After leaving the student union, the group did not go home immediately, but went to nearby Salia for a dinner party.
On the pretext of celebrating the relaunch of the game project, An Yilun also proposed this proposal, and Kato Yusuke did not refuse.
So it evolved into the current situation.
Under the guidance of the waiter, several people sat down face to face at a large table by the window.
As his girlfriend, Shiyu sat beside Kato Yusuke openly, and the others didn't say anything about it.
In order from window to aisle.
The people sitting in the row on the left are Shiyu, Yusuke Kato, Megumi,
Sitting in the row on the right are An Yirunya, Eiriri, and Shinjoka.
Everyone ordered food from the waiter and then got drinks from the drink bar.
The group of people chatted naturally while waiting for the food to be served.
"Speaking of which, Kei, Kasumigaoka Shiu."
Ying Lili took the lead and asked, "In the contract you just signed, do you two share the same 10% share?"
"Um...um~~That's what I'm saying." Hui took a sip of melon soda and nodded lightly in affirmation.
"That's it~ What about you, Kasumigaoka Shiyu?"
After getting the answer, Yinglili turned to the next person, only to hear this answer.
"Ha~ Why should I tell you?"
"Huh? What's there to hide? Besides, you heard what Hui and I said!"
"Even if that's the case, so what?"
Shiyu glanced at her lukewarmly and said:
"I neither asked you nor forced you to tell me. Isn't it you who has been talking to yourself over there?"
"Varied……!"
"To be honest, I'm a little surprised~ Even though I know you are a young lady who doesn't understand the world, you really don't understand the world of society at all, Sawamura."
boom!
Yingli slammed the table and asked loudly: "What do you mean by this!?"
Ignoring her fierceness, Shiyu knocked her legs up nonchalantly and said:
"What I mean is that your question is very ungrateful, isn't it?
Things like other people's salaries and incomes are common knowledge that even the president of a company would not be able to openly ask about... It's a shame that you can ask so easily."
"What! I understand, you want to say that I violated others, right?"
"What I'm saying is that not only are you very ungrateful, but you also don't understand the ways of the world at all. You should forget about the latter part."
"Are you going to piss me off to death??"
Yinglili's face turned red, but she still spoke harshly.
"It's obviously your fault to bring the things from society to school! Besides, even if I don't understand people and things, do you, a dark and sinister woman like you, have the right to criticize me——!?"
"Although there is no need to tell you this kind of thing, I naturally understand it. I just don't think it is necessary to abide by it."
Shiyu casually brushed the hair beside his ears and said mockingly: "Also, it's not about human relationships but about human relationships, you idiot."
"!?"
Yinglili couldn't bear to be so despised.
"It's so noisy! Don't tell me, you seem to know me very well! Kasumigaoka Shiu!" She said, leaning forward to support herself on the table, and kicked her feet under the table diagonally across.
…
--winter!
"it hurts……!"
Shiyu, who was still sitting firmly on Mount Tai, suddenly frowned and his face was as gloomy as water.
"...Can you please stop doing such an unseemly thing? Sawamura-san!" She said with a stern face, and at the same time she retaliated unceremoniously.
winter!
"It hurts!?"
The pain in her calf made Yingli scream uncontrollably, but she became even more angry.
"Your condescending attitude is so annoying! I'm free to do whatever I want!"
winter!
"What a coincidence. It just so happens that I can't stand your stupidity anymore."
Shiyu crossed his arms, with a hint of irritation on his face.
"The problem is, if there are students from our school here, there will be trouble later, right? Sawamura-san who is pretending to be a good girl!"
By the end of the sentence, his voice had become low and cold.
winter!
Eiri's eyes were filled with tears as she ate again, and she gritted her teeth and said, "That kind of thing has nothing to do with Kasumigaoka Shiu!"
winter!
"You big-breasted, brainless, sinister woman!"
"You ignorant, poor-breasted girl!"
