Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

From picking up Sayu who ran away from home, she begins to be reborn in Tokyo Main Volume 376, Goldfish "Chat, chat...?"

Sayu repeated this sentence involuntarily, unable to understand the situation for a while.

Shiyu, who had just had an argument with Asami, now took the initiative to say that he wanted to talk to her. This was an unreasonable thing no matter how you thought about it.

Sayu doesn't think her charm is big enough for Shiyu to show kindness to her, so there is only one reason why the other party would find her——

"...Looking for trouble?" Her lips moved slightly, and she read out the two words that came to her mind without paying attention.

Shiyu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, seeming a little surprised by her directness, but did not deny it.

"Well, although my original intention is just to chat with you, in your opinion, this is no different from making trouble, right? So it's okay for you to understand it that way."

Sayu secretly thought, and sure enough, she couldn't help but become nervous, feeling like a frog being stared at by a snake, just waiting to provide the other party with a good meal.

She swallowed subconsciously and asked: "...What do you want to talk about?"

Shiyu didn't answer the question immediately. Instead, he glanced quickly in a certain direction with his peripheral vision, and then took a small step back without leaving any trace.

This move was very strange, and it made Sayu think instinctively. At the same time, he raised his head and looked to the right, and found Yusuke Kato standing there separated by a dozen people.

'Ah, she came here secretly...'

Like a blessed soul, this thought appeared in Sayu's mind.

"Anyway, I'll get straight to the point." Shiyu suddenly spoke up, deliberately keeping his voice between them, "How long do you plan to maintain the status quo?"

Sayu was slightly startled: "The current situation refers to...?"

Shiyu said calmly: "Don't act stupid at this time, right? How long do you plan to continue torturing Yu-chan?"

"Torture...what does this mean...?"

"That's what it means literally. Your existence itself is a mistake and harm. It has no other effect except bringing pain to Yu-chan. Can't you let him go?"

"Well--!"

The too direct declaration made Sayu speechless and felt a tightness in her chest. She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and asked, "Why...you have to say that?"

Shiyu glanced back and forth on her body a few times, and finally settled on her face, staring at her quietly. His gaze seemed particularly meaningful, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

"Maybe you think I'm lying, but do you know what impact you have had on him?

He was neither very happy nor unhappy. It means that I have less expectations for everything, I have put away my full joy and enthusiasm, I will collapse and I will get used to it, but there is no light in my eyes anymore. "

Shiyu paused for a moment, then stared into her eyes and said word by word: "If you really like him, shouldn't you let him go? Make him happy?"

"What...what..."

The moment these words reached his ears, a pinprick of pain also penetrated Sayu's chest. She couldn't help lowering her head deeply and staring at the straps on the clogs.

Under the dim light, the feet wearing wooden clogs were leaning inward, and the round toes were twisting unconsciously, as if they were a little cramped.

There was obviously a lot of people around, but Sayu felt as if he had been thrown into a cold and dark deep sea, without feeling any warmth.

However, she is not completely unaware...

She actually knew very well how much trouble she had caused that person.

First, he hurt him without knowing why, and then he came to ask for peace inexplicably. After being rejected, he continued to stalk him.

If you think about it, such bad behavior cannot be easily described as bad.

Whenever she thought about this, she would feel a dull pain deep in her heart, and she even had the thought of giving up.

but--

Only the meeting with that person and the time spent together, she never wanted to treat as if it never happened!

She shook her head vigorously, touched her chest and took a deep breath, then raised her head to look at Shiyu, her eyes extremely serious, "... I'm sorry, I can't agree to your... request."

Shiyu's eyes darkened, and he asked in a slightly sharp voice: "Are you saying that even if it becomes a burden to Yu-chan, you won't let him go?"

Contrary to her beautiful appearance, her tone is quite cold and aggressive, but after several consecutive contacts, Sayu is almost used to it.

She suppressed the desire to retreat and the tears that would burst if she was not careful, and nodded slowly but firmly.

"Yes, although I caused trouble for Yusuke and hurt him...but I don't give up, I like him."

