Chapter 412 The Second Rejection
A: "She's so beautiful! I like it so much——!"
B: "I want to be my sister's dog, hissing——!"
C: "Hey, hey, I can—!"
Ding: "Wow woof woof woof (laughs)."
"........."
Shiyu's hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and the ideal E-cup also rose and fell slightly.
Never have I seen such unanimous letters from readers.
It's all about discussing the role of "Makima"...or confessing.
At the end, she no longer read out the contents of the letter, but put them aside with great disgust.
The so-called three views follow the five senses, and this reaction is vividly reflected in the letters from readers.
Even if the current "Chain Saw Man" has only released the first episode, even if the character of Mazima only appears in a few pages, even readers at this time do not know her name.
However, with the blessing of Kato Yusuke's painting skills, the popularity brought by the simple but stunning appearance can only be described as amazing.
Coupled with the unexpected line design, the effect is simply outstanding.
——Si Zhai steamed goose heart.
Shi Yu couldn't help commenting like this, she was very annoyed by these letters that made her feel ashamed.
Seeing her agitated, Kato Yusuke went to the vending machine outside and bought two cans of MAX coffee, and stopped her from taking them apart.
And he himself continued to read the letter without any disturbance.
Shi Yu rested for a while to ease his emotions, and couldn't help opening the letter again.
For no other reason, she just wanted to be involved in his work, just as he had been involved in hers.
We share the world we created together, share the honor and joy, live a fulfilling life every day, and get recognized in the process.
That's it.
……
"Magic!", "Evil comics!", "You call this a hot-blooded comic? It's just curious!", "Deviant", "Absurd and bizarre"...
Aside from the surprisingly unanimous love for Makima, readers have had mixed reviews of the manga, both good and bad.
The girl showed unexpected sensibility in this regard. When she saw a letter praising the work, she would happily show it to him, and when she saw a letter criticizing the work, she would relentlessly spread her poisonous tongue.
It looks more like the original author than himself.
And such an emotional behavior is a very exhausting thing.
Almost one third of the time when the letter was opened, Shi Yu couldn't help but yawned with a "huh..." and felt the tiredness from staying up late last night also surged up.
Seeing her tired face, Kato Yusuke said, "If you are tired, you can go and rest, Shiba-senpai."
"Eh?" Shi Yu couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this, and subconsciously said: "But the letter from the reader..."
"I'll just watch it myself." Kato Yusuke interrupted her, "Go and rest on the sofa over there."
"...Really?" Shiyu blinked, glanced at the couch at the far end of the meeting room, then looked at him again and said:
"Since you have said so, then I will take a rest unceremoniously."
"Ah."
Rolo rolo.
The girl moved the steel pipe chair back and got up from the seat, walked towards the sofa with light steps, and sat down on it.
creak...
The soft cotton sofa supports the girl's body and is slightly sunken downwards.
"..."
Shi Yu's body slowly relaxed, and then she looked at the figure on the conference table again, a bit of thought filled her wine-red eyes.
"Hey, Kato-san."
"Ok?"
"I really want to continue reading letters with you."
Gently grasping the left hand that was propped on the sofa, the girl said in a nonchalant tone: "... May I trouble you to come here?"
"...?"
Kato Yusuke suddenly stopped what he was doing, and turned to look at her voice.
What came into view was a plump and delicate body wrapped in a dark blue autumn uniform.
A head of black and shiny black hair hangs down like a black waterfall, and she wears a simple and elegant white headband on her head.
The hemispherical E-cup is tightened by the sweater, emphasizing the beautiful and charming curves.
Two white lines, one thick and one thin, were traced at the tail of the breezy sailor skirt, covering her round and plump thighs.The deep black pantyhose glowed white under the light.
"...over there?"
"Well, sit on the sofa and watch."
Think for a few seconds.
Kato Yusuke thought it was okay, so he nodded and said good, then got up from the seat with the box in his arms, and came to the sofa.
"Sit here."
"it is good."
Shi Yu moved his body to make room for him, and he sat down on the left side of the sofa, and put the box on the armrest.
Just put the box down, and haven't even turned around...
Slap, swish.
