Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

Latest website:

Tokyo International Exhibition Hall.

East Hall, in front of booth A28b.

"Ah...so it's this kind of subject..." A female participant who was looking through the samples said to herself, and then put down the book in her hand.

Her eyes alternated between the posters on the wall and the merchandise on the table, her expression obviously disappointed.

After some hesitation, she picked up another copy of "Underclassman 2".

Swish swish swish.

"Hmm...this time it's humiliation and tentacles again..."

Seeing this, the woman had clearly realized that she had lined up the wrong stall this time, because the lady here was seriously inconsistent with her in terms of hobbies and tastes.

The contents and themes in the book were all minefields that she couldn't accept.

I wanted to just leave like this, but when I thought about the time it took me to queue up, I couldn't help but feel a little unwilling.

After all, during the time she was attracted by the posters, long queues were already forming at other popular stalls that were visible to the naked eye.

If you go to queue now, you will definitely spend a lot of energy, and you may even encounter a situation where limited edition products have been sold out.

With a feeling of hesitation, the woman who looked away from one of the other stalls couldn't help but ask: "I'm sorry, are all the products here of this type?"

A gentle, clear voice responded to her.

"If you don't like it, you can check out the special products here. If you buy it now, you will get a full-color paper card."

It's like a sweet rain falling in summer, bringing a sense of coolness to people.

Subconsciously looking towards the source of the sound, the woman's expression became dazed for a moment.

She saw a young man with a handsome face looking at her with a smile. The smile was friendly and hearty, which made people feel very comfortable.

The women couldn't help but light up.

"Eh...? Ah, which group are you an artist from? Or are you a voice actor? I don't know why I feel familiar with you! Can you sign an autograph for me?"

His voice was two times higher than before, and there was excitement in his tone.

Busily, she flipped through the large tote bag she carried with her, trying to find something that could be used to sign.

Unfortunately, the other party stopped her with words.

"Sorry, I have not engaged in the jobs you mentioned. As for signing..."

The young man paused and said, "If you wish, I can sign one for you as a doujinshi author."

"——A doujinshi author?"

"um, yes."

The movement of the woman's hand paused, and her eyes were slightly strange.

First, he looked at the book recommended by the other party, and then stared at Kato Yusuke for a moment.

She finally picked up the "Love Metronome Sayuka" with some hesitation and flipped through the pages one by one.

After a few beats.

Women's reactions have changed.

The original casual expression disappeared and was replaced by a focused and serious look.

The page turning speed gradually becomes faster.

She suddenly started looking at the previous pages again.

Then his face began to turn redder and redder, and his breathing became slightly faster.

The next second...

"Sorry, I'll buy a set for this special offer."

The woman raised her right hand slightly and said, "And please sign for me."

Kato Yusuke responded with a smile: "Then the total is 2,500 yen. The payment is on the side. Thank you for your patronage."

After going through the process of paying, getting change and signing.

“Thank you for your support egoisticlily!”

"No, it's from my side. Thank you for your signature~ Teacher Eromanga."

Both parties, who had settled the money and goods, spoke politely to each other, and were obviously very satisfied with the result.

But just when Kato Yusuke was preparing to receive the next guest.

The woman suddenly handed over another note, "Also, this is my Line ID. If you don't mind... Goodbye, teacher~"

After leaving behind a sentence that couldn't be said to be implicit or explicit, she turned around and left with a smile.

Zhizhi——

With the sound of chairs being dragged around, a certain girl suddenly said: "I will help sell these things for the time being...keep them, President~"

◇

Since then.

"Okay, I'll charge you 3,000 yen, and ask you for 500 yen... Saito-san, it's time to replenish the goods."

"Copy it! Come here now-"

"How many true copies are left? Saito."

"Well, let me take a look. It's the last box. There are about two-thirds left, Brother Kato."

"Senior Shiyu, starting from the next batch of customers, the special coupons for "Metronome of Love" will not be sold individually. Please check the stall first, and I will talk to Ito and the others, and inform the customers outside."

"Well, I understand."

The girl, who felt that she had been entrusted with an important task, sat in someone's seat and continued to receive the people lined up in front of the stall.

"...Then please come next."

"Okay~~ It's finally my turn! Sorry, please give me three sets of all the products here."

A soft and pleasant voice came into my ears.

"All three sets...huh? Do you want to buy that many copies?"

"Ah~~ Is there a limit to the number of books?"

"No, there is no such thing..."

Shiyu couldn't help but raise his head and cast his gaze on the girl in front of him.

She is not tall and has slender hands and feet.

She has brown hair that is neither short nor long, and is tied low into two buns on the back of her head. She looks like a high school or college student.

Wearing a large Western dome hat on her head, she was wearing a light green strapless suspender dress.

The style is very bright, but it is not the same as the gorgeousness that otakus like. The clothes are more like those in teenage fashion magazines.

Shiyu's eyes moved, and he subconsciously let out a whisper: "Zhenwei...?"

"Eh?"

The girl who heard this was slightly startled at first, and then showed a troubled expression.

"That's the kind of thing to say again... Hmm~ Being compared to a young heroine makes me a little confused about how to feel."

"……what are you saying?"

