Tokyo life starting with painting

Suzuki Ha, female, pen name Shumoto Fuji, she has serialized several popular works in "Cold" before, and then won the main author position on "Cold" with "The Man Reflected in the Camera" .

Similarly, "The Man Reflected in the Camera" has also suppressed "Between the Dolls" by the newly debuted author Kuromiya Akisa for most of the time, ranking first in the long-term reader praise survey.

After the completion of "The Man Reflected in the Camera", she was recruited by Shinji Furuta to Fuji Publishing House, where she remains to this day——

"If this continues, maybe I can really have a chance to meet Mr. Higashino from Urashima Publishing House."

With this thought in mind, Shinji Furuta, who was holding this draft of the storyboard, turned to look at the woman at the manga workbench.

He had messy light yellow curly hair, his eyes were half-opened, and he looked dazed, his face was frighteningly pale, and his thick dark circles looked like he hadn't slept for a long time.

She was yawning and making coffee for herself, her white heels hanging out of her slippers.

She is Suzuki Hata, the same Fujitsukimoto who was in "Cold", and is now the mainstay author of Fuji Publishing's weekly "Thriller".

Suzuki Yu seemed to be born with a bit of an idiot in life. Even if the editor-in-chief Furuta Shinji was in front of her, she would just wear pajamas and not care at all.

Under her feet were all shot manuscripts and barely used pencil stubs, so densely packed that it felt like someone would slip if they stepped on them.

However, Furuta Shinji knew the other party very well.

Suzuki Yu was originally such a person. Apart from lying down and resting, he could only draw comics and not care about anything else. He didn't care about anything.

Even when we go out to eat, the other party will bring a sketchbook and draw the available materials for use in comics.

Furuta Shinji has seen her suddenly fall asleep while painting - it feels more like she fell into a coma suddenly than falling asleep.

Furuta Shinji panicked several times, thinking that his mainstay author had died suddenly while drawing comics.

He often acted as a father and a mother at the same time, helping to hire hourly workers to clean Suzuki Yu, and reminding her to rest in time. Obviously, this had little effect.

The clean sofa under Furuta Shinji's butt was the one he had just tidied up.

But compared to such trivial matters, Furuta Shinji wanted to ask the other party's opinion.

What exactly is Higashino thinking about this comic?

So he put down the draft storyboard of "The Lawyer Trap" in his hand and asked with some curiosity: "Teacher Shumoto Fuji, what do you think?"

"Uh, what do you think?" Suzuki Yu took off his shoes, bare his feet, hugged his knees, held the coffee cup in both hands, took a sip and then raised his head.

Her expression was lazy, and she seemed to be wandering.

"Comparing this "Lawyer's Trap" with Mr. Higashino over there, do you think it has a chance of winning?"

"Teacher Higashino? Who is that?" Suzuki Yu asked strangely.

Don't you know who Higashinoji is?

Furuta Shinji opened his mouth and really felt that Suzuki Yu was an alien.

The previous Kumamon controversy ended with "Midnight Ring", and now many newspapers in Tokyo are still dragging out Higashino Tsukasa to beat the corpse to make it popular. Why did Suzukiha get there and ask questions?

In your next comic, you will have to compete with the other party!

Shinji Furuta shook his head helplessly, but he had long known that Suzuki Ha was a simple lazy person who couldn't muster the energy to do anything except draw comics, so he still explained.

"That's Mr. Higashino, the author of "The Ring" and "The Lonely Gourmet"."

"Oh, is this the author who drew "The Ring"?"

Suzuki Yu remembered it immediately, and a very interested look appeared on her face. She jumped down from the chair and walked over with her slippers on: "What's wrong with him?"

""Shinji Furuta.

He said that he didn't recognize Higashinoji's name, and when he was asked about the title of the work "Midnight Ring", Suzukiha actually reacted. This is really true.

But forget it, Furuta Shinji patiently explained to her: "It's that Mr. Higashino. He may be serializing a new work recently and is very likely to compete with you in the ring - I want to ask Mr. Shumotofuji if he has the confidence to do so. Beat him."

"Didn't he just finish "The Ring"?" Suzuki Yu frowned upon hearing this and couldn't help but interject: "Is he going to start a new work so soon?"

