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

Chapter 562 Interview
The next day, Kato Yusuke came to Undead River.

After not seeing him for a while, Suzuki's old editor-in-chief became red-faced.Needless to say, this must be due to the steady increase in magazine sales.

The two talked while drinking tea, and the topic of the conversation turned to the recent response to the work.

Up to now, "Chain Saw Man" has been serialized in the magazine to the 33rd episode, and the plot is in a stage where a big battle is about to start.

In order to capture the heart of the chainsaw man, the Public Security Section 4 where the protagonist Dianci is located is attacked by a group of killers.

The killers launched attacks in various places at the same time, and the demon hunters of the Public Security Section 4 suffered countless casualties.Among them, Hime Ye, the main character, was killed because of this, and Denji almost fell into the enemy's hands.

In the end, it was Maqima who was far away in the capital, and used an unpredictable method to kill people in the air, killing most of the members of the killer group, and only then rescued the dying Denji and his party.

After this battle, the Public Security Section 4, which suffered heavy losses, fell into a short period of recuperation and faced reorganization.

At the invitation of Machima, Kishibe, who claims to be the strongest demon hunter, served as the captain of the new 4th class, and conducted special death training for Denji and Pava.

Akira Hayakawa, who witnessed the death of his partner Himeno in front of his eyes, also lost his ability because of being hated by the fox demon, and chose to sign a contract with the future demon.

Since then, the little friends who have completed the upgrade of the new 4th class have regrouped and launched an arrest operation to the headquarters of the killer group, and the war is about to break out!
……

"But then again..."

The old editor-in-chief couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"Mr. Fujimoto, you were really decisive when you let the character of Himeno exit. You must know that after the publication of that issue of the magazine, our editorial department received so many letters from readers for the first time."

Kato Yusuke didn't pay much attention to these at the time, but he still asked: "Himeno's exit? I remember that it seems to be the content of last week, right?"

"Ah, that's right."

The old editor-in-chief nodded, with a wry smile on his face, "But the impact of your knife has not passed until now."

"Influence……?"

"Hey, don't you realize yourself?"

Seeing Kato Yusuke's puzzled expression, the old editor-in-chief blinked in surprise and explained.

"After all, the character Himeno not only has a certain charm in itself, but also almost got on base with the protagonist. Why can't this be a passerby character?"

He paused here and let out a sigh.

"Especially she still sacrificed herself to save Hayakawa Qiu. It's hard not to like such a good woman, but she was killed by you like that. This is really... oh..."

"...?"

Kato Yusuke looked at the other party's wistful sigh, and couldn't help but feel a little weird in his heart, and asked, "Editor Suzuki, do you really like the role of this kind of good woman?"

"Huh? Well... Maybe it's because I'm getting older and I don't like stimulation very much. I really like this kind of gentle and good woman better than the Machima that everyone likes."

"Is that so..."

How should I say this?

Although it's true that Himeno is a good woman, it's a pity that the good women in this work don't live long...

Kato Yusuke weighed it in, but decided not to tell the cruel fact to the old man in front of him.

— because he is very gentle.

"all in all--"

After reminiscing for a while, the old editor-in-chief slapped his thigh and took a tablet computer from the table next to him, "No matter how much you say, why don't you see it for yourself, teacher!"

"See for yourself?"

"That's right, I'll look for it... Yes, this is the message your reader posted under our official Twitter account, please have a look."

"Well, thank you."

Kato Yusuke reached out to take the tablet and looked up curiously.

Appearing on the screen is the Twitter account of "Shounen Undead".

The latest status was released yesterday. The content is the celebration of the release of the third volume of "Chain Saw Man".

Kato Yusuke opened the comments with his fingers, and countless messages unfolded with a "wow", rushing into his eyes.

"Miss Machima, my Miss Machima, hiss, hiss~"

emmmmmmm.

I don't know if it's because of his bad luck, as soon as he came up, he ran into a fan of a bad woman and went crazy here.

Yusuke Kato skipped this one and browsed down.

