"What's wrong, Sagiri?" Yushan Kazuto blinked and asked.
"Kazuto-brother." Izumi Sagiri called softly.
"Well, I'm here."
It can be heard that Izumi Sagiri has something to say but is too embarrassed to open her mouth. At this time, Yushan Kazuto should give her verbal support. Even just a response would make Izumi Sagiri feel a lot more at ease.
Izumi Sagiri adjusted her mentality a little, and then she said in a low voice: "Brother Kazuto, I have something...I want to ask you for help."
Yushan Kazuto blinked. As he expected, Izumi Sagiri had been working hard on something but had done nothing. Today, she finally came to him for help.
Yushan Kazuto felt a little relieved. At least Izumi Sagiri still remembered that she had a backer behind her and was willing to come to her for help.
"Tell me what's the matter." Yushan Heren said.
"It's still about the poster." Izumi Sagiri whispered.
Yushan Heren couldn't help but frown, feeling a little unhappy.
[Isn't the editor who is in contact with Sagiri a bit too busy? ]
"What's wrong with the poster? Is the editor still not satisfied with it?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
Although he was unhappy, Yushan Heren would not show it.
"The editor said... my style has changed too much, and he wants to have a face-to-face interview with me to determine the direction of my style." said Sagiri Izumi.
Yushan Kazuto blinked. “Diversity of styles is a good thing. Doesn’t your editor understand that?”
"She, she told me the same thing, but the work is about school romance, and I drew it in a fairy tale style." Izumi Sagiri put her hands on her knees and gently pulled her trouser legs.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but ponder. This style gap does seem a bit too big, but it also sounds like it's unacceptable.
"Can I take a look?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
Izumi Sagiri thought about it, nodded slightly, took out her cell phone, pulled out a picture and gave it to Hayama Kazuto.
The painting style is very beautiful, with a combination of flat and 3D effects, which looks fuller, more three-dimensional,
The painting skills are also quite good. Kazuto Yuyama no longer doubts Izumi Sagiri's level. Kazuto Yuyama feels that this painting alone is worth at least 100,000 yen.
In the picture, the girl is sitting on a balloon, floating in the air, while the boy is sitting on a flower made of ice crystals.
The two reached out to each other, as if calling each other's names, wanting to get closer to each other.
But the ice crystals are melting and the balloon is flying upwards. From the picture, it seems a bit tragic.
However, there are some hidden details in the picture, such as the fluttering snowflakes and the frost condensed on the balloon under the girl, which seem to hint at something.
The whole picture not only has a fairy-tale style, but also contains some deep thoughts and displays many painting skills.
Kazuto Hayama couldn't understand why Sagiri Izumi's editing was dissatisfied.
"Sagiri, you draw very well." Yushan Kazuto blinked, suddenly noticed something, and looked at the male protagonist.
"Why does this boy look a bit like me?"
"Because Kazuto, Kazuto-nii is... the most handsome boy I have ever seen, um... the most handsome boy I have ever seen."
It was very difficult for Izumi Sagiri to finish saying this sentence. It took her more than twenty seconds, and her cheeks had turned red by the time she finished.
Analyzing from the perspective of Sagiri Izumi's art, Kazuto Hayama's facial features are truly impeccable, so perfect that there is no trace of improvement to be found. Even if Sagiri Izumi used a paintbrush to construct them, she could not create such a perfect look.
Kazuto Hayama was like a male specimen sent down from heaven and earth. Whenever Sagiri Izumi picked up her pen to draw a boy, the image of Kazuto Hayama always appeared in her mind involuntarily.
And no matter what the scene is, whether it is being cool, passionate, romantic, or even funny, Yushan Kazuto's expression can be perfectly embedded.
Over time, the boys that Sagiri Izumi drew became a little closer to Kazuto Hayama.
Of course, Izumi Sagiri would not draw those ugly characters, she only draws beautiful girls and Hayama Kazuto.
