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

Chapter 248 Those things behind the scenes (4000)

Like a flood that opened its gates, a turbulent crowd rushed in from outside.

That is hundreds of times the spectacular sight of the tram rush hour.

It was almost just a "wow", the venue that seemed empty just now was submerged by the dense flow of people in an instant.

What happened in an instant was even more unreal than the 38-degree temperature outside, like a mirage in the heat wave, illusory and ethereal.

"Please give me Mr. Kashiwagi Eri's new works, three, no, five copies of each!"

"Is there any giveaway for this event!?"

"Well, is the egoistic lily's team here?"

……

"What, what!?"

"Wow, what's going on with these people??"

"At least one by one, hey!"

Facing the swarming crowd, the Santo Group, who had never seen such a scene before, swallowed unconsciously, and instinctively took two steps back, obviously at a loss.

Even Shi Yu on the seat widened his eyes in astonishment, his brain went blank for a moment, and subconsciously grabbed the hem of the boy's clothes beside him.

Just when several people didn't know what to do, Kato Yusuke stood up from his seat decisively, and then raised his arms and shouted.

"The end of the egoistic lily line is not here! Customers who want to line up please go out to the left!
The gift of this event is the club promotion page designed by Mr. Eri Kashiwagi. In addition, if you buy the "Love Metronome Special Combination", you will get a limited full-color paper card from another artist.Thank you for your cooperation——! "

After speaking, he turned his attention to the trio who were forced to huddle together.

"Satou, Ito, you pay attention to maintaining order in the team, and pay attention to congestion. Saito, you only need to be responsible for unpacking. Come behind me."

"Yes, yes—!" x3
The three acted immediately.

"Guests who want to line up Kato-san please follow me, the end of the line is here——!"

"It's an egoistic lily, right? Stupid Sato!!"

"Yes, I'm sorry...!!"

Like loaches burrowing in the mud, the two people waving the sign struggled to squeeze outside.

"I'll leave the money collection to you, Shiba-senpai. Each person is limited to one leaflet, and the full-color paper card comes with the bonus."

"...Well! I see."

The steady and powerful voice continued to echo in the crowd.

Under Kato Yusuke's loud command, the scene was barely under control, and the people who were originally crowded in front of the booth gradually took shape as a team.

In view of his loud shouting.

For a moment, no matter whether he was in the "egoistic lily" line or not, everyone around him couldn't help but focus on him.

"...Huh? Is that person a model invited for the event?" A man at the booth next door murmured.

"No~ no. That little brother is Mr. Eri Kashiwagi's new partner, the "Mr. Eromanga" who became popular on Twitter a while ago. He is really handsome, right? "The long-haired woman in charge of the reception said touching her cheek with a gentle smile on her face.

"Eh... that's it. Sorry, I don't use Twitter much."

The man shook his head in a daze, and then immediately realized, "Ah! No! If you can, please help me sign the clothes, Mrs. Ibuki Erina!!"

As he spoke, he handed out a pen and stuck out his stomach. It was a short-sleeved T-shirt with cute and cute characters printed on it.

"Huh, but this is an oil-based pen, right? Is it really okay?" The woman who seemed to be also the author tilted her head and said.

"Yes! It's absolutely fine!! Rather, please do this by all means—!!"

"Is that...? Then I'll be rude~"

"Oh hoo~! Oh hoo~!"

Squeak, squeak.

The subtle sound of rubbing the pen tip was mixed with bursts of cries that made people blush inexplicably.

So the people in the back couldn't help but speak.

"Damn it, I want to—"

"And I!"

"I'm in trouble too!"

"Okay~ Everyone, please line up one by one."

……

But Shiyu's side is another scene.

"Eri Kashiwagi's works are five each, a total of [-] volumes... [-] yen for you, [-] yen for you, thank you for your patronage."

"Thank you, that, please sign here..."

"Shut up. The artist you're looking for isn't here, I'm just here to help, next one!"

……

"Eri Kashiwagi's works have three volumes each, a total of twelve volumes... [-] yen for you, [-] yen for you, next one."

"Thank, thank you...!"

"Saito-san, restock."

"Yes Yes!"

……

As Kato Yusuke said before, the number of people in line easily broke through triple digits at the beginning.Looking around, the long queue formed by the crowd has reached tens of meters, and it is still growing with new entrants.

