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

Chapter 493 Toyosaki's Trio

"—So, do you think this arrangement is okay, Yusuke."

Following Kei's opening, the three of them focused their attention on Kato Yusuke in unison.

Across a coffee table, four people sat facing each other in twos.

Yusuke and Kei sat on the sofa inside the room, and Shinjoka and Eriri sat opposite them.

As for Shi Yu, he sat alone behind his desk.

Her hands were typing like flying on the laptop in front of her, and she was concentrating on finishing the final volume of the novel, not participating in the discussion.

Since all the members present knew his identity as a light novel writer, no one would bother him unwisely at this moment.

Facing Kei's question, Kato Yusuke did not answer immediately, but thoughtfully cast his eyes on the two women on the opposite side, and then asked:

"About this matter... Ying Lili, what do you think?"

"Huh? What do you think? Didn't I just say there's no problem?" Ying Lili asked with a puzzled expression.

"But I may entrust you with art work in the near future. If you join the executive committee, can you coordinate your time?"

"This... will you have a lot of work?"

"Basically, I always think of you according to the first original painting."

"Wait, are you talking about that game now??"

"Well, I originally wanted to talk about the studio later, but that's exactly what happened."

"This--"

Ying Lili sat up straight, with a slightly hesitant expression, and then said with a confused face:
"Let me tell you, although I'm very satisfied that you can trust me so much, but—from character design, original painting, background, CG, etc., don't you want to leave it to me alone??"

"No. Considering the time constraints, such as background, UI design and some materials, I will outsource it at that time, and you will be responsible for the rest."

"That's character design, original painting and CG?"

"Well, so can you balance things between work, clubs, and school? If not, at least you don't want to be the executive committee member of the cultural festival."

"Well……"

Ying Lili blinked her eyes frequently, and suddenly stopped talking.

This reaction also gave Kato Yusuke an answer in his heart, so he looked beside her.

"Then let me make some adjustments. Can the work of the executive committee be entrusted to you alone? Xintiao."

"Okay~"

Xintiaoxiang nodded and readily agreed.

"Anyway, there will be representatives from every class. I don't think there is much need for the student council to come in. If there is any problem, I will report it to everyone at any time~"

"I'm sorry, Xintiao classmate..."

"It doesn't matter that you don't have to be so polite with me, Sawamura-san. Besides, what you have to do is much more important than mine~ I will cheer for you."

"Thank you……"

"They say you don't need to worry about it, but forget it ~ you're welcome."

The two exchanged a few friendly greetings and settled the matter amicably.

After the brief episode ended, the four of them continued to discuss the work arrangement of the cultural festival.

The content includes but is not limited to the following five aspects:

1. A detailed review of the project plan.

2. Publicity announcement and venue layout.

3. Ceremony planning and venue allocation.

4. Equipment management.

5. Inspect the school and deal with sundries.

After some discussions with some twists and turns, everything has been arranged tentatively.

Considering various factors, Kato Yusuke took the initiative to undertake most of the affairs.

Although this would keep him busy, it would save a lot of time for Eiriri and Shiwa-senpai, so it was not a loss.

In addition, Hui also said that he would help him deal with it together. If it doesn't work, he can also consider asking people like the Mangosteen Brothers and the baseball trio for help.

Therefore, it is enough to cope with the cultural festival.

of course!

That being said, it's not without cost.

It is foreseeable that, at least at this year's cultural festival, he will not think about having time to do things other than work.

But Kato Yusuke is very open about this.

Now that he has enjoyed the convenience brought by the status of the student council president, he naturally has to bear the obligations and responsibilities it brings.

There is no such whimsical good thing in the world that only wants to get but doesn't want to give anything.

After talking about business, it's another matter.

"--So."

Kei opened his mouth and concluded: "In short, I don't have any questions about the cultural festival. Yusuke, you can talk about other things."

After finishing speaking, everyone stopped talking at the same time.

At this point, even Shi Yu paused his work and joined the discussion together.

Kato Yusuke first called An Yilun and called him to the office.

There was no delay afterwards, and the contracts prepared in advance were directly handed over to Ying Lili, Shiwa-senpai and Hui respectively.

According to the content of the contract.

