In the ward, Akane Benisaka looked at the four women sitting around the bed and asked him something to say.
"So, why are you so mobilized?"
Yinglili answered her question.
"That's because when Yusuke received the call from your assistant, Kasumigaoka Shiu and I were also present. Later, we all came together."
"Tsk, tsk, he brought a group of female companions to my place for a date. That bastard is really outrageous."
Shiyu said: "Objectively speaking, it is true, but aren't you one of them?"
"Haha, Teacher Xia Shizi's words are thorny."
"I'm just discussing the matter, but you are completely different from us."
Shiyu folded her hands across her chest habitually, raised her beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings, and continued: "In short, since Yu-chan is here, it doesn't hurt to be more frank and show your happiness."
"Tch, he's just a little brother, what's there to be happy about? Although I've made countless enemies, I'm not so miserable that I can't even find anyone I can rely on."
Akane Hongsaka said casually, reached out and took an apple from the fruit basket, and took a bite.
She inadvertently met Ying Lili's eyes, and found that the other person's eyes were wandering, as if she was peeking at her to say what she wanted to say.
"What's wrong, Teacher Eri Kashiwagi, what can I do for you?"
"Huh? Ah, no... I just think the title of little brother is a bit strange.
You and Yusuke's statement that it's an old-young match is not thorough enough, and your statement that the eldest sister matches Shota is a bit too much. How on earth should you describe this situation~!"
"What's so confusing about that kind of thing? Sawamura, your brain circuit is quite clear, can't you just think of her as a bigger version of Kano-chan?" Shiyu answered the words very naturally.
"Whatever you say." Akane Kurisaka ate the apple leisurely.
"Basically, that guy and I usually talk about work or study together until dawn.
Oh, by the way, once when he was busy, I helped deal with people outside the car. Are you right, Teacher Eri Kashiwagi~?"
Yinglili's expression froze, and her face instantly turned red to the roots of her ears. Then she lowered her head like an ostrich and twisted her body nervously.
"... Why are you asking me? Yusuke hasn't told me much about Miss Hongsaka. He doesn't know anything. If you want to say..."
"What do you want to say~~?"
"You two are just like the Level 1 hero and the final boss. The hero should have been working hard to level up to save the princess, but somehow he ended up going to the Demon King..."
"Oh~? But in recent RPG games, don't they also have plot battles where the prologue is the final boss?"
Akane Hongsaka said jokingly:
"Moreover, characters like princesses seem to be highly praised at the beginning, but they are actually insignificant cannon fodder.
Are there many examples where the protagonist is fascinated by the heroine who appears later?"
"Cannon, cannon cannon fodder, cannon fodder ash ..." Ying Lili said incoherently, from instinct to Shi Shiyu vote for help signal.
"Tsk, Sawamura, you are still the same coward, shameless, and without any redeeming qualities."
"What, what, Xia, Xia, Xia..."
"Okay, okay, I know you are not reconciled to your stupid mouth. Anyway, wipe your tears first and leave the rest to me."
Shiyu held her forehead and sighed helplessly. Just as she was about to activate combat mode to help her followers, someone spoke up before her.
"Um~ In other words, does Ms. Benisaka think she is a real heroine?" Megumi asked in her usual indifferent tone.
"Kato-kun..." Shiyu's eyes moved, the corners of his mouth curled up in a vague arc, and he watched the show with great interest.
Akane Benisaka took in all their reactions and shrugged with a smile.
"Who knows? I'm just a creator who enjoys the process. A real heroine will be fine no matter what. That's something the hero has to consider."
"As expected, Miss Benisaka, are you just taking advantage of Kasumigaoka-senpai and Eiri for entertainment? As a mature adult, you are surprisingly childish."
"...Mature? Have you never thought that maybe someone is a sister-controller?"
"Um?"
Hui heard the words and glanced in the direction of the bathroom. Just as she was about to speak, the dark-haired girl suddenly appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Shiyu frowned slightly in confusion and filled in the blank.
"That is to say, Ms. Benisaka is clearly over thirty and still calls herself older sister, and she also flirts with a boy who is more than ten years younger than herself. This way, even if she is punished by God, she can't blame anyone."
"Oh~~ As expected, women will become very troublesome when it comes to men's problems. How can that boy endure it?"
"How do you have the right to say that? Isn't Miss Hongsaka also a woman?"
