Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

Seventy-one, the girl sitting in the back seat

Takei's words not only disrupted Yamaguchi's thoughts, but even Kato Yusuke was attracted to him.

"Hey, you idiot Takei, stop shouting suddenly on the street!"

"But! This is the chainsaw man! It says it will be a five-serial series starting from the next issue!

"Takei said as he excitedly showed the two of them the last page of this issue of "Shounen Undead".

On the last page of Chapter 3 of "Chainsaw Man", there is indeed official news that a supplement will be released starting from the next issue.

Yamaguchi was startled when he saw this, but then he became interested and immediately fell into Takei's arms.

"What! It's actually five series!? Doesn't this mean..."

"Yes, yes!"

"Are you thinking the same thing? Takei!"

"I'm thinking about it!"

The Mangkhut brothers who were holding magazines looked at each other and shouted in unison:

More, Miss Makima——!

! ""

"Alas--!"

"Great--!"

The two men held each other's hands sympathetically, showing male friendship.

Kato Yusuke silently turned around and looked around aimlessly, his eyes finally falling on a store with fashionable decoration.

It was a shop that sold bicycles. The brightly colored bicycles hung in the transparent windows were very eye-catching.

"It's about time you bought a car, right?" - Benisaka Akane's sarcasm suddenly came to mind.

He glanced at the two people who were excitedly discussing comics, and then looked at the two girls who were still shopping in the drug store.

Kato Yusuke walked alone, crossed the street, and stepped into the store opposite.

…

It took about fifteen minutes.

He walked into the store empty-handed, and when he left the store, there was a camouflage green mountain bike beside him.

Cross the road again.

In front of the convenience store, Kako and Megumi were already standing there.

Himekawa Yoshiko, who was wearing uniform, had her hands on her hips and was talking to Brother Sanzhu, who had his head drooped.

Hui stood quietly beside her, fiddling with her cell phone as if preparing to make a call.

Kato Yusuke pushed the car and walked up slowly.

"Have you finished shopping?"

"Ah! It's Kato! And he's pushing a bicycle!" Takei, who was the first to spot him, shouted loudly.

"What!?"

"Kato-san??"

"...?"

Yamaguchi, Yoshiko, and Hui also looked at each other in unison.

"You guy! Where did you go? You didn't even say hello!"

"You're finally back~~~Jiazi trained us until we were miserable!

"I'm not that cruel! Besides, I didn't even notice my friend disappearing from me, which is very problematic in itself!"

Yamaguchi rushed forward angrily, followed closely by Takei and Yoshiko, and the three formed a circle, surrounding Yusuke directly in the middle.

Kato Yusuke apologized, parked his bicycle, and responded: "I saw that you were all busy, so I went to the store opposite for a while."

"Have you taken a walk?"

The three people who calmed down lowered their gazes at the same time and looked at the mountain bike.

Camouflage exterior paint, high-carbon steel body with a dull metallic luster, Shimano chain, integrated lock, transmission, and shock absorber.

Lights, pedals, fenders, rear seats, rocket launchers, all kinds of accessories are available, and everything is brand new.

The three of them were surprised to find that this was actually a new car.

Takei: "Well, so handsome!"

Yamaguchi: "Uh-oh! What's going on? Are you renting this?"

Yoshiko: "Eh? Kato-san bought a bicycle? Why? It's so sudden!"

Kato Yusuke pondered for a moment: "Cycling can help you exercise, and commuting during rush hours is more convenient than taking a train."

"Hahaha, you actually bought a mountain bike while buying outdoor supplies. Kato, you are so weird." Takei laughed after hearing this explanation.

"It's so despicable! You clearly rejected the thing that I was interested in, but you bought such a handsome thing without saying a word. Okay! Takei, let's ride it together!"

“Agree—!

! "

At Yamaguchi's suggestion, the two got on the mountain bike one after another and began to ride crookedly.

"Yah!" As if he didn't feel satisfied, Takei stood up from the rocket launcher installed in the center of the rear wheel.

