Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

On the other side, Sayu was still staring at the phone screen.

"Happy New Year ~ Miss S."

On the LINE messaging software, the chat history is still 30 minutes old.

The cold white light reflected on the screen illuminated her face. She was obviously tired but still not sleepy, leaving behind all kinds of sadness.

She tapped the screen repeatedly, typing out long and short sentences, and after a while deleted them word by word, but she couldn't send them.

She had been repeating this process since she had dinner with her family, watched the Red and White Song Concert, and returned to her room.

The dark room was shrouded in silence. Only the north wind outside made the windows rattle, playing a lonely and profound tone.

With the extremely long time, sighs naturally flowed out.

"Yusuke..."

She murmured and put the phone aside, feeling a twinge of pain in her heart.

Click, click, click

The small round beads rustled softly inside the pendant.

Sayu held the cinnabar bottle on her chest and stared blankly at the ceiling in the darkness.

Until the end, she still didn't have the courage to ask about that person. All she needed was a simple greeting, but she could only let the sand of time slip through her fingers.

"After all, do I still have the qualifications..."

After saying the words, my mood became even more depressed.

The little run away from home ended a few days ago.

The man refused to accept her.

Even though she didn't want to admit it, she understood that this was an undoubted fact, and she lived in this uneasy feeling of unknown origin every day.

Pick up your phone again and check the time.

January 1st.

Tokyo time, one thirty in the morning.

A time when most people have fallen into a deep sleep.

However……

"Buzz-" All of a sudden, the phone suddenly vibrated.

"Ugh...!"

Startled by this unexpected situation, Sayu screamed uncontrollably, and then quickly looked at the screen.

[Miss Shinjo: So~ Do you have anything to say to the president? I can convey it to you depending on the situation? 】

"Eh……?"

After a brief pause, her eyes suddenly lit up.

[Sayu: Well, I'm sorry, did I disturb you? 】

[Miss Shinjou: Excuse me? No, besides, you didn’t say anything. Even the last message was sent forty minutes ago. 】

[Sayu: That's it...]

[Miss Shinjou: So what? What is it about what happened just now~? 】

[Sayu: Huh? 】

[Miss Shinjo: What’s wrong? If you weren't looking for the president, Ms. S, you wouldn't have contacted me, would you? We are not friends. 】

"Miss S..."

Sayu repeated this special title and couldn't help but feel slightly puzzled.

But as the other party said, the two of them were not acquaintances or friends. If they insisted, there was a slight friction, and it was not easy for her to joke with the other party.

What's more, there are more important things to do now...

[Sayu: If possible... could you give my regards to that person? Wish him a happy new year and praise Shi Qi. 】

[Miss Shinjou: What else? 】

[Sayu: Huh? 】

[Miss Shinjou: Is that just that? You have nothing else to say? 】

Seeing the message on the screen, Sayu's eyes were slightly dazed for a moment, and then he moved his fingers to type the reply——

[Well, that’s good. 】

[Ms. Shinjou: Well~~~Since you said that, fine, I will watch and convey it. 】

[Sayu: Thank you, Ms. Shinjo. (bow)】

[Miss Shinjo: No need, after all, half of this is out of my personal curiosity. That’s it, good night, Miss S~]

[Sayu: Okay, good night, Miss Shinjo. 】

The chat officially comes to an end here.

"Miss Shinjou... I always find her so strange."

Sayu whispered in a low voice, inadvertently opened the other party's circle of friends, and browsed through it casually.

Should I say it was expected?

It records the daily life of a large number of owners.

Such as some selfies with friends, delicious-looking food, activities at school, cute clothes, check-ins for visiting fashionable stores, etc...

It vividly shows the image of a delicate girl and the colorful life of the person involved.

But the other party's appearance is very cute, so it's not surprising at all that it would be like this.

"Octopus Sausage"

"The Work of the Student Union"

"Sports Festival Cheerleaders"

"The Maid at the Cultural Festival"

"Welcome Party for Xiao Xi"

Sayu looked at these photos with relish, and at the same time couldn't help but guess the relationship between the other person and that person.

Once in Chiba Prefecture and once in Tokyo.

When she saw Shinjoka twice, he appeared next to that person.

Although that person was summarized as a "friend", out of some sixth sense, she felt that the relationship between the two people was not that simple.

But then, she couldn't help but laugh at herself.

After all, given that person's condition, it would be unthinkable if he didn't have a girlfriend.

Especially after he was treated like that, it wouldn't be surprising if someone came to show his kindness while he was hurt.

According to some information on the Internet, she heard that that person's girlfriend seemed to be a senior student in her school. Not only is he a beautiful person, he is also a great family.

"Could it be the girl from the archery competition last time...?" She said to herself.

Even though it was just a quick glance, the girl with a gentle and calm temperament still left a deep impression on her.

not only that.

There are also several women who appeared in Chiba Prefecture earlier.

For example, the blonde girl with an exquisite and dreamy appearance, the girl with a bob hair who is inconspicuous at first glance but very attractive, and the big sister who drives a sports car and arrives at the scene like a queen...

There were so many women around that man that she didn't even bother to feel jealous.

No matter who among these people is his girlfriend, she is not qualified to make irresponsible remarks, even if it is to taste in her heart.

In her impression, even high school lovers would often go to each other's house to play.

The negative thinking had a ripple effect, making her think of more things.

Since she is a girlfriend...

Would he be...intimate with someone else?

When he thought of this, Sayu suddenly felt chills all over his body.

Her brain was generating delusions uncontrollably, and many images flashed through her mind, making her internal organs seem to be tightly contracted.

That man had an affair with a woman she didn't know.

When I imagine that scene, I don't know why I feel very disgusted.

Obviously this should be a very common thing after getting a girlfriend.

Obviously this has nothing to do with her.

But the more she imagined it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

"What is this..."

She sighed dejectedly, feeling that the whirlpool of loneliness and negative emotions she had never experienced before was almost swallowing her up.

At this moment, there was suddenly an additional dynamic on the screen.

"Congratulations on the New Year~~"

Sayu looked over subconsciously, and what came into view was a photo of three people.

In the photo, Shinjoka holds her mobile phone high, with the brightly lit shrine behind her.

Next to her stood a girl with a high ponytail, and next to her was the girl with blond hair.

The three girls stood close together, holding different styles of New Year's guards in their hands, with very happy expressions.

Not far behind them, someone was looking somewhere with his arms crossed, looking careless and not knowing what he was thinking.

Even though it was just a side face that appeared inadvertently, it still exuded a strong sense of presence and firmly attracted her attention.

"That's it..."

Sayu murmured to himself: "So they went to worship together..."

Among all Shintōka's circle of friends, this is the first time that person appears on the scene.

She didn't know if there was any special reason behind it, and she didn't want to think deeply about it.

but……

Being able to see him on the first day of the new year still made her feel great comfort.

After just staring for a while.

"Yusuke..."

The girl chanted softly and pressed the phone gently to her chest.

She fluttered her eyelashes and said good night to him in her heart.
