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

Chapter 257 You and You

The two bought a bright red apple candy to eat in turn, and walked around the shrine grounds.

Lively music and loud voices are intertwined, constantly echoing in the ears.

While biting the dried apple in the icing, he heard the girl next to him speak brightly.

"Yusuke, I want to play with that."

Looking in the direction pointed by the other party, Kato Yusuke nodded, "That's good, but most of the goldfish at the festival are weak, and they may die after a short time. Is it okay?"

"I will take good care of them!" Sayu clenched her fists tightly and said, her small face was slightly tensed because of her seriousness.

'They say that's not the case at all...' Kato Yusuke thought silently, and then said yes.

So the two came to the booth together, only to find out that the water yo-yo and the goldfish they saw before are actually the same family.

After paying 600 yen to the uncle at the booth, they each got a handful of fishing nets.

"Good~!"

Sayu rolled up the sleeves of her yukata high, locked the target, and carefully lowered the net into the water.

"Ah! Ah~ah."

Although the goldfish swam to the top of the paper net for a moment, it broke through the net and escaped immediately.

"try again."

Looking at the bewildered girl, Kato Yusuke handed over his fishing net, and spoke carefully.

"Remember to stick the side of the net with paper, so that it is not easy to break. When fishing, it is best to put the bowl near the water surface and wait for the fish to be caught. The net should be placed in the water at an angle. If you are afraid of breaking If you only put half of the net in the water, it will break more easily."

"Is that right?"

Sayu tilted her head and saw that the slightly forward squatting posture set off the curve of the body very clearly, like freshly made whipped cream, full of the softness unique to girls.

"Try it according to the method I just said."

"Hmm~!"

The two snuggle together.

slap.

A golden swimming fish jumped up from the water surface, splashed some water droplets reflecting colorful light and shadow, and then sped up and fled towards its companion.

"Sorry, I failed again..."

The girl staring at the hole in the net surface murmured in frustration.

"It doesn't matter, you have done better than before, but that fish is a bit stronger, let's continue." Kato Yusuke shook his head, and then bought two more fishing nets and handed them to the other party.

And this time...

"Ah, ah~ah!"

A red goldfish was swimming slowly in the bowl, and Sayu turned her head with bright eyes.

"Yusuke!"

"Well, you did a good job." Kato Yusuke touched her head encouragingly, "Congratulations, are you still playing with the rest of the net?"

Looking alternately at the goldfish in the bowl and the last fishing net at hand, the girl nodded her head vigorously, and said with a happy smile, "I always feel that one is too lonely, so I want to find another partner for her." ~"

"she?"

"Because the child is very beautiful."

"weirdo."

"Ah, it's too much, it's not surprising!" Sayu puffed up her cheeks angrily when she heard his words, and then continued to fish for goldfish.

Maybe it really got the trick, a black goldfish was also scooped into the bowl, and made a pair with the red one just now, swimming wantonly in the bowl.

"Great, they look very happy too~" the girl said happily.

"I think that looks more like being frightened." Kato Yusuke silently complained.

"Chacha!"

The other party sealed his mouth with his hand, and complained with half anger and half joy: "Yusuke, you are really, idiot, idiot, idiot~"

The two returned the fishing net to the stall owner, and the uncle helped put the two goldfish into the bag, and then gave them a small bag of feed as a gift with a caring smile.

It looked very much like the aunt who came to visit the house when I was a child, and Kato Yusuke felt a little uncomfortable all over, but he nodded along with Sayu and thanked the stall owner for his kindness.

The two carrying the bags continued on their way.

"What should I name them? Yusuke."

"Isn't it meaningful to do this kind of thing yourself?"

"Hey~ But without Yusuke's guidance, I can't get it at all, so we are one and half."

"Then Xiaohong and Xiaohei."

"Ah, so perfunctory."

Sayu poked his face with an unacceptable expression, then raised the bag to his eyes, staring at the two swimming fish inside.

"Hey~"

She whispered a beat away, attracting Kato Yusuke's gaze.

