MTL - Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home-Chapter 46 The intersection of dream and reality

  Chapter 46 The Boundary of Dreams and Reality

I had a dream.

   After my grandfather passed away, I came to Tokyo alone.

   I left the village where I lived for 14 years and moved from Saitama to Tokyo, which is just over an hour's drive away, and moved into that old apartment.

   Although my parents are not around...or I don't know where in the world I am, I still have a guardian in name.

   He is a very gentle person. Whenever he is on holiday, he will send delicious sweet potatoes and senbei from his hometown.

   Even the original admission procedures were handled by the other party, and I am grateful enough to be able to do that.

   Everyone in the village is also very nice. Even though they have no blood relationship with me, they are willing to give money from their own family to help me go to school.

  Although I understand that this is all because of my grandfather, and everyone has said that I don’t need to care about money, but I don’t think so.

  Our village is not rich, and each of them has their own family. As an outsider, I can't enjoy this work with peace of mind, so I chose to work part-time.

   Not only for myself, but also to repay everyone's kindness.

   One day, I met a girl.

   She has a completely different experience from me. She clearly has a lovely face, but there is absolutely no brilliance in her eyes. Standing in front of me, she seems to be just a shell.

   Through the conversation, I learned that she came to Tokyo from a far away place. Because she had no money, she could only choose to stay in different people’s homes, and she paid a lot for this.

   I listened quietly to her story without commenting.

  This is the way of society, either rely on oneself or rely on others, weak things cannot survive alone, because this is the rule of society.

  I should have thought so.

   But for some reason, a burning sensation kept pouring out of my heart, and an emotion called anger gradually filled my chest.

   Everyone is just selfishly pushing her to the edge of the cliff, and no one has ever offered her a helping hand.

   At that moment, I strongly wanted to do something for her, so I spoke without hesitation.

   "I want to save you."

  When I said this sentence in a firm tone, I could clearly see that a strange change suddenly occurred in the eyes of the other party.

   It was like a pool of stagnant water was revived, tears welled up from her eyes, she was smiling, but her expression was so sad.

"…Thank you."

   She looked at me and said with a sob.

   "...Yusuke."

   The dark vortex gradually swallowed me up, but her voice still echoed in my ears.

  …

   "...Yusuke?"

  When Kato Yusuke slowly opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Sayu Ogihara's beautiful face.

   "You couldn't wake up today even if you screamed for some reason. You usually wake up with just a little poke." Sayu looked at him worriedly: "Did you have a nightmare?"

   "Nightmare...?" Kato Yusuke murmured, only to feel that his throat was abnormally dry and uncomfortable.

   "Yes." Sayu nodded again and again, stared into his eyes and said, "I feel like you are moaning in pain."

   "Is that so..."

   Kato Yusuke whispered, raised his hand and pulled Sayu into his arms, then hugged her tightly.

   "Um! Um... Yusuke... It's so uncomfortable..."

   Sayu said as if he couldn't breathe, so Kato Yusuke relaxed his strength.

   "Sayu."

   "What, what are you doing..."

   "I will protect you, no matter what."

   "...what's wrong with you suddenly."

   As if realizing something, Sayu pushed Kato Yusuke's shoulder away.

   "Is it related to that dream?" She looked at Kato Yusuke, "Yusuke you...dream about me?"

   Seeing Kato Yusuke nodding lightly, her expression softened immediately.

"You're really worried about me." With amber eyes swaying, Sayu hugged Kato Yusuke with open arms, buried his head in his arms, and asked softly, "What did Yusuke dream about, am I missing? "

   Kato Yusuke shook his head, wrapped one hand around her slender waist, and whispered in a low voice.

   "Something more annoying...I see you standing in the dark and I'm like a bystander, nothing can be done for you."

   "Is that so?" Sayu's eyes became softer and softer, and he said to Kato Yusuke's ear: "But it was just a dream... Right?"

   She grabbed Kato Yusuke's right hand with her left hand and interlocked her fingers.

   "Because we are here right now. Your taste, your touch, your temperature, everything is so real."

   As if to tell this person all his inner thoughts, Sayu Ogihara chanted softly, "I, from the bottom of my heart, think it's great to meet Yusuke."

   "I'm a coward who likes to escape. I have neither the courage to face the past nor the future... But ah..."

   "Even if it was me, Yusuke accepted it without reservation..."

"so."

  Her eyes flushed slightly, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes.

   "Although there are still a lot of immature places, but if I want to stay here, just let me stay with Yusuke... Is that okay?"

   said, a smile appeared on Ogihara Sayu's face, sadness and happiness emerged at the same time, and that smile seemed real and beautiful to Kato Yusuke.

   The faces in reality and dreams gradually merge.

   Looking at this scene, Kato Yusuke stretched out his hand and hugged Sayu Ogihara again, then took a deep breath and said.

   "You can stay as long as you want."

   "Okay..." Sayu sobbed softly, and put her chin on Kato Yusuke's shoulder, touching his cheek.

   "Since I came to Tokyo, I've become a crybaby..."

   "Ah...really." Kato Yusuke stroked her hair and said, "It's just a good-looking crybaby."

   "What's that saying, I hate it." The girl cried and laughed.

   "Hey, Yusuke."

"Um?"

   "One day, I'm going to make you think, "It's great that Sayu Ogihara is here" or something. "

   "Really..." Kato Yusuke said with a smile, "Congratulations then."

   "Hmm...? That means..."

   "Ah." Kato Yusuke nodded, confirming her guess, "It's really nice of you to be here, I thought so before."

   "...Yu...Jie...?"

  's petite body trembled slightly, hot tears wet the cheeks of the two, the girl opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

   As if to melt into this person's body, Sayu Ogihara slid into his arms.

   Warm fragrant nephrite in his arms.

   Between the ears and temples, Kato Yusuke clenched his palm tightly and couldn't help thinking:

   At least this time, I won't let everything in the dream repeat itself.

   Thanks for the recommendation ticket!

   Thank you [Pentaine Lightning] for the reward!