Until the time when I don't know who is the number or dozens of people...

"—Please give me two copies of Mr. Eri Kashiwagi's works."

"..."

Facing the request made by the men in line, Shiyu did not prepare the goods as before, but raised his head and asked.

"I remember that you were among the group of people who entered the venue earlier, right?"

"Uh...? Are there any questions?"

"No, it's just that you don't want to see really excellent works compared to those authors with a stable style of painting? For example, the works of Mr. Eromanga here."

"Even if you say so..."

The man rubbed the back of his head in distress and said, "But compared to that short-lived Eromanga, Eri Kashiwagi's works are more valuable on the Internet. Everyone thinks so."

"So it turns out, it seems that the so-called doujin speculators are nothing more than a group of blindly following the crowd with no vision."——Just when Shiyu couldn't help but want to say that, a voice interrupted immediately Come in.

"You want two copies of Mr. Kashiwagi Eri's works, right? The total is 9000 and [-] yen. I will charge you [-] yen and find you [-] yen. Thank you for your patronage!"

Saying so, Kato Yusuke seriously handed over what the other party wanted, without the slightest negative emotion on his face because his work could not be sold.

You must know that by now, Saito is almost ready to unpack the third box of works belonging to Eriri, and his works are still in a state of being unsold.

Even with the temptation of full-color paper cards, the people in front of them still showed a lack of interest, so that Shi Yu couldn't help but secretly became anxious.

After the man who had snatched the merchandise walked away with a satisfied face, she stretched out her hand and pulled the boy beside him who was slightly bowing and watching him off.

"Is this really okay? Kato-kun."

Kato Yusuke then turned around and said: "There is nothing wrong with it. What the other party said is the truth. Even if it were me, I would probably do it differently, so don't worry about it. Let's continue."

After speaking, he returned to the reception work.

So Shi Yu couldn't say anything more, but quietly cooperated with the other party.

And in a meeting room on the second floor, this scene was unreservedly caught by someone.

"...Psychological quality is pretty good. Does it belong to the type that won't be overwhelmed by pressure? It seems that it can grow into a monster with a little training."

The woman with her hands on the railing said so, looking at the boy below as if she was looking at a piece of unpolished jade whose brilliance could not be concealed without polishing, with a cheerful smile on her face.

Probably due to the hot weather, the black suit he was wearing had now been draped over his body, revealing his slender curves inside.

Paired with a dark waistcoat vest, it will naturally exude a strong temperament of a royal sister.

It makes people feel invisible that they seem to be a head shorter than the other party.

The man standing beside him couldn't help but tugged at the tie around his neck with some discomfort, and then he thought about his words and said, "May I ask why you came to me? Miss Benizaka Zhuyin."

"Ah, that's right. There is indeed something I want to discuss with you."

Hongsaka Zhuyin turned around with a smile on her face, "Speaking of which, how many places on the poster wall have my club occupied this year? Chairman."

Although he didn't understand what the other party meant, the middle-aged man called the chairman still thought about it and responded: "If I remember correctly, there should be four places for "rouge en rouge" this time, and they are all quite conspicuous. , I wonder if you have any questions? "

"It's not a big deal, it's just that starting tomorrow, one of the contents will probably be changed, so I'll trouble the organizing committee then."

The man frowned slightly, "Although it's not impossible, but what content do you want to replace?"

Speaking of this, his tone became slightly hurried as if thinking of something: "Could it be that Ms. Zhu Yin has any new plans to do it herself? If that's the case, we are very happy to cooperate!"

But Hongsaka Zhuyin waved her hand boredly.

"Ah? It's not that kind of thing. Although I do have a big plan in hand, it is still in the preparation stage. It will take at least a year to actually implement it, so it has nothing to do with this time. relation."

Even though she knew that what the other party wanted to hear was not these, she still continued to speak.

"The "egoistic lily" of No. A28b, give them the poster wall on the left side of the entrance of the East Building, and let the little devil named "Eromanga" submit a work, and the fee will be counted on my head. "

"This seems...not in line with the rules."

The man frowned deeply and said, "Although "egoistic lily" is considered a popular club, there are clubs of the same level as them.If you give them that position without authorization, it may cause dissatisfaction among others. "

"That kind of thing doesn't matter, the big deal is just to let out the news secretly that "this is the personal behavior of that Benizaka Akane, and the organizing committee just has no choice but to cooperate", so that you don't have any pressure, right? "

"Say so."

