Yuto Okan has passed away.

Tsukasa Higashino, who learned the news, took his coat and put it on, and immediately went out.

He got into the car according to the address given by Ryuichi Yano, and walked for about five or six minutes before finding a place.

It was a small two-story house, and Yano Ryuichi was standing by the door smoking a cigarette and looking very embarrassed.

It's something that can't be helped.

Just dealing with the slander and rumors on the Internet already made him feel a little exhausted.

"Mr. Yano."

Tsukasa Higashino walked over and said hello.

"Ahh Higashino-sensei. Yano Ryuichi dusted off his cigarette ashes, and subconsciously wanted to ask Tsukasa Higashino if he smoked, but his hand was only halfway out, and he stopped, Tsukasa Higashino was not yet an adult and couldn't smoke.

Yano Ryuichi showed a bitter smile and extinguished the cigarette butt: "Please come in." ”

"It's... Mr. Okuni's home? ”

Higashino asked with a glance at the door number on the side.

"Well, Mr. Okuni... No, it's Mr. Okuni's wife, and I want to give you something. ”

"I see." Tsukasa Higashino nodded.

Ryuichi Yano obviously didn't want to say anything, and his mood was very low.

Follow Yano Ryuichi into the house, but before he can change his shoes, Higashino Tsukasa is knocked back two steps by a small figure.

It was a little boy, his hair was slightly curly, the other party's eyes were red, it looked obvious that he had just cried, his voice trembled, he pointed at Higashino Division, and shouted in an extraordinarily sad voice: "It's all your fault!" If it weren't for your work..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he turned and went upstairs.

"That's the son of Daguan-kun... Please forgive Mr. Higashino, after all, he just got the bad news of his father's death. Yano Ryuichi said apologetically.

"It's okay, I don't care." Higashino waved his hand, and then began to look at the room.

There are a lot of posters of animation works on the wall, and they are directly near the entrance.

"This is my husband's preference, and he sticks posters of the company's animated works and his favorite animation posters on the walls..."

From the living room came a woman with short hair, who didn't look particularly young and mature, looked at the poster, and after a while whispered, "I used to scold him a lot for this... There is no chance anymore. ”

"I'm sorry." Tsukasa Higashino apologized, knowing in his heart that this woman was probably the wife of Yuto Okan.

"It's okay... Hello, Higashino-sensei, I'm the wife of Yuto Okuni, Chiwa Okuni. "Unnatural Death" and "Winner is Justice" are both works of Higashino-sensei, right? ”

"Yes."

Tsukasa Higashino stretched out his hand and shook it with the other party.

After getting Tsukasa Higashino's answer, Chiwa Onuki just smiled reluctantly and shook his head: "My husband liked these two works very much when he was alive, and he has always wanted to meet you, but... No, it's useless to talk about that now. Please come and sit in the living room. ”

Her eyes were still bloodshot, and she could see that she probably hadn't slept well these days.

Higashino answered, then glanced sideways at the row of posters posted on the wall.

These belong to the relics of Daguan Yong's life, and in the last row, he clearly saw the shadows of "Winner is Justice" and "Unnatural Death".

It seems that Yuto Okan really likes his work.

Higashino followed Chiwa Okani into the living room, sat down and drank tea, which can be regarded as officially entering the conversation.

"The reason for inviting Mr. Higashino over this time, I think Mr. Higashino should know it... I have something I want to give you. ”

Daikan Chiwa did not sell off, but went straight to the point.

She stood up, walked to the side of the cabinet, took out two half-yellowed and blackened parchment bags from the drawer, and handed them to Tsukasa Higashino.

"This is—" Higashino Tsukasa was stunned, then looked at Chiwa Okani.

The other man nodded, signaling that he could open the parchment bag directly.

After getting permission, Tsukasa Higashino did not hesitate to open it.

And then... Tsukasa Higashino saw it.

It was a beautiful original painting with various notes.

Kensuke Komimon's exaggerated face, Tomoko Dai's argument to insist on justice, and the head-to-head confrontation between lawyer Miki and Kensuke Komimen...

One after another original paintings of "Winner is Justice".

Densely packed notes.

This level of fine processing made Tsukasa Higashino couldn't help but admire.

It's definitely not a problem to say that it's hard work.

"This is a part of the original sketch left over from "Winner is Justice"..."The voice of Daikan Chi and tiredness rang out.

