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

Chapter 262
Kamisato Town in Saitama Prefecture.

Although this is still Saitama Prefecture, it is located at the farthest frontier.After a short walk, you can reach the neighboring Gunma County.Although it is not super rural in Saitama Prefecture, it is surrounded by farmland.

Hardly any decent entertainment.

But even such backcountry has its beautiful side.

For example, the verdant paddy fields covered by water, such as the rolling peaks surrounding the fields.

Under the boundless blue sky, the wires extending from the small iron towers are connected straight to the distance, as if telling that this is the end of the town.

Stepping off the bus with almost no other passengers, the first thing you feel is the fresh air that is different from Tokyo.

Although this rhetoric is very old-fashioned, Sayu couldn't think of a more appropriate adjective for a while, because the air here is really fresh and refreshing, and it also has a scent of grass and trees.

Let everyone who comes here from the city subconsciously feel refreshed and open-minded.

"Wow~~!"

The sky I looked up to inadvertently was very broad, so blue that it seemed like it was about to fall downwards, the gauze-like clouds were floating freely, and the golden sun showed its face behind the clouds.

Every time there is a breeze, the emerald green rice sea will sway with the wind, and water striders can be seen swimming leisurely in the fields, as if they are also dancing to the singing of cicadas.

"It's so beautiful!!"

Can't help but exclaimed, the girl turned around quickly, "Is this the place where Yusuke grew up?"

"Well, although it's a place with nothing but rice fields, I hope you like it." Kato Yusuke, who got off the bus slowly, responded with a bag full of bags on his back.

"Ah, I'm sorry, is it heavy? I'll help too."

Seeing this scene, Sayu hurried forward, wanting to share some beautifully wrapped paper bags from him, but was stopped by him who shook his head.

"This weight is nothing."

Kato Yusuke, who identified the direction, said: "And there is still a long way to go, so I will take it."

Hum rumbling.

The bus that had completed its mission turned back along the original road it had come from. The sudden muffled sound made several crows parked on the wires scream in alarm, and flew towards the distant mountain.

Stepping on the ground under his feet, he waved his hand to fan the acrid exhaust from the bus.

Kato Yusuke stared at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery presented in front of his eyes, his eyes slightly dazed.

Then he shook his head slowly, ready to move forward.

It's just that the beautiful figure has always stopped in front of him, and the expression on his face is a bit tangled.

"What's the matter?" Feeling puzzled, he cast a questioning look.

The girl murmured "Hmm..." and then smiled wryly, "That's it, Yusuke. You said that an elder would pick you up at the old house later, right?"

"Well, that's right. Any questions?"

"Well, that's the problem. Although I am very grateful that you have been taking care of me like this, if the other party sees you taking so many things, but I have nothing..."

Hearing this, Kato Yusuke immediately understood the problem, and smiled knowingly: "Then I'll share a part with you when we get here, so that's all right?"

"Eh~~~? Wouldn't that be the same as cheating? It feels so annoying." Sayu said sullenly, obviously not accepting this kind of plan.

Then he muttered again: "Obviously as long as you give me some now, Yusuke's desire to protect is too strong."

Looking at the pair of eyes that did not forget to secretly look at him when he was speaking, Kato Yusuke couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth slightly, and his expression softened.

"Okay, since you want it so much, take some, although I don't think that person should care about such small things." Saying this, he picked out two paper bags containing wagashi. handed over.

"Then I'll give you these two souvenirs, and you will give them to the other party when we meet later. Are you satisfied?"

"Oh~~~!"

Smiling, Sayu nodded vigorously, and said confidently, "Leave it to me~!"

The two then took a step forward and walked towards the front of the road.

◇

After walking for about 15 minutes, an old house with a tiled roof that was presumably built in the late Showa period came into view.

The word Kato was vaguely printed on the old wooden door plate.

And a middle-aged woman wearing home-style bright-colored short-sleeves and white cropped trousers folded her hands in front of her lower abdomen and was looking at this place gently.

She is not tall, and she looks about forty years old. Her long hair, which is casually pulled behind her head, looks a little frizzy, with some silver hair mixed in, giving people a simple and neat feeling.

"Xiaoyou—"

The other party waved his hand, and the mature voice spoke very gently.

"Ah, yes! You... hello!"

Sayu who heard the other party's call immediately trotted forward, then bowed and said: "It's the first time we meet, I'm Sayu Ogihara, please accept this if you don't mind!"

"...?"

The woman who saw this scene first showed doubts, and then seemed to think of something, a thick surprise bloomed on her slightly thin face, and then took two steps forward to hold Sayu's hand, and said:
"That's right! So you are Xiaoyou's girlfriend, that little Sayu? I'm sorry I didn't recognize you just now, you are welcome to be a guest."

It was also because of this that Sayu realized that the other party was not actually calling him, and then hurriedly put on a smile to respond: "Ah, no, it's completely fine, please don't apologize, I misunderstood myself... I'm sorry for the sudden arrival The family bothered, did I bother you?"

"? Huh? It didn't bother me at all."

The woman smiled kindly: "Because this is Xiaoyou's home, and I just helped clean the house a little bit."

While the two were talking, Yusuke Kato from behind also came up and joined the conversation.

"You're doing this kind of thing again, Auntie Mina. We should just leave it to us to clean up, and we shouldn't bother you."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I usually only come to clean when I'm not busy, so it's not troublesome to do it at all. It's rare for you to come back once, and it would be too hard to clean up as soon as you come back."

"Have you been doing this kind of thing all the time??"

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but said in astonishment: "Obviously no one lives there, why don't you just leave it there?"

"Really, what silly things are you talking about, kid?"

The middle-aged woman named Mina patted him on the head reproachfully, "Let's not talk about the sanitary condition, if you leave the house vacant for too long, even the family's luck will slip away."

"...Even so, you can actually consider renting it out to subsidize your family." Kato Yusuke said with a wry smile.

But the other party continued to respond in an unchanging gentle tone: "After all, this is the place where Xiaoyou grew up. How could I do that kind of thing. Besides, how could anyone come here to rent a house on purpose?"

Seemingly amused, she burst out laughing after saying that.Kato Yusuke, who made unrealistic remarks because of his quick talk, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

At the same time, Sayu, who took all this into his eyes, had a thought of "so Yusuke will have such a time", so he couldn't help but raised the corners of his mouth and laughed out loud.

In order to let this embarrassing scene pass as soon as possible.

Kato Yusuke, who cleared his throat, decisively changed the subject, and said very bluntly.

"Sayu, let me introduce. This is Aunt Motoyama Mina, who has always taken care of me and is also my current guardian. Aunt Mina, she is Sayu Ogiwara that I mentioned to you earlier, and she is also my daughter. friend."

Motoyama Mina nodded with a smile, and cast her eyes on the girl in front of her, "Well... Anyway, since you are Xiaoyu's girlfriend, I'll call you Xiaosayu, is that okay?"

"Ah, good! That's good!"

Perhaps feeling the intimacy of the other party, Sayu, who was still a little nervous, relaxed at this time, with a sincere and tender smile on her face, and said: "Thank you ~ Aunt Mina."

"You don't need to be polite, and there is Xiaoyou...here."

Mina Motoyama called Kato Yusuke to his side, then took out a silver key from his pants pocket and put it in his hand.

"This is the key you left with me before you left. Let's go in with Xiao Sayu. It's almost time for me to go back. Come to my place for dinner in the evening."

After speaking, he turned and left, leaving space for the two of them.

Insert the key into the lock and turn it slightly.

With a "click" the door opened.

The scene inside the house slowly appeared in front of their eyes.
