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

   Chapter 237 Three days and two nights (1)

   When it comes to doujinshi sales meetings, probably everyone in the industry has different views and meanings.

  Some people can stay up all night for a few days for mere interests, and waste their private life.

  Some people will use all the Obon and January holidays to participate in activities, and even give up their studies, employment or marriage, and let their lives sink to the point of worrying about their parents.

  Some people lose relationships by being too active, or they build nasty relationships.

   In addition, there are also people who use selling doujinshi as their main source of income, do not engage in other jobs and do not file taxes and gradually become professional.

   But for these people who are unique and strong in all aspects... The most important day is actually not the day of the event, but the period before the event when it is close to the deadline for submission of manuscripts.

  …

   That was after the shower.

   Kato Yusuke, who changed into a sports suit, came to Eiri's room.

In addition to the vast room filled with countless comic books, animation CDs, and video games, what caught his eye was the owner's third dress, which was different from his dinner uniform and his school uniform. .

   The golden double ponytail, which is usually fine enough to be compared with handicrafts, has not only been untied, but has even been in a disgusting state.

   On the blue eyes that were passed down by word of mouth among the boys on campus, there were a pair of thick glasses hanging on them, and they looked a bit vicious like a Q-version character picture with white eyes.

   Finally, I paired it with a green sports uniform with a top and bottom set with the emblem of "Shimamura Middle School" embroidered on the chest. The overall feeling is really indescribable.

   Even so, these factors did not affect Yusuke Kato, so he directly expressed his inner thoughts into words.

   "You're really sloppy..."

   As these low and indifferent words sounded in the room, the girl's eyes became sharper smoothly, and she showed a fighting stance without hesitation.

   "What? Do you have any complaints—!?"

   "No dissatisfaction at all..."

Facing Eri Ri's fierce expression, Yusuke Kato simply pulled a chair and sat down beside her, "It's just that the SSR character has been cut or even redone all of a sudden, don't worry about it. "

   "SSR role...?"

The girl was puzzled about this at first, and then her eyes widened in the next second, her anger reached the threshold at a speed visible to the naked eye: "Wait, wait?! Did I say you are deliberately looking for trouble! ?"

   "No, I'm just staying true to my heart."

   Kato Yusuke replied indifferently, looking at the items on the other side's table for a while, and took out an airbag comb from the pile of sketches and brushes scattered around and handed it over.

   "Anyway, you'd better take care of your hair first, and explain the situation to me by the way."

   Although she looked disgusted at this, Eiri still snatched the comb away. Accompanied by the rustling sound of the comb passing through the hair, the girl snorted coquettishly.

   "...Well, to put it simply, I still have some works that have not been completed."

"Um."

   "But because the notice has been posted on the website."

"Um."

   "So I have to try to catch up with this exhibition again. Do you understand...?"

   "That is to say, the works you intend to exhibit?"

   Kato Yusuke asked suspiciously: "Isn't I already finished the "Lower Level 2" book you gave me before?"

   "Well, that's done."

  Eri nodded slightly, trying to keep her tone very calm, "So what I'm talking about here is something else."

   "…what else do you mean?"

   ""Tolove Dream Book", "The Prism of That Snow (the heroine is undecided, "Love Metronome True Only Book", roughly these three..."

   A brief silence.

   "...Do you know what date it is now? Eiri."

   "August...the seventh day."

   "So what time does Xia Comi start?"

   "August...15th."

   "Well, that's correct."

Kato Yusuke affirmed without a smile, and then changed his words: "Then counting the day before the opening, in less than a week, you didn't tell me anything about the new movie before you released three movies at once. What is the reason for the plan, can you explain it to me specifically?"

The tone of   's words was extremely genial, but hearing it in Eiri's ears made her body tremble suddenly, and she made a cute, almost inaudible "Yah" sound.

   then pretended to be calm while stroking his hair, while clearing his throat and said: "...No problem, as long as you are around, I'll be able to catch up.

In addition to "Prism of That Snow", "Love Metronome True Weiben" actually only has the drawing and coloring parts left, and I also have an idea for "Tolove Dream Book", just draw it... There is not much to round up, it hurts! "

   Before he could finish speaking, a big hand that turned into a knife was slashed above his head, causing the girl to let out a cry of pain instinctively, and the momentum she had accumulated was broken in an instant.

  After combing for a period of time, the hair that was just disheveled to the point of messiness has now become neat, and has regained the suppleness of the past, and it feels very comfortable to touch.

  It's a pity that someone did not pity on it with his own palm, making it messy again, even more so than before.

   "Wait, wait a minute! What are you doing!? It's been a long time since I've combed it, and you're not allowed to touch it—!"

