Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

Around the afternoon of the second day.

After the Kato family's apartment was vacant for one night, it became crowded again.

"How is it? Is your body okay?" Mami asked the girl on the bed with concern after get off work.

Facing this question, Sayu suddenly showed a troubled expression.

First, I glanced at the busy figure in the kitchen, and then said with a wry smile: "Well—under this situation, even I don't know what happened."

"Hey, does that mean that there is still some discomfort?"

"No, it's better to say that instead of being asked to lie here, I would rather be able to do some housework. I always feel like my body is going to rust."

Obviously, the girl's lips pursed slightly unhappily.

And hearing this answer, Mami couldn't help but glance at the kitchen, and then looked back.

He said to Sayu in a normal tone: "Anyway, it's you who usually do these things, and occasionally let Kato Tsai experience the hardships of a man who lives alone, so it's fairer."

"The hardships of a man living alone...?"

Repeating the words from the other party's mouth, the girl couldn't help but let out a "poof" laugh.

"What did you say, it's funny."

Sayu, who couldn't help laughing, said: "And Yusuke he--I lived alone for a long time before I knew him, so these things are not difficult for him."

After thinking for a while, he added: "Well...except for cooking."

At the same time, a response from Kato Yusuke came from the kitchen.

"I mean you know I can hear it here, Mami."

While processing the ingredients in his hand, the boy said without looking back: "By the way, I'm in charge of today's dinner, so even if you think it's not delicious, I don't care."

The tone of speech is also the same as usual, and even with a bit of joke-like ridicule, which makes people feel relaxed subconsciously.

But looking at the side face with a faint smile, Mami couldn't match it with the expression last night.

Even though it was the same person and the same face, the two made her feel completely different.

It was as if one was a living person and the other was some kind of icy machine, completely different from each other.

"Mami...?"

Seeing that she didn't speak suddenly, Sayu asked aloud, "What's the matter? You look like you're in a hurry."

"... uh—not at all."

Mami shook her head vigorously.

Forcing myself not to think about what happened last night, and then speaking.

"Just thinking that Kato Tsai is funny enough. He clearly has toiletries in these hospitals, but he wants to go outside to buy them, causing people to look around for a long time."

In response, Sayu chuckled lightly and took Mami's hand to say thank you.

In fact, Kato Yusuke did return to the hospital by himself last night, and also prepared a change of clothes for her. As the message on Line said, it seems that the other party really just went out and bought something.

This made the girl feel a little relieved while feeling happy.

As for the fact that Mami came back behind Kato Yusuke, she didn't think much about it, she just assumed that the two of them didn't meet outside.

While thinking about this, Kato Yusuke just finished dinner.

When that pile of raw rich ingredients and tai chi-shaped metal pots are served.

Not only Mami, but Sayu couldn't help but ask, "Hey, is this... hot pot?"

Looking at the bottom of the pot with half red soup and half clear soup, the girl subconsciously denied this statement.

"Like, isn't it?"

Kato Yusuke shook his head, "Accurately speaking, it's Chinese hot pot."

"Chinese hot pot?" x2

The two women who heard this answer couldn't help but glance at each other, and then Mami spoke first.

"Does Chinese mean Chinese cuisine? Like mapo tofu and fried rice?"

Suddenly a sigh sounded in the room.

I saw Kato Yusuke complaining to Mami with the expression on his face looking at a countryman: "Although what you said is quite delicious, if your understanding of Chinese food only stays at this level, it makes me feel a little bit. It's a little pathetic."

"Wow, you're such a disgusting person—!"

Mami, who was provoked by these words, blushed in an instant, then hit Yusuke hard on the shoulder, and then cried to the girl who got out of bed: "Sayou sister ~ your boyfriend is bullying me! It sucks!"

Sayu, who said "okay", patted her back lightly to comfort him, but looked at Kato Yusuke curiously.

I saw the other party lightly lit the gas stove, put the pot on it, and then brought three pairs of small bowls and placed them in front of several people.

Looking closely, one is filled with raw eggs, and the other is filled with tawny sauce.

Not only that, but the young man brought two small plates with chopped green onion and parsley.

Facing the suspicious eyes of the two, Kato Yusuke explained: "One is sesame paste, and the other is egg liquid. Choose the taste you like. You can add chopped green onion and coriander according to your personal preference."

After speaking, he turned his attention to Mami, "Including the bottom of the pot and the dipping ingredients, most of the ingredients for tonight were bought from Chinatown, which can basically guarantee the original taste. I will see if it suits your taste later. ."

Inexplicably, Mami felt a sense of superiority from the other party's words, and slapped her tongue rudely: "I will eat it even if you don't say it, but if it doesn't taste good, I will say it rudely. come out!"

"Ah, no problem." Kato Yusuke replied with a chuckle.

About five minutes passed.

"Gollum Gollum-"

Seeing that the soup base in the pot started to roll, he lifted the lid directly.

As a white mist gushed out from the pot, an extremely strong fragrance also permeated from it, and quickly spread throughout the room.

It was like a bomb exploded in a pot.

"Gudu..."

When the aroma entered her nose, Yuki Mami immediately swallowed.

"Ah~ it smells delicious."

Sayu also said in surprise: "But... won't this be very spicy?"

"This one is slightly spicy."

Kato Yusuke shook his head: "But because you have just been discharged from the hospital, you can only eat clear soup."

Hearing this, a small face could not help wrinkling immediately.

Mami, who was on the side, stared at the pot for a moment, only to feel that a monster named Appetite was quietly awakening in her stomach.

In fact it is.

...

"It's delicious! What the hell, it's delicious! Kato boy, is there such a thing in the world? And the combination of sesame sauce and hot pot is also a perfect match! This is too bad, sigh... …”

Not to mention Mami, who was gobbling down, even Sayu, who was eating the bottom of the clear soup pot, had a happy expression on her face.

"Umm—! It's delicious!"

The girl exclaimed with satisfaction.

Kato Yusuke is constantly holding meat and vegetables in his bowl, and he has not yet moved his chopsticks.

Out of the idea of ​​recuperating Shau's body and thanking Mami, the ingredients he bought today are all the best on the market.

Therefore, even in a bland soup pot, it tastes very delicious after being coated in egg wash.

As a result, Mami, who had been dismissive before, ate a lot tonight without any surprise, fully embodying the truth that the essence of human beings is really fragrant.

And Sayu didn't eat too much because of his care, after all, no matter what, you need to be in moderation.

For this reason, Kato Yusuke gently but firmly refused the girl's willingness to eat.

Although the other party was a little resentful about this at the beginning, after seeing the uncomfortable look on Mami's face after the meal, these small emotions disappeared.

All in all, this meal was a delightful meal.

The three of them ate and chatted like this, and the time passed quickly.

When Sayu feels a little sleepy, Mami will be rushing to the door to say goodbye to them.

It was now ten o'clock in the evening.

After taking a bath, Sayu quickly fell asleep first.

By the time Kato Yusuke walked out of the bathroom, the girl had already fallen asleep.

Staring at those sleepy eyes quietly for a long time, Kato Yusuke quietly began to put on his clothes.

finally.

With an inaudible sound of the door closing, the boy's figure also disappeared from the room.

Walking on the deserted street, what was illuminated by the dim moonlight was a slender figure in a black hooded sweater, and a hideous Tengu mask looming under the brim of the hat.

Tonight is doomed to sleepless.
