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

   Chapter 418 Trivial Daily Life

   At seven o'clock on Friday night, Yusuke Kato received a call from the Manga Department of Fudogawa.

   Kimura on the phone first apologized for the disturbing thing at night, and then he touted the results of "Chainsaw Man" a little, and then went to the main topic and discussed with him about the layout of the next issue.

   The whole phone call lasted 15 minutes in total, of which only 3 minutes were spent talking about business.

   Kato Yusuke didn't like this way of speaking with too long foreshadowing, but he didn't interrupt, but listened quietly to the whole.

In general.

   The other side explained to him the situation of "Toe Juggernaut", as well as the reason and reason for the queue cut in the next issue, and the words were very respectful.

   Finally, he mentioned Suzuki's old editor's love for him, and asked him to prepare an illustration to send over in his spare time as the cover of that issue.

   nothing else.

   After finishing the call, Kato Yusuke put away his mobile phone, turned around and walked into the roast bird shop behind him, and returned to a certain seat in front of the bar.

   Yoshida in a shirt was sitting here, and when he saw him coming back, he took the initiative to ask: "What's the matter? Is it the family's phone number?"

   "No, it's work."

"Work?"

"Um."

   "Oh, oh, you did say that you were the student council president last time."

   Kato Yusuke thought for a while, this understanding was a bit wrong, but explaining it here is a bit like showing off, so he did not correct the other party.

   The place where the two of them are located is a chain of roasted bird shops two blocks away from home.

   For some unknown reason, Yoshida knocked on the door after get off work and invited him to have dinner together. Yusuke, who was alone at home, had no reason to refuse, so the two came here together.

  A male clerk with his uniform open on his chest and a turban wrapped around his head brought menus for the two of them and asked, "What do you two want?"

   "I want a draft beer, where's Kato-san?"

   "Oolong tea."

   "What about food?"

   "Mr. Yoshida, you can decide."

   "Then eight strings of fat intestines, eight strings of local chicken, eight strings of fried beef, eight strings of chicken with green onions, eight strings of five-flowered flowers, four strings of salted cabbage and four strings of cabbage with sauce."

   "Okay—!" The clerk replied energetically, placing the order to the barbecue chef behind the bar.

  draft beer, oolong tea and cabbage were served quickly.

Yoshida picked up the large glass, gulped half a glass of beer in one breath with relish, and then let out a lazy cry, "Puha", and subconsciously stretched his hand to the pocket of his trousers, but when he reached halfway, he stopped. stop.

   "It doesn't matter if you can smoke." Kato Yusuke said at the right time, "I don't mind this, and there are people smoking next to me."

  Yoshida glanced at the office worker next to him, but instead of taking out the cigarette in his pocket, he picked up a bunch of cabbage and ate it.

   "You seem to be in a better state recently than before. Has your troubles been resolved? Kato-san."

   Kato Yusuke went through the recent events in his mind, and hummed, it counted as a response.

   "That's it, that's good." Yoshida said with a sigh of relief.

   "—The two of you have been waiting for a long time!"

  The clerk came over, brought the other skewers ordered by the two, and then put the matching dipping sauce in front of them.

  There are three kinds of dipping sauces, namely special dipping sauce, yellow mustard and special miso.

   Kato Yusuke took a bunch of fat sausages, dipped it in a special dipping sauce with garlic paste, and took a bite.

  The taste of the large intestine is very soft, there is no fishy smell, and it is very smooth.

   "About the things you told me last time..."

   "Last time?"

   "Mmm, um." Yoshida coughed vaguely and said, "It's about Miss Goto. She asked me about Mishima's work yesterday."

   "So today I'm going to talk about Mr. Yoshida's crush?"

   "...No, I'm just talking casually, sorry, if you don't want to hear it, forget it." Yoshida said, picked up a bunch of chicken skewers, dipped it in yellow mustard, and ate it under cover.

   Kato Yusuke also picked up a skewer of chicken and spring onion, and asked, "Is there something wrong with that Miss Goto?"

   "...Is there something wrong or something? According to what you said last time, the number of times I have been instructing Mishima a little more recently. As a result, Ms. Goto seems to be quite concerned about Mishima's situation?"

