Reborn in Tokyo after picking up Sayu who ran away from home

Chapter 237 Three Days Two Nights (1)

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

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

Some people will spend all the Obon and January holidays on participating in activities, and even give up their studies, employment, or marriage, and allow their lives to sink to the point where their parents worry about them.

Others lose relationships, or form nasty ones, because they get too active.

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

But for these people who are so unique in every way...the most important day is actually not the day of the event, but the period before the event that is close to the deadline for submission.

……

That's after the shower.

Kato Yusuke, who put on a tracksuit, came to Eirari's room.

In addition to the vast room filled with countless comic books, animation CDs, and video games, what catches the eye is the owner's third attire, which is different from the usual uniform at dinner time and the uniform at school .

The golden double ponytails, which are usually fine enough to be compared with handicrafts, have not only been untied at this time, but have even been disheveled to a horrible state.

And on the azure blue eyes that are popular among the campus boys, there is a pair of thick glasses hanging, and the eyebrows and vertical eyes are like a Q-version character picture with white eyes, which looks a bit fierce.

Finally, it is paired with a green sports suit with the school emblem of "Shimamura Middle School" embroidered on the chest. The overall feeling is really indescribable.

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

"You're really sloppy..."

As the low and indifferent words resounded in the room, the girl's vision became sharper, and she showed a fighting posture without hesitation.

"What? Do you have any dissatisfaction---!?"

"I'm not dissatisfied..."

Facing Eirika's ferocious expression, Kato Yusuke just pulled a chair and sat down beside her with an understatement, "It's just that suddenly there is a feeling that the SSR character has been cut or even redone, don't worry about it. "

"SSR role...?"

The girl was puzzled by this at first, and then her eyes widened in the next second, and her anger reached the threshold at a speed visible to the naked eye: "W-Wait?! I said you are deliberately finding trouble! ?”

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

Kato Yusuke replied indifferently, looking at the items on the opponent's table for a while, and fished out an air bag comb from the messy pile of sketches and brushes, and handed it over.

"In short, you should take care of your hair first, and explain the situation to me by the way."

Although she looked disgusted by this, Ying Lili snatched the comb away.Accompanied by the rustling sound of the comb passing through the hair, the girl hummed softly.

"...Well, to put it simply, I still have some unfinished works."

"Ah."

"But because the trailer has already been released on the website."

"Ah."

"So I have to try to catch up with this exhibition again. Got it...?"

"That is to say, it is a work that is going to be exhibited?"

Kato Yusuke asked suspiciously: "Didn't I finish the "Junior Student 2" book you gave me earlier?"

"Well, that's done."

Ying Lili nodded her head subtly, trying to keep her tone very calm, "So what I'm talking about here is something else."

"... what else do you mean?"

""Tolove's Dream Book", "The Prism of That Snow (The heroine is undecided)", "Love Metronome True Version", these are roughly the three..."

A brief silence.

"...Do you know what date it is? Yinglili."

"August... the seventh day."

"So what's the start time of Natsu Comi?"

"August... the fifteenth."

"Well, the answer is correct."

Kato Yusuke affirmed with a smirk, and then changed his words: "Then counting the day before the opening, in less than a week, you released three new movies that you never told me before. What is the reason for the plan, can you explain it to me in detail?"

The tone of the speech was extremely warm, but in Ying Lili's ears, her body trembled suddenly, and she let out a cute, almost inaudible "Yeah".

Then, pretending to be calm, while stroking his hair, he cleared his throat and said: "...No problem, as long as you are here, I will definitely be able to catch up.

And apart from "The Prism of That Snow", "Love Metronome True Only Edition" actually only has the part of drawing lines and coloring, and then "Tolove Dream Book" I also have ideas, as long as I draw it... ...It's not much when you round it up, it hurts! "

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

After combing for a period of time, the hair that was disheveled to messy just now has become tidy and has regained its former softness, which feels very comfortable to the touch.

