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

Chapter 311 Little Storm (4K)

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Kato Yusuke came to the convenience store.

"Welcome... what, it's Kato Tsai." Mami, who was wearing a formulaic and bright smile, immediately became casual when she saw the visitor.

"Good afternoon, aren't you busy right now?"

After Yusuke said this, Mami spread her hands to both sides.

"As you can see, there are still more employees than customers, but it will probably get busy after a while."

"Where's Sayu?"

"Change clothes inside, you should come out soon."

"so."

Kato Yusuke responded, looked around the store, and then nodded to Mami.

"Then I'll wait for her outside."

"There's no need to do that on purpose, right? Anyway, there aren't any guests right now, so why don't you just wait inside?" the other party asked strangely.

The voice just fell...

Jingle bell jingle bell

Accompanied by the light prompt sound.

Several male high school students in Western-style uniforms walked in outside the door, and they walked towards the refrigerator, talking and laughing, apparently preparing to buy drinks.

see.

"Ah, welcome~~ Please come if you've decided." Mami smiled and greeted Yusuke with a friendly expression, and gave Yusuke a sorry look.

Kato Yusuke didn't care about this, but he couldn't stay any longer, so he walked out with his shoulder schoolbag on his back.

Come to the railing outside the door of the convenience store and wait.

Not long after, the sound of the switch opening and light footsteps came from behind.

Then came a familiar voice...

"Sorry, did you wait so long?"

"No, I just arrived not long ago."

Kato Yusuke turned his head to look while talking, and saw Sayu who was carrying a tote bag walking towards him quickly.

"They say there's no need to pick me up specially. Is the school thing okay?"

"Leave that aside, what you said on Line, did it happen later?" Yusuke's eyes were quite serious.

He didn't talk too much about unimportant things, and asked straight to the point about the strange things that the girl encountered a few hours ago.

"Well, you mean the car hovering near our shop? I've been paying attention afterwards, but that car hasn't appeared since I left."

Sayu, who heard his serious tone, recalled, and put his hand in his hand naturally, and then added with a smile:
"Maybe it's really like what Auntie Hourly said, maybe the other party just happened to be doing something around here? So Yusuke doesn't need to worry so much."

Kato Yusuke couldn't help frowning, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "About this matter, have you asked Auntie about the things I asked you to ask?"

"Well, I asked." The girl nodded her head obediently, with a silly smile on her face.

The two did not choose to go home directly, but communicated on the spot.

"—Anyway, my aunt said that the car only appeared in the last few days, and it usually leaves around ten o'clock in the morning, or around noon.

But occasionally there may be times when you are busy with work and you don't notice it, so you can't be sure about the pattern. "

"...Are you sure that they never came to the store to buy anything?" Kato Yusuke asked while thinking.

"Well, that's what my aunt said."

"Didn't you see the people in the car when you and Mami went to work?"

"Hmm... I don't think there is such a thing." Sayu tilted her head and thought for a while, then slowly shook her head.

"Can you be sure?"

"It's ok. After all, those people look fierce and conspicuous. If you have seen them, you will definitely have an impression."

"Does your store manager know about this?"

"Hey, do you want to tell the store manager?" Sayu couldn't help blinking.

Kato Yusuke cast his eyes on her face and nodded slightly.

"If you think about it normally, the other party will stop near your store, so you should ask the person in charge for something, right? However, he never came to the store once abnormally, so it's okay to ask the store manager to pay attention."

"Although this is the case, is it possible that the car owner may also have other destinations, just because this store happens to be in the right place, so they park here as a relay location?"

Facing the hypothesis put forward by the girl, Yusuke slowly shook his head.

"If that's the case, at least it will be parked in the parking lot instead of on the side of the road. If the owner of that car really has some purpose, the store manager can also come forward and call the police to investigate."

"The police..." Sayu murmured in a low voice, silently hugged his arm tightly, and fell into silence.

Knowing what she was worried about, Yusuke Kato pulled her into his arms, let the girl's head rest on his chest, and gently stroked the hair on the back of the other's head with his palm.

