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

  Chapter 591 Stripping bare hands

  After some reassurance, Shi Yu finally calmed down.

   Kato Yusuke glanced at the food area not far away, and asked, "Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

   "Hmm... Then I want foie gras, salad, and French fries."

   The foie gras and salad are okay, as for the fries...

   "Girls eat French fries, don't they worry about getting fat because of excessive calorie intake?"

   "Getting fat...?"

  Shiwa looked away from the food area, and looked at someone with an expression of "Why would you say such a stupid thing?"

   "...Besides the Cup, do you think there is anything fat about me?"

  As she spoke, she stretched out a hand, took Kato Yusuke to roam around her waist and lower abdomen, and asked knowingly, "How does it feel?"

   "...The waist is smooth, and the waist is soft." Kato Yusuke replied in a pretentious manner, showing a bit of unwillingness on his face.

  "Slick tone~" Shi Yu gave him an annoyed look, and the corners of her lips curled up uncontrollably.

   "Then I'll go get some food, senior sister will wait for me here."

   Kato Yusuke got up and went to the food area, took a pair of knives, forks and dinner plates, and began to choose.

   Foie gras, salad, French fries.

  After packing the things Shiba specified, he didn't return immediately, but pretended to choose other food, thinking quietly.

   What exactly do you want?

  He didn't know it himself, but Xiao Suo's emotions lingered in his heart, gnawing at his heart like a stubborn disease, and he refused to let him off easily.

but…

  'This is also my own fault...'

  He decided so.

   As the price for deeply hurting Sayu, this is the punishment he must bear.

   Logically speaking, he shouldn't even be here, and shouldn't be able to smile, but should be hopelessly negative.

  This idea is naive and superficial.

  It's like getting inner peace through self-punishment and repentance.

  It makes no sense and makes no sense.

However-

   This is his own problem after all, and he shouldn't affect others, especially those girls who have given him something irreplaceable.

   So, he puts negativity on mute.

   In fact, he once had such a momentary thought.

  Do you want to simply use a certain system item to copy a copy of your own memory, and then imbue it in Sayu.

   But, is the person who came back like that really his Sayu?

  Can he really get back the girl who spent countless days and nights with him in that apartment?

  Thinking of this, his expression couldn't help but become sad.

   "..."

   Kato Yusuke took a deep breath, and then exhaled.

  As the saying goes, reason is always cleaning up the mess for sensibility.

  He let go of his unconsciously clenched fist, his face became calm again, and then he stretched out his hand to the clip in front of him, ready to grab a piece of cake as the end of the trip.

   But just as he was about to touch the clip, another hand suddenly appeared from a blind corner of his vision and touched him.

"what…"

  The girl's panicked voice sounded in my ears: "Sorry! I didn't notice you."

   "...No, it's only on my side..."

   Kato Yusuke turned his head while talking, and then couldn't help but froze.

   Short blonde hair, violet pupils.

   What caught my eye was a girl in a purple dress.

"what…"

  Seeing that it was him, a look of complexity flashed in the eyes of the person concerned very quickly, and he bit his lip and lowered his head in a bit of bewilderment. After a second, he raised it again with a smile on his face.

   "...Hi, long time no see ~ Kato-kun."

  Although she deliberately tried to pretend to be calm, there was still a hint of reluctance in her voice.

   "..."

  Yusuke Kato moved his lips, and nodded with a smile, "Well, long time no see, Takada."

   "..."

  Shiori Takada's brows were frowned and loosened, his eyes wandered around with nowhere to rest, and he raised his hand to lift the hair beside his ear, looking for something to say: "...how are you recently?"

   "Well, it's not bad, thank you for your concern."

   "Is that so...well, that's good."

   Kato Yusuke glanced at the plate in her hand, which contained salmon, lamb chops, ham, lobster, cherries, and passion fruit, etc., which were very rich.

   Perceived his gaze...

   "Ah, this is that one, I, I took it for others, not eating it by myself..."

   Feeling embarrassed, Takada Shiori retracted the full plate in his hand, and argued like a mosquito.

  At this time, some unpleasant comments suddenly floated over.

