Tokyo life starting with painting

After seeing Konoe Ryoka's mood stabilized, Higashinoji gave her a few words of advice.

Most of the content was to ask her to buy some anti-swelling medicine to avoid leaving the redness and swelling until tomorrow.

Konoe Ryoka nodded slightly and opened her mouth before leaving: "Goodbye Higashino-san."

Higashinoji was used to the awkward character of the other party who got stuck in the middle of his words. He waved his hand and said, "Well, I won't be able to see Konoe-san tomorrow."

"Ah?" Konoe Ryoka raised her head.

"You are really pretty. You can actually keep your bangs a little shorter and cover your eyebrows a little." Higashinoji gave his suggestion with a smile.

"Really?" Konoe Ryoka's face turned slightly red upon hearing this. The fingers of her right hand unconsciously curled the hair beside her ear, and hesitantly replied: "I, I'll give it a try."

She bowed to Higashinoji again before leaving.

After watching the other party completely disappear into the park, Higashino took out his phone and glanced at the time on it.

He didn't waste much time. It was only around five o'clock now, so he had enough time to go to Urashima Publishing House.

Higashino opened his shoulder bag and checked the original manuscript of "The Lonely Gourmet" inside.

Fortunately, the originals were stored well and there were no signs of tampering.

Higashinoji felt relieved and trotted towards the station.

After changing trains and stations, Higashinoji quickly arrived at Chiyoda District and walked to Urashima Publishing House.

"Brother Higashino, are you here to hand in the manuscript again?" Ms. Uzaki, who was in charge of reception, greeted Higashinoki warmly as soon as she saw him.

"I handed in the manuscript just by the way. I mainly came to see Sister Uzaki." Higashinoji replied with a smile, and then asked: "Then I can go up like this, should it be okay?"

Ms. Uzaki was coaxed by Higashinoji to smile cheerfully, and waved her hand: "Come up, you are already an acquaintance, there is no need to register as a tourist."

Higashino thanked him and then got on the elevator.

It’s still the familiar editorial department. The only difference is that there is a beautiful poster of “Midnight Bell” on the comic wall, with the words “Midnight Bell, the work of Mr. Higashino, currently being serialized” written on it.

This color poster was drawn by Higashinoji who took the time to draw it. It will be used in the stand-alone books after "The Ring", which is a small benefit for readers who buy the stand-alone books.

The Sadako above is not only not scary, but also looks like a Q version with thick hands, thick legs and a big head. She climbed out of the TV and opened her mouth to the TV, looking cute with her teeth and claws.

"It feels pretty good." Higashino nodded with satisfaction, and after appreciating his work twice more, he hurriedly walked into the "Abominable Cold" editorial office.

Hosokawa Koharu himself didn't even know how he spent the past half month.

While I was waiting for the news from Higashinoji with great anticipation, I was also worried that the content Higashinoji drew was not interesting enough and would be rejected by Chief Editor Urashima and other editors.

This is a very complicated mood, so even if she adds new books, "The Ring" has always been ranked first among readers in terms of positive reviews, it still cannot calm down this feeling of worry and expectation.

And as time passes day by day, the self-confidence that I had with Higashinoji at the beginning of "I want to be the best in Japan" has gradually been worn away.

This is like a child's second grade disease. At first, I thought he was quite handsome, but later I felt that my behavior was too bad, and I couldn't stand it anymore.

And the most important thing is that there is really no news at all from Higashinoji.

"What will happen? Will Mr. Higashino really be unable to produce good works?" Hosokawa Koharu bit her thumb and muttered worriedly.

In fact, Higashinoji is already very good. "Midnight Ring" has always been ranked first among readers, and the number of readers is getting higher and higher.

Is it a bit difficult for him to ask him to create a brand new comic again?

Hosokawa Koharu took a deep breath and finally made a decision.

There has been no news from Higashinoji, so I will ask him myself.

Don't be excited, be calm. If Higashinoji can't produce results, you should also fulfill your responsibility as editor to comfort the other party. At worst, you won't need the front page of "Aoba", as long as Higashinoji can stabilize his mentality.

Hosokawa Koharu was thinking a lot, but without stopping, he directly dialed Higashinoji's number.

After the call was made, Hosokawa Koharu directly revealed his identity: "Hello? Is this Teacher Higashino? I'm Hosokawa."

"It's me." Higashinoji's tone on the other side of the phone was a little subtle: "Why are you calling me at this time? Editor Hosokawa?"

He was already outside the editorial department and was just about to push the door in when he received a call from Hosokawa Koharu, which made him feel a little weird.

The timing is too good, right?

But the weird sound in his voice sounded like Hosokawa Koharu didn't mean it.

She felt that Higashikata hadn't produced any results in about half a month, so she felt inexplicably guilty when she called her.

Thinking of this, Hosokawa Koharu finally couldn't help but comfort him:

"Teacher Higashikata, actually, even if you don't produce results, you don't have to feel guilty."

Hosokawa Koharu comforted Higashinoji: "Actually, it doesn't matter even if we can't get on the front page this time. The results of "Midnight Ring" are enough to shut up anyone. The worst we can do next time."

"Wait a minute, Editor Hosokawa." Higashinoji looked puzzled when he heard this: "Why can't I produce results?"

Why did Hosokawa Koharu suddenly start feeding him chicken soup?

"Huh?" After hearing Higashinoji's question, Hosokawa Koharu, who had prepared a large vat of chicken soup for the soul, was stunned. She argued loudly: "Because Mr. Higashino, your voice when you answered the phone just now was not quite right. I I thought you were feeling guilty"

"The sound of answering the phone? Oh, you mean that." Tonoji suddenly realized: "I just walked to the editorial department, and then you called me. I think the timing is a bit coincidental, so the sound is a bit strange of."

"Are you already at the door?" Hosokawa Koharu stood up with the microphone and looked towards the door.

Really, Higashinoji was standing next to the editorial department at this moment, with a helpless smile on his face outside the glass door.

Hosokawa Koharu blushed, knowing that he might have misunderstood, so he hurriedly hung up the phone, came outside the editorial department, and said hello to Higashinoji.

Then she led Higashino to the discussion room dedicated to editors and authors.

"I came here this time to deliver the manuscript of the manga serialized in the monthly magazine "Aoba"."

Higashinoji quickly forgot about the previous incident and got into working mode.

As he spoke, he took out the original manuscript of "The Lonely Gourmet" and handed it to Hosokawa Koharu: "Please let Editor Hosokawa take a look."

Well

This action that went straight to the point made Hosokawa Koharu, who was originally worried about whether Higashinoji could deliver the manuscript, stunned.

Was it really messed up by Higashinoji? New food comic?

I don’t know how the quality is either.

Good food comics should give readers a sense of appetite that makes them want to eat.

I don’t know if Higashinoji can do it.

Hosokawa Koharu shifted his gaze and looked at Higashino Tsukasa's new work——

The title above is simple:

"The Lonely Gourmet".
