The great revival of Yuri Kosaka

Because these two guys have boasted many times about meeting Yuri Kosaka on the road in Akihabara, but now they still come to animate for the autograph session.

"I was forcibly brought here by Watagusa at that time." "Yes, that's right, it's all Watagusa's fault!" "You two guys, I already told you that we had to go pick up Kadoda-san. "Forget it, let bygones be bygones. With the number of people in front of us... it will be our turn in about half an hour?" Now that the queue has been determined, Kosaka Yuri is already signing autographs for the people at the beginning. Yumasaki Walker looked at the number of people queuing in front and made an estimate.

"Huh? The signing speed is really fast. In this case, 10 minutes is enough, right?" "Oh, oh, thank you for being Mr. Yuri. He can even sign three times as fast as others!" "Gu, this is not a straight line. Don’t you have the time to say even a few words?” After the person arrived, Kosaka Yuri repeated the actions of taking out the pamphlet, signing it, and handing it to the person. He also tried his best not to answer the visitor’s meaningless questions. This makes it more efficient than 01:30.

The only trouble is that there is so little time left for everyone, making Yuri Kosaka look like a ruthless signing machine.

"Oh oh oh, Mr. Yuri's signed book!" Not long after, it was Yumasaki Walker's turn. He seemed quite happy after getting the signed single book like everyone else.

"You're too excited. I'm sorry, Yuri-sensei." "It's okay. Yumazaki is just like that. I've learned from you before." "Eh?! Teacher Yuri, do you still remember us?" Seeing Kousaka Yuri called out the name of Yumasaki Walker, and Erika Karizawa was quite surprised. After all, although they had met on the roadside before, it was just an accident.

She originally thought that such a famous cartoonist would not be able to remember the names of his fans.

"It's only been a few weeks, I'm not that forgetful, am I?" "That's right, but I didn't expect Yuri-sensei to come to Ikebukuro for a book signing. It's so touching." "It's just a coincidence." "Hey , Yuri, pay attention to the time." Seeing that Yuri Kosaka seemed to be starting to chat with the people in front of him, Minano stood aside and reminded him.

"Ah, I'm sorry to disturb your work." "It doesn't matter, but now is really not a good time to chat." Although Yuri Kosaka still wants to chat for a while, after all, it is a signing event now, and there will be more to wait for later. There are a bunch of people.

Chapter 202 Princess Catherine

"It's over, it's over~~" Thanks to Yuri Kosaka's fast and efficient way of signing, after two and a half hours of busy work, the last guest who came to the autograph session left with the signed booklet. .

"It's amazing that you kept that speed throughout the whole process." "It's half an hour earlier than you expected~~" "The key is that your signing speed didn't slow down in the second half, but it's almost time to take things down, otherwise If it does, there should be people coming one after another." Now that all the people in line are gone, there is no point in continuing to exist for this autograph signing stage. If it is still there, there will definitely be someone holding a cartoonist who is holding a autograph signing event. Yeah, I'll buy a copy then. I bought it with this in mind.

"Speaking of which, have you never met the person Tongzi mentioned?" Except for a few otakus who looked special, most of the people who came to attend the autograph session were ordinary people.

The only people who were barely special were the few people who had an impression of Yuri Kosaka in the queue at the beginning.

'Tap' Tap' Just when Kosaka Yuri was thinking this, a person who was most likely the netizen mentioned by Tongzi appeared.

The reason why Kosaka Yuri judged that the other party was the netizen Tongzi mentioned was also very simple.

Because the other party's appearance is quite distinctive. Is she a girl with burgundy hair and blue eyes?He was wearing a rather Western-style dress, but there was a wand-like thing hanging on his waist, and he was holding a heavy suitcase in his hand. He didn't know what it contained.

"Ikebukuro animate main store, Yuri's autograph session... Huh, I finally got it right." The girl glanced at the words on the autograph table for a few times, and walked straight over after making sure she was right.

“What kind of cos is this? I have no impression at all.

? "The girl's outfit is quite extraordinary. She looks like a character in some kind of anime. However, after thinking for a long time, Minano Matou couldn't think of a corresponding person.

