Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home

   Chapter 451 The angry little aunt (thanks to the tired leader)

   After sending Shi Yu home, Kato Yusuke also returned to his apartment.

   Lock the mountain bike in the carport, follow the stairs with slightly rusted handrails to the second floor, and come to the first room at the end of the corridor.

   Open the door and enter the entrance, take off your shoes and walk into the living room.

   Put the sports backpack on the ground next to the bed under the disturbance of the black cat and start cleaning the litter box.

  During his absence, the black cat did not know what to do. There were a lot more pine cat litter scattered around the litter box than usual, as if deliberately.

   Since it was already evening, no matter how careful you were, the noise of the vacuum cleaner could not be covered up. Considering the disturbing situation, Kato Yusuke had to squat on the ground and clean up with a small dustpan and broom.

   "Little Hei, did you roll in there?"

"Meow??"

   The black cat tilted his head, and a question mark appeared on his face, as if saying "you scold again?".

   Kato Yusuke licked its furry head, and poured the clean cat litter swept into the dustpan back into the litter box.

   Just as he was thinking about the need for an automatic litter box, the phone in his trousers pocket suddenly rang.

   "Takasaka Akane"

   After pressing the answer button, the lazy and casual voice of Yujie came into the ear from the receiver,

"it's me."

"good evening."

"where are you now?"

"at home."

   "Are you free? Let's chat."

  “…”

"What's wrong?"

   "No, I just think it's rare for you to speak in such a gentle tone."

   "Huh~?"

   Hongsaka Zhuyin raised her tone slightly, then paused and said, "Don't be stupid, it has relieved me so many times of pressure, and this level of sweetness will still be given to you."

   "...Am I a Cowherd?"

   "What, isn't it? I'm still wondering when you'll realize this, and it turns out much later than I expected."

   The words were full of mocking smiles.

   Kato Yusuke stood up on his knees and sat down on the swivel chair next to him.

   "I don't dislike this contrast in you, but according to what you said, you seem to have forgotten that this show is not free, Miss Kosaka."

   Redsaka Zhuyin let out a somewhat coquettish laugh, and continued along the conversation: "What's the hurry, I'm going to talk about this next, I'm here to give you money? Boy."

   The sudden turn made the conversation pause for a moment.

   "...you shouldn't be joking, right?"

   "Of course. Having said that, it depends on our conversation below."

  's meaningful tone made Kato Yusuke finally determine something, so he asked, "Have you decided to buy the copyright of "Chainsaw Man"?"

   "Not bad, so let's talk about the price."

   "So the gentleness just now was used here."

   "I'm not lying, I really want to give you money, so be grateful~"

   "As long as you decide, we can make an appointment to sign the contract."

   "This is not in a hurry." Aksaka Zhuyin's voice suddenly became charming, "I have thought about the price, I can add 30 million more than the previous quotation, what do you think? Little brother~"

   The last 50 million plus 30 million, the total is 80 million.

   Kato Yusuke also put on a gentle tone and replied with a smile: "I don't think so, Auntie."

   "I said, do you know what the highest royalty fee in the industry is this year? Don't be so ignorant, it's almost time to accept it."

   "Sorry, but I still stick to the original idea, and the Undead River has agreed to my proposal for a supplement. According to this situation, the release of the single edition will not be too far away."

   "...But that will take a long time. At least you won't get much royalties this year, and I can give you cash. Don't you want to restart the studio plan earlier? It's a good deal."

   "I'm not so anxious. As I said, I just have to wait another year."

   A brief silence.

   There was a light cough from the other end of the phone, and a charming voice like an ancient oiran rang in the next second.

   "Are you really not going to cut prices no matter what? Uncle~"

   "I really won't cut the price no matter what, little girl~"

   "What if I would wear a vacuum and serve you?"

   "I will seriously reject you after I've been troubled for a while."

   "Although it's impossible for me to do such a thing, but let's just ask, what if it's a JK uniform?"

   "You know I'm still at the stage where I can take off the real JK uniform?"

   "Tsk, troublesome kid, or what would you say you like?"