"What...! Poor, poor, poor, poor, poor... I thought you were very pitiful before, and I wanted to complain for you! I am really a big fool for thinking like this!"
"Just complain about me...what are you talking about? I don't think I need your pity for anything!"
The two glared at each other tit for tat, neither of them willing to give in.
The eyes that seemed to be as real as day seemed to penetrate the other person, accompanied by the crackling sound of electric charges in the air.
Immediately afterwards——
Boom!
The drinks on the table shook violently.
Bang bang! Dongdong!
Bang bang! Dongdong!
"
Uh-huh-huh--!"
The two of them were just under the table, kicking each other wildly.
The noise coming from here attracted the attention of many guests, and people turned their heads to look over.
Before causing a bigger commotion, An Yilun, who couldn't bear the pressure first, suddenly stood up from his seat, yelled and tried to stop it.
"You actually have a good relationship! Isn't that right!?"
…
In a panic, Kato Yusuke looked around casually, and happened to meet the waiter carrying the tray.
The other party was standing tremblingly not far away, looking at this place half troubled and half worried, as if he didn't know whether he should come over or not.
It should be the items they ordered just now.
Thinking this, he felt that he could not let the farce continue, so he reached out and took Shiyu's hand to stop the conflict between her and Yinglili.
On the other side, Ying Lili also gave up her activities under An Yilun's persuasion.
Shinjoka waved to the waiter, indicating that he could approach.
Hui Ze apologized while nodding apologetically to the guests around her.
With the concerted efforts of the four people, the entire situation was immediately under control and returned to order.
It was only then that the waiter, who had seen the situation completely subsided, dared to come up and put the food on the table cautiously.
…
After repeating this several times, all the food was delivered.
According to their own tastes, everyone ordered baked rice, pasta, paella, and pizza that everyone could share.
For snacks, we ordered salads, grilled snail meat, the most popular spicy chicken wings, grilled shrimps, kebabs and hamburger set meals, etc.
In order to ease the still awkward atmosphere, An Yilun also deliberately coughed heavily to attract everyone's attention, and then carefully picked up the cup containing the drink.
"Anyway, anyway——! In order to celebrate the restart of the studio and the game, I suggest that everyone clink glasses together happily...?"
He spoke very carefully, for fear of stepping on some landmines. But because he was the first to speak, he inevitably got into trouble.
"well……"
Shiyu sighed in disappointment.
"It's really a cliched toast, Mr. Ethics. Even the people listening to it feel very embarrassed. Can't there be something new?"
"Yes, I'm sorry...Senior Shiyu."
An Yilun also smiled wisely and tried not to arouse the other person's dislike, but it made Ying Lili very unhappy.
Although the two of them are already strangers as childhood sweethearts, there was a time when they had a good relationship.
In the end, this guy apologized to the person he had quarreled with, which undoubtedly worsened Yinglili's bad feeling.
She snorted coldly and continued the words without politeness.
"Well, this is An Yilun, right?
This guy has been like this since before. He has nothing but beautiful girl games in his head, and he will never make any progress no matter how many years pass."
"Ying, Yinglili...!?"
"It's a shame that you can be childhood sweethearts with such a man."
"I don't do it just because I like it."
"Oh? I think you do care about what he thinks. You guys really have some unresolved feelings, right~?"
"——No! Who would like this kind of otaku who has no characteristics and only dumps troubles on others, living in a two-dimensional world!"
Phew!
As if an arrow had been shot in the chest, An Yilun also raised a trembling hand:
"Um...I'm really sorry for being an otaku living in a two-dimensional world...but there's no need for you to make me look so miserable, right...? Yinglili."
"I'm just telling the truth."
Yinglili paused for a moment before speaking, and then mentioned it casually:
"Besides, you keep claiming that you are a member of the team. How about learning game programming?"
Haha, Shiyu smiled meaningfully and looked at her with a very revealing look. Yinglili just pretended not to know about it.