"This is not cosplay, this is my private server!" Perhaps because she has been told so many times, this girl's hearing is very keen. Although Minano only whispered something in a low voice, the other party still heard her.

"Although you say that, you see, you are holding a staff. You can't say that the staff is real, right?" "Of course it is real. I snatched this from the fat witch. It can turn books into books." The interface becomes a computer screen and can be connected to the Internet. It’s a very magical prop!” “Hey~~ That’s so awesome.” Minano Matoi’s tone sounded quite good, and I didn’t feel any surprise from it at all. Unfortunately, The girl didn't seem to hear it and looked very proud.

"Ah, I almost got you confused. I'm here to buy Yuri-sensei's single book... You must be Yuri-sensei, right?" The girl ignored Minano Matoi and looked at Kosaka Yu who was sitting in the seat. Here, some asked uncertainly.

"As you can see, why is it a question?" Although this girl looks quite subtle, Yuri Kosaka is sitting in the main seat, so you don't have to think twice to know that he must be Yuri.

"Oh, you are not the AB blood type, so you are a little disappointed. You are not my type... Forget it, give me a copy of Suzumiya, and then sign it for me, just for Princess Catherine." "So, your name is Kathleen?" Kosaka Yuri asked curiously as he signed as requested. With the current information, he really couldn't understand where this girl came from.

"Princess Kathleen, you have to add princess, this is absolutely!" "Okay, okay, Princess Kathleen, okay." It's just a matter of writing more words, it's not a problem, Yuri Kosaka will sign again At the end, it was written for Princess Catherine, but then I remembered that the other party mentioned AB blood type just now, so I added another line and changed it to Princess Catherine who likes AB blood type.

Then suddenly froze.

"Princess Catherine who likes to eat male mice with AB blood type?" Yuri Kosaka was not impressed by Princess Catherine alone.

Regarding AB blood type alone, Kosaka Yuri also didn't know what to say.

But when Princess Catherine and AB blood type merged, Kosaka Yuri felt inexplicably that he seemed to have understood who the other person was.

"Huh? Have you heard rumors about me somewhere? Hahahaha, as a great me, this is of course!" This Princess Catherine has no problem with Yuri Kosaka knowing something about herself. No doubt, I just feel that I am popular.

All in all, it's quite... wonderful.

"Does that mean the fat witch whose wand you took away can also do divination?" "Hey~~ you even know this, but it's best to go to her around three in the afternoon. Only then can you tell her divination skills. Other times, she made a lot of mistakes. I've been fooled by her fortune-telling many times before." "Huh? So Yuri, you've seen her cosplay works?" "That's right." Minano Matoi misunderstood Yuri Kosaka and the other party's answer. Something happened.

After all, normal people who hear such dialogue at a comic book signing will definitely think that it is the plot of some work.

"Hmph~ These common people can't understand it at all. Although you are an understanding person, unfortunately you are not of type AB blood and it is not in my interest." In just a few sentences, the AB blood type was mentioned several times. It seems right. For Princess Catherine, the extra points for AB blood type are particularly important.

"Are you ready to go back?" "Of course... No! It's a rare trip and I only bought a signed single volume of yours. I want to buy more works before I go back!" "Oh~~ Then work hard." Seeing Princess Catherine, who looked no older than 15 years old, Kosaka Yuri waved and watched her leave to buy other comics.

He was a little curious about how the other party first met Tongzi online.

However, considering that the other party has always had an older chuunibyou, Okabe Rintaro, by his side, communicating with what he considers a junior chuunibyou shouldn't really be a problem.

"The one named Katherine should indeed be the last." "Probably, let's call it a day." After Princess Katherine left, no one came for a few minutes, and the staff began to pack away things.

Kosaka Yuri could finally get off that table and chair.

"But it's a bit unexpected. I thought Suzumiya's popularity would be higher." Yuri Kosaka was indeed a bit surprised. Although he signed the signature very fast, he signed it for 2 and a half hours with the efficiency of the red horn triple speed.

But considering Suzumiya's popularity, it's not surprising that it has more readers.

