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

   Chapter 108 Cancelled Decision (2 in 1)

  OM—

  OM—

   The smartphone on the bed vibrated tirelessly.

   Kasumigaoka Shiyu, whose eyes were covered by the bangs on his forehead, stretched out a slender jade arm to grope, and smoothly picked up the phone from the corner of the skirt.

   "Teacher Kasumi..."

   A capable female voice came from the receiver.

   The blue silk spread like a waterfall on the bed, and the girl responded with a plain and tasteless tone.

   "Hello, Miss Machida. Just...I just finished writing..."

   was interrupted before he finished speaking.

   "I'm really sorry—!"

   With a strength that seemed to penetrate his heart, the other party said the following words in a clear and excited tone.

   "The release date of the second volume has been decided! Bookstores have also sent reservations!"

   "And it's not just that the number of pre-orders for the second volume far exceeds that of the first volume! Even the first volume is now urgently reprinted!"

   "Therefore! The decision of "Volume 2 will be cut in half" is withdrawn! Although it may not reach the expected five volumes, the third volume can continue to be written! "

   "This is, it's amazing..."

   There was a faint choking in his voice, but that was joy.

"Eh…?"

   Feeling this, Kasumigaoka Shiyu couldn't help but sat up from the bed and asked while holding the phone.

   "But...why is it so sudden...?"

   "Actually..." Ms. Machida, who had calmed down, explained softly, "It's because of a topic on the Internet... No, it's because of a picture."

   "...a picture?"

   "Yes! Have you been watching Twitter recently? A very powerful artist uploaded a second creation, Sha Yujia's work."

  Miss Machida continued: "It has become a big hit on the Internet now, and even the popularity of novels has risen!"

  "...?" Shi Yu was puzzled, "Will just a picture have such a big sales effect?"

   "But it's really amazing." Miss Machida said firmly, "Just a glance can make people feel amazing, I will send you the URL now, you can go and have a look right away."

   "But the manuscript for the second volume has already been written..."

   Kasumigaoka Shiyu said as he walked to the computer. Reached out and tapped twice on the keyboard to resume work from hibernation.

   "And I remember it was only a week before the deadline."

   Hearing her words, Machida-san's words came one after another, in a very high-pitched tone.

   "Even if you only change the last two chapters! I will try to extend the deadline for you! So please make sure to change it to the point where you can continue to develop!"

   "Please, please, please, please~!"

   Even the coquettish method was used.

   Kasumi Hill Shiyu embraced in silence.

   "But I don't have the motivation to write novels anymore..."—These words were not spoken. She just controlled the computer and opened the webpage sent by Miss Machida.

   "[egoistic-lily] and [TAKI's blog]...why are there two?"

   "Ah, these two sites are currently searching for "Love Metronome", ranking No.1 and No.2 respectively."

  Machida said happily: "One is a creator club in the fandom world, and the other is a personal blog for fans. Since there are works by the artist on both sides, I will send them to you together."

"is that so…"

   Hearing the other party's explanation, Shi Yu first browsed the former's webpage.

   Click into the portfolio, and you will see a variety of cute character pictures (general age).

  Even though the appearance and shape are different, you can still clearly feel the strong personal style and the artist's creative enthusiasm.

   I felt a little touched in my heart.

   She started looking for the work that Ms. Kimachida was talking about.

  Because the sites are sorted by the latest date, it didn't take long to find what you were looking for.

  Tap your finger on the trackpad to enlarge the thumbnail.

  “…!”

   Clean and tidy picture, beautiful and smooth lines, brilliant light and shadow effects.

   Makeup, skin tone, clothing, facial expressions of characters, everything is just right.

   has a harmonious natural feeling, as if the world in the painting should be like this.

   is like a rush of electricity flowing through the whole body, and the abundance of spring quietly blooms in the heart, rendering the world colorful.

   Witnessing this scene, Kasumi Hill Shiyu couldn't help covering her mouth.

   The characters in the picture are lifelike.

The beautiful smile on   's face is full of life experiences that she has never experienced before.

   "Kasumi...Sa Yuka..."

   The gleaming dark red pupils trembled slightly, and an indescribable emotion flooded into my heart.

   "Little poem...?"

   Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, the opposite Miss Machida couldn't help asking softly.

   "...Yes, I'm fine." Shi Yu's voice was slightly hoarse, and he paused: "I'm just a little surprised..."

   "Really~?" Machida-san's tone became cheerful, "Which one are you looking at now?"

   “egoistic-lily.”

   "Ah, in this case you can also check out that blog, which has post-reading comments written from the perspective of fans, as well as comments on the Internet."

   Shi Yu did as she was told.

   As Ms. Machida said, compared to the simple display of works on the former website, there is more communication and interaction here.

  Quiet and beautiful eyes browse the content of the blog.

  From the personal impressions of the site owner to the lively message area.

   After reading the whole chapter, Kasumigaoka Shiyu's mood also changed unknowingly.

   But what impressed her most was the painting.

   is like a clear spring passing by, infiltrating the soul silently, sweeping away all the haze.

   "Eromanga-sensei... huh."

   The corners of his mouth could not help but raise a radian.

   "How is it?" Miss Machida continued on the topic just now, "I think this should stimulate your desire to continue writing, do you get motivated~?"

  “…”

   A brief silence.

   "Sure enough, Machida-san can't be helped."

   said in a beautiful female voice.

   "Just letting Maui appear in the second half, the story doesn't connect at all. According to the original outline, she is the second heroine who needs to appear from the prologue."

   "Then! Let's find a way together to solve this problem with the least modification possible? How can we give up at this time...!"

  Machida-san hurriedly said.

   to this.

   "What are you talking about..."

   Kasumigaoka Shiyu's mouth showed an inexplicable smile.

   "Isn't there a week before the deadline?"

   Her fingers operate on the keyboard.

   "I know it's hard! But—"

   "Sorry, I just lied."

"Eh…?"

  【Deleting: Love Metronome Volume 2 (350kb)】

   Looking at the flashing progress bar on the screen, Shiyu Kasumigaoka said.

   "Actually, I haven't written a single page of the second volume."

   "Teacher Kasumi...?"

Ding-

   A crisp prompt sounded on the computer, Shi Yu closed the pop-up notification of [Deletion Complete] and said to the phone.

   "So, I'm starting to write now, and I can probably catch up."

   The girl's face was no longer confused, and the only thing left was firmness and calmness.

   "In case... please help me fight for it, Miss Machida."

  Machida-san, who seemed to understand something, exhaled and responded forcefully.

   "...I know, leave it to me here!"

   "Please show them the true strength of Kasumi-sensei! Be sure to surprise everyone!"

In exchange for   , the girl gave a quiet but powerful chuckle.

   "Ah, I see."

   continues tonight.

  …

   Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka -

   da da da da da da da-

  The rushing thumping and stomping are intertwined with the creepy evil laughter.

   "Hi...ha..."

   "Hehe...hehe..."

  The girl who was completely enveloped in a dark aura was fighting in front of the computer.

   That is a field that no one can step into.

The pictures in   's mind are turned into words, and the dynamic characters form sentences, weaving vivid stories.

   Let me sink into the quagmire...

   Even my doppelganger will become unfortunate...

   Into intense love, crazy love.

   Work hard to laugh, work hard to be sad.

   Then, although I don’t know when—

   "Welcome joy, gain happiness..."

  The night wind did not sleep, causing a cicada to chirp, and it turned into a thousand hands in the shadows of the trees, moving the moon, and lost the branches supported by the silver plate, and it fell to the ground and made a chirping noise.

   After an unknown amount of time, the girl lay on the table and fell asleep, revealing a beautiful face like a bright moon.

   Only the blinking cursor in the document on the screen was silently witnessing this scene.

   Accompanied by a long breath, a hazy babble came out of those soft lips.

   "Mr. Erromanga..."

   This is destined to be a new chapter.

  ◇

   Next day

   In the art room full of oil paints and turpentine, Yusuke Kato is instructing Harumi Toyama.

   "...Here, we should pay attention to the level of color, and the composition should also distinguish the primary and secondary. When painting, we must keep this in mind, so that we can find the right direction."

   "Yes...that's right! Thank you Kato-san."

"nothing."

   Before he could relax, the first-year **** the other side also raised her hand excitedly.

