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

Chapter 418 Trivial Daily Life

At seven o'clock on Friday night, Yusuke Kato received a call from the Immortal River comic department.

On the phone, Kimura first apologized for the trouble at night, and then praised the results of "The Chainsaw Man" a little bit, and then got down to business, discussing with him about the layout of the next issue.

The entire phone call lasted a total of 15 minutes, of which only 3 minutes were spent on business. If those euphemistic and useless polite words were thrown away, it would basically be over in just 1 minute.

Kato Yusuke didn't like this kind of way of speaking that contained too much foreshadowing, but he didn't interrupt, but listened quietly for a whole.

In general.

The other party explained to him the situation of "Toe Juggernaut", as well as the reasons and reasons for jumping the queue in the next issue, and the words were very respectful.

Finally, he mentioned the old Suzuki editor's great love for him, and asked him to prepare an illustration in his spare time and send it as the cover of that issue.

There is nothing else.

After finishing the call, Yusuke Kato put away his mobile phone, turned around and walked into the Yakiniku shop behind him, and returned to a certain seat in front of the bar.

Yoshida, who was wearing a shirt, was sitting here. When he saw him coming back, he asked, "What's the matter? Is it my family's phone number?"

"No, it's work."

"Work?"

"Ah."

"Oh, oh, by the way, you did say that you were the student council president last time."

Kato Yusuke thought for a while, this understanding was a bit wrong, but the explanation here was a bit like showing off, so he didn't correct the other party.

The place where the two are located is a chain roasted bird restaurant two streets away from home.

For some unknown reason, Yoshida knocked on the door after get off work and invited him to have dinner together. Yusuke, who was alone at home, had no reason to refuse, so the two came here together.

A male clerk with his uniform on his chest and a headscarf wrapped around his head brought menus to the two and asked, "What would you like to order?"

"I'd like a glass of draft beer, where's Brother Kato?"

"Oolong tea."

"Then what about the food?"

"Mr. Yoshida, you can decide."

"That's eight skewers of fat sausage, eight skewers of native chicken, eight skewers of fried beef, eight skewers of chicken and green onions, eight skewers of pork belly, four skewers of salt cabbage and four skewers of sauced cabbage."

"Okay!" The clerk replied energetically, and reported the order to the grill master behind the bar.

Draft beer, oolong tea and cabbage were quickly served.

Yoshida picked up the large glass, downed half a glass of beer in one gulp with relish, and then let out a lazy cry of "poof", and subconsciously stretched his hand into the pocket of his trousers, but when he stretched halfway, he stopped. stop.

"It doesn't matter if you can smoke." Kato Yusuke said in a timely manner: "I don't mind this, and there are people smoking beside me."

Yoshida glanced at the office worker next to him, but still didn't take out the cigarettes in his pocket, but picked up a bunch of cabbages and ate them.

"You seem to be in a better state recently than before. Have you solved your troubles? Brother Kato."

Kato Yusuke went through the recent events in his mind, and hummed, which was regarded as a response.

"That's it, that's good." Yoshida said as if he was relieved.

"—I kept you two waiting for a long time!"

The clerk came over and brought over the other skewers ordered by the two, and then put the matching dipping sauce in front of them.

There are three kinds of dipping sauces, namely special dipping sauce, yellow mustard and special miso.

Kato Yusuke took a bunch of fatty sausages, dipped them in a special dipping sauce with garlic paste, and took a bite.

The taste of the large intestine is very soft, and it tastes very smooth without any fishy smell.

"About the things you told me last time..."

"Last time?"

"Uh, uh." Yoshida coughed vaguely, and said, "It's about Ms. Goto. She asked me about Mishima's work yesterday."

"So today we're going to talk about Yoshida-san's crush?"

"...No, just talking casually, sorry, if you don't want to hear it, forget it." Yoshida said, picked up a bunch of local chicken skewers, dipped them in yellow mustard, and ate them as if to cover up.

Kato Yusuke also picked up a skewer of chicken and green onion, and asked while eating: "Is there something wrong with that Goto-san?"

"...Is there something wrong or something? According to what you said last time, I have given Mishima a little more guidance recently. As a result, Ms. Goto seems to be quite concerned about Mishima's situation? "

"Why is it an interrogative sentence?"

"Well... Maybe I misunderstood, but I just think Miss Goto's appearance is a bit strange, as if she is not just concerned about Mishima's work."

"So Mr. Yoshida thinks that Ms. Goto is jealous."

"Puff, cough, cough...I say you—"

Yoshida seemed to be choked by his words, quickly picked up the beer in hand and took a few sips, and then blushed and spoke.

"It's all because of the strange things I said to you a while ago, so I couldn't help but think about that... But when I think about it carefully, Ms. Goto should really only care about work, huh."

After that, he continued to eat the skewers, as if convincing himself.

Kato Yusuke glanced at him, and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Yoshida, what do you do?"

"...Uh? I'm in charge of programming and software development. Why do you ask that all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly understood."

"Huh? Understand what?"

"Mr. Yoshida may not know much about girls."

"—What?" Yoshida frowned obviously, and said dissatisfied: "Why did you come to such a conclusion? Besides, Ms. Goto is a mature woman, and the word girl is not used correctly."

Is the problem here...

Kato Yusuke silently raised the level of straightness towards this neighbor, and said: "As for the question that Mr. Yoshida just said, if you are not sure, why not try asking Ms. Goto for dinner."

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence: "By the way, I mean the kind where the two of you are alone."

"Huh? Why are you emphasizing it? No, wouldn't it be a date if you invite Ms. Goto like that!?"

"...Is this something that should surprise you so much?"

"Surprised..." Yoshida opened his eyes in astonishment, and then seemed to become angry again, grabbed a bunch of fried beef and ate it, muttering while eating.

"You are still a student, so you speak as if you understand it well..."

"I just know a little better than Mr. Yoshida."

Creaking and creaking, Yoshida ate the skewers silently. He was a little entangled by his understatement, and couldn't help asking: "The question is, how to send out the invitation?"

"...Basically, I usually belong to the invited party, but it's still a bit..."

Kato Yusuke didn't know how to speak, thought for a while and said, "If you want to say something, just invite the other party just like you invited me, wouldn't it be enough?"

"No. These two things are different!"

Yoshida scratched his cheeks unnaturally, picked up the beer with some embarrassment, and whispered: "Basically, a man invites a woman to dinner alone. This is already a clear expression of my interest in you...?"

"...Just having a meal makes you so nervous, so when you meet the people behind you, send them home, and go upstairs for coffee, are you really okay, Mr. Yoshida?"

"Drink, drink coffee—!?"

"Hmm...here's a facial tissue, let's wipe it off first." Kato Yusuke took out a facial tissue from the table and motioned him to wipe off a little beer that had splashed out due to shaking hands.

"Hold, I'm sorry!" Yoshida reached out to take the paper, and frantically wiped it on his pants.

After tidying up...

"Excuse me, please add four skewers of lion tang green peppers, four skewers of baked bean curd with mashed radish, a grilled rice ball and a glass of draft beer."

"no problem--!"

Yoshida added more food to the clerk, as if to cover up his embarrassment just now.

"Have you finished ordering so much?" Kato Yusuke asked.

"Huh? Shouldn't male high school students have a stronger appetite?"

"Then let's wait for the AA system."

"No need, don't underestimate single social animals! My savings are not enough to afford to invite a brat to eat!"

Yoshida dismissed his proposal involuntarily, then pursed his lips, and said forcefully, "There is also the topic just now, going to Ms. Goto's house for coffee... Do you think it is possible to get to that point?"

"--impossible."

"You denied it too quickly, right?"

"Mr. Yoshida, I think we should start by having the courage to invite Ms. Goto to dinner."

"... Sure enough."

"Ah."

Seeing that he was a little frustrated and hesitant for a while, Kato Yusuke thought about it again.

"Mr. Yoshida, you do programming, right?"

"Huh? Ah, um, what's wrong?"

"Then maybe you can think about it differently."

"What do you mean?"

"Take the bug in the program as an example. If you leave it alone, the program will not run successfully, right?"

