Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

After all, Kato Yusuke still carried Hasumi Kanoko for a distance and put her down some distance away from the fishing spot downstream.

Then he pretended to be normal and kept a certain distance.

Even so, Hasumi Kanoko enjoyed it very much.

When we arrived downstream, the number of students who were there an hour ago was now much smaller. It was unclear whether they had returned to the camp or changed to a new fishing spot.

Seeing them, some extroverted students waved and said hello, and the more enthusiastic ones even ran up to talk to them.

Hasumi Kanoko, who has entered the role of teacher, is very responsive and responds to every student's topic cordially.

It's not a deliberately pretentious acting or mask, it's also due to my sense of responsibility for my work and my original personality.

Just like Sawamura Eri's beauty, Kasumigaoka Shiu's repulsiveness, and Kato Megumi's approachability.

The beautiful teacher Kanoko Hasumi's good temper is also well-known in the school.

As for Kato Yusuke, there is basically nothing to say. His situation is already considered the pinnacle of the students in the school. He is someone else's child who is talked about by parents as a template for talking about education.

Some people admire him, some like him, some hate him...but no one will ignore him.

If we describe him according to the theory of campus caste, he has broken away from the simple categories of "First Army" and "Second Army" and has almost reached the ultimate level of a student.

Excellent in civil and military skills, versatile in sports.

Take the fantastic reversal of the basket, the championship title of the national high school competition, the academic performance of the first grade, and the gossip news that has been circulating secretly recently...

If youth is an inspirational history, maybe someone will use him as a model to write a special book.

Under such circumstances, the two returned to the outdoor cooking area and walked towards their respective classes.

Brother Mangzhu came back earlier than him and was squatting on the ground talking to Himekawa Yoshiko.

Kato Yusuke raised his feet and walked up.

There was a bamboo dustpan in front of the three people, which contained a lot of ingredients.

As he got closer, the content of the conversation came into his ears.

"Let's take a look. These are shiitake mushrooms, maitake mushrooms, slippery mushrooms, wetland mushrooms, and fungus... Seriously, are you looking for too many mushrooms?"

“What a shame, aren’t there radishes and wild vegetables here!?”

"Hey~~~Then tell me, what kind of cooking can you make with just these?"

"Who knows! Besides, that's something that your cooking team only has to consider, right??"

"As far as I'm concerned, as long as it has meat, it's fine! Axiao, Jiazi."

""That's not the problem! ""

When Yamaguchi and Yoshiko were complaining about Takei, Kato Yusuke spoke up.

"With the existing ingredients, we should be able to make mushroom hot pot."

""Kato! ! ""

"Kato-san!"

The three people turned their faces one after another, and then noticed the metal bucket in his hand and the fish that were so full that they were about to fall out.

"""--many fish!?"""

"Wow, are you too fierce?" Yamaguchi Takashi couldn't help but clicked his tongue.

"Ohhhhh! Meat-!!" Takei clenched his fists and shouted in celebration.

"Wait a minute, that's a fish, Takei-san." Yoshiko complained with a wry smile, and then asked in surprise.

"Did you catch all of these? Kato-san."

"No, I just happened to find a good place, and Hasumi-sensei also helped a lot." Kato Yusuke explained calmly, summarizing the encounter with Hasumi Kanoko as accidental.

Not surprisingly, the three of them were surprised by his catch.

Looking at the team of Class F in the first year, the situation is similar, even worse. At this time, Hasumi Kanoko has been surrounded by students excitedly.

The two met their eyes at one moment and separated the next.

After discussion, they decided not to hide the fact of their encounter.

After all, the two of them went in the same direction when fishing, and both brought back so many harvests. It would be a stretch to say that they did not see each other.

So instead of being secretive and arousing suspicion, it is better to admit it openly and just hide the key parts.

At this time, Yamaguchi continued to ask: "About how many fish are there in here? Kato."

"I haven't counted too many, it's probably more than twenty."

"In other words, if others bring back a little more, can everyone basically get one?"

"Great--!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Kato-san~! In addition, Yamaguchi-san and Takei-san, please take these ingredients to the management office for confirmation, and then you can prepare lunch."