   "Unfortunately, not even your character in Cos "The Cardinal of Gotanda"."

   seems to be out of breath.

  —click.

   Akizaka Akane hung up the phone without saying a word.

   ding bell~

   A mail is delivered to the phone.

  【Takasaka Akane: Don't let me see you, or I'll kill you. 】

   Kato Yusuke stared at the content on the phone screen and laughed it off.

   "The Cardinal of Gotanda" is the first debut work created by Aksaka Zhuyin after dropping out of university.

   As a debut novel, it sold 1 million copies in only three volumes within half a year, and the animation was decided in a blink of an eye, and the results are not bad.

   It seems that there were some accidents later, which caused the reputation of the work to be not very good, and the parties were obviously very concerned about it...

   While thinking about this, he opened Line's software interface, turned off Shinjoka's "daily class" reminder, and then turned to the chat interface with Shiyu-senpai.

   hesitated for a while, and finally gave up the plan to send a message.

-Ding!

  The familiar crisp sound came from outside the window.

   Kato Yusuke got up and walked to the kitchen, found a mug in the cabinet, brewed two cups of coffee with milk using the coffee machine, and then walked to the balcony with the cups.

   A crescent moon hangs in the sky, like a silver hook with pointed ends, gently illuminating the city.

   On this chilly night, the figures on the road have already entered a certain household, lighting up bright or dark lights, and faintly appearing in the night.

   The smell of smoke wafted from the balcony next door, and a tall figure was propping his arms on the railing, smoking a cigarette leisurely.

   "Good evening, Mr. Yoshida."

   "Oh, oh, good evening, Kato."

   Kato Yusuke took the initiative to say hello and handed a cup of coffee in his hand, "I made an extra cup of coffee, if you don't mind, please help to drink it."

   "You always say that? But thank you."

  Yoshida took the mug with a bit of laughter, and said embarrassedly, "Sorry, did I just disturb you?"

"Won't."

   Kato Yusuke shook his head, also propped his arms on the railing, looked into the distance, and said casually, "Want to chat for a while?"

   "Ah, just do as you say."

  As the relationship between the two became more and more familiar, they occasionally met and chatted on the balcony like this.

   Usually the sound of the zippo lighter is the standard. Yusuke who hears the sound will decide whether to come or not depending on the situation, and the same is true today.

  The content of the chat is not fixed. Most of the time, it is casual about some things in life, such as the recent changes in the apartment, and the notices from the town meeting.

   In addition, the two sides will occasionally communicate on specific topics, such as Miss Goto, which has become one of the fixed topics, or office romance.

   The two just chatted casually.

   Kato Yusuke didn't know how to react.

   Even though the two have talked a lot about related issues before, Yoshida has so far failed to summon the courage to invite his favorite boss.

  While he was a little speechless, he also had a new understanding of how innocent his kind neighbor was.

   After all, after analyzing the conversation between the parties, he felt that the boss named Goto-san didn't seem to have no feelings for Yoshida.

   Coupled with the junior who has been playing cards all the time, he really doesn't quite understand how the client keeps him single.

   Kato Yusuke thought of this, he couldn't help sighing, and joked casually: "Mr. Yoshida, you can be considered to be single by your strength, it's really fierce."

   "Huh? What are you saying all of a sudden?" Yoshida looked blank.

   "It's nothing, it's just a compliment."

   "Hey - I can still hear praise and sarcasm, don't make fun of adults!"

   "If that's the case, why are you so emotionally retarded?"

   "This is called the prudence of adults, you will understand later."

   "I think there is a difference between being cautious and being cautious. If you are of the opposite sex, you should prefer a man who is more active? After all, Mr. Yoshida, you can't go the way of a puppy."

   "Huh? What's the little milk dog route?"

   "Although I don't know the specifics, but if you switch the roles of men and women in your relationship, it should be almost the same."

   "Turn around..."

  Yoshida murmured involuntarily, as if imagining such a scene, and then his brows furrowed forcefully.

   "—That's impossible, right!?"

   "Mr. Yoshida, your reaction is really exaggerated. Where did you substitute it?"

