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

Chapter 451 The Furious Little Aunt (Thanks to the Tired Leader)

After sending Shiwa home, Kato Yusuke also returned to his apartment.

Lock the mountain bike in the storage shed, walk up the stairs with slightly rusty handrails to the second floor, and come to the first room at the end of the corridor.

Open the door and enter the hallway, take off your shoes and walk into the living room.

Under the interference of the black cat, I put the sports backpack on the ground next to the bed and started to clean the litter box.

During his absence, the black cat didn't know what to do, and the pine cat litter scattered around the litter box was much more than usual, as if on purpose.

Because it is already evening, no matter how careful you are, you can't cover up the noise of the vacuum cleaner.Considering the situation of disturbing the residents, Kato Yusuke had to squat on the ground and just cleaned up with a small dustpan and broom.

"Xiao Hei, are you rolling in it?"

"Meow??"

The black cat tilted its head, and a question mark appeared on its face, as if to say "Are you scolding again?".

Kato Yusuke gently licked its furry head, and poured the clean litter into the dustpan back into the litter box.

While he was thinking about the need for an automatic litter box, the phone in his trousers pocket suddenly rang.

"Akane Kosaka"

After pressing the answer button, the lazy and casual voice of Yujie came to my ears from the receiver.

"it's me."

"good evening."

"where are you now?"

"at home."

"Are you free? Let's chat."

"..."

"what happened?"

"No, I just think it's rare for you to speak in such a gentle tone."

"Huh~?"

Benizaka Zhuyin raised his tone slightly, and said after a pause, "Don't be stupid, you have relieved so many pressures for me, and this level of sweetness will still be given to you."

"...Am I a cowherd?"

"Why, isn't it? I was wondering when you'd realize this, and it turned out to be much later than I expected."

The words were full of mocking smiles.

Kato Yusuke got up on his knees and sat down on the swivel chair next to him.

"I don't dislike the contrast in you, but according to what you said, you seem to have forgotten that this show is not free, Miss Kosaka."

Hongsaka Zhuyin let out a coquettish laugh, and continued the conversation: "What's the hurry, I'm going to talk about this next thing, I'm here to give you money, kid?"

The sudden turn of events brought the conversation to a halt.

"...Are you kidding me?"

"Of course. Having said that, it still depends on our next conversation."

The meaningful tone made Kato Yusuke finally confirm something, so he asked, "Have you decided to buy the copyright of "Chain Saw Man"?"

"Good, so let's talk about the price."

"So the gentleness just now was used here?"

"I'm not lying, I'm here to give you money seriously, so be grateful~"

"As long as you decide, we can make an appointment to sign the contract."

"There's no rush." ​​Benizaka Zhuyin's voice suddenly became charming, "I've thought about the price, I can add 3000 million more than the previous offer, what do you think? Little brother~"

Adding 5000 million to the previous 3000 million, the total is 8000 million.

Kato Yusuke also put on a gentle tone, and replied with a smile: "I don't think so, little aunt."

"Let me tell you, do you know what the highest copyright royalty in the industry is this year? Don't be so ignorant, you should accept it as soon as you see it."

"Sorry, but I still stick to my original idea, and Undead River has already agreed to my proposal for a supplement. According to this situation, the release of the booklet will not be too far away."

"...But it will take a long time. At least you won't get much royalties this year, and I can give you cash. Don't you want to restart the studio plan earlier? It's a good deal."

"I'm not in such a hurry. As I said, I just have to wait another year."

A brief silence.

There was a light cough from the other end of the phone, and the seductive and pretentious voice like an ancient oiran rang out in the next second.

"Is it true that the price will not be lowered anyway? Grandpa~"

"Really don't lower the price no matter what, girl~"

"What if I would serve you in a vacuum kimono?"

"I'll be annoyed for a while before seriously rejecting you."

"Although it is impossible for me to do such a thing, let me ask, what if it is a JK uniform?"

"You know I'm still at the stage where I can take off the real JK uniform?"