"Ah, don't you know?" "What?" "This side of animate Ikebukuro's main store is Ladies Avenue, and the ones who come and go the most on weekdays are rotten girls. How can so many people bravely come in for your autograph? It’s very rare.”

Chapter 203 Lucia Sushi Restaurant

"Welcome to Lucia Sushi, delicious, delicious, Lucia Sushi!" After the autograph session, Kosaka Yu

Ri took Minano Matoi to a rather subtle sushi restaurant.

The reason why this store is subtle is because there is a tall black man standing at the door of the store. He speaks very awkward Japanese, but he is wearing a very Japanese-style clerk uniform.

"Hey~~ The sushi is surprisingly ordinary." Because Yuri Kosaka said he found the restaurant online, Minano Matoi thought it would be some special food, but he didn't expect it to be just sushi.

However, the black clerk at the door of the store is indeed quite distinctive, but this may be considered a specialty of the clerk and has nothing to do with the food.

"The ordinary often hides the extraordinary, so let's go in first." "Oh, you two, please go inside~~ Store manager, two customers." The black man who noticed Yuri Kosaka and Matoi Minano were smiling. He greeted the two of them and said something to the store manager inside.

The store manager inside is also not a local. He has a Western face, but judging from the store decoration, store name and other details, he seems to be Russian.

"Hey, Mr. Yuri? Isn't this Mr. Yuri? Here, here, come and eat with us!" Coincidentally, the people who appeared at the previous book signing were also eating here, and saw Kousaka The guy behind Yuri, named Yumasaki Walker, looked very excited and kept waving his arms to signal the other party to come over.

"Hey, this will cause trouble to him, I'm sorry, Yuri-sensei." However, Kadoda Kyohei, who was sitting next to him, immediately reached out to stop him, because he was quite rude.

"Huh? Teacher? What kind of teacher?" The black man looked a little confused when he heard Yumasaki Walker call Yuri Kosaka teacher.

"Simon, don't you know, Mr. Yuri is a very famous cartoonist." "Cartoonist? Oh, I remember, the one you were talking about a few days ago." Simon Bryznev After thinking about it for a moment, I remembered that the other party had been noisily telling his friends that he was going to a book signing a few days ago.

"But I didn't expect that a popular manga artist like Mr. Yuri would come to a place like us to eat." Erika Karizawa next to Yumasaki Walker also looked quite surprised, but at the same time she was also a little surprised. I thought a manga artist like Yuri Kosaka would eat in better places.

After all, this place can only be regarded as a relatively ordinary sushi restaurant on the roadside.It is the kind that ordinary students can afford when they want to be luxurious.

"It must be that one. Looking for inspiration. Maybe the stage in the comics will become Ikebukuro next time!" "Does that mean we will leave the country?! That's awesome." "His comics are so interesting, let's You guys are making such a fuss about it." "Of course it's interesting. Watari, you can watch it together occasionally. You'll definitely be fascinated." "I'll forget it, I'm not interested in this kind of thing." "As expected, there's nothing I can do about it. , after all, you are an idol chef, and you are one dimension away from two-dimensional people like us!" "Shengbei Ruri is different. She is a real angel who came to the world, and she is not on the same level as those ordinary idols on the roadside!" "Wow, what a great response, you are really a role model for idol chefs." During their chat, Yuri Kosaka and Minano sat in the seats behind them. Although they were not together, they were at two adjacent tables and chatted. There is no problem in getting up.

"Speaking of which, who is this? You were standing next to Yuri-sensei at the book signing just now. Is she your girlfriend?" "Hey, Yuri-sensei can't be a lolita, she must be my sister. ." "This is the existence standing next to Teacher Yuri. It must be an automatic robot with a humanoid interface." "Gundam, it must be Gundam!" "Although I also really want to turn myself into some kind of autonomous robot, unfortunately Yes or no, I'm just Yuri's editor." Because he mentioned himself, Minano glanced at the people next to him and replied in a calm tone.

