Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

When Yusuke Kato came to the studio carrying a bow on his back, he immediately attracted people's attention and asked curiously about its origins.

After hearing the name Nakano Ryoko, everyone subtly fell silent at the same time.

Hasumi Kanoko glanced at He Yum a few times and was the first to break the deadlock.

"Huh, it's quite common for juniors to give graduation gifts to seniors, but the reverse is less common. Nakano-kun...why would he give you such an expensive thing?"

She originally wanted to use "why", but she felt it was a little inappropriate on the way, so she changed her tone temporarily.

Kato Yusuke shook his head and answered truthfully: "I don't know."

"""""Um?"""""

Several pairs of eyes focused on his face at the same time, containing different emotions.

"...No, it's useless even if you look at me like this. Nakano-senpai didn't give a reason, she just asked me to take it in."

Such an answer aroused Shiyu's dissatisfaction.

"So? Just accept it when someone tells you to accept it. Yu-chan, when did you become so easy to talk to? And that senior sister is also——"

Shiyu asked with a straight face and a sharp tone:

"No matter what, Nakano-senpai is so kind to you, right? I'm sending Xiao Xi a kimono, and I'm sending it to you and Yum... Do you plan to send it to yourself next time?"

Yinglili on the side pouted her lips and continued talking.

"How could you commit yourself to marrying under that senior's condition? I think it's more like getting married!

The male protagonist, who is a commoner, and the female protagonist, who is a wealthy daughter, live happily together like this.

But one day!

However, the male protagonist accidentally discovered the secret hidden by the female protagonist and discovered that the seemingly innocent lover was actually a lustful person who had collected many things of this and that kind.

When he turned around, the formerly dignified and elegant lover now showed a strange and dangerous look in his eyes. He held a small leather whip in his hand and said this with a smile -

Ah, Darling, you really are. For bad boys who discover other people's secrets, they must be taught a lesson - it hurts! ? "

"——Okay, the time for delusion is over."

"What are you doing! Why are you hitting someone on the head!? You little white-faced common man hero!"

"If you want to ask for a reason, it's basically what you said above."

Kato Yusuke took back the knife that struck Erili's head and massaged his temples.

"... Yinglili, I have told you many times. Reality and creation are two different things. Don't substitute your delusions into reality."

"Really." Shiyu sighed as if he couldn't bear it, and agreed: "He is indeed an erotic fan author, and his delusions about that aspect are simply unparalleled."

"That's long-winded!" Yinglili retorted, "How can you, Kasumigaoka Shiyu, say that? Aren't you a nymphomaniac who will seduce men as soon as you get the chance?"

"...I don't want to be said like that by someone who repeatedly launches super immoral and second-hand creations in the fandom world, right?"

"That's just my way of sincerely responding to readers' needs. I'm not like some author who is essentially a love brain and a nymphomaniac, who will let all the characters in his works be carried away by love."

"...that~~~"

Sagara Mayu raised her hand cautiously and interjected with a slightly red face.

"Honestly, I think the two teachers should pay more attention to the presence of other people, as well as their own image and reputation..."

As an innocent girl who has not had any experience in love, she really can't bear the topic of violence right now.

As for Yoshida, he went back to typing code from the moment the two started bickering.

At this time, Hui, who had been listening silently for a long time, made a final statement.

"Well~~ Just like Miss Sagara said, if this continues, it will probably become endless. Yusuke, please put away your bow. And Eiriri, I want to talk to you about work~"

"...Huh? Talk to me?" Yinglili blinked, looking confused.

"Yeah."

Hui nodded slightly and took out the schedule.

"Because tomorrow we have an audition for important scenes for all the characters. As for the scene where Tomoyo Sakagami breaks up with the protagonist, I haven't received your original painting yet. How is your painting going?"

"——Ugh!"

Hearing this, Yinglili, who had been talking enthusiastically just now, suddenly showed a terrible expression, and her eyes wandered around uncertainly.

"This...this...I'm still painting."

"...That's it. Can it be completed before tonight? If there is no original painting, tomorrow this scene will have to be a blank image, and it may be lacking in expressiveness."

"...This, this...that..."

Yinglili hesitated and lowered her head, unable to speak for a long time.

Seeing her guilty expression, Shiyu couldn't help but frown.

