MTL - Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home-Chapter 650 it's not your fault

  Chapter 650 The fault is not you

  Among the crowded crowd, the girl quietly closed her eyes and opened her mouth slightly.

  The psychedelic lights dyed her hair a tawny color and spread it over her shoulders.

  The black eyelashes are long and thick, trembling slightly with the eyelids, the fair skin is soft and delicate, and the straight nose is cute and charming.

  The lips seemed to have grown a pink flower, exhaling a faint scent mixed with a touch of sweetness, which made people want to kiss involuntarily.

   Kato Yusuke stared at this delicate and lovely face, only felt that every eyebrow and every glance were extremely familiar, and felt sad in his heart.

  He didn't do anything, he lifted Sayu up with a little force in his hands, and then let go of him.

   At the same time, the amazing performance on the stage came to an end.

  The four girls in the band looked at the audience with a little panting, their eyes sparkling, and finally the guitarist who served as the lead singer gave a speech and closed the curtain.

   "This is the end band~☆! Thank you everyone for coming to our performance today~~~! Really, thank you very very—!"

   Slowly, the audience burst into applause and cheers.

  In such an atmosphere, Yusuke Kato left LiveHouse and went outside.

   Now night falls, the streets of Shimokitazawa are brightly lit.

  Many bars, restaurants, shops, and stores are in full swing, and there are people lined up in front of the shops.

  The streets are filled with all kinds of music and sounds, from rock music to electronic music, from lively laughter to warm conversation.

  The whole street seems to be a huge dance party, full of young people and nightlife.

  Yusuke Kato walked into a secluded alley alone and stopped in front of the vending machine on the side of the road.

  The cold light of the machine illuminated his face, forming a blurred shadow on the glass.

   "Yusuke."

  The girl entered the alley a step slower than him, her eyes stopped at him and the vending machine respectively, thought for a while and said:

   "Are you thirsty? I'll buy you a drink. You like to drink oolong tea, right? Can you choose this?"

   "...almost enough."

"Huh?"

  Yusuke Kato said a little tiredly: "How long do you want to follow...?"

   Bang, click.

  Sayu bent down, retrieved the drink and change from the vending machine, then stretched out a hand, "Yusuke, here's your oolong tea."

   Kato Yusuke took a deep look at her, then turned and left.

   "—Yusuke!"

   Sayu was in a hurry and quickly followed behind him.

   "Well, speaking of it, I want to pay you back the money you gave me...!"

   "..."

   "Ah, can you walk a little slower? I really appreciate you being so considerate of me, but I'm alright!"

   "..."

  “Whether it’s my brother or my mother, they care and take care of me very much now, including tuition fees for college and living expenses. This is true!”

   "..."

   "It's also the same in school, no one will bully me anymore! I am no longer the poor little one who has no one to take care of and always needs your protection to live."

   "..."

   "So... I don't matter anymore, you don't have to worry about me anymore. Teachers and classmates are very friendly to me and always give me special treatment... Do you know what they call me? They call me a hero..."

   "..."

   "Ah ha ha... Obviously things are not like that at all. I just blindly enjoy your sacrifices and get love from you again and again... There is no one worse than me in the world..."

   "..."

   "Really... Without Yusuke, I probably can't do anything. I can't resist Youyue... I can't reconcile with my mother... And the matter of Yuzi must be... All of these are your credit—!"

  The suddenly raised voice made people couldn't help casting their eyes, curiously looking at them in a hurry.

  Sayu didn't care about these things, but just focused on chasing the figure in front of him.

   "I'm sorry, Yusuke... You must have felt wronged and sad for causing you so much harm, right?

  If it weren't for me, you obviously wouldn't have to go through this...I'm sorry, I took your life away. "

   She ran while talking, her eyes full of pain and self-blame.

  The hustle and bustle of the crowd hindered her footsteps, causing her to stop and avoid from time to time, but the other party seemed to be unaffected at all, and the distance was gradually widening.

   Realizing that she was about to lose track of her, Sayu turned her heart away and sped up her pace to catch up again, but accidentally bumped into a passerby who was walking towards her.

   Pop!

   "Ouch! It hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts!"

