Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

Kato Yusuke looked at the burly middle-aged man standing behind him, raised his left hand and pressed the other man's left hand on his right shoulder, and said two words with a gloomy face.

"-let go."

"Yo ho?"

The man raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that he didn't scream out, but he didn't take his words to heart and said disapprovingly:

"My endurance is pretty good. What if I don't let go - huh!?"

Before he finished speaking, a fast and fierce turning whip punch was directed towards his face.

Mr. Lin was shocked and instinctively raised his right arm to block. When the fists and arms collided, there was a crisp sound of "Bang!"

This kid has so much strength——!

Mr. Lin's arm went numb, and he felt as if he had been hit with a steel rod. Before he had time to think too much, he caught a shadow from below in his peripheral vision.

It was a leg-cutting kick, with the butt pushing the calf to exert force. Once the kick was taken, it would never end well!

He hurriedly raised his knees to block, and at the same time turned his palm into a knife and stabbed the opponent's throat, but when he was blocked by the opponent's elbow, he punched him in the abdomen.

"——Uh-huh!"

Mr. Lin was in pain and could only bend his back and retreat. Just as he regained his footing, Kato Yusuke had already approached in time and followed up with a mid-position leg sweep, still aiming at his head.

He didn't care about anything else and immediately ducked to the ground to dodge.

Kato Yusuke took advantage of the situation and twisted around, using his left foot as a fulcrum, and kicked his right foot down like a raptor ascending to the sky. His swift and violent movements broke through the wind and made even his clothes snap.

--boom!

The thick boots hit the ground hard, stirring up a small cloud of dust.

Mr. Lin rolled out of the way and took the opportunity to distance himself. Cold sweat broke out on his back.

He stood up in a hurry, ignoring the dust-stained suit, and looked at the young man in the distance with fear.

"...What a good boy! He's still a practicing master!?"

Kato Yusuke turned around and looked indifferently. His silver hair was fluttering in the wind, his eyes were like torches, and he exuded a heart-stopping aura.

Mr. Lin's breathing stagnated slightly, and he suddenly felt that he was not facing a student who could be manipulated at will, but something more dangerous.

At the same time, everyone on the sidelines also reacted.

From the two people's hasty fight to now, everything happened too fast and without warning. Everyone was stunned, their brains couldn't keep up with the reality at all, and only now did they finally realize what happened.

They shouted and wanted to run up to stop them, but Kato Yusuke stopped them.

"Don't even come here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kato Yusuke rushed forward without saying a word, and his right hand struck out like lightning. Mr. Lin was shocked and angry, but he responded immediately.

--boom!

Seeing his fist hit the opponent's elbow, Kato Yusuke immediately bent his left arm inward, moved forward to close the distance with his feet, and swung his elbow to hit Mr. Lin's cheek. His temper was outrageous.

Mr. Lin twisted his waist to avoid his elbow and struggled with him. The two fists collided, their elbows leaned on each other, and there were a few muffled bangs.

Kato Yusuke's eyes flashed coldly, and his fists and elbows hit his nose, throat, and chest one after another.

Mr. Lin's burly body swayed, and he felt that the area where he was hit was completely numb. He couldn't help shouting angrily:

"You have a dirty trick! You have to be merciful and merciful——!"

However, Kato Yusuke just stared at him without saying a word, his dark eyes full of violent ferocity, like a beast out of its cage.

When Mr. Lin saw this, he didn't know that he had just hit the opponent's gun, becoming a way for the young man to vent his anger.

Seeing that things were getting worse, he no longer...or dared not hold back any longer.

Kato Yusuke's strength is astonishing, and his attacks are fierce and fierce. If he is not careful at all, he will be injured. This is the saying that boxing is afraid of young people.

Mr. Lin immediately changed his strategy in a flash of thought. He responded to Kato Yusuke's attack with every move, while waiting for opportunities to find the opponent's flaws.

When Kato Yusuke struck at his neck with his palm, Mr. Lin immediately swung to the left, with a trace of cruelty in his eyes.

It's now--!

He immediately seized the opportunity, touched the ground with one hand and kicked Kato Yusuke's ankle with his sweeping leg.

When he thought about it, no matter how amazing the opponent's skills were, his lower body was definitely his weakness.

Putting aside everything else, just looking at the many women around this boy, it is obvious that he is addicted to beauty.

With this thought in mind, Mr. Lin's foot force increased a little more, and he kicked Kato Yusuke's foot hard.

——Boom!

Like a stone being kicked, a muffled sound sounded from beneath their feet.