"Idiot! It's forbidden to take people on bikes!" Kako put her hands to her mouth like a loudspeaker. After speaking, she lowered her shoulders feebly and cursed the two idiots.

Laughing and laughing, Yamaguchi's voice floated over from not far away.

"——You can't get married if you keep chattering like this, Kako!"

"I'm so angry, stop now, I'm going to kill you!"

After playing around for a while.

The five people gathered in front of the convenience store again.

Kato Yusuke was thinking about going home to catch up on the manuscript, so he cut off Takei's suggestion of "Why don't we all eat ramen together?" and directly said goodbye, which resulted in two complaints.

"So direct! You said it even though I haven't finished speaking yet!?"

"Takei, he's almost crying, isn't he? Kato."

"Sorry, maybe next time, I still have work to do at home." Kato Yusuke apologized, and then got on the bicycle seat.

Kako's eyes were twitching, and she suddenly said: "Are you going to go back by bicycle? Kato-san."

"Um."

"That's it~ Can I leave the task of sending Xiaohui home to you?"

"……Huh?"

Kei was confused when her name was suddenly called. Before she could react, Kako forcibly pushed her forward and stopped right next to Yusuke.

The two looked at each other, and the girl looked away first.

"Um, Kako...?"

"What does it matter? Xiaohui's house is not far from here anyway. Just ask Kato-san to take you back!"

"That's not the problem, right? You just said that it's forbidden to take people on bikes...?"

"Ah~ ah~ I didn't hear anything. Anyway, you have been excluded from the next trip... That's it, so Xiaomei will ask you to please? Kato-san." Himekawa Yoshiko said openly.

"Even if you say so..." A little trouble appeared on Hui's face, and she followed her gaze and turned her gaze back to Kato Yusuke.

"Come up."

"……Eh?"

"I'll take you back." Kato Yusuke turned the car around and repeated: "Come up."

Seeing this scene, Hui opened her lips slightly, tilted her head and thought for a moment, and asked, "Is this really okay? Even though Kako said that, my home is still quite far away from here, right?"

"Ah~ah~! I'm really worried! Kato-kun said it's okay, but what are you doing? Okay, okay, sit on it quickly~~~!"

Hearing this, Jiazi couldn't help but go crazy. No matter what, he pushed her shoulders and forced her into the back seat.

"Then see you tomorrow ~ Kato-san, Megumi-chan."

Kato Yusuke nodded, while Megumi remained silent, as if a little angry, and then lowered his shoulders as if appointed, reluctantly picking up the uniform jacket behind his shoulders with his fingertips.

That look was so rare that even Yoshiko, a girl, found it a bit cute and her eyes couldn't help but light up.

The Mangkhut brothers who were also lucky enough to see this scene were also a little surprised and couldn't help but secretly exchange a look.

Among all the people present, only Kato Yusuke did not see this scene, but he could feel the weak force on his shoulders, so he said:

"...You're holding it too lightly, which will make your center of gravity unstable. If you're not used to it, you can step on the rocket launcher."

"Well, I'm wearing a skirt, so I really can't sit like that..."

"Then just hold on tight."

"Is this so...?"

The strength behind the shoulder increased so slightly that it was almost unnoticeable.

Kato Yusuke: "..."

Phew, um...

Yamaguchi and Takei couldn't help but cover their mouths to suppress laughter.

Kako took action directly.

"No! Xiaohui, you really are doing this right~!"

She said, taking Megumi's hand and leading it forward without any delay, wrapping it around Yusuke's waist and fixing it tightly.

Kato Yusuke moved his lips slightly, and the hands hugging his waist were more nervous than he imagined.

He hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just whispered to leave, and the girl responded with a soft "hmm".

Under the watchful eyes of the Mangkhut brothers and Jiazi, the mountain bike carrying the two people gradually disappeared into the horizon under the setting sun...

As Himekawa Yoshiko said, the place where Megumi lives is indeed in the Ikebukuro area, and it is indeed some distance from where several people separated.

After confirming the specific street with the girl, Kato Yusuke immersed himself in riding his mountain bike without saying much.