"Editor?! Really? You can be an editor at this age." "Isn't this really child labor?" "Hey, don't look at her like this. She is not only my editor, but The editor-in-chief of the magazine department~" "Editor-in-chief?! It's unbelievable." "You mean he's an adult? This appearance? This is too scary." "You are too rude to people you meet for the first time, I'm sorry. , these guys are a bit arrogant." "Here comes the delicious sushi, here comes the delicious sushi!" During the conversation, Simon brought over some standard sushi, which Yuri Kosaka ordered after he sat down just now.

"Hey, it tastes really good." Because the store manager and clerk are both foreigners, Minano Matoi was a little skeptical about the taste of this store at first.

But when I tasted the food now, I found that it tasted really good. It would be understandable if there were high reviews online.

"By the way, Mr. Yuri, when will the game that Akihabara announced before be released?" Maybe it's because Yuri Kosaka is next to him now, Yumasaki Walker suddenly remembered the time when he went to Akihabara. I asked curiously after seeing the Death Stranding trailer starring Okabe Rintaro.

"Ah, I'm a little concerned about that too. That preview is quite exciting." Because Yumasaki Walker mentioned it, Erika Karizawa also asked curiously.

under.

The two met Yuri Kosaka because of the trailer, and it was normal for them to care about that game.

"Um... I'm not sure about that yet. It's better not to have too high expectations." Yuri Kosaka is not yet sure whether to make Death Stranding, mainly because the trailer and the finished product are a bit different, and in the end The highlight is the trailer. I will definitely do it after the trailer. As for the finished product, we will talk about it then.

"Hey~~ I'm quite looking forward to that." Yumasaki Walker was a little disappointed. The trailer was quite exciting. He really wanted to see what the game itself was like.

'Boom! 'While they were chatting, there was a sudden loud noise outside the door of Lucia's sushi restaurant, which made everyone involuntarily focus on the door.

"Huh? What happened?" Minano Matoi, who was eating quietly, heard a loud noise coming from outside the door and asked with some uncertainty.

"Well, no, that voice should be him." "Yes, it must be him. It turns out he was in this area today." Not long after, a blond man wearing a bartender uniform and a man with a reggae haircut came to the scene. The man came in from outside.

And on the street not far away, there was a vending machine that was killed on the roadside for some reason.

Chapter 204 There is no headless and no strange news

"Hey, Kadoda, I didn't expect you to be here today." The blond man who walked in from the outside said hello to Simon first. When he came in, he saw Kadoda Kyohei sitting next to him. He seemed a little surprised, so he took the seat. on their side.

"Shizuo is the one, he's so popular today." "Compared to the usual Shizuo, he's already doing well today." Next to Heiwajima Shizuo, a man with reggae hair, Tom Tanaka, answered on his behalf.

"Tsk, put the work aside...Simon, it's the same as usual." "I understand~ Just the same as before is fine, Shizuo." "Yeah, just the same as before is fine." "Then please wait a moment, I'll be there soon That's fine." "Shizuo-chan~ It's been a while since I last saw you, and I went to fight with someone again." "Shizuo-chan, it's not about fighting, it's about work." "It's all the same. By the way, Shizuo-chan, look, he's Yuri-sensei. Teacher Yuri!" "Yuri, who?" Kyohei Kadoda is Shizuo Heiwajima's classmate in high school. The two have a very good relationship, so Shizuo Heiwajima, Walker Yumasaki, and Erika Karizawa are also quite familiar with each other. .

However, when listening to the two people's introduction, he really didn't know who Yuri was, as he was not interested in anime and manga.

"Ah, is he the famous cartoonist who came to Ikebukuro for a book signing today? Hmm~~ He's quite young." On the other hand, Shizuo Heiwajima's companion, Tom Tanaka with a reggae haircut, was pretty good to Yuri Kosaka. I have some impression and know who Yuri Kosaka is.

"Hey, a cartoonist... It seems that he does have that kind of atmosphere when he says it this way." Seeing what Tom Tanaka said, Shizuo Heiwajima observed Yuri Kosaka for a while, then nodded to himself.

"So you are Shizuo Heiwajima?" "Have you heard of me?" "I have seen the legend of Shizuo Heiwajima on the Internet." Yuri Kosaka did see the record of Shizuo Heiwajima on the Internet, but it was only in I accidentally saw it when I was looking for information when I was sure I was going to have a book signing in Ikebukuro.

