Tokyo life starting with painting

As for what else could happen between men and women, Chimei Kawa could only talk about 'love' no matter how much she thought about it.

It's not that she's easy to think wrong, but the chance of pure friendship between men and women is really low.

Could it be that the cabbage was eaten by pigs?

If I don't have to say anything, Mingsha's conditions are not as good as those of Higashinoji, and there is a big-breasted school girl next to Higashinoji.

Is it because Kuromiya Meisa has taken advantage of Higashinoji's cabbage?

No way?

Chimei Nagawa was still puzzled. Seeing Akisa Kuromiya put all the things in her bag, she couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Akisa, what do you think of Higashino-kun? of?"

"Ah?" Kuromiya Mingsha didn't understand why her friend suddenly brought up this topic. She was obviously stunned, with a thoughtful look on her quiet face.

After a while, she thought thoughtfully and replied: "Junior Higashikata is a very powerful person. His painting skills are much better than mine. He also taught me a lot during the exchange and study. I might need to trouble him in the future."

"ah?"

Chimei Nagawa showed an incredulous expression when she heard her friend say these words.

It's over, it's over, it's over.

When she asked Kuromiya Akisa in the past, Kuromiya Akisa would always lower her head and think for a long time, and then raise her head again and answer: "I will definitely surpass him."

Why is it now like, 'Junior Higashino is great, I should learn more from him? ’

You must know that Akisa Kuromiya was very strong in the past. How could she suddenly give in like this?

It seemed that what she was imagining was true. Akisa Kuromiya was probably tempted to give her a hand.

Chimei Nagawa hesitated for a while, feeling that she should be more tactful at this time and not persuade Akisa Kuromiya too directly.

After all, there is a saying that goes well, girls in love are blind, and it would be bad if she accidentally bruised Akisa Kuromiya's self-esteem.

So she thought for a while before speaking out her thoughts: "Mingsha, I personally feel that it is a bit inappropriate for you to fall in love with junior Higashikata. This behavior of old cows eating young grass is wrong."

Well?

Kuromiya Meisa was originally a very calm and quiet person, but when Chimei Nagawa suddenly said this, her face became confused: "Chimei, what are you talking about?"

She didn't understand at all.

What kind of old cow eats young grass? Whose grass do you eat? Higashinoji?

It happened that at this time, Chimei Nagawa sighed and walked over, gently patted her flat chest: "As a friend, I actually support you, but what do you think about the big-breasted senior girl next to Higashino? How to deal with it?"

Then Chimei Nagawa shook her head worriedly.

She had seen it in the newspaper, the "Moonlight Is So Beautiful" issue.

Higashinoji said that he has a girlfriend, and that girlfriend is most likely the busty school girl he saw before

So what should we do? Mingsha's small breasts are congenital, so it's normal if she can't get big breasts. Sure enough, she still needs to use breast pads, right?

Nagawa Chimei thought about it and wanted to rub Kuromiya Akisa's breasts. She wanted to see if Kuromiya Akisa had room for development in the future.

But before she could reach out her hand, Kuromiya Akisa smashed the sketchbook down, turning the back of her hand red.

"It hurts! Mingsha! What are you doing!? I'm doing it for your own good!"

Chimei Nagawa was still thinking about the possibility of breast massage, but why did Akisa Kuromiya suddenly come back to her?

"What do you want to do?" Kuromiya Mingsha's mouth twitched. She really didn't expect that her best friend would dare to complain first.

"Don't you like Junior Higashino? I'll give you some advice." Nagawa Chimei said and wanted to reach out again, but looking at the sketchbook held in Kuromiya Meisa's expressionless hand, she shrugged He shrugged and could only give up: "Okay, okay, I won't advise you anymore."

Akisa Kuromiya was left speechless for a while by her amusing expression. After a while, she asked Chimi Nagawa, "Chimi, why do you think I like senior Higashino?"

She doesn't seem to have done anything, right?

"Haven't you been comparing the original manuscript of "Midnight Ring" to imitate it these days?" Nagawa Chimei saw that she hadn't realized it yet and continued: "And when I mentioned Senior Higashino in the past, you were always very bitter. Qiu Shen, you are particularly unwilling to lose to him, but today your attitude is completely different."

"Did I look like that before?" Kuromiya Mingsha touched her face in surprise.

