Several more hours passed after that, and it was evening.
"Click——"
Crisp electronic vowels sounded from the mobile phone.
"It's almost time for dinner."
Kato Yusuke, who withdrew his attention from his Twitter account, murmured, then turned to the girl who was working hard at the table and asked: "What do you want to eat tonight? Eiriri."
"...Let me think about it, let's have instant noodles."
The response was interspersed with subtle sounds of writing. Although it was not smooth, it still gave people a sense of comfort that progress was indeed being advanced, which was a glimmer of hope for the current situation.
"By the way - because I consumed too much fat at noon, it is really unhealthy. Remember to filter it for me after cooking?"
"You already eat instant noodles, do you care about whether it's healthy or not?" Kato Yusuke secretly cursed at this, but he said "I understand" and walked out of the room.
Now he no longer argued with Ying Lili about whether to order takeout. In order to ensure that the other party could successfully deliver the manuscript tomorrow morning, he decided that it didn't matter even if he was a part-time "tool worker", as long as someone didn't waste his time.
With this idea in mind, Kato, the valet, and Yusuke returned to the room successfully ten minutes later, with two bowls of Shin Ramen, one red soup and one white soup, on the tray in his hand.
The reason for this is that several pieces of oil-absorbing paper were used in the cooking process, which is very consistent with the local light eating habits.
"One serving of oil-free instant noodles, please use."
Kato Yusuke read: "Where do you want to eat? Miss."
"Hmm~ Leave it over there on the sofa, I'll come right away." Ying Lili nodded pretendingly, showing the arrogance of a young lady.
"..."
The boy who put down the tray walked up to her, took out a comic book from between the mannequins on the table, rolled it into a paper tube, and raised his hand to hit the head with the soft blond hair given by God.
"……it hurts."
"Give it to me. Then show me what you have written now."
The victim and the perpetrator spoke different words.
◇
"It's really not good this time... I haven't even finished drawing one page of the main text, but there are only twelve hours left. It's really urgent like never before."
"...I don't want to say it, but do you understand that the main reason is because of yourself? What is going on in this state of "summer homework must be left until the first two days of school before starting to write it", you
Are you a primary school student?"
"Huh? Where do you come from with so many complaints? Please don't do this. It's really annoying."
"Maybe it's because I've seen a lot of your lazy habits in the past two days, and since you made the matter so serious, why are you delaying it until now? Shouldn't you have finished the notebook step by step earlier?"
"...There is no reason for a writer to procrastinate."
"..."
The conversation was interspersed with the sound of pages turning and the sound of one large and one small eating noodles, while the background music was still a nostalgic animation song.
'Instead of being so restless, giving up is actually an option...'
Kato Yusuke raised his eyes and looked at the opposite side, considering his words: "Maybe we can give up using flatbed printing and make photocopies instead? Didn't you say that there are still people who directly sell the drafts as limited editions..."
"How could I possibly do that! What do you think of the person who came to buy the book?" Ying Lili interrupted him directly.
The anger and seriousness in his tone made Yusuke slightly startled.
Before he could feel inappropriate about what he said, the girl who seemed to have been stepped on was continued.
"Basically, do you know how scary and empty it is to make limited-edition photocopies? Not only do you have to stay up late to draw, but you also have to run to the convenience store early in the morning to hurriedly make photocopies, and then rush to staple them before the show.
Into a book.
As a result, after spending so much time and effort, we can only end up with a financial deficit, but those who reported false reports and were able to get tickets in advance were able to take advantage of the opportunity to buy out all the books and then auction them off online to make a fortune."
As the tone of voice gradually rose, the words were filled with a sense of gnashing of teeth.
"In the end, instead of criticizing those wicked people who resell books, people who can't buy them will come to dislike me! They often call me a has-been writer!
The most egregious thing is that after causing so much trouble, he casually compressed the scanned image into a file and spread it on the Internet! This kind of behavior that does not know how to respect others is no different from scum."
This is another self-destructive statement that is so specific that it seems like personal experience.
However, the true emotion in his heart is not so much that he feels sorry for the fans who support him, but rather that he is angry that he is losing money, while scalpers can take this opportunity to make a lot of money.
What he said made Yusuke Kato couldn't help but scratch his head, "... Speaking of which, I have heard of someone taking a translated book and running to the author's Twitter to leave a message criticizing the plot. It's not that I can't understand you.
Mood. But let’s calm down first.”
"Translated book?"
Ying Lili looked at him with confusion, "Since you specifically mentioned this matter, does that mean it was used for translation without permission?"
