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

Chapter 616 Buying
There was a harmonious atmosphere in the room.

When An Yilun also came to the second floor, he saw such a scene.

Without saying anything, he silently walked to the bar and poured himself a cup of tea, then sat down on the single sofa.

For his arrival, everyone didn't have any special reaction, they were still chatting and laughing, enjoying the time like afternoon tea.

Although there was a little misunderstanding just a while ago, Kato Yusuke, who was the person involved, didn't seem to mind, and other people naturally couldn't make irresponsible remarks.

What's more, this is a common room, any member of the studio can use it at will.The kind of workplace bullying that squeezes someone out doesn't happen here.

Even under such circumstances, An Yilun quietly eavesdropped on everyone's conversation.

When he heard that Kato Yusuke's liver explosion caused others to suffer, he also complained.

"What, you mean, Kato, are you becoming more and more like that kind of black-hearted capitalist recently? We are all still high school students, how can you squeeze everyone like this?"

Hearing this, Shi Yu couldn't help frowning.

Just when she was about to say something, Kato Yusuke, who was sitting next to her, touched her leg inadvertently.

"Well, you are right. I didn't think about this matter carefully. I will pay attention to it later."

"Uh……?"

As if he didn't expect him to say that, a look of surprise flashed across An Yilun's face, and he glanced at Ying Lili unconsciously.

The girl was holding a cup of black tea, sipping it slowly and gracefully, without expressing anything.

Such a reaction made him a little disappointed, and he fell silent for a while.

"--all in all."

Kanoko Hasumi patted her palm lightly, attracting everyone's attention, "Everyone has worked hard recently, just like what Kato-kun said, let's take a good rest for a week."

"Hey, is this really okay? Teacher." Mayu Sagara asked with some uncertainty.

Yusuke Kato nodded affirmatively, and said, "Well, just do as Kano-chan said, this period of time is considered a paid vacation."

"Wow~~~! Thank you teacher——!"

Sagara Mayu, who received an affirmative answer, raised her hands and happily shouted long live.

In this way, the studio began a week-long vacation.

◇

Now that the decision was made, Kato Yusuke did not procrastinate.

Even though it was only halfway through today, he still decisively stopped all work and asked everyone to take a vacation early.

Faced with such a good deed, people naturally would not refuse, and happily went home one after another.

Leaving aside the others, at least Eiriri, Mayu, and Shiwa were really exhausted, so they went back to rest immediately.

Kato Yusuke took out his phone and glanced at the time.

Today is February 1st, Sunday.

For them, this is just an ordinary weekend, but for those third-year students, today is a key point in their lives.

——that is, the day of the unified national examination.

Although he felt that what he did was redundant, he still sent a blessing to Ryoko Nakano through LINE.

Perhaps because it is still in the exam period, the other party naturally did not reply.

He didn't mind it, he packed his things and was ready to go home, but...

"Ah, Yusuke, are you free next? I want to go shopping, can you come together?"

Seeing Kei walking over, Kato Yusuke couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

It's not that I'm unfamiliar with shopping, it's just that I haven't seen it for a long time.

In the past, the two would go out shopping together almost every once in a while.

only……

Maybe it's embarrassing.

It's been a while since their last showdown.

Although the girl still regularly cooks some easy-to-storage standing dishes, the actual practice of coming to his home to cook is no longer there.

In order to confirm the meaning of this trip, Kato Yusuke asked.

"Well, I'm free from now on... Are you coming to my house to cook?"

Hui nodded slightly.

"Hmm~~ That's what I thought. Ah, but if it's inconvenient for you, then I can send the cooked dishes to your house directly later."

Unable to explain why, Kato Yusuke's chest loosened slightly.

"No, I just feel a little nostalgic."

"Hey, what do you miss?"

"Because you haven't invited me to buy together for a long time, so I miss it."

"what……"

Hui made a small sound, her eyes flickered like candlelight.

