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

Chapter 634 Associations and Volunteers

"Ah, here comes Mami."

Looking at the blond hot girl walking slowly, Muzi said so.

Sayu also reacted to the latter's unintentional words, and solemnly hung her hands in front of her body, leaned forward and said hello.

Mami looked her over from head to toe indiscriminately, and then turned her gaze to Muzi's face.

"Xiao Muzi, is this girl your friend?"

"No, this one is here to find Xiaoxiang, she is...uh..."

"It's the first time I've met you. My name is Sayu Ogihara. Please give me your advice."

Sayu relieved Muzi with a wink, and took advantage of the opportunity to introduce herself, making Muzi smile happily.

"That's it~ It's nice to meet you, Xiao Sayu. I'm Muzi. I'm running away from home and I'm here to help you. Please give me your advice."

"Uh, yes... Huh—??"

"Ah~ Is it my turn next? I'm Yuki Asami, and I'm volunteering with the association. Please give me your advice, Sayu."

"Sayu-sister... um, ah, yes, Miss Yuki."

"It's funny, why are you so polite? Just call me Mami and I'll be ok~"

"Ah, yes... ah, um."

Seeing Sayu nodding again and again, Asami grinned in satisfaction, and turned her attention to Muzi again.

"By the way, Muzi, I'm back from buying ingredients. I'm sorry for making you wait so long, I'll help you prepare delicious dishes now~"

"Well... I'm not qualified to be picky, so I will trouble you, and I will silently cheer for Mami."

"Hey, don't you make it seem like I'm a poor handicraft when you say that."

"No, I'm already very grateful for the free food. I'm sorry for causing so much trouble to everyone. Even if I get the 'dish' from yesterday, I will eat it all with gratitude."

"Everyone said yesterday was just an accident! I'm fully prepared today, so don't worry."

"Thank you, I will look forward to it..."

Muzi showed an expression half suspicious and half worried, and said, "Then I'll go back to my room first... By the way, little Sayu, do you want to come in and sit down?"

"Ah, Muzi, you can go alone. I have something to ask Sister Sayu, so I borrowed her first."

"what……?"

"Well, I see, then see you later, little Sayu."

"Okay... Goodbye, Miss Muzi."

After Muzi returned to the house, Mami led Sayu up to the second floor and led her into room "202".

"Come on, please come in. Although this is someone else's room, the owner said that you can use it as you like, so don't be cautious."

"...Thanks for the trouble."

"Saiyu, what do you want to drink? Here are water, oolong tea and apple juice, choose one."

"Uh, then I'll just ask for water."

"Understood, then you sit down first, and I will pour the water for you after I put the things I bought in the kitchen."

"OK, thanks."

Until then, Sayu had the leisure to look around.

This is a single apartment about the same size as the downstairs.

There is a faint girl's fragrance in the air.

A pink single bed, a desk with folders and books, a black sailor suit hanging on the wall, and a bedside table with photo frames.

"what……"

Sayu unconsciously made a sound.

The picture above is a group photo of two girls.

One is Xinjoxiang with a look of disgust, and the other is a girl who is smiling very happily.

"Oh~ That's Xiao Xi, who is also the owner of this room."

"……what?"

"I'm talking about the girl on the right in the photo, Sayu, aren't you staring at me?"

"Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to pry into other people's privacy."

"It's okay, it's okay, Xiao Xi won't care about these things."

Mami waved her hands and said, she sat down cross-legged carelessly, "Come, give you water."

"OK, thanks……"

Sayu took the glass politely, drank it in small sips, and gradually moistened the dry throat.

She rushed here from the coffee shop in a hurry, and after chatting with Muzi for so long, she was already very thirsty.

It was only because of the concern in her heart that she temporarily ignored the physical discomfort and did not relax until now.

"So, what is the relationship between you and Xiaoxiang, sister Sayu? A classmate at school... shouldn't it be?"

"Ah, no, I was just taken care of by Ms. Xintiao before. We are not classmates, I should go to college already..."

"Huh? Are you a college student??"

"Well... But I just finished the exam, so I have to wait for the results to know."

"What, it's so funny, ahaha!"

"Uh...is it funny?"

Sayu smiled awkwardly.

It was the first time she came into contact with this kind of hot girl, and she didn't know how to react for a while.

Mami pointed at herself, and said in an exaggerated tone:
"That's right, because I just finished my college exams too. So, are we both the same age? How old are you, Sayu?"

