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

Chapter 547 Cultural Festival ([-])
Kato Yusuke took his time slowly, observing each classroom one by one in the teaching building.

Propaganda posters are plastered all over the hallway walls.

Twelve independent strips of stickers are used on the steps of the stairs to form a huge graphic poster with "Toyosaki Festival" printed on it.

Only when you stand downstairs and look up slightly, you can see the overall effect of the poster, which is very well designed.

In addition, the front of each class is also arranged in a unique way.

Like octopus arches made of cardboard, giant whales made of countless balloons, and mimic seawater stickers stuck on the ground.

Along the way, all kinds of strange sights make people seem to be in some kind of art space, or a colorful dream country.

When he walked to the classroom door of Class A of the third year, Kato Yusuke stopped in his tracks.

According to the application materials submitted in advance, this class is a simulated shop for handmade bathing balls.

In front of the classroom is a huge billboard made of cardboard.

There was a drawing paper attached to the signboard, which showed two little yellow ducks soaking in a bathtub, surrounded by countless colorful bubbles.

Compared to the compact layout of their class, the seating arrangement of this class is extraordinarily spacious.

According to the L shape, the seats are placed in two rows on the side near the window and the side of the wall.

The clerks sit on the inside, and the empty chairs on the outside are for customers.

There are a lot of props like chemical instruments on the table, and it looks like a laboratory, which is very interesting.

It was just after the afternoon, and there were not too many people in the classroom. At this moment, there were only a few students on duty receiving a few guests.

Kato Yusuke glanced slightly.

As a result, when he saw it, he happened to meet a certain girl's eyes.

After being stunned for a while, Ryoko Nakano showed a slight surprise, then smiled and waved to him, saying "Yu-kun" with his mouth.

Kato Yusuke nodded back with a smile, and strode in.

Although he was doing a patrol inspection at this time, he didn't intend to disturb him, but since he was discovered by the other party, he had to say hello.

"Good afternoon, Nakano-senpai."

"Good afternoon, You-kun."

"Sorry, did I bother you?"

"No, I'm fine now, what about You-kun?"

"I'm doing a patrol, and I happened to be here with my senior."

"Patrol."

Ryoko Nakano tilted her head slightly, "Is there any problem at work?"

"No."

Kato Yusuke shook his head in denial, "At least I haven't found anything yet, everything is peaceful."

"if it is like this……"

Ryoko Nakano smiled and picked up the price list on the table, "Would you like to DIY a beautiful bath ball?"

"what?"

Kato Yusuke blinked blankly, confused for a while.

"DIY bath balls, priced at 800 yen per piece~!"

The words are written on a cartoon-style hand-drawn price list.

"Thanks to You-kun, we have been busy all morning~"

Ryoko Nakano joked: "So come and support our class's project? I can guide you to do it."

"Uh……"

Kato Yusuke reacted immediately, the other party was saying that he used his signature to attract customers in the morning, and his expression couldn't help becoming a little embarrassed.

Although their competition methods are not illegal, they must have caused a lot of influence to others.

No, he is being ridiculed face to face now, and the other party is the senior sister he admires.

Yu Kato, who figured out the key, smiled wryly, and sat down on the steel pipe chair at Ryoko Nakano's gesture.

"Then, please help me get six."

"Eh, six...?"

"Well, it's 4800 yen in total, isn't it? Here's the money, senpai."

Looking at the money that was respectfully placed on the table, the girl did not collect it immediately, but smiled helplessly and sighed.

"You mean, Yu-kun?"

"exist."

"Although it's true that I want to ask you to support me, there's no need for you to force yourself to buy so many. Or, does You-kun like bubble baths very much?"

"...Huh? Sorry, I don't have the habit of using these kinds of products."

"Then you are...?"

Kato Yusuke smiled: "Actually, I just suddenly thought that girls should like this very much, so I planned to use it as a gift."

"Is that so..."

Ryoko Nakano nodded thoughtfully and smiled, "Is there that girl who became your family member?"

"Well, yes. Thanks to the help of senior sister, Xiao Xi has now been successfully transferred to my guardian's name, as well as the association. Thank you very much."

Kato Yusuke said sincerely.

I don't know if the other party has greeted him or not. The speed of the government's work is simply efficient.

It took almost only one day for Xiao Xi's identity problem to be completely handled.

Even the "OSY Association" he applied for passed the review with a green light all the way.

Although it is only a small non-governmental organization that has been registered, it can be regarded as obtaining a license from the official side.

"Ah That's good."

The girl acted very indifferently, waved her hand lightly and said: "Let's not talk about that girl, about the association Yu-kun applied for, I didn't expect that the representative would be Mr. Hasumi."

Kato Yusuke nodded, lowered his voice and said, "...Actually, the agent of my studio is also Xiao Yano. After all, it is more convenient to have an adult for many things."

"Oh?"

Ryoko Nakano smiled, "I can see that Yu-kun really trusts Master Lianjian, is your relationship good?"

"...Well, it's pretty good, haha..." Kato Yusuke replied in embarrassment, unconsciously looking away.

