Kato Yusuke first revised all the issues related to the storyboards of "Early Summer Time" that Eri Ri had annotated.
Then I started to draw the first draft of "Metronome of Love".
Although this work did not exist in his previous life, he has never eaten pork and has seen pigs running away.
Relying on some pure love books that I have read and combining them with the characters in the original works, the drawn things are quite realistic.
After all, with the blessing of system skills, at least in terms of the expressiveness of the screen, he is definitely above the standard.
The plot of "Metronome of Love" is not complicated...or perhaps because only one volume has been released, it can't be complicated due to space limitations.
The story tells that in an ordinary high school in Wahe City next door, Naoto, the male protagonist, met the fateful heroine Sayuka by chance, and a series of hazy and beautiful love unfolded from there.
The subject matter is not new, and is even a bit old-fashioned.
However, relying on the author's strong writing power, it vividly depicts the rawness and innocence of the two people's feelings, as well as the hearts that float under the surface and gradually get closer to each other.
To be honest, at the beginning, Kato Yusuke purely had a mentality of picking up the material, but after reading the whole story, he found that he had underestimated this work.
The author of this book, Teacher Xia Shizi, not only has profound literary literacy, but is also really good at mobilizing readers' emotions.
Behind the smooth and delicate writing, it seems as if there is a demon that controls people's hearts peeping in the dark, making people want to immerse themselves in it involuntarily.
"No wonder it's a work that won the Fantastic Award. If you publish a doujinshi based on this novel, the sales shouldn't be too bad."
He murmured to himself: "In this case, you can't draw it casually. At least it must fit the character of the original work, and you must also pay attention to the way you speak... Otherwise, the tiger will not be like a dog."
With this thought in mind, Kato Yusuke simply threw away the half-drawn line drawing, then took out "Love Metronome" and started reading it carefully.
And thanks to the little attribute added to his intelligence last time, his memory is now much better than before.
Therefore, the characters and the way of speaking of the male and female protagonists were quickly remembered in my mind.
Time slipped quietly through the fingers.
The sun in the rainy season is like a shy little girl, hiding behind the clouds, making it difficult for people to distinguish the changes of the day.
By the time Kato Yusuke finally came to his senses, the time had already reached 5:30 pm.
He was awakened by the sound of the door opening.
"I'm back."
A familiar voice came from the entrance, followed closely by another female voice with a clear voice.
"Good afternoon! Excuse me~"
Putting the novel in his hand aside, Kato Yusuke got up from the ground and walked towards the entrance.
Rounding the corner of the kitchen, two slender girls came into view.
"Sayushi, where should I put my umbrella?"
"Ah, just put it here."
At this time, the girls were facing away from him, putting away their umbrellas and placing plastic bags containing ingredients on the ground.
"Welcome back, do you need any help?"
Kato Yusuke said to Sayu, and then looked at the other person.
And the other party happened to look over at this moment, and the moment their eyes met, both of them were stunned. Then——
"Miss Yuki...?"
"Hey, Katozai...?"
"Why are you here?" x2
Both of them looked surprised.
Seeing this scene, Sayu's eyes wandered between the two.
She first looked at Asami Yuuki.
"Miss Yuuki?"
Then look at Kato Yusuke.
"Katozai?"
Finally, he turned his head slightly and said to the two of them, "Do you know each other?"
The look in his eyes became slightly blurry unconsciously.
There was a brief silence.
The first one to react was Kato Yusuke. He pointed at the dark-blond girl and introduced to Sayu.
"Although you may not have met her, Miss Yuuki is my former colleague in the part-time job shop."
Then he looked at Asami Yuki again, "It's just that now it seems that Miss Yuki has become your colleague."
"Hey, it seems that Asami did say that she also worked in other stores..." Sayu nodded in realization, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
He smiled and asked the girl: "So that's it~ Asami?"
At this time, Asami Yuki also reacted. She nodded her head "Yeah, yeah," and scratched the back of her head in response.
"I see, so Katozai is your boyfriend, Sayu-chan?"
His slightly slender eyes looked at the young man's face for a moment.
"Well! This guy's words are no problem! OK."
Asami, who spoke words with unclear meaning, gave Sayu a positive gesture.
Then he waved to Kato Yusuke with a smile on his face and said, "Anyway, I won't bother you today."
After saying that, he quickly walked towards the living room and sat down on the single bed without ceremony.
The spring mattress trembled slightly, and the slender legs under the girl's skirt also swayed.
"Okay, why don't you come and sit down too?"
This kind of anti-customer behavior made Kato Yusuke and Sayu look at each other, and then they smiled.
Looking at the soft smiling face in front of him with weak expression muscles, Kato Yusuke had a doting look in his eyes and wanted to go up and pinch it.
Just because there were outsiders present, he still restrained this impulse very well.
Sayu also seemed to understand his look, and his bright and discerning eyes blinked, as if his eyes were wandering.
Then the two of them took the ingredients into the kitchen and started preparing dinner.
Originally, Kato Yusuke wanted to help out, but Sayu Yoshimasa sternly refused and was kicked out of the kitchen.
So I had to go back to the living room to chat with Asami Yuuki.
By the way, the other party didn't look embarrassed at all, but said very leisurely: "It means, Katozai, your family is very narrow."
"Because this is a single apartment." Kato Yusuke responded unceremoniously, "And it will become more spacious when you go back."
"But I have to have dinner later." Asami said matter-of-factly, and then changed her words: "But I didn't expect to see Katozai again. Should I say it's been a long time no see? It's confusing."
Kato Yusuke at the table glanced at her, "So why did you come to the store over the station?"
"Well, there's no special reason, it's just because it's close to my house." The girl explained, her eyes lingering on Sayu in the kitchen.
"Speaking of which, have you been dating Sayu for a long time?"
"It's been a long time...? It's almost like that."
"Really?" Asami said in a normal tone: "No wonder you didn't accept Takada's kiss before. It turns out you already have a sister Sayu."
Without stopping at this topic, she continued.
"I don't know if you understand, but Uncle Tanaka was already the store manager when I left. It seems that Takada went back to his hometown because of something at home."
"Really?" Kato Yusuke nodded slightly, then looked at Asami and said solemnly: "There is one thing you said is wrong."
The young man's eyes were like a deep well, deep and calm.
"It's not that I rejected Takada, it's that Takada rejected me."
His words made Asami stunned.
After about a few seconds, the girl's lips curved up and she responded with a cool smile.
