Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

At the weekend, Hasumi Kanoko brought a piece of news.

"Kato-kun, I have something to tell you. Shinjou-san just called and said that Ms. Ogiwara donated 27 million to the association's account."

At that time, Kato Yusuke was drawing a picture. When he heard the news, he was only slightly stunned, and then he immediately returned to normal and said, "I understand."

When they heard the name "Miss Ogiwara", the other three girls immediately focused their attention.

Because today is the weekend, Yoshida and Mayu Sagara are not at work. They are the only management in the studio.

Hasumi Kanoko picked out the right wording and continued:

"Then, Shinjou-san asked me what to do with the money? She didn't know whether to transfer the money to the studio's account or your account, so she asked me to ask your opinion."

"..."

Kato Yusuke pondered for a moment: "There is no need to transfer it. The money will stay in the association's account and be used as operating funds."

"Well...I understand, then I'll reply to her."

"good."

Hasumi Kanoko looked around and turned to leave.

After one party sings, the other party comes on stage.

The eyes of the three girls were fixed on Kato Yusuke's face.

After a brief silence, Shiyu took the lead to break the deadlock and asked Eirili and Hui's common thoughts.

"Yu-chan, aren't you going to explain the situation to us?"

"No, nothing like that." The young man shook his head, "What do you want to know?"

"As for what Kano-chan just said, what does that girl mean by donating money to the association?"

Objectively speaking, there is nothing to explain this kind of thing. It is just that someone kindly donated money to a charity organization, but that is obviously not what Shiyu and the others care about.

"To put it simply, the other party said she wanted to pay me back the money, but I refused, so she decided to donate it to the association."

"...If that's the case, then it means that the money was indeed sent to that girl by you, right?"

"..."

Kato Yusuke glanced at the three of them respectively.

After Sayu's revelation that day, the truth of the matter could no longer be concealed, and he had no choice but to admit it with a nod.

"--yes."

The expressions of the three girls changed slightly, but they did not question it, as if they had already understood it.

After a while, Yinglili couldn't bear her temper and spoke.

"So - what about that girl, Yusuke, you once said you would date her?"

"I should have refused that in front of everyone."

"No! I'm not asking that, but when did you say to her-"

"——Yinglili."

Kato Yusuke interrupted her calmly and smiled.

"I think what's important is the result, not the process. No matter what she said, and whether you were present or not, I rejected her very clearly. Isn't that right?"

"...Yu...suke...?"

Ying Lili was choked by her words, speechless due to the unquestionable tone in his tone, and then she felt aggrieved again.

"What... Yusuke, you—big idiot!"

The girl shouted angrily, rushed out of the office resolutely, and ran upstairs.

Kato Yusuke was silent for a while, and then said:

"...I'm sorry, Xiaoshi, Hui, you go ahead and go ahead. I'll go check on Yinglili's condition."

He said and was about to leave, but was stopped by Hui.

"Ah, Yusuke, please wait a moment. Actually, I have something to ask."

"What's up?"

"It's about Miss Ogiwara's donation to the association. After all, it is a large sum of money. Doesn't she have any requirements?"

Kato Yusuke shook his head, "...She only said she wanted to work in the association, nothing else, that's it."

After saying that, he nodded to the two of them and then came to the second floor.

In the lounge, Yinglili was sitting on the sofa holding a PSP, seemingly planning to use games to improve her mood.

Seeing him walking in, the girl immediately turned her face to the other side.

Judging from the music coming from the speakers, the person involved seemed to be playing "Monster Hunter."

Kato Yusuke thought for a while, sat next to the other party, took out Sagara Mayu's PSP from under the coffee table, and turned on the power.

Yinglili had just received a hunting mission and was about to set off when she saw a prompt for a new player to join the game pop up on the screen.

Then, a female character wearing samurai armor and carrying a bone flute ran up to her and waved.

——That is Sagara Mayu’s character.

The two of them were often online together, so she knew it very well.

However, the current operator cannot be Mayu Sagara.

"Why did you just take Miss Sagara's game console!" Eiri asked angrily.

"Mayu is my disciple, she won't mind." Kato Yusuke replied disapprovingly.

"Even then...I didn't say I wanted to play with you! Why would you just join other people's games?"

"You want to relax, right? Then this game is not suitable for playing alone, otherwise it may be counterproductive. Let me help you."

"..."

Ying Lili glanced at him coldly, turned her back and said, "It's up to you."

Although the tone was not very good, I reluctantly agreed.

So the two of them ate cat food together and set off in good condition.

The mission they received was [Hunting the Female Fire Dragon].

Kato Yusuke controls the character and follows Eiriri.

The opponent's character is wearing a beautiful blue armor, carrying a sword, and has golden twin ponytails floating behind his head.

In the process of running the map, he talked to me nonchalantly.

"I said, Yinglili."

"What?"

"I may have spoken a bit harshly when I was downstairs just now. If I made you feel uncomfortable, I apologize to you. I'm sorry."

"..."

"Eiriri?"

"Don't talk about this, hurry up and find the monster."

"oh."

After running through several areas, they found their target in the central jungle area.