"I see, so there are six bathing balls~?"

Ryoko Nakano said leisurely, "One for that girl, one for Shinjo-sensei, one for Mr. Hasumi, one for Kasumigaoka, one for Kato-san... Who is the last one for?"

Because someone explained on Monday that she knew that it was Xinjianxiang who took in Xiaoxi, so some things are not difficult to infer.

The question about Hasumi Kanoko was also confirmed in the conversation a few seconds ago.

As a public girlfriend, Kasumigaoka Shiyu doesn't need to say much.

That girl named Megumi Kato has been active since the student council election.

- This passionate boy.

"..."

Kato Yusuke touched his nose in embarrassment and replied, "...It was for Eiri. Like Xiaoxi, she was like a younger sister to me."

"That's it."

Nakano Ryoko nodded lightly with a smile, and dignifiedly put the money on the table into the cash box.

"Then, there are six bathing balls in total. Thank you for your patronage."

Seeing that she didn't go into this topic, Kato Yusuke breathed a sigh of relief and responded politely.

"Then I'll trouble you, senpai."

"No~"

The girl shook her head and made a please gesture, "Anyway, please choose the color and fragrance first."

"Can you choose both?"

"Yes, You-kun, you can freely choose the match you like, and then the next step."

"I see." Kato Yusuke looked at the note on the table and thought.

Chamomile, vanilla, cherry blossom, lily, rose, sandalwood, geranium, lavender.

"I'm sorry, but I want to ask, do you have any recommendations for Senior Sister?"

"The citrus, vanilla, and lavender here are very popular, right?"

"Then please give me one of each of the three. If the color is... orange, white, and purple."

"Is that the original color? I see, so what about the other three?"

"The other three..."

Kato Yusuke pondered again, and then said thoughtfully, "Sakura and pink, rose and red, lily and gold, can you give me these three?"

Ryoko Nakano's eyes moved slightly, and he said meaningfully: "...As a boy, Yu-kun really knows the taste very well."

"..."

Kato Yusuke scratched his face, not easy to talk to.

Ryoko Nakano brought a pair of disposable gloves for him to put on, then found six metal pots and began to mix the materials.

First, put a metal basin on an electronic scale, tare and weigh, and then add various materials in turn.

Baking soda powder 50g
Anhydrous citric acid 25g
Corn starch 25g
Cold Pressed Coconut Oil 12ml
10 drops of rose essential oil

Several rose petals
Appropriate amount of red toner
"So Yuu-kun."

Like a teacher, Ryoko Nakano handed over a small watering can.

"This is distilled water. Please stir the ingredients in the basin evenly, and spray water into it until the powder is slightly wet."

"Ok."

Kato Yusuke nodded in agreement, and acted according to the other party's instructions.

While watching him, Ryoko Nakano started to mix other flavors.

The ingredients in the bowl are gradually mixed evenly.

From the initial mass of loose sand, it becomes slightly fluffy and moist at the back, and when it is kneaded vigorously until it can be shaped...

"Hmm~ that's almost it."

The girl took a transparent spherical mold, "Next, please ram the material to fill the mold, pay attention to pressing a little, and finally close the mold."

"clear."

Kato Yusuke split the mold into two semicircles and kept adding bath powder into it.

The agitated bath powder is bright red and has a strong rose fragrance. The taste is slightly strong but not pungent, and it smells very good.

'I don't know if Shi Yu-senpai will like it. '

Kato Yusuke reassembled the two semicircular molds with a "pop", and then asked, "Is this all right? Nakano-senpai."

"Well, just put it over there. Next is the cherry blossom flavor. Please do it like you did just now."

"understood."

The two cooperated with each other to make bath balls, and the process was really like doing a chemical experiment.

During this period, the number of people in the classroom gradually increased.

After all the bath balls were made, Ryoko Nakano found a paper bag and put all the bath balls in it.

"Well~ that's it. Because the bath ball is very fragile when it is just made, remember to be careful with bumps. By the way, the effect will be better if it is frozen."

"I remember, thank you, senpai."

"No, then bye, Yu-kun."

"Goodbye, senpai."

After saying goodbye to each other, Kato Yusuke turned and left the classroom.

◇

The inspection work continued.

After that, Kato Yusuke came to the door of the audio-visual classroom.

As if to keep the air circulating, the doors of the classrooms were not completely closed, but some gaps were left.

Look inside through the gap.

The dark classroom with the curtains closed was crowded like a school of sardines.

This scene made Kato Yusuke feel a little surprised, so he gently opened the door and walked in without disturbing anyone.

On the curtain used for projection, the animation of "The Savior of Gancheng Brilliant Paradise" is playing.

In the picture, Qiandou Isuzu holds a musket decorated with ivory and gold, and points the gun at Keer Jiangxi.

"Oh~~ the spear-drawing technique under the skirt."

The room echoed with a sigh of amazed gentleman, mixed with a little excitement.

After briefly observing the audience, Kato Yusuke looked at the studio behind the classroom.

What caught my eye was An Yi Lun, who was wearing a black suit and headset, standing behind the projection equipment.