"Bring back Himeno-senpai, you bastard—!
(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻」

"Himeno-senpai, my Himeno-senpai, uh~
(;Д`)」

"Obviously Himeno-senpai has already exchanged his life with the devil, but in the end nothing can be changed, so desperate..."

"No. 14 days since Himeno-senpai died, I miss her... (涙)"

"When I saw Himeno-senpai die, I felt empty. (;Д｀)"

As editor-in-chief Suzuki said, Himeno's plot made readers who like this character mourn and mourn.

Kato Yusuke laughed at this and continued to slide down.

After the above emotional catharsis, the following content began to normalize.

"Question, does anyone know what Machima's ability is? It's too fierce to be able to kill Tokyo's killer in Kyoto! Isn't this really a god? (laughs)"

"How can there be a god in this manga? This is the world of demons, huh? As for Mazima's ability...it feels like curse killing or something. Maybe she contracted a cursed demon?"

"Are you an idiot upstairs? Isn't the cursed demon the spike weapon in Akira Hayakawa's hand? (_)"

"Compared to these! Don't you think the composition and storyboard of that scene are super impactful——? The shrine + Machima + executioner, it's so cool——!"

"I understand! That scene is really cool! The adrenaline is soaring! Miss Machima is number one in the world!! Woah~!"

The old editor-in-chief on the side saw this and couldn't help nodding repeatedly.

Although he didn't like the character of Machima very much, when he saw the storyboard for the first time, he was also shocked by the beauty of it.

Even that scene was not a fierce martial arts show, but an out-and-out literary play.

On the high mountain and under the dome, the quaint temple is solemn and solemn, exuding a faint majesty.

The tall torii gates are reflected in the sun and stand majestically.

In front of the empty temple, neat white stone slabs cover the ground.

Two rows of blindfolded prisoners on death row were kneeling on both sides with their hands behind their backs, and Maqima in a shirt and trousers stood in the center with a poker face and a heroic figure.

There is no trace of emotion in the indifferent eyes, like a god, without joy or sorrow, revealing his disregard for life.

The slender hands staggered up and down in reverse, as if performing some kind of ceremony.

"Mishima Construction"

"Takashi Inoue"

Whenever a condemned prisoner repeated a name she had pronounced, Mazima would clap her hands neatly.

In the next moment, members of the killer group thousands of miles away will explode into a blurred mass of flesh and blood, as if being crushed by a hydraulic press.

- So terrifying!
Especially under the backdrop of the movie-like storyboarding technique, the force and impact of it are even more evident!

It is really hard not to be impressed by the tension of this kind of literary drama that is not inferior to that of martial arts, and I can't help but secretly think of a monster.

"Excited! What kind of ability is this! I really like Makima-san—! doki~"

It was also from here that Machima gradually revealed her own extraordinaryness, which aroused people's infinite speculation about the demons and abilities of her contract.

In addition, there are some other discussions on the works.

"This work is simply amazing, not only the story is wonderful, but the characters are also superb!"

"Although it's great, it's also very evil. It's the first time I've seen someone who eats orange peels and apple peels, and even sees the scabs on the body as the protagonist of nutritious food. (laughs)"

"I always feel that this work feels very strange, as if all the characters are serving the plot, and Mr. Fujimoto is so decisive in giving the characters lunch, I have a bad feeling..."

"Have you noticed? The status of female characters in this work is higher than that of male characters. The bad girl Machima, the scumbag girl Pava, the crazy girl Xiao Xiaohong, each of them has a strong sense of existence!"

"Hey! The bastard upstairs! Why didn't you mention Himeno-senpai! Isn't a good woman unworthy?! (anger)"

"Actually, it's not unworthy, it's just that a good woman doesn't have a good end..." Kato Yusuke thought casually, and finally read a comment with a high number of likes.

"As a worker in a related field, aside from the plot, what I like most about Mr. Fujimoto is the various skills in it.

The teacher's painting style is a combination of arrogance and simplicity, there is spirit in the simplicity, and details in the complexity.

Especially the female characters in it have a kind of cold and capable lines, but they exude a taboo fragrance like a lily, which is full of charm.

