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

   Chapter 479 Today's Victory...

  Sawamura's living room.

   One asleep and two awake.

  The conversation continues.

   "...No matter how you say it, neither of these two names seems appropriate." Kato Yusuke carefully organized his words, as if groping in the dark.

   "Ah, are you talking about "mother" and "step mother"? Any questions? "Sawamura Sayuri's eyes curved down, pretending to be puzzled.

   "You are asking this knowingly." - Kato Yusuke wanted to respond like this, but resisted the urge.

  Whether it was "mother" or "step-mother", he couldn't say anything.

   The sense of shame in his heart is high, and he strongly resists these two titles.

   Seeing the interested look on the other's face, he said, "Because I'm not essentially a child of the Sawamura family, so this is inappropriate."

   "It's because of this consideration that it's okay to be called a "foster mother"? "

  Sawamura Sayuri smiled happily and sent an invitation.

   "Hey, Yuu, you can act like a puppet to me like Yingri? Can you become intimate with your adoptive mother?"

   "…Do you know that that title has a double meaning?"

   "Hey~~ Regardless of what I think, is it because Kato-kun doesn't want to call him that because he minds that?"

   "At least one of many reasons."

   "Huh~ So what? Which side is it?"

"…what?"

   "Which side bothers you more?"

  Sawamura Sayuri jokingly said: "Option A, because Kato-kun hates me, option B, because it's like I became Kato-kun's mother-in-law. Please choose~"

  —This person is simply having fun!

   The corners of Kato Yusuke's eyes twitched, and he forced a dry smile, "I choose C, obtuse angle."

   "Huh? What did you say?"

"nothing.

   In fact, my old man is still very old-fashioned. If he knew what I called him, he would probably be so angry that he would climb out of the ground.

   So please forgive me for not being able to do as you wish. "

   "So that's the case, that means the family discipline is hard to violate, right? Well, there's no way to do that."

   "Well, so Aunt Sayuri, can I continue to call you that? And I'm almost used to it."

  “Alas~~”

  Sawamura Sayuri sighed heavily and ate the taste:

   "Unfortunately, you just missed the route to the heroine's true ending? That way you won't be able to get the limited CG."

   "…Unfortunately, I haven't played a game with a similar theme."

   "Ah, so do you want me to recommend a few to Kato-kun?

  Although there are not too many works with the wife character as the heroine, and most of them are themes such as fall and NR, but there are still one or two works with pure love as the selling point? "

  “…”

   Kato Yusuke was just silent, while estimating the time to say goodbye in his mind.

   As if seeing through his thoughts, the other party shifted his face and said:

   "No way, if you just leave without saying goodbye, Eiri will definitely get angry later?"

"…I understand."

  Sawamura Sayuri laughed and stroked her daughter's hair with her hand, then picked up something from her hand and handed it over.

   "Anyway~ It's a bit boring to sit like this all the time, why don't we help this kid take care of his hair~"

   "Treat your hair...?"

   Kato Yusuke looked at the comb in front of him, hesitantly said, "Can I do it?"

   "That's right~ what's wrong?"

   "No, I think it's better for you to do this kind of thing, or I'll ask the maid to help."

  Sawamura Sayuri shook her head and said warmly:

   "Unfortunately, the maids and the others don't go to work today, and Leonard is also working outside, so we can only rely on us. Don't you want to?"

   After this reminder, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but look around.

  No one else in the big room except them, even the sound was quiet.

  Thinking about it, since he came here, he hasn't seen any bodyguards and maids.

  At first, he didn't think much about it, and he was distracted by a series of things later, and he didn't react until the other party brought it up himself.

   The current Sawamura family seems to be the only three of them.

   He frowned slightly in confusion, his eyes switched between the comb and Eiri in front of him, and said:

   "It's not so much whether I want to or not, it's better to say that Ying Riri doesn't like me touching her hair."

   "Hmm~ I see, so how about you hold this child and I comb her hair?"

"Uh…?"

   Looking at his stunned expression, Sawamura Sayuri said as a matter of course: "After all, there must be someone to help this child, right? Isn't it?"

  “…”

   Kato Yusuke glanced at Eiri who was half-held in her arms, knowing that he couldn't do that kind of thing.