   "...Don't you think that girl is overdressed?"

   "There are some, there are really no rules. Doesn't she know that the plate can only hold four kinds of food at most on this occasion?"

   "Where did this bumpkin come from?"

  When hearing these comments, Shiori Takata's pretty face flushed red all of a sudden, and he lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at the reactions of the people around him, feeling ashamed.

  Similarly, Kato Yusuke also heard these voices.

  Look up and look over.

  Two women dressed up to attend were standing not far away, commenting on this side, their faces full of acrimony.

  He thought for a while, then picked up the tongs on the side, and put the small cakes displayed on the dining table for people to take into his own plate.

  One piece, two pieces, three pieces,

  Four, five, six.

  Under the astonished eyes of the people nearby, he put almost all the cakes on the plate without changing his expression, and then put the last piece on Takada Shiori's plate.

   clang ~

   After finishing these things, Kato Yusuke put the metal clip on the empty tray, smiled and opened his mouth.

  “…Nice to meet you, Takada, I hope you have a good time tonight. My girlfriend is still waiting for me, so excuse me.”

   Turning a blind eye to the strange eyes around him, the boy turned and left in a leisurely manner.

   Shiori Takata stared at his back in a daze, with a somewhat dumbfounding expression on his face, and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  She first looked at the small cake on her plate, and then looked back at the two women who were stunned at someone's back.

  For some unknown reason, the feeling of embarrassment disappeared in an instant.

  She proudly puffed her chest out, passed the two of them openly holding her plate full of food, and then sat down in a corner of the banquet hall, enjoying the food happily.

  ‘That person is still the same…’

  As she ate, she thought, not only the joy of reuniting with old friends, but also the joy and bitterness of a girlish feeling in her heart.

but…

   Obviously we haven’t seen each other for so long, but the inner barrier doesn’t seem to be that serious.

   "Huh? Did something good happen to you? Shiori."

  The editor-in-chief Suzuki, who had just finished chatting with the chief editor, came over and was surprised to see the happy expression on the face of his distant niece.

   "Uncle Suzuki~"

   Hearing the voice, Shiori Takata raised his head, swallowed the cake in his mouth, and said with a smile, "It's nothing~ the little cakes here are delicious!"

  This answer inevitably surprised Editor-in-Chief Suzuki, but when he thought that the other party was still a child, he didn't take it seriously, and ran to greet other people with a cocktail.

the other side.

   "It's really good ~ Yu-chan."

  Shi Yu said meaningfully: "Even if it's just to get some food, don't forget to save the beauty by the hero, it's amazing."

   Obviously, someone's behavior just now has been seen clearly.

  Yusuke Kato did not make excuses, cut off a small piece of cake with a fork, and fed it to her mouth, "Do you want to eat cake? Shiba-senpai."

  Shi Yu glanced at him, and said coldly: "The calories are too high, and you will get fat."

   "..."

  Yusuke Kato paused for a moment, so he had to eat the cake by himself, and gave her a new fork of French fries.

  Shiyu opened his mouth slightly, ate the golden fried French fries, and asked casually, "...do you know that girl?"

  “When we first entered school, we worked part-time at the same convenience store.”

   "Is there any more love left?"

   "Just acquaintance, haven't contacted for a long time."

   "Oh~ I don't eat cake, these are all yours."

  Yusuke Kato glanced at the cakes piled up in hills on the plate, his throat felt a little tired, so he could only say hello in a low voice.

  Shi Yu observed his deflated expression from the corner of his eye, feeling very relieved, and lazily said:

   "Speaking of which, two days ago someone who claimed to be the judge of the drama competition contacted me, saying that the script I wrote for the drama department won the prize."

   "Is it the "Hehe Rhapsody" at the cultural festival?"

   Kato Yusuke said in surprise: "Congratulations, senior, this is a good thing."

   "It's okay, anyway, it's just a casual writing for entertainment, it doesn't matter if you win an award or not."

   "What's that award?"

   "I can't remember, it seems to be the best screenplay award." Shi Yu pointed to the table and said lightly: "I want to eat salad."

