Tokyo life starting with painting

Chapter 386 What’s the problem (4000 words)

Arisa Nakano’s kindness of four million yen

Looking at the little girl who suddenly knelt down in front of him, Toyoshi was stunned for a moment, and then he had an impression.

Isn't this the Nakano Arisaki?

Higashinoji still remembers pixiv’s first Illustration Award, the gold medal with the theme of ‘Rain’. Isn’t it Nakano Arisa?

The painting "Chrysanthemum and Cat" painted by the other party immediately shot to the top of the list, won the gold reward, and even attracted some P site creators to watch.

The second-ranked author was still dissatisfied and caused some trouble, but Higashinoji issued an announcement to calm it down.

Later, Tonoji also received a private message from Nakano Arisa, who solemnly thanked him, and finally directly stated that he would repay this kindness to him.

At that time, Higashinoji didn't care.

Unexpectedly, Nakano Arisaki actually came directly to her door and said she wanted to repay her kindness.

Tonoji was a little surprised, and he helped the girl with a ponytail in front of him up from the ground, and asked: "You mean you are Miss Nakano Arisaki who won the gold reward on our pixiv website some time ago, right?"

"That's right! It's me!" The girl with a single ponytail puffed out her chest confidently: "How do you think? I'm good, right?"

Well.

Yano Ryuichi next to him looked at the girl with a single ponytail and couldn't help but rub his temples.

This little girl is really overly energetic. Does she really not know the qualifications of Higashinoji in front of her?

Although your painting "Chrysanthemum and Cat" is indeed good, compared with Mr. Higashino, it is still several levels behind.

He wanted to talk about this girl, but before he could say anything, Tonoji had already spoken: "Ms. Nakano, are you still in school or already working?"

"Still in school, I just entered high school this year."

Nakano Arisa answered confidently.

Although Higashinoji didn't know why the other party was so energetic, he couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

This means that Nakano Arisaki in front of me is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and has just graduated from junior high school.

Isn't this age too young?

"Can you show me your student ID card, Miss Nakano?"

Tonoji continued to ask.

"good."

Nakano Arisaki didn't care. He lowered his head and touched his body, took out his student ID card and handed it to Tonoji.

Tonoji took the other party's student ID card and quickly scanned it with his eyes.

I saw Arisa Nakano's name, date of birth, etc. written on it. It was exactly as Higashinoji thought. Arisa Nakano had just turned sixteen this year and was still a freshman in high school.

But these are not the most important.

Because Higashinoji and Yano Ryuichi discovered the most important thing.

"Hokkaido Kikuchi High School?"

Yano Ryu opened his mouth wide and couldn't help but take another look at Nakano Arisaki. His expression could no longer be described as incredible.

"Are you a first-year high school student who came to Tokyo from Hokkaido?"

What is this going to do?

Yano Ryuichi was really incomprehensible.

Students should study honestly.

Running from his hometown in Hokkaido to Higashino Studio in Tokyo? Your mobility is too high, right?

Yano Ryuichi finally couldn't help but turned his head, lowered his voice, and said to Higashinoji: "Teacher Higashino, it's better to contact her guardian. Send her back as soon as possible."

What can a sixteen-year-old girl be used for?

Their Dongye studio does not use child labor to work.

But Yano Ryuichi did not expect that Nakano Arisa actually heard what he said, and his expression immediately changed:

"No! I'm not going back! I'm here to repay a favor! It's a shameful act not to repay a favor! As the eldest daughter of the Nakano family, I can't just go back in despair."

She shook her head: "I won't cause trouble to Dongye Studio. I will go and set up a tent under the nearby bridge and just sleep there at night!"

"Well"

Yano Ryuichi was speechless for a while.

This little girl's brain circuit is really amazing.

Next to him, Higashinoji, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.

"Ms. Nakano, I don't plan to ask more about the specific situation, but if you just come from your hometown in Hokkaido, won't your family be worried?"

"No problem, I told my brother when I left and asked him to take care of grandma!"

Nakano Arisa replied with a serious expression.

"Excuse me, Miss Nakano, how old is your brother now?"

"He's already thirteen, he's already a man."

When mentioning his younger brother, Nakano Arisaki showed a particularly proud expression.

Next to him, Yano Ryuichi was speechless.

