Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

Latest website:

After leaving the sports warehouse.

Kato Yusuke came to the sink to wash his hands and sent a message to the girl on his mobile phone.

[Iwanami: Where are you? 】

Almost as soon as it was sent, the mark on the screen changed to "Read".

[Sayu: Classroom. 】

Seeing this, Yusuke smiled slightly, casually shook the water on his hand, and then walked towards the teaching building.

"Exchange 2 bags of dried fish."

"20 points have been deducted, leaving 1240 points remaining."

He quickly returned to the classroom with two bags of dried fish.

The two girls seemed to have already had lunch and were sitting together chatting about something.

"Iwanami-san."

Seeing his safe return, Yuko Masaka's eyes lit up and she showed an expression of relief.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

"No, not at all. Just be fine."

"Don't worry, I just talked about something with Youyue, there's nothing to worry about."

Kato Yusuke comforted him casually, but his eyes stopped on Sayu's face and said, "By the way, I don't seem to have eaten yet."

The girl frowned slightly, hesitated, and then used one finger to push the lunch box on the table an inch.

"Sayu-chan?" Yuko cast a confused look.

"We can't finish it anyway, right?" Sayu explained lightly, and then said to someone lightly: "I haven't touched this half."

"The Point Guard Is Here"

"Where are the chopsticks?" The young man tilted his head and sat down in front of her.

So Sayu took out a pair of chopsticks from the drawer and pushed them over with a look of disgust.

"These are disposable chopsticks I got from a convenience store. No one has ever used them."

"Huh? Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome."

Kato Yusuke, who glanced down at the table, did not reach out to pick it up. Instead, he raised his head and said with a smile: "I'll just use your chopsticks."

"——!"

Sayu couldn't help but be startled by the words that were so confident. Then she glared at him with a reproachful look and turned her face away, not wanting to look at him.

Yuuko shook her shoulders and laughed, her eyes full of gossip.

Seeing the reaction between the two, she finally understood why her best friend deliberately chose a large lunch box and cooked so many meals abnormally.

This was obviously well prepared, and it was not some stupid thing like "accidentally doing too much".

Quibbles are all quibbles.

These two are so cute~

She couldn't help but smile and asked: "Hey, Sayu-chan, Iwanami-san, what happened to you yesterday?"

"If you want to say..."

Kato Yusuke regretfully dismantled the disposable chopsticks while muttering: "Maybe I went to visit Ogiwara-san's family and was kicked out."

"Family!!!" Yuko Masaka covered her mouth excitedly, and her whole face lit up.

"...Don't listen to what he's talking about here, and you're too excited, Yuko." Sayu quickly denied.

"Is that so? Iwanami-san!"

Just when Kato Yusuke was about to say something, a horrifying gaze stared at him, which made him silent. Then he shrugged and made a vague hum as a response.

Seeing this scene...

"Pfft... Iwanami-san, it's not easy either." Yuko smiled meaningfully and glanced directly at her friend.

Sayu seemed very troubled by this, but didn't say much to avoid making things worse.

In the end, he just lowered his head angrily and reached for his lunch box, but someone grabbed his hand.

"Open your mouth."

"Eh...well...!"

Some salty and dry dried fish were taken into the mouth.

Kato Yusuke withdrew his hand, and his fingertips touched his warm lips seemingly accidentally, then put it into his mouth and licked off the excess salt.

A burst of umami flavor melted on the tip of the tongue, awakening the taste buds, and it was still the familiar delicious dried fish.

Both girls and cats love to eat it.

"Does it taste good? This is the lunch we agreed on yesterday. Thank you for the lunch." He said with a smile and put two bags of dried fish on the table with his other hand.

The opened bag was given to Sayu, and the unopened bag was given to Yuko.

The former frowned and said nothing, looking very angry.

The latter's eyes were subtle, but also a little envious.

Yusuke Kato was satisfied after completing the couple's feeding. He clasped his hands and said "I'm starting", then lowered his head and ate the delicious bento.

Glancing at the girl with slightly bulging cheeks, Masaka Yuko couldn't help but smile knowingly and sighed.

"Thank you, Iwanami-san."

"?"

"Thank you for being close to us. Sayu-chan hasn't been this happy for a long time."

