I am practicing in Tokyo

Chapter 133 Fireworks Display

What a beauty!

When Fujimotoshu heard Ikawa Shizuru's voice just now, he guessed that she was a beauty. Unexpectedly, she was even more beautiful than expected. She was just a little older, almost thirty, right?

Having just completed his master's degree from Tohoku University of Arts and Technology this year, he found a job in a convenience store in Tokyo. His main purpose was to observe all kinds of people and accumulate material for future comic works. He only posted a few short stories on the Internet.

Since he was writing a short story, he had never thought that an editor would come to his door.

"Please come in."

The purpose of learning the art of painting is to create comics, the purpose of creating comics is to make money, and the purpose of making money is to learn painting. The simple closed-loop logic in Fujimoto's mind is running.

"Thank you."

Shizuru Yichuan walked into the rental house. The interior structure was 1DK (one bedroom, one living room). Surprisingly, the environment inside was not messy at all. There were several bottles of mixed wine on the kotatsu table, and a drawing was placed aside. She

After sitting down, he glanced curiously.

"That's my new idea, Flame Fist."

Fujimotoshu waved one hand, made a half-smiling look, and said the lines.

"Then use Flame Fist!"

Is this person really reliable?

Ikawa Shizuru regretted coming to the door. I heard that there was a fireworks display today. Is it really a waste of time to come here?

She opened the manuscript, looked at it for a while, looked up at the unknown vine tree, and murmured to herself.

"Tsuki Fujii, a high school football league champion, a Koshien champion, a nationally famous high school student, just graduated from our school, why are you still thinking about a name? Is your mind empty?"

The clerk's compliments didn't seem fake. Shigure walked out of the dressing room with a graceful face of sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a furisode kimono with a light bauhinia pattern. Her hair was tied up, revealing her fair neck and hands.

He held a Uchiwa fan with the whereabouts of cherry blossoms painted on it, and even Fujii, who he often got along with, took a second look in surprise.

"They are my classmates. The one with glasses is Akane Tsukiike, and the other one is Rina Tomosaka."

At this time, the long-awaited firework display exploded with the first rising firework, rising from the opposite side of the river bank in the amusement park, blooming into a ball of sparks.

"Shigure-chan, you're so slow!"

In this way, the team to watch the fireworks display expanded to five people, three female high school students, a college student, and a middle-aged otaku. This combination was a bit weird, and the good looks of Shigure and Fujii attracted a lot of attention.

look.

The stall owner introduced the charging standards. There were colorful goldfish swimming in a large basin. You had to use a paper mesh spoon to pick them up and keep them for yourself.

Fujii handed over three thousand yen bills and paid the money readily.

There were two long rows of stalls in the amusement park, mostly selling food, and there were also many small games of shooting prizes and catching goldfish. Shigure and her classmates walked in front and stopped in front of the goldfish fishing stall.

"She is truly worthy of being the princess of Meinong. Her bearing and cultivation are far beyond ordinary people."

After catching the goldfish, everyone bought several bundles of fairy sticks made of magnesium powder in front of the fireworks stall, and borrowed plastic buckets of water from the stall owner. Three girls in Chinese costumes each held a glowing fairy stick.

, quietly watching it glow and heat until it goes out.

Shigure beside him introduced a few words, Fujii Shu nodded, and Uncle Tenkai next to him was a little inexplicably moved.

And Yuechi Qian has already picked up one goldfish after another. Her technique is so skillful that even the stall owner has a bitter look on his face.

"You are so beautiful. My guest, you are the most suitable woman in kimono I have ever seen."

Walking to the entrance of the amusement park designated for watching fireworks, two young girls, each wearing kimonos of different colors, waved to Shigure.

Tsukichi Akane, who had caught twelve goldfish in eleven opportunities, finally stopped moving. The reason why there was one more fish was because she caught two goldfish in one net at one time, which is called a goldfish killer.

"Is this your cousin? He's so handsome! Wait, I think I've seen his picture on the campus wall."

Shigure just watched quietly. After the fairy wand in his hand was extinguished, he threw it into the prepared plastic bucket, and a burst of green smoke appeared.

"Let's come thirty times first."

"Thank you." The quiet Yuechi Akane responded.

"This kind of small furisode kimono made of pure silk costs 320,000 yen. If you rent it for a day, it only costs 3,000 yen, which is more cost-effective."

