Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

Walk towards the slightly higher mountain forest.

Because it was a holiday, people were probably happily enjoying staying in bed, or taking this opportunity to leave the countryside and go out for fun.

After ten o'clock in the morning, there were only a few sparse cars on the road, and a few pedestrians walked at a leisurely pace.

The wild cats on the roadside opened their mouths and yawned, crows neighed in the distance, and the crisp sound of quilts being slapped came from somewhere. The village today is still full of tiny happiness.

After enjoying a breakfast and taking a good bath, the boys and girls set off from the old house and slowly embarked on the road to the mountain cemetery.

Kato Yusuke, who was holding a wooden bucket in his hand, was wearing the same clothes as yesterday, still wearing the same black short-sleeved shirt and a pair of ripped jeans.

Sayu, who was accompanying her, put on a fluffy off-shoulder blouse, a pair of high-waisted denim shorts, and a pair of classic canvas shoes. She looked youthful and beautiful.

But his walking posture was slightly unnatural. He was hugging one of the other party's arms tightly, distributing about half of his body weight.

Kato Yusuke then weighed his words and said: "There is a long staircase on the way into the mountain, otherwise I'd better carry you there."

"Well, but in that case, wouldn't it be embarrassing to meet Auntie Mina later, so I'd better not do it."

‘We all live together, do you still care about this...? ’ Some questions couldn’t help but arise in my heart, but I said this: “Then it’ll be fine as long as I’m not seen, right?”

"Hey, what does this mean...ah!" Sayu stopped abruptly in the middle of her words, and a strong sense of weightlessness enveloped her.

A gust of wind filled my ears.

Two strong arms passed behind her shoulders and knees and hips respectively. And her whole body was lifted up and fell into someone's arms.

"The appointment time with Aunt Mina is almost here. The slower you walk at this time, the more likely you will be suspected. I will let you down when we get to the cemetery." Kato Yusuke's voice came from above.

"...Just, even if it's like this." A pair of hands slowly hugged his neck, and the blushing girl murmured in a low voice: "Then there's no need for the princess to hold him, right? Just carry him normally."

Someone smiled at this and did not argue with him. He just walked forward with a steady stride.

Soon we walked from the main road to the small road, and then from the small road to the mountain road.

The scenery on both sides also changed from green rice fields to lush woods. The blue sky is shaded by lush trees, and the air is filled with the fresh smell of earth and grass.

The breeze blowing in front of him ruffled the boy's hair and rustled the leaves.

The sunlight filtered through the layers of dense branches and leaked onto his body, turning into a faint, round, gently swaying halo.

The shadows among the trees make his facial features and outlines more three-dimensional.

Staring at the delicate and handsome face in front of him, and listening to the crisp sound of footsteps in his ears, Sayu's eyes were slightly obsessed.

He couldn't help but raise his hand and stroke the other person's cheek, sliding his fingertips from the center of his eyebrows to his nose, and then from his nose to his mouth and chin.

"It's about you, Yusuke——"

The girl murmured: "Will you love me forever...?"

Kato Yusuke's steps couldn't help but pause, but he immediately returned to normal, with a pair of dark eyes showing a little surprise.

But Sayu just looked at him silently without saying a word, her clear eyes unblinking.

The world seemed to suddenly become quiet.

The young man's eyes moved, and he tilted his head slightly as if accidentally, as if he was thinking seriously.

After a few beats.

"Well, I guess not..."

Sayu's heart suddenly tightened, her eyes suddenly lost their sparkle, and a cold numbness gradually rose from her toes.

Immediately afterwards——

"——The number here should be increasing every day." Kato Yusuke suddenly laughed, "Until the day you don't need it anymore."

His voice was gentle and clean, with a hint of warm ridicule in it.

"……Eh---!?"

My heart trembled suddenly.

The girl hugged the back of her neck with a little strength, and the girl pushed up her upper body, held his cheeks with both hands, and brought her head closer.

"Ah, Yusuke is too much! I want to be with you forever."

The next second——

The cool, soft lips came up against him, and then they pried open the teeth forcefully, intertwining tightly with him.

The wind in the forest became stronger for a moment.

The mottled tree shadows danced on their faces.

Kato Yusuke, whose vision was blocked, had to stop.

I heard Sayu exhale and say: "Actually, I checked something on my mobile phone before. Saitama Prefecture seems to have many famous hot springs. Do you know, Yusuke...?"

"You want to go?"

"Well, I want to go with Yusuke."

A soft and charming murmur sounded in my ears, "There are even private mixed bathing hotels, will you show me... Phew~"

A warm breath blew into his ears.

The girl giggled.

After a long while, Kato Yusuke finally said hello in reply.

The two of them continued walking up the winding stone steps.

Tap tap tap, tap tap tap.

We walked like this for about 15 minutes.

"The cemetery is just around the corner. Let's walk slowly from here." As he said that, he put down the petite body in his arms.

"Yeah, thank you." Sayu gave him a mischievous smile, then straightened out his messy bangs and clothes, and asked, "How is it? Is there anything wrong with me?"

Kato Yusuke smiled hoarsely: "There's nothing wrong with it, let's go."

The left hand is holding a wooden bucket with a wooden spoon, and the right hand is holding the unsteady girl.

After turning around the end of the trail, a fork appears at your feet.

There is an open-air cemetery there.

——The Kamisato Cemetery was established in Kamisato Town.

The trees here have been cut down, and the entire cemetery is completely under the sunlight. It does not look gloomy at all, just like an ordinary park.

It just feels a little more peaceful and quiet.

There are many tombstones of different sizes inside.

Unlike the temples favored by wealthy families, ordinary families with average conditions usually choose to bury the ashes of their deceased relatives in this kind of cemetery.

This also includes Kato Yusuke’s grandfather.

The two people who entered the cemetery successfully found Motoyama Mina in the center.

The other party was squatting in front of a certain tombstone holding a bouquet of white chrysanthemums. The words "Tomb of Kato Shuren" were clearly engraved on the black stone tablet.

After simple greetings.

Kato Yusuke carried a wooden bucket to fetch water alone to prepare for the next cleaning work.

Sayu, on the other hand, stayed where he was with Motoyama Mina, and took the initiative to help sort out the items that needed to be enshrined later.

After a few minutes.

Kato Yusuke came back with a full load of water.

Several people then cooperated to clean the tombstone from top to bottom, and then followed the steps to place Baiju and Motoyama Mina's home-brewed plum wine, and worshiped in front of the tomb.

Wait until the worship is completed.

Mina Motomoto asked about the two's next plans, so Kato Yusuke informed the other party about their plans to go to the hot springs, selectively omitting some details that should not be mentioned.

Fortunately, the person with a gentle personality didn't ask any further questions. He just smiled and said, "That's it~" and nodded in approval of their plan.

And somewhere far away in Tokyo, another drama is taking place.
