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

   Chapter 341 Back Online (4k)

   Half an hour later.

  Using the address recorded on the mobile phone, Kato Yusuke returned to the apartment belonging to the identity of Iwanami.

  The room area is about 15 square meters.

   A bed, a table and chairs, plus a wardrobe built into the wall is all the furniture.

  Although there is a kitchen, there is no gas stove, only a household induction cooker on a small kitchen cabinet to make up the number.

  The room is equipped with a toilet and a bathtub.

   Although the space is narrow, it can meet the needs of daily life.

   is an ordinary single apartment, or a kennel…

   Kato Yusuke is not picky about these, as long as there is a place to bathe and sleep.

   After examining the room, his attention was quickly drawn to the table in the center...or rather, the things on the table.

   It was a large yellow envelope, which seemed to contain something, with a slightly bulging volume.

   Reach out to take it in your hand, open the seal, and turn upside down.

  唰 la la, pop.

   A few banknotes and a passbook fell into the palm of his hand.

  【One thousand yen bill】x10

  【Passbook account amount: 250,000】

  The password is written on the back of the envelope.

   I don't know if it was left by the parents...

   Kato Yusuke thought about this for a while, but because of the lack of information about the two people, he really couldn't extend his thoughts.

  I quickly put it behind me and started thinking about something else.

   The most interesting thing about him is his current state and the identity of Iwanami.

   After all, his name has changed while his appearance remains the same, so it's hard not to think about the reason.

   If you look at the theory of time travel, if this world is the same as the world he originally lived in, then the "he" in this period should still be studying in junior high school in Saitama Prefecture, preparing to take the exam.

   and not something else…

   In order to confirm this conjecture, he decided to do some tests.

  Do it when you think of it.

   Kato Yusuke pulled out a chair and sat down at the table, then took out his mobile phone and started calling some numbers in his memory...

   First is the English pear.

  “…”

   is different than expected.

   When he pressed the call button, the receiver did not hear the "beep-" waiting blind tone like when making a normal call, but was completely silent.

   Waited about 10 seconds.

  The phone disconnected the call on its own and returned to the dialing interface.

   No signal?

   Yusuke couldn't help thinking this, but when he saw the full signal in the upper right corner of the screen, he frowned slightly.

   But this is nothing, after all, there may be cases where there is no signal from the other party.

   Then called Shiyu-senpai.

  “…”

   The same long silence as before.

After waiting for   , the interface returns to the numeric keypad for dialing.

   Kato Yusuke, who was staring at the screen, frowned deeply and thought for a while.

   The crow was croaking outside the window, as if mocking him.

  After hesitating for a while,

   Finally called Megumi.

  “…”

   is still the familiar silence, still returning to the dialing interface by itself.

   Kato Yusuke was silent.

   Three people in a row fail to talk, what is the probability of this happening? This can no longer be explained by coincidence.

   An eerie silence filled the room.

   As if to break the situation, Yusuke tapped the table with his fingers.

   A pair of sword eyebrows were tightly locked together, and the expressions in their eyes kept changing.

   After a long time, he let out a sigh.

   Because there are too many missing elements, it is really impossible to prove the situation.

   If the system is there, then maybe there will be an answer.

   But thinking about it, judging from the attitude of the other party, there is a high probability that he will not tell him anything.

   Even so, he didn't want to give up so easily.

   After pondering for a moment.

   Kato Yusuke took a deep breath and calmed down.

   then started typing on the numeric keypad and entered the last string of numbers.

   That is the number he used to use when he was in Saitama Prefecture.

   If this time is the same as before, then he must re-evaluate the world.

   A sense of tension arises spontaneously.

   But now there is nothing to hesitate.

   Kato Yusuke couldn't help but feel very strange at the thought of talking to his past self.

   raised his hand and pressed the dial button, and waited quietly.

  “…”

   couldn't tell how long he waited, just when he thought that this time would also end in failure, the phone did not return to the dialing interface as before.

  “…toot…”

   The clunky blind sounded.

   followed by—

   slap rub, slap rub.