Sayu, whose mouth was stuffed with small dried fish, swallowed the food first, and then said dissatisfiedly: "You are talking like this again, Yuko."

Yuuko didn't argue with this, but just smiled bitterly, as if she had thought of something, and her expression was a little sad.

Yusuke paused for a moment, then gave the two of them a bright smile, "Don't worry, everything will be fine, I promise."

"Yes...if it's Iwanami-san."

"Stop talking, Yuko, he doesn't understand anything at all."

"Well, Ogiwara-san has zero trust in me, but didn't I say that? I may know you better than you think."

"You are saying such incomprehensible things again..."

The girl who heard this glanced at him and didn't want to talk more about this matter. She hesitated and asked, "What did Youyue say to you just now?"

"Huh? Are you curious?"

"If you don't want to say it, forget it."

Kato Yusuke swallowed a mouthful of sausage and said calmly: "She seemed to be obsessed with me because of the basketball game, but I rejected her."

The two women who heard this had different reactions.

Masaka Yuko was doubtful, while Sayu gently kicked his shoes under the table and stared at him straightly.

The beautiful almond eyes seem to say "be more serious".

"Hmm...Has your plan to make Ogiwara-san jealous been seen through?"

"Eh? Does that mean Iwanami-san was joking just now?"

"So be it."

Yusuke smiled at Yuko, and then continued as if nothing happened: "The truth is, Yusuke was dissatisfied with me overshadowing Saito in the competition, so he came to give me a warning."

"Such a thing could happen...how could it happen?" Masaka Yuko exclaimed in a low voice, with a worried expression on her face.

"Have you been targeted by Youyue?" Sayu's face was tense, and his hands were clenched together unconsciously.

"Don't be so nervous. It's okay anyway."

"is that so?"

"Yes, so don't worry, you can also try this small fish, Yuko."

"But..." Yuko murmured and looked at the girl worriedly.

Aware of his friend's gaze, Sayu slowly relaxed his expression, and then gently shook his head.

Although she felt that Youyue might not be that easy to deal with, she didn't comment too much.

After all, just protecting Yuko was already exhausting her, and there was really nothing else she could do...

The girl who thought about this couldn't help but lower her head.

At this time...

"I told you, you are showing this expression again."

A gentle and helpless voice sounded.

"Can't you have some faith in me? If I say it's okay, it will be okay."

Kato Yusuke stretched out a hand, gently picked up the girl's hair that was left in front of her face, and tucked it behind her ears.

"So there's no need to force yourself, just be as coquettish as you like to me."

Sayu raised his head blankly and met those quiet but steady black eyes.

It was a kind of frivolity that was not in line with the other party's usual frivolity. Instead, it had a taste that made people subconsciously feel safe and reliable, which was very strange.

But just when she became a little distracted because of this strong contrast...

The young man suddenly opened his arms, and a familiar evil smile appeared on his face.

"If you feel moved, I can lend you my chest right now."

Well, he still looks that shameless.

Sayu immediately lowered his eyes, curled his lips and said, "Shameless."

An imperceptible arc for a second quietly bloomed at the corner of the girl's mouth.

The dullness in the air was gone.

The atmosphere became relaxed again.

…

The three of them chatted for a while.

After Kato Yusuke finished eating his lunch box, the two women packed up their own lunch boxes together and went to the sink at the end of the corridor to clean up.

As for someone, he was called to the office by the teacher. According to the student who sent the message, it seemed to be something related to the basketball club.

Sayu didn't care about this and just carefully cleaned his lunch box under the tap.

First run it with water, then squeeze a little portable dish soap, and then rub it gently with your fingers.

Wait until a layer of foam forms on top, then rinse the foam away with clean water.

She did this process very carefully.

She didn't know if she was dissing someone, but even though the lunch box was not too dirty, the girl still cleaned every corner carefully.

It wasn't until Yuko suddenly let out a sigh that she stopped.

"I always feel that Iwanami-san is an incredible person."

"...Just a weirdo, right?"

"Well...even though she's a bit strange, she has a very friendly personality and can have a normal conversation even with people like me. This is the same as Sayu-chan."

Saying this, a smile broke out on Masaka Yuko's face, and she added: "And the same thing about Sayu-chan, I can feel that he is very serious about you."

