Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

Time flies by in the blink of an eye.

On Monday, October 12, the second episode of "Chainsaw Man" was officially released with the new issue of "Young Undead".

On this day, readers finally knew Machima’s name.

Thanks to the ranking of comic magazines and the effect of ranking first in questionnaires.

The term "makima" instantly replaced the original "woman with circled eyes" and quickly spread on Twitter.

Also on the same day.

The private Toyosaki Academy ushered in the midterm exam for the second semester.

The exam starts on October 12th and ends on October 15th.

It lasts for three days in total.

Private Toyosaki is not a high school for students to enter higher education, and students are not required to stop all club activities the week before midterm and final exam weeks.

The only requirement is to suspend activities during the exam period.

Although it does not include the student union, Kato Yusuke still sent a notice to the contact group in advance, suspending work for these three days so that people can concentrate on reviewing their homework.

Yinglili felt as if she had received a special reminder, but there was no evidence to prove this.

However, in order to successfully participate in the winter festival in December and avoid being banned by her mother, she had to study hard for a few days.

The daughter of a British diplomat family failed the English test in Japanese high school.

Although it is difficult to understand, it is actually the case.

After experiencing the initial confusion, Kato Yusuke gradually accepted this.

The midterm exam proceeds in an orderly manner.

Either relaxed or nervous, the students got through these three days.

In the afternoon after the last exam, there was a school-wide cleaning, and everyone had to participate.

After cleaning the classroom, Kato Yusuke carried a metal bucket with a rag and went to the student union room in the activity building alone without telling anyone.

Use the key to unlock the door, push the door open and walk into the room.

He took off his uniform jacket and put it on the sofa, then carried the bucket to the bathroom on the third floor, washed the rag, and filled the bucket with clean tap water.

Return to the student union room again.

Kato Yusuke rolled up the sleeves of his shirt and started cleaning.

Start wiping from the desk first, from the table top to the table legs, wipe every area carefully, and don't leave any corner behind.

Then there are cabinets, coffee tables, windowsills...

Chirp, chirp,

The sound of rags echoed quietly.

The tap water in the iron bucket gradually became turbid from being crystal clear at the beginning.

In contrast, the furniture in the room has become completely new.

The air was filled with the faint smell of tap water.

The cool autumn wind blew into the room from the window, fluttering the curtains lightly.

The originally lively playground gradually became quiet during the cleaning process.

Since there is no need to participate in club activities today.

At this moment when the clock hands point to six o'clock, few students will stay in the school. Those like him are the exceptions.

After finishing cleaning, Yusuke poured out the water and put away the iron bucket and rag.

Just as he was putting on his coat and preparing to go home, the door behind him suddenly opened with a click, and a mature and pleasant female voice sounded.

"...Kato-kun?"

Looking back, Hassan saw Kanoko standing there in surprise, as if she was surprised that he was here.

"Hasumi-sensei." Kato Yusuke nodded in greeting and turned around.

Today's teacher is wearing a white slim-fitting dress, a lotus-colored cardigan, and a pair of white loafers.

"……good afternoon."

Teacher Hasumi lifted the brown leather bag on his shoulder and asked, "It's so late, why haven't you gone home yet?"

"I just cleaned the student union room, and I'm going back now."

"Cleaning? Are you alone?"

Kato Yusuke hummed and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I just saw the window here open downstairs, so I came up to take a look..."

Hasumi Kanoko first explained, and then suggested as if she remembered something: "Speaking of which, since you haven't gone back yet, otherwise the teacher will treat you to dinner."

"No need for that..."

"—Just about that Kasumigaoka classmate, I also have something I want to ask you about, is that okay?"

"……What's the meaning?"

"Let's wait until we have dinner to discuss the details, right?"

"..."

Kato Yusuke thought for a moment and then agreed.

Ever since.

Under the leadership of Hasumi Kanoko, the two came to the shopping street near Toyosaki Station.

"What do you want to eat, Kato-san?"

"It will be all right."

"How about the curry?"

"good."

