Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

after that--

"Welcome back~Eiriri. Hey, how's it going? Have you gotten along well with Kato-kun in the past two weeks?~!?"

Sayuri Sawamura walked to the door as she spoke, and asked her precious daughter with a gossipy look on her face.

"Hmm...I'm back."

Facing her mother who was approaching her, Ying Lili couldn't help but take a small step back, trying her best to smile with a normal heart.

"Um... Yusuke and I are pretty good..."

"Hoho~~?"

A wise daughter is better than a mother.

Sayuri Sawamura immediately noticed the unnaturalness in her expression, and raised her hand to cover her mouth, her smile becoming ambiguous.

"That's right, it's all good, right~? Hum~hey~eh~~?"

"Wha, why are you smiling like that? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

"There is no such thing~~Mom just feels happy, right?"

"Well...Mom and Dad are just too much! You actually left your daughter alone in Nasu Plateau. You are so cruel."

"Hey~~What are you talking about? Ever since I found out you had the flu, my father has been clamoring to visit you all day long. If I hadn't stopped him, do you think you could have spent that sweet week with Kato-kun?"

"Liar? Is this true——!?"

Ying Lili looked stunned and couldn't believe it for a moment.

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, you can ask dad when he comes back in the evening."

Sawamura Sayuri stepped forward with a smile, put her hands on her daughter's shoulders, and looked at her with affectionate eyes.

Against the soft sheen of the clothing, the girl's skin as white and pure as fresh snow looked quite dazzling.

Compared with two weeks ago, Yinglili was slightly rounder at this time, like a pink and jade-shaped doll.

Her face is healthy and rosy, her eyes are bright and she is full of energy. Her whole person exudes a cheerful and lively atmosphere from the inside out, making people feel very relaxed and comfortable.

Sayuri Sawamura nodded slightly, feeling satisfied in her heart.

Her eyes circled around her daughter's face, then naturally moved downwards, landing on her neck.

The next second, she was suddenly attracted by a flash of red and unconsciously focused on it.

You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.

On the right side of Yinglili's neck, a mark that looks like a lipstick mark is peeking out from the collar of her shirt. It is very different from the fair skin color around her, and it is as eye-catching as if someone has chewed it.

Her heart skipped a beat, but she didn't say anything immediately. She continued searching elsewhere quietly, but found no other doubts, so she guessed they had been eliminated.

His heart was filled with tears, but his face was expressionless.

Sayuri Sawamura touched her daughter's head and asked with a smile: "Well~ you look good. It seems that Kato-kun has taken good care of you?"

"Huh?"

Yinglili blinked and mumbled with a slight hesitation: "Well, that's just him...and he's actually quite hateful."

"Really? Mom thinks Kato-kun already loves you very much. Even the doctor said that the child would not care about his own safety in order to take care of you. Don't be too willful? What if you scare Kato-kun away? alright."

"He dares!"

Yinglili frowned and stared.

"He has promised to take care of me as my boyfriend from now on. If he dares to go back on his word, I will never forgive him..."

"Oh~ did this happen? You finally succeeded. Congratulations, Yinglili~"

"Hmm~ It's just, it's okay...hehehe."

"Oh, oh, oh, it's so gratifying, so gratifying, so congratulatory~"

Sawamura Peng Heel Sayuri clapped her hands gently and asked in a chatting tone: "So, are the hickeys on your neck also left by Kato-kun~?"

"That's it! He's so annoying that I even said no--scare!

? "

Yinglili suddenly shivered mid-sentence, then she curled up her neck and stared down at her toes.

"W-what, what, what, what hickey...?"

She spoke hesitantly, feeling angry.

She had obviously warned that person not to suck hard, but the other person still branded her without any sense of proportion, causing her to be so embarrassed that she couldn't hold her head up.

"Oh~~ It's useless for you to pretend to be stupid to mom, Ying Lili. Even if I pretend not to know, how are you going to cope with dad? Can you rely on band-aids?"

"Well--!"

"Ah, my stupid daughter has actually thought about it like that? I hate it~ It's so embarrassing. It's obvious that your mother used to be so smart, but you really followed your father in this regard, right?"

Sayuri Sawamura sighed, successfully arousing Eiri's anger.

"Damn it, mom, what are you saying? Are you showing off your intelligence? You really are showing off! It makes me so angry!"

"Listen up~ Yinglili. I won't go into details, but band-aids are definitely not enough. Mommy will lend you foundation and concealer later, so you can put them on before daddy comes home~"

"Huh……?"

Ying Lili raised her hands to cover her neck and said blankly: "Um, mom, aren't you angry...?"

"Angry? Why?" Sayuri Sawamura tilted her head slightly in confusion.

"That's right, Yusuke and I... have already dated, so..."

A few beats apart.

Sayuri Sawamura asked with a smile: "About this~ It depends on you Eiri, right?"