After hearing Izumi Sagiri's reason, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blush, so he had to change the subject and get the conversation back on track:
"So, Sagiri, do you want me to go to the interview on your behalf?" asked Kazuto Yuyama.
Izumi Sagiri nodded.
"I think Eriri should be better at this kind of thing." Yushan Kazuto blinked.
After all, Eriri is a senior artist, so it should be easy for her to communicate with the editor.
The car is familiar with the road.
"The thing that Eriri-sister fears the most... is meeting the editor." Izumi Sagiri whispered.
Yushan Kazuto blinked and remembered that Eriri always liked to procrastinate on submitting manuscripts. When she saw the editor, she was like a mouse seeing a cat. It was estimated that she would not be able to complete this work.
"Can't we video chat? I think Sagiri can also try to communicate with the editor via video." Yushan Kazuto said.
It’s not that Yushan Kazuto is unwilling to help Izumi Sagiri, he mainly wants to encourage Izumi Sagiri to take the initiative to communicate with outsiders.
If Izumi Sagiri continues to work as an artist in the future, she will definitely have to come into contact with people like editors frequently, and Yushan Kazuto also wants Izumi Sagiri to familiarize herself with them in advance.
Izumi Sagiri shook her head: "I... I don't want the editor to know my identity, otherwise... I might become like Eriri-sister in the future."
Yushan Kazuto blinked. Eriri always avoided the editor when she saw him. If she forced things and caused Izumi Sagiri to develop into Eriri's situation, then it would be her fault.
"Okay, I agree. I'll help you meet with the editor. What time?"
"Friday afternoon...is that okay?" Izumi Sagiri asked in a low voice.
"Friday afternoon..." Yushan Kazuto's expression was not very good.
Chapter 915: A tense Thursday
Why did it happen to be Friday afternoon, my busiest day?
On Friday afternoon, Kazuto Hayama had to go to the Tokyo Stadium to play football, then rush home for dinner and go to the Japan Shogi Institute to play chess. He had no time at all to meet with the editor.
"No way? Kazuto-brother." Izumi Sagiri was a little disappointed.
"Is Saturday okay? There is indeed a lot to do on Friday afternoon." Yushan Heren said unhappily.
"Saturday... Saturday is going to be the day for the promotion." Izumi Sagiri whispered.
Yushan Kazuto blinked, it seems that there is no hope on Saturday.
"Not even on Friday night?"
"The editor has a meeting on Friday night." Izumi Sagiri said.
Machida Sonoko only gave Izumi Sagiri two time options, one was Thursday afternoon and the other was Friday afternoon.
……
"Thursday afternoon." Yushan Kazuto still looked embarrassed.
I had already asked for leave from the football department on Thursday afternoon, but the reason for my leave was to go home to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, which did not leave time for this interview.
"How long will the interview take?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
Since he had already promised Izumi Sagiri, Yushan Kazuto felt that he should still try his best.
My time on Thursday afternoon is not as tight as on Friday afternoon, so I can still do it if I squeeze out a little time.
"If everything goes well, it will only take ten minutes."
These are the original words of Machida Sonoko.
Yushan Kazuto just blinked. He didn't believe the editor's lies. If everything went well, it would only take ten minutes. But if it didn't go well, would they have to talk all night?
"Then let's do it Thursday afternoon. Send me the address and tell your editor that I will be there on time at 4 . Thursday."
Izumi Sagiri nodded and forwarded the address sent by Machida Sonoko to Yushan Kazuto. Suddenly she remembered something and said hurriedly:
"Brother Kazuto, remember, don't reveal my identity."
Yushan Kazuto blinked and nodded: "So, I am meeting your editor in your capacity as you?"
"No, no, I told the editor that you, Brother Kazuto, are my agent."
Yushan Kazuto nodded slightly: "I understand, I will be there on time tomorrow."
Izumi Sagiri nodded, jumped off the bed and prepared to walk back to the room.
"Also, Sagiri." Kazuto Hayama called out to Sagiri Izumi.
