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

   Chapter 486 Steady progress and preparations

   "Slow or something..."

   Hasumi Kanako pouted a little aggrievedly.

   "It's not because you didn't make it clear, I don't usually pay much attention to these."

   Kato Yusuke put his arms on the table and propped his chin diagonally with his right fist, saying:

   "If I talk too much about this kind of thing, wouldn't it be like showing off."

   "Excessive modesty is also a form of showing off, right?"

   "Really? So... hello, I'm the cartoonist who is on fire right now, the stinky guy who made a lot of money through **** luck, please give me more advice in the future."

   "Pfft, what are you doing~? How can you say that about yourself!"

   "There will always be people who think that, they just don't say it."

   Kato Yusuke changed to a more comfortable position and said casually:

   "A classmate who was just as ordinary as me, suddenly one day won the lottery jackpot. Some people will definitely feel unhappy."

   "I told you not to say that."

   Hasumi Kanoko frowned in displeasure, feeling a little uncomfortable about him doing this to himself.

   "Besides, Kato-san has nothing to do with the word "normal" at all, right? "

   "This is a common view, unfortunately not necessarily correct.

   Just like the truth is only in the hands of a few people, I consider myself to be an extremely ordinary guy, except for my physical fitness, there is nothing else. "

   "...This is a complete narrative trick, right? Or, do you hope to get compliments by doing this? You're already a news personality."

   Hasumi Kanoko raised his foot and kicked him lightly, just like a mischief, but it happened to touch his left hand hanging on his thigh.

   So he grabbed the ankle easily.

   "I'm just telling the truth. As for the news, it's an unexpected situation. Otherwise, I still understand the reason why the money is not revealed."

  pada~

   The cute slippers were pulled from her feet by Kato Yusuke and threw them on the ground.

   Instead, a fiery palm covered it, wrapping the dorsum and soles of the feet.

   At the same time, one leg also moved down and put her right foot on it.

  The warm jade feet trembled, and the beautiful toes were curled up in a tight ball.

"…What are you doing?"

   Hasumi Kanako's voice trembled slightly, and shyly wanted to withdraw her foot, but was restrained by the vise-like tiger's mouth, unable to do so.

   Kato Yusuke pressed the acupuncture point on the heart of the foot with a little force with his thumb.

   She called out "Yeah!", and the strength she had accumulated was instantly dissipated, and she was no longer able to resist.

"do not…"

   "Don't move, I know a little massage, I'll give you a little press."

   "...You lied. Hmm—!" Hasumi Kanoko groaned, panting slightly.

   "Honey, don't move, I have something to tell you."

"…Oh-"

   She reluctantly agreed, a thin blush on her face.

   Kato Yusuke asked while massaging, "Have you ever thought about resigning from school? Xiaoyano."

"what…?"

   "Didn't you think about it?"

   "No, why did you bring this up all of a sudden?"

   As if the words were not surprising, someone continued talking nonchalantly.

   "If I said I wanted you to help me, would you?"

"help you?"

   Hasumi Kanako couldn't help falling into deep confusion, and even the strangeness from her feet was ignored by her for the time being, and she just asked inexplicably:

"…what does that mean?"

   "It literally means."

   Kato Yusuke said calmly: "I set up a studio, but there is no trusted person who can help me with it. Would you like to come to me and help me?"

  “…”

   As the voice settled, a blank time suddenly appeared on the scene.

   After more than ten seconds.

   "Kato-san's...studio?"

   "Well, it mainly focuses on making some text adventure games and other projects. It is the kind of otaku company that is often referred to in society. It is such a studio."

   After a brief period of dazedness, Hasumi Kanoko burst out laughing, and looked at him with a puffed face pretending to be dissatisfied.

   "Really, you're joking again. Do I look like someone who knows these things?"

   "Do you think I'm joking?"

   Kato Yusuke raised his face, looked back with serious but not serious eyes, and said:

   "Actually, I set up this studio before the summer vacation, and the game's production plan was not a product of whim, but was temporarily put on hold due to some accidents.

   Now I plan to restart this project and studio.

   Including Megumi, Ying Lili and Shi Yu-senpai, they are also a member of this group.

