Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home

   Chapter 121 What is a friend's current crime?

   "Writing guidance?? Yusuke will do it??"

  Dole—!

  The kitchen knife made a loud noise on the chopping board.

   "Wow, scared my hair to death!"

  Mami, who was studying in the living room, trembled reflexively and turned her head, "Kato-san, Sayu-san, what's wrong with you?"

   "Ah, nothing."

   Sayu waved his hands again and again.

   "Really, then call me if you have something."

  Mami turned around and continued her studies.

   "So what's the matter? Why did Yusuke guide that Kasumi Shiko-sensei?"

The    girl stared at her with a scrutiny.

   There is one part of surprise, two parts of curiosity, and seven parts of questioning.

  's charming little face bulged slightly, and her skin looked a little delicate under the light.

   Plus the posture of looking up at an angle of 45 degrees.

   is more like a kiss than an interrogation.

   So Kato Yusuke responded unceremoniously.

   "Mmmm...!"

   Amber eyes widened slightly.

  Sweet breath lingers on the lips.

   He just tasted like this - tasting each other's taste. His eyes were calm, as if he didn't know that there was a third party in the room.

   So the girl had to roll her eyes desperately, trying to remind him of this.

   It's just that the young man obviously doesn't care, his eyes like the night sky shone with playfulness, and his sturdy arms wrapped around his slender waist, making them stick close to each other.

   On the tiptoes of the girl standing up, the cute slippers bought from Don Quixote are about to fall.

   Upward along the graceful arch of the foot, smooth and clean - the jade-like calf is a little useless.

  Sayu, who was troubled by this kind of "friends and crime" emotions, seemed to have two villains, one black and one white, in his head.

  The devil-like one told her: You are just at home with your boyfriend, there is nothing wrong.

The    angel-like one told her: It would be too embarrassing to be seen by Mami, it would be wrong.

only…

  Can you really refuse Yusuke? - Sayu, who was half-hanging on the other side, couldn't help but think so.

   (I always feel that... just thinking about it is annoying.)

   So, the shoving that he wanted to refuse and greet turned into a hug around the other's neck.

  The gate is also gently opened.

   While observing Mami with her back to this side, she carefully cooperated with the villain.

   looks very lovable.

  …

   Maybe tens of seconds, maybe a few minutes.

  “…Boom.”

  The inaudible sound disappeared into the air.

   "So Yusuke." The girl licked her lips, "What's the situation?"

   In Sayu's chaotic light breathing, Kato Yusuke smiled and rubbed the other's head.

   "Well, according to the other party, because of the lack of love experience, he wanted me to help with reference to the plot and provide some inspiration. The reward is quite generous."

   Hearing his words, Sayu dropped his lips as if he couldn't accept it, "How generous is that reward?"

   Kato Yusuke raised four fingers.

   Sayu frowned slightly, "All day?"

   He nodded first, then shook his head.

   "It's only during the school lunch break. If there is any change, the other party will notify you in advance."

   After thinking about the afternoon break, Sayu widened her eyes in surprise.

   "There are so many, is that girl rich?"

   Kato Yusuke nodded, "It seems that the first brush and reprint of "Love Metronome" has exceeded 300,000. If this momentum can be maintained, the final sales may reach one million copies."

   "...Well, I don't quite understand. But it does sound pretty cool."

   After thinking for a while, Sayu tilted his head and asked.

   "So it's just a guide? Did the girl ask for anything else?"

When    said that, the girl's soft and tender face was rarely vigilant and looked very cute.

   Kato Yusuke couldn't help laughing, and shook his head in denial.

  Seeing this, Sayu relaxed.

   "Understood, that's fine."

   Then he continued to process the ingredients on the chopping board and added a sentence.

   "Today's dinner has bitter gourd stir-fry."

   Hearing this, Kato Yusuke frowned subconsciously, and then returned to his original state.

"Oh, I see."

   He nodded in response, and his tone had no emotional ups and downs.

   "Then I'm going to review too."

   After saying that, he turned and left.

   Hearing the movement behind her, a smile spread on the face of the girl, and she said something in a low voice while sticking out her tongue.

"Fool…"

  's tone was as light as humming a song.

  …

   and the other side.

   "Have you met Mr. Erromanga? And he's still your apprentice?"

   It took a few minutes to digest the shocking news.

  The first two things that came to Machida Yuanzi’s mind were—

  1. Is the other party handsome?

  2. Is it possible to reach a business cooperation with the other party? Designed character and scene illustrations for some of the company's other works.

  The former is out of concern for the writer in charge of oneself, which is for private purposes; the latter is out of consideration for the company he works for, which is for the public.

  As a capable woman, Machida Yuanko directly expressed these two questions.

   also complained: "Why didn't you tell me when we were in Hehe City?"

   "Huh... Who knows, maybe I forgot."

  The girl lying in the bathtub spoke to the phone nonchalantly.

   "The first question, compared to appearance, should you be more valued as an artist or your painting skills?"

   "Second question, in fact, I recently hired him as a guidance consultant."

   "As the most powerful work of the Undead River Bookstore right now, I think the main focus should be on "Metronome in Love". I don't think he could draw illustrations for others for a long time, so I'm sorry Miss Machida."

After   , there was a sudden silence on the other side of the phone.

   In what Shi Yu just said.

   appeared to be responding to both questions from the other side. But in fact, the girl is cleverly hiding her true heart, and at the same time throwing the problem back to the opposite side, it is really difficult.

  The seductive body was soaked in the hot water, before Shi Yu showed a triumphant smile...

   "That being said, shouldn't it be just Xiaoshi who wants to monopolize it?"

   Machida Yuanko, who was opposite, continued to speak.

   "Although Xiao Shi's speech just now was arrogant, but you were faced with the frustration of being cut in half before, and I clearly remembered it in my mind."

  “…”

   A brief silence.

   "...Miss Machida?"

   "What's wrong~? Xiaoshi."

   "Suddenly I feel that I can't submit the manuscript on time this month."

   "It's okay~ This kind of thing won't happen. Because then I will buy Xiaoshi's favorite snacks and come to your house a week in advance to urge the draft?"

   "... Obviously you are going to be promoted in the future?"

   "Ah, so you already know."

   Machida Yuanzi said leisurely: "That's why we need to consider the issue from the standpoint of the entire editorial department. I heard that there are many works that have not yet found a suitable artist."

   "...But Mr. Erromanga has only drawn this illustration so far, doesn't it match the type of other works?"

   "Well~ Although I still don't know how his performance in other genres works, but even at the current level, there are still several works to be fed, and he can also use the fame of Mr. Erromanga to drive sales~"

   This time, Shi Yu was silent for a longer time.

   In places where Machida Yuanko couldn't see, the girl's expression kept changing, just as she was about to say something.

   "Pfft...ahaha!"

   Laughter came from the other side of the phone.

   "Miss Machida...?"

   "Ah, sorry, sorry~ Ah, Xiao Shi's reaction was so cute, so I couldn't help but wanted to tease you."

   Machida Yuanzi said with a smile, "I'm not so anxious about Mr. Erromanga, so feel free to create Xiaoshi, and strive to become a writer whose debut works reach millions of sales!"

   Shi Yu, who raised her eyebrows, immediately dipped the part below her eyes into the water, creating a circle of ripples.

   In this confrontation, the girl who was still very immature had no suspense in the face of the editor's offensive.
