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

Chapter 577 Stars
This side of Tokyo, Kato's apartment.

After work, Yoshida came to him.

The other party was holding the cardboard box in his left hand and the hotel's packing bag in his right, staring at Kato Yusuke for a long time with such a complex expression, and finally let out a long and unrequited sigh.

"Hey... Anyway, want to have a drink together?"

"?"

Kato Yusuke, who heard this, couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and then asked with a smile: "I'm fine, but Mr. Yoshida, are you sure?"

Yoshida, who was still depressed a second ago, suddenly reacted and even cursed with a smile.

"You boy, go and drink juice honestly! It's off-duty time, and I haven't formally joined you yet, so it's useless even if you are the boss of the studio."

Kato Yusuke raised the corners of his mouth slightly, feeling very comfortable with this familiar attitude, so he agreed without arguing.

"I see. Sure enough, this is more like Mr. Yoshida's style."

"Hey! Are you boasting?"

"How come? People who are as principled as Mr. Yoshida are as rare as pandas."

"panda……"

This metaphor is a bit subtle, and Yoshida couldn't help being stunned when he heard it, and then he wrinkled his face and said, "You guy, don't think that if you change the metaphor, I won't be able to tell that you are mocking me!"

Kato Yusuke smiled at this and did not say a word, glanced at the box held in the other's left hand, which contained several programming books and some scattered office supplies.

Sensing his gaze, Yoshida didn't hide it, and admitted in a slightly awkward tone:
"As you can see, I have already resigned from my original company... Anyway, that's it. I'll go back and put my things first. These are the skewers I bought along the way. You can take them in."

"Okay, see you later."

"Ah, see you later."

After handing over the plastic bag to Kato Yusuke, Yoshida walked to the next door with the cardboard box in his arms and opened the door with the key.

Before the other party entered the room, Kato Yusuke clearly heard a sad sigh, which made him smile.

Apparently, Yoshida still has qualms about entering his studio and being an employee.

However, since he had already resigned from the original company, the other party was also on the verge of riding a tiger, so he had to bite the bullet.

Kato Yusuke didn't take this matter to heart.

After all, the other party is an adult who has been working for five years. This small matter can always be adjusted by himself. He just needs to give the promised treatment in place.

While thinking about this, Kato Yusuke walked into the living room with a plastic bag, and picked up the skewers and put them on the table.

The black cat smelled the aroma of food and couldn't help but feel a little eager to move.

Someone finally dismissed it with a packet of dried fish.

Just after finishing these things, there was movement outside.

"Good evening ~ Kato Tsai, are you there?"

"?"

With some doubts, Kato Yusuke walked to the entrance.

Asami Yuki was standing there.

The girl was wearing a light brown sweater and blue jeans, and was still holding a shopping bag from a convenience store in her hand. She still spoke in that familiar tone.

"Hello ~ Kato Tsai."

"...What's the matter, Mami?"

When he asked, the other party smiled and lifted the plastic bag in his hand.

"Qiangqiang~ I'm here to deliver a condolence item, huh?"

"Condolence...?"

"Hmm~ I bought a lot of fried chicken nuggets, so I'll share some with you and Yoshida. By the way, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?"

Kato Yusuke couldn't help being slightly taken aback, when he was about to blurt out "No need"...

"Sorry, Kato. I changed my clothes and kept you waiting... Huh, Mami?"

Yoshida from next door happened to come over.

"Ah, it's Yoshida-san~"

"Call me Mr.! Otherwise, you can just call me by your surname. Anyway, don't use the suffix "Zai". "

Mami chuckled, then waved her hand disapprovingly.

"Okay, okay~ I see. It means that you are still so rigid, Mr. Yoshida, it is difficult to please women like this."

"If you want to take care of it, what are you doing here?" Yoshida asked a little shyly.

"Me? I'm here to give you gifts, but what are you two doing?"

Asami said, her eyes switched between Kato Yusuke and Yoshida, and finally fell on the things in the latter's hand.

"Ah~! That's beer! Are you going to have a party?"

"No, it's just a light meal together." Yoshida waved his hand and said.

"Hmph~~So that's how it is."

Mami tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Okay~ Then I want to participate too!"

"Aha??"

Yoshida was dumbfounded.

"It's okay? Anyway, everyone is so familiar, and I also brought fried chicken nuggets. Right~? Kato Tsai."

"..."

Kato Yusuke frowned lightly, paused and replied, "Sorry, I don't think this is very good."

"Huh, why?"