Unexpectedly, Kato Yusuke's body only shook slightly and immediately returned to normal.

Not to mention being kicked to the ground by him, the opponent didn't even stagger. His legs were as solid as mountains rooted in the ground, without any looseness at all!

"This is impossible--!!"

Mr. Lin shouted in horror, completely unable to understand how the other party could practice the lower body to such an extent despite his young age.

"You old man is looking for death!"

Kato Yusuke had a cold and fierce light in his eyes, held his head with both hands, and gave him a fierce knee strike directly in front of the door.

--boom!

"——Pfft!"

Mr. Lin's head tilted back, a mouthful of blood spurted out into the sky, and his nose made a faint clicking sound.

Kato Yusuke was unyielding. He spread his legs and twisted his hips while swinging his arms and fists, hoping to land another blow on the opponent's face.

His fists were fierce and domineering, blasting out like a tiger descending from a mountain.

Mr. Lin, who was in a state of confusion, could clearly feel the strong wind coming from his fist and was unable to react at all.

Just when he closed his eyes and prepared to take the punch, a loud cry with a crying tone suddenly came from a distance.

"——Yusuke no! Please!"

——Snap!

The sound of fists suddenly stopped.

At this moment, time seems to stand still.

Mr. Lin struggled to open his eyelids, and what came into his eyes was a huge fist parked an inch away in front of him, covered with bulging veins.

"Gudu..."

He swallowed a mouthful of blood-laced saliva and looked behind his fist.

Kato Yusuke stared at him ferociously, then slowly retracted his fist and warned word by word:

"...Don't mess with me again, otherwise you won't be so lucky next time."

Mr. Lin laughed miserably and fell to the ground helplessly.

Sayu hurriedly ran up and squatted beside him, crying and wiping the blood on his face with a handkerchief, and tremblingly took out his mobile phone to call an ambulance.

For three full breaths, Sayu's voice was the only one present.

The girls were stunned, as if their throats were being strangled. Their wide almond-shaped eyes stared motionlessly at Kato Yusuke, feeling that he was so strange at this moment.

Kato Yusuke straightened up, wiped the blood sprayed on his fist by Mr. Lin with a handkerchief, and looked up somewhere.

Shinjoka panicked, she shrank her body and tried to hide behind Serizawa Yuu, but it was all in vain.

"——New article."

The boy called her name.

"...Ah, um, I'm here."

Shinjoka didn't dare to hide behind the crowd anymore, so she walked out with her hands behind her back, looking timidly at Kato Yusuke's cold face, still holding a trace of luck in her heart.

But immediately, this luck was shattered.

"——Come to the student union tomorrow and find me, alone."

"——!"

Hearing Kato Yusuke's indifferent voice, Shinjoka's body trembled slightly and he opened his lips to say something.

However, Kato Yusuke didn't give her this chance. After saying that, he picked up the travel bag on the ground and walked firmly towards the studio.

"Yu-chan, wait for me——!"

Shiyu reacted and was the first to catch up, followed by Eiri and Megumi.

Seeing Kanoko, Hassan looked at the mess around him with concern, and finally gritted his teeth and chased after her.

The happy atmosphere half an hour ago was gone.

Shinjoka suddenly felt a little sad, and her legs couldn't help but soften, but she was supported by Serizawa Yu in time.

"...Xiaoxiang! Are you okay?"

"Haha...don't you go find the president?"

"This, this... Because someone has already gone to Brother You's side, I think it shouldn't matter... So, it's better for me to stay here with you."

"..."

Shinjoka's nose felt sour, and she forced a smile and said: "...Thank you, to be honest, I'm a little tired, Xiao Xi, can you take me home?"

"Well...! Then I'll take you back."

Serizawa Yu nodded sadly, took one last look at Sayu and Asami who were surrounding Mr. Lin, and then left with Shinjoka.

Ever since, there were only three people left at the scene.

Looking at Mr. Lin, whose face was covered in blood and his nose was deformed, Asami, who was usually very bold, turned slightly blue.

Sayu noticed that she was unnatural, so he asked her to wait for the ambulance at the intersection on the pretext of helping, while he stayed where he was to take care of her.

"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry... If you hold on just a little longer, the ambulance will be here soon."

"Stop crying, Sayu-chan...I'm fine."

"But! You were hurt so badly. I'm sorry...it's all my fault."

"How could it be your problem... It's because I am blind and blind, so I took action against that young man without permission... Did I cause you trouble?"

There were tears in Sayu's eyes, and they fell down. She shook her head desperately but said nothing.

