MTL - Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home-Chapter 634 associations and volunteers

  Chapter 634 Associations and Volunteers

   "Ah, here comes Mami."

   Looking at the blond hot girl walking slowly, Muzi said so.

  The latter's unintentional remark made Sayu also react, and dignifiedly hung his hands in front of his body, leaned forward and said hello.

  Mami looked her over from head to toe indiscriminately, and then turned her gaze to Muzi's face.

   "Xiao Muzi, is this girl your friend?"

   "No, this one is here to find Xiaoxiang, she is...uh..."

   "It's the first time I've met you. My name is Sayu Ogihara. Please give me your advice."

  Sayou relieved Muzi with a wink, and introduced himself, making Muzi smile happily.

   "That's it~ Nice to meet you, Xiao Sayu. I'm Muzi. I'm currently running away from home and being helped here. Please give me your advice."

   "Uh, yeah...Huh—??"

   "Ah~ Is it my turn next? I'm Yuki Asami, and I'm volunteering at the association. Please give me your advice, Sayu."

   "Sayu-sister... Um, ah, yes, Miss Yuki."

   "It's funny, why are you so polite? Just call me Mami and I'll be ok~"

   "Ah, ok... ah, um."

   Seeing Sayu nodding repeatedly, Asami grinned in satisfaction, and turned her attention to Muzi again.

   "By the way, Muzi, I'm back from buying ingredients. I'm sorry for making you wait so long, I'll help you prepare delicious dishes now~"

   "Well... I'm not qualified to be picky, so I'll trouble you, and I will silently cheer for Mami."

   "Hey, don't you make it seem like I'm a poor crafter when you say that."

   "No, I'm already very grateful for the free food. I'm sorry for causing so much trouble to everyone. Even if I get the 'dish' from yesterday, I will eat it all with gratitude."

   "Everyone said yesterday was just an accident! I'm fully prepared today, so don't worry."

   "Thank you, I will look forward to it..."

  Muzi showed a half-doubtful and half-worried expression, and said: "Then I'll go back to the room first... By the way, Xiao Sayu, do you want to come in and sit?"

   "Ah, Muzi, you can go alone. I have something to ask Sayu, so I borrowed her first."

"what…?"

   "Well, I see, then see you later, Xiao Sayu."

   "Okay... Goodbye, Miss Muzi."

   After Muzi returned to the house, Mami led Sayu up to the second floor and led her into room "202".

   "Come~ please come in, although this is someone else's room, but the owner said that you can use it freely, so don't be cautious."

   "...Thanks for the excuse."

   "Sayu, what do you want to drink? Here are water, oolong tea and apple juice, choose the same."

   "Well, I'll just ask for water then."

   "Understood, then sit down first, and I will pour the water for you after I put the things I bought in the kitchen."

"Okay thank you."

   Until then, Sayu had the leisure to look around.

   This is a single apartment about the same size as the downstairs.

   There is a faint girl's fragrance in the air.

  Pink single bed, a desk with folders and books, a black sailor suit hanging on the wall, and a bedside table with photo frames.

"what…"

   Sayu unconsciously made a sound.

  The photo above is a group photo of two girls.

  One is Xinjoxiang with a look of disgust, and the other is a girl who is smiling very happily.

   "Oh~ That's Xiao Xi, who is also the owner of this room."

"…what?"

   "I'm talking about the **** the right in the photo, Sayu, aren't you staring at me?"

   "Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to pry into other people's privacy."

   "It's okay, it's okay, Xiao Xi won't care about these things."

  Asami waved her hands and said, she sat down cross-legged carelessly, "Here, give you water."

"Okay thank you…"

   Sayu took the glass politely, drank it in small sips, and gradually moistened her dry throat.

  She rushed here from the coffee shop in a hurry, and after chatting with Muzi for so long, she was already very thirsty.

  It was only because of the concern in her heart that she temporarily ignored the physical discomfort, and she didn't relax until now.

   "So, Sayu, what is your relationship with Xiaoxiang? A classmate at school... shouldn't it be?"

   "Ah, no, I was just taken care of by Ms. Shinjo before. We are not classmates, I should go to college already..."

   "Huh? Are you a college student??"

   "Well... But I just finished the exam, so I have to wait for the results to know."

   "What, it's so funny, ahaha!"

   "Uh... funny?"

  Sayu smiled awkwardly.

  It was the first time she came into contact with this kind of hot girl, and she didn't know how to react for a while.

