Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

——"Concerning Kasumigaoka-senpai and Vice-President Kato, what do you want to do next, President?"

Faced with this inquiry, Kato Yusuke could not help but frown slightly and asked: "What do you mean?"

"Because~~~"

Shinjoka tilted her head and said, "The president seems to have recognized Kasumigaoka-senpai's identity now, right? Then do I have to cover up this matter in the future?"

If Kato Yusuke originally told her what he meant, it was to solve the rumors about both Megumi and Shiyu at the same time.

However, now that Shiyu has become his real girlfriend, and Kato Yusuke does not intend to hide this from others, the plan must be adjusted.

She couldn't have just refuted the rumors about Kato Yusuke and Shiyu's relationship, and then the two of them were having sex on campus.

Even a fool wouldn't believe it.

Even rumors must be reasonable.

Compared with lies that are 10% true or 10% false, lies that are nine times true and one falsehood are more likely to confuse people's attention.

For example, it's like the arrangement she also made for An Yilun.

The higher the truth content of a thing, the easier it is for people to believe its authenticity.

Kato Yusuke understood what she meant, so he said: "Senior Shiu, there is nothing you need to do. From now on, you just need to take good care of Megumi."

"That's it~ Well, I understand!"

"Is there any difficulty?"

"Hey, where is that? Why do you say that?"

"Nothing, just asking."

"Not at all~"

Shinjoka shook her head repeatedly and put her hands behind her back.

This kind of action highlights the plump peaks even more, strongly asserting its own sense of existence.

"To be honest, I didn't do anything. The really powerful person is the president."

She said: "Thanks to the big news you made, President, everyone's attention has been completely diverted now.

Even when Kasumigaoka-senpai kissed you that day, since she has become the president’s girlfriend, there is no need for me to do anything~

Just because of this, it has become much easier for me to move around ~ so it is not difficult at all. "

"That's fine."

Kato Yusuke nodded slightly and asked, "How much money do you have left if you want to move out of your home?"

"Eh? Let me think about it..."

Shinjou Xiang opened his fingers and counted them.

"Because my plan is to move out when I save 1 million. The president gave me 600,000 before, so I still have 400,000 to reach my goal~~"

"Only 400,000 is enough?"

"Yes~"

Kato Yusuke took a deep look at her and asked, "Where do you spend your daily expenses? Where do they come from?"

"Huh?"

Shinjoka was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.

"My mother also gives me pocket money for my living expenses. I earn it by drinking with the uncles. In addition, I am also saving money, so I can get by~"

She spoke in a relaxed manner, but her tone did not contain any true feelings.

As if she was deliberately trying to show off her nonchalant side, she wore a thick mask on her face.

Kato Yusuke looked at her face, and for no reason he remembered the way he looked when he first met Sayu.

Girls at that time were like her, always hiding their true feelings behind their smiling faces.

Wear a deliberate and flattering smile every day and live your life carefully.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but become a little lost in thought.

Vaguely, Shinjoka seemed to change into Sayu's appearance.

He couldn't help but reach out his hand, explore that cute little face, and rub it gently.

The touch that comes from your fingertips is smooth and delicate, full of youthful vitality.

"...President?"

Shinjoka blinked frequently, feeling a little surprised by his sudden intimate behavior, but she still cooperated and raised her face to let him touch her, and then asked cautiously.

"Do you want me? President..."

This sentence brought Kato Yusuke back to reality.

His pupils moved slightly and gradually regained focus. Then he took his hand back and sighed secretly.

"...It's not like that, forget about it."

After finishing speaking, he fell into silence.

"...?"

Shinjoka looked at his face thoughtfully and spoke tentatively.

"...Although the president may not care much about this, I have stopped doing messy part-time jobs a long time ago? After all, I only belong to the president. I have always remembered this."

Kato Yusuke nodded absently and said nothing. After a while, he said in a deep voice:

"...I didn't bring much cash with me today. Come to school tomorrow to get it from me, and I'll fill the remaining gap for you."

"——Huh? But the president gave me this month's money last month?"

