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

Chapter 486 Steady Progress and Preparations

"Sluggish or something..."

Hasumi Kanoko pouted a little aggrievedly.

"It's not because you didn't make it clear. I usually don't pay much attention to these things."

Kato Yusuke put his arm on the table, leaned his chin with his right fist, and said:

"This kind of thing, if I talk too much, it's like showing off."

"Excessive modesty is also a kind of showing off?"

"Really? Then... hello, I'm the cartoonist who is on fire right now, a stinky guy who made a lot of money by luck, please give me more advice in the future."

"Puchi, what are you doing~? How can you say that about yourself!"

"There will always be people who think that way, they just don't say it."

Kato Yusuke changed into a more comfortable posture, and said casually:
"A classmate who was just as ordinary as me suddenly won the first prize in the lottery one day, and some people will definitely feel upset."

"I told you not to say that."

Hasumi Kanoko frowned unhappily, feeling a little uncomfortable with him humiliating herself like this.

"Besides, Kato-san has nothing to do with the word "normal" at all, right? "

"This is a common view, unfortunately not necessarily correct.

Just like the truth is only in the hands of a few people, I consider myself an extremely ordinary guy, except for my physical fitness, there is nothing else. "

"...Is this completely a narrative trick? Or, do you hope to get praise through this? You are already a news person."

Hasami Kanoko raised her foot and kicked him lightly as if playing a prank, but it happened to touch his left hand hanging on his thigh.

So he grabbed his ankle.

"I'm just telling the truth. As for the news, it was an unexpected situation, otherwise I still understand the reason why money is not revealed."

Pat~

The cute slippers were pulled from her feet by Yusuke Kato, and they were discarded on the ground.

Instead, a fiery palm covered it, wrapping the instep and sole of the foot.

At the same time, one leg also moved down to support her right foot.

The warm jade feet trembled suddenly, and the beautiful toes curled up into a ball with tension.

"……What are you doing?"

Hasami Kanoko's voice trembled slightly, and she wanted to pull her foot back shyly, but was restrained by the tiger's jaw like a vise, unable to do so.

Kato Yusuke pressed slightly with his thumb on the acupoint on the center of the foot.

She yelled "Ah!", and the strength she had accumulated was instantly dissipated, and she was no longer able to resist.

"do not……"

"Don't move around, I know a little bit of massage, I'll give you a little massage."

"...You lied. Hmm-!" Ren Jian Kanoko snorted, panting slightly.

"Be good, don't move, I have something to tell you."

"……Oh--"

She reluctantly agreed, a thin blush appeared on her face.

While massaging, Yusuke Kato asked, "Have you ever thought about resigning from school? Kano."

"what……?"

"Haven't you thought about it?"

"No, why did you bring this up all of a sudden?"

As if the words were not shocking and endless, someone continued to speak as if nothing had happened.

"If I say that I want you to come and help me, will you be willing?"

"help you?"

Kanoko Hasami couldn't help but fell into deep confusion, even the strangeness coming from her feet was temporarily ignored by her, she just asked inexplicably:

"……what does that mean?"

"It means literally."

Kato Yusuke said calmly: "I set up a studio, but there is no one I trust to help me take care of it. Would you like to come to my side and help me?"

"..."

As the words settled down, there was a sudden blank time at the scene.

After ten seconds.

"Kato-san's...studio?"

"Well, it mainly focuses on making some text adventure games and other projects. It is the kind of otaku company that is often said in the society, and it is such a studio."

After a short period of daze, Renjian Kanoko burst out laughing, puffed up her face pretending to be dissatisfied, and looked at him.

"Really, you're kidding like that again. Do I look like someone who understands these things?"

"Do you think I'm joking?"

Kato Yusuke raised his face, looked back with serious but not serious eyes, and then said:
"Actually, I established this studio before the summer vacation, and the game production plan was not a product of whim, but was temporarily put on hold due to some accidents.

Now I plan to restart this project and studio.

Including Megumin, Eriri, and Shiwa-senpai, they are also members of this group.