She paused for a while, then said in a natural tone:

"Well~~ If you want to say it, it's not that I haven't thought about asking you out, but some time ago, I always encountered various situations, and it coincided with the New Year, so it ended up being nothing..."

"Is that so, I remember you said that your sister is getting married, right? Must be very busy?" Kato Yusuke said understandingly.

"……what?"

For some reason, the girl showed a surprised expression.

"Well, although that's true... But I just mentioned it casually at the time, it's a good thing you can remember this."

"..."

Kato Yusuke scratched his cheek, involuntarily avoided her sight, and said nothing.

"Hey, Yusuke."

"……What's up?"

"I ask you~"

Hui took a small step forward, looked up at his face slightly, and asked softly with his hands behind his back: "So, do you feel lonely?"

"what……?"

"I mean, are you lonely that I didn't come to your house?"

Clearly, these words reached Kato Yusuke's ears.

He looked back into the other person's eyes, and pretended to smile casually, "... If I said yes, what would you do?"

"..."

Unconsciously, the girl lightly clenched the hands behind her back, and turned her face away as if nothing had happened.

"That's right...you obviously had so much fun with Yinglili? So you call this loneliness~"

"—!"

The person who was pointed was stunned and speechless for a while.

Ignoring his reaction, Kei took out her phone and checked the time.

"Well~ Anyway, it's not too early. Considering the commuting time on the road, let's start as soon as possible."

While talking, the girl stretched out her hand to hold someone's hand and walked outside.

Through the fingertips, a warm and soft touch came over.

Kato Yusuke couldn't help being startled, subconsciously opened his legs, and followed.

……

After half an hour.

The two came to "LIFE" together.

This is a national supermarket chain with about 200 stores in Japan.

The store here is spacious, not only sells a complete range of goods, but also cheaper than the supermarkets outside, which can be called high quality and low price.

Strolling in the supermarket, Kato Yusuke couldn't help looking at Kei who was pushing a shopping cart beside him.

The other party was wearing a spring-like taupe-colored skirt with a cream-colored long-sleeved shirt, a long white windbreaker outside, and a black striped scarf with a white base around his neck.

The overall dress is gentle and fashionable, showing the owner's consistent style.

He thought for a while, and then said, "I'm sorry, Hui, I have to trouble you again today."

"You don't need to say that, anyway, I did it voluntarily, and Yusuke, you will also take back the portion I bought, so we each get what we need."

The girl said disapprovingly, looking back and forth on the dazzling array of shelves.

Because of family circumstances, Hui often takes the initiative to cook at home.

There is no special reason for saying this, it's just that the girl's family occasionally forgets to prepare for her because of her invisibility.

Over time, the master has developed a good cooking skill.

As for Kato Yusuke, because he lives alone, he has to go out to buy regularly.

Based on such a situation, it is actually very convenient for two people to go shopping together.

Supermarkets, for example, often have specials that are bulky, but the servings are too much for one person.

And if two people are together, they can share each other equally.

The advantage of doing this is that girls can buy one more special item that is limited to one per person.

When Hui is shopping in large quantities, Kato Yusuke can also help take back the things she can't carry.

but……

'This should be regarded as an excuse specially created for me. '

He couldn't help but hum inwardly.

Living alone, coupled with the days when he was closed to himself, he didn't have the heart to cook at all, and he ate instant noodles, frozen food and instant food every day.

It was precisely because of this that Hui offered to cook for him at that time.

Whenever they go out shopping together, the girl will come directly to the house and help him prepare several side dishes and dishes that are easy to store.

Frankly speaking, Kato Yusuke felt very sorry for the other party, and also very guilty, and felt very sorry in his heart.

On the contrary, Hui always maintains an understatement attitude, which makes him unconsciously dependent.

Subtly, the other party seems to have entered his life and become an indispensable existence...

"Yusuke, do you still have toothpaste?"

"Well, it seems to be almost used up."