When Kako said this, Yamaguchi couldn't help but complain: "Really, you are really good at commanding people."

"That's not what I wanted to do. It was obviously the teacher who asked the administrator to check whether it is toxic!"

"Ah, I got it, I got it, let's go, Takei!"

"OK!"

After finishing speaking, the Shangghu brothers left together.

Kato Yusuke helped send the fish to the food processing team, and then returned to the cabin and changed into light sportswear.

When we returned to the outdoor cooking area, most of the students collecting ingredients had returned.

The logistics team took the inspected ingredients to the stream for cleaning.

The cooking team received kitchen knives, cutting boards, spoons, metal lunch boxes and other kitchen utensils from the teacher.

In the space area, the students responsible for lighting the fire also received charcoal, igniters, and cultural fire sticks from the teacher to prepare for the fire.

Kato Yusuke observed it and then walked towards a certain location.

"what are you doing here?"

"——!"

As if she was startled, the petite girl's shoulders trembled involuntarily, then she turned her head and said angrily:

"Don't suddenly appear behind others! Besides, you can figure out what I'm doing right?"

"I mean, how did you get the job of lighting the fire?"

"I chose it myself. After all, I don't know how to cook, nor am I good at anything else. This is the only thing I can do."

"Can you do that? Make a fire."

"Well, I've watched the teacher's demonstration carefully, so I think there's no problem." Yingli nodded her head gently, as if to cheer herself up.

Kato Yusuke squatted down next to her, preparing to take care of her.

Perhaps seeing his plan, Yinglili glanced at him, then put on her work gloves and started to prepare.

Insert the blackened metal rack into the soil on both sides of the fire, and set up poles on it to use as a support for hanging the metal lunch box later.

"It needs to be buried firmly here, otherwise there is a risk of toppling." Kato Yusuke said, reaching out his hand, inserting the two metal frames deeper into the soil again, and tamping the ground.

"..."

Ying Lili pursed her lips slightly and watched the scene quietly without speaking.

After he gets out of the way, start stacking the charcoal one by one under the bracket like building blocks, and then insert the cultural fire stick accelerant into the gaps between the charcoal.

When he was about to light the fire, Kato Yusuke spoke again.

"Don't worry yet. Don't stack the charcoal like this, otherwise it will burn very slowly and be difficult to ignite."

"…What should we do?"

"Just put the fire stick in the center and place the charcoal around it."

"But if you put the charcoal directly on top of the accelerant, it will be easier for it to come into contact with the fire, right?"

"No, it's better to leave some space between the charcoal so air can get in and out more easily."

Kato Yusuke stretched out a hand and rearranged the charcoal and cultural fire sticks while explaining patiently.

Since I was not wearing gloves, my left hand that came into contact with the charcoal quickly became dirty and stained black.

Yinglili frowned instinctively when she saw this, and said hurriedly: "Wait a minute! Why did you grab it directly? At least put on gloves..."

"I'll wash my hands later. Okay, anyway, it's like this, now you can light the fire." Kato Yusuke stepped aside and motioned for her to start lighting the fire.

Yinglili stared at his hand for a while, then took out the fire starter and moved towards the cultural fire stick.

"Don't be nervous, but be careful."

"Hey, Luosuo...I still know this."

Snap, orange and blue flames burst out from the igniter, igniting the cultural fire stick.

Kato Yusuke casually picked up a branch, stirred the charcoal, and stacked new charcoal on it.

Soon the charcoal made a drying sound.

He put down the branch, picked up the fan, and fanned the fire like a grilled eel, letting the flames spread to the charcoal.

"Okay, so awesome——!" The girl next to her couldn't help but said, with joy blooming on her face.

Kato Yusuke relaxed his lips slightly and affirmed with a smile: "Although it's just making a fire, you did a great job, Eiriri."

Yinglili's face turned slightly red, and she coughed a few times to get over it. At the same time, she glanced over at him and muttered in a low voice: "What, it's so weird..."

"What's weird?"

"I said you look very strange. Why are you so skilled at making fire?"

"Ah, you are talking about this."

Kato Yusuke took an internal look at the proficiency-level camping skills he redeemed last time, and then casually explained: "After all, I have experience working in a ramen shop before."

