After Yoshida was settled, Yusuke didn't stay at his house for long and quickly returned to his room.
I glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that the hands were already pointing to 10:30 pm.
Kato Yusuke pondered deeply and took out his mobile phone, using Line to send a message to Kano-chan, briefly mentioning that Yoshida might contact her later.
He didn't receive a reply after sending the message, which didn't surprise him.
Considering that the two of them had just talked on the phone forty minutes ago, there is a high probability that the other party is still taking a bath in the bathroom.
Affected by the Yoshida incident, Yusuke temporarily had no intention of continuing to work.
He saved the progress of the manuscript and turned off the pen display. With nothing to do, he simply studied this month's system store.
First up are the new products this month:
[Ten thousand healing medicine (regular version): After taking it, it can cure all injuries and illnesses except amputated limbs and mental disorders (100,000 points). 】
Basically, this is definitely the most valuable product the store has ever opened!
It's the words in the regular version that make people a little concerned.
Kato Yusuke asked the system about this, and the other party only gave this answer.
——"The items rewarded by the unique mission have certain special effects, and the ordinary version is the basic version."
‘Is this the difference between specific medicines and non-specific medicines, enhanced versions and weakened versions...?’
He was thinking a little uncertainly, but the system was cold and did not explain much.
Since I can't figure out the difference at the moment, I simply don't bother myself.
Although on the surface it seems that the skills refreshed this time are pretty good (except for the master-level Solan Dance), but if you think about it carefully, in fact, they don't have much effect on him.
In the end, Kato Yusuke only redeemed [Mastery Level Shooting] and upgraded his prerequisite skills.
Since the 20% discount was triggered, only 8,000 points were deducted for this upgrade.
Considering that the last upgrade failed to trigger the discount, he also confirmed one thing again.
That is, even if you have prerequisite skills, if you want to upgrade a certain skill to the master level, you will not be able to enjoy the discount.
Kato Yusuke doesn't mind this, after all, he currently has too many points to use up, so it doesn't matter even if there is no discount.
After redeeming the skills, the mobile phone on the table suddenly vibrated with a "buzz".
After pressing the answer button, Shin Tiao Xiang's voice immediately sounded from the receiver.
"An'an~ President??, have you rested?"
"Not yet, what's wrong?"
"That's it~ Then I have something I want to talk to the president about. Can we come and talk?"
Kato Yusuke said yes, and the other party asked in an energetic tone:
"Hey~ Regarding our private communication in Salia yesterday, does the president still remember~?"
"Which paragraph are you referring to?"
"It's just a matter of the president, Kasumigaoka-senpai and Vice-President Kato."
"...Does this have anything to do with what you want to say?"
Shinjou Xiang chuckled: "Well, that's right, I later thought of a measure and thought I should tell the president~"...
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Well, that's actually the case... If you don't want to give up, President, I suggest you take their bodies as soon as possible.
Furthermore, if you, President, are willing to let them have a baby, then there won’t be any problems~?”
——What kind of crooked idea is this?
Kato Yusuke suddenly frowned and lowered his voice seriously: "This is not something you should interfere with, and don't speculate on them with this kind of thinking."
"Ahem...did you really refuse? Although this is expected, it is still a pity. Obviously, if you, President, are more cruel, you can get over it once and for all."
"...You just need to do your part well, and stop probing me."
"Is that so~ I see... I finally know the status of Kasumigaoka-senpai and Vice-President Kato in the president's heart."
Shinjoka sighed softly and dropped the topic with interest.
"Okay, President, just pretend you didn't hear what you just said.
I know~ Anyway, President, you wouldn’t do that to them, right? I’m sorry, I said something I shouldn’t have said, and I won’t do it next time.”
Kato Yusuke said nothing, but simply asked: "...Do you have anything else to do?"
"Ah, so to speak...hey~ President, can I also join your studio?"
"Give me a reason."
"Because you want to help the president?"
"What can you do?"
"Hey~~Well, of course I will do whatever the president tells me~?"
Kato Yusuke was noncommittal and replied: "This reason is not convincing enough."
This can be considered a direct rejection.
When he heard what he said, Shinjoka just said "That's it" with a little regret, but didn't bother much, and then said simply:
"Anyway, I understand~ So if the president has any problems that need to be dealt with in the future, you can feel free to leave them to me? Because I will never betray the president."
