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

   Chapter 321 Determination (4k)

   A sourness surged up from the stomach.

   Intense, uncontrollable, rushing down the throat.

"Well-!"

   rang out in the living room with a muffled groan.

   Next second.

   The skirt of Mami, who had been snuggling up to Sayu midway and listening to her, suddenly became filthy.

   "Sorry...skirt...!"

   Even though his face was extremely pale, he still gave priority to worrying about soiling other people's clothes.

   Facing Sayu like this, Mami seemed to be ignoring the filth on her skirt, she didn't move, she just patted her back lightly with her hands.

   "It's okay Sayu-chan... Just wash your clothes and so on, but if Sayu-chan doesn't spit it out now, it's absolutely impossible."

   "Thank you... ugh..."

   It seems that he remembered the previous scene again, Sayu, who had just relaxed a little, vomited again on the carpet.

   Glancing at Sayu who was leaning on Mami, Kato Yusuke silently went to the bathroom to get a rag, and took a glass of water from a mug in the kitchen.

   "This piece is new, use this to wipe your clothes."

   He said that as he handed the rag to Mami, and then handed the mug to Sayu, and started cleaning the carpet himself.

"thanks…"

   "Don't do that."

   After drinking the water, Sayu let out a sigh of relief, his expression relaxed a little, and then turned his eyes to Mami.

   "I'm sorry, Mami, I'll go get you the laundry."

   Having said that, she immediately led Mami towards the wardrobe.

   Considering that the two would change clothes next, Yusuke Kato, who greeted them, walked to the balcony alone to give them some time to clean up.

  From a visit to the present day.

  Unconsciously, the night has fallen.

   looked up and saw a cold jade bow hanging high in the night sky.

   Thinking back on what Sayu just said, Kato Yusuke couldn't help feeling a little heavy.

  The biggest barrier between people is the inability to empathize.

   He couldn't be as sad as the girl, nor could he bear these pains instead of her.

   Looking back at the drawn curtain, Yusuke took out his phone from his pocket and started to make a call.

   First call Katsuya Nakamura.

  After a few seconds of waiting, the call was quickly connected.

   "Hello, Kato?"

   "Good evening, Nakamura-sensei."

   Kato Yusuke went straight to the topic, "I was interrupted by a sudden call, I have something I want to tell you."

   "Things? What?"

   "From the day after tomorrow, I want to take a leave of absence."

   "A period of time?" Katsuya Nakamura's words paused, and he continued to ask, "I told you, what exactly is going on with this ambiguous statement? At least clarify the time and reason!"

   "I have some things to deal with at home, if there is time... a month can..."

   "Huh? A month? There is a limit to joking."

   Katsuya Nakamura, who interrupted him, said: "Besides, you are still the student council president. Even the sports festival will end in a month. What are you going to do?"

   "Then how long can you approve?" Yusuke asked thoughtfully.

   "Give you a maximum of two weeks, with a valid reason."

   "I have something to do at home."

   "You said this just now, so what's the matter? Is your family sick?"

   "No, it's just that this matter is important to me."

   "...It's very important, but you can't tell the teacher, is that what you want to say?"

"Um."

  Katsu Nakamura, who was silent for a while, couldn't help but let out a sigh and said helplessly: "...Understood, then for two weeks, it's okay to write that you are not feeling well?"

   "Well, thank you." Hearing this, Yusuke Kato nodded and thanked him earnestly.

   "There's no need for this, you'll be back when the time is up."

"understood."

   "That's it, remember not to do anything dangerous."

  Katsu Nakamura hung up the call impatiently.

   Looking at the phone screen, Yusuke smiled and started to make a second call.

   After a brief blind tone…

"Hey…?"

  Eriri's voice came from the receiver.

   "Good evening, are you busy?"

   "I'm taking a shower, what's wrong?"

   "I can't go to the event in Ikebukuro tomorrow, sorry."

"what-!?"

