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

Chapter 661 Unrealistic Fantasy

the other side.

Kato Yusuke looked at the phone, helpless.

The screen still stayed on the chat interface with Xiao Xi.

In the recent period of time, the girl always wanted to ask him to go to the association every now and then, even though he declined many times, she still persevered.

As such situations gradually increased, he gradually became a little difficult to refuse.

Especially Motoyama Mina would call every week to ask him and Xiao Xi's situation.He has been perfunctory more times, and the other party is almost a little suspicious.

Kato Yusuke was silent for a while, then called up the chat interface with Shinjoka.

The last time they chatted was last month.

Unlike the previous situation where I greeted him every day, since that day, the other party has never bothered him again.

It is not like sending daily classes every now and then, and even the work of the student union is reported through the chat group as much as possible, showing a well-behaved and interesting look.

'Isn't it good to abide by the contract with peace of mind? '

Kato Yusuke thought indifferently, and put away the phone.

The next moment, the doorbell rang.

After opening the door, Mami raised her hand and greeted with a smile.

"Hello ~ Kato Tsai, good evening. Here, here is this for you."

Saying so, the other party handed a square document into his hand.

Kato Yusuke originally thought it was some kind of document from the community, but after a closer look, he found that it was an envelope with "Respectfully, Kato Yusuke" written on it.

"……What's this?"

"Trust me, you'll know it at a glance, right?"

"Isn't the address above your house number? Why is there my name?"

"Ahaha, about this, turn over the letter and take a look~"

So Kato Yusuke did as he said, and then fell silent when he saw the sender's information on the back.

Mami laughed and explained.

"You should understand now, right? To put it simply, Sayu-sister is worried that you won't accept the letter, so she asked me to help pass it on to you~"

"But then again, in this day and age, you still use such an old-fashioned way of communication. Sister Sayu is really interesting."

"Shouldn't it be too troublesome to write a letter? Isn't it more convenient to use phone calls and emails... Ah, yes! It seems that Sayu-chan doesn't have your contact information, Kato-ai, um... Then There's no other way."

It seemed that she was very interested in this matter, and Mami kept talking on her own.

Kato Yusuke didn't want to listen any more, he greeted coldly and was about to return to the room, but——

"Wait a minute, Kato Tsai."

The other party put his shoulder on his shoulder for some reason, and stared at him with uncharacteristically serious eyes.

"Before you go back, let me ask, you should read the letter written by Sayu, right?"

Kato Yusuke was a little silent, "...does this have anything to do with you?"

"Knew it……"

When Mami heard his answer, she showed a distressed expression for a moment, but then turned serious again.

"Hey, Kato Sai. This is a letter from as far away as Hokkaido, right?

In order for this letter to be delivered to you, those postmen have worked very hard. Don't you think you should take other people's feelings into consideration?
If you just throw it in the trash like this, the letter and Mr. Postman will be too pitiful.

So even if you don't like it, please wait until you read it carefully before throwing it away?please. "

After finishing speaking, he bowed slightly solemnly.

Kato Yusuke looked at the letter in his hand and the face of the other party alternately, and said in a low voice: "...Understood, don't let her send it again next time."

"Ahaha, I can't guarantee this. Ah~ But I will convey your thoughts to Sayu sister, just like helping her hand over this letter to you. That's it, bye~"

Mami waved her hand with a bright smile and left gracefully.

Kato Yusuke closed the door, returned to the living room with the letter, sat down in front of the workbench, then put the letter aside casually, and began to draw.

Since Ying Lili's recent state is not very good, the progress of the original painting has not progressed for a long time, which makes the schedule lag behind by a large margin, and he has to make up for the missing parts in time.

In particular, he has made an appointment with Hui to go hiking next weekend, and he will not be able to work for at least two days, so his time is actually quite tight.

Faced with such a situation, the most important thing for him to do right now is to work hard instead of thinking about what he has and what he doesn't have.

In this way, the boy focused on drawing the picture.

Unlike the absurd and bizarre "Chain Saw Man".

The work "Clannad" pays more attention to the details and emotional expression of the characters, so it can't use the sketch style like the former, but needs to be carefully crafted and takes a lot of effort.

