Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

Recruitment went more smoothly than expected.

Countless resumes were delivered to the studio's mailbox, which took a lot of effort from Kato Yusuke.

In the end, Yinglili helped him deal with it, and he managed to get better.

In this troll incident, "TYPE-MOON" became an instant hit.

Whether it is the studio itself, the game planning of "ad", or their fantastic lineup, they have become the focus of the Internet nowadays, and the popularity remains high.

Affected by this, original animators who are interested in applying for jobs are also actively submitting their resumes, hoping to get a layer of gold in "TYPE-MOON".

Among them there are many senior painters with rich experience and good skills.

And the reason why they are willing to come to "TYPE-MOON" is simple.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see the current situation.

As long as there are no production crashes in the later stages of the game "ad", then the day the game is released, it will be a hit on the entire internet!

For many unknown painters, this is precisely the most attractive place!

As for what if this game really crashes later?

Look at the team that made it.

Not to mention a certain psychotic producer.

The person in charge of the game script is this year's most popular light novel writer Kasumi Shiko, whose delicate writing style has long been highly recognized by the market.

In addition, the subject matter this time is the emotional relationship that she is best at describing, so there is no problem no matter how you think about it.

After finishing the script, then came the art.

Eri Kashiwagi, a leader in the book world, is especially good at the creation of Ling? series works.

His delicate painting style and brushwork are regarded as treasures by many people.

Coupled with the creative concept of constantly chasing hot topics and trends, and the painting style that anyone can easily accept after seeing it.

It also makes me one of the creators who best understands the public's preferences, and is widely loved by everyone.

Therefore, people were relatively relieved to see that the person in charge of art was Eri Kashiwagi.

last of the last.

Fujimoto Shu, a eccentric cartoonist, an enigmatic painter, and a man who amazed the entire Internet with an original painting.

Just these three people gathered together.

That's not just a flying dragon riding on the face, how could he lose?

The painters are full of confidence in this.

All in all, Kato Yusuke spent a day looking at resumes, finally selected a candidate, and agreed on a time for the interview.

But wait until the next day.

When Kanoko Hasumi led the newcomer into the conference room, everyone waiting here suddenly fell into silence.

Seeing that Kanoko didn't know what they were thinking, Hassan took the initiative to introduce them.

"Let me introduce you to everyone. This is the original animator who is applying for the job. Could you please introduce yourself? Teacher Fumio Sagano."

"Okay~!"

The girl following behind raised her foot and took a step forward, naturally folded her hands in front of her lower abdomen, and bent slightly to salute.

"Hello everyone~

My name is Sagara Mayu, my pen name is Sagano Fumio, and I am a doujinshi artist.

Nice to meet you all, please give me your advice~”

The girl has short brown hair that reaches her shoulders, with two pigtails tied low on the back of her head.

On the lovely face, a pair of big, round emerald eyes are as bright as opal.

She wore a dark brown woolen coat with a stand-up collar, a beret common to painters on her head, and a pair of black tights on her lower body. The whole person is dressed up beautifully and cutely.

It was such a girl who made people stunned for a while.

Except for Yoshida, who had just joined and was a little confused, everyone else looked confused.

after awhile.

"...Zhen...Zhenwei!?"

An Yilun also suddenly stood up from his seat, pointed at the girl and said loudly: "Wow, this girl looks like Zhenwei! Right??"

The high-pitched voice echoed in the room, and his tone was filled with excitement and excitement.

As if she was surprised by his loud voice, Mayu Sagara slightly shrank her shoulders and let out a soft cry of "Ah~".

Others also came to their senses one after another.

"Um... speaking of Shinui, she is indeed the heroine in Kasumigaoka-senpai's novel, "Metronome of Love," right?"

Hui said softly while subconsciously looking at Shiyu beside him.

"..."

Shiyu's eyes moved, his brows furrowed slightly, with a hint of thinking about memories in his brows, and then he slowly relaxed and let out a gentle breath.

"...It turns out it's you. I think we met in Xia I, right? Miss Xiangraku."

