Tokyo life starting with painting

Konoe Ryoka looked very guilty. From time to time she pinched her chin, touched her hair, and secretly glanced at Higashinoji, as if to confirm whether he was observing her.

This look made Touyoshi a little bit unable to bear it.

He originally didn't pay much attention to Konoe Ryoka, but this guy's deceptive behavior made him turn around and ask directly: "Ryuka, what's the matter with you?"

"Huh? No, no! I don't want to do anything! I'm just the hot one."

It's hot?

I remember correctly that today's temperature should be over ten degrees. It doesn't matter how cold the weather is, but it shouldn't make people feel hot, right?

Even Higashino Chihaya next to him chuckled: "Isn't it quite cold today? Lianghua, you are so strange."

"Haha, cough, cough." Konoe Ryoka sheepishly squeezed her legs together, and finally stood up a little nervously, stammering, "Sorry, I want to go to the toilet."

Watching Konoe Ryoka leave, Higashinoji also turned his head, smiled and said to Higashino Chihaya: "I also want to go to the toilet, Chihaya-san, please wait for a moment, okay?"

Higashikata left not long ago and came back soon.

About two minutes after Higashinoji came back, Konoe Ryoka came back again, feeling very embarrassed: "I'm sorry, it took a long time to go to the toilet. There are people in front of me."

"It's okay, I'm celebrating Asi anyway." Chihaya Higashino smiled cheerfully, but soon she seemed to have thought of something, and sighed and looked at her piggy bank.

The little piggy is heavy now and looks bulging, but it will deflate later.

She ordered a lot of things, and by rough calculation, it should cost 10,000 to 20,000 yen.

Very expensive.

But this was a celebration for Higashinoji, so Higashino Chihaya had no intention of being stingy at all, and she ordered a table full of dishes.

She sighed long and short, and suddenly heard the voice of congratulations: "Congratulations to you, customer."

When Chihaya Higashino heard this voice, her face was in a daze. She raised her head halfway and found that the waiter of the "black shop" was standing next to her.

The other party held the dish she ordered and said with a smile: "You are the 5,000th customer since the establishment of our store. After discussion with our store, you will enjoy free orders for all your purchases in our store today. I wish you a pleasant meal."

"Huh? Free of charge?"

Higashino Chihaya didn't quite understand what this word meant for a while, but Konoe Ryoka next to her hurriedly explained: "It means everything is free."

As soon as she heard it was free, Chihaya Higashino widened her beautiful peach blossom eyes: "Really?"

I didn’t expect that this illegal store, which is a conscience store, actually has such a service?

"Yes, congratulations, please enjoy the free bill." The waiter bowed and served all the dishes before leaving with a smile on his face.

Chihaya Higashino looked at the table full of food in a daze.

like

No need for the piggy bank all of a sudden?

Did you keep the money in the piggy bank?

She immediately became interested and ordered three more desserts.

She didn't go too far, she just added three more desserts and happily enjoyed this free dinner from heaven.

Seeing Higashino Chihaya's happy look, Konoe Ryoka was also happy for her, and even clapped her hands gently and sang a blessing song - her voice was very low, and she didn't dare to be too loud to disturb the people around her.

This meal took more than two hours in total.

It wasn't until the three of them were about to leave the store that Konoe Ryoka raised her hand: "Well, maybe I drank a little too much. I also want to go to the toilet. Otherwise, Aji, you guys go back first?"

"No, the three of us came here together, so of course we have to leave together. We will wait for you outside the door." Chihaya Higashino said and pulled Higashinoji to the door.

Higashinoji didn't say anything, he just smiled and followed Higashino Chihaya to the door.

After almost a minute, Konoe Ryoka walked out of the fast food restaurant, and then shrank her neck: "It's a bit cold."

"Yeah, I said it's a bit cold, but you still say it's hot, Ryoka." Chihaya Higashino took off her woolen shawl, carefully put it on Konoe Ryoka, and said seriously with her little face raised. : "This way it won't be cold anymore."

Konoe Ryoka's pretty snow-white face turned red in an instant. She nodded gently and said thank you, and then looked at Higashinoji on the other side with a sly look.

