Shiyu breathed out gently, and her two stretched legs were intertwined.
The skin under the black pantyhose is showing a delicate sensuality under the sunlight, giving people unlimited reverie.
"Classmate An Yi."
She lowered her eyelids and placed her hands on the edge of the bench, weaving her words.
"The next thing we will discuss here is the plot of the third volume. If you want to hear it anyway, although for the sake of the younger generation, it is not impossible to reveal it to you..."
"Ah~~! Stop talking, stop talking!"
Before she could finish speaking, An Yilun, who was standing alone, quickly plugged his ears and shouted loudly.
“I won’t be so happy if I reveal the spoilers~~!”
"……hehe."
An insightful smile appeared on Shiyu's face.
"...Even if you don't cover your ears so hard, I can't really reveal it? Even though he can't hear it now...right Kato-kun?"
The girl's beautiful eyes turned and she tilted her eyebrows towards the boy.
I saw Yusuke eating lunch quietly. The movements of his hands seemed slow but fast, but they did not make people feel rude. Instead, they had a natural and smooth feeling.
The beige sweater doesn't have a trace of lint, and the shirt that's been ironed is as white as new.
She has short, refreshing black hair with a light sheen, and the bangs on her forehead are swaying in the breeze.
She has fair skin, a straight nose, and her mouth looks... very kissable.
After taking a closer look, Shi Yu discovered that the boy's eyelashes were also thick and long, not inferior to those of girls.
"Senior Shiyu?"
As if sensing her gaze, the other person raised his head and stared at her with a faint doubt in his eyes.
"Um...nothing."
With the action of gathering the hair around her ears, the girl also averted her eyes as if nothing had happened.
The heartbeat speeds up slightly.
His eyes naturally looked downward, and what came into his eyes were first the slender fingers with distinct joints, and then the black wooden lunch box.
Two pieces of tamagoyaki, a few pieces of vegetable tempura, a small ball of white rice sprinkled with black sesame seeds, and stir-fried bitter gourd occupying a grid.
Balanced nutrition.
Although the dishes are simple, they are very exquisite.
"Hey, Kato-kun, can you give me one of these?"
Shiyu pointed at a piece of tempura.
In this regard, Kato Yusuke has no problem.
"Please use it if you don't mind."
He pushed the lunch box slightly over and nodded in agreement.
Looking at the fried golden tempura, Shiyu opened her red lips lightly and said, "There's no way to eat it like this."
Then he looked at Kato Yusuke, his ruby eyes shining brightly.
The girl then said: "...So can you lend me the chopsticks?"
Time seems to have stopped.
Facing the other party's request, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but frown slightly.
Just when he was thinking about how to refuse...
"Ah, if that's the case~~"
An Yilun, who didn't know when to give up covering his ears, suddenly started rummaging through the plastic bag on the empty seat.
"Well, I happen to have some extra convenient chopsticks here. Mr. Xia... uh, Senior Shiyu, please take them and use them!"
As he spoke, he was very enthusiastic and put the convenient chopsticks with the [7-11] mark into the other person's hands.
Seeing this, the two people had different reactions.
Kato Yusuke breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the chopsticks in his hand, Shiyu fell into a brief silence.
There was a pause of about a few seconds.
The girl opened the chopsticks in her hands somewhat numbly, picked up a piece of tempura from the lunch box, put it into her mouth, then covered her mouth and chewed slowly.
Click, click, click——
The tempura wrapped in golden coating is crispy on the outside, but the vegetables inside are very tender.
It should have been blanched in hot water with salt added in advance. The vegetables have a slight salty taste.
The combination of the three forms a wonderful combination in the mouth.
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Shiyu nodded and said, "It's delicious. Thank you for the hospitality."
Kato Yusuke responded with a smile: "If senior sister likes it, it doesn't matter if she eats them all."
"No, no need." The girl shook her head in denial.
"before that……"
She looked past the young man to An Yilun who was standing aside.
"An Yi-san, how many bento boxes did you buy?"
"Huh? Ah, because I don't eat a lot, I just buy one portion according to my usual amount." An Yilun also answered truthfully.
Regarding this.
