326, Transaction (Thanks to the leader of Leixin-chan!)
This is the apartment in Takadanobaba, room "201".
Sayu drank more than half of the green tea in one gulp, then placed the tea cup on the low table and let out a sigh of relief.
"...The above is all what I talked about with Yusuke and the others today."
Shinjoka and Serizawa Yu sat on both sides of the low table with different expressions.
"Um, that means...am I going to be Xiaoxiang and Miss Sayu's subordinate from now on?" Serizawa Yu pointed at herself and asked ignorantly.
Sayu was startled and waved her hands to deny it, "Ah, it's not like that, Ms. Serizawa. There is no distinction between superiors and subordinates between us. How could you think so?"
"But, didn't Miss Sayu just say that our association will have one executive director and five managers...?"
"Ah, that arrangement is so that each of us can focus on what we are good at. Miss Serizawa, just think of it as a business card to show to donors. Our relationship is still the same as usual."
"I see……"
Serizawa Yu nodded in understanding, while Shinjoka joked: "Idiot, you are a member of the president's family, who can treat you as a subordinate?"
"Yeah? Well, I think it's okay? If it's Xiaoxiang and Ms. Sayu, I don't mind being commanded by you, right?"
"Ahaha... Thank you for your recognition of me, Miss Serizawa, but I still hope to get along with you as a friend." Sayu smiled with a somewhat troubled smile.
She also wanted to earn some impression points from the other party, so naturally she didn't want to get into a wrong relationship with this sister-in-law, otherwise it would be difficult to get along with her in the future.
The three of them chatted for a few words and then returned to the topic.
Shinjoka gently tapped her calf, which was slightly sore from dance practice, and said with a slight sigh:
"Speaking of which, Miss S, you actually succeeded in convincing the president and the others. This is a bit surprising to me."
"Same feeling!" Serizawa Yu agreed, and then asked: "But, does not accepting money from Brother Yu mean that we have to run the association alone? Can we... really do it?"
"Well, after all, didn't Ms. S donate a lot of money before? Including our original ones, there are almost 28.4 million in the account now, right? It can still last for a long time."
"Ah, don't be so pessimistic!"
Sayu listened to their conversation and said anxiously: "What we should be thinking about here is how to develop and grow the association smoothly, instead of whether it can survive or not?"
"Even if you, Miss S, say so, what exactly are you going to do?"
"I plan to consult other similar organizations through email and social media, hoping that they can give us an opportunity to visit and learn."
"I see, that means learning from professionals, right?"
"Hmm~ Miss Shinjou, are you motivated yet?"
"No, that's impossible, right?"
“Answer in seconds??”
"What are you so surprised about..."
Shinjoka held her cheek with one hand and said without interest:
"To be honest, I have no interest in saving strangers or anything like that. I did it because the president asked me to do it. Now you are the one at the helm. Please forgive me for not having the motivation."
"This is really...a very negative attitude."
"Anyway, you can do whatever you want, Xiao Xi will help you. I have many arrangements here every day, so pass."
"this……"
Sayu didn't know what to say. She glanced at Serizawa Yu next to her. The other person gave her a helpless expression, which made her think.
She finally convinced Kato Yusuke to take over, but she didn't expect that something would happen to her family, which was really unexpected.
But Shintiao Xiang does have valid reasons.
Even if we put aside the affairs of the student union, the other party also has various training courses to attend, and it is an indisputable fact that they are too busy.
The most important thing is that she has no right to require the other party to cooperate with her work.
'Are you going to give up like this?'
Sayu thought about it while looking up to the side.
Shinjoka was half-leaning on the sofa, her hands gently massaging her leg muscles. The curves under her tight pants looked very soft, and underneath were the slender legs that made people imagine.
"I always feel that Ms. Shinjo's body looks better than before. Is this also the influence of dancing?"
"Huh? It's useless for you to praise me, right?"
"No, I really think so."
"Right."
This is too unmotivated...
Sayu couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then suddenly remembered the memory of being threatened by the other party, and sighed with some regret: "Miss Shinjo, you are really special."
"As I said, it's meaningless for you to praise me. I'm not interested in your ambitions."
"Although you keep saying that you are not interested, don't you regard Yusuke as more important than yourself?"
"...What do you want to say?"
"I just feel that even someone like Ms. Shinjo has an existence that she cherishes."
Shinjoka stopped what he was doing and looked slightly cold, "President, he is different."
"Well, I understand, because you like Yusuke, and we feel the same way." Sayu said, pressing her chest gently.
"..."
Shinjoka frowned slightly and did not answer.
"Then, although this is my unilateral request, I still want to ask Miss Shinjo to work with me to make the association a good one."
"Why should I help you?"
"Because this is what Yusuke hopes. His original intention of establishing this association is to help others? Just think of it as to achieve Yusuke's goal. Miss Shinjo, can you help me?"
