Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

Chapter 238 Calmness full of remnants, Megumi Kato
"Hmm~ Excuse me...what's the matter?"

The girl whose name was suddenly called by a stranger turned around, her delicate face was neither puzzled nor surprised, only calm, like the stone fox statues on both sides of the torii gate of the shrine.

He will neither rejoice because of people's worship, nor lose because of moss growing on his body.

He said doubtful words, but even with Hojo Kyosuke's observation skills, it was difficult to see the emotional fluctuations in the other's black eyes.If he wanted to say it, he might just be slightly surprised by seeing his handsome face.It was a matter of course, and so far he had never met a man who had not been struck by his own charm.

So what should be said now?Said that he was too surprised to see the members of Passerby Heroine again?No, no, it's too rude to say that the other party is a passer-by as soon as we meet.

Kato Megumi was sure that she didn't know this boy, there had never been such a person in her world.But besides family and friend Rinko Ohashi, the boy in front of him was the first person who could recognize himself in the crowd.

Hmm... If there are too many people around, parents and Lunzi may not be able to find me, but my sister should be fine, after all, everyone has the same sense of non-existence.

However, it seems a bit familiar.When had I seen such a handsome guy?Kato Megumi was puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just stood there quietly, planning to leave before the other party spoke in a second.

Maybe the other party called someone else. After all, a name like "Megumi Kato" has 1000 million if not 500 million. Such a situation is inevitable.

"Ah, I've always heard that Kato-senpai from Toyosaki Academy is very beautiful, but today I saw her as a rare beauty."

The person who can say such frivolous words frankly is of course Sakura Yamauchi, and it is JK's special skill to know the grades by looking at the school uniforms.To put it simply, different colors are often used to distinguish grades in places such as the bow tie skirt of the uniform and the hem of indoor shoes.

Megumi Kato looked at the boy who nodded with a smile in front of him, and then at the girl who spoke.He raised his hand and tapped his cheek lightly with his index finger:

"This is the first time I've heard someone say that. Although I'm a little embarrassed, thank you for your compliment."

Hojo Kyosuke looked interesting. Although she said she was embarrassed, the girl named Kato Megumi remained calm, and she didn't hear that she was happy because of the praise in her tone of voice.

How to describe, calm and happy?

What the hell, how can a person be calm and happy at the same time?It would be better to say how can you still feel her happiness when you are calm?
Kyosuke Hojo fell into a vicious circle of logic. Could it be that his special sense of smell has gone a step further?

"How is it possible, Kato-senpai is too modest."

Yingliang couldn't believe it, although she said that to help Kyosuke get out of the siege.But the girl in front of her, even though she was used to seeing beautiful girls, still felt a different sense of beauty.

"It's true~"

Kato Megumi's tone was still so calm, for a moment Sakura couldn't tell whether the other party was perfunctory or a very serious reply.What a contradiction, although the calm words can be convincing most of the time, the senior sister in front of her is even too calm.

"No, no, no, someone like Kato-senpai should become the focus of the crowd no matter where she goes."

"That... I don't think the students around me are looking at me~~"

Kato Megumi turned his head and looked around, just like what the other party said, they were still the focus of everyone standing at the school gate talking.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Hojo Kyosuke said, he and Sakura Liang, two people wearing different school uniforms, stood at the gate of the National People's University, could they not attract attention.

"Hmm~" Kato Megumi shook his head:

"I don't~ I feel troubled, I just feel a little unaccustomed to being watched by so many people all of a sudden....Although I know that they are not looking at me~~~"

What's going on, this wonderful calmness, although the tone and expression have not changed, and the words are only simple declarative sentences.But Hojo Kyosuke clearly felt a little bit of remembrance, a little bit of loss, and resignation to his fate. Is this how the peace of mind full of regrets was created?

Hojo Kyosuke turned his head and looked at Sakura, who didn't feel anything at all, and was still wondering why Megumi Kato said that.

"Should we go to the coffee shop over there for a while? It's shameful to stand here all the time." He pointed to the necessary coffee shop at the entrance of every school in Neon.