  A young-looking man with fashionable short hair clutched his right shoulder, his face distorted and hissing in pain.

  His companion supported his body and asked with concern: "Hey, are you all right! How are you?"

  Knowing that he was wronged, Sayu hurried up, bent over to apologize to the former, "Yes, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it. Excuse me, is it okay?"

   "Damn it, it hurts me to death! What's wrong with you guy! You don't have eyes when you walk... eh—?"

  The short-haired man suddenly froze in the middle of speaking, staring straight at Sayu who kept apologizing, and didn't react until he was bumped by his companion with the shoulder.

   They glanced at each other, and at the same time saw a look of eagerness and surprise on each other's faces—"This girl is so cute!"

  Looking at each other, the two reached a consensus.

"Well…"

  The short-haired man grinned and rubbed his shoulders, and deliberately said in a reproachful tone: "What did you do? My shoulder was hit by you and it's about to fall apart!"

  The man with earrings next to him also said: "Oh, you are too careless to run even though you know there are so many people on the street?"

   "Yes... I'm really sorry, I apologize to you, I'm sorry." Sayu bowed guiltily.

   "Huh? What's the use of just apologizing? I feel like my shoulder is going to be dislocated! How are you going to compensate me?"

   "Yeah, you've knocked people down like this, so you should show some sincerity?"

   "Well, if you want money... I have about 30,000 yen on me. I'm very sorry for bumping into you. If you don't mind, please accept it."

   Sayu took out the wallet while talking, took out all the money in it except coins, and handed it to the short-haired man.

  The short-haired man glanced at the money in his hand, then continued to hold his shoulder and cry out for pain.

  The ear stud man smiled and said: "Well—the problem is, this money alone can't cure the dislocation, right?"

"But I only have these now, otherwise can you take them first? I can leave your phone numbers, and I will definitely make up the money later! I really have a very urgent matter now, please let me I'll leave first."

   Sayu took out her mobile phone and prepared to write down their phone number.

  However, how could the two men be willing to let it go.

   "Hey, hey, what's the matter with your attitude? You want to run away after hitting someone? You're too arrogant!"

   "Oh, this kind of behavior is really not good. It's not right for us to be stuck here all the time, otherwise we should find a quiet place and have a good chat?"

  The man with the earrings walked up while talking, flirtatiously trying to put his hand on Sayu's shoulder, but was avoided by the master.

   "What are you trying to do...?"

  Sayu frowned, took a step back, put her phone back in her pocket, and became vigilant.

  A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the man with stud earrings, he put on a smile that he thought was handsome, and waved his hand in front of his chest.

   "You don't need to be so nervous. We are all college students around here, not bad people. We just want to discuss with you how to solve this matter. By the way, are you a student? Can we get to know each other if it's convenient?"

   As he spoke, he stretched out his hand again and reached for Sayu's shoulder, but the master grabbed his wrist with one hand and pressed his shoulder with the other.

   rustling.

  Sayu, who turned his body sideways, took a step forward, pressed his center of gravity down while exerting force on his hands, and kicked his left leg vigorously with his right foot.

   "Whoa—!"

  The man with the stud ear suddenly lost his balance, and fell to the ground after being kicked. Before he could react, a straight punch hit his chest hard.

boom-!

   "—Puffa!"

  The man with the stud earrings was beaten so badly that he almost lost his breath.

   "Hey! Smelly Sanba what are you doing—!?"

  The short-haired man behind widened his eyes in shock, and stopped covering his shoulders. Dang even raised his fist and charged forward, but Sayu moved faster than him.

  Don't care about the ear stud man on the ground, the girl stood up nimbly, raised her right leg and kicked the short-haired man's abdomen, and kicked him out, making a muffled "boom!"

   "Pfft—!"

  The short-haired man staggered and fell to the ground, holding his stomach with his hands, his body arched like a shrimp.

   In just two short breaths, he followed in the footsteps of the man with the earrings.

  Sayu stood awe-inspiringly at the same spot, looking at the two lying on the ground wailing coldly, "I'm still a high school student, do I need to call the police?"

   "Damn...!"

   "Where did this female Tyrannosaurus come from! Remember it for us!"

  The short-haired man and the stud-eared man gritted their teeth and said harsh words, gave her a hateful look, and ran away in despair.