The three will be shareholders of the studio, joining in with art, script and production work, and each will own 10% of the studio's equity.

Of course, the contract here is a newly drafted contract, and the version signed before will be automatically invalidated.

Because of the prior greeting, Hui and Shiyu didn't respond, but Yinglili was caught off guard.

Especially when she saw some of the content above, Dang even asked straightforwardly.

"I said, Yusuke. What's the matter with the shares mentioned above??"

"Is there a problem?" Kato Yusuke looked at her and asked.

"Because—the contract you gave before doesn't seem to have this clause in it!"

"This is because the situation is different now and then, so I have made some changes. If you are worried about remuneration, I can only tell you that it will not be less than before."

"—I'm not talking about that anymore!"

Ying Lili hesitated for a moment, her eyes lingered on Hui and Shiyu, who had also received the contract, for a moment, then glanced casually at An Yilun who was beside her, and finally asked:
"...But isn't this strange? I didn't invest any money in it, but somehow I became a shareholder... I always feel a little bit sorry.

Otherwise, it would be fine as before...! "

"..."

Kato Yusuke pondered for a while, "Can I discuss something with you, Eriri."

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

Regardless of the doubts that the other party showed for a moment, he said:
"Just like I don't question your decision on "egoistic lily", can you listen to my thoughts on the matter of this studio?

Regarding this contract, I think it is a guarantee that will allow us to go further on the road of creation in the future, so I hope you can simply accept it. "

"But, but..."

"There's nothing wrong with it. I won't force you to sign it, but it's a status symbol among companions. Are you going to refuse?"

"I didn't say I would refuse! But I don't want to accept such a favorable condition for no reason!"

As if thinking of something, Ying Lili suddenly had an idea, and said bluntly:

"Otherwise, this is fine! I can give you all the money that has been deposited with my parents so far, and you will give me those shares when the time comes. What do you think?"

hehe~
Shi Yu behind the desk let out a chuckle and said something casually.

"As expected of you, Sawamura, there is a beauty that lacks the brainstem when you speak ~ I am deeply admirable."

"Hey! What do you mean by that—!?"

"It's nothing, it's just the literal meaning, it's fine if you don't understand."

Facing Shiwa's inexplicable yin and yang, Eiriri was so angry that the corners of her mouth curled down, and she wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Kato Yusuke.

"Don't rush to get angry, just listen to me, Ying Lili."

"What! That black-bellied girl is getting mad! What are you going to say!"

Ignoring her angry tone, Kato Yusuke said clearly:
"In short, this studio will not accept any capital injection, nor anyone else, so there is no need to mention this matter."

Everyone who heard this had different expressions, and they all heard the determination in his tone.

Ying Lili couldn't help frowning, faintly aware that the atmosphere seemed to be a little different, but she didn't know what went wrong.

But before she could think about it deeply, Kato Yusuke continued.

"There is also Yinglili. If you still find it difficult to accept this, you might as well discuss it with your parents when you get home, and then give me an answer."

"I want to ask a question!"

"what is the problem?"

"About the game plan, I didn't see the budget on it, did you forget to write it?"

"I will never forget that kind of thing... But this time, compared with before, the conditions are much looser, so it depends on the situation."

"What do you mean by that?" Ying Lili wrinkled her small face, extremely disgusted with this general statement.

Although the others didn't speak, judging from the vague feelings emanating from them, they didn't seem to be completely devoid of curiosity.

Kato Yusuke didn't have any intention of showing off, so he gave a direct answer.

"I mean, considering the deviation and flexibility that may occur during the period, there is no way to give a specific budget.

But if it's just an approximate range, the estimated upper limit on my side is 4000 million, which will not exceed this number. "

"""----!!!"""

The office was instantly silent like a heavy snowfall.

But immediately, someone broke the silence.

"---What did you say!?"

An Yilun also jumped up from the sofa and shouted loudly: "Our game plan has a budget of 4000 million—!?!?"

Ding~!

Like a slot machine, two money symbols suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Taking his behavior as an opportunity, someone made a joint reaction.

"Clap"!
A paper fan made of folded thick newspaper came from nowhere, and slammed into his face.

"Pfft! It hurts—!?"

"——What is our game plan! You shameless guy! Can you stop being ashamed?" Ying Lili cursed loudly.