   "Why is it an interrogative sentence?"

   "Well... Maybe it's because I misunderstood, but I just think Ms. Goto's appearance is a bit strange. It seems that she is not just concerned about Mishima's work."

   "So Mr. Yoshida thinks that Miss Goto is jealous."

   "Cough cough, cough... I said you-"

  Yoshida seemed to be choked by his words, hurriedly grabbed the beer at hand, took a few sips, and then said with a blushing face.

   "It's all because I said something strange to you a while ago, and I couldn't help thinking about that... But thinking about it carefully, Ms. Goto should really only care about her work, ummm."

   After saying that, he continued to eat skewers, as if to convince himself.

   Kato Yusuke glanced at him and asked thoughtfully, "Mr. Yoshida, what do you do?"

   "…Eh? My words are in charge of programming and software development, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

   "Nothing, just suddenly understood."

   "Huh? Understand what?"

   "Mr. Yoshida may not know much about girls."

   "—What?" Yoshida's brows were clearly wrinkled, and he said unconvincingly, "Why do you come to such a conclusion? Besides, Miss Goto is a mature woman, so the word girl is wrong."

   Is the question here…

   Kato Yusuke silently raised his level of straightness towards this neighbor and said, "If you are not sure about what Mr. Yoshida just said, why don't you try to ask Ms. Goto for dinner."

After    finished speaking, he added: "By the way, I mean the two of you alone."

   "Huh? Why do you want to emphasize that? No, if you invite Goto-san like that, wouldn't it be a date!?"

   "…is this something that should surprise you?"

   "Surprised..." Yoshida opened his eyes in astonishment, and immediately seemed to be angry, grabbed a string of fried beef and ate it, muttering as he ate.

   "Obviously you're still a student, speaking as if you understand well..."

   "Just a little bit better than Mr. Yoshida."

   Creeping, Yoshida ate the skewers silently, confused by his understatement, and couldn't help but ask, "The question is, how do I send an invitation?"

   "... Basically, I'm usually the one invited, but it's a little bit of a question for you to ask..."

   Kato Yusuke didn't know what to say, thought about it and said, "If you want to say it, just invite the other party just like you invited me, wouldn't it?"

   "No. These two things are different!"

  Yoshida scratched his cheeks unnaturally, held up his beer as if embarrassed, and whispered: "Basically, a man invites a woman to dinner alone, this is already a clear sign that I am interested in you...?"

   "...Just eating makes you so nervous, so when you meet someone in the back to send each other home, and go upstairs to drink coffee, are you really okay, Mr. Yoshida?"

   "Drink, drink coffee—!?"

   "Hmm... I'll give you a tissue, let's wipe it first." Kato Yusuke pulled out a tissue from the table and motioned him to wipe off a little beer that was spilled from his shaking hands.

   "Hug, sorry!" Yoshida took the paper and wiped it on his pants in a hurry.

  After cleaning up...

   "Excuse me, please add four strings of lion tang green peppers, four strings of roasted bean curd with mashed radish, a roasted rice ball and a glass of draft beer."

"no problem-!"

  Yoshida added more food to the clerk, as if to hide the embarrassment just now.

   "Have you finished ordering so much?" Kato Yusuke asked.

   "Huh? Shouldn't the appetite of high school boys be stronger?"

   "Then let's wait for the AA system."

   "No need, don't underestimate the single social animal! My savings are not enough to even invite a kid to dinner!"

  Yoshida dismissed his proposal involuntarily, then pursed his lips again, pretending to be calm and said, "And the topic just now, go to Miss Goto's house for coffee... Do you think it's possible to get to that point?"

"-impossible."

   "You denied it too quickly??"

   "Mr. Yoshida, I think it's better to have the courage to invite Miss Goto to dinner."

   "...As expected."

"Um."

   Seeing that he was a little frustrated and hesitant for a while, Kato Yusuke thought again.

   "Mr. Yoshida, are you doing programming?"

   "Huh? Ah, um, what's wrong?"

   "Then maybe you can think about it differently."

"What's the meaning?"