"After telling the store manager about this matter, you should ask for leave in the near future, and wait until the matter is resolved... Or it doesn't matter if you quit your job altogether. You don't need to work now, do you?"

"Eh--?"

Hearing this, Sayu couldn't help looking up at him, then lowered her head and leaned on his shoulder, and murmured in a weak voice: "...Yusuke, do you want me to do that?"

The girl's slender arms slowly moved from his waist to his shoulder blades, grabbing the clothes unconsciously.

"Don't you want to?" Kato Yusuke asked softly.

"I don't know..." Sayu whispered, her voice was very soft and slow, mixed with many subtle breathing sounds, which sounded a bit illusory.

Feeling this strange feeling, Yusuke relaxed his hand movements, and said silently: "Although I don't deny that I have such thoughts, I will respect your decision. What do you want to do?"

For quite a while, the girl didn't speak, but silently hugged him tighter, as if she was about to hold onto something tightly.

Many thoughts could not help flooding Sayu's mind at this moment.

From the family, to myself, to Kato Yusuke... to the future of the two.

Inexplicably, she thought of the girl named Megumi Kato, and the night when the three met for the first time at the summer festival, when the fireworks were gorgeous...

A never-before-seen feeling surged up from my heart, and finally turned into a sentence.

"I think, maybe we think too much, maybe..."

The voice was still confused at first, but gradually became firmer.

"Because - I have been avoiding, but if this continues, I will probably never be able to face the society, so at least this time, I hope that I can no longer escape."

Sayu raised her head and said, "It's just to make preparations for me to have the courage to face my own affairs. I want to stay in the store and continue working."

Those amber eyes were full of seriousness, expressing his attitude clearly.

Kato Yusuke was silent for a while, and then said: "...Understood, then do it according to your own ideas, but pay attention to protecting your own safety, I will come to pick you up from get off work soon."

"Well, I see." Sayu nodded her head lightly, hugged his body again, and murmured: "Thank you for supporting my willfulness."

"It's not capricious."

"……Eh?"

Yusuke lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "I don't think this is self-willedness, but growth."

After a pause, he continued: "Also, after I finish the game over there, let's go back together, Hokkaido."

"—!"

The sudden mention of the location made Sayu's brain instinctively blank, and then he raised his head in an instant, staring straight at the boy in front of him.

"Hokkaido……"

Her mouth was humming, and she was speechless for a while.

Kato Yusuke nodded affirmatively, "Well, Hokkaido. I should be able to deal with your family by then. Would you like to go with me?"

A brief blank.

Sayu seemed to have recovered, and nodded her head vigorously.

"Hmm! I would like to...!"

Firm words lingered between the two.

Kato Yusuke smiled with satisfaction.

……

◇

As Yusuke Kato said.

In the next few days, he would go to the convenience store to pick up Sayu to and from get off work, and always pay attention to the situation around the girl.

Sometimes it's with Asami, sometimes it's just the two of them.

It's just beyond their expectations...

The black Mercedes seemed to have disappeared, and it never appeared near the convenience store again.

It seems to be mocking the ridiculousness of a few people who are suspicious.

And because of this, Sayu didn't have the opportunity to tell the store manager about it, and even briefly mentioned it to Mami without saying anything.

Considering the identity of the other candidate, this is also human nature.

During this period, the frequency of Mami's visits to the house also increased. Basically, she came to their place every day with reference books on her back, and used Yusuke's newly bought desk to study hard, as if she had a feeling of settling here. look.

face this situation.

Kato Yusuke didn't say much, except for a few questions from Mami because of the magical effect of the bottle of beauty cream, he didn't encounter any special things.

The days passed slowly in a tepid situation.

Things in the school are also carried out in an orderly manner.

With the new student union accountant Shiwa and the student union secretary Ying Lili, the work efficiency of the student union has also improved a little amid constant friction, and it seems that there is still a lot of room for improvement.

The reason for the friction was that the two women had a conflict because of the position of secretary.

