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

Chapter 326 Night School (4k)

When the scene outside the window appeared in Sayu's eyes, she took a "ah" breath, and her eyes became blurred for a moment.

After a few beats, he slowly opened the door and got out of the car.

Kato Yusuke also followed.

It was nine o'clock in the evening.

Under the bright yellow street lamps, several huge buildings are located in the darkness not far away, like monsters hiding in the night and watching, waiting to be devoured.

——"Asahikawa Sixth High School"

This string of words is clearly written on the door plate on the pillar at the door.

Sayu just stared quietly at the teaching building in the distance, with a particularly obscure expression on his face.

"Okay, then... I'll go there."

"Eh?"

Yi Sa's eyes widened immediately, and he hurriedly asked, "Do you want to go in?"

The girl smiled slightly at this, and replied nonchalantly: "Well, I know how to get in."

Ogiwara Kazusa couldn't help being a little silent, with confusion on his face, he hesitated for a while, then sighed and said: "Understood, don't do dangerous things."

Sayu nodded her head imperceptibly, came to someone, pinched the sleeve of his clothes, "...I'm afraid alone, I want Yusuke to come with me."

"I'll go if you don't tell me." Yusuke said, rubbing her head after hearing this, and then turned his gaze to Ogiwara Kazusa.

"Then let's go."

"Be careful on the road." Yi Sa replied succinctly, "I'll leave Sayu to you."

"I know." Yusuke replied, following the girl along the fence outside the school.

Because there was a surveillance camera at the school gate, the two couldn't enter and exit through the main gate. Instead, they walked towards a certain shortcut under the leadership of Sayu.

Walk around the periphery, all the way to the rear of the teaching building.

"Okay, here we are."

Sayu breathed a sigh of relief, "Great, it hasn't been repaired yet."

Following her gaze, what caught her eyes was the barbed wire fence surrounding the teaching building. There was an obvious big hole in the corner, showing signs of man-made destruction.

"So there are people who play truant in high school?" Kato Yusuke sighed casually, and the girl said "Well, really".

"The hole wasn't that big at first, but it was made bigger and bigger by people who wanted to skip class, so you can get through it with a little squat."

After explaining, Sayu squatted down, took the lead to get through the hole, and then waved to him: "Yusuke, come here soon."

Kato Yusuke followed closely and also got under and entered the school.

Standing up and looking at the teaching building, there is nothing special about it except that it is a little different from the private Toyosaki layout.

However, after thinking that schools across the country should be similar, he immediately put this idea behind him.

"We hacked together."

"It's the second time."

"Eh?"

Looking at the girl who turned her head slightly, Yusuke smiled casually and said, "And that time in Shinjuku."

"what……"

Sayu, who recalled the Fangcun brothers and sisters incident, opened her mouth as if in a daze, and then puffed up her cheeks and said, "Really, I was really super-worried..."

After finishing speaking, he shook his head sighingly, and murmured: "...Although it's only been half a year, I always feel that we have experienced a lot together."

Affected by this sentence, Kato Yusuke's eyes were lost for a moment, and then he shook his head like Sayu, stretched out his hand to hold the girl's hand, and said yes.

The two holding hands raised their feet forward again, strolling through the deserted campus.

On a clear night, the sky is full of stars, like countless silver beads, densely inlaid on the dark night, casting dreamlike light, slightly illuminating the school building.

The beautiful scene makes the eyes that look up inadvertently feel very lingering.

"The stars here are much brighter than those in Tokyo."

When he said that, Sayu immediately looked back, and said in an excited tone: "Yes, the stars here are really beautiful to the point of being annoying."

"It's not a good thing for those who trespass illegally." Yusuke averted his eyes and joked with a smile.

"Hee hee, but I'm still a little excited, right? This kind of thing."

"Where did you come from, a rebellious brat?"

"It's not a brat! After all, Yusuke should call me sister, right?"

"Don't label yourself as a junior, let alone..." Yusuke Kato suddenly smiled meaningfully: "I like it very much when you call Dad."

Sayu's feet froze for a moment, and as the picture from several hours ago emerged in her mind, her cheeks also instantly turned red, and then she lowered her eyes unnaturally, spat at the bad guy, and quietly quickened her pace.

The two walked to the back door of the teaching building together.

He raised his hand to hold the handle of the metal door that was obviously not for students to enter and exit, and then turned it to one side.

boom.

With a sharp metallic sound, the door was opened.

