Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

Kato Yusuke slowly spent time observing each classroom in the teaching building one by one.

Promotional posters are plastered all over the corridor walls. The steps of the stairs are made of twelve independent long strips of stickers, spliced ​​into a huge printed poster.

Only when you stand downstairs and look up slightly can you see the overall effect of the poster. The design is very good.

In addition, the front door of each class is also decorated in a unique way. For example, there are octopus arches made of cardboard, giant whales made of countless balloons, and stickers that mimic sea water stuck on the ground.

Along the way, the strange sights make you feel like you are in some kind of art space, or a colorful dreamland.

When he reached the door of Class A's classroom in Grade 3, Kato Yusuke stopped. According to the application information submitted in advance, this class is a simulation shop for making handmade bath balls.

There is a huge billboard made of cardboard at the front of the classroom. There is drawing paper on the billboard, which depicts two little yellow ducks taking a bath in the bathtub, surrounded by countless colorful bubbles.

Compared with the compact layout of their class, the seating arrangement of this class is extremely spacious. According to the L shape, the seats are arranged in two rows on the window and wall sides.

The clerks sit on the inside, and the empty chairs on the outside are for customers. There are many props like chemical instruments on the table, which looks quite like a laboratory, which is very interesting.

It was just after noon, and there were not too many people in the classroom. There were only a few students on duty at the moment, receiving a few guests.

Kato Yusuke took a moment to observe. As a result, he happened to meet the eyes of a certain girl.

After being stunned for a moment, Ryoko Nakano showed a little surprise, then waved to him with a smile and mouthed something.

Kato Yusuke nodded and smiled back, then strode in. Although he was doing a patrol inspection at this time and originally did not intend to disturb him, since he was discovered by the other party, he had to say hello.

"Good afternoon, Nakano-senpai."

"Good afternoon, Yuu-kun."

"Sorry, did I bother you?"

"No, I have nothing to do now. Where is Yu-kun?"

"I was doing a patrol, and I just happened to arrive at Senior Sister's side."

"On patrol." Nakano Ryoko tilted her head slightly and said,

"Any problems at work?"

"No." Kato Yusuke shook his head in denial.

"At least I haven't found anything yet, everything is peaceful."

"If that's the case..." Nakano Ryoko smiled and picked up the price list on the table.

"Would you like to DIY a beautiful bath ball?"

"Ah?" Kato Yusuke blinked blankly, feeling a little confused for a moment. Such words are written on the cartoon-style hand-drawn price list.

"Thanks to Yu-kun, we have a lot of free time all morning~" Ryoko Nakano joked: "So why don't you support our class's project? I can guide you in it."

"Uh..." Kato Yusuke immediately realized that the other party was talking about his behavior of soliciting customers with autographs in the morning, and his expression couldn't help but become a little embarrassed.

Although their competitive methods were not illegal, they must have had a considerable impact on others.

No, he was being teased in front of his face, and the other person happened to be the senior sister he admired. After figuring out the key, Kato Yusuke smiled bitterly and sat down on the steel chair at Nakano Ryoko's signal.

"Then, please give me six."

"Hey, six...?"

"Well, the total is 4,800 yen, right? Here is the money, senior." Looking at the money that was placed respectfully on the table, the girl did not collect it immediately, but smiled helplessly and sighed. .

"You mean, Yuu-kun?"

"exist."

"Although I want to ask you to support me, there is no need for you to force yourself to buy so many. Or do you like bubble baths, Yuu-kun?"

"...Huh? Sorry, I personally don't have the habit of using this type of product."

"Then what are you...?" Kato Yusuke smiled in surprise: "Actually, I just suddenly thought that girls would like this very much, so I planned to use it as a gift."

"So that's it..." Ryoko Nakano nodded thoughtfully and smiled.

"Is there the girl in there who became your family?"

"Yes, yes. Thanks to the help of senior sister, Xiao Xi has been successfully transferred to my guardian's name, as well as the association matters. Thank you very much." Kato Yusuke said sincerely.

I don’t know if the other party has said hello, but the speed of the government’s work can be called efficiency.

It took almost only one day for Xiao Xi's identity issue to be completely settled. Even the one he applied for passed the review with a green light.

Although only a small non-governmental organization has been registered, it can still be regarded as getting a license from the official side.

"Well, that's good." The girl acted very indifferently, and waved her hand gently and said: "Let's not talk about that girl. Regarding the association that Yu-kun applied for, I didn't expect that the representative would be Hasumi-sensei." Kato Yusuke nodded, lowered his voice and said: "...Actually, the agent of my studio is also Kano-chan. After all, it is more convenient to have an adult for many things."

"Oh?" Ryoko Nakano smiled half-heartedly,

"It can be seen that Yuu-kun really trusts Hasumi-sensei. Do you have a good relationship?"

"...Well, it's pretty good, haha..." Kato Yusuke replied in embarrassment and looked away unconsciously.

