"Mr. Higashino, are you going to cooperate with Oura Yukie?" Yumi Takahashi looked at Tsukasa Higashino, who had changed into a fairly mature and decent clothes, and asked with curiosity on her face.

"Well, if nothing else, it should be a cooperation." Tsukasa Higashino opened his mouth to explain: "The song "Lemon" written before, I want Oura Yukie to sing it. ”

"Really? Oura Yukie's singing skills are very good, plus Mr. Higashino, your particularly good song... It's absolutely invincible! ”

Listening to Yumi Takahashi's use of the word 'invincible in the world' without hesitation, Higashino Tsukasa directly knocked her on the head: "If there is nonsense, hurry up." ”

She has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so there must be something she wants to ask Higashino Tsukasa.

"Mr. Higashino, can you ask me for an autograph? Oura Yukie's. Yumi Takahashi laughed twice, finally revealing her true thoughts.

"Yes." It's not much of a problem for Higashino to ask for an autograph, anyway, this time it's a past cooperation, and the other party will give this face no matter what.

"Really? Then you're welcome? Yumi Takahashi was immediately interested, and her eyes lit up.

"What are you polite to me?" Higashino shook his head with a smile.

This product is polite at this time.

Higashino didn't pay much attention to it, just watched her turn around and get the autograph.

And then...

Then Higashino Tsukasa watched her come over with almost a dozen autographed books, and there was a voice in his mouth: "This is Atong's, this is the big head's, this is Meixiang's..."

Higashino Tsukasa was a little speechless when he looked at her movements.

I'm asking you not to be polite, but you're too polite, aren't you?

But he didn't care much about it, so he simply stuffed these miscellaneous things into his shoulder bag, and didn't bother to care who was who, so it was a big deal to ask Oura Yukie to help sign it when the time came.

After dealing with the matter on Takahashi Yumi's side, Higashino Tsukasa turned around and asked Fujiwara Aoi: "Is there anything Aoi you want me to help bring?" ”

"Huh...? Well... How can I say it..."Fujiwara Aoi heard that Higashino Tsukasa was still thinking about her at this time, so she hesitated for a while, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she still shook her head: "Nothing in particular, Higashino-san." ”

"Then I'll go first."

Since Aoi Fujiwara didn't have anything to ask him to help bring, Tsukasa Higashino didn't hesitate and simply went out.

After all, punctuality is very important common sense in Japan.

Tsukasa Higashino went out and went down the door, first taking a ride to Urashima Publishing House.

Today's Urashima Publishing House is different from the Urashima Publishing House before it.

As soon as he entered the office building, Tsukasa Higashino could see the characters in his manga everywhere.

The hideous and twisted Sadako stand, the poster of "Winner is Justice" posted on the wall, Kensuke Komimon's face full of beauty, and the poster of the special chapter of Goro Inokami from the 23rd ward of Tokyo to various places in "The Lonely Gourmet"... and the hottest comic book "Unnatural Death" poster at the moment.

The only ones left to put posters on the walls of the main headquarters of Urashima Publishing House are Akira Kuronomiya's "Between the Dolls" and "Wild Island".

It's a huge publishing house, and now it's in the shape of Tsukasa Higashino and Akira Kuronomiya.

You know, it wasn't like that a year ago.

Even Miss Uzaki, the receptionist who greeted Tsukasa Higashino with a smile, couldn't help but sigh - the young man who first joined Urashima Publishing House with "Midnight Bell" has now become a real pillar of the industry.

No matter what publishing house it is, Tsukasa Higashino is a resource worth fighting for.

But Higashino Tsukasa is actually not arrogant, and he can chat with her, the reception lady, and have a hot chat... This adds even more favorability.

Tsukasa Higashino didn't care about Miss Uzaki's thoughts as a reception, after all, people in this society, if they can make good friends with others, they should try to make good friends, so as not to find someone to help when they need help.

Relationships are usually a good thing.

He went upstairs, and Hosokawa Koharu, who was preparing various book documents, quickly came down again.

The next step is to visit Oura Yukie.

Although the other party is a new generation of singers, he actually has a small studio of his own, which can be regarded as an independent existence from the singer and artist office.

All of this is also because of her song "Pirate Ship of Feelings" has achieved good results - it is very famous on the girls' side, and the matching list has been No. 1 for three consecutive weeks, with a total of 750,000 email downloads, and even girls like Ryoka Konoe who don't care much about the current pop music can sing two sentences.