  Asami pointed at herself, and said in an exaggerated tone:

   "That's right, because I also just finished my college exams. So, are we both the same age? How old are you, Sayu?"

   "18 years old."

   "Laughing to death! It's really the same! It means that you are dressed like a high school student, which almost caused me to misunderstand."

   "Hmm... Is Mami-san this year's candidate?"

   "That's right, that's right~ Then, which schools did you apply for?"

   "It's Zao University and Aoyama Gakuin University..."

   "Zaoying and Qingxue! Is it true?"

  Asami suddenly stopped, and asked with rounded eyes.

   "It's true."

   "It's actually true, what a dick! Sayu, you are so dick."

"…Is that right?"

   Sayu shrank her body unconsciously, and echoed vaguely.

  Asami came up to her all at once, patted her shoulder enthusiastically, and kept nodding.

   "Oh, we might become classmates in the future, what a coincidence! Sayu sister."

   "Huh... classmate?"

   "That's right~ After all, two of my preferred universities are the same as yours. In addition, the exam questions at Dongda University this year are so difficult, I'm probably out of luck."

   "Dongda..."

   "Well~ that's my first choice. Ah, you seem surprised, don't look at my appearance, I'm actually doing well in school."

   "Ah, uh... sorry."

   "There's no need to apologize, it's a rare opportunity, Sayu, you can stay for dinner too, I'll make preparations."

   "No...how can this be, it's too embarrassing."

   "Okay, okay, everyone said you don't have to be so polite. Anyway, I was going to help Muzi prepare dinner, and one more person is just a matter of convenience. Let's chat for a while~"

  Asami said without explanation, giving no chance of rejection at all.

However-

  When Sayu watched the other party striding to the kitchen, took out the beef curry and chicken curry cooking packets from the plastic bag in the supermarket, and asked her enthusiastically which flavor she liked...

   "Uh... Asami, the delicious food you told Miss Muzi before, shouldn't this be it...?"

   "Ahaha, Muzi complained about the cooking I made yesterday, so today I have to choose this safe one. Don't you like curry?"

   "No, it's not that I don't like..."

  Sayu shook her head with a wry smile, thought for a while and said, "Well, I actually know a little bit about cooking, so let me help if you don't mind?"

   "Oh~! Is it okay?"

   "Yes, it's okay. I was the one who interrupted you first, so I'm really embarrassed to just sit like this."

   "Okay ~ then please help me."

  …

   As a result, Asami saw the astonishing proficiency of knife skills.

   "Good, amazing...!"

   "Where, anyone can do this level as long as they practice for a while."

   "Sayu, you are quite humble. I don't think there is anything I can do to help you."

   "Nothing like that, I can't do anything without the ingredients you bought, Mami."

   "You don't need to comfort me. Speaking of which, Sayu, you said that you came to find Xiaoxiang, right?"

   "Yes, but since I haven't contacted her beforehand, it doesn't look like she's there."

   "That's right, they just went to Chino City to sleep together yesterday, and they probably won't come back until the day after tomorrow. It's too unfortunate that you came."

   "It seems so..."

   "So, what do you want to do with her?"

  Sayu paused slightly, and said vaguely: "Well... I have a little private matter and I want to ask Miss Xinjo."

   "That's it."

  Asami responded noncommittally, and didn't ask any further questions, but said with a smile: "Well~ Anyway, thanks to Sayu, my work seems to be successfully completed today."

"Work…?"

   "Hmm! It's the work of volunteers, didn't I say that?"

   "Volunteer...do you mean cooking for Miss Muzi?"

   "Yes, yes ~ this is part of the work of the association, and there are other recording tasks."

  【Association】

  Hearing this word again, Sayu couldn't help asking.

   "Well, Asami, what do you mean by association?"

   "Well—to put it simply, it's an organization that provides help to girls who are in trouble, right?"

"what…?"

   "It means you have seen Xiao Muzi downstairs, right? She is the one we are helping now."

   "Uh...but, didn't Miss Muzi say that she ran away from home? Aren't you friends?"

   "No, we just take her here and provide her with board and lodging."

"what…?"

  Sayu couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and unconsciously blurted out: "What about taking in, isn't that kind of thing illegal?"

  Asami laughed and kept waving her hands.

   "Generally speaking, it's like that, but our side is legal because it's recognized by the government~"

   "Sorry, I still don't quite understand... Is there such a custom in Tokyo?"

   "Ahaha, no, no, this has nothing to do with Tokyo, didn't Xiaoxiang tell you?"

   "Miss Xintiao?"

  Sayu turned her head in wonder, with a confused look on her face.