  Yusuke Kato couldn't help being happy for her while feeding her salad, "Best Screenplay Award... that should be the highest award, right?"

   "Hmm~"

  Shi Yu chewed and ate the salad slowly, and nodded slightly.

   "Speaking of which, my work in Undead River is almost over, and I can be free to accompany you wholeheartedly afterward."

  Yusuke Kato mechanically stuffed another piece of cake into his mouth, and asked, "...Isn't there still animation work to do?"

   "That's still in the preparatory stage, and it will take at least a year before it's really done. Speaking of which, Yu-chan, are you willing to be the painter?"

   "Drawing?"

  Shi Yu hummed, and glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.

   "It's the animation of "Love Metronome". If you are interested, I can personally guide you to master the measurements of the character Sayuka in it."

  Hearing the words, Kato Yusuke couldn't help shaking the hand holding the plate, pretending not to hear the meaning behind the words.

   "...I don't have any experience in animation drawing, so it's not my turn to do this kind of thing, don't Ms. Machida and the others have any favorite candidates?"

  Shi Yu asked him for a piece of foie gras, and said while eating:

  "Yes, but I can use "I don't know the specifics, but I just feel that something is wrong" to make things difficult and destroy the confidence of those people, forcing them to quit their painting jobs on their own. "

   "Please don't do such troublesome things, this is the work of senior sister..."

   Kato Yusuke said a little speechlessly: "Besides, our studio still has its own game planning, and I can't take care of both ends. Senior sister, stop making trouble."

  Shi Yu clicked his tongue and reluctantly accepted this statement.

  She pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "...So, Yu-chan, did something happen to you these two days?"

   crunching...

  The metal fork slid across the porcelain plate, making a sharp and ear-piercing moan.

   Kato Yusuke picked up some vegetables without any trace, and put them into his mouth, "What happened...what does senior sister mean?"

  Shiyu's eyes swept across his face, and then looked at the meeting place with mixed figures in front, and said casually:

   "Although you concealed it very well, I am not a fool. I can still tell whether you are happy or not, but I just don't know the reason."

   "..."

   Kato Yusuke chewed and swallowed the salad, feeling speechless for the other party's sharpness for an unknown number of times.

  He considered it again and again, but he still didn't just make an excuse, but he didn't intend to answer this question either.

  Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Shiyu seemed to see his thoughts, and couldn't help but sighed softly.

   "Since you are not going to say it, then I have something to say to you."

  The girl suddenly became serious, and she continued to speak softly while looking at the crowd who were pushing and changing glasses under the light.

  "Your heart is too lonely, like building a line of defense in your heart, and you don't want others to enter your inner world."

   "Or, someone came a long time ago, and her arrival prompted the establishment of this line of defense."

   "Later she pushed down this line of defense, leaving deeper scars. Her presence strengthened the line of defense, making people who came need to cross mountains and mountains."

   "But even if you go over the mountains, you can't cross this line of defense, and the end is still the same."

   "The scars are getting deeper every time. Until now, the line of defense has been piled up so high that it is really close to being isolated from the world."

  There was a bit of indescribable sadness in the leisurely and melodious voice, like a late autumn wind, gently blowing past Kato Yusuke's ears, setting off a whirlwind in his heart.

  Unknowingly, he stopped eating and turned to look at the girl beside him.

  Under the bright yellow light, that beautiful side face looked a little lonely, but also had a vivid beauty.

   Kato Yusuke's throat was slightly congested, and it seemed to be stuck in his throat for a while, as if it was covered with cake and cream.

   "Shiba-senpai..."

  He swallowed dryly, trying to say something, but was suddenly interrupted.

   "—The awarding ceremony of the Undead Grand Prix will begin next, please invite Mr. Fujimoto to the stage!"

   Finally made it to the end of the award presentation of the light novel department, and the manga department, which was born by the stepmother, finally showed its prominence.

  Everyone in the editorial department of "Youth Undead" was refreshed when they heard this, and immediately put down what they were doing, and began to applaud vigorously.

  Yusuke Kato had no choice but to swallow back what he was going to say, feeling quite critical of the host's untimely call, but he was not good at showing anything in full view.

