Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

The next day.

Kato Yusuke came to the studio refreshed and announced the news of recruiting new people, and said that if anyone has suitable candidates, they can introduce them.

Everyone looked at him suspiciously, wondering why he was in such a good mood today after the studio experienced something like that yesterday.

Eiriri even asked directly about the reason, but of course Kato Yusuke couldn't explain it.

Otherwise, what would he say? Do you want to admit that you have enjoyed the "independence of a fallen flower"? Even if you seek death, this is not how you do it.

In the same way, when Hui asked why Shiyu and Hasumi Kanoko both asked for leave today, he also found a random excuse to excuse them.

The two of them played games with him all night yesterday. They couldn't even open their eyes in the morning, let alone come to the studio.

On the contrary, Kato Yusuke relied on his inhuman physical strength to transform into the God of War, fully demonstrating his strength and superb skills.

Shiyu and Lian Jiankanoko couldn't help but accompany him to play black, and finally they were exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.

Although Kato Yusuke still had some unfinished ideas, he still had to play games in moderation, so he didn't force them too much.

Not only that.

When he left the apartment in the morning, he prepared breakfast for Shiyu and Hasumi Kanoko in a gentlemanly manner to help them replenish their energy.

On the other hand, he couldn't help but think that the three blacks were still not happy enough. At least the five blacks would be a good match. It would be great if Hui and Eirili could join together.

Of course, this is just his whimsical idea.

To say that the reason why Hasumi Kanoko is willing to sacrifice her life to accompany her is largely due to guilt and compensation.

Otherwise, if he himself dared to make such an ungrateful request, it would be easy for Shiyu not to spray him bloody.

But then again -!

People always have to have some dreams while living in this world, otherwise what difference would they make to salted fish?

As the saying goes, everything is always difficult at the beginning, but now that the beginning has been opened, there will always be a day when things will fall into place...right?

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but start to look forward to the future, and gradually became excited.

So all the friends were surprised to find that someone was full of energy all day today. From time to time, a person would suddenly laugh into the air, as if his brain had been kicked by a donkey, which made people worried about his health. mental state.

Kato Yusuke didn't think too much and just worked normally in a happy mood. At almost noon, Shiyu sent him a LINE, saying that he was awake.

He immediately perked up after receiving the news and directly initiated a video invitation.

After waiting for about five seconds, the video call was connected, and what appeared on the screen was a blood-curdling scene.

Shiyu was seen wearing a large men's white shirt, with the skirt open casually, and his long black hair hanging slightly messily to his chest, making his already fair skin even whiter.

"...Why are you making a video call?" She sat casually at the dining table, yawning sleepily, looking like a lazy wild cat, looking inexplicably charming.

Kato Yusuke was attracted by the charm she inadvertently revealed. After a moment, he came back to his senses and replied somewhat dullly:

"...Oh, nothing happened. I just wanted to see how you were resting. Where is Kano-chan?"

"Bathroom, taking a shower."

"Well, I prepared breakfast for you when I left in the morning. Did you eat it?"

"Well, I was about to eat it."

Shiyu said without energy, raised one foot and stepped on the chair, then picked up a sandwich and brought it to his mouth, chewing it slowly.

Kato Yusuke's eyes naturally moved down, landing on her slightly red knees and round and tight thighs, and suddenly he didn't know where to look.

"Uh, Xiaoshi, why don't you button your shirt?"

"I don't want to tie it, but I have to take a shower later."

"...Isn't this bad? What if someone sees it?"

"Um……?"

Shiyu raised her dark eyebrows slightly, glanced at him through the phone, and then curved her lips intriguingly, "There are only two people in this room, Xiaokano and I. Can you tell me who I can show it to~?"

Kato Yusuke heard the ridicule in her tone, touched his nose, and muttered vaguely: "...That's not what you said last night."

Shiyu's smile suddenly froze on his face, staring at him angrily, and asked with a smile: "Hmm? Yu-chan, what did you just say? Can you please repeat it again~?"

Kato Yusuke's words flashed: "No, I just want to say that you slept very well last night. It happens that tomorrow is the weekend again. Would you like to consider staying at Kano-chan's place for another night?"

When Shiyu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then blushed slightly and spat: "Bah, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. I won't do that kind of thing again."

"Uh...?" Even though he had been mentally prepared, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but feel disappointed when he actually heard this.

He moved his lips and asked cautiously: "...Xiao Shi, how about we discuss it again?"

Shiyu chuckled lightly, unable to tell whether he was hurting him or beating him up. The tone of his speech was very playful.

"Is there anything to discuss? Didn't I make it clear enough yesterday? If it weren't for the fact that Kano-chan is so depressed, do you think I would agree to that request?"