   A faint snowflake sound flashed through his mind.

   "...Please stop the current behavior immediately, otherwise there will be unknown consequences!"

   An electronic female voice rang out in her head.

   An indescribable warning omen rose from his heart, as if the hairs on his whole body stood on end, making his scalp tingle.

   And in that second.

   appears below the string of phone numbers on the phone screen, and new changes have taken place.

  —【00:00】

   That means the opposite side has pressed the answer button.

   Without any hesitation, Yusuke Kato immediately ended the call.

  “…”

  The screen of the phone went dark.

   Probably regarded him as a harassing call, and the other side did not call again.

   "...What did you just mean? System."

  “…”

   There was silence in my mind, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

   "Open panel."

   A transparent blue interface emerges in front of you.

   "Open the store."

   "Open task."

  …

  The store and task functions are the same as usual, and they can be opened smoothly.

   Obviously, the system has returned to normal.

   To confirm this, Kato Yusuke turned up a palm.

   "Exchange for small dried fish."

   "10 points have been deducted."

  【Remaining Points: 1260】

   A bag of dried fish appeared out of thin air in the palm of his hand.

   Yusuke asked again, "Is this the world of the past?"

system:"…"

   "What is the identity of Iwanami?"

  “…”

   "Will there be any impact on talking to your past self?"

   Slightly slower by two or three seconds.

   "…Please complete the task as soon as possible, the long-term stay in this world will have unknown effects, I wish you good luck."

After    left those words nonchalantly, the system fell into silence again.

   Kato Yusuke thought hard for a while, and had some guesses in his heart, and finally smiled.

  Although the system didn't seem to answer anything, the previous blocking behavior itself was actually a reminder.

   That is, this is not a parallel world, but the real past, and there is still the "he" of the current period.

   It’s just that for some unknown reason, he can’t connect with himself in this world.

  Although I don't know the reason, I don't understand why only "his" number can be dialed, but Hui's number can't...

   But as the system said, these are not issues that he should consider at present.

  From beginning to end, he should have only one goal.

   That is to change the tragedy that happened to the girl and complete a redemption.

  Thinking of this, my mind suddenly became clear.

   Kato Yusuke is no longer obsessed with figuring out the principle, nor is he obsessed with investigating the identity of Iwanami...

  Although he already understands why he can't use his real name, after all, there is another "he" in this world.

   As a visitor from the future, if he continues to act in his original capacity, there may be some unknown impact.

  Thinking like this in a systematic way, he tore open the package of the dried fish and ate it with relish.

  Eating and eating, Yusuke couldn't help but think about the situation on the girl's side.

   After thinking about it, he took a photo with his mobile phone and sent it to the other party.

   After about ten seconds, a "read" mark appeared on the screen.

  【Sayu: …what? 】

  【Iwanami: Good evening, do you like to eat small dried fish? 】

  【Sayou: ? ? Not like. 】

  【Iwanami: I found a very delicious dried fish, and I will bring it to you tomorrow. 】

  【Sayu: I said I didn’t like it…】

  【Iwanami: Understood, then if it was "couple feeding", would you be willing to eat it? 】

  【Sayou: Absolutely—won’t eat it! 】

   Kato Yusuke couldn't help laughing dumbly, even through the screen, he seemed to be able to see the other party's expression of resistance.

  【Iwanami: On the other hand, can you make a little more for tomorrow's bento? 】

  【Sayu: …Why do I do such a thing? 】

  【Iwanami: Is it your love for classmates who live alone, and thanks to me who enthusiastically sent Weijiao home? 】

   I don't know if I'm angry or speechless, although the message immediately displayed "read", but the other party took a while to reply.

  【Sayou: ...you are really, very, very cheeky. 】

  【Iwanami: If I exchange dried fish with you, will you be happy? 】

  【Sayou: …Sorry, I have to study later, what’s the matter with you? 】

  【Iwanami: About that event at the ball game...? 】

  【Sayou: Indifferent wave.jpg】

  【Iwanami: Do you mean to tell me to come over to you? 】

  【Sayou:……】

  【Sayou: I said, why? 】

  【Iwanami: What do you mean? 】

   It took a few beats.

