Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home Chapter 412

   Chapter 412 The second rejection

  A: "She's so pretty! I like it so much—!"

  B: "I want to be my sister's dog, sigh, sigh—!"

  C: "Hey, hey, I can—!"

  Ding: "Wow wow wow www (laughs)."

   Shi Yu's hands couldn't help but start to tremble, and the ideal E-cup also went up and down slightly.

   Never seen such consistent reader letters.

   is all about discussing the role of "Machima"...or making a confession.

When    came to the back, she no longer read out the contents of the letter, and would only put them aside with great disgust.

   The so-called three views follow the five senses, and this reaction is reflected most vividly in the letters from readers.

   Even if the current "Chainsaw Man" only released the first episode, even if the character of Maqima only appeared in a few pages, even the readers at this time did not know her name.

   However, with the blessing of Kato Yusuke's painting skills, the popularity brought by the simple but stunning appearance can only be described as amazing.

   Combined with that unexpected line design, the effect is simply outstanding.

  —Sizhai steamed goose heart.

   Shi Yu couldn't help but commented, and was very annoyed by these letters that humiliated him.

   Kato Yusuke saw her emotional agitation, so he went to the vending machine outside to buy two cans of MAX coffee, and stopped her from taking it down.

   And he himself continued to read the letter without hesitation.

   Shi Yu rested for a while, eased her emotions, and couldn't help but start to open the letter again.

  There is no reason for him, she just wants to be involved in his work, just like he was involved in hers.

   We shared the world we created, shared the honor and joy, lived a full life every day, and gained recognition in the process.

   That's all.

   "Magic!", "Evil Dao Comics!", "You call this a hot-blooded comic? It's just curious!", "Deviating from the classics", "Absurd and bizarre"...

   Aside from the surprisingly unanimous love of Machima, readers have mixed opinions about the comics, both good and bad.

  The girl showed unexpected sensibility in this regard. When she saw a letter complimenting her work, she would happily show it to him, and when she saw abusive work, she would mercilessly expand her tongue.

   looks more like the original author than himself.

   And such emotional behavior is a very exhausting thing.

   When the letter was about a third of the way down, Shi Yu couldn't help but yawned, "Huh...", only to feel that the tiredness from staying up late last night came together.

   Seeing her tired face, Kato Yusuke said, "If you are tired, you can go to rest, Shiyu-senpai."

   "Huh?" Shi Yu couldn't help but stunned when he heard this, and said subconsciously, "But the reader's letter..."

   "I'll just see for myself." Kato Yusuke interrupted her, "Go to the sofa over there to rest."

   "...Really?" Shi Yu blinked, glanced at the couch at the innermost side of the conference room, then looked at him again and said:

   "Since you said so, then I'll take a rest."

"Um."

   rumbling rumbling.

  The girl moved back the steel pipe chair and got up from the seat, walked towards the sofa with light steps, and sat down on it.

   squeak…

  The soft cotton sofa supported the girl's body and dented slightly.

   Shi Yu's body slowly relaxed, and then she looked at the figure on the conference table, her wine-red eyes filled with some thought.

   "Hey, Kato-san."

"Um?"

   "As expected, I still want to continue reading the letter with you."

   The left hand resting on the sofa clenched lightly, and the girl said in a nonchalant tone: "…Can I trouble you to come here?"

   Kato Yusuke abruptly stopped what he was doing and turned to look at her voice.

   What caught my eye was a plump body wrapped in a dark blue autumn uniform.

   A black and bright blue silk fell like a black waterfall, and a simple and elegant white headband was worn on the head.

  The dome-shaped E-cup is cinched by a sweater, emphasizing the graceful curves.

  The tail of the light sailor skirt is drawn with two white lines, one thick and one thin, covering the round and plump thighs. The deep black pantyhose glowed with a white light under the light.

   "...to there?"

   "Well, sit on the sofa and watch."

   thought for a few seconds.

   Kato Yusuke thought it was okay, so he nodded back, then got up from the seat with the box in his hand, and came to the sofa.

   "Sit here."

"it is good."

   Shi Yu moved his body to the side to make way for him, he took advantage of the situation to sit on the left side of the sofa, and put the box on the armrest.

   Just put the box down, before even turning around...

   slap, rustle.