Kato Yusuke pondered for a moment, "I think it depends on the specific time and occasion."

"Huh??" Shiyu stared at him with furrowed brows, and opened her red lips lightly: "...What do you mean by this?"

Kato Yusuke said seriously: "If it were a normal poem, I wouldn't agree, but if it were the poem last night, I would..."

"Kato Yusuke——!!"

Shiyu suddenly raised his voice and said angrily: "What did you just call me!?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just think your voice is nice, Xiaoshi, so I want to express my praise."

Kato Yusuke kept mumbling without blushing, and secretly sighed in his heart. If Shiyu's voice was sweeter now, it would be almost as good as last night.

Naturally, Shi Yu would not believe his lies. She gave him an angry look with her beautiful eyes, but did not go into details.

There is an old saying that goes well——

A man dies for a man who knows himself, and a woman looks good for a man who pleases her.

Although she looked angry on the surface, she actually enjoyed Kato Yusuke's admiration and love for her on the inside.

The two chatted casually, and after a while, Hasumi Kanoko also came out of the shower.

She was wrapped in a large bath towel, exposing half of her breasts, and the graceful body curves were vividly outlined, which was especially sexy.

Out of male instinct, Kato Yusuke glanced twice unconsciously.

Shiyu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked with a half-smile: "Hmm? Yu-chan, where are your eyes looking~?"

Shiyu asked this with a smile, but Kato Yusuke still keenly smelled a hint of danger, and his heart skipped a beat.

He calmly withdrew his gaze, adjusted his mood, then deliberately frowned, and spoke with a hint of reproach:

"What did you two do, Xiaoshi and Kano-chan? You can't wear so little even at home, right? You're so careless and careful about catching a cold."

Poor Lian saw that Kanoko had just come out of the bath, and before he fully understood the situation, he said this, and she couldn't help but froze in place for a moment.

Shiyu curled his lips in disdain, unaware that he was deliberately shifting the focus. He nodded with a sneer and said something very good.

Before Kato Yusuke understood what this meant, the screen on his phone suddenly went black, and the video call was terminated directly.

Just as he was about to call back, the other party sent a LINE——

[Little poem: We two are going to eat, so don’t be annoying. 】

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but smile bitterly.

…

In the afternoon, in the living room of the old studio site.

"Yu-kun, what are you thinking about?"

"Huh--?"

"Because you seem to be absent-minded. Is there something on your mind?"

"Um...I'm sorry, Nakano-senpai, I was just in a daze."

"Hmm~ I'm in a daze for a little bit. It sounds very poetic and picturesque. Can you let me join in?"

"Eh?"

Before Kato Yusuke could react, Nakano Ryoko sat down on the tatami next to him and imitated him and looked out the window.

Along with her light movements, bursts of lavender fragrance also floated. Unaccustomed to it, Kato Yusuke moved a little distance to the side, picked up the green tea next to him and drank it.

As if noticing his discomfort, Ryoko Nakano turned around and said, "What's wrong? Yu-kun, you look very reserved?"

"Uh, nothing... I'm just not used to keeping such a distance from my senior." Yusuke Kato scratched his cheek and said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Ryoko Nakano seemed a little surprised, "Aren't you used to keeping a certain distance between you and girls?"

“Where did this rumor come from——???”

Kato Yusuke asked in a pretentious manner, and Nakano Ryoko covered her mouth and giggled.

"It's not so much a rumor as what I saw with my own eyes, right? Hasumi-sensei, Kasumigaoka-san, Sawamura-san, Kato-san, and Shinjo-san, Yuu-kun is really awesome~"

"——!"

Kato Yusuke took a breath as if he just remembered to take a breath, then looked away awkwardly, and whispered: "...I really can't hide it from my senior sister, I made you laugh."

"Hide it from me?" Ryoko Nakano looked at him funny and continued: "I think Yu-kun never wanted to hide it from me from the beginning, right?"

"What……?"

"Have you forgotten, Yuu-kun? You asked me to make a DIY bath bomb at last year's high school cultural festival. Didn't you say you wanted to give it to them as a gift?"

After being reminded like this, Kato Yusuke also thought about it. He couldn't help but show a nostalgic expression, and said in a panic: "So it's true... I'm sorry, did you disappoint me, senior sister?"

Ryoko Nakano shook his head slowly and said naturally:

"This is your own business, Yu-kun, and Kasumigaoka-san. Others are not qualified to comment. Besides, you are my outstanding junior student, and I will not be disappointed just because of such a trivial matter."

Kato Yusuke looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect to hear such words and suddenly felt very embarrassed.

But in fact, Ryoko Nakano really doesn't care much about this matter.

