Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

Latest website:

Knock, knock, knock, cluck.

Inside the shrine, there is a crisp sound of clogs.

Colorful stalls line both sides of the road, spitting out a variety of smells.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue...

The clothes of the girls coming and going are also blooming with bright colors, complementing the yo-yos floating on the water.

Children wearing masks ran around waving toy swords, while adults holding beers followed behind with smiles and gentler expressions on their faces than usual.

The tall and solemn torii becomes a bit softer under the bright light, quietly watching everyone who comes here.

In this small dreamland, there are several lanterns with the names of local businesses and stores hanging on them, illuminating the night with dim lights.

Stand directly below the torii gate.

"Wow……"

Sayu sighed, couldn't help but let go of his palms, and trotted ahead.

Knock knock, knock knock.

"Haha... so spectacular!"

The way his mouth is open looks a little silly and a little cute. The girl looked around so energetically, with the expression on her face like a child being taken to an amusement park for the first time.

Kato Yusuke then put his hand to his mouth like a loudspeaker and warned: "Don't get lost."

"No way." Sayu, who was looking around, turned his head to look this way, with a heartfelt smile on his face, and then he kept pointing around and asked.

"Yusuke Yusuke, what is that?"

"Finding goldfish."

"Where's the one next to you?"

"The water balloon seller."

"Where's this one over here?"

"Airsoft shooting."

"And this?"

"That's just a regular mask booth."

Kato Yusuke, who had his hands in his sleeves, slowly walked forward, then took out a hand and reached towards the other person's forehead, and flicked it with his fingers.

"ah!"

Boom——

The girl made a cute sound, and with the soft muffled sound, Sayu covered her head with her hands.

"Hey, what's going on? What's going on?"

The other party looked up with a confused and pitiful expression.

Kato Yusuke responded noncommittally: "This is just a punishment for annoying JK who deliberately picked some childish questions to tease people. Are you a child?"

"Hey, hey, do they look alike?"

"I'm not complimenting you."

"But then again~"

The girl said this and tilted her upper body slightly.

"I think Yusuke is the only one who will really take care of me like a child. At least in the eyes of others, don't I feel like a newlywed wife?"

The unique citrus sweetness that belongs to the other party floats over gently, and mixes with the sweetness in the air, blending into a fruit-like flavor drizzled with a layer of syrup.

The soft hemispherical F cup is slightly visible at the neckline of the yukata, exuding strong feminine charm. Kato Yusuke couldn't help but look away, secretly forcing himself not to imagine the body temperature hidden in the shadows.

So he decided to change the subject.

"One day you will become a qualified bride——"

The words suddenly stopped at this point, and Kato Yusuke realized what he had said and immediately looked towards Sayu.

He saw that the other party was standing there with his mouth half open, as if he was speechless. He obviously didn't expect to hear such thoughts.

Just a few seconds passed.

The girl's fair cheeks slowly turned red.

"That...means..."

Sayu asked him in a voice so weak that it was almost disappearing: "Will I be Yusuke's... bride in the future?"

The voice was as thin as a gnat, but for some reason it still reached my ears clearly.

"Um?"

Kato Yusuke's eyelids twitched slightly, while Sayu lowered his head in embarrassment, his face red to the roots of his ears.

--"bride"

Words that are ethereal but full of fantasy are just like the full moon hanging high in the night sky, so far away that even if they are used as a joke, people don’t know how to react.

Neither of them spoke for a moment.

Gazing absently at the bright white leisurely moon, Kato Yusuke silently pondered some irrelevant questions, and then asked them nonchalantly.

"...I just smelled apple candy, shall we go buy it?"

The girl's delicate body trembled slightly, then she slowly raised her head, closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

When she opened her eyes again, a smile broke out on her face.

"Well, I want to go!"

◇

A few minutes later, the two stopped in front of a stall.

The stall owner is an uncle with an easy-going appearance. At this moment, he is adding jaggery to the high temperature of the circular hearth. There were also several children who were looking forward to it.

"Is it actually a marshmallow?"

"Ah...marshmallow..."

Sayu murmured, his tone seemed to be filled with emotion.

Seeing this, Kato Yusuke said to the stall owner: "Sorry, please give us one."

"Okay, one hundred yen."

He immediately took out a hundred yen and handed it to the other party.

"...Huh? Yusuke..." Sayu suddenly came back to his senses and cast his gaze over.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"Well……?"

"Because you look like you want it."

"Is it so obvious..."

