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

Chapter 252
Sunday morning, August [-]th, was sunny and cloudless.

Stepping off the crowded Rinkai Line International Exhibition Center station, we walked through the dark crowds gathered outdoors.When Kato Yusuke came to the booth with the club ticket for early admission, other people were already waiting there.

Nuoda’s exhibition hall is still busy and full of enthusiasm. With the heat permeating the space, it is easy to predict how hot it will be during the day.

Today is the third and last day of Comiket.

On this day, Sato and Ito finally realized the great fear of being swallowed by the crowd.

That's after the opening.

When the two originally planned to lead the team as usual, the dense crowd pouring in from the gate area immediately submerged them in the impenetrable ocean.

Like a flat boat swaying in the raging waves, the two people who hadn't stepped out of the arena were directly pushed back by the coercion.

If Kato Yusuke, who saw that the situation was not right, pulled them out of the crowd in time, I'm afraid it would be unknown when they found it again.

Even so, the subsequent work of organizing the team was extremely difficult.Even they themselves were squeezed into the team in the process.

So much so that the signboards in their hands had to be handed over to the people behind in turn like drumming and passing flowers, so that new participants who wanted to join could see where the end of the team was.

to later.

Not only the sign at the end, but even the temporary "middle of the team" sign came in handy.Even the field staff panicked, and hurriedly called a lot of helpers to come to help, and just barely controlled the situation to ensure that there would be an aisle for people to pass through.

Looking at the crowd gathered towards this booth in a swarm, these staff members couldn't help but have a question in their hearts at the same time.

That is - "Why is the popularity of this wall club higher than those popular clubs allocated in the gate area?"

And in the same hall, but in front of the booth on the other side, a certain petite girl was also queuing here, and the software interface of Twitter was showing on the screen of the mobile phone in her hand.

"Egoistic lily", "eromannga sensei", "reminder guide", "early summer time"...

Sliding through the topics under many labels one by one, looking at the number of topics that continued to increase in seconds, the corners of her mouth slightly raised a touch of pride.

Then he murmured softly: "Hey... Isn't that a good job, that guy."

After casually giving a few praises to the content, the girl happily put away her phone and began to confirm the battle plan (shopping route) she made last night to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

So in fact, everyone is working hard for the things they love, and there is no such thing as throwing away their work, and using the name of the club to enter the venue early to snap up the book... Probably.

The world today is still peaceful.

◇

As for Yusuke and Shiwa, it was another situation.

The time is specific to one hour after the opening, at [-]:[-] noon.

"Okay, I'll charge you 4800 yen, thank you for your patronage."

When a male customer successfully bought the book and left the booth with a victorious gesture...

"Sorry! "Egoistic lily" is sold out——! "

"sorry."

The young girl who had been busy with the reception and cashier work since the morning lowered her head one after the other to make amends with a slightly hoarse voice.

At this time, the people who were still queuing in front of them sighed and shouted on the spot...

That's the way it is,

Even though the measure of limiting the purchase of two copies of the same work per person was adopted early on, the business still ended early with a degree of popularity that was so good that it was beyond imagination.

"Thank you everyone—!"

"Thank you."

Yusuke and Shiwa bowed to the crowd again.

Some participants who sighed gave warm applause.

"Everyone has worked hard!"

"Thank you for your hard work~"

"Looking forward to your work on East Comi!"

As the applause receded, those who failed to buy the book could only disperse with regret, and began to rush to the next goal.

The club participants at the neighboring stalls sent their well-meaning blessings, which were mixed with a little bit of envy, and then they were immediately drawn back by the guests in front of their respective stalls.

"Finally, it's over..."

"...No, I can't..."

Moaning, Sato and Ito, who returned to the booth, sat down on the ground, as if they had been fished out of the water. The clothes on their bodies were not only wrinkled, but also sweaty.

Even so, they couldn't muster the slightest effort to tidy up their appearance, and their expressions were full of a sense of emptiness after their bodies had been hollowed out.

Even Saito, who was rubbing his wrist at the side, nodded his head empathetically, taking advantage of the situation to join the topic.

When talking about topics such as "Which side is the hardest?", "Why are Otaku so crazy?" and "The cute-looking Coser walked into the men's bathroom calmly!" They scolded or laughed at each other and teased each other.

At this time-

A pair of size 42 white Converse shoes stopped in front of them.

"Thank you for your hard work, this is what I said before."

Three white envelopes were handed over by a clean palm.

"Big Brother Kato..."

"Big brother."

"Brother Kato."

The three people who saw the visitor couldn't help but stood up and said, but none of them reached out to take the envelope.

So Kato Yusuke didn't say much, just stuffed the envelopes in their hands into their hands, and then patted their shoulders respectively, saying thank you.

Then he walked to the table.

"Thank you, Shiyu-senpai." He said with a hesitant expression.

"Huh?" The girl who noticed the abnormality raised her head from the checked accounts, first cast her eyes on his face, and then focused on the hand he was putting in his pocket.