"I see, that's why there are six bath balls~?" Ryoko Nakano said leisurely: "One for the girl, one for Shinjo-san, one for Hasumi-sensei, one for Kasumigaoka-san, and one for Kato Kei-san. "...Who is the last one for?" Because someone had explained on Monday, she knew that Shinjoka had taken Xiao Xi in, so it was not difficult to deduce certain things.

The question about Kanoko Hasumi was also confirmed in the conversation a few seconds ago. It goes without saying that Kasumigaoka Shiu is a public girlfriend.

The girl named Megumi Kato has been active since the student council election. ——This passionate boy.

"..." Kato Yusuke touched his nose in embarrassment and replied: "... It's for Eiri. Like Xiao Xi, she is like a younger sister to me."

"That's it." Ryoko Nakano smiled and nodded gently, then put the money on the table into the cash box in a dignified manner.

"So, there are six bath balls in total. Thank you for your patronage." Seeing that she did not delve into the topic, Kato Yusuke breathed a sigh of relief and responded politely.

"Then I'll trouble you, senior sister."

"No~" The girl shook her head and made a gesture of invitation.

"Anyway, please choose the color and scent first."

"Can I choose both?"

"Yes, Yu-kun, you are free to choose the combination you like, and then the next step comes."

"I see." Kato Yusuke looked at the instructions on the table and started thinking. Chamomile, vanilla, cherry blossom, lily, rose, sandalwood, geranium, lavender.

"I'm sorry, I would like to ask, does senior sister have any recommendations?"

"Citrus, vanilla, and lavender are all very popular here, right?"

"Then please give me one of each of these three. As for the colors...just orange, white and purple."

"Is it the original color? I understand, but what about the other three?"

"The other three..." Kato Yusuke thought again, and then said in a deep voice: "Sakura and pink, rose and red, lily and gold, can you give me these three?" Nakano Ryoko's eyes moved slightly, if You said meaningfully: "...As a boy, Youjun understands taste very clearly."

"..." Kato Yusuke scratched his face, not wanting to talk. Ryoko Nakano brought him a pair of disposable gloves and asked him to put them on. Then he found six metal basins and began to mix the materials.

First, put a metal basin on an electronic scale to tare and weigh it, and then add various materials into it in sequence.

Baking soda powder 50g anhydrous citric acid 25g corn starch 25g cold pressed coconut oil 12ml rose essential oil 10 drops of rose petals appropriate amount of red color powder

"So Yu-kun." Like a teacher, Nakano Ryoko handed over a small watering can.

"This is distilled water. Please stir the ingredients in the basin evenly and spray water into it until the powder is slightly moist."

"Okay." Kato Yusuke nodded and agreed, and followed the other party's instructions to move with both hands on the ground.

While Nakano Ryoko observed him, he began to mix other flavors. The materials in the basin are gradually mixed evenly.

From the initial ball of loose sand, it becomes slightly fluffy and moist later, and when it is kneaded vigorously until it can be shaped...

"Hmm~ It's almost ready." The girl took out a transparent ball mold.

"Next, please tamp the material firmly to fill the mold, pay attention to pressing it tightly, and finally close the mold."

"Understood." Yusuke Kato broke the mold into two semicircles and kept adding bath powder inside. The stirred bath powder is a bright red color, exuding a strong rose fragrance. The smell is slightly strong but not pungent, and it smells very good.

‘I wonder if Senior Shiyu will like it. 'Kato Yusuke

He reassembled the two semicircular molds with a click, and then asked, "Is this all right? Senior Nakano."

"Well, put the finished ones over there. Next is the cherry blossom flavor. Please do the same as before."

"I know." The two of them cooperated with each other to make bath balls. The process was really like doing a chemical experiment.

During this period, the number of people in the classroom gradually increased. After all the bath balls were made, Ryoko Nakano found a paper bag and put all the bath balls in it.

"Okay~ That's it. Because the bath ball is still very fragile when it is first made, so remember to be careful about bumping it. By the way, the effect will be better if it is frozen."

"I remember, thank you, senior sister."

"No, then goodbye, Yuu-kun."

"Goodbye, senior." After saying goodbye to each other, Kato Yusuke turned and left the classroom. ◇The inspection work continues.

After that, Kato Yusuke came to the door of the audio-visual classroom. It seems that in order to maintain the circulation of air, the classroom door is not completely closed, but leaves some gaps.

Looking inside through the gap. The dark classroom with closed curtains was as crowded as a school of sardines.

This scene made Kato Yusuke feel a little surprised, so he opened the door and walked in without disturbing anyone.

On the curtain used for projection, the animation "The Savior of Gancheng Brilliant Paradise" is playing. In the picture, Sento Isuzu is holding a musket decorated with ivory and gold, and he is pointing the gun at Kejiang Xiye.

"Oh~~~The skill of drawing a gun under the skirt." The room echoed with the sighs of the gentlemen who were amazed, mixed with a little excitement.

After briefly observing the audience, Kato Yusuke looked towards the studio behind the classroom. What caught his eye was An Yirunya, who was wearing a black suit and a headset, standing behind the projection equipment.