The man couldn't help but smiled wryly, "But in a sense, isn't this equivalent to admitting in disguise that we acquiesce in this kind of thing?"

Benizaka Zhuyin made a gesture of holding a wine glass, "Hey, don't be so mother-in-law, or I will buy you a drink in the future, right?"

"That's not the problem...Miss Zhu Yin."

The scene was at a stalemate for a while.

Facing the reckless opponent, Benizaka Akane couldn't help but sighed deeply.

"This is really a pity. At first, I thought that if it was you, you would be able to easily coordinate such a trivial matter. Now it seems that the project in my hand can only be handed over to other publicity companies.

Speaking of which, my new club successor has been persuading me to put the main body in Nagoya, maybe it's time to think about this matter... Then I won't trouble you, chairman. "

After finishing speaking, he pretended to leave.

As soon as the words were finished, a nimble figure stood in front of her with a late attack.

"Ahem... Alas, young people, don't be so impatient. In fact, we can discuss this matter further, what do you think?"

A deep arc emerged from the corner of the vermilion mouth.

"it is good."

……

Kato Yusuke naturally didn't know what happened behind the scenes.

When they received the first guest, they finally met a person who pointed out the works of "Eri Kashiwagi" right away.

"Well, can I take a look at the works here?" The boy with a large two-dimensional style tote bag on his shoulder said, pointing to "Early Summer Time" on the table.

Even though the surrounding environment was extremely noisy, there was still a short period of silence at the scene.

"..."

Before Kato Yusuke could speak, Shiwa on the side couldn't help opening his mouth slightly, with the softest smile on his face since the opening.

"...Well, of course you can, not just this one, but you can read all the works of Mr. Eromanga carefully? Don't worry."

"Huh? Uh, thank you, thank you..." The boy nodded his head stiffly, looking a little shy.

On the other hand, Yusuke hurriedly said: "No, I'm really sorry for this guest, because there are still a lot of people queuing up, so I can only give you five...no, eight minutes. I hope you understand."

"Oh, that's it, I see."

Sato and Ito shouted "The tail of the team is here!" from outside.

After an hour or so, the line in front of their booth was not interrupted at all, and even formed a long queue of tens of meters on the periphery.

Facing the participants who were exposed to the scorching sun, Yusuke Kato, as the representative of the club, could not ignore the order that had been maintained so hard no matter what thoughts he had in his mind, and finally had to give an 8-minute time limit.

Fortunately, the boy didn't raise any dissatisfaction, so he quietly flipped through the book.

Swish, Swish, Swish.

Shua, Shua, Shua.

Accompanied by the slight sound of pages turning, time seemed to slow down in an instant.

No matter it was Shi Yu or Yusuke, the gazes of both of them involuntarily focused on the face of that plain-looking boy, as if there was some kind of attractive magic power on the other side's face.

Looking at the slower and slower movements of the boy's hands, an inexplicable tension also quietly filled the chests of the two of them.

Kato Yusuke held his breath for a while, Shiwa shook his legs for a while, and looked at him secretly for a while, but no one spoke.

finally--

Including the first and last pages, when the 24-page book was put down from the boy's hand.

Seeing that the other party let out a long breath as if suddenly losing strength, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead with the wet towel he carried with him, he kept shaking his head at them.

Shi Yu's pupils shrank suddenly, "I said you...!"

In the next second, a thick and full shout sounded in front of the booth.

"- NR (Tauren) or something! That's awesome! Yahoo!"

"……Eh--?"

Under Shi Yu's astonished gaze, the boy with a flushed face suddenly shook his voice.

"Please give me a copy of this teacher's notebook——!"

After finishing speaking, a bill with a face value of [-] yen was slapped heavily on the table.

Shi Yu suddenly became speechless.

Kato Yusuke, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief, with a sincere smile on Junyi's face.

"Thank you for your support, the total is [-] yen, and I will give you some change."

Looking at the banknote in his hand, he suddenly felt that it was the most pleasing [-] yen note.

The scorching sun shines high in the boundless sky, illuminating people warmly.

　Thanks to [Walnut My Treasure] and [Wu Wo] for their rewards.
