Reborn in Tokyo after picking up Sayu who ran away from home

Chapter 413 Ogihara's Dining Table
"It was one night in Tokyo, a boy and a girl met..."

"Instead of relying on you to protect her alone, don't you think it's the right way to help her build up her confidence and improve the environment?"

"If you really want to thank me, you can give me a kiss as a thank you."

……

"Um……"

A moan-like hum echoed quietly.

Sayu's eyelashes trembled twice, and she slowly opened her eyes.

The blurry vision slowly became clear.

What caught my eye was a familiar room.

The alarm clock on the bedside table clearly indicated the time - 7:05 am.

There is still ample time before school, and there is even room to squint for a little while.

"Umm..."

Sayu sat up slowly, covering her forehead with one hand, thinking silently.

She felt as if she had had a dream, a very real dream.

However, once I think about it carefully and recall it, I can't recall anything.

Everyone has had this kind of experience, like opening eyes between half-dream and half-awake, but the consciousness still stays in the aftertaste of the dream.

After thinking hard for a while, the dream was still a mess.

"Tokyo……"

Sayu frowned slightly, muttered something to herself, and fell into silence again.

Raising his hand to press his chest, he inexplicably felt empty in his heart, feeling a sense of loss.

Click...

The small bead in the cinnabar bottle made a soft sound, which interrupted her meditation and brought her back from her confusion.

Sayu who heard the sound couldn't help but feel relieved, and put the dream aside, only the word "Tokyo" became clearer in his mind.

"come on……!"

He patted his cheeks a little harder to cheer himself up.

Just get up and go to the ground, put on the slippers next to the bed.

Sayu picked up the vitamin bottle, poured out a pill in the palm of her hand, and gulped it down with water.

Then he got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower, and began to prepare for school...

……

Asahikawa Sixth High School, Class 3 for three years.

As the date of the unified examination approached, the atmosphere in the class became more and more tense.

The students are all holding reference books and red books in their hands, burying their heads in studying hard.Even during the break time, it is no different from the class period.

Except for those who have already decided on another way out, or a few lucky ones who have been recommended for admission, everyone has to prepare for admission to the university of their choice and work hard.

Also during this period.

The frequency of tripartite talks among teachers, students, and parents has also become higher and higher.

For those students whose deviation value is far from the target university, the teacher will honestly advise them to lower their goals and not to aim too high.

For those with small gaps, we will also give targeted suggestions depending on the situation, and then observe for a period of time.

This is a very meticulous job, because it needs to care about the situation of each student, so the teachers who lead the graduating class have been very busy recently.

——Misaki-sensei, who is the teacher of class 3 for the third year, is no exception.

That was after the fourth class in the morning.

While she was sorting out the courseware materials and the students' recent grades, the most special student in the class suddenly came to her.

"Ms. Misaki, are you free?"

"What's the matter? Ogiwara-san."

"It's something about college that I want to talk to you about."

Hearing this, Teacher Misaki couldn't help but asked in surprise, "University?"

"Well, university."

Sayu nodded calmly and repeated.

"...Well, then come with me, let's go to the rest area."

"Ok."

The two came to the rest area in the corner of the office together, which was the place where the Yagami writer had sat with Sayu when he came to the school.

There is a screen here. Although it is not as private as the independent student guidance room, it is still a semi-private space.

In addition, it happened to be lunch time, and other teachers also left the office, so it was very suitable for talking.

Wait until after you sit down on the sofa.

Teacher Misaki didn't go around the bush, and immediately asked directly: "So? What's the problem?"

"Ms. Misaki." Sayu took a deep breath, and then said: "About the university, I decided to take the entrance examination for a school in Tokyo."

"—Tokyo??" Teacher Misaki's voice was raised twice, and she was a little dazed by this unexpected answer.

"Yes, Tokyo." Sayu nodded heavily, her cute little face tensed slightly.

Compared with the other party, although her voice was soft, it contained an inexplicable seriousness and courage, as if telling that this decision was the result of careful consideration.

Sensei Misaki heard this, and couldn't help but frowned deeply, and said: "...It's such a sudden news. Anyway, can you tell me why you have this idea first?"

Sayu hummed, unconsciously grasped the skirt on her thigh, and responded, "I'm sorry, I actually had similar thoughts before...but now I finally made up my mind."

"Have you made up your mind..."

"Yes……!"

A brief silence.

Misaki-sensei tilted his head slightly, and rubbed the slightly throbbing temple with the thumb of his right hand, puzzled.

After about ten seconds, she considered her words and asked, "Even if you say so... what are you going to do about the recommendation qualification of Hokkaido University?"

Sayu nodded and responded: "Because Hokkaido University does not require entrance examinations, I will go to Tokyo after the unified examination to take entrance examinations for other schools."

"...I see, that means you haven't completely given up on Hokkaido University, right?"

