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

Chapter 515
"—I'm begging you, please."

Iori HASHIMA took out a pen and paper from the briefcase beside her, stretched out her hand and pushed them over.

Kato Yusuke looked at these things being pushed in front of him, neither picked them up nor expressed anything.

Basically, even if HASHIMA Iori provokes him, it doesn't mean he has to cooperate.

As for proving your ability... What is there to prove with a stranger?

What's more, he is not a naive three-year-old child, and he will not become irrational as soon as he is provoked.

He looked at HASHIMA Iori indifferently, tapping his fingers on the table aimlessly, his eyes contained no emotion, as if he was looking at nothingness.

As time goes by bit by bit.

HASHIMA Iori also greeted her with a smiling face from the beginning, but gradually became a little restless...

It was a condescending overlooking gesture.

Although the person concerned didn't seem to have any aggressiveness, but this kind of performance of treating him as nothing is an attitude in itself.

He felt a little oppressed and uncomfortable on the inner level.

There was no doubt that this man was oppressing him.

After observing the other party's expression again, HASHIMA Iori became more certain of this.

He looked at Hongsaka Zhuyin very troubled, hoping to get help.

Fortunately, the other party did receive his request for help, and was also happy to see the next development of the matter.

then……

"What's wrong, you just try it? Boy." Hongsaka Zhuyin said so.

Thanks to this, someone finally looked away from him.

"...Sorry, I don't see the point of doing this." Kato Yusuke said lightly.

"Others are provoking their faces, and you are not angry?"

"So, will you be angry because you are provoked by someone who doesn't know how to draw?"

"You're a man, aren't you? Where's your manhood?"

"This kind of thing is not proved by drawing, you know it yourself."

"Hey~~ What's the matter, you just draw, otherwise, wouldn't even my vision be questioned?"

Kato Yusuke smiled noncommittally, his eyes swept across the faces of Benizaka Akane and Hashima Iori in turn, and finally fell on the paper and pen at hand.

After a while, he said unhurriedly: "...Then let the little aunt pass the time for a while."

This kind of address made Hongsaka Zhuyin subconsciously want to explode again, but seeing that he was finally willing to pick up the pen, he gave up resentfully.

As for Iori HASHIMA, he was finally able to fulfill his wish, so he couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, but Kato Yusuke suddenly asked him:
"So, what do you want to see?"

"Uh, can I appoint it?"

"It doesn't matter."

"I see, it means that no matter what I specify, Kato-kun can draw it... Is that what you mean?"

"..."

The other party did not respond, as if he had no intention of wasting his tongue.

Iori HASHIMA pinched her chin and thought for a moment, "Then, please use cute girls as the theme to draw the dynamics of the human body."

Without saying anything, Yusuke Kato started to paint...

……

Swish, Swish, Swish, Swish~
The tip of the pen glides over the paper, making a beautiful melody like music.

Hongsaka Zhuyin called the waiter and asked someone, "Is there anything else you want to eat, kid."

Kato Yusuke took a moment to glance at the menu, writing non-stop, "I'll have eel rice with grilled Wagyu beef and sea urchin."

"Understood, that's all, and by the way, bring a bottle of Dasai's two-for-three."

The waiter took the order carefully and left.

Benizaka Akane smoked a cigarette enjoyably while talking casually.

"By the way, why are you here in uniform?"

"Need I remind you that today is Wednesday?"

"I'm not talking about that, but how did you get in the hotel wearing this kind of clothes?"

"Is there still dress discrimination here?"

"Idiot, that's called Dress Code."

"This is an imported product. Anyway, I came up directly, and no one stopped me."

"Thinking about it from another angle, maybe others think your guardian is here, so they don't stop you?"

"Why, are you not satisfied with being a little aunt anymore?" Kato Yusuke said meaningfully.

Hongsaka Zhuyin narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, and deliberately blew smoke at him, "...my sister is in a good mood today, so I don't care about you."

Then he changed the subject and asked, "Also, what's the matter with the pair of glasses you're wearing?"

"From a friend."

"Little girlfriend?"

