Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

Latest website: August 15th, the opening day of Xia COMI.

The entire "TYPE-MOON" studio went out and arrived at the Tokyo Big Sight in Koto Ward.

This CM still follows the usual practice of placing community booths and corporate booths in the east and west halls respectively.

The position obtained by "TYPE-MOON" is the wall area 62a adjacent to the fire escape.

The location obtained by "rouge en rouge" is 62b, which is next to the entrance gate of the East Building.

Although there is only one word difference between the two, there is an irreparable gap in the middle, which respectively symbolizes the ranking of popular societies and top societies.

It is now 7:30 in the morning, two and a half hours before the exhibition starts.

The venue has gradually become lively. Members of various clubs are busy preparing their own stalls, and the buzz of conversation is full of enthusiasm.

"TYPE-MOON" studio is here.

Yoshida and Mishima Yuba, who were participating in Summer COMI for the first time, were looking at the mountains of goods in front of them with solemn faces.

Yoshida: "Are these stacked cardboard boxes all going to be sold in one day?"

Mishima Yuba: "You're lying, right? How many CDs are there here!"

Hasumi Kanoko answered their questions with a smile while setting the table.

"We have a total of 10,000 here, and Ms. Hongsaka's has 20,000."

""Twenty thousand--!" ? ""

Yoshida and Mishima Yuba exclaimed and looked next door together, their eyes filled with emotion.

At the "rouge en rouge" stall, both the types of products and the quantity of goods are extremely exaggerated.

"Hey, Yoshida-senpai! This is just a game, can it really sell so many??"

"How could I know? Don't ask me!"

"Hmm, our studio won't end up going bankrupt due to poor sales, right??"

"Idiot! What nonsense are you talking about? You haven't started selling yet..."

"Ah, Yoshida-senpai feels guilty!"

The two of them were talking to each other, looking worried.

Shiyu had just finished displaying the promotional materials and couldn't help but sigh deeply when he heard their conversation.

"Unfortunately, that won't happen. Instead of worrying about the bankruptcy of the studio, it's more practical to consider whether the goods we have prepared are enough to sell."

""Eh--? ""

Seeing their doubts, Shiyu pointed in a certain direction with his eyes.

Not far away, dozens of otakus were gathering near the "TYPE-MOON" booth with suspicious expressions.

Some of these people were taking photos of their goods, some were on the phone discussing something with whomever they were talking to, and some had already started queuing up.

"Did you see that? Those people are the so-called fan speculators. They will get early admission tickets by falsely reporting to the club, and then go to those popular stalls to buy hot products."

The two country bumpkins were stunned for a moment.

Looking at the "rouge en rouge" side, the number of speculators surrounding the stalls was even greater than them.

However, the members were not surprised by this, and instead skillfully assisted the organizer's personnel in the evacuation work.

Mishima Yuba exclaimed: "So aren't those people exhibitors? I thought they were sent by other societies to find out about the enemy!"

Yoshida touched the stubble on his chin, "Hey, does this mean that we are actually highly anticipated?"

"So haven't I already said it?" Shiyu pushed her hair back and talked eloquently.

"Our works are very popular. Well, after all, this is the fruit of love between me and Yuu-chan, so it's only natural that it will be popular, hehehe~"

Yoshida and Mishima Yuba looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

The scriptwriters in their club are top-notch in appearance and talent, but they are all about love. Once this topic comes up, they will be immersed in their own world.

The two of them kept silent knowingly and went to the convenience store to buy breakfast together.

Xiangraku Zhenyu, who had been squatting on the ground and eavesdropping, raised his head mischievously, put his hands on the edge of the table, and said something to Shiyu in confusion.

"But, Kasumi Shiko-sensei. Isn't it because our game has attracted so much attention because of Ms. Benisaka's good promotion and the fact that the theme song was covered by an idol~?"

Shiyu's smile froze, and she twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "...are you gradually becoming more articulate? Miss Xiangraku."

"Ah, no, teacher Kasumi Shiko is angry! Something bad is going on. Sister Hasumi, help me~~~"

"Sorry, I have to go to the organizer to submit samples. Just get along well." Hasumi Kanoko joked with a smile and walked away.

"Eh--!?"