But when it comes to the background and battle scenes, it can be drawn in a sloppy but full of tension, like a mountain rain coming, directly hitting people's hearts! "

"Hey, that's a pretty good review. Let me see the ID... Fumio Sagano?"

The old editor-in-chief was slightly surprised, and then pondered, "It's strange, I don't seem to have heard of this pseudonym in this industry, could it be a newcomer...?"

Kato Yusuke's eyes moved slightly, and some memories appeared in his mind, and his face was a little stunned, "Sagano Fumio... so it was him."

"Huh? Teacher Fujimoto, do you know this person?"

"It can't be said that we know each other, but my friend and I bought his doujinshi when we visited the exhibition."

"Doujinshi??"

"Yes. Fumio Sagano is an illustrator who runs a society called "cutie fake". "

The old editor-in-chief blinked, and a look of understanding appeared on his face, "... No wonder, so the other party is a fan creator?"

Kato Yusuke nodded with a "hmm", and then handed the tablet back to the other party.

"I'm sorry, editor-in-chief Suzuki. Since I have some other arrangements in the afternoon, can we start today's interview?"

This thing has to start some time ago.

Since Yusuke Kato was interviewed by a TV station on campus last time and attracted a lot of attention, Immortal River also wanted to join in the fun.

——So I proposed to him that I want to be an author's interview while the iron is hot.

But because Yusuke Kato had a lot of things at that time, this matter has been delayed until today.

As for why he was willing to accept the interview, apart from the fact that he couldn't refuse Undead Chuan's invitation, there was another special reason.

——That is to make a publicity for your own studio.

After all, with the completion of many affairs, his next focus will also be on game production, so he wants to take advantage of the situation to attract a wave of traffic to the studio.

Of course, he didn't hide these things from Undead Chuan, both parties had communicated in advance.

That's basically it.

Hearing Kato Yusuke's words, editor-in-chief Suzuki slapped his forehead and said repeatedly:

"Yes yes yes, look at my memory, I forget the business as soon as I chat with the teacher, I'm really sorry."

Kato Yusuke shook his head with a smile, said no, then picked up the exquisite paper bag that was put aside, and spoke sincerely.

"Also, before I came, I brought you some Sayama tea from our hometown, and I also brought some senbei to everyone in the editorial department."

"Wow! Teacher, you are being too polite, aren't you?"

"It's nothing, it's just some care. I am usually taken care of by you and everyone. If you don't mind, please accept it."

"Oh, teacher, you really are."

Suzuki's old editor-in-chief looked puzzled.

"To be honest, we should be the ones thanking you. If you hadn't brought such an excellent work, how could our editorial department have such a good situation, and how can we accept your things?"

"Can't say that either."

Kato Yusuke shook his head in denial.

"I'm just drawing comics, and things like reviewing, proofreading, typesetting, and publicity are very troublesome to everyone. These things are not expensive, so please accept them."

After a little hesitation, the old editor-in-chief of Suzuki graciously took the paper bag.

"Okay, since you insist, then we will accept it with the cheek, old man, let me say thank you on behalf of everyone~!"

"It's a little thing, you're being polite."

"Then you wait here for a while, I'll ask someone to arrange an interview right now."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

"Well, this is what it should be." The old editor-in-chief Suzuki smiled and waved his hands, and walked out of the office with vigorous steps.

Kato Yusuke took out his mobile phone and sent Huiran a message of greeting, but he didn't receive a reply.

Because the corner mark on the message didn't show that it had been read, he didn't know whether the other party was busy and didn't read it, or didn't read it on purpose.

It is difficult to draw a conclusion for a while.

Kato Yusuke stared at the screen for a while, various guesses flashed in his mind.

These guesses are like transparent bubbles, appearing and disappearing continuously, gradually forming an elusive outline.

He let out a shallow breath, put all his thoughts behind him, and murmured.

"The mountain is not just me, I come to the mountain."

Thoughts become accessible through this.

……

After finishing the interview, it was noon.

Declining the invitation of Suzuki's old editor-in-chief to have dinner together, Yusuke Kato hurried home.

Since Motoyama Mina will take the afternoon tram back to Saitama Prefecture, he must go back early to accompany her.
