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

   Chapter 274 Follow-up of the circle of friends

   When someone checked the phone again, it was already the next morning.

   Gently removed the jade arms and thighs that were pressing on him, and then carefully pulled out his arms from under Sayu's head, who was still awake.

   Kato Yusuke got up from the futon spread on the floor, went to the table and poured himself a glass of water.

   Goo, goo, goo.

   The conspicuous Adam's apple rose and fell for a while, and the thirsty throat was finally relieved.

   wiped his lips with the back of his hand at will, and the fingertips were full of the sweet and greasy taste of a girl.

  Bright light shone through the paper door of the tea room that was pulled up and hit him.

   The red marks between his neck and chest were clearly illuminated, and the intensity of the battle last night was evident.

   picked up the phone that had been left alone all night, and Kato Yusuke's movements couldn't help but stagnate.

   First, two good friends.

  【Takaya Yamaguchi: Give me a blast! Charge now! 】

  【Takei Ichiro: Too much! Kato! 】

  Because there are too many messages from the two of them, I only read the last one and didn't reply.

   followed by Eri Ri and Shiwa-senpai.

  【Ying Lili: The first time you posted on Moments was to show off your girlfriend, you are really leisurely. By the way, the consignment books mentioned two days ago have been delivered to various bookstores today. If you are interested, you can pay attention. 】

  【Sister Shiyu: Summer greetings...I wanted to do this originally, but Kato-kun seems to be having a good time, so I omitted it. I look forward to sharing the plot when you return to Tokyo. 】

   So he replied to the two of them respectively.

  【I see, hard work, I will pay attention. 】

  【Thank you, sister, happy summer vacation. 】

   The last one is Hasumi-sensei.

  【Hausami Kanoko: Is Kato-san free recently? 】

   Kato Yusuke, who saw this news, was a little surprised, so he replied like this—[Sorry, teacher, the phone was out of power last night, so I didn’t see it, what’s the matter? ].

   Judging from the fact that the other party did not choose to call but used Line to contact, it should not be too urgent, so he also responded in the same way.

   This is an appropriate response. After all, in Japanese society that pays attention to personal privacy and space, if you just call directly because you see the news...

Although    may not apply to all situations, there is still a high probability of being unpleasant, and it is considered a type of ignorant manners.

   While waiting for the follow-up of the other party, he checked the circle of friends posted last night.

   In addition to the few people mentioned above, there are many people who have never posted a message and liked it in this state.

  Sato, Ito, Saito, An Yilun, Nakano-senpai…

While    glanced at these IDs one by one, the phone vibrated with a "buzz".

   Exit the circle of friends and return to the message list.

   Hasumi-sensei's account avatar has an additional "1" number mark on it.

  【Hausi Kanoko: Good morning. It's a bit sudden, but Director Yamashiro asked me to purchase some materials that will be used in the sports festival. Since this is also related to the student council, is it convenient for Kato-san to go with me? 】

   thought for a moment, then started to reply.

  【Yusuke Kato: Do ​​you mean the Autumn Games? But I'm still here in Saitama's hometown. I don't know when the teacher plans to go? 】

  【Hausi Kanako: Yes. In terms of time, maybe two days. Sorry to bother you, but the teacher in my group was supposed to be temporarily busy, but it was a bit reluctant to mention things alone, so I wanted to ask Kato-san if he had time. 】

  【Kato Yusuke: No, it’s okay. Speaking of which, the student union does have the same arrangement. It was originally planned to be held before the new semester, but it doesn't matter if it is earlier. So can I go back to Tokyo tomorrow? 】

  【Hausami Kanoko: Thank you, I really helped a lot! But after all, the teacher asked you, so Kato-san doesn't have to go back to Tokyo, I can just drive there. 】

  【Kato Yusuke: Do you want to purchase in Saitama Prefecture? 】

  【Hausami Kanoko: Yes, I just heard that there is a new large shopping mall in Saitama City, so let’s go there. 】

  【Kato Yusuke: So what about the time? 】

  【Hausami Kanoko: Hmm—it will be the morning of the day after tomorrow, okay? 】

  【Kato Yusuke: Understood, I have no problem. 】

   So things settled down.

