——"Concerning Kasumigaoka-senpai and Vice-President Kato, what do you want to do next, President?"
Faced with this inquiry, Kato Yusuke could not help but frown slightly and asked: "What do you mean?"
"Because~~~"
Shinjoka tilted her head and said, "The president seems to have recognized Kasumigaoka-senpai's identity now, right? Then do I have to cover up this matter in the future?"
According to what Kato Yusuke originally told her, it was to resolve the rumors surrounding both Megumi and Shiu at the same time.
However, now that Shiyu has become his real girlfriend, and Kato Yusuke does not intend to hide this from others, the plan must be adjusted.
She couldn't have just refuted the rumors about Kato Yusuke and Shiyu's relationship, and then the two of them were having sex on campus.
Even a fool wouldn't believe it.
Even if you are spreading rumors, you must be reasonable.
Compared with lies that are 10% true or 10% false, lies that are nine times true and one falsehood are more likely to confuse people's attention.
For example, it's like the arrangement she made for An Yilun.
The higher the truth content of a thing, the easier it is for people to believe its authenticity.
Kato Yusuke understood what she meant, so he said: "Senior Shiu, there is nothing you need to do. From now on, you just need to take good care of Megumi."
"That's it~ Well, I understand!"
"Is there any difficulty?"
"Hey, where is it? Why do you say that?"
"Nothing, just asking."
"Not at all~"
Shinjoka shook her head repeatedly and put her hands behind her back.
This kind of action highlights the plump mountain peaks more and strongly asserts its own sense of existence.
"To be honest, I haven't done anything. The really powerful person is the president."
She said: "Thanks to the big news you made, President, everyone's attention has been completely diverted now.
Even when Kasumigaoka-senpai kissed you that day, since she has become the president’s girlfriend, there is no need for me to do anything~
Thanks to these things, it’s become much easier for me to move around~ so it’s not difficult at all.”
"That's fine."
Kato Yusuke nodded slightly at this, and then asked: "If you want to move out of your home, how much money is left?"
"Eh? Let me think about it..."
Shintiao Xiang opened his fingers and started counting them.
"Because my plan is to move out when I save 1 million. The president gave me 600,000 before, so I still have about 400,000 to reach my goal~~"
"Only 400,000 is enough?"
"Yes~"
Kato Yusuke couldn't help but take a deep look at her and asked: "Where do you spend your daily life expenses? Where do they come from?"
"Huh?"
Shintiao Xiang was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.
"My mother will also give me pocket money for living expenses. I earn it by drinking with the uncles. Plus I am also saving money, so I can get by~"
She spoke in a relaxed manner, but her tone did not contain any true feelings.
It was as if she was deliberately trying to show off her nonchalant side. She wore a thick mask on her face.
Kato Yusuke looked at her face, and for no reason he remembered the way he looked when he first met Sayu.
Girls at that time were just like her, always hiding their true feelings behind their smiling faces.
"..."
Kato Yusuke nodded and did not express any opinion.
He just asked casually, and since he got the answer, there was no need to stay any longer.
So after saying "Go back", he prepared to return to the restaurant.
However, I just turned around...
"——Now, President."
Shinjoka called him from behind.
"There is one more thing I think it is necessary to tell you."
"What's the matter?" - Kato Yusuke asked with his eyes.
"President, you are not planning to give up on Vice President Kato, right?"
"...What do you want to say?"
"As I just said, the same thing applies to Sawamura-san. Although the president is fine this time, this balance cannot last forever, right?"
Ignoring his deeply furrowed brows, Shinjoka continued with hidden worry.
"As long as the president doesn't want to give up on Vice-President Kato, potential conflicts will continue to accumulate, and then on the last day, this will happen."
——Boom.
She drew a big circle in front of her body, as if there were fireworks blooming in her hands, expressing her meaning vividly.
"When that time comes—"
Shinjoka showed a somewhat mature smile and said to him: "President, you should understand, right? Everyone you care about will be involved and explode until nothing is left."
Kato Yusuke's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes darkened slightly.
Woohoo...
A sudden gust of wind blew through the narrow alley, sending out a sad whimper that filled my ears.
The sky was cut into long and thin pieces by the alleys, and the lights on the canopy were turned into a silent fiery red by the ancient light of the city, like chapped skin shining brightly against the setting sun.
Shinjoka smiled lightly without any malice, her light short hair swaying in front of her childlike yet vaguely mature face, giving the illusion of looking into the future through time.
"..."
