Reborn in Tokyo after picking up Sayu who ran away from home

Chapter 242 Three Days Two Nights (6)

In response to the incident of the maid and the chef asking for leave, the two discussed in the kitchen.

"So—not only lunch, but also dinner, we all need to solve it by ourselves. By the way, I have already eaten breakfast. Although I bought your share, I can't give it to you because you slept too long. You stayed."

"Buy it?"

"Well, called McDonald's."

"Then why don't you order takeout for lunch? Isn't Matsuya and Yoshinoya and the like also very convenient, or continue to eat pizza like the day before yesterday."

Faced with this question, Ying Lili glanced at him with some displeasure, "I said you, after talking so much here, you actually don't believe my craftsmanship at all?"

So Kato Yusuke also bluntly said: "Then do you have cooking experience before?"

"Relax—"

The girl turned her eyes away and said, "At least I passed the home economics class."

Yusuke responded in a dull tone: "...No, I can't feel at ease when you say that, and why do you want to avoid other people's eyes."

What they got in exchange was a rather imposing declaration from the other party.

"Noisy, noisy to death!"

Ying Lili raised the things in her hands high, "As long as you follow the method on this universal recipe left by mother, you can definitely make delicious dishes! Just wait for me! It will definitely make you happy I yelled out "oh hoo" when I ate it——! "

"No, that kind of strange name will never be called again." Kato Yusuke, who waved his hand, continued to read: "And don't you feel ashamed to say it like this?"

"You can shut up~~~~!"

Accompanied by the fierce marching song composed of metal products, the time came one hour later.

"Come on, let's eat."

"What is this?"

"Omelet."

"So it's not scrambled eggs with cuttlefish ink?"

"... creak."

"Then what is this one?"

"Burger meat."

"Grilled?"

"... creaking."

After looking away from the two so dark things that it was difficult to distinguish their bodies, Kato Yusuke's eyes came to the third thing.

"this is--"

"It's rice, rice! Is there a problem!?"

"No, I just thought this looked good, so I started."

"Crack..."

"Yinglili...the rice is stuffed with raw food."

"... creak creak."

Probably some kind of emotion reached the limit, so the girl slapped the table hard, and said loudly: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

"Like an 'oh hoo' kind of thing? " Kato Yusuke, who was chewing his rice, said so, which further aroused the other party's anger more smoothly.

"You, you...!"

Ying Lili's body began to tremble slightly, and her porcelain-like delicate cheeks showed a little shame and anger and turned bright red, forming a strong contrast with the small canine teeth at the corners of her mouth.

It wasn't until after seeing the tendency of the golden twin ponytails to move around, that Yusuke, who was reminded of some bad memories, finally said: "In short-although I understand that you have worked hard, but let me do the rest Well... if you insist on not ordering takeaway."

After speaking, he got up from his seat and went to search in the locker in the kitchen.

Soon he found something that could be used, and then he cast his eyes on the girl who was still standing there, raised the thing in his hand and said, "A good news or a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" ?”

"..."

The other party didn't say a word, just wrinkled his face and stared at him with all his strength, as if expressing his resistance.

So Kato Yusuke said to himself: "As you can see, the good news is that I found instant noodles in the cabinet, and the bad news is that there seems to be only spicy noodles left in your house. Although I am not good at cooking like you, But I can still make this level of food, so do you want to eat it?"

Ying Lili still didn't speak, but turned her head with a "hum".

"Since you didn't refuse, I'll take it as your agreement." Someone announced, and then went to boil water with a pot.

Instant noodles are good friends of insomniacs.

Water boils at 100 degrees, but it will evaporate the aroma of noodles.

The noodles are cooked in 3 minutes, but they are most springy when they are not fully cooked.

Perfection only exists in a moment, and numbers can help infinitely approach this moment wwww.

So let the noodles simmer in hot water heated to about 96 degrees for 2 minutes and 56 seconds, then blanch the water, pour in the seasoning and stir well, then pour the hot water into the noodles again and let it stand for 3 minutes.

Tick ​​tick
Tick ​​tick
During this quiet passage of time, an inexplicable serious atmosphere quietly enveloped the room, making a certain girl couldn't help but want to speak to break the silence, but was suppressed by Kato Yusuke's silent gesture.

Tick ​​tick
Tick ​​tick
When the second hand was about to reach the moment of 12 on the scale, Yusuke put a poached egg in each of the two bowls according to the time.

"Okay, eat quickly!"

"Huh? Ah, oh... oh, I see..."

Captured by his seriousness, Ying Lili subconsciously chose to obey, and then hurriedly picked up chopsticks to eat noodles.

The noodles wrapped in soup spread out in the mouth, the taste is chewy and springy, and the taste is rich and delicious.Even the spicy smell slowly spreading from the nasal cavity has a long aftertaste, making people feel warm.

