Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home Chapter 493

   Chapter 493 Toyonozaki's trio

   "—So, do you think this arrangement is okay? Yusuke."

   Following Megumin's words, the three of them unanimously focused their attention on Kato Yusuke.

  Across a coffee table, the four of them sat opposite each other.

   Yusuke and Megumi were sitting on the sofa inside the room, while Shinjoka and Eiri were sitting across from them.

   As for Shi Yu, he was sitting alone behind his desk.

  Her hands were typing on the laptop in front of her, and she was focusing on the final volume of the novel, not participating in the discussion.

   Since all the members present knew his identity as a light novel writer, no one would bother to disturb him at this moment.

   In the face of Megumi's question, Kato Yusuke did not answer immediately, but cast his eyes on the two women opposite in thought, and then asked:

   "About this matter... What do you think about Eiri?"

   "Huh? What are you thinking, didn't I just say it's okay?" Ying Riri asked back with a puzzled face.

   "But I may have to entrust you with art work in the near future. If you participate in the executive committee, can you coordinate the time over there?"

   "This...will you have a lot of work?"

   "Basically, I always thought of you as the first original painting."

   "Wait, are you talking about that game now??"

   "Well, I originally wanted to talk about the studio later, but that's what happened."

"This-"

  Eriri sat up straight, with a slightly hesitant expression, and then said with a confused look:

   "I said, although I'm very satisfied that you can trust me so much, but - from the character design, original painting, background, CG, etc., wouldn't you want to leave it to me to do it alone??"

   "No. Considering the time, I will outsource things like background, UI design, and some materials, and you will be responsible for the rest."

   "That is, character design, original painting and CG?"

   "Well, so you can balance work, club, and school? If not, at least you won't be the executive committee member of the cultural festival."

"Well…"

  Eriri blinked frequently and stopped talking for a while.

   This reaction also gave Kato Yusuke an answer in his heart, so he looked beside her.

   "Then let me make a little adjustment, can the work of the executive committee be handed over to you alone? New article."

   "Okay~"

   Shinjoka nodded and agreed readily.

   "Anyway, there will be representatives from each class at that time. I don't think the student council will be needed. If there is any problem, I will report it to everyone at any time~"

   "Sorry, classmate Shinjo..."

   "You don't need to be so polite to me, Sawamursan. Besides, what you have to do is more important than me~ I will cheer for you."

"Thank you…"

   "You don't need to worry about it, but forget it~ You're welcome."

   The two exchanged a few friendly greetings and settled the matter amicably.

   After the brief episode, the four continued to discuss the work arrangement of the cultural festival.

The content of    includes but is not limited to the following five aspects:

  1. Detailed review of the project plan.

  2. Publicity announcement and venue layout.

  3. Ceremony planning and venue allocation.

  4. Equipment management.

  5. Inspect the school and deal with sundries.

   After some twists and turns, things were arranged properly for the time being.

   Considering various factors, Yusuke Kato took the initiative to undertake most of the affairs.

  Although this will make him very busy, but it can save a lot of time for Ying Lili and Shi Yu-senpai, so it is not a loss.

   In addition, Hui also said that he would help him deal with it together. If it really doesn't work, he can also consider asking for help from the Mangosteen brothers and the baseball trio.

   So it is enough for the cultural festival.

certainly!

   Having said that, it is not without a price.

  It is foreseeable that, at least at this year's cultural festival, he will not think about doing things other than work in his spare time.

   But Yusuke Kato is very open about this.

   Now that he has enjoyed the convenience brought by the status of the student council president, he naturally has to bear the obligations and responsibilities that it brings.

   Just want to get but don't want to give anything. There is no such whimsical good in the world.

   After talking about business, another thing followed.

"-So."

  Megumi then summed up: "All in all, I don't have any questions about the cultural festival here. You can talk about other things, Yusuke."

After   , everyone stopped talking in unison.

   At this point, even Shi Yu paused the work in hand and joined the discussion together.

   Kato Yusuke first called Anyi Lun and called him to the office.

After   , there was no delay, and the contracts prepared in advance were directly handed over to Ying Lili, Shiyu-senpai, and Megumi.

  According to the content of the contract.

  The three will be the shareholders of the studio, and will join in the work of art, scripting and production, and will each enjoy a 10% stake in the studio.