"Yes, it's like this." Chimei Nagawa personally gave an example. Her face suddenly fell, her eyebrows knitted together, and her facial features were squeezed together. But this didn't look like bitterness and hatred at all, but rather like My parents are dead.

This appearance made Kuromiya Meisa a little surprised. She touched her face repeatedly, not wanting to look like Chimi Nagawa.

But she only touched it for a while, and then hesitantly told Chimei Nagawa the answer: "Actually, Chimei, the reason why I have been imitating junior Higashino's strokes is because"

Akisa Kuromiya told Chimi Nagawa that she was going to work as a painter in the production team of "The Ring".

"Become a painter?!"

Chimei Nagawa lost her voice for a while, and it took her a long time to realize that her voice seemed a bit loud.

So she hurriedly lowered her tone, but the surprise in her tone still didn't dissipate at all: "Mingsha, do you really want to be a painter? That is a very hard job and the money is not much."

Chimi Nagawa often helps Meisa Kuromiya draw backgrounds, and she is quite clear about things in the animation and manga industry.

Nowadays, many animation film production companies use all hand-drawn production, and have not yet adopted CG computer production.

There are two positions derived from this, one is the original painter, and the other is the animation painter.

Although they all carry the title of 'painter', the position of an original animator is much higher than that of an animation animator, and their salary is also higher than that of an animation animator.

Let’s give a simple example.

For example, a shot of a boy running has several key actions: raising his hands, raising his legs, taking steps, and retracting his legs.

The original artist's job is to draw these key actions of "raising legs and taking steps", but just like this, the action of running is definitely incomplete. For example, the action of "raising hands" must take time to raise the hands. Yes, the same goes for the action of 'lifting the foot'. There is also a process of lifting the foot, but the original artist ignored these processes.

The animator is responsible for complementing the process of raising the legs and taking steps to make the whole picture move.

This job is very tiring, and it mainly depends on the face of the original artist. The most important thing is that the salary is not high-Kuromiya Meisa can just draw a comic and sell a single volume for millions of yen. There is no need for her to suffer this kind of hardship. .

And the most important thing is, why is "The Ring" an animated movie?

"I heard that Mingsha's job is quite tiring. Do you really want to go?" Nagawa Chimei couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, I have to go." Kuromiya Mingsha nodded.

She still spoke as few words as ever, but her attitude was very tough and she had no intention of backing down.

"Why are you so active all of a sudden?" Chimei Nagawa had been holding back and not mentioning Kuromiya Meisa's concerns about Higashinoji's wounds, but she didn't expect that she would actually want to take the initiative to see Higashinoji.

As soon as she said this, Kuromiya Mingsha didn't think about it for long.

She just thought about it and then said: "I want to ask Higashino a lot of questions. Not only about comics, but also about oil painting. In short, I want to be his disciple. I do have many shortcomings. .”

Nagawa Chimei was speechless after hearing this answer.

Because she found out

Akisa Kuromiya seems to be calmer and more humble than before.

This is of course not to say that Akisa Kuromiya's attitude was aggressive in the past, but geniuses always feel a little inaccessible.

But the current Akisa Kuromiya seems to be more down-to-earth compared to her previous image of a genius who stretched one body around her.

She will take the initiative to admit her shortcomings, instead of thinking about 'I must defeat Higashinoji' like before.

Is this change a good thing? Or is it bad?

Chimei Nagawa was inexplicably looking forward to it.

Since the tenth episode of "The Winner Is Justice", the reputation accumulated in the past has gradually exploded.

Looking at "The Winner is Justice", which has rekindled word-of-mouth and topics, Higashinoji also breathed a sigh of relief - at least he did not embarrass this popular Japanese drama in his previous life, and he also received considerable honors.

But at the same time, news came from the Kita Gymnasium where Higashinoji had been hanging around.

Winter vacation is about to begin.

When it comes to winter vacation, we have to mention the vacation system for students in Japan.

Japanese students have a total of three holidays, spring break, summer break, and winter break.

Among them, winter vacation is the shortest, which is only two weeks of Christmas vacation plus annual vacation. Classes will start again on the sixth day of January.

In addition to these three standard holidays, the rest are the Golden Week holidays and the usual sporadic three consecutive holidays.

Higashinoji can spend this winter vacation happily. After all, Kitajuku directly hides his grades, which is equivalent to giving a green light and ensuring Higashinoji's further education.

