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

   Chapter 423 The Missing Girl

   In the afternoon of the next day, it was a cloudy and rainy day.

  The dreary rain that had been falling since the morning had formed several puddles like traps on the street.

  The two presidents who had finished their work in the student council both carried their umbrellas and walked to the platform of Toyonozaki Station, and took the train home together after a long absence.

certainly-

   here refers to the kind that go back to each house.

  Although the two of them communicated normally, the girl seemed to have made up her mind not to go to someone’s apartment easily until Aksaka Akane’s mystery was solved.

   In such a situation.

   Even though Kato Yusuke could choose to wait for the next train to avoid the embarrassing situation he might encounter, but that would be too deliberate, so he just calmly got on the train with Megumi.

   And so.

   The two will have a brief ride together before arriving at the station near his apartment.

   In this cloudy and rainy weather, even the tram was a little cool, as if to inform the approach of winter.

   After entering the carriage, the girl immediately observed the surrounding environment to find out if there were possible vacancies.

  Unfortunately, due to the dual factors of time and weather, they could not find a vacant seat in the carriage, so they could only choose to stand on the handrail near the door.

  Megumi was near the corner between the door and the row of seats, while Kato Yusuke stood beside her, isolating the surrounding crowd with his body, creating a fairly comfortable space.

  The folded umbrella was placed beside his feet, and the raindrops slid down the smooth umbrella surface like dew, dripping on the ground, converging into a small piece of transparent water next to the small black leather shoes.

  The girl moved her footsteps lightly and stepped on it inadvertently, and the water surface spread out like hydrangea without anyone knowing, producing many tiny water splashes.

  The light reflects the scattered water droplets, reflecting the slender calves outlined by black stockings, the dark blue sailor skirt with a sense of autumn, the red ribbon tied in front of the chest...

   and the pink hairpin pinned to the short leaden hair.

  Crescent-like eyebrows, clear spring-like eyes, and cherry blossom-like lips.

   All the beautiful fragments are combined together to depict the delicate and delicate appearance of a girl like a poem.

   is not dazzling, just peaceful and demure.

   is like a weeping cherry tree that hides in a place no one knows, and blooms quietly.

   "Hey, Yusuke?"

  Mei gently opened her cherry lips and asked casually, "Want to listen to music together?"

   A slender and white hand held up a unilateral earphone and quietly presented it in front of him, clearly and clearly sending out an invitation.

   Kato Yusuke glanced at the other white earphone on her left ear, said a good word, then reached out to pick up the earphone in her hand and put it into his right ear.

   A slender white digital wire built a bridge and connected the two.

   "Do you have any particular songs you like to listen to?"

"It will be all right."

   Hearing this, Kei looked up at him, then looked down at the mp3 screen. While choosing the track, he opened his mouth and replied: "This answer is the most nerve-racking..."

  The pink hairpin swayed gently on the temples of the forehead with the rhythm of the tram, emphasizing its own existence in the field of vision, and people couldn't help but want to reach out and fix it.

   Kato Yusuke's eyes swayed for a while, then changed his mind and asked, "So is there a song by Riefu?"

   "Which song is it exactly?"

   “LifeIsLikeABoat.”

   "Well, this is true, just wait a moment."

"it is good."

  The girl gently slid the control button with her right thumb and quickly found the corresponding song.

   "I found it, it's an old song, shall I start playing it?"

"Um."

   The green finger presses a little harder, and presses the play button in the center with a "beep".

  「Nobodyknowswhoireallyam…」

   The female singer's unique voice rang in her ears.

  The rhythm of the music is soothing and lazy, with a little calm loneliness, which makes people relax.

   bang bang bang bang~

   Tram runs through the rain screen.

  The cloudy sky looks gray, and with the slightly sad lyrics, I always feel that even the time has become blurred.

   As if tired, Megumin leaned her upper body against the metal wall of the carriage, closed her eyes and listened carefully.

  Her hands hang naturally on her thighs, one leg is straight and the other slightly bent, and the bent foot is against the wall with the heel of her shoe.

  The whole person presents a natural state of relaxation, exuding a fresh and quiet atmosphere.