"Yeah - and it seems that the list of the translation team was posted, so the author later specially drew a translated comic and asked for support for the original comic manuscript and posted it on Twitter. It's quite embarrassing to say that."
"...Is there such a thing in the industry? When did it happen? Why haven't I heard of it... And what do you mean by embarrassing it?"
"Well...it happened so long ago that I can't remember it clearly."
Kato Yusuke shook his head and said: "In short, the author definitely hopes that readers will support the genuine version. This kind of thing is natural, but the small talk should stop here. We should focus on your work."
He looked at the two scripts in his hand and said, "So the next step is to decide between 'Haruki vs Yukina' and 'Haruki vs Kazusa'? After all, you only wrote these two."
"Well... I guess. After all, the audience for lily themes is very small, and NTR's themes will hit you, so that's the only way." Ying Lili took out a tissue from the table and wiped her mouth gracefully.
road.
"Isn't there a version with three people?"
Kato Yusuke glanced at her in surprise, "It turns out that you actually designed lines for such a pure love series. It's really rare."
"It depends on what you think. You have to know that there are enough depressing plots such as jealousy, jealousy, and love fights in this work. Although the script is designed to be exciting enough, if the story is too heavy, the audience will
I feel stomachache, so fan works can take advantage of this in turn."
Eiriri explained indifferently, her words inadvertently revealed her acumen for the market, which made Yusuke take a high look and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"It would be great if you could be so reliable in self-discipline..."
Then he changed his words: "But having said that, the first heroine in the original work of this work should be Ogiso Yukina. Don't you plan to draw her directly?"
"I hate that kind of heroine."
Yinglili responded without hesitation: "I always feel that the girl is too versatile, like a doll. It feels like the plot is going back and forth."
"I remember that character seemed to have the title of "Miss Minejo"?" Kato Yusuke said thoughtfully.
"What do you want to say?"
"No, I just suddenly remembered that there seemed to be this selection during the school festival in our school. I saw it in the student union documents."
"Yes. Well... Anyway, I prefer the more humane Touma Kazusa."
Yusuke silently thought about the settings of the two characters in the original work.
Compared with Yukina, who has an innocent and innocent personality, Kazusa is indeed a taciturn and indifferent character.
As the heroine who single-handedly carries the depressiveness and negativity of this work, she has a very important position but is sadly buried in the play.
Of course, the hidden setting of her mild affection for the male protagonist Haruki will not be shaken at all.
For this reason, many famous memes and famous paintings of the century were born. It can be regarded as... no, although the name is different, from the plot point of view, it is actually the "White Album" in this world.
The above are all answers he came up with after comparing it with Wikipedia. After all, he had not read this work in his previous life and only gained a little knowledge from the Internet.
Thinking of this, he followed Eiri's words and responded: "In that case, then you can draw Kazuya's version."
What she got in return was the girl's denial, "No, but judging from online surveys, Xuecai's popularity is still higher. If sales are taken into account, her books will be easier to sell."
"...Then choose Xuecai."
"Have I told you that I hate her?"
"...Then Hesha."
"Well, but I'm so unwilling to do so."
While speaking, the white and tender hands placed on the knees could not help but clenched into fists, and the finger bones were slightly white from the exertion.
"Should I say you brought this upon yourself?"
Kato Yusuke said with a dark face: "Anyway, I'm going to wash the dishes first. You can continue to think about it, but you must give me a result when you come back."
After speaking, he took the dishes and left the room.
As for the two lines, they were left on the table.
…
When he returned to the room again, Yinglili had already moved from the sofa area back to his desk.
As if anticipating his actions, the other party who heard the knock on the door spoke first: "I've thought about it. This situation really needs to be compared in practice, so let's compare the lines."
"Right lines?" Kato Yusuke frowned slightly.
"That's right - I'll read the heroine's part, and you'll read the hero's part."
(elderly, subway, mobile phone.jpg)
"You, what's going on with that look in your eyes!? Is there anything wrong with finding someone to simulate an erotic scene when you're indecisive?"
"...If you haven't noticed, I can tell you, but it's basically what you're talking about now."
stare--
"Obviously you have acted opposite that Kasumigaoka Shiu before? But you can't help me with my lines?"
"No, that's right..."
"It's already spread around the school. Oh my, it's said to be quite a wonderful performance."
"so……"
"While you were compiling those reasons, the deadline was shortened little by little." The girl who put her arm on the chair rolled her eyes at him.
His speech was flexible and clear, and he suddenly threw a heavy punch.
Kato Yusuke: There is a saying I don’t know whether to say or not...
