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

Chapter 653 I Only Believe in Man-made Things

The day after the three of Shiwa came to the house, Yusuke Kato accepted Kei's invitation to buy.

Like some kind of convention, the two went to the supermarket to buy a lot of ingredients as usual, and then returned to his apartment.

At dusk, the sky was just getting dark.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled slightly, shining on the quiet residential area, laying out a hazy color, dyeing everything around in soft tones.

At the door of the room, a slender figure was still sitting there quietly.

Kato Yusuke stopped in his tracks, a look of complexity flashed across his eyes.

"Welcome back, Yusuke."

As if nothing happened yesterday, Sayu greeted him with a smile, and then turned her eyes to Kei who was aside.

"Also, are you Miss Kato? Good evening."

Slowly, Hui responded with his usual easy-going tone.

"...Well, good evening, Ogiwara-san."

In the quiet corridor, the two girls looked at each other, their brown and black hair fluttering in the breeze.

Today Sayu is wearing a loose white sweater, a pair of slim-fit jeans, the trouser legs are close to her slender ankle, and a pair of canvas shoes on her feet.

She dresses up simply and casually, with clean and smooth hair and a lovely appearance, showing the youth and vitality of a girl, sweet and moving.

In contrast, Hui is wearing a light pink coat with a white shirt inside, a light gray pleated skirt on the lower body, slender and well-proportioned legs protruding from under the skirt, and a pair of fresh white sportswear on her feet shoe.

She wears a ponytail, revealing her delicate neck, and a lady's brown leather bag is slung across her shoulders.The overall shape is warm, comfortable and stylish, making people feel very comfortable.

Kato Yusuke looked at them, and after a long silence, he said, "...Okay, Megumin, let's go in."

"Well……?"

Kei glanced at him first, then looked at Sayu again, and turned her head slightly in thought.

"Um~ I always feel like this is not good. Otherwise, Miss Ogiwara, would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"

""what? ""

Facing this speech, the two people made their voices in unison.

"Because, instead of letting Ms. Ogiwara sit outside, I think it would be better for you, Yusuke, to chat with her. If you don't want to talk anyway..."

Hui pondered for a while and said, "Then how about just drinking a cup of tea?"

"..."

Kato Yusuke frowned, his lips squirmed, and finally dropped his shoulders in abandon, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Megumin showed him a gentle and slightly apologetic smile, then walked to the door of the room, and saluted Sato who stood up involuntarily.

"Then please wait a moment~ I will open the door now."

"--what?"

Hearing this, Sayu, who was staring at Kato Yusuke in surprise, turned her head quickly.

Then, she saw Hui take out a key case from the bag she was carrying, choose one of many keys and open the door directly.

"Okay, then please come in~Miss Ogiwara." The other party said with a smile, and asked her to enter first.

However, Sayu just watched this scene dumbfounded, unable to calm down at all.

--Why? ?

The brain began to rotate instinctively, and questions emerged one after another.

Why, this girl has the key to Yusuke's house?

Why, this girl can influence Yusuke's decision?

Why, this girl can get something that other people don't have?
Sayu stared closely at the inconspicuous key, her eyes moved, and she frowned subconsciously.

She has come here every day to welcome Kato Yusuke home, and this is the first time she has seen someone own the key to his house.

And judging from the opponent's familiar door opening action, it was obviously not the first time such a thing had been done.

In addition, the key was collected in a private key bag, so it was never obtained temporarily, but a spare key that belonged to this family that had been held for a long time.

Sayu realized the difference in an instant, and unconsciously pursed her lips tightly, a panic that was hard to describe in words surged in her heart.

She obviously didn't care about Shiyu's harsh words yesterday, but now she saw Kei who kindly invited her into the room, but felt a strong shock and shake.

Kato Yusuke, who was on the side, never spoke, as if he had completely handed over the right to choose and decide, even though it might allow the "excluded self" to enter the room.

Sayu felt that she was facing an important decision, as if she had come to a crossroads in her life, her eyes were foggy and she couldn't see the road ahead.

She closed her eyes and took a slow, deep breath.

In order not to make a wrong decision, I reconfirmed my heart again and again.

An indecisive mood is like the swaying surface of water, slender and transparent.

After a long time, Sayu opened his eyes.