"Then I'll put it in the basket. Also, I remember that there is not much broth powder left, do you want to buy it?"

"want."

"Where's the miso sauce?"

"I'm sorry, but that one too."

"Hmm~~ Let's buy some kombu and bonito flakes too?"

"I'm fine, but that doesn't seem to be a necessity, does it?"

"That being said, do you really like miso soup? This is a rare opportunity. I would like to try making miso soup for you with the dashi stock I made myself."

"Won't that take a lot of time? Just replace it with dashi powder as usual."

"However, homemade broth tastes much better than broth powder. Anyway, we have a lot of time today, so how about some finer dishes once in a while?"

"it is good……"

Kato Yusuke scratched his cheeks, just watching Kei add all kinds of things he would not notice to the shopping basket in time.

This feeling is wonderful and nostalgic, as if the two are already living together.

As he was thinking, a certain girl's face suddenly appeared in his mind, and was erased in the next second.

"The regular dishes are the same as usual, and I will prepare the same dishes as my home, but do you have anything in particular you want to eat tonight?"

"It will be all right."

"This answer is the most nerve-wracking..."

Kei puffed her cheeks slightly, muttering in dissatisfaction.

Kato Yusuke's heart warmed up, and he said without hesitation: "I don't think so much, as long as it's Kei's cooking, I think it's delicious."

"..."

The girl narrowed her eyes slightly, and glanced at him inexplicably.

"You actually said it so firmly... If I made you the natto you hate, would you be able to eat it too?"

"—I'll eat it if you do it." Kato Yusuke replied without hesitation.

Hearing this, a smile flashed across Hui's eyes, and then she gently lowered the corners of her eyes.

"...What, I won't do such disgusting things, so today's dinner is oyakodon and miso soup~?"

"Parent-child rice bowl..." Kato Yusuke couldn't help showing surprise, "It's not a child..."

"There's no rule that adults can't eat parent-child rice bowls, right?"

Megumi tilted her head slightly, and blinked narrowly.

"Besides, didn't you just say that no matter what I make, I will eat it?"

"..."

Looking at her face, Kato Yusuke said with a dumbfounded smile, "Ah, that's right, then I'll leave it to you."

"Well~~ then let's go buy ingredients now."

"Can I have a word?"

"What's wrong?"

"Shopping cart, should I push it?"

Hearing this, Megumi looked at the cart in his hand and his face in turn, and then smiled helplessly.

"...Ah, although I don't think it's necessary to bother you so much, but since Yusuke has already said so, why bother you?"

"No trouble."

Kato Yusuke said as he walked up and took the cart from her.

The girl looked at his actions with some amusement, and when she was about to lift her foot forward, someone suddenly lifted her right hand that was hanging by her leg.

"……what?"

Looking down, a big palm was wrapping her hand.

She twitched lightly, but didn't twitch. The other party seemed to be holding it loosely, but in fact he wouldn't let her escape easily.

"—Let's go, didn't you say you were going to buy ingredients?"

Kato Yusuke pushed the cart with one hand, and said without looking sideways, not mentioning his little tricks at all.

Brief silence.

"...It won't be easy to walk like this?"

"It's okay, I will lead the way."

"Even if you say that, do you know where the ingredient area is?"

"You will know if you walk around. If not, I can ask the staff for directions."

"Oh~~ That's not at all reassuring..."

Kato Yusuke still wanted to quibble, but heard this sentence.

"...All in all, I remember that the ingredients area seems to be on the south side, let's go there."

Hui said as he leaned closer to him, and pointed in the direction with his free left hand.

"..."

After a little silence, Kato Yusuke couldn't help raising the corner of his mouth, and replied: "Yes, my lord!"

"Hey, don't use that weird name."

"Understood, Commander!"

"Ah, if you do this again, will I be angry?"

The two walked shoulder to shoulder and walked forward together.

During the time when one person only finds it troublesome, the words of two people become a time that people look forward to.