Although she was indeed sad and wanted to continue pursuing her into the studio, now was not the time to consider the love between her children.

Mr. Lin saw what she was thinking and sat up from the ground with a wry smile. Then he took a deep breath and straightened his nose with a "click" regardless of Sayu's dissuasion.

"hiss--"

"Mr. Lin...!"

"It hurts! Phew... Okay, okay, this little thing is nothing. Sayu-chan, you don't have to worry."

"But……"

"Compared to this, can I ask...what is your relationship with that little brother?"

"..."

Seeing Sayu biting her lip and refusing to answer, Mr. Lin continued speaking.

"To be honest, I shouldn't have intervened in this matter originally, but... that person is too dangerous. Sayu-chan, you should stay away from him in the future——"

"——Mr. Lin!"

Sayu unconsciously raised her voice to interrupt him, then immediately lowered her voice and said with a choked sob:

"Please, please don't say such words again... That is a very, very important person to me, and his existence is better than anything else, so... please don't say it..."

Sensing the determination in her tone, Mr. Lin couldn't help but feel a little stunned. Finally, he sighed desolately and said no more.

◇

It's night, in a high-end apartment in Ariake District, Tokyo.

In the dim bedroom, the sounds of light and heavy breathing intertwined, rising and falling in the air.

The breathing gradually turned from low to sharp and rapid, and finally ended with a satisfied sigh, and then fell into silence.

a long time.

A snow-white arm emerged from the quilt, and its slender palm groped for a while in the darkness before it successfully found its target.

There was a "pop" sound, and a lamp on the bedside table turned on.

The dim and ambiguous warm light illuminates the room slightly.

Akane Kurisaka's face was bright red, her red hair was a little messy, and her smooth collarbone was dripping with sweat.

She picked up the goblet filled with red wine, tilted her chin up and drank, slowly moistening her dry throat.

At this time, her other hand was pulled.

The man's deep voice said: "...Don't drink all of it, give me some."

Akane Hongsaka raised her long and curved eyelashes, frowned in annoyance, and then poured all the red wine in the glass into her mouth.

She put down the goblet, rolled over on top of someone, and gave the drink to someone mouth to mouth. And the other party is also willing to accept the gifts and absorb the water.

Gudu, Gudu, Gudu...

The sound of swallowing came and went.

This movement lasted for several breaths before stopping.

Akane Kurisaka opened her mouth, sprayed her fragrant breath on the other person's face, and asked: "...Is that enough? Boy."

Kato Yusuke narrowed his eyes, and then nodded slightly in affirmation.

Akane Benisaka glanced at him charmingly, and a pair of delicate red lips traveled around his chin, cleaning up all the wine that was accidentally missed.

After that, she was too lazy to move and just lay down comfortably, enjoying the afterglow that had not completely dissipated.

"So...why do you have time to come to my place today?"

"I brought you a souvenir, hot spring steamed buns."

"that's all?"

"You don't like steamed buns?"

Akane Benisaka's nails lightly scratched his toned muscles and asked lazily:

"What I'm saying is that you made a special trip just because of this? Do you think I'm a teenage girl? Would you believe such nonsense?"

"It's not a little girl, but an auntie, right?"

"Um--?"

Kato Yusuke put one hand behind his head and lazily stroked her smooth back with the other.

"Okay, I admit, I just want to come to you to talk about theoretical mechanics, nothing else."

Akane Kurisaka curled her lips, not understanding such lies. She took out her mobile phone from under the pillow and checked her work emails.

Kato Yusuke didn't bother him when he saw this, or he was actually happy to do so. He just stared at the ceiling quietly, his eyes deep.

"I said boy."

"What's up?"

Akane Kurisaka asked casually: "When we were just doing things, your phone seemed to have vibrated several times. Aren't you going to reply to the message?"

Kato Yusuke was a little silent: "...I'll be back later."

"Who sent them all?"

"Everyone."

"About women again?"

"Again?"

"Is there anything else you can do with you?"

"...Why, are you jealous?"

Akane Benisaka sneered, her honey-smeared mouth chattering like a machine gun.

"Just for a mere bitch? Although the size is unique and amazing, can't you just use that kind of thing when needed? What's there to be jealous of?"

Kato Yusuke took a breath, gritted his teeth and said, "...You have such a poisonous mouth."

What does it mean to use it but not just use it?

Do you think he is a professional horse-killing chicken tool?

"But -" Akane Akane said again, "I haven't seen you like this for a while."

"What……?"

