Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

After stopping and walking along the way, the two finally returned home.

In the distance, they saw a figure.

Under the orange light, Sayuri Sawamura was waiting quietly at the door.

Seeing the two of them, the woman couldn't help lowering her eyes softly, her eyes were very gentle.

"Welcome back ~ you two."

"Mother--?"

Yinglili exclaimed: "Why are you here??"

"I wanted to say that it's almost time for you to come back, so I greeted you at the door, but Yinglili..."

Sayuri Sawamura said reproachfully: "You are such a kid, how can you ask Kato-kun to carry you behind your back? You can't bully others like this?"

"Well, that's what he has to carry on his own. I didn't force him..." Ying Lili muttered with a slight blush on her face, refusing to look directly at her mother's face.

"Ah~ is that so? Kato-kun."

After hearing her words, Sayuri Sawamura tilted her head and looked aside with questioning eyes.

"Aunt Sayuri..."

Kato Yusuke nodded slightly in greeting, and when he was about to explain Eiriri's foot injury, the other party spoke before him.

"Mom, where are Shinjou-san and the others?"

"The two children went to take a bath."

"That's it, then I'll go find them."

The person involved jumped off Kato Yusuke's back as he spoke, and walked hurriedly towards the house. After taking two steps, he suddenly froze in place.

Two or three seconds passed.

She dragged her left foot that seemed to be inconvenient, limped inside, and quickly slipped into the house.

"..."

When Kato Yusuke saw this scene, he curled his lips in anger and amusement, and finally lowered his shoulders feebly.

Obviously, he was completely deceived by the other party.

Not to mention that the flying look was completely different from before. Even the owner seemed to have forgotten that it was his right foot that should have been twisted.

As for whether this series of things was a temporary act or deliberate... He couldn't say yet.

Suddenly, the smell of elegant perfume entered his nose.

"Sorry, Kato-kun."

Sayuri Sawamura stood up on her tiptoes slightly and reached out to help him sweep away some fallen snow on his head and shoulders.

"Thank you for your hard work. I will talk to that child carefully later and tell her not to cause trouble to you like this."

Facing the other party's remarks and intimate actions, Kato Yusuke felt very uncomfortable, so he stepped back half a step to avoid leaving any trace.

"...You are serious, I don't think Yinglili has caused any trouble to me."

"Eh~ She obviously asked you to carry her?"

"That was an unexpected situation..."

"Is that so? My daughter is very young, right?"

"What?"

"Speaking of which, it seems that this is not the first time you have carried Yinglili on your back. In addition, you also gave her a princess hug before..."

Sayuri Sawamura pretended to be distressed and held her chin with one hand.

"Ah, this is a bit troublesome. Will you take your responsibility~~?"

"...Are you kidding me?"

Kato Yusuke asked uncertainly, trying to determine how true her words were, but the other party just laughed and said nothing.

"..."

He pursed his lips unconsciously, preparing to say something, but...

"So, Kato-kun."

The person in front of me suddenly asked again: "Did something happen to the child? Her condition seems to be different from before you went out~"

"...?"

Although he didn't understand why the other party suddenly changed the topic, Kato Yusuke still answered truthfully.

"If I have to say... we just went to the elementary school below, I think it has something to do with it."

"The elementary school below...eh——?"

Sayuri Sawamura was startled at first, and then immediately asked: "Are you talking about Shimamura Elementary School?"

"Um."

"Yinglili took you there??"

"Um."

"Is that so...that child took you there..."

Sayuri Sawamura blinked in surprise, lowered her face and whispered.

Before Kato Yusuke could think carefully about the meaning behind this abnormal reaction...

"I said, Kato-kun."

Without warning, the other party suddenly stepped forward and walked in front of him, looking up at him with a pair of radiant purple eyes.

"Sure enough, you can call me mom from today on, just think of it as a practice in advance~~~"

"——What exercises are you talking about?!?!"

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but feel a little crazy. He wanted to step back, but the other party held his clothes tightly and wouldn't let go.

Mother and daughter are exactly the same when it comes to their habit of grabbing clothes.

"Be good, be good, you don't have to be embarrassed. I will also say hello to Sister Mina. Anyway, just leave everything to mom~~~!"

“If this is a joke, can you please stop it——??”

"Oh, oh, what does it matter~~~"

Sayuri Sawamura said with a smile: "Mom also wants to become closer to Kato-kun. Like cooking you delicious food, preparing lunches, helping you rub your back...all kinds of things~"

"I'm really sorry! But I really don't understand what you are talking about-!!"

Just as the two of them were tugging at each other...

"Mom, what are you doing-?"

Yinglili came back again for some unknown reason and looked at them blankly.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Sayuri Sawamura first looked back at her daughter behind her, then at the boy in front of her, and then tilted her head slightly as if to be cute.

"Hey~ Kato-kun, something bad has happened. We seem to have been caught by Eri-ri."

"..."

The corners of Kato Yusuke's mouth twitched and he didn't want to say even half a word.