   On the one hand, he helped comb his hair, and on the other hand, he helped hold Yingli pear.

   Faced with this alternative situation.

  He weighed the pros and cons of the two in his mind, and finally reached out and took the comb.

   "...I see, just brush your hair, right?"

   "Yes~"

  Sawamura Sayuri nodded with a smile, adjusted her posture a little, and turned her back to him, then asked:

   "Has Kato-kun ever combed girls' hair? Do you know what to do?"

   Kato Yusuke nodded slightly hesitantly, and replied, "Yes, yes, but this is the first time for hair of this length."

   "That's right~ Let's use my English pear to gain experience."

  Sawamura Sayuri said:

   "By the way, it doesn't matter if you hurt her a little~ Maybe you can just give her a little stimulation to wake her up.

   So don't be so nervous~ You can play with her at will~"

   "Can I ask a question?"

   "Huh? What's the matter?"

   "...Are you really Eiri's mother?"

   "Ahh~~~ Don't we look alike?"

   "…If you want to say something, usually a parent will say it to outsiders, can you play with your daughter at will?"

   "Yeah, I don't think so? But since it's Kato-kun, it doesn't matter~"

   "...Your trust makes me feel a little apprehensive."

   "Ah, this contrived way of answering, Kato-kun is really interesting."

  “…”

   Kato Yusuke twitched the corners of his mouth, and with a heavy heart, he reached out to the long blond hair and began to comb Eiri's hair.

  Because he didn't know how Ying Lili usually takes care of it, he could only fumble and operate according to his own ideas.

   First hold up a bunch of hair with your left hand, then press the airbag comb in your right hand on it, and then comb it down.

  The comb teeth slid lightly between the hair strands, making a subtle rustling sound, which was very pleasant to the ear.

  Sawamura Sayuri watched his movements and reminded him.

   "If there is a knot, just brush it down with force and boldness~"

   "You should be careful, right?"

   "Oh~ what a gentle child."

   "You're too out of touch, aren't you?"

   "Seriously, Kato-kun, can I ask one thing?"

   "If it's a serious question, please say it."

   "Hehe~ I just thought that you didn't push Yingri away when she fell on top of you just now."

"Is there anything wrong?"

   "Why don't you push her away~? Kato-kun should be able to do it easily, right? Or, do you like my Eri?"

   Kato Yusuke pondered, and Sawamura Sayuri didn't rush, just looked at him with that smile.

  No one spoke for a while in the living room, only the movement of combing hair was lightly sounded.

   After a while.

"…maybe."

   "Oops~~~!?"

   Didn't go to see the reason why Sawamura Sayuri was excited, Kato Yusuke slowly opened the mouth and said:

   "Like Aunt Sayuri, as you know, I don't have any family. In this regard, I like Eri Li very much, so I like to take care of her."

   "Hmm~ it's just family."

   "Yes, I think so.

   Although it may be more utilitarian to say this, the method I used when I first got Eiri to agree to my application for membership was not very honorable.

   Even so, she taught me a lot of things privately. Including you and Mr. Reynard accepted me, so I'm grateful. "

   The voice is not loud, but it is very sincere.

  Sawamura Sayuri gently hugged the daughter in her arms a little, and showed a smile with ulterior motives.

   "That's right, Eiri didn't tell us the inside story at the beginning.

   No wonder the kid was acting so inexplicable at the time, and suddenly told us that he wanted to invite a new member to the club. "

   Kato Yusuke nodded and said apologetically, "I'm sorry I kept hiding it from you and caused a lot of trouble for your family."

   "Well~ at least you kept your promise, didn't you? And you've always taken good care of Eri, so it'll be fine."

  Sawamura Sayuri continued.

   "I heard that you were the one who found the teacher behind her back when teaching outside school.

  Because this child has been in poor health since she was a child, we are actually very worried about letting her participate in such activities...but thanks to you.

  You don't have to feel guilty about it, it's even. "

   "Even if you say that... off-campus teaching, anyone would actually do that in that situation."

   "It's not just like that. I think Yingri also caused Kato-kun a lot of trouble, right? It's like forcing you to help with club work or something."