  ◇

   Tokyo side.

  【Jiako: Last night's circle of friends, did you like it? 】

  【Hui: Hmm. 】

  【Yako: Why! ? (*｀ω)】

  【Mei: Hmm... there's no special reason, right? What's wrong? 】

  【Yako: That’s weird—! That's a photo of Kato-kun and his girlfriend. Don't you look shorter than that girl if you go to like it! ? 】

  【Mei: Sorry...the meaning is unclear. 】

  【Yako: Really—yes! That is to say, Xiaohui, you have to show a little more energy! There is no chance at all! 】

  【Yako: ...Xiaohui? 】

  【Yako: Why can't you read it? ? 】

  【Yako: Woah, shouldn't you be angry...? 】

  【Yako: -Sorry! I said too much, I'm really sorry! Can you forgive me if I treat you to parfait? ? (涙)]

  【Hui: I'm sorry. 】

  【Yako: Ha! ? Why are you apologizing-? Do you really refuse to forgive me? 】

  【Mei: That...I just went downstairs to get breakfast, so I left my phone in the room, sorry. 】

  【Yako: Huh, that means the message I just sent...]

  【Mei: Well, it was already read before I saw it. 】

  【Yako: What—don't scare me~~~~~~~~! Besides, you've been going too long just to get breakfast, right? 】

  【Mei: Ah, this...Sorry, because Mom seemed to forget that I was still at home and didn't prepare my portion, so I had to make some myself. 】

  【Hui: (sandwich.jpg)】

  【Yako: ...that sentence just now was a joke, right? ? 】

  【Mei: It would be great if it were. 】

  【Yako: Liar! It's too much, I'd definitely be angry if it was me. 】

  【Mei: It might be the case with Kako, but I know Mommy didn’t mean it, so it doesn’t matter. 】

  【Yako: You have such a good temper, Xiaohui! How about trying to express yourself more bluntly? 】

  【Mei: Even if you say that...I think I’m still expressing my thoughts well for the time being, but some things don’t need to be so stubborn, right? 】

  【Mei: By the way, Kako? 】

  【Yako: What happened? 】

  【Mei: You just said you would treat me to parfait, right? 】

  【Yako: It’s that one, um, that’s right~ So are you going now? I've been very busy lately. 】

  【Mei: Me too, do you want to go to Liutianma to buy something? 】

  【Yako: Ah! Great idea, go go go—! Then I asked Yamaguchi-san to join them. He also said that he wanted to buy a baseball bat. 】

  【Mei: That was a long time ago, right? Even summer Koshien is over now. 】

  【Yako: I know~ But isn’t there a Koshien Garden in Spring? I heard that the baseball club was asked to reflect on the loss of the previous game. Anyway, I'll ask first, and I'll let you know if I have anything. 】

  【Hui: Well, okay. 】

   The girl who finished chatting put her cell phone aside and started to eat the egg sandwich she made by herself. Her eyes accidentally saw herself in the mirror on the table.

   The soft jet-black short hair naturally floated just below the chin. Before the summer vacation... to be exact, it was the long hair that existed during the summer festival, but I didn't know when it returned to a bob.

   Looking at it, Megumin involuntarily rubbed the bangs on his forehead and muttered to himself, "Perhaps it is because of this that my mother subconsciously ignores it."

"But..." and then continued to add: "I am a plain girl... I express my feelings casually, and I will not be confused about my feelings, but I can't tell whether I am happy or angry, happy or not. Sad girl. This is me, Megumi Kato."

  … chanting the meditation mantra she composed by herself, inconvenient for others to hear, the room fell silently.

   Until the mobile phone on the table rang again.

   Received a new text message on Line.

  【Yako: Okay, Yamaguchi-san and Takei-san will come too. The time is set at 9 am the day after tomorrow. Can we meet at Shinjuku Station? Xiaohui. 】

   Putting the bite of the sandwich back on the plate, the girl tapped the screen of her smartphone with both hands and quickly replied with a message.

  【Hui: Well, you can. 】

  【Kako: Okkkkkkk～～～】

  …
