I briefly mentioned to everyone the idea of restarting the studio.
After the student union activities were over, Kato Yusuke took Shiu home by bicycle, and then went to a medium-sized apartment near Toyosaki Station.
Store the mountain bike downstairs, go to the third-to-last room at the end of the corridor on the fourth floor of the apartment, and press the doorbell.
Ding Dong~
The usual electric bell rang.
About ten seconds later, brisk footsteps came from behind the door.
"May I ask which one it is..."
A dignified face appeared behind the opened door.
The elegant white one-shoulder sling highlights the snow-white shoulders, and the lower body is a simple blue denim skirt.
The person involved was dressed quite casually, and his hair was casually tied into braids.
"Kato...classmate...?"
Hassan saw Kanoko muttering blankly, with an expression that seemed a little surprised.
"Good evening."
Kato Yusuke looked at her from top to bottom, his eyes extending from the graceful collarbone down, deliberately staying on the white and translucent legs for a moment, and then raised his face.
He cleared his throat and said: "Hello, beautiful boy delivery service."
"……What?"
Seeing Kanoko, Hassan first tilted her head in confusion.
Then, as if he understood something, but also as if he didn't understand anything at all, his face glowed from the bottom of his heart.
"Why are you here? Come in quickly." She said in surprise, and hurriedly stepped aside to get out of the way, fully opening the door that was only a third open as a gesture of invitation.
However, Kato Yusuke just looked at her with a smile but did not enter.
"Before that, according to the regulations, are you sure you want to name me?"
"name?"
"Do you want to substitute?"
"...Don't say that in front of the gate! It will be misunderstood."
After reacting, Ren saw Kanoko's face blushing and gave him an angry look. She couldn't hide her joy and urged: "...Bad guy, come in quickly."
"As you wish."
Kato Yusuke smiled faintly and stepped forward directly.
——Padang.
The sound of the door closing sounded behind him.
Before he could ask about the slippers, a soft body rushed over and pushed his back against the wall with a little force.
The smell of elegant perfume penetrates the nose.
A pair of soft jade arms went around the shoulders and hugged the neck.
The next second, red lips exuding sweetness kissed him and squeezed his lips selflessly.
Kato Yusuke tasted the coffee, but he couldn't make a sound. He could only feel the smoothness like cheese pudding spreading.
The delicate body of jade and soft flowers squeezed into her arms and pushed him against the wall.
The other party kissed him so passionately, humming quietly from time to time, as if expressing his longing for him.
It wasn't until an unknown amount of time passed that Ren saw Kanoko reluctantly let go of his lips, but did not move her face away.
The moist lips exhaled like blue, blowing the hot and moist breath on his face.
As if still immersed in Ji Dong's emotions, the other party just hung on him, pressing her straight nose against his cheek, rubbing his ears and temples.
Even breathing is very hot.
Even through the clothes, Kato Yusuke could feel the woman's heart beating rapidly under her chest, which sounded inexplicably quiet...
The quiet and restless atmosphere makes people don't want to talk, they just want to stay like this for a little longer.
Hasumi Kanoko sniffed his scent and murmured in a low voice: "You came to me so late... little rascal..."
"Well, sorry."
Kato Yusuke quietly stretched out his hand, wrapped it around her slender waist, which was not much wider than an A4 paper, and hugged her a little tighter in a comforting manner.
"...Why are you still wearing your uniform?"
"I came here before I even had time to go home and change my clothes."
"You are so aboveboard, aren't you worried about being seen by others...?"
"By whom?"
Hasumi Kanoko took a deep breath, moved her head back slightly, looked at him and said:
"Actually, when you rang the doorbell just now, I thought it was Teacher Maria."
“That big-wave English teacher?”
A fist knocked lightly on his head.
"You can't call teacher by such a nickname~"
Kato Yusuke deliberately teased her and said, "Among boys, maybe this is a compliment?"
Seeing that Kanoko was even more dissatisfied after hearing this, Hassan wrinkled her face and pretended to be fierce, and responded: "That won't work, you have me."
"Miss, please be more reserved. Can you please be a little softer?"
"Oh? Isn't it a delivery service?"
"That's right."
