Ryoka Konoe, Yumi Takahashi, and Aoi Fujiwara looked at each other, looking at the A4 paper on the table, "I've thought about it a hundred", and they were all quiet, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Even Yumi Takahashi, who has always been out-of-the-box, has a serious face.

Looking at this piece of paper, Aoi Fujiwara next to him thought for a long time before he spoke: "Stupid pig... Yumi, it's not like you're kidding us, are you? ”

"Where do I have?!" Yumi Takahashi screamed, her voice full of grievance; "I wanted to go to Mr. Higashino's room to see if there was an original manuscript of the next episode of "Unnatural Death", and then I saw this piece of paper on the desktop at a glance... Am I the kind of person who makes fun of this? You're right? Cool flowers? ”

How could she be such a person?

Aoi Fujiwara didn't speak, and Ryoka Konoe next to him didn't say anything.

But sometimes not taking a stand hurts more than making a statement.

Yumi Takahashi was a little embarrassed: "I really didn't-"

"This is indeed the writing of As." Konoe Ryoka looked at it for a long time, and finally spoke hesitantly.

She had seen Tsukasa Higashino write before, and it was indeed this very standard printed type, which was very well written and looked very comfortable.

As soon as these words came out, Ryoka Konoe and Yumi Takahashi were silent again.

After a moment of silence, Aoi Fujiwara asked, "That... Lianghua, you've been with Higashino-san for a long time recently... When did Higashino-sensei come up with this idea? ”

Konoe Ryoka showed a very ashamed expression: "I don't know. ”

This is another girlfriend's dereliction of duty!

Tsukasa Higashino actually has the idea of 'one hundred', but he doesn't know...

Alas! This girlfriend of mine is really deserved!

Seeing Ryoka Konoe's sad face, Yumi Takahashi didn't 'just rub it' as usual, but began to analyze it seriously: "I think it probably started with writing the song "Lemon". You see, it is said that art comes from life, and if you don't have this idea, Higashino-sensei wouldn't be short-sighted. ”

“... Higashino-san's not dead yet. Aoi Fujiwara, who was next to him, couldn't help but interject.

"Let's take an analogy!" Yumi Takahashi patted the table with dignity: "And from my point of view... Higashino-sensei is probably the author of the kind of 'mille-feuille', and he likes to hide a lot of things in his heart and not say it. For example, if you look at him laughing now, he may be crying in his heart, and if you see him crying, he may indeed be crying. ”

"Absolute lasagna!" Yumi Takahashi opened his hand and held it openly, as if he had calculated Tsukasa Higashino to death.

Fujiwara Aoi was speechless for a while, thinking that this product must have been overthinking.

But there are some points that may indicate that Yumi Takahashi is right.

Tsukasa Higashino may giggle with them in the morning and cry with a pillow at night – isn't it true that many talented artists have these messy mental illnesses?

A few of their little girls began to discuss, and they felt more and more that it was very possible.

Chihaya Higashino on the other side didn't understand what they were talking about, so he just looked over his head twice.

After a while, Kuronomiya Akisa and Chimi Nagawa came to visit.

"Higashino-sensei wants to kill himself?"

Kuronomiya Akisa, who has always been quiet, didn't say anything when she heard the news, but just glanced at the line written by Tsukasa Higashino.

It's really Higashino's character.

Could it be that he really had this idea?

But it doesn't feel like it... Didn't Tsukasa Higashino say in an NHK interview the day before yesterday that he wouldn't think about killing himself?

Chimi Nagawa next to her deserves to be a master of bad ideas on the same level as Yumi Takahashi, and she said, "Otherwise, we should call the police, right?" Maybe Higashino-sensei is standing next to a reservoir right now, ready to jump down. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone agreed, and even the rational people like Kuronomiya Akisa and Fujiwara Aoi were bluffed by the two of them, and they were really ready to call the police.

But fortunately, Higashino didn't go too far to buy things, and picked up some ingredients that they all liked to eat and came back.

"It's not even before Miss Hasegawa arrives."

Higashino said hello and walked in.

However, halfway through, I noticed that the atmosphere in the house seemed to be a little wrong.

Everyone was staring at themselves with their heads up.

There must be a reason why this atmosphere is not right.

