Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

It was an unfortunate encounter.

A painter accidentally made trouble with the author of his favorite work.

There is also an author who accidentally taught a female book fan that he has always wanted.

Because of a certain person, two girls who were supposed to have a wonderful encounter had an extremely fierce collision, which even lasted until the next day.

...

Wednesday, student union room during lunch break.

"You said she is that Kashiwagi Eri??"

"You said you were her plot director??"

"What the hell is going on?!" x2

As two melodious but unusually high-pitched voices rang in his ears at the same time, Kato Yusuke, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately frowned instinctively.

Separated by a coffee table.

I saw two beautiful girls with different styles staring at him for a moment, with a serious attitude of interrogating and extracting confessions.

Seeing this, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but frown deeper.

At this moment--

"Well, although I don't quite understand what happened, at this time it's better to have some tea first, Kasumigaoka-senpai, and Sawamura-san."

As a calm voice that was completely different from the previous ones sounded in their ears, two disposable paper cups were placed in front of the two women.

Although it is called tea, at best it is just the kind of instant barley tea sold in supermarkets.

However, out of good upbringing, the two women thanked the girl who served them drinks.

"Thank you, Kato-kun."

"Thank you, Kato-kun."

And with this opening——

"Ah, so it turns out that the eldest daughter of a dignified diplomat's family can only imitate other people's speech?"

"W-That's what I want to say, right!? Kasumigaoka Shiu——!!"

The atmosphere that had eased just now suddenly became tense again, so much so that the sound of crackling electric charges seemed to be heard in the air.

"Oolong tea, please."

Sitting down next to the boy naturally, Hui looked at the two girls who were facing each other tit for tat and said, "Is it really okay if you don't stop them? Yusuke."

Hearing this, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but glance at the other party, and then looked away again.

"Let's wait and see. I will stop it if necessary." He said after taking a sip of oolong tea.

So Hui said no more words.

Shiyu and Yinglili were still quarreling, and the topic had extended to each other's identity.

"...Basically, I really don't have anything to say to a rogue like you pretending to be a young lady."

"Hey! So I told you not to keep saying that word! And if you insist on saying it, aren't you also hiding your identity as a young writer?"

"Ah, I didn't mean to conceal this matter deliberately. It's just that no one would live and die...well, no one would have the guts to ask me about my privacy in person."

"...You are not flattering your face by saying that. But just like your works, you simply look down on most people."

"Although I do not deny that there are certain facts in it, but if "most people" are like you, a drowned dog with self-destructive qualities, then I am indeed like this. "

"Wha, what, what, what... Sure enough! It's impossible for a person as thick and dark as you to write with true feelings. I actually fell into your trap before. What a big loss!"

Hearing this, Kato Yusuke, who was originally a little irritable, suddenly raised his eyebrows and felt an inexplicable laughter in his heart. For a moment, I felt that even this noisy scene seemed to become interesting.

'This is probably the so-called dark side restraining the arrogant...'; he thought in his heart, and even looked at Yinglili with a little more pity.

Then he turned his attention to the person next to him.

I saw that the pair of smart eyes were full of surprise at this time, and they were watching the two girls who were exposing each other's shortcomings quietly and curiously, exuding a sense of tranquility.

Although in terms of presence alone, Megumi's aura may not be even one-tenth that of the other two, but it will always leave a trace in someone's heart.

That is something that should not be touched or delved into.

Thinking of this, his eyes were filled with secrecy.

It was as if she felt his gaze.

The other party stared sideways.

It was like a ray of breeze blowing across my face, so light that it didn't weigh anything at all.

The girl opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just chuckled, then lowered her eyes in silence and turned her head.

A pair of slender hands held his own bottle of oolong tea, and his white fingertips gently rubbed the bottle, wondering what he was thinking.

Although it is a long story, in fact the whole process only lasted a few seconds, which happened to overlap with the blank period caused by Shiyu's doubts.

"Before...fell?"

Shiyu, who had his hands folded on his chest, frowned and said, "What do you mean by that? Whether it's inside or outside school, I don't remember having any interactions with you, a otaku who loves painting." ."

So Kato Yusuke interrupted at the right time.

"Maybe it's because of the disillusionment with the author as a fan of "Love Festival". After all, Yinglili has had the experience of crying and swollen eyes after watching you all night long."

After hearing his words, the two people had different reactions.

"my fans?"

Shiyu looked dubious.

As for Yinglili, her body trembled suddenly as if she had been stabbed in a painful spot, and then she stamped her foot hard, "Who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who, and, and, and, or, and -------), Ying-li Lili is stabbed is your fan, you vicious-mouthed woman!!"

"Oh? So that's it."

The former had a meaningful look on his face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, "I don't dislike your personality that can be seen through at a glance, Sawamura."

"On the contrary, I hate your evil personality from the bottom of my heart! Kasumigaoka Shiu!" Eiri retorted without thinking, and looked at Kato Yusuke with a dissatisfied look, as if she thought he was too talkative.

At the same time, there was a hint of resentment in his eyes.

'It's not on the same level at all. ';

Kato Yusuke sighed secretly in his heart, and then considered his words: "Also, although Shiba-senpai didn't say it, I think she should also be following the [egoistic-lily] website. Didn't you notice? Eiri." "

"Eh...?"

Yinglili was suddenly startled, "That is to say..."

Facing the girl who seemed to understand something, Kato Yusuke nodded and affirmed: "That means Shiba-senpai is probably also a fan of "Kashiwagi Eri". Do you understand? "

Immediately, the blond lady looked towards the dark beauty.

