Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

Ding dong~

The phone made a short beep.

[Little poem: Get away, I don’t want to see you, don’t be an eyesore. 】

Kato Yusuke looked at the message on the screen and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, then looked up at the high-end apartment in front of him.

For several days.

He was sitting downstairs at Shiyu's house like this, trying to find an opportunity to have a face-to-face conversation, but unfortunately the results were always unsatisfactory.

As mentioned above, Shiyu rejected his request without hesitation.

The other party's attitude was quite firm, and he seemed to have made up his mind that he would not forgive him easily. Up to now, Kato Yusuke can’t even remember how many times he has been rejected.

But this was ultimately his own fault, so he couldn't blame anyone else.

He shook his head and looked back.

He was about to put away his phone when he suddenly received a LINE.

[Benisaka Akane: Where are you? 】

[Kato Yusuke: What’s wrong? 】

[Benisaka Akane: I have something to tell you. Come to this place. 】

A position is sent.

Kato Yusuke checked it on Tabelog and found that it was a Qingdao bar called "Ben Fiddich".

He hesitantly looked at the apartment ahead, his eyes lingering on a room with closed curtains for a moment, and finally he sighed resignedly.

"Forget it, all good things come in vain."

He comforted himself in the spirit of Ah Q, sent a message to Shiyu that he would come back tomorrow, and then walked towards the station.

at the same time.

in a room in the apartment.

Shiyu slightly lifted a corner of the curtain and looked downstairs with slightly squinted eyes.

The sun has completely sunk and night has begun.

Under the bright streetlight, she easily captured the slender figure walking on the road.

"Nine forty-five, a quarter of an hour earlier than yesterday."

She muttered to herself, her two flower-like lips uttered some intriguing words, and finally curled her lips slightly.

"Little poem." Hasumi Kanoko's voice sounded from the computer: "Is Kato-kun gone?"

"Um."

Shiyu sat back at the desk as if nothing had happened, picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee, "He left, just now."

“That’s it~~~”

In the video, Hasumi Kanoko has a facial mask on her face, her hair is wrapped in a dry hair towel, and she is lying comfortably in the bathtub taking a bath.

She closed her eyes and asked lazily: "If I remember correctly, this is already the fourth day, right?"

"...Who knows?" Shiyu said without blushing and without a beating heart: "I'm too lazy to think about him, and I haven't counted the time."

"Hmm~~ So have you seen him today?"

"There is no need to ask about this kind of thing."

"Hmm? Xiaoshi, are you still angry?"

Hasumi Kanoko opened her eyes in surprise and asked, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to give Kato-kun a chance? What's going on now?"

Shiyu put down the mug with a sneer, and naturally crossed his hands on his chest, "I just said I would consider it, but I haven't decided yet whether I want to give it to you."

Hasumi Kanoko carefully studied her expression, "...In other words, are you not going to forgive Kato-kun...?"

"I don't know, I haven't decided yet."

Shiyu said disapprovingly, then changed the topic and asked: "Compared to this, Kano-chan, aren't you angry at all?"

"Ahaha... It would be a lie to say that I'm not angry at all, but I'm definitely not as angry as Xiaoshi~"

"...How can you still laugh? Can you easily forgive what he did?"

"The main thing is that Xiaoshi and I care about different things, so even if we compare them, it's meaningless."

"Huh? What do you mean...?"

Hasumi Kanoko smiled and said:

"It's true that I'm a little angry with Kato-kun, but it's more because he didn't explain the reason to me face to face. There is no other reason other than that. You should understand what I said to Xiaoshi like this, right?"

Shiyu was stunned for a moment and immediately heard the implication of her words.

"So, if Yuu-chan told you in person that he wanted to go to the association, would you let him go even if it was an important day for the studio to release the game...?"

"Yeah~ That's it."

Hasumi Kanoko nodded calmly, "Although Xiaoshi may not like hearing this, as long as Kato-kun explains his reasons to me, I will let him go."

"Tsk..."

Shiyu raised his feet, and his two slender, snow-white legs crossed each other, shaking irritably.

"It's because you and Sawamura have always had this attitude that Yuu-chan was so unscrupulous. Obviously there was no need for him to go there that day."

