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

Chapter 617 Shura
The two bought this and that, and when they returned to the apartment, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

In front of the door of room "201".

Kato Yusuke was carrying two large shopping bags, and was about to put them on the ground to open the door——

"Ah, let me do it."

Megumin, who came up from behind, took out the key from his backpack while saying so, and opened the door casually.

"Come, please come in."

"...Well, thank you."

Kato Yusuke looked at the opened door and the other person's face alternately, walked into the entrance with a delicate mood, then kicked off his shoes and stood in the corridor.

Padang~

Immediately after, Kei also closed the door and walked in.

"Hui, do you have to put the things you bought in the refrigerator directly?"

"Well~~ I still need to tidy up before that, can I trouble you to take it to the living room first?"

Kato Yusuke nodded and said a good word, walked into the house with a shopping bag, and finally put the things on the ground in front of the refrigerator.

"woo meow~"

The black cat was taking a nap at the cat climbing frame, when it saw him coming back, it opened its sleepy eyes, called him softly, and then continued to doze off again.

"That's right, Yusuke."

Hui, who came up on his heels, squatted down beside him, and took out a box of fresh sashimi from the shopping bag.

"I remember Mr. Yoshida lives next door to you, right? Can you take this box of yellowtail sashimi to him?"

"Eh, for Yoshida-san...?"

Kato Yusuke couldn't help being taken aback, while Kei nodded slightly.

"Well~~ After all, the portion we bought is enough to eat, and the sashimi can't be kept for a long time, so I think it's better to share some with others, what do you think?"

"Is that so..."

Kato Yusuke loosened his shoulders slightly, "Well, I think this kind of thinking is very thoughtful, so I'll go now."

To be honest, if he was the only one, he would invite Yoshida out for dinner at most, and rarely think about these aspects.

However, when You Hui is by his side, the other party can always think of his lack of consideration, and carefully fill in the gaps for him, especially in a comprehensive manner.

While thinking about this, he walked to the entrance with a sashimi.

When he was about to change his shoes, the scene in front of him made him stop unconsciously.

—two pairs of shoes, including the one he had casually taken off a few minutes ago, were neatly laid out facing out.

Kato Yusuke subconsciously looked back into the house, the girl was constantly putting ingredients into the freezer and freezer of the refrigerator, her movements were full of skill.

'Is this really a high school girl?Even a housewife is nothing more than that...'

He couldn't help thinking, then put on his shoes and went out to the next door.

ding dong~

After pressing the doorbell and waiting for a few seconds, the owner's face quickly appeared behind the door.

"Huh, Kato...?"

As if he didn't expect to meet him, Yoshida showed a puzzled expression.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Yoshida, are you taking a nap?"

"No, I'm not sleeping."

"That's good."

Kato Yusuke nodded slightly, and handed out the thing in his hand, "If you don't mind, this is for you."

"Huh? What is this??"

"I went out shopping with Kei today, and I bought too much yellowtail sashimi, so I brought you a box."

"--Uh……?"

Yoshida scratched his hair hesitantly, and asked, "Is this okay?"

"It's nothing, anyway, we seldom cook, so you can take it for dinner."

"That's it... okay, then I'm not going to be polite."

"By the way." Kato Yusuke thought for a while, and asked again: "Mei will cook at my house later, do you want to have dinner together tonight?"

Yoshida was taken aback when he heard the words, then shook his head and declined.

"Not yet, thank you for your kindness, but I won't bother."

Kato Yusuke could hear the determination in his tone, but he didn't force it, so he went back to the room after chatting with him for a few words.

Unknowingly, the girl had finished sorting out the things she bought, and was standing in front of the sink cleaning the ingredients.

Probably for convenience, the person concerned took off the windbreaker coat and scarf, and rolled up the sleeves of the shirt above the elbows, revealing two soft white forearms.

"Ah, welcome back, Yusuke."

Hui wiped her hands with a dry towel, and asked naturally, "How is it? Have you seen Mr. Yoshida?"

"Well, I saw it, and he also accepted the things, saying that he is very grateful."

Kato Yusuke glanced at the counter while talking, all kinds of washed seasonal vegetables were being drained in the basket, and the whole piece of chicken thigh was soaked in the metal basin next to it, as if it was removing blood.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"No, I'll take it slowly, you can do other things or take a nap."

"is this okay……?"