Xiangraku Mayu was shocked. How dare she stay with Shiyu after she had just finished ruining the show? She shouted, "Hasumi-sama, I'll accompany you!" and shamelessly chased after her.

Shiyu pouted contemptuously, sat on the iron pipe chair with his legs crossed, and then stretched out. Both his movements and his expression were particularly attractive, causing many of the housekeepers who were secretly paying attention here to freeze in place.

The next second, some kind of metal object with a smooth surface suddenly and silently pressed against her cheek.

"ah!"

Shiyu let out a soft moan reflexively, and was startled by the cold touch.

She suddenly looked back and found that it was a can of coffee she often drank.

There was a faint evil smile on the young man's face, and he asked knowingly: "What is 'ah'? Xiaoshi, you are so cute."

Shiyu's tense nerves relaxed, his brows instantly relaxed, and he immediately reached out and pinched someone's forearm.

"Hiss~ It hurts." Kato Yusuke bared his teeth.

"Don't do this, I'm not trying hard at all." Shiyu gave him an annoyed look.

The young man smiled silently, pulled up a chair and sat down next to him.

He flipped his wrist, opened the pull tab with a slight hook of his clean and slender fingers, and handed over the coffee.

"Thank you for your hard work, I'll give you a condolence gift."

"Oh." Shiyu took the coffee without saltiness and asked, "Is Akane Benisaka here too?"

"Well, she's talking to the organizer."

"Didn't she just get discharged from the hospital yesterday? Are you so eager to come and take command?"

"Akane has this kind of personality, no one can stop her." Kato Yusuke shrugged, looked around and asked, "Where are everyone?"

"Kano-chan and Miss Sagara went to submit samples, and Mr. Yoshida and Miss Mishima seemed to have gone to the convenience store."

"What about Megumi and Eiri?"

"The train Kato-san is riding on has stopped running due to some conditions. Sawamura should be here later."

Kato Yusuke paused knowingly, while chatting with Shiyu, he looked at the venue aimlessly.

The sunlight shines on the ground through the huge glass windows, forming a pale golden interlaced light and shadow.

In the wide and bright space, hundreds of stalls are neatly distributed around, displaying various comic works, games, figures and peripheral products.

The air is filled with the strong scent of ink and paper, giving people a feeling of anticipation and nervousness.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the scene with nostalgia.

"I always feel like I haven't been here for a long time..."

After hearing his words, Shiyu looked sideways, then chuckled and responded:

"So, on this day last year, you and I were the ones helping Sawamura look after the stalls, right?"

"Yeah, I remember that Xiaoshi and Yinglili haven't gotten along well since then. I was quite puzzled when you said you wanted to help."

"Why were you so young at that time? I had to try my best to get closer to you. Can you really not see what I mean to you?"

"Well, I feel it more or less..."

"poor."

Shiyu stretched out a white finger, pressed it on his cheek angrily, and poked it again and again.

"If that's the case, why didn't you agree to me? You weren't dating anyone at the time. Did you dislike me because I'm a year older than you?"

"I'm not dating anyone..."

Kato Yusuke said without any emotion, and then he grabbed her hand with his backhand, his face not red and his heart not beating.

"How could that be? I just think it would be a pity for a girl as outstanding as Xiao Shi to match an ordinary person like me, so I hope you will consider it carefully."

Shiyu's brows twitched, five fingers passed through his fingers and clasped tightly, and said unhappy:

"How are you ordinary? I don't agree with this view.

It was because of you that I came back to life. You gave me a lot of precious creative inspiration, including the birth of our game script at that time.

There's nothing ordinary about you, so don't put yourself down again, that makes me very unhappy. Understand? "

Kato Yusuke was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement with a smile.

Only then was Shiyu satisfied. She took his arm, brought the coffee to his mouth, and gave him a sip.

The surrounding otakus witnessed this scene, their eyes almost overflowing with envy and resentment.

Shiyu caught a glimpse of this scene from the corner of his eye, and said with a smile: "Oh~ are we regarded as that kind of couple's stall by others?"

Kato Yusuke was about to speak when the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He returned an apologetic look to Shiyu, and then took out his cell phone.

"Who called?"

"Oh, it's Xiao Xi. She said yesterday that she would come today, so she may have already arrived."

"Then pick it up quickly."

"good."