But this alone is not enough. I need a more reliable person who can take care of this group. "

"I probably understand what you're thinking, but..."

Hasami Kanoko hesitated and said:

"Like I said, I don't know anything about manga or games, and I don't think I can help."

"You misunderstood, Xiao Jianai."

Kato Yusuke shook his head at this and denied the statement.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand manga or games.

There are many things that I can't do easily, and it would be much easier if you would come. "

"Something that even Kato-san can't do...? May I ask what it is?"

"a lot of.

For example, the registered address of the studio is the apartment where I live, but it is not suitable for office work, and I want to re-rent a suitable place.

In this way, it is necessary to select a new place and make changes in the procedures. "

Renjian Kanoko nodded subtly to show that she was listening, and signaled him to continue talking.

"After the office location is determined, we have to prepare for the game production.

Because I want to speed up while ensuring the quality as much as possible, there may be situations where it is necessary to recruit suitable personnel.

Compared with me, Xiao Jia Nai will give people a more reliable feeling, so that the interviewees will not feel unreliable, and it can save a lot of unnecessary trouble. "

"Ah."

“Besides that, you also need to interface with companies like sound, art, and programming to outsource some of the work.

For the same reason as above, it is easier for Xiao Jianai to gain the trust of the other party on this occasion. "

"Ah."

Seeing that she still hadn't made up her mind, Kato Yusuke could only continue to say:
"There are many other formalities and financial matters.

These are things I'm not comfortable doing, so I'd be glad if you'd give me a hand. "

He looked over with very sincere eyes, Hasumi Kanoko lowered her eyes and was silent for a while.

"...is it like your agent?" the other party asked.

"It can also be understood in this way, or shareholders?"

"shareholder……?"

"Well, [-]% of the studio's shares." Kato Yusuke deliberately used a vague statement, without directly stating the specific salary amount.

After all, apart from him, no one can be sure what the results of the game will be after its release.

This sounds a little easier to accept than directly offering a salary much higher than Kanoko Hasumi's current annual salary.

It is difficult to judge the value of these shares because there may be a situation where they will not be able to make ends meet, which will cause these shares to become worthless.

"...can I ask a question?"

"You're not going to ask the old 'Why me?' question, are you? "

"why……?"

Hasumi Kanoko bit her lower lip lightly, her pupils were full of complexity, she just stared at him intently.

"I just want to be with you, I didn't think too much about it, you don't have to take responsibility for my future life..."

"..."

Kato Yusuke couldn't help being dumbfounded, and then fell silent.

He thought a lot, but he didn't expect the other party to say such a sentence.

"really……"

Regardless of his reaction, Hasumi Kanoko lowered the corners of her eyes lovingly, as if she was about to cry.

"Although you have said so much and found many reasons, but you have not expressed your true thoughts. Are you responsible for me?"

After finishing his speech, he took the lead in denying this statement.

"No, you really want to be responsible to me."

She took shallow breaths, her chest rising and falling, and then continued:
"Although the things in the studio you just mentioned are troublesome, they are not things you can never do.

Even if it is, it can be handed over to a more suitable person to do it, but you have to choose someone like me who doesn't know anything...

What is the meaning of this, I understand very well. "

Kato Yusuke smiled wryly in his heart, but he talked about him with a relaxed face.

"This is just your speculation, Xiao Jia, maybe I just want to lure you here?
Although I am making a little money now, if this game project fails, I will declare bankruptcy immediately.

If the sales of the game are not good in the future, and the studio is disbanded because of this, then it will be me who willfully cause you to lose your job..."

"—if that's the case."

Kanoko Hasumi interrupted him directly, and put on a very gentle tone, saying word by word: "I won't regret following you either."

"...That is to say."

Kato Yusuke wriggled his lips, paused and said, "I shouldn't have to ask you if you agreed."

"I can also give a more formal answer if you want to hear it."

Kanoko Hasumi said as she closed her eyes, raised her right hand and pressed her chest, took a deep breath, then opened her eyes again, and coughed lightly.