A brief silence.
"……Are you serious?"
"of course!"
Sayu nimbly crawled to her side, his amber eyes staring at her unblinkingly, full of seriousness.
Shinjoka turned her face away awkwardly, and happened to meet Serizawa Yu's gaze. She saw that the other party was also looking at her eagerly, with her hands clasped in front of her face as a request.
"Tsk..."
She scratched her hair irritably and said disgustedly: "You are so troublesome... I can at most help out occasionally, and I won't take care of everything. Is this acceptable?"
"
able!""
Sayu and Serizawa Yu said in unison, the former even hugged her excitedly.
"Thank you, Miss Shinjo! Let us work hard together as partners in the future~~!"
As the soft touch closes up, a faint fragrance with the owner's body temperature penetrates into the nasal cavity, like a slightly sweet citrus.
The sudden physical contact made Shinjoka feel a little uncomfortable. She wanted to reach out and push Sayu away, but she didn't push. The other party's strength was even more amazing than she imagined.
"Hey, don't hug me so suddenly!"
"Don't say that, hehe~ Miss Shinjo smells so good, like a vanilla milkshake."
"Ah, Miss Sayu is so cunning, I want to hug Xiaoxiang too!"
"Then I'll make some room for you. Miss Serizawa, come quickly~"
"Here it comes~!"
Serizawa Yu agreed happily, and also came up to hug Shinjoka, murmuring happily: "Wow~ Xiaoxiang is so soft."
"I understand~~" Sayu chuckled, her shoulders shaking slightly.
The two of them exchanged their thoughts as if no one else was around, completely ignoring the ugly look on their master's face.
Shinjoka was about to get angry, but was inadvertently attracted by the pleasant sound of "ding dong", and followed the sound to look closely.
In the cinnabar bottle pendant hanging around Sayu's neck, a silver bead about the size of a soybean was rolling back and forth, giving off a faint mysterious luster.
"Hey...Miss S, what are you wearing around your neck?"
"Eh? You mean this?"
Sayu looked down at his neck, held up the pendant with his right hand, and asked with a smile: "How is it? Miss Shinjou, do you think it looks good?"
"Where did you get it?"
"Well, although you may not believe it...but it should be something Yusuke gave me."
"
President (Brother You)?”
"Liar?" Serizawa Yu opened her eyes in surprise, "Brother Yu gave this necklace to Miss Sayu? When!?"
"Ah, it's not what you think, Miss Serizawa. How should I put it? Actually, I'm not sure myself, I just have a vague feeling."
"ah……?"
Serizawa Yu looked confused.
Shintōka took the opportunity to break free and immediately asked: "Miss S, who can understand what you are saying? Please explain it in detail."
Sayu hesitated for a moment.
"Hmm...this is a bit complicated to explain.
When I first received it, I thought it was from my brother, but I found out later that it was not.
Based on what happened with the bankbook, I think there should be no one else except Yusuke who left this thing behind."
Serizawa Yu asked: "Could it be that someone else accidentally left it behind?"
"Won't."
Sayu shook his head.
"I'm a bit embarrassed to say it, but my mother and I don't usually interact with many people, and we rarely invite others to our home.
And this necklace was placed directly on my desk. If someone accidentally left it, I would definitely have an impression, but I didn't notice it until the next morning.
The most important thing is that I had closed the window the night before, but when I woke up in the morning, the window was open, and my room was on the second floor."
"--Eh?"
Serizawa Yuu was startled and blurted out without thinking:
"In other words, Miss Sayu thinks Brother Yu has sneaked into your room? And it's still on the second floor? How is this possible??"
"
No, if it’s the president (Yusuke)—eh?”
"Huh?"
The three people looked at each other, and the scene was completely silent.
Sayu and Shinjoka looked at each other, and the scenes that had happened on the TV station and the student union respectively appeared in their minds, and they seemed to have some realization.
Looking at their reactions, Serizawa Yu turned her head in confusion, "No, why are you so sure? Miss Sayu, have you ever asked Brother Yu to confirm this?"
"That person doesn't even want to admit the bankbook, so this kind of thing must be the same." Sayu said angrily.
"Let me ask you, Miss S." Shinjoka said in a deep voice: "What are the beads in that bottle?"
"Huh? I'm not sure about this, maybe it's just a decoration?"
"Decoration...?"
Shinjoka's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but think of the strange "candy" he had eaten. The fog in his mind cleared a little, and some clues gradually connected together.
Sayu looked at her expression and asked in confusion: "Miss Shinjou, what are you thinking about? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
"Ms. S, let's make a deal?"
"trade……?"
"That's right~ Don't you want to do a good job in the association? I can do my best to help you. As a condition, you must tell me everything about you and the president. You can't hide anything. Are you willing to accept it?
?"
Sayu couldn't help being stunned, but he immediately reacted and expressed his stance immediately——