The coffee shop that Mitsuha dreamed of, in the days when he didn't meet, Hojo Kyosuke could receive more than three photos of the coffee shop from the other party every day.Breakfast, lunch, dinner and sometimes afternoon tea.But there should be a coffee shop in Nara. Is this to make up for the number of times I didn't go to junior high school?

When he was talking, he mainly looked at Kato Megumi, this guy Sakura must be very happy, because the original plan was to eat here all the time, and they would end their club activities when they ate.

"Oh~~Okay." Kato Megumi readily agreed.

"Hey? Is it really possible? Kato-senpai, you seem to be going home just now, should you have something to do?" Sakura asked.

"Well, I have a favorite TV series to watch today, but I feel that chatting with you is also very interesting, so it doesn't matter." Kato Megumi explained.

interesting?Sakura was slightly taken aback.From the beginning to the present, isn't it just me and Kyousuke unilaterally pulling Kato-senpai to talk?And it's all nonsense nonsense.

"Sister Kato, you are so easy to talk, you have a really good personality!" Sakura praised, at least she would not go to the coffee shop to continue chatting with someone who appeared out of nowhere.

"Huh? Ah...uh~~"

It seems that just like what I said before, the girl named Megumi Kato didn't hear much praise for herself, and she was a little overwhelmed for a while. After walking two steps forward, she said:
"For TV dramas, my friend will record them every time, and then go to her house to watch them."

Well, it was explained, but it didn't explain why it was interesting to get along with the two of them.The joy of being called by name, the joy of being praised, and the joy of receiving attention are all hidden in the calm expressions and words.

The three walked into the coffee shop and followed the waiter's guidance to the non-smoking area.

"I will treat you today, Kato-senpai, please order more things you like." Sakura propped her face on the table with both hands, and squinted at the girl opposite.

Although it was the first time we met, the girl named Kato Megumi didn't see anything unusual, and after wiping her hands with a wet towel, she let out a sigh of relief.The great detective Yamauchi Sakura finally came to his senses and saw a little bit of this girl's character.

Although she didn't know why Kyosuke was able to call out this stranger's name, she fell in love with this indifferent girl at a glance.If it was her, it seemed that no matter what kind of sadness, her expression would not change.

Like Nitro and Xue Ye, although they are very gentle, if they know that they are dead, maybe they still need Jingsuke to comfort them, so who will comfort Jingsuke for themselves?

So, let's become friends with Kyosuke, Kato-senpai.

No one knows how painful Yingliang is doing all this, but she knows how painful she is now, and after her death, Kyousuke's pain will increase a hundredfold.

Whether it's for the sake of Kyousuke or self-abandonment, the arrogant and hesitant Eiriri, the aggressive Kasumigaoka, and the destined marriage Mitsuha, put your whole body and mind into this war, and no one can relax until the end At the end of the world, please stay with Kyosuke.

Just as Sakura thought, Kato-senpai agreed to go to the coffee shop together, just as calmly as she showed just now, obediently picked up the menu:

"Well~~ Then I'm not going to be polite, I'll treat you guys to eat tomorrow too."

The girl's tone was as flat as ever. No matter who listened to her words, they would feel that the treat to eat tomorrow was just to return the gift, not because they wanted to meet the two opposite people again.

As if suddenly remembering something, Kato Megumi looked away from the menu and said naturally: "Speaking of... I still don't know your names~~"

"Hey!? Haven't you introduced yourself yet?" Sakura shouted in surprise, "Because of Kato-senpai's performance, I unconsciously thought that everyone was a friend who had known each other for a long time."

"Ah~~ For a while, I don't know whether I should feel happy or..."

This kind of situation has happened many times, just like in the home economics class, I was divided into a group with other students. After cooking, everyone tasted it together, and then some students suddenly wondered: "Who are you?" .It was as if the person who was in charge of cutting vegetables and seasoning had fallen out of a crack in time and space.

Hmm... Although they can't be blamed for that, what the girl in front of me said really made me feel very comfortable.Kato Megumi squinted his eyes, and decided to regard this emotion as happiness.In any case, being mistaken for a friend is something that should be happy.

