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

Chapter 640 Escape
After that, everyone continued to play for a while.

Not just a king game, they also played draw cards.

During this period, Ying Lili also began to secretly pay attention to everyone.

According to the news from Shi Yu, she focused on a few objects, and as a result, her wooden fish head really found some things that she had overlooked before.

For example, Xinjoxiang is always paying attention to Kato Yusuke's every move, and will quietly release water when drawing ghost cards, and actively cater to the latter.

Kanoko Hasumi seemed normal, but when Yoshida joined the game and sat down next to her, her first reaction was to lean towards Yusuke Kato, including her sitting posture.

Although some reasons can be found to explain it, that kind of subconscious behavior is still too suspicious!
Hui's reaction was the same as usual, she still treated everyone equally, as if nothing could attract her attention.

But occasionally——!
When she meets Yusuke Kato, she will rarely reveal a faint smile and playfulness.

And the other party seemed to care about Hui very much. Although he hid it well, he obviously paid more attention to Hui than the others.

Especially the silent eye contact between the two, which always reveals an ambiguous tacit understanding, which makes people feel very bored.

All in all, Yinglili finally discovered what Shiwa said.

In retrospect, many things actually had signs from a long time ago.

For example, Xinjoxiang always haunts Kato Yusuke inexplicably,
For example, Hui's weird expression when listening to her talk about troubles,
For example, the esoteric and incomprehensible conversation between Kanoko Hasumi and Kei...

These seemingly ordinary things before, once you think about it deeply, there is something wrong everywhere!
All indications show that - all the things Shi Yu said are true!
Ying Lili was very reluctant to believe this, but with so many clues, she couldn't tolerate her disbelief.

Everyone... is too cunning...!
Whether it's discovering Yusuke... or something else... I'm the one who came first—!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved, she bit her lips involuntarily, and even her ponytails drooped down with her drooping little head, looking a little listless.

But immediately, she thought of Shi Yu again.

The heart is as proud as Shi Yu, what kind of mood does she have to accept other people...?
Although they often quarrel and dislike each other, Yinglili actually agrees with Shiwa in a corner of her heart, and at the same time admires each other's daring to love and hate.

...if only I could be as brave as she is.

——She has had such thoughts more than once.

Immediately afterwards, she suddenly remembered the afternoon when the other party cried alone in the corridor of the student union.

Ying Lili's heart twitched, and she quickly shook her head.

In order to stop herself from thinking about it, she randomly picked up a piece of Scotch chocolate, tore off the tin foil wrapper, threw it into her mouth, and ate it.

At this time, Shiyu and Xiangle really spoke.

"Hey, Sawamura, give me that chocolate too."

"Ah, then I want me too~!"

"--Eh?"

Ying Lili was taken aback by the unexpected conversation between the two, and then she reacted immediately.

"Oh, oh... Here you go, I brought a lot, let the others eat it too."

While saying this, she generously distributed chocolates to everyone.

In the end, except for Yusuke Kato, Yoshida, Kanoko Hasumi and Kei who declined, everyone else got a lot of chocolates.

Sagara Mayu: "Thank you~! This chocolate looks so high-end."

Serizawa Yu: "Mmm~~It's so sweet and delicious!"

Shiyu: "Oh? This chocolate sandwich has a unique taste, it feels pretty good~"

The room was filled with the sound of feasting.

Xintiaoxiang also ate a piece of chocolate, but after she bit it down, the special taste made her frown slightly.

She raised her eyes and looked around calmly, without saying a word, but she didn't eat another piece.

Everyone was eating and drinking while playing cards, laughing non-stop, and the room was filled with joy.

◇

After the game is over, the people who have cleaned up the trash leave the game.

Kato Yusuke and Yoshida went to take a bath together, and walked out of the bath first by himself.

He was going to go straight back to his room, but he received a phone call that changed his mind.

"...Hey, Yu-chan, come to our room right now, Sawamura and I have something to talk to you."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"beep--"

Before he could ask the reason in detail, the call was unilaterally cut off.

Kato Yusuke stared at the phone screen, hesitated, and finally decided to check the situation.

