Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

After picking up Sayu who ran away from home, she began to be reborn in Tokyo Main Volume 375. The miko——appeared in front of her like a red camellia coming from the dusk.

The girl wore a beautiful yukata.

The pure white fabric is printed with irregular black lines, and pop-style red camellias bloom on it, presenting Japanese-style tones and patterns in a modern style.

The surface of the belt is aqua blue, and the inside is turquoise. Use the front and back knots to create a knot that looks like two dewweeds and forget-me-nots leaning against each other.

The knot in the middle of the belt uses a traditional Mizuhiki knot, which looks delicate and elegant.

She had her hair tied up, and a few strands of brown hair hung down from both sides of her face, swaying lightly by her ears.

A gentle breeze carries with it the delicate sweet scent of citrus.

She didn't know whether it was because her blusher was thicker than usual or for some other reason, but her face, which was lightly painted with pink and white, also had tiny camellia flowers blooming on it.

Sayu put one hand on his chest and looked over with an uneasy look on his face, carefully peering into someone's eyes.

Kato Yusuke came back to his senses, calmed down the emotions in his eyes, greeted him with a simple nod, and then looked at the other person.

Asami Yuuki was wearing a dark black T-shirt and denim shorts, and was standing next to Sayu doing nothing.

He thought for a moment and said a normal greeting: "Good evening, Asami."

"Huh?" Asami raised her eyebrows when she heard what he said. She glanced at the embarrassed Sayu next to her subconsciously, and then said unhappily:

"Tsk... I mean, Katozai, why don't you at least say hello to Sayu-chan? Isn't this too rude?"

"Ah, um, Asami, I'm fine..." Just as Sayu was halfway through her words, someone interrupted her.

"——Who is the rude person?"

Shiyu took a step forward and asked Asami:

"Didn't you see that my boyfriend just said hello to her? What else do you want? Speaking of being rude, haven't your family taught you to use honorifics when asking someone to please you?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she brought the atmosphere to the worst possible direction, and her merciless style made the whole audience a little confused.

Sayu also quietly lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously clenching the hem of his sleeves.

Asami was stunned at first, and then her face immediately turned ugly, "Hey! I just asked Katozai to say hello to Sayu-chan. What you said was too harsh, right??"

"Oh, according to you, as long as you want it, others have to cooperate with you? Even a primary school student is not so naive, right?"

"You are simply going too far! Are today's high school students so unqualified?"

"Quality? Oh, don't make excuses for yourself. I'm not your family or friend. Do you think everyone has to accommodate you?"

Shiyu said sarcastically, and his expression and tone were so lifelike that Mami's blood pressure soared and her anger level kept rising.

But in fact, Shiyu was the angrier person.

After all, she is a girl who holds grudges, and what happened that day at Xia COMI has always been in her mind.

Although she later forgave Kato Yusuke, that did not mean that she also had to forgive Sayu.

Rather, her dislike for Sayu has far surpassed that of her previous archenemy, and will probably remain so for a long time.

Especially Sayu, who only stared at Kato Yusuke when she arrived just now, and her indifferent attitude deeply irritated her.

Originally, she was angry and worried, but Asami jumped up and gave her a way to vent her anger.

With all the old and new grudges, how can there be any reason to be merciful?

Shiyu and Asami glared at each other, their antagonism rising.

The situation took a turn for the worse and everyone was dumbfounded.

In the tense atmosphere, everyone else felt thirsty, but no one had the courage to break the murderous air.

Yinglili, Sayu, and Xiao Xi opened their mouths in a daze, and even their thoughts stopped. Only the tragic sound of artillery fire was left in their minds.

Sayu glanced at Kato Yusuke, the protagonist, uneasily, and found that he had a calm expression on his face and had no intention of stopping Shiyu.

She was about to stand up and apologize, but Asami couldn't bear it, took a step forward, raised her voice and said:

"You woman is simply unreasonable. You are still a writer, but you are so superficial!

I am friends with Katozai and Sayu, and I will tell them directly if any of them has a problem.

What happened just now was that something was wrong with Katozai. Why was he only being so aggressive towards Sayu's sister! ? "

Shiyu's eyes became fiercer and he refused to give in.

