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

Chapter 744 The Last Carnival in August
the other side.

Kato Yusuke and his team came to the area to watch the fireworks show.

He wanted to take a place at random, but found that he didn't bring any mats that could be spread on the ground.

It would be fine if he was the only one, but we can't let Shi Yu and the others sit on the ground directly, no matter what they have to clean up.

Just when he was at a loss for what to do, Kanoko Hasumi quite naturally took out a family picnic mat and spread it out neatly on the ground.

Seeing this, Yusuke Kato frowned instantly, thinking that this kind of carefulness really has the style of Kano.

Looking around, other tourists also brought their own picnic mats and picked a suitable viewing location.

The friends took off their shoes one after another, sat down on the picnic mat, and waited for the fireworks show to start.

Kato Yusuke thought for a moment and said, "I'll go and buy something to eat while it's still a while. What do you all want to eat?"

Facing his inquiry, the four women also answered bluntly.

French fries, takoyaki, fried chicken nuggets, chicken cakes, apple candy, cotton candy... All kinds of food rushed towards him like a list of dishes.

"Uh, okay, I want these, right? I know." Kato Yusuke nodded with a wry smile, but he didn't expect the response to be so enthusiastic.

But he was the only boy at the scene, so he had to do things like running errands.

He was about to go shopping when Ying Lili stood up for some reason.

"Wait a minute, I'll go shopping with you."

"No, no, just sit and rest, I'll just go alone."

"Huh? Are you an idiot? How could you get so many things by yourself?"

"It's really not necessary. I just ask the boss for a few more bags to wrap it up, so as not to affect everyone's food."

"Hello!" Ying Lili stared, put her hands on her waist and said, "I said I'll go with you, don't you understand??"

Hearing this, Kato Yusuke, who was waving his hands repeatedly last second, immediately changed his face, and said righteously:
"I'm so sorry, you are so right! Please do me this favor!"

"Huh~" Eiriri raised her chin triumphantly, said "it's not too bad", then grabbed Kato Yusuke's sleeve and left.

Seeing this, Nakano Ryoko had a strange look in his eyes, and asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Hasumi, Mr. Kasumigaoka, may I ask You-kun, is he usually like this?"

"Haha." Kanoko Hasami said with a smile, "Kato-kun is like that sometimes, Nakano-san, don't be surprised~"

"No." Ryoko Nakano shook her head lightly, "I'm just a little curious, nothing else, I'm being rude."

Shi Yu said casually: "Senior, you don't have to worry about it. You Jiang's face is actually quite thick. What he is best at is deliberately showing weakness to please girls."

"...Is that so~?" Nakano Ryoko smiled and said, "It's really surprising, it turns out that Yu-kun also has such a side."

"Well, he wears a lot of masks, no matter who he is, he will at least keep one point, hiding his true heart cunningly..."

"Uh, Kasumigaoka-san...?"

"Well, but he was unexpectedly childish in front of senior sisters, unlike us who always pretend to be old-fashioned." Shi Yu said old-fashioned.

"...?"

Ryoko Nakano blinked her eyelashes, and finally smiled politely, without saying anything.

Back to Kato Yusuke.

He and Ying Lili ran around looking for all kinds of delicacies, but the progress was not smooth.

The opening of the fireworks show is approaching, and everyone wants to replenish food during this time, which has resulted in a long queue in front of almost every booth, and the degree of crowding is prohibitive.

Kato Yusuke looked at this scene with a headache, and could only choose those stalls with few people to line up first.

Although he knew that it would be more efficient for two people to buy separately, Ying Lili didn't mean that at all, and basically followed him every step of the way, and she followed him wherever he went to line up.

Kato Yusuke couldn't say anything about it, so he could only hold her hand tightly so as not to get separated, and moved between the booths with difficulty.

At last.

He bought one marshmallow, two chow mein, three okonomiyaki, two frankfurters and two chocolate bananas.

Compared with the name of the dish reported 15 minutes ago, the actual food bought is basically not as good as it is.

But considering the situation at the scene, there was no way to do it. Who told him that he didn't have extra time?

While thinking about how to explain it when I go back, I stuffed all the food I bought into plastic bags.

Kato Yusuke nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, buying so much should be enough for everyone, let's go back."

Eiriri watched his expression, and said with a little confusion: "...Hey, Yusuke, can you go somewhere with me?"

"What's the matter? Do you want to go to the bathroom? I can go with you, but you have to hurry up, after all, we don't have much time."

