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

Chapter 432
"What? Could it be that your plan is worth [-] million?" Benizaka Zhuyin sneered after hearing his words.

"It's the copyright of "Chain Saw Man" plus that project."

Kato Yusuke first corrected her statement, and then affirmed: "As for that project, at least the final market size will not be less than 300 billion."

Crack, the sound of something falling to the ground sounded.

The two looked subconsciously, and saw the middle-aged man behind the bar smiling shyly, throwing the sushi he picked up into the trash can, and began to wash his hands.

"I said boy."

Benizaka Zhuyin sighed troubledly: "If you are sick or have a fever, go to the hospital. My place is not like that, and I don't know how to take care of people."

After finishing speaking, she turned around from the chair, leaned forward, fixed Yusuke's head with both hands, and pressed her forehead against his forehead.

"...What are you doing, isn't this also having a fever?"

When she backed away muttering in a low voice, a faint smell of alcohol floated into Kato Yusuke's nose, mixed with the scent of cosmetics.

Kato Yusuke took a look at her face, her impatient face was flushed with the blush after drinking, her skin was smooth and translucent, and she looked younger than before.

"I don't joke much."

Benizaka Zhuyin didn't return to her body, she just put her right elbow on the bar and raised her legs.

The soft skirt was lifted up, revealing the slender legs wrapped in black silk, the right foot pressed on it swayed slightly, and the five toes were close together, looming under the hazy black veil.

"I'm not kidding, so I'm just drawing a cake for me? The problem is that even if you lie, you have to tell basic logic, right?"

Kato Yusuke picked up the sea urchin sushi with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly.

"I don't need to lie to you about this kind of thing. Besides, a phenomenal work cannot be created by following logic. Whether it can achieve such a large scale and influence depends on your future operations. "

The fresh sea urchin seems to be beating in the mouth without any fishy smell.

Seeing that he has always insisted on this statement, Benizaka Zhuyin lowered his shoulders as if giving up, and said helplessly:

"Instead of talking about the project that disappeared, I think you should talk about "The Chainsaw Man" and try to convince me?"

"What I want to say...you like this work, don't you? Compared with money, it is more in line with your aesthetics and pursuit of challenge to make this interesting work rejuvenate in your own hands?"

"Hey~ You even used such a pretentious word as "aesthetics", are you flattering me?Or are you brainwashing me? "

"I'm just telling the truth...Also, if you can draw doujinshi before me and don't make trouble, I can try to flatter you."

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha--"

Hongsaka Zhuyin laughed loudly, and without thinking about it, she denied it: "No, don't even think about that."

She took a sip of the wine as she spoke, as if she found it very interesting, then glanced at Kato Yusuke's untouched glass, and asked, "Why don't you drink it?"

Kato Yusuke followed her gaze and responded calmly: "It's not too late for me to drink after we finish talking."

"Huh? You're so annoying, come and listen to me." Hongsaka Zhuyin hooked her fingers and motioned him to come closer, as if she had something to say.

Kato Yusuke did not doubt that there was him, after all, the person in front of him was an elusive person who could not be measured by common sense, so he tilted his face slightly and put his ear on it.

Benizaka Zhuyin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, stretched out his right hand to pick up his cup, poured the wine inside in one gulp, and put it in his mouth.

Then she hugged Yusuke's head again, and before he could react, she directly pressed her wine-wet red lips to his mouth, and passed the wine in her mouth.

— Goo, goo, goo, goo.

The middle-aged man's eyelids twitched twice when he caught sight of this scene from the corner of his eye, and immediately lowered his eyes, looking at his nose and heart, turning a blind eye to all this, turning a deaf ear to it, and just handling the grilled conger eel in his hand with peace of mind.

It lasted about three or four seconds.

"Puha." Benizaka Zhuyin slowly let go of her lips and stepped back, "...don't be stupid, how can you talk to me without drinking?"

Kato Yusuke glanced at her casually, and casually rubbed the thumb of his right hand on his lips to wipe off the wine and lipstick on them.

"What, little aunt wants it?"

This kind of action and tone is a little careless and ruffian, but also a little uninhibited and sexy, which is a bit seductive.

Hongsaka Zhuyin slightly narrowed her eyes to look at him, with a slight flash of light inside, then she also pursed her lips, and lazily said, "Pay attention to your words, kid."

Kato Yusuke ignored her, his eyes swept over the plumpness of her chest and the thighs under her skirt, his loose eyes were full of aggression.

The dizzy yellow light shone overhead, illuminating his face flickeringly.Slightly protruding browbones, long eyelashes, a high nose bridge, and a curved and angular jawline.

A black off-white short sleeve was worn on him, outlining a smooth and fit curve, vaguely setting off the perfect figure under the clothes.

Hongsaka Zhuyin clicked his tongue inwardly, and suddenly thought of his toughness, a hint of charm appeared in his expression.

"The wine just now, is it good?"

"The wine is good, but unfortunately it smells like an uncle."

--puff.

"Ahem...ahem, I'm sorry, the grilled conger eel for the two of you is ready."

The middle-aged man behind the bar coughed twice, put the freshly prepared dish in front of them, and then continued to work on the next dish.

The eels cut into small pieces are evenly stacked on the plate. The ingredients include sea salt, lemon, mustard, plum sauce, and yuzu pepper.

Kato Yusuke picked up the chopsticks, picked up a small piece of eel, dipped it in salt, put it in his mouth, and started chewing.

The skin of the baked conger eel is very crispy, the meat is very soft, and there is a hint of burnt aroma in it, and it is very delicious just simply decorated with salt.

Benizaka Zhuyin also ate a piece of eel, dipped in sweet and sour plum sauce, and started talking after swallowing the food.

"Then, let's get down to business. Leaving aside your plan, the reasons you have given so far cannot convince me. Either quote a reasonable price, or come up with something more convincing."

"What do you want to see?"

"Now you are the one who sells the copyright, so this is something you need to consider... Even so, you need to report the most basic plot direction to me first, and I will judge from this whether there will be a collapse in the future .”

Kato Yusuke thought for a while, and decided to come up with some dry goods, so he was about to speak, but Benizaka Akane suddenly made a stop gesture.

"Wait a minute, you don't want to just dictate, do you?"

"if not?"

"For us comic writers, the storyboard is more convincing than words? So please draw it later."

"There are at least 80 more chapters between now and the end, and it is impossible to finish drawing."

"Who told you to finish the painting? You just need to draw the key parts and then explain to me." Benizaka Zhuyin took it for granted, with a proud and lazy expression.

Kato Yusuke thought for a while, and finally agreed.

After that, the two of them concentrated on enjoying their dinner without uttering any surprising words, which made the middle-aged man behind the bar feel more at ease, and his skills gradually increased.

From bamboo shoot tempura sprinkled with bonito flowers, to grilled cod marinated in miso for three days in advance, and tuna sushi marinated in soy sauce...

A set of "Omakase" cooking dishes is very delicious, and the ingredients are also very fresh, which satisfies the appetite of two people well.

After the two of them had no intention of asking for more food, the middle-aged man quickly packed up his kitchen utensils, and left the apartment directly, as if worried about hearing any rumors in a hurry.

After drinking and eating.

Benizaka Akane said follow me, and then led Kato Yusuke to a certain room.

The two walked through the spacious and simple living room together, and came to a quiet room, or studio.

The items in the room are all available.

From the desk dedicated to cartoonists, to a variety of brushes and tools, mannequins for drawing reference, to the cabinets with many comics and comic magazines, etc...It has the feeling of a cartoonist studio .

In contrast, the configuration in Kato Yusuke's apartment is extremely simple.

However, being able to own a luxurious penthouse apartment in Ariake's area where the house price is over [-] million yuan is not something that ordinary people can do, so the comparison is meaningless at all.

