Chapter 140 New shoes need to be stepped on three times, friends meet again

After readers saw that Haruko and Hanamichi Sakuragi bought the Nike Jordan 30 basketball shoes worn by the owner of the shoe store for [-] yen, the new issue of Jump arrived as scheduled.

This time a new character appeared, Sakuragi who failed to confess 10 times—Miyagi Ryota.

Ryota Miyagi is 168 cm tall. His hairstyle is shaved short on both sides, with an afro in the middle. I don't doubt that it is to increase the possibility of height.

Facing the provocative four members of the Sakuragi Legion, Liang Tian was not afraid at all, and his expression was jolly and rebellious.

He was hospitalized for fighting for a while, and he just came out of the hospital, and now he is ready to face the challenge again like Brother Pingtou.

Ryota Miyagi stared closely at Yohei Mito, who was the most like the boss in the group of four, and decided to catch Yohei when he was beaten for a while, so it would not be a disadvantage.

Fortunately, this fight did not break out and was resolved by Yang Ping.

Higashihiro's classmate, Takasugi Kazuya, who likes basketball and has a withdrawn personality, is also very devoted to watching it now.

He likes this character very much. Like him, he is relatively short in height, but he is particularly tall, with an aura of being invincible.

It is simply the self that Takasugi Kazuya wants to grow into.

And judging from the conversation between Ayako and Akagi, Miyagi Ryota is also a member of the Shonhoku basketball team, which makes Kazuya Takasugi look forward to it even more.

"What kind of performance will Miyagi Ryota have? According to the current description, he will be the main player! Wow, I really want to see Miyagi Ryota's game."

Thinking of waiting another week for the next episode, Kazuya Takasugi felt itchy.

"Summer vacation is really troublesome. If you are in school, you can ask Mr. Akino Bird."

At this time, he was sitting on a bench in the shade of the park, feeling that the sun was getting hotter, which made him restless.

"Big brother, are these shoes new?"

Takasugi Kazuya looked away from the manga, and there were two little boys in front of him, white T-shirts, shorts, and sun hats. The clothes were dirty, and the white shoes on their feet were covered with mud. They seemed to have just played by the river. Dirty up and down.

Kazuya Takasugi also feels sad for these two children. They will definitely be beaten by their mother when they go back, right?

"Yes, I just bought the aj11 yesterday."

These are the basketball shoes he bought with the rewards he received from the exhibition, which are of special commemorative value.

"Since it's new shoes."

"It must be very hard, it will wear out your feet."

The two little ghosts looked at each other and smiled, and stepped on Kazuya Takasugi's AJ11 with dirty shoes, and the soles were rubbed three times.

"Huh?" Kazuya Takasugi was also taken aback.

The two children seized the opportunity and ran away in a hurry, saying as they ran, "We will step on the soft feet for you. You need to step on new shoes three times. Don't thank us!"

Gao Sugikazu also saw the muddy footprints on the new shoes, and his heart ached to death. He quickly picked off two leaves and wiped the shoe prints.

"Damn kid, my new shoes!" Takasugi was heartbroken.

……

On Tuesday, in the editorial department of "Weekly Shonen Jump", Kazuhiko Torishima looked at the flash report and nodded with satisfaction.

"After the "Slam Dunk" game, although the popularity has declined, it is within the expected range, not bad, um, not bad."

He is happier.

Not only the competition, but also the charm of the daily plot, which proves that "Slam Dunk" is not a sudden success, and this achievement can continue.

"Tokyo is really hot."

"I want to travel to Hokkaido."

Editor Asada and editor Yahagi passed under Torishima Kazuhiko's eyes, and the two of them whispered.

Kazuhiko Torishima raised his head and suddenly remembered, "Have Yoshihiro Togashi gone to the ski resort in Sapporo? Such a reckless author is really too much."

Thinking of Togashi Yoshihiro, Torishima Kazuhiko hated him deeply.

The most unexpected manga artist is Yoshihiro Togashi.

He is a pitiful Nobuhiko Horie.

Although Horie Nobuhiko was transferred to other magazine departments on a regular basis, how could other manga magazines compare with Jump?
"Fortunately, I bet on Akino Tori, a hard-working cartoonist who has not had a break for more than two years."

Tori Akino double-published "The Garden of Words", and almost fell ill from exhaustion. Torishima Kazuhiko knew it. Under such circumstances, the serialization was still guaranteed, so Torishima Kazuhiko was very pleased.

"Mr. Torishima."

Someone called him, Kazuhiko Torishima looked over, it was Sasaki Sho.

"Oh, Sasaki." Torishima Kazuhiko handed him the report, ""Slam Dunk" is in No.3, very good."

"Yes, I understand," Sasaki said after hesitating for a while, "There is one thing that I think I need to inform you."

"What?" Torishima Kazuhiko asked.

"It's about Tori Akino-kun." Sasaki's face was heavy, which made Torishima Kazuhiko uneasy.

"What's the matter?" Torishima Kazuhiko asked.

"He informed me that he would take a break from publication for a week." Sasaki said in a deep voice.

"What!" Torishima Kazuhiko couldn't believe it, "Why did you suspend the publication?"

