Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

Latest website: Muzi’s part-time job is going very smoothly.

Her efforts were recognized by her boss, who transformed the store's storage room into a single dormitory for her convenience.

Although the room was small, almost half the size of the association, no one could refuse a private space of their own, so Muzi agreed without hesitation.

She immediately shared the good news with the members of the association and generously offered to treat them to dinner with her first month's salary.

Because of this, everyone gathered at Salia near the station.

Although Muzi himself expressed that he wanted to treat the guests at a more decent place, the girls all tacitly chose an affordable place like a family restaurant.

After ordering, the waiter brought the food quickly.

After making sure everyone had their drinks, Asami took the lead and raised their glasses as a matter of course.

"Well, in order to celebrate Xiaomuzi's official graduation from the association, let's all cheer together~~!

"

"

"cheers."""

Muzi, Sayu, and Xiao Xi clinked glasses with each other, and then everyone drank.

After taking a few sips, Muzi put down the cup with a little regret, "Thank you everyone, it would be great if Xiaoxiang could be here too."

"Ah, I'm sorry, Miss Muzi, Xiaoxiang seems to have been selected by the dance class teacher as a performer at the Summer Festival, and I really can't get away from it today."

As soon as Serizawa Yu finished speaking, the three girls focused their attention in surprise.

Muzi: "Summer Festival..."

Sayu: "The dancer..."

Asami: "Performer?"

"Hmm, Xiaoxiang's dance teacher seems to be the executive committee member of the Summer Festival, and she already has cheerleading skills, so that's why...don't you know?"

"

have no idea. Sayu and Asami shook their heads.

"So, the boss has mentioned this to me. Our store will also set up a stall at the Summer Festival~" Muzi said with a smile.

"Eh? Do you even have to sell "tokyo melonpon"? Miss Muzi, what do you want to sell? "Serizawa Yu opened her eyes in surprise.

"It's a waffle~"

"Wow, it's actually a muffin, Miss Muzi is so awesome!"

"No, the person in charge is the boss, I am mainly the assistant."

"Yes ~ Then I will definitely come and visit you then!"

Everyone chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Looking at Muzi with a new look, Asami spoke in a relaxed tone.

"By the way, Xiaomuzi, I'm actually writing a promotional article for the association recently. Can you be my first guest?"

"Eh? Guest...?"

"That's right~ To put it simply, I think your experience is very representative, so I want to do an exclusive interview with you and shoot a vlog for promotion. Are you willing?"

Muzi couldn't help but be stunned and tilted his head thoughtfully.

"Asami, do you mean to make a video of my experience and put it online for everyone to watch?"

As soon as these words came out, even Sayu and Xiao Xi were stunned.

For a girl with mental illness, this kind of behavior is tantamount to asking the owner to open the wound for others to watch. It can't even be easily described as excessive!

Asami laughed "Hey", as if she was unaware of the tense atmosphere around her, and instead gave a thumbs up.

"Correct answer~! As expected of Xiao Muzi, one point is all it takes, it's amazing."

"Ah hahaha, I am a woman with five Twitter accounts alone. How can I not understand your thoughts? The question is, Asami, can you interview me?"

"Idiot, the person sitting in front of you is a female college student who wants to become a writer. This suspicion is unnecessary."

"Ah~ Do you think I will become a character in it?"

“Well, maybe it’s not possible now, but I’m considering writing a book specifically about the group of “god-loving girls” in the future and getting it published. "

"Wow, this sounds so interesting! Okay, so when do we start?"

"Because it's not good to disturb you at work casually, why not just leave it after get off work and when you are resting~"

The two of them talked like no one else was around, which made Sayu and Xiao Xi dumbfounded.

"——No, you two wait!"

Sayu said in a panic: "Why did things suddenly become like this? Is this something worth getting excited about? Does Muzi really think it's okay?"

Serizawa Yuu nodded like garlic, and it was equally difficult to understand.

