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

Chapter 473 The Intentions Finally Conveyed

After that, the two chatted about the experience of teaching outside the school.

"... On the afternoon of the first day of off-campus teaching, there was a mountain climbing activity. We originally formed a team together at the beginning, but Yamaguchi and Takei were very playful. They were immersed in the fun of cosplaying with branches, and the team dispersed later."

"Ah."

"For some reason, Ying Lili suddenly developed a fever during the mountain climbing, so I sent her back to the camp, and Hui will take care of her later."

"Ah."

Yusuke Kato organizes his experiences into verbal dictation.

Shi Yu listened quietly, nodding and humming in response from time to time.

Those echoes have different emotions, but they don't insert extra words, just focus on listening.

"When we had a picnic the next day, we had to collect ingredients by ourselves. I met Xiao Jianao by accident and caught a lot of fish together. With the wild vegetables and mushrooms collected by the students, the cooking team made a very delicious mushroom hot pot, which was served in a lunch box. The cooked rice is also delicious."

"Ah."

"There is a wooden dining table and a pair of benches near the cooking area. You can sit there and enjoy the scenery while eating. The golden and red maple leaves are scattered all over the ground, which is very autumnal."

"Ah."

"There is a large bathhouse in the main building where boys and girls are staying. The bathing time of boys and girls will be staggered, and then they will be used in groups. If you exceed the prescribed usage time, you can only use the small bathroom in the management building at the risk of being lectured by the teacher. "

"Ah."

"After that, I went to Xiao Jianai's appointment. We drank black tea together on the rooftop and spent a while."

"..."

"On the third day, the Kato team went to prepare the bonfire together. Hui showed me the photo you sent her, senior sister. We all participated in the barbecue party and group folk dance together at night."

"Ah."

"The last day is the return trip..."

Kato Yusuke stopped at this point, opened and closed his mouth several times, his volume unconsciously lowered a few degrees, while suppressing his ups and downs, he continued as if nothing had happened.

"... On the day of the return journey, the bus stopped in the service area. We bought some local specialties, and then ended the off-campus teaching. That's basically it."

For a short time after the voice settled, the room remained silent.

The girl held the mug in both hands, took a sip of the cold coffee, and then let out a shallow breath.

"Sure enough—" Shi Yu lowered the corners of her eyes slightly, and said softly: "I hate myself who can't make an appearance on this occasion."

Kato Yusuke looked at her face, pondering the true meaning of her words.

Shi Yu first showed some fierce eyes, and then smiled a little sadly for some reason.

"Can I ask questions?"

"Ah."

Kato Yusuke nodded like she was listening just now, expressing affirmation, and made a frank decision in his heart.

A slender little finger immediately stood up.

"First of all, have you developed a romantic relationship with another Kato-san that is more than a friend?"

There were many people with the surname Kato, including a boy in the class, but he didn't use this to pretend to be stupid or change the subject, which would be tantamount to insulting the girl in front of him.

He was silent for a moment, and then answered truthfully.

"No."

If there is a faint sound of soothing breathing, it is also like the sound of wind blowing into the room unintentionally.

Next to the little finger, the delicate and delicate ring finger stood up.

"Secondly, have you eaten Mr. Hasumi?"

Not interrogative sentences, but declarative sentences.

"Ah."

Shi Yu took another sip of coffee, gave him a somewhat elusive look, and then stretched out her slender middle finger.

"...Finally, in the past few days, have you thought about me or anything related to me, even once."

"Have."

Kato Yusuke nodded cautiously.

"yes……"

The girl muttered to herself, retracted all three fingers, and remained silent for a while.

after awhile.

"To be honest, I hate myself who can't appear on this occasion." Shi Yu repeated it self-deprecatingly.

Why was she born earlier than him.

Why can't she be his classmate?

Such thoughts kept appearing in his mind, growing wantonly like vines, occupying his brain.

As long as she holds that ticket, she can become a character on stage.

Like Megumi Kato, who is by his side every day, spending time in and out of school together, or like Eri Sawamura, who can appear by his side during group activities and dance folk dances together.

——But she doesn't even have the qualifications to make these choices.

Envy, jealousy and hatred are mixed together, making the heart ugly and muddy.

