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

Chapter 423 The Missing Girl

The next afternoon, it was a cloudy and rainy day.

The dull rain that has been falling since the morning has formed several puddles like traps on the street.

The two presidents of the student council who had finished their work both carried umbrellas, walked to the platform of Toyosaki Station, and took the tram home together after a long absence.

certainly--

This refers to the kind that goes back to each family.

Although the two communicated normally, the girl seemed to have made up her mind not to go to someone's apartment lightly until Akane Benizaka's puzzle was solved.

Under such circumstances.

Even though Yusuke Kato could choose to wait for the next bus to avoid the embarrassing situation he might encounter, but that would be too deliberate, so he just calmly got on the tram with Kei.

As such.

The two will have a brief ride together before arriving at the station near his apartment.

In this rainy weather, even the tram is cool, as if telling the approach of winter.

After entering the compartment, the girl immediately observed the surrounding environment, looking for possible vacant seats.

Unfortunately, due to the dual factors of time and weather, they could not find a vacant seat in the compartment, so they could only choose to stand on the armrest near the door.

Megumi was near the corner between the door and the row of seats, and Kato Yusuke was standing next to her, using his body to isolate the surrounding crowd, creating a fairly comfortable space.

The folded umbrella was placed at the feet, and the raindrops slid down the smooth umbrella surface like dew, trickled down on the ground, and gathered into a small transparent water spot next to the small black leather shoes.

The girl moved her footsteps lightly and stepped on it inadvertently, and the water surface spread out like hydrangeas without anyone knowing, producing many tiny splashes.

The light reflects the water droplets scattered everywhere, reflecting the slender calves outlined by black stockings, the dark blue sailor skirt full of autumnal feeling, and the red ribbon tied on the chest...

And the pink hairpin pinned on top of the lead-black short hair.

Eyebrows like a crescent moon, eyes like a spring, lips like cherry blossoms.

All the beautiful fragments are combined to depict the delicate appearance of a girl like a poem in a clear and shallow way.

It's not competing for flowers and eye-catching, it's just peaceful and quiet.

It is like a weeping cherry blossom quietly blooming in an invisible place.

"Hey, Yusuke?"

Hui gently opened her cherry lips, and asked casually, "Want to listen to music together?"

A slender white hand holds up a single earphone, quietly presenting it in front of his eyes, clearly and clearly sending out an invitation.

Kato Yusuke glanced at the other white earphone worn on her left ear, said a good word, then reached out to pick up the earphone in her hand, and stuffed it into his right ear.

A slender white digital cord bridged the two.

"Do you have any favorite songs?"

"It will be all right."

Hearing this, Megumi looked up at him, and then looked down at the mp3 screen.While choosing the track with his hands, he opened his mouth and replied: "This kind of answer is the most nerve-wracking..."

With the rhythm of the tram, the pink hairpin swayed gently on the temples on the forehead, emphasizing its own existence in the field of vision, making people want to reach out and fix it.

Kato Yusuke's gaze faltered for a while, and he changed his voice and asked, "Then is there a Rie fu song?"

"Which song is it?"

"Life Is Like A Boat."

"Well, there is such a thing, just wait a moment."

"it is good."

The girl gently slid the control button with the thumb of her right hand, and quickly found the corresponding song.

"I found it. It's a very old song. Shall I start playing it?"

"Ah."

Green onion's fingers pressed a little harder, and then pressed the play button in the center with a beep.

"Nobody knows who I really am..."

The female singer's unique voice rang in her ears.

The rhythm of the music is soothing and lazy, with a little sense of calm loneliness, which makes people relax.

bang bang bang~

The tram rides through the rain.

The cloudy sky looks gray, and with the slightly sad lyrics, I always feel that even time has become blurred.

As if tired, Kei leaned his upper body against the metal wall of the carriage, closed his eyes and listened carefully.

Her hands were naturally hanging on her thighs, one leg was straight and the other was slightly bent, and the bent foot pressed the heel of the shoe against the wall.

The whole person presents a natural state of relaxation, exuding a fresh and quiet atmosphere.