I forgot to add that what Shigure likes to watch most is not the Oku and Sengoku dramas of the same era, but the comedy shows starring Shimura Ken. During the time when he was home, Fujii noticed that she was in front of the TV on time, covering his head.

He smiled softly and tried not to make any sound.

"Our Shigure-hime finally has ordinary friends. I saw that she doesn't participate in club activities and just watches TV when she goes home every day. I thought she was isolated."

He looked at his phone. The information sent by Shizuru Yichuan showed the results of the single volume of Chainsaw Man that had just been released for more than a month. Recalling that the original single volume of Chainsaw Man seemed to have only more than 4 million copies in the first half of 21,

The quality of my LV4 painting skills has indeed improved a bit, but it has not yet reached the point of qualitative change.

"It sells 1.2 million copies in a single month. If you include royalties, you can earn tens of millions of yen this month."

"I'm starting to understand it all."

"Then I'm welcome." The cheerful and outgoing Tomosaka Rina was the first to step forward and try.

Fujii didn't even counter-offer, he just took out a credit card and paid the money with great enthusiasm. Our Shigure-hime is so awesome, he is not a stingy person.

"How much does it cost? I want to buy this kimono."

In the clothing rental shop, Fujii Shu and Uncle Amami put on the same style of black short-sleeved yukata. This kind of clothing looks like a kimono, but it is actually a simplified version with a more affordable price. A serious furisode kimono costs a few dollars.

Prices start at 100,000 yen, and there are more gorgeous 12-piece kimonos at higher prices, which are priced out of the reach of ordinary people.

The three of them walked out of the store and walked to the amusement park a few kilometers away. Today is the Chinese Valentine's Day. Legend has it that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in the sky will meet each other tonight. The atmosphere of the festival in the island country actually surpasses that of the country of origin, but they are not as popular as those in the Han country.

Shameless, I still admit that the Qixi Festival comes from Chinese civilization.

Shigure also tried it, but she didn't go too far. She caught three goldfish after every opportunity, but the colors were all different.

Uncle Tenkai has the most contact with Shigure and knows her origin and background. He raised her as a niece. Although he is a painter in the inner world, his character is nothing to say. Even if he has ideas, he does not have the ability to offend the great demon.

level of Shigure.

The female clerk glanced at Fujii's tree secretly and answered with a guilty conscience.

After admiring it, Fujii asked the clerk that this store not only rents yukata and kimonos, but also sells them, and can even accept customized business.

"One hundred yen is a chance, and you get one free every ten times."

Her movements were fast and urgent, and she used up one of her ten delivery opportunities without even catching a single goldfish. The stall owner couldn't stand it anymore and offered her a water bag with a small goldfish in it as compensation.

"Please put it in two bags."

"If it can exist for a long time, it will not look good." Yuechi Qian said philosophically, fireworks are easy to get cold, and people are easy to age.

The streets are filled with people wearing fans and wearing yukata and kimonos, as well as some tourists wearing regular clothes. They will also find a traditional clothing store, go out and change into yukata as the Romans do, and participate in the Tanabata Fireworks Festival.

"It's not fun at all."

"It's so short!" Tomosaka Rina sighed. Although the fireworks are beautiful, they are too short.

In other words, the super-evolved Zashiki Warashigure suddenly doubled his income several times!

This man is a genius.

——

Shigure, who has been attending Hachioji High School for one semester, has completely integrated into the identity of a female high school student in the island nation. Only the banknotes she picks up almost every day remind her of the monster's ability to attract money and her identity.

Rina Tomosaka raised her lips and angrily took the transparent water bag containing only a small goldfish. After observing its swimming posture for a while, she couldn't hide her smile.

Tomosaka Rina spotted someone next to Shigure, pointed at her and shouted in surprise. The bespectacled girl next to her, Akane Tsukichi, sighed and added.

Then came the second and third fireworks. Orange fireworks scattered in the shape of chrysanthemums, covering the sky and lighting up the earth.

"It's so beautiful!" Tomosaka Rina still looked up and sighed. The fleeting fireworks are forever imprinted in the memory. I don't know when and where I will be able to think of the brilliance and laughter of that night again.

"Um."

Fujii, who had not spoken for a long time, promised that without Golden Finger, his life would be as short as fireworks.