"Obviously I am also a member of this team!? And even so! You don't have to beat me so hard!?"

"Ah, is that right, sorry, my hand slipped."

"This is too perfunctory!?!?" An Yilun also covered his face, and complained with all his strength.

However, Ying Lili was too lazy to pay attention to him, and just looked at Kato Yusuke.

"And you too, Yusuke!"

She said worriedly: "Are you serious about the budget you mentioned just now? It's almost all the money you can spend now, right?"

"I have my measure."

"No, what's the point! In case of compensation..."

Before she could finish speaking, Kato Yusuke interrupted her directly.

"If the sales of the game are not good at the end, if I lose money, not only I will go bankrupt, but you will also not be able to get the money. Are you willing to accept such a contract?"

"...??"

Ying Lili, who was suddenly interrupted, instinctively froze for a moment, forgetting to react for a moment.

at this time……

Rustle, duh.

"Well, although I don't know what to do next, but this should be fine, right? Yusuke."

Kei said so with a calm face, and returned the signed contract to Yusuke Kato.

However, Kato Yusuke only took one of them, and asked her to keep the other for herself.

So far, the first contract has been confirmed.

closely followed.

"Tsk, you're always subtle and good at seizing the moment, Kato-san. You can't be underestimated."

Shi Yu said with a look of fear, and returned his contract to Kato Yusuke.

"...Ah, um, well, although I want to ask Kasumigaoka-senpai what the timing is, but forget it."

Hui, whose name was called, was briefly confused, but soon stopped worrying.

"...You did it on purpose! Do you really want to be number one?"

"First...? Ah, so, shouldn't it be better for me to wait for Kasumigaoka-senpai to hand in the contract before?"

"Kato-san, you really are..."

"Next is Yinglili~"

……

In any case, the second contract has also been confirmed.

However, there was no signature on the second contract, because Yusuke and Shiyu had discussed it in advance.

In order to avoid any accidents, the contract with Shi Yu will not be formally signed until after the contract between her and Undead Chuan ends.

Everything is for the sake of safety, so there is no contradiction or special reason.

"Hui, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu...you..."

Ying Lili, who had witnessed all the changes, opened her eyes slightly, her expression seemed a little surprised.

"So……"

Kato Yusuke coughed lightly, and asked her, "What are you going to do? Eriri, do you need to think about it for a few more days?"

"Consider... a few days...?"

"Like I said, you can go back and discuss it with your parents."

"Well……?"

During Ying Lili's hesitation, An Yilun just touched her arm with his elbow, and whispered a reminder.

"Hey, Ying Lili, what are you hesitating about? Why don't you just sign your name?"

"Ah, I got it! Anyway, just sign on it! I didn't say no to sign, why are you all like this?"

Ying Lili said unhappily, and finally signed the contract, stamped her own seal, and returned one of them to Yusuke Kato.

With the matter of the three contracts, the matter of the studio can be regarded as settled.

Holding the contract, Kato Yusuke glanced over the faces of the three girls who had special meaning to him, then smiled from the bottom of his heart, and said in a sincere tone:
"Thank you for trusting me, let us continue to teach you a lot in the future.

——Megumi, Shiwa-senpai, Eirari. "

Facing his rhetoric, the reactions of the three girls were quite different.

Hui Shi lowered the corners of his eyes slightly, and showed him a clear and shallow smile.

Shi Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a vague smile on the corners of his beautiful lips, admiring him as if appreciating a treasure.

Ying Lili shyly turned her face away, her delicate chin raised slightly arrogantly, but she couldn't help but peek at him from the corner of her eye.

Although the personalities of the three are different, everyone looked at him with trust and intimacy in their eyes, which condensed various experiences since getting along with him.

It seems that there is an invisible line connecting them together, forming a circle that does not allow outsiders to easily step in, and there is a faint sense of isolation.

Xintiaoxiang and An Yilun also watched this scene silently, thinking about each other, but neither of them said anything.

The former took out a lollipop from his pocket, unwrapped it and ate it.

The latter bowed his head deeply, and the lenses of the black-rimmed glasses reflected white light, making it difficult to see his expression clearly, but his brows were deeply frowned, and he was thinking about something...
