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

Chapter 555 Cultural Festival ([-])
After that, Kato Yusuke and Eiriri reunited.

Perhaps under the influence of Shinjoka, the tired girl asked to eat something, so the two came to the courtyard together.

This is the courtyard area of ​​the school, and it is also the area with the strongest smoke.

There are rows of stalls all around.

Such as fried noodles, hot dogs, toasted muffins, candy apples, chocolate bananas, and a shave ice stand that was only set up because of the wrong drug.

The air is filled with all kinds of food aromas, arousing the gluttons in people's stomachs.

The gathering of students hawking customers and tourists enjoying food on the spot made the atmosphere very lively.

Members of the executive committee wore armbands and conducted safety checks on all booths one by one.

Including but not limited to the freshness of ingredients, dangerous goods near the fire source, garbage cleaning status, etc., and finally record according to the situation.

Kato Yusuke bought a fried noodle and two bottles of honeydew melon soda, and Eriri bought a maple syrup-flavored baked muffin.

With a distance of about ten centimeters, the two sat down on the bench in the atrium.

"Here, here is your soda." Kato Yusuke opened a bottle of soda and handed it to his side.

"Well, thanks." Ying Lili took the soda, gulped down a couple of sips, and then put the glass bottle aside.

Under the winter sun, whether it is her shining blond hair or her skin as white as fresh snow, they all look extraordinarily dazzling.

"So, what happened to Xintiao?"

"Hmm...Let's hand her over to Teacher Kiyoura in the health room."

"It's been a long time since you've been there. Is there something wrong with the situation?"

"nor."

Ying Lili shook her head slightly, and explained: "Teacher Qingpu said that Xintiao should be a little tired, so she arranged for her to rest there, and I chatted with her for a while."

Kato Yusuke nodded to express understanding, and had no intention of asking further, but the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated with a "hum--".

Open it up and take a look.

【Xinjoxiang: Daily lesson (photo.jpg)】

A pink ball the size of a pigeon egg, plus a pair of underwear with a slight sense of transparency, came into view brightly.

"What are you doing?"

"No, nothing."

Before Ying Lili looked over, Kato Yusuke immediately put away the phone and put it in the pocket on the other side without the remote control.

In order to cut off the floating thoughts in his mind, he neatly took apart the disposable chopsticks.

When I was about to eat fried noodles...

"—Hey, give me a bite too."

Such words suddenly came from my ears.

"I said you..."

Kato Yusuke handed over the fried noodles and the chopsticks he just took apart, and said speechlessly, "Didn't you say you didn't want to eat it when you bought it just now?"

"What does it matter, I'll just take a bite, cheapskate."

Ying Lili took the fried noodle box, picked up a pinch of wheat-colored noodles with chopsticks, and ate them in a hurry.

"Ah~ this is delicious!"

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but smile at the true appearance that day: "If you like it, do you want me to buy another copy for you?"

"No, I still have toasted muffins and fried noodles for you."

"Well."

Kato Yusuke took back the fried noodles, turned the chopsticks over, and took a big mouthful as well.

The taste of the noodles is not bad, it is the kind of instant noodles bought in the supermarket.There is nothing special about the cooking method, it is just fried with a salty teppanyaki sauce.

Overall, this chow mein is not delicious, full of the cheap taste that is typical of festival stalls.

As for why the girl thought it was delicious, it was probably influenced by the atmosphere of the scene.

Just like choosing a place with a lot of people to sit outside when having a barbecue, under the influence of a unique atmosphere, ordinary food will become more delicious.

Kato Yusuke was eating fried noodles with relish, drinking soda, but Eriri suddenly elbowed him on the side.

"Hey, this baked muffin is delicious~ it's so soft!"

"Hmm... I can understand that you're excited, but you don't need to hit me because of this, do you?"

"Why, do you have any dissatisfaction?" Ying Lili squinted her eyes.

Kato Yusuke shook his head helplessly, "No..."

"Hmm..." Ying Lili hummed softly, as if she suddenly thought of something, she cut off a small piece of muffin with a plastic fork and brought it to his mouth.

"...As a return gift just now, let me give you a bite too."

"?"

Kato Yusuke was stunned for a moment, and before he could open his mouth, he hurriedly warned the convenience: "Also, if your lips dare to touch the fork, I will kill you!"

Hearing this, he immediately drooped his eyes unbearably, and sighed: "Then can I choose not to eat...?"

Ying Lili didn't say a word, but stared straight at him, with a tough expression and wavering eyes, as if she mustered up her courage.

"..."

Kato Yusuke turned his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll just eat, you don't need to be so serious."

As he spoke, he opened his mouth and moved closer, carefully biting off the golden muffin from the fork, and closing his mouth to chew.

"... Hey, the muffins here are quite delicious, almost as good as those sold outside."

"..."

Ying Lili relaxed her shoulders slightly, stared at the fork for a while, and then turned her head back with a "hum~" with a proud face.