There was a silence for ten to fifteen seconds.
"...Okay, give me the lines."
In the end, it was Yingli Li who won the battle.
What follows is both simple and yet not simple.
Even if he decided to draw a pure love series, as a master of the humiliation department, Kashiwagi Eri-sensei's content design is different from others.
As if to make up for the regret of not being able to show off her skills, a certain girl arranged a very intense fighting sport on the bed, which is reflected in the lines.
The specific performance is——
"Chunxi...Chunxi...I'm in so much pain, so sad, and so lonely."
"Hesha... you are just torturing yourself. I have always been treating you..."
"Liar...you lied...after Xuecai appeared, you have been attracted to her."
"that is because……"
"I've always been so scared...Afraid that you would leave...Afraid that you would leave me alone...Obviously it was me who came first...whether it was kissing, hugging, or falling in love with you!
"
"How could I leave... I want to be with Hesha all the time."
"Chunxi...I'm so happy."
"So you have to smile, Kazusa."
"……Um."
"That's it, because you're cutest when you smile."
"…………"
"So, from now on, you must always stay by my side with a smile on your face..."
"……Eh--"
"Huh? What's wrong, Kazusa?"
"It's almost time to get in. There are almost not enough pages left."
"Who told you to design your lines to be so long... Yinglili."
The pen tip made a heavy sound when it landed on the paper.
The procrastinating and endless description of the mood seems green.
Coupled with the sudden change of address, the girl's breathing became slightly faster.
"Okay, it hurts...!"
"Hold, sorry, I'll pull it out first."
"I'm telling you, there aren't enough pages anymore! Move quickly!"
"…………??"
The heat in the room is gradually increasing.
"Love me more...love me more."
"I just said it... I love you the most in this world."
"Just saying it...I don't believe it."
"What do I need to do so that you are willing to believe me?"
"Violate me."
"..."
"A deeper desire for me."
"..."
"Do more outrageous things to me."
"…………"
"Do to me...things you would never do to other girls."
"…………"
"And it's so intense that only I, who can tolerate everything about you, can cooperate..."
"………………"
"Hurry up and read the lines to me! It took a lot of effort to get the picture right."
"...That thing is called a storyboard, and you're blushing like a bubble teapot over there?"
"Don't come to your senses! It'll make me want to die!"
"...That's not the problem. It's a shame that you can get others to do this kind of work."
“All mistakes can be justified on the eve of the deadline!”
"Hesha...my Hesha."
"Chunxi...my Haruki."
"Basically, I already want to rest outside on the balcony..."
"It will only make you tired when you go out and so on. Just keep Haruki in your mouth..."
"No, that's not a line."
"Okay, let's give you a loving hug now... No, it's better to wait until the end of the queue to get inside the body. Then we'll finish the painting later. In this case, wouldn't it be more appropriate to start from the back...? Well, pure love works are also acceptable.
Anal? Right? Yusuke."
"?????"
◇
So half an hour later, following a tortuous and arduous process, the two scripts were finally completed.
There, the two people who performed the sex scene were disgraced and turned into empty shells.
There was obviously no physical contact with each other, but the strong sense of exhaustion that enveloped the spirit completely put both parties into a state of shutdown after their brains overheated.
"If you dare to leak this matter, I will kill you."
Yinglili's feeble voice was filled with warning.
"...No matter from which aspect, there will be no next time for this kind of work Yinglili."
Kato Yusuke, who kept rubbing his eyebrows, continued her words and said, also feeling very much in agreement with this matter.
"So in conclusion, which faction are you going to choose...?"
"I can't do it... Now my mind is full of party struggles, and I have no energy left to think about it. Let me take a rest first..."
"No. For the sake of helping you with your lines, at least please give me a clear answer here."
"Let me tell you, asking for a favor in front of a girl is a serious demerit..."
"Really speaking, that's something only those boys who want to improve your favorability need to consider, so you don't have to consider me."
After hearing this, Yingli Li turned her face sideways and lay on the table, her hair swaying gently along the line of her jaw. She waved her hand lazily to him as if drawn by the curling of her lips.
"It's Heshala Hesha, are you satisfied with this..."
Kato Yusuke immediately sat up straight: "I can't thank you enough. So without further ado, let's start sketching before the enthusiasm has dissipated."
Yinglili: "...? Are you a devil...?"
…
I don't know how much time passed like this.
When a ray of sunlight begins to shine through the window...
"finished……!"
As this clear voice, like an oriole emerging from the valley in the morning, spread across the room, it also signaled that this trip had finally come to an end.
