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

  Chapter 596 Suggestions

   A long day is finally over.

  The sun in Tokyo is gradually sinking to the west, falling behind the distant ridge, emitting the last ray of light.

  The night of the second day of Comiket.

  An Yilun, who was physically and mentally exhausted, also pushed open the door and walked back to his room with heavy steps.

   Even without turning on the light, he threw himself onto the bed, covered his head with a quilt, and lay dead.

  The evening sun shone through the window, dyeing the room a dim yellow. The cry of the crow on the telegraph pole was particularly horrific in the dark environment.

  An Yilun did just that and lay motionless.

  If you change to normal.

  He should be staring at Comiket’s catalogue, excitedly making various arrangements for tomorrow, and planning the itinerary for the last day’s event.

However-

  What happened in the afternoon completely disrupted his plan, making him not in the mood to think about what he had.

   "Yingli pear..."

  An Yilun also groaned weakly, his mind was in chaos.

  The clock in the house was ticking, the sound was monotonous and boring, and it was annoying to listen to.

   At this time, it has been a long time since he ran to chase Ying Lili and parted ways with her.

   But as soon as he closes his eyes, the picture from a few hours ago will emerge uncontrollably, criticizing his heart.

  He could only get into the bed and stare blankly, hugging his thighs and curling up into a ball. Even if it is difficult to fall asleep, I have to waste time in such a sluggish way.

  Unfortunately, he had another quarrel with the other party.

  The expression and words of the girl before she left still remain in his mind, lingering.

  Although it is commonplace to see Ying Lili angry, but the face that the other party showed today is mixed with sadness and fear...

  The original has long been sealed in the distant past by him, and he vowed never to watch it a second time.

   buzz—

   On the mobile phone, a sympathy email came from Bo Island after customs clearance.

  【Senior Lun Ye, are you okay? 】

  Even though he dropped him twice in one day, the person involved obediently packed up his booth and ran to him.

   When he found him standing still at the intersection in front of the station, he sent him all the way home in a sensible way, and then left.

  Being taken care of by a junior high school student two years younger than himself, even An Yilun felt that he was too shameless, even if he was called a waste.

   But right now he has no extra energy to think about these things, he just keeps tossing and turning on the bed, irritated.

   I don’t know how long it’s been like this...

  Ding Dong~

   Suddenly there was a melodious doorbell downstairs.

  An Yilun also glanced at the phone.

   Tokyo time 19:30.

  Although he doesn't really want to move, he is the only one who can open the door at night when his parents are not at home, so he has to get up.

"So complicated…"

   He grumbled and complained, and reluctantly lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

  Unknowingly, it was pitch black outside.

  An Yilun also fumbled to turn on the light, and walked downstairs with her head drooping.

  While he was going downstairs, the doorbell kept ringing, as if he would not stop until he opened the door.

   "Here, come, who is it...uh—"

  An Yilun also opened the door with a look of boredom, and then froze in place, "Iori...why is it you??"

   "Yo~"

  Hashima Iori raised her hand to brush her stylish brown curly hair, and greeted with a smile: "Good evening, Lunya-san."

  An Yilun's expression became even more bored than before opening the door, and he frowned and asked: "...the representative of the dignified "rougeenrouge" club, why come to my house? "

   "Well, I have something I want to talk to you about, anyway, can you invite me in first?"

   "...That's really embarrassing, although I'm not in the mood to chat, and the date is Ni, I'm even less interested, so please go back."

   "Wait a minute, Lunya."

  Hashima Iori grabbed the door that was about to close with one hand, and said to him: "I didn't come to quarrel with you today, I just wanted to talk to you about going to sea, so can I go in?"

   "...going to sea?"

  A hint of hesitation flashed across An Yilun's face.

   After a moment of stalemate, he still opened the door.

   "Then you come in..."

  …

   Return to the room again.

  Although he was very upset with Iori HASHIMA, Ai Lun reluctantly poured him a glass of water, and sat cross-legged on the carpet.

   "So what? You just said what happened to Hai?"

   Seeing that he asked directly, HASHIMA Iori was not polite, so she said: "You really did something superfluous, Tomoya-san."

   "What did you say??"

   "I've seen it all, what you've done."

  Hashima Iori said bluntly: "Didn't you help Chuhai her sell the book with great fanfare today? And it's all sold out."