The corners of the mouth softened involuntarily, and the light hair flowed down.

"For me?" Asked Shi Yu, who raised her hand and curled up her hair in one ear, her voice was like the elegant sound of water.

Kato Yusuke nodded "Hmm..." and put the last envelope in his pocket on the table, "I've troubled you for the past few days, I hope you can accept it."

"How much money is in it?"

"[-] yen, the same as Ito and the others."

"Oh……"

Nonchalantly glanced at the trio behind Fang who were about to open the envelope, Shiyu took a sip of the already warm coffee and continued to ask: "How much money will you give Sawamura for selling the book?"

"What is the senior sister talking about?"

"Huh, it's really your bad habit to immediately think about other people's intentions like this. Your ability and talent are very good, but it's a pity that your disposition is as sweet as marble soda."

"Senior sister wants to say naivety, right?"

"Huh? Is it necessary to confirm this kind of simple homophonic stalk with me? And even if you deny it, it's useless, because there is no better reason than this to explain the reason why you have contact with the Sawamura family. "

Speaking of this, Shi Yu temporarily paused, then flicked his forehead in the air, and said lightly: "And you actually promised to take care of the girl for the rest of your life, how naive are you? It makes people feel very hot.”

"Huh? I'm sure I didn't say the word "lifetime". Besides, I only took care of her as a friend. I probably didn't mean the same thing as my senior sister... I should have said this before. "

"Well, you did. Then, how much are you going to give Sawamura?"

Facing the girl's questioning, Kato Yusuke shook his head helplessly, and raised two fingers: "20% of the profit, but that is a unilateral decision made by me, and has nothing to do with Eri and her family."

"—Naive." Shi Yu finally couldn't help stretching out his hand to his forehead, but unfortunately he pushed it away with his backhand.

Looking at the eyes that conveyed the meaning of "stupid" in front of him, Yusuke just asked flatly: "Then if you were replaced by senior sister, would you care about these?"

"Huh?" The girl couldn't help but froze for a moment.

So Kato Yusuke repeated it again: "If it were a senior sister, would you care that this money is only a very small part of your own income?"

There was a brief silence.

"...Okay, I see what you mean. But don't compare me to Sawamura, it makes me uncomfortable in every sense of the word."

"Since you feel uncomfortable, why would you buy the other party's notebook at your own expense?"——Yusuke couldn't help but smile while thinking about this in his heart.

"In short, in the matter of Ying Lili, I think that I have gained far more than I paid. Instead, I should thank her for being willing to cooperate with my self-satisfaction. After all, I was the one who came to the door by myself."

"Obviously I can do that kind of thing for you..." Shi Yu murmured, turning his eyes away, but he seemed to have forgotten that his work was almost cut in half.

"Huh? Did you say something, senior?"

"—Nothing at all, anyway, are you willing to accept a commercial illustration case?"

"Commercial illustration? Senior sister's?"

Kato Yusuke couldn't help wondering: "Is there something wrong with the illustrator on "Love Metronome"?"

Shi Yu shook her head: "No, Mr. Matsubara Hozumi is in good health, but he's just my editor... well, it's time to call the deputy editor now, that person has always wanted me to introduce you to her."

The girl took out a business card from her bag and handed it over, "Anyway, if you're interested, please call the number above, the treatment shouldn't be too bad... And, take this back too."

sand--

The white envelope on the table was pushed back.

"Uh... senior sister, what is this?"

Shi Yu then looked at him and said, "I came here because I wanted to do that. Even if I can help you, it's just incidental, so don't worry about it."

A gentle smile appeared on the lips, and it was deeply reflected in the pupils of the other party.

Just when Kato Yusuke was about to say something...

"Brother Kato~~~~!"

Three men with rough stature suddenly ran up to block between the two of them.

"……Um?"

Turning his gaze to their faces, three faces with complex expressions appeared in his eyes.

As if he had been touched by some kind of heart, the trio in the baseball club were all looking at him with "affectionate" eyes and tears streaming from the corners of their eyes.

Seeing this scene, Kato Yusuke couldn't help being stunned, a chill suddenly rose from behind, and then unconsciously pulled back.

The other party followed closely.

"What are you doing here?" He asked a little helplessly.

The three remained silent, just staring straight at his face.

In the inexplicable silence, a solemn atmosphere quietly spread.

There is a vaguely passionate and surging prelude ringing in my ears.

next second.

Tap-tap--!
Brush brush --!
Accompanied by the sound of neat footsteps and clothes rubbing against each other, the full-bodied baritone voice exploded in the hall together.

"Thank you for your attention——!"

There was ten to 15 seconds of silence at the scene, and people gathered their eyes one after another.

Immediately after—

"Hey! The three people over there are actually you again!?"

Angry shouts belonging to the staff also came from not far away.

…………

　Thank you [Walnut My Treasure] for your reward.