"So you only bought one bento, but you asked for two pairs of chopsticks." Shiyu said with a smile, "Maybe I misjudged your shamelessness?"
Traces of invisible black energy continued to emerge from the girl's body.
It was obvious that the other party was smiling, but An Yilun felt a cold chill running behind him for no apparent reason.
"Xia, Teacher Xia??!"
"What's wrong? An Yilun... no, classmate An Yi ethics." Shiyu said in a drawl, her eyes becoming kinder.
"Hey~~!!! Please don't show such a scary expression!" An Yilun also shuddered, "And please don't call me that weird name, please~~!"
"Ah, is that so, Ethical-kun? I think I haven't told you just now, but in fact, in the plot of the third volume, Ma Yui sued Naoto——"
"Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" An Yilun also shook his head violently, "Please don't continue talking, that is already an act of the devil!"
Feeling that he couldn't resist, he grabbed the young man's arm.
"Please Kato, just once, stop Kasumi-sensei quickly!"
"Huh? But you look like you're having a great time."
Kato Yusuke looked confused.
"How can you tell that this is happiness——!?"
An Yilun also complained vigorously.
"Hey, Mr. Ethics, can you please die? Right now."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu asked in a warm voice.
The expressions on the faces of the three people formed a sharp contrast.
The screams echoed from the rooftop, and fell into silence again.
I do not know how long it has been.
Looking at An Yirunya who seemed to have been spoiled, Kato Yusuke thought for a while and said: "Senior, let's just ask for leave today. Let's talk about something else."
Hearing this, Shiyu glanced at him lightly, opened his mouth and said, "Actually, Kato-kun, it doesn't matter if you don't have to calculate it so clearly. The publishing house also gave me the royalties two days ago. It's probably..."
The girl named a number.
Hearing this number, not only Kato Yusuke suddenly fell silent.
Even An Yilun on the side woke up instantly.
"Pfft! Cough cough, cough cough...!"
He counted on his fingers.
"Um...the price of a library copy of "Metronome of Love" is 600 yen. According to the sales volume of 300,000 copies mentioned by Teacher Xia last time, the author's share is 10%..."
An Yilun also swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then revealed the truth with difficulty.
"...There are actually 18 million yen."
"We'll just have to file taxes then." Shiyu said lightly, "Well, besides, I'm not that interested in money."
She turned her attention to the boy.
"So you're welcome, Kato-kun, it's not like I can't afford it."
In response, Kato Yusuke slowly exhaled, then shook his head and said, "Senior, you can say that, but I can't think that."
The young man looked back and joked: "So even if I ask for leave today, I don't think senior sister will squeeze the employees too much, right?"
That smile was warm and bright, and it broke into my heart along with the comfortable afternoon sunshine.
Taking this picture into his eyes, Shiyu felt his heart pounding for a moment, then he turned away shyly and spoke in as calm a tone as possible.
"...If Kato-kun thinks there is no problem."
Where the two of them couldn't see, the girl's beautiful cheeks were already blushing.
The jewel-like dark red eyes were also dizzy with a layer of water waves, and were shaking violently.
Just listen to the young man talking to the other side.
"So An Yi, what topic do you want to talk about?"
"Hey! Can I say it?"
The other party immediately became excited.
Even without looking, Shiyu could imagine An Yilun's expression at this time.
After a short period of thinking, An Yilun finally made a decision.
"So, last time at the burger restaurant in Hehe City, Kato said he wanted to tell two stories, but in the end he only told one. Do you remember?"
"So you want to hear another one?" Yusuke Kato glanced at him in surprise, "I thought you wanted to discuss the plot of the second volume of "Metronome of Love" more."
"Well... I do think so, but it's embarrassing for you and Mr. Kasumi to accommodate me alone, and I'm not uninterested in Kato's last story, so..."
Hearing what An Yirunya said, Kato Yusuke nodded gently.
"I understand, let's talk about the other one."
That's how he spoke.
"The story takes place in a small town. The male protagonist became a delinquent due to family factors. He has been keeping company with his companions. While living a miserable life in high school, he also hopes to leave this small town one day."
"In April of a certain year, during the cherry blossom season, he found a girl who was standing on the slope in front of the school."