"Yes, I think so..."

Teacher Misaki felt relieved when she heard this, and then asked again: "Then if the result in Tokyo doesn't go well..."

"In that case... I will go to Hokkaido University." Sayu bowed her head and apologized in a low voice.

"There's no need to apologize. It's a very mature idea to leave yourself a way out. It's good if you can think so... And, have you told your family about this?"

"……not yet."

"Is that so..." Seeing the girl shaking her head slightly, Misaki-sensei couldn't help being a little troubled, but she still said, "Anyway, we still need to discuss this matter with my family, okay?"

"...Well, I will."

Feeling that the atmosphere became a bit heavy, Misaki-sensei quickly changed the subject.

"About the university in Tokyo, have you chosen your target yet?"

"Well, I've chosen." Sayu raised his head and said, "Zaoying University, Qingshan College, and the guaranteed Undead Sichuan University... I think so for the time being, but it still depends on the exam time."

"Well, it should have been a long time ago that you should not talk to Qingxue... It is not impossible to do with your grades. As for Undead Sichuan University..."

Teacher Misaki stopped here, her eyes became a little helpless, and then continued.

"That's already a second-rate university, right? Could it be that you would rather go to a second-rate university than choose a first-rate university like Hokkaido University?"

"Eh? That's not the case..." Sayu blinked, turned her eyes to the side, and thought of the dream in the morning for no reason, as if there was a voice calling her to go to Tokyo...

Seeing her unconvincing performance, Misaki-sensei let out a long sigh in distress.

No matter how much she thought about it, she never expected that the student who shouldn't have a problem should have a problem.

In the end, it can only be attributed to reasons such as young people's desire for the outside world and the pursuit of dreams.

Although I feel that this is a bit ill-considered, but this is the student's own business after all, she will only give suggestions, and will not make more comments.

Thinking of this, he pondered for a moment.

"Since you have this idea, I have the red book of Zaoying and Qingxue, you can take it back and read it later."

"Eh? Well, how can this be, I'll just buy it myself." Sayu waved her hands again and again.

However, Teacher Misaki was very persistent, and took her back to the desk, and gave her the collection of past exam questions from the two schools.

As for the red book of Undead Sichuan University... She didn't buy it because it was too unpopular.

"All in all, you just need to prepare for Zaoying and Qingxue's exams. Undead Sichuan University doesn't need to make special preparations. If you have any questions, you can ask me anytime."

Teacher Misaki added another sentence after finishing speaking: "Also, remember to tell your family about this matter as soon as possible. We need to reschedule a tripartite meeting, understand?"

Sayu holding the book was silent for a while, then bowed deeply, "Thank you, I will, Teacher Misaki."

"Well, then that's it, you go back to eat quickly."

"Well, I see. Goodbye, teacher."

Sayu greeted him respectfully, and then left the teacher's office.

Walking in the corridor during the lunch break, the sun shines in from the window, and the leaves rustle in the breeze.

Tall trees stand at the corner outside the teaching building.

Unknowingly, the original emerald green leaves have turned deep yellow.

A student was sitting under a tree and eating lunch. His clean white shirt looked very neat and made him stand out very neatly.

Sayu involuntarily stopped, stood by the window and looked down, suddenly felt that the picture of this scene was very good.

If only it were summer...

The sun, the trees, the boy under the tree.

Very cinematic.

"..."

Thinking back to the conversation with Misaki-sensei.

She hesitated for a moment, then took out her mobile phone and dialed a certain number.

"Hello? Mom? Well... I have something to tell you and my brother, can the three of us talk about it tonight..."

……

And so it was night.

In the Ogiwara family's restaurant, family members gathered together in a rare way.

Including my elder brother, who is always busy with company affairs, returned home early today, ready to listen to the "important things" that my sister said on the phone.

The dining table was full of heart-warming dishes, which were specially prepared by the girl for the evening party, and she put a lot of effort into it.

It was on such an occasion that Sayu mustered up his courage and truthfully told his two relatives about what he had discussed with the teacher today.

After hearing what she said...

"--Tokyo??"

Unsurprisingly, Mrs. Ogiwara's eyes widened in astonishment, and her thoughts paused.

Ogiwara Kazusa on the side was also dumbfounded, never expecting to encounter such an event.

After a period of relaxation.

Mrs. Ogihara, who came back to her senses, immediately expressed her opinion, "Why do you want to go to Tokyo?? What about Hokkaido University? I don't agree."

Sayu was not surprised by this, but calmly stated his thoughts, and said that he would not give up his recommendation qualifications for Hokkaido University, and only tried to go to other schools on this basis, and it would not affect the final result. Enrollment.

In order to make it easier for her mother to accept, she concealed the things about Undead Sichuan University.

Mrs. Ogiwara's complexion improved a bit, but she still couldn't accept it, so she began to advise.

