Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

"I am leaving."

"Be careful on the road..."

The sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground gradually faded away, and the apartment suddenly became silent. Sayu, who was sitting on the ground, propped the door with one hand and slowly stood up.

"……it is good."

She murmured softly, returned to the living room from the entrance, and began to sort out the breakfast utensils on the table, ready to take them to the kitchen for cleaning.

Wash dishes after breakfast.

Since Kato Yusuke went out, this was her first job every day.

The water flowed out of the pipe, and then rushed to the hands, with a little coldness, which made Ogihara Sayu's thoughts gradually clear.

The sound of "ding ding ding dong" sounded in the pool, and the crisp touch of dishes and dishes came to my ears, which relieved the lonely heart of being alone.

Since there is no room to dry in the shade, Sayu will immediately wipe off the water droplets after washing the dishes.

By the time these things were done, about ten minutes had passed.

It takes about ten minutes to walk to the nearest station from here. Has Yusuke boarded the train? That way, you can get to the school with just one stop.

Thinking of such a thing, Sayu immediately felt a little amused.

"What if you get on the train?"

(No matter how much I talk to myself, no one is listening or responding. Whenever Yusuke is not at home, the frequency of my monologue increases dramatically, and even loneliness increases exponentially. )

"By the way, Yusuke said we could go out to eat together, is this a date...?"

Sayu murmured, and while her cheeks became blush, her heart beat a little faster.

"what……"

She let out a soft cry, and the movement of her hands paused slightly.

here we go again.

"I'm thinking about Yusuke again."

Sayu whispered in a low voice after realizing it, and put the dried dishes into the cabinet. Then he snorted from his nose.

It has been twenty days since I was away from home. With the money from my brother and the idea of ​​"as long as I can stay away from that home", I have been spending time alone in various hotels, all the way from Hokkaido. Tokyo.

until the last penny was spent.

The can of coffee in the memory is still clearly visible, and the drunk middle-aged man is vaguely remembered.

The face has become blurred, and I only remember that the person seems to have struck up a conversation with him.

There is no unprovoked kindness, and no unprovoked malice.

Even though he knew that he was a "high school girl", that middle-aged man still wanted to invite me, a time bomb in society, to his home. He should be fully enjoying his identity as JK.

Sha You thought indifferently: "What was my mood at that time...?"

Uneasy, helpless, hesitant, it seemed that he almost agreed.

Then, miraculously, he met the young man.

"What an incredible person... Even though he's two years younger than me, he feels mature and reliable."

"Bring me home so easily, and as a condition of renting a house, I just gave an overly casual reason like "helping with housework"..."

"I really don't understand..."

(I'm a vibrant high school girl, and, although it doesn't seem right to me, I think I'm pretty good looking. It's not a boast, it's just an objective fact.)

"At least a little... that kind of thought...?"

After the words were spoken, Sayu's mood became inexplicably depressed.

(why?)

She couldn't figure it out.

Never felt this kind of unease before.

Kato Yusuke's absence made her feel extremely long, and errands like housework were soon finished.

All that's left is to wait and wait for someone to come home.

The manga magazine he bought for her, although he read it slowly, he finished it in a few days. When reading the book, "the book that Yusuke Kato deliberately bought for her" made her more happy than the content.

The time she spent with Kato Yusuke made her feel at ease and comfortable.

But after she felt relieved, she was a little scared.

(How can I be in such a happy environment? What kind of benefits do I offer Yusuke? I don't understand at all.)

Sayu even thought to himself that he was living such a day when he was plagued by unease of unknown origin.

"It would be great if Yusuke could simply attack me."

That way she can relax a lot.

Being needed in this simple and easy-to-understand way, she also felt that it was okay to touch Kato Yusuke, and even had a little hope in her heart.

Ogihara Sayu himself didn't understand why he had such an idea, but the result was obvious, Kato Yusuke had never crossed the line.

"Hey...I am relieved, but I feel uneasy. I am uneasy, but I feel warm inside."

She wiped the table with the twisted rag, sighs pouring out of her mouth.

"How long can I stay here?"

She murmured and sat down on the bed, her soft buttocks shaking with the mattress.

(When it's inconvenient, will Yusuke choose to kick me out?)

Like having a girlfriend or something...

In a daze, she remembered the blue shirt of Yusuke Kato in the washing machine last night.

And the faint floral scent on the shirt.

Thinking of this, Sayu felt inexplicable pain as if his heart was being grabbed.

"After all, Yusuke is so gentle."

So Sayu has no doubts that there will be girls who like him.

And if a girl confesses to Yusuke, and Yusuke just agrees...

Then there is no doubt that your own existence will become an obstacle.

Sayu thought so.

In her impression, even high school students, couples in a relationship will often go to each other's house to play, especially if the man lives alone, it is natural to invite him to his home.

(In that case, there is no room for me at all.)

My boyfriend and a girl who is not related by blood live under the same roof all the time. No matter how generous a girl is, I am afraid that this will not be acceptable.

"Haha, if he gets a girlfriend, no matter what, I can only leave."

Sayu let out an embarrassed laugh, and the negative emotions in her head had a chain reaction that made her think of superfluous things.

The delusional images kept flashing in his mind, causing Sayu's internal organs to shrink tightly.

"Yusuke and a girl I don't know are going through the storm."

Just thinking about that scene made Sayu Ogihara feel very annoying.

"It has nothing to do with me."

"Even if Yusuke does have a girlfriend, that's his own choice."

"It's normal to have that kind of situation after dating."

She tried to convince herself with various reasons.

But the more I imagined it, the more unhappy I felt inside.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…"

She slumped on the bed, the discomfort in her stomach made her body curl up.

The loneliness and negative emotions she had never experienced before formed a whirlpool that almost swallowed her up.

"Yusuke...you come back soon."

Saying that person's name softly as if asking for help, Sayu gradually fell asleep.