"It was a common sigh, one from the male protagonist who was resigned to life, and the other from the girl who was full of hope for life."
"The two people who met for the first time, just because of a few words, felt saved and began to climb the slope that one person could not climb..."
"After getting to know this girl, the male protagonist's life began to undergo major changes."
"We started climbing together, this long, long slope."
…
Gradually, even Shiyu was attracted unconsciously and began to listen quietly to this plain and heartwarming story.
An Yilun was also even more focused.
Time passed bit by bit in the boy's narration.
After listening to each other's redemption, the two people went from school to society, changed from school uniforms to wedding dresses, and successfully started a family.
An Yilun and Shi Yu couldn't help but have faint smiles on their faces.
Until the last minute.
"... Accompanied by the baby's cry, Xiaoxi was finally born, but Nagisa's face was horribly pale. Tomoya, who was afraid of losing Nagisa, held Nagisa's hand tightly and revealed every detail of the future. Nagisa was also sincerely happy. But due to his physical weakness, Nagisa still closed his eyes while Tomoya was talking to himself."
Kato Yusuke patted the other party on the shoulder and comforted him: "It's just a story, your reaction is too exaggerated."
Hearing his words, An Yilun, who was crying, raised his head, stared at his eyes that were still crying and said loudly.
"No—! It's not my fault... Wuwu, it's all your fault, Kato! Why do you design such a plot that makes people cry? Wuwuwuwu..."
"This is just one of the articles..."
He couldn't help but complain silently in his heart.
"Kato-kun."
A clear female voice came from the right.
Yusuke turned around and saw the girl looking at him with a complicated expression, and said softly: "Although I don't like the ending, it is indeed a good story. If you are willing to contribute, I can introduce Miss Machida to you."
The melancholy and amazement in his eyes are intertwined.
Looking at the young man in front of him, an inexplicable emotion filled Shiyu's heart.
Like a bottomless well, every time she thought she had reached her limit, the other party would always bring her new surprises.
She unconsciously wanted to delve deeper.
"Perhaps, being able to create with him is also a happy thing."
With this idea in mind, for the first time, Shiyu felt less resistant to introducing the other party to Miss Machida.
Kato Yusuke shook his head.
"No, although I'm very grateful to my senior sister for her kindness, I'm not good at writing, so I'll forget it."
After a pause, he continued: "Actually, there are still many unfinished parts of this story, and compared to novels, a game with a free ending is more suitable for it. Senior Shiyu, just listen to it as material. Already."
After saying that, he lowered his head and prepared to continue eating.
result……
"Yes~~~~That's it————!!!"
An Yilun on the left also stood up immediately, wiping his tears and said in a high-pitched tone: "So let's play Galgame together, Kato!!!"
"No, that's impossible."
"You refused so quickly!? Why!!?"
Kato Yusuke gave him a strange look.
"I'm talking about An Yi. Even I know that making games is not that simple. Let's not talk about the funds and production cycle, such as programming, original paintings, scripts, music, etc., can you make these things?"
"Uh-huh... this, this!" An Yilun also hesitated: "But you see... the plan is already in place, and Kato can also be responsible for the original painting. As for the script..."
He turned his attention to Shiyu.
In this regard, the girl's performance was non-committal, while Yusuke sighed deeply.
"Although I don't want to think so, are you planning to ask Senior Shiyu to help write the script? At this time?"
An Yilun, who was exposed to his idea, also looked away and said with a forced smile: "Yeah, it doesn't have to be now, and wouldn't it be a waste if more people can't know about this rare project?"
Hearing this, Kato Yusuke lowered his eyes and looked at him.
"You say that, but you actually want to play, right?"
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Yusuke continued: "If that's the case, it's better to give up. Senior Shiyu has more important things to do. I also have to participate in summer comi in August, and the final exam is coming soon, so you don't have to
Reviewing?"
Seeing the young man telling these things in a calm tone, An Yilun suddenly felt extremely heartbroken.
He couldn't help but fall into silence, and then he turned this silence into strength and said this in a firm tone.
"That is, even if this is the case, I will never give up convincing you! So be prepared! Kato——!"