"—That's not it!" Ying Lili gave him a hard look, and said angrily: "Let's go to the top platform of the shrine."

"What?" Kato Yusuke was stunned, and said in surprise: "It's just a little higher there, so it shouldn't make any difference for watching fireworks, right?"

"Troubleshooting! Just follow me obediently." Ying Lili stretched out her hand as she spoke, and forcibly dragged him forward.

Kato Yusuke sighed softly, not knowing what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd, so he could only follow along.

By the way, both of his hands are covered with plastic bags, and he is so busy.

And Ying Lili, who had offered to help before, was tugging on his sleeve with one hand and holding the marshmallow in the other, and had no intention of helping at all.

"In the end, what are you here for..." Kato Yusuke thought a little depressed, wondering if this is any different from coming alone?

Regardless of his complaints, the girl trotted ahead to lead the way, her golden pair of horses swaying in the wind, and even the camellias on her hair accessory swayed, which was very beautiful.

They quickly reached the highest platform of the shrine and found a random place to stand together.

The feeling of looking into the distance from here is indeed a bit different from the one below.

Looking down from the high platform, the shrine is decorated with lights and festoons, shining like a palace of stars.

"And then?" Kato Yusuke asked because he didn't understand, "We came here on purpose, what's the matter?"

Ying Lili squinted her eyes, her azure blue pupils rolled around, as if she was planning something.

"...Yukata." She started her voice in a low voice, with a little excitement and shyness in her tone, "You wore the bathrobe I gave you, I think it suits you well... very handsome~"

Kato Yusuke was taken aback, becoming more and more confused.Is it because of this that she took so much trouble to bring him here?

However, the other party's innocent expression at the moment made it impossible for him to ask this question, so he nodded with a wry smile.

"Thank you, I think Yinglili is cute tonight too?"

Ying Lili frowned, as if she heard his perfunctory, she stretched out her small hand and wrung his forearm hard.

"Hiss~ It hurts."

"Hmph, who told you to be perfunctory to me~"

The girl squinted at him, then took his arm naturally, "Take the bag away, it's dirty my clothes."

Kato Yusuke obeyed obediently, and replaced the plastic bag in his right hand with his left hand, and Eiriri leaned forward.

"Hey, Yusuke, did you apologize to Kei?"

"……what?"

"So I'm asking if you apologized to Hui? Actually, I invited her to the festival yesterday, but she refused."

After hearing this, Kato Yusuke was silent for a moment, then shook his head slowly.

Of course he apologized to Hui, more than once, but unfortunately the other party never replied to him once, as if he was still angry.

"Is that so..." Seeing his reaction, Ying Lili lowered her head sadly, muttering in distress.

After a moment, she suddenly raised her head, looked directly into his eyes, and said:
"Cheer up! I like Hui, and I like everyone. You have to take responsibility to reconcile with Hui and bring her back. I don't care so much about the rest. Do you understand?"

"Hmm..." Kato Yusuke touched his nose, "You said this last time, I always remember... I'm sorry, I made you worry."

Ying Lili narrowed her eyes, "Do you really remember?"

"Remember, remember, it's true, I will deal with Hui's problem as soon as possible, so can we go back?"

"...Wait a little longer."

"Huh? But the fireworks show is due to start in a few minutes..."

"So what?" Ying Lili hugged his arm tightly and said impatiently, "I want to watch the fireworks with the two of you..."

Kato Yusuke was slightly taken aback: "Sorry, I'm not very knowledgeable, but you can't watch it for too long? After all, everyone is waiting for us."

"There will be thousands of fireworks here, you don't need to accompany me all of them, but at least you can watch ten of them with me, right?"

As the voice fell——

"Shu bang—!"

The first firework hit the night sky, bursting into bright crimson flowers.

Ying Lili raised her head in response, staring at the lit night sky, sparks rained in her beautiful pupils.

"Yusuke! The fireworks are so beautiful~!" The girl shouted excitedly, her ingenious facial features were extraordinarily beautiful under the reflection of the fireworks.

Kato Yusuke quietly stared at her side face, his expression softened, and then he also looked up at the night sky.

One shot, two shots, three shots.

An unprecedentedly huge moon hangs high in the sky, as if you can reach out and touch its outline.

Four shots, five shots, six shots.

The loud sound shook the eardrums, and the quiet and lonely shrine was decorated with colorful colors.

"Yusuke." Ying Lili let go of his arm, and said suddenly: "Open your mouth."

"What?" Kato Yusuke turned his head incomprehensibly, two slender white fingers pressed against his lips, and stuffed a small piece of marshmallow into his mouth.