"Tsk, troublesome brat, otherwise, what do you say you like?"

"Unfortunately, even your cosplay role in "The Cardinal of Gotanda" is not acceptable."

Like exasperated.

- click.

Benizaka Zhuyin hung up the phone without saying a word.

Jingle ~

A mail is delivered to the phone.

[Akane Kosaka: Don't let me see you, or I'll kill you. 】

Kato Yusuke stared at the content on the phone screen and laughed it off.

"The Cardinal of Gotanda" is the first debut work created by Akane Benizaka after dropping out of university.

As a debut novel, his work sold 100 million copies within half a year after only three volumes were released, and he decided to turn it into an animation in a blink of an eye. The results are not bad.

It's just that there seemed to be some accidents later, which caused the reputation of the work to be not very good, and the person concerned obviously cared about it...

While thinking about this, he opened the software interface of Line, turned off Xinjoxiang's "Daily Class" reminder, and then switched to the chat interface with Shiba-senpai.

After hesitating for a while, he finally gave up on sending a message to greet her.

--Ding!

A familiar crisp sound came from outside the window.

Kato Yusuke got up and walked to the kitchen, found a mug in the cabinet, used the coffee machine to extract two cups of coffee with milk, and then took the cup to the balcony.

A crescent moon hangs in the sky, like a silver hook with two pointed ends, gently shining on the city.

On this chilly night, the figure on the road has already entered a certain house, and lights up or down, appearing faintly in the night.

The smell of smoke wafted from the balcony next door, and a tall figure was resting his arms on the railing, smoking leisurely.

"Good evening, Mr. Yoshida."

"Oh, oh, good evening, Kato."

Kato Yusuke took the initiative to say hello, and passed a cup of coffee in his hand, "I made an extra cup of coffee, if you don't mind, please help drink it."

"You always say that, right? But thank you."

Yoshida took the mug with some dumbfounding, and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, did I just disturb you?"

"will not."

Kato Yusuke shook his head, put his arms on the railing, looked into the distance, and said casually, "Would you like to chat for a while?"

"Ah, just do as you say."

As the relationship between the two became more and more familiar, they would occasionally meet and chat on the balcony like this.

Usually, the sound of the zippo lighter is used as the basis. Yusuke who heard the sound will decide whether to come or not according to the situation, and it is the same today.

The content of the chat is not fixed, and most of the time it is casually talking about some things in life, such as the recent changes in the apartment, and the notices of the town association.

In addition, the two parties occasionally communicate on specific topics, such as Ms. Goto, who has become one of the fixed topics, or office romances.

The two just started chatting casually.

Kato Yusuke didn't know how to react.

Even though the two had talked a lot about related issues before, Yoshida has so far failed to muster up the courage to invite his favorite boss.

This made him a little speechless, but also had a new understanding of the innocence of his kind neighbor.

After all, through the analysis of the conversations between the parties, he felt that the boss named Ms. Goto did not seem to have no feelings for Yoshida.

Coupled with the junior who has been playing bright cards almost all the time, he really doesn't understand how the person involved keeps himself single.

Thinking of this, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but sighed, and joked casually: "Mr. Yoshida, you have made yourself single by virtue of your strength, so fierce."

"Huh? What are you talking about all of a sudden?" Yoshida looked blank.

"It's nothing, it's just a compliment."

"Hey—I can still hear the compliments and sarcasm, don't play tricks on your lord!"

"In this case, why are you so emotionally slow?"

"This is called an adult's prudence, and you will understand later."

"I think there is still a difference between prudence and cautiousness. As the opposite sex, you should prefer men who take the initiative? After all, Mr. Yoshida, you look like you, and you can't take the little milk dog route."

"Huh? What's the little milk dog route?"

"Although I don't know the details, but if you switch the roles of men and women in the relationship, it should be almost the same."

"Turn around..."

Yoshida murmured unconsciously, as if imagining such a scene, and then wrinkled his brows forcefully.

"—Isn't that impossible!?"

