Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

Latest website:

Half an hour later.

Using the address recorded on his cell phone, Kato Yusuke returned to the apartment belonging to Iwanami's identity.

The room area is about 15 square meters.

A bed, a table and chairs, and a wardrobe built into the wall are all the furniture.

Although there is a kitchen, there is no gas stove. There is only a household induction cooker placed on a small kitchen cabinet to make up for it.

The room has a toilet and a bathtub.

Although the space is narrow, it can still meet the needs of daily life.

It's an ordinary single apartment, or a doghouse...

But Yusuke is not picky about these things, as long as he has a place to bathe and sleep.

After checking the room, his attention was quickly drawn to the table placed in the center...or rather, the things placed on the table.

It was a large yellow envelope that seemed to contain something, slightly bulging in size.

Reaching out, taking it in your hands, opening the seal, and turning it upside down.

Swish, snap.

A few banknotes and a passbook fell into the palm of my hand.

【Thousand Yen Bill】x10

[Passbook account amount: 250,000]

The password is written on the back of the envelope.

I don’t know if it was left behind by those parents...

Kato Yusuke thought about this for a while, but due to the lack of information about those two people, he really couldn't extend his thoughts.

So I quickly put it behind me and started thinking about other things.

The most concerning thing among them is his current state and Iwanami's identity.

After all, while his appearance remains the same, his name has changed. It's really hard not to think about the reason.

If we look at the theory of time travel, if this world is the same as the world he originally lived in, then "he" at this period should still be in junior high school in Saitama Prefecture, preparing to take the exam.

Rather than something else...

To confirm this conjecture, he decided to do some tests.

Just do what comes to mind.

Kato Yusuke pulled out a chair and sat down at the table, then took out his mobile phone and started dialing some numbers in his memory...

First up is the Yingli pear.

"…………"

Contrary to expectations, the receiver did not hear the "beep--" waiting tone like when making a normal call, but there was silence.

After waiting for about 10 seconds.

The phone disconnected the call on its own and returned to the dialing interface.

Is there no signal?

Yusuke couldn't help but think this, but when he saw the full signal in the upper right corner of the screen, he frowned slightly.

But that’s okay, after all, there may be situations where the other party has no signal.

Then he called Senior Shiyu.

"…………"

A long silence just like before.

After waiting, the interface returned to the dialing numeric keyboard.

Kato Yusuke, who was staring at the screen, frowned deeply and thought for a while.

The crows cackled outside the window, as if taunting him.

After hesitating for a while,

Finally I called Kei.

"…………"

Still familiar with the silence, still returning to the dialing interface on his own.

Kato Yusuke remained silent.

If three people in a row have failed calls, what is the probability that this will happen? This can no longer be explained by coincidence.

An eerie silence filled the room.

As if to break it, Yusuke tapped his fingers on the table.

A pair of sword-shaped eyebrows were locked together tightly, and the expression in his eyes kept changing.

After a long time, he let out a sigh.

Because there are too many missing elements, it is really impossible to prove the situation.

If the system is there, then maybe it will be answered.

But thinking about it again, judging from the other party's attitude of cherishing words like gold, there is a high probability that he will not tell him anything.

Even so, he didn't want to give up so easily.

After pondering for a moment.

He took a deep breath to calm down.

Then he started typing on the numeric keyboard and entered the last number.

That was the number he used when he was in Saitama Prefecture.

If the result this time was the same as before, then he would have to re-evaluate the world.

A sense of tension arose spontaneously.

But now that the matter is over, there is nothing to hesitate about.

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but feel very strange at the thought of talking to his past self.

Raise your hand to press the dial button and wait quietly.

"..."

He couldn't tell how long the wait was. Just when he thought it would end in failure this time, the phone did not return to the dialing interface as before.

"…………beep……"

The heavy blind tone sounded.

Immediately afterwards——

Slap, slap.

A faint sound of snowflakes flashed through my mind.

