After informing Tsukasa Higashino of the nomination for the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award on the first floor of Yamauchi, Tsukasa Higashino was also called over by Ryuichi Yoshimine.

Ryuichi Yoshimine also showed Tsukasa Higashino the vertical banner he had written—Tsukasa Higashino was a little speechless just by looking at it.

If you write a vertical banner, you can write a vertical banner... What do you mean by framing the vertical banner?

That's too much, isn't it?

And the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award is also a nomination, and I didn't say that I was selected, so why are you more excited than me?

Tsukasa Higashino was a little speechless, and at the same time thought of the vertical banner at the Tokyo Youth Painting Awards, thinking that it could not have been written by Ryuichi Yoshimine, right?

Ryuichi Yoshimine next to him didn't care, and patted Tsukasa Higashino on the shoulder with a smile and said I believe in you very much, you will definitely be able to fight for the face of this school.

He looked enthusiastic about making this vertical banner into a square flag behind him, and contacted Higashino Tsukasa for a while before letting the other party leave, and the words were all hints to Higashino Tsukasa - I keep the recommended place for your Musashino Art University, absolutely don't worry.

This made Tsukasa Higashino also a little moved, he has actually entered Musashino Art University with a guarantee, and now the key is how to get Konoe Ryoka in.

Let's ask Ryuichi Yoshimine another day, and the other party may have a way to get Konoe Lianghua in.

Thinking so, Tsukasa Higashino also turned around and returned home.

"Higashino-sensei! Congratulations on being nominated for the Grand Prize for Artistic Creation and the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award! Nagawa Chimira pulled the paper flower cannon he, and this action directly sprayed Higashino Tsukasa with a paper flower cannon.

She only recently called Higashino Tsukasa 'Teacher', and the reason is very simple: even Kuronomiya Misa is called Higashino Tsukasa Teacher, and it would be a bit chaotic for her to call her junior brother again, so she followed Kuronomiya Misa to call Higashino Tsukasa 'Teacher'.

Higashino Tsukasa inexplicably has another apprentice.

But when he thinks about it, he thinks it's over... You can call it whatever you want to call it, it's just a name.

As for why the other party knew that he had won the prize... This is probably what Yamauchi told her on the first floor, and according to her crazy nature similar to Yumi Takahashi, it is natural that she came here to celebrate him.

"Didn't you have a class this afternoon? Chimei? Higashino asked as he pulled off the paper cannon.

"I have class this afternoon, but I skipped class." Chimeile Nagawa replied hehehe: "I know what class you have taken after you won the award, so hurry up and come over to play... Celebrate. ”

Higashino Tsukasa sighed a little when she heard her words, you didn't actually celebrate me, did you? I just want to come and play.

And this time period... It should be a course on the first floor of Yamauchi, right? Chimi Nagawa is really big-hearted, and she is not afraid of Yamauchi giving her a ruthless time on the first floor, and she won't even let her graduate after graduation.

But forget it, it's a guest.

Tsukasa Higashino entered the room, and then saw all kinds of dishes on the table in the room.

"These are all dishes that Mingsha paid for at the restaurant out of her own pocket." Chimi Nagawa followed behind and explained, "She still has to finish Yamauchi-sensei's class before she comes... Really, I let her skip class. ”

She complained in the back, but Higashino Tsukasa next to her felt that Kuronomiya Misa had a heart.

After all, it is quite troublesome to make a special trip to call this table of food to the door, and depending on the level of refinement, it should cost a lot of money.

Unexpectedly, the big apprentice of Kuronomiya Mingsha had a cold and warm face, and he didn't even have a phone call to congratulate him, but he secretly prepared such a table of dishes.

Yes, indeed! It is not in vain to train you as a teacher.

And seeing Higashino Tsukasa coming back, Higashino Chihaya also jumped and ran to Higashino Tsukasa, talking to him happily.

Her thinking circuit is simple - it must be a good thing to have an extra table of dishes at home.

Chihaya Higashino is certainly happy about this.

Tsukasa Higashino accompanied Chihaya Higashino and Chimi Nagawa to chat for a while, and the apartment doorbell rang again.

It's just that before he could open the door, he heard a quarrel outside the door—

"Stupid! Don't do that! It's going to cause trouble for Higashino-san! Aoi Fujiwara lowered her voice, as if she was grabbing something.

"Ah Kui, you really don't understand anything, so that's why you want to celebrate Mr. Higashino. Don't stop me. Yumi Takahashi didn't care what she said at all.

Higashino Tsukasa was puzzled when he heard this, so he simply reached out and pulled the door, and then saw Yumi Takahashi holding a paper flower cannon in his hand and about to pull it in his face.