Across a piece of glass, the other party was tilting his head and looking at him, his eyes seemed to be asking, "Dangtang student council president, what are you doing?"

Kato Yusuke walked into the brightly lit studio with his feet up and knocked on the door lightly.

"Anyi, your side is full, so you'd better hang a full sign outside after that."

"Signs? Uh, are you here for this?"

"No, I'm doing a routine inspection and just came to your side."

Hearing this, An Yilun, who was a little nervous at first, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"What, it turned out to be just a trivial matter. I thought I was being disliked by those people in the sports club, so I went to file a complaint with the student union."

"Complaint?" Kato Yusuke sat down on the round stool next to him. "What happened to you and the people in the sports club?"

"—nothing."

An Yilun didn't want to say more and waved his hand, "At best, the otaku and sports characters are inherently different, and even they are not happy with my animation screening."

As if worried about something, he turned his head nervously again.

"Just in case I'll say yes first, Kato.

I strictly abide by the various regulations of the school here, including the animation that I have obtained the permission of the publisher in advance, without any violations.

You can't be partial to the guys in the sports club and stop my animation marathon appreciation event? "

Kato Yusuke looked at him from the corner of his eye while observing the audience outside.

"...Although I didn't have that kind of thought in the first place, you're really well prepared."

"Of course." An Yilun also raised his chest proudly.

"After all, I spent so much time and effort preparing, just so that everyone can enjoy the interesting works of ancient and modern China and foreign countries.

Even though those works are based on my personal recommendations, with my annoying commentary interspersed during the intermission, but that's what makes it interesting isn't it—! "

"...Let's not talk about other things, at least your popularity is really good." Kato Yusuke commented causally.

"Right, right~?"

An Yilun also said cheerfully:

"Personally, the animation screening is definitely the most interesting event in the entire cultural festival, even more exciting than the folk dance of the evening festival!
Although Khihiko seems to be looking forward to being invited to dance at the evening festival, saying that it has the meaning of "please hang out with me" in our school... That kind of trouble is completely unnecessary for the otaku! "

Unable to listen to his chatter, Kato Yusuke had to speak and get to the point.

"Speaking of which, Anyi, I have something to tell you."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

An email was sent to An Yi Lun's cell phone.

"In the email I just sent you, there is the email address of the person who will be in charge of game programming with you in the future. You can learn anything with him."

"--Eh?"

An Yilun's excited expression couldn't help but linger for a while, and it took three seconds for him to react.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute! Kato, what do you mean by that?"

"It means literally."

Kato Yusuke explained plainly:

"The other party is a newly hired member of our studio, who has rich experience in program development and can guide you.

However, he is still going through the resignation procedures at the original company, so you should contact him by email first. "

"No, why hire that kind of professional... Didn't we say I'll do the good program part?"

"Not only in terms of programming, but also new people will join after the art. This is the normal demand of the studio."

"Is that so? I always feel suspicious..." An Yilun also looked at him suspiciously, "Don't you trust me? Kato."

A brief silence.

Kato Yusuke coughed lightly: "... Anyway, that's it, I'm here to inform you about this."

"Hey! You just avoided your eyes, didn't you? And you avoided my question! Kato." An Yi Lun also raised his voice and asked.

"I still have work to do, so I'll go first, you remember to make a "full" sign and put it at the door. "

"Damn it, Kato! You're really avoiding my question, aren't you? I'll definitely write beautiful code for you to see later, wait for me! Kato."

"It's good that you have this energy, then I'll look forward to it for the time being. Come on."

Ignoring An Yi Lun who was jumping in rage, Kato Yusuke picked up the paper bag with the bath balls and simply left the audio-visual classroom.

……

After visiting the school building.

He successively checked the projects and booths in the activity building, atrium, playground, and the school gate.

If I want to describe it in one sentence, it means that there are no major problems, and there are constant small problems.

For those projects and booths with problems, Kato Yusuke also made rectification suggestions one by one according to the situation.

Those in charge also humbly expressed their acceptance, but no one dared to contradict them. There is basically nothing to say about the process.

After all, today is different.

As his aura grew, so did his personal prestige at the school.

Regardless of what people think of him in their hearts, at least no one will oppose him in public.

After successfully finishing the work, the time has come to the sunset.

Kato Yusuke took out his phone and glanced at it.

Auntie Mui Ne, Xiao Xi, Sayuri, Xiao Kana... Many people expressed that they would come to visit the day after tomorrow.

There was a warm feeling in his heart, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Before he knew it, he was surrounded by people who cared about him.

As if to prevent loneliness from taking advantage, a message from Line suddenly popped up.

[Hui: Hey, you turn around to see our class now~]

Kato Yusuke turned to face the teaching building in a puzzled way, and looked towards the classroom.

The girl is standing by the window, holding her phone with her hands in front of her face.

[Hui: I caught you~ (photo)]

Looking at himself being candidly photographed on the screen, the young man couldn't help but smile, then typed the next line and replied.

[Kato Yusuke: Well, I was caught by you. 】

Some of the knots in my heart finally began to dissipate.