"I can do something that will make you unforgettable."
"...Why are the roles reversed unknowingly?"
The two people were talking and couldn't help but laugh at the same time.
I put on my slippers and walked into the living room.
There are two cups of coffee on the dining table.
Because it didn't look like it was prepared for him, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but turn around and ask.
"Do you have any guests? Kano-chan."
"Didn't I tell you?"
Kanoko Hasumi, who followed slowly, explained: "Teacher Maria just sat here with me for a while. She lives on the floor above me."
"Is that so, which glass is yours?"
"Hey... do you want to drink?"
"I've been riding a bicycle for a long time and I'm a little thirsty. Isn't it okay?"
"That's not the case. The cup on the left is mine, but the coffee is a bit cold. I'll make another cup for...ah, you can't just drink it cold!"
Ignoring her dissuasion, Kato Yusuke directly picked up the mug on the left and drank the remaining half of the coffee in it.
Only then did my thirsty throat feel a little better.
"Don't you know that water from afar cannot quench the thirst that is close by? Mr. Mandarin."
"... Sophistry, drinking cold coffee is bad for your stomach."
"Then could you please make another cup of coffee or pour me a glass of water?"
Hasumi Kanoko rolled her eyes at him and took the mug to the kitchen to boil water.
Kato Yusuke pulled up a dining chair and sat down, looking around the room casually.
The furnishings in the room were still much the same as before, but coming here this time gave him an inexplicable sense of belonging.
Perhaps it was the aftereffects of eating little Kano, he thought idly, and his mind was drawn back to that night of teaching outside the school.
Then, I realized a problem.
He seemed to be the invited party.
If calculated in this way, is he the one enjoying or the one being enjoyed...
How strange.
Kato Yusuke was thinking and asked casually: "Kano-chan, how much is the price of the apartment you live in now?"
"...Hey, why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Kanoko Hasumi, who was behind the island, raised her face in confusion.
"Nothing, just asking."
"Just ask, what is it for?" She tilted her head very cutely, inadvertently revealing her indifferent maturity and slightly girlish feeling.
Kato Yusuke looked at her with admiration and smiled: "In order to know how much money I need to earn to support you."
"Strange, I don't seem to hear the humor in this sentence...?"
"Just think of it as being teased by me and satisfy my curiosity."
"Who is curious about this kind of thing?"
"How can anyone be outside for the first time?"
"——!"
Hasashi Kanoko's face puffed up in anger, her beautiful big eyes stared straight at him with a hint of embarrassment and anger.
Upon seeing this, Kato Yusuke simply raised his hands and apologized.
The two looked at each other for a while.
Hasumi Kanoko sighed quietly and said resentfully: "Obviously you were the one who refused to let me go back later... I couldn't even attend the morning meeting the next day."
"I'm sorry, that incident and the last joke were all my fault, so forgive me?"
"...I don't mean to blame you."
She held the hem of her denim skirt tightly, lowered her eyes and slightly opened her red lips.
"...I'm very...happy."
Even though there was only an island between the two parties, the sound made by the person involved was still so subtle that no one could hear it.
"Huh? What did you say...?"
After Kato Yusuke replied without hesitation, Hasumi Kanoko raised her face to face him again.
Looking carefully, her cheeks were slightly red and her lips were tightly closed.
"I mean……"
Hasumi Kanoko grabbed her left elbow with her right hand, and while avoiding her eyes, she slowly said: "I like it very much, you treat me like that."
oh……
Kato Yusuke's mind moved slightly and he said meaningfully: "Kano-chan, H."
"…!
"
She responded to him with shy and angry eyes, and then slowly turned tender.
"Maybe, but I only do this to one person."
"...Are you teasing me?"
Hasumi Kanoko chuckled, "Why don't you take a guess~?"
Kato Yusuke shrugged and made no comment on the straight shot. He just relaxed and leaned on the back of the seat.
After laughing for a while, the water in the electric kettle started to boil.
Hasumi Kanoko said as she poured water and brewed coffee: "As for the question you just asked, I don't know why you asked it, but the price of this apartment is 100 million yen."
“As expected of Chiyoda District, it’s quite expensive.”