The two are immersed in the same song.

Kato Yusuke stared at her, his eyes fell on the long, thick black eyelashes, and a look of bewilderment flashed across his eyes.

Hui, who returned to the student union, became that assistant again, putting away the light on her body, hiding herself behind him, silently giving company and help...

"Speak up, Yusuke."

The girl suddenly raised her long eyelashes, opened her eyes and looked at him, her eyes looked like black grapes soaked in mist.

Kato Yusuke, who was in deep thought, couldn't dodge it, and turned his face and looked away, responding: "...Well, what's wrong?"

"...It's nothing, it's just that my test scores may drop this time, so I just want to tell you this." Hui said softly, her indifferent voice was like the elegant sound of water.

"Which subject is the problem?"

"Well... I think there may be a little bit of it. I'm sorry, but I have troubled you to give me guidance before."

"No, I have something to trouble you too." Kato Yusuke turned his face back, thought for a while and said, "I can continue to help if necessary."

"..."

Hui stared at him for a while, his eyes were somewhere between divine and non-spiritual, then he raised his hand to wrap a strand of hair floating in front of his face, and asked, "Is this the meaning of inviting me to the house?"

"I mean school and outside."

After a pause, Yusuke added: "If you want, you can go to my place."

"That~~~ But Yusuke looks very troubled, do you want me to go or not? To be honest, I am a little worried whether I am causing you trouble."

"I don't think so." Kato Yusuke pursed his lower lip and whispered, "Otherwise I'll take back the spare key."

Bang bang bang bang, the sound of the tram echoed in my ears.

A few beats later.

"...Well~~~Then I'll think about it then." Hui stood up straight as he said this, moved forward a few inches, and faced him face to face, separated by a distance that was about to touch each other's toes.

Then carefully and slowly, he rested his head on his chest.

"...Great, I am very concerned that I will become a trouble, thank you for saying that." The girl murmured, and the tone she played was like a spring breeze blowing past.

The light weight leaned against his chest, and the remaining aroma of shampoo came from the fluffy hair, which faintly floated into Kato Yusuke's nose.

He felt a little itchy and a little restless, so he turned his face away, pretending he didn't know anything.

"Hey, I said... Yusuke."

"...?"

"Do you know anything about why Kasumigaoka Shiyu-senpai didn't come to the student union?"

"..."

Kato Yusuke was silent for a moment, then nodded, but didn't say much.

Kei waited for a while, but never got an answer, so she couldn't help but raised her head from his chest, looked at him and said, "You still...don't tell me anything, Yusuke."

Kato Yusuke's eyes moved slightly, and he opened his lips, thinking about preparing to respond.

At this moment……

— creaking.

As the tram stopped on the track, the door opened with a "chuck".

The crowd who were about to get off at this stop started to walk out.

"..."

"..."

Kato Yusuke raised his hand and took off the earphone from his right ear, returning it to the original owner, "Thank you for the earphone, then I'll go first."

Hui nodded slightly, took a step back, and hummed: "Then see you next week, Yusuke."

"See you next week."

After saying goodbye, Yusuke Kato stepped off the tram, while Kei, who had not yet arrived at the station, stayed on the train.

The door closed again after opening for a moment.

Through a door, the boys and girls looked at each other.

With Megumi waving her hand lightly, the tram began to move slowly, and disappeared in the end of the field of vision after a while.

Kato Yusuke turned around and walked outside the station...

……

Back home under the umbrella, before I could change my shoes, the phone in my pocket vibrated with a "buzz--".

After connecting the phone, Machida Sonoko's anxious voice reached her ears impatiently.

"——Hello?? Is that little brother Kato? Has Xiaoshi contacted you?? We were participating in an event outside, but she disappeared as soon as I didn't pay attention. No matter where I was, I couldn't find anyone! "

At the same time, the phone was filled with the noise of traffic and the sound of pattering rain.

Kato Yusuke couldn't help being stunned for a moment, stopped the movement of taking off his shoes, and responded calmly.

"Sorry, Machida-san, Shiba-senpai hasn't contacted me, where are you now?"