"What?"

"What do you think? Do you feel regret or reluctance?"

"Well……?"

Yinglili hesitated to speak, and said in a voice not much louder than a mosquito: "No...no..."

Sayuri Sawamura understood, "Then I have nothing to say. You go upstairs to change clothes first. Mom will go up after getting the foundation and concealer."

"good……"

Yinglili walked obediently to the second floor as if she had been granted amnesty. Halfway through, Sayuri Sawamura said again——

"By the way, Eiri, I will discuss with my father tonight to see what time is suitable. Then you can help me make an appointment with Kato-kun and let him come to our house for dinner next time."

Yinglili's footsteps paused, she said "I know", and then she ran back to the room.

Sayuri Sawamura put her hand on her forehead, massaging her temples with a slight headache, and thought quietly.

In fact, she didn't expect things to develop so quickly.

According to what she has known about Kato Yusuke for so long, he should not be a person who only acts on impulse, but has a more mature personality.

Because of this, she would confidently and boldly hand over her daughter to the other party. As a result, the current development seems to be somewhat derailed...

After a while, she suddenly realized something. She couldn't help but look up to the second floor and said to herself: "Is the problem with my Yinglili...?"

…

At night, Kato Yusuke also received a video call from Eri Riri to investigate.

"I told you it couldn't be done! You were the one who clearly said it couldn't be done... It was you who caused me to be discovered by my mother!"

"How much do you want to humiliate me before you're satisfied? You inhuman villain! What a pervert!"

"I'm going to kill you! If I kill you, I won't be alive either!"

The girl said angrily, showing her teeth and claws like a feline cub, with a fierce breast and a fierce breast.

Kato Yusuke took a sip of coffee and couldn't help joking: "That being said, didn't you enjoy it at the time?"

"What! I had no intention of reaching that point at all!"

Yinglili said, tears flashing from the corners of her eyes, with a look of grievance on her face.

"... Rather, I need to be more mentally prepared. Can you not jump so many steps at once? At least when we are alone in the room... I will still allow it..."

Seeing this, Kato Yusuke couldn't stop joking and started to comfort him. He didn't stop until the other party regained his composure.

Yinglili pretended to wipe away her tears and muttered: "...Then, my mother asked me to tell you that she wants you to come to my house for dinner next weekend."

"--Well?"

Kato Yusuke was dumbfounded, "I always feel that these words sound like someone coming from a bad place..."

"Pfft~"

Ying Lili looked proud, "Who told you to do such an excessive thing to me? Even if you are repaired by your parents, it is normal, right?"

"That's true..." Kato Yusuke touched his nose with a wry smile.

The girl stared at him for a while, then asked: "Hey, Yusuke, Kasumigaoka Shiu's side...haven't you met her family...?"

"Well, not yet."

"Hey, but you have been dating for a long time, right? Haven't you encountered the same... situation like me?"

"No... to be honest, we are usually more restrained. In addition, Xiao Shi is also more thoughtful, so we usually don't reveal our flaws."

"Is...is that so? But doesn't she usually show off her coquettishness all day long?"

"Well, what should I say?"

Kato Yusuke carefully chose his words, "Contrary to appearances, Xiaoshi may be more conservative than you think, and it will become useless at critical moments."

In other words, if today's ridiculous thing were to happen to Shiyu, he would definitely be rejected without hesitation, and the other party would not let him do whatever he wanted.

Yinglili nodded in understanding, rolled around on the bed, picked up a pillow and held it in her arms.

Kato Yusuke took a deep breath and said, "Anyway, I remember the meal. I will visit you on time and thank your parents for the invitation."

"Huh?" Yinglili's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly when she saw his reaction, "Could it be that you are nervous...?"

"Any questions……?"

"Because it's not the first time you've met my parents. You should be familiar with them already, right?"

"Can this be the same... Your parents used to treat me as a "daughter's friend", but this time they undoubtedly treat me as a "daughter's boyfriend", right? "

Yinglili chuckled, "It's okay, my parents don't know how to eat people. Even if something happens, I will help you."

"That's not necessary. I will act by ear when the time comes, so you don't have to worry."

Kato Yusuke paused and said: "In addition, about today's matter... I was wrong at the time. I'm sorry, I promise I won't do it next time."

"don't want……"

"Um?"

"I said no..."

Yinglili hugged the pillow, hiding half of her face, her eyes drifted away, and she said unclearly:

"I didn't say I hate you touching me. If it were you, I would want to be closer to you... If you suddenly distance yourself from me, I might die alone.

So, if it's a normal level... I want you to pamper me more. "

By the time she finished speaking, her voice had turned into a weak breath, her face was stained with a dull rose color, and her body was twisting uneasily.

Kato Yusuke opened his mouth, and suddenly realized that girls are really cute creatures, and was speechless for a moment.