"Ah, no. The Zhenwei you are talking about is the character in "Metronome of Love", right? I'm sorry, I just suddenly remembered that someone said similar things before, so please don't pay attention."

The girl who said this suddenly looked up at the poster on the wall, her mood suddenly became excited, and she continued to say "but but~".

"——Mawei is really super cute! For example, when the protagonists meet on page 24 of the second volume, the illustration that suddenly looks back attracted me deeply!

There is also the scene on the rooftop under the sunset on page 180 of the third volume, which I think is the best scene! She is so cute that you can’t help but want to hug her!

Even the smile on the poster is cute, and by the way, the other characters are cute too~~! Cute, cute, cute, everyone is too cute! "

The girl's face was filled with intoxication, and the atmosphere around her was filled with pink bubbles.

‘Uh…where did this “cute monster” come from? ’

Shiyu couldn't help but sighed in distress, and her tone softened slightly, "Anyway, you want three sets, right? The total price is 25,500 yen, but by buying so many, are you running errands for your friends?"

"Huh? No, these are all what I want. One set for viewing, one set for collection, and one set for recommendation."

The other party seemed to want to prove that what he said was true. After speaking, he looked at the products on the table with a dazed expression and carefully considered them.

"And the pictures here are so amazing...the expressions are so cute and the colors are so awesome, much better than what I drew..."

The face of the girl who muttered like this showed the joy of meeting her favorite illustrations, and the satisfaction of successfully grabbing the product...but also a little bit of unwillingness.

"Better than what I drew? Are you also a doujinshi author...?"

"Eh! Uh~~...No, um...I'll pay now."

Looking at the girl rummaging through her wallet in front of her, Shiyu thought for a moment and asked, "Do you need me to sign for you?"

"——Eh? Is that okay!?"

"Yeah. Although it only has my signature for now."

In the face of the other party's confused eyes, she asked again: "What's your name?"

"Ah, yes, my name is Sagara Mayu, please." The girl folded her hands in front of her belly and said with a slight bow.

So Shiyu smoothly signed his pen name on the front pages of the two "Love Metronome" books.

"To: Sagara Mayu—Kasumi Shiko."

…

Wait until Kato Yusuke comes back from outside.

"Next one please?~"

"Please give me a set of this special package."

"Okay, the total is 2,500 yen. Here are the gifts and change. Thank you for your patronage~"

"Thank you~"

Both the action and the dialogue appear to be very harmonious.

But looking at the scene in front of him, Yusuke felt something strange in his heart.

Then he walked up and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Senior Shiyu. It's time to change shifts."

"Well, okay. Welcome back?~"

Look at the other person's face for a moment. He couldn't help but ask: "Senior sister seems to be in a good mood, what happened just now?"

"Haha, that's right."

Shiyu chuckled and nodded, "Meeting an interesting girl is completely different from those women who pretend to buy books but actually take the opportunity to chat.

Although the number is limited, at least it lets me know that there are fans here who simply like the works. "

"Is this a reference to mulberry and slander?" - Although there was no such doubt in his mind, Kato Yusuke wisely chose not to delve into it and focused on his work again.

Time passes slowly.

…

"Sorry, Teacher Eri Kashiwagi's "Love Metronome True Edition" has been sold out. Please come again next time."

"Hmm...is it too late? Can I still get the limited paper cards here?"

"If you are willing to buy the "Love Metronome Sayuka" plus any of the other works here."

"Ah~~Then I want this book plus "The Prism and Gauze of the Snow"."

"Okay, the total is 2,700 yen. This is your product, please pay next to it."

"Thank you for your patronage."

The situation went smoother than expected.

It was about three o'clock in the afternoon...

"Sorry! The "Love Metronome" series has been sold out. If you don't mind, please choose other products."

"Eh? What about the bookstore consignment plan after this...?"

"Sorry! That aspect has not been decided yet."

The apologetic words were mixed with some high-spirited emotions.

"That's it... Well, anyway, I'll follow your club's Twitter account first. If you decide, remember to mention it on there."

The participant who said this turned around and walked away with a large handbag filled with loot on his shoulder, heading towards the food vendor.

Kato Yusuke then sat down on his seat, picked up the warm oolong tea and poured it into his mouth.

Although there is still an hour before the end, most of the ordinary participants have basically finished shopping by now, while those club participants who have almost nothing to sell begin to gather at the home delivery counter, preparing to make arrangements for later delivery in advance. Item transportation matters.

After seeing that there was no one queuing in front of the stall, Kato Yusuke arranged for Saito and the others to take a rest, and together with Shiyu, who insisted on staying, they counted the sales so far.

The results of "egoisticlily" are as follows:

"The Lower Class 2": 700 copies sold (1721/2000)

"Love Metronome Real Edition": Sold out

"The Prism and Gauze of That Snow": Sold out

"Tolove Dream Book": 700 copies sold (1721/2000)

"Love Metronome Sayuka": Sold out

"Early Summer Time": 200 copies sold (700/2000)

"Urgent Guidance": 300 copies sold (821/2000)

Putting aside Yinglili's pure love, the series "Metronome of Love" has obviously become the biggest dark horse today.