"What is this? We obviously haven't spoken much before." Sayu muttered.

"Well, I don't understand this very well, so I say he is an incredible person."

Yuko continued: "Whether it's coming to talk to us, or whether it's my confession to you before, or... well, in short, generally no one would do such a thing, right?"

Sayu frowned slightly, raised her hand to turn off the faucet, shook the water on the lunch box in the sink, and said, "Go back."

"Hey~~ It's okay to stay a little longer, right?"

"No, I want to go back to the classroom and rest."

"Then one more question, just answer me one more question, Sayu-chan." Yuko, who was full of curiosity, walked sideways in front of her.

"……what is the problem?"

"Iwanami-san, regarding the reply to your confession, I want to know what you are going to do~~!"

As soon as Fang heard this, Sayu's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and he began to talk about him.

"Why bring this up?"

"Because the story of the knight and the princess is so romantic~! And it's not just me, I think there must be many people in the school who also want to know the answer."

Masaka Yuko's eyes were piercing, and he kept casting his eager gaze on her face, which made the girl feel very embarrassed and couldn't help but look away.

Then he was silent for a while and said: "I don't understand much about love..."

"No problem! It doesn't matter! Sayu-chan!"

"Eh?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand! Although I have no experience in this area, Iwanami-san is definitely a very proactive person!"

"...?"

Sayu was speechless, and then asked: "You seem to be too enthusiastic about this matter, Yuko?"

Masaka Yuko shook her head vigorously and said excitedly: "This is all because your interaction is so interesting! People can't help but get excited. I want to enjoy your sweets more——!"

"...Even if you say so, we are just classmates who just spoke not long ago."

"You've obviously already kissed?"

"——!"

"You've obviously already met your family?"

"That, that is...!"

"Obviously you have already helped prepare the lunch?"

"…………"

With every word he spoke, Sayu's momentum weakened until he was completely speechless.

On the contrary, Yuezi's momentum is rising steadily.

"Sayu-chan, you are really cute."

Looking at her friend with a blush on her cheeks, she couldn't help teasing him.

It is said that if you want to conquer a girl, you must also gain some goodwill from her best friends. This can often get twice the result with half the effort.

And Yuko Masaka is the type who is keen on assisting.

Maybe it's because she doesn't have many friends, so her emotions become more delicate when it comes to friendship.

In addition, Kato Yusuke is also very friendly to her, and she is very happy to see him and her friends get together...

Immersed in this state of joy, Masaka Yuko ignored the surrounding environment for a while. It was not until she collided with the person walking towards her with a "dong" sound that she finally came back to her senses.

"ah!"

"it hurts."

Two exclamations sounded in the corridor.

"I'm sorry, are you okay?" After standing firm, Yuezi immediately looked behind him.

"Tsk, you don't even look at the road when you're walking...!" The girl who collided with her also turned to look.

Their eyes met in the air.

First, they were stunned at the same time...

then--

"Ah...!" Yuuko took two steps back involuntarily.

"Yu, Youyue... yes, I'm sorry...!" She quickly began to bow and apologize, her face full of uneasiness.

Sayu also reacted at this time, and immediately subconsciously protected her behind him, putting on a vague defensive posture and looking towards the opposite side.

Without waiting for the other party to open his mouth to find fault, she also said: "...I'm sorry, we didn't pay attention just now. Can you please forgive me?"

Youyue didn't say a word to this, just looked at them with gloomy eyes.

From the fearful Yuko to the cautious Sayu.

Her eyes couldn't really be called friendly, and there was even a hint of anger in her eyes that she couldn't wait to vent.

This performance couldn't help but make the two people's hearts sink to the bottom.

But just when Sayu thought they would be in trouble, she took a step forward and planned to take the responsibility alone...

"whispering sound……!"

But they saw that the other party just glared at them unwillingly, as if they were worried about something, and turned around and left without saying anything.

Seeing the other person's leaving figure...

Not only Sayu, but also Masaka Yuko looked confused.

"She just walked away...?"

"Um……"

"Does this count as letting me go...?"

"It seems so..."

"...Why?" Yuuko asked, half relieved and half confused.

Sayu shook his head slightly at this, feeling equally confused.

Just inexplicable.

Someone's face appeared in her mind...
