Tokyo life starting with painting

Seo Shizuru didn't take a long bath.

But when she came out of the bathroom, she couldn't help but rub her eyes at the scene in front of her. She looked as if she had been in the bath for a century and the scene outside had changed.

It is indeed a big change.

She looked at the manga magazine "Heshi" and the single volume of "Naoki Hansawa" piled up in front of her father, and her expression was a bit incredulous.

What are you doing?

Just now, I was saying that Higashinoji's "Naoki Hansawa" was not good-looking. Why did I go and take a shower when all Higashinoji's comics were piled up outside?

what's the situation?

Seo Shizuru looked at him in disbelief.

But she didn't bother her father. After all, he looked serious. Maybe he was studying "Naoki Hansawa"?

Although she has always felt that her father's hard work "Chiyo" is not as good as "Heshi", this does not mean that she really wants her father to be suppressed by "Heshi" for the rest of his life.

She quietly put away the dishes and then returned to her room without making any sound.

Although there was no movement at all

"Isn't this taking it too seriously?"

Seo Shizuru thought about how his father didn't even look at him, with a sullen expression on his face, looking through comics.

"It really smells like Naoki Hansawa."

Seo Shizuru muttered.

But at best, he looks more like his father when he has a sullen face.

She didn't think that her father would suddenly jump up and run to her room and say: 'I may have to resign, Jingliu. ’

"I still don't think about this anymore."

Seo Shizuru stretched, yawned, and was about to lie down on the bed.

Then--

Bang!

The door to the room was pushed open.

At the same time, Seo Daigo, who was a little excited, rushed in.

He looked at Seo Shizuru who rolled up from the bed with a confused face, and then suddenly said: "I may have to resign! Shizuru!"

"ah?"

Seo Shizuru, who was originally confused, couldn't turn around after hearing these words.

When she fully reacted, she finally let out a surprised sigh: "Huh?"

And... was she really guessed?

No, what is going on?

Seo Shizuru subconsciously asked: "Dad, are you drinking today?"

Even if you say he wasn't drunk, Seo Shizuru wouldn't believe it.

Facing his daughter's expression, Seo Daigo finally came to his senses and explained helplessly.

Among them are the reasons why he said, "I'm leaving my job."

".So that's it. "Chiyo" is not strong enough to beat "Heshi", so Dad, you are pushed out to take the blame?"

After listening to what the other party said, Seo Shizuru finally figured out the whole story.

Fortunately, at least my dad didn't suddenly jump out and make such an impulsive statement because he watched "Naoki Hansawa".

Thinking of this, Seo Shizuru couldn't help but said: "I just thought, dad, that you watched "Hanzawa Naoki", so you suddenly wanted to quit your job on a whim. I see that there are many people on the Internet who are watching "Hanzawa Naoki". Naoki Sawa》Like this.”

After hearing Seo Shizuru's words, Seo Daigo couldn't help but coughed a few times, and said in a nagging tone: "How is that possible? I am the editor-in-chief of a publishing house after all, so I can't be so impulsive."

He felt guilty when he said this.

Similarly, it was only at this time that he felt the magic of "Naoki Hansawa".

He had just been reading the manga "Hanzawa Naoki", and he felt a little emotional as he looked at it.

When he saw Naoki Hansawa trying to recover a 500 million loan but was maliciously blocked by his boss, the branch manager Asano, he really felt the same way - it was so difficult!

His current situation is like that of Naoki Hansawa.

He tried hard to win "Heshi" externally, but within the publishing house, there were still a few people who were eyeing his position, and some were even waiting for him to give up his position.

Isn't this the same as Naoki Hansawa?

In particular, his position as editor-in-chief is similar to that of Naoki Hansawa.

In the manga, Naoki Hansawa's bank position is the head of the financing section. This is an embarrassing position in the bank, with the person in charge being the branch president Asano above and a group of subordinates below. He is just an intermediary. management, and his position as editor-in-chief is actually similar. He has to deal with directors above and editors below

Thinking of this, Seo Daigo felt more involved.

