Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

"Clatter, crash, crash -"

In the spacious and bright space, the warm yellow light exudes a hazy light in the rising fog.

As a strong figure stepped into the pool, the reflection on the water was shattered into pieces by the ripples spreading from the inside out. But it didn't take long for it to slowly return to its original state, and no abnormalities could be seen except that the water surface was slightly higher than before.

Standing in this bathtub, which is as big as half a swimming pool, enjoying the gentle caressing of the slightly hot water, it is as if all the physical and mental fatigue has been relieved in an instant, making people unable to help but relax.

At the same time, a girl's pleasant voice came from the phone in her hand: "Have you gone in yet~?"

"Well, come in."

Even though he knew he couldn't be seen on the other side, Kato Yusuke still nodded habitually and asked the girl's avatar on the screen: "What were you doing before? I called you but didn't answer the call."

"Well, I went out to buy ingredients for dinner with Asami, and I accidentally forgot my phone at home. I'm sorry."

Sayu on the other end of the phone explained apologetically, and then changed the subject: "Then, has Yusuke eaten already? What did you have for dinner?"

Leaning back on the edge of the bathtub, Kato Yusuke replied calmly: "Well... I ate salad, fish and chips, and cream of mushroom soup."

"Eh, is that so? It's completely Western food... Speaking of which, you did mention that the girl is of mixed British and Japanese descent. Did she cook it herself?"

"No, Yinglili is not independent enough yet. I think it was probably their maid or chef who did it."

"Wow, you actually said maid!"

Sayu murmured: "...or something, it shouldn't be like this, right?"

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but smile at this: "Well, it's not that kind. Although she can speak Japanese, the maid is a foreigner, and even her name is Sophia."

"You actually said foreigners...!"

The girl said without concealing her surprise: "I always thought that this kind of thing could only be seen on TV. I should say that girl is a real eldest lady."

"Ah, that's true in a sense."

As he spoke, he explained the other party's parents' visit to the UK with the ambassador, and then continued to ask: "...That's about it. Do you want to consider coming to accompany me? If Ying Lili is the only one, she probably won't Too nervous."

There was a brief silence.

"...So what exactly does that girl want you to do?"

"It's unclear about that."

"Eh??"

"But it should be to help catch up on deadlines for the work, just like the previous time."

Kato Yusuke put a hot towel on his face and said, "How are you doing? Do you want to come?"

There was a bit of comfort and laziness in his tone, and together with the sound of flowing water, it passed through the microphone and reached the girl's ears.

"……oh."

Sayu responded somewhat unhappily: "But as expected, forget it, don't you feel like this is like being a "girly girl"? "

After a pause, he continued: "But on the other hand, can Yusuke agree to a few conditions for me?"

"condition?"

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "For example, timely reporting, discussion and contact?"

"Wow, why can you talk about this kind of thing like the "Newspaper Business Association"? "

First he complained in surprise, and then asked Xing Xing: "...but...can't it?"

After he finished speaking, even the slight breathing stopped temporarily.

Suddenly, the girl's anxious look appeared in front of her, holding her cell phone in both hands and holding her breath.

He couldn't help but said silently: "...Compared to that, I would rather you be by my side now."

Because the towel was covering his face, his voice sounded a bit muffled, but anyone could hear the sincerity in his words.

Then there was a burst of narrow-minded laughter from the opposite side: "... Even if you say so, you are not allowed to allow others to step into the bathroom while you are taking a shower at home. The statement became contradictory. Oh, Yusuke~"

"You know that's not what I'm referring to." Kato Yusuke couldn't help but feel speechless.

However, Sayu seemed extremely happy about this, and even his voice became much lighter, like a jumping lark.

"Yeah, I know~"

Just listen to the girl murmuring in a low voice: "Because I am the same. If I could, I really don't want to be separated from you for a moment. So... can you finish your things earlier and take me home?"

Having said this, the two of them couldn't help but become quiet at the same time.

It was as if there was a thread connecting them together. Even though the two of them were not in the same position at the moment, they could clearly perceive each other's existence.

It was a wonderful, connected feeling, as if the other person was by your side now, which made people feel inexplicably stable.

After being silent for a long time, Kato Yusuke slowly let out a breath: "Yes, I understand. Do you have any other requests?"

"Well... then..."

Sayu said timidly: "If someone can miss me, I will be very happy."

In response, the boy couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and sunk his body down a little, so that the water surface could reach his neck.

While feeling the hot water wrapped around him, he asked in a warm voice on the phone: "Speaking of which, do you have any other arrangements over there?"

"Huh? I think it's just dinner. I don't know about the rest yet. What's wrong?"

"In this case……"

Kato Yusuke said thoughtfully: "If it's convenient, should we have a video call?"

"...Huh? Wait, you mean...?"

"It's when I'm working. Although I may not be able to chat with you, I can still show you the work scene. If you don't feel bored..."

With almost a rush to answer, Sayu immediately responded: "Well, I want to see it!"

Then, as if he was surprised by his eagerness, he added in a low voice: "...Ah, I mean, if I can..."

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but smile at this: "I know, let's do this for now. I will discuss it with Eiriri later and contact you later."

"Yeah! Then I'm going to help prepare dinner, see you later~"

After saying that, the two ended the call.

What they didn't know was that although the communication was terminated due to physical means, the two of them stared at their phones silently for a long time after that, as if they were still immersed in some kind of afterglow.
