"Apart from being relatively short, there are basically no other problems. However, the senior sister also has her own works to worry about, so it is good to have such progress."

After hearing Shiyu's question, Kato Yusuke said calmly, then stood up from the sofa, walked to his usual desk and sat down.

His evaluation was very fair, but Ying Lili complained about it.

"What are you talking about? It's only been three or four days since you submitted the plan, right? This one is more than twice as long as what you wrote."

As he spoke, he shook the A4 paper in his hand. Not only was the text on it dense, but the content was several times denser than Yusuke's.

Considering that this is just what Kasumi Shiko does in her spare time besides updating "Love Metronome", directing the acting of the drama department, and dealing with student union work, it is indeed not considered slow...

Kato Yusuke did not argue about this, nor did he explain Shiyu's actual fast writing speed. He just looked at Eiri and asked: "Senior Shiyu, let's not talk about it here, how is your progress there?"

"Hmm... I've just drawn Furukawa Nagisa's whole body. I've also finished half of the [Ramp·Encounter] one, so I'm not slowing down anymore..."

After saying this, Yinglili looked away guiltily, looking like she had no confidence.

Seeing this, Yusuke couldn't help but move his mouth, feeling a little speechless.

However, because the other party also had a fan exhibition in Ikebukuro to attend, he knew the inside story and didn't say much.

"Speaking of which," Eiri said as if changing the subject: "This Sunday is the Comiket at Sunshine City in Ikebukuro. Are you ready?"

Kato Yusuke agreed: "Basically, there is nothing to worry about. Mr. Yamakawa also confirmed that the goods will be delivered to the venue before the event starts."

"Hey...how many volumes have you prepared this time?"

"About 4,000 volumes."

“So many prints??”

"No, I just drew volumes 2 and 3 of "Early Summer Time" and "Guide". It doesn't mean there are 4,000 volumes in each volume."

Eirili said "Haaah..." and breathed out softly: "Does that mean I drew 4 volumes in less than two weeks...You are so fast at this kind of thing."

"After all, we have to raise money for the future, and rather than using the word fast, I think efficient is a more appropriate word here." Yusuke Kato said sensitively, thinking of the incident at the Information Department.

"Huh huh - forget it, do you have the content of the new work with you? Let me take a look."

"There is no paper version. If you want to see it, it is stored in the USB flash drive. You can retrieve it yourself."

Phew~

The small USB flash drive drew a parabola in the air and landed on Yinglili's... nose with her hands raised high.

"Ugh...it hurts!"

Snap.

Yinglili, who was hit on the nose, immediately groaned and squatted down, and the USB flash drive fell to the ground.

"...Are you too clumsy?"

Kato Yusuke walked towards Eri, who was curled up in a ball, and sighed speechlessly.

"Who are you calling clumsy?"

"Sorry, I seem to have made a mistake about the relationship between height and flexibility. It's my fault."

"I will die to apologize!" Ying Lili said, covering her reddish nose with her hands, her eyes widened fiercely, and there were some tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.

"No matter what you say, you don't have to go to that level. Come on, wipe away your tears."

With that said, Kato Yusuke took out a beige handkerchief from his shirt pocket and handed it to the girl.

"Isn't this my handkerchief? You are such a terrible pretty girl~~~!"

"Have you forgotten? You gave this to me yourself, and you kept it because it was quite advanced."

"I'm not talking about that kind of thing! Besides, your apology doesn't make people feel sincere at all! Hmm--"

"Ah, if there's snot on my nose, I'll give it back to you."

"It's not stained!" Ying Lili, who had wiped her tears, put the handkerchief back into his hand.

"I said ~ you two."

Sitting on the sofa, Shiyu crossed his arms and said in a cold voice: "How long are you going to perform this show of affection?"

Even An Yilun, who was sitting on the sofa on the other side, nodded his head "Yeah, yeah, yeah", as if he agreed very much.

"Ha!? Even if this kind of joke is a bad joke, it's not funny at all——!"

Yinglili denied it strongly: "Besides, who wants to like this guy? He's just a pretty boy with no appearance."

Kato Yusuke picked up the USB flash drive from the ground without any reaction and placed it on the coffee table.

"Are these the manuscripts you finished drawing? I took them first, Yinglili."

"Hmph... whatever you want."

Yusuke then looked at the manuscripts on the table one by one.

That being said…

But in fact, it is just three-sided drawings of Nagisa Furukawa from the front, side, and back, as well as the half-drawn line drawing of the ramp scene...

'The progress is still a bit slow...' Yusuke Kato thought to himself, then raised his head and said: "After the activities in Ikebukuro are over, can you temporarily reduce the schedule of other work? Eri-ri."

"Eh...reduced?"

"Well, if possible, I hope you can devote yourself to painting the game as much as possible."

Yusuke nodded and explained: "Of course, you can continue to prepare for large-scale events such as Winter Comi, but other than that, can you mainly focus on this?"

"I said -" Yinglili couldn't help but frown, "Do you know what it means to us business authors to participate in one less event?"

Kato Yusuke didn't speak, he just walked to the desk and took a few documents back.

"Look at this first." He handed one of the bound documents to the other party.

"What's this?"

"contract."

"ha?"

"You'll know after you see it for yourself."

As he spoke, Kato Yusuke handed another contract to the thoughtful Shiyu.

"And this one belongs to my senior."

"I have it too?"

"Of course, it's nothing compared to senior sister's royalties. I don't know if you are willing to accept it."

Shiyu's eyes moved slightly, he reached out and took down the contract in front of him, and started to read through it.

Time passed quickly with a brief reading.

After reading the contract, Shiyu let out a sigh, turned his gaze to the young man in front of him, thought for a while and said:
