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

Chapter 665 No Chanting Magic

Here in Tokyo.

The courier wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:

"Excuse me, this is your package, please sign here for confirmation."

"Thank you, hard work."

Kato Yusuke stamped the courier's instructions, sent the other party away, then picked up the large box on the ground and returned to the house, and started to unpack it.

Considering the recent situation, he also bought a computer for his family, so that he can check the music samples sent by Mr. Goto from time to time.

Although he can also borrow Yoshida's laptop as usual, as the number of times of use gradually increases, even if the other party doesn't say anything, he himself feels inconvenient.

He spent some time assembling the computer, and then installed some of the software he needed.

While video chatting with Shiwa, he checked his work email.

From Goto-san, from Kano-chan, from Mayu Sagara...

With the gradual increase of the game production progress, there are more and more things in all aspects.

Kato Yusuke was handling various affairs in an orderly manner, and Shiwa on the other end of the video suddenly spoke.

"By the way, Yu-chan, how is the situation in Sawamura recently?"

"Well... just ordinary, nothing special."

"Nothing special... In other words, she still hasn't made any progress on the original painting~?"

"..."

The boy closed his lips and said nothing.

Shi Yu hooked the corners of her mouth in a funny way, resting one hand on the table to support one cheek, her rose-like vermilion lips gently opened and closed.

"If you don't speak, I'll take it as your acquiescence? Then, has she appeared in the states I mentioned before?"

Those states, that is, the six fixed routines of the draft author.

"Little poem..."

Kato Yusuke sighed and looked at the phone, "Does it make you happy that Eriri can't draw anything?"

"No, I just like to see you deflated, it's so cute."

"Please forgive me..."

Shi Yu smiled lightly, stretched out her slender fingers to poke the screen, her beautiful wine-red eyes were full of teasing.

"How? I said long ago that creators should not be allowed to run around, but you, a fool, just refused to listen. Do you feel regretful now~?"

"No."

"Tough mouth~"

"Whatever you say."

Kato Yusuke shrugged pretending to be free and easy, took a few sips of coffee on the table, and said quietly:

"... To be honest, I'm not worried that Ying Lili won't be able to draw, I just—"

He was only halfway through when he was interrupted by Shi Yu waving his hand.

"—You're just worried that she will force herself because of self-blame, which will lead to some unexpected situation. Right?"

"Can you stop reading other people's minds...?"

"Ah, who told me to know everything about Yu-chan like the back of my hand? Or would you be happier if I deliberately pretended not to know?"

"...No, Xiaoshi should keep the status quo."

"Hey~~"

Shi Yu snorted noncommittally, with a lazy expression.

"Actually, I think you are somewhat sensitive, Yu-chan, you must know that the creators themselves are a bunch of idiots~

For them, sacrificing sociability, interpersonal, coordination, living ability and sleep time, and pouring them all into their works is nothing more than normal. "

"...It's not absolute, is it?" Kato Yusuke raised his eyebrows, "There are quite a few people who can balance life and creation at the same time."

"However, when life and creation are put on the balance at the same time, the one who will not hesitate to choose the latter is the real creator?"

"..."

"So, even if Sawamura-san will act recklessly, lose control, and go berserk, as long as she doesn't give up challenging her own limits, we just need to support her by the side."

After a brief silence, Kato Yusuke smiled softly.

"If Xiaoshi can be so frank in front of Ying Lili, I think she must be very happy."

"...The purpose of my saying this is not to please her, but to seek truth from facts."

Shi Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he picked up the coffee and drank it as if hiding his embarrassment, his black eyelashes swaying slightly.

After a while, she put down the mug, her wine red eyes focused on the front camera, smiling sweetly.

"By the way~ I used to belong to the above kind of creators. But now, if you and creation are on the balance, then I will choose you."

Facing this assertion, Kato Yusuke was slightly taken aback, and then thought for a while.

"Thank you... But if it were me, I should choose creation and spend the money I earned on my senior, right?"

