MTL - Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home-Chapter 610 princess and queen

  Chapter 610 The Princess and the Queen

  —clang.

  The metal knife and fork fell onto the porcelain plate, making a crisp sound.

  Ying Lili looked at the message received on the phone, and her originally leisurely mood suddenly tightened, and she became nervous unconsciously.

   "Yingli pear...?"

   "Mom, I'm full, so I'll go back to my room first...!"

   Ignoring Sayuri Yuzawamura's questioning eyes, she hurried back to the room with her mobile phone in her arms.

   Even so, the cranky thoughts in my mind can't stop.

   "That woman... sent such an inexplicable sentence, what does it mean?"

  The girl muttered irritably, wondering how to deal with this tricky news.

   is the reply?

   Is ignoring?

   Is it rude to go back as usual?

   Or pretend to be puzzled and ask what the other party means?

  Thousands of thoughts piled up in my head, but I still haven't made a decision.

   Just then, a photo was sent to the phone.

"what…"

  Through the screen, the back of the person you like appears there.

  The boy was wearing a black home clothes and an apron, and he was standing in front of the kitchen at home with his head bowed and busy.

  Ying Lili was speechless for a while, just carefully observing the people in the photo.

  Suddenly, she realized the intention of the sender.

  —Stay away from my boyfriend.

  Combining the previous news about the "stealing cat" and this photo full of demonstrations, it is not difficult to draw such a conclusion.

   Unable to explain the reason, she suddenly felt guilty.

  Ying Lili hurriedly exited the chat interface with Shi Yu, and turned the phone upside down on the table.

  Although the specific circumstances are not yet certain, from the current point of view, the matter between her and Kato Yusuke seems to have been known by the other party.

   This is undoubtedly an embarrassing thing that makes people crazy.

  The girl picked up the phone restlessly, and involuntarily called her best friend.

  —toot, toot, toot, toot, toot.

  After a burst of busy tone.

   "Yingli pear...?"

  An attractive face appeared on the screen.

   "Hui~~~!"

  Ying Lili adjusted the angle of the phone so that the front camera was facing her face, "Sorry for calling you suddenly, I want to chat with you, are you free now?"

   "Huh? But I'm going to take a shower now, or should I contact you after I take a shower?"

   "Ah, but I'm in a hurry now, can you just keep talking to me and go take a shower?"

   "Eh~~~? I always feel embarrassed like that."

   "Please, please, I'll just ask a few questions and it will be over soon."

   "That's it..."

  After a little hesitation, Hui nodded his head lightly, "Well, then I'll take a shower later~"

   "Really? Thank you!"

   "It's okay~ So, Ying Lili, what is the urgent matter you are talking about?"

   "Well, what about that, Megumi!"

  Ying Lili's eyes wandered, and her voice was erratic.

   "What if, I mean what if...! If for some reason, a girl kisses a boy who has a girlfriend, and happens to be found out by the other's girlfriend... What do you think should be done...?"

"-Eh?"

  The **** the screen blinked twice blankly, staring at her blankly with obsidian eyes, and said after two seconds:

   "...Um, I'm sorry~ Eriri. The signal on my side may not be very good. Did you just say something...?"

  Hearing this, Ying Lili had to repeat it again.

   "Just, that is to say... If you accidentally kiss a boy who has a girlfriend, and his girlfriend finds out... What should I do...?"

   There was a silence.

   "~~ Well, just in case, let me ask first, the protagonist in the matter you talked about..."

"-Is my friend!"

   "Friend...?"

   "Well, nothing wrong."

  Ying Lili pretended to be calm and said: "A friend of mine encountered such a thing recently. I really wanted to help her but didn't know what to do, so I had to come to ask Hui."

   "Is that so..."

  Hui showed an indescribable expression on her face, and said with a headache: "Well, although I am very grateful that you are willing to trust me, I really don't know how to help you, Yinglili..."

"-not me!"

  Ying Lili emphasized emphatically: "It's been said that he is a friend of mine."

   "Ah, um... let's just treat it like this."

  “…So, would you like to hear me tell you about my friend and give her some advice along the way?”

   "..."

  Hui stared at her embarrassed expression for a while, then said hesitantly, "Well... it's fine if you just listen, but I don't guarantee that I can give any useful advice?"

   "It's okay, that's fine. Please, Megumi."

  Ying Lili took a deep breath as she spoke, and began to speak eloquently.

   It's about my childhood sweetheart.

