Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

The day after my birthday.

That is Thursday, September 24th.

Hui didn't come again.

Kato Yusuke had no way of knowing whether the girl's lie yesterday was exposed by her family, or whether it was due to some other reason.

He had no interest in thinking about it and returned to the "squatting at home" situation, but there was a bit of unknown irritability in his heart.

Until 9 o'clock in the evening.

Boom, boom!

There was a heavy knocking sound from the entrance.

When Yusuke Kato opened the door, a completely unexpected person appeared outside.

"Hey! Good evening, boy--!" The woman squinted her phoenix eyes, rested her elbows on the wall beside the door, and raised three fingers of her left hand to say hello, with a wild and uninhibited look on her face.

She wore a pure black slit dress like a cheongsam, a slim leather windbreaker of the same color, semi-transparent black pantyhose wrapping her plump thighs, and a pair of tough-style black boots on her feet.

The whole person looked very aggressive - it was Akane Akane, who had not been seen for a while.

Yusuke couldn't help being slightly startled when he saw the person clearly, but before he could react...

Snap, squeak.

"Then, I'll excuse you for a moment." Akane Benisaka said this as she pushed the door open and entered unceremoniously. She took off her boots at the entrance and raised her feet to walk inside, but was stopped by Kato. Yusuke grabbed his arm.

"Hey, why are you dragging me along?"

"Please come out, Miss Hongsaka."

"Don't worry, I will leave after we finish talking."

"No, I have nothing to talk about, so please leave." Yusuke said coldly.

"Huh? Don't be stupid. I brought good things here this time. Don't be ignorant, kid."

Akane Benisaka turned around, revealing the two high-end cardboard bags she was holding in her right hand, and laughed.

"This is a good thing that even money can't buy. Let's talk over a drink."

Kato Yusuke's brows wrinkled at first, and then slowly calmed down. After a two-second stalemate, he whispered a "good word" in reply, let go of her.

"Oh~?"

Akane Hongsaka raised an eyebrow, looked at his calm face for a moment, and opened her red lips playfully: "Nice expression, I like it."

After saying that, he walked towards the living room first, taking with him a wisp of perfume that contained a light aroma of wine.

Kato Yusuke responded without saying a word, just knocked on the door casually, and then walked towards the house.

In the living room, the red-haired lady dressed in pure black had already sat down cross-legged in front of the low table. The windbreaker on her body was thrown aside casually. She was playing with the best products she brought on the table.

They were two exquisite cardboard boxes, one black and one white, about half as long as an adult's arm.

"Special Hero Town·Now\

,""Tokugamio Town, Fourteenth Generation, Seven Drops and Twenty Strings".

These words are engraved in calligraphy fonts with hot stamping technology on the outer box made of cardboard and imitation leather.

The deep material and pen body glow slightly under the light, giving people a visual texture.

"Don't just stand there, get two better cups." Akane Kurisaka raised her head and asked, her wine-red eyes shining slightly.

Kato Yusuke didn't answer, but just took two transparent glasses from the kitchen - well, they are the kind sold at 100-yen stores, so you won't feel bad if they are broken.

"Huh? What is this?"

"cup."

"That's it???"

"Do you need it?"

The two looked at each other in the air for a moment.

Tsk…

Akane Benisaka raised her hand to hold her forehead and smacked her tongue: "Let me tell you, even if you don't know the goods, you still have to have a limit, right? Romanée-Conti in Japanese wine, the king and queen in sake, have you ever heard of it?"

Yusuke was noncommittal about this, and just asked lightly: "As long as you can drink it, it's fine. Do you need to care about this?"

Akane Benisaka was suddenly stunned for a moment, then glanced at him in surprise, and a second later she clapped her legs and laughed.

"Haha, haha, well, that's right."

As she spoke, she put her left hand on her crossed left knee and put her right arm on the table, supporting her cheek with the back of her hand, showing a male-like sitting posture.

"Then the rest is up to you, young man."

Kato Yusuke did not refuse and asked: "Which bottle should I open first?"

"First the king, then the queen, open the white bottle, fourteen generations."

"good."

After opening the outer gift box, what was placed inside was a completely black bottle of pure rice ginjo with a specification of 1800 ml. There was a white logo with the "14th Generation" logo printed on the waist.

There is an asymmetrical dragon engraved on both sides of the surface of the bottle cap. Although the craftsmanship is still fine, it lacks a bit of majesty.

Kato Yusuke couldn't find any resonance, so he took off the metal bottle cap directly along the tear, and a slightly fragrant breath overflowed from the bottle.

He put the two glasses together and slowly tilted the mouth of the bottle.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

A transparent liquid as clear as water flowed into the glass.

Kato Yusuke straightened the wine bottle and pushed one of the glasses to the opposite side.

"Oh~ It's really easy for me to wait." Akane Benisaka immediately took it, but did not drink it immediately, but looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes with interest.

Yusuke's face was very calm, and he didn't react to her gaze. He just picked up his cup and brought it to his mouth, taking a sip.