The girl put the cool catkins into his hand and said softly: "I just remembered going to the festival when I was a child, but I couldn't get the adults to buy it for me. I remember what happened at that time very clearly, so I have always been very happy." interest."

Sayu, who was staring at the heart of the furnace, raised his head slightly and asked a little unconfidently: "Is this weird...?"

Like a piece of fragile porcelain, a little weakness appeared in the girl's eyes.

Kato Yusuke remained silent, just shook his head slowly but firmly, and pulled the other person closer to the stove. There were originally two children here, but it became empty after they got their own marshmallows and left.

"Although I don't know if I can make up for the regret you had at that time, but now that you are free, let's start making up for it with little things, such as the process of making marshmallows."

"Like This."

Sayu nodded slowly, his eyes swaying. Then he focused his attention on the heart of the furnace and started watching.

Buzz, woo——

The kind uncle turned the disposable chopsticks in his hands so that the sugar threads were constantly wrapped around them. It was very interesting to see, and it also had the style of a summer festival.

"Ai."

Sayu, who was lowering his head, suddenly called out softly, attracting Kato Yusuke's attention. The furnace light illuminated the side of her face, dyeing it an orange-red color like burning clouds.

The girl murmured: "Why were you willing to answer that kind of question just now?"

Not caring about the other person who became quiet due to a certain emotion, she resisted the urge to turn around and peek and continued speaking.

""There is someone who will be waiting for me at the finish line." Can I have this expectation? "

No matter how cautious he was, there was still a hint of eagerness to hear the answer in his tone.

The surroundings seemed to become quiet all of a sudden.

Thump, thump.

The cold little hands became a little stiff, and the palms began to sweat slightly. Just when the owner couldn't help but want to withdraw his hands quietly to prevent being noticed...

"I just don't deny any possibility." Kato Yusuke said calmly.

Although the answer was a little irrelevant, it didn't make Sayu say, "That's not an answer at all."

After a while, Sayu nodded and responded.

"...Yeah, that's right."

Then he turned around again, with a narrow smile on his face.

"You are really dishonest."

"..."

Kato Yusuke was too lazy to explain this and just pointed to the front, where the stall owner's work was nearing completion.

"Come on, it's done."

The uncle who turned off the machine handed over a marshmallow about the size of a football.

"Wow, what a big shot...thank you."

Sayu said gratefully and took the marshmallow from his uncle.

"It's great, it's a real marshmallow!"

The girl with a smile on her face showed him the marshmallow, looking very endearing, like a child showing off a treasure to an adult.

'Although it's just sugar. ’ Kato Yusuke thought a little embarrassingly, but he didn’t say this out loud. He just observed the way the other party was eating interestingly.

After tearing off a small piece of the marshmallow with his hands, Sayu immediately exclaimed "Ouch" in surprise.

"When I touched it, I realized it was super sticky. "

"It's sugar after all."

"That's right~"

Immediately afterwards——

"It's so magical, it melted in an instant!" The girl's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

"I told you it was sugar." Yusuke Kato couldn't help laughing as he watched this scene.

Sayu pursed her lips in dissatisfaction when he smiled like this, "Don't laugh at me. This is my first time..."

Yusuke nodded slightly at this and indicated with his eyes that he understood, but the smile on his face had not completely dissipated.

"But..." the girl hummed, then tore off another piece of marshmallow and put it in her mouth.

"Whether it's the fact that the marshmallows are actually sticky or the fact that they melt in your mouth——"

Sayu said in a brisk tone: "If I hadn't met Yusuke, I definitely wouldn't have known about it..."

Kato Yusuke smiled and said nothing, just looked at her with soft eyes and said: "Remember not to eat too much, there will be many others later."

"half each?"

"Um."

"Oh~ In that case."

Without any explanation, the girl tore a piece of marshmallow to his mouth and said, "Then please open your mouth. Ah~~"

The soft sugar strands and cold fingers were pressed against the mouth, and a sweet and light soap smell came from the tip of the nose.

Kato Yusuke then opened his mouth and ate the marshmallow.

"How about it?"

Sayu smiled sweetly and withdrew his hand, then put the fingertips wrapped with sugar threads into his mouth, twirled his fingers and asked, "Isn't it sweet and delicious?"

With his eyes glinting on the glossy lips, Kato Yusuke nodded "Yeah" and said "it's delicious."

The clogs stepped on the cheerful rhythm and the night continued.

The two walked forward side by side.