He couldn't stop at all. After reading the chapter "Hansawa Naoki", he dug out the previous issues of "Wayo" comic magazine from his room. These magazines were all bought by him before, mainly for research. "Naoki Hansawa", but the feeling at that time and the feeling of empathy now are obviously different.

Seo Daigo just kept reading until he had finished all the contents of the "Hansawa Naoki" series.

After reading it, he had only one thought in his mind.

“There’s a reason why you can’t beat Naoki Hansawa.”

Because even he, the editor-in-chief of a hostile magazine, was completely obsessed with it and wanted to read the next chapter quickly.

Taking advantage of this momentum, Seo Daigo went directly to his daughter's room and told her directly about his resignation.

But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Seo Daigo felt a little regretful.

Telling your daughter about your resignation will probably only make her feel uneasy.

But what surprised Seo Daigo was that after hearing his heartfelt words, Seo Shizuru just nodded calmly: "I understand."

She just said "I know" without any uneasiness or nervousness.

This expression made Seo Daigo ask involuntarily: "Shizuru, do you have no other ideas?"

"Ah? What else can I think of?"

Seo Shizuru couldn't help scratching his head: "I don't understand this. But I think it's okay to do it in the way that makes you happy, dad. Since you can't work at Iwazhu Publishing House, then should you consider going? Tomishima Publishing House?”

After she said this, she raised her hand cheerfully: "After you went to Tomishima Publishing House, you also asked me for Mr. Higashino's autograph. It's perfect!"

Seo Daigo was speechless when he heard what his daughter said - Okay! Things that I have been hesitating and thinking about, this rebellious girl of my family just took care of it.

He was even asked to apply for a job at the enemy's publishing house.

This is too optimistic.

but

Seeing his daughter's smiling expression, Seo Daigo's worries about what he should do after resigning suddenly disappeared.

maybe.

If you can’t stay at Iwazuki Publishing House, then give Tomishima Publishing House a try.

I don’t seek the position of editor-in-chief, as long as I can successfully raise my daughter.

As for the signature of Higashinoji, his bitter enemy.

Seo Daigo shook his head helplessly.

If my little cotton-padded jacket really liked Higashinoji so much, he would have to show shame and ask him for an autograph or two.

By the way, you can also keep one for your collection.

Higashinoji has indeed had a very fulfilling life these days.

The basic life is to draw comics, rehearse, continue to draw comics, and check from time to time whether his dear "Editor-in-Chief Seo" has resigned and whether he has the opportunity to poach.

This day was indeed very fulfilling.

That is to say, day after day, the day when Hong and Bai Ge will join forces is gradually approaching.

To this end, Higashinoji made a special trip to visit the families of Aoi Fujiwara and Yumi Takahashi, and directly told them about inviting them to watch the Kohaku Uta Battle at the NHK studio on New Year's Eve.

The two families certainly had no reason to refuse.

Among them, Aoi Fujiwara's mother, Koko Fujiwara, happily held Higashinoji's hand and thanked him repeatedly, looking quite excited.

The other party's excited expression made Toyoji a little confused.

He felt that Fujiwara Aoi, who was quiet by nature, was not like her mother at all. On the contrary, Fujiwara Aoi's good friend Yumi Takahashi was more in tune with her mother.

Coincidentally, Takahashi Yumi's mother Takahashi Ami has a gentle face and always looks quiet. Compared to the lively and active Takahashi Yumi, she is more like Fujiwara Aoi's mother.

Could it be that the daughters of two families were exchanged and raised? The personalities of the daughters on both sides are not very similar to their own.

But Higashinoji didn't say these words.

He waited for the parents of both families to go back and do their own things before he couldn't help but say: "Yumi, your personality is completely different from your mother's."

"Hehehe, everyone who has met my mother said so."

In response to Higashinoji's question, Takahashi Yumi laughed happily: "Aoi is actually the same. People often say that her personality is not like Aunt Xiangzi's."

"Maybe it has something to do with the way you were raised." Fujiwara Aoi next to her added, "I often went to Yumi's house when I was a child. I got some influence from Aunt Xiangzi."