"Then, let's do it. I'll tell my parents your answer, and I won't tell you anymore."

Yinglili finished speaking very quickly and then hung up the video.

She rolled to the edge of the bed, picked up the box of chocolates she brought back from the Nasu Plateau, happily took a photo with her phone, and posted it on her WeChat Moments.

"Chocolate is delicious? Don't forget my birthday gift~ (grimace)"

After much hesitation, she still didn’t go to @someone, but she believed that person would know what to do.

She doesn't have many friends on LINE, they are basically close family members, friends, and studio members.

Even so, this status received many likes and comments shortly after it was posted. Many people are asking whether she is in love and congratulating her on this.

At the same time, she also received private messages from some people.

In the "Anti-Favorite Alliance (3)", a certain member acted extremely anxious.

[Kasumigaoka Shiu: @Sawamura, what does that circle of friends mean? Did Yu-chan give you the chocolate? Did he celebrate your birthday? 】

[Kasumigaoka Shiu: @Sawamura, have you returned to Tokyo today? How is the situation between you and Yuu-chan? Did you succeed? Was it successful? Or failed? 】

[Kasumigaoka Shiu: @Sawamura, as an ally, it’s about time you reported the situation to us, right? Please describe the events of the past few days carefully and word for word. 】

[Kasumigaoka Shiyu: @Sawamura, you have obviously seen the news, but I have read it here. Don't be a mute over there, come and recruit me from the truth! (crazy)]

Even across the screen, the other party's heavy obsession was still conveyed intuitively and clearly.

Yinglili felt a chill for no reason and couldn't help but fold her arms and rub them, as if she was wrapped in countless dark tentacles.

"No wonder my mother would say that the girls around Yusuke are very irritating. How do you respond to such a question that looks like finding fault! What is the anti-benefit alliance? This name is simply incomprehensible. Does she want to keep using it? !?"

She stared at her phone and complained.

At this time, another member of the group started to make peace.

[Kano-chan: Okay, okay, Xiaoshi, please calm down first. Sawamura-san must be very tired after riding for a long time today, so let her have a good rest. Don't push others too hard. It's not too late to wait until tomorrow to talk about anything. 】

[Kasumigaoka Shiha: @Kano-chan, which side are you on...but forget it, @Sawamura remember to come to Kano-chan tomorrow morning. We have something very important to say, no! be late. 】

"what does it mean……"

Yinglili stared at the screen of her mobile phone, confused.

…

On the other side, a certain house that the detective visited.

"Chocolate is delicious? Don't forget my birthday gift~ (grimace)"

An Yilun also looked at this circle of friends, his hands trembling slightly.

Although Yinglili did not name the recipient of the chocolate gift, it is not a secret at all in the eyes of discerning people!

What's more, the other party personally admitted to him the boy he liked last time, so he couldn't think of any other candidates except that person.

"I see...you and Kato are indeed together."

An Yilun also murmured and put down his cell phone, leaning slumped on the bed, his face turned ashen.

He originally planned to call Ying Lili to say hello, but suddenly he saw this bombshell news, and he was suddenly in no mood.

Buzzing~~

Sad music echoed in the room, as if to arouse the sadness in his heart.

"Well……"

A feeling of bewilderment and loss that is difficult to describe in words gradually came to my heart.

For some reason, Yinglili's face appeared in front of his eyes, and the other person had already gone to a distant place that he could not reach.

The thoughts he had hidden for seven years dissipated unknowingly, and everything became a thing of the past.

It was like the hazy emotion he had cultivated since childhood was slowly turning into melancholy memories, driving him into a bottomless valley...

"?~~~?~~~"

An Yilun also woke up instantly and suddenly turned around, "Hey! Michiru! Why are you playing such sad music on purpose!"

In front of his field of vision, a girl with short hair and wearing heated pants with suspenders was sitting cross-legged on the bed, playing appropriate music on the guitar.

"Hey~~What did you say~~? I can't hear~~"

The girl pointed to the headphones on her head and said with a smirk.

"Stop lying! You did it on purpose, right? You can hear clearly what I'm saying now, right?"

"Oh~ After all, Alan, you showed that sad expression. I was thinking about playing a melody that fits the atmosphere. Maybe it can be used in your game? For example, when the hero and heroine are forced to separate. ~"

"Please take a look at the atmosphere! But... I'd really like you to be so considerate of the game."

"Well~ after all, this is what we agreed upon at the beginning. Since you are willing to be our band's manager, Allen, I will naturally help you make game music, so you're welcome."

Hyōdo Michiru took off his earphones and played a long note meaningfully.

"So, where are you? Alan, why did you look like you were heartbroken just now? Could it be that you were dumped by the girl you liked?"

"Ahem——!"

"Eh, are you lying? Did you really get what I said!?"