"...Your current behavior is similar to the day I slapped you. Was it because you were dumped?"

Kato Yusuke was silent for a long time, "When did you become so curious?"

"I've been like this from the beginning, otherwise you think you have a chance to lie here - huh?"

Akane Kurisaka stopped here, a trace of boredom appeared on her frowning brows, so Yusuke Kato asked: "What's wrong?"

"Huh...it's the intention to cooperate with the overseas copyright of "Chainsaw Man". My people seem to have made a mistake and sent me the untranslated version."

"show me."

"Huh? This is Spanish, do you understand it?"

Akane Kurisaka asked amusedly, obviously not believing that he could understand.

Kato Yusuke did not explain this, took the phone from her hand with a smile, and looked at it intently.

"I see……"

"What turns out to be that?"

"This is indeed a letter of intent to cooperate."

"Oh~? It's quite pretentious."

"I am not kidding."

"Really?" Akane Kurisaka asked with a leisurely smile: "Then you can tell me what is written on it?"

Kato Yusuke glanced at her, "Is there any benefit if I say it?"

"You can take a bath for me."

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to do it. You can copy it online and find a machine to read it. The meaning is probably the same."

Kato Yusuke gave up and watched Akane Benisaka happy.

"You said you were fat and you were breathless. Otherwise, what do you want?"

"want you?"

"I'm yours, you don't need it."

Kato Yusuke looked at the little aunt in front of him in surprise and laughed: "Why do you think I have become a pretty boy?"

Akane Benisaka's eyes flashed, and the corner of her mouth curled up, which meant - "Aren't you?"

"Then..." Kato Yusuke said thoughtfully: "Let me see your tattoo."

"...tattoo?"

Akane Kurisaka frowned slightly, "What's so good about that thing? But forget it, you can just watch it if you want. Can you translate it now?"

Kato Yusuke nodded in agreement and began to translate orally.

This letter of intent for cooperation was sent by a company in Spain. The purpose is to purchase the overseas copyright of the "Chainsaw Man" comic and also hopes to buy the broadcast rights of future animations.

Akane Benisaka listened to him as a joke at first, preparing to expose his lies at some point, but as Yusuke Kato told more and more details, she couldn't laugh anymore.

"...Brat." She couldn't help but asked curiously: "How do you know Spanish?"

"Well... after all, the competition in today's society is fierce. I was afraid that I would be dumped by my little aunt accidentally, so I learned something." Yusuke Kato joked casually.

"Where did you learn Spanish?"

"The old man in the ring taught me."

Akane Benisaka rolled her eyes at him and was about to fulfill her promise to show him the tattoo, but was stopped by Yusuke Kato.

He asked her to turn around and show him, but he didn't allow her to turn off the light.

After some struggle, Kato Yusuke got his wish and saw the tattoo.

Under the psychedelic light, a coquettish rose is blooming on the inner side of the right thigh, giving it an indescribable dark beauty.

Akane Benisaka had nothing to do, so she simply took a mint and ate it with relish.

Kato Yusuke took a deep breath, squinted his eyes to admire the rose, and at the same time gently stretched out his fingers to touch, carefully feeling the lines on the tattoo.

He tried to empty his mind, but his upset mood could not be calmed down. It was as if there was something sticky and dark in his chest.

"Yeah...that's right, kid."

Akane Kurisaka said: "I am currently preparing for the animation of "Chainsaw Man". Do you want to become a shareholder?"

"Is it a big investment?"

"The initial budget is about 300 million yen. To make a quarter of animation, the cost shared equally by each family is about 50 million."

"No money, can't afford it, pass." Kato Yusuke answered immediately after hearing this number.

Akane Hongsaka sneered: "Don't you still have royalties from single books? Isn't it enough?"

"There are a lot of expenses, and my game is not ready yet, and..."

Kato Yusuke patted her buttocks and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk when little auntie is eating, you can't hear her clearly."

Akane Hongsaka was annoyed and simply spit out the mint candy, then returned to the bedside, lit a cigarette and started smoking.

Kato Yusuke looked at her smoky face, and suddenly found that her hands seemed to be trembling slightly, but when he looked carefully, he didn't.

He pinched his eyebrows, didn't think much, then put on his slippers, went to the ground, and hugged the other person.

"Hmm...? Why are you hugging me?"

Akane Kurisaka asked, but her hands naturally wrapped around his neck.

Kato Yusuke smiled at her, then carried her outside and said, "Don't you want to take a shower? I'll take you there."

Akane Benisaka narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled.