   The other party's voice suddenly increased two degrees, and with the sound of rushing water, he seemed to stand up from the bath.

   "Wait, what do you mean by this? Didn't you say it well before!"

   "Well, I'm sorry, I encountered something, including the school that has to ask for leave." Kato Yusuke explained in an apologetic tone.

   "You actually said that the school would also ask for leave..."

  Eriri was stunned for a moment, then asked carefully, "Is it a very important thing...?"

"Yes."

"…Aha."

   A soft chorus drifted into his ears.

  The other end of the phone suddenly became quiet, and for a while there was only the weak breathing of the girl, as if she was thinking seriously about something.

   A few seconds later, Yingri said, "I see, I'll take care of things here, you... just go and get busy."

   "Well, thank you."

   "Well... After all, I am the founder of the club, so it is also a necessary duty to help you solve problems."

   "Then please."

   "You don't need to tell me I can do it, just leave it to me."

After    ended the call, Asami and the others also changed their clothes and called Kato Yusuke on the balcony back to the room.

   Sayu changed into the uniform that they first met, and as for Mami, she changed into a home uniform belonging to Sayu.

   saw him enter the room.

   Mami asked casually, "Kato Tsai, did you just call outside?"

   "Well, I got in touch with the school."

   "Hey..." The other party responded ambiguous. Although it seemed to be the same as usual on the surface, she could still feel the uneasy feeling in Mami's heart through the gaze she looked at Sayu from time to time.

  Yusuke then turned his attention to Sayu, and the girl gave him a soft smile.

   During the time he was on the phone, the two women seemed to be chatting about something. Sayu's mood was obviously calmed down, and he took the initiative to say, "Then, let's continue."

   "Are you all right?" Mami asked in a gentle voice after hearing this.

   "Well, I've calmed down."

   "That's it."

   After being quiet for a while, Sayu lightly pressed his hand on his chest, took a slow deep breath, and continued speaking.

   "After the knot..."

  …

After    Yuko committed suicide, I was plunged into an abyss of sadness and despair.

   Not only that, but I, who was in the same spot when she jumped off the building, became the object of suspicion first.

   School teachers, principals and police officers came to ask me many times.

   Being suspected of killing my friend made me feel very distressed. Fortunately, my mother agreed to my request not to go to school for the time being because of this.

   Over the next few days, the media started to flock to my house like crazy.

   Gossip about a small place like this always spreads very fast.

  I, who was a superfluous person, brought the trouble home.

   Mom also felt helpless about this.

  My brother, who was always busy, came home every day, comforting his hysterical mother, and taking time to visit me.

   Because of this incident, the three Ogihara family became more and more tired.

   And then one day, our family relationship was like a **** that burst and finally collapsed.

   "It's all your fault...!"

   Mom glared at me and said, this is the line she often talks about.

  Although I don't know the details, it seems that my mother divorced my father because she gave birth to me.

   "Why do other people's suicides torture us... Do you really have friends? You obviously have no feelings at all!"

"…sorry."

   In the face of my mother's emotional catharsis, I can only choose to apologize, and I am used to apologizing. As long as I endure it well, she will fall asleep contentedly because she is exhausted after being scolded.

   But that day, my mother didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly looked at me with wide eyes in horror.

   Just when I was puzzled by this…

   "Could it be... you really killed people?"

The words    ran through my body in an instant.

   "It's impossible! Stop joking!"

  As soon as I came back to my senses, I slapped her hard, the first time I used violence in my life.

   "It was the first time that I had a friend that I could make friends with, but the feeling of the other person dying because of me... Mom would never know!"

"you…"

   "If I'm so annoying, just disappear from your presence. I've had enough of your heartless words!"

   After a big fight with my mother, I went back to my room to pack my luggage, but when I went out, I bumped into my brother who just came home.

   After explaining what happened.

   Unlike the cold-blooded and ruthless mother, my brother not only comforted me, but also gave me a lot of money and told me to go home after calming down outside.