Thirteen years old, isn't this when you just entered junior high school?

Co-author: You siblings are just about to enter the next grade, right?

This is too childish.

Yano Ryuichi here was speechless.

Although the other party's age is almost the same as when Higashinoji became famous.

But Yano Ryuichi doesn't believe that just finding a girl can be as famous as Higashinoji is now.

He didn't believe that Higashinoji would accompany the little girl in front of him to fool around.

Just when Yano Ryuichi was about to ask for the phone number of the other party's guardian.

Higashinoji on the other side smiled and said something that shocked Ryuichi Yano:

"Ms. Nakano, you said you wanted to repay your kindness. You probably want to stay and work in Higashino Studio, right? But wanting to stay in Higashino Studio is not a simple matter of just talking."

Higashinoji's expression was serious and he didn't seem to be joking.

This made Yano Ryuichi's face full of astonishment.

no

Mr. Higashino, do you really want to give her a chance to stay in Higashino Studio?

"Sure enough, there is an exam?! But no problem!" Nakano Arisa rolled up his sleeves and looked confident: "Do you want me to repay the favor with you? Or do you want me to do other work? I can do anything!"

Good guy.

All the meat has come.

Moreover, this guy was not shy at all when he said the word "meat compensation", which made Touyoshi couldn't help but shake his head, not understanding the other party's out-of-the-box way of thinking.

However, in order to avoid misunderstanding, he still added: "The content of the exam. Just draw something and I will see how the quality is."

"Is it that simple?"

Nakano Yusaki blinked his big eyes that seemed to be shining: "Don't you really need to pay with your body?"

"Need not."

While Higashino answered, he was thinking about why this girl paid so much attention to sex.

"Okay! Don't be scared by me, Mr. Dongye, I'm very good at drawing."

Nakano Arisa smiled confidently.

Seeing her like this, Touyoshi nodded.

He had seen Nakano Arisa's painting "Chrysanthemum and Cat".

The girl in the rainy night looks like the color combination can pull people into the world in the painting.

I feel like I wouldn’t be able to draw without seven or eight years of painting skills.

However, Nakano Arisaki's next sentence perfectly broke Higashinoji's imagination: "I have been learning painting for half a year, so I can be considered a veteran!"

"."

Higashinoji did not express his position.

Next to him, Yano Ryuichi couldn't hold it in any longer.

Learn to draw for half a year?

Who in Dongye Studio has not studied painting for more than ten years, seven or eight years?

They all call themselves newcomers. How come they are already considered veterans after learning painting from you for half a year?

However, Tonoji apparently didn't pay much attention to her overconfident attitude. He just took out the painting tools he used and handed them to Nakano Arisa.

He just watched Nakano Arisa draw one stroke at a time.

Next to him, Yano Ryuichi took advantage of Nakano Arisa's painting break and pulled Higashino aside: "Teacher Higashino, do you really want her to stay?"

His expression and voice were low, as he felt the need to tell what impact taking in this girl would have on Tono Studio.

result

"I don't have that idea."

Tonoji replied with a smile.

"Well, Mr. Dongye, what are you still doing?"

Then you still review her?

Yano Ryuichi's words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them for a long time.

It was Higashino who added: "I am reviewing her just to delay the process. Yano-san, please take this student ID card and contact Kikuchi High School first, and then contact her family."

Higashinoji said this with a smile on his face, which made Yano Ryuichi cough several times.

He really didn't expect Toyesi to be fooling this little girl.

You must know that Higashinoji started the review with a serious face just now.

He thought that the other party was really interested in accepting him.

I have to say that Higashinoji's disguise is so strong that his expression doesn't change even when he fools people.

but

Yano Ryuichi decisively took the student ID card handed over by Higashinoji.

It is true that Nakano Arisaki cannot be allowed to stay here forever, she still has to contact her family.

Higashino watched Yano Ryuichi leave, and then looked at the drawing paper in front of Nakano Arisa.

The lines she drew were very natural and her movements were very skillful. She didn't look like she had only learned to draw for half a year.

While waiting for her to finish the painting.

Only then did Higashinoji ask something he had always been curious about: "Ms. Nakano, you said before that you wanted to repay your kindness, right?"

"Yes." Nakano Yusaki nodded and continued to paint.