  The two are immersed in the same song.

   Kato Yusuke stared at her, his eyes fell on the long, thick black eyelashes, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes.

  Mei, who returned to the student council, became the assistant again, put away the light on her body, hid herself behind him, and silently gave company and help...

   "Speak up, Yusuke."

  The girl suddenly raised her long eyelashes, opened her eyes and looked at him, her eyes looked like black grapes soaked in water mist.

   Kato Yusuke, who was in deep thought, couldn't avoid it, turned his face away and responded with a delay: "...Well, what's wrong?"

   "...It's nothing, it's just that my test scores may drop this time, I just want to tell you this." Hui said softly, her indifferent voice like the elegant sound of water.

   "Which subject has a problem?"

   "Well...I think maybe there is a little bit of it, sorry, but you have been bothering to give me guidance before."

   "No, I also have something to trouble you." Kato Yusuke turned his face, thought about it, and said, "I can continue to help if needed."

  “…”

  Mei stared at him for a while, her eyes were between **** and godlessness, then she raised her hand to pull up a strand of hair that was floating in front of her face, and asked, "Is this what you mean by inviting me to the house?"

   "I mean school and outside."

   After a pause, Yusuke added: "You can go to my place if you want."

   "That~~ but Yusuke looks troubled, do you want me to go or not? To be honest, I'm a little worried if I'm causing you trouble."

   "I don't think so." Kato Yusuke pursed his lower lip and whispered, "Otherwise I will get the spare key back."

   bang bang bang, the sound of the tram echoed in my ears.

   It took a few beats.

   "...Well~~~ I'll think about it then." With that, Megumi stood up straight, moved a few inches forward, and faced him, with a distance that was about to touch each other's toes.

   Then, cautiously, slowly, he rested his head on his chest.

   "...That's great, I'm very concerned that I will become a troublemaker, thank you for saying that." The girl murmured, and the sound she played was like a spring breeze blowing past.

   The light weight was leaning on his chest, and the scent of the shampoo lingered on his fluffy hair, which faintly drifted into Kato Yusuke's nose.

   He felt a little itchy and a little anxious, so he turned his face away and pretended to know nothing.

   "Hey, I said... Yusuke."

  “…?”

   "Do you know something about why Kasumigaoka Shiyu-senpai didn't come to the student council?"

  “…”

   Kato Yusuke was silent for a while, then nodded, but didn't say much.

  Mei waited for a while, but never got an answer. She raised her head from his chest, looked at him and said, "You still... don't tell me anything, Yusuke."

   Kato Yusuke's eyes moved slightly, he opened his lips, thinking about preparing to respond.

At this moment…

  —squeaky.

  As the tram stopped on the track, the door also opened with a "chirp".

   The people who were going to get off at this stop started to walk out.

  “…”

  “…”

   Kato Yusuke raised his hand and took off the right earphone and returned it to the original owner, "Thank you for the earphone, then I'll go first."

  Mei nodded lightly, took a step back, and said, "See you next week, Yusuke."

   "See you next week."

   After saying goodbye, Kato Yusuke lifted his foot and got off the train, while Megumi, who had not yet arrived at the station, stayed on the train.

  The door closed again after a moment of opening.

   Across a door, the boys and girls looked at each other.

  As Megumi waved her hand gently, the train started to move slowly, and it disappeared from sight at the end of the field after a while.

   Kato Yusuke turned around and walked outside the station...

  …

   Returning home with an umbrella, and before I could change my shoes, the phone in my pocket vibrated with a humming sound.

After    connected the phone, Machida Yuanko's anxious voice could not wait to reach his ears.

   "—Hello?? Is it Kato-san? Has she contacted you, Xiaoshi?? We were outside for an event, but she disappeared as soon as I didn't pay attention, and no one could be found anywhere!"

  The phone was mingled with the noise of the heavy traffic, as well as the sound of the pattering rain.

   Kato Yusuke couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then he stopped taking off his shoes and responded calmly.

   "Sorry, Machida-san, Shiyu-senpai has not contacted me, where are you now?"

   "Tiewentang Bookstore in Hehe City!"