The fluffy sugar shreds immediately melted on the tongue, sweet and greasy with a cool touch of fingers.

"Ah..." Ying Lili withdrew her hand like a frightened deer, put her fingertips wrapped in sugar into her mouth, and asked with flickering eyes: "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Kato Yusuke was taken aback, his originally calm mood suddenly surged, and he swallowed the marshmallow helplessly and amusedly.

Seven shots, eight shots, nine shots.

Before you know it, the time for the two-person fireworks is coming to an end.

The next moment, Ying Lili suddenly put one hand on his shoulder and stood on tiptoe, bringing her face closer——

"—— Chirp."

The small lips pressed against his lips, sucked lightly, and then slowly parted.

As if someone slowed down the hands of the clock, the tenth firework hit the night sky belatedly.

Accompanied by the loud "咻咚", a soft whisper also reached Kato Yusuke's ears.

"—Honey, I like you~"

boom!clatter~
The fireworks exploded, illuminating the surroundings like daytime.

Kato Yusuke unconsciously pursed his lips, and said softly: "...so sweet."

"Of course, it's cotton candy after all~"

Ying Lili looked at him with a crooked smile, her clear and bright eyes were full of love, and her long and curly eyelashes fluttered under the brilliant fireworks, as delicate as a porcelain doll.

……

When they returned to everyone, they were interrogated as expected.

Shi Yu frowned lightly, looked back and forth between them, and asked, "Why are you two so slow? Where did you secretly go on a date?"

"...!" Ying Lili's body froze suddenly, she waved her hand guiltily, and ran to sit down next to Kanoko Hasumi.

However, the three women present were all human beings. Seeing her unnatural appearance, they didn't know that something was wrong, and their eyes became subtle.

Kato Yusuke touched his nose resentfully, and the plan that he wanted to vaguely mention also fell through, so he had to find an excuse to shift the focus.

"Sorry, there are too many people at the stall, I couldn't buy what everyone wanted, but the food is also delicious."

Shi Yu glanced at him up and down, unexpectedly he didn't have any intention of pursuing it, and didn't know if this counted as special preferential treatment for his allies.

Ryoko Nakano smiled and said, "Thank you, Yu-kun, what did you buy?"

"Sister, I recommend chocolate bananas and frankfurters." Kato Yusuke said, passing the bought food to everyone.

Kanoko Hasumi said: "Ah~ there is Okonomiyaki, Xiaoshi, shall we share it?"

Shi Yu nodded lazily, and replied yes.

At this time, Ying Lili came up unwilling to be lonely.

"Yusuke, I want to eat Okonomiyaki too, feed me~!"

Shi Yu: "——!!"

Kato Yusuke's scalp went numb, and cold sweat broke out.

He pretended not to notice the gaze stabbing from behind, picked up a small piece of Okonomiyaki with his chopsticks, and decided to get rid of the little thing like Yinglili first.

Incidentally, the reason why he did this was not out of partiality, but because he wanted to come one by one in order.

Facing his feeding, Ying Lili closed her eyes happily, and opened her mouth "ah~" ready to enjoy, but——

"I'll eat!" Shiwa, who came out from the side, ate the Okonomiyaki in one bite.

"What! Xiazhiqiu Shiyu—!?" Yinglili suddenly opened her eyes and yelled.

"Hmm? Excuse me, do you want to eat first?"

Shiwa snatched the chopsticks from Kato Yusuke nonchalantly, picked up all the remaining Okonomiyaki, and brought it to Eirari's mouth.

"Here, Sawamura, I'll feed you this big mouthful."

"I don't want you to feed it——!!!!" Ying Lili yelled loudly.

Seeing this, everyone laughed out loud at the same time.

The small episode heated up the atmosphere, and everyone's face was filled with smiles.

dong dong dong.

Slap, slap, slap, slap.

Fireworks hit the night sky one after another, celebrating the last carnival of August in a gorgeous and noisy manner.

As time passed, the festival also came to an end.

──Boom!

The last firework soared into the sky.

Kato Yusuke looked up at the night sky, witnessing the huge Corona Chrysanthemum blooming slowly, and finally turned into a golden shower, falling reluctantly.

In the silence that followed, the white smoke disappeared into the dark night like the credits of a movie.

"see you next year."

Nakano Ryoko murmured, her voice as thin as a fairy stick.

Kato Yusuke sighed inaudibly and nodded slowly.

"Well, see you next year."
