Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home

   Chapter 257 Yu and Yu

  The two bought a bright red apple candy and ate it in turn, and walked around the shrine.

  The lively music is intertwined with the loud vocals, constantly echoing in the ears.

   While biting the apple that had been dried in the sugar coating, he listened to the girl beside him speaking with high spirits.

   "Yusuke, I want to play that."

   Looking in the direction the other party pointed, Kato Yusuke nodded, "Yes, yes, but most of the goldfish at the festival are weak and may die after a long time, is it okay?"

   "I will take good care of them!" Sayu clenched his fists tightly, his small face tensed slightly because he was full of seriousness.

   'It's not like that at all...' Kato Yusuke thought silently, and then said ok.

   So the two came to the booth together, only to realize that the water yo-yo and goldfish fishing they had seen before were actually the same family.

   After paying 600 yen to the uncle at the booth, they each got a fishing net.

   "Okay~!"

   Sayu rolled up the sleeves of the yukata high, locked the target, and carefully put the net into the water.

   "Ah! Ah~ah."

  Although the goldfish swam to the paper net for a moment, it broke through the net and escaped.

"try again."

   Looking at the bewildered girl, Kato Yusuke handed over his fishing net and said with consideration.

"Remember the side of the fishing net that is stuck with the paper, it will be less likely to break. When fishing, it is best to place the bowl near the water surface and wait to catch the fish. The fishing net should be placed in the water at an angle. If you only put half of the net in the water, it will break more easily."

"is that so?"

   Sayu tilted his head and looked, the slightly forward squatting posture set off the curves of the body very clearly, like freshly made fresh cream, full of the softness unique to girls.

   "Try it the way I just said."

   "Hmm~!"

  The two cuddled together.

   slap.

   A golden swimming fish jumped up from the water, splashing some water droplets that reflected the colorful light and shadow, and then accelerated and fled towards the companion.

   "Sorry, I failed again..."

   The girl who stared at the holes in the net muttered in frustration.

   "It doesn't matter, you have done better than just now, but that fish is a little stronger, let's continue." Kato Yusuke shook his head, then bought two more fishing nets and handed them to the other party.

   And this time…

   "Ah, ah~ ah!"

  A red goldfish was swimming slowly in the bowl, Sayu turned his head with bright eyes.

   "Yusuke!"

   "Well, you did a good job." Kato Yusuke patted her head encouragingly, "Congratulations, is the rest of the net still playing?"

Alternatingly, she glanced at the goldfish in the bowl and the last scooping net at hand, the girl nodded vigorously, "um" and said with a happy smile, "I always feel that one is too lonely, so I want to find her another company. ~"

"she?"

   "Because this child is beautiful."

"weirdo."

   "Ah, it's too much, it's not surprising!" Hearing his words, Sayu puffed up his cheeks with anger, and continued to fish for goldfish.

   Maybe he really mastered the trick, a black goldfish was also caught in the bowl, and made a pair with the red one just now, and swam recklessly in the bowl.

   "Great, they look very happy too~" the girl said happily.

   "I think that's more like being frightened." Kato Yusuke muttered silently.

   "Fork!"

   The other party stretched out his hand to seal his mouth, and complained with some anger and half joy: "You really are Yusuke, stupid, stupid, stupid~"

  The two returned the fishing net to the stall owner, the uncle helped put two goldfish into the bag, and then gave them a small bag of feed as a gift with a caring smile.

   She looked like her aunt who came to visit her house when she was a child, which made Kato Yusuke feel uncomfortable, but she still nodded along with Sayu and thanked the stall owner for her kindness.

   The two men with bags continued on their way.

   "What should we name them? Yusuke."

   "This kind of thing only makes sense if you do it yourself?"

   "Hey~ but without Yusuke's guidance, I wouldn't be able to catch it at all, so half of us are each."

   "Then Little Red and Little Black."

   "Ah, so perfunctory."

   Sayu poked him in the face with an unacceptable face, then raised the bag to his eyes again, and stared at the two swimming fish inside.

   "Hey~"

   She whispered softly at intervals, attracting Kato Yusuke's gaze.