Shiwa and Eiriri, who didn't want to lose to each other, had a dispute over who should be the secretary when the vice president of the student council was already in office.

At first it was decided by lottery—Eriri as the accountant and Shiwa as the secretary.

However, when Yusuke Kato discovered that a certain young lady had made many mistakes in the calculation of the activities of various associations, and this affected the work efficiency instead, she had to come forward and make certain adjustments.

In the end, after owed a favor to a certain writer, the situation of the student union finally stabilized, forming a star group in the private Toyosaki school.

[Student Council President]: Yusuke Kato
[Vice President of the Student Union]: Megumi Kato

[Student Council Secretary]: Sawamura Eriri

[Student Union Accountant]: Xiazhiqiu Shiyu

In addition, there is also An Yilun who volunteered to do odd jobs...

And after a few days.

The game planning of "Clannad" has also made some progress.

School is over on Friday.

Everyone gathered in the student union room to communicate again.

……

"Clannad" Game Proposal (First Edition)
[Actor]: Tomoya Okazaki (17 years old)
A bad boy who lost his mother when he was young.

Due to an arm injury in a fight with his father, he had to give up his favorite basketball, and he has since resigned himself to depravity.

【Heroine (18)】: Nagisa Furukawa ([-] years old)
Frail and sickly, repeated a year.

Naturally dull, introverted, and sincere to everyone.

I like acting and hope to rebuild the drama department, but I have no experience in acting.

【Plot Summary】:
Nagisa, who was on the verge of death when he was young, miraculously survived because of the small town, and has been connected with this land ever since.

Because of illness and re-reading for a year, on a certain spring day, I ran into Okazaki Tomoya on a slope full of cherry blossoms.

Nagisa, who lacks self-confidence, is often easily ignored by those around him. In addition, he has been absent from school for a long time, so he has no friends in school.

After getting acquainted with Tomoya Okazaki, I gained courage from the other party's encouragement, gradually became confident and cheerful, and gained many friends.

When he learned that Nagisa wanted to rebuild the drama department, Okazaki Tomo also decided to help.

With the joint efforts of the two, Nagisa's dream came true, and the drama department's performance was successfully staged at the school festival.

After the school festival, the two formally dated, but Nagisa fell ill again, causing Okazaki Tomoya to graduate alone.

After work, Tomoya Okazaki and Nagisa lived together smoothly, and Nagisa re-entered the third year of high school again, but because of the continued deterioration of his health, he couldn't even attend the graduation ceremony.

After marriage, Nagisa became pregnant smoothly, but died in childbirth due to the decline of the town, leaving her daughter Okazaki Shio for Okazaki Tomoya.

……

"... So, here's the first draft of the plot outline. Though it's only the first heroine, do you have any questions?"

Shi Yu said so while rubbing her red and swollen eyes, and put the whole stack of papers with clips on the coffee table.

"What's the problem... I thought that Xia Shizi could only write tangled love stories."

Accompanied by this line, after reading the outline, Ying Lili sighed in both admiration and dumbfounded.

"Do you think it's correct to have that stereotype of me as a writer who has only published one work, Mr. Eri Kashiwagi?"

Ying Lili was speechless immediately, and An Yilun who was also holding an outline suddenly asked:

"By the way, Yinglili, so you have read "Love Metronome"?"

"Huh? I haven't read it! It's just a random impression from my impression!"

"Well, whether you are a reader or a creator, your speech sucks..."

And Shiyu ruthlessly exposed Yinglili's lies, only to hear her laugh complacently.

"Let's just say this to Ethics. In fact, we all know that you cried until your eyes were red and swollen because of reading my novel, didn't you?"

"What—? There is such a thing, Yinglili? Why are you keeping it from me!"

"...you're so loud, idiot Lunya!"

Ying Lili, who became angry from embarrassment, vented her anger on her ignorant childhood sweetheart.

And Shi Yu took the opportunity to come to someone's side, and sat down next to him without any trace.

"What do you think, Kato-san?"

Yusuke, who was called by his name, raised his gaze from the outline in his hand, and turned his gaze to her...