"Stop, stop talking nonsense! What I like is a two-dimensional girl! Three-dimensional and other things are not in the scope of my interest at all." An Yilun also blushed and said arrogantly.

Faced with his answer, Hyodo Michiru couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Oh~~ This is such a boring speech full of nerdiness. I mean, Allen, you should grow up quickly. You won't be able to please real girls like this, right?"

"Who cares about that kind of thing? Besides, what reason do I have to please three-dimensional girls? They are no match for two-dimensional girls!"

"Oh? Just Alan, how dare you look down on a three-dimensional girl."

"I'm just stating the facts."

"Then let me ask you, have you ever held hands with a girl?

Have you ever smelled the sweet scent of a girl's hair after taking a shower?

Have you ever kissed a girl and experienced the mental trance caused by that soft touch?

You obviously haven’t experienced these rich and diverse experiences, so it’s too arbitrary to unilaterally conclude that the second dimension is better than the third dimension? "

"——"

An Yilun also opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time. It took a while to calm down.

"...What on earth are you talking about! I am a high school student who abides by the rules! How could I do such immoral things!"

"Wow, you are so stubborn that you are almost old-fashioned. That's why you are a virgin~"

"What!? What about you, Michiru? Have you already experienced the above things?"

"Well--?"

Hyōdo Michiru's smiling expression froze, and she turned her head to the other side guiltily.

"... The same goes for Sister Hai. I really don't know what kind of ecstasy you poured into her to make her willing to withdraw from her previous club. It's such a waste to leave a handsome guy of that level alone. Ah, I still don't understand."

"That's enough! Meizhiru, you guy! It's okay for you to have a crush on a handsome guy without permission. Is she still a middle school student now!? Don't instill in her the theory that appearance is paramount!"

"Is that too much!? I'm not the kind of person who has an appearance association. I only like the producer of "Duango Family" because he likes it. It's just that the other person happens to be a handsome guy, that's all~!" Michiru Hyido said plausibly.

Hearing this, An Yilun couldn't help but feel worse.

It would be fine if his cousin was discussing someone else, but she wanted to discuss the person he least wanted to think of at the moment, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

However, there are some things that he himself understands.

Whether it's Eiri, Izumi, or Michiru, the three of them all have reasons to admire that person.

Let’s not talk about the painting skills. Let’s talk about the song “Duanzi Family”. The number of plays on Youtube has reached an exaggerated number.

Although the promotion of the support group is indispensable, it is surprising that a music amateur can make such a song, and it is natural that it will attract people's attention.

"Say what you say, Allen."

Hyodo Michiru held the guitar and asked curiously: "Why did you have a quarrel with that Kato-kun? I asked my sister Dekai many times, but she just refused to tell me."

"... Kato and I simply had different ideas, so we fell through."

"Is that so? Well, it must be because Allen made some disrespectful remarks without authorization, right? You have always been very self-centered from before~"

"——Stop joking!

"

"ah!?"

A Yirun also suddenly yelled, which frightened Hyoudou Michiru's body.

He turned a blind eye to this and continued speaking through gritted teeth.

"What do you mean I'm self-centered? That guy Kato...that kind of person doesn't understand what the real game is at all. He only sees interests! I have to prove to him what is right!" "

There was silence for a while.

Hyōdo Michiru blinked blankly and asked with a puzzled expression: "Even if you say that...haven't you described Dehai's sister's brother like this before? But aren't you still in a club together now?"

"that is because--"

An Yilun also tried to defend, but found that he had nothing to say, so he shook his head and changed the topic.

"Okay, anyway, that's the end of this topic. I remember you have a performance next week, right? Which live house are you going to? I'll prepare it."

"Oh~~ Let me take a look, um, it's the "STARRY" in Shimokitazawa. "

"Shimokitazawa, "STARRY"... Hey, Google says it's a pure rock-oriented live house. Why would a nerdy band like you go there to perform?" "

"How rude! The so-called music knows no borders... However, I don't know why. It seems that they received an invitation from that store when they were young, so that's why."

"Well, you really don't worry about anything except the performance..."

"I'm just more focused on the guitar! What's more, Allen has become our manager now, and my father can't find an excuse to ban me from going to Live House. I can finally concentrate on creating."

"I'm telling you, uncle, he's worried about your safety. After all, rock and roll is always associated with bad things."

"Ah! That's your prejudice against rock music. You obviously feel dissatisfied when others look at otakus in a colored light. Allen, you really have a double standard." Michiru Hyido said displeased.

"Uh... well, in short, I understand the situation. Don't worry, I will take care of the performance and support you."

"Ok~ Then I'll leave it to you, agent!"

"Yes, yes~ just leave it to me."

An Yilun also forced himself to cheer up and put Yinglili's matter behind him for the time being.

One day he will prove to those two people that his views on the game are correct and make them regret it!

And that day is not too far away.

…