"This statement is really ridiculous. Do you think you are a messenger of justice who helps fight injustice? Stop being so self-righteous!

You are just unilaterally blaming others from the moral high ground. This kind of person is usually called a villain. "

"Are you kidding!?" Asami gritted her teeth and said:

"Who is the villain?? Katozai clearly knows Sayu Meizai's intentions, but he always shows an attitude of being unwilling to do anything.

If he doesn't like others, don't hang on to others! I just don’t like seeing this kind of place——”

"——Stop talking!"

Sayu grabbed Asami's arm hard, shook her head from side to side almost pleadingly, and said weakly:

"...Asami, that's not the case. If you can only show tenderness to the people you like, wouldn't it be impossible to make friends?

I, Xiaoxiang, and Xiaoxi were all saved because of Yusuke's gentleness.

The reason why Yusuke rejected me is because I didn't become a girl good enough for him to like me.

Thank you for worrying about me, but it’s okay with me, hehe..."

At the end of her speech, she tried her best to put on a soft smile, looking inexplicably coquettish.

"--Well!"

Asami's eyebrows twitched, she scratched her hair extremely irritably, and finally asked angrily:

"Ah, you really piss me off! Katozai, you heard what Sayu said, don't you have nothing to say?"

Shiyu sneered and turned to look at Kato Yusuke, who had been silent, wanting him to answer the question, and others also focused their attention on him.

In a brief silence.

Kato Yusuke didn't say anything, he just stepped forward and stood next to Shiyu, expressing his position with actions.

"Katozai, you...!"

Asami was about to say something, but Shiyu interrupted her directly.

"Stop morally kidnapping my boyfriend, you Obasan."

"O-Obasan!?" Asami's eyes darkened: "I just went to college!? Take back those words immediately!!"

"...Well, um, Mr. Kato." Muzi walked over tremblingly and said, "I kept you waiting, your muffins...the muffins are ready."

"Thank you." Kato Yusuke took four waffles from her hand, casually glanced at the pointing passers-by, and then looked at Sayu opposite.

"Good evening, Miss Sayu, I'm sorry to say that we have to leave now."

He said hello calmly and distantly, as if he had no intention of continuing this quarrel, so he ended the conversation in this way.

Then he lowered his gaze and said in a gentle voice: "Xiao Xi, come with me first. The senior sister who helped you before is also here today. You should thank her properly."

Serizawa Yui was completely frightened and couldn't even react for a while. Finally, Eiriri called her and suddenly woke up.

"Ah, um, Brother Yu, I..."

"Okay, let's go. You can come back after I say hello."

"Well--"

Serizawa Yu couldn't refuse, so she could only agree dejectedly, "...Okay, Brother Yu."

Kato Yusuke raised his head, told Shiyu and Eiriri to leave, and then took them away.

Serizawa Yuu deliberately fell in the last place, made a clasped-hand gesture of apology to Sayu and Asami, and left with a sad face.

…

Follow the guidance of the music and come to the Kagura Hall deep in the shrine.

Find Kanoko Hasumi and Ryoko Nakano.

Kato Yusuke introduced Serizawa Yu to the latter, and Xiao Yu immediately recognized that this was his benefactor and bowed obediently.

"Um, first time meeting, Ms. Nakano, I am Yu-nii's sister Yu Serizawa. Thank you very much for what happened before. Thank you also for the kimono you gave me. Please give me your advice...!"

"Ah~" Nakano Ryoko smiled: "So you are Xiao Xi, I'm glad to meet you~ This kimono suits you very well, doesn't it?"

"Ah, yes, thank you for the compliment..." Serizawa Yu scratched her cheek in embarrassment, a little embarrassed.

But how could Ryoko Nakano embarrass her? He naturally started chatting with her and quickly relieved her anxiety.

Shiyu sighed deliberately and said to Yinglili beside him:

"...I'm not saying that, if you, Sawamura, had one-third of Nakano-senpai's character, you would be a well-deserved eldest lady."

"You're so noisy." Ying Lili glared at her angrily, cut off a small piece of muffin with a plastic fork and put it into her mouth, saying vaguely:

"I am myself and will not become anyone's replacement. As long as Yusuke likes me, it will be fine."

