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

   After leaving the haunted house, the two strolled down the corridor.

  Unconsciously, there were fewer tourists than in the morning.

   Kato Yusuke has no intention to observe these, but just walks aimlessly with heavy thoughts.

When    turned a corner, Eiri who was walking in front suddenly stopped.

   Kato Yusuke also stopped.

  This is in front of the student guidance room. Because there are no crowds in the two adjacent classes, it forms a relatively quiet space.

   "Ah, really!"

The    girl turned around and glared at him, scolding: "You have to say something! Isn't this very embarrassing!"

  “…”

   Kato Yusuke raised his eyes to look back at her, his eyes fell on the soft cherry mouth unconsciously, and then moved away unnaturally.

   "…sorry, but I don't know what to say right now."

  Eriri instantly showed a sullen expression, lowered her eyes and said:

   "You won't leave me because of this, will you? You said you wouldn't alienate me, and you promised yourself..."

   Kato Yusuke clenched his fists tightly, carefully reconsidered in his heart, and then let out a heavy sigh.

   "…To be honest, about your thoughts, I was wondering if I should reply, or give an answer."

  “—!”

   Ying Lili's heart suddenly panicked, and she said anxiously: "Wait! Why are you speaking like a confession??"

"…what??"

   "Because, because! I haven't confessed to you again, you should stop being affectionate...!"

   Kato Yusuke tilted his head slightly in confusion, "Then what was your behavior when you were in the haunted house just now...?"

   "Uh, that, that was just my impulse..."

  Eriri blushed and didn't start, and stammered: "...how to say? I was taken by you to visit the haunted house, my head and heart were hot, so I didn't realize it..."

   The voice became smaller and weaker.

   "Is it impulsive..."

   Kato Yusuke looked into her eyes hesitantly, "Then what do you mean now...?"

  “…life talks.”

  Eri Li pretended to look out the window, and occasionally glanced at him secretly from the corner of her eye.

   "...I hate being treated as a younger sister by you all the time, or, I hope you can treat me as a girl in the future! This is my trouble and life negotiation!"

   Kato Yusuke was stunned for a moment, then frowned in confusion, "Even if you say that, I have always regarded you as a girl..."

   "No, no, no, no—"

  Eriri shook her head vigorously and retorted, "You're just treating me with what you think is a good attitude... That's not what I want...!"

   Ignoring the speechless Kato Yusuke, she continued.

   "I don't hate you being an older brother, but I hate that older brother who always treats me like a child...!"

   "Compared to taking care of me wishful thinking... Shouldn't you also listen to my heart and respect my thoughts?"

  “…!”

   There was a hint of sadness in his eyes full of tension.

  The slender eyelashes drooped down in the sunset that was about to set in the west.

  The flow of people in the corridor gradually accelerated.

  …

   Some students are rushing to the next destination, some are busy attracting guests, and people are coming and going without stopping.

  The two did not identify the figures of those people, and the noisy voice had nothing to do with them.

The    crowd is just a background to them, a monotonous and quaint ambient sound effect.

   Kato Yusuke couldn't help feeling suffocated slightly.

   Ask yourself, before today, he never regarded each other as an equal, but a sister who needs to be taken care of like a family.

  Although he feels that everyone around him is equally important, subconsciously, he will not put Eiri and other women on the same concept.

   As the other party said, this is indeed a kind of wishful arrogance, so he cannot refute it.

  Bewildered for a long time.

"So…"

   Kato Yusuke took a deep breath, touched the back of his neck, and said slowly, "What are we going to do now, do you want me to treat you as a love object? Or family?"

  Eriri's eyes flashed with panic, she swallowed unconsciously, lowered her head, and then raised her head as if praying.

   "...on the basis of family, I want you to see me as a girl!"

   "I said... Do you know what you're talking about? It's a family member and a girl. These are two completely different concepts. What do you want others to do?"

   "I don't care, I don't care, I just want to...!"