After receiving this reminder, An Yilun also woke up, so he didn't care about the quarrel between Shiyu and Yinglili, and looked at someone immediately.
"Hey, Kato."
He said with some uneasiness:
"Actually, I forgot to ask during the student union. As for what we agreed to do before, leaving game programming to me, it should... still count, right?"
"?"
Kato Yusuke, whose name was suddenly called, couldn't help but raise his eyes, turned his attention away from the news coming from the Immortal River, and put away his cell phone.
…
His eyes alternated.
First he glanced at An Yilun who was sitting upright, and then at Ying Lili who was calm on the surface but was unconsciously holding her breath and listening attentively.
Jingjing took in the performance of the two people, but said nothing for a moment.
It's no wonder that An Yilun would also ask this question. After all, apart from Shintiao Xiang, he was the only one who had not received the contract, so he would inevitably feel uneasy in his heart.
Kato Yusuke also always knew what An Yilun was thinking.
However, whether it is public or private, he has no intention of recruiting him as a partner in the studio, at least the other party has not shown its own value so far.
If An Yilun could show his unique value in the future, he wouldn't mind giving him a partner's contract.
Vice versa it won't.
Even so, he didn't mean to titillate people's appetites.
Facing An Yilun's eager eyes.
Kato Yusuke tapped his fingers on the table while pouring out all the thoughts he had prepared.
"Regarding this matter, I still say what I said before. As long as you can complete the program An Yi, I will also give you corresponding rewards."
"Really!? That's great! I knew I was right! Thanks, Kato——!"
An Yilun, who was overjoyed, also repeatedly patted his chest to assure himself. Ying Lili next to him also breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously and gave a few instructions by the way.
Shiyu watched this scene amusingly, her legs placed under the table crossed together again, and her bare feet wearing loafers swayed.
She really found it interesting to see this pair of childhood sweethearts who were obviously entangled.
At this point, things in the studio are finally settled.
Kato Yusuke picked up his cup with melon soda and suggested:
"Then, to celebrate the reopening of the studio and the first gathering of the student union, let's all clink glasses together."
Pfft, An Yilun couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and clapped his hands in front of him like a comedian, complaining:
"Hey, hey, Kato, your toast is too old-fashioned, isn't it? Besides, it's basically the same as what I just said, but if it's like this, these guys won't be satisfied-"
"
"
"cheers!"""""
The clear sound of tinkling bells sounded, and cheap glasses clinked on the table.
"Too, too much...!? Yinglili, Shiyu-senpai, don't you think this kind of speech is extremely cliché??"
"I'm sorry. The situation will change depending on the person you're talking to. Yu-chan, everything he says sounds good. I like this toast very much."
"Kasumigaoka Shiu! Don't use that inappropriate and disgusting name here!"
"——Don't ignore others! Also, please don't treat me differently!"
"Well~~ I think you should get used to this mode. It's time to face reality, An Yi-san."
"Ahaha, An Yi-san is such an interesting person~ Come on, cheers."
An Yilun also opened his mouth wide and was speechless. Shinjoka laughed and took the initiative to touch him.
Next, the six cups clinked together again.
In this crisp sound, the atmosphere became completely relaxed.
After everyone sat down, Megumi took the lead and said "So——" and clasped her hands together.
So everyone clasped their hands and said in unison:
"
"
"
I'm gonna start now.""""""
Kato Yusuke picked up the male spoon that came with the dish and was about to scoop up some salad to eat, when a spoon suddenly stuck out from the left side.
"Come on and say "ah——", Yuu-chan?"
The noisy noise suddenly stopped, and several pairs of eyes looked over.
Kato Yusuke first looked down at the roasted snail on the spoon beside his mouth, and then looked at the person holding the spoon.
Shiyu looked at him with a smile and asked in a gentle voice: "Aren't you going to eat??"
A drop of cold sweat quietly seeped out from his forehead.