"What's going on? Sawamura, I remember that the original painting was decided before we went to sleep together?

It's been so long, and you still haven't finished the painting? Normally, you should start drawing the new character's original painting long ago. "

"that is because--"

Yinglili raised her voice unconsciously, then immediately lowered her voice and shrank her shoulders slightly.

"...I have never been able to think of a picture that can reflect the heroine's style."

"Is that the reason?"

Hearing this seemingly profound question, Yinglili frowned unhappily and glared over, "What do you want to say?"

Shiyu looked at her calmly and expressed his thoughts.

"I feel that current Sawamura-san is too particular about quality, resulting in a lot of wasted time."

"What...are you saying that my efforts are meaningless!?"

"I didn't say that. But compared to the time you spent, I don't feel that the quality of the original painting has improved significantly."

Kolon!

Yinglili stood up angrily from her seat and asked.

"Hey! What do you know--"

She was only halfway through her words when she was coldly interrupted by Shi Yu.

"——Do you think I don't understand anything? As Yu-chan's lover, I watch him draw those amazing works every day. Or do you think I don't even have the ability to distinguish good from bad? "

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Faced with the two people who turned from bickering to real quarrel without any warning, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

Hui looked at them awkwardly, feeling as if she had accidentally started a sharp topic and tried to make up for it.

"...Uh, um... why don't we all calm down first...?"

Shiyu glanced at her lightly, then turned his gaze to Yinglili and sighed softly.

"...I don't want to argue with you, but haven't you always been able to draw fast and well before? Rather, your only advantage is your stability, but what's going on now?"

Yinglili's heart skipped a beat and she turned her head to the side, not looking at her.

"......Why don't you quarrel with me? Aren't you trying to hurt me with every word? No creator would be happy hearing the word "stable". "

"Then you should paint well and don't bring any crisis to the studio."

"You don't need to tell me about that kind of thing..."

"So, can you hand over the drawing before tonight? Even an uncolored sketch."

"I……"

Ying Lili opened her mouth, speechless.

Shiyu nodded and said calmly: "It seems that's not possible."

"..."

Yinglili gritted her teeth, clenched her fists and said nothing.

The conversation was interrupted and the room fell into silence.

So Shiyu looked at the young man who had packed up his bow.

"Anyway, I won't go into too much detail. If that doesn't work, let Yu-chan draw the picture. This way, we can successfully catch up with the audition tomorrow..."

"-No, I can't draw that picture."

""""Huh? """"

The voices of five people, Megumi, Shiha, Eiri, Kokano, and Sagara May, overlapped.

Kato Yusuke carefully placed the collected bow on the cabinet, then turned around to face everyone, shook his head and said:

"I can't draw that picture. Let's wait for Yinglili."

"Yusuke..."

Yinglili's eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't help but chant his name. Shiyu held his forehead with his hands irritably.

"...But then we won't be able to catch up with tomorrow's audition. Don't you understand, Yu-chan?"

"That doesn't matter. The audition will ultimately focus on the quality of the voice actors, and it won't have much impact on us. I value my companions' thoughts more than that. The most important thing is——"

Kato Yusuke asked: "Eiriri, what do you think?"

"Huh?"

"Just like what the poem said, I can indeed draw that picture, and even directly provide you with the finished product, but it is not Eri Kashiwagi's thing. Do you want me to do this?

Stop trying to grow yourself, dig deeper into your own possibilities, and just live every day comfortably. Is this the future you want as a painter? "

"——!"

Yinglili was shocked, her expression seemed like she couldn't understand what he said at the first time, and she shook her head desperately after she came to her senses.

"--I do not want."

The girl walked up to him, looked directly into his eyes, and said firmly and clearly:

"I want to draw it myself, and I will draw it seriously. No matter what method I use, I will draw it."

"……Yeah?"

The young man couldn't help but smile, with a warm smile on his face, and raised a hand to gently touch her hair.

"Then you should work hard alone first. If you encounter difficulties, you can always come to me and ask me."

"……Um."

Yingli lowered her gaze shyly, pressed her slightly hot chest, blushed and whispered: "...Absolutely, I will draw it for you to see."

Kato Yusuke grinned and nodded happily.

"Okay, then I'll be waiting, come on."

"I'm talking about you two."

In this slightly warm atmosphere, Shiyu walked up.