Higashinoji next to her just stretched out his hand, pinched her soft cheek, then lowered his voice and said in a voice that only Konoe Ryoka could hear: "Thank you, Ryoka."

Konoe Ryoka raised her head when she heard this, and her face, which was already red due to her guilty conscience, felt like she had no place to hide.

Chihaya Higashino looked at her like this, indicating that Konoe Ryoka was indeed capable of magic. Otherwise, how could her face be normal one second and as red as a monkey's butt the next?

This is obviously unscientific.

As for why Higashinoji wants to thank Konoe Ryoka.

That's because Tonoji didn't go to the toilet before, but went to the counter.

Then he heard Konoe Ryoka's soft request: "Is it really not possible? The store manager and I are acquaintances, he just needs to do a small favor, and I will pay for it, so five thousand customers are free." This excuse shouldn’t matter, right?”

"It's not that we don't help customers. This is a bit against the rules of our store. I can't make the decision privately and I hope you can communicate with the owner." The waiter was a little embarrassed.

"Okay." Konoe Ryoka took a deep breath and stammered: "I, let me tell you."

She herself has some problems with social barriers. Although she is actively working hard to change her image for Tonoji, she is not at the point where she can naturally smile and talk to strangers.

But even so, she still continued to talk to the complete stranger in a low voice.

Higashinoji heard basically all the content of the conversation at that time. Konoe Ryoka was stammering, but still mustered up the courage to ask for help, which moved Higashinoji a little.

He is really lucky that his girlfriend is willing to do things for him to this extent.

If it were to be seen in later generations - when the female boxers on Weibo started to develop, Higashinoji would have been hoisted up by the female boxers and hammered with combination punches.

And Konoe Ryoka obviously knew that she had been exposed, so of course she was a little embarrassed.

The number of times she lied was very rare, but it was natural that she was embarrassed when Higashino found out on these few times.

Konoe Ryoka took the initiative to hold Higashinoji with her snow-white palms and said, "Stop talking and leave quickly, Aji."

"Okay." Higashinoji smiled and touched her head, and then held Higashino Chihaya in hand.

The three of them walked towards home together.

It’s different from Higashinoji’s life.

It can be said that Hasegawa Riko's life has completely changed.

It can also be said that Higashinoji is a celebrity. It is normal for many people to ask him to draw comics and scripts.

As for Hasegawa Riko, she really has the feeling of becoming famous all over the world after ten years of hard work and no one asked her.

There were as many audition invitations as snowflakes, and various voice actor agencies took the initiative to send invitations. She became famous overnight.

It was the first time since she was born that she could choose her own dubbing animations, and even Japanese dubbing of some famous movies.

Even well-known voice actors are basically unlikely to have such VIP membership level treatment.

Faced with this situation, Hasegawa Lizi did not become dizzy. She positioned herself very accurately.

She understood that most of the invitations from agencies and movie audition invitations were focused on the popularity of "The Ring".

If the popularity of "The Ring" dissipates, these opportunities will disappear like a cloud.

Just like her sukiyaki shop.

I don’t know if it was the relative’s employee who came up with the bad idea, but even made a special trip to her sukiyaki shop to launch a ‘Midnight Bell’ Reiko Asakawa Pork Sukiyaki Special Set Meal’.

I really don’t know if this guy wants to sell sukiyaki or Reiko Asakawa’s meat.

But don't say that

A lot of people really bought it.

The sales volume kept rising, and even Hasegawa Riko herself was stunned - is there such a way to make money?

To be honest, she still sees less of it.

Sharp TV even brought out the same TV and video recorder as "The Ring" - and spent a lot of money to buy the endorsement rights with Higashinoji.

But there was no problem with the quality, so Tonoji didn’t say anything about it.

At the same time, Hasegawa Riko's dubbing of Asakawa Reiko in "The Ring" also conquered countless moviegoers, and many people began to search for information about her online.

So there was another storm.

Is Riko Hasegawa an outcast from AKB Voice Actor Agency? And I heard that he particularly likes to act like a big name? Not dubbing a supporting role?