"Do you like chicken, pork, or beef?"

"whatever."

"What about fried pork chops? Boys should like this, right?"

"It's up to you."

Her dark brown hair was draped over her back, and a white hairband was tied around her neck, swaying lightly in front of Kato Yusuke's eyes.

The two stopped in front of a butcher's shop.

"Welcome~~~ It's all fresh meat. What would you like to order?" The middle-aged aunt with a headscarf on her head greeted enthusiastically.

"Excuse me, please give me two chicken breasts and two pork tenderloins."

"Okay~!"

"...Hasumi-sensei?"

"What's wrong? Kato-san." Kanoko Hasumi, who was taking out her wallet from her bag, raised her head and asked.

"What are you doing?"

"You can tell when you buy the ingredients for dinner, right?"

"Aren't you eating out?"

"Aren't you confident in my cooking skills? You don't have to worry about this. The teacher is usually cooking."

"Okay, little girl~this is your meat, welcome to come again next time~!"

"Well, thank you, thank you for your hard work." Hasumi Kanoko paid and took the plastic bag handed over by the shop owner.

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but frowned when he saw this, his lips moved, but he didn't speak immediately.

When the two of them left the butcher shop and continued walking forward, he quickly walked up to Hasumi Kanoko and asked incomprehensibly: "Are you planning to cook at home?"

"Yeah~ That's it."

"This is inconvenient."

"It's inconvenient... Where do you mean Kato-san?" The woman smiled and tilted her head.

"I'm going to the teacher's house."

"...It's just a meal, and didn't you come here last time?"

Can the difference between the two be the same?

Kato Yusuke frowned and said nothing, while Hasumi Kanoko continued to speak.

"...After all, a teacher's income is not high. It's more affordable to eat at home than to go out. I'm going to aggrieve you today, right?"

"...It's not a matter of grievance. If it's inconvenient for you, I can pay for it."

"Thank you, but let's wait until you graduate. The teacher has something to ask you today, and the ingredients have already been bought, so that's it."

Although the tone of the person in front of him was gentle and tactful, he was also insistent.

So Kato Yusuke stopped talking.

After that, they bought potatoes, carrots, onions, fish cakes and other ingredients.

Then the two of them left the shopping street together and came to a nearby medium-sized apartment.

Kato Yusuke stopped in front of the building and said, "You go up first, I will go up later."

Hasumi Kanoko glanced at him and didn't refuse. She just asked, "Do you remember the house number?"

"Remember."

"Well, that's good. See you later."

Kato Yusuke nodded and watched her figure disappear into the elevator car. He waited downstairs for about five minutes before slowly walking up the stairs.

It took about five minutes to walk up the fourth-floor corridor, all the way to the door of the third-to-last apartment at the end.

Hasumi Kanoko, who was holding a shopping bag in her hand, was leaning against the door. When she saw him approaching, she smiled gently and made a half-serious joke: "Great, I thought Kato-kun wouldn't come. Woolen cloth."

He changed his name as if nothing had happened.

Kato Yusuke shook his head and replied no.

Hasashi Kanoko then turned around, holding a plastic bag in one hand, while reaching out with her right hand to the satchel at her waist, and fumbled for her house keys inside.

Ding Ling clang, snap!

The key accidentally fell from the bag to the ground.

When Ren saw Kanoko, she yelled, and immediately bent down to pick it up.

The long hair tied back fell down to one shoulder, revealing her slender neck. The dress made of soft material is lifted up slightly, revealing a small section of slender legs with bright white skin.

This kind of action inadvertently highlights the graceful curves of the female body. It is not erotic, but very beautiful.

Kato Yusuke watched her pick up the keys in an awkward posture, and for no reason he thought of the scene in the "beams" locker room when he was at Roktenma.

Because the key fell on the other side, he didn't help to pick it up, and the other party straightened up again at this time.

"...Excuse me, I'll open the door now." Hasumi Kanoko said a little embarrassedly, then inserted the key into the door lock and turned it to one side.

With a "click", the metal door opened.

