281, the knot of memory (4000)(1/2)
Click, click, click, click, click.
"Hey~"
The sound of the turning gears and the melodious trumpet sound came to my ears together.
Looking at the girl who was struggling to get the trolley filled with large and small bags out of the store.
Uchiyama Kenta, who was drinking soda, couldn't help but widen his eyes and said subconsciously: "Are you going to empty out my mother-in-law's shop??"
"Huh?"
Sayu raised his head and said, "No, these are the things I want to buy, and I have already paid for them."
"Well……"
Although he was the one who took the initiative to ask the question, Uchiyama Kenta did not expect that the other party would answer the question so naturally, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.
With a burst of anxiety in my heart, I blurted out one sentence: "Are the women in Tokyo too good to eat?"
Finished speaking——
"Eh?"
"scare!"
Both sides were stunned for a moment.
It's just that one party is confused, and the other party is panicked.
Looking at his face for a moment, Sayu tilted his head slightly and said, "These are for seven people."
After finishing speaking, he added: "Although I am not from Tokyo, as far as I know, their appetite is not that big."
"Oh, oh...!"
Kenta Uchiyama responded calmly, but felt his face was burning like fire.
But because his skin is originally dark, you can't tell any difference unless you look closely.
My heart was in chaos, and I was speechless for a moment.
Seeing this, Sayu had no intention of talking to him. He just nodded out of politeness and prepared to leave.
"that…!"
The young man suddenly called her out.
"……yes?"
Sayu turned around and looked with doubts in her eyes.
Her shoulder-length hair is soft and loose, like a shampoo commercial on TV.
Her skin is also very white and shiny, much better than the girls in her school.
In my impression, there seems to be only one figure who can match her in this aspect, but it also lacks an indescribable feeling.
This was what Kenta Uchiyama was thinking when he was silent.
"--Excuse me."
Sayu asked, "Is there something wrong?"
These words also brought Kenta, who was wandering in his thoughts, back to his senses, and then he pointed at the shopping bags on the cart.
"If you buy all the Bozi sodas like this, it will cause me a lot of trouble."
"Um?"
A pair of thin eyebrows frowned slightly.
Sayu felt even more confused and said thoughtfully, "I don't think that's the case. There are still a few bottles in the store."
"...the one with cantaloupe flavor." Uchiyama Kenta said in a dull voice, "That's what I like to drink. You have the only two bottles left."
After saying that, he picked up the empty bottle left on the table and showed it, as if he was afraid that she wouldn't believe it.
I saw the other person blink, and his eyes alternated between the shopping bags on the cart and him for a moment.
"In that case." Sayu thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll give you these two bottles."
"What?"
"Don't you want it?"
"Uh...no, then I'll give you money."
"No need for that. Are you Yusuke's friend?"
"Ha!?" Kenta, who was slowly taking out money in his shorts pocket, was stunned at first, and then his face suddenly turned cold, "Who is friends with that kind of cold-blooded animal!?"
Hearing this, Sayu's original smiling expression also faded away.
Bang!
Two bottles of Bozi soda were placed heavily on the table.
"Is that so, forget it then, but I'll give this to you anyway."
Even though I was disturbed just now, I was not as angry as I am now.
After giving the dark-skinned boy in front of her a cold look, she prepared to leave.
"Hey... I said that for a reason!" Kenta Uchiyama shouted from behind, but Sayu made up her mind not to respond and just walked towards the cart.
"Really! If you are with that kind of person, you will be left behind sooner or later! It's better to recognize it earlier!"
The girl still kept walking.
See this.
Although he knew how unpleasant what he said was, Uchiyama Kenta continued to say it.
"If you knew what that guy did, you would believe me!"
Sayu's steps suddenly stopped.
"You are such a strange person."
Facing his gloomy gaze, the girl slowly turned her head and said with a frown:
"Although I don't know what happened between you and Yusuke, but if you like that girl, shouldn't you contact her yourself? Why take your anger out on Yusuke?"
Uchiyama Kenta was stunned when he heard this, and then blurted out: "You know? That guy told you??"
Before she could respond, she denied the statement: "It's impossible. He's not the kind of person who would take the initiative to bring up such things, and he would never realize his mistake. He just takes other people's feelings as his own without permission.
Make rubbish!”
‘Should I say this is paranoia or naivety? Even a junior high school student is too immature.’ Looking at the frowning boy in front of him, Sayu couldn’t help but think like this.
Then she thought of the other person's family, and the old man who made her feel a little difficult to get along with, but was extremely kind to her grandson.
So I silently classified him into the category of people who are protected...or spoiled too much.
Thinking of this, my heart stopped arguing for a while.
"——Although I only heard a little bit from Aunt Mina." Sayu asked: "So, do you think it would be better for you that Yusuke should be with that girl?"
Uchiyama Kenta's expression kept changing. After a moment of silence, he said, "I just hate his approach."
"Maybe you think so, but people's values are different, right?" Sayu glanced at him and didn't care about his evasive answer. He said calmly: "But I like Yusuke the most."
"Wha... bah! What's so good about that guy? Xiao Yin is the same, and you are the same."
"Well, I can tell you more than 100 good points about him. But for you who hate Yusuke, there seems to be no point in doing this kind of thing, right?"
The girl paused and said, "Besides, who is Xiao Yin?"
"This has nothing to do with you..." Uchiyama Kenta said with his lips moving.
"Yes, that's true. Sorry to bother you, but I have to leave first."
Click, click.
The sharp grinding sound of gears came from the foot of the cart again.
"I said--!"
Uchiyama Kenta spoke three times: "You would tell me so much and even give me Bozi soda, but it's all just to please that guy, right?"
"Please?" Sayu looked back with a puzzled expression.
"Yes. For example, in order to show your gentle side, you want to erase that guy's despicable behavior. That's the purpose after all, right?"
I couldn't help but feel a bit ridiculous and a bit funny.
The girl naturally knew her relationship and bond with that person, and it was not at all what the other person said.
As Mina Motoyama said, two people who have experienced a lot together are like a knot that is tightly woven together and intertwined.
Said without politeness.
Even though she had never had such thoughts, even if the girl known as "Kogin" appeared in front of Kato Yusuke again, she would be confident that she would be able to overwhelm the childhood sweetheart character.
To be continued...
