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

   Chapter 253 Arrested and Anti-Arrested

   Leaving aside the trio who were inexplicably immersed in a certain emotion and involved others without authorization.

   After telling Shi Yu-senpai that he was going to tell the preparatory committee to leave the venue, Kato Yusuke walked alone in the crowd of people.

   In his mind, he was thinking about what the girl said later.

   is not about the invitation to visit the exhibition together for the next half-day, but about the business case that the other party brought up.

   The specific quotation is about 10,000 yen per piece, but it is obvious from the girl's tone that there is still some room for improvement, but a detailed interview will be required at that time.

   The consignment plan of the bookstore, the follow-up series of the book, the business case commission from the editorial department of the Undead River, the game production invitation from a certain otaku...

   While thinking about this, he also quickened his pace a little. Although running is not allowed on the field, it's okay to race walking...if you can walk in the crowd.

  ‘Let’s get in touch with Eiri later. ’

   The boy thought so.

  ◇

   "...Eri Pear?"

   "...Hey! You've got the wrong person."

   Loose suspenders are paired with a plain white tee. Her tightly tied hair was covered by a large hat, and she wore black-rimmed glasses on her face.

   That outfit is very suitable for this venue, like a drop of water that merges into a pond, and it doesn't look abrupt at all.

   is even more natural than a danjie whose current flavor is amplified in the current environment, and the whole person exudes a sense of roundness that is integrated with the Comiket atmosphere.

   "That must be a superb skill developed after countless exhibition experiences and disguise." - Kato Yusuke thought casually.

   It's just that this outfit doesn't match its owner to the point of despair.

   Through the gap between the other party's hair covered by the hat, a touch of dazzling blond hairline squeezed out a little...

   Coupled with his unmistakable demeanor and recognizable voice, all doubts are easily resolved.

   Kato Yusuke asked directly: "—What are you doing here?"

The tone of    was as determined as if he didn't think about it at all, so the girl's defense was completely useless, so he had to give up resistance and obediently "captured".

   "How did you recognize it..." Ying Riri muttered softly, then cleared her throat and said, "...Anyway, I'm queuing up everywhere to sweep the goods. Since you're here, I'll help you with the book."

After   , the two heavy shopping bags were shoved directly into Jia someone's hands.

   The girl who passed the burden through this way became as light as a swallow again and walked lightly.

   "Mmmmm~ your shoulders are relieved all of a sudden! Come with me, I'll go to the next stall next."

   "I'm talking about you... The basis of dialogue is based on back-and-forth interactions, should you answer my question before calling someone else? Eiri."

   "Huh? Yes~ But in order to save time, it's okay to leave the words on the road, right?"

   Eri Ri, who was walking in front, looked back at him, urging from her slightly narrowed eyes, trying to push his steps with her eyes.

   If it is the usual Kato Yusuke.

   In the face of Yingri's inexplicable and self-talking behavior, he will most likely take a small punishment for his arrogant attitude first, and then he will help in the follow-up depending on the situation.

   But because he happened to have something to ask the other party today, so he simply skipped this step and walked forward with a shopping bag full of loot, walking side by side with the other party.

   Swah ah ah, ah ah ah ah.

   About a cardboard shopping bag weighing more than a dozen native-language dictionaries rubbed against the sides of the jeans.

   Kato Yusuke asked, "So when did you come? In addition, this dress...Isn't it deliberately worn to avoid the club?"

"It was almost seven o'clock in the morning when I came, but it looked like you hadn't arrived yet. As for the latter question, why do I have to avoid my own club? This is just to prevent the entanglement of stalkers. of."

  Eriri explained calmly.

  's indifferent tone as if to state a fact sounds a bit flat, but considering the true appearance it conceals and the current environment, it has a persuasive force that is so powerful that people are speechless.

   After the girl finished speaking, she glanced at him unintentionally and continued to speak.

   "Well... If you have a problem with this, it's not like I can't take the hat off, but if you run into any trouble, it's up to you to solve it."

   "Obviously, except for his appearance, he is similar to an ordinary elementary school student?" Kato Yusuke gave his evaluation in a low voice.

   "—What did you say??" Ying Lili's face changed in an instant, and the whole person was like a wild cat with fried fur, showing a fierce look.

   "I have delicious dried fish here, do you want to eat it?"

"Aha!?"

   "It's really delicious, you can try it." With one hand free, Kato Yusuke turned his palm over and handed over a bag of small dried fish the size of a palm.

   "Wait, where did you get this thing??"

   "That's not important, you eat first, I have something to ask you."

   "...What, it's inexplicable." Inri murmured.