It's a pity that someone rubbed it vigorously with his palm without any mercy, making it messy again, and the degree was even more unsightly than before.

"Wait, wait! What are you doing!? It took so much effort to comb it, so don't touch it!!"

Regardless of Eiriri's repeated complaints and obstructions, Kato Yusuke, who was very manic about this answer, just continued to take revenge on the "plush toy" in his hand angrily.

"Leaving aside your completely unnecessary trust, isn't it true that two of the three books have not been written at all? And the heroine of one of them is undecided, which means that they don't even have any ideas for painting, right? How can people help you?

Taking a step back, even if I want to help you, what should the printing factory do?Don't you have to send the manuscript a week in advance before it can be printed? "

After thinking about it like this, he suddenly became even more angry.

Therefore, the other hand was not idle, but kept beating the girl's head lightly "dongdongdong".

So the cry of pain gradually turned into a cry of grief, but he still forcefully retorted: "It doesn't matter, that printing factory has been in contact with my mother since she was still drawing fan... It should... It doesn't matter... There is no need to treat me like this, It's too much, uh, uh, uh...!"

After speaking, there was even a soft sob in the words, which forced Kato Yusuke to stop his movements.

And Ying Lili 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 in her eyes.

The snow-white soles of the feet were pushed together inwardly, and the delicate toes were clinging to the soft velvet blanket uneasily.The petite body trembled constantly, like a frightened cub.

This scene made Yusuke Kato feel extremely helpless, and he couldn't help sighing deeply: "...Even if this is the case, you should at least tell me earlier, why did you delay until now?"

Regarding this, the girl just looked at him in silence, then looked away angrily, and muttered with her mouth curled up.

"...... Mouth."

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

"It's all said!"

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

When the slightly high-pitched clear voice reached his ears, Kato Yusuke was speechless for a moment.

As if blessed to his heart, he couldn't help but recall the several times he had contacted the other party when he entered the summer vacation.

Thinking about it now, he was the one who asked the girl for advice almost every time, and the content of the conversation was also around his own works, but he never asked the girl how she was doing recently.

In the face of his many harassments, although Ying Lili showed an impatient and disgusted tone every time, she would give revision suggestions very seriously in the end, and never refused him.

As if the fog lingering in his mind finally dissipated, Kato Yusuke gradually realized what was wrong with him, but at the same time a new question arose.

Then he scratched the back of his head with some embarrassment and said: "...Sorry, what I just said was too much, anyway, I will find a way to help, if you need anything, just ask."

"Huh? Ah, oh..."

Xu felt the sincerity in his words, Ying Lili couldn't help but lower her head, and responded unnaturally: "Well...it's not that serious, if there is something wrong with me... "

The voice of speaking is gradually getting smaller, obviously very unsuitable for the current situation.

Kato Yusuke continued: "But having said that, I remember that 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-eyed expression, and said: "Isn't it because you have prepared three works for the first time to participate in the exhibition, as the editor of [egoistic-lily] Long, how could I, Kashiwagi Eri, lose to you!"

"...???"

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

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

Thinking of this, the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching.

And Ying Lili got up and complained: "Really, your hair has been messed up to this point. I'd better go take a shower. Let's talk about it when I come back."

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

"Wait a minute, Yinglili."

"……what happened again?"

Facing the girl's gaze, he pointed to the desk in front of him and said, "Isn't there a book with only drawing and coloring left, please bring that to me first, so that when you take a bath I will You can also get to work without wasting time.”

"...The words about that are on your left hand side, look for them yourself."

But just one second before Eiriri was about to leave the room, Kato Yusuke suddenly said again: "Speaking of which, there is another thing."

"Huh?! You finished your sentence at once!" The girl who heard this said looked back with a little annoyance.

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

"That kind of thing is up to you."

Ying Lili mumbled something back, then opened the door and walked out.

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

He took a few comic books from the side and put them together, then leaned the phone against them.

Kato Yusuke then initiated a video application to Sayu.

Not long after, a curious little face appeared on the screen.