"Okay, anyway, first draw some key shots in chronological order. I'll rest for a while, and call me when I'm done." Akane Kumisaka said, and lay down on the sofa next to the desk.

Kato Yusuke sat down on the armless office chair according to her instructions, his eyes were involuntarily attracted by the full-length mirror beside him, so he asked casually.

"Why put a mirror here?"

"What else can there be? Of course it is used as a reference for actions."

"Action reference?"

"That's right. After all, sometimes the movements posed by mannequins are not natural enough, so you need to refer to reality, although I don't use it very much now."

"That is to say, you always pose in front of the mirror by yourself?"

"Well, what's the problem?"

"It's nothing."

Benizaka Zhuyin was quiet for a while, then casually picked up the pillow beside him and threw it towards him.

"...Give me a good storyboard and stop imagining."

The voice suddenly became a little low, mixed with a little annoyance.

Kato Yusuke put the next pillow behind his waist, didn't say much, after adjusting the height of the seat, he started to work...

In the sound of methodical "rustling" brushwork, time passed peacefully.

Hongsaka Zhuyin's eyes were half-opened and half-closed, looking at him intermittently, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

About 40 minutes later, Akane Benizaka, who was taking a nap on the sofa, was shaken up.

"Miss Kosaka."

"...Um, what's the matter?"

"I've finished the storyboard, do you want to see it now?"

"...Phew...then take it here."

Kato Yusuke handed her a stack of sketches in his hand, there were about a dozen of them.

Benizaka Zhuyin, who took the drawing, didn't take it seriously, and slowly sat up from the sofa, yawning and asking, "...Well, how long have I been asleep?"

"Less than an hour."

"Well... come and sit next to me and explain to me."

Kato Yusuke didn't refuse, so he moved from the office chair to the sofa.

"Huh..."

Seeming to be very sleepy, Akane Benizaka yawned again, then slowly looked at the sketch in her hand, and then let out a cry of surprise.

"...Huh? What you drew is the original draft? Didn't you ask you to draw the storyboard draft?"

"This is the storyboard. There are no lines or underlines on it." Kato Yusuke said indifferently, but it made Akane Benizaka wake up a lot, and then began to observe carefully.

The "storyboard draft" in front of me has a complete composition, neat structure, and extremely smooth lines. It is obviously a coherent effect.

Although the style of sketching is simple, it is by no means crude, and there are not a few details that should be there. Whether it is the emotions of the characters or the texture of the scenery, they are all clearly expressed.

Except for the lack of line drawing and lyrics, it is basically the same as the original manuscript of the finished product, and the skill is quite scary.

Take the first picture in my hand as an example. In the picture, Makima is standing on the stone road of the shrine, with two rows of kneeling prisoners on both sides, as if some kind of ceremony is being held.

Even without a single line, you can feel the serious atmosphere conveyed inside.

Then there is the storyboard of the fighting part.

Denji riding a shark fights against bomb demons in a raging typhoon. The picture is as absurd as a B-grade movie, but very interesting.

Benizaka Zhuyin's eyes were focused and interested, and she began to read at a faster speed until the last page...

It seems that the world is painted in front of my eyes.

In the boundless universe, the astronaut whose body has been cut in half puts his hands together and worships the lower half of his body lying on the ground.At the end of the picture, there is a demon walking out of the darkness.

The tense picture even has a breath of faith, which makes people subconsciously shrink their pupils.

Benizaka Akane licked her lips, the remaining drowsiness in her mind had long since disappeared, and her whole body fell into a state of excitement. Then she raised her head and glanced at the clock on her desk, and asked in a somewhat unbelievable way:
"All of these...you drew them within an hour??"

"Ah."

Kato Yusuke nodded and hummed, her voice was very calm, but hearing what Akane Benizaka heard, she couldn't let go of it for a long time, and immediately asked a question in a low voice.

"Your painting skills have improved again...?"

The voice was slightly uneasy.

Facing this question, Yusuke pondered for a while, and his mind paused briefly on his painting skills that had been upgraded to the master level before responding.

"more or less."