  【Sayu: …If you just want to date girls, you should have many choices, why is it me? 】

  【Iwanami: Not why it is you, but it must be you. 】

   [Sayou: It's inexplicable. 】

  【Iwanami: If you use fate to explain it here, will it feel very old-fashioned. 】

  【Sayu: …I wish you had this kind of self-awareness in other things too. 】

  【Iwanami: It was one night in Tokyo, a boy and a girl met... 】

  【Sayou: ? ? ? ? ? 】

  【Iwanami: Anyway, you just need to know that I will always be on your side. 】

  【Sayu: If you don’t want to get into trouble, it’s better not to approach us. 】

  【Iwanami: Trouble or something, I like it the most (full of love). 】

   [Sayou: ...weird, why do you use a girl's tone, it's disgusting! 】

  【Iwanami: Are you smiling now? Can you take a picture for me? 】

   [Sayou: Nothing (anger). 】

  【Iwanami: Okay, let’s do this for now, I’m going downstairs to buy a bento, and we’ll talk next time. 】

   Kato Yusuke, who felt almost the same, took the initiative to end the conversation and started packing.

   Even if the current situation is good, the girl seems very interested.

   It’s just to get out at this time, leaving a little suspense and anticipation for the next chat, which is also a little trick.

   After all, this time is different from the past. Sayu in this period is not his girlfriend. It is necessary to properly grasp the sense of proportion and distance, and keep the other party curious and fresh about him.

   With this thought in mind, Kato Yusuke shook his hands comfortably, and prepared to go downstairs to buy something to solve dinner.

   Just as he got up from the seat, a slightly sour feeling suddenly rose from his calf.

   This feeling is so slight that it is easy to ignore.

   But Yusuke still felt it clearly.

  This made him stop the leg that was about to move, looked down suspiciously, and moved his hands and feet at the same time.

   A trace of sourness came from his limbs.

The feeling of    is very strange, as if his originally strong body was suddenly weakened in some way, making him feel a sense of weakness after a long absence.

   Although it is a feeling of weakness, it is actually the normal state of body muscles that ordinary people will appear after strenuous exercise.

   Just because he has always been too abnormal, this normality has become abnormal for him.

   Kato Yusuke could not help frowning slightly, then raised one hand, slowly clenched his fist, and gradually increased his strength.

   Click, click.

   There was a crisp sound between the fingers.

   One after another blue veins emerged under the skin of the wrist, full of a strong sense of strength.

  The strange thing is that after he consciously started to control the muscles.

   The sour feeling just now was like a hallucination and disappeared in the body.

   He slowly opened his palms, stared at them, and checked them repeatedly.

  The slender fingers have distinct knuckles, which are a pair of hands suitable for playing the piano and a pair of hands suitable for massaging people.

   looks no different from the usual…

   However, the sour feeling just now clearly stayed in his mind.

   Kato Yusuke couldn't help but feel suspicious, and then thought of the previous sentence of the system.

  —“Please complete the task as soon as possible, the host. Staying in this world for a long time will have unknown effects. I wish you good luck.”

   He didn't think the feeling of weakness just now was his own illusion, and he didn't think the system would deceive him on this kind of thing.

   Then the only possibility is the influence of the current world on him.

   is like rejecting him, making him clearly realize that he cannot stay here for long and must leave as soon as possible.

   However, this kind of thing is beyond his control.

  Because he didn't know the specific time of Yuko's incident, he could only infer from Sayu's previous remarks that it was a certain day before the summer vacation.

   Besides the school, Sayu's sick family is also a problem that needs to be solved.

   Now that he has come here, he must clear all obstacles and hidden dangers, otherwise he does not think he has a second chance.

  Thinking of these things, a sense of urgency arises.

   However, how to do it specifically, how to do it, still needs to be carefully thought about.

   Kato Yusuke shook his head and decided to buy dinner before making plans.

   reached out and pocketed the money in the envelope, and he went out.

  …