"...Please host to terminate the current behavior immediately, otherwise there will be unknown consequences!"

The electronic female voice sounded rapidly in my mind.

An indescribable warning sign arose in my heart, like the hairs all over my body standing on end, making my scalp numb.

And in that second.

There has been a new change below the string of phone numbers displayed on the mobile phone screen.

——[00:00]

That means the other party has pressed the answer button.

Without any hesitation, Kato Yusuke immediately ended the call.

"..."

The phone screen went dark.

He probably thought he was a harassing call, so he didn't call again.

"...What did you mean just now? System."

"..."

There was silence in my mind, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

"Open the panel."

A transparent blue interface appears before your eyes.

"Open the store."

"Open the mission."

…

The store and task functions are also the same as usual and can be opened smoothly.

Obviously, the system has returned to normal.

To confirm this, Kato Yusuke turned up one of his palms.

"Exchange for dried fish."

"10 points have been deducted."

[Remaining points: 1260]

A bunch of dried fish appeared out of thin air in the palm of my hand.

"Is this the past world?"

"..."

"What's going on with Iwanami's identity?"

"..."

“Is there any impact talking to my past self?”

A little slower by two or three seconds.

"...Please host to complete the task as soon as possible. Staying in this world for a long time will have unknown effects. I wish you good luck."

After leaving these unanswered words, the system fell into silence again.

Kato Yusuke thought hard for a while, had some vague guesses in his mind, and finally smiled casually.

Although the system seems to have answered nothing, the previous blocking behavior is actually a reminder in itself.

That is, this is not a parallel world, but a real "he" in the past, and there is still a "he" in the current period.

It's just that for some unknown reason, he can't connect with himself in this world.

Although I don’t know the reason why, and I don’t understand why only “his” number can be dialed, but not Megumi’s and theirs…

But as the system said, these are not issues he should consider at the moment.

From beginning to end, he should have only one goal.

That is to change the tragedy that happened to the girl and complete a redemption.

Thinking of this, my mind suddenly became clear.

Kato Yusuke no longer struggles to understand the principle, nor is he obsessed with exploring Iwanami's identity...

Although he already understood why he couldn't use his real name, after all, there was another "him" in the world.

As a visitor who came here from the future, if he continues to act in his original capacity, it may have some unknown impact.

While thinking this in a systematic style, he started to tear open the package of dried fish and ate it with relish.

As he ate, Yusuke couldn't help but think about the girl's situation.

After thinking about it, he took a photo with his mobile phone and sent it to the other party.

After about ten seconds, a "read" mark appeared on the screen.

[Sayu:...What? 】

[Iwanami: Good evening, do you like to eat dried fish? 】

[Sayu:? ? Not like. 】

[Iwanami: I found some particularly delicious dried fish and will bring it to you tomorrow. 】

[Sayu: I said I don’t like it anymore...]

[Iwanami: I understand, so if it is a "couple feeding", would you be willing to eat it? 】

[Sayu: Absolutely——I won’t eat it! 】

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but smile dumbly. Even through the screen, he seemed to be able to see the resistance on the other party's face.

[Iwanami: On the other hand, can you make a larger portion of tomorrow’s bento? 】

[Sayu:...Why would you do such a thing? 】

[Iwanami: Is this my care for my classmates who live alone, and my gratitude for being so enthusiastic about sending my classmates home? 】

I don't know whether he was angry or speechless. Although the message was immediately displayed as "read", it took a while for the other party to reply.

[Sayu:......You are really, very, very shameless. 】

[Iwanami: If I exchange dried fish with you, would you be happy? 】

[Sayu: ...Sorry, I have to study later. What on earth do you want? 】

[Iwanami: About that incident at the golf tournament...? 】

[Shayu: wave coldly.jpg]

[Iwanami: Does this mean you want me to come over to you? 】

[Sayu:…………]

[Sayou: I said, why? 】

[Iwanami: What do you mean? 】

A few beats apart.

