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

  Monday's private Toyonozaki Academy, archery club.

   In the spacious dojo, a group of boys and girls in long gowns and hakama are doing training.

   The string sound of the bow and the movement of the target shot one after another, reverberating in the field.

   A little further away, Kato Yusuke watched this scene, and then said to the girl in front of him:

   "It feels like everyone has become a lot more professional now than before, both in terms of strength and aura, senpai is amazing."

   Nakano Ryoko smiled, "After all, it's going to be a kyudo competition soon, don't be nervous, you'll be the one who will be embarrassed."

   "May I ask when the archery competition will be held?"

   "December 24-26."

   "That's it."

   "Kato-san, do you still remember our promise?"

   was about inviting him to the archery competition when he visited the Nakano family's mansion last time.

   Kato Yusuke nodded bluntly and replied, "Remember."

"That's good."

  Nakano Ryoko also smiled and nodded lightly, looked at him and asked, "So, what does Kato-san have to do with me today? It shouldn't be a practice thing~"

"no."

   Kato Yusuke shook his head apologetically, and then said sternly: "Actually, I came today because I wanted to ask senpai for one thing."

   "What's the matter?"

With the sound of    being drawn one after another, the boy took a shallow breath.

   "Actually, I want to set up a non-governmental non-profit organization in the society, but I have encountered some problems in the specific application process, and I hope to get help from my senior."

   "...a non-governmental charity organization?" Ryoko Nakano tilted her head slightly and muttered in confusion.

   "Sorry, I don't quite understand Kato-kun, what exactly does this organization you want to set up do?"

   "In order to help a class of disadvantaged groups in society."

   "Vulnerable groups? Like the elderly and children?"

"no."

   Kato Yusuke denied it first, then paused and asked, "...Does senpai know the word God treats girls?"

   "God treats girls...?"

   "Well, those young girls who ran away from home for various reasons and had to wander outside, hoping to exchange room and board from strangers."

   The boy said in a low voice, keeping the conversation between the two of them.

   At this moment, Rao Nakano Ryoko was well-informed, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned by what he said, and blinked his eyes lightly.

   for a while.

   "...If I understand correctly, is Kato-san planning to set up an organization dedicated to helping such girls?"

   After all, this thing is simply bizarre.

   Not to mention that a student here is talking about setting up a public welfare organization, including the objects that the organization intends to help, and it is not a vulnerable group in the general sense.

   I really don’t know how to evaluate it.

   But it happens—

   "Senpai understands correctly, I do think so."

   Someone answered with a serious face, not joking at all.

  Nakano Ryoko thought for a while, then said: "...I don't know much about this group, why do you think they need help?"…

   "Although not all of them, most of them have gone astray because of poverty and homelessness, and there are not a few such people."

   Kato Yusuke took out his mobile phone and handed it over as he spoke, "My partner and I have compiled some information, senpai can take a look."

   Nakano Ryoko, who took over the phone, studied it.

  …

  God waits, literally translated as "waiting for the gods", is a Japanese argot.

   generally refers to the behavior of teenagers and girls who run away from home looking for sleepovers on the streets or online message boards.

Although    is not limited by gender, women are more common than men looking for accommodation.

  In Japan, after nightfall.

   You can often see girls who are dragging their suitcases alone, squatting in the park or beside the street.

   is especially common around Shinjuku and Ikebukuro.

   These groups of people usually post information on the Internet to seek help with food and accommodation.

   The so-called "God" in the word "God treats" refers to the person who provides food and lodging for girls who run away from home.

   But under the hypocritical mask of helping, these "gods" often hide some kind of unscrupulous attempt to give and take.

   In fact, pinning your hopes on others is a very risky behavior.

   However, for those girls who are cornered, they have no other choice.

  It must be said that God's treatment of girls is not the same as aid??.

The biggest difference in    is uncertainty.

  Those teenage girls also initially naively thought that they could get board and lodging for free without paying anything.

  According to Murphy's Law, things tend to go bad.

   In other words, the chances of them meeting good people are slim.

   Of course, it does not exclude the situation of being misled by men on the Internet and thus being persecuted.

