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

Chapter 333 The Only Mission (4k)

Tick, tick, tick.

The annoying sound of the pointer keeps ringing in the room, giving people a clear concept of time.

After leaving the living room, Kato Yusuke returned to Sayu's room.

Without making any movement, he took a chair and sat down beside the bed, staring quietly at the girl on the bed.

The almost plain skin can be broken by blowing, and the slender eyelashes are curled and slightly raised, and accompanied by the hazy moonlight, a faint shadow falls on the face, and there are still traces of water that have not yet dried at the end.

Like the gardenias blooming on the side of the road after the new rain, it is full of lovely and pitiful charm.

As if very insecure, the other party's body was tightly huddled, covered with a quilt, and only the part above the nose was exposed.

The fluffy hair was attached to the slender nose, which swayed slightly from time to time as he breathed.

After a long time, Kato Yusuke let out a silent sigh.

Looking at the peaceful sleeping face mixed with grievance and anxiety, he couldn't help stretching out his hand gently, brushing the hair on his nose with his little finger, and hanging it over his ear.

Move cautiously and slowly.

Even so, the other party suddenly opened his eyes in the next second.

"Yes, I'm sorry...!" Sayu muttered with horror on her face, sat up from the bed suddenly as if she had a nightmare, pushed her feet on the bed, and backed up vigorously.

It was not until he leaned against the corner between the wall and the head of the bed that he finally stopped.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry...!"

"Calm down, Sayu." Kato Yusuke called anxiously, standing up from the chair.

However, it was as if the other party hadn't heard him at all...

"Not me, not me, not me, not me...!"

"Really...it's not me..."

The girl shook her head vigorously, crossed her arms with both hands, and desperately explained to the air.

The anxious words were mixed with rapid panting.

In an instant, a suppressed tension pervaded the room.

Kato Yusuke immediately got up on the bed and hugged her trembling body tightly with his arms.

"Okay, it's okay, it's okay."

While stroking the other person's back, he kept comforting him.

Gradually, Sayu's body stabilized, and she murmured tremblingly: "Yu... Jie...?"

"Well, I'm here, right beside you." Yusuke hugged her tightly again, and his voice became softer.

As if feeling a familiar smell, the opponent's hand slowly climbed up his back and hugged him.

It remained silent for a few minutes.

Sayu's brain gradually recovered from the brink of collapse.

"……sorry."

She sniffed and said, "I seem to be having a nightmare..."

The voice was so soft that it seemed to melt into the air.

"Well, I know, but it's okay."

"..."

Sayu buried her face in his shoulder.

There was another long silence.

Only intermittent breathing, constantly ringing in the silent room.

slap.

There seemed to be a slight weight falling down, and a warmth came from his shoulders.

"...I'm sorry, I really still..."

A suppressed voice that seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of the throat came out of the opponent's mouth.

"...I can't forget about the knot..."

"..."

"And... everyone, don't let me forget..." The girl's body trembled again.

Kato Yusuke responded silently, but patted her on the back slowly.

Then he whispered: "It doesn't matter, one day I will forget it, one day..."

The words were full of prayers, but Sayu shook her head vigorously.

"I can't forget it, and I can't forget it..."

She paused and said, "Because that is, my sin..."

As the voice slowly settled down, Yusuke's pupils shook violently.

He didn't know how to appease the other party, but regretted it immensely.

If the time could go back to two days ago, then he would definitely not choose to take the girl back to Hokkaido, so that the other party would not have to go through these pains.

It's a pity that this kind of thinking is just an unrealistic fantasy after all...

After all, no matter how much she evades, the guilt caused by history will always accompany the girl like a shadow.

Like a scar left on the heart, time may dilute the pain, but it cannot heal the scar.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many soldiers with post-war syndrome in the world.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help clenching his back molars, and his breathing became heavy. He just felt that he didn't know where to vent the depression in his heart.

For quite a while, he couldn't speak.

In the end, he just squeezed out a hoarse voice: "It's not, your fault."

However, that feeling of powerlessness is very clear even to himself.

As if sensing his change, Sayu couldn't help but want to raise his head, but he held his head down, unwilling to let the girl see his expression clearly.

"I'm sorry...it's all my fault for causing Yusuke such pain." Sayu sobbed softly, the hot breath from her mouth and nose penetrated into her skin through her clothes, burning hot.

Kato Yusuke shook his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Go home, we will return to Tokyo tomorrow, and then start our lives again."

Tears slowly accumulated in Sayu's eyes, but as if trying to hold back that feeling, the girl frowned forcefully and murmured:
"Always relying on you all the time, I feel like I'm worthless. But... I can't escape this time."

She stopped at this point, and then continued with a tone as if she had made up her mind.

"I can't leave the trouble to my brother and the others again... And my mother, for the first time, showed me a different side... If she escaped, it would be too despicable."

From these words, Yusuke clearly felt the other party's desire for family affection, which was the only thing he could not give.

Unlike him who is helpless, Sayu, who seems to give up on his family, actually still has a nostalgia for his family in his heart.

It's just that the long-term reality and blows made her have to slowly seal up this feeling. It was not until today after a conversation with her family that she opened a gap...

Just like Pandora's box, although I don't know whether it is good or bad, I can't help but want to see it with my own eyes.

"...What are you going to do?" Kato Yusuke asked silently.

"Although I don't know what to do, I think there is always a way."

The girl took a deep breath to respond, and then asked, "Will you blame me? Yusuke..."

Kato Yusuke was silent for a long time...

"No, if it's your decision..."

A dull voice slowly echoed in the room.

"Woooo..."

Sayu pressed her face against his chest, sobbing and shaking her shoulders.

After crying like this for a long time, she fell asleep in his arms as if exhausted.

Yusuke then carefully supported her shoulders, slowly put her on the bed, and then tucked her in the quilt.

After leaning over and gently pressing a kiss on the girl's forehead, he was about to leave the room without disturbing her rest.

As soon as he got out of bed, before he turned around, a cold little hand tightly grabbed his fingers.

"where are you going……?"

Uneasy words came from Sayu who opened her eyes at some point.

Kato Yusuke shook his head and replied softly, "I'm not going anywhere."

Then he sat down on the chair again, stretched out his other free hand, and held each other's hand with both hands, with a smile on his face.

"Until you don't need me anymore, don't want to see me anymore, let me go far... But as long as you still need me, I will stay here."

The gentle voice slowly floated into the ears, melting into the night.

Staring at those eyes like the night sky, Sayu suddenly bit her lower lip, and murmured with tears shining.

"That kind of thing, I don't want to die..."

The light of the starry sky is reflected in the slightly moist pupils, which is both radiant and pitiful.

Looking at the girl like this, Yusuke nodded his head lightly and said hello.

"Ding, you have started a special mission, please pay attention..."

The electronic female voice without emotional fluctuations slowly sounded in my mind...

……

After Sayu fell asleep, Kato Yusuke came to the living room on the first floor.

At this time, Yi Sa seemed to have returned to his room, and the entire first floor was pitch black.

He didn't choose to turn on the light, but just went to the water dispenser in the dark, poured himself a glass of water, then sat down at the dining table with the water in his hand, and drank it one gulp at a time.

That's a pretty long time.

He kept thinking about many things in his mind, from Tokyo to Hokkaido, from Ogiwara's house to Sayu, from what happened in the past two days... to himself.

The mixed feelings in his heart made his brain extremely clear, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Sayu with a weak voice, Yi Sa with an ambiguous attitude, the mother who has been avoiding him, and the stranger blocking the door with slanderous words.

Faces and words came to mind one by one, and disappeared one after another.

In the end, all that was left was the girl's soft side face full of sorrow and confusion, but still trying to smile.

The last thing that freezes in front of my eyes is the scene in the park.

At the entrance of the blue night, the afterglow of the setting sun extinguished from the girl's eyes...

Thinking of this, an uncomfortable dull feeling surged up from his throat, and he couldn't help raising his glass, trying to suppress this feeling by drinking water.

However, after tilting the cup, I realized that the water in it had been drunk unconsciously.

"..."

thump.

The sound of the deep breath intertwined with the sound of the cup being lowered slowly echoed in the empty darkness.

Wisps of moonlight shone in from the window, casting a silver glow as clean as water in the living room, slightly illuminating his cloudy and uncertain face.

Hesitant, confused, irritable, deep...

As if hesitating about something, the expression on his face was particularly complicated, and his breath fluctuated for a while under the influence of emotions.

As time passed silently.

The boy also slowly returned to calm.

Firmness began to appear on his face bit by bit.

Kato Yusuke looked up to a certain direction on the second floor, staring intently.

His line of sight seemed to penetrate the thick ceiling and landed on the girl.

"No matter what happens, I will protect you..." He muttered to himself, with an extremely gentle smile on his face.

Then he began to meditate in his heart, calling out the mysterious existence in his body, and soon received a response.

A transparent blue interface unfolded in front of his eyes.

Floating on the top layer is a huge pop-up window that almost occupies the entire field of vision. The red frame is full of disturbing taste.

The only mission: [Sayu Ogihara's Redemption (0/1)]

illustrate:? ? ? ? ?
award:? ? ? ? ?
Warning: This task is irreversible, and all consequences arising therefrom shall be borne by the host, please choose carefully! !
Whether to accept: [Yes/No]

Now that the decision has been made, there is no need to hesitate any longer.

Kato Yusuke raised his index finger and pressed down on the [Yes] column.

Circles of ripples spread across the fingertips.

"...Confirm that the host has accepted the mission [Sayu Ogiwara's Redemption], and it will start in ten seconds. Good luck..."

Huge pop-up windows are replaced by countdown interface.

As if to add to his sense of tension, the color of the Arabic numerals is still red.

"You really have a bad taste, System."

As a matter of course, the other party did not give a response, but just silently doing what should be done.

Kato Yusuke leaned his body on the back of the chair and joked: "If you make it so serious, will the world be destroyed?"

Still no response.

"Beep—"

A sharp and ear-piercing hum rang in his ears, causing Kato Yusuke to instinctively raise his hands to cover his ears.

A violent pulling sensation started from the head, as if to tear him apart.

The irresistible feeling distorted his face.

He tried to open his mouth to shout, but as if he was in a vacuum environment, he couldn't make any sound.

Immediately after—

Dots of light began to emerge.

One by one, one by one...

He starts to melt.

First the hair, then the head, then the torso...

Until the last moment, his body completely turned into particles of light.

Countless light particles burst out and scattered in the room, like countless fireflies.

The dimly lit living room was instantly illuminated like daylight.

This situation lasted for about a second.

It seemed that there was a gust of wind blowing, and all the light particles disappeared immediately.

The room also regained its darkness and silence.

Only the lonely water glass on the table silently witnessed this scene.

In the room on the second floor.

Sayu, who fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion, frowned slightly with a pained expression, but did not wake up.

In her sleep, the boy was still the one who was by her side, and the two of them held hands and strolled through the streets and alleys of Tokyo...

It seems that I can live forever without any worries.

"Yusuke..." she murmured, crystal clear tears rolling down her cheeks.

The delicate butterfly flapped its wings, but set off a hurricane on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

The world is still the same.

After a long night, there will be dawn.

And somewhere, Kato Yusuke slowly opened his eyes.