Hasumi Kanoko, who overheard their conversation, couldn't help but smile, and then lowered her voice and asked:

"Kato-kun, what happened when you met Xiao Xi? I feel like Eri-ri has something on her mind."

Kato Yusuke was silent for a moment and briefly told her what had just happened.

After listening to Kanoko, Hasumi said softly, "No wonder." Her tone sounded profound.

Before Kato Yusuke had time to think deeply about what she meant, the surrounding audience became commotion, and a male palace minister walked onto the stage.

The other party stood in the center of the stage, delivered a series of speeches and prayers that fit the atmosphere of the festival, and then withdrew.

Then, two shrine maidens slowly appeared on the stage.

They wore silver crowns made of flowers, white shirts and red skirts, and elegant white robes decorated with the shrine's coat of arms.

As soon as he appeared on the stage, he captured people's attention.

"""""Oh~!""""

The audience naturally let out a roar of admiration.

"Ah~ Brother Yu, it's Xiaoxiang!"

Serizawa Yuu stared at a certain figure with shining eyes, grabbing Yusuke Kato's sleeve and shaking it gently, the excitement on her face was beyond words.

The two shrine maidens ignored the commotion and stood in the center of the stage with calm expressions. The Kagura bells in their hands reflected the gorgeous golden light and dazzled people's eyes.

The next second, the accompaniment of the flute sounded leisurely.

They slowly took a step forward and bowed in front of the audience.

Then they gently raised the Kagura bell and stopped it in the air. Their elegant and holy behavior made the audience reluctant to blink.

Finally, the two miko flicked their wrists——

Jingle bell~

The clear and loud ringtone leaked out, and time seemed to stop at this moment.

In the visible air, it was like a scene from a movie flashing by.

Staring.

The surrounding lights penetrated the dark night, and the crystal-like fluorescence shone in the girl's eyes, flowing endlessly, exuding an irresistible charm.

Shinjoka's eyes were slightly lowered, her slender feet were wrapped in snow-white foot bags, and she danced to the beat, as if her whole body was weightless.

There was a smile on her lips, with a nonchalant look on her face. Her long and wide sleeves moved gracefully with the dance, and the feathers fluttered like snow behind her.

The lights and candles flickered like stars, and the music in the Kagura Hall was clear and clear.

The audience's exclamations came one after another, and some people kept whispering, and so on.

However, these sounds did not reach Kato Yusuke's ears.

He stood there, quietly watching Shinjoka on the stage, his eyes reflecting the other person's dancing posture.

Leisurely and quiet.

From the toes to the fingertips, the overall movements are smooth and natural, and the Kagura dance is performed vividly.

Even a layman like him could see how well Shinjoka performed. The movements that are refined to the extreme are so beautiful that even if some people say that she is a real miko, it is not an exaggeration.

Not far away, Asami opened her mouth in astonishment and said in disbelief: "This is too ridiculous. Is Xiaoxiang actually such a good dancer?"

"Yes." Sayu stared at the stage intently and nodded vigorously, "Xiaoxiang has always been very good, so she was chosen as a temporary miko to participate in the performance."

As she spoke, her face showed genuine joy and recognition, as if she was very happy that her friend was praised.

Asami secretly observed her expression, not knowing how many times she felt helpless, thinking to herself that this silly girl really had nothing to do with the world.

Then she glanced sideways to the right, passed through the gaps in the crowd, and landed on a certain boy, and thought to herself——

"...Tsk, it's so awkward."

She complained softly, and suddenly lost the mood to continue watching the show, so she said, "Sister Sayu, I'm going to the toilet, you watch first."

"Yes, I understand." Sha Yue nodded and agreed readily.

Asami saw that she was looking at the stage even when she was talking to him, so she warned with some worry:

"Anyway, I'll be back soon. Just wait here and don't run around."

Sayu nodded again and said okay.

After a few beats, Asami put one hand on her shoulder for some reason.

"Oh, Asami, I said I would wait here - eh?"

Sayu turned her head as she spoke, and her voice stopped abruptly the next second.

The person holding her shoulder was not Mami, it was clearly Shiyu!

The other party stared at her quietly, her red lips parted slightly: "Is it convenient for us to chat?"