   "Go, you are the protagonist today."

  Shi Yu next to him reached out and took the plate in his hand, and gave him a slight push, "I was just talking casually, you don't need to care about it, Yu-chan."

  Yusuke Kato hesitated for a while, then nodded, "...Okay, then I'll go first, Shiba-senpai."

  Shi Yu nodded with a smile, and watched him walk towards the stage step by step under the welcome of the crowd.

   There is a saying that Shi Yu didn't say just now, and doesn't want to admit it.

  That is, the defense line in his heart is indeed very high, but she can't be the one who makes him let his guard down.

  She was like a lonely west wind drifting around the earth, but she never flowed into his heart.

  When I think of this, I can't help but feel a little sore in my nose.

  The light shone in her eyes, shining like a lot of broken star sand. She raised her head and blinked, but held back.

  Amid all the attention, the teenager stood where she had stood before and became the only focus of the audience.

  A girl's soft cry was faintly heard in the arena.

  The host holding the microphone stood next to Kato Yusuke, and introduced loudly:

   "Mr. Fujimoto tree here must be familiar to everyone~

  Like Mr. Kasumi Shiko, who is the newcomer king of light novels, Mr. Fujimoto is also the newcomer king in the manga world! In addition, he is the only recipient of the Undead Newcomer Award this year! "

   "His debut novel "The Chainsaw Man" has been well received in the market, and the booklet has sold a total of 1.2 million copies—!"

   "Next, I invite Mr. Fujimoto to give a speech!"

   All of a sudden, there was an extremely surprised discussion in the venue.

   "Wow, it sold 1.2 million copies? Are there so many??"

   "I remember that it hasn't been long since the official release of "Chain Saw Man"?"

   "Ah, you're right. To be precise, it's only been two months since the first volume of his booklet was released, and there are currently four volumes in total."

   "More than two months?! This sales volume is too exaggerated—!"

   "..."

  Listening to these words, the members of the manga editorial department straightened their backs proudly and proudly.

   Machida Sonoko, who came to sit next to Shiwa, was also a little surprised by the sales volume, and said something with emotion.

   "Brother Kato is really good, he really deserves to be the person you fancy, Xiaoshi~"

  Shi Yu nodded absent-mindedly, staring directly at the stage, not in the mood to deal with the other party for the time being.

  Of course, she was also happy about Kato Yusuke's results, but she was a little bit unhappy by the conversation just now.

   It was under such circumstances that the young man who had made a formulaic speech on the stage suddenly said:

  “…Finally, I would like to thank my senior, who is also my girlfriend.

  Without her support and help, I would not have achieved what I am today, and perhaps I am still a decadent NEET who is wasting my time.

so-"

  Yusuke Kato looked across the crowd, and landed on Shiwa with precision and concentration, a gentle and charming smile appeared on his handsome face.

   "Thank you, Shiba-senpai, I wish you beauty forever."

  The clear and clear voice slowly echoed in the arena.

  People were silent for a moment, then immediately followed his gaze, focusing on the elegant and beautiful figure behind him.

  The eyes of the girls are full of envy.

  Shi Yu's originally depressed mood suddenly surged with throbbing, and waves rippled in her burgundy beautiful eyes.

  The boy stood under the bright and dazzling spotlight, and the girl sat under the scattered crystal lamps.

  The two people on and off the stage looked at each other in pairs.

  At this moment, it seems that all the stars are falling on them.

  Outside the window, there are many tall buildings and bright lights.

  Indoor dresses are crowded, and figures are intertwined.

  In the beautiful night, in the flickering of the shutter, in the soft music.

  Shi Yu's beautiful face was quickly stained with a blush, and she couldn't help feeling a little shy, but she couldn't take her eyes off that handsome face no matter what.

  She watched the young man strip naked with his bare hands.

  The stars reflected in his eyes, but the light shone on her.

   And she is facing the light without hesitation.

at last-

  Shiwa picked up the goblet filled with grape juice, and made a toast to Yusuke Kato on the stage from a distance, and love sprouted.

  The next second, the applause resounded like thunder.

  …