"Okay, come in."

"excuse me."

Kato Yusuke followed the other person into the entrance hall.

Hasumi Kanoko held the shoe cabinet with one hand, took off her loafers slightly with her feet, put on the house slippers placed at the door, then took a pair of disposable slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them on the ground.

"Kato-kun, please wear these."

"Thanks."

After changing into slippers, the two entered the living room one after the other.

There is a faint scent of orchids in the air.

"You take a rest on the sofa first, and I'll get you some juice."

"good."

Kato Yusuke came to the sofa and sat down, looking around the room aimlessly.

The house was kept very tidy.

Compared to his apartment, Hasumi Kanoko's apartment is much larger.

The living room has good lighting, and the kitchen is an open design with an island. The gas stove and the food processing area are independent of each other. There is a dining table for four people next to the island.

Although the living room and kitchen are in the same space, they are well divided through the placement of furniture.

There is also a separate bedroom, but because the door is closed, you can't see inside.

The color of the room is bright overall.

The warm orange fabric sofa, grass-colored carpet, and TV cabinet are also made of bright orange that looks very comfortable.

In many ways, it shows the sophistication and delicacy of women, and it has obviously been carefully arranged.

"--Awaited."

Hasumi Kanoko brought the glass with orange juice over, and then said: "Then I will prepare dinner, and you can watch TV for a while and wait. The remote control is next to you."

Kato Yusuke thanked him and asked, "Did you buy this apartment?"

"Eh?"

"Because it's well laid out."

"Thank you for your compliment~"

Hasumi Kanoko laughed happily, and then shook her head, "But I didn't buy it. This apartment belongs to the construction company. I am still renting here."

"Is that so?"

"Well, that's it. Although I also want to buy this place, but it will cost a lot of money. After all, this is Chiyoda City, so I can only think about it~"

Kato Yusuke nodded lightly to express his understanding. After all, whether it is the Minato City where he lives or the Chiyoda District where Toyosaki Academy is located, they are both wealthy areas in Japan, and the housing prices are naturally not affordable by ordinary people. Affordable.

Even his old apartment could be exchanged for a lot of money if he really wanted to sell it, but naturally he wouldn't do that.

After all, that apartment was not only something left by the old man, but it also held many memories of living with Sayu.

Even if some things can physically eliminate traces, they will always be remembered in the heart...

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but feel a little silent when he thought of this. His mood suddenly became dull, so he reached for the remote control and turned on the TV, switching channels at will.

Finally, we stopped on a variety show, and the host was Kanna Hashimoto, who was rated by the Japanese media as a "beautiful girl once in a thousand years."

Kanoko Hasumi, who was washing ingredients at the kitchen island, couldn't help but let out a sigh when she saw the program he was watching.

"Is this Hashimoto Kanna? Kato-kun, do you like her too?"

Because the island is facing the living room, she can see what's on the TV screen.

Faced with this inquiry, Yusuke shook his head in denial and replied casually.

At least from his personal point of view, although the girls in it were very good-looking, they were not stunning to him.

Just by appearance.

The other party is not as cute as Sayu, not as stunning and attractive as Megumi, not as refined as Eiri, not as beautiful as Shiu-senpai...

Kato Yusuke suddenly stopped when he thought of this. He immediately turned his eyes to the kitchen and called Hasumi-sensei.

The other party raised his head again and said, "What's wrong? Kato-kun."

"What did you say about Senior Shiyu at school?"

"About this..."

Hasashi paused when he saw the movement of Kanoko's hand, thought for a moment and said, "Actually, apart from Kasumigaoka-san, I have other things I want to ask you. Let's talk about it together after we finish cooking."

"……knew."

"Hmm~ Speaking of which, Kato-kun, do you like fish cakes in curry?

"Kamaboko...?"

"That's right~ I still have some unused fish cakes from Ogiwara Foods that I bought before. If you don't mind, I'll add them in."

"…………"

Kato Yusuke was silent for a moment, and then whispered back: "...You just decide."

"Then I'll join in."

"Um."
