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

Chapter 514 The rude boy
——"At 05:30 in the afternoon, come here for me, if you dare not come or if you are late, you will bear the consequences."

On Wednesday, Yusuke Kato received such a message.

Along with the message, there is also a string of specific addresses.

In normal times, such short-term notices would usually be completely ignored by him.

However, considering the identity of the sender behind it, he decided to accept it.

So-

According to the address sent by the other party, after school, Kato Yusuke came to the Odaiba side - Grand Nikko Hotel Tokyo Odaiba.

Ignoring the doorman's hesitant performance, he stepped into the magnificent hotel lobby calmly, and then took the elevator to the top floor of the 23rd floor.

Open the door and step out of the elevator.

Under the slightly dim ambient lighting, the smooth black marble floor stretches straight.

After a little distance, a small square light board hanging on the wall shows the name of this place - "Mikage Pavilion".

Although the text is in Chinese, this is an out-and-out Japanese restaurant.

Even among the top restaurants in Tokyo, this place can be regarded as the famous one. It is so popular that even reservations have to be queued for several months.

If you use one sentence to describe the identity of the guests entertained here...

"There are great Confucians in talking and laughing, but there are no white people in communication."——That's probably the case.

As soon as Fang entered the store, a woman in a plain kimono bowed to greet her.

"Welcome to Mikage Pavilion, do you have an appointment?" the other party asked softly, even if he saw the student uniform he was wearing.

Kato Yusuke slightly nodded his head, and replied, "Ocha no Mizu."

"So it's Ochanomizu's guest? Okay, I understand, please follow me." The woman bent over again, and then led him to go deep.

The two of them crossed the screen at the entrance, took two steps, and the scenery suddenly opened up.

What appeared in front of me was a garden that was so wide that it didn't look like the interior of the building.

The sound of gurgling water flowed in my ears.

Wherever the eye can see.

The stream flows, the wooden bridge crosses, and the carp play in the water.

The Luwei made of emerald green bamboo makes a "pa-dong-" sound, and from time to time a few carp are startled to "pa-hua~" jump out of the water and flee in all directions.

Tranquil lights reflect the surface of the water, swaying with the waves.

The warm air in the room is sufficient and the temperature is suitable, creating an atmosphere full of mystery.

"Please pay attention to your steps..."

The waiter carefully reminded, and led Kato Yusuke to the deepest box on the corridor - "Ocha no Mizu".

"This way please... The guests on the other side have already arrived first."

As she spoke, she knelt and sat on the ground, while carefully opening the paper-wooden door, she made a respectful gesture.

Kato Yusuke nodded his thanks, and then walked into the bright and spacious tatami room.

The waiter said goodbye softly behind him, and slowly closed the door.

In front of almost a stack (tatami size) of long wooden tables, a woman and a man are sitting diagonally.

The woman sitting in the upper seat has long brown-red hair, a pretty face, and a slender figure.

She was wearing an ivory white shirt made of silk and black trousers. The first two buttons of the shirt were unbuttoned at will, and a small piece of white neck was slightly opened, which was slightly sexy.

In contrast, the boy sitting in the lower seat near the entrance has light brown curly hair.

The delicate appearance is still handsome, and there is a passionate tear mole under the left eye, which belongs to the kind of appearance that is very pleasing to the opposite sex.

Although he is wearing a mature black shirt and suit, it can still be seen that his real age is not very old.

At the same time, there is a frivolous and frivolous atmosphere on his body, vaguely feeling like a cowherd worker (from someone's perspective).

Kato Yusuke's eyes swept across the latter's face and transferred to the former's face, just in time to meet a pair of lazy wine red eyes.

Needless to say, the other party was the one who called him here—Akane Benizaka.

As for the curly-haired boy, he didn't know him.

But since he can appear here, he will naturally know the reason later, so he is not in a hurry.

It is in such an environment...

"Oh, this kid is here..."

Benizaka Zhuyin casually started the conversation: "Iori, this is the person I told you about. I don't think I need to introduce any more, right?"

The second after she finished speaking, the slightly curly-haired boy stood up with one hand on his knee.