——A huge female fire dragon is strolling there.

Instead of alerting the enemy, the two of them first cleaned up the mobs around them.

It was only then that Yinglili suddenly realized something, "Can you play the flute?"

Kato Yusuke nodded, "It's okay, I remember some basic combos. What buff do you want?"

"Ear plugs, wind pressure invalidation, attack power up and HP recovery, do you know these?"

"meeting."

"Then you can buff me next to me later. Remember to help me recover when I'm out of health."

"good."

"Then, I brought two paralysis traps with me. After I bury them, you can lure the monster over and let it step on the trap."

"OK."

Kato Yusuke said, playing the flute and adding various buffs to them. At the same time, Yinglili also laid a trap.

"Ok?"

"Come on, Pikachu!"

"..."

Where does this lunacy come from?

Kato Yusuke glanced at her speechlessly, then controlled the character to rush towards the female fire dragon, threw a dyed jade at it, and then ran back quickly.

"Roar---!!!"

The female fire dragon who was attracted to hatred let out a roar, chased him with her mouth wide open, and finally fell into the trap with a "plop".

"Yinglili."

"I know!"

Yinglili was already ready to attack. She excitedly pulled out her sword and slashed at the struggling monster with an imposing manner, performing a set of gorgeous combos.

Kato Yusuke was amazed when he saw it.

ten minutes later.

"Meow~~~~~"

The two of them took the cat carriage back to their birth place.

A puff of dust blew past them, raising a cloud of tumbleweeds.

"Eiriri...?"

"W-what...!?"

"Hmm...it's nothing. I just think you are good at using swordsmanship."

Kato Yusuke praised it against his will, and at the same time added in his mind that he should not play with it next time.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

As if hearing his thoughts, Yinglili felt shaken for a while, and then became angry again.

"Well, it's not because you didn't add blood to me in time that I died, isn't it!? How do you have the qualifications to say such a thing?"

Kato Yusuke thinks back.

Basically, except for the initial set of attacks that Eireli has, her subsequent moves can only be described as ugly.

As soon as the effect of the trap disappeared, the opponent was instantly defeated by the female fire dragon with a set of silky small combos. The speed was so fast that Kato Yusuke didn't even have a chance to increase his blood.

The reason why the battle lasted for ten minutes was because he kept working hard to support himself. As a result, Yinglili finally arrived after being resurrected, but the opponent was instantly killed by the female fire dragon.

In the end, only Kato Yusuke, who was in poor condition, was left unable to save his life, and both of them returned home.

He smacked his lips and asked, "Do you usually play like this with Mayu?"

"Forget it, guess it..."

"Really?"

"I...we have never fought a female fire dragon before, this is the first time." Yinglili replied hesitantly.

"oh……"

"Hey, what's going on with that look in your eyes! Does it seem to have some deep meaning? Or do you have any objections to me?"

"No, nothing."

Kato Yusuke was perfunctory, and then Erili kicked her hard in the side.

"You do! I know, you must think that I am a good person and fun-loving, right? You are so angry with me!"

The girl said unreasonably while kicking him back and forth with her stockinged feet.

"..."

Kato Yusuke looked sideways and accidentally saw the fair skin and thighs under the skirt of the other party, so he returned to his face.

"Why are not you talking!?"

"...You're overthinking it, that's not the case."

"You just think I'm holding you back, and you think I'm annoying, right?"

"No, I'm thinking I'll be the main attacker later. You can just attack from the side."

"..."

Yinglili stared at him for a while without objecting.

The two found the monster again according to the dyed jade's tips.

Still the same.

Kato Yusuke buried a trap on the ground and applied a buff, then lured the monsters to step on the trap. At the same time, he picked up the flute and hit the female fire dragon, causing it to scream.

Yinglili stood on the side, holding a tachi and continuing to scrape.

When the time for the trap was almost up, Kato Yusuke reminded Eiri to stay away, while he pulled the monster and ran in the other direction.

After pulling the output back and forth like this for a while, the female fire dragon felt impatient and flapped her wings, preparing to take advantage of her and attack from the sky.

Naturally, the young man couldn't let it go as he wished. Dang even adjusted the angle and threw a shining jade at the female fire dragon's face, successfully making it fall to the ground.

In line with the principle of taking advantage of his illness to kill him, he went up and dealt another burst of damage, and then distanced himself.

The monster that regained its sight entered a violent stage and began to launch a dragon-car collision.

Kato Yusuke rolled to avoid the first section and immediately started taking medicine. At the same time, he was also moving while observing the direction of the monster, preparing to avoid the second section.

At this moment, the twin-tailed tachi warrior wandering nearby suddenly kicked him, which not only interrupted his action of drinking medicine, but also caused his character to freeze.

The next second——

"Roar---!!!"

The angry dragon chariot roared past, harvesting all his dissatisfied blood, and laid his body on the spot.

As the scene changed, the others had been sent back to the camp on a cat cart.

"???"

Kato Yusuke opened his eyes slightly and looked to the side.

Yinglili was half-leaning on the other end of the sofa, her small face blocked by the PSP making it difficult to see her expression, and she remained silent as if nothing had happened.