With "Pirate Ship of Feelings", she released several songs in a row, all of which achieved good results, and later sold the track collaboration album, and even won the fourth place in sales on the public trust list.

Because of this, she set up her own studio, which can be regarded as a relatively popular young generation singer.

But compared to a genius singer like Yonezu Genshi who came out of high autism... Oura Yukie is still a little less legendary.

Tsukasa Higashino and Koharu Hosokawa soon arrived downstairs in Yukie Oura's studio, and after Hosokawa Koharu made a phone call, someone came down to greet him.

He was greeted by a middle-aged man with a serious face.

"Hello, I'm the editor of Urashima Press, Koharu Hosokawa."

Hosokawa Koharu stretched out his hand and shook hands with the middle-aged man.

"Hello, I'm the person in charge of Oura-sensei's related matters, Hanhei Muroi."

The two shook hands, which was considered a meeting, and at the same time, Hosokawa Koharu did not forget to introduce Tsukasa Higashino next to him: "Next to me is Tsukasa Higashino, the comic author of "Unnatural Death". ”

"Hello. Mr. Muroi. Higashino Tsukasa stretched out his hand and shook hands with Hosokawa Koharu.

"Hello, Mr. Higashino... Please go upstairs and talk about the details. Muroi Hanpei reached out and shook hands briefly with Tsukasa Higashino, motioning for the two to go upstairs.

His attitude is not too enthusiastic, nor too cold, it can only be described as ordinary.

This made Higashino Tsukasa can't help but raise an eyebrow.

But Higashino didn't care too much about such trivial things, he followed Muroi Hanpei upstairs and walked into the reception room and sat down.

When the two of them were seated, Muroi asked bluntly, "It's Higashino-sensei who wants to cooperate with our Oura-sensei on the theme song, right?" ”

"That's right." Hosokawa Koharu nodded: "We should have had an agreement before, what about Oura-sensei...?" ”

She looked around twice, but she didn't see the figure of Oura Yukie.

"Ahh Please wait a minute, I'll call and ask. Muroi Hanpei stood up and took out his phone, apparently to contact Oura Yukie.

Tsukasa Higashino and Koharu Hosokawa don't have a problem with this, and it won't be in the way if they wait a little.

Merely...

At this time, Higashino Tsukasa and Hosokawa Koharu waited for fifteen minutes.

No matter how much he felt it didn't matter, Higashino Tsukasa also sensed a trace of something wrong.

As mentioned earlier, punctuality is the number one thing to pay attention to in Japan, especially when it comes to cooperation between such companies... How could someone leave a collaborator in the studio and wait for fifteen minutes?

How is this possible?

Higashino Tsukasa frowned, and Hosokawa Koharu next to him also looked impatient from calm to now: "Mr. Muroi, how long will it take for Mr. Opu to come back?" ”

"I should have to wait another fifteen minutes, Mr. Oura has an MTV show to record today." Muroi Hanpei opened his mouth to answer, and at the same time asked, "Before that, can the editor Hosokawa show me the song score first?" ”

The other party's tone was full of scrutiny and distrust of the theme song provided by Urashima Press, which made Hosokawa Koharu and Tsukasa Higashino frown.

Hosokawa Koharu didn't even move when he took out the simple score, and his eyes were a little cold on the spot.

Her lips moved slightly, and just as she was about to speak, Higashino Tsukasa next to her was already smiling and said happily: "Do you think the songs we provide are not good enough?" ”

"We didn't have this suspicion, but I heard that the creator of this song is Higashino-sensei... There is a difference between a song and a painting, and I hope Higashino-sensei can understand this, at least let's look at the sheet music. ”

"Really?" Higashino stood up calmly and shook his head, "It seems that there is nothing more to talk about. ”

He turned his head to look at Hosokawa Koharu, who was already a little unable to hold back, and said very dryly; "Let's go, editor Hosokawa."

"Huh?" Hosokawa Koharu was still a little inclined to go crazy, after all, he was treated like this kind of cold shoulder when he came here...

But after hearing Higashino's words, she instinctively was stunned.

The smile on Higashino's face had long since disappeared, replaced by an impenetrable calm.

Seeing Tsukasa Higashino's expression, Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help but nodded, stood up with a cold face, and planned to leave.