"Yes." Shinji Furuta added: "Like you, he also wants to draw cartoons about lawyers."

Are you also going to draw a lawyer’s career theme?

Suzukiha looked disappointed after listening to Furuta Shinji's words, and muttered to himself inexplicably: "What a pity."

"Huh?" Furuta Shinci obviously didn't understand what Suzuki Yu meant by this, but he still looked at her.

"Chief Editor Furuta, have you seen that teacher?"

"It's Mr. Higashino."

Furuta Shinji really couldn't listen anymore, so he added something.

Suzuki Yu rubbed his hands and asked him curiously.

They already knew the type of comics the other person wanted to draw, and she estimated that Furuta Shinji had met the other person.

"Have you seen what happened?" Feeling that something was not right about Suzuki Yu's state, Furuta Shinji asked her strangely.

"I want to meet him in real life. Chief Editor Gu Tian, ​​can you take me there?"

Suzuki Yu made a rare request, but the content of the request

"Why do you want to see Mr. Higashino?" Furuta Shinci was very strange and couldn't help but ask.

"I like "The Ring" very much, so I hope to meet Mr. Higashino."

Suzuki Yu waved her hand, and the coffee in her hand spilled out due to her fierce movements. She looked very excited, as if she must see Higashinoji.

"It's okay to just meet once."

After all, he was the author of his own pillar. It was just such a simple request. Shinji Furuta just thought about it and nodded in agreement.

However, he still gave Suzuki Yu a vaccination: "But after meeting Mr. Higashino, Mr. Shumotofuji, you can't talk nonsense."

Furuta Shinji still wants to poach Higashinoji, but it would be bad if Suzukiha makes the atmosphere too embarrassing.

"Okay, I understand." As soon as this was mentioned, Suzuki Yu returned to his lackluster appearance and responded, and then spoke again: "It's too late today, Editor-in-Chief Furuta, it's almost time for me to rest. You look"

too late?

Only then did Furuta Shinji react and glanced at the time on his watch.

It's really late, it's already eight or nine o'clock.

"It's indeed very late. Should I leave now because I have to meet Mr. Higashino tomorrow? I can also inform the other side."

"Yeah, just tomorrow. I'll go to bed earlier today and be more energetic when I see Mr. Higashino tomorrow."

Suzuki Yu responded lazily, and then hurriedly sent Editor Furuta out the door.

Feeling her anxious movements, Editor-in-Chief Gu Tian also looked puzzled, but he suddenly thought of something.

——Suzukiha hasn't answered yet whether he has the confidence to defeat Higashinoji!

"Did you get fooled?"

Editor-in-chief Gu Tian opened his mouth and shook his head after a while.

Forget it, there's no point thinking about it now.

What you need to think about is how to defeat Higashinoji.

He glanced at Suzuki Yu's closed door before leaving with the storyboard draft of "The Lawyer Trap".

The next day, the high school class in Beiyi School had a noon break.

Tonoji exhaled and rubbed his temples.

He was still not very interested in these school courses as always, and spent the whole morning thinking about the plot of "The Winner is Justice".

"I'm in good condition, so I guess there won't be much problem if I just follow the idea in my head." Tonoji tapped the table gently and sorted out the plot in his mind again. When he didn't find any mistakes, he relaxed He breathed out and prepared to take out the bread to eat.

But soon——

The announcement in the North Yiyuan School sounded.

"Please Mr. Higashinoji from Class A, please come to the faculty office immediately."

"Huh?" Higashino stopped moving and felt that this unfolding seemed to have happened last week.

Could it be Furuta Shinji again?

This shouldn't be the case.

My attitude should have been quite firm last time.

No matter what the other party does, you have to let him go for two or three weeks before coming back.

But forget it.

Since there is a summons, it must be for trouble.

Higashino didn't hesitate, stood up and walked to the faculty office.

Along the way, many people greeted him, a "famous person from the North Yoshinori School", in a respectful manner. Higashinoji naturally returned the greetings with a smile.

After walking around like this, Tonoji walked into the faculty office.

"sorry for disturbance."

He said hello, and then saw Shinji Furuta with a smile on his face.

Is it really you?

Higashinoji was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Furuta Shinji would find him again within a few days.

No, it’s not just Shinji Furuta.

Tonoji's eyes turned to the woman standing next to him.