But she pulled twice and couldn't pull at all, and her delicate and healthy face was full of strange colors: "Hey? Why can't it be pulled? Did I buy a Squib? ”

Tsukasa Higashino was speechless for a while.

This product is really a brain circuit with Chimi Nagawa, and she also bought a paper flower cannon to pull.

This thing is cool for a while, and it's quite time-consuming to clean, so if you can, don't pull it.

Aoi Fujiwara, who was on the side, was also relieved to see that Yumi Takahashi was unsuccessful, and his face was full of mockery; "I knew that you stupid pig could even buy a paper cannon into a squib-"

Boom!

Before she could finish her sentence, she was sprayed in the face by Yumi Takahashi, who was tinkering with a salute cannon in her face.

"It's really good..."Yumi Takahashi looked at the effect of the salute, her face full of joy.

But compared to her happy face, Fujiwara Aoi next to her was almost so angry that she closed herself, if it weren't for Higashino Tsukasa pulling Fujiwara Aoi, it is estimated that the two of them might have a real Kombat... Fujiwara Aoi can't beat Yumi Takahashi, Yumi Takahashi has been exercising, and she is taller than Fujiwara Aoi, but Yumi Takahashi has always let Fujiwara Aoi, and there is no time to really fight with her.

It is estimated that this is the reason why the two of them, childhood sweethearts, can be friends for a long time.

Tsukasa Higashino stepped aside and smiled and beckoned the two of them into the room, receiving gifts from both of them.

The gift is not expensive, and it is said that Aoi Fujiwara and Yumi Takahashi's parents helped pick it out.

Their parents also knew that they had a relationship with Tsukasa Higashino, and of course they were as good as they were.

A few people walked into the room, and soon Konoe Ryoka and Kuronomiya Akisa, who had finished painting in the studio, also came over.

Now the celebration banquet can be regarded as the official beginning.

Kuromiya Akisa was as silent as ever, and just said, "Congratulations to Higashino for being nominated for the Gold Medal and the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award."

The other compliments and scenes were stunned and didn't say a word.

If this is put on someone else, he will definitely be very dissatisfied with Kuronomiya Mingsha's too quiet performance.

But Higashino Tsukasa knows that Kuronomiya Akira simply doesn't know how to compliment others, and his mind is full of only the character of painting, so he doesn't care much about it.

And Konoe Lianghua is a stuffy gourd, and she can't hold back a good word for a long time, so she secretly glances left and right, and when she finds that no one cares about her, she approaches Higashino Tsukasa and whispers in her ear: "Ace, congratulations." ”

The celebration banquet can be regarded as the official beginning.

Akira Kuronomiya, who was sitting next to her, stared at Tsukasa Higashino's empty bowl, and silently added food to Tsukasa Higashino's bowl respectfully on the edge of the table.

Kuronomiya Akisa's action made Ryoka Konoe still feel a little uncomfortable, after all, Tsukasa Higashino is her boyfriend... Kuronomiya Mingsha's actions full of Zhenggong Fan made her feel in danger.

But this psychological crisis all dissipated when Kuronomiya Mingsha suddenly turned her head and called her, 'Master'.

Konoe Ryoka was still eating with a bowl, but then she suddenly heard this 'Shi Niang', and she glared very simply, grabbed her neck with both hands, and almost choked to death with rice, and drank three glasses of water in a row to barely recover her breath.

She's really embarrassed... After all, she has no ability at all, and this master is indeed a little weak-hearted.

On the other side, Tsukasa Higashino is teasing Chihaya Higashino.

She didn't know what the 'Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award' was, and she kept calling it 'Asa As', and she was curious to ask Higashino if he had won the prize for the competition held in the school, and whether there would be a little red flower and a certificate of merit...

Tsukasa Higashino also told her that it was not an award in the school, and it was a little bigger than the school's award, but it wasn't far behind.

After hearing this, Higashino Chihaya also stood up, gently touched Higashino Tsukasa's head, and his face was full of worry: "Then Ashi shouldn't be proud because he has achieved a little success... Strive to win some big prizes when you grow up! ”

Chimi Nagawa on the other side heard this, but her eyebrows jumped uncontrollably.

Small results... Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award...

It is not too much to say that 99.9 percent of Japanese young people are completely exploded.

Even Akisa Kuronomiya, who Chimi Nagawa has always valued, feels that it is basically impossible for her to win this kind of award in her twenties.

Higashino-sensei is really good.

She sighed and began to eat again.

Bastard, if you don't eat again, you will probably be swept away by Yumi Takahashi and Ryoka Konoe!