   Accompanied by the slight friction of the clothes, a little more weight suddenly appeared on the thigh.

   Kato Yusuke's body stiffened.

   "...Huh...I'm so tired, just let me lie down like this." Shi Yu, who took off her shoes and lay down, leaned on his thigh and said a little tiredly.

The fragrance of   Herbal series shampoo floats into the nose faintly, and is mixed with the fragrant and suitable fragrance of gerbera flowers, which is fragrant.

   "...Shi Yu-senpai."

   Kato Yusuke said in a low voice, his eyes fell on her face covered by her hair, and she was silent for two or three seconds, but she didn't say anything after all.

   He reached out to the cardboard box on the left, ready to take out new letters from it, but the girl suddenly spoke up.

   "...Speaking of which, why did you paint such a work? Yu-chan."

   Kato Yusuke didn't know her intentions, but he still gave the answer truthfully, "To make money."

   "Even if you just rely on this face, you can make girls take care of you willingly~?"

   Shi Yu first laughed, and then asked: "I think your work is very special, can you tell me about it?"

   Seeing that she had no intention of reading the letters, Yusuke reduced the two letters he was going to take to one, and while opening the letters, he asked casually, "Sister, what do you want to know?"

   "Generally speaking, the protagonist of this kind of heroic story will have a goal, right? Like strength, money, reputation, etc."

"Um."

   "Set an expected goal for the reader, and develop it step by step to gradually meet the audience's expectations. This is a traditional story design concept."

"Yes."

   So Shi Yu said again: "But you don't seem to have such a plan, nor did you design a specific goal for the protagonist, why?"

   Kato Yusuke put the finished letter aside, took another one, and explained:

   "The Chainsaw Man shows a protagonist who moves with the flow and changes with the environment, and he doesn't have such specific goals."

   "...No specific goals." Shi Yu repeated his words and said with a smile: "How do you feel like you are a little like you now?"

   Kato Yusuke was silent, neither admitting nor denying.

   rustling, rustling…

  The soft body moved carefully, rubbing against his trousers.

   Shi Yu changed to a comfortable position and continued to ask: "So on this basis, what kind of story do you want to show?

   Exposing the evil of human nature through the theme of demons? Or a little person in a fantasy world, struggling in despair? "

"neither."

   Kato Yusuke shook his head and responded thoughtfully.

   "The Chainsaw Man wants to show a little warmth under the appearance of darkness and thorns, and it is easier to show the best and worst of people in a desperate environment."

   "There is no absolute black and no absolute white in the world. Every living soul is half human and half ghost."

   "There are no dogmas and formulas in this work, it is just from the perspective of the character, to tell the process of a person from physiological needs to self-realization, that's all."

   His voice spread steadily, and there was a sudden silence in the conference room.

   "Hey, Yu-chan."

   Shi Yu turned his body and looked up at him, his slightly hot face, the light in his eyes was like a star falling on the bottom of the sea, shimmering and bright.

   "...you know what? This part of you is what makes my heart feel the most."

   "Just discussing the work, nothing special." Kato Yusuke said flatly.

"-not like this."

   Shi Yu shook his head slightly, and traced his angular jawline, high nose bridge, deep eyes and long eyelashes with his eyes...

  Time seemed to stand still.

   Her eyes gradually blurred, and the autumn waves in her heart made her reach out her hand, gently climbed up on his cheek, and said softly, "Even if it's a work, it's a work you created."

   Kato Yusuke couldn't help but stop breathing as the cold soft water touched his cheek, then raised his hand and pushed the girl's hand away, lowering his gaze.

   stared at the jade-like face.

   A touch of complexity flashed from the depths of his eyes, and then became obscure.

   "Trust me, I've read it almost, you can go home, senpai."

   "Go home...because Kato-san is waiting for you?"

   Shi Yu asked in a erratic voice, without waiting for him to answer, he took advantage of the situation to hold his hand, and said in a voice that could not tell whether it was a joke or a serious voice.

   "I know she's taking care of you. Although I can't cook like her, I can do a lot of things, such as raising you..."

  The voice gradually became smaller after that.

   A blank time enveloped the two of them.