She has light yellow curly hair, a smooth forehead, and a very pale complexion. The overall facial features are not perfect, but she can still be regarded as a beauty.

But to be honest, the other party's clothes are a bit strange - Higashino took a closer look, isn't this just pajamas?

Moreover, the other party was still yawning, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, and looked like he had not had much rest, as if he had been forcibly dragged out of bed by Furuta Shinji.

Feeling Higashinoji's appraising eyes, even though Furuta Shinji was always shameless, he felt a little embarrassed.

After all, the pajamas worn by the author of his own drama and the casual look are a bit rude no matter how you think about it.

After all, didn't Suzuki Ha say he should have a good rest? Why do you still look like you haven't had a good rest?

He was a little helpless. He just felt that it was really difficult to be the editor-in-chief, and his hair was almost gone.

However, Higashinoji didn't keep looking at the other person, because it would be impolite to keep looking up and down.

So he just glanced twice and then looked away. At the same time, he said hello to Furuta Shinji: "Chief Editor Furuta, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Haha, it's not that I'm looking for Mr. Higashino." Editor-in-chief Furuta laughed dryly, and then extended his hand to introduce: "Let me introduce Mr. Higashino. This is Mr. Shumotofuji from our Fuji Publishing House. His real name is Suzuki Ha."

Tree vine?

After hearing this name, Higashikata turned to the woman with dark circles, nodded and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, I am Higashino."

"Hello, hello, hello." This Suzuki Yu showed a very happy expression when she saw Higashino. She firmly held Higashino's palm and asked at the same time: "You are the author of "The Ring", Right?"

"Uh, yes." Higashinoji was stunned by her sudden vitality, but he still nodded with a smile: "I have also read "Kageman" by Mr. Kagemoto Fuji, and it is also very interesting."

This is not a polite thing for Higashinoji. He had done a lot of homework before painting "Midnight Ring", and he naturally didn't miss a single volume of works by the popular author Shumoto Fuji.

But what Tonoji didn't expect was that when Suzuki Yu heard what he said, she laughed out loud. She waved her hands and shook her head vigorously:

"No, it won't work at all. "Shadow Man" can't compare to "The Ring" at all. No, that thing can't even be compared to "The Ring."

This is too much to belittle one's own work, and the other party is very decisive, and what he says is true, without the slightest intention of adulteration.

But paired with her lazy and messy outfit, she looked like she was talking crazy.

And it was just like this that made Higashino look surprised.

This Suzuki Yu is really a very strange person.

Next to him, Shinji Furuta didn't expect that Suzuki Ha, who had always been relatively undisciplined, would be so excited, so he winked repeatedly to tell her to be more restrained.

"Nothing surprising. I'm a fan of 'The Ring,' and I really like 'The Ring.'"

Suzuki Ha was obviously a girl, but she didn't care about her image at all. She looked at Higashinoji and raised her eyes with thick dark circles: "Teacher Higashino, I heard from Chief Editor Furuta that your new manga is about choosing a career as a lawyer. Genre comics?”

"That's the plan."

The other party knew what he wanted to draw, which Higashinoji didn't find strange.

After all, the two of them were about to compete in the ring, so it would be strange that Furuta Nobuyuki didn't say anything to her.

"Really?" After Suzukiyu got Higashinoji's answer, his originally excited expression suddenly fell silent.

Her eyes kept scanning Higashinoji.

After watching it for about half a minute, Suzuki Yu murmured to himself again: "I'm a little disappointed."

Her tone was regretful.

"disappointment?"

"Yes, I'm a little disappointed." Faced with Higashinoji's question, Suzuki Yu sighed regretfully: "Because Mr. Higashino can't beat my new lawyer cartoon this time, I'm a little disappointed."

Suzuki Yu continued: "I have been preparing for this new comic for a month and a half, and Mr. Higashino, your buffer period is only two weeks. This is not an equal duel at all. So I am very disappointed."

Yes.

Suzuki Ha has always been looking forward to Higashino Tsukasa's new comics.

I also hope that I can have an upright competition with the opponent in the ring.

but

"There's no way you can beat me this time, Mr. Higashino, it's better to give up."

Suzuki Yu said calmly.

With a lead of one and a half months - what if Higashinoji could really beat her?

That's a real joke.