Shi Yu narrowed her eyes, "...This is a very pragmatic idea."

"Do you feel angry?"

"How? If I'm angry, I'll let you know directly. I'm not as difficult as Kato-san, otherwise I wouldn't agree with you and others.

You should almost understand what a magnanimous and excellent woman I am, right? "

"--Well……?"

Kato Yusuke was speechless for a moment, and could only cover up his guilty conscience by drinking coffee.

Then, they chatted casually for a while, and then Shiyu went to take a shower.

Contemplating the blacked out screen for a moment, Yusuke Kato was about to continue working.At this time, a new email notification popped up on the monitor, and the phone rang in the next second.

"Ying Lili requests a video call"

He pressed agree, and the other party's figure appeared on the screen.

The girl was wearing a loose white shirt, her slightly wet blond hair hung over her shoulders, her snow-white skin was slightly rosy, as if she had just taken a bath.

"Good evening, Yusuke!"

"Good evening, Yinglili."

"that--"

Ying Lili looked at the phone brightly, "I just sent the two original paintings I drew today to your mailbox, have you read them?"

"Huh? I received the email, but I haven't had time to read it..." Kato Yusuke asked tentatively: "Speaking of which, have you successfully drawn it yet?"

"Don't talk so much, just read the email first to see if there is anything that needs to be revised." Ying Lili urged, her sea-blue eyes sparkling slightly.

So Kato Yusuke didn't say much, said "Then wait a moment" and started to operate the mouse to check the mail.

Only then did Ying Lili discover something in surprise, "Huh? Did you buy a computer for your family?"

"Yeah, I bought it online two days ago, so I don't have to borrow the computer from Mr. Yoshida all the time."

Kato Yusuke responded while looking at the two original paintings.After a moment, he nodded.

"Well, I saw the original painting, and it's completely OK."

"real!?"

Ying Lili's pretty face glowed with brilliance, and she couldn't help but move closer to the screen, staring at him brightly, as if to confirm whether his words were sincere.

And Kato Yusuke also gave a positive response without hesitation.

"Of course, I will forward these two original paintings to Mayu Coloring later, thank you for your hard work."

"Great...cough, I mean, oh, got it."

Ying Lili almost couldn't help cheering, and then put on a straight face as if realizing something, trying to put on a calm and mature look.

Even so, the corners of her slightly upturned mouth still showed a bit of joy and complacency, so cute that people couldn't help but want to pet her head.

Kato Yusuke smiled naturally, he just felt that this innocence was commendable, and he was unwilling to hand it over to others.

The next second, he suddenly woke up and was taken aback by his strange possessiveness.

He restrained himself and coughed.

"Cough...Anyway, congratulations on finding the touch, Ying Lili. By the way, what happened to that men's shirt you were wearing? Is it your father's?"

"……Eh?"

Ying Lili blinked her eyes foolishly, raised her right hand to cover her lips, and scanned the table falteringly.

"This... this, don't you think I don't look good in a shirt?"

"...?"

Kato Yusuke frowned, not understanding why she said that.

If you want to evaluate whether it looks good or not...

Even though his vision is as harsh as his, he has to admit that the other party is the most beautiful girl he has ever seen.

On the premise of not considering other factors, Ying Lili is Zhong Lingyuxiu to such an extent that she has perfectly inherited the advantages of her parents.

"...No, I'm not talking about that kind of question, I'm just curious about how you can wear a shirt. Didn't you still wear pajamas yesterday?"

"……Well."

Ying Lili peeped at his expression, tilted her head and asked, "I just want to wear it, can't I?"

Kato Yusuke choked for a moment, unable to find any reason to refute, he could only shake his head helplessly.

"Of course, this is your freedom. Then, if you're okay, I'll take a shower first, so you can go to bed earlier."

"Wash, take a shower—!?"

Ying Lili yelled, blushing for some reason.

Kato Yusuke looked at her blankly, "Yeah, what's the problem...?"