"Even so, Hokkaido University's media studies and educational psychology are not bad, right? Why did you go to Tokyo?"

"Because I want to go."

Sayu knew that such a simple reason would not work, so she said the excuse she had prepared in advance.

"Because compared to Hokkaido, there are more employment opportunities in Tokyo, and related companies and institutions are more complete.

Although it is okay to wait until after graduating from university to work, but if you go there early to familiarize yourself with the situation, you can have more internship opportunities. "

This is a very reasonable reason, Ogiwara Kazusa nodded slightly to express his approval.

But Mrs. Ogihara didn't think so, and put forward her own ideas.

"Although there are indeed many job opportunities in Tokyo, have you ever thought that the competition there is also very cruel? University is not the end, but a starting point, and there will be more realistic employment problems after that."

"Maybe you yearn for the prosperity of the city now, and want to go outside to pursue your dreams, but this is full of countless risks and costs."

“I’ve also met many parents during the year I’ve been working at the PTA, and I’ve seen a lot of examples. It’s not uncommon for kids to dream of making it out there, but you know it’s going to happen in the end. How many people are there?"

Perhaps because she felt that her tone was a little too tough, she paused for a moment when she said this, and continued in a slightly gentler tone.

"The number of people who succeed is one in a hundred, and more people just end up with a chicken feather. Such a probability is not worth the risk at all, and the small place is not without benefits."

"At least in Hokkaido, no matter what happens, we are there. According to your grades, whether it's a civil service test or something else, it won't be too difficult."

"Isn't it good to live a stable life like this, meet a reliable person in the future, start a family, and live a simple and happy life?"

Mrs. Ogiwara's voice slowly spread, and the restaurant fell into a deep silence.

compared to before.

Although her words were harsh at the moment, she was not selfishly trying to restrain her daughter, but was actually thinking about how to make the child happy. This was definitely not a lie.

It was precisely because of hearing this that Sayu and Yi Sa became extremely quiet.

Time has changed many people and many things.

Even Mrs. Ogiwara, who was once selfish enough to be called a mother, has truly assumed the responsibility of a mother after experiencing some things, and is seriously planning for her children.

Sayu couldn't help but rubbed her eyes, feeling a slight heat in the depths of her eyes, and even felt that compared to her own whim, just obeying her mother's words and living step by step is not a bad thing...

But at this moment, a strange voice suddenly rang in the depths of his mind.

"—Go save her, don't be afraid."

The voice was calm and decisive, but it seemed to come from an incomparably far away place, as unreal as a mirage...

"Eh?"

Sayu couldn't help being startled, and subconsciously looked left and right, trying to find the source of the sound, but there were only three of them in the huge restaurant, and there was no fourth figure.

"What's wrong? Sayu." Seeing her reaction, Ogiwara Kazusa asked strangely, pulling her consciousness back.

"...No, it's nothing." Sayu shook her head blankly, then raised her hand to press her chest, pinched the cinnabar bottle around her neck through her clothes, and slowly relaxed.

"Tokyo..." she murmured, thinking of the dream in the early morning again, her originally shaky heart gradually became resolute, as if there was some kind of force pushing her behind.

Meet the eyes of mother and brother.

Sayu slowly raised his eyes, looked at the former with clear and firm eyes, then took a deep breath, and said:
"I'm sorry! Mom, but I have to go to Tokyo, please—!"

As the voice settled down, there was a long silence in the restaurant.

The girl's attitude is extremely sincere, but also mixed with a kind of unwavering courage.

Looking at the daughter in front of her, Mrs. Ogiwara opened and closed her mouth, intending to say something, but finally closed it slowly.

Her complexion kept changing.

"Do I have to go to Tokyo...?"

"...Yes, I'm sorry."

Another moment of silence.

After hesitating for a long time, Mrs. Ogiwara let out a long sigh.

"...I see. If this is your will, then so be it."

Although a little reluctant, but still agreed.

Sha Xian was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes lit up immediately, and at the same time, a feeling of wanting to cry spread in his chest.

"Mom..." She murmured with red eyes, and said in a choked voice: "Thank you for forgiving my waywardness."

"...Okay, don't cry."

Mrs. Ogiwara avoided her gaze, as if she was not used to this posture, then looked at her smiling son, thought for a while and said:
"There's also Yisha. Since she insists on going to Tokyo to go to school, it's up to you to take care of her finances."

Ogiwara Kazusa smiled heartily at this, and agreed without hesitation.

"Please rest assured, Mom, our family's money is not enough for Sayu to go to college."

After saying this, the elder brother looked at the red-eyed younger sister opposite, and said warmly: "Okay, since mom agrees, don't cry anymore, Sayu, let's continue eating."

Sayu took out a tissue, wiped the tears from her eyes, and then nodded heavily.

"Um--!"