Kato Yusuke pursed his slightly dry lips, unconsciously made a shallow swallowing motion, and said heavily:
"This is not something you should worry about. I have my own sense of discretion."
"That's it, that's good~"
Shinjoka nodded without thinking too much, his face returned to that pretentious and leisurely smile, and then he declared:
"Anyway, as the president's contract partner, I am the one who most hopes that the president can live longer.
Otherwise, I won’t be able to survive alone without my place of residence.”
As she spoke, she leaned forward with her hands behind her back, showed a big bright smile to Kato Yusuke, and said with a smile:
"In this sense, I love the president more than anyone else~!"
"..."
Kato Yusuke remained silent.
In the end, he just picked up another girl, but she was not the one he wanted.
The brief interlude passed like this.
Before arousing everyone's suspicion, the two returned to the restaurant one after another...
◇
After finishing the dinner party.
Kato Yusuke took Shiyu home on his bicycle as usual, and then returned to the apartment alone.
After worrying about the pantyhose in his pocket, he put the pair of clothes worn by the girl into a small box and put them in the closet.
I opened a can for the black cat who was looking after the house alone, cleaned up the fallen hair in the room, and cleaned the cat's litter box.
By the time all these tasks were completed, the bath water he started putting in when he got home was almost ready.
Since the day had been too long, even a lively person like him couldn't help but feel a little tired, so he decided to take a bath to relax.
Throw the clothes you need to wash into the washing machine, and then lie naked in the bathtub.
Hot water suddenly surged from all over his body, wrapping his body softly.
At this moment, a sense of spiritual comfort emerged spontaneously.
Even though the narrow bathtub did not allow him to fully extend his legs and could only bend his knees to soak in it, the feeling was still extremely comfortable.
It's like taking away all the fatigue from a long day's work.
Kato Yusuke closed his eyes in enjoyment, placed his hands lazily on the edge of the bathtub, and then called out: "System."
"..."
There was no response, but he knew that the other party should be able to hear him, so he continued to ask:
"What happened to the [Master of the Harem] task this afternoon? Explain it to me."
"...The limited time mission [Master of the Harem], the mission status is failed and not completed." The melodious electronic female voice read the script carefully.
There is obviously a cognitive bias between the two parties regarding the meaning of “explanation”.
In other words, they are not on the same channel.
Kato Yusuke "tsk" and then asked: "...Do you have any ideas to help girls get along harmoniously?"
Three bold characters appeared in my mind:
——[Open a harem?]
In addition to the inexplicable addition of square brackets, there is even a special effect like a highlight reminder around the font, which flashes in the mind like a light bulb that is constantly being turned on and off.
This nasty dog system!
Kato Yusuke suddenly glared and became angry.
"What are you excited about?"
Ever since.
bling bling~
Jingle bell~
——[Open a harem?]
This time, even the sound effects have been thoughtfully matched.
"…………"
Kato Yusuke was speechless for a while.
For some reason, the style of this system suddenly became less serious...
He took a deep breath, picked up a handful of hot water and slapped it on his face, and rubbed his face vigorously, trying to dispel the five-cent special effects that lingered in his mind.
At this time.
'Tip, you can redeem the skill [Hypnosis] through the store.'
'Explanation: Mrs. Sawamura, you don't want your daughter to know about us, right?'
Um---?????
Why is Sayuri Sawamura the protagonist used as the explanation?
This dog system, could it be that his surname is Cao??
This system eavesdropped on their last conversation at Sawamura's house! And it even used Sayuri Sawamura's jokes to cause trouble!
A series of thoughts popped up in Kato Yusuke's mind one after another.
Old man, subway, mobile phone.
If he was just speechless just now, now he no longer has any hope in this system.
It was obvious that whether the system was serious or deliberately trying to trick him, the other party had no intention of helping him solve his problems.
Reminiscing about the past.
From the day they were bound.
Although the system never forced him to do anything, it had no intention of being so generous as to give him gifts.
No matter what he wants to obtain, he must actively strive for it through action.
In this process, the system only plays a role as a booster and catalyst, and is basically laissez-faire in normal times.
So the idea of trying to get a solution from the system was wrong from the beginning.
Furthermore, there is never a standard answer in the world of feelings.
As for the [Hypnosis] skill that the system put forward out of spite, he had no intention of breaking the situation in that way.
Controlling the will of others to satisfy selfish desires...
Kato Yusuke believed that he could not use such evil methods against those who occupied an important position in his heart.
In this way, the random thoughts in my mind are over, no more thoughts.
He moved his body down and lay on his back in the bathtub, concentrating on enjoying the soaking process.