Through a piece of glass, the other party was looking at him with his head tilted, his eyes seemed to be asking questions. Kato Yusuke walked into the brightly lit studio and gently knocked on the door.

"An Yi, your place is full. It's best to hang a full sign outside."

"Signboard? Uh, is this why you came here specifically?"

"No, I'm doing a routine inspection and I just happened to come to your side." Hearing this, An Yilun, who was originally a little nervous, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

"What? It turns out it was just a trivial matter. I thought I was disliked by the people in the sports club, so I went to complain to the student union."

"Complain?" Kato Yusuke sat down on the round stool next to him.

"Did something happen between you and the people in the sports club?"

"——Nothing." An Yilun waved his hand without wanting to mention it.

"At best, there is a natural incompatibility between otakus and sports characters, and they may not even be happy with my animation screenings." As if he was worried about something, he turned around nervously.

"Just in case, let me say it first, Kato. I strictly abide by the school's regulations here, including the animations shown, which have obtained permission from the publisher in advance, and there are no violations. You can't favor sports. Those guys from the club, are you going to stop my anime marathon appreciation party?" Yusuke Kato was observing the audience outside and looking at him with his peripheral vision.

"...Although I didn't have that idea originally, you are really well prepared."

"Of course." An Yilun also puffed up his chest proudly.

"After all, I spent so much time and effort preparing so that everyone can enjoy interesting works from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. Although those works are all based on my personal recommendations and will be interspersed with my annoying comments during the intermission Commentary, but that’s what makes it interesting, isn’t it——!”

"...Let's not talk about other things, at least your popularity here is indeed pretty good." Kato Yusuke commented pertinently.

"Right, right~?" An Yilun also said happily: "Personally, the animation screening is definitely the most interesting event at the entire cultural festival, even more exciting than the folk dance at the evening festival. Looking forward to it! Although that guy Kihiko seems to be still looking forward to being asked to dance at the night festival, saying what this means in our school... That kind of worry is completely unnecessary for otakus!" He couldn't stand listening to his chatter. , Kato Yusuke had to speak and get to the point.

"Speaking of which, An Yi, I have something to tell you."

"Huh? What's the matter?" An email was sent to An Yilunye's mobile phone.

"In the email I just sent you, there is the email address of the person who will be responsible for game programming with you in the future. If you have anything, learn from him."

"——Eh?" An Yilun's excited expression couldn't help but froze, and it took him three seconds to react.

"Wait, wait, wait! Kato, what do you mean?"

"It means literally." Kato Yusuke explained calmly: "The other person is a newly hired member of our studio. He has rich experience in program development and can guide you. However, he is still going through the resignation procedures at his original company. , so you should contact me via email first.”

"No, why do you need to hire that kind of professional? Didn't we agree that I would do the programming part?"

"Not only in terms of programming, but also in terms of art, new people will join in the future. This is a normal demand of the studio."

"Is that so? I always feel suspicious..." An Yilun also looked at him doubtfully,

"Don't you trust me? Kato." There was a brief silence. Kato Yusuke coughed lightly: "...Anyway, that's it. I'm here to inform you about this."

"Hey! Did you just avoid looking away? And you also avoided my question, right? Kato." An Yilun also raised his voice and asked.

"I have some work to do, so I'll leave first. Remember to make a sign and put it at the door."

"Damn it, Kato! You are really avoiding my question, aren't you? I will definitely write beautiful code for you to see later, just wait for me! Kato."

"It's good that you have such energy, so I'll look forward to it for now, come on." Ignoring Toshiya Aki, who was so angry that he jumped on the spot, Yusuke Kato picked up the paper bag containing the bath balls and simply left the audio-visual classroom .

...After inspecting the teaching building. He checked the projects and stalls in the activity building, atrium, playground, and school gate one after another.

If you want to describe it in one sentence, it would be that there are no big problems, but there are constant small problems. For those projects and stalls with problems, Kato Yusuke also made rectification suggestions one by one according to the situation.

Those in charge also accepted it humbly, but no one dared to contradict it. There was basically nothing to say about the process.

After all, today is different from the past. As he gained more and more aura, his personal prestige in the school also increased.

No matter how people evaluate him in their hearts, at least no one will oppose him in public.

After successfully completing the work, time came to the end of the day. Kato Yusuke took out his phone and took a look.

Aunt Mina, Xiao Xi, Sayuri, Xiao Kano... Many people said they would come to visit tomorrow and the day after.

There was a warmth in his heart, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips. Unconsciously, he was surrounded by people who cared about him.

As if not to let loneliness take advantage, a message from line suddenly popped up. [Megumi: Hey, turn around and look at our class now~] Kato Yusuke turned to face the teaching building in confusion and looked towards the classroom.

The girl was standing by the window, holding her mobile phone in front of her face. [Hui: I caught you~] Looking at himself being secretly photographed on the screen, the young man couldn't help but smile, and then began to type a line of text and reply.

[Kato Yusuke: Well, you caught me. 】Some knots in my heart finally began to dissipate. …
