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

   Chapter 565 Conversation between mother and daughter

   Compensation time ends, Wednesday at 5pm.

  She, Eiri, has been staring at the phone screen twenty minutes ago.

   The screen shows that person's name, along with a chat message.

  【Kato Yusuke: I'll go to your house later and wait for me at home. 】

   "Don't come!", "I'm not here!", "I have something to do!", "Not today!".

   She typed various replies in the chat box again and again with caution and fear, and hesitantly deleted them one by one...

   "I can't stand it..."

  Ei Lili whispered, and slumped to bury her face in the soft and comfortable bed, and patted the bed with her feet.

   She couldn't help feeling a little annoyed at herself.

   You must know that not long ago, she could still LINE or call that person casually, but now she is afraid of it.

   Obviously her relationship with Kato Yusuke has not changed.

   Just drawing books together, exhibiting together, visiting cultural festivals together, and then she took advantage of the situation impulsively——

  Things come to an abrupt end here.

   "No, no, what am I talking about?"

  Eriri hugged her head violently and let out a groan: "Isn't this relationship completely changed—!?"

  Look what she did!

   is not only close to confessing to him, but also kissing him boldly, and it is twice in a row!

   She is very proud! It actually did such a thing!

   I really don't know what went wrong with her at that time.

   No matter how poor your love ability is, you shouldn’t skip so many important steps all at once, right? ? ?

   "Ah ah ah ah, really—!"

  Eri was rolling around on the silky satin quilt, and the shame in her heart made her want to dig a hole and bury herself.

  Remorse, shame, timidity, swaying, looking ahead...she has been in this state these days.

  Although her own temper is not very good, but normally, she should not act impulsive to this point!

  As a result, when she thinks back to the scene at that time, she will be uncontrollably red-eared and her heartbeat will speed up.

  Eriri thought about it and thought it was definitely not her fault.

   She was only influenced by the festive atmosphere of the cultural festival and incited by her mother's words, which made her brain confused and become delirious.

   "Otherwise who would kiss that kind of person—!"

   A high-pitched voice echoed in the room, and then fell silent again.

  Eri tossed and turned over and over again, suffering inwardly.

  The only thing that made her feel fortunate was that she only unilaterally informed her of her intentions, and did not ask him to date her or give her an answer, and used "life negotiation" to fool the past.

   At the party the day before yesterday, she also tried to talk to him in a normal manner, and she didn't know how much willpower she spent in that short period of time.

   "Haha... The word I thought of was not courage but willpower. What's the matter?"

  Eri Riri scratched her hair irritably, and looked at the phone screen again.

   At this moment, a new message popped up on the screen.

  【Kato Yusuke: Did you get the news? I'm almost at your house, why can't I read it? 】

   "Aah...ahah..."

   "Shh", Yingri got up from the bed in a hurry, "Who asked you to come! Go back! I don't want to see you!"

  【Kato Yusuke: Can’t read back in seconds? 】

  —Another message popped up.

"…Eh?"

   Ying Piri glanced at the upper left corner of the screen, and finally suddenly realized, "Liar! It's been so long...!?"

   It is 5:12 now, thirty minutes have passed since Kato Yusuke's first message was sent, no wonder the other party asked this question.

Reply? Still not replying?

  The small head of the British pear pear is paste into a ball of paste, and gradually heat.

   She didn't want to go back, but she couldn't find a suitable reason.

   But if it drags on for too long, it will become the same as it is now.

  Because she stays on the chat interface, the message will become read the moment the other party sends it, and it will be weird if she doesn't reply...

   "Isn't that like saying, I've been secretly spying on you! I'm not a pervert!"

   Under the dilemma, Ying Lili couldn't help but get angry.

   "Ah, don't you care about Kato-kun? Eri."

  The scent of feminine elegance came from behind, and a hand was lightly placed on her right shoulder.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!?"

   She looked back suddenly, and Sawamura Sayuri was looking at her with a smile.

   "How are you~? Do you want mom to help you chat?"

   "You don't need to—!"

   "Eh~~ why is this? You haven't come back anyway, haven't you? Just borrow mom to play."

   "Others are not toys, wouldn't you go too far? Mom!" Yingri shrank her body in disgust and alertness, and hid her phone in her chest.

   "Oops~"

  Sawamura Sayuri touched her cheek with one hand, looked at her amusedly, and reminded her.

   "Well~ I can't understand your mood, but it's better to reply to Kato-kun as soon as possible, okay? If you can't read back in seconds, even my mother thinks it's a bit perverted~?"

   "Mom, pay attention to what you say!"

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

   "I hate it!"

  Eri Li glared angrily at this adult woman who was nominally a mother, but actually more like her sister, and finally picked up the phone in a hurry and sent a message back.

   "So~ how did you reply Kato-kun?"

   "Just like that."

"that's it?"

  Sawamura Sayuri put her face on her face pretending to be worried, "Just in case mom asks, you shouldn't have turned Kato-kun out of the house, right?"

   "How could I do such an impolite thing."

  Eriri looked sideways in dissatisfaction, "I just came back to know, after all, I haven't gone too far to drive back the guests who are about to come."

