Chapter 97 You are better

  Seeing the reply, Kato Yusuke didn't leave in a hurry, but went back to the store to buy a bottle of oolong tea. Just sat in the lounge area by the window and chatted with the girl.

  [Kato Yusuke: Well, this is a pure love theme, do you think it's okay? ]

  [Ying Lili: You actually draw pure love... I don't care if it doesn't sell well, but this one is pretty well drawn, and there should be people who will pay for it. Well, doujinshi almost always attract customers by their cover. ]

  [Kato Yusuke: I'm relieved to hear Mr. Kashiwagi Eri say so, and I'll have to ask you to guide me in the later part of the storyboard. ]

  [Yingli Li: ...I can do this kind of thing without you telling me, and my father has now agreed with you to join the club. If your work is not good enough, it will be me who will trouble you. ]

   Are you worried that you will damage the reputation of [egoistic-lily]? - Kato Yusuke smiled lightly.

  [Yingli Li: First of all, make sure that you are in a hurry to make money, right? Then the summer comi in August is the best opportunity. In short, please grow up in these two months. ]

  Xia comi—the full name of ComicMarket, is usually held in mid-August every year for a total of three days.

  The winter comi, on the other hand, is held in December every year, both of which are held at BigSight in Ariake, Koto-ku, Tokyo, which is the Tokyo Big Sight.

  According to Wikipedia, the so-called doujinshi sales meeting is a gathering activity that distributes, publishes and sells doujinshi.

   This is an event that symbolizes Japanese otaku culture. There are a lot of doujinshi related to manga, animation, and video games circulating in the venue, and all the participants from different styles gather here.

  Some people come to buy, some people are selling, and some people will buy them and then resell them to medieval fan shops, or simply put them on online auctions.

   The "seller" among them, that is, the one who made the book, is a particularly sinful group of people from the perspective of the otaku.

  …

   While thinking about this, he replied to Eiri.

  —[Understood, I will try my best. ]

  [Ying Lili: That's good... By the way, remember to bring a copy of the original painting of the painting just now, and I will update your work on the club website here. ]

   This is a pleasant surprise, but if the network is updated, as long as there is an electronic version?

   Even though he thought so, Kato Yusuke wisely didn't try to point this out, but responded with a cooperative sentence—[I see. ]

   Then there was no more, and the phone was quiet.

  The rain outside the window is still not too small. In this pattering rain, I feel inexplicably wanting to eat oden.

   Looking at the time, it was almost noon, so I went to the cashier and picked out some ingredients I wanted to eat.

   Chicken meatballs, beef tendon, lucky bag rice cakes, konjac shreds, fish cakes, small octopus, and the essential - Dagen (white radish).

   With miso sauce, mustard, and yuzu sauce, the total cost is 700 yen.

   After I settled the bill, I went back to the rest area, and I ate oden while listening to the sound of rain.

   plump chicken meatballs, chewy beef tendon... At the end, it is finished with a big root that is soft and juicy, and the appetite is very docile after a meal.

   Cleaned up the **** that I generated, I couldn't help but wonder what Sayu would eat for lunch, so I was ready to send an email to ask.

  Xu has a good heart, and when he sent his own mail, he also received a new mail at the same time.

  [Kato Yusuke: Have you had lunch yet? ]

  [Ogihara Sayu: Have you had lunch yet? ]

   A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, presumably the other side should be similar.

  [Ogihara Sayu: Hehe, I'm eating because it's just the break time. Where's Yusuke? ]

  [Kato Yusuke: I ate Oden at a convenience store. ]

   seemed to feel apologetic, and the other side replied immediately.

  [Ogihara Sayu: Sorry (>people<;), next time I will definitely prepare lunch for Yusuke in advance! ]< p>

  [Kato Yusuke: Don't worry, I want to eat it myself, don't you think I want some soup in this weather? ]

  [Ogihara Sayu: Hmm... Really, is it okay to make miso soup that night? ]

  [Kato Yusuke: Yes, anyway, your craft is delicious no matter what you do. ]

   After talking here, the phone rang directly.

   pressed the answer button, and the girl's soft voice entered his ears.

   "Yusuke?"

"Um."

   "What about that... Actually, there is one more thing I want to tell you." Sayu said hesitantly: "The colleague I said before, do you remember?"

   "Colleague?" Kato Yusuke was slightly startled, "Is that the girl who took your picture last time?"

   "Ah... yes." The girl continued: "Mami said she wanted to come to the house today, but I couldn't refuse, I'm really sorry."

   "Have you been bullied by that person?"

   "...Hey, there's no such thing."

   "Then why apologize?"

   "Uh...how to say..." Sayu said cautiously, "This...won't that cause you trouble?"

   heard the words. Kato Yusuke sighed slightly and deliberately put on a tone of fake blame.

   "So, why are you being so polite?"

"Eh?"

   "It means that there is no problem on my side, as long as you like, you can invite friends to play anytime."

   He considered his words and said, "After all, this family also has your share, so there is no need for this."

After    finished speaking, the opposite side suddenly became quiet.

   Through the handset of the mobile phone, you can clearly hear the girl's breathing and pause for a while, and then respond somewhat shyly and well-behaved.

   "Well, I see... Then I'll take her back tonight~!"

   As if to convey her excitement, the girl continued.

   "Ah, and I think she'll probably stay for dinner, so I'll make dinner a little richer, okay?"

   Isn't this more natural?

   Kato Yusuke smiled, "Ok, do you need to buy ingredients then? In that case, I'll go help too."

   "No~~ I'll ask Mami to come with me, Yusuke, please stay home and look forward to it~~!"

"I see."

   Hearing Sayu say that, he no longer insisted, just paused and said.

   "Well...I think you're more delicious, but I'll look forward to it for now."

  "…!"

   After a brief silence.

   The girl lowered her voice and said in a dragged tone, "If Yusuke wants to..."

   Then there was a string of silver bell-like laughter, like a yellow warbler coming out of a valley, melodious and melodious. With a girl's youthful splendor, and a bit of anticipation.

"idiot."

   Kato Yusuke couldn't help laughing, the lines between his eyebrows softened, and then he hung up the phone.

   Looking at the call log on the phone, there seemed to be stars twinkling in the boy's eyes like the night sky.

I do not know how long it has been.

   "Then, go back."

   Kato Yusuke, who exhaled slowly, stood up and stretched a long way.

   retrieved his umbrella from the basket at the entrance, and the boy pushed the door and walked out.

   The tall figure drifted away in the rain.