Mami asked strangely: "Does it mean that you two big men eat together, won't it be boring? Just take me with you, so I'll bother you~~~"

After finishing speaking, he stepped into the hallway carelessly.

Then Kato Yusuke grabbed the wrist.

"Kato Tsai??"

The person concerned turned around with a puzzled look on his face, "What are you doing? It hurts so much, can you let me go?"

"Miss Mami."

Kato Yusuke let go of his hand, with a serious tone: "...do you understand that you are going to enter a house of the opposite sex now?"

"Uh……?"

Mami couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing, "Damn it, what are you saying? Don't worry~ I'm not interested in boys younger than me."

After a pause, she asked with a smirk on purpose in a provocative tone: "Still~ am I just in Kato Tsai's strike zone?"

Kato Yusuke frowned even deeper.

Seeing that the atmosphere became a little stiff, Yoshida stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Okay, Kato and I actually have business to talk about today. If you want to be together, wait until next time, Mami."

"Hey~~~Why is this so?"

Mami drawled her tone, with a dissatisfied expression on her face, "Obviously I also came to visit Kato Tsai on purpose."

"Eh? You're visiting Kato...?"

"Yes."

Mami nodded her head as a matter of course, glanced at the puzzled Kato Yusuke, and said nonchalantly:

"After all, didn't such annoying things happen on the Internet? I wondered if Kato Tsai would be affected, so I came to see. Isn't Mr. Yoshida here for this?"

"This……"

Yoshida scratched his head, momentarily at a loss for words.

"Well, I admit that I do have this idea... The question is, what do you think, Kato?"

"..."

Kato Yusuke looked at his two neighbors, his eyes focused on Mami's face, and he muttered to himself.

"...You are still the same as before, always slender in special places."

"Hey, Kato Tsai, did you say something?" Mami asked a little unclearly.

"nothing……"

Kato Yusuke shook his head and made a gesture of please.

"Sorry, my attitude was wrong just now, please come in if you don't mind."

◇

In the center of the living room, three people sat on the ground around a low table.

"Then, cheers~!"

Mami led the two to clink glasses without any notice, drank the juice in the glass in one go, and then took the initiative to stir up the topic.

"So ~ Yoshida-san and Kato Tsai, what is the business you want to talk about?"

Yoshida seemed a little hesitant about this, and hesitantly said: "...Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I resigned from my original company, and I'm going to go to Kato's side."

Faced with this sudden news, Mami couldn't help but exaggeratedly opened her eyes wide, and said in astonishment: "Hey! Mr. Yoshida is going to Katozai's side? No way, is this true?"

"... Well, that's what happened anyway." Yoshida replied with a straight face, and awkwardly picked up the beer and drank it.

While watching their reactions, Kato Yusuke opened his mouth to add something.

"I asked Mr. Yoshida for help in this matter. Because my studio has just been established, I need the guidance of experienced people like Mr. Yoshida."

Yoshida's face became better when he heard this, and then he blushed again, and said bluntly:
"Kato, you don't need to speak for me. I have my own considerations for joining you, and it's not a help."

He stopped here for a while, and then said: "...In short, all the matters on my side have been dealt with, and I can officially report to you tomorrow."

It has to be said that some things are always very unfortunate.

Since he decided to change jobs, Yoshida has been handling work handovers in his original company during this period, and he has also greeted his original colleagues, and everyone has known about his resignation.

I thought this would be a new starting point in my life, and I would be able to work hard in the new company with high spirits and realize my ideals and ambitions in life.

However, when he went to the company to pack his personal belongings today, he accidentally saw the storm on the Internet, and at the same time learned who the real boss of his studio was.

At that moment, Yoshida was desperate.

After all, it's a bit embarrassing for an old social animal to work under a high school student.

But what could he do?

I have already called my colleagues to say hello, I have eaten the breakup meal, and the leader has approved it, so can I still go back on my word?
This is no child's play.

What's more, it's not that he won't be ashamed after repenting.

On the one hand, it is the gossip of colleagues and leaders, and on the other hand, it is the studio founded by my neighbor.

Since either side may be embarrassing, it is better to simply choose the more realistic side.

The only good thing is that he didn't tell his original colleagues about the new company he worked for, so he wouldn't be ridiculed in a short time.

People, more or less always have a little desire to express.

Especially for Yoshida, who is emotionally frustrated, he wants to wait for some achievements to make his sweetheart look at him differently.

As a result, he was "trapped" by Yusuke Kato.

