Chapter 44. Hosokawa Koharu has something to look for

Over the next five days, Tsukasa Higashino focused on the painting "Tokyo Sunset: Impression" in the studio.

After about two scrapes of paint and two more re-colors, Higashino finalized the impression in front of him.

The quality of the finished "Tokyo Sunset Impression" is unquestionable.

The sun hangs in the sky like a hot orange glow, and the sparkling light envelops everything, and the scenery and light are organically wrapped together.

The light illuminates Tokyo, and the cold and warm overlap make it difficult to see the entity at a cursory glance, giving the impression of a sunset.

After the end of this oil painting, Tsukasa Higashino also handed it over to Ryoko Okano in time.

Ryoko Okano would come every day to urge the manuscript to be delivered, and every time she looked at his revised oil paintings, she would sigh with the look, 'This quality is enough, but why do you continue to revise'.

Regarding Ryoko Okano's attitude, Higashino Tsukasa just smiled a few times every time and passed over.

After all, from Higashinoji's point of view, Ryoko Okano's attitude of 'contentment and happiness' is actually not good in the art industry.

Because since you have chosen the profession of art, then every work must be perfected and studied diligently, and every painting must be painted with a kind of momentum of 'this is the last painting I painted in my lifetime', and strive to do the best.

Because there is never a shortage of geniuses in the art industry.

Do you think you're good at drawing? But someone else draws better than you! Did you put in 15 percent effort? But those who are gifted use 200 percent effort.

To reverse this situation, it is necessary to polish each painting to the most delicate state.

Instead of being merciful and fooling around with "Tokyo Sunset Impression" because it was used to participate in the student competition, Higashino used all his skills to draw "Tokyo Sunset Impression" may not be his best work, but it is definitely a work that he is satisfied with.

It's not a matter of whether the student group is a student group or not, it's a matter of attitude towards the industry.

As for Konoe Ryoka... She's still painting gouache.

But it seems to be influenced by Higashino Division.,She's gradually able to let go of her pen.,Her movements aren't as stiff as they used to be.。

Tsukasa Higashino saw all this, and he was quite relieved, and he had the feeling that an old father had seen his cub finally grow up.

Everything seems to be going well.

But in reality, this is not the case.

"There's no more suitable material."

Looking at the empty canvas in front of him, Tsukasa Higashino muttered to himself.

As mentioned earlier, Tsukasa Higashino intends to compete in both the adult and student divisions.

But now there is a lack of suitable painting materials.

I can draw a corner of Tokyo like the first "Tokyo Sunset: Impressions", but if so...

"It's too singular."

Tsukasa Higashino pinched his chin.

Yes. If both the student and adult groups handed in two views of Tokyo, it would be too monotonous and repetitive for Tsukasa Higashino.

But if you start looking for a nice view or scenery from now on... It's a little too late at this point.

Because next Saturday, the Tokyo Youth Painting Award will be closed for submissions.

Staring at the blank canvas, Higashino shook his head and put down his brush.

He wasn't going to put pen to paper.

After all, there is still enough time now, and he still plans to go to the wind collection to see if there is anything he can be satisfied with.

But until then...

Higashino picked up the shoulder bag next to him, and glanced at the original manuscript of the second episode of "Midnight Bell" in it.

Originally, he contacted Hosokawa Koharu in advance and asked her to come directly to his house to pick up the original.

But the other party changed the request halfway, hoping that Higashino Tsukasa himself would personally send the manuscript over, and by the way, there was something else he needed to deal with.

Is there anything he needs to deal with...? Higashino didn't know what he had to deal with, but since Hosokawa Koharu had asked for it, he would naturally make a trip.

Picking up his shoulder bag and saying hello to Ryoka Konoe, Higashino quickly left the studio.

Regarding Higashino Division's behavior of sitting down and leaving without even half an hour, the female students next to him just raised their heads, and then all lowered their heads, as if they were commonplace.

They weren't used to it at first, and a few of them protested to Ryoko Okano against Tsukasa Higashino's violation of studio discipline - how did they just come and go? You can't give preferential treatment just because you're handsome!

But after seeing Tsukasa Higashino's "Tokyo Sunset Impression", the girls stopped talking.

Later, they also took the initiative to ask Higashino Tsukasa for painting skills, and they tasted the real fragrance.

Ryoka Konoe saw the change in the attitude of the senior sisters towards Higashino Tsukasa, and was full of envy.

But she can't talk and laugh freely in front of so many girls of the same age like Tsukasa Higashino, and make two jokes from time to time to win their favor.

So she could only stare at Higashino Tsukasa with envy.

......

"Hello, Miss Uzaki." Tsukasa Higashino greeted the reception lady of Urashima Publishing House with familiarity.

"Ahh It's Higashino's little brother.,This time I'm here for work? Miss Uzaki asked as she handed the visitor card to Tsukasa Higashino.

Higashino Tsukasa is also familiar with her, plus Hosokawa Koharu greeted him in advance, so he didn't even let him register.

"Yes, I'm mainly here to visit Miss Usaki this time, and by the way, I'll solve the matter assigned to me by the editor of Hosokawa."

Tsukasa Higashino smiled and joked to Miss Uzaki, and took the visitor card into his hand.

"Brother Higashino, you really are." Miss Uzaki waved at him happily.

Higashino nodded in return, and then walked to the elevator.

Upstairs, Higashino Tsukasa was still greeted by a neatly divided editing workspace and an author-editing consultation area.

Before he could ask, an editor next to him stood up with a phone in his hand, and called Hosokawa Koharu by the way: "Hosokawa editor!" Your Higashino-sensei is here! ”

"It's not my family's Higashino-sensei! Oshima-senpai, you're rude to Higashino-sensei like this! ”

Hosokawa Koharu stood up a little angrily, his face flushed.

She almost vomited out of a mouthful of old blood.

I don't know who spread the rumor in the editorial department, and it became that she liked Tsukasa Higashino, but she was dumped by Tsukasa Higashino.

There is no such thing at all!

She was just shocked by Tsukasa Higashino's early completion of the second episode of "Midnight Bell" that day, so she lost her soul.

Why did it get into their mouths and they liked that Tsukasa Higashino was dumped?

Hosokawa Koharu was a little helpless, but this was not the time to talk to them, just a few rebuttals, and after finding that there was no result, she took Tsukasa Higashino to the work area where the editor talked to the author.

After all, about the original manuscript of "Midnight Bell" and the handling of another thing... She's still going to have a good conversation with Tsukasa Higashino.