"I don't think it's nothing. After all, there is still plenty of time. I plan to prepare the broth first, which will take about two hours. Besides..."

Kei leaned against the cabinet a little bit, and looked at him with her head tilted.

"Although you seem to be okay, but no matter what, you have been working hard for a week, so it's better to take a rest?"

There was a hint of concern in her tone, showing concern about his physical condition.

Kato Yusuke thought about it, and decided to accept her kindness.

"Well...then I'll be in the room, call me when you need help."

After the girl said yes softly, he came to the bed and sat down on the carpet.

The west slanting sun shines into the house from outside the window, bringing a warmer light than usual.

In the field of vision, the single ponytail tied up was swaying.

The warm light shone on the silky hair, and the shadow of the T-shirt drying on the balcony danced lightly on the girl.

The room is rendered with a strong personal color.

Methodically, Hui continued to cook.

Boil water in a pot, cut kombu into proper width.

After the water boils, add kombu and bonito flakes in turn, and cook on low heat.

Finely chop the garlic and onion, shred the cabbage and set aside.

Cut the chicken thighs into small pieces, add the sauce and cover with plastic wrap to marinate.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

Gulp, gulp, gulp.

Swish, swish, swish.

As if incarnated as a conductor, the beautiful notes danced in the hands of the girl, echoing leisurely in the room as if full of life.

Kato Yusuke stared at the slender figure from behind, listening to the melody of cooking, his heart felt at ease.

The hazy afternoon breeze swayed gently, and the trees were dozing comfortably.

The faintly breathing flames on the stove were glowing with waves of gentle undulations.

The kitchen knife made a "dong dong" sound on the cutting board.

Everything comes together to form an extremely ordinary and extremely beautiful afternoon.

Sleepiness gradually struck, Kato Yusuke's eyelids became heavier and heavier.

He shook his body unconsciously, his consciousness was pulled by reality and dream, and he stepped into dreamland.

……

— click, click.

When Kato Yusuke opened his eyes in a daze, the surroundings were already orange-red.

In the room shrouded in twilight, the girl was sitting at the table with her legs bent, the cold light of the laptop reflected on her face.

The short and medium-length black hair flowed like high-grade silk, the skin with almost no make-up was easily broken, and the slender eyelashes cast a faint shadow under the warm sunshine.

That scene is even more unreal than the sunset at this moment, but it is inexplicably profound.

"benefit……?"

Kato Yusuke muttered in a daze, sitting up straight with the support of the bed.

rustle rustle~

A blanket slipped off him.

The next second—

"—Woo meow meow!?"

Accompanied by the abnormal sound from the legs, the blanket that had slipped to the thighs suddenly "lived" and began to struggle violently.

Immediately afterwards, a black figure suddenly jumped out from under the blanket, climbed up the cat climbing frame in the corner, and nestled into the sleeping bag on the top layer.

Kato Yusuke watched this scene in astonishment, not knowing the situation for a while.

But soon, a pleasant voice responded to him.

"Huh~~ Are you awake? Yusuke."

"Uh...? How long have I been asleep?"

"Well, it's five o'clock in the afternoon, you and Xiao Hei have slept for about two hours."

While saying that, Megumin passed a glass of water from the table.

"Anyway, drink some water first, and I'll turn on the light."

"...Ah, thank you."

Kato Yusuke reached out to take the cup and thanked him politely.

Hui casually said that you are welcome, then got up and went to turn on the light.

--Snapped.

The bright yellow light illuminated the room, and Kato Yusuke instinctively squinted his eyes, gradually understanding the situation.

Almost without thinking, he could know that during the time he fell asleep, the other party covered him with a blanket, and as for Xiao Hei, he probably ran over to squeeze with him to keep warm.

He put the blanket on the side, and then said to the girl who returned to the table: "...I'm sorry, I said I would help, but I slept for so long."

"Don't worry about that kind of thing, after all, I told you to go to rest. Compared with this, dinner is ready, do you want to eat now?"

"I don't have any appetite for now, you can eat first."

"Well, I'm not hungry yet, so let's talk about it later."

"Mei, what are you doing with your laptop?"

"Ah, about this."

Generously, Kei turned the laptop screen towards him.

"This is……?"

"Well, it's our game. I copied a copy from Mr. Yoshida, and I want to run the part I've finished so far to see."

Kato Yusuke couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard this.

You know, even he has never done this kind of thing.