Muzi looked at them with a smile on his face and nodded.

"Yeah~ I don't have a problem? Because it's you, so I don't mind, and if my experience can help other people, I will also feel very happy~"

Asami said generously:

"Don't worry, Xiao Muzi! Your story itself is contagious and will definitely give others courage.

When shooting, I will help you mosaic and use a pseudonym to try not to affect your current life. "

Because the two hit it off, the matter was settled.

After the dinner, Sayu secretly paid the bill.

This behavior attracted Muzi's blame, but he dismissed it on the grounds that there would be another chance next time.

Serizawa Yu wanted to see Muzi's dormitory, so she went to the bakery with her. Sayu and Asami walked towards the association.

As they walked on the road, Asami stretched her arms comfortably.

"Ah~ Salia's baked rice with bolognese sauce is really delicious, and their thin pizza tastes good too. Let's go there another day~"

Sayu looked at her sideways and said depressedly:

"Asami, were you too nervous just now? You actually made such a request to Muzi. Even if the other party will be angry, it is not an exaggeration."

"Haha, okay, okay, Xiaomuzi is not that fragile. Sister Sayu, you worry too much. Wouldn't it be better to get along with everyone easily like me?"

"I'm also getting along easily with everyone, right? It's just that I can't be as casual as Asami."

"I understand this~! I understand it from what happened to Katozai. You are a hard-working and strong-willed girl. People can't help but want to help you."

"...Do you want to do an exclusive interview with Muzi for the purpose of writing a book?"

"That's just one reason. The important thing is that it's also for our association." Asami spoke thoughtfully.

“Compared with those adults, public welfare organizations like ours composed of students are still too easy to be looked down upon.

You should be aware of this when raising funds, so we must change this stereotype.

The idea is to increase people’s trust in us by sharing our organization’s story online and on social media. This is a great idea, right? "

"Well~~ It's great, but is it that simple? I'm not questioning your writing ability, Asami, but I think credibility can't be obtained through the Internet alone, right?"

"Idiot, don't underestimate the power of the Internet, okay? Look at Katozai, his popularity on the Internet has always been very high.

If we move him out to help raise funds, we can attract girls to donate to our association in about a minute. "

"——You can't do that!"

Sayu suddenly stopped and emphasized angrily: "I'm serious, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely can't do that kind of thing!"

The girl said this, the resistance on her face was clear.

Asami covered her mouth and snickered, then raised her hands in surrender.

"Yes~ I was just joking. I promise I won't do that kind of thing. Sister Sayu, don't be angry.

And you are right, credibility depends on the combination of online and offline, so we cannot relax in both aspects. "

After she finished speaking, she put her hand on Sayu's shoulder and said in a cheerful tone:

"In short, leave Xiaomuzi's affairs to me. I will definitely handle this matter beautifully~!"

…

A few days later, a popular video appeared on YouTube.

"The Story Behind the Girl Who Was Treated by God"

The video tells the story of a teenage girl who witnessed her sister being subjected to domestic violence by her parents since she was a child, and then fell into the abyss step by step.

q: "Why did your parents commit violence against your sister?"

a: "My parents are typical academic supremacists, with strong violent tendencies and desire for control, and cannot tolerate the slightest resistance from their children.

Because I was afraid of what they would do, I kept telling people around me that they were very good parents, and over time I gradually became sick inside. "

q: "What kind of violence has your sister suffered in the past?"

a: "When I was in kindergarten, my sister vomited some bitter medicine because she couldn't take it, so her parents kicked her. I can't remember the rest of the story because there are so many.

Anyway, my parents were very strict with my sister regarding her grades. From time to time, they would hit her and say some nasty words to her. My sister was really bruised and bruised at that time. "

q: "Is this why you suffer from depression and self-harm?"

a: "Yes~ After living in that kind of family for more than ten years, I finally couldn't help but escape.