......

Two days later, Tsukasa Higashino officially received a message from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Culture: Tsukasa Higashino had indeed won the award.

As he thought, the winning work was none other than 'Kumamon Prefecture Kumamon Design'.

This award is indeed a bonus.

Originally, Higashino thought that it would be the first to win the Japanese Mascot Award - a very famous Japanese mascot selection competition, which has been held for many years, and the mascot selection began in April, and the most popular mascot selection ended in the autumn of October.

The reality is still unexpected.

Tsukasa Higashino shook his head, and at the same time learned the specific date of the award for the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, which is March 13 next week.

It is said that the award ceremony will be broadcast live on NHK's program at that time... It is estimated that many media professionals will interview the winners. (Japan's NHK's status in the TV station is similar to that of China's CCTV).

Tsukasa Higashino's Kumamon award-winning department belongs to the art planning department, which is related to mascot design and graphic design.

And there are very few people who have won awards in this department, and this year Higashino Tsukasa is the only one to win this award, which can be regarded as Higashino Tsukasa's outstanding.

Of course, this move did not escape the eyes of Japanese media people, and many people criticized the Kumamoto prefectural government's deliberate funny efforts to build momentum for Kumamon during the previous Chinese New Year carnival.

But after Kumamon won the award, many people came forward to praise Kumamon and Tsukasa Higashino, saying that Kumamon was well designed and deserved to win the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award. Its face-changing speed is comparable to that of a chameleon.

After learning that Higashino Tsukasa won the award, many people took the initiative to call to congratulate them, including the people of the twilight.

After all, now that the Shinkansen is about to open to traffic, Tsukasa Higashino Kumamon won the award, which is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for them, of course, congratulations.

And then there's the bunch of people at Urashima Press.

Hosokawa Koharu and the editor-in-chief of Urashima came directly to express their gratitude, and at the same time, the editor-in-chief of Urashima on the other side also urged a little embarrassed - Mr. Higashino, your works have been finished for more than a month, and it's time for you to come up with a new work, right?

He sighed for a long time, saying that he was looking forward to Tsukasa Higashino's new work, and Hosokawa Koharu was also speechless and smiling beside him.

Hosokawa Koharu also felt a pity in his heart, if the award was for comics such as "Midnight Bell" or "Winner is Justice", she, the editor, could have followed her to the award venue to see it - that was her dream of becoming a famous editor.

Sending Hosokawa Koharu away, a large number of people from the production team of "Midnight Bell" also called, whether they knew or didn't know, all of them called to congratulate, and even Matsuda Masao, who had been warned once by Higashino Division, laughed and talked to him on the phone for a long time.

This made Tsukasa Higashino can't help but sigh a little, this Japanese workplace is inevitably too realistic.

Their statements made Tsukasa Higashino understand the value of the 'Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award' again.

At this point, even Tsukasa Higashino can't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

After all, success is always intoxicating, no matter what time it is.

But intoxication is intoxication, and Tsukasa Higashino is not fully immersed in success, because it is indeed as Urashima editor-in-chief said, it is almost time for him to come up with a new manga work.

"The Winner is Justice" has been over for a month, and he only has one "Lonely Gourmet" still in serialization, and this free time is really not very comfortable.

He was once again at the stage of thinking about which comic to draw.

While Tsukasa Higashino was thinking like this, it was finally time for the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award Ceremony.

On such a serious occasion, of course, Higashino Tsukasa will not spare money, so he simply went to buy a more decent dress, and tied a bow on his chest, and at a glance, there were really some people who looked like dogs.

On the day of the award ceremony for the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Tsukasa Higashino took a business car specially prepared by the award presenter and headed for the new National Theater of Japan, the destination of the award.

I have to say that the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award is indeed much higher than the Tokyo Youth Painting Awards, which Higashino participated in before.

The entrance of the huge theater was guardrailed, the red carpet was dragged to the car door, and on both sides of the red carpet were reporters and media who were responsible for taking pictures.

This is also the first time that Higashino has seen such a spectacular gathering of people.

The car quickly stopped, and Tsukasa Higashino got out of the car, and then he heard deafening cheers-

"Higashino-sensei is out!"

"Higashino-sensei! Look here! Look here! ”

"I especially like your 'Winner is Justice'!"

"Higashino Group! Higashino Group! ”

Not only the Kumamon decorations, but also the shiny signs such as "Winner is Justice" and the cute version of "Midnight Bell" Sadako were raised.

Brilliant at the same time.

It also made Tsukasa Higashino know about his fan base for the first time...

That's a lot!

And most of them are men?

Something is wrong with you.