"Huh? Isn't it natural?"

"That's why Ms. Goto is the same. If you don't fight for it because you are afraid of falling out of love, you won't have a day of enjoying love."

"...!"

Yoshida couldn't help but froze in place, then frowned and fell into thought, as if he had tasted the taste of love.

After that, the two chatted about some topics casually, then drank the signature red miso soup in the store, and returned to the old apartment together after drinking and eating.

When the two came back, they happened to meet Mami who was about to go out, so they chatted briefly.

The people who spoke were mainly Yoshida and Asami, and Kato Yusuke listened more from the sidelines.

After the last visit, Mami, who is extroverted, has known Yoshida, and because of the common bond of Yusuke, they have become familiar with each other.

The girl wore glasses, and she still spoke with that hot girl accent, but with a little more refined temperament.

"Speaking of which, Mami is about to take the exam, right? Has the university been chosen yet?"

When Yoshida asked about this topic, he joked about the convenience.

"The question Yoshida asked is too old! Of course, that kind of thing has been decided long ago."

"Yes, yes, that's what you said, sorry."

"Hahahahaha, there's no need to apologize. After all, Yoshida Tsai is already an uncle, so it's normal if he doesn't remember things in high school."

Saying this, Asami raised three fingers and said openly: "Tokyo University, Zao University, and Aoyama Gakuin, my volunteers are these three~~~"

"Wow, aren't those famous schools that are quite difficult to get into? Are you okay?"

"Wow, Yoshida, are you underestimating me? This is too much!"

"Uh, I'm sorry, I just didn't realize it..." Yoshida, who slipped his words for a moment, scratched the back of his head embarrassingly.

As for Mami, she waved her hand and continued: "Well~ don't look at me like this, the deviation value in school is also above 70? Do you understand?"

"It turned out to be a top student!"

"That's why it's superfluous to say 'unexpectedly'! But that's how it is, OK Ranch~!"

"This, so, um, then you have to study hard, and I wish you to be admitted to the university you want."

"You still need to say~ I'm just kidding, thank you. Ah, no, I have to go to the convenience store to buy things, so I won't tell you about it. See you next time, Yoshida, Kato."

Asami glanced at her watch, greeted them, and trotted away.

Kato Yusuke turned his head to look at Yoshida, and said, "...then I'll go back too, Mr. Yoshida."

"Well, you go up first, I'm smoking a cigarette outside." Yoshida nodded and said.

"it is good."

So he went back to the room first.

After returning to the room, I added water and food to the cat as usual, and cleaned up the cat litter.

Then he came to the desk, sat down, and turned on the pen display.

While thinking about Undead River, Kato Yusuke began to draw the cover illustrations to be used in the next issue.

The manuscripts for episodes 2 and 3 of "The Chainsaw Man" submitted to Undead Chuan last time totaled 47 pages, and the total manuscript fee received was 564000.

Among them, 15 yuan was given to Xintiaoxiang, 40 yuan was paid back to Ying Lili's family, and the rest was reserved for daily expenses.

According to current calculations, it would take him a long time to fully pay off the debt without exchanging system points for money.

Although Mrs. Sawamura did not urge, Kato Yusuke decided to speed up in order to pay off the debt as soon as possible.

With the manga of "Chain Saw Man" widely acclaimed and Benizaka Akane not interfering, he has no worries and can continue drawing freely.

Different from ordinary cartoon authors.

With complete resources in his mind, he does not need to think hard about the plot, discuss with the editor, and repeatedly modify the storyboard.

All he needs to do is to draw what is in his head, so naturally he will not be constrained too much in this regard, and the speed is far beyond what other people can match.

Perhaps the only question that needs to be considered is whether Undead Sichuan is willing to accept a large number of manuscripts at once.

Kato Yusuke decided to take the time to go to the Immortal River to discuss this issue with the manga department.

And what he didn't know was.

Because he was worried about his reaction, Kimura did not tell him that he wanted to arrange a reminder for him, but only wanted to discuss it after finding a specific candidate.

So there was a wonderful misunderstanding in it...
