The condescending words were full of strength and ego, which made Hui frown slightly, but the doubts in her heart were temporarily relieved.

She didn't like this person a little, but she wouldn't make any presumptuous comments. She just looked at Kato Yusuke thoughtfully, said this, and then continued to cut potatoes.

Dongdong, buckle, gurgling.

The rhythm of cooking has become gentle again, just like the atmosphere in the room.

Kato Yusuke turned back to his face and looked at the person next to him with a deep look in his eyes.

Meeting his eyes, Akane Benisaka just held her chin with one hand and sneered, as if she was mocking.

"Okay, let's get down to business. I've read the manuscripts of these two episodes. Since they're still interesting, I can temporarily put aside your violation of the agreement."

As she said this, she turned the swivel chair to the left, raised her right leg, and drew an arc in the air with her toes wrapped in black stockings. She seemed to inadvertently sweep across Yusuke's Dantian and rested it on her left leg.

above.

"Now, tell me the outline of your story."

Kato Yusuke didn't know whether she meant it or not, but this commanding attitude still made him feel unhappy, so he suppressed it without saying a word.

Seeing his cold confrontation, Akane Benisaka was not angry at all. She first looked past him towards the girl with her back to him, and then to his face, with a hint of amusement in her eyes.

"Is this okay? You don't want your little girlfriend to know about us, right?"

The eyes vaguely conveyed a similar meaning.

Kato Yusuke narrowed his eyes slightly and responded with a "whatever you want" look. Although the expression on his face was a bit cold, there was no emotion of guilt or compromise.

Seeing this, Akane Hongsaka frowned slightly, feeling that she might have misunderstood something.

She thought for a moment, then raised her foot to kick his calf, and changed her tone: "If you don't want to talk about this, just tell me about your arrangements for this work, and I can give you some suggestions."

There was an interval of about three seconds.

Kato Yusuke asked in a nonchalant manner: "What's the arrangement?"

"How long is this comic? Approximately how many episodes does it have?"

"Less than a hundred."

Akane Hongsaka made an estimate and said, "Based on the single volume, it would be about 10 volumes?"

"It's Volume 11."

"That's not bad. Today's readers are influenced by new things and are not very durable. Medium-length comics are gradually becoming the mainstream. If you dare to draw a long novel, you are courting death."

She stopped here, and then changed her words, "But judging from your current plot, 11 volumes seems to be a bit insufficient. If it is within 25 volumes, it may be about the same."

"No." Kato Yusuke shook his head, "Only 11 volumes."

"Um?"

Akane Hongsaka frowned and said: "You must know that the length of a work is affected by many aspects such as the number of characters, plot structure, and the length of the main story.

Sometimes even the author has difficulty in making a conclusion, why can your tone be so certain?"

By the end of the sentence, her tone was filled with doubt.

As a cartoonist who debuted as a cartoonist and is still one of the ceilings for cartoonists, no one knows all aspects of comics better than her.

Although she didn't feel it at first, when Yusuke continued to insist on the number of 11 volumes, she felt a little strange.

In the face of her doubts, Kato Yusuke had no intention of explaining. He simply responded with "This is enough to tell a complete story" and did not mention any more.

Seeing this, Akane Kurisaka stopped asking questions. She vaguely guessed that he should already have a complete development and context of the plot, so she discussed other issues with him regarding the plot.

Ignoring her bad personality, as the number one cartoonist, she is indeed experienced, and Yusuke Kato has also gained something from it.

As for Akane Kurisaka, she was also pleasantly surprised to get a lot of inspiration and ideas from his few words about the plot and character settings. As a result, she became even more excited and looked at him as if she wanted to take a bite out of him.

Eat it.

The two chatted back and forth, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Hui in the kitchen was attracted by their increasingly louder voices, and occasionally looked back while silently doing the seasoning work on her hands.

Wait until the potatoes have simmered for about half an hour.

She then interrupted the conversation between the two and said, "Um, dinner is already ready, Yusuke."

As the sound spread in the room, Kato Yusuke also stopped communicating with Akane Kurisaka and began to walk to the kitchen to help.

After a lot of work, the food was quickly served.

The tomato beef brisket that has been simmered for more than an hour is brightly colored, and the thick and soft tomatoes are evenly wrapped around the dark brown chunks of beef brisket.

The heat rising from the pot is accompanied by the rich aroma of food, which constantly stimulates the appetite in the body.

However, when Akane Hongsaka picked up a piece of beef brisket with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth...

"...!"

Her expression suddenly changed, from smiling to serious, then she glanced meaningfully at the girl opposite, silently put down her chopsticks, and looked at someone beside her.

Kato Yusuke didn't notice her expression, so he also added a piece of beef brisket and put it into his mouth to taste it...

A taste that is so salty that it numbs the tongue spreads in the mouth, like beating a salt seller to death.

"Is it delicious? Boy." Akane Kurisaka asked with a leisurely smile, her voice full of amusement.

Hui didn't speak, just ate the rice silently, just the rice.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.

Kato Yusuke paused for a second and did not raise his head to look at anyone. He just took two mouthfuls of rice, then picked up a piece of beef brisket, and started eating with a normal expression.

"I think it's good."

He said this in a calm tone.
