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

Chapter 369 Tokyo from Scratch
Kato Yusuke was very indifferent to the fact that Shiba-senpai was sitting next to her.

He quietly propped his elbows under the window, propped his chin on one hand, and looked out at the gray-white airport with his eyes.

Perhaps it was because he realized that he was about to leave here in a physical sense, and all kinds of messy thoughts surged in his mind uncontrollably.

From Tokyo to Hokkaido, the two who were once inseparable crossed half of Japan together, but they were alone when they returned.

Half a year in Tokyo, one month in Saitama, three days in Asahikawa...and the "past" month.

Many pictures kept popping up in my mind.

Kato Yusuke felt very depressed, but let the thoughts in his brain spread, unwilling to take care of it.

'where are you going……? '

'I'm not going anywhere until you don't need me anymore, don't want to see me anymore, let me go away...but as long as you need me, I'll stay here. '

"I don't want that kind of thing..."

……

'……why? '

'You kind of person!The most --- hate it! ! '

'do you like him?this boy. '

'At least compared to strangers, Izumi-san is more trusted by me! '

The girl's voice still vaguely echoed in her ears.

Kato Yusuke's eyes were dim, and the dazzling sunlight shone in, shattered into his eyes, and turned into nothingness.

Movies are always too kind, reuniting broken mirrors, revisiting old dreams, allowing lost people to meet again, and letting people who haven't loved enough continue to love.

Perhaps it is because there are too many things that cannot be realized in reality that people shed tears for the beauty in the movie.

He immediately put a fist on his forehead with one hand and closed his eyes, unwilling to look at his own shadow reflected on the glass.

Until the plane took off from the ground and soared to an altitude of [-] meters.

He was always silent.

……

It was almost noon when we arrived in Tokyo.

Kato Yusuke first took the airport bus, then transferred to the bus, all the way back to his old apartment.

"...I will go to school tomorrow, please go back, Shiwa-senpai."

"Huh... When facing a girl who came to pick you up from thousands of miles away, the correct way here should be to invite me in and have a drink along the way, right?"

Yusuke shook his head at this, and replied in a hoarse voice: "No, there is no such thing here."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Shi Yu's reaction, he directly opened the door with the key and walked in.

"—Huh? Wait a minute...!" Seeing this, Shi Yu also wanted to follow in, but...

--boom.

The metal door was mercilessly closed, bringing up a chilly air current that messed up the girl's hair. The distance between the door and her face was so close that she would be injured if she just took a step forward.

In other words, when the boy closed the door, he didn't take her into consideration at all.

Shi Yu understood this in an instant, and remained silent on the spot, his eyes dimmed a little.

After a while, she sighed again, and said to the door: "... Then, if you want to talk to someone, just tell me, Kato-san."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left.

In the apartment, Kato Yusuke was standing at the entrance.

"I am back."

He said this instinctively, but of course no one responded.

A strong sense of disobedience invaded.

"..."

He slowly took off his shoes and walked into the living room.

Single bed, work desk, low table on carpet.

Yusuke sat down on the bed, staring blankly at the bright room.

double bed...nope,
Fishbowl and goldfish... gone,
The doll in the corner... gone,
The group photo on the bedside table... gone.

The originally cramped room now looked extremely spacious, and even made people feel at a loss.

It was obviously the room where he had lived for a long time, but now it gave him a feeling that it was not like his own home.

He stood up suddenly from the bed, walked to the balcony, pushed open the glass door, and went outside.

Under the bright sunshine, there were no clothes to dry on the drying rack.

Only the external unit of the air conditioner is still placed in the corner, and the fan blades inside are spinning silently under the breeze.

He turned back to the room again, came to the closet, and opened the closet.

The corner where the girl's folded clothes are usually placed has become empty.

He squatted down blankly, speechless for a long time to his clothes.

Immediately, as if thinking of something, he took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, put it in front of his nose and smelled it.

A faint citrus fragrance floated into the nasal cavity.

"One more thing..." He murmured, his hoarse voice being drawn into the air of the room.

A strong sense of emptiness swept over.

The girl's temperature, smell, voice, embrace, he will lose all of them forever.

Kato Yusuke realized this very clearly.

He just stared blankly at the handkerchief in front of him, first took a deep breath, then let out a sneer, his right hand holding the handkerchief kept shaking.

Sayu's smile kept appearing in his mind.