After being called out by Hayama Kazuto, Izumi Sagiri's cheeks felt a little hot: "What's wrong, Kazuto-nii?"
"Remember to get a good night's sleep tonight and don't stay up late!"
Izumi Sagiri nodded and walked out of the room. Yushan Kazuto lay down on the bed and looked at the location information sent by Izumi Sagiri.
[Asuka Cafe? It seems to be near Kadokawa Bookstore. Is Sagiri collaborating with Kadokawa Bookstore now? ]
Yushan Kazuto thought about it and drew up a route map in his mind.
[Tomorrow afternoon, I have to pick up Sanae and Koumeiro first, as we agreed in advance, and then go to Asuka Cafe to finish the interview as quickly as possible, and then go home to prepare dinner.]
Yushan Kazuto suddenly realized that his schedule for tomorrow afternoon was really packed!
[It seems... I have to use my time management skills again! ]
……
Thursday afternoon.
"Kazuto, don't you have to go to training today?" Kato Megumi asked as she looked at Kazuto Yuyama who was packing his schoolbag and seemed to be ready to go home directly.
"Well, I have something to do this afternoon, and I have already asked for leave from the minister." Yushan Kazuto nodded.
Fujinomiya Ningzi on the side was leaning on the desk with one hand, looking at Yushan Kazuto with a smile.
The Fujinomiya family and the Yuyama family are very close, so she naturally knew what Yuyama Kazuto was going to do today. Today was the Chinese New Year's Eve, and Yuyama Kazuto needed to rush home early to prepare dinner - that is, the New Year's Eve dinner.
Kato Megumi looked at Yushan Kazuto, and without asking what was going on, she also started packing her schoolbag.
"By the way, Hui, do you want to come to my house for dinner tonight?" Yushan Kazuto suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Kato Megumi looked at Yushan Kazuto.
"Mom won't be home on Thursday, so I'll prepare dinner! Did you forget, elementary school student?"
Yushan Heren blinked. He had really overlooked this point. Now his mind was full of how to allocate time more reasonably.
Seeing Yushan Kazuto's expression, Kato Megumi felt helpless: "Elementary school students have really bad memories."
"If that's not possible...it's not impossible to let Sister Hongmei come over to eat as well." Yushan Kazuto said.
"What about dad?" Kato Megumi asked.
"Uh... let's just ignore this, just ignore it." Yushan Heren said angrily.
When thinking of the scene of Kato Megumi's father coming to his house, Yushan Kazuto felt something was wrong.
"Waruto, why don't you just invite Kei and not invite me? If Kei doesn't want to go, maybe I will be willing to go?" Fujinomiya Ningzi said with a smile.
Yushan Kazuto blinked and glared at Fujinomiya Ningzi. Didn't she see that she was embarrassed? She was still messing with him.
But since Fujinomiya Ningzi had spoken, Yushan Kazuto had no choice but to say, "Then why don't you come over for dinner tonight? It might be a little later."
"You don't have any sincerity at all! If Kei doesn't go, I don't want to go either." Fujinomiya Ningko hugged Kato Kei.
Yushan Kazuto blinked. He knew very well that Fujinomiya Ningzi was just using him to find
Just heart.
Kato Megumi looked at the two of them. Fujinomiya Ningko seemed to know the reason why Yushan and others wanted to treat them, but the two of them tacitly did not say it out loud.
Kato Megumi could only blink and continue packing her schoolbag.
……
"Then send it here. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Yushan Kazuto sent Kato Megumi to the door and waved gently.
When I got home from school, it was already 3:40 in the afternoon. I had to pick up Touma Sanae and Tsuchima Mai, and then at 4 o'clock I had to go to Asuka Cafe to meet with Izumi Sagiri's editor.
Thinking about the tight time, Yushan Heren couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency that every second counts.
"Then Kazuto, you go ahead and do your work."
Kato Keiya could see that Yushan Kazuto seemed a little nervous this afternoon, so she waved her hand.
Yushan Heren nodded, and without turning the car around, he backed up to the intersection.