As the slightly cool liquid enters the mouth, a unique fragrant fruity aroma and fresh taste overflows the mouth.

The texture of rice wine is delicate and smooth, and the taste is rich and sweet. It has a slight aftertaste after swallowing, which is completely different from the spiciness he imagined.

He drank the rest in one gulp.

See this...

"Oh? You drank quite boldly."

Akane Hongsaka chuckled and said, "How about it? The so-called Seven Drops and Twenty Guns is one of the secret brewing methods of this family.

During the production, 75 kilograms of wine rice added with rice koji is hung in a cloth bag. During this period, the wine liquid is completely allowed to drip by its own gravity. In the end, only 7 drops are obtained. Do you think it tastes good? "

Kato Yusuke didn't react at all. He just poured himself another glass and drank slowly without saying a word.

Akane Kurisaka also picked up her own cup and said while drinking: "Let's continue talking about what happened last time. So, have you thought about the answer to the previous bet?"

"...With your current status, do you still care about money?"

"What? Have you forgotten the content of the agreement? What I want is you."

"Let's talk about that matter after we finish drinking." Yusuke thought to himself and didn't take her words to heart.

Although he didn't understand the King of Sake, nor did he understand the Seven Drops and Twenty Guns, it didn't matter. He just wanted to drink.

Akane Kurisaka frowned, glanced around the room, and asked: "By the way, don't you have any food to go with the drinks here?"

"I'll get it."

"Oh~ bring me another ashtray by the way."

"That one doesn't exist, please use your own."

"Ah, okay."

However, when Yusuke Kato placed a pile of "dishes" on the table, she couldn't help but be stunned.

pocky, coffee pudding, Calbee potato chips, bamboo shoot chocolate...

"What the hell is this?"

"An appetizer."

"...Maybe I didn't make it clear, but aren't there any fried chicken nuggets, edamame, salted prunes, or pickles here?"

Yusuke didn't say anything to this, just looked at her with a look that was not very smart.

"This is not an izakaya." - Akane Kurisaka saw this meaning in his eyes and couldn't help but curled her lips.

"Hey, there's no other way...then let's do this."

As she spoke, she drank the wine in the glass, then picked up the windbreaker that was placed aside, and took out cigarettes, lighters, and portable tobacco pouches.

Ding - click, click.

Along with the sound of the zippo lighter, a Seven Star cigarette was lit.

call……

The alluring red lips blew out a mouthful of gray smoke, and the smoke slowly rose up in the room.

She raised her hand to smooth her brown-red hair and muttered casually: "I didn't expect you to like snacks. How can you drink something like this with wine..."

Kato Yusuke thought for a while, then got up and went to the kitchen again. When he came back, he already had 4 packs of dried fish in his hand.

"You can eat this if you don't like it."

"Oh~? Isn't this something a bit decent?"

Akane Hongsaka nodded, temporarily extinguished the cigarette that had not been smoked for two puffs, reached out and picked up a pack of dried fish and tore it open.

Ding ding dong dong~

The Cartier bracelet worn on the left wrist emits a crisp and sweet melody due to the collision, which is very beautiful.

Her fingers are very slender, and her nails are painted with red nail polish, which makes her skin very fair.

She ate a small piece of dried fish, chewed it slowly in her mouth, stretched out her tongue and licked the salt grains off her fingertips, and then took a sip of rice wine with an expression of great enjoyment on her face.

"Come to think of it."

Akane Akane raised her drunken eyes, and opened her red lips slightly: "What's the matter with your hair? Are you a brat? You actually dye your hair... No, you are indeed a brat after all."

"..."

Kato Yusuke ignored her and just drank cup after cup of rice wine without saying a word.

"Hey, why don't you talk about something? It's boring like this."

"...There are so many talented painters in the industry, why are you obsessed with me?"

"Huh? There are many talented painters... So why don't you come and take a look at two of them?"

"Eri Kashiwagi."

"Tsk, are you serious?"

"...?"

"I thought you were going to name something outrageous, but you actually gave the example of a stable painter. It's simply more boring than the topic you raised. There is nothing that has a slightly drastic change and is as monster-like as you. Is there an example?”

"..."

"That Eri Kashiwagi is almost a finished product. Considering her qualifications, you should know this, right?"

Kato Yusuke looked up at her and whispered back: "...I just took a shortcut."

"Shortcut? What shortcut?" Akane Hongsaka poured wine into her empty glass and said sarcastically:

"Speaking of which, I'm in Youming's apartment. There are some pretty good kids living downstairs. How about I introduce them to you? With your looks, you can save twenty years of struggle with just a little bit of sleeping skills... Male and female Yes, which side do you want?"

"..."

"Ah~ If you feel tired of it, it's not impossible to change to another one. This is what dqn does, isn't it?"

Yusuke's eyes became slightly colder, then returned to indifference, and he asked: "...Is there anyone more valuable than Akane Kurisaka?"

