In this way, the "TYPE-MOON" studio, which suffered from tax audits, collectively entered the work-from-home mode.
By the time Sayu heard the news from Shinjoka, it was already a week later.
She was angry and anxious about this, and got angry with Shinjoka for the first time.
"Liar! How could this happen? Why didn't you tell me about this before, Xiaoxiang-??"
Shinjoka was not angry when she heard her resentful questioning, and replied calmly with a lollipop in her mouth:
"What's the use of telling you? We can't help the president anyway, so we might as well not cause trouble."
"But! Even if that's the case...I...well--" Sayu bit her lower lip reluctantly, feeling at a loss for words.
In fact, she understood what Shinjoka said, but it was a little difficult to accept emotionally.
After all, there is never a shortage of girls around that person.
From the gentle Megumi, to the beautiful Shiyu with a good figure, to the delicate-looking Eiri, and the dignified and quiet teacher Hasumi...
There are as many people as possible who care about Kato Yusuke, but what does it matter to her "ex" who doesn't want to see her?
I'm afraid that even this wishful concern at this moment will be found boring and unnecessary by the other party...?
She couldn't help but laugh at herself when she thought of this, and then suddenly fell silent.
Nijoka, who was beside him, noticed her depression, pressed her temples with a headache, and sighed softly in thought.
"...If you ask me, don't think about this, right? Didn't you also contact other charitable organizations to hold an auction next month? Can you get this done first?"
"——!"
Sha Qi was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Then he recalled the matter belatedly and his expression became serious.
Just as Shinjoka said, the "OSY" Association is about to hold a charity auction party for public welfare, and the time is scheduled for mid-November.
In addition to these public welfare organizations, those who will participate will also include people from many other fields.
In fact, Sayu initially just wanted to unite with a few familiar charity organizations to promote his family, and did not think about how big the event should be.
However, this matter was somehow found out by her brother Ogiwara Kazusa, who then sponsored the event without any explanation and changed the location of the auction to a high-end hotel.
Sayu also protested against this, feeling that it was too high-profile, but his brother pushed him back——
"Is this what mother meant-?
She believes that what you are currently doing, Sayu, is very meaningful, especially for parents of single-parent families. It may make them pay more attention to the parent-child relationship, thereby reducing the number of minors running away from home.
I heard that my mother has also started a vote within the PTA and plans to bring some colleagues to attend your activities, so if you have any opinions, please go to her~"
Ogiwara Kazusa was suppressing laughter the whole time when he said these words, looking calm and confident that he would win, and Sayu really couldn't find any reason to shirk, so he agreed to it over and over again.
——This is not the end yet.
When she later informed her relatives and friends of the news, Asami immediately raised her hands in agreement and expressed her excitement that she would bring her father, a congressman, to support the association.
Taking this as an opportunity, others rushed to participate.
First, the “Bond Project” offered to help;
Secondly, Professor Yamazaki also said that he would invite several university professors to attend the event;
In the end, even the Nitta reporter from TV Tokyo said he would bring some media friends over.
Sayu just stared in awe as the level of the event was constantly being raised, and it even felt unreal.
Obviously she initially just wanted to follow other organizations to increase the popularity of the "OSY" association, but unexpectedly everyone just raised this activity to an exaggerated level!
By the time she finally came to her senses, everyone had already finalized everything.
Sayu couldn't help but feel a little confused, but she couldn't openly dampen everyone's enthusiasm, so she could only choose to cooperate.
And since the event is going to be grand and grand, there are naturally many things that need to be prepared in all aspects.
Things like drawing up invitation lists, preparing auction materials, decorating the venue, and writing speeches all require their own hands.
Even though everyone will share the work together, the burden placed on everyone is still heavy, so all members of the OSY Association have been very busy recently.
Because of this, Sayu failed to pay attention to Kato Yusuke's affairs at the first time.
She asked Shinjoka with some grievance: "...Xiaoxiang, you talk so easily, don't you care about Yusuke's affairs?"
Shinjoka looked at her sideways, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and started talking slowly.
"I have nothing to do with you, Miss S. Compared to this, how long are you going to be lazy? You will also speak on behalf of the association at the auction. Does it really matter if you are so leisurely?"
"I---"
Sayu opened his mouth, but was immediately speechless by the question, while Shinjoka continued.
"I've already said that it's not your turn or mine to worry about the president's affairs. Miss S, you just need to concentrate on doing the things of the association well. That's what the president wants to see."
After a brief tangle, Sayu puffed up her cheeks uneasily and murmured softly: "...Xiaoxiang, you always act so mature, are you the same in front of Yusuke?"
Shinjoka knew that she was still a little awkward as a girl, and had no intention of talking about these inappropriate topics, but instead frowned in displeasure.
"Who do you think is responsible for this? I don't work as a nanny for you because I like it. You, the person in charge of the association, should reflect on yourself, right?"
"Eh? Nanny——?" Sayu tilted her head in confusion, "What does this mean...?"
"That's what it means literally." Shinjoka shook his head and said, "Anyway, let's stop talking here. I have to go to the dance studio next. Miss S, you can just work without any worries."
Because it was time to go out, she did not continue chatting with Sayu, packed her bag and left.
After stopping a taxi downstairs in the apartment building and explaining her destination to the driver, Shinjoka idly took out her cell phone and sent a LINE to Kato Yusuke.
[Good morning, President (≧≦)~~Are you busy now? Is there anything you need me to do today? 】
After waiting for about five minutes, the other party sent a "no" expression with a serious word, and then nothing more happened.