"Huh? What does this have to do with a ramen shop?"

"Because I work in the kitchen, I will encounter situations where I need to light a fire."

Ying Lili tilted her head, vaguely feeling that something was not right, but she couldn't put her finger on it. Finally, she nodded in understanding and reluctantly accepted this statement.

Her gaze naturally downwards fell on the black hand resting on her knee.

"...Hey, hold out your hand."

"What did you say?"

"I asked you to stretch out your hands. How can you make them so dirty for people to see?"

Under Kato Yusuke's puzzled gaze, the girl who took off her work gloves just grabbed his left hand and wiped it carefully with a wet wipe.

The sound of gurgling water brings cool wind, and the sunlight shining through the leaves is very comfortable.

The small hands are very soft and a little cold. Pressing her slender fingertips on the palm of his hand, she wiped away the dirt bit by bit with a wet wipe.

While wiping it, I complained that you were so dirty, and my delicate little face was full of disgust.

Looking at Eiri like this, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but smile, the expression on his face became gentle, and finally he patted her head after his hands became clean.

"Thank you, Yinglili."

"Don't touch me! At least wash your hands first..."

Ying Lili looked up at his hand with boredom, but she didn't mean to avoid it. She just stayed in place and gently clenched the hand on her knee.

"Are you still feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

"It has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Teaching outside the school, it would be nice to have fun."

"That, that kind of thing, I know even if you don't say it..."

The voice was a little unclear.

Kato Yusuke raised his fan again, blowing the wind.

The dark charcoal gradually turned red, and the crackling sparks jumped excitedly.

After a while.

"Eh... Yusuke..."

"What's up?"

"Tomorrow, you're going to help build a bonfire, right?"

"Ah, that's right."

"Then, at the end, there should be folk dance?"

His voice trembled slightly unnaturally.

"No, it should be a barbecue party, right? But there will probably be people dancing spontaneously, so forget it. Do you want to join?"

"No!" - Yinglili instinctively wanted to retort, but then she fell silent and lowered her head.

Then, a soft whisper sounded like a whisper.

"Such as, if we dance at the end... we must, we must, we must, we must, one... together!"

She paused here, took a deep breath, and then said this in one breath:

"——We want to come together! Eat a lot of delicious barbecue!?"

Kato Yusuke turned his face, frowned slightly, weighed it and said, "...Although it's not impossible, I still need to eat more vegetables to supplement nutrition."

"No, I -"

"President, Sawamura-kun~!"

At this time, Shinjoka came over with two paper cups.

"Thank you for your hard work~ How about a drink?"

As the paper cup was handed to her, Yinglili lost the opportunity to speak and just reluctantly said thank you.

"…………Thanks."

"Don't be polite to me~" Shinjoka responded with a smile and continued.

"You built a beautiful fire, Sawamura-san. Can you put the lunch box on it and cook?"

"Eh? Ah, um... okay."

After receiving Eiri's approval, Shinjoka ran to get the lunch box and came back, hanging it on the stand above the fire one after another.

After feeling that there was no need for his help, Kato Yusuke walked to the bench near the cooking area and sat down leisurely like an old man.

Take out your phone.

I would like to express my gratitude and greetings to Mr. Yoshida who sent me the photo of Xiao Hei.

After chatting briefly for a while.

Kato Yusuke didn't want to idle around here, so he got up again and went to the cooking area to help.

Perhaps his previous opinions were adopted, and the students in the cooking team started making hot pot-type food.

Fish, wild vegetables, radishes, various kinds of mushrooms and fungus, all kinds of ingredients are added one after another into a big pot.

Hui, wearing a plain apron, stood in front of the pot, adding various seasonings to the pot from time to time. The calm and indifferent temperament exuding from her body was very touching.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let me help stir it."

"Well~ I'll trouble you then."

Kato Yusuke said hello in a natural tone, and Megumi responded as usual, moving a little to the side to give him some space.

He casually picked up the long-handled wooden shovel placed aside, inserted it into the soup pot, and then began to stir slowly like a witch boiling poison.

There was a lot of smoke rising all around, and the smell of charcoal fire wafted in the air.

In the atmosphere of working together, time flies by.