   "Since you've seen it all, why do you ask on purpose! Besides, so what? Who told your brother to ignore her." An Yilun said angrily.

   "It's a pity, I had a good impression of you, Lunya."

  Hashima Iori took a sip of water, and her tone became slightly sharper, "But now, I hate you a little bit, why are you so self-willed?"

   Regardless of An Yilun who was stunned for a while, he continued talking.

   "You just said that I don't care about going to sea, right? But have you ever thought that I actually made a future plan for going to sea? But you completely disrupted it."

  An Yilun also: "...What do you mean by that?"

   "It's just a literal meaning. I originally wanted to make it easier to create at sea, at least for another two or three years..."

  Hashima Iori paused at this point, and sighed softly: "But you dragged her into the turbulent waves of society. You must know that she is only a sophomore in junior high school."

   "..."

  An Yilun also blinked, vaguely understood what he wanted to express, but still rebutted unconvinced.

   "Even if you say that... since Chuhai has that kind of talent, it's only a matter of time before it becomes popular, whether I have it or not."

   "However, she could have been a well-received fan writer for a while, with only a few passionate believers following her and living a peaceful life."

   "The important thing is how many people can see her work! Only criticism can make an author grow?"

   "So you're exposing her to all the jealous slurs online? What if she breaks down over it?"

  Hashima Iori sneered: "You should be aware of Kato-kun's situation at the time, right? Although that person won in the end, do you think that anyone can easily handle it?"

   "—!"

  An Yilun was also taken aback, subconsciously wanted to deny his words, but didn't know how to speak, and finally just said something dry.

   "It's the producer...no, it's the older brother's responsibility to protect her well in that environment?"

  The voice of speaking subconsciously became softer, revealing a taste of guilty conscience.

   "…Maybe."

  Hashima Iori glanced at him sideways, and said, "Oh, I haven't thought enough about going to sea now, there are too many problems with my body."

   "You guy, don't use your own standards to judge your sister! She has only been painting at sea for a few months and can reach this level. She is already a genius!"

  An Yilun also voiced his grievances for his disciple with a full face.

   "Hehe, that's true~"

  Hashima Iori's tone was a little more ostentatious.

   "To be honest, even I didn't expect to grow so much all at once in the sea. I can only say that it is thanks to the master painter in your club."

  An Yilun didn't want to continue this kind of meaningless conversation with him, and began to drive people away rudely.

   "In short, if your interrogation of the teacher is over, please return to me as soon as possible!"

   "Sorry, that's not working yet."

  Hashima Iori shook her head, looked straight into his eyes and asked, "I heard about it from Izumi, Tomoya-san, are you having a conflict with Sawamura-san?"

   "—!"

  An Yilun's expression suddenly changed, and he was speechless in a daze.

   "It really is like this~ I said why you were so lost when you just opened the door, and your eyes seemed to be dead."

   "That's enough, you bastard! You actually came all the way here to see my jokes, right? Do you just like to sprinkle salt on other people's wounds?"

   "No~ on the contrary, I'm here to help you."

"…help me??"

   "Exactly."

  Hashima Iori nodded, pretending to be helpless and said: "Speaking of which, Lunya, do you misunderstand me too deeply?"

   "It's useless to talk less about it. What do you mean by helping me? I don't think I need your help!" An Yilun also glared at him.

   "Well~ don't be so excited, just like I said just now, I'm not your enemy, you don't need to be so on guard."

  Hashima Iori didn't take it seriously, with a frivolous smile on his face, he asked: "Besides, you should also want to reconcile with Sawamura-san, right?"

"I-"

  An Yilun also opened his mouth, his expression kept changing, and he asked silently: "...Even if it is, so what, is it possible that you can talk Yinglili?"

   "How is this possible?"

  Hashima Iori laughed dumbfounded: "If you have this kind of thinking, it would be more practical to ask Kato-kun."

   "Then you mean...do you have any other options?" An Yilun also asked hesitantly, feeling a little shaken in his heart.

  Although he hates the person in front of him, it is undeniable that the other person is indeed very sophisticated. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get to his current position as a high school student.

  Leaving aside the character, he at least trusts in Iori HASHIMA's ability, if the other party is willing to help him sincerely...

   "It's hard to say whether there is a specific way~"

   "Iori, you bastard...!"

