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

   Chapter 310 Strange Things (4k)

   Noon the next day.

  In a convenience store near a residential area.

   "Tsk, there are annoying questions."

  Mami, who was working on her desk during her break, suddenly smacked her lips, drawing the attention of Sayu beside her.

   "What's wrong?"

   "This one, this one." Mami picked up the modern Chinese reference book in her hand and pointed out a passage to her.

   "Why did Toyotaro say "——", please choose the correct answer from the following options... Hey, isn't this a very common reading comprehension question? "Sayou, who saw the title, was puzzled.

   "Aren't you good at this type of question?"

After    Sayu asked, Mami was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head in denial.

   "It's not that I'm complaining because I can't solve the problem, I just think this "choose the correct answer" statement is very popular. "

   "What?" Sayu tilted his head slightly in confusion.

"right!"

  Mami tapped the notebook harder, and said slowly, "The original text was not written down, so who knows what is right? How can we know what overtones the parties have when they say these words?"

   Hearing this, Sayu couldn't help but cast his eyes on his face.

   She didn't know the overtones of the original text in the reference book, but she could hear Mami's intended questions and dissatisfaction, and from this she thought of the other party's family conflicts and her friend's ideal that was not supported by her mother.

   A wry smile appeared on his face, and he felt a little hard to respond.

   And Mami herself was abruptly surprised as if she noticed this, and continued speaking in a tone of murmuring.

   "Well, but if the test questions were written by the author of this novel, he would know."

   "Well...but that's impossible, right? After all, it says the author is deceased."

   "That's right."

  Mami nodded at this, and remarked with some criticism: "The deceased author definitely thought like this, "No, I didn't write it with that kind of thought in mind, don't interpret me without authorization" or something like that. "

   "Pfft..."

   The exaggerated tone of resentment made Sayu couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing, "I don't think the person involved would have such a tone, but maybe that's true~"

   "Oh—that's a good answer!"

   So Mami also giggled for a while, then closed the reference book with a snap, shook her head and said, "I'm bored, let's take a break."

   After he finished speaking, he picked up the Pocari that was on the side and gulped down his drink.

   "Speaking of which, it's already summer, but it's still very hot at noon. It's a shame you can stay in such an air-conditioned room without breaking a sweat, Sayou."

   "Is that so? But calmness is naturally cool... Yusuke has said so, maybe you are too irritable to feel hot?"

   "Hey—" Mami narrowed her eyes and glanced at her, and said, "Yusuke Yusuke...you don't need to show your love in front of me."

   "I didn't mean that~ You just asked me." Sayu grinned and stuck out her tongue.

"Yes, yes, it doesn't matter how you deny this sentence." Mami leaned her body on the seat back carelessly, her wheat-colored skin was covered with a thin layer of sweat, so she couldn't help repeating it with her hands. Pull the placket to send the air inside.

   This action is a little sloppy, and at the same time, a small sling inside is faintly exposed, but because all the girls present, no one cares.

  “—Ask a question!”

   As if thinking of something, Mami's eyes flashed, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Last night, why did Kato Tsai confess his love to Sister Sayu, please choose the correct answer from the following options.

  A. He feels guilty for doing something bad.

  B. He loves Sayou with all his heart.

  C. He hated Asami Yuuki so he deliberately took revenge. "

   "What's the matter, your weird way of saying it."

   "Hey~~~ Isn't this your favorite reading comprehension question? And it's also a special customized version of Kato Tsai."

   "Ahaha, don't say it, it's funny!" Sayu shook his shoulders uncontrollably, "Besides, what's the matter with you saying that Yusuke hates you?"

   "It's literally, after all, I often go to your place to disturb you, right?" Mami spread her hands narrowly, as if saying "what I said is true".

"There's no such thing. I don't think Yusuke hates you, but he just doesn't know how to get along, right?" The girl thought for a while and said, and took a small black can from the tote bag in the cabinet. come out.

   "About what you said about the skin yesterday, Yusuke asked me to give this to you."

   “For me? This is…”

   "Beauty Cream."

   "Er—? No, why does Kato Tsai have such a thing??" Mami, who took the small black bottle, said in surprise.