The girl also behaved very quietly. During this period, other than giving him instructions on where he might encounter the police, she also had no desire to communicate.

Perhaps because of the scene that happened yesterday, Kato Yusuke felt a somewhat restrained silence for the first time during his time with Megumi.

I thought that this journey would end in silence, but at a certain moment, the girl suddenly spoke.

"Speaking of which... I always feel like it's a bit heavy, right?"

"Maybe."

"It's so strange. Obviously we have been together without talking before, but today, it seems like this is the first time."

"Feel the same."

"...? Well, although this may be my imagination, it's not necessarily true, but is Yusuke blaming me?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Ah, well, if you want to say it, I have hindered you and Kasumigaoka-senpai... I am aware of this for the time being."

Before the awkward atmosphere spread, Kato Yusuke casually answered: "It doesn't matter, but I didn't expect you to ask such a direct question right away."

"Huh? Does this mean that I am evil-minded...?"

Hui clasped her hands slightly tighter and poked her head out slightly to peek at his expression.

Such movements made Yusuke feel a little itchy in his waist, but he didn't show it. He just continued to look ahead and ride the mountain bike at a constant speed.

"Not really."

"Fundamentally, it's actually Yusuke who thinks things are too complicated."

"what are you saying?"

"...Even if you are dating Kasumigaoka-senpai, there is no need to care about me? After all, she is beautiful and has a good figure. She is particularly attractive as a royal sister, so it doesn't matter. I don't care at all, right?"

——Clang, clang, clang.

The Toden Arakawa Line tram passed by the two of them, and the sound it made drowned out the voices for a moment, and then gradually faded away after a while.

Kato Yusuke turned his face slightly and asked: "I'm sorry, what did you just say?"

"Ah~ ah~ it's nothing, the unresponsive hero." Megumi complained in a slightly positive tone.

"You seem to often use two-dimensional words in your recent speeches."

"Ah, after all, our student union is full of creators, including manga artists, light novel authors, and doujinshi artists. Only Shinjou-san and I are more ordinary, right?"

"I don't think you are ordinary, and you have changed a lot since joining the student union."

"...You obviously didn't remember my name or face at the beginning."

After being reminded like this, Yusuke also remembered what happened back then, and the expression on his face softened slightly.

"...At that time, it seemed that I was called to give a lecture by Mr. Nakamura."

"Well, that's right, all kinds of things happened."

Hui affirmed first, and then changed her words, "But, it's because you are always leading me forward that I will change, so thank you."

"No, just don't blame me for getting you involved in many things."

The wheels of the mountain bike squeaked.

The setting dusk in the west dyed the slender gauze-like clouds red, dotting the sky lightly.

As if remembering something, Hui suddenly said: "Ah, speaking of which, I went to Yinglili's house yesterday because I was delivering schoolbags. How should I put it? It's such an amazing place."

"Send a schoolbag?" Kato Yusuke turned his face slightly and asked.

"Hmm~ It's Ying Lili's schoolbag. She forgot it at the student union when she left yesterday."

"Is that so?"

"That's right, but on the other hand, Eiriri is still very angry with Yusuke. Have you talked to her?"

"No."

"Well, I guess so, Yusuke won't care about this, right?"

The words that seemed to have meaning made Kato Yusuke frown slightly and thought: "Eiriri is still young. Now she just feels that her things have been taken away. It will be better after a while."

"Hey~ So that's what you think. It's really great, "brother." "

"What's the point of complaining now?"

"Because, who told you to act like the leading actor in the harem?

"What's the meaning?"

"I don't know either~~~"

After riding for half an hour, the two arrived in front of an independent one-family building.

Kato Yusuke stopped the mountain bike with a creak and said, "We're here."

"Well, thank you for sending me back, Yusuke."

After grabbing her things, Hui gently jumped out of the back seat, put her shoulder bag back on her shoulders, and then turned around.

"Then, shall I go back?"

Kato Yusuke nodded, thought for a moment and said, "See you tomorrow, Megumi."

"Well, that's it, bye, Yusuke." Kei waved goodbye gently, and then walked towards the house with the house number "Kato" written on it.
