Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

After washing his hands, Kato Yusuke came to the living room. And turned on the phone and sent an email to one of the contacts.

【From: Kato Yusuke(Kato-Yusuke@xxxxx)】

【To: An Yi Lun (T-AKI@xxxxx)】

[Subject: publicity map]

[Content: Are you free now, what about the promotional image of "Love Metronome" last time, let's talk about it in detail? 】

Put down your phone when you're done.

Just as I took out the low table and prepared my painting supplies, the old flip phone vibrated with a 'hum—'.

So he picked up the phone.

"Hey, is that Kato? This is An Yi. Could it be that Sha Yujia's work has been completed!"

An Yilun also had a somewhat distorted voice coming from the receiver, and his tone was quite impatient.

"...So fast." Kato Yusuke said subconsciously.

"Hey, what does that mean?"

"No, it's nothing, it's just that you called back faster than I thought."

"Hey...Although I will enjoy good animations and accumulated games from morning to night on weekends and holidays when I don't have a part-time job, and I will hide my mobile phone and clock to spend this precious happy time..."

Having said this, An Yilun also paused, and his tone suddenly became high.

"But if it's an important thing, it's another matter! Kato, your work is the third most important thing on my to-do list!"

"By the way, your top two animations, games, and novels haven't changed for 10 years!"

Isn't this already more than two...? Should I say that this person has no family or friends...?

"..."

After a moment of silence, Kato Yusuke replied.

“Sizhai Steamed Goose Heart (Chinese).”

"Hey, what did you say?"

"No, nothing, forget it."

"Oh... So, is that work finished? Can you send it to me if you can... No, please pass it to me!" The other party said in a sincere tone.

Turning the brush in his hand, Kato Yusuke responded lightly, "It's not finished yet, but it won't be long... How will I give it to you then?"

"Well, since it's a big picture on the homepage of the website, I think the scanned electronic version would be better, okay?"

"Understood, then I'll find a printer to pass to you later."

"Okay, then please!"

At this time, An Yilun also suddenly remembered an important matter.

"Well, Kato said he was a doujinshi painter, right? What's your pen name?"

"Pseudoname...?" Kato Yusuke's hand moved slightly, "Then 'Nagato Yuki' is fine. "

"No, no, you must have come up with it on a temporary basis—!"

An Yilun also spit out forcefully.

"Let's not talk about the subtle relationship between fan creation and the original work itself, it's a bit of a pseudonym for you to use such a well-known character... Of course, I also like Dameng Shen very much, it's better to say Nagato Saigao——! !!"

Then the words turned again.

"While this is just my personal suggestion, you'd be better off with a different name."

After speaking, the other side fell silent, quietly waiting for a reply.

Kato Yusuke did not ignore the advice that An Yilun also gave. At least within the scope of the otaku field, he felt that the other party was relatively reliable.

After thinking for a moment, he said thoughtfully, "Then "eromannga". "

"eromannga? Isn't this an erotic manga? Is it subtle or direct, I always feel like I want to complain..." An Yilun also muttered.

And Kato Yusuke said directly: "That's it, if there is nothing else, I will go to color."

Hearing this, the opposite party immediately changed his attitude.

"Ah, then please hurry up, Kato... No, Erromanga-sensei!"

"Beep beep beep..."

Kato Yusuke hung up the phone directly, and suddenly found that it was a bit strange to be called by others.

I simply stopped thinking about it, so I picked up the paintbrush and started coloring the work.

Because he does not belong to the otaku circle himself, he thought that if he could gain some fame in the circle with the help of the propaganda of An Yi Lun, a serious otaku, it would also be beneficial to the sale of doujinshi.

In addition, the new pure love theme was also created based on "Love Metronome". The combination of the two is the reason why he chose to help An Yilun...

Or help each other? One is for money... ah no, it is to bring excellent works into the circle; the other is for the love of the work in my heart.

This wave is called win-win, a win-win situation.

...

With the passage of time, Kato Yusuke also successfully completed the coloring work.

After the color above had dried, he began to examine the work carefully for imperfections in places.

Looking closely, the previous line draft has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In the composition with a strong sense of the camera, Sha Yujia with black hair is smiling like a flower in the pink cherry blossoms flying all over the sky.

The lively expression seems to be really coming to life, and it can firmly catch everyone's attention at a glance, bringing a dreamy visual enjoyment.

Unfortunately……

shhh-

Kato Yusuke, who checked that there was no problem, didn't want to continue to appreciate it at all, and simply put away this page of drawing paper.

Then he changed his clothes, grabbed his wallet, keys, mobile phone, and umbrella and went out.

He came to the 7-11 convenience store in the opposite direction from the station, because there are more printers here. In addition to printing and copying, it also has functions such as scanning and faxing.

It took about fifteen minutes or so, and Kato Yusuke, who had finished his work, also sent An Yilun an email.

——[The scanned electronic version has been sent to your mailbox. If you have any questions, you can contact me immediately. (P.s works only!)]

Just sent it out... no, the phone rang immediately before this notification email of mine was sent.

Caller——【An Yi Lun also】

After hesitating, he picked it up.

"Hey……"

"... woo woo woo."

The unspoken words were interrupted by a whimper, and then An Yi Lun's voice came from the receiver.

"I... I, I, I, I'm so touched, this is Sha... Sha Yujia! It's alive... Oh, Sha Yujia, it's really amazing, old Erromanga—"

Before the other party said something more nauseous, Kato Yusuke, who turned into a dead fish-eye, hung up the phone directly.

"It seems to be alright..."

The boy muttered like this, inexplicably feeling a little tired.

Maybe it's better not to get too close to him? ——While Kato Yusuke was thinking about this, the phone received a new email...or a reply.

【To: Sawamura Eri (e-lily@xxxxx)】

【From: Kato Yusuke(Kato-Yusuke@xxxxx)】

[Subject: Re: look at this]

[Content: Where are you? The painting you just sent was a new one? 】

And the reason for this email is that when he just sent An Yilun his works, he also sent a copy to Yingli Li.
