Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home

  Chapter 236 Negotiation to be in the bath

   "Whoa, whoa—"

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

  As a strong figure stepped into the pool, the reflection on the water surface was smashed into pieces by the ripples that spread out from the inside out. But it didn't take long for it to slowly return to its original state, except that the water surface was a little higher than before, and there was no abnormality.

   Being in this half-swimming pool-sized bath, enjoying the gentle stroking of the slightly hot water, as if the physical and mental exhaustion has been removed in an instant, one can't help but relax.

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

   "Well, come in."

   Even though he knew that he couldn't see him on the other side, Yusuke Kato nodded habitually and asked the girl's head on the screen, "What were you doing before? I didn't answer the call to you."

   "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 his words: "And then, has Yusuke already eaten? What did you have for dinner?"

   Leaning back on the edge of the bathtub, Kato Yusuke replied calmly: "Well... I ate salad, fish and chips, and cream of mushroom soup."

   "Huh, is that so? It's all Western food... You did mention that the girl is of mixed English and Japanese. Did she make it herself?"

   "No, Yingri is not so self-reliant yet, I think it was probably made by their maid or chef."

   "Wow, you said maid!"

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

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

   "You said foreigners...!"

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

   "Ah, in a sense it does."

As he said that, he explained the other party's parents following the ambassador's visit to the UK, and then continued to ask: "...That's probably the case, would you consider coming over to accompany me? It shouldn't be too much for Yingri alone. Get too nervous."

   There was a brief silence.

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

   "It's not clear about that."

"Eh??"

   "But it's supposed to help you catch the dead end of the work or something, just like the previous time."

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

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

"…Oh."

   Sayu replied a little unhappily: "But it's still okay, don't you think it's like a "heavy girl"? "

   paused and continued, "But on the other hand, can Yusuke promise me a few conditions?"

"condition?"

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

   "Wow, why can you talk about this kind of thing like the "Newspapers and Merchants Association"? "

   First, he complained in surprise, and then he asked carefully: "...But... can't it?"

After    finished speaking, even the subtle breathing stopped temporarily.

   Suddenly, the girl's apprehensive appearance appeared in front of her eyes, holding her phone in both hands and holding her breath.

   made him unable to help but say silently: "...than that, I'd rather have you by my side now."

   His voice sounded muffled due to the towel covering his face, but anyone could hear the sincerity in his words.

Then there was a burst of snarky laughter on the opposite side: "...Even if you say so, 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. , Yusuke~"

   "You know I'm not referring to that." Kato Yusuke couldn't help but be speechless.

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

   "Well, I know~"

   I just heard the girl whisper: "Because me too, if I can, I really don't want to be separated from you Yusuke for a moment. So... Can you finish things earlier and pick me up?"

   Having said this, the two of them couldn't help being quiet at the same time.

   It was as if there was a thread connecting them together. Even though the two of them were not in the same position at the moment, they could clearly perceive each other's existence.

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

   After being silent for a long time, Kato Yusuke slowly exhaled: "Well, I see. Are there any other requests?"

   "Well...then..."

   Just heard Sayu say timidly: "If someone can think of me, I should be very happy."

   In response, the corners of the boy's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and he sank down a little so that the water surface could reach his neck.

   While feeling the package of hot water, he asked in a warm voice to the phone, "Speaking of which, do you have any other arrangements?"

   "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 said thoughtfully, "Wait a minute, if it's convenient, do we want a video call?"

   "…Huh? Wait, what 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 show you the work scene, if you don't feel bored..."

   At the speed of almost rushing to answer, Sayu immediately responded: "That, I want to see!"

   Immediately, as if feeling embarrassed by his urgency, he added in a low voice, "...Ah, I mean, if possible..."

   Kato Yusuke couldn't help but smiled at this: "Understood, then let's do this for now, I'll discuss it with Eiri later, and 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 due to physical means, they both stared at the phone silently for a long time after that, as if they were still immersed in some kind of aftertaste.
