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

Chapter 561 The first time?
"So--"

Yoshiko Himekawa raised the glass and said to everyone in a lively and cheerful tone:

"Everyone has worked hard~! Now, please raise your glasses together, let's toast to Serizawa-san~~~!"

"""""cheers--!!"""""

ding ding dong~

Twelve glasses form a circle and collide above the table.Needless to say, the cups contained various beverages.

On the two tables put together, everyone sat next to each other.

Kato Yusuke was sandwiched between Shiwa and Eiriri, and opposite was "Hayami Kanoko + Megumi + Kako".

"Mina Motoyama+Yu Serizawa+Kinjo Shinjo" sat on the main seat, and "Runya Ai + Mangosteen Brothers" occupied the other end of the main seat.

Logically speaking, Yusuke Kato's seat should have changed with Shinjoka, but due to the subsequent impact of the Black Gold War, it eventually evolved into the current situation.

In order to prevent Shi Yu and Ying Lili from having further disputes, he took the initiative to become that great peace buffer.

This is a mature expression of his consideration of the overall situation, and it definitely has nothing to do with Hui's refusal to sit next to him.

"Gudu, Gudu~"

Serizawa Yu took two sips of her drink, then put down her glass and bowed to everyone.

"Thank you, everyone, I really appreciate——!"

As she spoke, her pretty little face was slightly rosy from excitement, and her expression seemed to be about to cry.

Xintiaoxiang looked at her, and handed out a handkerchief, "I told you, don't be like this on a day like today? Here, use this to wipe your tears."

"Oh, thank you~Xiaoxiang, I'm just a little happy...hehe."

"Hey, what a surprise! And Xintiao-san is so gentle!"

Watching their interaction, Yamaguchi sighed with emotion: "It means that I always thought that Xinjo-san was a younger sister-type character, but I didn't expect it to be an older sister-type character~?"

"Thank you for your compliment, Yamaguchi-san, but it's not a big deal." Shinjoka smiled lightly.

"I also agree with Ah Xiao's words!"

Takei said: "Besides, Serizawa-san lives in Shinjo-san's home, right? You are so amazing. Even though you are a girl, did you dare to take a stranger into your home?"

Regarding matters related to Serizawa Yu, Kato Yusuke briefly mentioned it when he extended the invitation to them, so people also knew that Serizawa Yu lived in Shinjoka's side.

"Ahaha, it's not as exaggerated as Takei-san said."

Faced with Takei's words, Shinjo smiled and waved his hand in front of his chest.

"I was just because the president asked me to, and I happened to live alone, so I would feel more at ease if I had someone to accompany me. It's not as powerful as you think."

"Even if you say that, ordinary people would feel a little bit worried when they encounter this kind of thing, right? Besides, Xintiao is still a high school student."

"Hmm~~~ How should I say this? After all, the president always takes good care of me, and will give me some subsidies after Xiaoxi moves in, which relieves the pressure in my life a lot."

Xinjoxiang continued: "Then there is Xiaoxi who always makes lunch for me, so I am the one who takes care of it. I don't know how to thank you~"

The words in some scenes are very beautiful, showing the image of a beautiful girl who is considerate.

The reaction was mixed.

Shankou, Zhujing, An Yilunye, and Yinglili, all four of them nodded secretly, and couldn't help admiring them.

Including Yoshiko Himekawa, who doesn't like Xinjoxiang very much, and because of this, she has slightly changed her opinion.

Although this is not enough to make them friends, at least she is not so resistant to each other anymore, and it would not be impossible if she were an ordinary classmate.

But for the few other people who know the inside story, it is not the case...

Shi Yu didn't show any emotion on the surface, but actually sneered in his heart.

There was no expression on Hui's face, a calm look.

Ren Jian Kanoko glanced at someone unconsciously, with a half-smile.

Serizawa Yu also sneaked a glance at Kato Yusuke, her eyes flickering.

Mina Motoyama didn't know the twists and turns, but was awakened by Brother Mangtake's words, so she turned to Kato Yusuke.

"Speaking of which, Xiaoyou, how do you plan to arrange Xiaoxi in the future? It's not good to keep bothering Xintiao's classmate. Do you want Xiaoxi to move to your place?"

