Chapter 34 The first encounter with a consumer house
Snapped--!
"I'm no longer a human being!"
His eyes widened, the table was smacked, and the Yamaguchi family's little brother let out an amazing tongue-picking sound.
"Kato——! You bastard——!!!"
"What kind of childhood sweetheart!? Apologize to me quickly, Kou Ya——!"
The store suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at her strangely.
"What, what's wrong?"
"quarrel?"
"Which school are you a student of?"
"It's too rude."
"That...this customer." The clerk came over from the side and said to Yamaguchi Takashi with a troubled look on her face: "This will cause trouble for other customers, so please be quiet."
The thinking ability that was temporarily stripped away due to impulse gradually recovered. Listening to the whispers coming from around him, Yamaguchi Takashi couldn't help but blush. Then——
"Hello-?Moxi Moxi?"
He put the mobile phone to his ear, pretending to be talking to someone, and walked out of the restaurant in a morose manner, leaving a cool figure behind everyone.
A few minutes later.
Buzz——
There was a tremor in his pocket. Yusuke Kato took out his phone and opened the screen, only to see a new email received on it.
[Sender: Yamaguchi Takashi]
[Content: I am outside the door, please help me get my schoolbag, thank you!!!]
Kato Yusuke's eyes became profound.
Although your arrogance is cool, you are really embarrassed when you pretend to answer the phone.
He closed the phone and flicked his fingernails on the rim of the Coke glass.
Keng——
A slightly high-pitched yet crisp voice reached the ears of the two of them.
"Won't you reply to the email?"
Sayu said while suppressing a laugh.
"Is it from Takashi?" Takei Ichiro looked over doubtfully: "What did it say?"
Kato Yusuke smiled and said nothing, laying his mobile phone flat on the table for the two of them to check by themselves.
then.
Sayu couldn't help but chuckle: "How pitiful."
"Indeed."
Takei also shrugged his shoulders and nodded in agreement.
"He brought it upon himself."
Kato Yusuke ate a sandwich and said, "He will come back naturally after he has stayed outside enough."
"Eh? Is this good——?"
Sayu smiled bitterly and said, "That person seems quite stubborn. He probably won't come back, right?"
Kato Yusuke chewed the food in his mouth, looked around, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I don't rule out this possibility..."
He looked across: "Takei, have you finished eating?"
"It's done, it's done."
He looked at Sayu again: "Where is Sayu?"
"I've eaten too."
"Really." Kato Yusuke nodded, stuffed the last piece of sandwich into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Then let's go."
He asked the waiter to pay the bill.
By the way, in addition to his and Sayu's share, Yamaguchi Takashi's money was also paid by Kato Yusuke.
After paying the bill, the three people who packed their things walked out the door together. When they were almost at the door, two boys who looked like students pushed the door open and entered.
This is nothing special at first. Since this "Gusto" is located on the road after school, students from nearby often come here to have gatherings and so on.
The appearance of the two of them is also ordinary, with green faces showing the childishness unique to this age group, and they are talking about something with high spirits at this time.
The only thing worth noting...
"Huh?"
Ichiro Takei exclaimed: "Our school's uniform?"
Yes, those two boys were wearing the uniforms of the private Toyosaki Academy.
Kato Yusuke looked back at Takei: "Familiar?"
"Uh...that's not the case." Ichiro Takei shook his head and said, "But we did meet each other occasionally in the corridor during recess. I think we are from Class A."
Kato Yusuke nodded noncommittally.
Unlike Takei, he rarely hangs out in school except when necessary. This is not only related to his personality, but also related to the fact that his time is occupied by part-time work.
In fact, since the beginning of school for more than a month, he can't even name most of his classmates in the class, and he only interacts with a few people every day.
If other people's high schools are full of pink life like cherry blossoms, then Kato Yusuke's high school is a monotonous black and white life.
He doesn't think there's anything wrong with this. Whether you say he's arrogant or unsociable, at least he doesn't think he's qualified to enjoy life until his debt problem is solved.
(I really don’t understand why that old man insists on letting me finish college. There are quite a few people who go out to work after middle school, right?)
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself, with a slightly indifferent expression on his face.
"……what's on your mind?"
A cold little hand was pressed into his.
Sayu raised her head slightly, staring over with her amber eyes. Her gentle yet firm gaze penetrated directly into Yusuke Kato's heart, instantly dispelling all the haze.
"nothing……"
The lines on his face gradually softened, and Yusuke Kato exhaled a breath and said.
"let's go."
"Um."
The girl nodded gently with a bright smile and followed him forward.
As the distance between the two parties continued to get closer, the topics the boys were talking about also clearly reached the ears of Kato Yusuke and others.
"Speaking of which, Lun Ye, do you have "The Kiss of Empty Care" over there?"
"You're asking..."A Kiss with Effortless Care"?"
"Yes, the beautiful girl game that was released this year is said to be quite good. The original game is also an adult game. I think you must be paying attention to it."
"...So what?"
"Lend it to me. You've already reached the end of the game anyway."
"Who cares about you, just buy the game you want to play."
"I'm different from you. I don't have money."
"Please, I have money because I work hard to buy games and animations. Don't mistake my purpose and means."
"What, I thought you bought it, Lun Ye."
"Well, I bought it at ten o'clock in the morning on the day of release."
The boy with short hair and a pair of big round glasses said in a rather proud tone.
"And it includes the first limited edition original art book and the five-piece original soundtrack, and the net weight is 1.8 kilograms! The total cost is 9,800 yen!"
Hearing this, Kato Yusuke, who was passing by, couldn't help but pause in his steps, and then coughed violently.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
"Are you...are you okay?"
Sayu patted his shoulder and asked worriedly.
"……fine."
Kato Yusuke shook his head, then raised his head and glanced at the boy with a strange look.
The boy who noticed the movement happened to look over at this moment, and their eyes met in the air.
After three seconds
Kato Yusuke nodded slightly to the other side, then walked out of the restaurant.