   This is a relatively serious social problem.

   In recent decades, the Japanese police have also carried out several rectifications.

The    effect is there, but not eradicated.

   This is mainly due to the Japanese social structure.

   Whether it is the increasingly serious parent-child relationship problem or the extremely serious school bullying problem.

   Both have greatly squeezed the living space of young people, resulting in an instinctive confrontational attitude in the heart, but they are unable to fight back in the face of excessive external pressure.

   In addition, Japan still has a very serious problem of class solidification, which makes it difficult to shake the class, so it is easy to choose to escape.

  Although the specific approach is different, the result is a certain angle of giving up life.

   From a deeper level of analysis, the reason why God treats girls who choose to run away is not without the suffocation of interpersonal relationships and society.

  According to the public statistics of the Metropolitan Police Department, although there are about 80,000 disappearance reports every year, 86% of them are finally found.

  Most of them just ran away from home, and they did not encounter any vicious incidents, and the highest number of missing persons were in the 20-year-old class.

  …

"…I see."

   After reading the information, Ryoko Nakano returned the phone.

   "I understand the specific details, but can you tell me why you want to do this?"…

   Kato Yusuke was silent.

   He felt a little hesitant about whether to tell the other party about Xiao Xi.

   But in the end, he decided to tell the truth.

   So I explained the ins and outs of the matter.

   Of course, a lot of his inner sustenance and the memory of a certain girl were hidden in it.

   And after hearing these things…

  Pa Dong!

   A bamboo knife struck his head less gently.

   Slowly, the girl's slightly stern tone also entered his ears.

   "It's illegal to keep a girl you don't know without the permission of your guardian...!"

   The crisp sound of the bamboo sword attracted the strange eyes of many members, but he was immediately taken aback by the clear eyes of Ryoko Nakano who looked sideways, and they did not dare to look again.

   In the face of the girl's questioning, Kato Yusuke did not deny it, nor did he remove the bamboo sword on his forehead, but just looked serious.

   "...I have no intention of defending myself, but I am not ready to give up on this. I have already told my guardian that she will come to Tokyo to visit the family soon."

  “…”

  Nakano Ryoko retracted the bamboo sword in silence, ""A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall", Kato-san, have you heard this sentence? "

   "I heard it."

"Maybe your intentions were good, but that doesn't hide that you put yourself in a bad situation. Especially now that you're a public figure, do you know what the consequences will be if it comes out? "

"Know."

   Just finished answering…

"Hey-!"

Snapped! Another bamboo sword fell.

   This time it was the shoulders, and the strength was slightly lighter.

   "Knowingly committing a crime will be severely punished."

   "Sorry..." Kato Yusuke bowed his head apologetically and sat upright.

  Xu was influenced by the atmosphere here, and Nuo Da's dojo suddenly became quiet for a while.

   Even the movement of shooting arrows with a bow was not consciously much lighter.

   Until the girl's cold voice sounded.

   "—for what? Do any of you feel like you've practiced to the point where you're infallible?"

  “

  “

   "No, no!"""""

   "Then be careful."

  “

  “

"Yes!

  ”””””

   finished.

   The once stagnant sound of drawing a bow and shooting arrows resounded again with great momentum.

  Nakano Ryoko withdrew his gaze, looked at the boy who was sitting in front of him, and put the bamboo sword aside.

   "All in all, what you are doing now is very easy to criticize, Kato-kun."

"Um…"

   "Then, when are you going to go to that girl's relative's house?"

"tomorrow."

   The girl narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "Are you going to go together too?"

"I think so."

"-madness."

   The unceremonious evaluation made Kato Yusuke at a loss for words.

In the    peripheral vision, the slender hand sticking out from the sleeve of the snow-white robe seemed to want to take the bamboo knife again, and then gave up for some reason.

   After a brief silence.

   "…If you want to help that girl, there are other ways, right? For example, simply providing financial support."…

   "That can't solve Xiao Xi's family problems."

   "What if I said I could let her enter the welfare facilities of the government department and find her a better family?"

   Kato Yusuke raised his head unconsciously, "Better family...?"

   "That's right."

