Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 156 Arasaka Manor
[-], January [-]st.

Suburbs of Kyoto.

In the courtyard of Arasaka Manor, Chinese-style green tiles, red columns and white walls stand tall. The open garden is covered with clean and tidy gray and white gravel. Not far away, weeping willows and cherry blossoms by the pond and lake show the aesthetic classics and garden style.

Tang Yu was holding a hot teacup, leaning against the wooden eaves, admiring the sunset alone.

It has been a few days since he arrived at Arasaka Manor in Kyoto by Michiko's special car.

these days.

Tang Yu always stayed alone in this courtyard, and had nothing to do but drink tea to keep healthy.

After arriving at the Arasaka mansion, Michiko disappeared without a trace. Maybe she went to report to Saburo Arasaka in advance, or maybe she went back to her exclusive mansion.

I would visit Tang Yu occasionally, but I didn't stay for long, and I didn't have any extra explanations. I just let Tang Yu rest in the courtyard. If you feel bored, you can arrange a few butterfly beauties to accompany you.

Tang Yu appreciated Xiao Michiko's kindness.

Although this old house in the wilderness is nice, it is not fun to go around, if you see something you shouldn't see, you will inevitably cause some moths.

His purpose of this trip is very clear, that is, to return to Night City safely until Saburo Arasaka's birthday is over.

For everything that happened to the Arasaka family, try to avoid it as much as possible and not get involved.

Now in this Arasaka manor, not only the famous Saburo Arasaka lives, but also Hanako Arasaka, Yoshinobu Arasaka, Michiko Arasaka, and other members of the Arasaka family.

There are eyeliner and ninjas everywhere, but any trouble will fall into the ears of Saburo Arasaka.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

At this critical moment, it is always right to be cautious.

Now Tang Yu suddenly understands the mood of his old boss Arthur Jenkins. He is far away, but what he thinks about is family affairs.

I don't know what's going on with the Anti-Intelligence Department of Arasaka Tower. Jenkins has been on a business trip for more than two months, and there is no sign of returning, and he doesn't know what he is busy with outside.

Deputy Minister Kate temporarily presides over the work of the counterintelligence department, and is probably still thinking of ways to find her own tail.

Not many people knew about the fact that he came to Arasaka Manor in Kyoto to celebrate Saburo's birthday.

After all, he was going to meet the highest being of the Arasaka Company. These matters are top-secret information and are not allowed to be leaked at will.

Gloria knew about it, and it carried certain risks in it.

suddenly.

He received an instant message and opened the contact interface to check.

[David Martinez: Mr. Tang, Happy New Year! 】

Tang Yu was a little surprised that David would be the first person to send New Year's greetings.

Now the time in Night City should have just hit midnight, this kid is quite serious.

Thinking about it, David has been an intern in the counterintelligence department for almost three months, and he will finish his internship after returning home, and he will officially graduate after completing the graduation ceremony.

Before that, let's see which company he can get the letter of appointment, but Tang Yu thought, there is a high probability that it will also be Arasaka Company.

Tang Yu replied: "Happy New Year. Remember to write the company internship report carefully."

【David Martinez: Mr. Tang, I see】

Soon, he received another message from Sasha.

[Sasha Yakovleva: Mr. Tang, happy new year, Sasha must make good use of the new year! (with photos)]

The content of the picture is that Sasha is wearing a cat fluffy short skirt uniform, kneeling on the sofa, highlighting the enchanting figure, and reaching out to make cat claws.

Ah this
Who taught her to dress like this and pose for a photo, the surrounding environment is quite familiar, isn't this sofa from Gloria's house?
Tang Yu's expression was a little helpless, so he had to reply: "Happy New Year. Sasha's clothes are nice, but they may not suit you."

【Sasha:】

Then, Panan also sent a message.

【Panan Palmer: Hey, happy new year!Originally, I wanted to go for a walk in the city, but there were too many family affairs to spare, such as running transportation, delivering customers, robbing companies, blah blah, blah blah.All in all, I wish you all the best in the new year.Ardecado welcomes you as a guest. 】

Tang Yu: "Happy New Year. Come to the company square and I'll treat you to tea."

Just after midnight, messages came one after another.