"It's a classmate."

"Hey, an incompetent person who pretends to be stupid."

"What, are you jealous?"

"Heh, unless you're dead, I'm not that bad. But you, you seem to like to think of yourself as your sister's man? This cute possessiveness is also interesting~"

"You seem to have misunderstood something..."

Kato Yusuke swipes freely, "I'm just clearly belonging to my own things. You seem to be very happy about this? This innocent girlish heart is also interesting."

"........."

Benizaka Akane stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray without saying a word, then stretched out her hand towards his face, but he raised his hand to block it.

"doing what?"

"Nothing to do, just make me want to punch you when you talk with your glasses on, so I help you take them off."

"I'll just do it myself."

Yusuke Kato paused his pen briefly, put the removed eyes into the glasses case, and put them in the shoulder bag.

Benizaka Zhuyin curled his lips imperceptibly, and lit another cigarette, but he took it away from his mouth and extinguished it just after taking a puff.

"what are you doing……!"

She asked with some inexplicable irritability.

Kato Yusuke calmly took out a mint from his pocket, tore it open and put it into her mouth.

"Eat a candy first, it's never too late to smoke later." He said softly, and then picked up his brush to draw again.

"..."

Hongsaka Zhuyin stared at him for a while, but didn't spit out the candy, and just ate it unwillingly.

"...It's so unpalatable, just like you."

"You can't ask a man to smell like strawberries."

"Ha, the smell of tobacco and nicotine is what a man should have. You can only be called a brat at best, far from it."

"You can say whatever you want, after all, students can't smoke, and I'm not bad."

Benizaka Akane didn't bother to pay attention to him, just glanced at the drawing he was about to finish, and then asked, "By the way, how is the progress of your manga?"

"There is basically nothing to say. The publishing house has submitted chapter 28, and I am currently drawing a follow-up."

"According to your estimate... How long will it be before the end of the manga?"

Kato Yusuke pondered for a moment: "About three months."

"That is, until February or March next year?"

"Ah."

"Is that so... You will be entering the second grade soon, right?"

"Yes."

……

They were chatting here as if no one was around, while HASHIMA Iori watched intently over there, his expression gradually becoming dignified.

Like Akane Benizaka, Yusuke Kato draws directly from bare drafts, and reveals a sophistication in every move, as if he has been immersed in this industry for many years.

Considering the other party's age, this is really surprising.

However, because of the foreshadowing of Benizaka Zhuyin, it is within the acceptable range.

But further on—

The other party's deep knowledge of speed and high quality at the same time made him a little unbelievable!

On top of that, this person was even chatting with Akane Benizaka while drawing!

In such a situation where he is single-minded and dual-purpose, he can still draw the kind of effect that others need to concentrate on to achieve... It has already shown him that he is extremely astonished!
Especially the sense of randomness that comes at hand, as if you already have the whole picture in your mind before you write.

Especially when Kato Yusuke gave him the drawn picture, this feeling reached its peak.

It was a group of dynamic pictures of girls who were jumping rope, and there were a total of 12 decomposition actions plus 5 close-up shots.

Although no background was drawn, it vividly showed the process of the girl skipping rope.

From preparation, take-off, staying in the air, falling...

From the action of throwing the rope, the rotation of the body, the change of the ponytail and the sailor suit, and even the texture details of the clothes...

Every step is complete, clear and vivid on the paper!

And when it came to the five close-up shots, even the demeanor and temperament of the characters were perfectly expressed!Not only is it not dry at all, but it also has charm!
Looking at the work in his hands, Iori Hashima almost had an illusion.

It seems that what he is looking at is not a painting, but watching some kind of animation production and penetrating teaching frame by frame... full of hearty feeling!
He repeatedly looked at the unmodified manuscript in his hand, and he had the urge to put it down so much that he wanted to take it home and treasure it, and then sell it at a high price when he saw the right time.

As the so-called layman watches the fun, the expert watches the doorway.

Although HASHIMA Iori can't draw pictures, it doesn't mean he can't understand them.