   "I don't find it troublesome, you and Mr. Reynard have taught Inri Ry well."

   "That's amazing! How can you make answers like this one after another!?"

   "I have received a lot of care from your daughter."

   "Ah~ that's really good! Let's continue."

   Kato Yusuke's expression became stiff, "Sorry, can we stop now and get back to the serious topic?"

  Sawamura Sayuri smiled, her expression a little mature.

   "The next thing I'm going to say may sound a little indifferent, but I think as long as Yingri can be happy, it doesn't matter if it hurts the hearts of other children. After all, this kind of thing will happen in life."

   "...I don't think it's an indifferent idea, but it's just that Eri-ri...isn't it possible?"

   When he said that, he nodded affirmatively to the convenience.

   "That's right, influenced by something in the past, Eiri can't do things that hurt others subjectively.

  Although this child looks tough and awkward on the surface, he is actually too simple inside, to the point of being a little ignorant of the world. "

   "I understand what you mean."

   "Isn't it right? I knew Kato-kun would definitely understand. You are much more mature than your peers, and you are the only one who will keep accommodating and taking care of her."

   Kato Yusuke shook his head with a wry smile, "You won the prize, but I didn't actually do anything great."

   "No~~~ You've done a lot already, right?"

"is it a lot…?"

   Seeing his puzzled expression, Sawamura Sayuri laughed softly,

   "You may not understand what it means now, but Eri has definitely changed since I met you, so thank you."

   "You beautify me too much, but I didn't do anything for you to thank me."

   "Really? But you'll never leave her alone, right?"

   "I'm not denying that, she's like..."

   Kato Yusuke thought for a while, and then said, "It's like a sister and family."

  Sawamura Sayuri lowered the corners of her eyes gently, revealing a smile that made him feel a little uncomfortable and confused.

   "I'm relieved to hear you say that and willing to stay by her side all the time~"

   "Please don't say that, it's me who should be thanking me."

   "Hehe, what a good boy. Sure enough, you should just call me mom."

   "You mean another mom, right?"

   Kato Yusuke looked at her face helplessly, and the two of them couldn't help laughing.

   "Then—" Sayuri Sawamura turned her face slightly and suggested:

   "As a reward for listening to me talk about my daughter's scriptures, you can hug Yingli pear now, this child is not only soft, but also fragrant and very comfortable~"

   "No, this is the only one."

   "Eh~~Why? I remember you've hugged many times, right? It's like that."

   "I don't know what Eiri said to you, but that was under very special circumstances!"

   "Hey~ you don't deny the soft and fragrant thing."

  “…”

   Kato Yusuke turned a deaf ear to this and focused on combing the hair on his hands.

   Incredibly silky strands of hair flowed down his fingertips, and the sun shone in from outside, making the blond gleam brightly and dazzling his eyes.

   is so beautiful, he whispered inwardly.

  At this time—

   "Even if you pick it up and smell it, your mother won't treat you as a pervert? Rather, it doesn't matter if a boy is perverted at all."

   "—I won't smell it! Enough with that meme, can we stop here for today's bad jokes? Aunt Sayuri."

   "Huh~ Has the period of rebellion suddenly come~?"

   "Sorry, I do have to admit one thing."

   "Huh? What is it?"

   "Compared to you, Eiri is indeed much easier to handle."

   "I hate it, it doesn't seem like a compliment, right?"

   "It turns out that you are conscious, that's great."

   "Huh~ But isn't there also a saying that "If there is a mother, there must be a daughter"? "

   "You're so different... I've come to realize that."

   "Did you realize it deeply? Really~?"

  Sawamura Sayuri looked at him with a smile and lightly parted her red lips.

   "So if me and this kid were wearing the same clothes, would you be able to identify us in absolute darkness?

  By the way, we don’t make a sound, so you can only tell by one way and another, right? "

   "Please stop making such weird assumptions!?"

   Tormented voices echoed in the living room.

  Today's victory and defeat, Kato Yusuke's defeat.

   After that, Kato Yusuke had no intention of staying for a long time.

   After greeting the sober Eri Ry hastily, he hurriedly left the Sawamura family's mansion.

  …