"Ah~ yes. Long time no see, Teacher Kasumi Shiko, thank you for giving me your autograph~!"

Mayu Sagara responded with a cheerful tone, and then looked at Yusuke Kato with a hint of expectation, a bright smile on her face.

"And there's Fujimotoshu... No, Eromanga-sensei! We haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"

Her tone was a little excited and a little angry.

"Maybe you don't remember me anymore, but you once recommended a good song to me, that Chinese singer Jay.

By the way, I was really a fool at that time. I met such a powerful person but didn't realize it... Ah, if only I had talked to you about more topics at that time.

But no more~~!

I'm finally lucky enough to see you again, I'm so excited now! I am your super fan~~~~! "

The girl clasped her hands on her chest, her eyes shining with longing and excitement.

As soon as these remarks came out...

Hasumi Kanoko: "Kato-kun?"

Eirili: "Yusuke?"

Shiyu: "Yu-chan?"

benefit:"……?"

The four women all glanced at someone.

"..."

Kato Yusuke, who was in the center of the whirlpool, couldn't help but be stunned, and then nodded gently to Mayu Sagara, with a bit of emotion in his tone.

"It turns out it's you... It's been a long time indeed, Miss Xiangraku."

◇

Half an hour later.

Except for Yoshida who felt uncomfortable and ran outside to smoke, everyone else asked Mayu Sagara various things.

Shiyu: "...In other words, you and Yu-chan actually met by chance a long time ago and even chatted together, but you didn't know each other's identities at the beginning, right?"

Mayu Sagara: "Hmm~ And the teacher helped catch an annoying idiot uncle. I always wanted to thank him, but I never met him again."

Hui: "...crazy uncle?"

Mayu Sagara: "Ah, you're not talking about me. It was a girl I didn't know who was targeted by bad guys, and then the teacher took action to subdue him, but in the end he left without saying a word..."

Hasumi Kanoko: "Well, this is indeed very similar to Kato-kun's style... In short, thank you for your special trip today, Mr. Fumio Sagano."

Mayu Sagara: "Ah~ No, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Eiriri: "...By the way, it turns out that Fumio Sagano of "cutiefake" is a woman? Judging from the pen name and online reviews, I thought he was a scumbag...well, a male. "

Sagara Mayu: "Ah, actually, that is the pen name I share with my brother...that is, my brother."

Yinglili: "Hey, brother...?"

Sagara Mayu: "Ahaha, this is a bit complicated...but I am actually the person in charge of drawing in the club, and to the outside world, my brother calls himself Sagano Fumio."

"So that's it..."

Everyone nodded their heads gently, showing understanding.

At least that's how it looks on the surface.

It is unclear whether anyone has made any speculations such as "The brother she mentioned is actually her boyfriend, right?"

The atmosphere was a little tense for a while.

Facing everyone's weird looks, Sagara Mayu added.

"Well, as I said before, my name is Sagara Mayu, and my brother's name is Sagara Fumio..."

She paused for a moment, with a slightly ashamed expression on her face, and continued a little embarrassedly.

"Although this may not be a good thing for me to say, my brother's reputation in private life is indeed not very good. I'm very sorry."

Hearing what she said, everyone immediately thought of Sagano Fumio's comments online.

"A scumbag who loves women", "often hangs out with multiple women", "constant disputes between girlfriends"...

Shiyu glanced sideways at someone as if inadvertently, curling his lips unhappily.

Kato Yusuke pretended not to see it.

Seizing this opportunity, An Yilun, who had been put on hold for a while, couldn't help but say: "Compared with these, don't you think this girl is really similar to Zhenwei?"

After a brief silence.

Mayu Sagara showed a somewhat troubled expression.

"Ahaha, although I also like Zhenwei, after all, she is super cute... However, she is always said to be very similar to the heroine in light novels, and people don't know how to respond."

"always??"

"Yeah~ Because Mr. Fujimotoshu and Mr. Kasumi Shiko have said similar things to me before."