   "When did Shiyu-senpai disappear? Did you try to call her?"

   "I've been trying to contact her about an hour ago, but the phone is off!"

   "Did you not call the police?"

   "I tried, but because the time is too short, the police station will not accept it for the time being. I'm sorry, Xiaoshi's mood has been not right recently, I should pay more attention!"

   Machida Yuanko's voice was full of rapid breathing, as if he was running around on the street.

   "Anyway, I will continue to look for it. If Xiaoshi contacts you during this period, please let me know as soon as possible! Brother Kato."

   The other party paused when he said this, then took a deep breath and continued: "...If you still can't find it in the end, you must contact Xiaoshi's family."

   "...Understood. If there is any news, I will contact you as soon as possible, Miss Machida."

   "Hmm! That's it."

  du—

   ended the call.

   "Hehe City..." Kato Yuujie murmured solemnly, put the schoolbag on his shoulders on the floor of the corridor, and then meditated in his heart.

  ‘Exchange Tracker. ’

  【Successful exchange of tracker, 1000 points will be deducted. 】

   A small black instrument appeared in his hand.

  【Tracker: It can accurately locate the specific position of an object, the error is less than 15 meters, and the number of available times is 3. 】

   "Follow, Shiyu Kasumigaoka." Kato Yusuke recited to the instrument in his hand.

   Next second.

   With a wave of water shaking, a white arrow appeared on the screen.

   Kato Yusuke picked up the umbrella again, turned around and pushed the door out.

  …

   Took an hour and a half.

   When he came to Hehe City, it was already evening and it was completely dark.

   It was also raining in Hehe City. The pattering rain was not too heavy. Compared with the rain, it was more like fog.

   Kato Yusuke held an umbrella and walked all the way to the highest hill in Hehe City, and stepped into the observation deck built here.

   The sky was gloomy as if it was about to fall.

   The world in front of you is blocked in the rain threads that are as dense as a bead net.

   Looking into the distance, there is only a vague outline of the street, buildings, and pedestrians.

   Located at the fence on the edge of the observation deck, a tall and slender girl was standing there, just staring at the city in the rain, not knowing what she was thinking.

   Kato Yusuke stepped forward, stretched out the umbrella in his hand to support the opponent's head, placed him under the umbrella, and whispered, "Sister Shiyu."

  “…”

   faced his appearance.

   Shi Yu didn't seem surprised at all, or hid similar emotions, just turned his face slowly, and said to him in an elusive tone:

   "Heh...Although I have fantasized about a similar plot, I didn't expect you to actually appear in front of my eyes like this. Good evening, Yu-chan."

  “…”

   Kato Yusuke ignored it and just looked up and down the black long straight beautiful girl.

   The girl in front of her is still wearing the school's autumn uniform, and it seems that she has come to Hehe City since she left the school.

   Also, I don’t know how long I’ve been here.

   Her uniform that was supposed to be dry and tidy was soaked by the rain, which brought out her plump and slim figure.

   The hem of the skirt, which was soaked with moisture, was close to the thigh, and even the toes wrapped in black stockings were soaked, creating a visually charming effect.

   "...Miss Machida has been looking for you, senpai."

   Kato Yusuke took off his stand-up collar jacket and draped it over the other person's body, wrapping the delicate body that made people wonder where to look.

"I know."

   Shi Yu was very obedient, and just let him put his coat on his body, but he didn't explain much, just stared at him closely.

   "Where's senpai's phone?"

   "Shut down."

   "At least say hello in advance."

"I'm not a primary school student who has to carry an alarm when I go out. Besides, I spent both primary and secondary school here. I am familiar with this place as if I was in my own room. Would you even tell others when you are in your room? ?"

   Careless sophistry with a strong personal touch.

   "You can do whatever you want... Anyway, I'll contact Miss Machida first, and then I'll take you back."

   Kato Yusuke took out his mobile phone and started to make a call to Machida Yuanko, but in the next second, a cold little hand blocked the mobile phone screen.

"-before that."

   Shi Yu said softly: "After a week of Cold War, don't you have anything else to say to me?"

   The ethereal voice merged with the sound of rain, echoing quietly in my ears.

  …