The bright yellow light reflected on her face through the clear and transparent water, making her features more picturesque and lively.Like a slowly unfolding Ukiyo-e, it will be engraved forever.

The girl turned her head to look, with an innocent smile on her face.

"——It's decided. Because the black one is very handsome, it's called Yusuke. Then I ask~~~ What's the name of the other child?"

Saying so, she brought the "microphone" in her hand to Kato Yusuke's mouth, and waited for his answer.

"...You don't give people a choice at all, do you?" Someone scratched his cheek helplessly.

"Please ~ answer ~ answer ~!" Sayu opened her mouth wide and said word by word.

"...Well, then Sayu. No—"

Speaking of this, Kato Yusuke shook his head, and said second best: "This is really too strange, at least change it to look like Xiaoyou and Xiaoyu? Uh..."

After finishing speaking, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue and laughed first, and then added: "Sorry, or Xiaojia and Xiaoyou are also fine."

"Hey~~ Xiaojia and Xiaoyou?"

The girl nodded her head with crooked eyebrows, raised her hand and brushed the loose strands of hair behind her ears, looked at him and said, "Well, I like this name~ just like I like Yusuke."

The surrounding scenery became blurred for a moment, as if all the lights around were gathered towards this place, illuminating the slim figure in the center of the field of vision.

For a while, Kato Yusuke just stared at the girl in front of him intently, then looked away as if nothing had happened, and casually pointed to a booth and said.

"Let's go play that next."

"Ah~ it's air gun shooting. Hmm! I want to see Yusuke play this~!" Sayu said excitedly, and pulled him to walk there quickly.

◇

bang——

The cork was ejected from the muzzle of the gun with the gas, and then hit the wall a few meters away, passing by the products on the counter, which made the boss smile happily.

"Miss..."

"Um, sorry."

"Ah, it's okay, I'll be happy just watching Yusuke play, no need to win prizes for me!"

"Then go get something to eat, the fireworks show is about to start."

Kato Yusuke, who put down the gun, said so, and then he was about to leave with the girl. After all, he came here just to calm his mood, so his desire to win was not very high.

As a result, the boss at the booth suddenly spoke, and the other party said to him in a regretful and persuasive tone: "Hey, hey, this can't work, brother. The handsome guy who won in the game Giving prizes to girlfriends is the romance of a man! At worst, I’ll give you a little bit cheaper, and play two more games, shall we?”

"How much cheaper can it be?" Kato Yusuke suddenly stopped when he heard this.

"Well, if you are willing to play twice, it will be 900 yen." Seeing the fish hooked, the boss smiled happily.

"Wow, it's only 100 yen cheaper, what a stingy uncle." Sayu pouted slightly.

The boss's smile didn't diminish, and he said convincingly: "You can't say that, little girl, a real man has to go through various tests. If I'm too cheap, I won't be able to hone him. .”

"Ah, this is sophistry at all, so cunning."

The boss cast a sly look at Kato Yusuke again, "How about this little brother, create a beautiful summer festival memory for your lovely girlfriend?"

"That kind of thing is unnecessary. Let's go, Yusuke." Sayu said so, while reaching out to pull the people around her.

only……

"... Yusuke?"

"Is there anything you like here? Sayu." Kato Yusuke, who was standing still, asked, and took 900 yen from his wallet and handed it to the boss.

"Huh? Why??"

"what why?"

"Because, Yusuke, aren't you bad at shooting? Is it necessary to accept this aggressive method?"

Facing the girl who was looking at him helplessly, Kato Yusuke, who got ten bullets, showed an inscrutable smile on his face.

"It was just now, and now is now. After all, just like what the boss said, the rare summer festival really should give you some gifts."

"Oh! That's the kind of momentum! Come on, brother!!" The boss on the side slapped his thigh suddenly, and then gave him a thumbs up.

"Well, thank you boss."

Kato Yusuke said so, and then turned his attention to the girl, and smiled softly: "So, which prizes on the cabinet do you like?"