   "Take the bug in the program as an example, if you leave it alone, the program will not be able to run successfully, right?"

   "Huh? Isn't that of course?"

   "So the same goes for Miss Goto. If you don't fight for it because you're afraid of falling out of love, you won't have a day to enjoy love."

  “…!”

  Yoshida couldn't help but froze in place, then frowned and fell into contemplation, as if he had tasted the taste of love.

   After that, the two chatted casually about some topics, then drank the red miso soup that was the shop's signature, and returned to the old apartment together after having a full meal.

   When the two came back, they happened to meet Mami who was about to go out, so they briefly chatted.

   The main speakers were Yoshida and Mami, while Kato Yusuke was more of a listen.

   After the last visit, the extroverted Mami can be regarded as getting to know Yoshida, and because of the common bond of Yusuke, they can be regarded as familiar with each other.

  The girl wears glasses on her face, and she still speaks in that hot girl voice, but with a little more gentle temperament.

   "Speaking of which, Mami is about to take the exam, right? Has the university been chosen?"

   When Yoshida asked about this topic, he joked about convenience.

   "The question that Yoshida-san asked is too old! Of course that kind of thing has already been decided."

   "Yes, yes, that's what I said, sorry."

   "Hahahaha, I don't need to apologize. After all, Yoshida is already an old man. It's normal to not remember things from high school."

   As she said that, Mami raised three fingers and said generously: "Tokyo University, Hayao University, Aoyama College, my wishes are these three~~"

   "Wow, aren't they all famous schools that are quite difficult to get into! Is it okay?"

   "Wow, Yoshida, are you underestimating me? This is too much!"

   "Uh, sorry, just unconsciously..." Yoshida scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly.

   And Mami waved her hand and continued: "Well~ don't look at me like this, the deviation value in school is also more than 70? Do you understand?"

   "It turned out to be an honor student!"

   "So saying 'even' is superfluous! But that's it, OK Ranch~!"

   "This, this, um, then you have to study hard, I wish you to be admitted to the university of your choice."

   "I'm still joking, thank you. Ah, no, I have to go to the convenience store to buy things, so I won't tell you about it. See you next time, Yoshida, Kato."

   Mami, who glanced at her watch, greeted them and trotted away.

   Kato Yusuke turned to look at Yoshida beside him, and said, "...Then I'm going back too, Mr. Yoshida."

   "Well, you go up first, I'll smoke a cigarette outside." Yoshida nodded and said.

"it is good."

   So he went back to the room first.

  After returning to the room, I added water and food to the cat as usual, and cleaned up the cat litter.

   Then sit down at the desk and turn on the pen display.

   Kato Yusuke started to draw the cover illustration for the next issue while thinking about the Undead River.

  The original manuscript for Episodes 2 and 3 of "The Chainsaw Man" submitted to Undead River last time was 47 pages, and the total manuscript fee was 564,000.

   Among them, 150,000 was given to Shinjo incense, 400,000 was repaid by the Yingli family, and the rest was reserved for daily expenses.

   According to the current calculation, without using the system points to exchange money, it may take a long time for him to fully pay off the arrears.

  Although Mrs. Sawamura did not urge him, Yusuke Kato decided to speed up so that he could pay off his debts as soon as possible.

   As the manga of "Chainsaw Man" has been well received, and as there is no interference from Aksaka Zhuyin, he has no worries and can let go of his hands and feet and continue to draw.

   is different from the average manga author.

  With a complete resource in his mind, he doesn't need to think hard about the plot, discuss with the editor and revise the storyboard repeatedly.

   All he needs to do is draw what’s in his head, so naturally he won’t be restrained too much in this regard, and the speed is far beyond what others can match.

  Perhaps the only question to consider is whether the Fude River is willing to accept a large number of manuscripts at one time.

   Kato Yusuke decided to take the time to go to the Undead River to discuss this issue with the manga department.

   And what he didn't know was.

  Because he was worried about his reaction, Kimura did not tell him that he wanted to arrange a copywriter for him, and only thought about discussing it after finding a specific candidate.

   So there is a wonderful misunderstanding...

  …

   Thank you [jj50311 for the reward].
