"Kato, are you convenient now? I have something I want to talk to you about."
"?"
In the art department's office, everyone raised their heads at the same time because of these words, and saw Yoshida standing hesitantly at the entrance.
"You go on, I'll go out for a while."
Kato Yusuke gave an explanation and moved to the programming department's office with Yoshida.
"What's the matter? Mr. Yoshida."
"Ah...a little bit."
Yoshida rubbed his trousers at a loss and sighed sadly: "I'll get straight to the point and ask, is our studio still hiring people?"
"What? Someone is coming?"
"That's right... my former junior in the company contacted me recently and said that she wanted to come here to have a look no matter what. She also does programming, is it convenient?"
"Oh... ok."
"Ah? Really okay??"
"What's wrong?"
Kato Yusuke smiled and asked:
"Originally, Kano-chan and I said that we wanted to add assistants to you, but you just refused. This is perfect. When will your junior, Mr. Yoshida, come?"
"Well, I haven't informed her yet... No! Kato, you don't need to take special care of me. If there is no shortage of people in the studio, I can just reject her directly. Don't force yourself."
...This guy is simply stupid.
Kato Yusuke was both funny and helpless. He deliberately joked: "My girls have come all the way to beg you. Are you so cruel?"
"Forget it, that guy Mishima is simply inexplicable."
Yoshida waved his hands in disgust and complained again and again.
"Obviously she was very popular with the boss in her previous company, but she insisted on pestering me and said she wanted to work under me. Today's young people are too willful."
"??"
Kato Yusuke stared at him in astonishment and smacked his lips, "...Is there a possibility that others are drunkards and don't care about drinking?"
"It's impossible, it's impossible! She must have wanted to come here because she heard me say that the environment here is very good."
"Let me ask, have you told the other party about the treatment we have here?"
"Oh, not yet."
Yoshida folded his arms and sat down immediately, telling the uneasy junior about his encounter at a barbecue restaurant a while ago.
He is not a person who speaks freely, but he was pestered by the other party and was forced to talk about the working environment and atmosphere here. As for the privacy issue of treatment——
But anyone with a little bit of etiquette would not ask easily.
"All in all, if that guy comes here with the intention of being lazy, I will never condone her——!" Yoshida Yasushi stated.
'What kind of straight-man speech is this?'
The corners of Kato Yusuke's eyes twitched. He opened his mouth several times to say something, but closed it again. Finally, he put on a compassionate Buddhist smile and said softly:
"Well, Mr. Yoshida, just be happy."
"Oh, thanks, but is this really good? If Mishima comes, my work will be reduced."
"About this, Mr. Yoshida, do you know about the sequel project of the game that Eri is responsible for?"
"Are you talking about the "Tomoyo after story"?"
"Yes, I plan to start production on it recently. I have given the plot outline to Xiao Shi, and the script will probably be released in the next two days, so even if you don't tell me, I will expand the staff."
"That's it, that's good, that's good..."
Yoshida breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, and the burden on his face was obviously relieved, and then he mentioned another thing.
"By the way, Asami actually called me just now and said she wanted me to build the association's website."
"Huh?" Kato Yusuke frowned slightly, "What does she want with that?"
"It is said that they want to promote the association, right? She and Sayu seem to have some plans. I don't do much social media, so I didn't ask... What should I do? Should I give it to them?"
The young man pondered for a moment: "...Give it to them, it's useless for us to keep it."
"Okay, then I'll contact them later."
Yoshida nodded and said with some emotion:
"I heard that the association seems to have admitted two new girls recently, right? Miss Sayu is really full of energy, and one can't help but believe that she might really be able to bring some changes to the association."
Kato Yusuke had no reaction and left Yoshida.
He made two cups of coffee in the tea room, grabbed two boxes of Pocky from the snack rack, and then went to the planning office on the second floor.
The clicking sound in the room stopped.
The girl raised her head from the laptop in front of her, her deep and charming burgundy eyes filled with displeasure at being disturbed, which turned to joy after seeing the person clearly.
"Oh, who did I think it was? It turned out to be my boyfriend who came back from fooling around?"
"Fooling around?" Kato Yusuke raised his eyebrows, closed the door with his foot, and walked up with coffee and snacks.