Well?

Higashino Tsukasa looked up, more or less surprised.

Shouldn't the original drawings of "Winner is Justice" all burned by a fire?

How is this part left...?

"These are the original drawings rescued by Daguanjun." Ryuichi Yano looked at the original sketch and fell into memory: "These are what I heard from those who were slightly injured... The moment the fire broke out, Daguan-kun's whole person actually rushed towards these original sketches..."

As he spoke, his expression became a little sad.

Risking your life to save the original artwork...?

Tsukasa Higashino groaned, thinking it was still possible.

Yuto Okuni may be part of his love for "Winner is Justice", but the most important thing is that he, as the president of PW Animation Production, must not watch the original drawing disappear into the fire.

If the production cycle of "Winner is Justice" is extended, he will definitely have to be claimed by the investor and Urashima Press... At that time, the sky-high claim fee will come down, and PW Animation Production Company will definitely disappear directly, and he will also have to bear a large amount of debt.

Higashino Tsukasa knew that if he took on this debt, not only Daguan Yongren, but also Daikan Qian and this family could be considered half-ruined.

But anyway... You can choose the original artwork of "Winner is Justice" in a life-and-death decision...

Tsukasa Higashino has to admit that what Hosokawa Koharu said is that there are indeed lovers of the manga industry.

Daikan may be one of them.

Higashino Tsukasa was a little emotional, but did not hesitate, and returned the thing: "This is Mr. Okuni's relic, I can't accept it." ”

“... I'm actually quite satisfied, and compared to other families, at least I can still see my husband's body. "Daikan Chiwa's calm words make people sad.

She didn't know what mood she was in to say this, tears rolled around the edge of her eyes unconsciously, and she bowed deeply to Higashino Tsukasa: "I just don't want my husband to bear so much unwarranted infamy. ”

What's next?

After the death of the husband, how do you pull the child to grow up?

Chiwa Okan was confused about the road ahead, but even so, she didn't abuse Tsukasa Higashino.

"I see... I'll go back—" Higashino couldn't say anything more than he could say anymore, and sighed slightly.

Endless abuse on the Internet, personal attacks on Daiko, remarks cursing Daiko's family... Tsukasa Higashino knows, and he also wants to help speak out.

However, the whirlpool of public opinion has been formed, and it is estimated that his voice can only be suspended, not stopped.

Daikan Chiwa teary-eyed: "He really did his best, Mr. Higashino." Please help him! ”

She stood up, walked down from the sofa, and knelt down directly in front of Tsukasa Higashino: "Please help him, before the funeral with flowers... I hope he gets rid of the stigma. ”

The real earth sitting kneeling is not as hilarious as it is in many anime or TV dramas.

Kneeling on the ground, the sound of porcelain.

This is the posture of Chiwa Daikan who put down his pride and begged Tsukasa Higashino with all his heart.

Tsukasa Higashino also experienced the sadness and powerlessness of Chiwa Okani.

He sighed and stood up, just as he was about to reach out and help Daikan Chiwa to get up, when he heard a rush of footsteps outside the living room.

"It's Toshiki... He guessed he was eavesdropping all the time. Yano Ryuichi rubbed his reddened eyes and smiled bitterly: "When I got the news just now, he not only scolded Mr. Higashino, but also Daguan-kun... He felt that his father was a fool, he had done a stupid thing, and he would not have a good reputation when he died, and he would never be like his father in the future. ”

Higashino shook his head.

Don't you want to be like Yuto Okuni?

Higashino looked silently at the parchment bag on the table, where the original painting lay quietly.

The people who have passed away are gone.

I left for my work "Winner is Justice".

And Daikan Yuto is still his own fan.

Is it difficult for you, a national-level comic author, to just watch your fans leave with all kinds of abuse?

To be a man, you still have to talk about some human feelings.

Although Tsukasa Higashino is not a human person, he just looks at the pile of manuscripts... The original painting manuscript that was exchanged for the life of Daikan Yuto...

Higashino felt like he had to do something.

At the very least, Toshiki Otsuki has to know that his father is not a fool, but a person who deserves the respect of others.

No matter which animation company you put in this original art manuscript of "Winner is Justice", it is a quality worth touting!

The professionalism of the people of Daikan is respected, and they will definitely not be fools.