[Sayu: ...If you just want to date girls, you should have many choices. Why me? 】

[Iwanami: It’s not why it’s you, but it must be you. 】

[Sayou: It’s inexplicable. 】

[Iwanami: If you use fate to explain it here, wouldn’t it feel very cliche? 】

[Sayu: ...I really hope you have this kind of consciousness in other matters. 】

[Iwanami: It was a night in Tokyo, when a boy and a girl met...]

[Sayu:? ? ? ? ? 】

[Iwanami: Anyway, just know that I will always be on your side. 】

[Sayu: If you don’t want to get into trouble, it’s better not to approach us. 】

[Iwanami: Trouble and all, I like it the most (full of love). 】

[Sayu: ... Weird, why do you have to use a girl’s tone? It’s so disgusting! 】

[Iwanami: Are you laughing now? Can you take a photo for me to see? 】

[Sayu: It’s nothing (angry). 】

[Iwanami: Okay, let’s do this for now. I’m going downstairs to buy a bento. Let’s talk next time. 】

Kato Yusuke, who felt the same, took the initiative to end the conversation and began to pack his things.

Even though the current situation is just right, the girl seems to be very interested.

But it’s just a little trick to get away at this time and leave a little suspense and anticipation for the next chat.

After all, today is different from the past. Sayu at this period is not yet his girlfriend. It is necessary to appropriately maintain a sense of proportion and distance to keep the other party curious and fresh about him.

With this thought in mind, Kato Yusuke shook hands comfortably and prepared to go downstairs to buy something for dinner.

Just as he stood up from his seat, a slight soreness suddenly rose from his calf.

This feeling is so slight that it can easily be ignored.

But Yusuke still felt it clearly.

This made him stop the leg that was about to move, looked down in confusion, and moved his hands and feet at the same time.

A trace of sourness came from the limbs.

That feeling was very strange, as if his originally strong body had suddenly been quietly weakened in some way, making him feel a sense of weakness that he had not seen for a long time.

Although it is a feeling of weakness, it is actually a normal phenomenon that ordinary people will experience in their body muscles after strenuous exercise.

Just because he has always had an abnormal relationship, this normality has become abnormal for him.

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but frown slightly, then raised a hand, slowly made a fist, and gradually increased his strength.

Click, click.

There was a crisp sound between the finger bones.

A series of blue veins appeared under the skin of the wrist, full of a strong sense of strength.

The strange thing is that after he consciously and actively started to control his muscles.

The sour feeling just now disappeared from the body like an illusion.

He slowly opened his palms, stared at them, and inspected them repeatedly.

The slender fingers have well-defined joints. They are a pair of hands suitable for playing the piano and a pair of hands suitable for massaging.

It doesn't look any different than usual...

However, the sour feeling just now stayed clearly in my mind.

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but feel suspicious, and then thought of what the system said before.

——"Please host to complete the task as soon as possible. Staying in this world for a long time will have unknown effects. I wish you good luck."

He didn't think that the feeling of weakness just now was his illusion, nor did he think that the system would deceive him about this kind of thing.

Then the only possibility is the impact of the current world on him.

It was as if it was repelling him, making him clearly realize that he could not stay here for long and must leave as soon as possible.

However, this kind of thing is beyond his control.

Because he didn't know the specific time when Yuko's incident happened, he could only deduce from Sayu's story that it was a day before summer vacation.

Next, in addition to the school, Sayu's sick family is also a problem that needs to be solved.

Now that he's here, he must clear away all obstacles and hidden dangers, otherwise he doesn't think he will have a second chance.

"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"

Thinking about these things, a sense of urgency arises.

However, how to do it specifically and how to do it are still things that need to be thought about carefully.

Kato Yusuke shook his head and decided to buy dinner first and then make plans.

He reached out and put the money in the envelope into his pocket, and then went out.