   Of course, the contract here is a newly drafted contract, and the version signed before is automatically void.

  Mei and Shi Yu didn't react much because they had said hello in advance, but Eiri was caught off guard.

  Especially when she saw some of the content above, she asked outright.

   "I said, Yusuke. What's going on with the shares mentioned above??"

   "Is there a problem?" Kato Yusuke looked at her and asked.

   "Because—that contract you gave before doesn't seem to have this clause in it!"

   "This is because the situation is different now and then, so I made some changes. If you are worried about the pay, I can only tell you that it will not be less than before."

   "—I'm not talking about that anymore!"

  Eriri hesitated for a moment, her eyes stopped for a moment on Megumi and Shiyu who also received the contract, and then she glanced at An Yilun next to her, and finally asked:

   "...But isn't it weird? Even though I didn't invest any money in it, I somehow became a shareholder... I always feel a little embarrassed.

   Otherwise, it's better to follow the previous ones…! "

   Kato Yusuke pondered for a while, "Can I discuss something with you? Eiri."

   "Huh, what's the matter...?"

   Ignoring the doubts that the other party showed in an instant, he said:

   "Like I don't question your decision to "egoisticlily", can you listen to my thoughts on this studio?

   Regarding this contract, I think it is a guarantee that we can go further on the road of creation in the future, so I hope you can simply accept it. "

   "Yes, but..."

   "Nothing, I won't force you to sign it, but it's a status symbol between companions, are you going to refuse?"

   "I didn't say I would refuse! But I also don't want to accept such favorable conditions for no reason!"

   As if thinking of something, Eiri suddenly had an idea and said bluntly:

   "Otherwise, that's fine! I can give you all the money that has been with my parents so far, and you will give me those shares when the time comes. What do you think?"

  Oh~

   Shi Yu, who was behind the desk, let out a chuckle and said something casually.

   "As expected of you, Sawamura, when you speak, there is a beauty that lacks a brainstem~ I am deeply admired."

   "Hey! What do you mean—!?"

   "It's nothing, it's literally, if you don't understand it, forget it."

   In the face of Shi Yu's inexplicable yin and yang anger, Ying Lili's mouth twitched in anger, she wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Kato Yusuke's voice.

   "Don't rush to get angry, just listen to me, Eiri."

   "What! That black-bellied girl is going to be mad! What are you talking about!"

  I didn't pay attention to her aggressive tone, Kato Yusuke said clearly:

   "Anyway, this studio will not accept any capital injection, and it will be the same for anyone, so this matter does not need to be mentioned again."

  The expressions of everyone who heard this were different, and they all heard the determination in his tone.

  Eriri couldn't help frowning, faintly aware that the atmosphere seemed to be a little different, but she didn't know what went wrong.

   But without waiting for her to think deeply, Kato Yusuke continued.

   "There is also Ying Lili, if you still find it difficult to accept this, you might as well discuss it with your parents when you get home, and then give me an answer."

   "I want to ask a question!"

"what is the problem?"

   "I didn't see the budget on that game plan, did you forget to write it?"

   "I'll never forget that kind of thing... But this time, the conditions are much looser than before, so let's see what happens."

   "What do you mean by that?" Ying Riri frowned, disliking this kind of general statement.

   Although the others did not speak, it seemed that they were not completely curious, judging from some vague feelings.

   Kato Yusuke didn't have any intention of selling out, so he just answered directly.

  “I mean, considering the deviation and flexibility that may occur during the period, there is no way to give a specific budget.

   But if it is only an approximate range, the upper limit on my side is 40 million, and it will not exceed this number. "

  The office was as silent as a heavy snowfall.

   But immediately, someone broke the silence.

"--What did you say!?"

  An Yilun also jumped up from the sofa and shouted, "Our game plan has a budget of 40 million-!?!?"

  ding~!

  Like a slot machine, two money symbols suddenly appeared in his eyes.

   Taking his behavior as an opportunity, someone else made a joint reaction.

   "Clap"!

   A paper fan made of thick newspaper folded from out of nowhere slammed into his face.

   "Pfft! It hurts—!?"

   "—What is our game plan! You shameless fellow! Can you stop embarrassing yourself?" Eri scolded loudly.