   "You were so noisy that you didn't think about anything."

  Yoshida smacked his lips, took a sip of coffee as if to cover it up, and said, "Besides, you said so much, do you have relevant experience?"

   "Well..."

   Kato Yusuke held his chin on purpose, thinking about it, "Actually, a rich big sister just said she wanted to wear a uniform to show me, does that count?"

   "Are you kidding me!?"

   "Did you see through?"

   "Idiot, I told you not to tease adults easily!"

   The two laughed at the same time, and the atmosphere became more relaxed than before.

   "Speaking of which, Mr. Yoshida, can I ask you one thing?"

   "What's the matter? Is the cost of living not enough? I have enough savings. I can borrow you at any time."

   "Not that kind of thing."

   Kato Yusuke stopped him, feeling a little warm in his heart, and then said, "Actually, our school has three days of off-campus teaching next week. If possible, I would like to ask Mr. Yoshida to help take care of my cat."

   "So that's the way it is, it can be ... but I only have experience raising goldfish, is it okay?"

   "Goldfish...?"

   "That's right." Yoshida scratched his cheek in annoyance and explained, "It's a goldfish that was raised in the school when I was in school. I took care of it at the time."

   Kato Yusuke opened and closed his mouth slightly, recovered from the trance state, and smiled slightly: "So have you been the biology team leader? Mr. Yoshida."

   "...It's not like that, but it just happened to be my turn in that episode."

   "What's their name?"

"what?"

   "What's the name of the goldfish that Mr. Yoshida raised?"

   "Huh? I said to you, how could anyone specifically name a goldfish?"

"makes sense."

   "That's it, I can take care of the cat for you if you think it's okay."

   "Well, no problem, then I'll leave the keys to Mr. Yoshida. My cat just needs to replenish food and water regularly, and change the cat litter."

   "Okay, I just have a rest tomorrow, you can demonstrate it to me."

   "Thank you, I should have sent it to pet boarding, but Xiao Hei used to be a stray cat. I'm not sure if it will have a stress response. Mr. Yoshida is very helpful."

   "Don't worry about this little thing, we live next door anyway, it's just incidental."

  Yoshida smiled and waved his hand, with a look of nostalgia on his face, and said, "Teaching outside school... Where are you going then?"

   "It's going to the mountains."

   "Hey, is there a suitable place for off-campus teaching around Tokyo?"

   "I don't know that, but the place we're going is Chiba Prefecture."

   "Chiba, will you go to Tokyo Disneyland?"

   "No, I'll never go to that kind of place again."

   "Well, that's a pity."

"maybe."

   Kato Yusuke smiled, without going into this topic, and turned his face to the outside of the balcony where the night was dark.

   With or without special attention, people, cities and seasons keep moving forward.

   Therefore, we must move on to the next stage. As long as the footsteps stop a little, the robbers of time will catch up.

   Like it or not, some things seem to be coming to an end.

   Kato Yusuke casually looked at the moon hanging high in the night sky, and his scattered thoughts flowed aimlessly in the night.

  The boy flew into the sky, and the girl rode the carriage.

   The plump tapir grinned, with a nightmare in his mouth.

   Today seems to be a good dream.

The idea of ​​   just came up, and mentally, I felt sleepy.

   He picked up the mug, drank the cold coffee in one breath, and exhaled a long breath.

   "I'm going to take a shower and then go to bed. Leave the cup with you first, Mr. Yoshida."

   "Then I'll bring it to you after I wash it tomorrow."

   "Okay, then good night, Mr. Yoshida."

"OK, good night."

   After saying good night to each other, Kato Yusuke returned to the house with his cup.

  The black cat lays leisurely in the litter box, and when he sees him back, he rolls playfully in the litter box. A lot of wood chips are inevitably stained with the soft black and shiny hair, which makes him look ashamed.

  A lot of cat litter spilled out of the litter box.

   Kato Yusuke was stunned for a moment when he saw this, then immediately frowned, his anger soaring.

   One person and one cat stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

  …

   Thanks to the seventh leader of Tiexinjiang!
