Chapter 517: The Brother Who Wants To Stuck My Sister Over
After leaving the hotel parking lot, the car quickly drove onto the road.
Soothing music was played quietly in the car, flowing lightly in the darkness.
After a short period of warm-up, the wind blowing from the air conditioner also became warmer, making a faint sound of "Woo~", as if echoing the breathing of a drunk cat.
The driver's car drove very steadily. Although the speed was not fast, there was no sudden start and stop. Instead, it was very smooth and experienced.
This reminded Kato Yusuke of himself.
He also had a driver's license in his previous life, but unfortunately he can no longer use it now.
According to legal regulations, in Japan, those who are over 16 years old can take the motorcycle driver's license test, and those who are 18 years old can take the ordinary driver's license test.
'If you have time, you can take the second round of the test first. It is said that you can get your driver's license in as little as two weeks.'
He thought aimlessly, stroking Akane Kurisaka's hair with one hand like a cat.
"By the way, Kato-kun."
Iori Namishima, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly said: "Maybe you don't think it's necessary, but there is something I think I should tell you."
"What's up?"
"Sister Zhu Yin and I are just ordinary superiors, subordinates and masters. Other than that, we have no other relationship."
He said: "Sister Zhu Yin doesn't like my cream type, and I don't have any bad thoughts about Sister Zhu Yin, so you can rest assured~"
Kato Yusuke's hand movements paused slightly, "...Why do you say this?"
"Hmm~~Although this may just be my illusion, my presence seems to make Kato-kun a little unhappy, so of course I must try my best to eliminate all misunderstandings."
"..."
Kato Yusuke did not reply, but the other party continued.
"In addition, I am a Machiavellian. I will go too far and divide people into two categories: "useful" and "unuseful". I am what people call a speculator."
A brief silence.
"You're surprisingly candid."
"After all, Kato-kun, you don't seem to like others making detours around you, so I think it's better to face you with this attitude."
Namishima Iori smiled and said, "Although I'm not as stubborn as Akane-san, Kato-kun also values me very much, so I really want to get along with you."
Kato Yusuke hummed without emotion.
As the old saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face.
Faced with this attitude of the other party, he was no longer reluctant.
Furthermore, since Akane Benisaka had already decided to make Iori Namishima his courier, and he could not overturn this decision, he had no choice but to accept it.
On this basis, keeping the relationship between them at a decent level will be better than fighting openly and secretly.
He could ignore Iori Namishima, but he had to consider Akane Akane Akasaka.
After all, the other party is not only Party A’s father, but also his person.
Maybe this relationship is a bit messy, but it can be more or less summed up by the description of the difference between inside and outside...
As if sensing something, Akane Benisaka, who was lying on her legs, also moved her body around.
Kato Yusuke instinctively looked down and met a pair of drunken, lazy eyes...
The faint light streamed in from outside the window, illuminating the almond-shaped face and rosy cheeks that were half drunk.
Brown-red hair as smooth as silk, slightly neutral eyebrows, a pair of charming eyes, a handsome nose, lips as delicate as rose petals...
Such a dark environment only added a certain color to her, which made Yusuke Kato stunned for a moment.
Just as he was about to say something, the other party waved his hand at him impatiently, as if he didn't want to be disturbed.
Then he turned his body towards him and continued to rest.
At the same time, Namishima Iori, who was sitting in front, also handed over a bottle of mineral water.
"Drink some water, Kato-kun."
"Okay, thank you."
Sigh...
"Let's take Sister Zhu Yin back to the apartment now. Kato-kun, what are your plans?"
This is to ask him if he wants to arrange other itineraries in the future.
"Nothing, I will go home directly."
"That's it~ I understand. To be honest, I thought you would stay and take care of Sister Zhu Yin."
"The amount she drank today is about the same as usual, and she hasn't reached the stage where she needs someone to accompany her... um——?"
"What's wrong?"
"...No, it's nothing."
