After taking Kato Yusuke to the guest room, Ogiwara left.
After a while, Sayu came over after taking a shower. Probably because she didn't find him in her room, the girl seemed a little anxious.
But when I saw him properly appearing in the guest room, I felt relieved again.
Then he asked about the follow-up of his brother and mother, and Yusuke told her about the conversation with Yi Sa. He concealed the conflict between the two and only said that the mother was not in good condition and would have to wait for a while.
As expected, the girl seemed a little frustrated with this situation.
But as Ogiwara Kazusa said, this matter ultimately requires the mother's approval, and they have to accept it if they want to obtain legal status.
Under Yusuke Kato's persuasion, Sayu helped him tidy up his bedding and pajamas, then returned to his room to rest.
After a day of exhaustion, the girl quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Yusuke also returned to the guest room after taking a shower.
In this way, on his first day in Hokkaido, he spent the first night in a strange room.
…
The next morning.
Perhaps due to the impact of being in a strange environment, Kato Yusuke woke up early in the morning.
Look at the time, it's still half past 5 in the morning, and it's dark outside the window.
Since I had no intention of going back to sleep, I just took the toiletries I brought and went to wash up.
After washing up, considering that all three of the Ogihara family were still awake.
After changing into sportswear, he chose to go out for a morning jog.
When I walked to the entrance, I saw that the hole left in the wall yesterday had been covered up by a piece of A4-sized paper, probably the handiwork of Ogiwara Kazusa.
Let's find a construction company to repair it later.
Feeling a little impulsive about his behavior, he thought so as he put on his New Balance running shoes, quietly opened the door and walked out.
As soon as Fang came outside, a cold air that was completely different from Tokyo hit his face, but the air was very fresh.
Looking up, the dim sky just turned bright red, and there were even many stars hanging in the sky. The whole city was still sleeping.
Push open the small iron gate in the yard and walk down a short flight of steps to the road.
Not a single soul could be seen on the street.
If it were Tokyo, a lot of people would have started commuting to work by now.
Thinking about these, I randomly picked a direction, and immediately started to move my legs and start running.
As the second largest city in Hokkaido, the temperature in Asahikawa City is about the same as that of the three domestic provinces of Tohoku, and slightly lower.
At the same time, this place is as famous as Sapporo as a city of ramen. It has a soy sauce soup base that is different from Sapporo's miso soup base, and has a very rich taste.
Considering what Sayu said, there were almost no convenient places here except near the station, so he ran in that direction.
Although Hokkaido has always been famous for its snow scenery and ice sculptures, it was a pity that it didn’t snow when I came here this time, so naturally I couldn’t see the famous beautiful snow scenery.
I still ran while listening to music, all the way to the vicinity of Asahikawa Station.
The surrounding buildings have also changed from ordinary houses with only two or three floors to bustling commercial streets, giving them a little more of an urban feel.
I wanted to find a breakfast shop to buy something, but I didn't know whether I chose the wrong place or came at the wrong time. Yusuke Kato was never able to find a business that was open.
In the end, I had to buy some rice balls, sandwiches and drinks at a convenience store, and then started to turn back.
When we returned to the area near Ogiwara's house, the time happened to be 7:30.
Just when he was thinking about how to enter since he didn't have the key.
But they saw that the car that brought them here yesterday was parked at the door, and there was a person who looked like a driver sitting inside.
After a few minutes, Kazusa Ogiwara, wearing a neat suit, also walked out of the house and saw him outside the door at a glance.
"Kato-kun?" The other party was obviously a little surprised, not knowing why he saw him outside.
"Good morning." Yusuke said hello.
"What are you...?"
"I couldn't sleep, so I went for a morning run."
"Morning jog?? Dressed like this??" Looking at him wearing black long sleeves and sports shorts, Yi Sa couldn't help but be stunned.
Kato Yusuke shrugged and said, "I also bought breakfast, but it only has rice balls and sandwiches. Share some with you."
After saying that, he walked forward and opened the bag for the other party to choose.
"Breakfast..." Ogiwara Kazusa murmured, his eyes lingering on his face for a while, and then he smiled bitterly, "I always feel that you are quite biased."