Hojo Kyosuke lightly tapped Sakura on the head, this sloppy ghost, there must be a limit to familiarity.

"My name is Hojo Kyosuke, I'm Class F of the first grade of Sobu High School, and I live at 25-[-], Meshirodai [-]-chome, Bunkyo-ku. This guy is..."

"I'll do it myself. My name is Yamauchi Sakura, and I'm his childhood sweetheart. Other information is the same as Kyosuke."

Childhood sweetheart?This kind of word seems to be used more by otaku, right?And... all other information is the same, referring to the home address?

Kato Megumi was puzzled, but he didn't have the desire to ask, this kind of thing is fine anyway.

"I'm Megumi Kato, Class B of the second year at Toyosaki Academy, and I live at 19-[-], Kamiikebukuro [-]-chome, Toshima District."

Without caring, the girl really gave her home address.

"That...why do you have to exchange home addresses when you meet for the first time?"

Well, not indifferent, but based on equal exchange or something?
"Hahaha, Kato-senpai, don't worry about that guy, sometimes he's more serious. And we're already friends, so it's convenient to invite you to our house after exchanging addresses."

"Ah~~ Are you already friends? It feels a little~sudden." Kato Megumi was a little surprised when he put down the menu.

"Of course, I wouldn't invite someone who isn't my friend to dinner." Ying Liang spoke plausibly.

"Is that so, sorry, I thought Yamauchi..."

"Just call me Sakura."

"Hmm... ok, Sakura. I thought you were the kind of person who is very warm to strangers~"

"How is it possible, there are so many interesting things in the world, how can I waste time on boring strangers."

So in other words, Sakura thinks I'm funny?
Megumi Kato was a little surprised. The highest compliments from people she knew were probably "sensible" and "good tempered". This is the first time such an interesting evaluation.How should I put it, I am a little bit happy.

Moreover, Hojo Kyosuke...

While looking at the menu, Megumi Kato secretly looked at the boy opposite from the corner of his eye. He was sending a message to someone with his mobile phone.No wonder it felt a little familiar just now.

The waiter came over, and Megumi Kato ordered a light cheesecake and a strawberry ice cream, both of which are girls' favorite sweets.

Sakura also ordered a lot, and the waiter was so frightened that he hurriedly introduced the portion of the food, but the girl didn't care, because beside her was Kyosuke Hojo with a stomach leading to another dimension.

"It's very pleasant to get along with Sakura, you and Kyosuke, and I want to come out to play again next time, but... um~~ Maybe you will forget about me tonight."

That's right, although I also said before that I would treat the other person to eat tomorrow, but at that time, if I approached him to talk to him, Sakura would look at him with a puzzled face, racking his brains to get a "Ganami" for himself. Specious name.

"Huh? How is it possible? I've already thought about what I'm going to eat with Kato-senpai tomorrow." Sakura said, is her memory that bad?

"Well, I'm not talking about you and Hojo-san, it's because of my own reasons.

According to my friends, I always give people a weak impression.Shouldn't it be easy to ignore..."

There is a trace of loneliness, a trace of sadness, and a subtle expression of resignation.

"That's why Kato-senpai was so surprised when you were recognized by Kyosuke?"

Sakura was taken aback as soon as the words came out, was Kato-senpai surprised at that time?No, what did she say at that time?Obviously it happened just now, why is there no impression at all?God, is my memory really that bad?
At this time, there was a small commotion at the booth next to them. It seemed that the waiter had delivered the wrong meal.After apologizing vigorously, the waiter stood still and thought for a long time, but he couldn't remember who ordered the light cheesecake and strawberry ice cream in his hand.

She was the best waiter in the store for three consecutive years, how could she make such a mistake! ?Full of frustration, she resignedly took out the menu.

"Hello, it should be what I ordered." Kato Megumi stood up and waved.

"Ah, sorry to keep you waiting." The waiter bowed again and again.

"Yeah, it's okay~~" It's better to say that the one who should apologize is actually me, after all, it's because my sense of existence is too weak.