Sayuri Sawamura frowned and thought hard for a while, and finally seemed to have made some kind of determination, and said resolutely:

"Okay ~ Before Leonard comes here, Kato-kun, please run away and leave the rest to mom..."

"——What on earth are you talking about!"

Yinglili walked up quickly and stood between them.

"Mom, what strange words did you say to Yusuke again?"

"Hey, I just asked him if he wanted to stop chasing his daughter and chase me instead~"

"Oh my God! Not only is this not funny, but it's also hard to react to. Please stop making trouble!!"

"Too much!? Do you have to be so serious!" Sayuri Sawamura showed a hurt expression.

"It's so embarrassing. Who is causing trouble for me now? Come in quickly~"

"Why is this? Kato-kun and I obviously still have a lot to talk about."

"Can't!"

Eiri refused firmly and angrily picked up someone's left arm.

"And Yusuke, you too. If you don't want to be pestered, just refuse! Why force yourself to accompany others?"

Kato Yusuke looked forward and answered the question in a slightly soft voice: "You are talking about..."

Hearing his answer, Sawamura Sayuri frowned slightly unhappily, and hugged his right arm in the same manner, almost leaning her whole body towards him.

"It's too much. You were having such a happy chat with her just now, but now you've changed your mind?"

Through the kimono, the warm body temperature on the chest was vaguely transmitted.

Kato Yusuke's body shook slightly, and his whole body suddenly became stiff.

"Mom, don't get so close to Yusuke——!"

Yinglili shouted and hugged his left arm hard.

"Look! Yusuke is having a hard time. He is very gentle and doesn't know how to refuse you. Don't make too many demands on him."

"Ah! We were in a good atmosphere just now, so you were the one who came to disturb us, right?"

Sayuri Sawamura teased: "Besides, even if Kato-kun is troublesome, is it still a trouble for happiness~?"

Kato Yusuke was squeezed between the mother and daughter, feeling mixed.

As for the so-called "troubles of happiness", they are pure fiction.

After all, the two are not only very similar in appearance, but also almost identical in body shape.

Question: What do you think about being squeezed between a pair of washboards?

Answer: There was no fluctuation in his heart, and he was even a little panicked.

Apart from complaining about "I'm sorry for A", Kato Yusuke couldn't think of any other description.

"Brother Yu, what are you doing?"

Just when Kato Yusuke was trapped between a pair of rub... two people and couldn't move, the voice of saving him came from inside the house.

——Serizawa Yusei looked at them in astonishment.

It looked like he had just taken a shower, with a natural blush on the client's face and a cream-yellow towel hanging around his neck. The slightly tight home clothes have a round and perky chest, exuding a sexiness that is different from her personality.

Serizawa Yuu happily walked over in slippers, and her beautiful bowl-shaped D cup swayed slightly, attracting attention.

"So are Sawamura-san and Auntie Sawamura. Thank you for lending us your bathroom and clothes. I feel so comfortable when washing~~~!"

""Well……""

Kato Yusuke heard a faint muffled sound coming from both sides, but had no way of knowing what it meant.

And with the arrival of Serizawa Yu, another soft and waxy voice also sounded slowly.

"Wow, it's so cold here! Why did you open the door? Xiao Xi."

Shinjoka was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, holding her arms tightly with both hands as if she was afraid of the cold, and walked over pattering.

Every time she takes a step, a certain part of her body will make a beautiful sound of "Puff~", which is full of weight.

"Ah, Xiaoxiang, you've finished washing too. Why did you come out wearing only short sleeves? Be careful of catching a cold."

"...I can't help it. That outfit is a bit forced for me, so I can only do this - Huh? President, Sawamura-san, and Aunt Sawamura...?"

""Uh-huh...""

To the extent that only Kato Yusuke could hear it, a certain mother and daughter were shaken even more strongly.

The arrival of Shinjoka made Eiri suddenly come back to her senses. She quickly let go of someone and responded to him.

"Sorry, Shinjou-san, the three of us are actually talking about something, so we should close the door now."

Sawamura Sayuri also let go of her hand, her eyes quietly passed over Shinjoka's chest, and said:

"I'm sorry, Shinjou-san, please wait a moment, and I'll find a suitable outfit for you."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head again.

"The same goes for Kato-kun. Don't stand here blowing the wind. Go take a hot bath to warm yourself up."

It looked like Kato Yusuke was out blowing the wind out of his own free will.

"Well, what you said is...I will go now."

Kato Yusuke didn't want to say anything more and hurriedly escaped from this place of right and wrong.

As he left, the four women also moved their positions.

Sayuri Sawamura takes Shinjoka to find clothes.

Eirili brought Serizawa Yu to the living room.

The latter seemed to have walked into the Grand View Garden, looking around curiously and asking various questions from time to time.

Yinglili also took the trouble to answer her one by one.

The two chatted here for a while, and Shinjoka, who had changed into a brand new home clothes, ran over to join them.

The three girls were watching TV programs and eating snacks bought from the convenience store, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Suddenly, Shintiaoxiang received a New Year congratulations message on her phone.

