Kato Yusuke doesn't know what happened in Kabukicho.
He is currently reading a novel and enjoying hot food.
Hasumi Kanoko carefully cooked a ginger-roasted pork set meal for him.
The thinly sliced pork tenderloin is topped with a layer of sauce, and is served with a small dollop of shredded ginger and a large amount of very finely shredded cabbage. Not only does the color combination look beautiful, but the taste is also excellent.
The tender and juicy pork and the refreshing cabbage form a wonderful combination, and the spicy and sweet ginger and onion shreds make your mouth water, and it tastes very good with rice.
Kato Yusuke ate one bite of meat and one bite of rice, and occasionally drank a few mouthfuls of hot miso soup, which was a great pleasure.
Hasumi Kanoko, who was sitting opposite, put her chin in her hands and looked at him with a smile, as if she was very satisfied with his delicious meal.
She had her hair tied up and wore a cool sling, showing off her fair skin and graceful collarbones. The denim shorts on her lower body were close to her thighs, and her slender legs were naturally close together, making her very beautiful.
"Keep Being You" by "Isyana Sarasvati" is playing on the Bluetooth speaker in the living room, and the low volume is just right for a night like this.
After continuing to look at the boy for a while, Hasumi Kanoko started the topic, "You rarely read novels. Is that novel interesting?"
"Hmm~"
Kato Yusuke pondered and looked away from the page and replied: "If you have to say it, it's just so-so, right?"
Faced with his unclear answer, Hasumi Kanoko said amusedly: "What does so-so mean?"
"I've just started to read and haven't read much, so it's hard to make an evaluation. So far, this novel uses a lot of Spring and Autumn writing techniques, and there are so many suspenses that it's confusing."
Kato Yusuke put the novel on the table and pushed it over. Seeing Kanoko, Hassan reached out to pick it up and turned the page curiously.
"Bog Man", Ryuunosuke Nagumo.
"In the summer of my second year in junior high school, I was killed by myself - Hitsuru Sagimori"
"This seems to be a suspense novel, right? Why are you suddenly interested in this kind of subject?"
"Well……"
Kato Yusuke pinched some shredded cabbage with a tachyon, chewed it like a "kazikazi", and depressedly recounted the story about how Nakamura Katsuji asked him to run errands.
Hasumi Kanoko chuckled when she heard this, "Ah haha, I see, but why did you borrow the book back? Is it because you were bored to kill time?"
"Well, that's pretty much it... Its setting adopts the famous "Swamp Man" experiment, which I think is a bit interesting."
Kato Yusuke said, briefly explaining the Swamp Man experiment.
This is a thought experiment proposed by the philosopher Donald Davidson. It is a self-certifying proposition that I use to think about "what am I?"
In a word, its content is similar to the real and fake Monkey King in "Journey to the West".
While chatting, he also finished his dinner.
Kato Yusuke put down the kuaizi with satisfaction and said: "I've eaten, thank you for the treat."
"It's disrespectful to have nothing to eat and drink."
Hasumi Kanoko smiled and waved her hands, took the dishes away from him and took them to the kitchen, then returned to the dining table with a pair of couple-style mugs.
"Kato-kun, your coffee is made without sugar or milk."
"Oh, thank you."
Kato Yusuke took a sip of coffee to clear his mouth, his brows naturally relaxed, and he praised: "This coffee is brewed very well, and the concentration is just right."
"Thank you~ As long as you like it. Is dinner to your liking?"
"Well, I'm very full and satisfied."
"Really~~?"
Hasumi Kanoko looked at him with crooked eyebrows, stretched out her right foot and gently put it on his seat, playfully tapped his pubic area, and smiled.
"——Then next, let's switch to Satisfaction's side?"
"...?"
Kato Yusuke raised his eyebrows and remained silent.
Although it is true that people tend to have wild thoughts after having a good meal and wine, and he will indeed stay with the other party today, but it is still a bit inappropriate to agree directly like this. There is always a feeling of impatience.
He is not a carbon-based creature full of carnal desires. Compared with vulgar indulgence, he actually prefers a smooth process.
It must be mentioned that this is definitely not hypocrisy. (serious)
Mainly because of Yinglili's incident, he deeply reflected and felt that he should respect the people around him more and should not just care about his own selfishness.