[Rebecca: From the company, where did you play again, why didn't you take me?That casino recently reopened, what if I still want to play?But still have to say happy new year! (with photos)]

The content of the picture shows that in the small square of TURGO, the Mann team and the cyberpunks are having a happy party, while Rebecca is sitting alone on a sofa, holding a can of stupid monkey in her hand, and her two fat legs are on the On the table, grinning and sticking out his tongue, he seemed to be tired of corn juice.

Tang Yu replied: "Happy New Year. Then try to save more money in the new year."

[Meredith Stott: I heard that no one in your counterintelligence department is in charge of the overall situation now, what is it?I remember that the Arasaka family seems to hold a family banquet at this time of year. If you come back, if you get promoted, I will celebrate it for you. Besides, happy new year. (with photos)]

The content of the picture is a pair of Aunt Mei's thighs, wearing black leather boots, and there are a few welt marks on the white thighs.

Tang Yu: "Happy New Year, I hope we will be promoted together this year."

[Mann: Mr. Tang, happy new year.Thank you for helping me many times, and I will keep the kindness in my heart. I hope that in the new year, we can have better cooperation. 】

Tang Yu: "Happy New Year. Take care of your health and go to the old Vina for a physical examination when you have time."

[Jack Wells: Brother, happy new year. I wanted to drink with you, but Misty couldn't leave here. She is always alone and needs my company. Anyway, happy new year! 】

Tang Yu: "Happy New Year. I wish you an early birth to your son."

[Victor Victor: "Don, happy new year, how are you doing recently, the company's affairs are going well, but I can't help you much, I have time to ask Jack to see how the boxing match is going."]

Tang Yu: "Happy New Year. I'm on a business trip recently, and everything is going well. It's good to watch the boxing match. If I have the opportunity, I can try two."

Finally, Gloria also sent a message.

【Gloria Martinez: "I wish you all the best in the new year, and hope to return."】

Tang Yu: "Happy New Year."

After replying one by one, Tang Yu realized that the friends he was familiar with were still waiting on the other side of the ocean.

Tang Yu called up the contact interface, and saw that Lucy's profile picture was still silent, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

He clearly remembered that the two of them got along fairly well in those nights, and the relationship was not so cold that they could forget even a word of New Year's greetings.

It's just that Lucy always looks preoccupied, until some time ago, she didn't even come out for night running and exercise.

This made Tang Yu a little more vigilant.

Among the people he knows now, there are not many life simulation options, and he has only opened it twice so far.

Tang Yu is keenly aware that Lucy seems to have encountered some major situations, even related to her future choices.

What is she hiding from, could it be Arasaka?
Tang Yu decided to send her a message to find out.

"It's the new year, haven't you rested yet?"

Not long after, Lucy replied.

[Lucy: Huh?As a senior executive of the company, you already have a bodyguard assistant, and I plan to leave Night City. 】

Leaving Night City?
How could such a sudden decision be made?

Tang Yu immediately replied: "I'll talk about it when I come back."

【Lucy: Waiting for you. 】

Just finished replying.

In his line of sight, a beautiful figure appeared.

A cardamom girl in a maid kimono, with her hands folded in front of her belly, was walking in small steps, quickly crossing the courtyard corridor, walking towards this side.

After the maid came to Tang Yu's side, she bowed lightly as a salute, and then said politely: "Mr. Tang, hello, Miss Michiko invites you to take a bath in the Baihu Tangchi. A change of clothes has been prepared for you. If it is convenient for you, Please move with the little girl."

Bath in the soup pool.

Commonly known as hot springs.

Okay, Michiko asked him to take some hot springs.

Tang Yu didn't embarrass the little girl in front of him, put down his teacup, got up quickly, and followed her to the Baihu Tangchi.

Even if he doesn't want to go, it's useless, the name of this place is Arasaka, and a guest can only do what the owner wants.

The two passed through layers of fences and corridors, and bypassed a small gravel road. Between a group of rockeries, they saw a warm white soup pool, which felt like a winding path leading to a secluded place.

The water surface of the soup pond is filled with mist, and the water is a little cloudy. It really looks like a big bowl of thick bone soup.

The little girl quickly brought a wooden plate with bathrobes, bath towels and other supplies in it.

She placed the wooden plate on the ground, then walked up to Tang Yu, reaching out to help him unbutton his suit.

