Chapter 21: Sakurako's Plans

At dinner, Lin Xiu was preoccupied with the yellowtail boiled radish in front of him, but he was thinking about the phone call from Akemi during the day.

"What's the matter, Ernie sauce, isn't today's meal appetizing?"

"Ah...... No, it's just that I just remembered some things at work, and I was distracted for a while, sorry!"

Hearing Ling Na Chan's concerned inquiry, Lin Xiuyi hurriedly picked up the bowl and ate it in a big gulp, so as not to disappoint Ling Nai's hard work.

Seeing Lin Xiuyi's somewhat absent-minded expression, he thought of the phone call he heard by chance during the day. Sakurako's heart immediately understood what Lin Xiuyi was worried about.

She took a sip of the fish soup from the soup bowl, then picked up a tissue and gently wiped her cherry red lips. Then he took a deep breath and said with a forced smile.

"That...... I have something I would like to discuss with Mr. Hayashi and Rena-chan, and thanks to the care you have taken care of me these days, I have had the most difficult time since returning to Tokyo. Now, now that the things that bothered me have been completely solved, I want to ...... I'd better not stay here any longer!"

Hearing Sakurako's sudden plan, Lin Shuichi and Reina couldn't help but look at her in surprise.

"Huh?...... Why did you have to move out so suddenly?"

"Yes...... Sister Sakurako, is there something we didn't entertain?"

"There...... In fact, it was not for any special reason that this decision was made suddenly. Before I returned to Tokyo, I had made plans for my future life. It's just that I couldn't do it because of some things before, but now, the things that had put me in trouble have basically been solved smoothly with Mr. Lin's help. Although I suddenly said that I wanted to move away, I have lived here for a few days, and if I continue to stay here and disturb your life, my heart will be uneasy......"

Sakurako lowered her head, deliberately dodging the gaze from Lin Shuichi and Reina. These days, Sakurako lives under the same roof with them, which is really a very happy thing. Since her own mother's death, Sakurako has not felt such a warm feeling for a long time. However, today's phone call made Sakurako suddenly sober up. Although she was a little reluctant, she had to admit that she really didn't have any reason to stay here anymore.

"That...... If so, don't take it personally......"

Lin Xiuyi, who had already noticed a hint of strangeness, asked Sakurako with concern. Reminiscent of the scene of Sakurako standing behind her when she hung up the phone in a car shop during the day. Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but ask a little apologetically.

"There's really no other reason, actually...... I had already planned to run a café when I returned to Tokyo. I think...... Now is also the time for me to make my original wish come true. ”

Sakurako lowered her head, trying her best to dispel the doubts in her hearts with Lin Shuichi and Reina, so she told her about running a café that she had planned when she was in prison.

"That's right...... I'm really a little reluctant to Sister Sakurako!, however, since it's something that Sister Sakurako has planned a long time ago, we still have to fully support it, right, Oni-chan!"

Simple Reina didn't know that Sakurako actually had other reasons for leaving so suddenly. She smiled and turned her head to look at Lin Xiuyi, but found that Lin Xiuyi's face seemed to be a little wrong.

"But, you're moving out so suddenly, and you haven't found a place to live yet, have you?"

Lin Xiuyi asked Sakurako with concern.

"Hmm...... On the way back, I tried to ask Mr. Yuji about it, and Mr. Yuji said that there was a small office building for sale near Yoyogi Park. I inquired a little and the price seemed to be just within my budget. So, I'm going to buy it. Oh...... By the way, it is said that a cartoonist friend of Mr. Lin rented the second floor of the room as his studio......"

Hearing Sakurako's introduction, Reina suddenly became excited, she already knew that Sakurako was talking about where.

"I see, you're not talking about Miko-san's studio, Sakura-san, and if you really move somewhere, I can go to you at any time. It takes just over 20 minutes to get there from Akasaka on the Chiyoda Line, and it takes less than 40 minutes to transfer from Kichijoji to the Chuo Line and Yamanote Line. And Sister Miko is also very good, I think she will definitely enjoy being a neighbor with Sister Sakurako. ”

Reina said to Sakurako with an excited face, and when she heard Reina's happy tone, Sakurako slowly raised her head and responded to Reina with a smile:

"If that's the case, that's great. Just now I was thinking about what would happen to Reina's studies if I moved out. But I can't always live here for this reason. If Reina-chan doesn't think Yoyogi is too far away, you can still go over there and find my ...... at any time."

Sakurako turned her head sideways and said happily to Reina, after all, after so many days together, Sakurako and Reina have always liked each other's personalities. The two are very compatible in many ways.

"So...... Is it really that decision?"

I heard that Sakurako actually found a place, and she was still the landlord of Miko. Lin Xiuyi naturally didn't want to say anything, in fact, he knew very well in his heart that Sakurako probably heard the phone call between him and Akemi, so in order to make herself no longer embarrassed, so she said that she wanted to move away so suddenly. But how can I tell this kind of thing to my face? Anyway, it's not far from Yuzi, and everyone will still have the opportunity to meet often in the future.

Next, the dinner, which was originally a little dull because of the day's events, suddenly became as happy as usual under Sakurako's initiative to retreat. The conversation gradually shifted to Sakurako's café business.

"By the way, Sakurako-san, what kind of style are you going to design your café will not be similar to the old grandfather style of Cafe 1894 that Ernie chan likes, although the food there is delicious, but I really don't like the environment there. Oh, by the way, Sakurako-sama, if you're going to open a maid café, I'll call a friend I know to help you, and I think Sakura-sa will look very, very good if she wears a maid outfit, and business will be very good......"