"Hiss... so spicy, but delicious." As she spoke, she picked up another cloud-shaped poached egg and took another bite.

As a result, the half-cooked golden egg liquid flowed out from the cute little gap, and blended with the bright red soup, making it even more beautiful.

No need to be reminded, the girl spontaneously took the initiative to eat.

As for Kato Yusuke, who showed his skills with the golden instant noodle method, he sat across from him with his share, and started talking while eating.

"Speaking of which, I've been curious about one thing. Can you tell me about your specific process of creating manga? Yinglili."

Slurp snort, snort snooze.

"Hmm...? Why would I do such a thing?"

Hurrah, hiss...

"Just treat it as a small talk, anyway, you are very free now, aren't you?"

Ying Lili, who heard this, glanced at him.

"...My words basically start with the idea of ​​the subject. First, imagine the content and material that you want to draw in your mind, such as "shock stick", "strike stock" and so on...the theme is settled like this .

Then, take 2 to 4 pages as a unit to think about the lines and the desired composition.After the general decision is made, I start to draw the original draft. "

The girl continued to weave words.

"...Hiss...Then is the storyboard. Usually, I will first fill in the lines after the grid is divided. Next, I will start to draw a draft and outline the storyboard I want to draw. Ah, if I have a right-hand assistant, here it is. The stroke can be omitted.

After the stroke is completed, complete each subsequent shot in order, which will give a more realistic sense of progress, and then repeat...hiss...until it's finished...well. "

"Drink some water." Kato Yusuke, who heard this, handed her a glass of water.

"Thank you." After receiving the water, she immediately drank it in one gulp, her ruddy face showing expressions of "alive" and "saved".

While resting his chin with one hand, he gently rubbed the mouth of the cup with his fingers to make a slight "squeak" sound. This movement is full of girl's unique softness.

"Also—after all the text is done, I usually show it to my mother to discuss whether there are any lines that need to be revised...finally go through it myself."

Ying Lili said in conclusion: "Well... that's basically it. If it's a color version, add another coloring step, um - this step can also be handed over to the assistant."

"I see. Thank you for your explanation, it's very detailed." Kato Yusuke nodded with some gain.

"Yeah, it's not a big deal..." The girl turned her head unnaturally, staring at where she was.

I only heard Yusuke's words turn around: "But it sounds so organized, and the drawing is fast, why does Mr. Shanchuan complain on the phone that you are always rushing to the deadline?"

"Ding--"

With the crisp lingering sound echoing in her ears, Ying Lili silently withdrew her finger on the glass and muttered: "If I want to talk, I spend most of my time making up plots."

"Is that so."

Kato Yusuke responded as if understanding: "Speaking of the cover image of "The Prism of That Snow" I put on your desk yesterday, which one did you choose in the end?"

"Are you referring to the five pictures of "Haruki vs Yukina", "Haruki vs Kazusa", "Haruki vs Duo", "Huang Mao vs Duo", and "Yukina vs Kasa"? "

The girl said in a strange tone: "It's really thanks to you that you can draw so many branch routes."

"After all, I don't know what kind of development you would like, so that's the only way... So in the end, which one did you send to Mr. Shanchuan?"

"Well, about this... Well, I haven't decided yet..."

"What—??" Kato Yusuke suddenly raised his voice.

And Ying Lili hurriedly remedied: "Ah, but don't worry, I have already contacted Mr. Shanchuan, although it was a bit difficult, but the other party agreed to extend the deadline until before work tomorrow morning, only to hand in the feature part together. "

"...I said you—"

"When will I become more mature?" - Yusuke couldn't help thinking this way, but when the words came to his mouth, he changed into another way.

"...No, nothing."

He considered his words and said, "So have you come to a conclusion now? Since you have promised others, you must abide by the agreement."

"Well, I know...although I don't know which version I will choose in the end, but at least I will try to think about the lines and the composition I want...so that...is..."

The girl silently lowered her head, tightly intertwined her hands, and asked in a low voice: "Before that, would you... stay with me for a while...?"

The voice of speaking is getting smaller and smaller, and the back is almost inaudible, so even if she can't get a response, it is her own problem.

The room suddenly fell silent.

In this short time of only a dozen seconds in reality, to Ying Lili, it seems to last many times as long.

Just when she was a little overwhelmed, Kato Yusuke on the opposite side suddenly said, "Well, after all, that's why I came here, didn't I?"

The moment the gentle voice reached her ears, the girl's pupils flickered like candlelight, and her body slowly warmed up.

Then he muttered in a muffled voice: "...Thank you..."

In exchange, the person on the other side asked: "Thank you, thank you, but what do you mean by kicking someone's calf?"

"Hmph~~~ I don't know."