   "Well, even if you say that...if you can't do it, you can't do it, these two relationships are not the same for me..."

"-OK!"

"Uh…?"

   "As long as it's Yusuke, it's sure... sure...!"

   A brief silence.

   "...You seem to be too sure." Kato Yusuke lowered his head, "Even me, there are many things that I can't do."

   Ignoring the other's wavering eyes, he said slowly and firmly: "...So, if you need an answer, I can tell you."

   "—I said I don't want it!"

  Eriri stepped forward and covered his mouth, "...At least not now."

  “…”

   Even through a mask, Kato Yusuke could vaguely feel the soft fingertips that were trembling slightly.

The    girl put down her hand and continued: "Why, what's more, I'm not confessing, why are you answering me...!"

"…What does it mean?"

   "It's literally! There is no confession between us now, today is just my life negotiation, it's over."

   This is a self-delusional statement, but at least it allows her to continue the game progress instead of entering the badend branch early.

  Eriri said tremblingly: "So what happened in the haunted house just now, you just...you just..."

   "You don't need to care" - Kato Yusuke thought he would hear this sentence, but it backfired.

  Clap!

  Eriri took another step closer and stood in front of him, looking directly into his eyes.

   Then, the client took a deep breath, clenched his fists and closed his eyes.

  "—you have to be careful!

  ”

  …

   The girl shouted with all her strength, making Kato Yusuke, who was mentally prepared, instantly dumbfounded.

   "I can't take that as if it didn't happen! So you have to remember it too.

  I hope you don't treat me like a family member, but I hope you treat me as a girl and a love object! "

  Eri Pear kept panting and lowered the volume again.

   "However, I'm not ready now. Because I haven't sorted out my mind, I will never admit that today's event is a confession."

   The client opened his eyes when he said this, and forced himself to look straight at him.

   "On top of that, although I don't know if that day will come, if one day I'm ready, I'll seriously challenge you and sink you... Just be conscious!"

   Kato Yusuke was stunned.

  The corridors were full of people during the school celebration.

   Attracted by the loud shout at the beginning of Ying Lili, all kinds of look at the lively eyes gathered together.

   Kato Yusuke's complexion changed slightly.

   "Idiot, are you crazy... Anyway, I've written down what you said, leave here first!"

   He didn't care to feel the shock in his heart, he hurriedly took off his coat and put it on the girl's head, then pulled up the other party and ran to the stairs quickly, taking the road to escape.

  The two ran in the lively corridor one after the other, and the clichéd words of several executive committee members were all forgotten by them.

  Eri Li slightly lifted the jacket over her head and stared at his tall and straight back, a small smile spread across her flawless face.

   seemed to be very funny, and the girl burst out laughing.

  ◇

   5:30 PM.

  All foreign tourists in the school leave the venue and return the campus to the students again.

   In the fully-filled gymnasium, most of the students and teachers gathered here to prepare for the closing ceremony.

   The disguised Kato Yusuke put on his uniform again and returned to the 1st Class E team.

   "Yo, Kato, your kid is really haunted."

   "Indeed, I haven't seen Kato all day today."

   Yamaguchi and Takei, who were sitting in the back row of the team, turned to look at him.

   "What are you doing today? We wanted to call you to go to the cultural festival, but we couldn't find anyone anywhere."

   "Sorry, I have a little thing to do."

   "It's coming again, it's saying that you're an excuse at all, right?" Yamaguchi asked with disbelief: "Otherwise, tell me, what are you busy with today?"

   "Life Talk."

"What?"

   "Someone asked me for a life consultation, and I'm basically dealing with it today." Kato Yusuke said calmly.

When    heard this, Zhujing couldn't help being a little dumbfounded, "Wow, no way, is your student union still in charge of this kind of work??"

   "Occasionally, there will be people who come to complain about their troubles, but most of the time, Megumi is there to receive them."