He sat slumped on the ground, with red eyes and trembling lips, as if he had chopped a piece of flesh from his own body with his own hands, dripping with blood, and his heart was ashes.

that moment,
He who never collapsed in front of Sayu,
Even if he is mentally prepared for all possibilities,
After seeing all the items related to Sayu in the house disappear, I finally couldn't help but collapse...

"why……"

He raised his right hand, rubbed his eyes, and covered his face, not letting go for a long time.

The slovenly face became messy, and the slightly protruding chin gradually became messy, stained with tears and snot.

For a moment, I really wanted to have an accident. I wanted to let go of the great future, the sea, the sunset, the people I wanted to see, and the future I wanted, including his life.

Kato Yusuke wiped his face with his sleeve indiscriminately, stood up staggeringly, walked heavily to the bed, threw the sportswear jacket he had been wearing for a week on the ground, and fell headfirst on the bed.

The physical and mental exhaustion made him not want to think about anything, so he just buried his head in sleep.

……

Time flies by.

At night.

Buzzing——, buzzing——.

The phone vibrated like a groan, emitting a faint reverberation.

Kato Yusuke opened his eyes in a daze, and slowly sat up from the bed.

It was pitch black as far as the eye could see, and the room was filled with a maddening silence, like a deserted corner forgotten by the world.

It took a while to get Chaos' brains going again.

He shook his head, picked up the phone, and opened the flip.

The light from the phone screen illuminated a corner of the room, on which were many missed calls and emails.

He turned off the reminder casually, stretched his feet out of bed, and groped in the darkness with his eyes.

No one woke him up, there was no busy figure in the kitchen, and there was no smell of food in the air.

All I could smell was the bad smell of my body.

gollum...

Hungry groans from the stomach.

Kato Yusuke got out of bed, walked to the wall, and turned on the light in the room.

--Snapped.

A bright yellow light shines overhead, illuminating the room brightly.

He shuffled to the kitchen, reached out to grab the handle of the refrigerator door, and pulled it open with a "squeak".

It was empty inside.

So clean and tidy that there is not even a single natto.

However, because Sayu was responsible for purchasing ingredients in the past, it is reasonable for this situation to occur now.

Moving his slightly dry mouth and closing the refrigerator door, Yusuke Kato wanted to take out his mug from the upper cabinet.

However, when he opened the cabinet door, there was only a transparent glass inside, and the used couple mug disappeared.

He was silent for a while, then reached out to take down the glass, and took a glass of water under the tap with a clatter.

Gulp, gulp, gulp...

Dryness of the mouth and throat is relieved.

Yusuke put the empty glass on the table and made a muffled "dong".

In the maddeningly quiet environment, it is as if a needle dropped to the ground can be clearly heard.

"Let's go out and buy some bentos..." He muttered to himself, picked up the coat that was thrown on the ground, put it on, and walked out.

Accompanied by two "clicks" of the door.

After putting on his shoes, Kato Yusuke left the room, walked down the stairs of the apartment, and walked towards the nearby convenience store.

The time is now 7pm.

Residents who come out for a walk can be seen everywhere on the street, as well as migrant workers returning home from get off work.

In this cool weather, people have become more willing to go for a walk outside.

The noisy atmosphere has a bit of cosiness and peace, which constitutes a small section of beautiful daily life in a happy life.

Yusuke inexplicably felt that the temperature was a little low, not out of physical perception, but a strange feeling from the heart.

He couldn't help but stop, and turned to walk towards the station.

I can't explain why, but I always feel that this kind of weather is very suitable for drinking miso soup.

Although it is not the kind without brewing, but today he wants to do it himself.

With this in mind, Kato Yusuke pulled on his shoes and came to the supermarket near the station.

Cabbage, onion, potato, green onion, wakame,

Miso sauce, a small bag of rice, a small piece of pork and a box of inner fat tofu,
Oolong tea, kimchi, pickled bonito, cup noodles of various flavors,

Pocky, coffee pudding, Calbee potato chips, and other snacks that Sayu loves...

When I came back to my senses, I had already bought a lot of things that I didn't seem to need.

But it doesn't matter, after all, you will get used to it slowly.

Yusuke Kato, who paid the bill, returned to the apartment again with a large bag in his hand.

Under the dim street lights, a middle-aged man was standing by the stairs on the first floor, frowning.

"Mr. Manager."

"Huh? Oh... Brother Kato??" The man turned around with astonishment on his face, "Are you, have you dyed your hair?"

Yusuke nodded, said nothing, and prepared to go upstairs.

However, the other party stopped him suddenly.

"Ah, wait a minute."

"?"

"I'm really sorry, can I trouble you to do me a favor? Brother Kato."