Because Shi Yu also mentioned Ying Lili on the phone, so he wasn't too wary, it was all because the two of them had work matters to tell him.

then--

"Caught it~~!"

"Hehe, make up your mind, Yu-chan~~~"

——When Yusuke Kato knocked on the door and entered the room unsuspectingly, and was pressed to the ground with his hands cut behind his back, and his wrists were tied with a belt, he was completely in a dazed state.

In contrast, two girls, one black and one golden, wore evil smiles with malicious intentions, riding on his back one behind the other.

"--Ok???"

A series of question marks appeared on Kato Yusuke's head.

In fact, with his physical strength as high as 8 points, if he insisted on resisting, no one could suppress him.

It was only because Ying Lili and Shi Yu were the ones who attacked him, in order to prevent accidental injury to them, he did not fight back.

At this moment, he turned his face away, just in time to meet the eyes of the third person shivering in the corner of the wall.

"benefit……??"

"Ah... no~~ um... I stopped it...?"

Kei said tremblingly, and glanced in a certain direction.

Kato Yusuke also followed her gaze, and what caught his eyes was a pile of chocolate wrappers scattered on the tatami.

"...Well~~ Because Ying Lili said that her father bought too many British souvenirs, so they ate them all."

"What……?"

Kato Yusuke made a dull voice, and couldn't understand the connection between the two for a while, then turned his neck and looked behind him.

"All in all, Xiaoshi and Yinglili, can you come down first, this is really indecent——hmm!?"

Before he finished speaking, a piece of chocolate was stuffed deeply into his mouth.

"Yusuke, you idiot, it's too much, woohoo~ it's too much..." Ying Lili cried and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her wet fingers.

"Okay, today you must make it clear, Yu-chan."

Shi Yu leaned out his upper body from behind the former's shoulder, and looked over with drunken eyes, "You have provoked so many women one after another, what are you going to do with us in the future?"

"Why are you so swollen and fat...?"

Kato Yusuke chewed the chocolate vaguely, and when he was about to say something, a strange spicy feeling melted in his mouth.

—that’s pure Scotch whiskey.

He was startled for a moment, then suddenly reacted and swallowed the chocolate whole, and said in surprise:

"No, wait—! Have you guys been eating this all this time!??"

Eriri: "Kuwuwu...that's too much, Yusuke, how could you treat us like that? You've touched someone's leg before, so take responsibility! Uuuu~"

"Hey, stop crying..."

Shi Yu: "Ah~ I always feel dizzy, my body is so hot, and my bathrobe is also in the way, so I should take it off~~"

"—Don't take it off!!"

Kato Yusuke twisted his hands and struggled hard, and the belt that bound his wrist was easily scrapped.In order to escape the two drunk cats, he began to crawl on all fours.

"Woo~ move, move...?"

"Huh~~~? Wait, stop shaking..."

Affected by him, the two girls riding on their backs also began to topple, and finally fell down on the bedding with a "pop".

Kato Yusuke was unmoved by this, he just struggled to get up, and then turned around.

The next moment, his heart skipped a beat.

"Woo! It hurts..."

"Don't push me down, Sawamura."

Ying Lili leaned back on Shi Yu's body, with her head resting on her master's surging and soft chest.

Shi Yu, who couldn't bear the weight, propped her hands on the ground with her skirt half open.

The two were body to body, like falling dominoes.

Under the slightly opened bathrobe, two pairs of youthful jade legs are seductively exposed to the air, showing a large area of ​​snow-white.

The sight in front of him made Yusuke Kato hold his breath, and his eyes subconsciously focused on their legs.

From the beautiful and slender feet, to the slender and charming calves, to the moist and well-proportioned thighs, together with the rosy and radiant skin after bathing, they are like a pair of exquisite works of art, which makes people want to Enjoy carefully.

Kato Yusuke was watching intently, but suddenly his eyes went dark, and Kei's voice sounded from behind in the next second.

"Ah, you can't watch that, Yusuke. It's not okay to take advantage of a girl at a time like this?"