"Mr. Yoshida, your reaction is really exaggerated. Where did you substitute it?"

"You were so noisy that you didn't think about anything."

Yoshida smacked his lips, took a sip of coffee as a cover-up, and said, "Besides, you have said so much, do you have relevant experience?"

"This is..."

Kato Yusuke deliberately supported his chin, thinking, "Actually, just now a rich older sister asked me to wear a uniform. Does this count?"

"Are you kidding me!?"

"Did you see through it?"

"Idiot, I told you not to make fun of adults!"

The two laughed while talking, and the atmosphere became more relaxed than before.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Yoshida, can I ask you something?"

"What's the matter? Is it because I don't have enough living expenses? My savings are pretty loose, and I can lend you anytime." Yoshida said as he put down his cup and was about to go indoors. It seemed that he was going to get his wallet.

"Not that kind of thing."

Kato Yusuke called him to stop, feeling a little warm in his heart, and then said: "Actually, our school will have three days of off-campus teaching next week. If possible, I would like to ask Mr. Yoshida to take care of my cat."

"So it's like this, it's okay...but I only have experience in raising goldfish, is it okay?"

"goldfish……?"

"That's right." Yoshida scratched his cheeks in distress, and explained: "It was the goldfish raised in the school when I was in school, and I took care of it at the time."

Kato Yusuke opened and closed his mouth slightly, recovered from the state of trance, and smiled slightly: "So you were the biological team leader, Mr. Yoshida."

"...That's not the case, it's just that it happened to be my turn in that episode."

"What are their names?"

"what?"

"What's the name of the goldfish Mr. Yoshida raised?"

"Huh? Let me tell you, who would name goldfish specifically?"

"makes sense."

"That's it. If you think it's okay, I can take care of the cat for you."

"Well, no problem, then I will leave the key to Mr. Yoshida. My cat just needs to replenish food and water regularly, and change the cat litter."

"Okay, I just have a rest tomorrow, so you can demonstrate it to me."

"Thank you. I should have sent it to pet foster care, but Xiao Hei was a stray cat before. I'm not sure if it will have a stress response. Mr. Yoshida helped a lot."

"Don't worry about this little thing, anyway, we live next door, it's just incidental."

Yoshida smiled and waved his hands, with a look of nostalgia on his face, and said, "Off-campus teaching... where are you going?"

"It's going to the mountains."

"Hey, are there any places around Tokyo that are suitable for off-campus teaching?"

"I'm not very clear about this, but the place we're going to is Chiba Prefecture."

"Chiba, will you go to Tokyo Disneyland?"

"No, I will never go to that kind of place again."

"Well, that's a pity."

"maybe."

Kato Yusuke smiled, did not delve into this topic, and turned his face to the balcony where the night was dark.

People, cities, and seasons move on, with or without special attention.

So we must move on to the next stage. As long as we stop for a while, the robbers of time will catch up.

Like it or not, some things seem to be ending.

Kato Yusuke casually looked at the moon hanging high in the night sky, and his scattered thoughts flowed aimlessly in the night.

The boy flew into the sky, and the girl rode in a carriage.

The chubby tapir grinned, holding a piece of nightmare in his mouth.

Seems like a good dream today.

As soon as this idea came up, I was mentally sleepy for a while.

He picked up the mug, drank the cold coffee in one gulp, and then let out a long breath.

"I'm going to take a shower and go to bed, so I'll put the cup with you first, Mr. Yoshida."

"Then I'll bring it to you after washing tomorrow."

"Okay, good night then, Mr. Yoshida."

"OK, good night."

After saying good night to each other, Kato Yusuke returned to the house with his cup.

The black cat nestled leisurely in the litter box, and rolled playfully in the litter box when he came back.Inevitably, the smooth and shiny black hair was stained with a lot of sawdust and turned gray.

A lot of cat litter spilled out of the litter box.

Kato Yusuke was taken aback for a moment when he saw this, and then immediately frowned, his anger soaring.

One person and one cat stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