"It's just that I thought about it and it seems that I didn't do anything for you to repay your kindness, right? If you came here for the four million yen, then there is no need. You have already sent a thank you message on the p station private message. Plus That was originally the bonus you won by relying on your strength."

yes.

Nakano Arisa won the gold reward through his skills, so there was no need to travel all the way from Hokkaido to Tokyo.

He even expressed his intention to repay Toyoshi physically.

This is completely unnecessary.

But it was obvious that Nakano Arisaki didn't think so.

"That's different, Teacher Dongye, you are indeed my benefactor."

The voice that was lively, cheerful and confident just now completely dropped.

There seems to be a hidden secret here.

A trace of curiosity was aroused in Higashinoji's heart: "Is there any special situation?"

"It can't be considered a special situation. Hey, it just happened! I've finished the painting!"

Nakano Arisa interrupted the topic and handed the drawing paper in his hand to Higashinoji.

Higashinoji also raised his eyebrows.

This painting is too fast.

But forget it, I originally wanted to see the other person’s painting skills. Even if it’s just an ordinary black and white sketch, I can tell something about it.

"Then let me take a look." Higashinoji nodded with a smile and took the sketch he had just drawn from the other person's hand.

have to say.

Although Nakano Arisa had a loud tone before, it was said that it surprised Tonoji.

But she does have a talent for painting.

Just looking at the simple black and white painting in his hand, Higashino felt a strong sense of personal style.

Both the pen and the lines are very distinctive.

The lines are very strong, especially the folded corners of the character's outline above.

This gave Higashinoji an inexplicable toughness like a pen drawing.

It's hard to imagine that a girl can have such a style of painting.

And what Higashinoji finds most commendable is that Arisa Nakano has a strong personal style.

This painting is similar in form to her "Chrysanthemum and Cat".

It looks rough at first glance, but when you look carefully, you will find that the overall and even the finer lines are very delicate.

"It's indeed very good." Higashino nodded.

Similar to Nakano Arisa's previous "Chrysanthemum and Cat", this painting would definitely be a good finished product if it were colored.

To be honest, it is really hard for Higashinoji to imagine that Nakano Arisa only studied painting for half a year.

So he simply asked again:

"Ms. Nakano, have you really only studied painting for half a year?"

"Yes. I was selling paintings at a stall in Hokkaido."

"Selling paintings at a stall?"

Listening to Nakano Arisaki's words, Tonoji couldn't help but look at him one more time.

Nakano Arisa seems like someone who can do that kind of thing.

But you can't laugh at the other person either.

When Higashino's parents passed away and Chihaya Higashino suffered from a mental disorder, he also set up a painting stall at Shibuya Station in Tokyo for a long time.

At that time, the statue of Hachiko, the loyal dog, did stay with him for a long time.

It's just that I was doing it to support my family.

Tonoji looked up and down at Inno Arisaki.

Is it possible that this little girl sets up a stall and sells paintings to support her family?

Just as Higashinoji was thinking about it.

On the other side, Nakano Arisaki couldn't wait any longer.

Didn't she come all the way from her hometown in Hokkaido to Tokyo just to get Higashinoji's approval?

It would be best if the other party could keep me working here.

"Teacher Higashino, what do you think? Good or bad?"

Nakano Arisa couldn't help but urged.

"Well it's not bad."

Tonoji looked at Nogano Arisaki's paintings twice more and gave an evaluation.

Even though Nakano Arisa was going to be sent back to Hokkaido, he couldn't say any unkind words.

Good is good and bad is bad.

Higashinoji doesn't want to confuse right and wrong.

This is considered to be recognized by Higashinoji.

Nakano Yusaki suddenly became energetic, and his eyes suddenly ‘lit up’ just like what was written in the novel:

"Then Mr. Tono, can I stay in Toyo Studio?"

"cannot."

She asked quickly, but Tonoji answered even faster.

This made Nakano Arisa make an incomprehensible voice: "Hey? Why?"

yes?

Why? Why?

Aren't I very good at painting?

Why don't you agree?

She couldn't understand.

But on the other side, Higashinoji gave a simple answer: "Of course there is something wrong with your painting, Miss Nakano."

"Is there something wrong with my painting?"

After hearing this, Nakano Arisa felt a little unconvinced for some reason.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with her painting.