"…guest?"

  Sawamura Sayuri was dumbfounded at first, and then laughed knowingly.

   "Understood, let's just take it like this for now. Then mom will ask someone to make tea first, you should pack up and go downstairs to meet you~"

After    finished speaking, he turned and left with a smile on his face.

  Eri Li pretended not to hear the teasing in her words, picked up the phone and glanced at it.

   Facing the upcoming Kato Yusuke.

   If you ask her if she is afraid, she is actually a little scared. If you ask her if she hates this situation, she doesn't actually hate it.

   As for what their future relationship will be like, she herself doesn't know.

   But what to say?

   If they don’t do anything actively, they will be farther and farther apart.

   She knew this very well and didn't want to be like that.

   She wanted to keep that person by her side.

   The other party is the family who made her think like this.

  ◇

   Five minutes passed after that.

   "—Eriri, Kato-kun is already here, right?"

   In the sound of Sawamura Sayuri's call, Eri Li, who had re-tied her ponytails, quickly opened the door and walked to the balcony, and replied angrily to the downstairs.

   "I see, you don't need to shout so loudly, Mom."

   In a glance, she didn't dare to say hello to Kato Yusuke, so she hurriedly returned to the room and walked downstairs.

   When she was going downstairs, Sayuri Sawamura just happened to lead Kato Yusuke to the living room.

   Seeing her daughter's dress up, the corners of her beautiful lips could not help evoking a playful arc.

   When she was in the room on the second floor just now, Eiri still had her hair loose and was wearing the middle school sports uniform that had become home clothes.

   And now, her daughter dresses like a well-bred eldest lady.

   Ying Lili was wearing a simple white shirt with a grey and dark red tie at the neckline, and a thin cherry red sweater jacket over it.

   The gray pleated skirt swayed lightly with the swing of her thighs, and she wore a pair of pure black woolen over-the-knee socks on her slender, round legs, reflecting the snow-white complexion.

   - Impeccably refined.

  Sawamura Sayuri looked slightly sideways, glanced at the boy beside him, and caught a touch of admiration in his eyes, and couldn't help but smile.

   has nothing to do with other things, it is the instinctive reaction of human beings when faced with beautiful things.

  'That is, the character of this child is a little troublesome, otherwise there is no need for people to worry so much. ’

  Eriri didn't know what she was thinking, she walked in front of the two with a look of unhappiness, stopped, and said nothing.

   Seeing her reaction like this, Kato Yusuke couldn't help being a little embarrassed after being stunned for a while, and nodded slightly.

The    scene is subtle and a little cold.

  Sawamura Sayuri pressed a finger to her lips and asked in a puzzled way, "Hey~ Do you want me to introduce you?"

  Even though she knew that she was deliberately teasing, Eiri couldn't help frowning angrily, and then vented her emotions on Kato Yusuke.

   "Yu, so what do you have to do with me?"

   This question was a little rude, but the intensity sounded soft. It didn't look like an angry scolding at all, but rather embarrassed and twisted.

   Kato Yusuke sighed inwardly, and his heart was also a little mixed.

   Obviously the two have known each other for a long time, and they still have an extraordinary bond and friendship, but at this moment he feels extremely uncomfortable.

  Especially Yingri's attitude at this time, as if reminding him of that incident.

   However, the main reason is because the other party had a strong impression on his sister before, which made people feel so at a loss.

  At that time, they could draw books together, spend the night in this house, and say something, and Kato Yusuke didn't need to think too much to deal with her easily...

  But now, when they faced each other in this familiar house, Kato Yusuke didn't know how to talk for a while.

   Having said that, we can’t keep pretending to be deaf and dumb.

   So he opened his backpack, took out an imperial guard from it, and handed it out.

   "Well... all in all, this is the guardian sent to you by Auntie Mina. Because I couldn't see you yesterday, she asked me to hand it over to you."

   "...Auntie Mui Ne?"

  Eriri took the thing hesitantly and said, "Thank you...but, but why didn't you give it to me at school?"

   "Well, although I did think so..."

   Kato Yusuke looked over at the beauty in kimono beside him and smiled slightly.

   "But Auntie Mina seems to have greeted Aunty Sayuri and told me that I must bring it to the house, so... I wanted to ask you to go together after school, but you ran too fast."

   Hearing the words, Eiri suddenly widened her eyes and suddenly looked towards Sawamura Sayuri.

   "Mom! Is what he said true? How come I never heard of that kind of thing!"

   "Hey~ even if you ask for guilt like this, wouldn't you talk to Kato-kun at school?"

"I…!"

   "Okay, okay~"

   Ignoring her daughter's speechlessness, Sayuri Sawamura pursed her lips and smiled gracefully.

   "Anyway, the two of you sit down first, I'll go see what's for dinner today, and Kato-kun will stay for dinner too~"

   "Sorry, Aunt Sayuri—"

  Sawamura Sayuri was just about to start walking when Kato Yusuke stopped her and showed her apology.

   "Thank you for your invitation, but I'm just here to see Yushou today, and I've made appointments with other people after that, so I might not be able to stay..."