"18 is old."

"Laugh! It's really the same! It means that you are dressed like a high school student, which almost caused me to misunderstand."

"Hmm... Miss Asami is also a candidate for this year?"

"That's right~ Then, which schools did you apply for?"

"It's Zaoying University and Aoyama Gakuin University..."

"Zaoying and Qingxue! Is it true?"

Mami suddenly stopped, and asked with rounded eyes.

"It's true."

"It's actually true, what a dick! Sister Sayu, you are so dick."

"……is that so?"

Sayu shrank her body unconsciously, echoing vaguely.

Mami came up to her all at once, patted her on the shoulder enthusiastically, and nodded.

"Oh, we might become classmates in the future, what a coincidence! Sister Sayu."

"Huh... classmate?"

"That's right~ After all, two of my preferred universities are the same as yours, and this year's exam questions at Dongda University are so difficult, I'm probably out of luck."

"Dongda..."

"Well, that's my first choice. Ah, you seem surprised. Despite my appearance, I'm actually doing well in school."

"Ah, uh... sorry."

"There's no need to apologize, it's a rare opportunity, Sayu, you can stay for dinner too, I'll make preparations."

"No...how can this be, that's too embarrassing."

"Okay, okay, everyone said you don't have to be so polite. Anyway, I was going to help Muzi prepare dinner, and one more person is just a matter of convenience. Let's chat for a while~"

Mami said involuntarily, giving no chance of rejection at all.

however--

When Sayu watched the other party striding to the kitchen, took out the cooking packets of beef curry and chicken curry from the plastic bag in the supermarket, and asked her enthusiastically which flavor she likes...

"Uh... Asami, the delicious food you told Miss Muzi before, shouldn't this be the one...?"

"Ahaha, because Muzi complained about the cooking I made yesterday, so I had to choose this kind of safe brand today. Don't you like curry?"

"No, it's not that I don't like it..."

Sayu smiled wryly and shook her head, thought for a while and said, "Well, I actually know a little bit about cooking, so let me help if you don't mind?"

"Oh~! Can you?"

"Yes, it's okay. I was the one who interrupted you first, so I'm really embarrassed to just sit like this."

"Okay, then please help me."

……

Ever since, Asami saw the amazing proficiency of knife skills.

"Okay, that's amazing...!"

"Where, anyone can do this as long as they practice for a while."

"Sister Sayu, you are quite humble. I have nothing I can do to help you."

"Nothing like that, I wouldn't be able to do anything without the ingredients you bought, Mami."

"You don't need to comfort me. Speaking of which, Sister Sayu, you said that you came to find Xiaoxiang, right?"

"Yes, but since I haven't contacted her beforehand, she doesn't seem to be there."

"That's right, they just went to Chino City to sleep together yesterday, and they probably won't come back until the day after tomorrow. It's too unfortunate that you came."

"It seems so..."

"So, what do you want to do with her?"

The movement of Sayu's hands paused slightly, and he said vaguely: "Well... I have a little private matter and I want to ask Miss Xinjo."

"That's it."

Mami responded noncommittally, and didn't ask any further questions, but said with a smile: "Well, anyway, thanks to Sayu, my work seems to be able to be completed smoothly."

"Work……?"

"Well! It's the work of volunteers, didn't I mention it?"

"Volunteers...do you mean cooking for Miss Muzi?"

"That's right~ This is part of the association's work, and there are other recording tasks."

【association】

Hearing this word again, Sayu couldn't help asking.

"Well, Mami, what do you mean by association?"

"Well—to put it simply, it's an organization that provides help to girls who are in trouble, right?"

"what……?"

"It means you have seen Xiao Muzi downstairs, right? She is the one we are helping now."

"Uh...but, didn't Miss Muzi say that she ran away from home? Aren't you friends?"

"No, we just take her here and provide her with board and lodging."

"what……?"

Sayu couldn't help being taken aback, and unconsciously blurted out: "What about taking in, isn't that kind of thing illegal?"

Mami laughed and kept waving her hands.

"Generally speaking, that's the case, but our side is legal because it's recognized by the government~"

"Sorry, I still don't quite understand... Is there such a custom in Tokyo?"

"Ahaha, no no no, this has nothing to do with Tokyo or anything, didn't Xiaoxiang tell you?"

"Miss Xintiao?"

Sayu turned her head in wonder, with a confused look on her face.