"Don't bother Miss Zhu Yin."

The person concerned showed a refreshing smile, and responded with a voice that seemed slightly sharp to a boy, but clear and bright.

"I know the most popular manga artist and the most anticipated newcomer genius since Sister Zhu Yin. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Fujimoto."

While talking, he took the initiative to extend a hand to Yusuke, smiling very kindly.

"Having said that...but I was actually taken aback. I really didn't expect that I would be a handsome guy of this level."

"Hmph~ It should be said that he is not only good-looking, but he is also as philandering as you, Iori? From this alone, you should be able to have a lot of common language."

"...That's just sister Zhu Yin's personal perception, please don't say it to the outside world?"

Benizaka Akane laughed, as if she thought it was very funny.

The boy named Iori turned his face back, and introduced himself: "Well, just as sister Zhu Yin said, I, Iori HASHIMA, please take care of me, Mr. Fujimoto."

"..."

Kato Yusuke looked down at the hand in front of him, shook it lightly, and said concisely: "Kato Yusuke, nice to meet you."

His attitude was a little cold, but Hashima Iori didn't seem to mind, and just made a gesture of invitation behind him enthusiastically.

"All in all, teacher, please sit inside first. I'm sorry that we have already started the table, please allow me to apologize to you for Miss Zhu Yin's rudeness."

Kato Yusuke's eyes were a little darker, and he looked at the tabletop noncommittally, which was a scene very familiar to him.

Although there were quite a few dishes and wine on the table, they all looked like they had been enjoyed by others, presenting a mess, which is definitely not the way to entertain guests.

He was not surprised by this. After all, with Hongsaka Zhuyin's self-respecting character, if there was a day when he would obediently wait for him to attend before using his chopsticks, he would let the sun come out from the west.

Having said that, there is no need for him to accept the arrangement of a stranger...

So ever.

Under the surprised eyes of HASHIMA Iori, he just walked forward and sat down beside Akane Benizaka.

Witnessing this scene, Iori HASHIMA couldn't help being startled, but when she saw that Akane Benizaka had no objection, she re-sat thoughtfully.

"So--"

Kato Yusuke put the shoulder bag aside, and asked the person beside him, "What did you call me here so suddenly? Auntie."

"...!"

HASHIMA Iori froze suddenly, screaming inwardly.

Sure enough...

"--what?"

Benizaka Akane, who was still drinking leisurely, suddenly raised her eyebrows, her face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and put the wine glass on the table with a "boom!"

"...You don't want to live, kid."

The murderous tone can almost freeze the air, making people shudder.

"Well, sister Zhu Yin...you should calm down first."

Iori HASHIMA smiled wryly and raised her hands, just as she was about to show her face, but in the next second, she saw a scene that surprised him.

As if turning a blind eye to Benizaka Akane, who was obviously about to erupt, someone just took the glass of wine from the former without changing his face, and drank it down in one gulp.

Then he said lightly: "...you have said this kind of thing more than once, it should be something new, Qian."

Um--? ? ?
This person... what was his name just now? ? ?
Iori HASHIMA's eyes trembled, and she subconsciously looked at the other party, eager to know the other party's reaction.

However, Akane Benizaka's reaction was very strange...

Seeing that face that should have been burning with anger, it was rare to be a little puzzled at this moment.

As if realizing something, the other party glanced at him for some reason, with some speculation brewing in his wine-red eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a meaningful smile appeared from the corner of the other party's lips, but it disappeared immediately.

Benizaka Akane took back her wine glass with a calm face, silently looked at the slightly faded lipstick on the rim of the glass, and said casually:
"...Impolite boy, if you want to drink, why don't you pour it yourself, and you like to drink my saliva so much?"

Kato Yusuke was completely unmoved by this, his face was as calm as water, "It's not once or twice anyway."

Hongsaka Zhuyin suddenly smiled with great interest, his eyes stayed on his face for a while, and then raised his eyes to look at the opposite side.

After thinking for a while, he lightly parted his vermilion lips.

"Ah...it's really troublesome, that's why I hate brats."

