Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 59 It’s done
On Saturday morning, Izumi Sakai, who was resting at home for a rare time, hugged her mother and asked carefully, "Mom, my boyfriend asked me to live with him in Shinjuku so that we can be closer to work. What do you think?"

"What? You don't live at home?"

Izumi Sakai's mother, Akiko Kamachi, was already furious because her daughter often stayed out all night. When she heard that her eldest daughter was moving out, she was furious.

Oops!

Izumi Sakai didn't expect her mother to react so strongly, and quickly added, "Well, it's not necessary for me to go out. I mainly consider that it's too tiring for you and dad to pick me up every day. Since you don't agree, then I won't go."

"There's no need for this."

Just then, the father, who had been watching the show, stood up.

He flipped through the newspaper and said slowly, "Sachiko is old enough to have her own life. There's nothing wrong with living in Shinjuku. Besides, it's tiring for you and your daughter to take the train back and forth like this. It's better for her to live near the company."

"Humph, you're the only one who knows how to pretend to be a good person."

After Kamachi Akiko angrily retorted to her husband, she took her daughter's hand and sighed, "Hey, if you want, just move over there. It will be much easier."

Kamachi Akiko's anger came and went quickly. After she finished talking to her daughter, she immediately regretted it.

My daughter’s daily tram commute is really hard. She has to get up at 6:12 in the morning and often doesn’t get home until o’clock at night. She seriously doesn’t get enough sleep.

If my daughter lived in Shinjuku, she would have more time to rest and wouldn't be so tired every day.

But at the end, Kamachi Akiko couldn't help but nag with worry: "I just don't know what your boyfriend is like. It would be great if we could meet him."

The father, Masao Kamachi, put down the newspaper and sat up straight: "I feel that Sachiko's boyfriend should be quite good. You can see the happiness in your daughter's eyes."

"Besides, what's the big deal if we meet once? What can we see from each other in one meeting? If you know how to disguise, you won't be able to see anything."

"Haha, that's not necessarily true. Didn't the Sato family's children reveal their bad behavior when they met their parents?"

Although most people will try their best to be decent when meeting their girlfriend or boyfriend's parents, there are all kinds of birds in the forest, and there are still some weird ones who will reveal their ugly side in front of the other party's parents.

For example, they conduct loyalty tests, deliberately avoid talking to the other party's parents, or act arrogantly and look down on the other party's family conditions.

If you encounter this situation, it depends on the character of the person involved.

Some will break up in anger, while others will swallow their anger in silence.

"That's bizarre. I've only seen this one case in all these years."

"Indeed, that person is too stupid."

As the conversation progressed, the topic of the family meeting turned to the neighbors' homes. Izumi Sakai's parents seemed to have forgotten about her and were gossiping about the neighbors with great interest.

"Cough cough."

Hearing her mother getting more and more excited, Izumi Sakai had to cough a few times to interrupt her: "Mom, do you mean to say that you agree?"

"Of course I agree. Didn't you hear everything?"

Kamachi Akiko, who was having a great time, rolled her eyes at her daughter, somewhat unhappy that she interrupted her.

It's rare that my husband would take the initiative to tell me gossip, and I want to tell him everything in one breath.

At this time, Keiko, the second daughter of the Kamachi family, who had always maintained a transparent attitude, smiled and hugged her elder sister and asked: "Onai-chan, is your brother-in-law very rich? He actually let you live with him in Shinjuku."

"Well, he should be considered rich. He works for Matsumoto Manufacturing, the company that recently developed the trolley suitcase. As for more specific details, I'm not sure, I haven't asked."

Izumi Sakai thought about her boyfriend's big room and the money they spent on shopping and food, and realized belatedly that her boyfriend was really extraordinary.

Could he really be the legendary rich and noble young man?
Sakai Izumi was thinking wildly.

"Oh, is that the suitcase you brought home?"

"Yes, that's it." "I've seen the advertisement for this company. It should be a big company."

Mother Akiko Kamachi stroked her hair and recalled the comparison advertisement of the couple pulling a suitcase.

"That's the one."

Izumi Sakai nodded, and then whispered, "Takeshita-san is in the same class as me, so his salary shouldn't be high. But that's not necessarily the case. In order to compete with giants like banks, this company may give graduates higher salaries and benefits."

"You can't guess anything by guessing like this."

Kachi Keiko sweetly pulled her sister and said coquettishly: "Onei-chan, why don't you just ask your brother-in-law?"

"Yes, you should ask. If a woman meets the wrong man, her life will be over."

Mother Kamachi Akiko agreed, and then said to her father, "Don't you think so, old man?"

"Yes, yes, this must be understood clearly."

What else could Masao Kamachi say but to nod in agreement.

"I'll ask on Monday."

"Why are you waiting for Monday? Go call and ask now."

Akiko Kamachi pushed her eldest daughter and was a little speechless about her daughter's naivety.

"Oh."

At this time, Izumi Sakai had no idea what to do. After hearing what her family said, she obediently walked to the phone and dialed her boyfriend's home.

"Hello, is this Sachiko?"

"Well, it's me."

"Hey, why did you call me this morning? What's the matter?"

Normally, the two of them would chat on the phone for long hours at night. This kind of call during the day on a weekend was rare among the few, and Masato Takeshita couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Yes, it's my parents. They want to know what job you do now."

"Is that so? I am currently a senior executive at Matsumoto Manufacturing. As for more specific work, I'll take you to the company one day and you'll understand."

Masato Takeshita was worried that if he revealed his identity directly, his girlfriend's family would think he was unreliable and full of nonsense, so he simply made his position vague.

In this way, even if his father-in-law and mother-in-law are skeptical, they will not think he is bragging as if he tells the truth directly.

Becoming the president of a well-known company before graduating from college is too dreamy for an ordinary family.

"Okay, then, bye!"

"Bye-Bye!"

As soon as Izumi Sakai hung up the phone, her mother couldn't wait to ask, "How is it, did you make it clear?"

"Masato said he is a senior executive of Matsumoto Manufacturing. As for the more specific position, he plans to take me to the company to have a look, and then I will know."

After hearing this, Kamachi Akiko frowned and said nothing more.

However, Kamachi Keiko said with a smile: "As expected of my brother-in-law, he is so romantic."

She didn't know what her sister was thinking, but she was extremely excited.