Seeing that he was still reluctant to speak, Hasumi Kanoko got under the table like a prank, stuck her head out from between his legs, and tilted her head to look up at him.
"If you don't say anything, I'll just take it as your acquiescence?"
Kato Yusuke took a sip of coffee and asked knowingly: "... What is the default?"
Ren saw Kanoko pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "You just ate so deliciously, I want it too."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head, took out the refreshing mint candy from him, opened the package and put it into her mouth, eating it with relish.
Kato Yusuke couldn't help but frown, flicked her forehead with his finger, and deliberately scolded her with a straight face: "Thief."
When Hassan saw Kanoko, she let out a dissatisfied sound and bit the mint candy in her mouth in front of him, specifically to provoke him.
The coffee in Kato Yusuke's hand shook and almost spilled.
"Gurgling, grunting."
He hurriedly took two sips of the nearly overflowing coffee, took a deep breath, sat lazily leaning against the back of his chair, and looked at the sky speechlessly.
There is a saying that life is like 〇〇. If you can’t resist, it’s better to try to enjoy it.
Kato Yusuke put down his mug and took out his mobile phone to play with it.
Not long after, the Bluetooth speaker in the living room started playing new music.
"Body Shots" by "Kaci Battaglia / Ludacris".
He turned up the volume slightly so that the music could be heard more clearly in the restaurant.
The sudden change of style made Hasumi Kanoko slightly startled, and she looked at someone in confusion. The young man's eyes were deep, and the look he looked down at was somewhat meaningful.
Along with the ambiguous breathing, the female lead singer's voice like a little wild cat invaded the ears.
“Fresh 21.
to the club.
My girls cut the line,cause above.”
The singing voice is unique, slightly pleasing, and full of tension and confidence.
Hasumi Kanoko rarely listens to this kind of electronic hip-hop music, but the rhythm is so catchy that she subconsciously devotes part of her mind to listening.
Then--
“Uh huh whip it up’
Lick it up’ su.
Uh huh’ drink it up.”
The highly suggestive lyrics made her widen her eyes in shock, and she saw a smirk hidden in the boy's eyes, his thin lips slightly opened, and he followed the male Rappar's mouth and sang a sentence——
"Ohh I thi~"
When Ren saw Kanoko, his heart trembled, and his cheeks couldn't help but get hot. He was so flustered by the ruthless energy that he was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to react.
She has been a good girl since she was a child, well-educated and considerate. She has never done anything out of the ordinary. This is the first time in her life that she has been treated with such contempt, which makes her a little angry.
Regardless of her mood at the moment, the female lead singer's sexy singing continued——
“Doing shots at the bar.
Body shots at the bar.
My girls they wanna try it,s like we’re rockstars.”
Kato Yusuke looked at her casually, patted her head gently like a pet, and chuckled.
"——Be good, eat slowly, don't choke."
His voice was a little inaudible in the passionate music, but it still penetrated her ears, and it was a bit sultry.
Hasumi Kanoko only felt that something in her heart was touched, and her slight resistance dissipated like ice and snow. Her eyes were filled with awe, and she bowed her head in submission.
“Top alix it up mix it up.
Got me laying doull my shirt up.
Baby get the whipped cream.
Feeli dream.
Got me at the bar’ doing body shots now~”
In the dynamic melody, Hasumi Kanoko seemed to have broken the restraints in her heart, shaking her head to the rhythm and humming words.
This kind of contrast really stimulates the eyeballs and makes people's hearts beat.
Kato Yusuke supported his cheek with one hand, a few strands of silver hair hanging down his forehead, floating between the heroic eyebrows, casting mottled light and shadow under the light.
He stretched out his other hand, caressing Kanoko Hasumi's hair, face, and shoulders, and then moved the strap on her shoulders aside, the temperature in his eyes gradually rising.
They say there is no gentleman in a hurry.
Since life forced him to become a carbon-based creature, he had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.
Kato Yusuke thought so, picked up his beloved and placed him on the dining table, enjoying the dessert after the meal.
The so-called beautiful scenery and delicious food are nothing more than this.
…
later--
The two of them took a shower together, put on clean pajamas, and then went to bed.
Seeing Kanoko resting her head on his arm, Hassan muttered with a grudge:
"Now I kind of agree with Mr. Nakamura's approach on exam day. If you listen to this kind of messy song, someone should teach you a lesson."
