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

Chapter 253 Arrested and Anti-Arrested
Let go of the trio who are inexplicably immersed in a certain emotion and involve others in it without authorization.

After telling Shiba-senpai that he was going to tell the organizing committee to leave, Kato Yusuke walked alone in the flow of people.

In his mind, he was thinking about what the girl said later.

What he was talking about was not the invitation to visit the exhibition together in the next half day, but the matter mentioned by the other party about taking a business case.

The specific quotation is about [-] yen per piece, but it is clear from the girl's tone that there is still room for a certain increase, but a detailed interview will be required at that time.

The consignment plan of the bookstore, the follow-up series of the book, the commission of the business proposal of the editorial department of Undead River, the invitation of a certain otaku to make games...

While thinking about this, he also quickened his pace a little.While running isn't allowed in the arena, race walking is fine...if you can walk through crowds.

'Let's contact Ying Lili later. '

The boy thought so.

◇

"...Eri Pear?"

"...Hey! You've got the wrong person."

Loose suspenders are paired with a plain white T-shirt without a pattern.The tightly tied hair is covered with a large hat, and black-rimmed glasses are worn on the face.

That attire is very suitable for this venue, like a drop of water flowing into a pool, it doesn't look obtrusive at all.

It is even more natural than a certain crumb that is amplified in the current environment, and the whole person exudes a sense of roundness that is integrated with the atmosphere of Comiket.

"That must be a superb skill honed after countless times of participating in exhibitions and disguises." - Kato Yusuke thought casually.

It's just that this outfit doesn't match its owner to the point of despair.

Through the gap in the other party's hair covered with a hat, a bright golden hairline was squeezed out a little...

Coupled with that pretentious demeanor and recognizable voice, all doubts are completely resolved.

Kato Yusuke then asked directly: "——what are you doing here?"

The tone was as determined as if he didn't think anything else at all, so the girl's defense was completely useless, so she had to give up resistance and obediently "catch her without a fight".

"How did you recognize it..." Ying Lili murmured softly, then cleared her throat and said, "...In short, I'm queuing up everywhere to sweep the goods. Since you're here, please help me carry the notebook."

After finishing speaking, two heavy shopping bags were directly stuffed into someone's hands.

After transferring the burden in this way, the girl became as light as a swallow again, and her steps were light.

"Yeah~~ My shoulders feel relaxed all of a sudden! Come with me, and I'm going to the next booth."

"I said you... the basis of the dialogue is based on the back and forth interaction. Before ordering others, shouldn't you answer my question first? Ying Lili."

"Huh? That's fine~ But in order to save time, it's okay to leave the conversation on the way, right?"

Ying Lili, who was walking in front, looked back at him, urging from her slightly squinted eyes, trying to push his steps with her eyes.

If it is the usual Kato Yusuke.

Faced with Ying Lili's inexplicable and self-contained behavior, he will most likely give him a small punishment for his overbearing attitude first, and then he will help the follow-up matters according to the situation.

However, because he happened to have something to ask the other party today, he simply skipped this step, and walked forward quickly with a shopping bag full of spoils, walking side by side with the other party.

Swish Swish, Swish Swish.

The hard paper shopping bag, which weighs about a dozen Mandarin dictionaries, rubbed against the sides of the jeans.

Kato Yusuke asked, "So when did you come? Besides, this outfit...shouldn't you wear it on purpose to avoid the club?"

"It was almost seven o'clock in the morning when I came, but it looked like you hadn't arrived at that time. As for the latter question, why do I have to avoid my own club? This is only to prevent the entanglement of stalkers. of."

Ying Lili explained calmly.

Although the indifferent tone that seemed to be stating the facts may sound a little flattering, but considering the true appearance and the current environment that it concealed, it was so powerful that it made people speechless.

After the girl finished speaking, she glanced at him unintentionally, and continued to speak.

"Well... If you have a problem with this, I can take off the hat, but if you encounter any troubles at that time, it will be up to you to solve it."

"Obviously except for his appearance, he is similar to an ordinary elementary school student?" Kato Yusuke commented in a low voice.

"——What did you say??" Ying Lili's face changed instantly, and her whole body was like a wild cat with fried fur, showing a fierce look.

"I have delicious dried fish here, do you want to eat it?"

"Aha!?"

"It's really delicious, try it." Kato Yusuke, who freed one hand, turned his palm over, and handed over a bag of small dried fish the size of a palm.

"Wait, where did you get this thing from??"

"That's not important. Anyway, you eat first. I have something to ask you."