And seeing all this happening, Hanpei Muroi, who was originally serious, also showed a surprised expression, he and Oura Yukie always felt that it was Higashino Tsukasa who took the initiative to cooperate with them, and they had the initiative.

As a result, he didn't expect Higashino Tsukasa to be so decisive at all, and he was about to leave directly.

So he immediately stood up: "Mr. Higashino, we are still talking, Mr. Oura will be coming over soon, is it a little inconsiderate for you to do this?" ”

"Lack of consideration?" Higashino Tsukasa glanced sideways at Muroi Hanpei a little amused: "What is my identity, and what is the identity of Oura Yukie?" is a singer who has been on the best-time list for three weeks, why should I waste my precious time thinking about her? ”

Is it my lower social status than hers or do I earn less money than hers?

As a comic book author, Tsukasa Higashino has vaguely become the father of professional comics in Japan, and he has countless fans, "The moon is so beautiful" and "Summer is over" are known as the Japanese golden sentences in 2003 and 2004, plus the previous "Midnight Bell" animation filmization and he won the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award... The names of these species add up... The social status is definitely much higher than that of Oura Yukie.

As for making money?

Needless to say.

Kumamon's copyright fees, "Midnight Bell", "Lonely Gourmet", "Unnatural Death", "Winner is Justice" These single books have earned Higashino Tsukasa a lot of money, and in terms of earning power alone, Higashino Tsukasa can really crush Oura Yukie.

"Sooner or later, 'Unnatural Death' will be dramatized or animated, and I'm not worried that no one will buy it."

Higashino Tsukasa said with a smile: "Mr. Muroi, I think you should put yourself in a good position, and I talk to you on an equal footing, not because you have reached a height that can be compared with me, but just because I am willing to talk to you on an equal footing." ”

As soon as he said this, Muroi Hanpei had nothing to say.

If I don't want to, no one can stop me!

You must know that in Higashinoji's previous life, Japan's national-level singers didn't have half of this Hanhan Oura Yukie to play a big name, even if it was a national-level singer like Sakai Izumi and Nakajima Mika who sang the theme song for the animation... Why can you pretend to be so strong in front of me?

Who gave you courage? No. 1 on the distribution list for three consecutive weeks?

The attitude is straightforward when some can, which is bearable.

Hospitality is ordinary, but I don't care.

It's just that you didn't even give us a cup of tea, so we waited for a full fifteen minutes, and then you reached out to ask for a brief score, and your tone was still full of scrutiny and doubt.

"It's a shameless thing." Tsukasa Higashino unceremoniously pointed at Hanpei Muroi's nose and scolded, and without any hesitation, he pulled Hosokawa Koharu away.

He is also not afraid of feuds, after all, comics and music are more than half a street apart.

He just thinks that it is a waste to sing such a good song of "Lemon" to Yukie Oura for him!

And without Oura Yukie, I can't find anyone else to choose? Do you really think of yourself as a green onion?

I really can't find anyone, why don't I put on my own clothes?

The high quality of "Lemon" is not worried about kicking you off the distribution list? What are you, what are you?

Tsukasa Higashino is really a little bit upset.

To be honest, this is the first time he has taken the initiative to curse.

After all, what is being done on the other side is not quite like what a normal person can do.

The day before yesterday, Higashino Tsukasa was still sighing that there should be no such low EQ people in the world, good guy, I met him today.

There are really those who take themselves very seriously.

I still have to say here... The reality is indeed illogical.

At least this is the first time Higashino has met such a person.

At the same time, he couldn't help but want to use "Lemon" to kick Oura Yukie's ass hard and let her roll off the first position on the distribution list.

Let her know what a rare song she lost today.

That's what Tsukasa Higashino thinks.

Of course, this is not to say that Tsukasa Higashino is ready to give up drawing manga and change careers to become a singer.

It's that today's incident is really annoying, and Higashino Tsukasa really has the idea of putting on his own to go into battle.

Personally used "Lemon" to kick Oura Yukie off the distribution list.

That's what Tsukasa Higashino thinks.

As for the singer... To be honest, Tsukasa Higashino wasn't interested.

It's just a matter of fighting for breath.

After all...

People live to fight for breath.

Otherwise, others will treat you as a soft egg and be bullied.

This time, I'm really going to put on a battle.

If you don't kick Oura Yukie hard, Higashino Tsukasa is uncomfortable all over his body.