With the slight sound of clothes rubbing against each other, a little weight suddenly appeared on the thigh.
Kato Yusuke's body stiffened.
"... Huh... I'm so tired, just let me lie down." Shi Yu, who took off her shoes and lay down, leaned on his thigh, said a little tiredly.
The aroma of the shampoo of the herbal series floats into the nose faintly, mixed with the fragrant and suitable gerbera flower fragrance, which is fragrant.
"...Shiba-senpai."
Kato Yusuke read a sentence in a low voice, his eyes fell on her face covered by her hair, she was silent for two or three seconds, and finally said nothing.
He reached out to the cardboard box on the left, ready to take out new letters from it, but the girl suddenly spoke.
"...Speaking of which, why did you draw such a work? Yu-chan."
Kato Yusuke didn't know her intention, but he still gave the answer truthfully, "To make money."
"Obviously you can make a girl willingly support you with just this face~?"
Shi Yu first made a joke, and then asked: "I think your work is very special, can you tell me about it?"
Seeing that she didn't intend to read the letter, Yusuke reduced the two letters he was going to take into one, and asked casually while opening the letter: "What does senior sister want to know?"
"Generally speaking, the protagonist of this kind of heroic story will have a goal, right? Like strength, money, reputation and so on."
"Ah."
"Setting an expected goal for readers and developing it step by step to gradually meet the audience's expectations is the traditional concept of story design."
"Yes."
So Shi Yu said again: "But you don't seem to have such a plan, and you haven't designed a specific goal for the protagonist, why?"
Kato Yusuke put the letter aside after reading it, took another letter, and explained:
"The Chainsaw Man shows a protagonist who goes with the flow and changes with the environment, and he doesn't have such a specific goal."
"...There is no specific goal." Shi Yu repeated his words, and said with a smile: "How does it feel, is it a little like you now?"
"..."
Kato Yusuke was silent, neither admitting nor denying.
rustling, rustling...
The soft body moved carefully, rubbing against his trousers.
Shi Yu changed a comfortable posture and continued to ask: "Then on this basis, what kind of story do you want to present?
Is it to expose the evil of human nature through the theme of demons?Or is it a little person in a fantasy world, struggling in despair? "
"neither."
Kato Yusuke shook his head, pondering to respond.
"What "The Chainsaw Man" wants to show is a little warmth under the appearance of darkness and thorns, and it is easier to show people's best and worst in a desperate environment."
"There is no absolute blackness or absolute whiteness in the world. Every living soul is half human and half ghost."
"There are no dogmas or formulas in this work. It is just from the perspective of a character to describe a person's process from physiological needs to self-realization, nothing more."
His voice spread steadily, and there was a sudden silence in the meeting room.
"Hey, Yu-chan."
Shi Yu tossed her body, looked up at him, her face was slightly hot, the light in her eyes was like stars falling on the bottom of the sea, dense and bright.
"...You know? This part of your body is what moves my heart the most."
"It's just discussing the work, nothing special." Kato Yusuke said flatly.
"--not like this."
Shi Yu shook her head lightly, imitating his angular jaw line, high nose bridge, deep eyes and long eyelashes with her eyes...
Time seemed to stand still.
Her eyes gradually blurred, and the rippling autumn waves in her heart caused her to reach out her hand, gently climbed his cheek, and said softly: "Even if it is a work, it is also a work created by you."
As the cold catkin touched his cheek, Kato Yusuke couldn't help breathing, then raised his hand to push the girl's hand away, and lowered his gaze.
Staring at that jade-like face.
A trace of complexity disappeared from the depths of his eyes in an instant, and then became dim again.
"Trust me, it's almost done, you can go home, senior sister."
"Go home... because Kato-san is waiting for you?"
Shi Yu asked a question in an erratic voice, without waiting for his answer, she held his hand again, and spoke in a voice that couldn't tell whether it was a joke or a serious one.
"I know she is taking care of you. Although I can't cook like her, there are many things I can do, such as raising you..."
The voice gradually became smaller after speaking.
A blank moment enveloped the two of them.
The girl pursed her lower lip slightly, and grabbed his hand vigorously, her slender fingertips turned slightly white.
"..."