  The bright yellow light reflected on her face through the clear and transparent water, making her eyes more picturesque and lively. Like a roll of Ukiyo-e unfolding slowly, it is timelessly engraved.

   The girl turned her head and looked around, an innocent smile appeared on her face.

   "—It's decided. Because this black one is very handsome, it's called Yusuke. Then question~~ What is the name of the other child?"

   As she said that, she put the "microphone" in her hand to Kato Yusuke's mouth and waited for his answer.

   "...You don't have a choice at all, do you?" Someone scratched his cheek helplessly.

   "Please~Reply~Answer~!" Sayu opened his mouth wide and said word by word.

   "...Well, then Sayu. No—"

   Having said that, Kato Yusuke shook his head and said, "It's still too strange, at least it's like Xiaoyou and Xiaoyou? Uh..."

After   , realizing that he had made a slip of the tongue, he laughed first, and then added: "Sorry, or Xiaojia and Xiaoyou."

   "Hmm~ Are Xiaojia and Xiaoyou?"

   The girl nodded her head with a frown, raised her hand and pushed the loose strands of hair behind her ears, looked at him and said, "Well, I like this name~ just like I like Yusuke."

  The surrounding scenery became blurred for a moment, as if all the lighting in the surroundings were gathered here, illuminating the graceful shadow in the center of the field of vision.

   For a while, Kato Yusuke just stared at the girl in front of him, and then he looked away casually and pointed to a certain booth.

   "Let's play that next."

   "Ah~ it's air gun shooting. Hmm! I want to see Yusuke play this~!" Sayu said excitedly, and dragged him towards it quickly.

  ◇

  嘭—

The   cork was sprayed from the muzzle of the gun by the gas, and then directly hit the wall a few meters away, passing by the goods placed on the counter, making the boss smile happily.

   "I didn't hit... it."

   "Well, sorry."

   "Ah, it doesn't matter, I just have to watch Yusuke play and I'm very happy, I don't need to win a prize for me!"

   "Then let's go get something to eat, the fireworks show is about to start."

   Kato Yusuke, who put down his gun, said that, and then he was about to leave with the girl. After all, he was only here to calm down, so his desire to win was not very high.

As a result, the owner of the booth suddenly spoke, and the other party said to him in a regretful and persuasive tone: "Hey, this is not good, bro. Let the handsome win in the game. Giving a prize to a girlfriend is the romance of a man! I’ll give you a little cheaper, so let’s play two more games?”

   "How much cheaper?" Kato Yusuke stopped abruptly after hearing this.

   "Well, if you're willing to play twice, it's 900 yen." The boss who saw the fish took the bait showed a happy smile.

   "Wow, isn't this just 100 yen cheaper, what a stingy uncle." Sayu pouted slightly.

The boss smiled at this, on the contrary, he said: "You can't say that, little girl, a real man has to go through all kinds of tests, if I'm too cheap, I won't be able to hone him. ."

   "Ah, this is just sophistry, so cunning."

  The boss cast his sly eyes on Kato Yusuke again, "How about this little brother, can you create a beautiful summer festival memory for your lovely girlfriend?"

   "There's no need for that kind of thing. Let's go, Yusuke." Sayu said as he stretched out his hand to pull the person next to him.

   It’s just…

   "...Yusuke?"

   "Is there anything you like here? Sayu." Kato Yusuke, who was standing still, asked, and took 900 yen from his wallet and handed it to the boss.

   "Huh? Why??"

"what why?"

   "Because, Yusuke, aren't you bad at shooting? Is it necessary to accept this kind of aggressive tactics?"

   Facing the girl who looked at him helplessly, Kato Yusuke, who had ten bullets, showed an unfathomable smile on his face.

   "Just now, now is now. After all, as the boss said, the rare summer festival really should give you some gifts."

   "Oh! That's the momentum! Come on, little brother!" The boss beside him slapped his thigh and gave him a thumbs up.

   "Well, thank you boss."

   Kato Yusuke said this, and then put his eyes on the girl, and smiled softly: "So, which prizes do you like on the cabinet?"

  ‘They all said that you made the wrong person, and the person who should be hot-blooded should be me, right? ' Thinking of this, Sayu couldn't help but puffed out her cheeks slightly, and then sighed softly, a soft smile blooming on her face.

