Reborn in Tokyo after picking up Sayu who ran away from home

Chapter 236 The Negotiation Is In The Bath

"Whoa, whoa-"

In the spacious and bright space, the warm yellow light emits a hazy light in the rising fog.

As a muscular figure stepped into the pool, the reflection on the water surface was smashed into pieces by the ripples spreading from the inside to the outside.It just didn't take long before it slowly returned to its original state, and there was no abnormality except that the water level was a little higher than before.

Standing in this half-sized swimming pool, enjoying the gentle washing of the slightly hot water like a caress, the physical and mental fatigue seems to be instantly removed, and one can't help but relax.

At the same time, a girl's sweet voice came from the phone in his hand: "Have you gone in already~?"

"Well, come in."

Even though he knew he couldn't be seen by the other side, Kato Yusuke still nodded habitually, and asked the girl's head portrait on the screen: "What were you doing before? I didn't answer your call."

"Well, I went out with Mami to buy ingredients for dinner, and accidentally left my phone at home, sorry."

Sayu on the other end of the phone explained apologetically, and then changed her words: "Then, has Yusuke eaten yet? What did you have for dinner?"

Leaning his body back on the edge of the bath, Kato Yusuke responded calmly: "Well... I ate salad, fish and chips, and creamy mushroom soup."

"Huh, is that so? It's completely Western food... Speaking of which, you did mention that the girl is of mixed English and Japanese. Did she cook it herself?"

"No, Ying Lili is not self-reliant to this extent, I think it was probably done by their maid or chef."

"Wow, you actually said maid!"

Sayu murmured: "... cosplay or something, it shouldn't be like this?"

Kato Yusuke couldn't help laughing at this: "Well, it's not that kind. Although she can speak Japanese, but that maid is a foreigner, and even her name is Sophia."

"You actually said foreigners...!"

The girl said without concealing her surprise: "I always thought that this kind of thing was only found on TV. It should be said that the girl is really a young lady."

"Ah, in a sense it is true."

As he said that, he also explained the fact that the other party's parents followed the ambassador to visit the UK, and then continued to ask: "...that's probably the case, do you want to consider coming to accompany me? If there is only Ying Lili alone, it should not be Too nervous."

There was a brief silence.

"...So what exactly does that girl want you to do?"

"It's not clear about that."

"Eh??"

"But it should be to help catch up with the deadline of the work, just like the previous time."

Kato Yusuke, who put a hot towel on his face, said: "How about it, do you want to come?"

There was a bit of comfort and laziness in the tone, and it was sent to the girl's ears through the microphone together with the sound of flowing water.

"……Oh."

Sayu responded with some unhappiness: "But as expected, let it go, don't you always feel that this is like a "heavy girl"? "

After a pause, he continued: "But relatively, can Yusuke promise me a few conditions?"

"condition?"

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Such as timely reporting, consultation and contact?"

"Wow, why can you talk about this kind of thing like the "Newspaper Business Federation"? "

First, he complained in surprise, and then accompanied Xinxin and asked: "...but... can't it?"

After finishing speaking, even the slight breathing stopped temporarily.

Suddenly, the nervous look of the girl holding the phone in both hands and holding her breath appeared in front of her eyes.

He couldn't help but said silently: "...Compared to that, I would rather have you by my side now."

Because of the towel covering his face, his voice sounded muffled, but anyone could hear the sincerity in the words.

So there was a narrow-minded laugh from the opposite side: "...Even if you say that, but when you are at home, you still don't allow people to step into the bathroom while you are taking a shower. The statement has become contradictory Oh, Yusuke~"

"You know that's not what I mean." Kato Yusuke couldn't help being speechless.

But Sayu seemed very happy about it, and even his voice became much lighter, like a jumping lark.

"Well, I know~"

The girl murmured softly: "Because I am too. If possible, I really don't want to be separated from Yusuke for a moment. So... can you finish the business earlier and pick me up?"

Having said this, the two couldn't help but quiet down at the same time.

It's as if there is a thread connecting them together, even though the two are not in the same position at the moment, they can clearly perceive each other's existence.

It was a wonderful, connected feeling, as if the other party was by his side right now, which made people feel inexplicably stable.

After being silent for a long while, Kato Yusuke let out a sigh of relief: "Well, I see. Do you have any other requests?"

"Well...then..."

Sayu said timidly: "If someone can miss me, I should be very happy."

In response to this, the corner of the boy's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and he sank his body a little bit, allowing the water surface to reach his neck.

While feeling the package of hot water, he asked warmly on the phone: "Speaking of which, do you have any other arrangements waiting for you?"

"Huh? I think it's probably just dinner. I don't know the rest for the time being. What's wrong?"

"In this case……"

Kato Yusuke pondered and said, "Wait, if it's convenient, do we want to have a video call?"

"...Huh? Wait a minute, do you mean...?"

"It's when I'm working, although I may not be able to chat with you, but it should be okay to let you see the work scene, if you don't feel bored..."

With a speed that was almost rushing to answer, Sayu immediately responded: "Well, I want to see it!"

Then, as if embarrassed by his eagerness, he added in a low voice: "...ah, I mean, if it's possible..."

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but smiled at this: "Understood, let's do this first, I will discuss it with Eirari later, and I will contact you later."

"Well! Then I'm going to help prepare dinner, see you later~"

After speaking, the two ended the call.

What they didn't know was that although the communication was terminated by physical means, the two of them stared at the phone silently for a long time after that, as if they were still immersed in some aftertaste.