Is this just some influence?

Higashinoji was a little speechless, but he didn't ask further questions.

But just because he didn't ask, it didn't mean that Yumi Takahashi on the other side didn't complain.

She looked at her mother who was preparing tea for Higashinoji to drink, and couldn't help but said: "Maybe Mr. Higashino, you don't know, my mother often said in the past, 'Look at Aoi next door, look at you again, there is nothing at all. Any girl'."

"But since meeting you, Mr. Higashino, my mother has changed her story and said, 'Yumi, why can't you learn from Mr. Higashino in your class? He is in the newspapers and news at a young age, why do you Can’t you come back with a kendo national championship?’.”

Takahashi Yumi touched her head as she spoke.

If it was really that easy to win the national championship, she would have already been it!

Comparing her with Higashinoji is even more outrageous!

Your daughter is just an earthling, you can't compare her with aliens.

Regarding Takahashi Yumi's complaint, Tonoji just laughed happily and didn't comment much.

After all, "the kid next door" is a common phrase used by parents all over the world, and even Japan is not exempt from it.

Aoi Fujiwara, who was on the other side, had obviously been holding back for a while. She followed Yumi Takahashi's words and continued: "My mother is actually about the same as Higashino-san. You saw her jumping out of control just now, and now she is still here." You instigated me to be your girlfriend, and also said things like, 'As long as you catch a golden turtle husband, Akui, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life.'"

Fujiwara Aoi couldn't help but cover her head as she spoke.

Her father naturally told Fujiwara Aoi's mother, Fujiwara Xiangzi, about this matter.

As a result, Fujiwara Koko said, "Your annual income is not as good as Higashino-kun. If I were in that era, I would definitely choose Higashino-kun." ’ So he came back with a fight.

Although he knew that his wife was thinking outside the box, and she probably just wanted to refute him when she said this, he didn't expect that his wife would be so outside the box.

Fujiwara Aoi still remembers her father's expression at that time. He was half lying on the sofa, his eyes were dull, and he was depressed for a long time.

"Ahem. Has this happened before?"

Higashikata couldn't help coughing several times.

He didn't expect that he would unintentionally affect Aoi Fujiwara's 'family harmony'.

But when Fujiwara Aoi said it at this time, most of it was probably just a joke, and Higashinoji certainly didn't pay too much attention.

He took the tea from Takahashi Yumi's mother and drank it. He smiled and talked for a while, and after agreeing on a time to go to the NHK studio, he left under the farewell of Takahashi and Fujiwara's family.

I have to say that with a reputation as a Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award, a comic book author, and a semi-professional painter, it is easy to talk to anyone wherever I go.

In Japan, people generally admire such independent creators.

"The matter between Yumi and Aoi has been settled." Tonoji touched his chin and muttered.

The rehearsals these days have gone pretty well. Half of the reason why the song "Don't Give Up" was so popular in Japan in the past life is because it is catchy.

I also found an opportunity to send Christmas gifts a few days ago, and Konoe Ryoka was also very happy.

So logically speaking, Higashinoji's career should be considered smooth sailing now, and he should be happy in both love and work.

But

But Higashino always felt that he had forgotten something.

Something important was missed.

And this is not something that can be easily fooled.

"What on earth is going on?"

After getting off the train, Higashinoji walked toward his home while thinking.

Chihaya Kumamoto's interview has also been done and it is going smoothly, so Higashinoji doesn't need to worry about it.

Needless to say, Yano Ryuichi has gradually taken care of the illustration exchange website.

So what else should you care about?

Higashinoji took the elevator and went directly to the floor of his apartment.

Then

He saw Konoe Tsushima standing in front of his house with a murderous look on his face.

And the moment he saw Konoe Tsushima, Higashinoji finally remembered.

My father-in-law.

It seems that it has been abandoned by myself outside of my memory.

The most important thing is

Why did he come to Tokyo?

Does the Konoe family care about it?

As if feeling Higashinoji's gaze, Konoe Tsushima suddenly turned his head.

Just in time to meet Higashinoji's eyes.

atmosphere

Solemn.