The records inside are not so much Shizuo Heiwajima, but a collection of legendary stories about the King of Monsters named Shizuo Heiwajima. The writing is too outrageous.

Even though Yuri Kosaka knew that Shizuo Heiwajima did have a very strong physical fitness, the Shizuo Heiwajima in that record was almost able to fly across the Pacific alone to the United States to have a sala with Superman.

"Um... let's just say, that record is fictitious, don't believe it." Shizuo Heiwajima himself seemed to understand what Yuri Kosaka was looking at, and explained helplessly.

The main reason is that there are not many records about him on the Internet, but the few that are there are extremely popular, especially the part about his legend. I don’t know if the person who wrote it has read it himself, and the writing is not personal at all.

One of the paragraphs mentioned that Shizuo Heiwajima could fly up by holding his own feet, highlighting his disregard for the laws of physics.

"Shizuo-chan has a special legend record on the Internet?! It's so amazing, you really deserve to be Shizuo-chan!" "Awesome, so amazing, does Shizuo-chan also want to become a celebrity?" "What's the use of becoming famous... …” Shizuo Heiwajima doesn’t think being famous is a good thing, but a problem that disrupts his peaceful life.

But for a person like him who only works in Ikebukuro, he has a high probability of finding Ikebukuro when he searches for it online. He feels that there must be a certain rat that lives in the sewers.

"Speaking of which, I would like to ask, are there any urban legends here in Ikebukuro?" Shizuo Heiwajima has appeared and can be found online, but a certain soul figure in Ikebukuro cannot be found.

This makes Yuri Kosaka wonder whether it is just that he cannot be found online or that the other party is not in Ikebukuro at all.

"Urban legend? If you want to talk about Ikebukuro's urban legend, Shizuo-chan is actually one." "Yes, it is still one of the most popular ones." "Not that kind, it's something like urban ghost stories, such as having no head.

Riders roaming the streets of Ikebukuro on motorcycles and the like. "Headless knight, you mean the headless knight... Are there any such strange stories in Ikebukuro?" "I haven't heard of it, what about you?" "Kosaka Yuri's statement made the two of them scratch their heads. They really didn't have this memory and could only look at others.

"I'm sorry, I haven't heard of anything like this." "I haven't heard of it either. It doesn't seem like I can be of much help." "After all, there are no such weird stories in this era. It's no longer popular." Yumasaki Walker and Karizawa Erika are already quite locals in Ikebukuro. If they haven't heard of it, it's basically the same as if others haven't heard of it either.

"No, although I did expect it, but...could it be that they are still in Ireland?" It's too subtle that this big group of people are here, but the Headless Horseman is not here.

It's like when you eat meat buns, there is no meat inside, only the skin of the buns.

Considering that the world is generally peaceful, Kosaka Yuri has reason to suspect that the headless horseman may not have come out of Ireland from the beginning.

"Ireland? Oh yes, the Headless Horseman seems to be indeed a local legend in Ireland." Although Yuri Kosaka muttered to himself softly, the word "Ireland" was heard by the person next to him, making the other party realize that the Headless Horseman seems to be indeed a native legend. It is a legend spread in Ireland.

"What, Yuri-sensei is planning to draw the urban ghost story series for his next work?" "It's unlikely. I remember Yuri-sensei is currently in dual-open mode. Steins;Gate is also being serialized. How can there be so many? Time." "That's right, then...then something weird happened in our Ikebukuro, and Yuri-sensei is here to find out the truth!" "How is that possible? You have read too many comics." Animation It's okay if there is such a plot in the comics. In reality, it is difficult for anyone to believe that such a corny story will actually happen.

"Well, if there is no Headless Horseman, what kind of gangs are there in Ikebukuro? The kind that use colors to represent themselves and a large group of people?" "Hey, Yuri-sensei, modern times are a legal society, there is no such thing. , although it cannot be said that there are no gangsters on the roadside, but I have never seen a large group of gangs." "If a specific symbol is used to represent a group, the police will investigate it. How can there be such an outrageous thing." " No? It's... regrettable." Kosaka Yuri sighed. It seems that not only the Headless Horseman, but also several major gangs do not exist in Ikebukuro, so some of the stories in his memory should not happen. , but I don’t know if those people are still there.