Kato Yusuke looked towards his legs as he spoke, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
As if she was dissatisfied with his just answer, Akane Benisaka glared at him first, and then silently put her hand into his trousers pocket.
Without even asking for his opinion, the person involved took out the hangover mint candy openly, peeled off the outer shell and ate it.
Kato Yusuke's brows furrowed even deeper, and he couldn't help but want to reprimand this rude and inappropriate behavior, but after a moment of hesitation, he did not take action.
In the end, he just flicked her forehead with his finger and mouthed "thief".
The client raised an eyebrow at this, as if he thought he was stingy, and at the same time raised an index finger on the corner of his lips, making a silencing gesture to warn him to keep his mouth shut.
"Speak of it, Kato-kun."
Namishima Iori suddenly asked: "I heard from Sister Zhuyin that your studio seems to be recruiting a second original artist. Is this true?"
Guchi, Guchi.
Kato Yusuke took two sips of mineral water and replied belatedly: "...that's right."
"Excuse me for being rude." The other party then asked: "So, has Kato-kun found your favorite painter?"
"Well... not yet. What do you want to say? Cough."
"Oh~ Actually, I just wanted to ask, if Kato-kun hasn't found a suitable candidate yet, would you be willing to accept the recommendation?"
"Recommended... huh?"
"That's right, would you mind?"
"..."
Kato Yusuke frowned and said nothing, silently calculating the meaning.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Hashishima Iori didn't feel embarrassed and started talking to herself again.
"Of course, I have some selfish motives for bringing this up. To be honest, Kato-kun, my sister-in-law is also a slightly talented painter."
"Although she cannot be compared with a great painter like Kato-kun, to be fair, my sister-in-law definitely has greater potential and plasticity than most painters in the industry."…
"So if possible, can I ask her to learn from Kato-kun?"
At the end of the sentence, there was a hint of begging and entreaty in his tone.
Guchi, Guchi.
Kato Yusuke took a few sips of mineral water again, and then asked: "Well... let's not talk about anything else, but don't your family live in Nagoya?"
"Well, in fact, many painters are now doing online commissioning, including online office work, which is also very common."
"Um...so you want your sister to come to my place according to this pattern?"
"Yes."
"It's a pity... I personally prefer face-to-face communication than that kind of office mode."
"This is not a problem. I can bring her here every weekend and during holidays. That way I can maintain a certain limit of face-to-face communication, right?"
"...Based on our relationship, don't you think this request is a bit too abrupt?"
"I think it is more appropriate to use the word 'request' to describe it here than 'request'. Also, if Kato-kun is worried about leaks or other issues..."
Hashishima Iori confidently assured:
"Although I can't completely win your trust yet, my sister-in-law is actually a very simple and reliable child. You will know it once you meet her."
Kato Yusuke "Hi~" took a shallow breath and tried to concentrate, "...How is your sister's painting skills?"
"Well, can I tell the truth?"
"Lying will only cause you more trouble."
Iori Hashima laughed refreshingly and said vividly: "At least as a fan creator, my sister-in-law's qualifications are a bit too genius. This is my true opinion."
There was a gap of several beats.
"...Are you a girl-controller?" Kato Yusuke was speechless.
"No~ I'm just very confident about this matter. Of course, my sister-in-law still has many problems, and she doesn't think enough about this industry. This is also an indisputable fact."
"What you said is a bit contradictory."
"Not at all~" Namishima Iori shook her head.
"After all, potential does not equal strength. As long as there is a powerful teacher to polish my roommate... I can guarantee that her qualifications will never be inferior to that Eri Kashiwagi~"
"...You really dare to say that."
Kato Yusuke couldn't help but frown slightly, his expression became a little more serious, "Don't you know that Eiri is my number one original artist?"
"Of course I know this, including the level of Teacher Eri Kashiwagi and her own value in the fandom. I also know it clearly. But-"
Namishima Iori suddenly said: "That Kashiwagi Eri is already a finished product. Kato-kun should be very clear about this, right?"
The car suddenly fell into silence.