  The time of mourning alone after the breakup of friendship.

  The boy I met later was like a family member.

   And that special New Years Eve.

  The person involved talked more and more vigorously, and did not notice at all that the personal emotions he had unintentionally shown in the statement had already exceeded the level that people who had not personally experienced it should have, and they just talked non-stop.

   Hui on the other side of the phone had weird eyes, and tried to remind her several times, but couldn't find a chance to interject.

  Two people talk and listen to each other.

  A fool who doesn't understand anything, yet dares to say anything.

  A person who knows everything but pretends not to understand, feels both tasteful and helpless in his heart.

  Although Ying Lili used a pseudonym in the description, the overly specific description made Hui almost effortless to guess who the people she was talking about represented.

   "...In short, that's how things are. My friend has now received a warning from that girl. Megumin, what do you think she should do?"

   "Yes~~ well, this is really a tricky question, and people don't know where to complain."

"Make complaints…?"

   "Let me ask you, now that this has happened, does your friend think about quitting?"

"quit…?"

   "Well, after all, you... the boy your friend likes has already dated other girls, right? As long as you quit early, maybe you won't be targeted by others?"

   "—That won't work."

  Ying Lili shook her head vigorously, "My friend will not quit, I think so..."

   "That~~ is really a very firm statement."

  Hui sighed while speaking: "If this is the case... then there is nothing to say, right?"

   "Huh? I don't quite understand what Megumi means..."

   "After all, the master already has his own ideas. I really don't think other people have any good suggestions. If you have to say something, just do what you want, right?"

   "Do what you want to do...?"

  Ying Lili muttered, lost in thought for a while.

after awhile…

   "I think I get it."

  The girl let out a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Hui, I know what to do~!"

  The awe-inspiring and clear eyes like ice and snow crystals stared over, and met the eyes of those quiet eyes like lake water.

  Hui's eyes flashed a faint fluctuation.

  It was the first time for her to see the other party showing such an expression. It was completely different from the sorrow just now, and it was extremely dazzling.

   "Hey, Yinglili."

"Ok?"

   "Can I ask a strange question? This is just my personal curiosity. You can forget it after hearing it, or you can laugh it off."

  When she said so—

   "Well, just ask."

  Ying Lili didn't say much, and readily agreed.

   "Thank you, then I'll ask?"

  Hui tidied up her bangs, and asked nonchalantly, "Yinglili, what kind of existence do you want to be in the heart of the person you like?"

"…what?"

   Not surprisingly, the girl showed a surprised expression and fell into annoyance.

  Hui did not urge her, but just waited quietly.

  As for why she would ask such a question, even she herself didn't understand.

  Maybe it's just her little kick.

  Ying Lili frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly recalled a conversation with her mother.

"Don't you think the girls around Kato-kun are too heavy? If one day he can't stand the strong stimulation, or gets tired of the quarrels, and wants to be with a relaxed girl, then Isn't it strange?"

  The originally confused heart suddenly swept away the haze.

  “—I want to be an existence that can make the other party feel at ease.”

  The girl said, with a beautiful smile like a bouquet blooming on her face.

  Hui was silent for a while after hearing this answer.

  She looked at the girl in front of her, like she was watching Snow White in a fairy tale, so innocent that people couldn't bear to hurt her.

   However, some things seem inevitable...

  She unconsciously clenched her fists and made up her mind again.

   Even if the other party is Snow White.

  Even if she is a bad queen.

  ‘…I won’t lose. '

  She smiled, expressing determination deep down in her heart.

   After all, she has already passed the stage of hesitating about it.

  Unfortunately, she is more stubborn than the bad queen in the story, so she won't give up the prince.

  In order to prove that there is nothing wrong with their relationship.

  In order to be able to openly show affection to the surroundings after three years.

  She secretly declared:

  —The most suitable girl for him in this world is her.

   "...Phew, I always feel that it's much more enjoyable after I say it~"

  Ying Lili raised her arms high and stretched her body.

   "Thank you for being willing to chat with me for so long, Hui. I will tell my friend what you said to me, so that she can cheer up~"

   "Ah, you don't have to be so polite, I don't think I've helped anything."

   "So...Sorry, I caused you trouble."

"what?"

   "Because, this kind of thing sounds very embarrassing, right? Mingminghui hasn't dated anyone before, but I pulled you to talk about kisses and other things... You must be very embarrassed."

"Uh…?"

  Hui's eyes wandered, and she unconsciously moved her eyes away from those blue eyes, and continued to follow the atmosphere.