"——so I always say it's delicious, idiot."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

"It's delicious, but I'll only give you one bite, okay? The rest is mine."

"Even if you're not so vigilant, I won't rob you." Kato Yusuke looked at her half amused and half helpless, thinking she was cute and inexplicable.

The subject glared at him in embarrassment, then lowered his head in embarrassment, and continued to eat muffins.

"Speaking of which, are you in the mood to talk about business now? Ying Lili."

Ying Lili stopped moving her hands, and said vaguely: "Not yet..."

Kato Yusuke nodded slightly, not too forcefully.While watching the people coming and going in front of me, I leisurely drank honeydew soda.

"So have you figured out where you're going next?" he asked.

"Um……"

Ying Lili agreed in a low voice, with a rare uneasiness on her delicate face, "I want to go to the haunted house."

"what?"

Kato Yusuke turned to look at her strangely, suspecting that he heard it wrong, "Haunted house? But don't you hate this kind of thing??"

"Is there...is...the law."

"Huh? What did you say?"

"..."

Ying Lili lowered her head sadly, refusing to explain.

"The Raiders of the Slow Male Protagonist"

Author: Sayuri Sawamura

Point [-]: Invite the target to go to the haunted house together, use the suspension bridge effect to create a heart-pounding atmosphere, thereby increasing physical contact and showing femininity~

Ying Lili recalled her mother's words in her mind, her eyes gradually became firm.

……

Ever since, the two of them, who were full of food and drink, returned to the teaching building and came to the corridor on the third floor.

Among the crowded crowd, only one classroom was exuding an ominous atmosphere.

On the wall outside the classroom, newspapers with bloody handprints were plastered all over the wall in a disorderly manner, exuding a crazy atmosphere from a B-grade movie.

——That is the classroom belonging to Class D of the second year.

The two walked to the end of the line consciously and began to line up.

Even though it was just after noon, there was quite a queue in front of the classroom, and there were special personnel in charge of the entire team.

Students and tourists who like to look for excitement gather here, and they can't wait to try the taste and depth of it.

"Is this the haunted house jointly built by Class D and Class E? It seems very interesting."

"Really~ It is said that there are sound effects recorded by real people."

"I've heard about it too! And the experience at the end is amazing, it's very suitable for couples to come together!"

"..."

People were discussing in a hurry, with excitement written all over their faces.

Kato Yusuke glanced at Ying Lili, who was standing next to him with his arms folded, and the fingers on his arms were beating his arms frequently, obviously a little nervous.

'If you're so scared, why do you need to come? 'He whispered secretly in his heart, unable to figure out the reason.

But in any case, since he had agreed to the other party, he had no intention of going back on his word.

After queuing for 10 minutes, it was finally their turn.

The conductor guarding the door was wearing a black cloak and a Jason mask on his face, deliberately speaking in a strange voice.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie ~ Please pay the entrance fee, 600 yen per person."

The sharp screams came from the classroom behind the black cloth, which made people daunting.

Eiriri tensed her nerves, swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously, and then moved stiffly to get the wallet, but was stopped by Kato Yusuke.

"Let me do it." He said, he quickly took out his wallet to pay, and exchanged two fluorescent sticks from the conductor.

"Jie Jie Jie ~ two fresh lambs offered their sacrifices."

The conductor spoke up and down, and raised his hand to lift the door curtain, revealing the dark entrance inside, his tone full of hints.

"Remember, if you are in danger, please shout for help, and someone will come to save you."

The rules of the game here are in teams of two, so they don't have to wait to get right.

"..."

Kato Yusuke looked at the conductor blankly, and wanted to ask if he didn't feel ashamed.In the end, Ying Lili seemed to like this very much, and moved towards him tremblingly.

Seeing this, he asked a question.

"How about it? If you regret it now, we can play something else?"

I don't know what kind of stimulation she received, but Ying Lili shook her head resolutely, obviously disagreeing with this proposal.

Kato Yusuke simply stopped persuading her and took her directly into the classroom.

swish~

As the curtain fell behind them, all light was cut out.

As a matter of course, it was pitch black in front of my eyes, only the light stick in my hand was emitting a faint light, illuminating the face in blue.

Kato Yusuke picked up the light stick to observe, and found that this should not be the starting point, so he called Eirari to go a little further.

It wasn't until the first corner was turned that the scene changed.

In front of him was a narrow passage built with boards, barely wide enough for three girls to stand side by side.

The board was covered with a layer of black plastic bags, and many ominous phrases and ghostly symbols were pasted on it, such as "I hate you so much" and "Give me back my life" and the like.

Just like when I arranged to enter the venue, there were some plausible psychological hints.

Looking up to the front, the dark and difficult passageway is indistinct, as if something is quietly lurking in the darkness.

Whenever the cool wind came in, the plastic bags on the board would rustle, and the shadows of the two would also twist.

Tick-tick--tick-tick-.

The sound of water dripping into a deep well came from the depths, mixed with the mournful sound of the wind, making people shudder.