""--no. ""

The voices of the girls overlapped.

"Uh, Xiaoshi and Yinglili...?" Mina Benshan asked in a daze, "Are you...?"

Shiwa and Yinglili couldn't help but look at each other, and then spoke respectively.

"...I'm sorry, Aunt Mina, I just think this kind of proposal is a bit inappropriate for both Yu-chan and Xiao Xi, can you think about it again?"

"The only thing that can't be refuted. It's fine if they're elementary school students, but they're both high school students, living together or something... I don't think it's really good."

Seemingly inadvertently, Hui followed suit.

"Well, I think Yusuke's place is more like his creative space than his living place."

Yoshiko Himekawa reacted in an instant, and hit her right fist on the top of her left palm with a "boom", nodding her head repeatedly.

"That being said, I've heard that many manga artists can't seem to draw anything unless they are in a quiet environment.

Kato-san can create such interesting manga, so it must be the same~! "

Hearing this, Yamaguchi couldn't help interjecting.

"Hey, that's really strange, Kako, when did you start reading manga? Why didn't I know?"

"... Well~~~ After all, everyone is watching, so I will follow along." Yoshiko Himekawa said with a half smile, and gave him a "shut up!" look.

Yamaguchi fell silent immediately.

The situation is one-sided.

Looking at the crowd expressing their opinions, Motoyama Mina blinked in bewilderment, feeling strange in her heart.

And Kato Yusuke first glanced at Serizawa Yu who lowered her head and said nothing, and then looked at Mina Motoyama.

"I will arrange things about Xiao Xi, Aunt Mina, you don't have to worry."

"That's it...well~ I won't talk about it if you have arrangements." Motoyama Mina nodded slightly, and the matter passed like this.

"OK OK--"

As if to prevent the atmosphere from becoming cold, Yoshiko Himekawa saw the timing and said: "Since everything has been said, let's prepare to eat~!"

"Although it is true that we have to eat...but why is it you, Kako, who is in charge of the situation?" Yamaguchi couldn't help complaining.

"What's your tone! Can't I?"

"I'm not picking on you. The problem is that we are all guests. Shouldn't the host be the host at this time?"

"You're right, but there's nothing you can do about it, Kato-san can't liven up the atmosphere at all...

Ah, I'm not saying that you have facial paralysis, Kato-san.It's just that you are always like that after all, hehehe. "

Yoshiko Himekawa stuck out her tongue and hit herself on the head with her fist.

Yamaguchi deliberately teased her, "Actually, that's what you think in your heart, right? Kako."

After speaking, he turned to Yusuke Kato and said:

"Well, but Kato, you are really not suitable for this kind of thing. A real man should be the kind of key man, so leave the matter of enlivening the atmosphere to us~!"

Kato Yusuke nodded helplessly as a response.

……

Next, everyone picked up chopsticks to eat.

Today's lunch is sukiyaki with various meats and vegetables on the table.

At first glance, this is an unexpected combination, but it is very suitable for gatherings with a lot of people. It tastes like eating hot pot in winter.

People were eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was very lively.

On the second day after the cultural festival just ended, the topic naturally cannot be separated from this aspect.

For example, the commotion caused by Kato Yusuke on the first day, the wonderful performances of the drama department this year, the interesting projects of which class and club, etc...

Everyone talked freely about what they had seen and heard at the cultural festival, which was full of fun.

"So to speak..."

Zhu Jing suddenly said: "Student An Yi, you are really amazing. You actually got No.2 in our school by yourself. You are so strong."

Upon hearing this, An Yilun, who was still enjoying the delicious food, immediately cheered up, put down the bowl and chopsticks excitedly and said:

"Huh, where? I'm not that good."

"is it?"

"That's right~! In fact, I was able to win No.2, thanks to Kato's willingness to lend me the right to use the audio-visual classroom at that time. Otherwise, it would be difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice."

"Uh……?"

"Besides, I have been planning this event a few months before the opening of the cultural festival, and even ran around outside for it, so I was able to prepare so well."

"..."

"Of course, you may think I'm thick-skinned when I say this, but this screening is actually full of my personal style, whether it's the selection and sequence of animations or the commentary interspersed in the middle."

"..."