It's great to be a classmate, Shiyu couldn't help thinking this way.

As a senior, she had much fewer opportunities to get along with him in school.

Even if they are placed outside the school, it is difficult for two people who each have a job to get together often.

On this basis, the couple relationship is what she is eager to create, and the only ticket that is closest to him.

She longed to be his only, to be his special, but she was still unable to do so.

Some are just a false relationship that is placed on the throne of "girlfriend".

However, as he said in a private meeting with Megumi Kato that day:

——This was already the closest place she could get to him.

On this stage, everyone is putting the spotlight on themselves, shouting that I am here, asserting their own existence.

They each draw up a happy ending in their hearts and live in their own stories.

Even at this moment, it must be the same.

'If I could have known you sooner...'

I couldn't help feeling sad in my heart, but my face remained as lazy as usual.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Yu spoke again.

"Also, the part about the return journey just mentioned is a bit vague, and Yu-chan, your condition today seems not quite right.

I thought you were frightened by that kiss, but now it seems that it's more than that... So did you encounter something? "

Facing the question she raised, Kato Yusuke's eyes flickered for a moment, then fell silent again, and unconsciously said no.

"yes……"

Shi Yu closed her eyes halfway, looked closely at his face, as if trying to figure out his thoughts, then turned her head slightly.

"In this way, it seems to be related to other people or the opposite sex, right? Neither Kato-san, nor that Sawamura... Is it Shinjo and Hasumi-sensei? It doesn't seem right, I don't believe they can make you shake like this point."

The sharp eyes stared at him, easily penetrated his heart, and saw the truth that he was trying to bury.

Kato Yusuke moved his lips, but remained silent.

In fact, due to the large number of witnesses, the conflict in the service area cannot be buried at all. As long as Shiyu is willing to inquire, she will know what happened immediately.

Even so, he chose to tell a simple lie.

Seeing that he remained silent, Shiyu moved to his side, put her hands on the ground, and peeked at his face from a lower angle.

Kato Yusuke twitched the corners of his mouth and forced a smile at her, "What's the matter, is there something on my face?"

Shi Yu pondered, staring at him intently, until he saw his expression stiff, and then smiled meaningfully.

"Sure enough, I've felt that way since before, Yu-chan's eyes are beautiful. There's nothing on your face, but..."

After a pause, she said, "—I'm in your eyes."

The familiar style made Kato Yusuke feel relieved, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the girl continued talking.

"So, are you willing to tell big sister, what happened today, is it related to the secret of Hokkaido?"

"—!"

"After all, your vacillation does not seem to be fake, but ah, I have been watching you. Although you concealed it well, the feeling radiating from your body is exactly the same as the day I brought you back from Hokkaido."

Kato Yusuke rubbed his face, pretending to be relaxed, "I don't think so."

Shiyu smiled softly, showing a very tolerant smile of an older character,

"Obviously you look so sad? Obviously it would be easier to say it?"

"..."

Kato Yusuke's smile froze on his face, and then gradually retracted, like the folds of a shirt being smoothed out.

The clock hanging on the wall is "tick tock", walking step by step, the wind blows in from the balcony outside the window, and the sound of the car's whistle comes from a distance, but it makes the room even quieter.

After waiting for a long time.

"... Sorry, but about this, I have nothing to say."

"……yes?"

The hand with a lower body temperature than his gently brushed his hair away.

"Since Yu-chan is so persistent, then I won't force you."

Shiwa's voice was very soft.

"Although there may never be that chance, I still have to say it. Whenever you want, I will listen to you.

No matter how unhappy, sad or uncomfortable those things are, I will follow them all, and you can confide in me like a trash can or a tree hole.

...Although this kind of role is a bit disadvantageous, I am older than you after all, so you are always welcome to fall into the arms of the big sister~? "

Under the gentle gaze, Kato Yusuke unconsciously clenched his lips, as if he was about to tremble accidentally.

"I won't do that kind of thing, just like my senior sister, I don't like characters from the senior department."

"It's too late. From now on, you will always have such a troublesome character by your side."

"..."

"Hey, can you touch me?"

The girl said in a whispering tone, put her fingers through his fingers, and took his hand.

"Forehead, cheeks, lips, shoulders, upper arms, and belly...a bit shy, but thighs, calves, knees, and toes too."