After finishing speaking, she ended the call neatly and clearly.
Kato Yusuke put down his phone and thought about it for a while.
Although he had just rejected the suggestion given by Shinjoka, he was not completely worried about the situation around him.
He sat quietly on the swivel chair, staring blankly at the system interface that had not yet been closed in front of him.
At a certain moment, it was as if something went wrong.
Kato Yusuke raised his hand and pressed on the void directly in front of him.
[Successfully redeemed 1 charm attribute point, 50,000 points will be deducted. 】
With a special effect like water waves, his personal panel changed in the next second.
[Character: Kato Yusuke (Intruder of Time and Space)]
(Explanation: Time has left traces on you. About ten years have been deducted from your life, along with certain negative effects.)
[Age: 16 years old]
[Stamina: 8]
[Intelligence: 8]
【Charm:8】
(Evaluation: Tokyo Handsome Guy.)
[Items: U disk, Qi and blood medicine (18 pills), tracker (available 2 times)]
Kato Yusuke got up and went to the bathroom, looking up and down and left and right at himself in the mirror.
Summary: He's a handsome guy, but he doesn't seem to have changed much from before.
He is still the same person, with white hair, who misses those days of cannibalism in Tokyo...
He tapped his head with his knuckles to shake the strange thoughts out of his mind.
Maybe 1 point of charm point doesn't have much effect, and what about that "Tokyo Handsome Guy" evaluation?
To put it bluntly, I grew up in Saitama Prefecture.
Logically speaking, Tokyo is something Saitama longs to surpass one day.
With this doubt in mind, Kato Yusuke slowly returned to the living room.
What a coincidence, the cell phone on the table started vibrating again and again.
The caller was Okano, and the other party initiated a call with him on Line.
He sat down on the carpet next to the bed and pressed the answer button.
Delicate skin with rosy luster immediately comes into view.
The beautiful D cup wrapped under the white bath towel is swaying gently, and the surrounding blurred background is also constantly changing.
I can only see his chest, but not his person.
The person involved seemed to be walking and had not noticed that the call had been connected.
Kato Yusuke didn't mean to disturb him, he just wanted to wait to see when the other party would find out, and by the way, he could enjoy the beautiful scenery from all angles.
Unfortunately, the black cat suddenly jumped onto his lap restlessly and straightened up its upper limbs with a curious expression. While using its paws to pull at the screen, it thrust its big face in front of the camera and meowed.
"Eh~?"
As a result, a soft sigh came from the screen, as if he finally realized the changes here.
"Kato-san, what are you doing...?"
Kato Yusuke secretly thought that he was in trouble, picked up the black cat's neck with great disgust, lifted it aside, and then turned to the screen again.
"Sorry, my cat was causing trouble just now. Have you finished taking a bath?" He said to Kanoko Hasumi on the screen, but there was no response from the other party.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, the other party stared at him intently.
Four seconds, five seconds, six seconds, the other party never said a word.
——The charming face after taking a bath was facing the screen, with a pair of beautiful big eyes staring at him without blinking.
Kato Yusuke turned his face slightly to the side in a strange way, and couldn't help shouting again.
"Kano-chan?"
"…………"
Still no response.
For some reason, Hasumi Kanoko just looked at him motionless and made no other movements.
Her eyes shone slightly, as if they were covered with a layer of crystal glass, shining like Venus in the pure winter night sky.
Kato Yusuke suspected that his network was stuck, so he picked up his phone and shook it twice, and his face disappeared from the screen.
But before I could check anything, a somewhat anxious voice came from the screen.
"...Huh? Where have you been? Come back quickly~!"
Several big question marks popped up from Yusuke's head.
He frowned slightly and pointed the front camera of his phone at himself again...
Hasumi Kanoko, who had been furious just now, immediately calmed down and turned into that quiet beautiful girl again, just staring at him.
She has a pair of beautiful eyes and a beautiful smile on her face.
The gaze is both appreciative and looking at something beloved, full of the feeling of being unable to put it down...
Kato Yusuke felt a little uncomfortable when he was seen, and felt a little panicked for no reason.
Why did Xiao Kano give him the feeling at this moment that there was such a trace... like a succubus?
In order to break this uncomfortable stalemate, he clicked his tongue and asked three times: "I said, Kano-chan...?"
"??~"
Ignore him again...