Otherwise, if he knew from the beginning that this was the other party's company, he wouldn't go no matter what he said.

But now the arrow is on the string, and it has to be launched.

Of course, this is actually just his little complaint.

After all, the treatment given by the "TYPE-MOON" studio is really good!

Thinking of this, Yoshida held up tons of beer and poured it fiercely, which seemed to be a bit of a drink to relieve his sorrow.

Seeing this, Mami couldn't help laughing and teasing.

"Wow, is this an adult? Yoshida-san, you look very imposing when you drink beer~"

"It's so noisy, the brat won't understand the difficulties of adults!"

Yoshida turned back first, then turned to look at Kato Yusuke.

"By the way, Kato. I also finished the website you asked me to develop before. Has Miss Hasumi told you?"

"Well, I haven't had time to watch it yet. I will watch it later. Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Yoshida."

"It's nothing... But, what are you planning to do with that weird website?"

Hearing the description "strange", Mami couldn't help but become interested.

"What what~? Kato Tsai, did he do anything interesting? Tell me too."

"It's about work. Why is JK so curious about everything now?"

"You can say such things, it just means that Mr. Yoshida has a strong sense of uncle in you."

"..."

Kato Yusuke thought for a while, and felt that this was not something that could not be said, so he briefly told them about the OSY Association.

After listening to his explanation, both Yoshida and Asami couldn't help opening their mouths in astonishment.

half an hour.

"Pfft...!"

Mami suddenly hugged her stomach and burst out laughing: "Are you serious about doing charity or something, Kato Tsai? Isn't this kind of idea too whimsical?"

Although Yoshida next to him didn't speak, he clearly had the same thought on his face.

Kato Yusuke didn't explain this, just ate in silence.He has seen similar reactions too much, and he is almost used to it.

Even so, he still said something.

"...You smile, but can you stop patting me on the shoulder, Mami."

"Ahaha, who told you to say that kind of thing? Are you saying that you are a fool, Kato Tsai? Otherwise, why would you do such a thankless thing?"

"You can think what you want, I have nothing to say."

"But~~~"

Mami asked with a smile while wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"This kind of thing is not as simple as picking up stray cats and dogs to bring home. They are real people! Can you be responsible for them?"

Kato Yusuke took a sip of oolong tea and pondered for a moment.

"...I didn't say that I should be responsible for them, I just gave those who have nowhere to go a choice, that's all."

His tone was very flat, with a sense of calmness.

"..."

Asami on the side gradually calmed down, and pressed her heaving chest with one hand, looking at him strangely.

a while.

She took a light breath, then reached out and patted Kato Yusuke on the shoulder, saying:
"Okay, I was wrong just now. I didn't expect you, Kato Tsai, to be unexpectedly decent, which made me a little impressed."

After a pause, he continued: "Anyway, this kind of thing is quite interesting. After I finish the university exam, I will go to your side as a volunteer~"

Kato Yusuke glanced at her and said nothing.

Yoshida joked in surprise: "It's because you talked about others like that just now, but now you are willing to be a volunteer? Mami."

"Mr. Yoshida, what do you mean by that?"

"Well...I just think that contrary to the surface, you are surprisingly good at caring about others."

"What? What do you mean?"

Asami blushed when she heard this, and slapped Yoshida on the shoulder mercilessly.

"Idiot! Mr. Yoshida, you are so annoying!"

"It hurts to death! You are the one, there is no big or small!"

Kato Yusuke's expression softened, and he couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic for the lively atmosphere, then turned his head and looked out the window.

The bright moon hangs high in the dark night sky, and several stars float in the sky, shining faintly and brightly.

He couldn't help but be dazed, until a voice reached his ears.

"Ah~ It's a pity that today is a cloudy day, otherwise there should be more stars than now."

"?"

Looking back, what caught my eye was a slightly resolute side face.

Under Kato Yusuke's puzzled gaze, Mami smiled and looked away from the window, and then spoke.

"Actually, I know a place where you can see a super beautiful starry sky. The number of stars you can see there is simply shocking. I can't imagine that there is such a place in Tokyo."

"Is that so..."

"Yeah~ that's my secret base, and I usually don't tell others easily, but I can tell you especially Kato Tsai, you can take your girlfriend with you next time."

Mami said with a smile: "Listen, there is actually a..."

'A grassy park built on a hill. '

Kato Yusuke looked at Mami quietly, and meditated with Mami in his heart.

Finally, he bowed his head silently.

No matter how bright the stars in Tokyo are, they cannot be as bright as Hokkaido.