Facing Hui's patient and calm eyes, she took a step back with light steps, showed a decent polite smile, and answered in a soft voice.

"...Thank you, Kato-san, but as expected, forget it."

"I see……?"

"Well, that's not the place I should go in now. I'll go in and disturb you when it's special."

"A special time..."

Hui read this sentence softly, looked at her slightly pale but determined expression thoughtfully, and finally nodded slightly.

"Well~~Since Ms. Ogiwara said so, let's do this. Yusuke, can you bring in the ingredients for me? I'm worried that the seafood's ice pack will melt and make the taste worse, so I want to put it in the refrigerator earlier."

"okay."

Kato Yusuke carried the plastic bag in his hand and entered the entrance with Kei without saying much.

Sayu stood there quietly, watching them close the door with a smile, her mood became transparent.

Although a certain person still had no expression on her face, she still caught a fleeting surprise in the other person's eyes at the moment she passed by her.

Even though it was less than a second of eye contact, there was still an uncontrollable excitement in his heart.

"……poker face."

Sayu muttered something in a low voice, and sat down on the ground with her knees hugged again.

In fact, it wasn't that she didn't want to enter the room behind her.

But she wanted to wait for that person to allow him to go in dignifiedly, instead of being invited in by others for some unknown reason.

It's a small thing, but the meaning behind it is vastly different.

Even if someone would say that she is picky, she has no intention of changing.

After all, when that person is willing to accept her again one day, she hopes that it is out of the other person's heartfelt emotion, rather than being influenced by others.

……

At a quarter past seven, Kato Yusuke was about to send Kei home.

They packed up their things and went out, Sayu was still sitting outside the door.

"Yusuke, can I have a word with you?"

The girl stood up and said, "Just one sentence. If you don't want to talk to me alone, it doesn't matter if you let Ms. Kato stay with you."

Hui: "That~ let me forget what I said. I'll wait for you downstairs first, Yusuke."

Rejecting Sayu's offer to observe, Kei went downstairs first, leaving space for the two of them.

Then, Kato Yusuke heard such a passage.

"——Yusuke, I'm going back to Hokkaido tomorrow, so I want to say goodbye to you. Having said that, I will move to live in Tokyo when the school season starts.

I'm sorry for causing you a lot of trouble during this period... But I will probably still bother you in the future, I hope you can be patient as much as possible.

If you can't bear it, you can consider dating me as soon as possible.

On this basis, please prepare yourself mentally and take good care of your body. Next time I will bring you many specialties from Hokkaido.

at last--"

Sayu took a deep breath, bent over and bowed.

"Thank you for your care during this period of time! Also, goodbye, Yusuke, we will meet later."

"........."

Is this a sentence?
This is a small composition!

Kato Yusuke opened his mouth, and lowered his voice in an old-fashioned way: "Don't come again."

Sayu answered in seconds.

"Sorry, I can't do that."

"Then don't come to my house."

"Sorry, that can't be done either."

"I have no feelings for you."

"That kind of thing, you won't know until you try it."

Kato Yusuke frowned, "I won't accept you."

"About this." Sayu straightened her body and smiled like a flower blooming, "I only believe that things are man-made."

Kato Yusuke put his hand into the pocket of the sweater, turned his head and left.

Find Kei downstairs, walk to the station together, and briefly talk about the conversation with Sayu just now.

In fact, there is no reason to say anything, but when the other party came here to cook for him, it would be too embarrassing to hide it.

In fact, after he sent Shi Yu home last night, he talked with Kei on the phone.

Therefore, the girl knew all about what happened yesterday, so she was not so surprised when she saw Sayu.

The two just walked and chatted.

On the night at the end of February, there was a chilly atmosphere in the streets.

The dim light illuminates the block, and the ground reflects light spots like fireflies, dotting the entire street.

Occasionally, pedestrians walked past them, making leisurely conversations, warm and comfortable.

At a certain moment, Hui suddenly said such a sentence.

"By the way, Ms. Ogiwara is really persistent."

"……Um?"

Kato Yusuke's footsteps faltered slightly, and immediately returned to normal, "Sorry, I didn't expect her to come today, did it bother you?"

"Well~~ I can't say it's troublesome, after all, I'm just a cook who comes to Yusuke's house to cook, and I'm not qualified to care about such things."