As a child of a large family, she has seen and been exposed to things far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

This kind of gossipy news about men and women is really not that unusual. It is nothing more than a tacit understanding.

Compared to this, what is more troubling is that her mother has been urging her to go home recently...

Kato Yusuke looked at her slightly lost face and asked with some confusion: "Senior Nakano? What's on your mind?"

"...Huh?" Ryoko Nakano woke up suddenly, as if she had just noticed that she had lost her composure, and looked over in panic, which also made Yusuke Kato more certain of his suspicions.

"Senior, do you still remember the day you graduated from high school, when you secretly ran to the Kyudo Dojo alone? Your expression now is the same as that time."

"...Like a handsome senior?"

"How should I put it? Only at this time, senior sister is more like a lost child."

Nakano Ryoko's eyes moved slightly, and she chuckled as if trying to convey something vaguely, "I'm sorry, I was just in a daze, okay?"

Kato Yusuke was speechless, "...can you please stop using what I said to deal with me?"

"I was just thinking about some part-time work."

"Huh? I remember that my senior sister seems to be working part-time in a Japanese confectionery shop, right? Is everything going well?"

"It's a shame, I've been laid off since last week and I'm currently looking for a new job."

"Huh!? Someone would actually fire Nakano-senpai? Damn it, the person in charge of that store is too short-sighted!"

Ryoko Nakano looked at him with a smile, raised her hand and struck him with a knife on his head, scolding him in a gentle tone: "Be serious, being glib is not a gentleman's style, right?"

Kato Yusuke was not convinced, "I'm serious, why was my senior student fired? I want to know the specific inside story."

Nakano Ryoko shook her head helplessly, "It's not as complicated as you think. It's just because my schoolwork and part-time work conflict, that's why it's like this."

She said this, but in fact there was one thing she didn't say in her heart, and that was that the income from working in a pastry shop was still too low.

If this continues, he can barely meet his daily expenses, and there is no way he can repay Kato Yusuke's money on time, so he has to find another way.

Kato Yusuke looked at her vague expression, vaguely noticed something, and fell into deep thought for a while.

The Ryoko Nakano he knew was handsome and reliable, always smiling when dealing with others, like a wild cat who looked like a relative but was aloof, and had a strong sense of unreality in her body.

Over time, the other party not only gave him a lot of valuable advice, but also took great care of him, which made him unconsciously develop a certain degree of dependence.

He kind of hated this kind of one-sided request, but he was also frustrated that he couldn't help the other person and wanted to do his best.

Although Nakano Ryoko didn't say it explicitly, how could he not know the difficulties and difficulties that the other party was facing now?

It would be nice if he could give money directly, but the relationship between them is that as long as the other person doesn't ask, he can't give it, which is really frustrating.

But it was impossible for him to just stand by and pretend that he had discovered nothing.

Kato Yusuke thought about it again and again, and finally spoke out the hazy thoughts that had been hidden in his heart——

"Senior Nakano, if I say that I want to invite you to join my studio, will it seem too arrogant?"

"Huh--?"

Ryoko Nakano was stunned for a moment and tilted her head slightly with a look like "What are you talking about?"

Kato Yusuke cleared his throat and said loudly:

"It's like this. We have had Kano-chan in charge of the management of the studio before, but because we have encountered some setbacks recently, she doesn't want to continue doing it.

I remember, wasn’t my senior majoring in business administration in college? It just so happens that we want to find a professional to manage it. I want to say that it will be of great help if you are willing to come. As for the salary issue..."

He paused here and then continued as nonchalantly as possible: "I will not pay my senior sister a salary. I will only give you 10% of the studio's shares as dividends. What do you think?"

How could Nakano Ryoko not hear that he was deliberately taking care of her, she couldn't help but frown, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Kato Yusuke spoke first.

I saw him scratching his cheek, secretly observing his expression, and saying with some embarrassment:

"Of course, although I think so, I actually only have this few things that I can use. I just don't know if Nakano-senpai can see it..."

Nakano Ryoko was stunned for a moment, and her eyes gradually softened.

If Kato Yusuke wanted to give her these shares out of sympathy, then she would not agree to anything.

But he was very clever, and he acted like a junior begging a senior. She was unable to say anything when she refused.

Nakano Ryoko stared at his face, her beautiful eyes a little turbulent, but they immediately calmed down.

"I understand..." She murmured and turned around, facing him in a sitting position. Then she showed an extremely clear smile and gracefully bowed and bowed.

"If that's the case, please hire me, Yu-kun. I will try my best to live up to your expectations, think of you, and relieve your worries~"

"Senior, you are exaggerating..."

Kato Yusuke muttered, feeling relieved inside.