Sasaki said: "I said I wanted to accompany my family. After all, it has been serialized for so long, and the relationship with my family has become estranged."

"Yes." Torishima Kazuhiko nodded, but he could understand.

It’s not that I’m too tired and don’t want to draw, or that I don’t have new ideas.

but……

Kazuhiko Torishima suggested, "You can draw two pages less."

The popularity of "Slam Dunk" is just right now, and there will be a big problem if the rhythm is interrupted by an abrupt suspension.

In the past, I drew 19 pages a week, but this week I drew 17 pages, leaving half a day free, which is the best of both worlds.

"Also, if he gets used to it, enjoys it, and becomes lazy because of the suspension this time, it will be bad." Torishima Kazuhiko said worriedly.

"I'm afraid it's too late," Sasaki looked at the sky, "The Higashino family has already boarded the plane to Sapporo."

……

Hokkaido, Sapporo, the summer weather here is very cool, which makes the Higashino family very comfortable. It is really a happy thing to come from the hot Tokyo to Sapporo, where the temperature is around 25 degrees.

Higashino has no impression of Sapporo.

What he knew about Sapporo from the Internet was that it is the administrative center of Hokkaido, a holy place for sightseeing, and there are many delicious foods, so he chose here.

Although the most lively time in Sapporo is the snow festival from January to March, it is also a good thing to come to the Northland in summer.

First, I went to the big hotel Higashino booked nearby.

Looking at the magnificent hall, Higashino Xi felt a little distressed about Qian. Although he didn't say anything, he frowned.

She was used to being frugal, but she couldn't get used to Higashihito being rich for a while.

In the room Higashino Hibiki ordered.

Mei Higashino didn't have a job recently, so she also followed. She looked extraordinarily excited, and threw herself on the big bed.

Sitting in the living room of the hotel room, Higashino Shio was uncomfortable. Seeing the appearance of Higashino Mei, he admonished: "It's rude to go to bed without taking off your shoes."

"Yeah!" Mei nodded, I knew I was wrong, but I just didn't change it.

After a while, Mei began to snore, and she fell asleep.

Higashino Shio had no choice but to go out to the opposite room and tell Higashino Ichiro and Higashino Hibiki.

"Let her sleep first." Higashino Ichiro said, "Actually, I'm a little sleepy too, and I have the energy to play Sapporo after I sleep."

For cheap air tickets, the Higashino family waited at the airport early in the morning.

So it's normal, so it's decided.

Everyone else was taking a nap, Higashino was used to being tired, but he was in good spirits.

So he decided to go to a place in his free time.

In the Faculty of Agriculture of Hokkaido University in Sapporo, a friend whom I haven’t seen for a long time is studying here, and I haven’t returned to Tokyo even during the summer vacation. Hibiki Higashino misses him very much.

……

It can only be said that it is worthy of the Faculty of Agriculture, and the space is amazing. Compared with it, Musashino is like a one-bedroom apartment in a courtyard.

If he hadn't contacted Nishimura in advance, Higashino would never have been able to find him, nor would he have been able to enter the Department of Agriculture.

There are experimental fields for students from the Department of Agriculture, as well as some free-range large livestock, even horses, so it is natural to worry about outsiders making trouble or accidents.

"Long time no see! Higashino!"

As soon as they met, Nishimura hugged him.

Higashino Hibiki was very moved and hugged him tightly.

But soon, he pushed Nishimura out.

His nostrils fluttered, Higashino sniffed, and there was an unpleasant smell of livestock dung.

"It stinks!"

"Is there?" Nishimura was at a loss, he sniffed his collar, "There is no smell?"

"You're already used to it." Higashino looked at him with relief and shook his head.

The color of Xicun in front of him has darkened a little, and he looks much stronger and very energetic. Compared with his high school days, he is a completely different person.

Farming is a good method, and it really can make people grow quickly.

The two strolled in the Faculty of Agriculture and walked for more than ten minutes, but they still didn't reach their destination.

"It's summer vacation, why don't you go back to Tokyo? Kitamoto really misses you too." Higashino asked curiously.

"I also want to go back to Tokyo," said Nishimura, "I'm gone, what should I do with it?"

"It?" Higashino misunderstood Nishimura's girlfriend because of the Japanese pronunciation, "What is it?"

"My pig!" Nishimura gave a thumbs up, "I named it "Napoleon"!You must meet it, I told it a lot of stories between us. "

"The school staff will take care of "Napoleon" during the summer vacation, but I am worried that it will not be taken care of well and will be neglected.After all, the first and second graders have arrangements for raising pigs. "Napoleon" is very picky eater, so I'm really worried that he will starve and lose weight. "

Higashino never thought that one day Nishimura would have such a deep relationship with a pig.

"I have raised Napoleon for more than a year, and of course there will be affection. "

After another ten minutes passed, I came to the pig house.

The air smelled like feed, Higashino subconsciously frowned.

Sensing someone coming in, the pigs all cried out "humming".

It seems to say, "It's time for dinner! It's time for dinner!"

Nishimura ignored it, and brought Higashino Hibiki straight to a three-yuan pig.

"Wow, it's so big!" Higashino exclaimed.

It reminded him of the pig killing feast when he was a child, and his eyes lit up.
