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

Regarding Kondo Kazuto's departure, neither Yukihei Nakano nor Yusuke Kato cared about it.

Rather, from the moment the two parties met, Kondo Kazuto was no longer a person worthy of attention, and the focus of the problem also shifted to another key figure.

——Nakano Ryoko.

In fact, Kato Yusuke had long been mentally prepared that one day he would offend the chairman by taking in Ryoko Nakano, but now he was unexpectedly found.

Thanks to this, he finally understood where the difficulties the studio had encountered in the past week came from. It was obviously the work of the other party.

In this depressing atmosphere, Nakano Yukihei spoke in a low voice——

"Kato-kun, do you understand what you are doing now? No matter what Ryoko said to you, it is a family matter between us. What position do you have to get involved?"

Kato Yusuke cleared his throat and responded calmly.

"I'm sorry, Chairman. My guardian often teaches me to repay kindness. Senior Sister Nakano has a lot of kindness to me, and I can't just sit back and watch when she encounters difficulties."

"--Humph."

Nakano Yukihira snorted coldly: "By repaying a favor, do you mean ignoring the opinions of us guardians and concealing Ryoko's whereabouts without authorization?"

"Perhaps this is true in your opinion, Chairman, but with all due respect, your daughter is already an adult, and it seems that even parents should not interfere too much." Kato Yusuke replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"Nonsense—!"

Nakano Yukihira suddenly raised his voice and shouted loudly: "I have my own arrangements for Ryoko. I know very well how she can get happiness. Why is it your turn as an outsider to talk too much?"

Kato Yusuke expressed deep doubts: "Ignoring Nakano-senpai's wishes, can she really be happy?"

"My wish? It's simply ridiculous." Nakano Yukihira sneered at this with a very disdainful expression.

"You young people talk about freedom all day long, thinking that no matter what choice you make, it will be fine. You don't understand the good intentions of your parents at all. Did Ryoko tell you the reason for the quarrel with the family?"

Kato Yusuke shook his head silently, "Nakano-senpai didn't say anything, but I could see that she was under a lot of pressure. She has a calm personality and is not someone who will run away from home easily."

Nakano Yukihira raised his eyebrows in surprise and curled his lips and said: "You are so big-hearted that you dare to take people home without knowing anything. No wonder you would set up that kind of charity organization."

Kato Yusuke was slightly startled when he heard this, and then immediately replied: "I'm sorry, I did that simply because I trust Nakano-senpai, there is no other reason."

Nakano Yukihira narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "You should be glad that you didn't do anything to Ryoko, otherwise you wouldn't have the chance to stand here today."

Kato Yusuke's heart trembled, and he heard a strong threat from this sentence.

The other party's tone was calm, but there was a feeling that the situation was under control, as if to imply that even if Ryoko Nakano ran away from home, she would not be able to escape his grasp.

Kato Yusuke frowned tightly, suddenly understanding more about Ryoko Nakano's situation.

This chairman is obviously the kind of person who has a strong desire for control and cannot tolerate any objection, even when facing his own daughter.

He couldn't help but feel that it was very difficult, but he still managed to gather his energy and not let himself back down. At the same time, he tried hard to find the right words to speak slowly.

"A person like you who is used to controlling everything will probably never understand Nakano-senpai's thoughts. You just want to unilaterally impose your will on Nakano-senpai."

"Oh--?"

Nakano Yukihira raised the corners of his lips sarcastically and asked: "In that case, what do you understand Ryoko?"

“The Nakano-senpai I know is an excellent and independent person who doesn’t need others to interfere with her future.

I believe that even if she doesn't follow your arrangements, she has enough strength to pursue the life she wants.Why don't you be more optimistic and try to understand each other with your daughter? "

"Huh——, you want to say that staying and working in your game company is what Ryoko wants to do? Has she ever admitted it personally? Or do you just think so based on wishful thinking?"

"Even if it's not in my company, Nakano-senpai can still display her talents elsewhere."

"In this case, let me ask you, do you know how difficult it is to get a job in a well-known company?"

"I think it will be a narrow bridge."

"No matter what industry, the elimination rate of well-known companies is as high as a hundred times. Among more than 1000 fresh graduates, only a few can be admitted. Putting aside family factors, do you think there is a chance that Liangzi can be in the right place after graduation? Entering an industry you like?”

"You can also accumulate experience in some small companies first, and then climb up step by step, right?"

"Do you think other job seekers wouldn't think so? No matter which path you take, it's still difficult.

According to you, if Ryoko wants to show off her talents, she must at least be a business that can make stable profits.Putting aside the fact that there are not many companies like this, how can you guarantee that Liangzi will be able to successfully enter management? "

"... Even so, Nakano-senpai has the right to pursue the life she wants."

"Naive! Do you think pursuing your dreams won't be a waste of time? If Ryoko enters a small enterprise like that and is overwhelmed by the low salary and heavy workload, it will be too late to change jobs in the end-"

Nakano Yukihira stared closely into his eyes and asked word for word: "Kato-kun, can you take on that responsibility by then? Can you raise Ryoko?"

"This--"

Kato Yusuke opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to refute, while the other party continued to talk fiercely.

“Don’t confuse ideals with reality. Although this may sound like a cliché, it is also an undeniable truth.

Rather than letting Liangzi suffer a cruel blow in the process of chasing her dreams, it would be better to obey our arrangements, get married early and inherit the family business.Is it wrong for parents to have such expectations? "

Only then did Kato Yusuke realize that Ryoko Nakano was forced into marriage by her family, which led to the subsequent series of events.

He said with some difficulty: "...No wonder Nakano-senpai would make that choice, you are too arbitrary."

"What? Did she feel wronged by inheriting the family business? How much money can she earn by working outside? The family can give her much more than that."

"But the price is to exchange Nakano-senpai's own happiness and freedom."

"So what -?" Nakano Yukihira said openly.

“Since she enjoys the resources provided by her family, she has an obligation to contribute to it.

The same goes for the girl you adopted before and the charity organization. If Liangzi was not born in this family, how could she help you settle so many things?

From this point of view, you are actually not qualified to discuss this with me! "

"—!"

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but lost his voice, and was speechless by these words.

As if seeing the wavering in his heart, Nakano Yukihei said again:
"You seem to be a sensible person, and I also know that your career is developing well. At least you deserve to be praised as outstanding among your peers.

You might be able to become a go-to person in your circle, providing support for others in pursuing their dreams, just as you do for those of the opposite sex around you.

But you are far from qualified to interfere in Liangzi's affairs. At least now you don't have the courage to interfere with my daughter's future.

No matter what you think in your heart, this farce is over. Let Liangzi go home, and then go back and live your life well. Don't instill strange thoughts in Liangzi, otherwise it will be more than just a tax audit next time. "

"........."

Kato Yusuke remained silent, clenching his hands into fists by his legs, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"So in your opinion, it doesn't matter if Nakano-senpai marries someone she doesn't like?"

"Oh, how do you know that I didn't give Ryoko a chance?" Nakano Yukihira looked at him and said as if he heard something funny.

"Actually, I have asked Liangzi a long time ago. If she is willing, she can consider recruiting you as my wife. It's just that she has been reluctant to decide."

Kato Yusuke's body shook suddenly, and then he raised his head in disbelief and murmured a question——

"…………what did you say?"