Then, the twin-tailed sword warrior also returned to the camp in a cat cart.

The scene was quiet for about five seconds.

"Eiriri...?"

"What?"

"No...what did you just kick me for?"

"Mistake."

"Mistake?"

"Yeah."

Ying Lili put down her PSP slightly, looked at him with a pair of crystal-pure blue eyes, and read:

"I originally wanted to roll, but you blocked me there and I accidentally pressed the wrong button."

"..."

Kato Yusuke stared at her intently and was silent for a moment: "Do you still want to fight?"

"Of course we have to fight! The monster is almost exhausted, how can we give up here?" Yingli said sternly.

"Then can you please stop pressing the wrong key next time?"

"Hmph, there's no need to be reminded of that kind of thing. Instead of this, hurry up and get ready to go find the monster, otherwise the monster will regain its HP."

"..."

So Kato Yusuke said no more and embarked on a monster hunting journey again.

But this time he was more careful and was always on guard against the beautiful female warrior with twin tails, just in case something unexpected happened.

But until the monster was knocked down, the opponent did not make any suspicious moves, but followed him up to deal damage.

'Am I overthinking...? ’

Just as Kato Yusuke was thinking this, the twin-tailed female warrior suddenly took out an explosive barrel from her armor and placed it on the ground.

Kato Yusuke was horrified when he saw this scene. Before he could react, he was sent back to his hometown by a gorgeous explosion.

"Eiriri——!?"

"It was an accident."

Yingli covered her face with the game console and said stiffly: "I just succeeded in blowing up the monster. It must be dying. Let's continue."

"..."

Kato Yusuke looked at her cherry-pink lips that were tightly pressed into a line, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, without saying a word.

Seeing that he didn't respond, the other party gently kicked him to express his urging.

"Come on, you're the one who offered to play with me, right? Don't be so dawdling."

Compared to the previous sentence, the master's voice now sounded a little more joyful, which showed that the previous events were no accident.

Kato Yusuke shook his head, silently reciting his purpose of going upstairs several times in his mind, and still went with her.

——Then they took a nice ride in the cat carriage.

There was no accident, Yinglili was just getting in his way.

For example, deliberately throwing sonic bombs to cause him to breathe while he was flying.

For example, you can eat life dust with forced actions while he is doing combos.

For example, when he was playing the flute to apply the buff, slash him with a tachi...

The person involved didn't cover up anymore when he got to the back. He was basically trying to trip him up blatantly.

Obviously the game they played was "Monster Hunter", but Kato Yusuke had the illusion that he was playing "Mario Kart", which was called torture.

certainly--

Even if Yinglili hurt him like this, he wouldn't be able to survive, but the other person didn't seem to want to live at all, and just wanted to ride the cat carriage with him happily.

After a difficult battle royale, the female fire dragon who was reduced to a supporting role also died as a result of the collateral damage.

At the moment when the female fire dragon fell, Kato Yusuke even read a trace of regret in Eiri's eyes, which made him secretly resolve never to accompany this young lady online again.

Finally, the two collected the materials on the monster, and the connection officially came to an end.

Kato Yusuke put the PSP back with a livid face, leaned back on the sofa, covered his face with his hands, and let out a long sigh of exhaustion.

Yingli stretched out feeling refreshed, came to his side like a mischievous person, and sat on the sofa in a duck-sitting position.

"Oh, don't sigh like this, otherwise happiness will sneak away~?"

"...If the happiness you are talking about means playing games with you, then I would rather not."

"What are you doing! Are you playing with the most beautiful girl in school, the girl who has rejected more than three figures of men's confessions? Give me more honor!"

"So, you're playing with the most beautiful boy in school, the boy who has rejected confessions from more than three figures of women? Don't you think you should be more gentle?"

"How disgusting! Yusuke, why are you speaking in such a frivolous tone? It's so annoying!"

"Well, it's whatever you say."

Kato Yusuke looked sideways at the delicate and beautiful little face on the right, smiling bitterly and bringing up old things again.

"...Anyway, now that the game is over, can we get down to business? My attitude downstairs may not have been very good before, and I apologize to you. Can you forgive me?"

"Huh……?"

Ying Lili was slightly startled when she was asked, then looked away with a blushing face, "Well...if you really want to say it, it's not all your problem. In fact, I also..."

She paused at this point, and there was no sound for a long time. Kato Yusuke, who was waiting for the second half of the sentence, couldn't help but tilt his head in confusion.

"Eiriri...?"

"Hey, Yusuke, actually I have something to tell you."

"Um?"

"..."

Yinglili looked at him, showed a slightly apologetic smile, and prepared her words.

"Anyway, don't worry, everything I plan to do next is all planned."

"……What's the meaning?"

"So starting from next week, I won't be able to come to the studio for a while, but I will report to you once a day, and I will remember to turn on the power of my mobile phone. Ah, by the way, can you get the signal over there?"

Listening to the unclear words from the girl's mouth, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but sit up and wait for the next sentence.

Then, the girl took a deep breath and revealed her decision to him——

…
