Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

"How to solve it today? Canteen? Or a canteen?"

Yamaguchi Takashi asked casually.

"Hmm..." Takei Ichiro folded his arms around his chest and pondered with frown and keyhole.

"Bamboo Well..."

Yamaguchi patted him on the shoulder and looked at him with an expression he didn't know what to say.

"Don't you get tired of eating ramen at least six days a week, seven days a week?"

"Eh? Why?" Takei Ichiro looked puzzled, and counted with his fingers: "Soy sauce ramen, miso ramen, salt-flavored ramen, pork bone ramen, seafood ramen, Kitafang ramen, there are already six basic flavors. planted."

"And there are tsukemen and sauce noodles, so many possibilities... Teeth white, I'm totally excited haha!"

"Xiao—!" A white column of air spewed out of his nostrils, and Zhujing looked at Yamaguchi with his fists clenched, and said in high spirits, "Let's go eat ramen together!"

"No, you should spare me!" Yamaguchi Takashi covered his mouth and waved his hands again and again: "Thanks to you, my mind is full of the smell of ramen now... ugh! I won't eat it for at least a month. Eat and pull... vomit!"

"Eh—!? Why is this?"

Takei said blankly, then looked at Kato Yusuke.

"What about Kato...? Would you like to go to the cafeteria to eat ramen together?"

"Okay." Kato Yusuke nodded, then closed the book with a "snack", got up and walked to the two of them: "Let's go."

"Eh……?"

"Great--!"

Two very different responses uttered at the same time.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Yamaguchi Takashi stopped Takei who was raising his fists in celebration, and said to Kato Yusuke: "You just said go to the cafeteria, Kato?"

"That's it." Kato Yusuke frowned: "What's the problem?"

"What about the bento?"

"I didn't do it today."

"……that is it?"

"if not?"

"Well..." Yamaguchi Takashi pondered, looking at Kato Yusuke up and down with probing eyes, and thoughtfully said: "Could it be that you broke up with that bento girl?"

"Eh?! Isn't that bad?! Is this true Kato?!"

Takei Ichiro said in a blunt voice.

Kato Yusuke looked at the two with a black line on his face, his mouth twitched slightly: "...When did I say I had a girlfriend?"

"Come again and again."

With an unspoken smile on his face, Yamaguchi Takashi walked over to Kato Yusuke and pressed his elbow against his chest: "It's almost time to tell us, which girl are you dating? It's from our school. ?"

It turns out that this kind of gossip really does not distinguish between men and women.

Thinking of this, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but sighed, and said with a bit of interest: "If there is nothing, there is nothing, whatever you think."

Then he walked out of the classroom alone.

...

The private Toyonozaki Academy is worthy of the high praise rate in recent years. Not only does the school cover a large area, but the cafeteria is also built very large. Students can eat all kinds of cheap and delicious food here.

And the tuition fee is not too expensive, except for the first year, which is 1.2 million yen because of the admission fee and school uniform, and only 800,000 yen per year since the second year, but it does not include accommodation. , otherwise it will be higher.

Kato Yusuke ate the soy sauce ramen made by the cafeteria auntie, and couldn't help but miss Sayu's food.

The noodles are ordinary plain noodles. The soup base is made of dried fish and chicken bones. It is flavored with thick soy sauce, which is rich in color and rich in flavor. The side dishes are bamboo shoots and spinach, which are nutritionally balanced and healthy.

"It's just a little light..."

Kato Yusuke thought to himself,

The chopsticks in his hand froze for a while, and then a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face: "...When did I become picky?"

From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult.

Getting used to the meals made by Sayu Ogihara, Yusuke Kato's standards for the taste of food have unknowingly raised a lot.

But this is normal. Even if the technical factors are aside, there is an essential difference in the level of effort between the two.

The purpose of the cafeteria is to satisfy the tastes of the vast majority of people, and since Kato Yusuke is not an important person, others will naturally not take care of his tastes.

On the contrary, Sayu is different. Whether it's because of the psychological dependence of others, or for some other reason, there is always only one purpose for the girl to cook.

That is to make Kato Yusuke feel delicious.

Thinking of this, Kato Yusuke's eyes were slightly complicated, and a bright smile appeared in his mind involuntarily.

"Sure enough, smiling is more suitable for her."

He murmured, and the corner of his mouth raised a gentle arc, an expression that had never been shown in front of Sayu Ogihara.

"Speaking of which, it's almost time for her to get up at this time. I deliberately turned off the alarm clock on my mobile phone last night, and memorized English words in the toilet in the morning. I wonder if she will be shocked when she wakes up and sees the time. Jump……"

"But compared to that, the first thing she saw should be a sandwich. After all, I placed it according to her usual waking up habits. Although I have no confidence in the taste, as a patient, I should ignore this and eat well..."

Thinking of this, he paused for a moment, and his eyes were slightly lost.

"...I shouldn't have promised her yesterday. After all, I'm still a girl, so it's really too reluctant to walk home in the rain with her back? …”

Slip... slip...

"..."

"..."

"Kato...?"

"Kato...?"

"Kato--!"

Yamaguchi Takao said loudly, stretched out his hand and waved vigorously in front of Kato Yusuke.

His eyes, which had been sluggish due to trance, gradually recovered.

"What's up……?"

Kato Yusuke said, casting a questioning look at Yamaguchi Takaya.

"Is it tasty?"

Yamaguchi Takashi said with a smile.

"What's the meaning?"

Kato Yusuke frowned, and he was a little uncomfortable with the other party's nonsense tone.

"Ramen...is it delicious?"

Yamaguchi Takaya said again, the expression on his face was very exciting, as if he was trying his best to endure something.

"……Why do you ask?"

"Ahahahahaha, no, no, I can't help it."

Hearing Kato Yusuke's question, Yamaguchi Takashi couldn't help but burst out laughing, and even Takei Ichiro on the side was covering his mouth and laughing, his body shaking like a sieve.

"I mean……"

After an unknown amount of time, Yamaguchi Takashi raised his head and pointed at the empty bowl in front of Kato Yusuke.

"Are you eating air?"

At that moment, Kato Yusuke swore that he even thought about where to bury Yamaguchi Takashi.