Tang Yu stopped her movement, seeing that she was not very old, and the tenderness between her brows had not faded away.

"I'll do it myself, you avoid it."

The little maid seemed to be panicked, and quickly put away her hands like an electric shock, and apologized repeatedly: "Mr. Tang, it's the little girl who is being reckless."

Tang Yu saw that she was working in Arasaka's house at such a young age, and he didn't know why, so he asked her to leave the rockery to avoid it.

After waiting for no one around, Tang Yu looked at Tangchi in front of him, and did not choose to go down, but waited for Xiao Michiko to arrive.

Soon.

He heard the sound of clogs rattling from the path, and it must be that Michiko has arrived.

as predicted.

Xiao Michiko, dressed in a traditional kimono, and accompanied by a little maid, came to the side of the Baihutang Pool. Seeing that Tang Yu was still wearing a suit and hadn't taken a bath in the pool, she asked with a strange smile.

"Why, are you worried about DU in the pool water?"

Tang Yu was also calm, and said bluntly: "Director Michiko is serious, it's just a matter of personal habits, I prefer to take a shower."

Xiao Michiko didn't take it seriously, and went straight to the soup pool, undressed with the help of the little maid, and then said: "Master Saburo is going to attend the banquet tonight, and according to the custom, you need to take a bath and change clothes before attending the banquet, if you like to stand It’s okay if you say it, the White Tiger Soup Pool is deep enough for you to stand on.”

tonight?

He remembered the day Saburo Arasaka was born, but it wasn't January [-]st, how could he set the date of the banquet as today.

Xiao Michiko continued to explain casually: "Master Saburo is a person who follows the etiquette and tradition. He likes to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, so the official banquet will be held on January [-]st every year."

Seeing that Xiao Michiko was not shy, Tang Yu took off all her clothes in front of her, and her tall and round figure was immediately revealed.

After the high-end prosthetic body is implanted in the whole body, it is carefully maintained, and the skin and texture are like frozen age, which fully embodies the beauty of cyber technology.

Tang Yu couldn't help making a comparison. Although Xiao Michiko's figure is perfect, it looks distorted.

Xiao Michiko walked into the soup pool barefoot, then leaned on the edge of a rock, looked sideways at Tang Yu, and said, "Actually, you don't have to be so restrained in the Arasaka mansion."

"At this time of year, Saburo-sama will meet with the representatives of Arasaka Corporation's global divisions. The focus is on those outstanding talents. You can understand that Saburo-sama is selecting the backbone for Arasaka's future."

"In the past years, I basically came back alone. After all, Lord Saburo really doesn't like Night City, but this time."

There was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and the two ebony plums swayed with the waves, and she continued.

"Master Saburo personally called your name."

Saburo Arasaka called the roll call himself?

When Xiao Michiko said this, Tang Yu inexplicably smelled a hint of conspiracy.

Although he is the deputy head of both departments in Arasaka Tower in Night City, this sesame official is regarded as a high-level official in Night City, but in the eyes of Saburo Arasaka in Kyoto, it is hardly a big deal.

Arasaka Saburo personally called himself to attend the banquet, which means that he must have known of his existence through some means and attracted his attention.

Tang Yu quickly thought about the possibility. Although he had done some things in Night City, it was far from the point where he would alarm Saburo Arasaka.

His face was still calm, neither happy nor humble, and said frankly: "I really didn't expect this."

Michiko closed her eyes, blushing slightly, and continued.

"If the time is right, I will fight for you to have the opportunity to meet Lord Saburo alone, which will be of great benefit to your future future."

"Of course, whether you can seize the opportunity depends on yourself."

"Although Sir Arasaka Saburo named you, it doesn't mean anything. After all, even I can see that you, a lone wolf, have no loyalty to Arasaka Company."

Although Tang Yu didn't know the reason why Saburo Arasaka named him, but as long as his last hole card was still there, he didn't worry about exposing the problem.

"I'm not loyal to Arasaka, but I'm loyal to power."

Xiao Michiko smiled and said, "That's true. If Arasaka doesn't hold power, who will be loyal?"

Just soaked for a few minutes.

Xiao Michiko got up from the bath, and changed into a bathrobe under the service of the little maid. Before leaving, she specially asked the little maid to send Tang Yu back to the courtyard, remembering to remind her to attend the banquet on time.
