MTL - Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home-Chapter 20 not an example
Chapter 20 is not an example
"What was that just now?"
A pair of big eyes flickered at Kato Yusuke, Ogihara Sayu's words were full of excitement.
"This is the second floor! He jumped up with a 'boom-', is Yusuke a superman?"
As he spoke, his body was still twisting and twisting restlessly.
"Don't move." Kato Yusuke patted her on the head and said, "If you move any more, you will be ignored."
The wet long hair was wrapped in a large white towel, and Kato Yusuke was wiping her with both hands.
The girl's black hair, which was almost brown, poured down from the top of her head like a waterfall, hanging on her shoulders, and it was still silky smooth, as if it was covered with a layer of veil.
"All right."
Kato Yusuke said lightly, and took the towel off her head, the hair inside was half dry.
"that's it."
“Thank you~”
Sayu said sweetly, then shook her head from side to side, the evening wind blew her hair, fluttering gently in front of that bright moon-like face.
Seeing this, Kato Yusuke got up and closed the doors and windows, then went to the kitchen, picked up the tray placed on the counter, walked to Sayu and sat down.
"Take your medicine."
He took out a few white pills from the aluminum foil and handed them to Sayu.
The little face who just took a bath was flushed, Ogihara Sayu knelt on the futon with her calves turned out, wearing blue pajamas, exuding a good smell of shampoo.
"what is this?"
She pointed to the thing in Kato Yusuke's hand and asked, her voice a little muffled.
"Cold medicine and vitamins."
Kato Yu introduced succinctly, looked her in the eyes and said, "Go to rest early after taking the medicine, so that the cold will be better."
"Eh~~~, but Yusuke hasn't answered the question yet."
Ogihara Sayu pouted and said a little childishly.
Kato Yusuke didn't answer, just looked at her so calmly, his dark eyes were like a deep ancient well, which made Sayu calm down all of a sudden.
"Eat or not?"
"…eat."
Sayou agreed glumly, raised his hand to get the medicine, his expression was very unwilling.
Seeing this, the corners of Kato Yusuke's mouth twitched imperceptibly.
The girl's fingers are slender and long, like the tips of new bamboo shoots after the rain.
"Um…"
The fingertips stayed on the top of the palm for a few seconds, Ogihara Sayu retracted her hand thoughtfully, facing the questioning gaze of Kato Yusuke, she put her index finger to her mouth and turned her head to look at him.
"You have to eat it anyway, why don't Yusuke feed me... It hurts!"
Sayu hugged her head and said in pain.
"Be a little self-conscious as a patient."
Kato Yusuke retracted his fingers and said lightly.
"If you've had enough trouble, take your medicine as soon as possible."
“Woo…”
A circle of red marks appeared on the snow-white forehead, and tears rolled in his eyes. Sayu was aggrieved and sad, grabbed the medicine from Kato Yusuke and threw it into his mouth, and drank it with water.
"That's it!"
She put the cup heavily on the tray, then buried her face in the quilt, ignoring Kato Yusuke in a fit of anger, and her body twitched.
Kato Yusuke didn't mind either. He calmly packed his things and looked at Sayu who was still hiding under the quilt. After thinking for a while, he reached out and touched her exposed little head, and said gently.
"You did a great job, a good boy."
The movement in the quilt stopped for a while, then quieted down, and after a few seconds, some awkward voices came from inside.
"People are not children..."
Sayu said.
"Yes yes, you are not."
While saying that, Kato Yusuke stood up.
"Have a good rest."
The sound of thumping footsteps sounded in the room, and the sound seemed to be heading outside?
Sayu secretly pulled down the quilt, and saw Kato Yusuke with a schoolbag in his hand, not knowing where to go.
"Wait a moment-!"
She sat up anxiously.
"where are you going…!?"
Kato Yusuke paused, turned around, and raised the schoolbag in his hand to her.
"I'm reading in the bathroom, call me if you have anything."
"Eh...?" Sayu couldn't help but be stunned, "Wouldn't it be better to stay here if you read books?"
Kato Yusuke shook his head: "That will affect your rest."
"...for this?"
"Um."
Said, he looked at Ogihara Sayu with thoughtful eyes.
"Are you thinking of something strange?"
Hearing Kato Yusuke's words, Sayu gently shook his head in denial, and then said.
"It's good to be here."
"What's the meaning?"
"Don't worry about me, I can fall asleep even with the light on." Sayu Ogihara let out a long sigh and looked at Kato Yusuke: "Let's say, I would feel more at ease with Yusuke around. "
"So please, please stay by my side..."
's voice became smaller and smaller, her ears were red and hot, and her courage left her body like a cocoon, but even so, she still didn't look away, looking at Kato Yusuke firmly.
"…Is it necessary to use honorifics for this kind of thing?"
Kato Yusuke was speechless, but after hesitating for a while, he finally said.
"...I don't care if I can't sleep afterwards."
This is agreed.
The girl's face immediately burst into a gorgeous smile, like a peach blossom in full bloom, she looked at Kato Yusuke with a frown and said in response.
"Okay~~"
"Then wait a minute." Saying that, Kato Yusuke bent down, found a small lamp in the cabinet in the corridor, then stood up and walked towards the living room, turning off the light in the middle.
The room suddenly plunged into darkness.
He gropingly walked over to Sayu and sat down, fixed the lamp on the low table, and turned on the switch.
The table lamp immediately gave off a soft yellow glow.
"At least it would be better."
Then he took out the textbook from his schoolbag and put it on the table, then asked Sayu, "Will it be dazzling?"
Sayu gently shook his head: "Not at all."
"That's good."
Kato Yusuke nodded and motioned Ogihara Sayu to go to sleep with his eyes, while he flipped through the book.
Under the dim light, Kato Yusuke crouched on the table, his expression focused and serious.
The mechanical pencil in his hand writes and draws on the notebook from time to time, as if he is recording something.
Ogihara Sayu was lying under the quilt and quietly watching this scene, the expression on his face kept changing, as if he was hesitating about something.
Time passed by, and after an unknown amount of time, Sayu Ogihara finally made up his mind.
She quietly stretched out one hand from the quilt, grabbed Kato Yusuke's left hand hanging on her knee with her right hand, and then interlocked with her backhand.
The calm surface of the lake caused a ripple.
Kato Yusuke paused, ready to take out his hands.
“A chirp…”
A small voice came from beside him.
After a moment of silence, Kato Yusuke let out a long sigh.
"...not an example."
and then continued reading.