   "Huh? Because you didn't pay much attention to skin problems yesterday, this is very effective."

   "It's very effective, that is to say, this is what Shayou Meizai used..."

   "Ah, that... um, um, maybe it's a little different." Sayu replied hesitantly, his expression a little embarrassed.

   and then added: "However, I did try this before, but it didn't work much later."

   "Hey...why?" Mami asked subconsciously, then sighed and shook her head.

   "Yeah, after all, you don't need these things at all, but it's a bit strange to be given this by your best friend's boyfriend, so I'll take it as your gift, Sayou~"

   After making such a joke, she graciously took the bottle of beauty cream and planned to try it when she got home.

   At the same time, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

  Since the conflict with Kato Yusuke, she has always been very aware of the gap between herself and the other party, and she has been troubled by it for a long time.

   Especially with a girl who is very important to both of them in the middle, this feeling is even more uncomfortable.

   And since Kato Yusuke is willing to ask Sayu to hand over this thing to himself, it seems to be a kind of relaxation.

   Although most of the reasons were probably out of gratitude for taking care of Sayu on weekdays, it still made her feel a lot better.

   "Then you can continue to rest, my rest time is over, so let's go to the front." Sayu said, glancing at the clock, and then got up from his seat.

   "Come on, I will continue to work hard."

"Um."

   Sayu lightly nodded his head, and his eyes stopped for a moment on Mami's face, who opened the reference book again.

  The other party's focused expression made her narrow her eyes slightly, feeling a little lonely in her heart.

   Then he shook his head vigorously, punched the card, and walked out of the office.

As soon as    Fang entered the store, an icy cold air came on his face, and the sudden drop in temperature caused goosebumps.

  Although it is already autumn, the store will still turn on the air conditioner depending on the situation, so as to provide the most comfortable environment for customers who come to buy things.

  The competition in the convenience store industry is so fierce.

   It is just that the employees wearing short-sleeved supermarket uniforms suffer. After all, staying in this cold environment for a long time will still make people feel cold.

   First, he glanced at the hourly worker aunt who was doing nothing behind the cash register.

   Nothing is more proof of the lack of business at the moment than the boring look on the other party's face... The girl couldn't help but think so.

   then began to silently replenish the items on the shelves.

  Thousands of thoughts flooded into his mind.

   Among them, Mami's devotion and hard work flashed before her several times.

   As a novelist who wanted to be a novelist, Mami had already started preparations early.

   Including her serious reading and hard work in pursuit of her dreams, she has always been seen by Sayu, which made her feel very dazzling and at the same time she couldn't help but think of herself.

   Unlike Mami, who keeps moving forward, her time has stopped since the day she escaped from her home in Hokkaido, along with her identity as a high school student.

   is also from that day.

   Whether it is the summer vacation that high school students are most concerned about or taking exams, these two words seem to have nothing to do with her, as if life has lost its direction.

   Until he was taken in by Kato Yusuke.

   Then he quietly tossed between housework and part-time work.

   While doing her job more and more handy, her identity as a high school student is also getting farther and farther away from her.

   Having said that—

   In fact, she is still studying when she has no housework to deal with. She even goes to the bookstore to buy reference books, and dazedly follows the progress of senior high school students.

   The amount of knowledge acquired through self-study is naturally incomparable with that of students who go to normal school. But even so, she thought it was better than not reading at all.

   If someone asked her if she wanted to take the exam or if she was considering further studies, she couldn't answer.

   Besides, she had no way to apply for the exam when she ran away from home.

   The more you think about reality, the more you will feel that your steps are vain.

   If you can marry Yusuke like this, and then go to society may also be a happy choice.

   Just thinking of that house in Hokkaido...and my mother, my mind went blank again.

   Not to mention that it's hard to imagine that his mother would let her go so easily, even Sayu himself, when he thought of how he would depend on Kato Yusuke to live in the future, there was some resistance in his heart.

  While worrying about these problems, time passed quietly.

   When Sayu, who had finished refilling the snacks, regained his senses, he realized that it was already half past two in the afternoon.

"what…"

   She couldn't help but snorted, and began to wonder if she should refill the drinks in the freezer.