The pale tone was also mixed with resentment and blame that seemed to be absent, and it knocked him back from the fantasy dream of the spring night back to the cold winter.

"Tsk... just a little carelessness, and you want to sneak away again, Kato-san, come here for me."

"Huh~? Huh!"

Following Shiwa's unpleasant questioning, Kei, who was covering Kato Yusuke's eyes, was dragged aside.

Kato Yusuke, who regained his eyesight, took a closer look and saw three girls forming a circle.

Shi Yu: "Come on, let's guess punches."

Hui: "Eh...?"

Ying Lili: "Fair, fair!"

Hui: "Even Ying Lili said that? Well...you don't have to worry about me, I won't participate."

Shiwa: "The prize for winning is Yu-chan's body."

Kato Yusuke: "Ah——!?"

"That...even if Kasumigaoka-senpai says so, getting such a strange prize will only cause headaches."

Kei glanced at Kato Yusuke as she spoke, while Eriri expressed resentment:

"Megumi, you are so cunning, I was the first to come, how could you snatch Yusuke away from him... woo woo~"

"That... let's not talk about the priority, Ying Lili, you don't need to press the switch of your inner trauma?"

"--all in all."

Shiyu rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let's have a showdown, Kato-san."

Ignoring Yu Hui's resistance, the two women just dragged her into the battle.

Kato Yusuke compared the legs of the three of them in his mind with a solemn expression, while thinking indifferently——

——Women's desire to win is terrible.

……

The farce continued until the early hours of the morning.

Shi Yu and Ying Lili couldn't resist the attack of drunkenness, they both fell asleep.

After the two of them settled down, Kato Yusuke and Kei decided to go for a walk outside.

Knock, knock~
The crisp clogs knocked on the stone road at midnight.

Kato Yusuke looked at the girl beside him.

"Sorry, Hui, to trouble you, I should have found out about the chocolate problem earlier."

"Well - there's nothing you can do about it, after all, Yusuke, you didn't eat it before, so it's not your fault.

What's more, anyway, I was the one who won the boxing game in the end, so it's great that the situation didn't get worse~"

"... I don't deny this, but since you already knew the problem, couldn't you think of a solution earlier?"

"Hey~~~~~?" Hui raised a long voice with a face of resistance: "No, I want to make a move in that situation."

"Speaking of which, is the injury on your foot all right?"

"Well~~Thanks to Yusuke for your help, it doesn't matter anymore."

"Is that so..."

The two walked side by side on the quiet path outside, and there were rustling sounds from both sides.

Kato Yusuke raised his head and found that it was the wind blowing through the lush bamboo forest, making the leaves rubbing against each other.

There are countless bamboos here, and they grow very tall, leaning against each other to form a long tunnel.

The bright moonlight leaks in through the gaps in the bamboo forest, and with the lanterns and fences dotted on both sides, the whole path exudes a cool atmosphere.

A cold early spring wind howled past.

Kato Yusuke thought for a while, took off his haori coat, and put it on Kei.

"Yusuke...?"

"The temperature is a bit low at night, be careful to catch a cold."

"But, I already have one?"

"Then add one more, it's safer."

"how about you?"

"I am fine."

Hui tilted his head to look at him, with a faint warm smile on his face, and then raised his left hand, "Although this probably won't help, but do you want to hold hands?"

"……it is good."

Kato Yusuke smiled and nodded, holding that hand decisively.

The two continued to move forward, passing the lanterns at equal intervals, and walked to the deepest part of the bamboo forest.

"Thinking about it carefully, I seem to have made money."

"what?"

Kato Yusuke sighed, his breath was like the temperature of a spring night that suddenly turns warm and then cold, "It's very profitable to exchange a coat for you to take the initiative to hold hands."

Hui's footsteps couldn't help but stagnate, so he was half a step behind him, but he immediately raised his heels and said in a calm manner:

"...Only you, Yusuke, can say such things."

"Sound stupid?"

"It's not like that..."

Hui narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the dark mountains in the distance, and gently squeezed his hand.

