"Kato-kun."

Hasumi Kanoko showed a reassuring smile, sighed and said: "You are finally back. Have you finished handling the affairs of the association?"

Kato Yusuke hummed in affirmation.

"Really? That's good." Hasumi Kanoko nodded, and then asked slightly reproachfully: "I called you many times, didn't you see it?"

"Sorry, my phone is broken and I can't answer it."

Kato Yusuke took out his mobile phone to show it. No content could be seen clearly on the cracked screen, as if it would break at any time.

"That's it." Seeing that Kanoko understood, Ren looked calmly to the left and right, blinked and said:

"Although I understand your feeling of rushing on your way, please don't do this next time, or at least use the public phone to let us know that you are safe."

Kato Yusuke's eyes moved slightly, knowing that she was speaking for him. Just as he was about to express his position, Hui took a step forward.

"Yusuke, don't you have anything to say about Miss Sayu?"

"Well...she had already solved the problem when I arrived at the scene."

"Ah, yes? That's great, but that's not what I'm asking."

The girl stared into his eyes and asked in a nonchalant tone: "Can you please be honest with us about the relationship between you and Miss Sayu?"

As soon as he said this, everyone looked over.

Kato Yusuke froze for a moment and clenched his fists involuntarily.

"...She used to be a very important person to me, but she is no longer..."

Everyone listened silently, with no surprise on their faces.

Through what he did today, everyone present could realize the special nature of Sayu. The focus of the question is why.

Hui shook his head slightly and continued to ask.

"I'm sorry, this statement is too ambiguous. Otherwise, I'd better ask another way. Yusuke, is there anything in the past between you and Miss Sayu?"

"..."

Kato Yusuke closed his mouth tightly and said nothing.

This was the only thing he planned to keep as a lifelong secret.

Because, it's really too unseemly.

Because, it is too willful.

Because, it is too childish.

Because I am really sorry for others.

In addition, it is also because it is too absurd.

How should he explain that he was just chasing a shadow?

Silence dominated the scene, amplifying the dullness and depression of summer.

Kato Yusuke looked at the faces of the four people in front of him, closed his eyes briefly, and then slowly opened them, "...she was once the person I planned to spend the rest of my life with."

"

"

——!""""

Everyone's bodies trembled, and they unconsciously held their breath, waiting for his more specific explanation.

Kato Yusuke lowered his eyes and stared at something on the ground without focus: "You may not believe it, but we met a year ago..."

"...A year ago." Hui Qing frowned and thought for a moment, "I remember Miss Sayu went to high school in her hometown, right? So you met in Hokkaido?"

"It's not like this."

Kato Yusuke shook his head, took a deep breath, and spoke in a slightly deep voice:

"I met her in Tokyo... I actually came from another time and space."

"

"

Huh……?""""

The four girls opened their eyes wide in astonishment. No matter how many plots they had imagined before, they were still speechless by this astonishing statement.

Immediately afterwards——

"Ah, that's right." Hui said expressionlessly: "Sorry, everyone, I have to go back today. Goodbye."

After she finished speaking, she stopped looking at someone's face, turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

"Kato-san (Megumi)!"

Seeing that Kanoko and Eiri were at a loss, Hassan finally turned his attention to the culprit that caused all this.

"Awesome." Shiyu clapped her hands gently, her tone full of sarcasm: "I never realized that compared to drawing comics and playing games, Yusuke, maybe you are more suitable for writing novels~"

"Xiao Shi, I..."

"Seriously, can't you find a better excuse? Even if you say you fell in love with her at first sight, is it better than this?"

Hasumi Kanoko nodded in agreement and scolded softly: "Kato-kun, this kind of joke is really inappropriate."

Ying Lili put her hands on her waist and agreed, "You idiot, go apologize to Hui."

Shiyu looked contemptuous and cold: "Okay, there's no point in staying any longer. The three of us should go back."

Eirili: "Huh? Where are you going back? Why did you count me in? I still have something to say to Yusuke, so I won't go back!"

"Don't talk nonsense, just follow me."

As Shiyu said this, she pulled Kanoko Hasumi and Eri Riri towards the station.

As he passed by, a cold word came to Kato Yusuke's ears.

Shiyu: "You seem to have forgotten that I hate deception the most."

Kato Yusuke was speechless and looked at Zhenzhan as everyone left and didn't know how to stop him.

In just a few minutes, the scene was completely gone.

Not far away, Xiangaru Zhen ran away when he saw that the situation was not good.

Yoshida hesitated for a moment, then walked over, "Um, Kato, are you okay?"

Kato Yusuke raised his head and said bravely that it was okay.

"Sigh... That's fine. What are you going to do next? The celebration party... probably can't be held. Do you want to find a shop to have a drink together? Of course, you can only drink drinks."

"Isn't it too miserable to drink with an uncle? Forgive me for refusing."

Yoshida was stunned for a moment, with a helpless smile on his face.

He shook his head and said angrily: "You kid is still in the mood to joke and make me worry in vain."

His tone was reproachful, but his eyes were full of concern for his younger generation.

"Thank you, Mr. Yoshida." Kato Yusuke looked deeply at his neighbor and chuckled: "I will take care of the matter as soon as possible, and the celebration party will be held until then."

"Oh, I don't have any problem..."

Yoshida stared at him for a while, as if searching for the true emotion in his eyes, and finally raised his palm and struck his head with a knife.

"If you really deserve it, you should be so carefree. Remember to come to me if you need anything. Let's go first."

Kato Yusuke smiled bitterly and nodded, watching Yoshida walk towards Mishima Yuba. The two waved to him and left quickly.

He leaned against the cold fence of the overpass and stared numbly at the endless flow of vehicles below.

The late sunset shines on the tall buildings, giving off a cold feeling unique to the city.

The air was mixed with the smell of gasoline and soot, which was not pleasant. When the hot summer wind blew, the smell rose to the sky.

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but laugh at himself.

All along, he has been making wrong choices, unilaterally thinking that he can take care of everyone.

Such an attitude is really arrogant and terrible, so it's his own fault for falling into this situation.

Shiyu's slap was like a wake-up call, reminding him that it was time to make changes.

But before that——

There is one more thing he must do.

'Just think of it as an end to everything.' Yusuke Kato thought silently, turned around and walked off the overpass.

…

That evening, An Yilun came home.

A group of people from "blessing software" came here and were going to play the games they bought at the venue.
