Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

“…In view of this, I think we should not blindly suppress this type of thing. Students also need a campus life that combines work and rest, so as long as you can confirm that there are no problems with the content, you can try to include it. "

Private Toyozaki Academy, in the teacher's office.

Facing the young man who was chatting in front of him, Yamashiro, who had just been promoted to grade director, rubbed the thermos cup in his hand, and then hesitantly spoke.

"Even so, the school has never had this kind of precedent before bringing something like light into the library, and the impact it will have is also uncertain..."

At this point, he cleared his throat again.

First, he glanced at the other teachers working while drinking water, and then he considered his words.

"In short, although full opening is not possible for the time being, if there are only a few works, it is not impossible to treat them as a trial investigation... So do you have any recommendations? Kato-kun."

In response, the tall young man nodded calmly and responded: "From a literary point of view, I think the recently popular "Metronome of Love" is a good choice."

"Love... metronome?" Yamashiro asked, "Is it the kind of love theme?"

Kato Yusuke nodded again, "Although this is indeed the case, compared to ordinary light works, the writing style and author's literary attainments are quite excellent; the content does not deviate from the scope of high school students, so it will not be published. what is the problem."

"That's it..."

Shancheng nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

‘It’s okay, okay, as long as it’s not the kind of work that travels to another world or promotes violence. ’

With this thought in mind, he nodded and agreed, "In that case, I'll leave this matter to you, Kato-san."

"Thank you, Director Yamashiro."

The young man bowed slightly.

Yamashiro also nodded with a comfortable expression, obviously very satisfied with this title.

Because Nakamura Masaru and Hasumi Kanoko were not in the office at this time, after greeting the other teachers, Kato Yusuke did not stop any longer, but rushed to the next thing without stopping.

…

"What exactly is the "Strange Stone Research Association" that you said you wanted to establish? Please also explain in detail. "

"No, it's just strange rocks. Study all kinds of weird-shaped rocks. You can understand this kind of thing at a glance, right?"

"Have you gathered the minimum three members?"

"We've gathered enough, we've gathered enough. Now we just need to wait for the funds for the activity to be in place, and we can start research immediately~"

"I see."

Standing in front of the door of Class C of the third year, Kato Yusuke nodded.

"Then the next thing is another thing."

He raised the budget application in his hand and said, "The budget you filled in above is 50,000 yen. Can you explain in detail how this money will be used?"

Hearing this question, the boy responded impatiently: "Haha——? So didn't they all say "wonderful stones"? Of course they are used to buy various rare stones, otherwise how could it be expanded? Research? "

With his eyes lingering on the other person's face, Kato Yusuke thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "I understand, since you have reached the minimum number of people for the establishment of the club, the student union can approve it."

"Eh, really——!?"

The excited boy whistled "咻~".

"Thank you very much, Student Council President. Sorry, I wanted to tell the other two people the news now, so I took a step ahead."

With that said, he was about to turn around and leave.

However--

"Wait a moment."

But the young man suddenly changed his words and said: "Although the club can be established, the funds will not be that much."

Facing the other party's gaze, Kato Yusuke first crossed out the 50,000 yen written in the budget column, and then wrote the number "1,500 yen" next to it.

"Given the content of your activities, this should be a more reasonable amount. If you want to apply for more, please make certain achievements in the future——"

"I said, are you kidding??"

The boy who took two steps forward frowned deeply and made a money gesture in his hand, "Do you mean to say, did you listen to what others said? Those things from Qishi are very expensive, and this little money is not enough at all!" "

Even though his words were interrupted, Kato Yusuke was not angry, he just looked at the other party neither humble nor haughty.

"I have made the specific instructions very clear just now. If you want to apply for more funds, please come back after you get the results. So do you want the current amount or not?"

"whispering sound--!"

The boy clicked his tongue in displeasure and said, "I told you that this little money can't buy any precious stones. Do you want us to pick up stones on the roadside and study them?"

Taking a deep look at the boy, Kato Yusuke just responded in a neutral tone: "That's your business, but based on your activities, I don't think you can bring any value to the school. ”

There was no emotion left in his words.

The boy who was stimulated by these words subconsciously wanted to grab his collar, but was stopped in advance by a hand.

After taking a look at the door number of the opponent's class, Kato Yusuke grabbed the opponent's wrist and said slowly: "Although I don't know what you want to do, my temper is actually not good, so can you please pay more attention to me? Senior. "

The gaze unknowingly became a little dark, like a dark quagmire trying to drag people into it.

The boy who was stared at by that gaze involuntarily made a swallowing motion.

Feeling the faint force on his wrist, the boy nodded vigorously, and then said hesitantly: "Okay, okay... I'm really sorry."

After finishing speaking, the strength on his wrist suddenly loosened.

"Then, please consider the possibility of club budget properly, senior." Kato Yusuke said, then turned and left.

…

"Whoosh-"

The cold water washed over his face, sending a chill through his pores into his heart and spleen.

When the young man raised his head again, the coldness lingering in his eyes gradually receded.

Water droplets dripped into the pool along his knife-like cheeks.

Staring at himself in the mirror, Kato Yusuke came to the bathroom and was speechless for a long time.

A certain emotion was causing trouble in his heart, making him feel depressed all the time, but it could not be resolved for a while.

"Can we only rely on time..."

The boy murmured and unbuttoned the collar of his shirt so that he could breathe more smoothly.

At this moment, a faint smell of smoke slowly penetrated into his nasal cavity.

Looking into the mirror, I saw a puff of smoke rising over a closed compartment behind me.

Seeing this, he walked forward directly and knocked on the door gently.