"It's just... for an ordinary girl like me, this is the first time someone has said this to me."

Kato Yusuke looked at her thoughtfully, and pondered: "...To be honest, I'm actually nothing special."

"Hey, Yusuke are you?"

"Ah."

Hui tilted his head slightly and thought for a while, as if he understood what he meant.

"If you mean the time when you first entered school, maybe it is true...but that's because you are relatively low-key?"

"Low key... huh..."

"Hmm~! But I'm different from you, Yusuke. If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet you, I would probably still be a little transparent at school until now."

"Nothing like that, I think Kei is special."

"Really? You obviously didn't remember my name at first?"

Kato Yusuke was stunned, and immediately remembered the situation when the two met at the beginning, and couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Sorry, I was busy with part-time work at that time, and I didn't care much about the affairs in the class. I only had two friends, Yamaguchi and Takei, by my side. I didn't intend to ignore you. I apologize to you."

"Well, I know."

Hui pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes flashing with memories.

"Speaking of which, perhaps I should thank Mr. Nakamura for this matter. If he hadn't asked me to lend you my notebook, Yusuke would never have noticed me, right?"

"No... I'm never going to do that, right? But... It seems that we did start by borrowing notebooks in the first place."

"Well~~I always feel so nostalgic. Taking the opportunity of borrowing the notebook, Yusuke, you noticed my existence, and then brought me to see more people and things. I am really happy."

"That statement is exaggerated."

"Ah~ But, I still like the ordinary Yusuke back then. Although you are also you now, it was more like the place where we formed a bond."

As if she had opened up a chatterbox, the girl smiled and said a lot of things that she had never said before.

"I always remember the day you blocked a baseball for me on the playground, I remember the day you helped me get justice, I remember the day you asked me to be a referee, I remember the day you stood on the stage and gave a speech... I remember many, many of us things."

She paused at this point, and then uttered the last sentence like a chant.

"—and then...I probably will never, never forget."

As soon as the voice fell, silence spread.

Kato Yusuke stared at her beautiful side face, speechless for a moment.

It was as if the heart door was suddenly opened, and the gust of wind poured in endlessly.

"That kind of girl...what do you like about her?"——Shiyu's question rang in his ear, but he couldn't answer it at that time.

But at this moment, he seems to have finally found what he likes about Hui.

There are many people around him, and everyone has their own reasons for liking him.But more or less, that is inseparable from the things brought to him by the system and rebirth.

Without the blessing of painting skills, he would not have had the opportunity to connect with Ying Lili.

If he didn't have the advantage brought by rebirth, he wouldn't be favored by Shi Yu-senpai.

Of course, this is just his one-sided idea.

Whether it's Eirari or Shiwa-senpai, neither of them are the type to fall in love with someone for a simple reason.

But it is undeniable that that is indeed an opportunity for them to have an intersection.

If such an opportunity is lacking, they may find other reasons for the intersection, or they may still remain as "ordinary classmates" until now.

However, what Keizo is looking at is always the original him, and has nothing to do with anything else.

Kato Yusuke took a deep breath, feeling his heart beating powerfully for a long time.

At this time, Hui suddenly dropped his hand and trotted forward.

Knock dong~knock dong~
The wooden clogs make a pleasant melody.

"Hey, Yusuke~"

The girl raised her head abruptly, looked up at the clear night sky with twinkling stars, and breathed out a breath mixed with a faint white mist.

"It would be great if our game can be produced smoothly~"

Kato Yusuke nodded slowly, and responded warmly: "Well, it will definitely be possible."

As if to welcome the wind blowing towards tomorrow, Hui lightly spread her arms, and there was a rare trace of enthusiasm in the pure tone.

"Xia COMI, it would be great if I can catch up.

It would be nice if our game could be played by many people.

It’s good that everyone can have fun~”

The night wind gradually weakened, the branches and leaves no longer rustled, as if the entire bamboo forest was pricking up its ears to listen to her voice.

Kato Yusuke's expression became more gentle, and he said softly, "Well, that's right."

Hui turned around with a smile, turned his back to the rolling mountains, and met his eyes.