She clearly remembered that when that person brought her here last time, he said that this was the place of Xintiaoxiang.

And the latter didn't explain it to her later, and she was immersed in a sad atmosphere at the time, and she didn't have any extra thoughts to ask about these insignificant things.

Because of this, she has always regarded this place as Xinjoxiang's apartment.

however……

"Hmm! Our "OSY" Association is an organization that provides help to girls in need of God. "

Asami explained carefully:

"Xiaoxiang and Xiaoxi are official members of the association. I am a volunteer who has just arrived here, and Muzi is the object of help. Do you understand?"

"Is that so..."

Sayu nodded her head slowly, muttering in her mouth.

OSY Association, OSY Association, OSY Association.

This string of awkward and meaningless words sounds both serious and funny, exuding a somewhat magical atmosphere.

'It's almost like writing my name...'

She couldn't help shaking her head amusedly, and took a small breath.

"Thank you for your explanation, Mami, I understand."

"It's just a little thing, don't worry about it."

"Excuse me, can I ask another question?"

"Problem? Well, just say it."

"Since it's to help Miss Muzi prepare dinner, wouldn't it be more convenient to actually cook at her side?"

"—That won't work."

"Eh?"

For some reason, Mami, who was smiling just now, suddenly became serious, her slightly slender eyes showing a bit of solemnity.

"Actually, Xiao Muzi's situation is a bit special, so she can't cook downstairs...or in other words, it doesn't have the conditions to cook there."

Sayu remained silent and let her continue talking.

"It means Xiao Muzi, don't look at her as an ordinary person, but she has suffered psychological trauma because of her family relationship, and she will do things that hurt herself from time to time, so we take away all knives and other things gone."

"what……?"

The unexpected speech made Sayu stunned, but Mami raised her hands and pointed to her forearms on both sides, her tone became low.

"Have you seen the long-sleeved dress Xiao Muzi wears? The scars hidden under her sleeves are like centipedes with long legs. She made them all by herself."

"Cheat...?"

Sayu said in astonishment, her amber pupils slightly widened.

She tried to imagine that scene, only to feel a chill rushing down her spine, and her body tensed unconsciously.

Seeing her nervousness, Mami patted her shoulder gently.

"Don't worry, Xiao Muzi is normal most of the time, and we have also invited a doctor to treat her regularly, so it's okay."

After comforting her, Mami went on to say:
"Anyway, I'll leave it to you here. I'll sort out today's purchase receipts. If you need any help, just call me."

"Ah... ok."

Sandy nodded and agreed, watching the other party go to the desk and sit down, and took out a binder to work.

"It turns out that this is also work..."

she couldn't help thinking, before turning her attention to cooking too.

……

After half an hour, dinner was ready smoothly.

After sending a portion to Muzi, the two of them also started to eat together.

"It's delicious! What the hell is this? It's so delicious! Sayu, are you a chef? It's so delicious!"

After taking a bite of food, Asami's eyes widened in astonishment, chattering like a machine gun.

Sayu responded slightly cautiously:
"I'm sorry, because I don't have many kinds of ingredients at home, so I only made omurice. Is this okay?"

"Awesome, this is really delicious! It seems to be better than Xiaoxi's craftsmanship! You are too strong!"

"is that so?"

"Of course! This omelet rice is the best food I have ever eaten today, super happy!"

Asami patted her thigh exaggeratedly, and she was not stingy with compliments, which made Sayu feel a little embarrassed.

Although she couldn't say why, she unexpectedly didn't hate the other person's personality, and she faintly felt nostalgic.

The two chatted while eating, the same age and status made them get along naturally with a sense of intimacy.

When Sayu said that she also stayed downstairs for one night before, Mami asked more curiously.

"Hey, Sayu sister, have you ever run away from home? Is it because you have a bad relationship with your family?"

The temperature of the other party's question is very strange. It's not that she is very interested in her, but it's not that she lacks interest but still asks for a while, but the feeling of "although I am interested, I will keep asking questions in a moderate manner".

Sayu thought so, with a natural smile on her face.

"It's not like that. I haven't done such a rebellious thing. It's just that there was some special reason at the time, so someone took me here for one night."

"That's it~ Since you said "others", it means it's not Xiaoxiang and Xiaoxi, right? "

"Well, not them."

"Hey, in that case..."

Mami snorted, paused and said, "The only person who brought you here is Katozai?"

