MTL - Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home-Chapter 633 The truth behind passbooks

  Chapter 633 The truth behind the passbook

   In the blink of an eye, a week passed like this.

  In Shibuya, Tokyo, a rather fashionable coffee shop.

  A pair of brother and sister are sitting by the window seat.

  The elder brother in a suit and leather shoes has medium-length hair and is handsome.

  The younger sister in a Nizi coat has long brown hair, she is pretty and cute.

  They sat facing each other, and the bustling Omotesando was outside the window.

  Even in such a place where handsome men and beautiful women gather together, the image and temperament of the two have attracted the attention of many people.

   Especially when there were two burly bodyguards sitting across the table, they looked even more eye-catching.

   Needless to say, this pair of siblings are Ichisa and Sayu who came all the way from Hokkaido.

  As for the reason why they appear here...

   That's because today is February 23rd, which is the day Sayu took the Aoyama Academy exam.

"So-"

  Ogiwara Kazusa looked at his sister in front of him, and said softly, "Thank you, Sayu, how do you feel? Did the exam go well?"

   "Hmm~! I think it's not bad. The scope of this exam is not very wide, and the question types are similar to the ones I've seen before, so I think it's okay."

   "Well, how does the difficulty of the exam here compare with that over there?"

   "Brother is referring to Qingxue and Zaoying, right? Well~~ If you insist, Zaoying's university exams are indeed more difficult."

   "Ahaha, it's natural, after all, it's ranked higher. So what? Sayu, which school do you want to go to?"

   "No...Brother said this as if I had already passed the exam. You won't know about this kind of thing until the results come out, right?"

   "Don't you have confidence?"

   "That's not the case..."

  Sayu took a sip of the sweet matcha in the cup, and after worrying for a while, said: "Although I don't really want to say that... But I never thought that I would fail."

   "Hey~ What a strong self-confidence. As expected of my sister, Asuka's hero~"

   "Please don't call me that nickname! I mean it, brother!"

   Seeing Sayu's cute reaction, a companion at the next table couldn't help laughing out loud.

   "Hey, time flies by so fast, and before I know it, little Sayu is going to go to college. Is Sayu's younger sister very good?"

   The person who spoke was Mr. Lin, a bodyguard hired by their family.

   As a bodyguard, such a tone is obviously inappropriate, but Kazusa Ogiwara is used to it, and sincerely respects this strong man with extraordinary skills.

   "Mr. Lin, you are over-rewarded. Sayu's excellence is all due to his own efforts. My brother is really ashamed."

   "Don't say that. As a man, if you can make money to support your family, it's already great. Besides, didn't you just turn down your job and accompany your sister to take the exam?"

   "Thank you, but that's what I should be doing."

  Mr. Lin grinned and said no more.

  Yi Sa turned his eyes to his sister again and said:

   "In short, my mother has been very concerned about our situation here, and I'm going to report to her. Before that, Sayu, can you sit here for a while?"

   "Well, I see, brother."

  Sayu nodded lightly to express her understanding,

  Mr. Lin said another sentence: "Don't worry if you swear, I will take good care of Xiao Sayu and prevent her from being bullied by men in Tokyo."

   "Then please."

  Ogiwara Kazusa nodded with a smile, and walked outside with his mobile phone, while another bodyguard also consciously followed and opened the door for him.

   This call took a little longer than expected.

  By the time they returned to their seats, Sayu had already finished the drink in the cup and was chatting with her friends on her mobile phone.

   "Sorry, mom explained a lot of things at once, and kept you waiting, Sayu."

   "No, I'm chatting with Yuko anyway... What did Mom say?"

   "Well... it's actually those things."

  Ogiwara Kazusa showed a wry smile, drank two sips of his own black coffee to moisten his throat, and talked.

   "I won't mention things like paying attention to safety. My mother asked me to take you to actually inspect a few apartments. If there is a suitable one, I will rent it and use it when you live alone in the future."

   "...Isn't it too early for that kind of thing? The school starts in April."

   "I think so too, but it's a pity that my mother asked for it. We can first place an entrustment with the intermediary company and wait for Sayu to make a decision after your exam results come out. What do you think?"

   "It doesn't matter to me... But, that seems to be too much trouble for brother, but in fact, I can handle this kind of thing myself."

   "Don't think so, you deserve it."

   "...deserves..."

   Sayu muttered to himself, his eyes dazed for a moment.

  Ogiwara Kazuki smiled, then thought of another thing, and said after deliberation: "There is also Sayu... Have you heard of the name Kato Yusuke?"