Unable to bear it, Kato Yusuke deliberately put on a pair of dead fish eyes, and with an attitude as if he was about to quarrel, he asked viciously: "What are you looking at?"
"……Well!"
This time, Hasumi Kanoko actually reacted.
Her slender eyelashes blinked slightly, her eyes showed a very passionate color, and like a shy and innocent girl, she gently pressed a hand on her chest.
Then he said in a trembling voice: "...don't, don't look at me like this, you will... make me a little... strange..."
"?????"
In silence, that cheek became redder and redder, as if on fire.
Looking at her delicate expression, which was like Xizi holding her heart, Kato Yusuke felt his brain was deprived of oxygen.
He looked at himself in the picture in bewilderment. Although his dead fish eyes were not ugly, he even looked like a handsome guy because of his good looks...
But! This look is definitely not handsome.
Something is wrong, something is definitely wrong with Kano-chan today.
He couldn't help but think about it, and when he was about to ask the other person whether his head was not clear due to drinking, he suddenly heard this sentence...
"It's strange...why do you look so good today...?"
"——!"
Like lightning flashing in the morning, a silver snake suddenly cut through my mind.
——That little charm attribute point just added!
As the answer to the mystery was revealed in my mind, a sense of absurdity and uninhibitedness followed.
Kato Yusuke sat up straight in fear and asked cautiously to the phone:
"...What do you mean by this? Did you drink too much at the party, so your head is not clear?"
"What are you talking about? Didn't I tell you that I only drank one glass of beer?"
Hasumi Kanoko puffed her cheeks slightly, poked the screen gently with her finger, and murmured: "Compared to that, what did you, a little rascal, do today...?"
"You may not believe it, but I didn't do anything, and I just came back from the drunk uncle's house next door."
"...What uncle?"
"This is the one I just sent to you, a very nice uncle who is also my neighbor."
In order to prevent the strange atmosphere from continuing, Kato Yusuke tried his best to change the topic.
"Anyway, he may ask you about the studio later, or he may not. If he does, try to keep him here."
"That's it, um~ I understand."…
"You can look at the funds in the studio account and arrange it. If you see any house on the Internet that is suitable for a studio, you can make a decision directly."
"Ah... should I decide?"
Hasumi Kanoko asked hesitantly, while Yusuke nodded affirmatively.
"Of course, didn't you say that? Kano-chan will be my agent and also the president of the studio."
"...I haven't heard about that last thing. I think he should be the acting president, right?"
"Anyway, please take good care of me in the future, President."
When he said this, Hasumi Kanoko gave him a charming roll of her eyes, and then said in a faint tone:
"...Seriously, do you want to come to my place now?"
Kato Yusuke suddenly became alert and asked: "What are you going to do?"
"Well, don't you know a lot about Chinese poetry? So I'll give you a test~"
"What's the test...?"
""The waiter lifted up the weak girl." What is the next line of this poem?"
"...I'm not sure."
"Haha ~ lying."
"Nothing like that. Are you talking about Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow"? It's too long and I can't remember it clearly."
"Oh? Then what about the last sentence of "Yunyanhuayanjinbuyao"?" Kanoko Hasumi asked with a smile on her lips.
"...I don't know either." Kato Yusuke shook his head and replied.
Hasumi Kanoko continued to ask: "**The short-lived days are high?"
"Would you like to bathe in Huaqing Pool in the cold spring?"
"The hot spring water cleanses the skin."
"Cheng Huan has no time to attend the banquet?
"Spring comes from the spring outing and the night is dedicated to the night."
As if a sudden enlightenment occurred, someone suddenly became fluent in answering questions.
"Kato-san...?"
"What's up?"
Hasumi Kanoko narrowed her beautiful eyes and held her cheek lazily with one hand, "You only know the middle three sentences~"
Kato Yusuke nodded solemnly and replied with a sincere face: "What you said is absolutely true. I am ignorant and have limited talents."
"..."
"..."
The two of them were in a stalemate across the distance.
After more than ten seconds.
When Ren saw Kanoko, he sighed softly: "Okay, I won't eat you, so forget it today. Anyway, you can escape the first day of the junior high school, but you can't escape the fifteenth day."
"——Your words are completely inconsistent, aren't they!?"
"Haha~ Good night, little rascal."
"Well, you should go to bed early, Kano-chan."
Kato Yusuke smiled bitterly and hung up the phone...