"...Really, Yuu-chan, do you think you are her father? You actually touched her head in front of us. And you, Sawamura, too. How long do you want to act like a spoiled child to Yuu-chan?"

She depressedly grabbed Kato Yusuke's hand and took it away from Eiri's head, who was so ashamed that she seemed to be ashamed of herself. Then she put that hand on her head while everyone looked at her strangely.

"...a little poem?"

Kato Yusuke blinked blankly, with a questioning look on his face.

Shiyu looked straight at him and lightly opened her red lips: "Okay... touch mine too."

Kato Yusuke was stunned.

Everyone looked stunned.

"——Xia, Kasumigaoka Shiu!"

Yinglili was so angry that she stamped her feet, "Thank you for saying that to me just now. You are the one who likes to act coquettishly, right?"

Shiyu didn't bother to pay attention to this, and used his eyes to urge someone to touch it faster.

Kato Yusuke smiled bitterly, glanced around awkwardly, and chose to obey.

"Is this, like this?"

"What are you nervous about? Don't use so much force, just do it gently as usual."

"……oh."

"Yes, that's right, that's it..."

Shiyu closed her eyes in enjoyment, her expression slowly softened, and then she gave new instructions.

"Now, say something to compliment me again, as if you were whispering."

"Well... Xiaoshi's hair is very beautiful and feels very comfortable to touch." Kato Yusuke said dryly.

"Hmm~~ I feel like you still can't let go? Otherwise..."

Shiyu opened his eyes slightly and said in a joking tone: "Do you want to touch other places?"

"Well……?"

"Come on. There is a girl with white skin and rosy lips right in front of you, who can do whatever you want. Just wait for the boy to muster up that bit of courage."

The girl said as she took a step closer, closed her eyes again and stood on tiptoes, slowly closing the distance and sending out her fragrant breath.

at this time--

"Shut up~~~~~!"

Yinglili rushed up with a sharp voice and forcefully separated them.

"It's unbelievable! How long do you want to flirt in front of everyone? Who is the one who doesn't pay attention to the occasion~~!"

Mayu Sagara on the side looked red and covered half of her face with her sketchbook, only revealing a pair of round eyes.

Shiyu looked at the furious Eiri and showed a satisfied smile, "Ah, you're talking about flirting... I'm just confirming my love for each other with Yu-chan."

"Don't come here anymore. Look! Yusuke is having a hard time. He is so gentle and can't bear to refuse you, but don't make too many demands on him."

"Hmm... Being told like this by you, who just took advantage of the atmosphere to act coquettishly to my boyfriend, makes me feel a little mixed. Obviously I graciously let you enjoy it for a while before taking action, Ms. original artist."

"Anyway, anyway... don't bully Yusuke too much..." Yinglili said without confidence, as if she was a soft-spoken and short-handed person.

Hui watched their interaction thoughtfully, tilted her head and said something.

"Well~ Anyway, the original painting thing is over for now... It means Eiriri and Kasumigaoka-senpai, the relationship between you two seems to have improved~"

"Ah~ I think so too!"

Sagara Mayu nodded, "I feel like the atmosphere between Teacher Kashiwagi Eri and Teacher Kasumi Shiko has been different since the camp ended. Why~?"

"--Huh?"

Yinglili was stunned for a moment when she was asked. She glanced at Hui subconsciously and lowered her head guiltily.

In contrast, Shiyu gently crossed his chest and raised his eyebrows provocatively.

"What? Kato-kun, are you curious? Hey~~ What a surprise. I thought you would always have no desires and desires. Now do you want to return to the Four Heavenly Kings?"

Faced with these words, Hui still responded calmly in his usual style.

"...Um~ I'm just asking casually, Kasumigaoka-senpai doesn't need to answer. To be honest, that joke about the Four Heavenly Kings is enough, not to mention I'm not a traitor?"

She paused here, glanced in a certain direction as if inadvertently, and said:

"Anyway, I still have some materials to bring to the audition that need to be sorted out, so I'm going to work on them first. Goodbye, everyone."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left.

Seeing Kanoko covering her mouth and smiling softly, Ren followed her on the pretext of helping.

Shiyu curled his lips, noncommittal.

Kato Yusuke took out his cell phone, replied to the message Xiao Xi had just sent, and declined the other party's invitation to have dinner at home.