  She remembered clearly that when that person brought her here last time, he said that this was the place of Xintiaoxiang.

  The latter didn't explain it to her later, and she was immersed in a sad atmosphere at the time, and she didn't have any extra thoughts to ask these insignificant things.

  Because of this, she has always regarded this place as Xinjoxiang's apartment.

However…

   "Hmm! Our "OSY" association is an organization that specializes in helping girls in need. "

  Asami explained carefully:

   "Xiaoxiang and Xiaoxi are full members of the association, I am a volunteer who has just arrived here, and Muzi is the object of help, do you understand?"

   "Is that so..."

  Sayu nodded her head slowly, muttering in her mouth.

  OSY Association, OSY Association, OSY Association.

   This string of awkward and meaningless words sounds both serious and funny, exuding a somewhat magical atmosphere.

  ‘It’s almost like writing my name...’

  She couldn't help shaking her head amusedly, and took a small breath.

   "Thank you for your explanation, Asami, I understand."

   "It's just a little thing, you're welcome."

   "Excuse me, may I ask another question?"

   "Problem? Well, just say it."

   "Since it's to help Miss Muzi prepare dinner, wouldn't it be more convenient to actually cook at her side?"

   "—That won't work."

"Eh?"

  For some reason, Mami, who was smiling just now, suddenly became serious, her slightly slender eyes showing a bit of seriousness.

   "Actually, Xiao Muzi's situation is a bit special, so she can't cook downstairs...or in other words, it doesn't have the conditions to cook there."

   Sayu remained silent and asked her to continue talking.

"It means Xiao Muzi, don't look at her as an ordinary person, but she has suffered psychological trauma because of her family relationship, and she will do things that hurt herself from time to time, so we take away all knives and other things gone."

"what…?"

   Sayu couldn't help being stunned by the unexpected speech, but Asami raised her hands and pointed to her forearms on both sides, her tone became low.

   "Have you seen the long-sleeved dress Xiao Muzi wears? The scars hidden under her sleeves are like centipedes with long legs. She made them all by herself."

   "Cheating...?"

   Sayu said in astonishment, her amber pupils slightly dilated.

   She tried to imagine that scene, only to feel a chill rushing down her spine, and her body tensed unconsciously.

   Seeing her nervousness, Asami gently patted her shoulder.

   "Don't worry, Xiao Muzi is normal most of the time, and we have also invited a doctor to treat her regularly, so it doesn't matter."

   After comforting her, Mami went on to say:

   "Anyway, I'll leave it to you here. I'll sort out today's purchase receipts. If you need help, just call me."

   "Ah...okay."

   Sha Duo nodded and agreed, watching the other party go to the desk and sit down, and took out a binder to work.

  ‘So this is work too…’

   she couldn't help thinking, before turning her attention to cooking as well.

  …

   Half an hour later, dinner was successfully prepared.

   After delivering a portion to Muzi, the two of them also ate together.

   "It's delicious! What the **** is this? It's so delicious! Sayu, are you a chef? It's so delicious!"

   After taking a bite of food, Asami's eyes widened in astonishment, chattering like a machine gun.

  Sayu responded slightly cautiously:

   "I'm sorry, because I don't have many kinds of ingredients at home, so I only made omurice. Is this okay?"

   "Awesome, this is really delicious! It seems to be better than Xiao Xi's craftsmanship! You are too strong!"

"Is that right?"

   "Of course! This omelet rice is the best food I have ever eaten today, super happy!"

  Asami patted her thigh exaggeratedly, and she didn't hesitate to praise her, which made Sayu feel a little embarrassed.

  Although she couldn't say why, she unexpectedly didn't hate the other person's personality, and she faintly felt very nostalgic.

  The two chatted while eating, and the same age and status made them feel close to each other when they got along.

   When Sayu said that she also stayed downstairs for one night before, Mami asked curiously.

   "Hey, Sayu sister, have you ever run away from home? Is it because you have a bad relationship with your family?"

  The temperature of the other party's question is very strange. It's not that she is very interested in her, but it's not that she lacks interest but still asks for the time being.

  Sayu thought so, with a natural smile on her face.

   "It's not like that. I didn't do such a rebellious thing. It's just that there was some special reason at the time, so someone took me here to stay for one night."

   "That's it~ Since you said "others", it means it's not Xiaoxiang and Xiaoxi, right? "

   "Well, not them."

   "Hey~ In that case..."

  Asami snorted, paused and said, "The only person who brought you here is Katozai?"

"-Eh?"

