After rebirth, I became Tokyo Sentimental

Chapter 79 78. Their lives seem to have a new intersection
On a cloudy day with heavy rain outside, the biology teacher walked into the classroom after the bell rang, but she was not the only one there.

And that person is Suzumiya Saka.

What attracted Kurosaki Oritsuki was not her unclear but obviously good family background, but her status as a transfer student and her cold and aloof temperament. Even though many boys and girls took the initiative to date her, she did not even respond.

This circle of friends who are as unsociable as herself is exactly what she wants, and all the conditions meet her standards. She has no choice but to choose.

For this operation, Kurosaki Orizuki made a careful plan and observed her for more than a month.

What she didn't expect was.

An accidental encounter caused her plan to be abandoned before it was implemented, and at the same time she got in touch with Suzumiya Saka in a passive way.

It was an afternoon.

As usual, she acted as an invisible person and after participating in the afternoon club activities, she packed up and prepared to go to her part-time job at the izakaya. However, not long after she left the school gate, she was blocked in the alley by several old classmates.

This group of people are old acquaintances who often bullied Kurosaki Oritsuki when she first transferred from Hokkaido.

She barely escaped from the clutches of these people because of her class transfer in the second grade. Not wanting to cause more trouble and knowing that her body could not afford it, after awakening, Kurosaki Orizuki did not retaliate, but chose to hide herself and protect herself in this way.

Although it is shameful to escape.

But it does work.

It’s just that I don’t know whether these people spend too much money normally, or they have run out of money to exploit after bullying the targets in the new class, so they come back to her house again, grabbing her neck and trying to rob her of her money.

But Kurosaki Oritsuki has always lived a very difficult life.

Although the school provides accommodation, it charges a fee. Moreover, since it is barely an aristocratic school, the tuition is very expensive. At least she cannot afford it with the meager salary she earns from her part-time job.

And she is sick.

Even though she usually didn't want to waste extra medicine spray treatment when her asthma attacks were not too severe in order to save money, with this expense and her usual frugality, she could only barely make ends meet.

If your money is taken away, you will either go hungry, or you can’t afford medicine, or you can’t pay the rent.

When she was bullied, she only had a few coins on her, and after the first time she was even more afraid to carry too much money, so after robbing her two or three times, this group of people no longer cared about her money.

It just so happened that this time the salary from last week's part-time job happened to be in my schoolbag, and I forgot to take it out the night before.

So if you really get robbed.

The life she had been struggling to maintain would collapse.

It was at this moment that the figure that he had been thinking about day and night and even dreaming about for many nights because of his excessive planning appeared at the entrance of the alley.

She stared at the group of people coldly.

He didn't say anything and didn't make any threats. He just took out a cell phone and pointed the camera at them.

Perhaps it was because of the aura that Suzumiya Saka had that made people feel oppressed, or perhaps if this situation was filmed and reported to the teachers, they would indeed receive severe punishment, so right before they could touch their paychecks, they uttered a few harsh words and ran away in shame.

They were the only two left in the alley.

But Suzumiya Saka, who saved her, did not leave there, but turned her gaze to Kurosaki Oritsuki's face.

very nervous.

This was what she thought at the time.

But no matter what, being able to get in touch with Suzumiya Saka in this way is, in a sense, a very good start, because one should be grateful when being helped, and no matter whether she is the helping party or the grateful party, it is undeniable that she can use this as an excuse to get close to Suzumiya Saka.

But when she was slumped against the wall and saw Suzumiya Saka coming towards her, she thought she would reach out a hand and ask her if she was okay like in a TV drama. However, her words were extremely unexpected, and made Kurosaki Orizuki panic.

"Why have you been staring at me lately?"

After hearing these words, Kurosaki Orizuki's throat became so dry that he couldn't speak, and his mind went blank.

She thought her plan had failed.

The calmness and composure she had when she was secretly planning before completely collapsed at this moment. The extremely strong feeling of guilt made it almost impossible for her to look directly into Suzumiya Saka's eyes, and the idea of sucking blood seemed like a joke.

But when I am silent.

She didn't even show any intention of leaving.

So after being stared at for a minute or two, Kurosaki Orizuki managed to calm his turbulent heart, but even if he racked his brains, he couldn't think of any suitable answer at this moment. He could only bite the bullet and say the sentence he had intended to say until the end.

"I...I like you..."

After saying this, she seemed to lose all her strength and collapsed completely against the wall behind her.

After hearing this, Suzumiya Saka nodded slightly.

It seems that a certain idea has been confirmed.

Then he left a message as well.

"I see."

A very ambiguous answer.

But in Kurosaki Oritsuki's opinion, this was an answer that was not clearly expressed, but its stance was already obvious.

So she tossed and turned that night.

On the one hand, not only did his plan fail to go as fast as he had hoped, but on the other hand, he was still frightened after the mouse hiding in the sewer was pulled out by the cat, and he felt guilty for lying in front of him.