With this sentence alone, Shiyu could feel the huge determination behind him.

Shiyu stared in astonishment, with a gloomy expression as if he was going to teach her a lesson in the next second, while Sayu's hands and feet became cold, and her palms were slightly sweaty.

at this time--

"Sorry, Sister Sayu, for keeping you waiting..."

Asami, who came back from using the toilet, happened to see this scene. Her voice couldn't help but get stuck in her throat. She immediately ran up and inserted herself between them.

"Sayu sister!" She guarded Sayu behind her with great vigilance, kept a distance, and asked Shiyu: "What do you want to do to Sayu sister!?"

Her voice was so low that many people around her heard it, and they all looked at her in condemnation, feeling that they were affecting the performance.

Shiyu frowned and ignored Mami. He just took a deep look at Sayu and said contemptuously: "The days are long, let's wait and see."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left.

"What's going on with that girl?" Asami complained angrily, then turned her head and asked with concern: "Sayu, are you okay? Are you being bullied by her?"

"No..." Sayu shook his head slightly, breathed out a little exhausted, and said with a smile: "She didn't bully me, she just came over and chatted with me for a few words."

"Haha? How could that girl chat with you for no reason? You are love rivals!"

"...Um, can I ask Asami a question?"

"what is the problem?"

Sayu bit her lower lip and asked in a relaxed tone: "Am I always causing trouble and trouble to Yusuke...?"

"...What?" Asami couldn't help but be stunned. She didn't expect to hear such a question, and then she frowned openly.

"After all, that girl really did say something to you. You don't need to care about what she said. Sister Sayu, just be yourself!"

"That's not all..." Sayu lowered his gaze slightly and said softly: "Actually, I have also thought about whether I am too annoying. Even though Yusuke has rejected me so many times, I still pester him."

Asami was speechless and couldn't answer the question right away.

This reaction also made Sayu more sure of his guess, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

She opened her mouth and was about to speak, but Asami suddenly put her hands on her shoulders and said in a rare serious tone:

"I think compared to the pain of being rejected for your confession, Sayu, you might as well try to think about how you feel about not wanting it to end here.

I don't care what others think, but I just think you should be with Kato Tsai.

I have had this premonition before, and it has become more and more intense recently. I even dreamed about you living together, so you must not give up and stick to it! "

"Asami..." Sayu stared blankly at the person in front of him, grinning from ear to ear in surprise.

She and Asami have known each other for such a long time, and this was the first time she heard such words from each other. She was like a magic stick.

Thinking of this, she suddenly burst into laughter.

"Ah hahaha! Asami, what do you mean by that? You actually use the word premonition, just like those street performers who do fortune-telling for people."

Hearing her description, Asami was obviously stunned for a moment, and then shyly slapped her shoulder with her hand.

"Why are you laughing? You're so annoying! I'm not lying, that's what my sixth sense told me..."

"No, I just think it's really not like you to be babbling like this. It's so funny, haha~"

"Idiot! Sister Sayu, you are so annoying! That's what it's all about anyway."

"Stop talking, please stop talking, please, my stomach hurts, hahaha." Sayu hugged his stomach with both hands, laughing so hard that even his shoulders were shaking.

But inexplicably, her anxiety disappeared and she calmed down completely.

While the two were making a fuss, the performance on the stage also ended.

"Sorry, Sister Sayu, Sister Asami, I'm back... Uh, what's wrong with you?"

Serizawa Yu, who was released by Kato Yusuke, saw their appearance and tilted his head in confusion, not knowing what happened.

"Ah~ Xiao Xi, listen to me, Asami was just so beautiful..."

Just as Sayu was about to explain, Asami shouted "Don't say it!" and covered her mouth with her hand.

"Okay, okay, now that Xiaoxiang's performance is over, let's not stay here anymore. There will be a fireworks show later, so let's go shopping elsewhere. Let's go, Xiao Xi."

"Oh, okay, Asami-san." Serizawa Yu nodded without knowing why, and followed them to leave.

The three women returned along the original path and came to the area where the stalls were set up.