   "That, I'm here too! Kato-senpai."

   Kato Yusuke walked over to the girl.

   "You don't need to call me that if you're in the same grade."

   While staring at the drawing board, he said, "The works of gouache paint will have a light inspiration. Pay attention to the color matching. You should use lighter colors here."

   He pointed twice at a certain position on the drawing board to point out the problem.

   Serious eyes and a handsome face make him look very attractive.

"Yes, it is!"

  The girl nodded with a blushing face, then took out the thing hidden behind her back, looked at him from the bottom up and said.

   "That... if you don't mind, please use it!"

   Looking at the oolong tea in the opponent's hand, Kato Yusuke shook his head and said "No".

   "That! Kato-senpai also invited us to drink last time. This is a return gift." The girl stood up and explained.

   Hearing what the other party said, Kato Yusuke pondered for a while, and finally accepted the drink and expressed his gratitude.

   "It's really popular, Kato-san."

  Toyama Harumi said with a smile.

   "...that's the only good thing about drawing."

   Hishida responded indifferently.

   Her eyes were focused on the drawing board, and she dipped a paintbrush on the paint board, sketching her works one by one.

   "Hitsuda-senpai seems to be a lot more serious than before"

   Looking at Kato Yusuke, who was indifferently guiding the first-year freshman, Toyama Harumi couldn't help but whisper.

   "Perhaps... It's really a good thing that Kato-san can join the art club."

at this time-

"good afternoon everyone."

   With the sound of the door opening and closing, the heroine, who was a little later than usual, entered the art room.

   "Sawamura-san!" x2

   "Sawamura-senpai!" x2

  The girls hurrahed and gathered around.

  Condolences such as "Is your body okay?" and "Please take care of your body" are endless, and those who don't know think that he is really fragile.

   On the other hand, Ying Lili was able to face all this with a warm smile on her face, and greeted everyone in turn without letting anyone be left out in the cold.

   "...Yes, it's alright, how was everyone yesterday?" She greeted politely and gracefully.

   "Yes, yes~! When Sawamura-senpai was away, we were all working hard to improve our strength." The first-year girl replied rushingly, and she peeked at Yusuke Kato in the middle.

   Then he continued: "...and Kato-senpai also gave us a lot of guidance and learned a lot from the seniors."

   "Kato-senpai?" Eiri tilted her head slightly.

   "It's Kato Yusuke-kun." Harumi Toyama explained in a timely manner: "It seems that they decided to call it that because they were instructed, and their relationship has improved."

   "That's right..."

  A pair of azure blue eyes crossed the crowd and stayed for a moment on the boy by the window.

   I felt a little irritable in my heart, but it disappeared quickly.

  Eri Li smiled and nodded to everyone.

   "Then, I still have an unfinished work, so I'm sorry."

   After saying that, he walked to the second art preparation room, opened the door with the key, and walked in.

   And Kato Yusuke also had a calm face, and followed him with a shoulder bag on his back.

   Seeing their figures disappear behind the door, the girl who brought Kato Yusuke a drink couldn't help but said with a look of longing.

   "In the next year's art exhibition, I wonder what kind of excellent works those two will create..."

   Hearing what she said, Toyama Harumi also said with a smile.

   "It's really exciting. Taking Sawamura-kun and Kato-kun, maybe next year's gold and silver awards will belong to our school."

   Except for Hishida, who walked back to his seat at some point, everyone else nodded in agreement.

   and began to look forward to the day when I can see the true works of the two as soon as possible.

   I just don’t know how they would react if they realized that the object of their worship is actually a very vivid subject matter—18 banned book painters.

   always feels like it must be wonderful…

   In the second preparation room separated by a door, it is another scene.

   "...It's barely okay."

   This is the evaluation given by Ying Lili after reading the revised version of "Early Summer Time".

   This vague statement, coupled with that expressionless look, made Kato Yusuke frown at once.

   After thinking about it for a while, I confirmed that I have indeed revised all the questions that the other party has commented on.

   With the attitude of not being ashamed to ask, he asked directly.

   "Are there any specific deficiencies?"

   Thank you [Kingani World No. 1], [HeartsCho], [King XVZ], [Yunxiao FLY], and [Omachi Kai] for their rewards.

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