Perhaps it was her destiny to accept her fate and wait until she was seriously ill before leaving this world.

This was what Kurosaki Orizuki was thinking at the time.

However, fate is so unfortunate.

After wasting a whole night, she dragged her exhausted body to school. In addition to the books she had put aside yesterday, there was also a wooden lacquer box lunch box on her desk that she had only seen on TV.

Who put it in the wrong place?

Why is it on my desk?
When she was in doubt, Suzumiya Saka's figure stood beside her unknowingly.

"I gave it to you." "…Why?"

"Your body is too thin."

After saying this, Suzumiya Saka returned to her seat alone amidst the shocked, puzzled, envious and jealous looks of her classmates.

But Kurosaki Orizuki was a mess.

But after a brief moment of shock, she tried her best not to look embarrassed, and sat down on the corner of the desk, then casually stuffed the lunch box wrapped in an exquisite wooden lacquer box into the drawer.

But no matter how she forced herself to suppress her restlessness, she ultimately failed. She couldn't help but secretly open it and take a look during class.

The top layer is a golden fried egg.

In the compartment box next to it are a few slices of orange salmon and some chopped lemon for garnish.

There is also charcoal grilled eel on the lower level.

Three mirror cakes are arranged in a decorative pattern.

The last layer is crystal clear rice sprinkled with black sesame seeds and a small bowl of sealed miso soup.

Of course, Kurosaki Orizuki also has a desire for food.

After she came to the strange city of Tokyo alone, although the difficulties and hardships she encountered while trying to get a foothold were unspeakable, the money she earned from working part-time was enough to satisfy her appetite a few times. However, none of the meals were as delicious as the one in the bento, even if she didn't even heat it up.

This sudden lunch box was like a signal of a flood breaking through the dam, and she received more and more things.

Almost every day there is a different bento.

Every time the season changes, she fills her dressing room with new clothes and shoes of different styles, as well as some exquisite accessories that look expensive at a glance.

From then on, Kurosaki Oritsuki easily obtained what she had dreamed of every day since she came from Sapporo to Tokyo, and even some things she had never thought of before.

This situation lasted for nearly three months.

She had been silently accepting this kindness, but had not expressed anything. It was not because she was unwilling, but because she was afraid that she would say something wrong if she came into contact with Suzumiya Saka.

Or maybe it made her unhappy.

Then you will lose everything you got.

Until one day three months later, when Kurosaki Orizuki asked for leave from the physical education teacher as usual, changed into a physical training suit and sat alone in the corner of the basketball hall watching others train, Suzumiya Saka appeared again.

"Is what you said before true?"

She asked so directly again.

"real."

Kurosaki Orizuki answered subconsciously.

"understood."

He repeated it again, just like the afternoon before, an ambiguous answer.

However, just when Kurosaki Orizuki came to his senses and felt so complicated that he didn't know how to face her, and thought that Suzumiya Saka would leave after saying this like she did half a year ago, she stretched out a hand.

"Then let's go shopping."

This time there is one more sentence than before.

That's exactly what I said.

It was so severe that Kurosaki Oritsuki could hardly remember what the two of them did holding hands on the campus that day.

I only vaguely remember that her body was very stiff.

And Suzumiya Saka's hands were a little sweaty.

Then they seemed to be holding hands like ordinary girls, but there was a different emotion growing in them, and Kurosaki Orizuki couldn't tell what it was.

From that day on, Suzumiya Saka no longer acted as an enthusiastic classmate who only gave benefits.

Instead, he would take the initiative to look for her after every get out of class.

Many years passed like this.

From being frugal with words to being able to talk about anything, from being aloof to others to occasionally showing a normal girl's demeanor only to her, unknowingly their relationship seemed to have become what those girls called besties, and Suzumiya Saka never asked the question "Do you like me?" again.

Maybe it's the test of time.

Kurosaki Orizuki comes into contact with more and more people. Over the past decade, she has relied on her own efforts and the support of Suzumiya Saka, and successfully entered university. Then she became a doctor who treated her own type of disease, and smoothly squeezed into the group of social elites.

Kurosaki Orizuki became more and more greedy.

Suzumiya Saka didn't ask.

She also planned to keep this secret.

After all, even if she has a decent job and becomes a so-called social elite, there are still many things that she can grasp from Suzumiya Saka, and she wants to keep clinging to her to survive.

As for what to do when you really run out of time...

She didn't know it herself.

Perhaps before she said that, their lives were two parallel lines that never intersected.

But after that sentence.

They have intersections with each other.

What Kurosaki Orizuki didn't expect was that one day more than ten years later, Suzumiya Saka also had an intersection with another man, and she herself was forced to be involved and became one of the three lines.

And it seems that they are about to separate.

Especially after witnessing it with her own eyes, her originally relatively calm heart once again became as palpitating as when she first heard Suzumiya Saka ask her that question.