Her expression changed slightly as a result. After apologizing to the two of them, she sat alone on the single sofa nearby and concentrated on replying to the message.

Eiri and Serizawa saw that she was busy with something, so they didn't hesitate to ask for details.

But soon, even Yinglili had to pick up her phone and start replying to blessing messages from her friends.

Serizawa Yu looked left and right, her shoulders drooping in frustration, and finally couldn't help but run to Shinjoka.

"Xiaoxiang, who are you messaging?"

She said and secretly glanced at the screen, and then the other party pinched her cheek with two fingers.

"it hurts……!"

"Tell me, why are you peeking at my phone?"

Shinjoka pinched her face with a smile, and there was a faint threat in her tone that only she could hear.

"...Because, Xiaoxiang, you rarely send messages to people, and at this time, people will inevitably be a little curious...I know I'm wrong, please stop pinching me..."

"I'm just chatting with my friends. Most of it is private and you don't need to know."

"Yes...I understand."

Serizawa Yu agreed dejectedly, holding her cheek and massaging it gently, while whispering a lie in her heart.

Although Shinjoka was quick to hide her phone, she still caught a glimpse of a name on the chat interface.

"Miss S"

As a roommate who lived with him day and night, this was the first time she had seen this name, and she had never heard the person mentioned anything related to it before, which really made her extremely curious.

At this moment, Kato Yusuke just came back from taking a shower.

Not only that, he also brought three thick red envelopes and gave them to them in the name of lucky money.

The girls were at a loss at first, but in the end they were persuaded by him using customary reasons to accept him.

Yinglili hesitated for a while while holding the red envelope, then called him to her room alone and gave him a bag.

"Well... although it's a bit late, this is a gift for you for Christmas and for winning the competition. Now it's probably a New Year's gift. Just take it...!"

"..."

Kato Yusuke glanced at her and did not refuse. He silently untied the golden bow and looked inside the bag.

"Is this...a yukata?"

What was placed inside was a black yukata with hexagonal snowflakes printed on it.

Yingli nodded and said nonchalantly:

"I accidentally discovered this when my mother and I were shopping. I think it suits you very well, so you can wear it during spring and summer festivals..."

"Spring Festival and Summer Festival..."

Kato Yusuke repeated her words and asked, "So, are you inviting me to come with you?"

"Say it first!"

Yinglili raised the index finger of her right hand vigorously, and emphasized in a thoughtful manner:

"...Even if you want to go with someone else, you must first let me see you wearing this yukata! Absolutely!"

"...I let you see it but didn't invite you, wouldn't you cry if you did that... Puff——"

The girl gave him a straight punch in the stomach.

"Now that you know, don't leave me! I also want to go to the festival with you..."

Ying Lili lowered her head and said weakly:

"Although we visited a mock store at the cultural festival last time, it was still too crude. I want to watch the fireworks with you this year...can't you...?"

Hearing these words, Kato Yusuke suddenly recalled the summer before, and said with nostalgia and a little bitterness: "I know, I promise you, thank you for your gift."

"It doesn't matter……"

The girl slowly raised her head and looked at him with a pair of moist eyes, "Besides... I shouldn't be the only girl who gave you a gift, right?"

Kato Yusuke smiled wryly, touched his nose and nodded, "...Thanks to everyone's consideration, everyone in the studio gave me gifts."

"I knew...he was a nuisance."

"Don't you ask me what I received?"

"I'm not interested in knowing that kind of thing!"

As Eirili said, she put her head on his chest and added, "Anyway, I just need to do my best to face Yusuke. It has nothing to do with other girls."

There was no confusion in her voice.

It was like declaring war on him, but also like swearing to myself.

"..."

Kato Yusuke was silent for a while, and then took out a packaging bag from his pocket that he had prepared before but never handed over.

"...So, in return for Christmas and New Year, would you like to accept this?"

"--Eh?"

Yinglili looked up blankly at the paper bag in his hand, and then grabbed it after being stunned for a second.

He didn't even need to open his mouth, he could just get down and unpack the package and pour out the contents.

"Is this... a hair accessory?"

It was a pair of black bow headdresses, with a Chanel classic camellia hanging in the middle, and a small double C pendant hanging below.

"Oh, yes."

Kato Yusuke pretended to be relaxed and explained: "Because you always tie your hair, I thought this might be more practical for you, so I bought it."

Yinglili stared at the hair accessory in her hand without saying a word, and then muttered a curse under her breath.

"Scumbag...!"

…

When they returned to the living room again, Serizawa Yuu had fallen asleep leaning on Shinjo incense.

Looking at the time, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

Normally, the girl would have fallen asleep by now. It is rare for her to persist until now.

Without waking the other party up, Kato Yusuke gently carried Xiao Xi back to the arranged guest room.

After that, Shinjoka and Eiri also went back to their rooms to rest.

On this uneventful snowy night.

The boys and girls listened to the sound of snow falling and fell asleep with their own thoughts in mind.

The old year has passed like this.

…