However, considering that the girl, as a production manager, basically checks the progress with all the members of the studio every day, it is not surprising that she can get the source code of the program.

He looked at the game interface presented on the screen, and suddenly became interested.

"Well, can I see it too?"

"Well, it's okay with me, then I'll give you the mouse." Hui Xin readily agreed to step aside.

"Thank you."

Kato Yusuke moved to the table, took the mouse, and began to study it.

After 5 minutes, he had a general impression.

——A game demo that is not even a trial version.

There are a lot of blank backgrounds and materials, and there is no sound effect throughout, just like a silent movie.

In the entire Demo, only the text, character portraits and CG have a high degree of completion.

"I see……"

He commented slightly disappointed: "To be honest, there are still too many unfinished parts, so it can't be called a game."

Hearing the frustration in his tone, Hui at the side spoke to comfort him.

"Well~ After all, our overall progress is only 10%, but at least the part that has been completed so far I think is very good.

For example, Yusuke and your original paintings are very beautiful, Kasumigaoka-senpai's text description is beautiful, and Mr. Yoshida's program runs smoothly.

As long as you keep doing it, it will get better gradually. "

Kato Yusuke nodded slowly, and said without interest: "Well, maybe it's just like what you said, I was too hasty."

Seeing that he was still not interested, Kei thought for a while, and then covered the back of his hand holding the mouse with his right hand.

"Hey, Yusuke, look at this."

click-

Accompanied by the click of the mouse, the character on the screen suddenly popped out such a line.

[Fujibayashi Anko: So come on!Yusuke. 】

"--what?"

Kato Yusuke couldn't help being taken aback, "Why, it's my name...?"

He reflexively looked to the left, just in time to meet a smiling face.

"In short, this is our game, you must make it a success~" the girl said, with an inexplicable courage in her soft voice.

Kato Yusuke couldn't help being startled, and after three seconds, he said uncertainly: "You mean our... game...?"

"Is there something wrong?"

Kei tilted her head slightly and looked at him puzzled.

"Do not……"

Kato Yusuke couldn't help showing a wry smile.

"I've just been thinking...whether it's the student union or the studio, am I always influencing you unilaterally, making you choose to accommodate me?"

"what……?"

As if she didn't expect to hear such words from his mouth, Hui blinked her eyes in surprise, and murmured, "Well...couldn't it be, have you always thought of me like this?"

"……Is not it?"

A brief silence.

"—There is no such thing?"

A smile spread across the girl's face, and her expression softened.

"Let me tell you, you have a big misunderstanding. The reason why I joined the student union and studio is out of my own will, and I don't have any forced thoughts."

"why……"

"Well~~ It's too specific for me to explain to you now. In short, in order to find something important to me, I really want to make games now, so you don't need to worry about this."

"Important things..."

Kato Yusuke chanted this word with thoughtful eyes.

However, there was no intention of explaining in the other party's tone, so it was not easy for him to ask, so he had to put the question deep in his heart for the time being.

"Compared to this, let's continue watching the game~"

The girl said, and then clicked the left mouse button again to let the lines continue to scroll.

[Fujibayashi Xing: Speaking of which, that's wrong, right?Yusuke. 】

click-

【Tomoya: What does that mean? 】

"??"

Looking at the lines and names on the screen that don't match the horse's mouth, Kato Yusuke couldn't help casting a puzzled look at Hui.

"~~"

Without saying anything, a wicked smile suddenly appeared on the other party's face, and he pressed the left mouse button again.

[Fujibayashi Xing: That's the one, that one!On New Year's Eve, when I went to Ying Lili's house for the New Year's Eve.The girl twisted her ankle and was carried by her "brother" to walk home at night, plus the sweet love memories of kiss. 】

"—!!"

The moment Kato Yusuke saw the lines clearly, a chill suddenly climbed up his back, making him break out in cold sweat.

— crunch, crunch.

The mouse rubbed against the table, trembling like a groan.

Someone wanted to withdraw his hand reflexively, but was held tightly by the girl.

— click.

[Fujibayashi Xing: Obviously, I felt unhappy when I saw Keiichi and me together before, but I was flirting with the person who claimed to be my sister. How does this count? 】

"Gudu..."

Kato Yusuke swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and looked to the side in fear.

The girl was watching him with a smile, her expression still as gentle as usual.

However, in Kato Yusuke's eyes, that smile made his scalp tingle.

——Like a Shura.