But before Higashino found out the reason, Chimi Nagawa had already patted her chest and breathed a big sigh of relief: "Higashino-sensei, you're okay, we thought you were going to kill yourself, and we almost called the police." ”

Why is it suicide again?

Tsukasa Higashino was really a little crying and laughing.

Why do you make it seem like you can't get around this 'suicide' stalk?

He was caught off guard by the words, but soon figured out why.

Isn't that piece of paper on the table something I wrote myself?

I guess they saw the piece of paper, so they had this messy idea.

Higashino was a little speechless, but he still told them about the new song.

"New songs? But that's a bad name, isn't it? Mr. Higashino, you shouldn't be bluffing us, right? In fact, I just want to kill myself... It hurts! ”

Yumi Takahashi was picked up by Tsukasa Higashino and slammed the book next to her on the head.

There's something wrong with this thing.

It's as if I wish he were 'killing himself'.

By the way, Tsukasa Higashino also gave Chimi Nagawa, who was watching the play next to him.

Chimi Nagawa, like Yumi Takahashi, is suspected of creating panic, and of course Tsukasa Higashino will not let her go.

"It's just an ordinary song." Higashino replied casually: "Don't think too much, I'm cooking now, ready to eat." ”

"Is it an ordinary song...?"

Although it is unacceptable to the statement of Higashino Division, these apprentices, girlfriends, and girls who are close friends of their girlfriends still keep their mouths shut.

There is no way, Higashino's prestige is so high among them.

Tsukasa Higashino quickly finished the party's cooking, and during this time, Riko Hasegawa hurried in from outside—as if she had been pulled by Kako Mizuguchi to drink a lot of beer.

But after all, she runs a restaurant at home, and she didn't get drunk after drinking a lot of beer, but Mizuguchi Kako poured herself down and lay on the bed.

Riko Hasegawa helped Tsukasa Higashino, and then found a place to sit down, chatting with Aoi Fujiwara and Akisa Kuronomiya beside them without a word.

Most of the discussion is quite simple, basically talking about the recent fire of "Lemon" and "Unnatural Death".

"Isn't that rumor spread on the Internet very exaggerated? Say that "Unnatural Death" is a comic with its own sound. ”

Riko Hasegawa spoke.

"Ahh That's true. Every time I flip to the back, there is always the sound of "Lemon"... It's amazing. ”

Yumi Takahashi couldn't help but raise her hand: "The previous comics of Mr. Higashino just made me feel particularly immersed... But now I can hear the theme song. ”

Fujiwara Aoi expressed a rational opinion on this, she waved her hand, and analyzed very seriously: "How can it be so mysterious... It's actually similar to watching some classic TV series. When you see some classic scenes, you will naturally recall the background music of that time. ”

They were chattering over there.

Tsukasa Higashino listened to the side while taking notes.

It seems that the painting skills given by the system are indeed working, and many people can hear "Lemon" as the theme song directly through "Unnatural Death", and even rumors have formed on the Internet.

Tsukasa Higashino estimates that in a year or two, when the 'urban legends' are once again circulating among young people in Japan, some people will dig up the strangeness of "Unnatural Death" and "Midnight Bell" and use them as new urban weird stories.

As for now...?

It's okay for readers to have fun watching it.

They don't really come to investigate whether Tsukasa Higashino can really draw comics with BGM.

And Chimi Nagawa on the side is not interested in these, she only thinks that Tsukasa Higashino is really powerful, a genius who is even more powerful than Kuronomiya Akisa, and it can be seen that she can successfully win the gold medal at the previous art creation awards.

Yumi Takahashi and the others came to ask Higashino Tsukasa after they finished discussing, and Higashino Tsukasa happily put all the dishes on the table, and then smiled and said, "I have superpowers, and the things I draw can not only make you hear the music, but also allow you to taste and feel it." ”

When he said this, Aoi Fujiwara, a rational mind like them would not believe it, and they took it as a joke at all.

Those who really believe in Higashino Tsukasa are also brainless fans like Yumi Takahashi and Ryoka Konoe.

The celebration party was actually nothing, and everyone toasted to Tsukasa Higashino's "Unnatural Death" after the two million volumes were equal, and then they began to taste the food.