Since I had no money, I could only wander aimlessly on the streets.

At that time, there was a kind-faced man who offered to provide me with a place to live, so I went with him, but he assaulted me that night..."

q: "I'm sorry...that must be painful."

a: "Thank you for your understanding... Frankly speaking, I feel more disappointed with society than pain. Sure enough, strangers can't believe it.

...Having said that, I continued to live in this way in various men's houses. "

Q: "Why didn't you choose to call the police?"

a: "I did have this thought, but when I thought about being sent back to that home, I felt it was better to continue like this.

Fortunately... I was brought back to the association by Xiao Xi, and then I met you again.

Before that, I never thought that there was such a gentle place in the world.

Because of your help, I can be reborn smoothly~"

q: "I'm so scared, has your self-harm behavior eased now?"

a: "Yes~! Thanks to everyone's careful care, I no longer have attacks easily. Even if there is any pressure, I will resolve it through other means."

q: "Can I ask what the method is?"

a: "Hmm~ I have five Twitter accounts.

One is for chasing stars, one is for posting about my daily life, one is for watching animation and otaku stuff, one is for complaining, and the other is for learning to bake. "

q: "Oh~! The uses are so detailed. Is this the Liguo girl? So, is there anything you want to say to everyone?"

a: "Well~~ I hope my story can bring some hope to those girls who are in panic. Let me borrow a passage that Ms. Sayu once told me -

Each of us will go through a particularly difficult time, such as embarrassment in life, frustration at work, panic in love...

As long as you can survive it, life will suddenly become brighter; if you cannot survive it, time will teach you to make peace with life.

So don’t be afraid and don’t go to extremes.

Always believe——

When the sun rises and the moon sets, there is always dawn. "

q: "True or false!? Has she ever said something so philosophical? Hey, Sister Sayu, is what Amu said true?"

The camera turned to the face of a girl with a wry smile.

Serizawa Yu: "Ah, Asami, lens, lens!"

Shinjoka: "I can't stand it, so I'll cut it off after this."

After a burst of laughter, the camera returned to the faces of Mami and the mosaiced Muzi.

Asami: "Ahem, anyway, thank you very much, Amu, for accepting my interview. Please take care of yourself in the future. I wish you success in your work. If you have any difficulties, remember to come to us for discussion."

Muzi: "Yeah~ I will, thank you all."

Asami: "The above is the entire content of this video. If you have any suggestions or comments, please leave a message below. Thank you everyone~"

The comment area was very lively——

"Miss Amu is so pitiful, those parents are so outrageous."

"Self-harm is so terrible..."

"Don't the Japanese police care? What about the PTA??"

"Domestic violence is like this. If the victim doesn't tell him, it will be difficult for others to find out."

"Is this fake?"

"Don't talk nonsense upstairs. The scars on the arms look like they have been accumulated over a long period of time. How could they be fake?"

"Miss Amu, come on, support~!"

"By the way, this "osy Association" is actually a public welfare organization? Aren’t the members inside too young? "

"..."

Generally speaking, the response from the audience was pretty good, and most of them showed goodwill towards Muzi's experience.

——However, this is not the main reason why the video becomes popular.

In this era of entertainment to death, this trivial matter really cannot stir up any waves on the Internet.

What really catches people’s attention is the good looks of the members of the association.

Although there were only a few shots, the four girls with different styles still attracted a lot of attention, making the video spread on the Internet.

Suddenly, many people were discussing this matter on social media.

Affected by this, everyone has also been disturbed to a certain extent, such as receiving inquiries from classmates, friends, family, etc.

In Asahikawa City, Hokkaido, Ogiwara Kazusa looked at the video on the Internet with a proud smile on his face.

He thought for a moment, found the contact information of a certain media person in his business card folder, and called the person.

"Hello, are you Editor-in-Chief Kudo?

Sorry for disturbing you during your busy schedule. Are you free recently? If possible, I would like to pay a visit..."
