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

   Chapter 335 A long way to go (4k)

   Facing Sayu with a cold attitude, Kato Yusuke never found a chance to talk to him.

   Even though he knew it wasn't the other party's fault, he still felt a little bit of a gap.

   One side is Sayu who relies on him, and the other side is Sayu who ignores him.

  The strong sense of contrast and separation keeps circling in the mind, bringing a groggy feeling and making people dizzy.

   also clearly reminded him of the difference.

   Although he knew that the person sitting there was his girlfriend, but to Sayu in this world, he was a complete stranger, and naturally he would not have a good face.

  Thinking about this, Yusuke Kato was silent for a while.

   One class was spent in this torment.

  It's lunch break.

   "Rise and salute."

"goodbye teacher."

  The history teacher who had packed up his textbooks nodded to everyone and turned to leave the classroom.

   Kato Yusuke immediately walked towards the girl, trying to use the next period of time to contact and establish contact with the other party.

However…

   "Hey, Iwanami-san, Miss Misaki from Class 1 told you to go to the gym to find her.

  The news from the door once again became a hindrance.

  Yusuke pretended not to know about this and kept walking.

   Not to mention that he doesn't know where the gym is, and he doesn't know that Misaki-sensei, at least now he wants to talk to the girl first, and he can talk about the rest later.

   But just as he was about to walk to Sayu's side, a hand stretched out from beside him suddenly placed on his shoulder.

   "Iwanami-san, someone is calling you."

   A hearty voice sounded from behind.

   turned his head to look.

   Appeared in front of him was a boy with mid-length hair that was parted, with a smile on his clean and clean face, exuding the same refreshing taste as his voice.

   Whether it is from the appearance or the atmosphere around him, the person in front of him is obviously a person with a high status in the class, but he does not know each other.

   patted the other's hand on his shoulder and asked, "Who are you?"

   Hearing this, the boy couldn't help but startled slightly.

   Before he could respond, someone next to him took the initiative to interject.

   "Wow, to ask such a question to Saito-kun, is it a new type of bad joke?"

   Another boy who seemed to be a good friend, just jokingly gave Saito an elbow in the abdomen, in exchange for him to stop making trouble.

   "I'm sorry, Iwanami-san."

   Saito, who turned his eyes back, stretched out a hand in a handshake gesture.

   "Let me introduce myself again, I'm Saito from the basketball club, please give me more advice."

   Having said that, a very natural and hearty smile appeared on his face again, which made people seem very friendly.

   Kato Yusuke nodded, but instead of shaking his hand, he turned to look forward.

   The girl was no longer there, and I don’t know where she went.

   This made him click his tongue and said, "Sorry, I still have something to do, so I'll go first."

   After saying that, he turned around and walked out, leaving the two boys where they were.

   Watching the back of his leaving...

   "What's the matter, does that kid have a conflict with you? Saito." The boy with long hair asked.

   "I don't think there should be such a thing." Saito silently retracted his hand, and shrugged his shoulders pretending to be free and easy, "Maybe he is this kind of character."

   "Hey...is that another guy with a dark personality? I can't stand it."

   "Sympathy."

   "Hey...whether it's the "princess" or that guy, why are there such people in our class, they don't fit in at all. "

   Saito didn't answer this, he just glanced thoughtfully at a seat by the window, then looked at the direction where Kato Yusuke was leaving, his brows couldn't help wrinkling.

   "By the way, this is the second time you've been rejected like this, right? What do you think~?"

   The long-haired boy laughed maliciously and continued: "And I remember that the transfer student also talked to the "Princess", and he still called him by his name, maybe they have secretly got together? "

   "Stop talking, Taniguchi."

   "Wow, Saito has a scary expression."

  “…”

   "I know I know, I won't say it, so let's go to dinner together? Partner."

   "...not in the basketball club, don't use that name."

   "Yeah...really, you definitely put your anger on me, right?"

"what are you saying?"

   "Nothing to say~"

  …

   Gymnasium, in front of the office of the women's basketball club.

  Boom, boom.

   "Please come in."

   Hearing the voice inside, Yusuke Kato pushed the door and walked in.

  In the room with the smell of antiperspirant spray, a middle-aged woman who looked a little stern was sitting alone at the conference table and cast her eyes.