Akane Kurisaka was startled for a moment, and then the corner of her mouth curved with contempt, "What? So the prey is me? Okay, let's go to "rouge en rouge" first. Whether you can realize your ambition depends on your ability. "

"..."

With the joint efforts of the two, a 1.8-liter bottle of "Fourteenth Generation" was quickly finished, and then another bottle of "Now" was also opened.

While Kato Yusuke was pouring the wine, Akane Kurisaka also changed into a comfortable sitting position.

She sat sideways, with her left hand on the carpet behind her and her right hand on the table. One of her legs wrapped in stockings was stretched out flat and the other bent at the chest, showing off her graceful curves.

"Basically, Eri Kashiwagi, who is highly praised by you, is far from qualified. Even the sister of one of my boys is much more malleable than her... You might as well tell me how to come to my place, right? "

"...I don't have what you expect here."

"I don't care, you are indispensable to making the game I came up with that makes my heart beat excited."

Kato Yusuke pushed the newly poured rice wine towards her and drank his own cup.

Gudu, Gudu.

Compared with the previous bottle of Fourteenth Generation, the current wine is purer and more transparent, very soft, and the taste is a bit more delicate.

He pulled the collar of his shirt, revealing a corner of his toned chest. His body was a little hot under the influence of alcohol, and his dull heart felt a little ups and downs.

"Right now, I have no intention of playing games."

"Don't want to play games?" Akane Kurisaka glanced at him sideways after hearing this, "Then what do you want to do?"

"When I'm short of money, I draw a notebook and be an ordinary person."

"What's the meaning?"

Kato Yusuke stopped talking again, and just drank the rice wine silently, as if he understood the preciousness of these two bottles of sake, and felt that drinking one bottle would make a lot of money... but it was a bit different.

Akane Kurisaka didn't quite understand the specific details, but that didn't stop her from also raising a glass as if she was competing with him.

In the blink of an eye, another half bottle of rice wine was consumed.

It wasn't until the bottle of wine was about to bottom out that Kato Yusuke slowly began to speak.

"...It means that I have no plans to do anything anymore, whether it's your project or my studio, I'm sorry."

A deep, hoarse voice echoed in the room, his tone full of undisguised depression.

"What--??"

Akane Hongsaka froze on the spot and asked instinctively: "Why didn't you say this earlier??"

Kato Yusuke raised his drunken eyes, slowly poured the last bit of wine in the bottle into the glass, and drank it.

Gudu... Gudu...

"...Ha, that's it anyway."

There was a gap of ten to fifteen seconds.

Hongsaka Zhuyinfeng's eyebrows were furrowed, her face instantly became serious, and her sharp eyes looked at him for a moment, as if to confirm the truth or falsehood of what she said.

I saw that the other party's eyes were dull and dull, his expression was decadent, and his body exuded a sense of deep dejection and desolation, as if one foot had already stepped into the grave.

This bastard is cheating on my good stuff——!

After realizing this, a nameless anger welled up in his chest.

She stood up suddenly from the ground, walked around the table and walked in front of him, then raised a leg and kicked someone in the chest.

——Dong, bang.

The unsuspecting Kato Yusuke fell to the ground and saw the brightly lit ceiling.

Swish, swish.

A right foot wrapped in black stockings was on the chest below his neck, grinding back and forth vigorously, exuding a faint smell of leather and perfume.

"……what are you doing?"

He frowned and raised his eyes up his thighs.

Between the high-cut skirt that opens to the thighs, you can vaguely see the lace underwear covering the black pantyhose, which is very hazy.

A little further up, there is the black lady who blocks the light.

A pair of wine-red eyes were staring at him from top to bottom, with cold eyes that seemed to freeze him.

Whether it was this posture or the look in his eyes, Kato Yusuke felt very humiliated and unhappy.

"Step aside."

He warned in a cold tone, reaching out to push the other person's feet and trying to sit up.

However, Akane Benisaka stepped on him hard, then raised her foot to cross his body, pressed down on him, knelt on the ground with her legs, and grabbed his collar with her left hand.

"How dare you ask me what I'm doing? That's what I want to say, kid!" She said viciously, her eyes as if they were about to penetrate Kato Yusuke.

then……

Akane Benisaka raised her right hand high and swung it down quickly and hard.

--Snapped!

Along with a crisp sound that resounded throughout the room, a burning pain immediately rose from the left side of Yusuke's face.

In an instant, deathly silence filled the living room.

Kato Yusuke's dim eyes suddenly ignited with anger, exuding a frightening feeling.

Immediately afterwards——

He suddenly reached out and pushed Akane Benisaka aside, turned over and pressed on top of him, then raised his right hand and slapped the other person in the same position.

--Snapped!

Her long brown hair was messy and spread out on the floor.

"Pooh……"

Akane Benisaka turned around with a wanton and flamboyant smile and mocked:

"...What? Is that all you have?"

Smoke drifted upwards in the room, and the two men sank downwards in the room.

…