   "Hmm~~ About this question, I have prepared in various senses, so you don't have to worry about me, Eriri...?"

  Ying Lili didn't notice the subtlety in the girl's tone, and after inviting the other party to come to play at home next time, she didn't want to disturb her any longer, so she ended the call.

  ◇

  Nine o'clock in the morning the next day, "TYPE-MOON" studio.

  Ying Lili sat on the workbench and confirmed today's schedule.

  【Furukawa · CG14, CG15】

  【Gymnasium・Cultural Festival Performance 01】

  Including two characters and one background, there are three pictures to be submitted today.

  There is nothing to say, Ying Lili, who confirmed the arrangement, immediately started to work.

  Compared to the picture completed a while ago, although the part to be drawn today is still a school scene, because it involves the performance of the cultural festival, there are more characters appearing on the stage at once.

   It is precisely because of this that the complexity of painting this time is much higher than before.

   Those pictures that highlight the protagonist alone are okay, but the zoomed-in pictures of the protagonist on the stage give Ying Lili a headache, especially when the audience's reaction is also drawn.

  The so-called painting is such a thing, the more characters involved, the more things need to be considered.

  Like perspective, stance, movement, posture, etc...

  It is really not an easy task to make these elements coexist harmoniously in a picture.

   Ying Lili is only fortunate that the game they are going to make belongs to the type of daily love, and there are no battle plots that require extremely high special effects, otherwise the difficulty will have to be raised several levels.

  While she was doing perspective and composition in her mind, she used a pencil to draw a draft on the drawing paper.

   An hour later, the storyboard of the stadium scene was roughly drawn.

  Eriri took the storyboard draft in her hand and came to the next station, "Hey, Yusuke, help me read this."

   "Okay, give it to me."

  Yusuke Kato was originally drawing the manuscript of the manga, but after hearing her request, he temporarily put down the work at hand and chose to help her look at the picture as soon as possible.

  —This is also a previously promised good thing.

  As promised that night, he will do his best to help the girl break through the bottleneck.

Back to the topic.

   After observing the storyboard draft in his hand for a while, Kato Yusuke quickly discovered some problems and pointed them out directly.

   "This picture is not good, Ying Lili, your understanding of the scene is wrong."

  Ying Lili was not angry about this, and asked seriously: "Can you explain in more detail, what is the problem?"

   "First of all, although this scene is a multi-person scene, the center and subject of the composition should still be placed on the protagonist. This requires a distinction between primary and secondary."

   "If you were to draw this place, what would you do?"

   "If it were me, I would do it."

  Yusuke Kato picked up a pencil from the table casually, and began to draw on a blank drawing paper while explaining.

  “The composition here can be unfolded from the audience in the back row of the stadium, and the appearance of the protagonist on the stage can be cut from the perspective of the distant view.

  The lighting of the stage is added to emphasize the key points, and the depth of field and the virtual scene are adjusted. This is almost the feeling. "

   As he spoke, he stopped his pen and gave the girl what he had just drawn.

   "..."

  Ying Lili took the drawing paper and looked at it carefully for a long time, and then compared it with the one she drew repeatedly, and had to admit that someone's picture had a better layering.

  When she thought that this was just something the other party drew in a few minutes, she couldn't help feeling frustrated and discouraged.

   Kato Yusuke noticed this very keenly, and his tone became calmer:

   "Of course, what I just said is just a way of thinking. Painting is like doing math problems. Everyone has their own way of solving problems. You don't have to force yourself to imitate me."

   "I don't think so, stop being sentimental, idiot."

  Ying Lili glared at him angrily, then returned to her work station with two pieces of drawing paper, and began to reorganize her inspiration.

  By the side, Bo Dao went out to sea to watch their reaction secretly, and couldn't help leaning over to the side.

   "Sister Sagara, don't you feel that the atmosphere between the teacher and Sawamura-senpai seems to have changed?"

   "There are some, some are super!"

  Mayu Sagara nodded her head in disbelief.

   "And Mr. Kashiwagi's state is different from before. Now he seldom fishes at work. Do you know why?"

   "Sorry, I don't know very well..."

   "That's it. Well~ But isn't this also very good? The two of us should work hard, and strive to be able to independently undertake the original painting work as soon as possible~"

   "Ah, yes...!"

  Bo Island headed out to sea and nodded vigorously, took a last look at Ying Lili not far away, and then started practicing seriously.

  …