"It's strange, Mr. Kasumi Shiko, are you dissatisfied with your desires? Or have you been sitting on the bench for a long time recently? It's best to find a man to solve the problem."
"Tsk, an old woman with a stubborn and bad personality and long hair is really bad——!"
"Hey, Kasumigaoka Shiu! If you describe it like that, you're also including yourself!"
"Don't yell in the ward, Sawamura."
"Huh?"
"The person lying on the bed is still a patient, even though she is not a human being."
"
"
...""""
The women were silent collectively.
At this time, Kato Yusuke walked out of the bathroom with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Kano-chan, please take everyone back to the studio first. I'll just watch Akane later."
Akane Kurisaka shouted.
"Hey, don't tell me, I don't seem to have anyone to accompany me. You guys should go back with them. My assistant will come over after handling the company's affairs."
"Then I'll wait until someone comes." Kato Yusuke said.
"Huh? There is a nurse here who is responsible for taking care of you. What's the use of you staying here?"
"What's wrong?" Shiyu said, "Let Yu-chan stay with you, otherwise he won't be able to feel at ease even if he goes back."
"Teacher Kasumi Shiko...?"
"Although I don't know what's wrong with your body, Ms. Hongsaka, I still hope you recover soon. This is a blessing from a junior in the industry."
Although it is difficult for Shiha to have a good impression of Akane Kurisaka from a personal standpoint, as a creator, she actually respects him as much as Eiri in her heart, otherwise she would not come to visit today.
Akane Hongsaka muttered a few words and did not raise any objections.
A smile flashed in Kato Yusuke's eyes, and then he sent the four people outside the hospital.
When I returned to the ward again, the doctor also brought the examination report.
When he heard that he had a cerebral infarction, which made him unable to use his right hand and required surgery, Akane Hongsaka couldn't help but be silent for a long time.
"I'm sorry for what happened to Miss Kousaka. Please inform me after you have considered the time for surgery." The doctor finished with a sad tone and then withdrew.
"...Tsk, it's obviously Xia I next week, so it's really unlucky to come here at this time."
"Is now the time to think about this? Having a cerebral infarction at such a young age, you should have reflected on your attitude towards life."
"How can you believe what an incompetent doctor says? What they like most is exaggeration. I know my own situation well, it's just a minor problem."
"If you want to prove it, come and shake my hand with your right hand, shake it hard."
"Tsk..."
Akane Benisaka turned her face away in disgust, causing a quarrel.
Kato Yusuke said reluctantly: "I have reminded you before and asked you to come to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, but you just refused to listen, and now you have to have surgery."
"Aren't you yourself playing games all day long? Are you qualified to preach to me?"
"At least there's nothing wrong with my health."
"Shit, you're just relying on being younger than me and having the ability to wait and see in ten years!"
"Even if it happens twenty years later, the result will be the same. Do you think anyone will work as hard as you do?"
"you--!"
"Okay, okay, the patient should not get angry casually. Be careful that the blood pressure rises and compresses the nerves."
"snort……"
Akane Hongsaka was upset and lay back on the bed obediently.
Even so, she was still anxious.
"Hey, how are your preparations over there? Will Xia I have any problems?"
"Everything went well, including the plate-pressing factory introduced by you. We are now waiting for Xia I to open."
"No, I can't waste time here, I have to leave the hospital!"
"Rejected. You need to receive treatment and wait until the doctor allows you to be discharged."
"Don't be stupid. I don't have time to take it easy. I have a lot of things to do to publish the game for you."
"Wouldn't it be better to leave it to others?"
"Don't make me repeat it again and again. Yin Zhi and the others might make some omissions just by relying on them."
"Aren't we still here? Our studio will also be there that day."
"Huh? "TYPE-MOON" is also going to be on sale? Why didn't I see it on the venue list?"
"We applied in the name of "egoistic Lily", otherwise it would be too troublesome to reapply."
"That's nonsense. As far as your studio's creative team is concerned, no matter how blind the organizer is, there's no way they can neglect you. Are you just lazy?"
Akane Benisaka sneered again and again, and could see through someone's little thoughts at a glance. Yusuke Kato shrugged his shoulders and did not explain.
Just as Akane Kurisaka said, although the "TYPE-MOON" studio is not well-known in the fandom, it has received a lot of attention.
Let’s talk about Yusuke Kato first.
