The awkward atmosphere didn't last long.

Higashino Tsukasa was not even silent, and smiled slightly after listening to Chimi Nagawa's words: "That's really a coincidence." I remember that Miss Kuronomiya also graduated from Kita-Yoshijuku High School, right? Then we can be regarded as competing with the same senior siblings. ”

Belch...

Chimi Nagawa expressed surprise at Tsukasa Higashino's overly calm attitude.

She opened her mouth: "Senior Brother Higashino... Don't you have anything else in mind? For example, if you miss it, you will press your fellow sister under you, and you will snatch the golden reward of your fellow sister by mistake... And sorry for that or something...? ”

In this regard, Higashino just smiled and shook his head, and at the same time felt a little funny in his heart, why did this little girl learn a word and use it casually? What else is 'crushing my senior sister under you'.

Isn't this a misunderstanding?

After he laughed, he also replied with a straight face: "First of all, I want to correct Senior Sister Mingchuan's mistake in common sense, it's not that I 'missed' the gold reward of Senior Sister Heigong." The gold reward itself is competitive in nature, and the relationship between me and Senior Sister Black Palace is competitive. ”

Higashino Tsukasa looked at Kuromiya Mingsha: "Take 10,000 steps back, it was Senior Sister Kuroya who won the gold reward this time, and it was me who lost, I will only express regret, and work hard to get back the gold reward from Senior Sister Kuroya next time." ”

"The Gold Award includes the reader's praise for 'Chill', which has always come from competition. It's not that I 'missed' snatched' Senior Sister Heigong's gold reward. ”

Yes, Chimi Nagawa said that Kuronomiya Akisa was robbed of the gold reward by Tsukasa Higashino, which is childish at all.

For example, a child who watches a lollipop being taken away by someone else and then loses his temper speaks.

To put it mildly, it is that he has not been beaten by society.

In the past, Higashino Tsukasa had a friend who went to work, and the leader took the results of his group, and in the end, that friend could only hum and pinch his nose and endure it.

In this world, there are very few people who can stand and make money, and Higashino Tsukasa is a professional painter who doesn't want to meet this kind of.

At this moment, Kuronomiya Akisa, who had been silent, raised her head and spoke: "Higashino... The junior brother is right. ”

She seemed to be touched by what Higashino had just said.

That's right... The gold reward does not come by other people's charity, Higashino Tsukasa is better than her, so it is natural to get the gold reward.

What you need to do is to keep sharpening yourself, get angry, unwilling... None of this was what she was supposed to do.

Kuronomiya Mingsha suddenly brightened, and the cringe in his heart just now dissipated a lot: "This time, I didn't come here to trouble Senior Brother Higashino, but this..."

Kuronomiya Akira stumbled and took out a bag of things that had been sealed in a paper bag from her large shoulder bag.

She handed it to Tsukasa Higashino, her sedate face full of seriousness.

“... This is...? Comic book originals? ”

Tsukasa Higashino knew what was in it just by weighing it.

After all, he deals with comic manuscript paper every day.

"This is the original manga manuscript I used to participate in Urashima Press's new monthly magazine "Aoba".

Kuronomiya Misa looked at Tsukasa Higashino very seriously: "I want to win the first place in the reader's praise rate in the monthly magazine "Aoba", and then return to "Bad Cold" and win the first place in "Bad Cold". ”

Her "Between the Dolls" is still two weeks away, and now it is natural to prepare a new work.

Yes?

Upon hearing this, Tsukasa Higashino's expression also changed slightly.

To be honest, he was suspicious of Kuronomiya Akira and his own natural offense.

Why did he draw a new manga "Lonely Gourmet" and prepare to go to the monthly magazine "Aoba", Kuronomiya Akisa immediately said that he also wanted to draw a new manga on "Aoba".

This is really fratricidal brotherhood.

Tsukasa Higashino shook his head speechlessly.

"What's wrong?" Chimi Nagawa shook her head when she saw Tsukasa Higashino, instinctively feeling that something was wrong.

"Actually, I also drew new comics."

Tsukasa Higashino didn't hide it from Chimi Nagawa and Akira Kuronomiya, and walked to the table to pick up the blacked-out manuscript.

"You've got a new comic too?" Chimi Nagawa's eyelids twitched, and Akira Kuronomiya's always calm face also showed an incredible expression.

"Well, the new comic is called "The Lonely Gourmet", which is a comic on food, and the first word has been completed by a third, and the follow-up draft storyboard for the editor is also done."

At the end, Higashino Tsukasa coughed and added, "It seems that we are competitors again this time, Miss Kuromiya." ”

Rao is that he is a little embarrassed.

"......" Kuronomiya Akisa, Chimi Nagawa.

Tsukasa Higashino says at first that he didn't mean to snipe himself.

Kuronomiya Akira believed it.

But now... She couldn't help but glance at Higashino Tsukasa frequently.

He... Really didn't mean to?

But—

"Senior Brother Higashino, this comic is preparing to transform into a food comic?" Kuronomiya Akira glanced at the middle-aged man Goro Inokami, who was walking through the streets of Tokyo in a suit on the original manuscript, and couldn't help but ask.

Transformation.

This is something that is particularly taboo in the comics industry.

It's like when you write a book at the beginning, at the beginning you write a light-hearted novel, and then the next book suddenly has a transformation, killing your sister at every turn, killing decisively at every turn... This style shift is sure to sift through many of the previous readers.

Like Kuronomiya Akisa, a new manga that is ready to be cast in "Aoba", still chooses the theme of horror comics.

She wants to gain a foothold in the horror manga before challenging Tsukasa Higashino's Midnight Bell.

I didn't expect it... Tsukasa Higashino, this is going to start the transformation directly?

It's not something that genius can do.

"Let me see!" Chimi Nagawa leaned over and wanted to see Tsukasa Higashino's work.

And then... Chimi Nagawa looked at it and muttered, "It's quite interesting." ”

That's right.

Although it is only a third of the way through, the plot of Goro Inukami's handling of difficult male customers in front of him is over.

Standard Japanese witty black humor.

When I heard a male customer say to Goro Inohatori with a smile on his face, "If it's Mr. Inokashi, then you must know my mind, right?" It's up to you. ”

Then Goro Inokashi's face was full of inexplicability, 'What do I understand?' ''What do I understand?'' 'I'm not a superpower' expression...

This stark contrast is a perfect contrast to the absurdity of real life.

Especially for those office workers who are already working, it is estimated that a lot of resonance will arise when they see the expression of Goro Inokashira on this page.

Tsukasa Higashino restored the psychological state of Party A in the face of inexplicable requests of office workers through all the details in the comics.

'Who knows what you think?' ’

'I don't understand anything!' ’

'Whatever I want... That's the hardest part of the way! ’

"It's funny..."

Chimi Nagawa put aside the phrase 'interesting' and replaced it with 'so interesting'.

Yes... This kind of extremely realistic 'troubles in life' is processed by Tsukasa Higashino's art, and the overall plot is particularly witty and humorous, allowing readers to catch different flashes and smile in the ordinary daily small plots.

Why is it so interesting that Tsukasa Higashino draws a food manga and doesn't even come out with food?

Chimi Nagawa and Akira Kuronomiya glanced at each other.

Suddenly I felt like I had nothing to say.
