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

  Friday evening, Kato's old apartment.

  The intermittent sound of water reverberates in the room, establishing a link between the living room and the bathroom, connecting the two spaces.

  Under the bright light, Shi Yu sat at the desk, leaned back against the back of the chair, and naturally crossed her legs.

  She crossed her chest with one hand, put her right hand on her ear, parted her red lips slightly, and said to the person on the other side of the phone:

   "Well, Yu-chan is taking a shower now, so he can't hear our conversation, you can rest assured."

   Slowly—

   "Well...it's already 9:40, Kasumigaoka-senpai, aren't you planning to go home?"

  The other party's questioning tone also carried a hint of imperceptible temptation, which made Shi Yu's mouth slightly rise.

   "Hey~~ Didn't I tell you Kato-san? I'm going to spend the night at Yu-chan's place tonight~"

   "...Oh~~ That's right."

   "Envy~?"

   "Huh...why should I envy my senior sister?"

   "Jealous~?"

   "No, I wouldn't think that way. This is between Kasumigaoka-senpai and Yusuke, and has nothing to do with me, so I won't ask for trouble."

   "Hehe~ You talk more, huh? Kato-san."

   "..."

  Hui simply stopped talking, and asked after a while:

   "...Well, Kasumigaoka-senpai, considering our current cooperative relationship, can senpai stop talking about such explosive words and focus on the business?"

  Shiyu licked his lips playfully, tapped his toes on the floor, and slowly turned the swivel chair back and forth.

   "Ah, it's really embarrassing, I quite like your gaffe~~ Well, anyway, do you have anything important to say?"

   "It's not really an important thing, I just want to ask Kasumigaoka-senpai, what do you think of Ms. Sayu's visit to the studio that day?"

   "What do you think?" Shiyu casually played with her nails, thinking about it.

   "Didn't Xiao Jianai tell us all the details? The girl probably wants to use the association to express herself in front of Yu-chan."

   "From the conclusion alone, I think it's not bad. At least the pressure on Yu-chan will be much less. I just don't know if she can really make the association independent as she said."

  Megumi asked without emotion: "In other words, is Kasumigaoka-senpai supporting this matter?"

   "Hmm~ At least this is better than that girl pestering Yusuke every day, and we don't have to worry about whether she might enter the studio. Don't you think?"

   "Well, maybe it's just like the senior sister said, this should be considered a good thing, for now..."

  Shiyu heard something from her tone, and asked: "You seem to have a different opinion, Kato-san?"

   "I always feel that the other party should still be in frequent contact with Yusuke because of the association's affairs." Huibu said softly without worry.

  Shi Yu thought for a while, and then asked: "Don't you want to completely stop their contact?"

  After a few breaths, there was a hum from the earpiece.

"-yes."

  Shi Yu chuckled lightly: "Oh~ you actually admitted it directly?"

   "Because we're a partnership now, we shouldn't hide things from each other, right?"

   Without waiting for a response, Kei continued in a calm tone.

   "Besides, since we talked with Shinjo-san last time, everyone should have reached a consensus that Ms. Sayu is the cause of Yusuke's trauma."

   "So? Kato-san, what's your opinion on this situation? On the premise of hiding Yu-chan's knowledge, there are many restrictions on our actions. We can't just come to protest like the other party, right?"

  Shi Yu said with some nerve-wracking, feeling a little tricky.

  They seem to have a large number of people, but they are far less free than the other side. It is difficult to take the initiative to attack, and they can only passively defend, which is naturally at a disadvantage.

   "If possible, I will try not to make things too embarrassing, so that both everyone and Yusuke will be embarrassed."

  Hui said unhurriedly, and then changed his words.

   "Speaking of which, I'm actually planning to go shopping with Yusuke on Sunday, Kasumigaoka-senpai, do you have any plans for tomorrow?"

   "Huh? Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

   "Well, it's not sudden, is it? Didn't everyone agree to take turns before? And this will also reduce the chance of Yusuke and Ms. Sayu getting in touch."

   In short, it is the so-called crowd tactics.

  Shiyu understood what she meant, and asked deeply, "What did Kano and Sawamura say?"

   "I asked the two of them in advance, but they don't seem to plan to ask Yusuke. How about you, Kasumigaoka-senpai?"

   "—Then I'm going on a date with Yu-chan tomorrow."

   "Well, I see, then I will talk to Hasumi-sensei and Eiriri later, let's discuss the future schedule."

"Can."

  Shi Yu simply agreed, reaching out to pick up the mug from the table, slowly sipping coffee, thinking about which bookstore is suitable for a date.

  She is not as good at cooking as the person on the other side of the phone, and can firmly grasp a man's stomach, but at least she can gain the man's approval through her own knowledge, and be a girlfriend with both talent and beauty.

   "By the way, Kasumigaoka-senpai."

  Megumi asked as if thinking of something: "Do you think Ms. Sayu has ever been to Yusuke's in private?"

   "No."——Shiyu just wanted to deny it, but when the words came to his lips, he stopped suddenly, and frowned unconsciously.

   "...So, I saw a handkerchief with Yu-chan before, and his reaction was a bit strange. I suspect it might be something that girl gave him."

   "Why does Kasumigaoka-senpai think so?"

   "Yu-chan said at the time that someone else had lent him that handkerchief, and he didn't find a chance to return it, but I asked around and no one had ever lent it to him."

   "Is that handkerchief still there?"

   "I don't know, he put it in the closet."

   "Then, can I trouble my sister to confirm? Ah, if it's convenient, please take a photo for me."

  Shi Yu asked dissatisfiedly: "I'm not a private investigator who searches for evidence of my husband's infidelity, why don't you do such dirty work yourself?"

  Hui explained calmly:

   "If Kasumigaoka-senpai doesn't want to, I can do it, but I'm not sure that I can do it as naturally as senior sister. It may leave some flaws, and senior sister can easily deal with it even if she is discovered."

   "...Kato-san, are you flattering me?"

   "No, I'm just objectively analyzing what everyone is good at. When necessary, Kasumigaoka-senpai can also direct me."

   After a little hesitation—

   "...Understood, then I will hang up first. If there is any situation, I will post it in the group later."

  After finishing speaking, Shi Yu hung up the phone, then got up and walked to the side of the room where the bow was hung, and stopped in front of the wardrobe.

  Look sideways into the hallway.

  The sound of water in the bathroom is still ringing, and there is no sign of stopping.

  The black cat is lying on the door of the bathroom like a loyal dog, waiting for the owner to take a bath, and watching her with prying eyes.

  Shi Yu was a little unnatural to see the pair of green cat eyes, and turned his eyes away from the black cat, opened the closet, and seized the time to act.

   According to the previous memory, I opened the lower drawer, and the scene inside appeared in the field of vision.

  Opening the impressive little box, a stream of citrus that seemed to be absent came out, and there were two pure white handkerchiefs in it.

  Shiyu was silent for a while, and turned her gaze to the drawer again.

  A bundle of envelopes **** with rubber bands is neatly stacked in the corner.

  …