The sales volume of "Chainsaw Man" has exceeded 5 million copies so far! Not only did it win the first place in the male channel of "This Comic is So Awesome!" last year, it also ranked first in the overall comics list!
Let’s talk about Shiyu next.
The cumulative sales of "Love Metronome" have reached 1.2 million copies! Not only did it rank third in last year's ranking of "This Light Novel is So Awesome!", it was also animated!
Then there is Yinglili.
Although he himself has not paid much attention to the club recently because he is busy making games, the legend of "egoistic Lily" has always been circulated in the fandom!
Otakus are always looking forward to the day when amphibian Eri Kashiwagi will return to the book circle.
Finally, there’s Mayu Sagara.
Although the name "cutie fake" is far less famous than "egoistic lily", it is not a common person in the circle.
In addition, because the quality of the cute pictures Mr. Sagano Fumio recently updated on Twitter is far better than before, the number of fans is also increasing!
With this dream-level lineup of four people, the organizers of CM will give it an area against the wall no matter how bad it is.
——Unfortunately, that means nothing.
Anyway, Eiriri's club can already get the wall zone, so Kato Yusuke doesn't need to go through the trouble of applying for one.
Furthermore, the little aunt in front of me will also sell his games, and the other party's club "re" is an out-and-out gate club!
In general, Kato Yusuke only needs to receive good customers on Summer I.
While the two were chatting, the patrolling nurse came in and removed the IV drip, leaving behind some sleeping pills.
Akane Hongsaka sighed and prepared to go to the bathroom.
She walked as usual, but her body was shaky for some reason, and her walking felt as if she was stepping on cotton.
"Huh……?"
"What's wrong?"
"It seems that I have been lying down for a long time and my legs are weak..."
"Want to go to the bathroom? I'll take you there."
Akane Benisaka did not refuse and entered it with the help of Yusuke Kato.
However, when someone put his hand on her waist, she immediately became uneasy.
"what are you doing?"
"Don't you want to relieve yourself?"
"I can do it myself!"
Kato Yusuke looked at her with suspicion and said funnyly: "Don't be so harsh, you can't even stand still, just stay calm."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled down her bottom without any explanation and placed her on the cushion.
"Get out of here!"
"We're already an old married couple and you're still talking about this?"
"Are you going to get out or not!?"
"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you outside. Just call me."
Akane Benisaka had a dark face and cursed a certain shameless bastard ten thousand times in her heart.
Then she looked at her motionless right hand and clenched her teeth involuntarily.
In fact, her physical condition is far from as relaxed as she says.
Being unable to lift your right hand is just the tip of the iceberg.
She couldn't even control her balance, and it was difficult to even walk straight.
Even when she was talking face to face with Yusuke Kato just now, her eyes would subtly shift in other directions.
As a cartoonist, this is basically useless.
…
After that, Akane Benisaka pretended to be calm and returned to the hospital bed.
While she was going to the bathroom, Kato Yusuke had already prepared medicine and water.
Looking at someone who was busy waiting for her, she joked as if nothing had happened.
"In the end, it seems I can't die with you."
"What are you talking about?"
"Well, after all, I have a brain problem, who can guarantee that the surgery will be flawless?
It seems that I saw the revolving lantern before I lost consciousness. If I really die, I will leave part of my inheritance to you."
Kato Yusuke looked at her deeply and said, "Don't keep saying such things. You will live a very healthy life. Come and take medicine."
"Huh? What is this red one?"
"Vitamins, the nurse brought them to you when you went to the toilet."
"oh."
Without doubting his presence, Akane Benisaka put the medicine in her hand into her mouth and drank it with water.
Under the influence of sleeping aids, she quickly fell asleep.
Kato Yusuke sat quietly next to the hospital bed, frowning, watching her reaction intently.
at the same moment.
Tokyo Budokan, at a concert of a well-known idol group.
The girls wore exquisite and gorgeous uniforms and sang and danced on the glittering stage.
The audience's cheers surged like a tidal wave, and their faces were full of enthusiasm and anticipation.
Tens of thousands of fluorescent sticks formed a dazzling sea of stars, floating over the venue together with cheerful and melodious singing.
Suddenly, the stage lights dimmed and the scene fell into a brief silence.
The girl in the C position held the microphone and announced energetically: "Please listen to the last song of today, "Tuanzi Family"."
The sound is as crisp as a silver bell and is impressive.
After a while, the pleasant sound of the xylophone began slowly.
