Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home

   Chapter 124 The two on the rooftop

   On the breezy rooftop, on the benches of the pergola.

   Shi Yu and Yusuke sat side by side.

  Smooth black long hair with a jet black color that deeply inhaled the sunlight, the girl who was so beautiful and emotional asked aloud.

   "Kato-kun, are you from the Sayuka faction?"

   This is the question Shi Yu asked him when discussing the heroine theory.

   Kato Yusuke paused slightly as he chewed.

   "Why do you say that?" He raised his head and asked back after swallowing the food in his mouth.

   "Because...you have discussed similar topics on the rooftop before." Shi Yu responded casually.

   "Before, that was before the second volume came out, right? Sa Yuka was the only heroine at that time."

   Kato Yusuke suddenly said, and then glanced at the girl in surprise.

   "In other words, did senpai really hear the conversation between An Yi and I at that time?"

   Shi Yu's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he looked away.

   "After all, you were sitting next to each other, so naturally it will be like this."

   After a brief pause, the girl continued.

   "So, after reading the second volume, do you still think so? Or do you prefer Zhen Yu as the second heroine now?"

   In response, Kato Yusuke shook his head slowly.

"No, although Zhenwei's character is also very attractive, I still prefer Sha Yujia. Her psychological activities make people feel very delicate and real. Although there will be a little entanglement in it, but it is more able to do so. Impressive."

"…Ha ha."

   Hearing what he said, Shi Yu let out a chuckle, and then said jokingly: "Why do you feel like you're teasing me?"

  Dark red eyes stared at him, full of intelligence and elegance.

   "There is no such thing."

   Kato Yusuke shook his head in denial: "But, sure enough, Sa Yuka's prototype is Senpai herself, right?"

  The girl gathered her hair around her ears and took a sip of the bottled coffee.

   "After all, I had no experience in creating characters at the time, and I wasn't very good at getting along with others... In addition, I didn't understand other girls at all. So, I had to find a blueprint from the nearest place."

   Kato Yusuke nodded lightly, "That means Sa Yuka will win the final volume of "Love Metronome"? After all, it is the author's avatar."

   "According to the original idea, it should be like this." Shi Yu said: "Because it was a work submitted for the grand prize, I originally planned to end it in one volume."

   Seeing that the other party had some doubts, Shi Yu explained it to him.

   To put it simply, according to the newcomer award rules of the Fantastic library, "Love Metronome" should have belonged to a love story that ended in one volume.

  The only characters that will appear are Naoka, the male lead, and Sa Yuka, the female lead.

   In that volume, it tells the story of the encounter between the two and their faint love, so that no matter who reads it, they will feel that Sha Yujia is the official match. There will be no surprises, no super-expansion, and the story should be so simple that it doesn't even need a sequel.

   But it would obviously be a loss for both the author and the publisher to let the works of the newcomer award winners end in one volume.

   That's why there is a second volume with new content like DLC, and the second heroine, Zhenyu, will appear.

The    story also deviates from Shi Yu's original plan, and turns into an ambiguous love triangle that revolves around the three, just like cultivating fighting dogs.

"I see."

   Kato Yusuke, who was fortunate enough to hear these unknown insiders, nodded understandingly.

   "But even so, the stories written by senpai are still very exciting, and the sales can also prove this."

   Hearing this, Shi Yu's eyes flickered slightly.

   "A work that cannot be sold even if it is well-received."

   These are the original words of the editor-in-chief Yamashina, who was said to be Machida-san's boss.

   Thinking of this, she couldn't help but said to the boy, "I wanted to ask before, Kato-kun, don't you usually pay less attention to topics on the Internet?"

"Um?"

  Although I felt a little strange about this question, Yusuke Kato answered truthfully in a responsible attitude towards his employer.

   "Occasionally, I hear some from my friends, but compared to normal high school students, I may be really small, and I've also been told that "there is no Line" and so on. "

   "Why?" Shi Yu then asked.

   "Is this..."

   After thinking about it, Yusuke Kato simply took out his mobile phone.

   "On the one hand, it is because the mobile phone does not support it, and the network communication fee should also be considered. It is probably like this."

"Eh…?"

   There was a ripple in the girl's eyes, "...that means a laptop or something..."

   "Sorry, I don't have that in my house."

   Kato Yusuke said in a flat tone, and then raised his head as if remembering something.

   "But if there is a U disk, there is one."

   Hearing the words…

   "Pfft."

   Shi Yu couldn't help but covered her mouth and laughed, "You are very interesting, Kato-kun."

   At the same time, I understand that it is precisely because of these reasons that the other party is somewhat obtuse about its popularity and commercial value on the current network.

   "That's the situation, if you want to laugh, just laugh." Kato Yusuke shrugged, then continued to lower his head and eat the bento.

   "Hah, Kato-san."

   A fragrant wind came.

   With the soft and hard touch on her cheeks, the girl with a smile in her voice said so.

   "You're cute, I don't hate that..."

   Kato Yusuke reflexively removed his head and looked back.

   I saw a mischievous joking smile on the girl's face, and she stretched back the finger that had just poked on his face.

   Before he could say anything, the other party changed the subject.

   "Then, let's move on to discussing the work."

   Shi Yu, who was sitting upright, pushed the rhythm of the topic.

   "Now the reaction on the Internet is that Zhenwei's popularity is higher. Do you have any suggestions?"

   After a brief pause, Kato Yusuke, who thought for a while, told the other party some of his views.

   Apart from the teasing behavior just now, Shi Yu did not make any similar actions later.

   The two of them revolved around the work "Love Metronome", and you and I communicated word by word.

  From the development of the plot in the future, to the positioning of this work in the light novel industry, to the linkage of some cross-media cooperation.

   Kato Yusuke, who seriously recalled his past life memories, dutifully put forward many opinions and suggestions.

   Many of them can't help but make Shi Yu feel bright and even a little surprised.

   As if he had discovered a treasure, the impression of the boy in Shi Yu's heart was gradually changing.

   slowly shines.

   "Anyway, Machida-san agrees, so let me monopolize it for a while..."

   She couldn't help but think so.

   A smile appeared in the corners of his eyes.

   Starting today, the boring school days seem to be fun too.

   Thank you for your subscription, monthly pass, and recommendation ticket.