"This... this... why did you suddenly propose to take a bath?"

"Huh...? If I had originally planned to take a shower after contacting you, it wouldn't be considered sudden."

"But...but..."

Ying Lili played with her blond hair with her fingers, her eyes dodged and she twisted her body, "I haven't, I haven't finished talking to you..."

"...Is that so?"

Kato Yusuke understood, "Okay, then I'll—"

"--no!"

"Ok??"

"Uh...I mean, you better go take a shower..."

"Eh, but didn't you say..."

"Then, you take your phone... along with you..."

There was a gap of about five seconds in the scene.

Kato Yusuke thought he heard it wrong, and came back to his senses and asked, "...Sorry, what did you just say, Eriri?"

"I, I told you to bring your phone into the bathroom and chat with me..."

"..."

This time Kato Yusuke understood.He stared at the phone silently, with invisible pressure in his eyes, he turned his head and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Well……"

Ying Lili groaned, not daring to look at him timidly, she clasped her arms with both hands, her face seemed to be even redder.

"I... what can I mean...? Just, just chatting with you."

"Okay, then I'll listen, just say what you have to say, and I'll take a shower after you finish talking."

"Huh? But...but..."

"but what?"

"but……"

Ying Lili bit her lips lightly, showing a pitiful expression, lowered her head and said softly:

"...Because it's windy here at night, I'm a little scared by myself. Can you just keep your phone on and accompany me?"

"Fear……?"

"No, that's right... You know what? This place often makes some strange noises at night, like "click-click" or "rustling" or something. "

"Ha... I mean you, is that the sound from the windows and leaves?" Kato Yusuke held his forehead speechlessly.

"Yes, is there any way, if you are afraid, you will be afraid..."

"The problem is, no matter what, I'm still a man. Why don't you talk to Aunt Sayuri?"

"Mom and the others are attending a business meeting of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs these two days. How can I disturb you? You are so long-winded. There is a beautiful girl who is the number one in the academy willing to accompany you to talk, so I will accept it gratefully!"

Ying Lili asked unreasonably, as if giving him a great honor.

If Shiwa is compared to the queen, then Yinglili is undoubtedly the princess.

In a sense, the two actually have the same side, that is, they are both very strong.

If Kato Yusuke remembers correctly, the princess in front of her seems to have made some remarks, like prioritizing her parents' meeting with foreign princes behind her own death line.

When he thought of this, he suddenly lost his temper.

What is he compared with princes abroad?

"...Are you begging for help? But forget it, it's not impossible if it's a voice call."

"Liar? Did you agree??" Ying Lili could not close her mouth in surprise.

"You've already said so much, how can people refuse?"

Kato Yusuke sighed in annoyance.

"In short, I can accompany you until Friday night, but I have something to go out on weekends, so I can't do it for those two days. Is this okay?"

"Well! Okay, that's it."

Ying Lili couldn't help nodding, feeling secretly happy.

In fact, she originally only wanted one day, but now it is a surprise to be able to ask for three days at once, so naturally she will not let it go.

So Kato Yusuke changed the call to voice mode, then took it to the bathroom, and put the phone in the corner of the bathtub table to avoid being drenched in water.

He quickly took off his clothes, stood under the shower and began to wash his body.

huh huh huh~

The sound of hot water echoed quietly in the bathroom, and there was an indescribable feeling.

Kato Yusuke looked at the phone, and broke the strange atmosphere with a chatty tone, "And then, Eriri, what did you want to say before?"

"…………what?"

"Ah what? Didn't you say that you still have something to say? Now you can say it."

"...Oh, it's actually nothing, it doesn't matter if you don't say anything." Ying Lili responded slowly, looking a little slow.

Hearing what the other party said, Kato Yusuke suddenly didn't know what to say, and he just held back the phrase "No matter what you say, it's better than keeping silent?"

"Yes, yes... Yusuke."

Not knowing if she sensed something, Ying Lili finally opened her mouth.