Sayu smiled happily again: "The door lock here has long been broken, and it has been contracted by students who have been skipping classes."

"Don't schools even repair it?"

"Because even if people go out from here during the day, no one comes in at night."

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but feel a little speechless, and at the same time downgraded his security evaluation here again.

But thinking about it again, even if you go to high school, in the final analysis, you are only in the stable countryside, so the slow response of the school to the maintenance of these facilities can make sense.

Enter the building through the metal door.

Apart from the emergency lights, the dimly lit corridor had no other lighting, and the environment was eerily silent.

The pale green light flickered faintly, illuminating the surrounding walls in a miserable green, and formed a strangely shaped shadow on it, giving people a strange psychological hint, which is easy to associate.

The strong contrast is really unimaginable, how lively and energetic the daytime here is.

Being in such an environment, it is not difficult to understand why the "weird stories" and "seven incredibles" that use the school as the stage will emerge so endlessly.

While thinking about this, a warm feeling came from his arms.

Turning around to look, I saw Sayu who hadn't reacted just now, but now hugging his right arm tightly.

"It's the first time I've come to night school, and I'm a little scared."

Sensing the anxiety in her words, Kato Yusuke asked jokingly, "Then do you want me to hug you? My princess."

"...that's fine."

The other party shook his head, pointed forward, and whispered softly, "Let's go there and go upstairs."

The smile on his face subsided, Yusuke hesitated and asked again: "Where do you want to go?"

A brief silence.

"The rooftop." Sayu whispered, her voice trembling slightly.

Kato Yusuke immediately calmed down, and after staying there for a while, he slowly uttered a good word.

Then in line with the girl's rhythm, move forward step by step.

Go up the steps from the corridor at the end and start going up the stairs.

During this period, Sayu's strength in holding his arm was getting stronger and stronger, but he didn't say anything.

Feeling this, Yusuke grabbed her hand with his left hand, then pulled his arm out of the girl's embrace, and put his right arm around her shoulder.

The white moonlight shone in from the window on the landing, shaking their shadows and giving them a cold gaze.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.

The footsteps of the two echoed in the quiet teaching building, with a faint echo.

They didn't say a word until they reached the top of the building.

Just like that, he came to the door leading to the roof in silence.

"arrive."

"it is good……"

Sayu who responded softly let go of his hand and walked to the door.

Click, click.

Of course, the door here is locked.

Before Kato Yusuke can breathe a sigh of relief...

Crackling.

A square window located a little distance from the door was opened.

"really……"

The girl murmured, "The door leading to the roof has been locked since then, but the lock on the window here is broken. Let's go out from here..."

This school... Kato Yusuke sighed inwardly, and turned his gaze to the window.

Just like the dog holes in the iron net outside the teaching building, although the windows here are not big, they are big enough for a person to pass through as long as they are not too fat.

"Do you really want to go?"

He couldn't help asking, Sayu's body paused for a moment, and then nodded his head slightly to express his affirmation.

"Well...then I'll help you."

"……Um."

Yusuke picked her up from behind, and the girl cooperated with his movement, while covering the window frame with her hands, while raising her legs, she slipped through smoothly.

Sayu who was standing outside turned to look at him, said with trembling lips, "Hurry up."

The emergency lights outside the door cast an eerie green light, illuminating her face.

Looking at the face that was obviously enduring something, Kato Yusuke's heart suddenly tugged.

Then he put his hands on the window frame hard, and the whole person immediately followed through.

"Yusuke..."

The girl threw herself into his arms.

"Okay, it's alright."

Holding Sayu who was trembling, he looked around.

In the darkness, the emergency light at the entrance is the only lighting, but it can only illuminate a small area by the door, and the rest of the place is completely dark.

Only after his eyesight adapted for a while, Kato Yusuke could see the surrounding environment clearly.

The roof is no different from ordinary buildings, the only thing that attracts attention is the fence that surrounds the entire roof.

Not only is it taller than two people, but even the top is designed to bend inward, like a birdcage, but it’s not capped.

Apparently, the fences were designed like this on purpose so that no one could climb out.

But looking at these, Kato Yusuke felt a wave of anger in his heart.

Judging from the previous incidents of dog holes, door locks, and window locks, the school management of this school is by no means the kind of behavior style that will prevent erroneous things from happening.

Then the reason why the fence appears here can only be the product of the remedy brought about by "that incident", which is full of the irony of mending the past.

While thinking about these things, the girl's words sounded in her arms.