As soon as this incident came out, various rumors suddenly appeared on the Internet.

The feared thing happened.

This is considered a hidden danger left behind.

Everyone is busy celebrating the success, but they have forgotten that Hasegawa Reiko, the voice actress of Asakawa Reiko, has this dark history.

On the same day, the production team of "Midnight Ring" gathered urgently and prepared to find some public relations means to calm down the storm.

To be honest, it is not difficult to calm down the storm.

After all, the AKB agency can definitely not beat the industry leader like Tokyo Animation Production Company, let alone the investor of "Midnight Ring" this time is Sharp TV

That's a real capitalist.

As the saying goes, as long as you have money, you can really do whatever you want - and in Japan, this difference is even more magnified.

If Sharp Electronics is really upset, this AKB office will disappear from the world.

Even when Tonoji was waiting for capital to take action to calm down the storm, something surprising happened to him——

"Are you saying that you wanted to apologize to Ms. Hasegawa and admit your mistake, so you found me?"

Looking at the two middle-aged men in front of him who were bowing in unison, Higashinoji, who was on the May Day Golden Week holiday, asked with a strange expression.

He really didn't expect it.

Before he even made a move, the other party had already surrendered.

But if you think about it carefully, this is quite normal.

Only people with mental problems would really think about going head-to-head with Sharp Electronics Co., Ltd.

For such a high-level capitalist, as long as you pay, someone will sink your body in Tokyo Bay. You will definitely die silently and disappear from the world.

It can be seen that the two people in front of me know each other quite well.

but

"Why did you come to me?" Higashino asked after letting Chihaya enter the room to play for a while.

yes.

Even if you want to apologize, you should go to Hasegawa Riko. Why did she find it on your head?

"Well, we heard that Miss Hasegawa seems to have a close relationship with you, Mr. Higashino."

The president of AKB Office wiped the sweat from his face and said with a smile on his face.

He actually didn't want to bow to Higashinoji.

But there is no way. Due to the pressure behind him, he still has to bow his head when he should.

Otherwise, Sharp would crush them to death in the end, and even if Tokyo Animation Production Company fought with them, they wouldn't be able to bear it.

As long as Tokyo Animation Production Company makes a name for itself in the industry, it is basically impossible for all the voice actors under AKB Studio to receive decent roles in the industry.

After all, they are just a small firm, who cares?

No one wants to offend Tokyo Animation Production Company for them.

To put it bluntly, their current situation is even more severe than that of Hasegawa Riko.

The voice actor who was kicked out in the past is now flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix. There is also a passionate manga author like Higashino Tsukasa who supports her. Her value is far beyond estimating. It really feels like the return of a son-in-law.

"Did you hear that she has a close relationship with me?" Higashino couldn't help but frowned when he heard the rumor.

This is probably coming from the production team of "Midnight Ring", right?

Either it was Matsuda Masao, the voice actor of Ryuji Takayama, or some of the staff in charge of painting.

After all, it was Higashinoji who brought Hasegawa Riko to audition.

"Yes, so can you ask Mr. Higashino to help? We come here with sincerity."

The president of AKB Office lowered his head and said in a very low-key manner: "I hope Mr. Higashino can help and make Ms. Hasegawa forgive us."

"Before that, I hope your company can immediately come forward to clarify the rumors on the Internet." Higashinoji made the request.

If the rumors persist, this will inevitably affect the reputation of "The Ring".

Whether they help or not is just secondary - as long as Hasegawa Riko is willing to forgive them, it has nothing to do with Higashinoji.

"We know this. We have asked people to organize a clarification announcement today. We should have news this afternoon."

The man who looked like a secretary next to him rubbed his hands and continued: "So, can you please ask Teacher Higashino to help me say a few words?"

"It's not about my attitude, it's about Ms. Hasegawa's attitude."

Higashinoji shook his head, but still said calmly: "I can contact Miss Hasegawa. If she is willing to meet you two, then it is her business."

"We understand."

The president of AKB Office nodded repeatedly.

The look of him nodding and bending down, willing to fight or suffer, made Touyoshi speechless for a while——

Sure enough, the power of money is infinite.