They each bought a bright red apple candy to eat and walked around the shrine grounds.

In order to relieve her depression, Asami suggested playing target shooting.

But when passing by a certain stall, Serizawa Yu suddenly stopped and said, "Ah, I'm fishing for goldfish."

Sayu followed her gaze and asked with a smile: "Since we happened to meet her, do you want to go play?"

"Eh?" Serizawa Yu's face suddenly lit up, "Is that okay? Sister Sayu."

Asami, who was walking in front, heard their conversation and had to turn back and reminded:

"Most of the goldfish at the festival are weak and will die within a short time of raising them? Do you still want to play with them even so?"

Sayu asked: "It doesn't matter to me, what do you think about Xiao Xi?"

Serizawa Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Yeah! If I can catch it, I want to try to raise it."

"Okay." Sayu nodded happily: "Then let's have some fun~"

So the three people came to the goldfish fishing stall and each bought a fishing net from the stall owner.

Serizawa Yuu rolled up the sleeves of her kimono, locked the target, and carefully stretched the net into the water. However, due to the wrong force, the net broke instantly.

"Ah! Ah~ah." She looked at the fishing net with a hole in it and couldn't help but lower her head in despair.

"It's okay, it's okay~ Xiao Xi, you want the black goldfish, right? Look at mine next!"

Sayu said confidently, carefully observing the flow of water and the swimming trajectory of the goldfish, and then took action at the right time.

Three seconds later——

""ah! Ah~ah. ""

Serizawa Yu and Sayu stared at the broken net and made surprisingly consistent noises.

Asami looked at them dumbfounded and said very speechlessly: "You two, are your hands too clumsy?"

Serizawa Yu: "This is too difficult, Asami-san."

Sayu: "Really, this net is too easy to break, Asami."

"Yes, yes, you can say whatever you want." Asami couldn't stand it and drooped her eyes. She moved the candy apple to her left hand and demanded, "Bring your bowl to me."

The two rookies obeyed the instructions.

Then--

Accompanied by two "snap~" sounds of water, two goldfish, one red and one black, fell into the bowls on the left and right respectively.

""Oh~! ? ""

Sayu and Serizawa Yu showed admiration in their eyes and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Asami, however, seemed to have done something trivial, waving her hand handsomely and handing the net back to the stall owner, and the net was not broken yet!

The stall owner didn't hesitate when he saw this, and immediately helped them put the two goldfish into bags and generously gave them a small bag of feed.

The three of them took a short rest and then walked to the target shooting booth.

Sayu looked at the red goldfish in his hand and asked with a wry smile: "Why do I even have one?"

Asami said matter-of-factly: "Come on, we bought three fishing nets. Wouldn't it be a big loss if we could only catch one? Just think of the one Sayu-chan is a bonus~"

"Asami-san is so awesome!" Serizawa Yu held the bag with the black goldfish in front of her eyes and said with joy, "Great, I have my own goldfish too. What should I name it?"

Asami said with a smile: "If you don't want to be sad because of the death of the goldfish, it's best not to choose a name that is too meaningful?"

"Will you?" Serizawa tilted her head in distress, "But I remember Miss Sawamura also named the goldfish. I plan to ask her for advice on raising goldfish later."

"Miss Sawamura?" Sayu asked curiously: "Xiao Xi, are you talking about the girl who looks like a foreigner? She also keeps goldfish?"

"Yes!" Serizawa Yu nodded heavily and said happily:

"Miss Sawamura raised goldfish from the cultural festival stall in their school, and she even named one of them after Yu-ge!"

"--Eh?"

Sayu paused in his steps and suddenly froze.

Aren't those the names of the two goldfish that Yusuke Kato once told her?

She thought about it, feeling an inexplicable throbbing feeling deep in her heart.

"Sayu-san?"

"Sayou sister?"

Seeing her sudden stop, Serizawa Yu and Asami also stopped and looked at her with puzzled expressions.

"Why..." Sayu muttered, his thinking extremely confusing.

She raised the bag in her hand, stared blankly at the red goldfish inside, and whispered in a daze:

"...Xiaoyu?"