   "Hey, didn't I tell you to stay calm? Even if I want to help you find a way, you have to let me understand the specific situation first, right?"

  Hashima Iori said unhurriedly:

   "In short, let's sort out the situation first. If there is anything wrong with what I said next, you can correct me later."

  He began to speak eloquently.

   "Then, if I guessed correctly, that Sawamura-san should have felt threatened from Kazumi, and his heart was shaken because of this."

   "Tomoya-san, you tried very hard to solve it, but it backfired because you didn't get the point. Not only did you fail to resolve the conflict with Sawamura-san, but it also irritated the other party even more."

   "The result is that the two of you are now completely deadlocked, and you can't even do things like communication... Am I right?"

   "How do you..."

  An Yilun also stared at him dumbfounded, not knowing what to say for a long time, completely unable to hide the shock in his eyes.

after awhile.

  He asked in a hoarse voice: "These... all told you from the sea?"

   "It doesn't matter if you want to understand it that way, but she only told me what happened to you in the venue, and the rest is basically my personal inference, I just don't know if it's right~"

  Hashima Iori answered him with a leisurely smile, his tone full of playfulness.

  An Yilun also secretly swallowed, and had nothing to say about it.

  Basically, if he hadn’t been sure that he hadn’t told anyone about the affair with Ying Lili, he would have almost assumed that it was the information revealed by the side of the wave island.

  But in the other party's statement just now, it was as if he had witnessed the whole process with his own eyes!

  However, HASHIMA Iori couldn't do that at all. After all, the other party was still busy with club affairs at that time, which he saw with his own eyes when passing by the gate area.

   And only relying on some ambiguous information, the facts can be deduced to be inseparable...

  Although she was a little reluctant to admit it, An Yilun was still moved by the intelligence of the other party.

  He thought for a while, and then asked cautiously: "...if things are as you said, what should I do now?"

   "Well... all I have to say is an apology, right?" HASHIMA Iori replied as a matter of course.

"But-!"

  An Yilun also frowned.

   "I don't think there is anything wrong with me in this matter. That guy is obviously a famous fan writer, but he lacks self-awareness. Why should he compare himself with a newcomer going to sea?"

   "...Are you serious? Lunya."

  Since entering this room, HASHIMA Iori showed a dumbfounded expression for the first time.

   "Although I am very happy that you can approve of going to sea so much, but what we are talking about now is the problem between you and Sawamura-san?"

   "But... But, Ying Lili and Chuhai, there is no point in comparing them at all, right?"

  As if seeking approval, An Yilun also defended himself, "After all, the two of them are completely different in terms of subject matter, popularity, and current status—!"

   "..."

  Hashima Iori stared at him repeatedly for a while, and said quite speechlessly: "...I think I probably understand why you made Sawamura-san angry."

   "Don't you think so??"

   "Instead, I want to say, it's a shame that you, Tomoya-san, can blame the cause of the incident on the creative side. If this is in a game, you are the kind of male protagonist who is so bad that it can't be cured."

   "Anyway, your description is too much, right??!"

   "Then let me ask you, do you still want to wait for the girl to apologize to you?"

   "If only a little..."

   Ai Lunya was only halfway through speaking when Iori HASHIMA interrupted him.

   "—I advise you to give up that unrealistic idea as soon as possible."

"Uh…?"

   "Anyway, we're not here to evaluate how outrageous your ideas are. You just need to understand that it won't work to reason with girls. So Lunya, what are you going to do next?"

   "You said you didn't comment, but you just gave someone a bad word by the way!"

  An Yilun also murmured first, and then fell into thinking.

  Hashima Iori's words are not pleasant, but at least he knows how to please girls better than him.

  His eyes kept changing, and he struggled for a long time before finally making up his mind.

   "...Although I still can't fully trust that guy, and I can't forgive her for what she did! But... I want to make up with Ying Lili no matter what!"

   "Is that so..."

  Hashima Iori's eyes flickered for a moment, she nodded slightly at this, and said: "Although there are some parts of your words that I am concerned about, let's think about countermeasures first."

  An Yilun unconsciously sat up, "Then what should I do?"

   "Well, since the other party is an otaku girl, should we use some special methods to reconcile?"

   "Uh, the special method means...?"

  crack~

  Hashima Iori snapped her fingers, and smiled at him inscrutablely: "Go and capture the female characters of your childhood sweetheart, Tomoya-san."