This is a bit far-fetched.
Not to mention that Nakamura Masaru used the topic to instruct him to run errands, which was completely false for public benefit.
Even if we take a step back, he was targeted because he played touch games with Ying Lili, and it had nothing to do with music or anything like that.
Faced with this unreasonable accusation, Kato Yusuke just smiled and listened, without revealing her boldness and enthusiasm, and changed the focus.
"Seriously, Kano-chan, why did you call me here today? It shouldn't be just to eat, right?"
"...What do you mean, you don't want to come to my place?"
"Don't think about it. I'm very happy that you are willing to cook for me, but you don't let me do anything except stay at home and watch TV with you and eat. It feels a bit weird."
Seeing Kanoko's eyes twinkling, Ren lowered her eyes with a guilty conscience.
This matter actually starts from last night.
According to the plan, Kato Yusuke was supposed to have a date with Shiyu today instead of showing up at her place.
——But she received a LINE from Shiyu in the early morning.
The other party said that she was not feeling well and could not go out, but she could not let someone run around alone, lest outsiders take advantage of it, so she hoped that she could help take over.
As for why Shiyu felt unwell, the members in the group basically understood it tacitly, and she even teased each other about it.
Because of this, she would take Yusuke Kato home immediately after get off work, which obviously aroused the suspicion of the person involved.
Hasumi Kanoko quickly went through the whole situation in her mind, cleared her throat and said:
"...Well, I want to talk to you about something. Didn't you ask me to find a fighting training camp for Yin Teng and the three of them before? I found one with a good reputation and have already placed them in it.
"
"Oh, what then?"
"Eh...what then?"
Kato Yusuke looked puzzled, "Is this what you want to say?"
"Can't we just make a phone call for this kind of thing?" - Hasumi Kanoko saw this meaning in his eyes, couldn't help but be speechless, and tried hard to find a new topic.
"Yes, yes -"
She was speechless and said:
"Actually, I want to talk to you about the association... Regarding Miss Sayu, I found that she is not only mature, but also very active, making people feel very reliable."
Kato Yusuke was stunned for a moment, and then he frowned and said disdainfully: "...What's reliable? It's just a bomb. If you have no enthusiasm, something will happen sooner or later."
Hasumi Kanoko blinked and asked insinuatingly: "...it's rare to hear such a harsh comment from your mouth. Don't you want to see her develop the association?"
Kato Yusuke frowned deeper and continued:
"I didn't say that, I was just discussing the matter.
There are many unstable factors in the group of gods treating girls, and it cannot be done casually.
Those people wandering the streets are nothing, but the problem is that there are also examples of complex situations, such as those who are used and controlled by others, and such people will be very troublesome."
"In other words..." Hasumi Kanoko was thoughtful, "Don't you want her to rescue those who may be in danger?"
"It's not her, it's them, especially Xiao Xi. If she encounters any danger, I can't explain it to Aunt Mina."
Kato Yusuke's words were so stern that people couldn't distinguish the truth from the lies.
"Then, will you take the initiative to help them eliminate the danger?"
"Don't use such strange words. I'm not a savior. Rather than eliminating the danger, I advise them not to do anything beyond their capabilities from the beginning."
"You are surprisingly strict with Sayu-san..."
"What I mean is that they only need to help those girls who are in simple situations, rather than accepting everyone who comes for expansion and causing trouble."
"In that case, wouldn't it be better if you didn't agree with Sayu-san to join the association? If you said it directly, I don't think Shinjou-san would disobey you face to face."
"——"
Kato Yusuke was stunned and speechless for a moment.
When Ren saw Kanozi, he sighed secretly, stretched out his hand to smooth his brow, pretended that nothing happened, and said in a gentle tone:
"Anyway, I understand what you are thinking. I will talk to them later."
No response, as if by default.
After a long time, the young man said something vaguely.
"What are we talking about? Just ask them directly in the name of the board of directors."
When Ren saw Kanoko giving him a blank look, she said angrily: "Then wouldn't it be more effective if you just come forward directly?"
Kato Yusuke was silent for a moment: "...I will not deal with that girl unless necessary."
"..."
Ren saw Kanoko opened her mouth, and after several hesitations, she finally did not ask further questions.
It's not that she doesn't want to, but it's that Shiyu seemed to have failed yesterday and she was not sure that she would succeed.