"...What, it's inexplicable." Ying Lili muttered.

Maybe it was out of curiosity, maybe it was because she had nothing to do, after all, she decided to taste it with a mentality of giving it a try.

Hiss, whoosh——

Chew chew, chew chew.

"...Well—so-so." The girl said, and then took another small dried fish and ate it.

Yusuke Kato declined to comment.

While the girl was happily eating snacks, he told her all the things he had thought about earlier.

"...That's roughly the case, so what do you think?"

"Hey... so that kind of thing happened."

Ying Lili, who put her finger in her mouth, sucked the salt on it, and squinted over.

"It's Benizaka Zhuyin and you're from the Undead River editorial department. You've gradually grown up too. It's great~ you're so popular."

"To prevent misunderstanding, let me ask in advance, is this jealousy?"

"certainly not--!"

"Well, I think so. After all, you are that Eri Kashiwagi-sensei."

"Tsk~ boring flattery."

The blown hair was smoothed out in an instant, the girl snorted softly, turned her head to one side, and cleared her throat.

"In short, I understand what you just said. I have asked my mother to help with the consignment of the bookstore, so you don't have to worry, the money will be transferred to the account under your name regularly.

Then came the book sequel and commercial illustration commissions.Although I won't tell you not to accept the case, but from my point of view, it's better to focus on the former at this time. After all, the response on the Internet is pretty good. It would be too wasteful not to make a fortune now. up.As for the latter..."

Ying Lili paused temporarily when she said this, and then continued with a pointed tone.

"If you have confidence in your own progress, it's not that you can't consider taking over other business projects at the same time. It's just that generally speaking, unless you can sign a contract with the other party, the quotations of most freelance artists are generally not too high."

"Is that so...I know."

Kato Yusuke nodded slowly, with a conclusion in his mind.

Unknowingly, the two had already walked to the island area of ​​the venue, and stopped at the end of the line in front of a booth.

As soon as the seat was lined up, someone behind him immediately lined up.

'About 40 minutes or so will do. After observing the number of people in the team, he thought to himself, and then asked the girl, "Is there anything special about this club?"

Eriri, who swallowed the dried fish in her mouth, nodded, and said sternly: "Fumio Sagano of "cutie fake" is a college student studying at a university in Tokyo.A very feminine scumbag, it is said that he often associates with many women and has constant disputes between his girlfriends.However, the cute picture is surprisingly well drawn, so it is worthy of attention. "

"...? Leaving aside the countless flaws in it, how did you know these things?"

""cutie fake"'s official website and 2ch's doujin section. "

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Huh? Didn't you first ask me what's special about this club? I'm just telling you what I know. Is there any problem?" The girl asked with a puzzled look.

Kato Yusuke returned a strange look, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

But Ying Lili continued to speak.

"Speaking of which, the one next to you on the first day of the event was Ena Ibuki, right?"

A picture of using an oil-based pen to ask for an autograph on clothes suddenly came to mind.

Kato Yusuke responded: "That's it, what's wrong?"

"Did you say hello to her?"

"When exchanging business cards, just say a few words."

"Hmm~~~What, that person is a big beauty, right?" Ying Lili raised the corners of her mouth meaningfully.

Thinking of the lively scene of the neighboring booth being crowded that day, Kato Yusuke did not deny it, "Is that teacher very popular?"

"There are also her posts in the fan forum. As for popularity, I think you should have seen it yourself."

Speaking of this, Ying Lili suddenly came forward and whispered in his ear: "But what everyone doesn't know is that that person is already married, and the male representative next to her in the club is her husband. "

The faint breath caressed the ears, and the girl's voice carried a childish joy of sharing secrets, and then she distanced herself and joked: "How? Is the illusion suddenly shattered?"

Kato Yusuke scratched his ears, "I won't ask how you know, after all, I'm not her fan. But don't you think it's more interesting to keep it and not talk about it even if you know it?"

"If the female writer's community representative is a man, that person is generally a boyfriend or husband. My mother said that more than [-]% of the people she knew before were like that."

"Well, so the problem lies with Aunt Sayuri..."

"On the other hand, more than [-]% of those female cosplayers who are always hanging out with male writers are girlfriends or wicked wives..."

"No, so you don't need to point it out. If you let those fans hear it, there will be problems, right?"

"That's why I won't take care of the booth with you, otherwise, what if someone misunderstands you?"

"Well... sorry, no matter how you look at it, you look like you are making excuses for yourself."

While chatting about these things, the two slowly followed the team.