   But this is not enough, I need a more reliable person who can take care of this group. "

   "I probably understand what you're thinking, but..."

   Lotus sees Kanako hesitantly said:

   "Like I said, I don't know anything about comics and games, and I don't think I can be of any help."

   "You misunderstood, Xiao Jianai."

   Kato Yusuke shook his head and denied this statement.

   "It doesn't matter if you don't understand manga and games.

  There are many things that I can't do easily, if you are willing to come, it will be much easier. "

   "Something that even Kato-san can't do...? May I ask what it is?"

"a lot of.

   It seems that the current registered address of the studio is the apartment where I live, but it is not suitable for office, and I want to rent a suitable place again.

  In this way, it is necessary to select a new place and make changes in the procedures. "

  Lian Jian Kanako nodded slightly, indicating that he was listening, and motioned him to continue talking.

   "After the office location is determined, we will prepare for the game production.

  Because I want to speed up the process while maintaining the quality as much as possible, there may be situations where it is necessary to recruit suitable personnel.

  Compared to me, Xiao Jia Nai will give people a more reliable feeling, and it will not make people who come to interview feel unreliable, which can save a lot of unnecessary trouble. "

"Um."

   "In addition, you also need to connect with companies such as sound, art, and programming, and outsource some of the work.

   For the same reason as above, in this case, it is easier for Xiao Jia to gain the trust of the other party. "

"Um."

   Seeing that she still has no intention of making a decision, Kato Yusuke can only continue:

   "There are many other formalities and financial matters.

   These are things I can't do easily, so I'd be happy if you'd like to help me. "

   He looked over with very sincere eyes, and Hasumi Kanoko lowered his eyes and was silent for a while.

   "...is it like your agent?" the other party asked.

   "Can you understand that too, or shareholders?"

   "Shareholders...?"

   "Well, 10% of the studio." Kato Yusuke deliberately used a vague statement, without directly stating the specific salary amount.

   After all, other than him, no one can be sure what the results of the game will be after the game is released.

  Compared to coming up directly, it is much higher than Hasumi Kanako's current annual salary, which sounds a little easier to accept.

  Because there may be a situation where there will be a situation of making ends meet, resulting in these shares becoming worthless, so it is difficult to judge the value of them.

   "…may I ask a question?"

   "You shouldn't ask the old-fashioned question "Why me?" "

"why…?"

  Lian Jian Kanoko bit her lower lip lightly, her pupils were full of complexity, she just stared at him so intently.

   "I just want to be with you, I don't think too much about it, you don't have to shoulder the burden of my future life..."

  “…”

   Kato Yusuke couldn't help being dumbfounded, and then fell silent.

   He thought about it a lot, but he didn't expect the other party to say such a sentence.

   "Sure enough..."

   Ignoring his reaction, Hasumi Kanoko lowered the corners of her eyes with some affection, as if she was about to cry.

   "Although you said so much and found a lot of reasons, but you only didn't express your true thoughts, are you responsible for me?"

After   , he was the first to deny this statement.

   "No, you really just want to be responsible to me."

   She breathed shallowly, her chest heaving, and continued:

   "Though the things you just mentioned about the studio are troublesome, they are not things that you absolutely cannot do.

   Even if it is, it can be done by a more suitable person, but you have to choose a person like me who knows nothing...

What is the meaning of    here, I understand very well. "

   Kato Yusuke smiled bitterly in his heart, but there was a relaxed look on his face.

   "This is just your speculation, Xiao Jia, maybe I just want to confuse you?

   Although I am making a little money now, if this game plan fails, I will declare bankruptcy immediately.

  If the sales of the game are not good in the future, and the studio is dissolved because of this, then it will become me willfully causing you to lose your job..."

  "—if that's true."

  Lianmi Kanako interrupted him directly, and put on a very gentle tone, saying word by word, "I won't regret following you either."

   “…that is to say.”

   Kato Yusuke wriggled his lips, paused and said, "I shouldn't have to ask you if you agreed."

   "I can also give a more formal answer if you want to hear it."

  Lianmi Kanako closed her eyes, raised her right hand against her chest, took a deep breath, opened her eyes again, and coughed lightly.