Kato Yusuke nodded with a relaxed expression, moved his finger to press the answer button, put the phone to his ear, and at the same time raised his eyes to look towards the entrance.

"Hey, is it Xiao Xi? Where have you been? Tell me the specific location and I will pick you up."

"Brother Yu... I'm sorry, we may not be able to go to your side."

"Huh? What did you say?"

Serizawa Yu said with some embarrassment: "It may be a bit sudden for me to say this, but we just received a call for help from a girl, and we must go to the rescue next."

"Rescue?" Kato Yusuke's eyelids twitched and he suddenly became serious, "What do you mean by this? Tell me in detail."

"Well, I don't know the details, but it seems that a girl was imprisoned by bad guys. Sister Sayu and I originally made an appointment to meet Brother Yu together today, but she went out after receiving the call."

"madness--!"

Kato Yusuke's voice suddenly rose an octave, which not only made Shiyu next to him tremble in fright, but also the people nearby looked over in surprise.

But he didn't care about this at all, he just said angrily:

"Is she sick!? Does she think she is superman? She dares to rush up regardless of what is happening? Where has she gone!"

Serizawa Yu on the other end of the phone was almost frightened to tears and couldn't even speak clearly.

"Ah... that... that... Sister Sayu seems to have gone... to Shinjuku. No, but she is not alone... Mr. Lin and Brother Yu's three friends also seem to have gone..."

As if she thought her persuasiveness was not enough, the girl added nervously.

"Also, another thing is that I just contacted Asami-san and Xiaoxiang. They said they would go to Sayu-san to meet with... I'm sorry, Brother Yu, I should have stopped Sayu-san..."

"..."

Kato Yusuke rubbed his eyebrows, and although his tone was a little sharp, he was still very low, "...No, it's not Xiao Xi's fault. I just said something too harsh, I'm sorry."

Serizawa Yu quickly denied: "That's not the case! Brother Yu is not wrong."

"Have you called the police?"

"Not yet. Sister Asami said this might be a fraudulent call, so I need to confirm the situation first."

"I understand, remember not to do anything dangerous, and notify me in time if anything happens."

"Yes, I understand. If there is any further progress, I will tell Brother You as soon as possible."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Kato Yusuke suddenly lost the mood of Xunfeng's relief, and just fell into deep thought until a question sounded in his ear.

"Yu-chan? What happened to you just now..."

He turned to look beside him and found Shiyu staring at him intently, with inquiry and uneasiness in his burgundy eyes.

He was startled for a moment, and then he considered telling the whole story about the conversation just now.

In just a few sentences, Shiyu understood the whole story. The phalanges of her hand turning slightly white when she held his hand, she looked at him and asked calmly:

"...Hmm, so you didn't know in advance that the girl was planning to come today?"

Kato Yusuke nodded in affirmation.

When Serizawa Yu contacted him yesterday, she only said that she was coming, and did not mention that she would go with Sayu.

But through the phone call just now, he also realized the plan behind it.

Unknowingly, Sayu seemed to have gradually gained Xiao Xi's trust.

Seeing that his reaction didn't seem to be fake, Shiyu slowly loosened his grip on his hand. She calmly withdrew her sweaty hand and said in a calm tone:

"Well, I don't know if this is true or not anyway. Maybe someone is playing a prank because they don't like the association. You don't need to worry too much, right?"

"Yeah...that's true. I'm sorry just now, Xiaoshi."

"It's nothing." Shiyu shook his head gently, lowered his eyes calmly, and smiled helplessly.

"Anyway, can you cheer up quickly? Today is an important day for Yu-chan to realize her ambition."

Kato Yusuke nodded again to express his approval.

In any case, he has met and lost many people since he started planning and working hard last year.

Everyone has worked hard together until now, and today is finally the day to verify the results.

He took a deep breath and decided to put those irrelevant things behind him for the time being and focus on the next exhibition first.

At this moment, I suddenly received a LINE message on my phone.

[Xiao Xi: Brother You, that girl sent more detailed information.

She said her name was Kyoko, that she now lived at 2-9-15, Kabukicho, Shinjuku-ku, and that the name of the bad guy who imprisoned her was Yaguchi Kyouya. 】

Kato Yusuke was stunned for a moment, then his pupils suddenly shrank and his expression suddenly changed.

Snap——

The sturdy mobile phone screen was suddenly cracked.