"You are?"

   "Hello, I'm a student in Mr. Shibata's class, and someone just told me to come here."

   "Shibada-sensei... Oh, are you Iwanami?"

   Kato Yusuke nodded slightly in affirmation, his eyes fell on the other side.

   He has neat short hair that reaches his chin. He is wearing a dark blue shirt and a long black skirt. He looks like he is about 3 or 40 years old. The slightly raised slender eyes have sharp eyes, giving people a sense of rigor.

   "Are you Misaki-sensei from Class 1?"

   "That's right, you already know the specifics, right? I won't say more. In the afternoon, you come directly to the area of ​​Class 1 as a substitute."

   Sure enough, you don't have to play...

   Kato Yusuke pondered in his heart, his eyes swept over the table similar to a training plan on the other party's hand, and then thought about it and said, "Can I ask you a question?"

"question?"

   "I heard that Class 1 needed foreign aid because of a lack of talents."

  Misaki-sensei nodded, "That's right, is there any problem?"

   Yusuke continued to ask: "I want to know the number of players in Class 1?"

   "Without you, there are 6 people in total."

"so little?"

   As if feeling a little unhappy with his words, the other party could not help frowning slightly, but explained it anyway.

   "These problems shouldn't exist originally, but the ratio of males and females in Class 1 is imbalanced, and the girls can't participate, so it became like this."

   Mr. Misaki sighed and muttered to himself, "We definitely won't lose in the women's game, but the result was a men's basketball..."

   Although the voice was small, it was still heard by Kato Yusuke.

   His eyes moved slightly, and then he continued to chat with the other party.

   Following Mr. Misaki's remarks, he also had a clearer understanding of the ins and outs of the whole thing in his heart.

   In a nutshell, presumably this school decided to hold a ball game before the summer vacation.

   And the 1st class with strong women's basketball strength was unfortunately drawn to 3rd class in the previous lottery, and the game was still played in the form of men's basketball.

   The impact of this was that it was difficult to gather the basic number of participants in the first class. In order to allow the main players to take a rest in the middle of the shift, they borrowed people from the third class.

   After understanding these things, Kato Yusuke didn't say anything more, he said hello to Misaki-sensei and left.

   'The Sensei Misaki from Class 1 doesn't seem to want to give in easily...'

   Walking on the way to the teaching building, Yusuke thought silently.

   Then he quickened his pace a little and rushed back to the classroom.

  The atmosphere in the class was bustling, and the students who were close friends gathered together, chatting and laughing, eating lunch boxes, but there was only one figure he wanted to see.

   Originally wanted to ask the people in the class about the girl's whereabouts, but when everyone heard what he wanted to ask, they either said they didn't know, or they responded negatively, as if they didn't want to get into trouble.

   thought for a moment.

   Kato Yusuke turned around and walked back to the corridor, followed the stairs all the way up to the door leading to the rooftop.

   This is the only place she can think of where the other party might appear.

   Raise your hand to grasp the handle of the metal door, then turn it.

   With a "click" sound, the metal door opened in response.

   The dazzling sunlight made him narrow his eyes slightly, and a sultry air rushed towards his face.

  The fluffy clouds float leisurely in the sky, lazy and comfortable.

  Under the blue sky, two girls were sitting on a bench near the railing of the rooftop.

   Disturbed by the sudden intruder, both women cast their gazes at the same time.

   Kato Yusuke had a smile on his face, as if it was brighter than the sun.

   Under the gaze of the other party, he slowly walked towards the two of them.

   His eyes fell on the two girls.

   In addition to Sayu, who has been looking for a long time, there is also a girl with two braids sitting next to her, with some freckles on her face, and a pair of rustic black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose.

   "Good noon, may I join you?" Yusuke greeted with a smile and stopped in front of the two women.

   Hearing this…

"Eh?"

The    braided girl first stared at him blankly, then lowered her gaze as if she was inferior, and squeezed the bento box on her lap nervously with her hands, with a nervous look on her face.

   In contrast, Sayu's performance is much tougher.

   is like a mother beast protecting her cubs. The other party stretched out his hand to block his friend and stared at him vigilantly, and said, "Excuse me, can you find another place? The place is full."

   "Full?"