   "I'm clearly a member of this team!? And even so! You don't need to beat me so hard!?"

   "Ah, is that so, sorry, my hand slipped."

   "This is too perfunctory!?!?" An Yilun also covered his face, and complained with all his strength.

   However, Eiri was too lazy to pay attention to him, and just looked at Kato Yusuke.

   "And you too, Yusuke!"

   She said worriedly: "Are you serious about the budget you just said? It's almost all the money you can spend now, right?"

   "I have a measure."

   "No, what a sense of proportion! What if I lose..."

   Before she could finish speaking, Kato Yusuke interrupted her directly.

   "If the sales of the game are not good at the end, if I lose, not only will I go bankrupt, but you will also not be able to get the money. Are you willing to accept such a contract?"

  Eriri, who was suddenly interrupted, was stunned for a moment and forgot to react for a while.

at this time…

  Swish, duh.

   "Well, I don't know what to do next, but this should be fine, right? Yusuke."

   Megumin said that with a calm expression, and handed the signed contract back to Yusuke Kato.

   But Kato Yusuke only took one of them, and asked her to keep the other.

   So far, the first contract has been confirmed.

   followed.

   "Tsk, you are always subtle and good at timing, Kato-san. You can't be underestimated."

   Shi Yu said with a look of fear, and also returned his contract to Kato Yusuke.

   "...Ah, um, um, I wanted to ask Kasugaoksenpai what the timing was, but that's fine."

   Megumi, whose name was called, was briefly confused, but soon stopped worrying.

   "...You did it on purpose! Do you just want to be number one?"

   "First...? Ah, so, shouldn't I wait for Kasugaoksenpai to hand over the contract first?"

   "Kato-san, you really are..."

   "The next one is Ying Pear~"

   Anyway, the second contract was confirmed.

   However, there was no signature on the second contract, because Yusuke and Shiyu had discussed it in advance.

   In order to avoid any accidents, this contract with Shi Yu will not be officially signed until the end of her contract with Undead River.

   Everything is for the sake of safety, so there are no contradictions or special reasons.

   "Mei, Kasumi Hill Shiyu...you guys..."

   Witnessing all the changes, Eiri opened her eyes slightly, and her expression seemed a little surprised.

"So…"

   Kato Yusuke coughed lightly and asked her, "What are you going to do? Eiri, do you need to think about it for a few more days?"

   "Considering...how many days...?"

   "Like I said, you can go back and discuss it with your parents."

"Well…?"

   In Ying Lili's hesitation, An Yi Lun touched her arm with his elbow and reminded in a low voice.

   "Hey, Eiri, what are you hesitating about? Why don't you just sign your name?"

   "Ah, I got it! In short, just sign on it! I didn't say not to sign, why are you all like this?"

  Eriri said unhappily, but after all, she signed the contract, affixed her own seal, and returned a copy of it to Yusuke Kato.

  With the three contracts, the studio matters are also settled.

   Kato Yusuke held the contract, his eyes swept across the faces of the three girls who had special meanings to him, then he smiled heartily, and said in a sincere tone:

   "Thank you for your willingness to trust me, let us continue to give more advice in the future.

  —Mei, Shi Yu-senpai, Ying Lili. "

   In the face of his remarks, the reactions of the three girls were also very different.

  Mei lowered the corners of his eyes slightly and gave him a clear, shallow smile.

   Shi Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, with a faint smile on the corners of his beautiful lips, admiring him as if he was admiring the treasures.

  Eriri turned her face away awkwardly, her delicate chin raised slightly arrogantly, but she couldn't help peeking at him from the corner of her eye.

  Although the personalities of the three are different, everyone looks at him with trust and closeness in their eyes, which condenses the various experiences since getting along with him.

   There seems to be an invisible line connecting them together, forming a circle that cannot be easily stepped into by outsiders, with a faint sense of isolation.

  Xinjoxiang and An Yilun also watched this scene silently, each thinking in their hearts, but no one said a word.

  The former took out a lollipop from his pocket, unpacked it, and ate it.

  The latter lowered his head deeply, the lenses of the black-rimmed glasses reflected white light, making it difficult to see his expression, but his brows were deeply wrinkled, and he didn't know what he was thinking...