"-Eh?"

  Sayu's movements were still, and her amber pupils lost focus for an instant.

  Ogiwara Kazusa took out a passbook from the inner pocket of the suit, placed it on the table, and gently pushed it to the opposite side with his fingers.

"this is for you."

   "...Huh, this is?"

   "It's your passbook, you can keep it yourself from now on."

   "...brother? Well, about what you just said..."

   "—Actually, I've been wanting to talk to you before, but because you were still concentrating on preparing for the exam at that time, it was delayed until now."

  Ogiwara Kazusa clasped his hands on the table, and asked his sister: "Now, can I talk to Sayu about this passbook?"

   "This passbook...?"

  Sayu subconsciously glanced at the passbook in front of her, then raised her eyes blankly and looked across, waiting for the next article.

   "I hope you won't be surprised by this matter. In fact, Sayu's passbook was deposited with a sum of money in September, a total of 27 million."

"what!?"

  Hearing this, Sayu stood up impatiently, and the chair knocked.

   "Then, that...brother, the person you are talking about is..."

   She stuttered and asked, her lips twisted unconsciously, afraid that she would hear an answer.

  Ogiwara Kazusa looked at his sister thoughtfully, frowned slightly, then nodded with a hum,

   "...I did some research and found that the person who saved this money for you was Kato Yusuke. The specific time was on September 18. Do you know him?"

   With a "boom", Sayu's mind went blank.

  She opened her eyes wide in astonishment, her heart seemed to be caught tightly.

  September 18th…

   Wasn't that shortly after she chased him away?

  Memories float in front of my eyes like a revolving lantern, and the picture is pulled back frame by frame.

  In the autumn when the leaves are covered with golden leaves, on the bank of the river where the sun is setting.

  The girl glared at the boy with hatred, and cast a vicious Cruciatus spell at the top of her voice.

  ‘You kind of person! Most - hate it! '

'…do you like him? this boy. '

  ‘At least compared to strangers, Izumi-san is more trusted by me! '

  Finally, what was fixed in front of my eyes was a pair of dead black pupils and that shaky back that was about to fall.

"……how come."

  Sayu's face turned pale, and she slumped down on the chair exhausted.

   She stretched out her hand tremblingly, bit her lips tightly, and picked up the passbook from the table.

  Opening the loose-leaf, eyes fell on the string of numbers...

   "..."

  She blushed suddenly, covered her mouth, and a tear slipped down her cheek silently.

  In order to hide the tears, she buried her head lower and her shoulders trembled uncontrollably.

  Why did you admit the wrong person...

   That person is a complete liar...

   Obviously until the end, he was protecting her well, wasn't he...?

   Such a discovery made her both happy and sad.

   "...Why, do this for me..."

  She choked weakly, hugged the passbook tightly to her chest, and uttered silent syllables.

   "...Sayu?"

   "...Xiao Sayu?"

  The elder brother and Mr. Lin in the seat called her name softly, their voices were full of worry.

   "...well, I'm fine."

  Sayu said in a thick nasal voice, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes without a trace, raised her head as if nothing happened, and smiled.

   "Excuse me, brother."

  She said: "I know that person, can this matter be resolved by myself, please."

  After speaking, he bent his body deeply.

   "Sayu..."

  Ogiwara Kazusa couldn't help being moved, staring at his sister for a moment, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said:

   "Is that so... You seem to have something to hide?"

  The girl remained silent and kept her head down.

   Seeing that she didn't want to explain, Yi Sa rubbed his temples and sighed helplessly.

  "...I understand. Since Sayu said so, then leave this matter to you and I will not interfere.

   In addition, I have also deposited your college money in accordance with my mother's instructions, and I will pay you for living expenses on a regular basis. Is this okay? "

   "...Well, thank you bro...really."

   "You don't need to see each other like this with your family. If you encounter any difficulties that you can't handle by yourself, remember to tell us at any time."

"…it is good."

   Sayu responded with a weak voice, and finally raised her head.

   Then, she begged like this: "I'm sorry, brother... I have a place that I have to go to, can I stay with you for a while?"

   "A must-go place..."

  Ogiwara Kazusa thought for a moment, and said, "Can you be alone? Or let Mr. Lin accompany you..."

   "—No, please leave me alone."

   "..."

  Ogiwara Kazusa couldn't help frowning slightly, while Sayu took a deep breath.