Shintiao Xiang was not discouraged by this, and tapped on the screen with a pair of white hands, tirelessly replying to the past.
[That’s it~~~Well, then I understand! If the president needs anything, you can call me at any time, I’ll be here~]
As if he didn't understand her hint, the boy typed coldly and asked: "How is the association doing recently?"
[New Tiaoxiang: Thanks to the president, everything is fine here. Everyone is busy preparing for the auction next month, so there is nothing to worry about. 】
[Yusuke Kato: What’s the progress on Yaguchi Kyouya’s case? 】
[Shinjoka: Well, that matter has basically been handled. The seven women have accepted our conditions and agreed to come to court.]
Not long after her message was sent, a bank arrival notification was received on her phone, followed closely by this message -
[Yusuke Kato: Thank you for your hard work. Remember to notify me the day before the case goes to trial. You don’t have to be present that day.]
Shinjoka was stunned for a moment when she saw the news, and then immediately understood that Kato Yusuke didn't want to leave any clues, so he didn't want her to appear at the court hearing.
She responded with an expression of obedient salute, and then wrote the words "President, I miss you so much~" out of character.
When things came to a close, she felt something was wrong. Her fingers stopped pressing the send button and she couldn't press it, as if there was some kind of force stopping her.
A look of confusion appeared in Shinjoka's eyes.
Obviously she could say bolder things naturally before, but now she feels ashamed for some reason and always feels very awkward.
She hesitated and retracted her finger, poked at the screen, made certain changes to the "joke" sentence, and finally pressed send.
[Shinjoka: By the way, President, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you. Miss S is very concerned about the situation in the studio. Is there anything President needs me to convey to you? 】
Like a stone sinking into the sea, Kato Yusuke did not reply for a long time.
Shintiao Xiang didn't dare to rush, so he just waited and waited, and finally received an inhumane message:
——[No, don’t do unnecessary things.]
She couldn't help but sigh, then murmured to herself and looked out the window.
"It's not that I won't help you, Miss S..."
…
the other side.
Kato Yusuke was not idle either, but was invited to a manor near the Imperial Palace.
The driver who brought him here said nothing and disappeared after handing him over to the servant here. The latter led him to a certain tatami reception room.
There, Kato Yusuke saw two strange yet familiar faces.
One of them is Prosecutor Kondo who invited him here, and the other is a middle-aged man who has his eyes closed and is concentrating.
The two stood and sat together, a simple scene that easily showed the difference in status.
The man sitting there was tall and slender, with long black hair neatly styled. There was not even a single gap in the traditional dark green kimono on his body, and he looked calm and serious.
"——Master, your guests have arrived." The servant responsible for leading Kato Yusuke here bowed his head in greeting, and then left quietly.
As if he didn't hear the servant's words, the middle-aged man didn't open his eyes or speak. He just folded his hands in front of his chest and didn't know what he was thinking.
The master didn't say anything, and Kondo Kazuto, who was standing behind, didn't dare to make a sound. He looked like he was always ready for orders, even if he saw Kato Yusuke, he deliberately chose to turn a blind eye.
Kato Yusuke looked at the two of them alternately, thinking several times in his mind, then ignored the seemingly non-existent opposition in the air and took a step forward.
"Good morning, Chairman Nakano, I have taken the liberty of coming to disturb you."
As if reacting to this title, Nakano Yukihira moved his brows slightly, and finally slowly opened his eyes. A pair of majestic and cold pupils looked straight at Kato Yusuke, looking up and down.
Kondo Kazuto next to him also raised his head with a frown, and was about to scold him for his rude attitude, but suddenly heard this sentence——
"From Ryoko's point of view, you should call me uncle." Nakano Yukihira pointed out: "After all, my daughter seems to have been disturbing your house for a long time."
When Kondo Kazuto heard this, his body trembled violently, and the words on his lips got stuck in his throat, and he could no longer say them.
Nakano Yukihei's ordinary words set off a storm in his heart.
He hurriedly lowered his head, trying his best to appear inconspicuous.
He secretly raised his eyelids and saw Kato Yusuke also looked slightly startled, and then immediately denied it.
"——Chairman, you have misunderstood. Nakano-senpai did live temporarily in our previous studio, but that house has long been vacated, and she is usually the only one who uses it."
Nakano Yukihei said calmly: "Ryoko has never stayed overnight in the home of a member of the opposite sex, and you are still the first one."
"Thank you for saying that. I think it's all because senior sister trusts me."
"Inspiring Liangzi to make that choice, do you know the consequences of doing so?"
"To tell you the truth, I had some vague guesses before, and now I have finally confirmed them." Kato Yusuke said and glanced at Kondo Kazuto behind him to show that he understood.
Nakano Yukihei ordered: "Tell Ryoko that as long as she goes home before the end of today, I can treat it as nothing happened."
Kato Yusuke shook his head, "Sorry, I can't respond to your request. You should ask my senior sister for her opinion."
Nakano Yukihira raised his eyebrows and stared at him with an unsmiling expression. His expression gradually turned cold, and he exuded an air of calmness and authority.
"Gudu..." Kondo Kazuto swallowed unconsciously and felt his throat tightening inexplicably.
As if noticing his psychological changes, or for some other reason, Nakano Yukihira suddenly said: "Kondo-kun, you have worked hard today, you should go back first."
Kondo Kazuto was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then immediately lowered his head and responded:
"Ah, okay! Mr. Nakano, you are serious. These small things are nothing. If you have anything to do, just tell us at any time. I won't disturb you anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, the prosecutor, who was still polite in the "TYPE-MOON" studio, bowed respectfully and exited the room.