   Kato Yusuke, who was very mad at this answer despite Yingri's repeated complaints and obstructions, just continued to retaliate against the "plush toy" in his hand in annoyance.

"Let's not mention your completely unnecessary trust. Aren't two of the three books completely unwritten? And the heroine of one of them is undecided, which means that she doesn't even have any ideas for painting, right? How can people help you?

  Take ten thousand steps back, even if I want to help you, what should the printing house do? Don't you have to send the manuscript a week in advance to print it? "

   After thinking about this, he suddenly became more angry.

   So the other hand was not idle, but kept tapping the girl's head lightly with a "dong dong dong".

So the screams gradually turned into grief, but still forced to argue: "It doesn't matter, that printing house has been in contact since my mother was still painting fans... It should... It doesn't matter... There's no need to treat me like this, it's too much. , uh, uu, uuuu...!"

   After speaking, there was even a small sob in the words, which made Kato Yusuke have to stop the movements in his hands.

   And Yingri didn't miss this opportunity. Taking advantage of the momentary gap created by the enemy, she immediately ran two meters away, squatted on the ground with her head in her hands, and looked at him with tears from the corners of her eyes.

  The soles of the snow-white feet were drawn together, and the delicate toes were clasped tightly against the soft fleece blanket. The petite body kept shaking like a frightened cub.

   This scene made Kato Yusuke feel extremely helpless, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply: "...Even so, you should at least tell me earlier, why did you delay it until now?"

   In response, the girl just stared at him silently, then turned her eyes away in a fit of anger, and muttered.

   "...mouth."

   "What did you say?" Kato Yusuke, who couldn't hear clearly, asked.

   "It's all said!"

As if to burst out all the grievances in her heart, Yingri suddenly turned her head around: "It's fine if you don't know, but haven't you been busy with your own work recently? Can you say it!?"

   Kato Yusuke was at a loss for words when the slightly higher clear voice entered his ears.

   Like a blessing to the soul, he couldn't help recalling the several contacts he had with each other when he entered the summer vacation.

   Now that I think about it, almost every time he is asking the girl for her opinion, the content of the conversation is also around his own work, but he has never asked how the other party is doing.

   In the face of his many harassments, although Yingri showed an impatient tone of disgust every time, but in the end, he would give suggestions for revisions very seriously, and never rejected him.

   It was like the fog in his mind finally dissipated, Kato Yusuke gradually realized his inappropriateness, but at the same time a new question arose.

   then scratched the back of his head and said, "...Sorry, what I just said was too much. Anyway, I will find a way to help. If you need anything, feel free to speak."

   "Huh? Ah, oh..."

  Xu felt the sincerity in his words, Yingri couldn't help lowering her head, and responded somewhat unnaturally: "Well...it's not that serious, I'd say there is something wrong with me..."

The voice of    is gradually getting smaller, obviously not suitable for the current situation.

   Kato Yusuke continued: "But then again, I remember you only planned to exhibit one work before, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

In this regard, Ying Lili stared back with a dead fish-eye expression, and said: "It's not because you have prepared three works for the first time you participated in the exhibition, as a company of [egoistic-lily] Sir, how can I, Eri Kashiwagi, lose to you!"

  “…???”

   With a series of question marks popping up in his head, a certain thought suddenly appeared in Kato Yusuke's mind.

  According to this statement, if what the other party said is true, it also means that the root cause of the problem is actually caused by his introverted behavior.

  Thinking of this, the corners of his eyes suddenly twitched.

   And Ying Lili got up and complained: "Really, your hair has been messed up to such a degree, I'd better go take a shower, and I'll talk about anything later."

   After saying that, he pulled his slippers and walked outside, but was stopped by Kato Yusuke.

   "Wait a minute, Eri."

"…what happened again?"

Facing the girl's look back, he pointed to the desk in front of him and said, "Isn't there a work that only has lines and coloring left, give me that first, so that I can take a shower while you are taking a shower. Can also start working without wasting time.”

   "...that word, put it on your left, look for it yourself."

   But just a second before Eiri was about to leave the room, Kato Yusuke suddenly said again: "Speaking of another thing."

   "Huh?! You've finished speaking all at once!" The girl who heard this looked back with a little annoyance.

   Seeing the other party flipping the sketches on the table, he said to her without looking back: "Can I make a video call with my girlfriend here when I'm at work? It won't affect my work."

   "That kind of thing is whatever you want."

  Eriri grunted back, then pushed the door and walked out.

   With the sound of a "click", the room suddenly became quiet.

   He grabbed a few comic books from the side and leaned against the phone.

   Kato Yusuke then initiated a video application to Sayu.

   Not long after, a small face full of curiosity appeared in the picture.

  …
