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

   Chapter 38 Homecoming

   Not long after Yuuki Mami went out, the door of the office creaked again.

   Kato Yusuke turned around and found that it was Takada Shiori who came in this time.

   "Anything?" he asked, tilting his head.

   "...nothing special either."

  Takada Shiori said with his hands behind his back, looking for something to say.

   "Speaking of which, your school took exams before, did you...do you well?"

   "It's okay." Kato Yusuke gave her a strange look: "After all, it's just a freshman in high school, it's probably easier than you guys."

   "Is that so... Haha, that's what I said."

  Takada Shirou laughed awkwardly, then lowered his head and fell silent.

   An indescribable atmosphere pervaded the office.

   Looking at Shiori Takada who was standing still, Yusuke Kato couldn't help but remember the conversation he had with Uncle Tanaka.

   He paused and said, "By the way, Takada, has the inspector you mentioned a while ago been here?"

   "Huh?" Takada Shi raised his head, thought about it, and said, "I don't think so... Because I asked for leave after you asked for leave, so I'm not very clear about what happened next..."

   "But listen to Mr. Tanaka, that person doesn't come to the store very much recently, he seems to be very busy." She pressed her index finger to her lower lip, "Could it be that... he has given up his plan to drive you away?"

   A pair of eyes lit up suddenly, but was quickly poured a basin of cold water.

   "Unfortunately, I don't think that's possible." Kato Yusuke shook his head and said.

"You have seen what I did to him. Frankly speaking, I am surprised that he has not done anything for so long. As for giving up... it is better not to report such thoughts, although I do not regret it. "

   A light smile appeared on his face, his angular face overlapped with the west-sloping sunset outside the window, making Shiori Takata slightly dazzled.

   "Takada."

   "Huh, ah? Hmm." Takada Shiori came back to his senses, "What, what's the matter?"

   "Anyway, thank you." Kato Yusuke said: "This is for you, thank you."

   He threw something at Shiori Takada.

   "Hey, hey, wow! Don't litter!"

  Pooh~

The    metal tin rolled over the sponge cake a few times, but was finally picked up by Takada Shiro.

   "…Satyr," she whispered.

   Kato Yusuke's expression immediately became strange, and he cleared his throat and said, "Cough...sorry, that is force majeure."

   Violet's eyes lightly gouged out a glance at the other party, and Takada Shiori snorted, and then looked at the thing in his hand.

   “…Red Bull?”

   she murmured, her eyes inexplicable.

   "Is this from Miss Yuuki?"

   "She gave it to you too?" Kato Yusuke asked in surprise.

   The two looked at each other.

   After a few seconds of silence

  Takata Shiori couldn't help laughing: "You are really insincere to give other people's things as gifts."

   "Uh." Kato Yusuke touched his nose and said a little embarrassedly: "That's right, then I'll buy you another one. I'll trouble you about the last time off schedule."

   After saying that, he stepped forward and was about to take back the can of Red Bull, but was dodged by Takada Shiori.

   Kato Yusuke looked over suspiciously.

   "Forget it this time." Takada Shiori said, and then changed his words, "But please come back next time!"

   Kato Yusuke nodded: "Okay."

   The two looked at each other and smiled, and some kind of grudge in their hearts quietly faded a lot.

   (This is the completion of the agreement with Mr. Tanaka.)

   Kato Yusuke thought silently.

   In fact it is.

   In the evening, Uncle Tanaka, who came to change shifts, saw the two of them communicating again, and a kind smile like an old father appeared on his face.

   "Ah, ah, seeing you guys reconciled as before, I feel at ease, uncle." He said with a smile.

   in exchange was ruthless ridicule.

   "What, such a tone." Takada Shiori frowned, "Are you from the Showa era? Mr. Tanaka."

   "Indeed." Kato Yusuke supplemented the knife, "And he also likes to worry."

   "Ahaha, is that so?" Uncle Tanaka smiled unconcernedly and looked at Kato Yusuke's cuff, "Kato, why are your clothes wet?"

   "Huh?" Takada Shiori also looked back.

   Sure enough, the black uniform cuffs seemed to be soaked in water, wet, and there were still traces of rubbing on them.

   "Oh." Kato Yusuke shook his hands that were a little white, and said casually: "I accidentally got water just now."

   "Speaking of which, you did go to the bathroom for a long time." Takada Shiori looked over suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

   "No such thing." Kato Yusuke shook his head, then looked at Tanaka, "Mr. Tanaka, have you met the newcomer?"

   "I seem to have heard of this, how about it? Does it look cute?"

   "It's more of a personality rather than cute, and Takada is currently guiding her."

   "That's really exciting, come on, Takada."

   "Huh? Wait a minute." Takada Shiori asked in confusion, "Why do you premise that your target is a girl?"

   "Well, hahaha, that's probably what happened." Uncle Tanaka glanced at Kato Yusuke, "Right? Kato."

   Kato Yusuke shrugged and said indifferently, "Well, that's it."

   "So what's that like?"

  Takada Shiori looked at the two of them angrily.

---Dividing line---

   As night falls, the lights are on.

  Friday night is more lively than usual. In the streets and alleys, there are izakayas, roast bird shops, and barbecue restaurants, and crowds of people can be seen everywhere.

   His face stained with alcohol was full of enthusiasm for the weekend, and he poured a cup of draft beer into his mouth as if he didn’t need money.

   Everyone is releasing themselves to the fullest, and only at this time can they see a little more truth in their eyes.

   Kato Yusuke, who was walking on the road, watched this scene quietly, as if he was enjoying a human theater.

   (Tell her, don't go out too late.)

  Thinking about things related to his cohabitation made him subconsciously ignore the surrounding environment until—

   "No evil...!"

   A dry retching sound entered his ears.

   "I said you were drinking too much."

   Kato Yusuke raised his head and saw two men in suits standing under a telephone pole not far away.

   One of them was a little sloppy. At this time, he was supporting the wall with one hand, bending over and vomiting continuously, and there was a companion standing beside him.

   "Don't push yourself too hard, Yoshida," said the companion, slapping the other person's back with his hands.

   "Hey, long-winded..." The drunk man said vaguely: "You, you have seen it too, Miss Goto was drunk... I will never allow this kind of thing... Ouch!"

   "Yes yes yes..." His companion said half helplessly, half admiringly, "You are really infatuated... Huh?"

   It seemed that he was aware of this gaze, and the man with glasses turned his head and met Kato Yusuke's gaze.

With an apologetic expression on his face,    nodded slightly to Kato Yusuke.

   Kato Yusuke nodded, then withdrew his gaze and continued to walk forward without stopping.

When    passed by, he also heard the name of another man.

   "Thank you..." The drunk man wiped the filth on the corner of his mouth and said.

   "Hashimoto."

   Hmmm… I’ve been blocked many times, so I decided to drive carefully.