There was fantasy in her eyes, which looked extraordinarily shining and beautiful in this dark night.

"Spring~ is almost here."

"Yeah, it's coming soon."

"Hey, Yusuke, have you heard a word?"

"What?"

Kato Yusuke turned his face in confusion, waiting for an answer.

The flickering lights in the distance illuminate Baihua Lake, like stars falling on the ground, flowing lazily through the corner of the night.

In the tunnel formed by the bamboo forest, there is a white and blue light.

The girl stood quietly on the spot, with her hands behind her back, and she lowered her eyes steadily, "That sentence is, spring is the reverse of autumn~?"

Kato Yusuke followed her all the time, stepped on the dead leaves under his feet without saying a word, and stopped in front of her.

Facing the beautiful eyes of the other party looking up, he slowly said the second half of the sentence: "... Well, good night is the continuation of loving you."

He didn't know what his situation was.

But at that moment, there seemed to be galaxies in Hui's eyes.

The girl slightly opened her lips and closed them again, with a slight smile on her face, then looked down at her toes, and nodded her head slightly.

"...Well, that's right."

The hustle and bustle of the bamboo forest, the clear moonlight, and the gurgling lake water in the crevices of the stones seem to have become understandable language.

"benefit……"

Kato Yusuke murmured and hugged her shoulders, couldn't help stretching out his right hand to gently touch her cheek, the love in his heart was almost overflowing.

"Ah, and~"

As if remembering something, Hui suddenly raised her head and took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket, "Here, Yusuke, do you want to eat?"

"...Huh? Isn't that the chocolate that Eriri brought...?"

"Well, she gave me a piece too, but I didn't eat it."

Kato Yusuke didn't understand what she meant, and gave her a questioning look.

"...What about that~ Let me ask you, Yusuke."

Hui looked at him with ambiguous eyes, and said, "Did you have fun when you played Pocky with Ying Lili?"

"--ah??"

Kato Yusuke's expression froze, and he froze in place.

He really didn't understand why Hui always gave himself a stick at some unexpected times.

The girl couldn't help being amused by his reaction, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.With a little slyness, Hui tore open the package of chocolate in his hand.

"...Since you like the Pocky game so much, do you want to play it again?"

"……what?"

"This chocolate, let's share half of it~"

Kato Yusuke was taken aback, "...Half for one person?"

"Well, as for the rules... whoever dodges first is the loser?"

Megumin put the chocolate into his mouth as he spoke, bit one end and raised his jaw, closed his eyes and waited quietly.

Kato Yusuke looked at the chocolate, which was no more than two knuckles long, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down involuntarily.

Without hesitation, he lowered his head and bit the other end, and started eating.

Crack, clack, clack, clack.

The distance between the two gradually shortened, and finally their lips met naturally, but they did not separate.

Kei opened her eyes and stared at him from a very close distance before stepping back.

"…………that."

She raised her hand to cover her lips, looked at the fence beside her with a blushing face, and said in an ordinary tone with a hint of erratic:
"...Hmm~~ The taste of this chocolate is very subtle, no wonder everyone eats it so much..."

Kato Yusuke didn't speak at all, he held her small face illuminated by the moonlight and lights with both hands, and looked at her affectionately.

"...Yusuke..."

Hui couldn't bear the look in his eyes, and said with a hint of panic, "That... the game is over, huh?"

"continue."

"what……?"

Kato Yusuke lowered his head again, kissed her delicate lips tenderly, hooked her timidity, moved in inch by inch, and started to plunder.

Chocolate and girly sweetness melt in the mouth, and the whiskey sandwich flows on the tip of the tongue, making the brain a little drunk.

The dark night magnifies each other's senses, and the love becomes stronger.

The sound of heartbeat, breathing and faint wind are intertwined.

The melting moonlight painted their outlines.

In the light of the little lanterns, their shadows slanted a black shadow on the fence, shaking slightly.

In the secluded bamboo forest that no one visits, the fingers of the two are tightly intertwined, as if they were forgotten in the corner of the world, just kissing tirelessly.

……