"...Can you take me...over there?"

Sayu said so with her head buried in his chest, as if she didn't have the courage to turn around and face the rooftop.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Kato Yusuke nodded heavily, picked her up horizontally, and then walked towards the center of the rooftop.

"……thanks."

The girl murmured, holding onto his clothes tightly with both hands, as if grasping a life-saving straw.

"Don't say stupid things."

The distance of a few steps came in a blink of an eye, but he couldn't say the word "arrived".

And Sayu also seemed to realize something, her breathing quickened a lot, her slender body tensed up, like fear, like nervousness.

Then he took a deep breath.

"Huh...let me down."

Kato Yusuke responded silently, but hugged her even harder.

"It's... all right."

"I'm ready," she said.

The firmness in the words made Yusuke hesitate, and finally let her go.

Under his gaze, Sha first took a deep breath, then slowly raised his head and looked outside.

A gust of violent wind suddenly blew between them, blowing the girl's hair and skirt, and flying chaotically in the air, making a rustling sound.

With the picture not far away coming into the eyes...

Sayu's body visibly trembled, but she was immediately pressed down again.

Taking another deep breath, I began to move my legs.

She just walked towards the fence step by step, and Kato Yusuke followed closely behind, just in case.

The distance between the two of them and the fence gradually narrowed, and they walked closer.

"Bang Dang" sounded.

Sayu grabbed onto the fence with both hands, and then collapsed on the ground as if suddenly losing strength.

Before Kato Yusuke reached out to pick it up, a word came to his ears.

"...this fence... would have been better if it had been put in sooner."

Then came the suppressed weeping.

As if cast a holding spell, Yusuke's hand paused in mid-air, then came to the other side and squatted down, gently stroking her back with the palm of his hand.

"It's all my fault... for failing to understand Yuzi's mood."

Intermittent words kept ringing in my ears, mixed with a strong nasal voice.

"I mistakenly thought that the struggle was right, so I drove her to a dead end..."

"Kieko's death is... because of me."

"Woo... If I could be more, to Kyu..."

Tears pooled in his eyes and dripped down to the ground.

Looking at Sayu with a painful face, Kato Yusuke gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "It's not your fault, you are all victims."

"It's not like this... It's me... I didn't take good care of that child, I failed to protect her...!"

"It's not you who's wrong, it's those bullies..."

"This bullying is also because of me——!"

The girl let out a loud voice like a roar, and interrupted him.

"Obviously it's the first friend in my life, but...!"

Sayu shook her head vigorously and screamed.

"Why, can't you survive with me...!"

Weeping uncontrollably, she bent her body deeply, covered her chest with her hands as if she was suffering from colic, and then began to cry loudly.

Even Kato Yusuke wanted to reach out to touch her, but she shook her head violently and refused, just standing alone, immersed in a sad river.

"Knot... woo..."

Sayu whimpered and lowered her head, as if she was making atonement, she kept calling to the edge of the empty rooftop.

Emotions called self-blame and guilt were like invisible shackles, wrapped around her body, binding her tightly to the past...

Can't move, can't breathe, can't escape.

Kato Yusuke's lips kept murmuring, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

Facing Sayu who was crying hoarsely, his brain seemed to be covered with a thick layer of fog, and he was still unable to organize appropriate words.

I just feel that the words "a person cannot be resurrected after death" and "sorrow and resignation" are also very pale and weak, and it may also be an insult to the person concerned.

Don't persuade others to be kind to others without suffering.

Then, there is only one thing that can be done.

Be her harbor, protect her, shelter her, block everything for her...

If Ogiwara Sayu can't do something, let Kato Yusuke do it...

Although I don't know if this will be effective, this is Yusuke's true thoughts at this moment.

Following instinct, he stretched out his hand and hugged the girl tightly into his arms.

Regardless of the opponent's movement to shake off his arm.

With the same strength as if you want to rub it into your body, hug her hard.

"It's ok."

He said tremblingly: "If you can't forgive yourself, let me forgive you..."

"woo woo woo woo……"

Sayu, who was unable to struggle, moaned and cried in his chest, and the tears mixed with snot quickly soaked his clothes.

Little by little, the crying started to get louder.

Under the starry sky, the girl was crying like a child.

Faced with all this, Kato Yusuke just hugged her tightly again until she stopped crying, and the two of them just hugged each other tightly.

……

　Thanks to [Yoko Asanuma] for the reward.