I saw the other party's eyes flickering slightly, but he didn't deny it, just said something vaguely.

"Well... I just took a look at "Eromanga-sensei" while paying attention to it, but I don't deny that statement. "

"..."

"..."

The two women fell into silence at the same time.

Although everything seemed calm on the surface, in fact, they were not at peace inside at this time.

'That Kasumi Shiko is my fan? ';

'That Eri Kashiwagi is my fan? ';

A strange emotion enveloped both of them at the same time.

It was both a bit pleasant and a bit awkward, and at the same time mixed with a hint of inexplicable recognition.

If the angle and situation were different, if the two could meet in a more ordinary way, their encounter might be a little happier.

For example, using a book in the library as an opportunity to get to know each other and have a heated discussion as the author and reader, and then use the identity of the creator and creator of a work to discuss and communicate with each other, eventually leading to a happy friendship. ...

If there is such a development, it can be regarded as a good thing for both Shiyu with a twisted personality and Yinglili who has no friends.

It's a pity that because there is someone in the middle, this kind of expansion is destined to be impossible.

"Speaking of which, Kato-kun, I have a question for you."

As if to get rid of this emotion, Shiyu turned her attention to him: "As for what Sawamura-san said, you once visited her parents and promised that you would never leave her in your life... Can you please explain it? Kato-kun."

After finishing speaking, the room suddenly became quiet.

Not only Shiyu and Eirili, but also Hui on the side looked over involuntarily.

The three of them seemed to want to know how he would answer this question, but the expressions on their faces were completely different.

Hui was thoughtful, Shiyu looked inquiring, and Yinglili was uneasy.

For some reason, this quiet atmosphere was more depressing than the quarrel just now.

There seemed to be a faint dangerous aura like a Shura field in the air.

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but look confused, his eyes wandered between the three people, as if he had been thinking seriously for a moment, and finally stopped on the face of Shiyu who asked the question.

After taking a sip of oolong tea, he said: "It's true. I promised Yinglili's parents that I would take care of her..."

Suddenly, the fire in Shiyu's heart surged up again.

"Why does it have to be this one with small breasts!!" - Just when she was about to say this, she heard the boy add another sentence.

"We mean that as friends."

"Eh...?"

Shiyu's words stopped in his mouth.

Angry..."

Yinglili clicked her tongue in displeasure.

"Well..."

Hui's eyes blinked rapidly several times.

The atmosphere that was still a little undercurrent suddenly disappeared and became relaxed and comfortable.

Kato Yusuke then said to Shiyu and Eiri: "In short, the specific thing is like this. I didn't tell you the identity of the other party before because of privacy considerations. But now that I know it, as fellow creators, why don't we try to explain it properly?" Let's get along, maybe there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"With this guy...?"

"Get along with...?"

After hearing his words, the two women glanced at each other subconsciously and frowned at the same time.

"I'm talking about you!"

A displeased Eirili was the first to speak: "Who wants to cooperate with this kind of person who doesn't even let herself be integrated into the work when she creates, but only uses her writing and talent to manipulate readers' emotions?"

Shiyu also fought back without giving in: "Unfortunately, we have the same idea on this point, Sawamura-san. And it doesn't hurt that you said this to someone who originally made money by selling secondary creations. It's itchy."

After a pause, she continued: "But your opinion is very interesting. From a certain perspective, it may be the highest praise for a writer."

For some reason, the two started to quarrel again.

"I'm not praising you."

"But if I can control readers' emotions at will, wouldn't I be invincible as a writer?"

"Although not everyone...but if you just manipulate one reader, it wouldn't be difficult, right?"

"...What does this mean?"

At this point, Yingli glanced at someone casually, and then continued: "Just listen to one person's opinion, let the story evolve according to that person's wishes, and become more and more devoted to yourself..." That's what you planned, right?"

"What did you say?"

"You want to have a man in the palm of your hand, right? Just rely on that little trick!"

Facing the other party's intention, Shiyu responded coldly: "Sawamura-san, even if I hear these words from someone like you who wants to use eroticism to arouse men's desire, I don't feel any pain at all!"

So, at this point, these two people couldn't stop...

"In any case, a relationship that is approved by both parents is much stronger than an employment relationship that will end without knowing when, right?"

"No, they say that the relationship between people cannot be judged simply by the length of time. And judging from the release time of the works on your website, you are not much earlier than me."

"Speaking of which, don't you think the characters with long black hair are very heavy? It feels like they will make the protagonist into misfortune."

"In this case, blond foreigners are usually marginalized characters who are placed in animations and games for the sake of character balance."

"......Well."

"......Well."

Staring at each other in front of them, such thoughts flashed through the minds of the two passionate women at the same time.

"This woman is so terrible."

"This girl is so bad."

"Get along well or something...!"

"It's simply impossible...!"

For onlookers, such a scene is also disturbing.

Megumi, who was listening to the situation, suddenly whispered with emotion: "...I always think you are so awesome, Yusuke. I know either Sawamura-san or Kasumigaoka-senpai, and I seem to be quite familiar with them."

There was a slight pause in the middle, and then he murmured, seemingly unintentionally: "Is this the so-called Shura Field~~?"

Looking away from Shiyu and Eiri, Kato Yusuke shook his head and said, "It should be said that the compatibility of the two people is very bad."

There was silence for a long time.

He added: "And I have a girlfriend."

"Ok, I know."

The girl nodded her head slightly and spoke in a very soft tone, not knowing who she was speaking to.

And outside the door...

A woman wearing a suit and skirt was leaning against the door, holding a beige handkerchief in her hand.

Surprise was written all over that beautiful face.

...
