Full-time cartoonist

Assistant Tanaka watched the discussion in the news newspaper about the AI ​​plot in "Go Revolution".

Several manga critics disapproved of Tori Akino's idea for Mirai.

"It is impossible for artificial intelligence to defeat professional Go players based on the development of AI and the current status quo."

Even the majority of the audience expressed opinions that it would not happen or be impossible as to the rationality of the plot.

All these things made Tanaka worried.

He also doesn’t understand the development of artificial intelligence and what is right and wrong.

But as Tori Akino's future assistant, Tori Akino accepted his unbearable self during his trough period, so Tanaka stood by Hibiki Hibiki with a grateful heart.

Tanaka's stress tolerance is very low. Due to his experience of moving frequently when he was a child, introversion is his epitome.

"I really don't know what to do if I were in this situation."

He glanced sideways at Higashino Hibiki, who was humming a song, and found that Higashino Hibiki was in an unexpectedly good mood.

"Teacher, what you are singing is "My Friend" by sister Sakai Izumi!" Oda heard it and shouted excitedly: "It really sounds good!"

Hibiki bought Sakai Izumi's album afterwards and was fascinated by it. It indeed has extraordinary appeal. Underneath the sweet voice, it has the power to inspire people.

"Yeah," Hibiki Higashino nodded, "'My Friend' goes well with 'Slam Dunk'. Maybe we will use this song as the ending theme of 'Slam Dunk'."

"It will definitely fit!" Oda strongly recommended.

Watching Hibiki and Oda chatting without any worries at all, Tanaka's worries gradually disappeared.

"Tori Akino-sensei has a very strong heart."

…

Time flies, and inadvertently, April comes, and Hibiki Higashi is in the third grade.

Walking in Musashino, Hibiki Hibiki is thinking.

He has gradually developed this habit. When his mind is confused, he will take a walk to clear his mind.

The people you meet on the road, with their youth and vitality, are naturally reborn.

At the main entrance of the school, there is a club recruiting new students. When they see the beautiful new students, they become enthusiastic.

"Check out the swimsuit wrestling department!"

"The Go Department welcomes new recruits."

"Join the basketball club and dominate the country with us!"

Even the boys are very welcome in every club.

Higashino Hibiki hasn't seen such a lively scene for a long time. He really lacks social interaction now. He is stuck in comics. Gradually, he can't speak anymore.

Passing by the club recruitment activities, he seemed to be invisible, and no club attracted him.

Dong Yexiang was not angry and wanted to question, but heard someone ask.

"That handsome guy is quite free, let's ask him."

"Looking at his gloomy look, he is definitely not a new student. It would be a waste of time to find him."

"That's it."

Hearing this, Higashikata couldn't hold back.

The once sunny and happy boy has now become a gloomy homebody.

Back in the studio, the assistants were still working hard. Hibiya Hibiki sat at the workstation and started drawing without saying a word.

This abnormal behavior surprised Tanaka.

Normally, Higashino Hibiki would say hello, engage in family matters, and chat enthusiastically.

He raised his head and looked at Higashi Hibiki, whose brows were knitted together. Even though he was working hard, he could clearly see that his thoughts were already running away.

I don’t know what I’m thinking, and I’m in a bad mood.

"Today I heard a lot of people talking about the plot of "Slam Dunk"." Tanaka looked at the depressed Hibiki Hibiki and started talking, "They all said it was very interesting, exciting and interesting."

He signaled with his eyes, and Yoshii Sankyu noticed it, and sighed "Ah", took out a newspaper, and said exaggeratedly:

"That's right. The famous critic Mr. Furutayama wrote an article and praised the words "Mitsui, the stormy three-pointer." It is said that in the comics, from Mitsui Hisashi's emotional accumulation, to the trough, to the return to the original intention, and finally the explosion, it is comprehensive and vividly depicted. It's like enjoying the thrill of running a full marathon. "

This chapter has received very good reviews and has replaced "Go Revolution" as a hot topic.

Previously, Hibiki was criticized for being whimsical, but now the news media has turned into praising him.

Seamless connection, the transition was smooth, as if nothing had happened.

But what worried Tanaka was that Higashino Hibiki still looked depressed after hearing so many compliments and could not become happy.

He was really overwhelmed and didn't know what else to do.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Sasaki called to inform Hibiki Hibiki that Komasa ranked first in "Slam Dunk".

Higashikata just nodded.

This made Tanaka even more convinced that he was hurt by the remarks and was in a bad mood.

Tanaka saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Higashino Hibiki stood up and announced that the week's work was over. The next time they would meet again would be next Tuesday.

After finishing speaking, he said he wanted to go out to relax, and walked away, leaving behind his assistants who looked at each other.

"I just said that Tori Akino-sensei was in a bad mood, and that's true." Tanaka sighed.

Yoshii Yamahisa was disappointed.

Oda was puzzled by this.

"Tori Akino-sensei has a strong heart, how could he be affected so easily?"

Akimiya Akemi nodded, "Higashino-kun is very confident in his own judgment and doesn't take other people's opinions to heart. In the TV interview some time ago, he was also understated and calm."

Both of them knew Hibiki Higashikata very well.

There are also personality factors. They have a strong heart, so they rarely consider it from this perspective.

"Maybe it's because he is very confident in his own judgment?" Tanaka suddenly realized and said loudly: "The readers don't understand me, so the teacher is very sad!"

"Looking at it from this angle..." Oda also hesitated.

Yoshii Sanjiu said: "Maybe we should... take action."

…

After Higashino Hibiki went out, he went to the underground garage. He missed a place very much and now he was going to visit it.

Driving his Mercedes-Benz in Tokyo at 6 p.m., Hibiki Higashino did not enjoy the thrill of speed, but instead felt depressed.

"Why is there a traffic jam..."

It is now six o'clock in the afternoon on Friday. Dongye Xiang's anxious mood gradually cooled down in the luxury car.

At the same time, in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, in a Go club near the Shueisha Building.

A tall man with a bookish air raised his head and was filled with emotion.

"I'm back again."

After saying that, he walked in.

…

It was supposed to be an hour's drive, but by the time Hibiki arrived, it was already dark.

After finding a spot to park in a nearby parking lot, Higashino walked into a Go club.

He studied here for a period of time, which was the first step in his enlightenment in Go. Now he needs to relieve his boredom, so it is better to come here.

You will feel happy if you torture the novice Go players.

He learned this experience from Akira Yamazaki.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard the woman's voice of surprise.

That is the lobby manager of the club. I haven't seen her for almost two years. She is still the same as before. Although she is in her thirties, she still has youth and vitality.

Compared to her, Hibiki seemed lifeless.

"Long time no see, Tori Akino-sensei!"

In her hand, there is also a folding fan with Hibiki Higashikata's signature on it.

"Long time no see." Dongye Xiang nodded in greeting.

"Did you make an agreement?" the lobby manager asked, "We actually arrived on the same day."

"Who?" Dong Yexiang was surprised.

"You'll know when you get in. It must be a surprise." She covered her mouth and snickered.

It was already dark, and the chess hall was very lively. It seemed like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time were chatting.

"You've really changed!"

Dong Yexiang heard someone say this.

Among the crowd, Hibiki saw a very conspicuous person.

That was Xiaochun, dressed cleanly and neatly, without the sloppy appearance before.

His careless movements also became more delicate.

It seems that although he did not become a professional chess player, his life was still exciting.

That would be great.