  Nakano Ryoko nodded as usual, her tone a little elusive, "Or, anyway, are you going to adopt that girl?"

  “…”

   Kato Yusuke closed his lips tightly, struggling a little inside.

   For him, although his desire to help Xiaoxi is true, it does not mean that he is a saint who can help the world.

   As he once said in front of Megumi, he just couldn't escape the shadow of the past, trying to put some of his emotions in this way and obtain spiritual comfort.

   It is really good to let Xiaoxi enter the orphanage and find a new family.

   He also believes that with Nakano-senpai's ability, it is not difficult to do such a thing.

   If he hadn't spent the week with Xiaoxi, he might indeed have accepted this arrangement.

   But now, he doesn't seem to be able to do it.

   In other words, he couldn't send Xiaoxi, who was so similar to Sayu, to a place beyond his reach.

   calmly overlooked the situation, maybe it was because he saw the part he was trying to hide that the senior in front of him said this.

  “…”

   Kato Yusuke took a deep breath and looked directly at the other person, "...Sorry, senpai. I promised that girl that I would make her my family."

  Nakano Ryoko was not surprised at all, she just raised her hand slightly, pulled a lock of hair that was hanging in front of her face behind her ear, and pondered for a while.

   "...In that case, don't go for the visit tomorrow. I'll see if I can do something. You go back and wait for my notice."

   "What...?" Kato Yusuke was confused for a while.

   "Don't understand? Kato-san, it's a bit too conspicuous for you to do this kind of thing as a public figure. I will arrange for others to accompany your guardian. You just need to wait quietly."

   Without saying a word, Kato Yusuke bowed sincerely.

   "Thank you, Nakano-senpai."

"nothing."

   Ryoko Nakano shook his head and said in a joking tone: "After all, it was a request from the lovely junior. As a senior, I can't stand by and watch~"

   "There is also the public welfare organization you mentioned. I can also ask you about it, but what are you going to do with the funds? If you don't have influence and credibility, it will be difficult to raise donations from the society."

   "Regarding this, I will give a fixed portion of the proceeds to maintain the operation of this organization."

   Kato Yusuke explained: "Maybe not many people can be helped initially, but we can start with a few people and take it slow."

   "Like being able to help one is one?"

   "It's almost like that."

   "How are you going to help? It's not about turning everyone into a family, right?" Ryoko Nakano looked at him with a half-smile.

   Kato Yusuke rubbed his nose with a wry smile.

   "Senpai is joking, this kind of thing is enough, I don't have that much spare energy to do that kind of thing. …

   As for how to help... I haven't figured it out yet, but at least let's start with providing basic room and board. "

   "So how are you going to choose your subjects?"

   "It's mainly an online message board. In addition, I am preparing a special website for those who need help to leave a message on it."

   Nakano Ryoko couldn't help but be silent for a while when he heard this, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "...It looks like you didn't just come on a whim."

   "...just some immature ideas, which made my sister laugh."

   "I was a little surprised, I didn't expect Yu-Jun to be an idealist."

   "Uh...Yu-kun?"

   "As a peer, you impress me a bit, so let me call you that in the future."

  “?”

   Looking at the smiling girl, Kato Yusuke didn't know how to respond, but nodded ignorantly.

   "So, what about the name of the organization?"

"…name?"

   "Have you not thought about it yet?"

   Kato Yusuke thought for a while, then whispered back: "Just call OSY..."

   "OSY?"

   Nakano Ryoko frowned slightly and said to himself:

  ""OutstandiheYear"...It doesn't seem right. Is it "OutofSchoolYouth", the meaning of out-of-school youth? "

"no."

   Kato Yusuke shook his head, "This is just a name I came up with casually, senpai don't care."

   "That's it..."

  Nakano Ryoko gave him a noncommittal look, but he didn't care about it, and instead said:

   "In short, I know everything. You-kun, please send me the organization information, and I will see what I can do."

   "Thank you, senpai, I really appreciate it!" Kato Yusuke bowed again and thanked him with sincerity.

   But the girl refused to take credit, just smiled and waved her hand.

   "Don't worry about it, You-kun, just do your best."

  …