Hasumi Kanoko: "Well~~ I can't say this question, but whether it is the studio or the association, it was all established by Kato-kun himself. I don't think it is necessary for him to draw a clear line and make a choice, right?"

Unlike others, she has long since passed the sentimental stage and is open-minded about many things.

Kato Yusuke's behavior of abandoning the studio that day was indeed wrong, but it was considered to be for a reason.

After all, this is the first time that the association has encountered illegal imprisonment. No matter how safe it is, it will inevitably make people feel uncomfortable.

Especially since the members of the association are still a group of little girls with little social experience.

Once someone has something wrong in the process, the studio will also be blamed, so she can understand Kato Yusuke's choice to some extent.

Shiyu's legs were shaking even more violently, "When did I talk about the association's problems? I'm talking about people! It's wrong for him to leave us to find that vixen!"

Seeing Kanoko, Hassan smiled helplessly, realizing that the question didn't make sense, and couldn't help but shake her head.

She raised her hand, picked up the red wine from the bathtub table, took a few sips, and then said casually:

"Let's change the topic, Xiaoshi, do you think there is something wrong with Kato-kun's character?

He really likes to take responsibility for himself. Even if others don't ask, he will still take the initiative to do so. "

Shiyu frowned and asked, "Why are you talking about this suddenly?"

"How should I put it?" Hasumi Kanoko narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at the swaying water, with a look of nostalgia in her eyes.

"I just suddenly remembered that if I hadn't taken the initiative to pursue Kato-kun, he probably wouldn't have accepted me until now."

"...What are you trying to express?"

"I think Kato-kun actually had no need to respond to my feelings, and he didn't have to make any plans for my life, but he still did it in the end."

There was a brief silence.

"...So what? Do you want to say that this means that he should be allowed to have sex with women?"

"You misunderstood, I mean he puts too much pressure on himself. He is always responding to other people's expectations, but never mentions what his own expectations are. This way of living is too tiring."

"Hmph... Even so, he didn't suffer a loss. He has no right to get cheap and suffer miserably."

Shiyu said in a strong tone, but his voice was a little softer than before, "In short, this is not the reason for him to be carefree and preferring one to another."

"Really?" Hasumi Kanoko smiled: "I think that if he really wanted to date that girl, he would tell us frankly?"

Shiyu snorted coldly: "That's because he knows we don't agree, so he has a guilty conscience. Aren't all scumbags like this?"

"Haha, Xiaoshi, do you really think so? When I was with Kato-kun, he didn't hide anything about you from me at all. I really can't think of a reason for him to do this now."

Seeing Kanoko, Lian couldn't help but laugh and said that she thought Shiyu was a bit smart but was mistaken for his cleverness.

To enhance her persuasiveness, she continued.

"Speaking of scumbags, my ex was with another woman before and still hid it from me. I think that kind of behavior is bad.

Kato-kun is quite affectionate, but he has never played with my feelings. I quite like his style of explaining everything clearly in advance. "

"..."

Shiyu listened silently, with a slight change on his face.

As Hasumi Kanoko said, Kato Yusuke never concealed his romantic history from beginning to end.

Even when I'm with her.

He never forced anyone, nor did he use any dirty tricks. Everything was left to everyone's own choice.

This is not a glorious thing, but at least it is the only praiseworthy thing about him.

Looking back.

What Shiyu could think of was his constant rejection of her, which made her itch with hatred.

But on the other hand.

Since he sincerely accepted her, he has indeed fulfilled his responsibilities as a boyfriend faithfully, and basically can't fault her.

After all, it's all about that vixen!

Ever since Sayu came to Tokyo, Kato Yusuke has become abnormal.

Thinking of this, Shiyu's tone relaxed a little.

"...Even so, Yu-chan shouldn't tell such outrageous lies to deal with us, right? What about parallel time and space? Does he think he is an alien?"

Seeing Kanozi, Hassan was speechless and nodded with a wry smile.

"Hmm... This is really not good. Maybe he wanted to liven up the atmosphere at that time... Strange, this is really not like his character. Xiao Shi, you might as well ask him~"

"You said so much, but you actually want me to forgive him, right? You little traitor, I can finally see your true face."

"Ah, since you said so, Xiaoshi, can I ask Kato-kun to come to my house?"

"Dismissed! You are not allowed to call him over before I forgive him!"