   "Ah, is that so?"

   "Yes, I'm sorry because I already made an appointment in advance."

  Sawamura Sayuri looked at him troubled, deliberately showing a sad expression.

   "Well, if that's the case, there's nothing I can do. It's a pity, but Kato-kun should give priority to busy work~"

   Kato Yusuke touched his nose and whispered an apology again, then hesitantly looked at Eiri and said hello.

   "...Then I'll go first, Yingri, let's meet at school tomorrow."

   "Ah, um..."

  Eriri agreed awkwardly, turning her face to one side, "Then be careful on the road."

   Kato Yusuke paused for a while, then replied: "...Well, thank you, I understand. Then bye, Eiri, Aunt Sayuri."

"goodbye."

   "Goodbye ~ Kato-kun."

  Sawamura Sayuri watched him leave, then turned to look at her daughter.

   Feeling both relieved and disappointed, Eiri lowered her shoulders.

  Sawamura Sayuri took her to the sofa to sit down and start a parent-child conversation.

   "So~ you should have conveyed your thoughts to Kato-kun at the cultural festival, right?"

  Eriri hesitated for a moment, then nodded her head in affirmation, and then told her what happened at the cultural festival.

   Unlike other families, Yingri has never had a rebellious period at home, and there have never been any secrets between the mother and daughter, and they basically talk about everything.

  —The relationship is as good as a pair of close friends.

  Because of this, Sayuri Sawamura knows the ins and outs of everything.

   Like their life talks, that kiss, that conversation, and their now vague and awkward relationship.

   After listening to her daughter's story quietly, she couldn't help sighing: "So that's the case, my family Ying Lili has worked very hard, you are amazing~"

   "How... I'm just a coward who is afraid of being rejected, so I don't dare to hear the answer."

   "There's no such thing~?"

"do not have it?"

"of course not."

  Sawamura Sayuri took her daughter into her arms and put her on her shoulders. While stroking her head gently, she said proudly and proudly:

   "My English pear not only didn't flinch, but also did a great job, even better than my mother expected!"

   "I'm...excellent...?"

   "Ah, it should be said that Kato-kun's attitude just now explained everything, right? He is completely right now, and treats you as an excellent woman~?"

   "That kind of thing...does it really exist?"

  Eriri was a little skeptical, "I don't have much self-confidence."

   "Hmm~~~~ It's good for Yingri to get to this point, let's leave the rest to my mother~" Sawamura Sayuri said comfortingly and jokingly.

   "But..." Eiri lowered her eyes gloomily, "He's already been with someone else."

   "Are you talking about the novelist girl?"

   "Well...and there are many girls in the school who like him."

"Yes, after all, Kato-kun is handsome and has a good figure, plus he is young and golden, and he is so good at drawing, isn't it normal for girls to like it? If my mother could be born a few years later …”

   "—Stop talking, Mom, are you trying to obliterate my existence!?" Yingri was about to go crazy.

   "Oops~~~ how could that be? After all, my English pear is so cute."

   "Your tone is not reflecting at all—!"

   "This is it~"

  Sawamura Sayuri continued with a smile.

   "Anyway, that's the way it is. Maybe there are many girls who like Kato-kun, but you don't have to give up because of that, right?"

"Uh…"

   "Besides, you're just talking about a high school student's love affair, so you don't need to think about it so much, right? As long as you're happy, it's fine?"

   "But, but, Yusuke is like the kind of person who thinks a lot. He is always taking care of everyone inadvertently and carrying everything on his own."

   "What should I say? Kato-kun is very responsible, but that's also his shortcoming. Let's not mention this, the point is, don't you think he and the girls around him are too heavy?"

"Well…?"

  Eriri couldn't help being a little dazed, and couldn't understand what she meant for a while.

  Sawamura Sayuri ignored her daughter's reaction and continued to speak.

   "Whether it's the novelist girl or the other girl from the student council you talked about, they're all too exciting and troublesome.

  Under such circumstances, it wouldn't be surprising if Kato-kun couldn't bear the heavy pressure one day, or got tired of those quarrels and wanted to be with a relaxed girl? "

   thumped, like a blow to the abdomen.

  Eri was shocked and was choked to the point of being speechless.

   "All in all~ Mom just wants you to be happy, even if your feelings hurt others."

  Sawamura Sayuri stretched out her hand to hold her hand, clenched it slightly, and spoke in a gentle tone.

   "As I said just now, this is just a high school student's love affair. You don't have to think about the future. Those heavy things and troubles will be left to the future."

   "Eriri just needs to act according to her own mind. Since you have entered your key plot, let's achieve the strategy in one go~"

   "Don't think about other girls or anything. After all, in the game, you don't attack when you need to attack, and sometimes you will end up with an anticlimactic BE ending~ Do you understand?"

   Ying Li Li was stunned in place, her heart was numb, but she heard such a sentence in the next second.

   "Or, if you are really embarrassed, I can also ask Kato-kun if he wants to stop chasing his daughter and chase me instead~ I can borrow you for a date then."

   "—Please stop making trouble!"