Kato Yusuke gently stroked a certain furry head and spoke after a short while.
"...As the new club representative, why don't you consider putting your sister in "rouge en rouge"?"
"To be honest, Kato-kun, this was my original plan, but now I have changed my mind. I think she can learn more from you."
As if he didn't care at all about his identity as a club representative, Iori Hashishima spoke in a meaningful way...
"In the final analysis, my sister-in-law's heart is not strong enough, and she has not been baptized by the outside world as a creator.
Therefore, I don’t want her to be exposed to a hostile Internet prematurely. Otherwise, if she collapses at sea... I can’t accept that kind of thing.”
"Basically... I just think you are too protective. After all, criticism is the food for growth."
"...Maybe so, but I still want her to create easily for another two or three years."
Kato Yusuke said bluntly: "But it's not easy here."
"Ahaha, I know this well. But as long as I'm at Kato-kun's place, my roommate can focus on her creation.
After all, everyone will instinctively focus on Kato-kun, so that my sister-in-law can grow up safely under your protection."
"...I see, do you want me to help your sister attract firepower?"
"That's right." Iori Namishima nodded confidently, admitting it without hesitation.
"After all, now that Sister Zhu Yin has retired, there is no better place than to be with a master painter like Kato-kun."
Kato Yusuke slowly let out a breath and murmured: "...You are indeed a girl lover."
"Oh, I personally think there's nothing wrong with having a sister-in-law? As long as it's not a taboo orthopedic relationship... in short -"
Seemingly sensing the looseness in his words, Hamishima Iori saw the right moment and said:
"It doesn't matter if it's a job like third original painting or coloring. My sister-in-law can do anything. Just think of it as adding a helper. I wonder if I can give her a chance?"
Kato Yusuke pondered for a moment: "...I can't listen to your side of the story alone."
After a pause, he continued: "I need to see her original painting skills with my own eyes. If it's just an interview opportunity, it doesn't matter."
"Of course there's no problem with that! Rather, I'm very grateful that Kato-kun is willing to do this!"
Namishima Iori nodded repeatedly, then seemed to think of something, calmed down his excitement slightly, and started speaking intentionally or unintentionally.
"By the way, by the way, my roommate is still a second-year junior high school student, and she is not Kato-kun's type. You can teach her as much as you like, but please don't do anything to her, okay?"
"...You are worrying too much. I don't have that kind of hobby. If you are worried, I can treat this conversation as if it never happened."
"Haha, don't be like this, don't be like this, I was just joking, please don't mind!"
In order to prevent the atmosphere from becoming cold, Hashishima Iori took advantage of the situation and changed the topic.
"Well, in short, I will arrange for my roommate to prepare for the interview as soon as possible. And... I don't know how Sister Zhu Yin will view this matter."
——What do you think?
Kato Yusuke gently poked someone's bulging cheek, also curious about this question.
Akane Benisaka, who was silently eavesdropping on their conversation, glared at him fiercely and gave him a look.
"Don't touch me, trash!"
Although he wasn't sure if that was what he meant, he still looked back.
"Do you think it's interesting to...listen secretly on this occasion?"
"You're looking for a fight, right?"
"Is it exciting?"
"I'm going to kill you!"
"Well...what to say."
Kato Yusuke couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and then said to Namishima Iori: "She may think that you are born to be rebellious and pick on others, right?"
"Uh, but if the target is Kato-kun...it shouldn't be considered cheating, right?"
"oh?"
"After all, Sister Zhu Yin loves you so much, I don't think she will regard this matter as a betrayal."
"Is it very deep...?"
"Of course~ Otherwise I wouldn't have been sent here to meet you. Kato-kun, aren't you conscious?"
"No, maybe..."
"In my opinion, there is no doubt about this, right?"
Iori Hashishima said with certainty: "After all, this is the first time I have seen that arrogant queen. It is incredible that she would treat someone with such an attitude."
"Is this so..."
Kato Yusuke narrowed his eyes slightly, looked out the window, and his breathing quietly became a little faster...