But in this case, there is no point even being there, because nothing major will happen.

Thinking about it this way, it was quite a rare sight for Shizuo Heiwajima to pull out the vending machine upside down.

Chapter 205 Sketch

"It's quite an interesting shop." "But let me go with the matryoshka sushi and whirlpool sushi." "Really? But I think the taste is pretty good." "It's not the taste, but it's not sushi at all. Well, everything else is so normal, how could there be something so confusing?" "Because the owner is a foreigner? Maybe foreign sushi is like this." "Is that so? Forget it, I should go, Yuri What do you mean, do you want one on the way back?" "No, I'll walk around for a while before leaving. I'll have a rest tomorrow anyway." "You're really energetic, so it's almost time for me to leave." Kosaka Yuri and Minano were entangled I stayed at Lucia Sushi Restaurant for almost an hour. Since it was my first time here, Kosaka Yuri ordered a lot of sushi with strange names.

The matryoshka sushi can only be described as average, and he even saw fried dough stick sushi on the menu.

What can I say about the taste? It's actually pretty good.

But in Yuri Kosaka's opinion, the taste of fried dough stick sushi is not so much sushi, but a variation of glutinous rice, which made him feel like he was in a breakfast restaurant.

Yumasaki Walker and Karizawa Erika, who had been pestering Kosaka Yuri asking questions at first, left more than half an hour ago.

After all, it wasn't their first time eating at Lucia's Sushi Restaurant. They didn't have to choose anything weird, they just had a normal dinner.

Although Yumasaki Walker wanted to chat again after the meal, he finally left because others were busy.

"Are you going to wander around here? Well, I heard that you are a famous cartoonist, so I would like to remind you that it is best not to go to those remote alleys. I heard that cartoonists always like to go to such places to draw materials, but Don't go at night, go during the day if you want to." Kadoda Kyohei and his party left early, but Heiwajima Shizuo and his companions finished eating at about the same time as Kosaka Yuri.

After Minano Matoi waved and left, he reminded Kosaka Yuri when he seemed to be ready to wander alone.

"Hey, the security around here is so bad. Didn't I say before that there aren't any big gangs?" "But those little gangsters will still come out. If a famous cartoonist like you is robbed, I'm sure what will happen next You can see the report in the news every week." The person who spoke was Tom Tanaka. The job of him and Shizuo Heiwajima was to beg those who clearly had the ability to pay back the money but refused to pay it back no matter what.

Those who owe money, if such negative news appears, it will have some impact on their work.

"I don't think there's anything to worry about. I have some fighting power to protect myself." "A cartoonist's fighting power...forget it, I've given you advice anyway, Shizuo, let's go." Tom Tanaka didn't look very good. I believe that in his opinion, a professional cartoonist saying that he has the ability to protect himself is equivalent to a woman saying that she has learned self-defense skills.

"Hey, wait a minute, Mr. Shizuo, can you let me draw a sketch for you as a souvenir of this time." "Sketch?" Heiwajima Shizuo, who was about to leave with Tom Tanaka, was stunned for a moment. asked with some confusion.

"Shizuo, you are such a popular character. Even such a famous cartoonist wants to draw a sketch for you~~ It's up to you to decide. Anyway, there will be nothing to do next." They had no life today, so they came to Lucia Sushi Restaurant He could still eat slowly for so long, so Tom Tanaka asked Heiwa Shizuo to decide whether he agreed or not.

"As long as I have a little time, I'll draw something casually as a souvenir of my visit to Ikebukuro today." "I don't think there's anything worth commemorating in Ikebukuro...Okay, there's nothing to do anyway. If you want to draw it, just draw it. "Then, wait a moment." After obtaining the consent of Heiwajima Shizuo, Kosaka Yuri walked into the Lucia Sushi restaurant he had just left. After a while, he came out with a blank page of paper. He had a pen with him for drawing. Carrying is not required.