Then I picked a mentaiko rice ball and chicken rice ball from the shopping bag.
Yusuke raised his eyebrows slightly, very puzzled.
"Are you going to the company?"
"Well, I have some things to arrange."
"What about the guy at home?"
Yisha turned her attention to the bungalow and said, "I just went to see my mother, but she is still sleeping, so you don't have to worry."
"In other words, you plan to let Sayu be alone with her." Kato Yusuke couldn't help but frown.
"So I will come back as soon as possible, and I will leave it to you during this time."
"Don't you think this is problematic?"
"Even if this is the case, there is nothing we can do. As the president, sometimes you can't help yourself."
After saying this with emotion, Ogiwara Kazusa turned to look at him, "Anyway, please be careful not to irritate your mother. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thank you for the breakfast."
After finishing speaking, he was about to get in the car, but was stopped by Kato Yusuke.
"Anything else?"
Facing the inquiry, Yusuke just stared at him steadily, while Yisha also looked at him with doubts.
After about ten seconds.
Kato Yusuke slowly said: "I don't have the key here, so I can't get in."
The other party suddenly showed a surprised expression and handed him the key in his pocket.
"This is my key, take it first."
After saying hello, Ogiwara Kazusa raised his feet and got into the car.
This time, Yusuke did not stop him. After watching the vehicle disappear at the end of the road, he turned around and walked to the door, using the key left by the other party to open the door and enter the house.
The quiet environment clearly showed that the people inside were still sleeping.
Without any intention of wandering around, Kato Yusuke returned directly to the guest room.
While using my mobile phone to search for construction companies that can repair houses, I ate the breakfast I bought.
At this time, a message from Line suddenly popped up on the screen of the mobile phone.
I thought it was just for one person, but when I opened the APP, several messages popped up one after another.
Yamaguchi, Takei, Kako...
Hui, Shiyu-senpai, Hasumi-sensei...
Invariably, everyone was asking him what was wrong, what was wrong with him, etc. The only difference was the tone of greeting.
For example, the Mangkhut brothers are ridiculed in their sand sculptures, while Jiazi is formulaic and caring.
To them, Kato Yusuke simply replied that it was nothing and that he would go back to school in a while.
Then there are others...
[Mei: Good morning, Teacher Nakamura said at the class meeting that you were sick, are you okay? 】
[Senior Shiyu: That blond girl told me that you asked for leave. What happened? 】
[Teacher Hasumi: Good morning, I heard Teacher Nakamura say, have you encountered any difficulties? 】
I thought about it for a while and then replied to each person individually.
[Good morning, thank you for your concern. I'm not sick. I just came to my girlfriend's hometown to deal with some things. I will go back after that. I'm sorry to trouble you about the student union. 】
[Good morning, Shiyu-senpai, I have some important things to do recently. If you have any questions from the student union, you can ask Kato-san. 】
[Good morning, Mr. Hasumi, I will take care of it, you don’t have to worry.]
…
It was half an hour later that I ended my chat with a few people.
I heard a slight sound of opening the door first, followed by a series of light footsteps, walking straight towards here.
The next second.
With a "click" the door rang.
"...Yusuke?"
A little head poked through the crack of the open door and peered into the house.
Gu Qian
"Good morning, did you sleep well?" Kato Yusuke, who was sitting at the table, turned around and said hello with a smile.
Seeing this scene, the other party immediately came over and gave him a bear hug.
Mmm.
"Good morning, Yusuke."
"Let go, I can't breathe anymore."
"It'll be fine in just a moment...please." Sayu murmured, her voice sounded a little weak, causing him to stop moving.
Mmm.
I always feel that everything is soft and fragrant... just like the quilt in the early morning in winter, so warm that people can't help but want to take a nap.
Kato Yusuke couldn't help but yawn, and the warm breath penetrated his skin through the pink pajamas.
The girl hummed "Hmm...", her cheeks turned slightly red, and she instinctively let go of her hand.
"Um, did you go out for a run again...?"
"Well, I originally wanted to buy some special breakfast, but the only food available is convenience store food. Choose what you like."
"That's it, then I'll go wash up first."
Saying this, Sayu quickly walked out of the room and returned here 20 minutes later. The clothes he wore also changed from pajamas to home clothes.