"So~ that's it, even if you are in a restaurant, you will be ignored by the waiters~~ If you are alone, waiting in line to eat will never be my turn~~"

The episode just now didn't seem to affect Kato Megumi's mood at all, and she continued to explain to the two surprised people opposite with a calm expression while holding a fork.

"Ahhh, Kato-senpai was sad just now!" Sakura said, although she still couldn't catch the expression fluctuations on her face, it is impossible not to be sad when she said such words.

"No~ After all... there is no other way."

Yingliang looked at the other party suspiciously, always felt that the other party was very disappointed just now, but the voice of speaking did not change at all, really, it was so interesting.

The two girls over there were discussing, while Kyosuke Hojo looked at Megumi Kato as if he had discovered the new continent.

What kind of passerby halo is this?It's the kind of passer-by who won't be noticed no matter how many times he walks behind in the film and television drama, and who obviously has his cameo in every scene.

Wait, passerby?
His eyes froze, is this the so-called passerby heroine? !

However, although the figure of the girl in front of her is not as good as that of Kasumigaoka-senpai, she is convex where it should be, her eyes are on her chest, and her waist is well concaved to form a beautiful curve, which can be seen even in a loose school uniform.

I saw the legs under the table when I was just walking, they were slender and slender.The skin on the hands and neck is also very delicate, with a healthy glow.

The face is also very delicate and lovely, coupled with the expression that seems to be as plain as water all the time, it is even more cute in contrast.

Just like Ying Lili and Kasumigaoka-senpai, such a girl can't be a passerby no matter what, right?

Therefore, it must be other factors that will cause the weak sense of existence!

"That... Hojo-san~~ Although I know that your eyes don't have that kind of embarrassment, but being stared at like this, even I~ still feel a little embarrassed."

It's amazing, although the other party's tone remained the same as before, and his expression didn't change, but he kept staring at the other party to see Hojo Kyosuke, and still clearly felt a trace of joy from Kato Megumi's fair face.

Embarrassed at being stared at, but happy at being noticed?He guessed, after all, the other party said before that even the waiter would ignore her when serving food, so being stared at like this should be an experience that he has never experienced before?

"I'm sorry, because it's very strange, just like what Sakura said, Kato-senpai, you are so beautiful, but you have a weak sense of existence." He smiled apologetically.

"In this case, it's like Hojo-san, you didn't intend to make yourself eye-catching, and I didn't intend to make myself unobtrusive." Kato Megumi picked up a tissue and wiped the ice cream on the corner of his mouth.

"Kato-senpai, do you know Kyosuke?"

Sakura asked, the circle of her lips was also stained with green foam, it was matcha coffee.But she didn't mean to wipe it at all. In her words, it was like making a quilt in the morning and rolling it out in the evening. Why didn't she choose to let it spread after getting up.I have to continue eating after wiping my mouth, why not wipe it last.

Hojo Kyosuke naturally took out a tissue and wiped the sloppy guy clean, such a look would make people want to kiss him.Then he also looked at the girl on the opposite side, and the meaning in those words was clearly that he knew his identity other than a student.

"Well, the guy who went 'Ha!' on the TV and cut the straw mat into pieces.

Once my cousin called all the sisters of the Kato family over, just to let everyone watch that video. After that, every time I went to my cousin’s house to play, I seemed to see him watching this video.

So~~ I will write it down.I was too surprised to be called by someone I didn't know just now, so I didn't think about it all at once.

Of course, my cousin kept telling us about other comics and novels, so when I heard Hojo-san say his name, I remembered it.

Ah~~ I was really taken aback. I didn't expect to be able to chat with such a powerful person. "

It seemed that because of talking too much at once, Kato Megumi's face flushed a little, and she picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

"Wait, Kato-senpai, are you really surprised? I didn't see that you were taken aback at all." Sakura said, not saying wow, ah, and other modal particles, even listening to the words now Not the slightest surprise.

"...Well, I'm really surprised~~ Especially after thinking about what kind of person Hojo-san is, I'm even more surprised."