The other party gently guided his hand to touch the above-mentioned parts.

Directly or indirectly, the vivid body temperature touched by the thin cloth rushes through the fingertips, which is soft and smooth to the touch.

"I am here."

Shi Yu held his hand tightly again, and lightly poked his forehead with her neatly trimmed fingertips.

"—Your light does illuminate someone, and I can attest to that forever. To others you may be a nuisance, but to me, you are the whole world."

"...!"

Kato Yusuke lowered his gaze speechlessly.

The thirsty mouth was sticky, and the bitterness spread in it.

The gentle and firm declaration lingered in his ears, making him feel a heart-wrenching pain in his chest.

In fact, the longer he spends with Shi Yu, the more he can feel the talent and charm of her.

Whether it's his persistence in things, his devotion after his pride has softened, or his tenderness at this moment, all of these moved him very much.

Kato Yusuke also thought about whether he should just be with her like this and develop like an ordinary couple.

But after hesitating, he felt that his feelings were not 100% pure, so he rationally stood outside the circle and decided not to take that step.

Including the reply he had previously agreed to give, he also planned to end with a refusal.

But now, it seems that something has broken silently, falling apart with a clatter.

The excuse I had originally thought of became unspeakable.

He slowly raised his gaze, looked squarely into those crystal bright wine red eyes, took a deep breath, and then squeezed out a smile.

"...Although it may not be the time, can you listen to me? Regarding the reply we made."

"... As I said, it doesn't matter if you reject me, and it doesn't matter if you don't have a title, so you don't have to say it."

"This is an agreed upon matter, and it should be fulfilled to Senior Sister."

"Why...? Could it be that I was your first experience object?"

Shi Yu's eyes dodged, his face lost the composure just now, he just kept making jokes, intentionally or unintentionally not wanting to let the conversation continue, as if he was afraid of something.

"...Listen to me carefully."

Kato Yusuke took a shallow breath, stretched out a hand to lightly lock her beautiful chin, and forced her to meet his gaze.

"Yu...Yu-chan...I don't want to hear it...it doesn't matter if I don't..."

The girl's body was stiff, and her expression was a little anxious, showing great resistance.

Her ruddy lips trembled slightly like two willow leaves, as if she was too anxious to speak.

Regardless of her reaction, the boy continued with a little force.

"Senior sister said she wanted to be with me, right? Several times...I've given you several chances to regret it. As long as you want to leave, I won't stop you."

"……I know."

"—But, because you don't cherish your own, that's only up to today."

"……Eh?"

Facing Shiwa's confused gaze, Kato Yusuke pretended to be fierce, and said word by word:

"I've already given you a chance, so no matter how much you regret it in the future and want to leave me, I won't let you go. Remember this well."

As he spoke, he lowered his head slowly, and at the same time lifted her chin slightly with his hands, and just kissed those delicate and beautiful lips like petals.

"—!"

The girl remained motionless for a moment, as if the pause button had been pressed.

The ice-cold lips are soft and slippery, small and flexible, and you can taste the flavors of lip balm, coffee and pizza.

Kato Yusuke couldn't help poking in a little, gently rolled up her who was still still, and gave her a passionate kiss like an adult.

On the face that was close at hand, one could see her slightly trembling eyelashes, and a layer of watery light floated in her crystal clear eyes, shining gently.

"...Yu-chan."

Shi Yu murmured, hugged his neck tightly, and pressed against his neck.

After a long time, the two pairs of lips parted with a bang, like a suction cup pulled from the wall.

Stopping the girl who wanted to get closer, Kato Yusuke asked in a low voice but clearly:

"...This is my answer. Since you didn't resist just now, you don't have that chance anymore, remember?"

"...Well! I remember."

Shi Yu's eyes are extremely serious, gentle and warm, illusory, and she is about to cry.

Seeing this, he couldn't help laughing, and lowered his voice, "It's okay even if you want to resist and regret, because I will bring you back again and again, Kasumigaoka Shiwa."

"...Ugh... You-chan..."

A voice that was slurred by the nasal sound and slightly trembling responded to him.

The girl covered her mouth vigorously, her eyes were shaking uncontrollably, and the red corners of her eyes glistened with tears, shedding tears.