Facing the slightly trembling wine red eyes.
Kato Yusuke was silent for a while, then slowly lowered his hand, brushed away the hair that blocked her eyes, and said something in a calm but firm tone.
"You have a better choice, Shiba-senpai."
"..."
Shi Yu turned her body silently, facing him, lowered her head so that the expression on her face could not be seen clearly, and her voice was slightly hoarse: "This is... the second rejection?"
He didn't hear any answer, so it was the default.
The girl let go of his hand quickly, and put her hands together next to her head, as if she was resting.
After a while, her body began to tremble slightly.
Kato Yusuke was sensitive to this, but kept silent.
There are things he cannot give because he himself is also incomplete.
From the moment he lost his important person, he felt that he also lost the ability to love.
The warmer the temperature leaning on his body, the more it will remind him of the warmth he had with Sayu.
Accepting a new relationship with a fragmented mentality, making other people a substitute for Sayu, he has no such intention.
Whether it's Megumin or Shiwa-senpai.
The two are neither Akane Benizaka, who has a fixed outlook and a will as strong as iron, nor Shinjoka, who hopes to gain value from him.
Facing them, he couldn't act as calmly as he did to those two people.
These two are completely different concepts.
Kato Yusuke quietly smoothed out some fluctuations in his heart, and the expression on his face became calm again.
Looking at the girl lying on her body trembling slightly, as if she was "sobbing".
He couldn't help moving his lips, ready to say something.
However, the other party took the initiative to speak in the next second.
"...Hey, Yu-chan."
Shi Yu lowered his voice, took a deep breath, and asked in a joking tone: "We are like this now... From a certain angle, isn't it like I buried my face in your crotch?"
The sudden turning point temporarily stopped his thinking.
A series of question marks popped out of Kato Yusuke's head.
During the time when his thoughts stopped, the other party supported his legs and sat up slowly.
Her smooth hair was slightly disheveled, her snow-white cheeks were slightly rosy, and her small lips were like ripe cherries.
"Hmm~~~ I'm almost done resting."
The girl lightly folded her hands and stretched her backhand forward. The way she stretched her waist was like a newly awakened crabapple flower, which was gorgeous and moving.
Kato Yusuke, who came back to his senses, just watched her bent down like this, and put his feet into the small leather shoes on the ground in a leisurely manner, and gently lifted the heels.
Because of the previous refusal, he didn't know what to say for a while.
On the contrary, Shiyu himself didn't seem to take it seriously, he just said that he was going to the bathroom, and then left the room with a bang.
As the door of the meeting room was gently closed with a "click", the room returned to silence.
Kato Yusuke sat on the sofa for a while, leaned back, raised one arm to cover his eyes, and looked at the ceiling quietly.
The bright incandescent lamp shone on the top of his head, shattered in his eyes, and his eyes were a little dazed.
After that, there was no waiting for the girl to come back from the bathroom.
Kato Yusuke, who packed up the reader survey, picked up the cardboard box, greeted Machida Sonoko, and left the Immortal River building by himself.
……
Take the tram from Jimbocho, sit all the way home at the nearby station, and then walk in the direction of the apartment.
The dark blue sky came to the entrance of the night, and the sparse stars hung overhead, faintly illuminating the path under our feet.
Kato Yusuke thought of the park said to be taken by Mami that Sayu had mentioned, which was said to be able to see the sky full of stars, and his heart became a little heavy.
If Sayu was still there, they might have dinner together at home during this time, they might walk together on the streets near the apartment, or they might just be bored together at home.
Two diametrically opposed emotions emerged in my heart at the same time.
A feeling of nostalgia quietly began to grow wildly, which made him want to fly to Hokkaido immediately to see the person he wanted to see.
But there was another kind of absolute calmness and reason that was stopping him.
Kato Yusuke stopped abruptly, the expression on his face changed for a while, and then returned to normal after a few minutes.
Walking back to the empty apartment with neither light nor heavy steps.
Eat alone, bathe alone.
Turn off the lights and go to bed earlier than usual.
While staring at the ceiling in the darkness, he hugged the black cat nestled on his chest.
The eyelids gradually closed with consciousness.