But unlike Higashinoji who operated in secret, Konoe Ryoka's best friend Yumi Takahashi burst into tears. She failed two subjects and would have to make up the exam. If she failed to pass the make-up exam, she would have to stay for a year.

Fujiwara Aoi was sarcastic and sarcastic, but when it came time for Takahashi Yumi to need her help with tutoring, although she said "stupid pig" and looked disgusted, she still couldn't stand Takahashi Yumi and agreed.

The place they chose to hold the study meeting was Konoe Lianghua's house.

Higashinoji could usually hear the noise from their side, Konoe Ryoka's panic, Takahashi Yumi's heartless laughter, Fujiwara Aoi's scolding, this noisy atmosphere It all made Higashino feel that this cold winter day was a little more noisy and warm.

It can be said that he has traveled through time for half a year. Except for himself and Chihaya Higashino, the house seems deserted.

In the past six months, Higashinoji didn't make many friends among his classmates, probably just the three of them. It was enough that they could come over and play games with Higashino Chihaya.

Higashinoji is very satisfied with the current situation.

After he finished drawing the manuscript, he would go to the living room from time to time to play games with Higashino Chihaya and the others, especially the game of squirrels moving boxes - he killed many people, including Fujiwara Aoi, Konoe Ryoka and Takahashi. Yumei was poisoned by him.

This also led to the fact that every time Higashinoji appeared, these little girls would snap out the cassette of the two-player game and replace it with another cassette game in which the little savage could throw an axe, eat eggs and ride a flying dragon.

This is a single-player game, so Higashinoji can't interfere.

And in this time of coming and going, Christmas has arrived quietly.

Higashinoji actually didn't care much about what month Christmas was, but since it was a holiday, he naturally prepared gifts.

What is being prepared for Chihaya Higashino is a new console game console - in this era, there are already console game consoles, and there are many games.

Konoe Ryoka's gift was a scarf, while the gifts for Takahashi Yumi and Fujiwara Aoi were limited-edition Sadako peripherals and a new glasses case respectively.

These are gifts he has carefully selected, and they should make Konoe Ryoka and the others happy.

After preparing all these things, Higashino placed the gifts on the table and wanted to sit in the heater he bought at the end of the year.

But before he could stretch his legs, the doorbell rang outside.

This forced Higashinoji, who had just sat down, to stand up and look out the door——

Then he saw Higashino Chihaya wearing a bloated Santa Claus outfit with a look of astonishment on his face.

It's really bloated, and it doesn't have the chest-and-thigh-exposed feeling you usually see in Japanese cartoons.

Her whole body seemed to be wrapped in a red Santa Claus suit. Although there was a beard on her face, the beard was hung crookedly, making her look completely different.

"What are you playing?" Higashino couldn't help but ask the three little girls standing behind Higashino Chihaya.

Konoe Ryoka, Takahashi Yumi, and Fujiwara Aoi were all dressed in Christmas outfits, bloated like big meatballs, and Higashinoji looked at them with bewildered expressions.

Speaking of which, especially Higashino Chihaya, she looked exhausted and shaky, but she still pretended to be angry and gestured awkwardly: "I am Santa Claus, Aji."

"" Dongyesi didn't say anything, just looked at her.

Seeing that Higashinoji didn't believe it at all, Higashino Chihaya suddenly panicked. She jumped up hard and spun around in a circle, for fear that Higashinoji would think she was pretending: "I'm really Santa Claus, Aji, look, look!"

After saying this, she jumped up and down several times.

Then, under the incredulous looks of Higashinoji and Konoe Ryoka, they fell to the ground with a 'snap'.

This fall was really painful, and Touyoshi felt the ground tremble.

Higashino Chihaya couldn't hold it back at all and cried directly.

While she was crying, she whispered incomprehensively: "Asi said before that he likes Santa Claus, so I did this because I thought Asi would be happy."

As he said this, he couldn't figure it out even more. He felt like "the more you take a step back, the more you think about it, the angrier you get, and the more you think about it, the more you lose." I cried even louder.

She pretended to be Santa Claus because she really thought Higashinoji liked him.

As a result, Higashinoji's expression didn't change, but he landed on his butt - it hurt like hell.

Naturally, she was so aggrieved that she cried.