"Are you wrong? Shouldn't this be the boyfriend who comes to feed his girlfriend?"
"Haha~ Do you think I believe it or not? Anyway, if others don't neglect you, it won't be my turn." Shiyu said in a weird voice.
Kato Yusuke put the things in his hands on the table, pulled up a chair and sat down, tilting his head to look at the person in front of him.
"You, Lin Daiyu, have learned well?"
"Huh? Lin Daiyu?"
"Oh, it's a beautiful woman in a literary work. I'm praising you for having her style."
"Are you scolding me?"
"How could it be? Don't think too much, Lin Daiyu is a very smart woman. Come and have a cup of coffee. It's hard work writing."
Shiyu frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, but couldn't tell for the moment, so he had to take the coffee and sip it.
As a girl who prefers Western literature, she rarely comes into contact with Eastern literary works, so naturally she cannot hear what someone is saying.
Kato Yusuke didn’t explain much and went straight to the topic——
"How is the progress of script creation? Are there any difficulties?"
"That's it. I'll probably finish writing the script for "ad" next month, and I'm also writing the script for the new sequel in the past two days."
“Writing so much at the same time, will it be a bit overwhelming?”
"Fortunately, the script is not like a novel. You don't have to pay too much attention to the sequence and transition. The scenes can be expressed through post-performance, so it is very fast to write."
"Oh, that's good." Kato Yusuke felt relieved, picked up his coffee and drank it slowly.
Shiyu tilted her head and looked at him, "So Yu-chan, why do you suddenly ask about this? Isn't it usually Kato-san who sets the right schedule with everyone?"
"It's nothing, I just came out from Mr. Yoshida's place. We happened to talk about the start of the production of the new sequel, so I stopped by to ask."
"Oh... don't forget to accompany me to Jimbocho after get off work. I want to go there to buy books."
"Remember, remember, you talked about this last night, I won't forget it."
"Really? What if you are abducted by some vixen like last Valentine's Day?"
"Well, don't worry. I have deeply reflected on my mistake that time and will pay attention to it next time."
"Cut~"
Shiyu sneered disdainfully, her perfect legs folded together like a queen, and said calmly: "I'm a little tired from typing, and I want to eat some sweets."
Kato Yusuke understood, and immediately reached out to pick up the Pocky on the table, took one out of the packaging bag, and skillfully brought it to the other person's lips.
Normally, the girl would usually finish the chocolate part at an alarming speed, leaving only the cookie part.
However, she did not do this today. She just tilted her head slightly for some reason and said lazily:
"I don't know why, but I'm a little tired of being fed like a carp~"
Kato Yusuke responded blankly. After a few seconds, he suddenly had an idea. He bit the end of Pocky between his teeth and tentatively moved closer.
"Well, that's okay..."
Before he finished speaking, Shi Yu grabbed his collar.
"Well--!?"
“Curry kalika kalika!”
Before Kato Yusuke could even flinch, all the Pocky in his mouth was eaten, and then the girl occupied his lips.
After a lot of torture, they separated.
Kato Yusuke rubbed the lip balm on his lips with his thumb and said speechlessly: "...That's really strange. Don't you usually only eat the chocolate part?"
"I want to try something different today." Shiyu lifted his chin with her fingers and lightly opened her red lips: "I think the strawberry-flavored Yu-chan is also good, let's have another one~"
"..."
Kato Yusuke raised the corners of his mouth, took out another Pocky and held it in his mouth.
He stood up and took a step forward, placed his hands on the armrests on both sides of Shiyu's chair, leaned down condescendingly, and pressed the other end of Pocky against those red lips——
"Eat, eat, don't bite anyone, otherwise we will change the itinerary tonight."
Shiyu raised his eyebrows provocatively and looked directly at him, "Deal."
Between the four eyes facing each other, there seemed to be some fire.
at this time--
The door of the office suddenly opened with a "click~", and Sagara's upper body was secretly thrust into the room.
"Master, master, did you just take all the strawberry-flavored Pocky——--ah!?!?"
For a moment, time seemed to freeze.
Immediately afterwards——
"Sorry to bother you, I didn't see anything! Goodbye you two——!"
Xiangraku finished what he said in one breath, then bolted out the door and ran away.