   "What a surprise, there is such a thing, so why is Kato you receiving today?"

   "You're such an idiot, Takei, what is there to do. Of course, Kato-san has been busy with our class activities, so this guy has to do it himself?"

  …

   "It's too much to call others stupid!? Ah Xiao!"

   Ignoring Takei's protest, Yamaguchi looked at Kato Yusuke with a smile.

   "Speaking of that Kato-san, what are you going to do later, Kato?"

   “…what and how?”

   "Stop pretending to be stupid, of course it's the folk dance of the evening festival. Are you planning to invite Kato-san to dance?"

   "Ah, speaking of this."

   Takei also echoed, "I remember in our school, if you take the initiative to invite others to dance at the evening festival, it seems to mean "please hang out with me"? "

   "That's right. So you invited Kato-san, or did the other party invite you? Kato."

   Facing Yamaguchi's wink, Kato Yusuke couldn't help frowning slightly and replied:

   "...We haven't invited each other, but thanks for your reminder, I'll invite Shiyu-senpai now."

   After he finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and acted.

  At the same time, the lights in the museum also dimmed, and the spotlights above the stage became the only light source.

   The girl who was the director of the executive committee took to the stage and announced loudly.

   "Then, the closing ceremony of the 9th Private Toyonozaki Cultural Festival begins now—!"

The sound of    came out through the speakers, and sounded the prelude to the end.

  …

   Wait until the speech part is over, and then it is the selection of the project.

  The girls of the executive committee hold the list in their hands, and announce the top ten most popular items in this cultural festival in order from back to front.

   Skip the last seven and go directly to the top three that are highly anticipated.

   "Third place, drama department, "Rhapsody of Harmony" stage play!"

   woo woo woo woo-

   Immediately there was a warm applause from the audience.

   Several members of the drama department stood up from their seats excitedly, shouting and hugging each other, tears flashing from the corners of their eyes.

   The expressions of the audience who saw this scene became gentle, and the applause became more and more enthusiastic.

   After three days of performances, the drama department has already proved its strength through superb performances, and it is well-deserved to win the top three.

  The **** the executive committee waited for a while before continuing: "Then the second place... eh? Animation Marathon Appreciation, one year class a... An Yi Lun also...??"

   The astonished voice was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears through the speakers in the museum.

   Taking this as an opportunity, the applause that had not yet completely subsided suddenly fell silent, and the gymnasium of Nuoda suddenly became silent.

  In the blankness of this cold field, an excited boy's voice suddenly rang.

   "Hey hey! Did you hear that, Lunya! It says you are the second! It's too strong—!"

   followed by a voice full of impatience.

   "Ah, I heard it, and I heard it clearly, what about you, Xiyan! Don't shake other people's shoulders casually! Hey!"

   The voices of the two were not loud, but they were clear and inexplicable.

   Almost everyone present heard their conversation, so…

   "Boom" all of a sudden, the crowd exploded!

   "What are you kidding!? There must be something wrong with this—??"

   "That's right! You said that animation appreciation would be second? Did you make a mistake—!"

  …

   "Can't we have so many clubs that we can't compare to one that shows animations—??"

   "We need an explanation—!"

   Feeling strong suspicion and dissatisfaction with this ranking, the crowd erupted into commotion.

   In the face of this group of angry scenes, the girls on the stage could not help but feel a panic.

   But immediately, other members of the executive committee trotted onto the stage and sent her a document.

  The girl hurriedly glanced at the information in her hand, with a little more confidence on her face, and brought the microphone to her mouth.

   "Everyone—! According to records, the animation screening event at this cultural festival has set a record for the highest number of people present in the room!"

   Like a duck strangled by its neck, the noisy environment quieted down.

  Everyone looked at An Yilun in disbelief. The expressions on their faces were astonished and speechless. They were choked to the point of being speechless. Finally, they sat down again with displeased faces and died.

  The hall was filled with sparse applause, full of compassion and charity.