   Just as she was making this plan and was about to take action, the hourly auntie standing behind the cashier suddenly waved to her.

   "Little girl, little girl, come here."

   There are only two of them in the store at the moment, but the other party has to speak in a low voice for some reason.

   This move made Sayu feel a little puzzled, but he still raised his foot and walked towards Auntie.

   "What's the matter? Auntie."

   "Shhhhh! Be quiet."

   A middle-aged woman also wearing a supermarket work uniform made a silent gesture, her eyebrows were wrinkled in the middle, and her eyes were staring out the window.

   "Did you see that car parked outside? It's the black one."

   "Black, car?"

   Sayu tilted his head suspiciously and looked out following the other party's gaze.

   "That's right, it's the one that only parked on the side of the road and didn't drive into the parking lot, see?"

   "Ah... there is indeed."

   "That's right!" Auntie nodded her head firmly, and said in a confident tone: "I see that the person in the car doesn't look like a good person, what do you think, little girl?"

"Uh…?"

   "Oh, what are you talking about? Auntie is asking you something, take a look."

   "Huh? Ah, um... Is there something wrong with that car?"

   Hearing Sayu saying this, the middle-aged woman glanced at her in disappointment, then sighed and said:

"That car has been coming every day recently, but I don't buy anything. And when I occasionally looked over, I found a man with sunglasses coming and looking at me. Do you think this is a problem? ?"

  Pfft…

   Although the other party said it very seriously, Sayu could not help but feel a little funny when she heard this, but she tried her best to endure it.

   Then he coughed lightly, weaving words: "Uh, since the other party is wearing sunglasses, then I don't know if he is looking over here, right?"

   "Not true."

Aunt    shook her head at this, obviously not accepting this statement, "They must be looking at this place, my intuition has always been accurate."

   "Yes, that's right...Ahaha." Seeing the other party's attitude, Sayu couldn't help scratching her cheeks, and then she looked at the car outside again.

  This time, she found something different.

  Because the surrounding area is not a luxury apartment area, most of the people who often move in this area are white-collar workers or housewives.

   However, the car outside is obviously more advanced and more luxurious than the common family cars around here.

  The all-black vehicle and dark glass make it difficult to see the people sitting inside.

   However, because the sun was directly facing the car window at this time, I could still see some silhouettes of people.

   As the hourly aunt said, the bald man sitting in the driver's seat had a pair of sunglasses on his face and looked really oppressive.

   And when Sayu stared straight at each other, the driver's head seemed to move a little too.

   Even though that person was wearing sunglasses, for some reason, it did give Sayu a feeling that the other person was looking at her.

  The inexplicable sense of unease prompted her to look away quickly.

   By now, I no longer feel that the hourly aunt around me is suspicious.

   then turned his head and asked, "Well, have you seen that car many times recently? Auntie."

"Well, it probably started from the day before yesterday." The middle-aged woman recalled: "Because he always parked in such a strange place, neither driving into the parking lot nor driving away, it was really suspicious... "

   "The day before yesterday..." Sayu murmured, and there was also a little doubt in his eyes.

   "Say it, little girl."

"Yes?"

   I just heard my aunt tsk tsk admiringly: "That car seems to be a Mercedes-Benz. In the factory where my husband works, their president drives this kind of car."

   "Mercedes?"

   "What? Don't you know—?"

   "Um, um... Sorry, I'm not very familiar with cars, so I don't know these things very well."

   "Is that so, isn't it? Anyway, you just need to know that the car is expensive..."

   Auntie stopped suddenly when she said this, and then shook her head as if bored.

   "Oh, forget it, I think I think too much. Speaking of which, how could a rich person be interested in us here? It's probably just a private meeting with mistresses and so on. Let's go to work."

   The gossip woman who raised the topic and finished it herself turned around and left, looking in the direction to sort out the magazine area.

   Sayu was absent-mindedly staying at the cashier, continuing to think about the reason why the car was parked in the same place every day.

   Just as she was thinking about this, there was a sudden engine sound outside.

  In the blink of an eye, I saw that black Mercedes-Benz drove away slowly.

  I don’t know where to go…

  …