   "Then... the little girl is not talented, please have more for the rest of your life..."

   "—Don't make fun of such an answer!?" Kato Yusuke stopped her in shock and astonishment.

  Lian saw Kanako laughing so much that the branches trembled, as if he was very happy to see him deflated, and even his snow-white shoulders shook slightly.

   "Are you going to be Kato-san's agent~? It feels good to be like that."

   "I can't stand it..."

   "Hey, can't stand it?"

   "Xiao Jia is smarter than I thought."

   "Really, it's obvious that you underestimate me too much.

   You must know that I am an outstanding graduate of Qingxue? Otherwise, it would not have been easy to get the offer from Toyozaki Academy. "

   "Qingxue, I will also go to Qingxue in the future."

"Oh?"

  Lian Jian Kanako narrowed his eyes slightly, tilted his head with a half-smile, and asked in a long voice, "Because there are many beautiful women in Qingxue?"

   Kato Yusuke kept his mouth shut, lowered his head as if he didn't hear him, and silently kneaded the slender feet in his hands.

  The five beautiful toes are aligned inward, and the nails are neatly trimmed and very beautiful.

   He couldn't help but stretched out his fingers and fiddled lightly on it.

   The five toes twitched uneasily, and couldn't wait to get back to the master.

   "It's itchy like that, and I'm a little tired, can you let go of my feet?"

   Hasumi Kanoko said timidly, the irritation rising from her feet made her a little uncomfortable and a little shy.

   Men do not touch their heads and women do not touch their feet.

This is what    says.

   Kato Yusuke didn't continue to tease her, so she readily retracted her foot, and sent the slipper that fell on the ground with her toes.

   Hasumi Kanoko blushed and pulled on her slippers, took out a few wet wipes from the table and handed them over, and whispered:

   "Wipe your hand, you're weird, don't you feel dirty..."

   "It's just a massage, what's so weird, what are you thinking?"

   Kato Yusuke calmly told the villain first, and wiped his hands with a wet towel.

   As for dirty or not?

  Naturally not dirty.

   The other's feet were not only very clean, but also had a faint scent like soap.

  Lian saw Kanako glanced at him angrily, secretly thinking about whether to let him kiss his feet as revenge next time, and then suddenly thought of something.

   "Hah, Kato-san."

"what?"

   "Apart from me, did you tell the rest of the school that you are a cartoonist?"

   Kato Yusuke didn't understand her intentions, but he still gave an answer.

   "I only told the members of the student council about this, and An Yilun from Class A of the other year also knew about it."

   "Anyi-san... um, that's a problem child too."

   "He and Ying Lili are childhood sweethearts, and Yingli Li also wants him to join, and is currently a member of the existing team."

   "So that's how it is... those two children..."

  Lian Jian Kanako murmured in surprise, and then changed his words.

   "Then, besides these people, have you told anyone else?"

   Kato Yusuke shook his head and denied: "At least I don't remember that kind of thing, why do you ask that?"

   "Well... Actually, Director Yamashiro sent an email to all teachers yesterday, asking everyone to come to school early this morning."

   "Is there anything strange?"

   Hasumi Kanoko shook her head.

   "It's not surprising so far. The strange thing is that when everyone came, they were immediately assembled, saying that they were preparing for emergency response."

"what do you mean…?"

   "About halfway through the meeting, those media reporters came to the school... It was like..."

   "Is it like the school already knew in advance that the media was coming?"

   Kato Yusuke added the following words for her, and Hasumi Kanoko nodded affirmatively.

   Thinking about it carefully, the teachers responded very quickly this morning, and the division of labor was clear. It really didn’t look like a temporary response.

   Instead, he seemed prepared.

   Kato Yusuke also saw that scene in the morning, but he didn't think much about it at the time, but now hearing Kanako Hasumi's reminder, he can't help but think.

   At a certain moment, a figure suddenly appeared in my mind.

   "Nakano-senpai..."

   he couldn't help muttering to himself.

   followed by—

   "I said ~ Kato-san?"

   A tasteful voice reached his ears.

   "You shouldn't have shot that Nakano-san?"

  …