"I'll help Mr. Osuki get rid of the abuse." Higashino Tsukasa lifted Senwa Onkan up from the ground: "Please trust me. ”

He felt that this matter could only be done by him, and only he could handle it.

At least before the funeral with flowers, let the deceased Daikan Yuren get rid of the abuse on the Internet.

On the other side, Toshiki Onuki didn't know any of this.

He just looked at his room.

There are a lot of comics stuffed on the bookshelves in the room, which are all things that Yuto Ohun bought for him in the first place.

At that time, Toshiki Okuni's dream was to become a person similar to Yuto Okuni and also direct an anime work.

But...

A feeling of annoyance rose in his heart, and he screamed angrily and swept down all the comics on the shelves.

After a while.

There was a low sobbing sound in the room.

......

Hosokawa Koharu is not in a particularly good mood today.

Originally, she was forced to be a villain the day before yesterday, which made her very uncomfortable, but after seeing those Internet trolls abusing PW Animation Production Company on the Internet, she was even more angry and uncomfortable.

This kind of natural and man-made disaster should be scolded for the culprit.,Why are they all scolded on Daikan Yongren and PW Animation Production Company?

But what can you do if you don't feel comfortable?

It's not like you're going to live the same life.

But...

"Let's find Mr. Higashino tomorrow and ask him to make a statement to explain the situation of the matter, so as to ease this turmoil."

It's too late now.

Hosokawa Koharu turned over and lay on the bed, just wanting to close his eyes and rest-

The phone that had been placed at the bedside to charge rang.

This made Hosokawa Koharu, who had just been a little sleepy, open his eyes and pick up the phone with a little impatience: "Hey? Who is it? ”

"It's me, Tsukasa Higashino, editor Hosokawa."

"Higashino-sensei?"

Hosokawa Koharu rolled over directly from the bed, and a trace of impatience in his heart turned into surprise.

Tsukasa Higashino actually called himself?

You must know that in addition to receiving manuscripts, the chances of Higashino Tsukasa taking the initiative to call her can be said to be very small.

"Hmm... Well... Daikan Yuto has passed away? ”

Hosokawa Koharu's eyes widened, and then he reacted, and replied with some regret: "I see... Didn't make it through... Ay? Animated MV? Higashino-sensei wants to draw? ”

Listening to Tsukasa Higashino over there, Koharu Hosokawa immediately got out of bed and began to record: "I understand... It's possible to get in touch.,But why did Mr. Higashino suddenly come up with an anime MV? Whim... Well, I see. ”

Hanging up the phone, Hosokawa Koharu touched his chin, and really felt that she couldn't understand the author of Tsukasa Higashino.

Suddenly called, suddenly what to do animation MV ...

But fortunately, at least the word 'animation' is used this time, and Tsukasa Higashino is not doing things interprofessionally this time.

It's just that this is a sudden contact.,Suddenly want to do some animation MV... It simply caught her off guard.

"What's the name of the title of the anime MV? Higashino-sensei just said yes..."

Hosokawa Koharu pondered and thought about it, and then spoke-

"Even though we have nothing in our hands."

Tsukasa Higashino muttered the name of the anime MV, closed his eyes, and began to think about the details.

This anime MV is particularly famous in Tsukasa Higashino's previous life, and there are also many people who say that it is a divine comedy to reduce the suicide rate... It's just that this aside, this song and the anime MV really gave a lot of strength to people at the time.

This is a narrative song, if it is not paired with the animated short film in the previous life, it is a heart-warming song that encourages others not to be abused and defeated by exclusion, and if it is paired with an animated short, it is a sensational narrative song that promotes father's love and mother's love...

The most important thing is that its lyrics are really appropriate.

"I have a gift I want to present to you, it is a lonely night, still shining in the distance, full of stars, although it is constantly lost, although it is incomprehensible, although it is ostracized, although it cannot be realized, but it is still desperately struggling..."

Tsukasa Higashino stretched out his hand to write the title and began to write a brief score.

An unwarranted disaster left Daguan's house empty...

Whether it's the title or the lyrics... It's all very appropriate.

Tsukasa Higashino wrote it violently, and soon the song "Although We Are Empty" appeared under his hands.

He thought about it for a moment and added the subtitle after the headline, 'This song only commemorates the deceased industry colleagues of PW Animation Productions.' ’

Open the way with this song.

And then there's a statement from him, the author of "Victory is Justice."

We will definitely be able to stop this turmoil!
