Chapter 438 The well-behaved Shin Tiao Xiang

"——You went to see Senior Shiyu."

Shintiao Xiang's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"……yes."

"reason."

"I just want to apologize to Kasumigaoka-senpai for what happened last time..."

"..."

Kato Yusuke opened his eyes slightly and asked, "Did I ask you to do such a thing?"

Shinjoka couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and timidly replied: "...No, I am the one who makes the decision."

Kato Yusuke didn't say anything, he just stared at her quietly, his black eyes like a bottomless pit that could absorb one's soul, making Shinjoka feel uncomfortable and timid in his heart.

"...I'm sorry, I thought the master would not want me anymore." She said in a pretense of aggrievement, putting her hands and chin on his knees with a pitiful look on her face.

Kato Yusuke was noncommittal, "What did you say to Shiba-senpai?"

"...No, I really just want to apologize. I said I could sit down with Kasumigaoka-senpai, but she just gave me a warning and left."

"Toshitaza?"

"yes."

Shinjoka nodded obediently.

Kato Yusuke lowered his head and pondered for a while, and his tone became a little quiet, "...you must listen carefully to the two things I will say next."

Shintiao Xiang immediately sat upright and looked attentive, "Master, please speak~!"

"First of all, don't play tricks like this with Senior Shiyu and others in the future; secondly, I didn't ask you to do anything, so you can't make the decision without permission."

Kato Yusuke stretched out his thumb and index finger, gently pinched her chin, and asked, "Do you remember?"

"I will obey my master in everything!"

Shinjoka nodded repeatedly, and then asked, "But... I like the master, but the master doesn't let me do it. What should I do?"

Kato Yusuke turned his wrist slightly, first held her chin to raise her face, then lightly scratched her soft chin with his fingers, and added casually.

"Finally, don't pretend."

Shinjoka stretched her neck forward slightly as if she was enjoying it, and gently held his hand with her little hand. Her squinting expression looked very comfortable.

"More and more like pets."

"Hey~ But I am originally my master's pet~"

Shinjou meowed, looking as innocent as a cat-eared maid, then lowered her head and licked the base of his palm like a dragonfly dripping water.

The smooth touch that is completely different from that of a little black cat slides across the palm, causing an itch.

Kato Yusuke withdrew his hand, not wanting to work for a moment, and instead began to stroke her soft short hair.

Although he didn't say anything, this action made Shinjoka feel a lot more at ease, so he restlessly put his arms on his legs, rested his head on his arms, and leaned on him.

In fact.

Ever since that incident in the classroom during lunch break.

Although Shintiao Xiang looks very relaxed on the surface and doesn't take it to heart, in fact he is a little worried inside.

Among them are not only worries about Kasumigaoka Shiu, who may use this to deal with her, but also worries about Kato Yusuke's possible termination of the contract.

But now, she is completely relieved.

At least Kato Yusuke doesn't have such thoughts at the moment, otherwise he would definitely not be so close to her again.

Shinjoka also has her own opinions on Kato Yusuke. Although this person looks a little sentimental on the surface, he is actually a quite ruthless person.

If one were to choose one person among the existing student council members who could influence Kato Yusuke the most, Shinjoka always thought it would be the vice-president. After all, his attitude towards her was quite special.

Unexpectedly, the first person to take the position was Kasumigaoka Shiyu.

This incident made Shintiao Xiang feel very surprised and a little regretful at the same time.

But now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, she has to accept it.

As for that Sawamura classmate, she has always been as innocent as the legend says. Although she is a little sorry to say this, Shinjoka feels that if she continues like this, she will never be able to get on the track.

'But who cares about her, it's none of my business anyway, I just need to listen to what the president says.'

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel proud, and she slightly raised her head and looked up.

They saw that although Kato Yusuke was stroking her hair gently, his eyes were looking out the window, as if he was looking into the distance, slightly in a trance, not knowing what he was thinking.

Such a scene made Shinjoka feel a little surprised, thinking that this person would also show such an expression, and she became thoughtful because of it.

"..."

She looked at his handsome, slightly lonely face and suddenly felt a little jealous for no reason, but she quickly restrained this slight emotion.

Shinjoka's mind went through the three girls, and then she asked calmly: "...Can I ask a question, President?"

"……explain."

The hoarse voice was a little distracted.

"President, do you like Kasumigaoka-senpai very much?"

Kato Yusuke stopped moving his hands, looked down, and stated: "This is not something you should ask."

Shinjoko let out an ooh, and immediately fell silent obediently. She just grabbed the hand that was on his head and gently rubbed it with his furry head, like an obedient cat.

So Kato Yusuke resumed his movements and said, "If nothing happens, just go back."

"Hey~~~ But I want to stay with the president. Anyway, I will only see a bunch of uncles when I go back, can't I...?"

"……what ever."

"Otherwise...will the president come to my house today?"

Shinjoka hummed and said, "I can prepare delicious food for you, and I can also bring you delicious drinks. Of course, it would be better if you are willing to stay~"

Kato Yusuke shook his head and declined the invitation.

Seeing this, Shintiao Xiang said no more.

…

In the afternoon of the next day.

Kato Yusuke came to the shopping street here in Ikebukuro. In addition to Yamaguchi and Takei, there were also Yoshiko and Megumi.

The cause of all this originated from a baseball practice during lunch break.

——"After today's training is over, let's go buy things for off-campus teaching together, so you should also finish the work of the student union early today, Kato."

Yamaguchi, who was tortured like a dead dog, casually extended the invitation, but was rejected by Kato Yusuke on the grounds that "he still has work to do."

Yamaguchi Takashi did not give up easily, but ran to the student union with Takei after the baseball club's training, and forced Yusuke out as a joke.

As a last resort.

Kato Yusuke ended today's work early and handed over the matter of locking the door to Shinjoka.

As for Shiyu-senpai and Eiri, the former took leave from school at noon due to work reasons, and the latter also went to the art club for the art exhibition.

Therefore, there was no disturbance.

The group of people took the train, arrived in Ikebukuro, and headed straight to the outdoor goods store.

Two girls walked in front and three boys walked in the back.

Just arrived at The North Face store.

Even in this kind of store, the two girls showed sufficient desire to shop. After announcing that they would look separately, they walked towards the clothing area.

On the contrary, the three old men came to the tool area.

"Oh! Kato, what do you think of this thing?" Yamaguchi asked excitedly, pointing to something in the cupboard.

Kato Yusuke withdrew his gaze from the clothing area and looked in the direction of his finger. What caught his eye was a camouflage-colored multifunctional knife.

"You want to buy?"

"Yeah, yeah! Don't you think this is cool?"

"give up."

"why!?"

"What are you going to do with it?"

"Well, since it is multi-functional, it can naturally be used for many things, such as peeling fruits and processing ingredients. It can be anything. Hmm? Let's put it this way..."

Yamaguchi said, holding up his chin, thinking, and suddenly thought: "Okay! Kato! I want to buy a hidden sword——!!"

Seeing him talking more and more energetically, Kato Yusuke gently raised one foot and kicked his huge butt.