   "Don't worry, I will pay attention to my own safety. I'm just looking for a friend I met in Tokyo, who is also a girl, and there will be no danger."

   "...can you tell me where you plan to go?"

   "This... is near the station in Takadanobaba."

   A short silence.

   "...So, can you promise to be back at the hotel before dark?"

   "Brother..." The girl showed a happy expression and nodded vigorously, "Yes! I will!"

   "Understood." Ogiwara Kazusa smiled softly, "Then you can go."

   "Thank you brother!"

  Sayu stood up as she spoke, and ran out of the store in a hurry with her backpack in her arms, even forgetting to say goodbye to people.

   "Mr. Lin."

   "Understood, Yamamoto-kun, you go and follow the lady, and be careful not to be discovered."

"yes!"

  The bodyguard who received the order bowed respectfully, and quickly chased after him.

   After the two left the store, Mr. Lin couldn't help but said, "Is this really all right? Yisha."

   "What do you mean?"

   "That's a lot of money after all, is it okay to just hand it over to Xiao Sayu?"

  —knock knock.

  Ogihara Kazusa tapped the table with his knuckles, and said: "It's not handed over to Sayu, the money belongs to her, and she has the right to dispose of it herself."

   "However, Xiao Sayu didn't seem to know the existence of the money at first, but you told her in detail. It's amazing."

  Mr. Lin said so, but he smiled sincerely on his face, and then changed the topic and said:

   "However, Yi Sa, you secretly found someone to investigate that boy. If Sayu-chan finds out, will she be angry?"

   "My original intention was to find out the source of the money, and it was not my purpose to investigate that person."

   "Having said that, didn't you find a private investigator in the end?"

  Ogiwara Kazusa did not deny this, picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee, and said lightly: "It's okay, Sayu won't know."

  ◇

   Ding Dong ~ Ding Dong.

   Ding dong ding dong ding dong.

  The doorbell rang hurriedly.

   Sayu took a deep breath, patted his stiff face, tried to hide his impatience, and put a polite smile on his face.

  After about ten seconds passed, the door of "101" room opened halfway discreetly.

  A girl with short brown hair and a princess-style long-sleeved one-piece dress with leggings from Marvell appeared behind the door.

  There was a hint of wariness in the girl's eyes, and she asked wonderingly: "... May I ask who are you?"

"…what?"

  Sayou couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then immediately bowed slightly and said, "Well, I'm sorry to bother you, but is Miss Xintiao here?"

   "Miss Xinjo...ah, you mean Xiaoxiang?"

   "Yes! Hello, I'm Miss Shinjo's friend, I'm sorry for the sudden visit... Is she here?"

  Sayu chose polite words to express her intention of coming.

  Hearing her explanation, the guard in the girl's eyes dissipated a little, and then she said in embarrassment: "That... Xiaoxiang and the others are not here now?"

   "That's it, is she out? Can I wait for her at the door?"

   "Uh, she's gone out...but you probably won't be able to wait for her."

"…what?"

   "Because Xiao Xiang and Xiao Xi have been away from home since yesterday, and it seems that they won't be back until three days later."

   "Three days later...does it take that long?"

   "That's right, aren't you Xiaoxiang's friend? Don't you know about this?"

  The girl said with a slight suspicion on her face.

   Sayu hurriedly explained: "Ah, no, because I came here temporarily and haven't contacted Miss Xintiao yet, so..."

   "Is that so..."

  The girl nodded dubiously, obviously having doubts about this statement, and after thinking for a while, she said:

   "But, even if you're looking for Xiaoxiang, she doesn't live here? Her and Xiaoxi's room is upstairs, why would you knock on the door here?"

"that is because…!"

   Sayu raised her volume unconsciously, then pressed her chest again, and said sincerely:

   "Actually, I was brought here to stay for one night before...the person who took care of me at that time was Miss Xinjo."

"what…?"

  The girl made a surprised sound, walked out from behind the door and took her hand, and for some reason, there was a lot of approval on her face.

   "Is that so~ So you have also been helped by this association? I'm new here, nice to meet you, you can just call me Muzi~"

   "Uh... well, Miss Muzi, hello, the association refers to..."

   Seeing the girl shaking hands with her enthusiastically, Sayu wanted to ask further.

  At this moment, a suspicious voice suddenly came from behind.

   "Huh...Xiao Muzi? Did any friends come to play with you?"

   Looking back.

  A girl with long dark blonde hair and healthy wheat-colored skin was looking at them with her head tilted.