   Perhaps seeing people's resistance, the **** the executive committee smiled wryly, and did not dare to delay, and hurriedly announced the next project.

   "In the end, it was the No. 1 place with the largest number of receptions, the highest turnover, and the highest popularity at this cultural festival—! One year E class, maid cafe~!"

  “

   "Yeah~~~!

  ”””

   There was cheers from the girls off the field.

   "It's President Xiaoyu's class~~~!"

   "President Xiaoyou is the best~~~!"

   "President Xiaoyou, come on~~!"

   No one doubted this, and everyone applauded.

   In Class E of the first year, the students were both happy and helpless, and they all turned their attention to the boy sitting at the end.

   In the mocking voice of the Mangosteen brothers, Kato Yusuke could only nod his head apologetically to his classmates.

   After all, except for the morning of the first day, he never made any contribution to the class, but now he has become the biggest contributor.

  —It makes people feel a little helpless.

   Fortunately, everyone knows that he can't be blamed for this, so he didn't make a fuss for too long.

   After the announcement of the winners, the girls from the executive committee gave the final highlight.

   "That~~~~~Then next is the last part of the closing ceremony, which is this beauty pageant. The girl who won this year's championship is—"

  The girl dragged her tail and deliberately hung up the audience's appetite for a while before giving her answer out loud.

   "One year f class, Sawamura and Yingri, please come to the stage to accept the award~!"

  In the blink of an eye—

  Wash la la la la-!

   The loudest applause and cheers erupted in the arena.

  In this well-received atmosphere, Ying Lili walked slowly onto the stage. With every step, the light skirt swayed.

  Under the dazzling spotlight, the girl wore a delicate silver lady's crown and a ribbon representing miss Toyonozaki.

  From a distance, the silver crown complements the gorgeous blonde hair, and the pearls and sequins adorning the crown are also dazzling.

  The audience was all distracted, and immediately cheered and applauded even more vigorously.

   "Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo! It's Sawamura-san-!

  …

  ”

   "Oops! Sawamura-san is so pretty!"

"awesome-!"

  “…”

   Unlike Kato Yusuke at that time, the noisy crowd at this time is mainly male, but the girls are also looking at the stage with longing.

  The radiant client stood in the center of the stage, smiling and waving at the boiling audience.

   Kato Yusuke looked forward in an unusually silent manner.

  The center of the stage lit by the spotlight is undoubtedly the most suitable place for girls, beautiful and gorgeous.

  At a certain moment, the two people on and off the stage suddenly looked at each other.

   Ying Piri's originally calm expression suddenly froze, and a red glow flew over her snow-white cheeks.

   She subconsciously wanted to look away, but somehow stopped.

   Then, the girl gestured to pull up her skirt, and gave him a distant salute with a graceful manner, with a hint of mischief on her face, and then waved her hand to the crowd again pretending to be calm.

  Because of this action, the boys couldn't help jumping up from their seats, raising their arms and shouting.

   "I declare! From now on, Yingri is the cutest in the world—!

  ”

   "Bah! How old are you? You dare to call Yingli Li's name!"

   "Draw your sword! Gentlemen! This is war—!"

   "Tata Kai-!"

  The boys got into a quarrel because of this, all blushing and thick necks.

   Kato Yusuke looked at the shining figure on the stage, and couldn't help lowering his head and thinking.

   Dealing with feelings should be done with permission.

   Keeping distance is also appropriate.

  —So, is it a good thing to take one more step forward?

  Celebration is a kind of celebration, which belongs to extraordinary days.

  Because of what is normal, the standard of judgment will be slightly different from the past.

   In such days, maybe even he will have some misjudgments.

   Facing the life negotiation that the girl proposed to him, he clearly felt the determination of the other party.

   If he changed the time and place, would he still accept this ambiguous situation?

  The boy was immersed in thinking about the unknown future, and the closing ceremony came to an end.

  …