"It doesn't matter, just do it."

"Like This……"

Shinjoka nodded her head obediently, her eyes were bright and uncontrollably showing a bit of excitement, and she thought for a moment.

Looking at Kato Yusuke who was standing there, looking at a brick wall in a daze, she stretched out her hands forward and pulled up his right hand hanging on the side of her thigh.

"In short, I understand what the president means. Then let's confirm it~"

"?"

Facing Kato Yusuke's confused eyes, she just grabbed his hand and pressed it on the tall and proud mountain peak.

Mom~

The palms that were stuck in the mud squeezed out the outline, and the dark blue uniform jacket suddenly produced many fine wrinkles.

"Huh?~"

"!?"

Kato Yusuke jerked his hand away, frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Hey hehe~~"

Shinjoka narrowed her eyes teasingly and said in a very cheerful tone: "As a thank you, I want to give my favorite president a stamp~"

"This joke doesn't make any sense."

"Really? Then..."

She smiled and spread her arms, and asked innocently: "How about I give you a hug? Although I don't know very well, but hugging JK should make it very comfortable, right?"

"..."

Kato Yusuke was silent for a long time, with a turbulent undercurrent in his heart, and then whispered: "...Stop pretending...to be like her."

"Eh--?"

Shinjoka tilted her head in astonishment, not understanding what he meant.

Kato Yusuke had no intention of explaining.

In order to conceal his inner turmoil, he changed the subject without question.

"...What did you want to do when we were at the dinner table just now?"

"On the table……?"

Shinjoka thought about it for a moment and asked, "Is the president talking about the time when Senior Sister Kasumigaoka and Vice President Kato were competing?"

"Um."

"Hmm~ Actually, it's nothing special.

I just thought about spoiling the situation by pretending to accidentally spill the drink.

Having said that, that method can only solve a temporary emergency. And including annoying Kasumigaoka-senpai, there are plenty of troubles in the future. "

"..."

Kato Yusuke nodded without making any comment.

He just asked casually, and since he got the answer, there was no need to stay any longer.

So after saying "Go back", he prepared to return to the restaurant.

I just turned around...

"——Now, President."

Shinjoka called him from behind.

"There is one more thing I think it is necessary to tell you."

"What's the matter?" - Kato Yusuke asked with his eyes.

"President, you are not planning to give up on Vice President Kato, right?"

"...What do you want to say?"

"As I just said, the same thing applies to Sawamura-san. Although the president is fine this time, this balance cannot last forever, right?"

Ignoring his deeply furrowed brows, Shinjoka continued with concern.

"As long as the president doesn't want to give up on Vice-President Kato, potential conflicts will continue to accumulate, and then on the last day, this will happen."

——Boo.

She drew a big circle in front of her body, as if there were fireworks blooming in her hands, expressing her meaning vividly.

"When that time comes—"

Shinjoka showed a somewhat mature smile and said to him: "You understand, right? President. Everyone you care about will be involved and explode until nothing is left, right?"

Kato Yusuke's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes darkened slightly.

Woohoo...

A gust of wind suddenly blew, passing between the narrow alleys, sending out sad whimpering into the ears.

The sky was cut into long and thin pieces by the alley, and the lamps on the canopy were turned into a silent fiery red by the ancient light of the city, just like the chapped skin of a mother-in-law glowing against the setting sun.

Shinjoka smiled lightly without any malice, her light short hair swaying in front of her childlike yet vaguely mature face, giving the illusion of looking into the future through time.

"..."

Kato Yusuke pursed his slightly dry lips, made a swallowing motion unconsciously, and said heavily:

"This is not something you should worry about. I have my own sense of discretion."

"That's it, that's good~"

Shinjoka nodded without thinking too much, his face returned to that pretentious and leisurely smile, and then he declared:

“As the president’s contract partner, I am the one who most hopes that the president can live longer.

Otherwise, I would not be able to survive alone without my place of residence. "

As she spoke, she leaned forward with her hands behind her back, showed a big bright smile to Kato Yusuke, and said with a smile:

"In this sense, I love the president more than anyone else~!"