  Sayu's heartbeat suddenly missed half a beat, she raised her head suddenly, and asked with her lips whispering: "That... this name..."

   "Name? Ah, you mean Kato Tsai? That's my neighbor, a super handsome guy, and the founder of this organization. You may have heard his name, his name is—"

   "—Yusuke Kato."

  The loud shouting resounded throughout the room, making Mami's shoulders tremble.

   "Wow, I was scared to death. Why are you so excited? Are you also his fan?"

   "..."

   Sayu bit her lip tightly and remained silent.

   OSY Association, OSY Association, OSY Association.

  Heart beat heavily.

"……fraud."

   "Eh? Sayu sister, what are you talking about?"

   "Ah...no, I'm not talking about Mami you..."

"Is it…?"

  Asami frowned, and promised in doubt.

   "...Well, Mami, it's a bit presumptuous, but may I ask?"

"what?"

   Sayu took a deep breath and sat up straight, "I want you to tell me, what should I do if I want to stay here as a volunteer?"

   "Volunteer..."

  Asami narrowed her eyes slightly, pondered for a moment and said:

   "Well, in fact, I didn't encounter any obstacles when I came here. I just met Xiaoxiang and Xiaoxi and passed it smoothly, so I think I should contact Xiaoxiang for this kind of thing."

   "Is that so... Sorry, I'm going outside to make a phone call."

   "OK~ Remember to wear a coat, it's very cold outside."

"OK."

  Sayu nodded gratefully, rushed to the entrance with her phone and coat, then put on her coat and shoes and walked outside.

   After confirming that the door was closed, she called Xinjoxiang.

  …

  By the time she ended the call and returned to the room, Mami had already finished her omelet rice and was lazily leaning on a cloth bag sofa to digest.

   "How is it? Have you contacted Xiao Xiang?"

   "Well... contacted."

  Sayu breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on her little face flushed by the cold wind, she sniffed and said, "Miss Xinjo said yes."

   "That's it, that's good."

  Asami nodded indifferently, and pointed to the plate on the table.

   "By the way, because you called for too long and the omurice was cold, so I warmed it up in the microwave for you, hurry up and eat~"

   "Huh? Ah, um, thanks."

   "You're welcome~"

  Sayu went to the table and sat down, looking alternately at the omurice in front of her and the other person's face, she couldn't help but said, "Well... Mami, don't you ask me why?"

   "Reason...? Are you referring to the matter of why you want to join the association?"

   "..."

  Sayu silently nodded without saying a word.

  Ruo Asami looked sideways at her meaningfully, and grinned, "There's nothing to ask about that kind of thing, right?"

"…what?"

   "Anyway, you are probably because of Kato Tsai's relationship? Do you want to get the moon first?"

   "Ah, that, I'm actually..."

   "Okay, okay, I was just joking, you don't need to be so nervous, calm down."

"Oh…"

   "Besides, I don't really care whether you are doing it for Kato Sai or something else. Just do what you want, Sayu."

   "Is that so..."

  Asami "Hey~" propped up her body with a sound, and said with a smile:

   "Oh, I don't know why, even though Sayu and I just met for the first time today, I still feel very nostalgic, as if we have known each other for a long time."

  Sayu tilted her head slightly, thought for a while and said, "You mean hitting it off?"

   "That's right! That's it! Hit it off~!"

  Asami laughed heartily and held out a hand.

   "I always feel that we might become good friends, let's get to know each other again ~ I'm Yuuki Asami, please give me more advice from now on, Sayu."

  Sayu looked at the hand stretched out in front of her, blinked her eyes twice cutely, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

   "Hey, what's up? Did I say something weird?"

   "Aha... no, it's not like that..."

  Sayu laughed so that her shoulders trembled, then raised her head and covered her mouth and said, "I just think it's really funny that Mami suddenly speaks in such a serious tone."

  Hearing what she said, Mami couldn't help showing a bad expression on her face, her cheeks turned red visibly, and immediately slapped her on the shoulder in embarrassment.

   "Stupid! Why are you laughing! It's so annoying!"

   "Sorry sorry~"

  Sayu couldn't help waving her hands, trying to calm down her emotions, then put away her smile and stretched out a hand.

   "...Sorry, let's do it again. My name is Ogiwara Sayu. Nice to meet you. Please give me your advice in the future, Asami."

  Mami scratched her hair with a displeased face, and muttered, "Really, you should have said that earlier."

  At the age of 18, this winter when the third year of high school ended.

   Both hands were clasped together.