   Passers-by stared at this scene dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that this cute girl had such strong power, and they were amazed.

  Sayu loosened her tense shoulders slightly, glanced around shyly, and hurriedly left the scene.

  She ran all the way to find him, but she didn't see that person until she reached the station. She couldn't help biting her lips unwillingly.

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

   "—You learned self-defense from Mr. Lin?"

  Sha Xian was taken aback for a moment, then turned around suddenly, tears came out in a flash.

"…Uh-huh!"

  She couldn't help nodding, weeping with joy, "Yusuke... I thought I lost you again."

  The moonlight fell, reflecting her slender figure into silver.

   Kato Yusuke looked at that innocent face, and clenched his fists in the pockets of the sweater unconsciously.

   "...You know? Changing your life is the most regretful thing I've ever done in my life."

  His voice was a little hoarse, low and deep as if covered by a layer of fog.

   Sayu didn't understand the meaning of this, but felt that he was really lonely at the moment, so lonely that it made her throat choke.

"…Really sorry."

   She lowered her head and wiped her tears, saying sorry that she didn't even understand.

  Although I don't understand the reason, but I must be the one who is wrong, and Yusuke can't be wrong!

   She owes him too much...

  Amidst the silence, a slight murmur floated in the air on the breeze.

   "...not...you."

"…Huh?"

   Sayu raised her face with tears in her eyes, and followed the whisper.

  The boy stood there quietly, his silver hair fluttering gently with the gentle evening wind.

  He turned his back to the cold moon, and there was a vague loneliness in his deep eyes. The moonlight shone on his face, adding a bit of melancholy.

  The surrounding people passed by him, as if they had become a blurred background board, isolating him from the world.

   "...you...suke?"

  Sayu unconsciously took a step forward, an indescribable chill ran up her spine from the soles of her feet, and suddenly felt that the other party seemed to be going to a far away place.

  In order to get rid of this baseless absurd idea, she shook her head vigorously.

   "...I haven't finished what I said before. Yusuke, I want to give you back what you did for me."

   Kato Yusuke asked quietly: "...what else?"

   “Start with that money, and then — everything.”

   A short silence.

   "I don't need any of these."

   "If you refuse to accept it, I will donate that money to your... No, it is our association!"

"us…"

   "Well! Because... you used my name to create an organization, and I will cherish it."

   "...that wasn't made for you."

   "I don't care about that kind of thing! Even if it's a fantasy, I won't change my mind, and then—please let me stay and work in the association."

   A few seconds passed.

   "Give me a reason."

   "Reason..."

   Sayu murmured and pressed her chest, took a deep breath, her eyes were shining with firm light.

   "Because I'm going to prove it to you—

  I am no longer that little girl who needs your protection. I have the ability to help others, and I want to help others.

  Sayu Ogiwara could not have what she is today without your dedication, so...you must...look at me carefully! "

  Yusuke Kato lowered his eyelids, with a faint desolation on his face, he said silently: "That kind of thing...it doesn't really matter."

   "Then will you let me stay? Won't you drive me away—?"

   "I don't care about the association."

"if it is like this."

   Sayu immediately said:

   "Actually, I have also helped the association in the past two days.

  Ms. Shinjo, Ms. Serizawa, Ms. Muzi and Asami all agree that I am qualified for this job.

  However, I still want your permission. "

  Yusuke Kato silently raised his eyes, stared at her face mixed with tension and determination, and then said calmly: "As you wish."

   After finishing speaking, he turned and walked into the station.

  The girl didn't follow this time, but just thanked and apologized to him behind her.

However-

  What is wrong with Sayu now?

  The person who killed that crybaby with his own hands...wasn't he himself?

  So, it's not her fault, but him.

   Kato Yusuke paused and strode forward.

  The so-called memory is just a mirage that cannot go back.

  Looking back on the past, what comes one after another is the gathering and parting, separation and ups and downs in life. The brilliance that was once owned needs to be repaid with memory after all.

  But even so—!

  Even if everyone in this world has forgotten that poor crybaby, he must remember it,

   It was his sin, and he must be held accountable for it.

  So, he will never be able to accept Sayu as he is today.

  …