There is actually a part of the reason why Yinglili got stuck.

But this is not the case with Kato Yusuke.

His wrist moved flexibly, and he wrote at a speed that would be dazzling to ordinary people, gradually presenting the image of the character on the drawing software on the screen.

Over time, an original painting of Fujibayashi Apricot and Fujibayashi Muku was drawn.

The two sisters wore the same uniform and white knee socks. Apart from the length of their hair, there was almost no difference in their appearance.

Therefore, when dealing with such characters, it is necessary to pay attention to the demeanor and temperament of the characters so that players can make distinctions.

For example, compared to the straightforward older sister Xing, the introverted Muku has a bit of weakness and shyness, so as to reflect the difference in roles.

Kato Yusuke has the skill of [Painting (master level)], so it is easy to handle it, and he is also able to use various painting techniques with ease.

Diagonals, intersections, golden section...

The composition of the two original paintings is balanced and natural, and the expressions of the characters are also very vivid. There is basically no need for major changes.

Save and compress the layer file, attach some comments on the coloring, and send it to Sagara Mayu by email, and tonight's work is over.

He turned to look at the balcony.

Unknowingly, the setting sun shining through the window gradually dimmed.The moonlight replaced it, quietly shedding silver light, reflecting each other with the lights in the house.

He withdrew his gaze, and his eyes fell on the envelope beside him inadvertently.After hesitating for a few seconds, he still picked up the letter.

Open the envelope and take out the letter paper, unfold it, and the round font comes into view——

"Yusuke, are you okay? I'm sorry to bother you in such a sudden way, if only you could read this letter~

()”

Kato Yusuke glanced at the handwritten kaomoji, read down silently, and found that the contents above were all trivial matters.

"Yusuke, why is your cat named Kuro?"

"Yusuke, the feeling of Tokyo and Hokkaido is really different. I really want to show you my hometown."

"Yusuke, the ending band we saw last time was great, can we watch it together next time?"

"Yusuke, have you ever read the novel "Swamp Man"? This is a book given to me by someone else. After I read it, I found that the content in it was unexpectedly interesting."

……

something like this -

Apart from expressing apology for the trouble he caused him, "I was wrong but I will not correct it", the owner is almost sharing his daily life.

Continue down.

"Yusuke, I miss you so much, I want to go to you as soon as possible, and make up for all the old time. Although you probably hate it (wry smile)..."

"In short, as the saying goes, a short parting is for a better reunion, so I will try my best to endure it before school starts (ì_í)."

"...At the end of the day, I left my smell in the envelope, so please don't forget about me.——Sincerely, Sayu."

Kato Yusuke subconsciously looked at the envelope on the table, picked it up again and put it in front of his eyes, only to find that there seemed to be something inside, so he poured it in the palm of his hand.

—It was a pure white handkerchief.

A hint of citrus flavor wafts out slightly.

"........."

The young man stared at the handkerchief blankly, and after a while whispered two words, "...boring."

As he spoke, he put the letter and handkerchief back into the envelope, and was about to take a shower, but stopped when he reached the door of the bathroom, and slowly turned back to the living room.

"Woo meow meow~?"

The black cat was lying on the cat climbing frame with its hands in its hands, tilting its head and looking at him in puzzlement, as if asking "What are you looking at?".

Kato Yusuke ignored him, put the envelope in the drawer of the bedside table, and then went to the bathroom.

Two 10 minutes later.

After taking a shower, he changed into clean home clothes and returned to the living room, making himself a cup of coffee.

Looking around idly, his eyes fell on the bow on the wall.

——Let’s take care of the bow.

He suddenly thought so, so he acted.

Take out the maintenance products you bought online.

Take out a piece of natural beeswax from the bow bag, heat it with a slow fire and water until it melts, and stir it evenly with chopsticks.

While waiting for cooling, first wipe the bow body with a soft cloth and detergent to remove dust and stains on the surface.

At this time, the beeswax has also cooled to a suitable temperature.

Dip a sponge in melted beeswax and spread the wax evenly over the surface of the bow in the direction of the bow's grain.

Next, gently wipe the bow with a clean cotton cloth to remove excess wax and smooth the surface of the bow.At the same time, apply a layer of string wax to the bowstring.