Kato Yusuke paused and asked, "What's the matter?"

The manager explained: "Actually, a tenant on the first floor has moved out, but there are still many abandoned items in the room. Because there will be new tenants coming to see the house tomorrow, can you please help me move the things together?" Management room?"

"it is good."

Yusuke agreed to come down, first went upstairs to put things away, then returned to the first floor, and went to room 101 under the leadership of the manager.

This is a room with a similar layout to his room, with large pieces of furniture such as sofas, TVs, kotatsu, etc. placed in it.

Kato Yusuke understood the reason why he was called here, and he didn't have any thoughts about it, so he asked directly, "Are all these going to be moved?"

"Yes, move everything except the bed. If there is something you can use, you can take it too."

Yusuke shook his head, he was about to refuse, but he paused and asked instead: "Then, can I take this TV with me?"

"—Of course, what's wrong with that?"

The manager nodded cheerfully, and said with a smile: "As long as you don't mind that these things are second-hand. Rather, if you don't want them, it will cost a fortune to find someone to recycle these waste items, so it's no problem at all." .”

Kato Yusuke calmly nodded and thanked, and began to help.

Together, the two moved the remains of these former tenants to the management room.

Amid the manager's thanks, Yusuke also took the slightly older TV home.

When he was cooking rice in the rice cooker, he put the TV on top of the three-drawer cabinet that was originally used to store the fish tank, and turned on the TV after the power was turned on.

As the picture appeared on the screen, the cheerful songs also rang.

"~~~~."

The original owner of the TV seems to be a girl group idol, and the concert of Nogizaka46 is shown on it.

Kato Yusuke didn't respond to this, he just didn't want to make the room too quiet, so he brought this object back.

Use the remote to adjust the volume to a level where you don't feel too noisy, then go to the kitchen and start cooking miso soup.

Take out the pot, fill it with water, and put it on the stove.

Start washing vegetables and processing ingredients during the time of boiling water.

Cut the peeled and cleaned potatoes into cubes, shred the onion, slice the pork, and then prepare the wakame, tofu, and chopped green onion.

After the hot water in the pot was warm, Yusuke put the ingredients into the pot one by one according to the steps the girl had done, and brought a spoon and chopsticks, and began to add miso sauce and stir to dissolve it in it.

Grunt gurgling, gurgling gurgling.

Crack, clack, clack, clack.

~~~,~~~.

The rhythm of the cooking and the vigorous voices of the girls on TV merged together.

Time seems to go back to the past...

After the miso soup was ready, the rice cooker also squeaked, and the electronic sign on it automatically jumped to keep warm.

Kato Yusuke filled miso soup and rice for himself, put the pickled bonito and kimchi that he bought on the table together with the package, and sat down at the low table.

"I'm gonna start now……"

The boy's deep voice echoed in the room.

He picked up the bowl containing miso soup, brought it to his mouth, and took a tentative sip.

'Miso soup, is it good? '

Sayu's voice echoed in his mind, as well as what the two had said the day after they met.

'...delicious is delicious, but why your spoon? '

'Ahaha, because——Yusuke is in a daze, it's really interesting!ah~uh~'

' That's what I used. '

'...do you care?Hee hee, this is an indirect kiss...'

The vision in front of him unconsciously became distorted and blurred.

"Ha ha……"

Kato Yusuke stared at the miso soup in the bowl, and laughed out loud: "...there should be nothing worse than this."

He put down the soup bowl, his chest heaved and heaved, his eyes, which he thought had been dry for a long time, began to feel hot and moist...

Sadness, loneliness, regret...

The suppressed emotions began to emerge again, washing over him like a tide.

His fiery body began to tremble, as if a flame was burning in his chest, and even the breath he exhaled was extremely hot.

He tried his best to get flowers for the girl, and opened a huge hole in his heart.

Kato Yusuke didn't know if this was retribution, or if it was his own fault.

He just smiled nervously and swallowed his dinner whole.

The idol girls on TV kept singing and dancing, as if they were always energetic and tireless, showing energetic smiles.

I do not know how long it has been.

Finished dinner.

Obviously had slept for a long time, but Yusuke felt deeply tired again at this moment.

He staggered to the side of the bed, just fell down and fell asleep...

ps. An extra article asking for a monthly pass (if there are 1000 tickets for this month).

Now I am sorting out the essays and plots that I usually write down, and I will summarize the chronological order by the way. At least in the future, I hope to write other heroines well, instead of becoming a defeated dog.