"The Tiewentang Bookstore in Hehe City!"

"When did Shiba-senpai disappear? Did you try to call her?"

"I've been trying to contact her about an hour ago, but the phone is turned off!"

"Didn't you call the police?"

"I tried it, but because the time is too short, the police station is not accepting it. I'm sorry, Xiaoshi has been in a bad mood recently, I should pay more attention!"

Machida Sonoko's voice was panting rapidly, as if she was running around on the street.

"In short, I will continue to look for it. If Xiaoshi contacts you during this period, please let me know as soon as possible! Brother Kato."

The other party paused here, then took a deep breath, and continued: "... If you still can't find it in the end, you have to contact Xiaoshi's family."

"...Understood, if there is any news, I will contact you as soon as possible, Ms. Machida."

"Well! So be it."

beep--

Ended the call.

"Hehe City..." Kato Yusuke murmured solemnly, put the schoolbag on his shoulders on the floor of the corridor, and then muttered in his heart.

'Exchange Tracker. '

[Successfully redeem the tracker, deduct 1000 points. 】

A small black instrument appeared in his hand.

[Tracker: It can accurately locate the specific position of an object, the error is less than 15 meters, and the number of available times is 3. 】

"Follow, Kasumigaoka Shiwa." Kato Yusuke recited to the instrument in his hand.

next second.

With the shaking of a wave of water, a white arrow appeared on the screen.

Kato Yusuke picked up the umbrella again, turned around and pushed the door out.

……

It took an hour and a half.

When he came to Hehe City, it was already evening and the sky was completely dark.

It was also raining in Hehe City, the pattering rain was not too heavy, it was more like fog than rain.

Kato Yusuke, holding an umbrella, walked all the way to the highest hill in Hehe City, and stepped into the observation deck built here.

The sky was gloomy as if it was about to fall.

The world in front of my eyes is blocked in the dense rain.

Looking from a distance, the streets, buildings, and pedestrians are all left with a somewhat blurred outline.

At the fence on the edge of the observation deck, a tall girl was standing there, just looking at the city under the rain, wondering what she was thinking.

Kato Yusuke raised his foot and stepped forward, stretched out the umbrella in his hand to support the opponent's head, placing him under the umbrella, and softly called out: "Senior Shiba."

"..."

face his presence.

Shi Yu didn't seem surprised at all, or hid similar emotions, but turned his face slowly, and said to him in an elusive tone:
"Heh... Although I have fantasized about similar plots, I never thought that you would actually appear in front of my eyes like this. Good evening, Yu-chan."

"..."

Kato Yusuke ignored it, and just looked up and down at this beautiful girl with long black and straight hair.

The girl in front of her was still wearing the school's autumn uniform, and she seemed to have come to Hehe City since she left school.

Also, I don't know how long I've been here.

The uniform on her body, which should have been dry and tidy, has been drenched by rain, which sets off her plump and slim figure.

The skirt full of moisture was clinging to the thighs, and even the toes wrapped in black stockings were soaked, visually creating a delicate and charming effect.

"... Machida-san has been looking for you, senpai."

Kato Yusuke took off his stand-up collar jacket, and put it on the opponent's body, covering the delicate body that made people wonder where to look.

"I know."

Shi Yu acted very submissive, just let him put his coat on his body, but didn't give any explanation on this issue, just stared at him closely.

"Where's my sister's cell phone?"

"Shut down."

"At least let's say hello in advance."

"I'm not an elementary school student who has to carry an alarm when I go out. Besides, I spent both elementary school and junior high school here. I am so familiar with this place that I feel like staying in my own room. Would you even tell others when you are in the room? ?”

The casual sophistry has a strong personal touch.

"You can do whatever you want... Anyway, I'll contact Ms. Machida first, and then I'll take you back."

Kato Yusuke took out his mobile phone and started calling Machida Sonoko, but a cold little hand blocked the phone screen in the next second.

"--before that."

Shi Yu said softly: "After a week of cold war, don't you have anything else to say to me?"

The ethereal voice merged with the sound of rain, echoing quietly in my ears.