"Then... the little girl is not talented, please ask for more for the rest of my life..."

"—Don't make fun of this kind of answer sentence!?" Kato Yusuke stopped her half in shock and half astonished.

Kanoko Renjian laughed so hard that her branches trembled wildly, as if she was very happy to see him deflated, even her snow-white fragrant shoulders trembled slightly.

"Would you like to be Kato-san's representative~? I think that would be a good idea."

"I can't stand it..."

"Hey, what can't you bear?"

"Xiao Jianai is smarter than I thought."

"Really, it's obvious that you underestimated me too much.

Do you know that I am an outstanding graduate of Qingxue?Otherwise, it would not be easy to get an offer from Toyosaki Academy. "

"Qingxue, I will go to Qingxue in the future."

"Oh?"

Hasami Kanoko narrowed her eyes slightly, tilted her head with a half-smile, and asked with a long voice, "Because there are many beauties in Seigaku?"

Kato Yusuke kept silent, lowered his head deliberately pretending not to hear, and kneaded the slender feet in his hands silently.

The five beautiful toes are aligned inwards, and the nails are neatly trimmed, which is very beautiful.

He couldn't help stretching out his fingers and fiddled with it lightly.

The five toes twitched restlessly and couldn't wait to get back to their master.

"It's itchy and I'm a bit tired, can you let go of my foot?"

Kanoko Hasumi said timidly, the stimulation from her feet made her feel uncomfortable and shy.

Men don't touch their heads, and women don't touch their feet.

This is the truth.

Kato Yusuke didn't continue to tease her so far, he readily asked her to retract her feet, and then tiptoed the slipper that fell on the ground.

Hasami Kanoko blushed and pulled on her slippers, took out a few wet wipes from the table and handed them over, whispering:
"Wipe your hands, you are so strange, don't you feel dirty..."

"It's just a massage, what's so strange, what are you thinking?"

Kato Yusuke complained calmly and wiped his hands with a wet towel.

As for dirty or not?
Naturally not dirty.

The other party's feet were not only very clean, but also had a faint fragrance like soap.

Ren Jian Kanoko glanced at him feigning anger, secretly thinking about whether to let him kiss her feet next time as revenge, and then suddenly thought of something.

"Hey, Kato-san."

"what?"

"Apart from me, have you told anyone else in school that you are a manga artist?"

Although Kato Yusuke didn't understand her intention, he still gave an answer.

"I only told this to the members of the student union, and An Yilun from Class A of the other year also knew about it."

"Student An Yi... well, that's a problem child too."

"He and Ying Lili are childhood sweethearts, and Ying Lili also wants him to join, so he is currently a member of the existing team."

"So that's how it is...those two children..."

Hasumi Kanoko murmured in surprise, and then changed her words.

"Well, besides these people, have you ever told anyone else?"

Kato Yusuke shook his head and denied: "At least I don't remember that kind of thing, why do you ask?"

"Well...Actually, director Shancheng sent an email to all the teachers yesterday, asking everyone to come to school early this morning."

"Is there anything strange?"

Hasumi Kanoko shook her head.

"It's not surprising so far. The strange thing is that when everyone came, they were immediately gathered together, saying that they were going to prepare for emergency response."

"what do you mean……?"

"About halfway through the meeting, those media reporters came to the school... It's like..."

"Is it like the school already knew in advance that the media was coming?"

Kato Yusuke filled in the rest of the words for her, and Kanoko Hasumi nodded affirmatively.

Thinking about it carefully, the teachers' response this morning was indeed very quick, and the division of labor was clear, it really didn't seem like a temporary response.

On the contrary, it seems that he came prepared.

Kato Yusuke also saw that scene in the morning, but he didn't think much about it at the time, but now that he heard Kanoko Hasami's reminder, he couldn't help but think about it.

At a certain moment, a figure suddenly appeared in my mind.

"Miss Nakano..."

He couldn't help muttering to himself.

Followed by -

"I said ~ Kato-san?"

Some tasteful voice came to the ears.

"You probably didn't attack that Nakano-san, did you?"