Knock knock~

Kato Yusuke lightly knocked on the table.

"Sorry to interrupt you, but let's end the small talk. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to come to the studio, Miss Sagara. Let's talk about work directly."

He said, gently reaching out his hand and pushing a document towards the other party.

"This is a game plan currently being developed by our studio. It contains detailed information about the game and character settings. Please take a look at it first. If you have any questions, you can ask them."

"Okay, thank you teacher!"

""ad" planning book"

This was written on the cover in large, bold letters.

Mayu Sagara first took the document from the table politely, and then couldn't help but ask:

"Well, can I start reading directly like this? Isn't there something like an assessment or interview?"

Hearing this, Kato Yusuke explained.

"About this, didn't you include your own works in your resume? We have already done that during the review process.

Teacher Eri Kashiwagi and I agree that your painting style is more in line with our requirements and is consistent with this work, so there is no problem. "

Yingli nodded slightly, acknowledging the words.

It’s different from when Hashishima went to sea.

As a well-known creator in the circle, Mayu Sagara has already proven his strength, so naturally there is no need for any extra tests.

As for the reason why the two chose her among the painters who applied for the job, the main reasons are as follows:

First, the club "cutiefake" founded by Mayu Sagara and his brother is quite popular in itself. The published doujinshis are also classified as rare commodities by second-hand stores.

Secondly, the painting style of the other party is in line with the popular trend, and the characters in the painting are brightly colored and very cute. There is no doubt that they are high-level cute pictures.

Third, the person concerned has supported Yusuke Kato online many times, and he also has high recognition and loyalty to the "TYPE-MOON" studio.

After such layers of screening, Sagara Mayu naturally stood out from the other candidates.

Although the gender of the person involved suddenly changed from the expected male to female, which surprised Kato Yusuke and others, there was nothing to find fault with in other aspects.

Kato Yusuke added something while thinking about this.

"Of course, everything I just said is based on your willingness to join our studio. If not, you don't have to read that document."

"——Please let me join!"

Sagara Mayu answered decisively, and continued with some anxiety.

"Although I am still an inexperienced and immature newcomer in the business field, I really like your works, Mr. Fujimotoshu! I also want to create more cute pictures with my own hands.

So...so, please give me this opportunity!

please--! "

The voice gradually becomes higher as the emotion progresses, but it is still pleasant to the ear.

At the end of her speech, the girl stood up from her seat and bowed solemnly. Everyone could feel the sincerity in it.

Just as the words say.

Mayu Sagara is a young person who has never taken on a business case, so naturally she doesn't want to miss this rare opportunity easily.

Kato Yusuke smiled slightly, then nodded and said, "That way there will be no problem. Thank you for choosing us."

Seeing the smile on his face, Mayu Sagara, who had just raised his head, was stunned for a moment, forgetting to sit down.

The young man opposite smiled faintly, as if there was a breeze and a bright moon accompanying his shoulders, shining and dazzling.

Only the brilliance on his body is like the mist that can spread over the mountains, like the nocturne brought by the gentle wind from the strings of the quiet world, like the moonlight shining brightly on the stream.

That kind of dreamy, unreal, but intoxicating heartbeat.

Just like the sea breeze hugs the moon, and the waves kiss the rocks.

Xiangraku Mayu's brain couldn't help but go blank, his pretty face quickly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he was speechless.

Unlike the girls who have gradually become immune to Kato Yusuke's charm, Mayu Sagara, who has just arrived, obviously cannot bear this side of him yet.

Ying Lili, who was sitting next to her, saw her reaction, so she reached out and pulled her to sit down on the seat, and whispered a reminder: "Don't waste time, hurry up and read the documents."

"Huh? Ah, um... ok."

Xiangraku replied with hindsight, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Not daring to look at someone anymore, she pressed her chest with some fear, then lowered her head to look at the documents in front of her.

Buzz~

Kato Yusuke suddenly received a message on his cell phone.

[Senior Shiyu: Don’t smile like that at other women in the future——!