There is no such 'drinking table culture' as adults in society, and these little girls get together just to celebrate Tsukasa Higashino's official entry into the ranks of Japanese manga sales ceilings, and to be happy for him.

This made Higashino Tsukasa very relaxed, and it was really a bit of a busy time.

During this time, I was busy with "Unnatural Death", and I couldn't relax after finally rushing into the ceiling ranks.

Wait until Higashino Chihaya also recovers... It would be nice to have another party like this when the time comes.

After they had cleaned up the garbage and said goodbye one by one, Higashino returned to the room and looked at "I Ever Thought About a Hundred" on the table.

"Let's get this song ready before we take it out." Higashino Tsukasa was in no hurry to shoot "Once I Thought About a Hundred" directly for everyone to hear, and after hesitating for a while, he put it in his small cabinet and kept it as the highest level of secret, just like "Naoki Hanzawa".

With that done, Higashino opened his notebook and began to scan the Lemon's rankings.

"Lemon" is still unbeatable on the distribution list, throwing the second place so that it can't even see the shadow, and the daily distribution of more than 6,000 has no intention of decreasing at all, maintaining a high level of growth rate, and the smooth rise of the straight line is really 'shocking'.

On the digital distribution list of the public trust list, "Lemon" has silently killed the fifteenth place, killing more than a dozen opponents in front of it, making the first few songs also feel 'cold' in the butt and feel poked down.

It's on fire, it's on fire indeed. "Lemon" can't stop the momentum at all.

What makes Higashino even more pleased is that many people at the bottom of the music comment section have expressed interest in watching the manga "Unnatural Death".

This may be the effect of the theme song and the original work.

Tsukasa Higashino clearly remembers that the most popular days of "Lemon" were the days when "Unnatural Death" was broadcast, and it was absolutely no problem to complement each other.

Of course, there are some people who directly persuaded them at the bottom of the comment area, asking Tsukasa Higashino not to draw comics, and to make his debut with "Lemon" with peace of mind and enter the Japanese entertainment industry... Doesn't it smell?

The comment section of "Lemon" here is full of singing and dancing. On the other hand, Oura Yukie's fans saw that "Lemon" did not fall off the list at all, and they all languished.

There are also some Internet trolls who feel that Oura Yukie has caused them to lose face, and in turn scolds Oura Yukie for having no eyes - how can such a good song fall in a week?

The reason why Yukie Oura put "Lemon" aside before, Tsukasa Higashino now knows through the investigation on Hosokawa Koharu's side.

It turned out that she had promised a TV station before to write a theme song for their summer love TV series, which is now the song "ByeByeBye", which originally wanted to compete for the first place... I didn't expect it... The first was taken directly by "Lemon".

I have to say that Oura Yukie has definitely had a hard time recently, the song that was originally locked in the first place on the distribution list was directly kicked to the fifth place, and then because of the conflict with her fans because of "Lemon", the song fell down again and fell to the seventh place, which really feels like 'protecting eight and fighting for seven'.

Higashino Tsukasa waited to see her like this, and when she fell a few more places down, Higashino Tsukasa could kick her directly into the ditch, and by the way, another layer of cement was pasted on the outside to ensure that she was buried tightly.

After looking at the situation for a while, Higashino turned off the computer and prepared to go out to wash up and rest.

But before he could get up, he heard the mobile phone next to him ring.

will call himself at this time.,It's likely to be Hosokawa Koharu.。

Higashino didn't hesitate for too long, picked up the phone directly, and asked, "Hey?" Hosokawa editor? ”

"Ahem... Didn't disturb your rest, did you? Higashino-sensei? Hosokawa Koharu over there asked, and the voice seemed a little urgent.

"Nothing... What happened? Higashino asked.

"It's not that there's anything wrong with me..."Hosokawa Koharu paused, as if organizing the language, and after a while, she gasped for breath and said a little helplessly: "There's a problem with the animation of "Winner is Justice". ”

Hosokawa Koharu gasped and smiled bitterly: "Although you may be able to see the news tomorrow... But I'll tell you now. ”

"The animation production company responsible for "Winner is Justice" was maliciously set on fire. All the original animation drafts and scripts that I had prepared before were burned. ”

"Hmm... Yes? ”

Hearing this, Higashino Tsukasa was stunned for a moment, and then opened his mouth in surprise.

Burned?

Well???
