"Hey... um... are you kidding? You are definitely kidding! Kato!"
Facing Tonya Aki with a collapsed expression, Yusuke Kato took a sip of oolong tea and said noncommittally.
"what do you mean?"
"Sayuka, Sayuka! Do you really want to draw that kind of evil plot?"
"This...it's not impossible."
Kato Yusuke responded with a joking smile and turned a blind eye.
"But let's forget it this time. After all, I've already finished half of the line drawings, for Sayuka and Naoto."
"Your character is too bad, isn't it————!?"
An Yilun also responded with a resentful look and said, "Please, don't make such a joke."
Kato Yusuke chuckled at this, and the irritability in his heart was greatly relieved.
"Let's get down to business." He opened his mouth and said, "Have you read the blog and Twitter today? I want to understand the current situation."
"No, not yet." An Yilun also shook his head, "Because the phone was turned off during class, so what is going on now...I don't know very well."
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to turn it on.
Kato Yusuke didn't find it strange why the other party turned off his phone.
Although Japanese high schools allow students to bring mobile phones, they still have to put them in silent mode or turn them off during class.
It probably took a few seconds.
"Come on, okay."
An Yilun also showed him the screen.
What caught his eye was a simple-looking girl.
The girl with tightly tied braids and rustic black-framed glasses looks like she is trying to hide her freckles. The girl with her head lowered exudes a strong sense of inferiority.
A question mark floated softly on his head.
"What does this mean?" Kato Yusuke cast a confused look at Aki.
"Ah, it turns out it's not unlocked yet." An Yilun, who glanced at the phone screen, also explained.
"She's the heroine in "A Kiss with Effortless Care". She's cute, isn't she?"
Kato Yusuke did not answer, but calmly threw out three words.
"Hurry up."
"Oh...wait a moment."
Perhaps sensing his impatience, An Yilun also hurriedly opened his blog and Twitter, and handed his phone to Yusuke Kato.
Skip this unimportant information, here is a brief introduction to the work.
[Regarding the work "Metronome of Love", I am convinced that this is a very good work that can become popular. Please support and buy it. 】
[Attached here is a very, very, very beautiful work of Sayuka that was created twice by Teacher Eromanga.]
Seeing this, it is as if the world, which was originally only black and white, was suddenly injected with colorful colors, shining in the eyes of the audience.
Then there is a long and passionate introduction.
The content revolves around the plot of "Metronome of Love" and the paintings of teacher "Eromanga", and I wrote hundreds of words of personal reflections.
Because the content was too disgusting, he jumped over it and pulled it directly to the bottom comment area.
As An Yilun also said, they are all positive comments.
"Hey, this painting is surprisingly good."
"The characters are so well drawn! So beautiful!"
"Not just a painter, the novel is also very interesting. I am reading it recently."
"I'm interested in novels. Let's buy one and read it."
…
Switching to Twitter again, the comment area here is in a similar situation. Even if a few people find it unpalatable, in general there are still many praises.
Therefore, Kato Yusuke nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time he also gained a new understanding of Aki Rinya's abilities.
Because it was only last Friday night that the other party updated the website, it had only been two days, and the current effect was beyond his expectation.
All that's left is to draw the final draft of "Metronome of Love" as soon as possible in preparation for participating in the fan exhibition in August.
With this idea in mind, he came to the art room as usual after school and successfully met with Eiri after two days.
It is worth mentioning that.
Hishida-senpai, who took several days off last week due to physical discomfort, finally came to participate in club activities today.
There was no sign of illness on his rosy face, and he was laughing and joking while chatting with the members.
It's just that he only shows silence when he sees Kato Yusuke...or it's a kind of deliberate ignorance, but he no longer blocks him from entering and exiting the second art room.
In this regard, Kato Yusuke is also happy to see the results.
As for what the other party is thinking or what his plans are, he doesn't care, as long as he doesn't bother him again.
"This is what you want."
He handed the original manuscript of "Sayuka" sandwiched in the drawing book to Eiri, and the girl accepted it without ceremony.
His blue eyes studied the painting carefully, then turned around and asked: "The style is different from your previous works. How many styles of painting do you have?"
Hearing Eiriri's question, Kato Yusuke's eyes flickered, and then he responded.
"Maybe there are many kinds, maybe there is none."
The former refers to others, and the latter refers to himself, saying that he is good at imitating.
This ambiguous attitude made Yinglili very dissatisfied.
"What? That's the kind of statement that makes people angry."
"Just stating the facts."
Kato Yusuke shrugged, "As long as I can sell the book, style and the like are not important to me, no matter what, it's fine."
"Extreme, but the conclusion is correct."
Yinglili couldn't help but look at him, thought for a while and said the following words.
"After all, it is compared to the kind of creators who simply hold on to their passion and ideals and just want to promote their own preferences without observing fashion trends and updating their products."
"On the contrary, it is a creator like you who is focused on business, who can steadily participate in many events and make money without making mistakes."
Having said this, the girl paused and finally said in conclusion.
"And I think the most important thing is... if the work cannot be sold, if there is no popularity, there is no point in doing fan activities."
After hearing what Eiriri said, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but look at her in surprise and weaved his words.
"I thought you would think that a guy who always talks about making money is vulgar."
"That's right! How can a guy with such simple ideas continue to create?"
Ying Lili responded with her arms crossed.
"Don't say it's every month, but it's a weekly event. Can those people launch new issues one after another like us?"
She focused her serious gaze on Kato Yusuke's face, and spoke in a tone that was clear and melodious, but also contained inexplicable courage.
"Just maintain this motivation and continue to create excellent works."
"That way, you can be considered a qualified commercial creator."