   Kato Yusuke's gaze fell on the bench, he was lost in thought about the half position beside the girl, and muttered: "It's okay to squeeze..."

   But the next second.

   "Full!"

   Sayu repeated the words again, and moved a little to the side, taking up the small space with his body.

   "Well, then I'll just sit here."

   Yusuke nodded, unable to help but sat down on the ground with his legs crossed.

   The two women who saw this scene widened their eyes in surprise.

   "Huh...?"

   "Sit here... Wait, what are you thinking?"

  The ground scorched by the sun was very hot, and the scorching temperature was transmitted into the skin through the pants, causing Kato Yusuke to move from side to side uncomfortably, and involuntarily let out a murmur.

   "Ah, so hot..."

  The air was suddenly quiet for two seconds.

   followed by—

   "Puchi... uh, huhuhu..." The girl with braids suddenly covered her mouth and laughed as she thought it was extremely interesting.

   On the other hand, Sayu tilted his head slightly in confusion, his eyes switched between his friend and the boy in front of him, not knowing what to say.

   After laughing for a while.

"that…"

   The braided girl who seemed to think someone was harmless asked timidly, "You're Iwanami-san, right? Are you looking for us for something?"

   "Nothing special, Yuko Masaka-san."

   "Eh—? Why...know my name."

   Kato Yusuke shrugged.

   "Because you are a kind girl...I want to say that, but in order not to misunderstand Ogihara-san, let me tell the truth."

   After saying that, he turned his eyes to the side with a refreshing smile on his face, "Actually, I want to be friends with Ogihara-san, is that okay?"

   Masaka Yuko blinked and turned to look at her friend as well.

   When he saw the other party, he also had an expression of surprise and dazed expression, as if he did not expect to hear such words from other people.

   "Why?" Sayu asked, "Contact us shouldn't do you any good."

   "That's not right."

   Yusuke shook his head and said word by word: "There is nothing more important to me here than you, so are you willing to agree to my request?"

  His voice was very light, but it was as gentle and moving as a whisper between lovers, with a sincerity and hope that came from the heart.

   Faced with words like a confession of love.

   Not only Yuko Masaka, who was listening in, blushed slightly, but even Sayu flashed a trance on her face.

  Squeak, squeak.

  The cicadas chirped, and a strong wind blew.

  The emerald green leaves swayed and rustled in the hazy afternoon wind.

  The clean white shirt, the bangs blown by the wind, the teenager smiling in the sun... It's like the midsummer season that came early, colorful and gorgeous.

   Staring at the scene in front of him, Yuko Masaka opened her mouth and wanted to say something.

   It’s just…

   "Let's go, knot."

"what…?"

   Before she could react, Sayu wrapped her arms around her and made an impatient look to leave.

   Seeing this, Yuko subconsciously glanced at Kato Yusuke, and saw that the boy was smiling wryly, and his delicate face looked a little sad, which made people feel unbearable.

   then looked back and asked, "But wouldn't it be good to leave Iwanami-san here like this...?"

   "Mazaka-san is right, and in order to find you, I haven't eaten yet." Yusuke stood up from the ground with a bitter expression on his face.

   "So pitiful..." Yuko murmured, and after hesitating for a while, pushed out his bento, "Well, I haven't eaten this before, if Iwanami-san doesn't mind..."

   "Thank you for your kindness, Sansaka-san, but no need." Kato Yusuke shook his head and took a natural step forward, "My stomach is more used to Ogihara-san's cooking."

   finished.

   He grabbed a piece of Tamagoyaki from the chopsticks in the girl's hand and threw it into his mouth calmly and ate it.

"good to eat."

   Someone exclaimed in praise, without feeling that there was anything wrong with him.

   Yuko Masaka's eyes widened immediately, and subconsciously let out a small exclamation.

   "Ah... I ate it."

   There was silence for more than ten seconds.

   Until Sayu frowned in disgust and broke the silence.

   "Pervert! Let's go, knot."

   "Huh? Ah, um... Got it, wait, don't be so fast."

boom!

   There was the sound of the metal door crashing from behind.

   Look up at the sky, the sky is as blue as the sea.

  Recalling the girl's talent just now, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said to himself, "So my girlfriend is so hard to chase..."

  …

   Thanks for the reward of [Where there is arrogance, there is me].