"..."

Kato Yusuke remained silent.

In the end, he just picked up another girl, but she was not the one he wanted.

The brief interlude passed quickly.

Before arousing anyone's suspicion, the two returned to the restaurant one after another.

◇

After the dinner party is over.

Kato Yusuke took Shiyu home on his bicycle as usual, and then returned to the apartment alone.

After worrying about the pantyhose in his pocket, he put the pair of clothes worn by the girl into a small box and put them in the closet.

I opened a can for the black cat who was looking after the house alone, cleaned up the fallen hair in the room, and cleaned the cat's litter box.

By the time all this work was done, the bath water he started putting in when he got home was almost ready.

Since the day was too long, even a lively person like him couldn't help but feel tired, so he decided to take a bath to relax.

Throw the clothes you need to wash into the washing machine, then lie naked in the bathtub.

Hot water suddenly surged from all over his body, wrapping his body softly.

At this moment, a kind of spiritual comfort arises spontaneously.

Even though the narrow bathtub did not allow him to fully extend his legs and could only bend his knees to soak in it, the feeling was still extremely comfortable.

It's like taking away all the fatigue from a long day's work.

Kato Yusuke closed his eyes in enjoyment, placed his hands lazily on the edge of the bathtub, and then called out: "System."

"..."

There was no response, but he knew that thing should be able to hear him, so he continued to ask:

"Explain to me what the [Master of the Harem] mission is this afternoon."

"...The limited time mission [Master of the Harem], the mission status is failed and not completed."

The melodious electronic female voice followed the script sternly, and there was an obvious cognitive bias between the two parties regarding the meaning of "explanation."

In other words, it is not on the same channel.

Kato Yusuke "tsk" and then asked: "...Do you have any ideas to help girls get along harmoniously?"

Three bold characters faintly appeared in my mind:

——[Open a harem? 】

In addition to the inexplicable addition of square brackets, there is even a special effect like a highlight reminder around the font, which flashes in the mind like a light bulb that is constantly being turned on and off.

This nasty dog ​​system!

Kato Yusuke suddenly glared and became angry.

"What are you excited about?"

Ever since.

blgblg～

Jingle bell~

——[Open a harem? 】

This time, even the sound effects have been thoughtfully matched.

"…………"

Kato Yusuke was speechless for a while.

For some reason, the style of this system suddenly became less serious...

He took a deep breath, picked up a handful of hot water and slapped it on his face, and rubbed his face vigorously, trying to dispel the five-cent special effects in his mind.

At this time.

‘Tip, you can redeem the skill [Hypnosis] through the store. ’

‘Explanation: Mrs. Sawamura, you don’t want your daughter to know about us, right? ’

Um---? ? ? ? ?

Why is Sayuri the protagonist used as the explanation?

Could this dog system be named Cao? ?

This system eavesdropped on their last conversation at Sawamura's house! And he even used Sayuri Sawamura’s jokes to cause trouble!

A series of thoughts suddenly popped up in Kato Yusuke's mind.

Old people, subways, mobile phones.

If he was just speechless just now, now he no longer has any hope in this system.

It was obvious that whether the system was serious or deliberately trying to trick him, the other party had no intention of helping him solve his problems.

Reminiscing about the past.

From the day they were bound.

Although the system has never forced him to do anything, it has no intention of giving him gifts generously.

No matter what he wants to obtain, he needs to actively strive for it through action.

In this process, the system only plays a role as a booster and catalyst, and is usually laissez-faire.

So the idea of ​​trying to get a solution from the system was wrong from the beginning.

Furthermore, there is never a standard answer in the world of feelings.

As for the [Hypnosis] skill that the system put forward out of spite, he had no intention of breaking the situation in that way.

Controlling the will of others to satisfy selfish desires...

Kato Yusuke believed that he could not use such evil methods against those who occupied an important position in his heart.

Such and such, this is the end of my random thoughts.

He moved down and lay on his back in the bathtub, concentrating on enjoying the soaking process.

The system in the brain also calmed down again...