"Yeah~ Based on my salary, if I don't eat or drink for fifteen years, I can probably buy this place. I'll give you coffee~"
"Thanks."
Kato Yusuke silently calculated in his mind and asked: "Kano-chan's annual salary is 6.5 million?"
"Yes~ It should be said that this is also the annual salary of most high school teachers.
Private schools like Toyosaki Academy have salaries much higher than public schools.…
Although teachers in private schools are not civil servants, they will receive corresponding overtime pay when they work overtime, and they will earn more."
"So at the level of director Yamashiro, how much is the annual salary?"
"If you ask other teachers, I can't answer you, but Director Yamashiro..."
Hasumi Kanoko thought about it for a moment, and then said:
"He once drank too much at a faculty gathering and accidentally revealed his salary. I remember it was 7.3 million, right?"
Kato Yusuke nodded thoughtfully and replied: "The gap is not that small."
"After all, he is the grade director, and Teacher Yamashiro is 50 years old? In addition, Japanese high schools basically have a salary system based on seniority, so teachers with more seniority have higher salaries~"
"According to this, Kano-chan and Katsu Nakamura seem to be at a greater disadvantage?"
"It was like this in the beginning, but because of your relationship, Mr. Nakamura, he has received special allowances three times in a row this year, right?
For example, being elected as the student council president, winning the national high school track and field competition, and winning the sports festival.
The school has more or less rewards for these, and it is also an incentive to test the teacher's personal quality.
If you can't do that, you can only get basic salary and overtime pay, but that's also your own problem."
"That's it." Kato Yusuke couldn't help but nodded, and a detailed explanation made him fully understand the income standards of Japanese teachers.
Hasumi Kanoko looked at his reaction and asked, "Has your curiosity been satisfied?"
"Ah, I'm satisfied, thank you."
"You're welcome, then it's my turn next."
"Um?"
"What do you want to do when you ask about this? Do you plan to be a teacher in the future?"
"Why do you think so?"
"According to the trend of the topic, most people will think so, right?"
"Teacher..."
Kato Yusuke took a sip of coffee, moistened his throat, and replied: "I am also a teacher now."
"Huh?"
"If I remember correctly, we talked about me being a professional cartoonist last time. Have you forgotten?"
After he reminded her like this, Hasumi Kanoko also remembered it, and couldn't help but shake her head with a bit of laughter. She didn't care about the difference and just followed what he said.
"Then, should I call you Mr. Kato?"
Kato Yusuke stared at her for a while, then smiled and shook his head in denial.
"No, that's the wrong name."
"Isn't it right...?"
"Normally, in this profession, one would add teacher after the pen name."
"Is that so..."
"Normally, people in the editorial department will call me Mr. Fujimotosuki, and that's the pen name I use now."
"Fujimotoshu... Fujimotoshu-sensei, what a strange name... Huh?"
Hassan Kanoko frowned slightly and murmured: "I seem to have heard this name somewhere..."
"Don't you have anything to do today?"
"...what happened today?"
Kato Yusuke nodded lightly and said bluntly: "Although this is not a good thing for me to say...but I am the manga author mentioned by the news media."
The moment the words blurted out, the room suddenly fell into silence.
Hasumi Kanoko's eyes were dull, and her brain's thinking ability was also at a standstill.
She opened her mouth slightly in surprise, and her whole body stood still as if suspended in time.
After three seconds, those eyes gradually regained focus.
The person involved hurriedly closed his mouth, as if he felt it was a bit unsightly, but he didn't know what to say.
Kato Yusuke thought for a while, then pushed his mug over with his fingertips and said, "Drink some coffee to calm down first?"
Hasumi Kanoko took a small breath, quietly took the mug, and took two sips of the warm coffee.
As the warmth spread in her chest, she finally relaxed a little, then looked to the opposite side with a pair of surprised eyes, and said slowly:
"That's it...it turns out to be you..."
"As promised in advance, I never thought of hiding it from you, and I didn't avoid you when I was working before. You have also seen the above content."
Kato Yusuke sighed as he spoke, his tone becoming a little helpless.
"But...even if this is the case, Kano-chan doesn't seem to notice it. You are really too slow."