Talking to herself, she filled a glass of wine for herself, and then announced:

"...Anyway, let me introduce you again, Iori. This awkward boy is my little lover, who can barely be regarded as a boyfriend ~ You will help me urge him for a while."

"Uh...boyfriend...?" Iori HASHIMA murmured dumbfounded, as if frightened.

"Yeah, boyfriend, it's very useful." Benizaka Akane nodded lightly, without much explanation.

However, through this series of events, it was enough for HASHIMA Iori to understand their relationship.

In an instant, his expression became weird, and even his usually self-proclaimed shrewd brain couldn't help being a little confused.

If I remember correctly, this Mr. Fujimoto tree should be about the same age as him, and sister Zhu Yin's age is...

According to this, wouldn't it be that... driving?

He was thinking so wildly, but Kato Yusuke asked directly.

"What do you mean by urging me? Akane."

"It's nothing~ just to prevent your enthusiasm from fading and becoming idle when you have money, so find someone to watch you."

"Look at me... what are you looking for?"

Benizaka Akane explained: "From today until the end of your manga, Iori will watch over you for me. Once you have any signs of laziness, I will come and deal with you immediately."

"...Like a reminder?"

"Well, that's understandable too."

"you do not trust me?"

"These are two different things. Anyway, the sooner you finish drawing the manga, the sooner you will be free, so my side can also start to operate as soon as possible."

"...I understand what you mean, but is it necessary to find a middleman for this kind of thing?"

"Who told me that I don't have time to keep an eye on you all the time? You won't take it seriously if you send someone who doesn't have enough weight. Yizhi is the number one disciple I have trained, so I feel more at ease in his work."

Kato Yusuke glanced at Hashima Iori, and continued, "Actually, even if you don't make this kind of arrangement, I won't delay the draft on the manga."

"That's not all. Although Iori can't draw or write scripts, he is very talented as a producer. Isn't your studio opening soon? He can help you."

"...Sorry, but I have no plans to recruit a producer, and I'm not used to being followed."

"Heh, let's not say that your studio is no different from a harem, and you can't find a real knowledgeable producer in it... The most important thing is——"

Benizaka Zhuyin sneered and said, "You didn't refuse this matter. After all, I am Party A, so naturally I have the right to appoint supervisors and protect my own rights."

"But that's just about Saw Man, not my studio."

"Kid who doesn't know good and bad, do you think Iori is the kind of guy who only has theories?

You must know that even my club and company are helping me, and the contacts he has mastered can save you a lot of pitfalls!

Whether you are willing to use Iori is your problem, but he is doing things for me, so don't make a mistake. "

The two just quarreled like no one else, while HASHIMA Iori on the opposite side watched with a subtle expression.

At the same time, he finally figured out why he was assigned this job.

Don't look at Hongsaka Zhuyin's rude words now, but in the final analysis, he is still taking care of someone.

Otherwise, there are so many people in the association who know management and production, and it would not be necessary to send him here.

You must know that although he is still young, he is already a representative of the ultra-popular fan club - "rouge en rouge".

Under such a premise, no matter how popular the comics of this Mr. Fujimoto tree are, there is no reason to ask him to come and help.

Not to mention that Benizaka Zhuyin still revealed in words that he planned to let him handle irrelevant studio matters for the other party.

From his point of view, isn't this a kind of preference and care?
If it is rational, he is not incomprehensible.

However, in terms of sensibility, there is still a feeling of being underestimated.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but said: "...Excuse me, Miss Zhu Yin, Kato-kun, may I interrupt you?"

"..."

"..."

The two people who were arguing stopped at the same time.

"... What's the matter with you? Iori." Benizaka Akane asked.

Although Kato Yusuke didn't speak, he looked over in silence.

Meet the eyes of the two.

HASHIMA Iori nodded solemnly at first, and then focused on the latter.

"Anyway, I already fully understand what Sister Zhu Yin means, but I also have an unfeeling request here."

He looked straight at Kato Yusuke, and asked in a provocative tone:
"If it's possible, about the true strength of Kato-kun, who is highly respected by sister Zhu Yin, can I see it with my own eyes?"
