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

Chapter 551 Cultural Festival ([-])
The two visited the cultural festival and had lunch together.

Renjian Kanoko didn't want to delay him for too long, and offered to go to other teachers to talk about the past, so she bid farewell and acted alone.

Seeing that there was still some time before the scheduled itinerary, Kato Yusuke took the time to take a shower, put on a new set of casual clothes, put on glasses and a peaked cap, and act in a low-key manner.

At a quarter past three in the afternoon, he came to the gymnasium.

It was the time for the group performance to change, and there was a slight "buzzing" noise in the hall.People were talking about something in low voices, causing a strange enthusiasm to float in the air.

"Next is the performance of the drama department?"

"Have you heard? The drama department's stage play seems very good."

"I've heard, I've heard~ This matter was spread yesterday, and the script seems to be written by that person."

……

In such an environment, Kato Yusuke quietly sat down in the empty seat in the middle of the first row, and greeted the long-haired girl next to her.

"Good afternoon, Shiba-senpai."

"Good afternoon, Yu-chan."

The girl turned her face slightly, and her soft and beautiful face was a little dazzling under the light.

"...Or, you are finally willing to come, male friend friend."

"Uh?"

"Evidently even that classmate Ethics came to watch the show yesterday, but my boyfriend refused to even show his face~"

There was deep dissatisfaction in his tone.

Kato Yusuke was taken aback for a moment, and then a gentle and apologetic smile appeared on his face.

"...I'm sorry, I couldn't come because I had to go on inspection yesterday afternoon."

"You said that..."

Shi Yu glanced at him coldly, "But when I signed autographs for the girls and called them "Miss", I was free."

"Uh, doesn't that mean we've already discussed this, senpai? That's just our class activity."

"Hey, but you are obviously enjoying it, even if I want to take you away, you are not willing."

"That was a misunderstanding... I have explained this too."

"Then will you still do this kind of thing in the future?"

"Well... After all, I'm no longer in charge of soliciting customers, so I won't do that kind of thing again, and the other thing is..."

Yusuke Kato put his hand into his jacket pocket, took out the gift he had prepared, and handed it over, "This is for you, Shiba-senpai."

"……Bath ball?"

Shi Yu put the bath ball in front of her eyes, identified it by the light above it, and asked puzzledly, "Why did you give me this?"

"Well, because I saw Nakano-senpai's class doing this during my inspection yesterday, so I asked her to guide me in doing it."

"Guiding you?"

"Ah."

Kato Yusuke nodded in affirmation.

"The project in their class is DIY bath balls. You can choose the color or the fragrance by yourself. I chose red and rose for the senior sister on my own initiative. Do you like it?"

"...In other words, Yu-chan made this by himself?"

"Although this is true, Nakano-senpai helped in the preparation of the materials. I just did some simple hands-on work."

"Yu-chan... squeezed out..."

Shiyu murmured, put the bath ball in front of her nose and smelled it, and a strong fragrance of roses floated into her nasal cavity.

The corners of her mouth could not help but rise slightly, and her mood suddenly became cheerful.

"Speaking of which, Yu-chan~"

"what's up?"

"Why did you choose rose~?" The girl asked with a leisurely smile, "Do you know what its flower language is?"

Kato Yusuke was taken aback by the question, then tilted his head slightly to think about it, and tentatively said, "...Is it related to love?"

"Closer, but not quite right."

Shi Yu raised her feet happily, rested her chin on one hand and rested her right elbow on her thigh, then lightly parted her red lips, "...the correct answer is, "I love you, every day." "

A sexy croon floated into the boy's ears, making him a little distracted.

The girl's face was also slightly flushed, and there were clear waves in a pair of wine-red eyes, which were bright and moving.

'Why did it sound like a confession...'

Kato Yusuke pressed his lower lip with the tip of his tongue, gave a meaningless dry laugh, and said casually: "...I see, thank you for your explanation, Shiba-senpai, I don't know much about this."

"..."

Shi Yu stared at him leisurely for a while, then smiled sweetly, "No~ I'm the one who should say thank you, I like this gift very much."

Then, she held the bath ball in front of her face with her light-white fingers, and blinked narrowly.

"...And that's it~ It's a pity that I use it alone, so I will save it for a special day and enjoy it with Yu-chan."

"...!"

On the stage, the students are speeding up their arrangements for the upcoming performance.

Today, there are no such entertainment programs as voluntary performances by bands. All of them are performances that are more in line with the theme of the cultural festival and focus on the announcement of the results of cultural associations.

And the next thing to start is the press conference of the drama department, which generated a topic and attracted attention on the first day of the cultural festival.

"..."

Kato Yusuke calmed down, suppressed the fluctuations in his heart, and asked: "...By the way, didn't senior sister also watch the performance yesterday, don't you need to participate in class activities?"

As if a certain nerve was touched by this sentence, Shiyu raised her brows displeased, "...Compared with participating in that kind of thing, I would rather work here."

As the script director of the drama department, it is also her job to check whether the performances of the actors are qualified.