"--Eh?"

Sayu's heartbeat suddenly missed half a beat, she raised her head abruptly, and asked with her lips whispering, "That...the name..."

"Name? Ah, you mean Kato Tsai? That's my neighbor, a super handsome guy, and the founder of this organization. You may have heard his name, he is—"

"——Kato Yusuke."

The loud scrambling sound resounded throughout the room, making Mami's shoulders tremble.

"Wow, I was scared to death. Why are you so excited? Are you also his fan?"

"..."

Sayu bit her lip tightly and remained silent.

OSY Association, OSY Association, OSY Association.

The heart beat hard.

"…………fraud."

"Eh? Sayu sister, what are you talking about?"

"Ah...no, I'm not talking about Mami you..."

"Is it……?"

Mami frowned, and agreed with doubts.

"...Well, Mami, it's a bit presumptuous, but may I ask?"

"what?"

Sayu took a deep breath and sat up straight, "I want you to tell me, what should I do if I want to stay here as a volunteer?"

"Volunteer..."

Mami narrowed her eyes slightly, pondered for a moment and said:

"Well, in fact, I didn't encounter any obstacles when I came here. I just met Xiaoxiang and Xiaoxi and passed it smoothly, so I think I should contact Xiaoxiang for this kind of thing."

"Is that so... Sorry, I'm going outside to make a call."

"OK~ Remember to wear your coat, it's very cold outside."

"Ok."

Sayu nodded gratefully, rushed to the entrance with her phone and coat, then put on her coat and shoes and walked outside.

After confirming that the door was closed, she called Xintiaoxiang.

……

When she finished the call and returned to the room, Mami had already finished her omelet rice and was lazily leaning on a cloth bag sofa to digest.

"How is it? Have you contacted Xiaoxiang?"

"Well... I have contacted."

Sayu breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on her little red face from the cold wind, she sniffed and said, "Miss Xinjo said yes."

"That's it, that's fine."

Mami nodded indifferently, and pointed to the plate on the table.

"By the way, because you called for too long and the omelet rice was cold, so I warmed it up in the microwave for you, eat it quickly~"

"Eh? Ah, um, thank you."

"You're welcome~"

Sayu went to the table and sat down, looked at the omelet in front of him and the other person's face alternately, couldn't help but said: "That... Mami, don't you ask me why?"

"Reason...? Do you mean why you want to join the association?"

"..."

Sayu silently nodded without saying a word.

Mami looked sideways at her meaningfully, and grinned, "There's nothing to ask about that kind of thing, right?"

"……what?"

"Anyway, you are probably because of Kato Tsai's relationship? Do you want to get the moon first?"

"Ah, that, I'm actually..."

"Okay, okay, I was just joking just now, you don't need to be so nervous, calm down."

"Oh……"

"Besides, I don't really care whether it's for Katozai or something else. Just do what you want, Sayu-chan."

"Is that so..."

Mami raised her body with a "hey~" and said with a smile:

"Oh, I don't know why. Even though Sayu and I just met for the first time today, I still feel very nostalgic, as if we have known each other for a long time."

Sayu tilted her head slightly, thought for a while and said, "You mean hitting it off?"

"That's right! That's it! Hit it off~!"

Asami laughed heartily, and held out a hand.

"I always feel that we might become good friends, let's get to know each other again~ I'm Yuki Asami, please give me more advice from now on, Sayu."

Sayu looked at the hand stretched out in front of her, blinked her eyes twice cutely, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Well, what's the matter? Did I say something strange?"

"Aha... no, it's not like that..."

Sayu laughed so that her shoulders trembled, then raised her head and covered her mouth and said, "I just think it's really funny that Mami suddenly speaks in such a serious tone."

Hearing what she said, Mami couldn't help showing a bad expression on her face, her cheeks turned red visibly, and immediately slapped her on the shoulder in embarrassment.

"Stupid! Why are you laughing! It's so annoying!"

"Sorry sorry~"

Sayu couldn't help waving her hands, trying to calm down her emotions, then put away her smile and stretched out a hand.

"...Sorry, let's do it again. My name is Ogiwara Sayu. Nice to meet you. Please give me your advice in the future, Mami."

Mami scratched her hair in displeasure, and muttered, "Really, it would have been nice if you had said so earlier."

At the age of 18, this winter when the third year of high school ended.

The two hands were clasped together.