Kato Yusuke turned to look beside him.

At this time, Ying Lili was looking around anxiously, her snow-white face was faintly blue, and she was clutching her chest with one hand, and the hem of his coat with the other.

"Eri Pear?"

"ah!"

He just asked casually, but the other party's body jumped suddenly, and then his eyes widened angrily.

"What, what are you doing...why are you talking all of a sudden!?"

"No... I just wanted to say, if you're ready, let's move on."

"Well, you don't need to talk about that kind of thing, let's go!" Ying Lili said so, but her feet didn't move.

Kato Yusuke looked at her ugly face and asked, "...In short, do you want to hold hands?"

"Ha, ha...? Hold, hold hands? Why would I do that kind of thing? Could it be... are you afraid?"

"...Well, let's just treat it like that, so let's hold hands."

Ying Lili looked at his outstretched hand, hesitated for a few seconds, then put it up tremblingly.

"People, people aren't hurting you, are you scared? It's just seeing you trembling, so I'm supporting you... Don't, don't get me wrong!"

The parties showed a gesture of necessity.

'...so why make yourself guilty? '

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but sighed heavily: "Ah, I see, then let's go."

After finishing speaking, he led her forward, and this time the other party was very cooperative.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.

The sound of heavy and light footsteps echoed quietly, and they explored the depths cautiously.

As if wanting to dispel the fear of the dark, Ying Lili raised her voice and spoke.

"Cough cough, hum! The words, the words show that you are a boy, and you are actually afraid... Don't you feel ashamed of that kind of thing?"

"Well—if I have to say it, I think everyone has their own fears, right? There's nothing to be ashamed of."

"But, but... ghosts are like Santa Claus, even elementary school students don't believe in them...!"

"Everyone is different, and there is no need to compare yourself with others."

"...Then, besides ghosts, what else are you afraid of?"

"My words... I guess I'm afraid of losing important people."

"...Losing someone important?"

"Well, that's the only thing I can't accept."

"What would you do if you lost it?"

"Well, that's not a good question."

"What does that mean...!"

"After all, people will change due to various opportunities. Now I can answer you with only one sentence."

Kato Yusuke turned around and said softly, "I won't lose anyone easily again."

Ying Lili couldn't help being stunned, she just felt that there seemed to be something hidden in these words, and she wanted to ask questions in a hurry.

But at this moment, something suddenly fell from the sky and fell to the ground with a "snap".

She looked down subconsciously.

With the faint blue light of the fluorescent stick, what came into view was a broken forearm, and the cold white bones could be seen between the flesh and blood.

The moment she saw that thing clearly, her pupils dilated and contracted suddenly, and her scalp went numb.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The person involved screamed indiscriminately: "Come out, out, out, out—————!"

The shrill cry echoed.

It was only half a beat later that the boy's voice rang in his ears.

"It's just a prop, Yinglili."

There is a strange calming power in the voice, full of calmness.

But even so, Ying Lili still didn't dare to look at it, but closed her eyes tightly, "You, take it away quickly——!"

Kato Yusuke picked up the amputated limb and found that it was made of silicone material, which looked realistic at first glance in the dark.

He casually put the little prop aside, and then said, "Okay, it's over."

"T-really...?"

"Well, really, I don't lie to you."

"..."

Ying Lili slightly opened her eyes a little, and as expected the thing disappeared on the ground, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Kato Yusuke looked at her and suggested: "If you are really scared, otherwise we will retreat from here..."

"--I do not want!"

"……Uh?"

Ying Lili pressed her chest lightly, took a deep breath, and then let it out from her chest cavity.

"...Go on, let's play till the end."

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but asked in confusion: "...There is nothing to be brave about this kind of thing. Is it necessary to be so persistent?"

There was some doubt in his heart.

After all, the other party is not the kind of person who likes horror themes, and the whole person also shows strong discomfort, but refuses to give up.

This kind of behavior is so abnormal that it's hard not to think about it...

"But I just want to play... At least until the last part..." Ying Lili muttered with her head down, without explaining the reason.

Kato Yusuke scratched his hair in confusion, thought for a while, and then said helplessly: "Okay, since you insist..."

"Hmm...thank you."

"It's not enough to thank you... In short, if you are afraid, just close your eyes and pull me. I will take you the rest of the way."

"Um--!"

Ying Lili nodded heavily upon hearing this, immediately hugged his arm tightly, and pressed her whole body against him, as if trying to join him.

'It doesn't need to be so close...'

Kato Yusuke thought so, and wanted to persuade her not to stick so close, otherwise it would affect her walking.But when he saw the trembling look of the other party, he gave up this plan again.

"...Then, if you're ready, I'm going to start."

Ying Lili didn't say anything about this, but nodded repeatedly with her eyes closed, as if she recognized what he said.

Kato Yusuke smiled wryly, feeling faintly that he had become a guide dog, so he led her forward slowly.

The two stood side by side, holding hands.

Walking forward in the darkness step by step...