Kato Megumi didn't mind Sakura's words at all, but expressed his emotions frankly, expressing his surprise in a flat tone.

Tell me your cousin's name, I will recruit him into the organization and train him well.

Hojo Kyosuke let out a whimper in his heart. Although he also thought his move was very handsome, he just imagined a little boy standing in front of the TV, loudly introducing his glorious deeds to his cousins, and maybe even asking They will all write a [-]-word review, and his head will explode.

Why are all my supporters such sand sculptures, although they are cute as friends, just like the two middle school students in the class who claim to be the second and third swordsmen in Tokyo.But it's not good in front of girls.

"But I can't feel it from your expression and tone at all." Sakura said.

"Hmm~~ Because I always feel that kind of reaction of 'Ah, are you that famous Hojo Kyosuke, are you actually me, ah, so happy', so I just express my feelings appropriately." Megumi Kato Said.

How should I put it, although I know that the girl named Kato Megumi will never have any meaning of ridicule.But the other party said it in a flat tone like a stick reading without emotion, and the feeling of ridicule was really full.

With a rigorous and serious attitude, Hojo Kyosuke analyzed it carefully.Kato-senpai's voice is very pleasant, with a girl's unique vivacity.When speaking, he uses various cute modal particles, such as oh, oh, yeah, eh, and the tone is a bit playful.

But there are almost no ups and downs. People who talk to her will feel extremely relaxed, as if they can speak freely no matter what, without any pressure.But if it's not the person you're talking to, you won't notice her at all.

For example, Yingliang is always bluffing, eating a cake and humming twice from time to time, and can't wait to pour two bottles of ink on the sun after eating delicious food. Splash yourself all over.But it's such a silly move that makes everyone feel her joy, and it's hard not to notice it.

and so……

"Is it to not impress others?"

Kato Megumin raised his head abruptly, his small mouth opened slightly, his eyes widened a little, and he could even see the pink ice cream on his tongue.

This is the first time Sakura captured her emotions, surprised!Wow, as expected of Kyosuke, you can actually make a girl like a stone Buddha show an expression.

But soon this expression disappeared, and it returned to the calm look again, but this time it was a happy and peaceful look.

"Ah, it's almost like that. I don't have many friends, but I don't have the courage to make more friends."

Kato Megumi spoke word by word, as frank as ever.Thinking about it now, her frankness may be because no one will pay attention to her words and will remember her words, so she can say it without any scruples:

"So everyone will not remember that there is nothing I can do..."

Well, I'm a calm... A girl who is easy-going in her emotions, doesn't keep things in her mind when things pass, and doesn't know the difference between joy, anger, sorrow, and joy.That's me - Megumi Kato.

After saying those words, the girl inevitably had some bad emotions in her heart, but she quickly read out the magic spell that anyone who listened to it would feel very strange, and could be used to calm the mind. spell.

The expression of the girl in front of her was as calm as ever, as calm as if she didn't say those cruel words just now.But Sakura, who was still active just now, stopped talking, but looked at Hojo Kyosuke next to him.

That's right, how should I put it.It can also be regarded as a way of self-protection. If you don't leave a deep impression on others, others will not leave an impression on her, so you won't be hurt.Although there will be fewer happy things, they will not be sad.

The sense of existence will become so weak. At first it was a self-selection, and later it evolved into a situation where I had no choice but to accept it passively.

Others don't have 300 taels of silver here, but Megumi Kato has carried out the "hidden secrets" to the extreme. Over time, he even forgot how to show his charm.

So you passers-by heroines are all problem children, the book artist Tsundere Eriri, with a black belly... the sexy novelist Kasumi Zhiqiu, maybe a little sickly.Hojo Kyosuke is amused when he thinks of being poisoned by Kasumigaoka's tongue every day, and the two people's daily meeting starts with the latter's cold snort.

But Sakura and Kasumigaoka were very unusual when facing Sakura, as if they kept some ancient etiquette at all times, Kitajo Kyosuke thought they were watching a Taiga drama when he saw them.

But having said that, there is actually nothing wrong with the personalities of the three of them.If I have to say it, Eiriri and Kasumigaoka-senpai are just a little bit brighter.Kato Megumi, on the other hand, was indifferent.

