Kasugano Toru enjoys his current life. He goes to school during the day and paints at night. Without the sword of Damocles of economic pressure, his life can even be considered comfortable.
However, such a stable life will not last long, because the Golden Week is coming.
Neon’s Golden Week starts from April 29th and ends on May 5th every year.
Many companies in Neon will choose to suspend business during this week to let employees have a good rest.
In order to stimulate consumption and promote the development of tourism, the government will also launch preferential policies in many tourist cities during this period.
Gradually, the people of Neon have developed the habit of traveling during the Golden Week.
As long as the family has some financial conditions, they will choose to have a happy family at this time.
However, these things obviously have nothing to do with Kasugano Toru, because he has no money.
It is so simple and crude, and it is justified.
So when her sister has not yet gone to the private Otome Saki Girls’ Academy, Qiong will cook some food at home, and Kasugano Toru will take advantage of the peak tourist season to draw two more paintings for others.
The reason why Qiong was going to eat it was because the cypress cakes made by Qiong were unique, and even Kasugano Toru’s craftsmanship could not compare to his sister.
But it was no wonder, cypress cakes were a traditional snack in Japan, and how could Kasugano Toru, a native of China, make such a thing?
The last day of the Golden Week, which was May 5th, was not only Japan’s Boys’ Day, but also Japan’s Dragon Boat Festival. On this day, everyone would eat rice dumplings and cypress cakes, which were said to bring good luck of”prosperous family.”
But after his sister entered junior high school, he never ate these things again.
Making money was the most important thing, and he didn’t have the time to prepare these things by himself.
Kasugano Toru, who had planned to take advantage of this year’s free time to prepare some rice dumplings for his sister, soon found that his plan had failed.
“Sawamura-san, are you saying you want to go out for sketching?”
“It’s not me who goes out to sketch, it’s us together!” Eriri emphasized the tone on the other side of the microphone, emphasizing that this time she was not traveling alone, but she kindly brought Kasugano Toru with her.
“But I haven’t said I’m going yet.” Kasugano Toru was speechless. Is he so uncool now?
Can anyone make the decision for him?
“We are going to Izu, Kasugano-san is really not going?”After the rank was raised, Eriri also knew how to activate skills like her mother.
Skill · Bewitching activated.
Skill · Bewitching failed.
Kasugano Toru curled his lips in disapproval. Not to mention Izu, he didn’t even want to go abroad.
Don’t ask, asking is lazy.
What’s more, if he goes out this time, he will owe Eriri a big favor.
If it is an exchange of interests, he can still accept it occasionally.
But owing such a big favor for no reason is not something that can be repaid casually.
“No, no, there must be a lot of people everywhere during the Golden Week, and I don’t want to go out and see the back of other people’s heads.”
Seeing that her skills had no effect, Eriri was not panicked at all, because she still had a second trick.
Skill: Temptation activated
“I was thinking that if Kasugano-san was willing to go to Izu with me, I could tell you about the JIA Illustration Award.”
“JIAIllustrationAward Illustration Grand Prix?”Toru Kasugano repeated, swallowing his saliva.
Because he had already decided to develop in the field of illustration in the future, Toru Kasugano specifically learned about related competitions.
What could be easier to become famous than standing out in a heavyweight competition?
The JIAIllustrationAward Illustration Grand Prix (hereinafter referred to as the Grand Prix) is for illustration works used or published in non-commercial cooperation. It is famous for its unlimited subject matter, unlimited number of submissions, and varied styles.
Such competition rules are highly inclusive for participating illustrators and are very popular among illustrators.
More importantly, this is a competition that is not limited to nationality or age. Whether you are a Japanese or an adult, you can participate in this competition.
“That’s right, it’s the Grand Prix. I guess Kasugano-san must be very interested, right?” Eriri on the other end of the phone smiled like a little fox. She was totally different from a month ago.
“But I remember that this competition should not require any recommendation, and anyone can sign up to participate, right?” Kasugano Toru really didn’t understand what Erili was up to. Did she think that just by telling her there was such a competition, she could lure her out?
“Kasugano-san is right, you can sign up for this competition yourself.”Eri is not worried that Kasugano Toru is not interested, she hasn’t used her biggest trump card yet.
“I guess Kasugano-san must know that this competition is scored by a five-member judging panel. The work with the highest score will win the grand prize, and the rest will be awarded the gold medal, the Holbein Prize, etc.”
“If Kasugano-san is willing to go to Izu with me to sketch, I can ask my mother to help you collect the award-winning works of previous years, and even introduce one of the judges to you. If you can know in advance what style of work is more popular, I believe that with Kasugano-san’s level, it will not be difficult to win the award!”
With the ability of the Sawamura family, it is not difficult to collect the award-winning works of previous years. In fact, Kasugano Toru can do it himself. After all, the Internet is so developed now, everything can be found on the Internet, it just takes some effort.
But what really matters to him is the referee.
You know, those who can become judges are all well-known bigwigs in the circle.
In today’s society, what is the most valuable?
It must be connections. Only this thing can make money, and the others are fake.
So Eriri’s move hit Kasugano Toru’s vital point firmly.
The skill temptation was judged successfully.
Kasugano Toru can’t rise again!
……
Time goes back one hour ago
“Eriri, can you tell mom why you must invite Kasugano-kun to go to Izu with you?” Seeing her daughter’s excitement, Sayuri Sawamura’s heart was like a spice bottle overturned, with mixed feelings.
Eriri would never go out with boys before.
Not to mention going out with boys, even if she was asked to go out to buy a comic book by herself, she would find all kinds of excuses, and would only go out reluctantly when she really couldn’t delay any longer.
And as if someone was chasing her outside, she not only had to wrap herself up tightly, but also went out and came back quickly, which was completely unlike the Eriri with a late stage of procrastination.
“Because I want to continue to ask Kasugano-san for advice. He knows a lot. There are many things that students probably don’t know, right? I always feel that Kasugano-san is like an adult, and can teach me many things that only adults know.”Eri said these threatening words without any concern. Sayuri
Sawamura’s face darkened even more…