Take these three manuscripts in his hands as an example, they are as exquisite as works of art!
And it's not the kind of highbrow abstraction, which is something that even laymen will be full of praise for.

In a flash of thought, he immediately understood the reason why the client was so valued by Hongsaka Zhuyin.

Iori HASHIMA calmed down a little, turned her eyes to the opposite side, and was about to express her feelings, but suddenly heard a sneer.

"--What are you doing? Boy, I told you to draw something seriously, but you ended up just painting here for fun?" Hongsaka Zhuyin said very unhappy, and forced to block back what he wanted to say.

"Uh...?" Iori HASHIMA tilted her head unconsciously, and said dumbfounded, "Drawing for fun...?"

The other party didn't pay attention to his reaction, but ordered someone extremely unhappily.

"Hey... boy, don't send people away with this kind of thing, quickly draw me something more exciting!"

Kato Yusuke didn't respond to this, but said indifferently: "But doesn't your number one disciple like it very much? That's enough."

"He's a layman who knows nothing!"

Ignoring the number one disciple who suddenly froze in place, Akane Benizaka moved her body to get closer, and stretched out her arms to hook his neck.

"In short, you must bring me some real materials today, otherwise, doesn't it mean that I, Hongsaka Zhuyin, have only a mere way of looking at people?"

"Let's not say that you are not the kind of person who cares about other people's opinions... If you are not satisfied, why didn't you mention it just now?"

"It doesn't matter, anyway, you didn't spend much effort."

"...This doesn't seem to be the attitude of begging for help."

After hearing this, Akane Benizaka raised her eyebrows, hesitated for a while, and then changed her tone.

"Okay, okay, just take it for my pleasure, why don't you show him something?"

It was a very charming and sexy voice, and even HASHIMA Iori couldn't help being taken aback by the amorousness revealed in an instant.

However, Kato Yusuke remained motionless.

Seeing this, Hongsaka Zhuyin frowned and loosened, her face changed, and she gritted her teeth and whispered: "...It's almost enough. At most, I will give you some compensation later."

"..."

Kato Yusuke couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth slightly, and while getting close enough to touch the tip of her nose, he frowned pretending to be disgusted, and said with a teasing smile:
"Contrary to your appearance, you really look like an uncle."

Without waiting for the other party to get angry, he followed up and said: "In short, I understand, so let's draw something interesting. Remember what you said."

After finishing speaking, he broke away from Benizaka Zhuyin's arm and started to prepare to draw.

After changing from the previous relaxed freehand brushwork, when he picked up the dip pen again, the feeling was completely different.

His eyes were focused on the snow-white drawing paper, his heroic sword eyebrows were slightly gathered towards the middle, and a pair of dark blue eyes were shining with the light of thinking, completely missing the looseness before.

Vaguely, it seemed that even time had slowed down.

Iori HASHIMA unconsciously breathed lightly, and began to stare at him intently, lest he miss any changes that followed.

At a certain moment, it seemed that I finally had an answer in my heart...

Kato Yusuke took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he began to draw with a brush.

His wrist moved, as if he had caught some kind of inspiration, and he used the tip of his pen to outline it on the drawing paper.

sand--

It was an extremely beautiful sound of pen movement.

Like a silver snake piercing the night sky, it instantly illuminated the room.

One stroke, one stroke, one stroke...

The boy described the elusive trajectories, and combined them one by one with some kind of mysterious and mysterious laws that people could not understand at all.

Just like looking at mountains is not mountains, looking at water is not water.

In his hands, the simple lines seem to have magical powers, firmly attracting people's hearts.

Faintly, there seems to be some kind of incomprehensible thing in the void behind the young man, and it is slowly transferring to the drawing paper with the brush in his hand.

Kato Yusuke is so absorbed in the world of painting, with a focused and serious expression, as if completely blocking all perception of the outside world.

Even when the waiter entered the room several times to serve food and pour wine, he did not respond.

I don't know how long it passed like this, until the last stroke was drawn in one go——

sand--!
Accompanied by the sudden sound of brush strokes, he finally stopped...

……

　Thanks for the reward of [Sunset and Moonrise].