That's right, if you want to give her a keyword, then from the current contacts, it would be these two words.She will not be as arrogant and petty as Ying Lili, and she can calmly talk about her own affairs.She is not as strong as Kasumigaoka-senpai, she can adjust her position naturally, as if she can tolerate everything.

Also, as Yingliang said, even if they just met, they feel like friends who have known each other for a long time. This invincible affinity, even the self-acquainted Yingliang can't do it so well.

When encountering some shy people, Yingliang's enthusiasm may scare the other party, just like the original glass.But Kato Megumi, anyone can get acquainted with her quickly.

Well, of course, maybe forget about her later like the waiter.

There was a lot of thought in my mind, but Hojo Kyosuke didn't say it.We've only just met, so are you about to start talking nonsense about other people's lives?Just as Ying Lili's arrogance and the shortcomings brought about by arrogance are regarded as cute by him, isn't Kato Megumi's character perfect in a sense?
"It feels as cute as a giant panda, Kato-senpai." He concluded.

"Huh~~~?"

Kato Megumi thought that Hojo Kyo, who could see his own thoughts at a glance, would say something powerful, but he didn't expect that the other party would skip that topic as naturally as he did.Sure enough, talking like this is the most comfortable way, and everyone will be very happy.

Although I am a little curious and want to hear the other party's evaluation, if my heart is really revealed unceremoniously, then even I can't calm down.

"Speaking of which, Kato-senpai's name fits well with her personality. Just like the 'Li' surname in that country, everyone must know someone named Li Jie or Li Jie." Ying Liang said.

"Hey, does Yingliang know Chinese so well?"

"Haha, it was Kyosuke who told me. Not only can he speak Chinese, but he also knows all kinds of customs and living habits there. He even speaks Chinese when he is emotional like I suddenly speak Kyoto dialect. If I wasn't his childhood sweetheart, I would have thought he was an overseas student."

"That's great, I also like listening to Chinese songs..."

The chat gradually got better, and Sakura began to talk about things in school.

"I'm going to pick up the water, do I need to help you?" Kato Megumi stood up.

"Thank you." Hojo Kyosuke handed over the cup, and Sakura casually said no.

"...I don't know if the club activities of Yinglili and the others are over." After talking a lot, Yingliang suddenly thought of why she came here, and then looked at Megumi Kato:
"Sister Kato, do you know Eriri..."

"Hey hey hey!"

There was no one on the opposite side. The girl looked around in surprise and stood up. After searching for a long time, she saw Megumi Kato who was queuing behind the water dispenser.

"When did Kato-senpai leave?"

"...Didn't she ask you just now if you want to fetch water for you?" Hojo Kyosuke was taken aback, Kato Megumi's stealth performance is too good.

"Tsk, it's amazing. Sure enough, you are the best, Kyosuke, I didn't notice at all." Sakura smacked her tongue.

Just like seeing hyacinths swaying in the wind, you can calculate the wind speed. As long as Hojo Kyosuke is willing, the world will become the same in his eyes.No need for a system, he can even list simple information when he sees everyone.

And in the world of kendo, people like Kato Megumi should be regarded as full of flaws, but there are no flaws at all.It seemed ordinary, but it attracted more attention, because the surrounding world was a complete image in his mind, and the girl disappeared abruptly like a black hole.

"Thank you."

"Yeah, you're welcome."

Seeing Kyosuke Hojo who looked at him for the first time, took the cup and thanked him, Megumi Kato was surprised again.Even when the family is having dinner, the seat may be taken by others immediately after you leave the table.If I went to talk by myself, my cousin and the others would even wonder if I actually participated in the dinner party.

Unexpectedly, Hojo Kyosuke could remember his departure.

This is also the second time that Sakura captured Megumi Kato's emotions today.

"If I hadn't seen it, I would have never imagined that there would be such a thing." Sakura exclaimed.

"Ah~~ I get troubled occasionally, but there's nothing I can do about it?"

It was that subtle peace of mind full of remnants.