"That kind of thing?"

Kato Yusuke thought for a while, "I remember... the second-year class D where my senior is in is a haunted house, right? And it was held jointly with class E next door."

"It's just a boring activity based on some mechanisms and props. Whether it's the people who play or the people who are busy with it, it's just a waste of life."

"It's really a sharp sharp comment... If the students in my sister's class hear this, they will probably cry?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Shiyu nodded in disgust.

"That's right. Some fools just can't see the truth clearly. They insist on me explaining clearly, but the result is just like what Yu-chan said."

"Could it be that you said the above paragraph to someone face to face...??" Kato Yusuke said dumbfounded.

"of course."

Shi Yu flipped her hair casually, "Although I am an evil, lying woman with a yellow tongue, I will not lie in this kind of place."

Kato Yusuke smiled wryly: "Generally speaking, it's this kind of place that needs white lies the most, right?"

"...You mean, you want me to worry about their feelings?"

"Well, how should I put it...?"

"Why? They're not Yo-chan, an evil god like me won't worry about those idlers..."

Shi Yu paused at this point, then looked back at him with a smile, "Because I will only be raised by Yo-chan~"

The gentle, charming, and black-hearted voice teased the boy's ears.

Kato Yusuke looked away unnaturally, and did not pick up the topic easily.

"However, the haunted house..."

He muttered unconsciously, imagined the other party pretending to be a ghost in his mind, and blurted out unconsciously: "If it's senior sister, I think it will be a very beautiful snow girl..."

"Eh?"

Shi Yu blinked blankly, blushed slightly, then moved closer to him, and asked with a long voice: "...What, so you like this, Yu-chan?"

"……Um?"

Kato Yusuke realized his slip of the tongue, and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, "No, I'm just talking casually, senior sister doesn't need to care."

"Hehe~ But the Snow Maiden doesn't belong to the ghost department, right? That should be a monster."

A hand gently pressed his thigh, and the girl's soft and fragrant body was pressed against his half body, lingering infinitely.

"All in all~"

The girl lowered her voice and said, "If you're interested, I don't mind changing into that slippery bathrobe, just for Yu-chan to cosplay."

"...would anyone describe a yukata as slippery?"

"Hey~ Isn't it slippery when you take it off?"

"Uh, then why did you disconnect the cosplay and add accents to the latter part?"

"It is the common sense of writers to mark the important points so that readers can better understand the context of a sentence~?"

"........."

Kato Yusuke couldn't bear her a little bit, so he reached out to hold the hand she put on his lap, with a helpless expression, "...Compared to that, let's watch a drama."

Unexpectedly, he would suddenly shake hands. Shi Yu, who was still at ease, couldn't help but froze, her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly calmed down.

At the same time, the stage is finally ready.

With a bang, all the lights in the hall went out.

All attention was focused on the spotlit stage.

Seizing this opportunity, a speech to announce the curtain was sent out from the loudspeaker.

"I've kept you waiting for a long time. The following is the stage play "Hehe Rhapsody" brought by the drama department. The script writer is Kasumigaoka Shiwa. The performance..."

clap clap clap-

There was a clear applause full of anticipation in the hall.

Kato Yusuke looked up at the stage, also with some anticipation in his eyes.

At this time, his right shoulder suddenly gained a light weight.Five slender fingers also squeezed between his fingers, interlocking with his fingers.

Turn around.

Shiyu, who was leaning against him, leaned her head on his shoulder, looking at the stage expressionlessly.

The fragrance of the shampoo is tangy, quietly drifting between square inches.

Kato Yusuke couldn't help lowering his head, and kissed the girl's forehead lightly.

The other party's body froze, but he didn't say anything, just squeezed against him again, and just clenched his hand so tightly.

Plop, plop, heart beating...

……

In the dimly lit gymnasium, there was silence in the auditorium.

Everyone was enjoying the performance attentively, but Yusuke Kato couldn't help but think of what happened a few months ago.

I remember that when he was first elected as the student council president, he also visited a rehearsal of the drama department, and was even "fortunate" to accompany the girl to an impromptu performance.

Recalling what happened at that time, he couldn't help shaking his shoulders amusedly.

Sensing his reaction, Shi Yu raised his eyes strangely, and asked in a low voice, "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, just recalling some interesting things."

"Interesting thing...so what is it?"

"Um……"

Kato Yusuke pondered for a moment, but still told the other party what he was thinking.

Upon hearing this, the girl who was still a bit suspicious had a nostalgic and wicked smile on her face, and sighed sullenly on purpose.

"...What can I do? Who told me that there are not many opportunities to get close to you, and you are so slow, so I can only do that at that time?"

"...So that's the case, so the scene where the kiss was about to be kissed was really added by the senior sister on purpose, right?"

Shi Yu chuckled: "After all, if you want you to remember my words, you can't leave a deep impression~"

"...Well, it's so heavy, so it turns out that senior sister has coveted it since then?"

"Well~ who told me to be such a stalking woman, you should be used to it, right?"

