.

The surrounding seemed to be quiet all of a sudden.

Pound, thump.

The cool little hands became a little stiff, and the palms of the palms began to sweat slightly. Just when the owner couldn't help but want to withdraw his hands quietly, in case someone noticed something abnormal...

"I just don't deny any possibility." Kato Yusuke said lightly.

Although the answer was a bit irrelevant, it didn't make Sayu say "This is not an answer at all".

After a while, Sayu nodded and responded.

"...Well, that's true."

Then he turned around again, with a narrow smile on his face.

"You're really not being frank."

"..."

Kato Yusuke didn't bother to explain this, but just pointed to the front, where the stall owner's work was coming to an end.

"Come on, it's done."

The uncle who turned off the machine handed over a marshmallow about the size of a football.

"Wow, what a big shot...thank you."

Sayu said gratefully, and took the marshmallow from the uncle.

"It's great, it's real cotton candy!"

The girl with a smile on her face showed him the cotton candy. She looked very cute, like a child showing off her treasures to adults.

'Although it's just sugar. ' Kato Yusuke was thinking a bit, but he didn't say it out loud, he just observed the way the other party was eating interestingly.

After tearing off a small piece of marshmallow with her hands, Sayu immediately yelled "Wow" in surprise.

"I didn't realize it was super sticky until I touched it."

"It's sugar after all."

"That's what I said-"

Immediately after—

"It's amazing, it melted in the mouth in an instant!" The girl's eyes were slightly rounded in surprise.

"I already said it's sugar." Kato Yusuke, who watched this scene, couldn't help laughing.

Sayu who was laughed at by him pouted her lips in dissatisfaction, "Don't laugh at me, it's the first time I eat..."

Yusuke nodded slightly at this, and signaled with his eyes that he knew, but the smile on his face had not completely dissipated.

"But..." The girl snorted softly, then continued to tear off a piece of marshmallow and put it in her mouth.

"Whether it's the original stickiness of the marshmallow, or the fact that it melts in your mouth—"

Sayu said briskly, "If I hadn't met Yusuke, I definitely wouldn't have known about it..."

Kato Yusuke smiled and said nothing, just looked at her with soft eyes, and said: "Remember not to eat too much, there are many others in the future."

"Are we one and a half?"

"okay."

"Oh~ in that case."

Without any explanation, the girl tore a piece of marshmallow towards his mouth, "Then please open your mouth. Ah~~"

The fluffy shreds of sugar and the cold fingers touched the mouth together, and there was a sweet and faint smell of soap from the tip of the nose.

Kato Yusuke then opened his mouth and ate the marshmallow.

"How about it?"

Smiling, Sayu withdrew his hand, then put the fingertips wrapped in sugar into his mouth, and asked with his fingers, "Isn't it sweet and delicious?"

Gently moving his eyes on those shiny lips, Yusuke Kato nodded "Hmm" and said something delicious.

Clogs stepped on a cheerful rhythm and continued the night.

The two walked forward side by side.
