357, Nameless Fire(1/2)
Kyouya made a mistake and was temporarily taken away by the police.
Mr. Lin was responsible for going to the police station to take notes. Asami and Santo took the victim's girl to the hospital, and the others returned to the association together.
Serizawa Yu who stayed at home finally felt relieved when she saw everyone returned safely, and then she felt happy for the arrival of Kato Yusuke.
Chiaki Shinjo, who met his "son-in-law" for the first time, wanted to take this opportunity to observe him more, but his daughter rushed him to buy ingredients with Xiao Xi.
"Room 201", Shinjoka's room.
Kato Yusuke set foot here for the first time in a long time.
The furnishings in the house are basically the same as before, except for a few more girls' items and some things for yoga.
There was a faint aroma of Laim floating in the air, which was exactly the same as the smell of the owner.
By the way, Sayu also followed in very familiarly.
Because of this, Xintiao Xiang brewed three cups of coffee.
The three of them sat down around the low table in the center.
While adding milk and sugar to her coffee, Shinjoka took the initiative to explain the ins and outs of the incident where Kyouya lost her mouth.
It is said that the imprisoned girl called the association for help because she saw Muzi's video and out of yearning for freedom and change.
Next to him, Sayu carefully selected his words and added them.
"Actually, that girl said that she was taken in by Kyouya Shiguchi once half a year ago.
She stayed at that man's house for a week, but the man later kicked her out because he was afraid of being discovered by his girlfriend.
Until they met by chance on the street last month, the man took her home again."
Kato Yusuke took a sip of coffee and asked calmly: "She volunteered?"
"No, uh... maybe she did it voluntarily at first, but the girl clearly expressed her unwillingness later, and in the end, the man still violated her.
Even when I rushed in, the man was pushing the girl to the ground."
Sayu frowned as he said this, as if recalling the scene an hour ago, with obvious disgust on his face.
"How old is she?"
"Hmm, it seems to be the same as Yusuke?"
Kato Yusuke narrowed his eyes slightly.
If the girl did not lie, then regardless of whether the person concerned was voluntary or not, a crime has been committed.
According to Japanese law, Kyouya who makes a mistake will probably face a prison sentence of 3 to 7 years. The question is how to make his punishment more serious...
Kato Yusuke was drinking coffee, his eyes flashing with unexplained deep thoughts, which made him appear a little unfathomable.
Sayu secretly looked at his face, then moved her gaze to Shinjoka, twisting her body every now and then.
"What about that, Xiaoxiang, can you let Yusuke and I talk alone next...?"
Shinjoka paused for a moment, and his first reaction was to look at the boy beside him.
Kato Yusuke frowned, looked at Sayu up and down for a moment, and finally nodded.
Seeing this, Shinjoka said nothing, took a book from the bedside table and left the room.
The house suddenly fell silent.
It was clear that he was the one who made the request, but Sayu didn't know what to say, so he just stood there holding a mug and worrying.
In contrast, Kato Yusuke was not in a hurry.
He stared at her emotionlessly, his knuckled hands placed on the black mug, and even his fingertips were shining brightly under the dazzling sunlight.
Sayu thought about it for a while and reluctantly found an opening statement.
"Um, Yusuke! Haven't I reported to you on the affairs of the association for a while? You just happened to be here today, why don't I give you a good introduction?"
Kato Yusuke was silent for a moment, "Do you think this kind of thing has any meaning?"
"Eh... I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"When Xiao Xi took in Muzi, it was considered a special situation. Since you took over, it has become common to take in problem children."
Sayu groaned and defended without confidence.
"This...maybe it is true from the results, but we also take in a lot of ordinary girls? As for those with special circumstances...it just happened by chance."
"There are so many amazing girls in Tokyo. No matter who you help, it's the same. It's enough for you to choose some of them who are in ordinary situations, and don't do anything beyond your abilities."
"That's not the case! Everyone in the association has done a great job, and compared to ordinary girls, it is the girls with serious problems who need help more."
Kato Yusuke frowned and refuted stiffly.
"The prerequisite for helping others is to protect your own safety, rather than deliberately looking for difficult problems like you. When did the association start to take on the task of catching criminals?"
Sayu choked at the question, lowered his eyes guiltily, and took a few sips of coffee while holding the cup.
"But...it's true that problem children make up the majority of this group of girls, right?"
"So?" Kato Yusuke put one hand on the table and tapped his finger bones on the table.
"Are you saying that if you encounter a situation like today again next time, you will still go up and act like a hero? It doesn't matter if you want to die yourself, but please don't implicate others."
Sayu was speechless again and said hesitantly:
"...What happened today is my fault, but Yusuke, isn't your original intention of establishing the association to help others? I just want to implement this."
Kato Yusuke stared at her, and after a few seconds, he finally said in disgust: "That's just your idea."
"You actually said it was my idea, otherwise what would you be doing?"
"My purpose is to find a job for Xiao Xi and Xitiao, that's all."
"Eh?"
Sayu opened her eyes slightly, not expecting such an answer at all.
She was still wondering if this was a joke, but Kato Yusuke suddenly spoke tiredly.
"Forget it, there's nothing to say between us."
"...Yusuke?"
Sayu tilted her head in bewilderment, and a basket full of words came to her lips, only these two words came to light.
Kato Yusuke stood up slowly and said in a formulaic tone: "From today on, you don't have to report anything about the association to us."
Sayu was stunned.
There were no windows in the house because it had just rained. The airtightness caused the room to lose air circulation, amplifying the sultry heat in summer.
The streets at noon were full of noise, passing through the thin walls, making the quiet here extremely chaotic.
Amidst the sound like muddy water, her heartbeat sounded particularly distinct.
The young man's voice was gentle and calm. He must have thought about it for a long time before blurting it out so appropriately.
But even if the long sword is decorated with the softest sword spikes, the edge will still hurt.
Sayu heard from it the meaning of getting together and getting together easily.
She was stunned for a moment and lowered her eyelashes, not that surprised.
The people in front of her had always treated her coldly, and she was almost used to it by now.
She looked up at him with great restraint and asked in a relaxed manner: "Are you ready to leave? Xiao Xi still wants to keep you for dinner."
Kato Yusuke's attitude was polite and distant, "I know what to do."
The sunlight filtered in from the window sill behind him and shone into her eyes.
In order to keep the relaxed atmosphere, Sayu smiled and said: "That's it, then I'll give it to you..."
"No need." Kato Yusuke narrowed his eyes and interrupted her with a slightly lower voice, "We are not the people each other is looking for. Let's move on."
Sayu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her mouth to joke: "Why do you say it as if you are breaking up? We are obviously not dating."
Kato Yusuke looked straight ahead, pursed his lower lip and said, "My girlfriend has misunderstood, and I don't plan to continue like this."
Sayu stayed quiet.
The amber eyes were like a dead lake, no matter how the light and shadow moved, there was no ripple at all.
She looked at his tense side face and felt a sour feeling in her nose.
I just wanted to make a joke at first, but I didn't expect that my eyes would suddenly feel hot. The ease of getting together and breaking up was like a thin layer of transparent sugar coating, which was instantly revealed by the salty and bitter taste.
——Wet and embarrassed.
She lowered her head in a hurry and took several sips of coffee. A few drops of lingering tears fell into the cup, making the coffee salty and bitter.
"That's it." Kato Yusuke seemed too lazy to stand still and said a hasty goodbye before striding towards the entrance.
His figure quickly disappeared behind the door.
Sayu paused for a moment, and began to feel a sore nose. Finally, he weakly lowered his body and lowered his head.