"Actually, I have thought about one thing today. It seems that the CG of the Zhidai line we originally planned is a little less. Maybe we can add a few more?"

"... How many more?"

Kato Yusuke squeezed some MUJI shampoo on the palm of his hand, rubbed his hair, and asked, "Which scene do you want to add to the CG?
"For example, the scene where Tomoyo cleaned up those gangsters when he first appeared on the stage, wasn't it originally a simple cutscene? I think I can draw a CG to show the demeanor of this character, and there are other places as well."

"Well, although I want to say that I have no objection, are you too impatient? Regarding the idea of ​​adding CG, how about finishing all the existing ones first and then thinking about it?"

"I'm the type to do things at my own pace, and if I don't determine the quantity early on, it will affect the state of my drawing."

"It increases too much all at once, are you done painting?"

"Well, because I regained a little touch today, if it can go on like this, I feel relatively comfortable."

Kato Yusuke rinsed the foam off his head with a "swish", closed his eyes and said:

"Although it's a good thing to be motivated, your body is more important. Don't be brave. If you want to do it, I won't stop you, but the premise is that you have to manage your health well, eat and rest on time."

"I'll know that kind of thing if you don't tell me, you idiot Yusuke." Eriri murmured complainingly, with a hint of coquettishness in her tone.

Seeing that she was in good condition, Kato Yusuke relaxed a lot.

Although he said it lightly, he was actually very worried that the other party would appear in the situation that Shi Yu said, but fortunately, there seemed to be no such symptoms at present.

After washing his hair, he put himself in the bathtub.

slap~, slap~

The surface of the water swayed slightly, causing a slight reverberation in the bathroom.

"Well……"

For some reason, a muffled hum came from the speaker of the mobile phone, and it was fleeting.

"By the way, Yinglili."

Kato Yusuke lay back in the bathtub, put a hot towel on his face, and asked lazily:

"Now that you have regained your touch, will you be returning to Tokyo soon?"

No one responded, only intermittent breathing sounded.

"Yinglili?" He asked with some doubts, "Are you still there?"

"...um... I'm..."

Ying Lili murmured like a gnat, "Huh...what's the matter?"

"Didn't you hear? I said that now that you have regained your touch, are you coming back soon?"

"This...probably, not enough."

Ying Lili panted slightly, pinching her throat and said in a soft voice:

"I just have a little...feeling that I still need to do some more simulation training, and I will go back after it stabilizes..."

"Simulation training?" Kato Yusuke was slightly taken aback, "What is that?"

"Well……"

"Eri Pear?"

"That's... a method my mother taught me to stimulate inspiration."

"Is that so..."

Kato Yusuke responded casually, soaked the towel with hot water, and slowly wiped his face and neck area, completely emptying his mind.

Shuala~, Shuala~

The sound of water flow continued to echo, accompanied by inaudible shortness of breath.

a moment-

"uh-huh……"

A small mournful cry suddenly sounded in the air, with a bit of indescribable lust, it just drifted straight into Kato Yusuke's ears.

"??"

He opened his eyes suddenly, took the hot towel away from his face, pricked up his ears to listen for a moment, and finally looked suspiciously at the phone in the corner.

"... Yinglili? What are you doing? Did you make the sound just now?"

"Eh? Ah? Mmm..."

Ying Lili adjusted her breath restrainedly, and said vaguely:
"No...it's nothing. There are bugs in this room. I was taken aback just now. It's all right now."

"Is this... so..."

Kato Yusuke said doubtfully, and asked again:
"But I remember that the nighttime temperature on the Nasu Plateau seems to be below 0°C, right? Are there any insects that will be active at this time?"

"I, how do I know! The room is pitch black, and I didn't see it clearly, anyway there is!"

"Oh... that's fine. You should have brought bug spray, right? You can try spraying a little in the room."

"Oh, I see."

Ying Lili agreed absent-mindedly, and fell silent.