While choosing eel rice balls and soy milk from the shopping bag, he muttered: "Come to think of it, I don't think I've seen my brother."
"He went to the company and said he had something to arrange."
The girl paused for a moment, "...where is mom?"
"He said he would let us take care of him first and contact him if we encounter any problems."
After a moment of silence, Sayu nodded slightly and murmured, "That's it..."
Then we ate the rice balls in silence.
Seeing this scene, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but sigh, "What does your mother like to eat? I'll send it to her."
"Ordinary... will be fine, right?"
"knew."
I randomly selected two sandwiches and rice balls from my shopping bag, added a bottle of oolong tea, then got up and walked out.
"Which room is her room?"
"The end of the corridor, the first room."
"Okay, then you wait for me here."
"……Um."
After glancing at Sayu who was distracted, Kato Yusuke walked out of the guest room with his things and gently closed the door.
According to what the other party said, I went all the way to the end of the corridor on the second floor and stopped in front of a dark wooden door.
Knock, knock, knock.
He raised his hand and knocked slowly on the door three times, waiting quietly.
There was no response from inside.
Knock, knock, knock.
So I repeated it again.
Still no response.
Just when Yusuke wasn't sure if there was anyone inside...
"who is it……?"
A tired and weak female voice came from inside.
"Good morning, madam, I am Kato. I have brought you some breakfast. Do you want to eat it?"
"breakfast……?"
There was a bit of confusion in his voice, as if he didn't understand the situation for a while, or he was a little unfamiliar with his name, which created a gap in thinking.
then.
It seems like I finally found the answer...
"It's you……!"
The sounds inside were slightly aggravated.
"There are sandwiches and rice balls here, what do you want..."
"Get out of here—!"
A sharp roar interrupted his words.
Immediately afterwards——
Puff, bang!
Something like a pillow hit the door panel, causing the door to shake slightly, but it immediately returned to its original state.
Obviously, the other party completely turned him away.
And she didn't want to listen to him at all, and her resisting tone was full of the smell of chasing away insects.
Even though there was a door panel, Kato Yusuke could still feel the eyes of the other party staring at him.
This made him sigh.
"Anyway, I left my things at the door, you can think about it yourself."
"Where's Yisa! Where is my Yisa...?"
"He went to the company, but if you call, I think he will be back soon."
“Didn’t I tell you to get out of here——!!”
The high-pitched sound echoed through the corridor, making my ears numb.
Kato Yusuke said no more, deliberately made footsteps and turned to leave.
After all, there is no point in stimulating the other party at this time.
As if sensing his departure, the sound from the door also became quieter.
Just go all the way back to the guest room.
"You're back……"
Sayu gave him a forced smile, obviously hearing what happened just now.
Kato Yusuke nodded and was about to say something.
Buzz——
The phone in his pants pocket vibrated.
【Ogiwara Kazusa】
After glancing at the contact person above, he pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear.
"Kato-kun."
"it's me."
"Didn't I tell you not to irritate your mother..." the person on the other end of the phone said in a tired tone.
"I just brought her some breakfast."
A brief silence.
"...Mom is very resistant to you. You'd better not do this kind of thing for the time being. Let Sayu do it next time."
Kato Yusuke frowned, first glanced at the girl who was staring at him anxiously, and then said: "I don't think this is a good idea."
Ogiwara Kazusa was silent for a moment again, "Anyway, Sayu will have to face her mother if she wants to get her permission."
"When can you come back?"
"I'll do it as soon as possible, before afternoon."
"good."
The two ended the call.
"Brother, what did he say...?"
"He said he would be back before the afternoon and asked me not to irritate your mother."
"Is this..." Sayu's eyes swayed, he lowered his gaze and whispered, "I'm sorry."
Kato Yusuke reached out and touched her head, smiled and said: "There is nothing to apologize for, this is not your fault."
Seeing that the girl still looked gloomy, he changed the subject and took her to study repairing the wall.
In the following time, neither of them bothered the mother again, and the other mother seemed not to want to meet them and stayed in the room without leaving the door.
The two sides maintained this strange state, allowing time to pass slowly...