Considering that he probably won't use it in the short term, Kato Yusuke removed the bowstring and stored it back in the bow bag.

Because the process of waxing the bow body usually takes 2 or 3 times, he continues to repeat this step.

With careful maintenance, the bow became smoother, and his feeling of being at a loss gradually calmed down.

After finishing everything, Yusuke Kato hung the bow back on the wall, and then sat down beside the bed.

There is a faint smell of beeswax in the air, and there is an atmosphere of quiet thinking.

His eyes fell on the drawer of the nightstand.

Involuntarily, he took the letter out again, took out the handkerchief, and sniffed it close to his nose.

The refreshing citrus scent immediately floods into the nasal cavity, which smells inexplicably reassuring and heart-pounding.

There seemed to be a light and pleasant voice in my ears——

"I left my smell in the envelope, don't forget me."

"…………How can it be?"

Kato Yusuke gritted his teeth violently, his right hand holding the handkerchief kept shaking, and the girl's smile kept appearing in his mind.

The smell coming from the handkerchief was a haunting and indelible memory for him.

That citrus scent used to fill every corner of this room, but now—

... But he can only rely on these tiny things and memories to survive.

"What are you doing..."

He muttered to himself, replaying everything about the other party in his mind.

Sayu’s expression, conversations with Sayu in daily life, the taste of that miso soup, and the places they’ve been together—

He unfolded the letter, read it again as if he was looking for something, looked at the various sentences that were long and short, and finally found a line of inconspicuous small words at the end.

"PS Yusuke, what is your impression of me? It shouldn't just be annoying...? (whispers)"

Before the subjective consciousness reacted, several answers popped up in the brain.

Very crybaby.

However, people who depend on him very much.

Also, someone he likes very much.

"Ha ha……"

He laughed dryly, and his vision began to distort and blur.

"...What have I done..."

Kato Yusuke bowed his body and lowered his head, covering his face with his right hand, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

I thought and thought and thought and thought.

no matter how you think about it-

His Sayu is gone, and now Sayu has embarked on his own path.

Therefore, he also had to start over.

but……

"Not at all...!"

A dry voice came out of his throat involuntarily.

Meeting Sayu again, his heart was shaken far more intensely than he imagined.

Obviously he tried his best to refuse, but the other party rushed forward, like a sharp knife piercing his heart, insisting on making him dripping with blood.

Grief, loneliness, regret...

Complicated emotions surged through his chest like a flood.

The body seemed to be burning hot and trembling.

If there is a theory of cause and effect in the world, then the aggressive Sayu is undoubtedly his retribution.

"Cough cough..."

The corners of Kato Yusuke's mouth were twisted, the contours of the teeth appeared faintly on the tight cheeks, and the dull chest heaved violently as if a boulder was pressed on it.

For quite a while, the only sound in the room was his heavy panting and the black cat's bewildered cry.

Ignoring the black cat's meowing, he stood up on his knees and staggered to the front of the wardrobe.

Open the cabinet door and drawer, put the things that Sayu sent together with the handkerchief before, and then roughly closed the drawer and cabinet.

"..."

Kato Yusuke supported the wall next to the closet with one hand to support his body, lowered his head deeply and exhaled repeatedly to calm down his embarrassing mood.

"……system."

He asked hoarsely:
"...If I use that blank memory potion to copy my memory and drink it for the current Sayu, can I bring back the original Sayu...?"

In the next second, the melodious electronic female voice sounded.

"Ding, the item [Memory Potion (Empty)] does not have the effect that the host said, and cannot replace the user's personality."

"…………that's true."

Kato Yusuke grinned at himself mockingly, muttering to himself something he already understood, and just stood there in a daze.

After a while, he asked again: "...system, can I still find the original Sayu...?"

After a while of silence.

"Ding, the host has a certain probability of obtaining some special props, such as [Memory Potion (Ogiwara Sayu)], and the user has a small probability of producing a second personality after taking it."

a long time--

"...how do I get it?"

"Ding, when the host completes the task, there will be a chance of one in a billion to randomly obtain this item."

"........."

Kato Yusuke clenched his fists and remained silent for a long time.