  …

   "...it was under such circumstances that I started running away from home for the first time in my life."

   Sayu spoke slowly, while Kato Yusuke and Mami listened intently.

   "I wanted to escape from that house as much as possible, so I flew directly to Tokyo."

   "It was the first time in my life that I was "free", but I just felt empty.

   During that time, I kept thinking about the meaning of my existence, but I couldn’t get an answer. "

   "My mother did not welcome my birth. Although my brother cared about me very much, I could feel that his tenderness contained "compassion". "

   "With the idea of ​​giving up, I didn't keep the promise of regular contact with my brother after that, and even my phone was thrown away after the battery was exhausted."

   "Until I ran out of money, I didn't even have the strength to think. Just when I didn't know what to do next, and I was wandering on the streets at night...

   I was approached by a drunk man who offered me a place to sleep. "

   Sayu stopped here.

   "Then what?" Mami couldn't help but asked aloud immediately.

  This situation is very dangerous just by hearing it, and the man obviously has no good intentions, and Mami is a little afraid to think about it.

"Then…"

   Sayu turned his attention to Kato Yusuke, sucked his red nose hard, and smiled softly.

   "As a result, Yusuke, who didn't know where he came from, came up and beat the man without any reason, and then I was taken home by him."

   "Huh...Is it Kato Tsai..." Mami showed a relieved expression, and leaned forward in a tone that was about to cry: "What, don't scare me, Sayu-chan."

   "I'm sorry, Mami." Sayu replied softly, and crystal tears slowly fell from her smooth face.

   "This is all my experience from Hokkaido to Tokyo and meeting Yusuke until now, thank you for listening to me."

   As she slowly spit out these words, the girl's expression seemed to become a little more relaxed, and even the heavy aura that had wrapped around her body dissipated a little.

  No matter what the beginning, at least in the end, she still encountered the redemption that belonged to her.

   Looking at Sayu, Mami thought so, and then slowly hugged this distressed girl.

   "You, Sayu-chan... you've worked hard."

   "I just, have been running away..."

   "It's not like that—!"

Mami first interrupted her loudly, and then said intermittently: "Even if it's escaping, at least you still have us, right? Whether it's Kato Tsai or me, we will never betray you. , so it doesn't matter."

   As if being infected by her tone, Sayu's eyes showed a shaky look, tears welled up in his eyes, but he nodded his head desperately.

   "…Well, thank you."

   As he said that, he put his hands behind Mami and hugged her back.

   First a soft sob, then a loud cry.

   The repression buried deep in my heart began to be released little by little.

   Looking at the face that was gradually becoming pear blossom and rain, Kato Yusuke couldn't even tell whether it was painful or happy tears for a while.

  While he was thinking about these things, Mami suddenly turned to look at him.

   "Kato Tsai."

"Um?"

   looked up suspiciously, and saw Mami was looking straight at him with serious and eager eyes, and said with a trembling voice: "Please, I must bring Sayu-chan back...!"

"Um."

   "I'll be waiting for you in Tokyo!"

"it is good."

   "Then when you guys come back..." Mami smiled, "Can I come to bother you again? As usual, I eat Sayu-chan's dishes every day, go to get off work and study with her."

   "It's hard to say about this kind of thing..." Kato Yusuke, who glanced at Sayu, kept his face secret, then shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if my girlfriend agrees."

   "Idiot, how could you disagree! Have you forgotten that we are close friends of one heart? Right, Sayu-chan?"

  “Mami…”

   Looking at Mami who was laughing and scolding, Sayu couldn't help but buried her face in her chest and nodded vigorously.

   "Well, we're best friends."

   "Look at it?" Mami cast a smug look at Yusuke, her eyes were red.

   Kato Yusuke smiled noncommittally, but the thoughts in his heart gradually firmed up.

   If everything goes well this time, it will be fine.

  If not, he will **** Sayu back even if he robs...

  …