"In the end, being able to get the support and approval of the audience like this shows that everyone's taste in animation is above the standard, and they have the possibility of becoming an otaku—!"

"..."

"........."

"........."

Looking at the triumphant An Yilun, everyone couldn't help but fell silent.

Slowly, Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "... Huh, although I don't really want to say that, but you seem to be quite proud, An Yilun is also a classmate."

Ying Lili also echoed: "It's just getting No.2, you are too complacent, right? Don't you feel ashamed?"

"—You two actually have a very good relationship!? Is that so!?" An Yilun, who had rolled his eyes twice, also complained vigorously.

"Well~~~"

Hui on the side interjected casually: "Anyway, classmate An Yi is also famous in school for this reason, although I don't know if it's good or bad."

After being said so one after another, An Yilun didn't even have the intention of showing off, and instantly became frowning, but still couldn't hold back a rebuttal.

"Does it mean that everyone will not treat me too much? Didn't you leave any unforgettable memories at the cultural festival that are worth reminiscing?"

"worth……"

"Aftertaste..."

"Unforgettable memories..."

Shiwa, Eiriri, and Kei murmured, looking at Kato Yusuke unconsciously, and blushed at the same time.

Then, two of them were out of sight.

Another one was blushing, but happily touched his cheek with one hand, with a shy and ambiguous tone.

"...Hmm~ It's not a big deal if I have to say it, it's the first time I got Yu-chan, I don't know if this is an unforgettable memory~~~?"

The house suddenly fell silent.

Immediately after—

"""""First, first time—!?!?"""""

——An uproar erupted immediately.

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Shi Yu's expression became even more shy, and she gently pressed a finger to her lips, pretending to be reserved.

"Xiaoyou...?" Motoyama Mina frowned.

"Yu, Brother Yu...?" Yuki Serizawa hesitated to speak.

"Kato-kun...?" Hasumi Kanoko questioned.

"Yusuke...!" Eriri wrinkled her face.

"Kato-san...?" Yoshiko Himekawa couldn't believe it.

"Kato??" Brother Mangzhu and An Yilun also opened their mouths wide.

Many gazes gathered together and pressed towards Kato Yusuke, causing his body to sink slightly.

Kato Yusuke resisted the pressure, raised his hands to show his innocence, and explained very quickly:
"Calm down, Shiba-senpai, she's talking about teaching me a folk dance—!"

"Country dance—?" x10
"That's right! Because I've never danced a folk dance before, please ask Senior Sister Shiyu to teach me. Yesterday was my first time dancing, and that's it."

"Oops~"

Shi Yu called out shyly, and said happily:

"As far as the first time is concerned, Yu-chan's rhythm is very good, and his movements towards girls are very gentle, so our cooperation is quite in sync~"

"Uh……"

"That is to say..."

"This should..."

"no……"

"That's what you mean?"

Jiazi, Yamaguchi, Takei, and An Yilun also spoke one after another.

"Hey, what do you mean? Is there something wrong with my words?"

Shi Yu tilted her head in confusion, "Didn't You-chan talk about it all? It's just a folk dance together."

"Damn it! Did you use that misleading statement on purpose? Kasumigaoka Shiwa—!"

"What do you mean by being so anxious and angry? Sawamura. I've been talking about folk dance from the beginning to the end, but where did you think it was?"

"I...!" Ying Lili wanted to say something subconsciously, but she held back.

"—I'm too lazy to argue with you...!"

As she spoke, she picked up her cup and poured a drink, her small face turned red visibly, and even her delicate ears were dyed a layer of youthful pink.

Seeing that she didn't get on the set, Shiyu felt a little regretful, and then happily ate.

The rest of the people looked at me and I looked at you, and they all saw a look of speechlessness on the other's face.

But after such a small episode, the atmosphere on the table became more relaxed and harmonious.

The price is that Kato Yusuke, as the protagonist, is deflated, but he can't say anything yet.

As the saying goes, fortune comes from misfortune, and misfortune comes from blessing.

Although he was indeed teased by Shi Yu, thanks to the topic An Yilun also raised, he finally saw Hui's blushing reaction.

This at least shows that the other party is not resisting him, and it is barely a gain.

Thinking of this, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but feel happy.

A group of people continued to eat and drink, and the meal ended in a lively atmosphere.