   "As long as it was given to me by Yusuke, I will cherish it no matter what it is."

"learn."

   Kato Yusuke silently raised the corners of his mouth, showing a hearty smile and said, "Then take one of each."

"Eh?"

   An electronic female voice with no emotional fluctuations sounded in her head: "The exchanged skill - [Shooting (Entry Level)], deduct 100 points.

   Remaining points: 770 points. "

  …

After a few minutes.

  Boom, bang, bang—

   Accompanied by three consecutive dull beating sounds in his ears, the crumbling wooden sign with the prize written on the counter finally fell down, making a muffled "dong" sound.

   There was a brief silence in the scene.

   followed by—

   "It's done, it's successful...!"

   "No, impossible...!"

   A voice of surprise and consternation rang out at the same time.

   Ignoring the words that the two of them blurted out in surprise, the boy who put down his gun said to the latter: "Then give us the prize, boss."

But the other party didn't seem to hear it, and just stared at the "a mess" that he had placed on the counter, and kept saying things like "Ten hits all hits", "Big losses, big losses". , "How could this be possible" or something like that.

Sayu on the side of    reminded with a smile: "Uncle, please exchange prizes for us~"

   So the boss came to his senses and turned his neck stiffly to look at them. He forced a smile and said, "Oh, I know, I got it. Here we come here..."

   After saying that, he didn't act for a long time. Instead, he looked at the handsome young man with a tangled face, as if he had something to say but didn't know how to say it, only his mouth kept mumbling.

   "Is there a problem? Boss." Kato Yusuke, who noticed this scene, asked with a smile.

"This…"

Probably because curiosity prevailed, the stall owner couldn't help throwing out the doubts in his heart after all: "Yeah~ I didn't expect my little brother to be a professional. Your last three shots were so good! Uncle, I was taken aback... Haha, so strong, so strong."

   "After all, the boss's grand prize is quite heavy."

   Kato Yuu pointedly said, and then shook his head slowly, "As for the profession you mentioned, my level is only entry-level. It was only a fluke to be able to hit the prize, so there is nothing to praise."

   "Entry-level? A fluke?" Repeating these two words, the stall owner could not help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

   Kato Yusuke still affirmed indifferently: "Well, entry-level, fluke."

   and then added: "Probably thanks to your encouragement, I was able to perform exceptionally well, thank you boss."

   "Oh...No, you're welcome." The stall owner responded feebly, his expression turning like a mourning wife.

   "Pfft..."

   seemed to be amused, Sayu on the side couldn't help shaking his shoulders and sneered, and then urged: "Uncle, our prizes are not ready yet... Pffhaha."

  Conveniently "ha..." sighed deeply, scratched the back of his head and said, "Understood, it was Uncle, I lost, really, I'll give it to you now."

   After a while, the two got the following pile of items:

   One pair of flip-flops, one hairpin, one fish tank, two masks, and one pink plush bear.

  Because two bullets were wasted on the jackpot bear, the total number of prizes received in the end was 6.

   Hearing the boss's request of "don't come again later", the two of them couldn't help but glance at each other, and then laughed in unison.

   Walking all the way down, the stalls at the festival have basically been finished. They decided to take a break and came to the stone steps that deviate from the main road, and then they waited for the start of the fireworks show.

   After placing Sayu and the things on his body, Kato Yusuke turned back to the main road alone to buy food, and told the girl to stay here and wait for him.

The distance between the stone steps of the    path and the main road is only a few meters, but it seems to be divided into two worlds. One is brightly lit, and the other is moonlight.

   Even the loud voices seemed to be cut off by an invisible dividing line. Sitting alone on the quiet stone steps, a quiet and peaceful atmosphere pervaded.

   Just as Shayou, who was holding the fish tank, was admiring the two small fish inside, a slender figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the path, and staggered towards it.

   instinctively raised his eyes, and a touch of soft pale pink came into his eyes.

   is like a weeping cherry tree that is hidden in a place no one knows, and quietly blooms.

   For a moment, the girl felt as if she really saw the dreamy cherry blossoms flying lightly in the night.

  …

   Thank you [Burning Morning] and [Walnut My Treasure] for the rewards.