"Oh~~ So Xiaoshi, you plan to forgive him? Haven't you thought about it yet?"

"——!"

Only then did Shi Yu realize that he had slipped up, and couldn't help showing an angry expression, "Thankfully you were still a teacher before. It's so unbecoming."

"Let's forget about those old things, right?" Hasumi Kanoko blinked and said in a playful tone: "Anyway, Xiaoshi, don't delay for too long? Otherwise, even if you get angry, I will take action."

Looking at Kanoko Hasumi who was laughing so hard in the video, Shiyu's chest heaved with anger.

…

Follow the address and come to Shinjuku West Exit.

In a building near the station, Kato Yusuke found the bar called "Ben Fiddich".

As soon as I walked in, the aroma of herbs wafted out.

In the dim environment, elegant music flows out gently, exuding a dark and mysterious atmosphere.

"Oh~ It's coming, it's coming." Akane Kurisaka, who was sitting in front of the bar, waved to him, "Boy, here."

Kato Yusuke stepped forward, sat on the chair next to her, and then glanced around casually.

The small bar is like medieval Europe, and the overall decoration is mainly simple wood. The bar was filled with various bottles and jars, and the aroma of wine filled the air.

"Welcome, guest."

A middle-aged man in a white suit walked up to them elegantly and asked in a friendly and borderline tone: "What would you like to drink?"

Kato Yusuke was about to open his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Akane Kurisaka.

"Stop looking. This is a No Menu place. Just tell the boss what you want to drink."

The corners of Akane Kurisaka's mouth raised, as if she had foreseen his thoughts, and then said to the boss: "He doesn't know what to order anyway, boss, give him a cup of bitter~"

"Okay, I understand, please wait."

"Ah, by the way, this kid is still a student, remember to come here without alcohol."

The boss was stunned: "University?"

Akane Hongsaka grinned: "What do you think?"

"Um??"

The boss was a little dumbfounded, and then he seemed to have deduced something and scolded slightly: "Ms. Hongsaka, you have to say this kind of thing in advance. Our store is not open to minors."

"Ah hahaha, because this kid has to take me home later, please be tolerant today."

"This...oh, only this time!"

The boss shook his head helplessly, turned his back to the bar, and looked for the needed bartending materials in the cabinet.

Kato Yusuke looked to his side, "So, little aunt, what do you want from me?"

"What?" Akane Kurisaka raised her eyebrows and said unhappily: "Does this mean I can't come to you if nothing happens?"

"That's not what I meant. It's just that I have some things to deal with recently."

"Oh~~ By the way, your harem seems to have been on fire, right? I heard that you lit it with your own hands~?"

"...You probably didn't call me here just to take pleasure in your misfortune, right?"

"Guess?" Akane Benisaka's eyes flashed with a playful light, and her slender fingers gently drew circles on the table, looking a little mysterious.

"Sorry, I'm not in the mood for the moment." Kato Yusuke frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to tug on his collar, and then sighed: "Anyway, if you have anything, just tell me quickly."

"Tch, boring..." Akane Kurisaka curled her lips in boredom, took a small piece of cheese from the snack plate on the table and put it into her mouth, and said calmly:

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I'm just telling you that the handicraft factory has a huge order, and you will get your first dividend soon."

She suddenly reacted at the end and changed her words: "Oh, no, it's not you who gets the dividends, but your association?"

"Absolutely." Kato Yusuke shrugged, reached for a piece of saltine cracker, and ate it slowly, "Shinjou and the others will handle these matters."

"I heard that the person in charge of your association seems to have done something extraordinary?"

Akane Hongsaka's eyes sparkled with curiosity, and her voice contained a bit of surprise.

"It is said that she rushed to the suspect's house to save someone? The video of the police arresting the suspect was on the news."

"...I'm sorry, I don't plan to interfere in that matter anymore. Let's change the topic."

Akane Kurisaka was slightly stunned, a little surprised by his inconsistent attitude, and Yusuke Kato had no intention of explaining.

He stared ahead quietly, watching the boss skillfully crush some unknown leaves with a stone.

In the corner, a couple was whispering in a booth. Their laughter occasionally passed through the music in the bar and floated into Kato Yusuke's ears.

The dim light cast soft shadows on him, making his handsome face look a little deep inexplicably.