   The girl pursed her lower lip slightly and grabbed his hand tightly, her slender fingertips turning white.

   met those burgundy red eyes that were trembling slightly.

   Kato Yusuke was silent for a while, then slowly put down his hand, brushed her hair away from her eyes, and said something in a calm and firm tone.

   "You have a better choice, Sister Shiyu."

   Shi Yu turned his body in silence, facing him, with his head lowered so that the expression on his face could not be seen clearly, his voice was slightly hoarse: "This is... the second rejection?"

   did not hear any answer, it was the default.

  The girl let go of his hand suddenly, and put her hands together next to her head, as if she was resting.

   After a while, her body began to tremble slightly.

   Kato Yusuke was sensitively aware of this, but kept silent.

   There are things he cannot give because he himself is equally incomplete.

   From the moment he lost someone important, he felt that he also lost the ability to love someone.

   The warmer the temperature on his body, the more it reminded him of the warmth he once had with Sayu.

   Accepting a new relationship with a broken state of mind, making other people a substitute for Sayu, he has no intention of that.

   Either Megumi or Shiyu-senpai.

  The two people are neither the Kasaka Shuyin with a fixed view and a hard will, nor the Shinjoka who hopes to gain value from him.

   Facing them, he couldn't act as calmly as he did with those two people.

   These two are completely different concepts.

   Kato Yusuke silently smoothed out some fluctuations in his heart, and the expression on his face became Gujing Wubo again.

   looked at the girl lying on her body trembling slightly, as if she was "sobbing".

   He couldn't help moving his lips, ready to say something.

   However, the other party took the initiative to speak in the next second.

   "...Hey, Yu-chan."

   Shi Yu lowered her voice, took a deep breath, and asked in a joking tone: "We're like this now... From a certain angle, doesn't it look like I'm burying my face in your crotch?"

The sudden turn of    stopped his thinking for a while.

   A series of question marks appeared from Kato Yusuke's head.

   During the time when his thoughts stopped, the other party also supported his legs and slowly sat up.

  The smooth hair is slightly messy, the white cheeks are slightly rosy, and the small lips are like ripe cherries.

   "Hmm~~ I'm almost resting."

  The girl gently folded her hands and stretched her backhand forward. She stretched her waist like a newly awakened begonia flower, gorgeous and moving.

   Kato Yusuke, who came back to his senses, just watched her bend down, put his feet into the small leather shoes on the ground in a leisurely manner, and gently lifted the heels.

  Because of the previous rejection, he didn't know what to say for a while.

   On the contrary, Shi Yu didn't seem to care about it, he just said that he was going to the bathroom, and then left the room with a bang.

   As the door of the conference room was gently closed with a "click", the room returned to silence.

   Kato Yusuke sat on the sofa for a while, leaned back, raised one arm over his eyes, and stared at the ceiling quietly.

  The bright incandescent lamp shone on the top of his head, shattering in his eyes, and the thick and colorful eyes were a little dazed.

   After that, I didn't wait for the girl to come back from the bathroom.

   Kato Yusuke, who had packed up the reader survey, picked up the cardboard box, greeted Machida Yuanko, and left the Fudogawa Building on his own.

  Take the train from Jimbocho, take the train all the way home to a nearby station, then head towards the apartment.

   The dark blue sky came to the entrance of the night, and the sparse stars hung overhead, faintly illuminating the path below.

   Kato Yusuke thought of the park that Sayu had mentioned, the park where Mami was supposed to be able to see the stars, and his heart became a little heavy.

  If Sayu was still around, they might have dinner together at home during this time, maybe they would walk together on the street near the apartment, or they might just be tired of being together at home.

  Two diametrically opposed emotions emerged at the same time.

   A feeling of nostalgia began to grow insanely, and he couldn't help but want to fly to Hokkaido immediately to see the person he wanted to see.

   But there is another kind of absolute calm and reason that is preventing him.

   Kato Yusuke stopped abruptly, the expression on his face changed for a while, and returned to normal after a few minutes.

   walked back to the empty apartment with neither light nor heavy steps.

   Eat alone, bathe alone.

   Turn off the lights and go to bed earlier than usual.

   While staring at the ceiling in the darkness, he hugged the black cat nestled in his chest.

  The eyelids gradually closed with consciousness.