   Maybe it was out of curiosity, maybe she had nothing to do, but she still decided to give it a try with a mentality of trying it out.

   Hiss, sigh—

   Chew, chew.

   "...Well—so-so." The girl said, then took another small dried fish and ate it.

   Kato Yusuke declined to comment.

   While the girl was happily eating snacks, he told the other party all the things he had thought before.

   "…that's about it, so what do you think?"

   "Hey...So that kind of thing happened."

  Eriri, who put her fingers in her mouth, sucked the salt on it and squinted.

   "It's Kosaka Zhuyin and the editorial staff of the Undead River, and you've grown up too, so nice~ so popular."

   "In order to prevent misunderstanding, let me ask in advance, is this jealousy?"

"certainly not-!"

   "Well, I think so too. After all, you are that Kashiwagi Eri-sensei."

   "Tsk~ boring flattery."

   The blown up hair was instantly smoothed out again, the girl snorted lightly, turned her head to one side, and cleared her throat.

   "Anyway, I understand what you said just now. I have asked my mother to help me with the consignment of the bookstore, so you don't have to worry, the money will be transferred to your account regularly.

   Then came a sequel to the book and a commercial illustration commission. Although I won't say that you should not take the case, but from my point of view, it's better to focus on the former at this time. After all, the response on the Internet is not bad. It's too wasteful to make money now. . As for the latter..."

  Eriri paused for a while when she said this, and then changed into a pointed tone and continued.

   "If you are confident in your progress, it's not that you can't consider taking over other business projects at the same time. It's just that generally speaking, unless you can sign a contract with the other party, most of the freelance artists' offers are generally not too high."

   "Is that so...I see."

   Kato Yusuke nodded slowly, coming to a conclusion in his heart.

  Unconsciously, the two had reached the island area of ​​the venue and stopped at the end of the line in front of a certain booth.

   has just been lined up, and someone immediately lined up behind.

  ‘About 40 minutes. ' After observing the number of people in the team, he thought to himself, and then asked the girl, "Is there anything special about this club?"

  Eriri, who swallowed the small dried fish in his mouth, nodded and said flatly, "Fumio Sagano of "cutiefake" is a college student studying at a university in Tokyo. A very feminine scumbag, it is said that he often interacts with many women and has constant disputes between girlfriends. However, the cute picture is unexpectedly well drawn, so it is worth paying attention to. "

   "...? Not to mention the numerous pitfalls in it, where did you know these things?"

  "The official website of "cutiefake" and the doujin section of 2ch. "

   "Why are you telling me this?"

   "Huh? Didn't you first ask me what's special about this club? I'm just telling you what I know, what's the problem?" The girl asked back with a puzzled face.

   Kato Yusuke returned a strange look, not knowing what to say for a while.

   And Yingli Li continued to speak.

   "Speaking of which, the stall next to you on the first day of the event was Ena Ibuki, right?"

  A picture of asking for autographs on clothes with an oil-based pen suddenly came to mind.

   Kato Yusuke responded: "That's it, what's wrong?"

   "Did you greet her?"

   "There are a few simple words when exchanging business cards."

   "Hmm~~~~ What, that person is a beautiful woman, right?" Ying Riri raised the corners of her mouth meaningfully.

   Thinking of the lively scene of the neighboring stall being crowded that day, Kato Yusuke did not deny it, "Is that teacher very popular?"

   "There are also her posts in the fandom section. As for the popularity, I think you should have seen it yourself."

Speaking of which, Ying Lili suddenly came up and whispered in his ear: "But what everyone doesn't know is that that person is already married, and the male representative who is with her in the club is her husband. "

   The faint breath caressed her ears, and the girl's voice contained a childish pleasure of sharing secrets, and then she distanced herself and joked, "What? Did the fantasy suddenly disillusion."

   Kato Yusuke scratched his ears, "I won't ask about how you know it, after all, I'm not a fan of her. But don't you think it's more interesting to keep it aside even if you know it?"

   "If the representative of a female writer's society is a man, that person is generally a boyfriend or husband. My mother said that more than 80% of the people she knew before were like that."

   "Well, so the problem is with Aunt Sayuri..."

   "On the other hand, more than 90% of the female coser who always hang out with male writers are girlfriends or evil women..."

   "No, so you don't need to point it out. If you let those fans hear it, there will be problems, right?"

   "That's why I won't take care of the stall with you, or what if I'm misunderstood?"

   "Um... I'm sorry, no matter how you look at it, you look like you're making excuses for yourself."

   While chatting about these things, the two slowly moved forward with the team.

  …

   Thank you [Walnut My Treasure] for the reward.