"No...don't say that, I've been taken care of by Hui a lot, and I'm the one who feels embarrassed."

"Yeah~?"

Huiman responded casually, and then said as if remembering something:

"By the way, Yusuke, in fact, I plan to go mountaineering recently, and I probably won't be able to come to your house to cook then, so I'll tell you in advance."

"...Mountain climbing? Isn't this too sudden?"

"Huh~~Even if you say that, I should have told you before that I want to climb the mountain next time."

This refers to the time when we went to live together in Baihua Lake.

Kato Yusuke nodded, "You said it before, but I didn't expect it to be so soon...Where are you going?"

"Mount Fuji."

"when to go?"

"Well... I plan to go on the second weekend in March, but I haven't decided yet."

"It's mid-March...it's a bit cold, isn't it?"

"No~"

Hui shook his head lightly, and the single ponytail behind his head swayed accordingly, and there was a slight silvery white light on his black hair.

She raised her hand to pick up a strand of hair that fell on the side of her face, and pushed it behind her small ears. A delicate smile appeared on her face, and she looked back.

"It's spring already~? Yusuke."

The night wind became stronger in an instant, blowing the girl's hair into a swaying pose.

Kato Yusuke couldn't help being taken aback as his figure was reflected in his pupils which were as clear and peaceful as lake water.

"Is that so..."

He was quiet for a while, and said without words: "Sounds very good, how many days do you plan to go?"

"Well... because I want to watch the sunrise, so it should be two days."

"Oh, are you going with your family? Why haven't you decided yet?"

"No~"

"what……?"

Hui smiled and met his blank eyes, the corners of which showed a bit of shyness.

"Well, although it may be a bit abrupt to ask, I haven't found a companion who can climb the mountain together...So, Yusuke, do you want to go together...? Just the two of us."

Kato Yusuke thought for a moment, then lowered his head to think.

The graduation ceremony is in the first week of March, the time is OK.

My work schedule in mid-March... seems to be nothing special.

The only problem is-

"... How are you going to explain this to your family?"

"Well~ Just like before, I would say that I went with the members of the studio." The girl replied calmly, as if she had been prepared for a long time.

and members of the studio, but didn't say a few.

Kato Yusuke seemed to realize something, and then hesitantly asked a very concerned question.

"...Since it is said to be with the members of the studio, then I have to ask Shiba-senpai if they are interested?"

Hui narrowed his eyes slightly, and was silent for a moment.

"...Well, what should I say? If Yusuke wishes so much, I don't mind you asking everyone.

By the way, when everyone made an appointment to come to your house yesterday, I didn't seem to receive the notification, Yusuke, do you know what's going on? "

"No, I don't know."

Kato Yusuke shook his head again and again, speechless.

Although he had a vague guess in his heart, it was not something that could be said now.

Fortunately, Hui didn't seem to care about this, and just said a few simple words.

"Then, Yusuke, do you think it will be boring to be with me? Do you have to ask everyone to come together?"

"Actually, I don't hate being with everyone, I just feel a little bit left behind."

"However, it should just be accidentally forgotten, right?"

"After all, my sense of existence is very weak, so there is nothing I can do about it~ Although I was in the gymnasium at the time, Kasumigaoka-senpai will inevitably be negligent."

"Anyway, if Yusuke thinks it's better for us to be together, I'm okay? It's completely okay?"

Kato Yusuke's cheeks twitched, and he faintly felt his scalp numb, so he said as if walking on thin ice:

"Hmm... I see. If Kei doesn't mind just the two of us, I'd like to accompany you."

"Okay then it's settled."

Kei nodded her head briskly, and said in thought:

"There is also the professional equipment used for mountain climbing, because I don't know much about it, so let's make an appointment to purchase it together?"

"it is good."

Kato Yusuke had no reason to refuse, and agreed decisively.

In this way, he sent Hui, who seemed to be in a better mood, to the station, and then turned back home alone.

Halfway through the walk, he suddenly received a work message from Xiao Jia Nai on his mobile phone, reminding him that there will be a voice actor selection meeting for the character the day after tomorrow, and reminding him to remember to be there.

Kato Yusuke walked back to the old apartment while replying to the message.

——The refreshing citrus fragrance is no longer in front of the door.