'It's said that you have mistaken the person, obviously the person who should be hot-blooded should be me, right? 'Thinking of this, Sayu couldn't help puffing up her cheeks slightly, and then sighed softly, with a soft smile on her face.

"As long as it is given to me by Yusuke, no matter what it is, I will cherish it."

"learn."

Kato Yusuke raised the corners of his mouth silently, and said with a hearty smile: "Then take one of each."

"Eh?"

An electronic female voice without emotional fluctuations sounded in my head: "The skill that has been exchanged - [shooting (entry level)], 100 points will be deducted.

Remaining points: 770 points. "

……

After a few minutes.

Boom, boom, boom—

Accompanied by three consecutive dull beating sounds in my ears, the crumbling wooden sign with the award written on it finally fell down, making a muffled "boom".

There was a brief silence in the scene.

Immediately after—

"Success, success...!"

"No, it's impossible...!"

A voice of surprise and astonishment sounded at the same time.

Ignoring the words blurted out by the two of them out of surprise, the boy who put down his gun said to the latter: "Then give us the prize, boss."

But the other party didn't seem to hear it, just stared blankly at the "a mess" he had placed on the counter, and kept chanting things like "Ten hits", "The loss is too big, the loss is too big" , "It can still be like this" and the like.

Sayu on the side reminded me with a smile: "Uncle, please exchange prizes for us~"

Then the boss came to his senses, turned his neck stiffly to look at them, and said with a forced smile, "Oh, I know, I got it. Here it is, here it is..."

Saying that, he didn't take any action. Instead, he sized up the handsome young man with a tangled face, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it, only his mouth kept murmuring.

"Is there any problem? Boss." Kato Yusuke, who noticed this scene, asked with a smile.

"This……"

Probably curiosity prevailed, but the stall owner still couldn't help throwing out the doubts in his heart: "Ah~ I didn't expect that my brother is a professional, your last three shots are so good! Uncle, I was taken aback...haha, so strong, so strong."

"After all, the boss's prize is quite heavy."

Yu Kato said pointedly, then shook his head slowly, "As for the profession you mentioned, my level is only entry-level. It was just a fluke to hit the prize, so there is nothing worthy of praise."

"Entry level? Luckily?" Repeating these two words, the stall owner couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Kato Yusuke still affirmed with a calm face: "Well, entry-level, fluke."

Then he added: "Probably thanks to your encouragement, I was able to perform exceptionally well, thank you boss."

"Oh... no, you're welcome." The stall owner responded weakly, his expression becoming mournful.

"Pfft..."

As if feeling amused, Sayu couldn't help shaking his shoulders and sneered, and then urged: "Uncle, aren't our prizes ready yet... Puhaha."

Fang Fang sighed deeply, "Ha...", scratched the back of his head and said, "Understood, it was uncle, I lost, really, I'll get it for you now."

After a while, the two got the following pile of items:
A pair of flip-flops, a hairpin, a fish tank, two masks, and a pink plush bear.

Because two bullets were wasted on the big bear, the final number of prizes in hand is 6 in total.

Hearing the boss' request "don't come here again", the two couldn't help but looked at each other, and then laughed at the same time.

Walking along the way, the stalls on the festival have basically been visited.Deciding to take a break, they came to the stone steps off the main road, and then they waited for the start of the fireworks show.

After putting Sayu and his belongings down, Kato Yusuke turned back to the main road alone to buy food, and asked the girl to stay here and wait for him.

Although the distance between the stone steps of the path and the main road is only a few meters, it seems to be divided into two worlds.One side is brightly lit, the other side is dim moonlight.

Even the noisy human voice seems to be isolated by an invisible dividing line. Sitting alone on the quiet stone steps, a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere permeates.

Just as Sayu holding the fish tank was admiring the two small fish inside, a slender figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the path, and staggered towards it.

Instinctively looking up, a touch of soft pale pink came into view.

Like a weeping cherry blossom quietly blooming in a hidden place.

For a moment, the girl felt as if she really saw the dreamlike cherry blossoms dancing lightly under the night.