"Why is your tone full of complacency...?"

"If you don't understand, I can answer you, it's okay, but the answer lies in you, huh? Boy~friend~friend~jun~"

Turning around, the topic returned to myself.

It seems that no matter when they are together with Shi Yu, almost [-]% of the topics between them are related to him.

Kato Yusuke was a little moved by this, but also a little guilty, and suddenly thought of a sentence the other party had said.

——"You are my only one, but I am only one of you."

Quietly, complex emotions began to well up in my heart.

In order to keep his brain from thinking wildly, Kato Yusuke hurriedly changed the subject.

"...Speaking of which, this performance was full of tension from the beginning."

"The director of the drama department cried to me that the characters had too many lines and the script was too thick."

"Uh, I think they're crying for more than just that..."

"Huh~ What's that?" I don't know if I really don't understand or if I don't understand, Shi Yu looked at him curiously.

"Well——from what I saw at the time...Senior Shiba's strictness should account for a large proportion."

"I'm strict?"

"If you don't understand, I can answer that it doesn't matter, but the answer lies in you, okay? Shiba-senpai." Kato Yusuke intentionally imitated her.

As if touched by him, the girl shook her shoulders and covered her mouth with a chuckle, "Well~ then tell me~~~"

"In just 5 minutes, I NGed almost [-] times, and even made three members flee... It really left a deep impression on me."

"Do you think I did something wrong?"

"How come? The answer on the stage is already clear, right?"

Kato Yusuke said with a smile: "Looking at the expressions of the audience, everyone must think that this is already a professional-level performance, not a superficial performance by a high school student group at all."

"...You think so because of the actors' acting skills, so if you want to praise them, praise them." The girl said lightly.

As the saying goes, strict teachers lead to high-quality apprentices, and fine arts rely on tempering.

Masochists who can survive under Shiwa's devilish training... No, it should be said that the elite actors are indeed worthy of praise.

And the audience's reaction is the best compliment.

On the stage, the lines of the actors are getting faster and faster, the emotions are also rising, the actions are becoming more passionate, and the plot is becoming more intense.

The superb acting skills bring a strong appeal.

The mature performances of the actors have completely attracted other audiences.

On the other hand, although their acting skills are very good, they must not ignore the excellence of the script.

"Harmony Rhapsody"

This is not only Shiwa's drama debut, but also the only drama she has written so far.

Kato Yusuke couldn't help being impressed by this.

After all, while taking care of excellent commercial novels, she can still find time to write this kind of legendary drama for fun. Needless to say, the talent of a girl.

Obviously such a girl can be dazzling everywhere, but she just falls in love with him.

Thinking of this, his sense of responsibility became slightly heavier.

"By the way, Shiba-senpai."

"what's up?"

"Has the release date for the final volume of your novel been arranged?"

"Well, it should be on the first of next month, which is after the end of the cultural festival."

"Are there any problems with the illustration?"

"The relationship between you and Mr. Hozumi Matsubara has been resolved."

"I see. Well, that's good."

"What about you?" Shi Yu asked, "Is the manga serialization going well? Has it been affected by the cultural festival?"

"...Well, although I stayed up for a few days and nights, I have caught up with the progress."

Yusuke Kato explained:

"I can probably finish Chapter 43 on the original manuscript tonight, and I can hand it over to Undead River on Monday. If it is a booklet, the third volume should be released after the senior sister."

The girl nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

……

The two continued to enjoy the show.

Unknowingly, the drama came to an end, and the audience was so focused that they almost forgot to breathe.

Suddenly, the stage dimmed.

A ray of light hit the girl who was the head of the drama department.

This is the protagonist's last one-man show, which brings an end to the whole play.

A memorable and legendary performance (as far as high school students are concerned), ended with a full house.

At the moment when it was over, there was an applause of "哗啦啦——!" from the audience.

The gymnasium was enveloped in thunderous applause and cheers, and even the air in the stadium became warm.

In this noisy environment, Kato Yusuke suddenly felt his sleeve being pulled.

He instinctively turned his head to look over, just in time to meet Shang Shiyu's staring gaze.

The rosy lips parted slightly, and poured out two words to him.

--"kiss Me."

In the hustle and bustle, the voice seemed to ring directly in my mind.

Kato Yusuke was stunned.

The lights on the stage were broken into the girl's beautiful eyes, which reflected his silhouette, focused and intoxicated.

The cool and beautiful little face was clearly illuminated, with a faint blush on it, and the lips were moist and shiny.

An inexplicable emotion suddenly surged in his chest, and something in his heart seemed to be touched.

Without saying anything, Kato Yusuke leaned over.

Shi Yu closed her eyes lightly, put her hands around his neck, and kissed back jerky and passionately.

Teenagers and girls kiss each other.

The dimly lit gymnasium was full of turmoil, but they were the only ones who were so quiet that they could hear each other's heartbeat and breathing clearly.

——Gentle and charming.

The two figures did not separate until the actors left the stage.

……

　Thanks to [VExcaliburV] for the reward.
