Full-time cartoonist

Chapter 18 Painting "The Soul of Chess"

After tidying up the bedroom, Higashino went downstairs to the living room, which has a wooden floor, a TV, and a sofa.

Takagi Kiko is pestering Yoshii Sanhisa, drinking him.

"Dad said that minors can't drink alcohol, wow!"

The effort of speaking was poured into one mouthful.

"Sorry, Dad..."

The bitter and astringent taste came into his mouth, and Yoshii Sanjiu collapsed on the sofa, his eyes were blank, his shirt changed shape when he was pulled, and his delicate skin was exposed.

Like a teenage girl numb after the fact.

Higashino was stunned for a moment, looking at Takagi Kiko's dangerous eyes, "I have other things to do, so go up first!"

After speaking, he ignored Yoshii Yamahisa's cry for help and ran away.

"I'm sorry, Yamaku-kun, please hate me." Higashino left with guilt on his back.

……

Enter the house, padlock.

Taking out a complete set of tools sent by Mr. Akira Toriyama, as well as the drawn storyboard and blank A3 paper, Higashino filled the desk to the brim.

"It's finally time to start drawing!"

Take a deep breath, grab a pencil and start drafting.

For this comic, he has already made sufficient preparations.

It is also good to be an assistant, or to learn Go.

Now it's time for the hammer to drop!
"The shogi master of the Heian era, Fujiwara Sakai, traveled through distant time and space, and was resurrected in the heart of Shinto Hikari."

"To comprehend the "Hand of God"! "

After he started drawing manga, Higashino kept his ears shut and immersed himself in drawing.

Often at the beginning, it is full of motivation.

In the room, there was the "rustling" sound of pencils, followed by the sound of g-pens smearing after dipping in ink.

In the room of 10 square meters, with the sound of cicadas outside the window, escape into the boundless abyss.

I don't know how long it has passed, Higashino raised his head, the scorching sun has entered the dusk, making the room dim and gloomy.

He looked down, and the last content was a person wearing a long Tang robe with sleeves almost hanging down to the ground, holding a folding fan with his arms outstretched, and a happy person under his downcast eyes——Fujiwara Sakai.

"It feels pretty good." Higashino nodded.

In his opinion, he is no worse than other cartoonists in Jump.

The beginning of "Soul of Chess" is a straightforward narrative, just write the comics well, no need to show off skills.

Draw for a while.

"Mr. Dongye, dinner is ready." Someone knocked on the door.

"Here we come." Higashino replied.

……

Yoshii Sanhisa and Takagi Kiko had already sat down at the dining table, Higashino also sat down.

Udon noodles are set on the table.

The chef took off his apron and sat down at the table with a smile on his face.

She is in the same grade as Higashino Hibiki, her name is Minami Chiharu, she has long blonde hair, a round face and is cute, bright eyes, and a delicate mind.

On weekdays, he is easy to talk and always smiles at everyone.But sometimes, there is also a strong side, like Fan Zhang, the boss of the dormitory, who holds the educational power similar to a mother.

The former Matsushita teacher would often be picked up by her.

Because Ms. Matsushita is so easy to talk, the graduated Aoki-senpai and Takagi Kiko are not fuel-efficient lamps.Even if the game is overdone, Mr. Matsushita often just looks on with a smile and doesn't intervene.

"Mr. Matsushita, why are you just watching!"

Minami Chiharu would accuse like that.

"Higashi-kun, long time no see."

"Student Nan, long time no see."

After saying hello, she asked in surprise, "Why do you think of changing your hairstyle? Isn't the slightly curly hair from before very good?"

"Hey! I really changed my hairstyle!"

"It's board size!"

Only then did Yoshii Sanhisa and Takagi Kiko discover, and they leaned together in front of Higashino Hibiki, looking at it curiously, like an archaeological excavation, wishing they could get a magnifying glass.

Higashino said sincerely: "I used to have a bald mohawk. I regretted it, so I shaved it and grew it into a square inch. Wait for the hair to grow longer, and then change the hairstyle."

"What happened!" Yoshii Sanjiu stood up in surprise, and stroked Higashino's head, "Did you hit your head?"

Higashino slapped his hands away, looked at the udon, and licked his lips, he was hungry.

Takagi Kiko sat down Yoshii Sankyu, put his shoulders on his shoulder and sneered, "You are such an idiot, Higashino is obviously joking, you still take it seriously."

"Hey! It's true!"

Higashino said, "Really."

"It's really a joke..." Yoshii Yamajiu murmured, "That's good."

Higashino rolled his eyes, sure enough attributives are very important.

"Higashi-kun is still the same," Nan Qianchun watched as the farce ended, clasped his hands together, and closed his eyes, "I'm starting."

"I'm starting." ×3
The sound of sucking and sucking is everywhere. The custom in Japan is different from that in China. When eating pasta, you have to make noises. The louder the noise, the more approval you have.

Higashino did as the Romans did, sucking the udon into his mouth in one go from the chopsticks.

Elastic, tough, great taste.

There is umami in the soup, and the taste is very good, which is a rare level.

It's just not as beautiful as Akimiya, Higashino thought carefully.

I still want to eat the meal made by Miss Qiugong again.

"It's very delicious!" Takagi Kiko gave a thumbs up, "It reminds me of my lost youth, the days of running in the sunset in the countryside!"

"This udon is different from the ones sold in supermarkets." Higashino chewed and savored with his eyes closed. "It is more elastic and chewy, and the feeling of eating is too strong."

Nan Qianchun smiled and said, "This is made in my hometown, as long as you like it."

"Delicious!" Yoshii Shanjiu recovered from his senses and nodded again and again, "It's much more delicious than my father's."

"Thank you," Nan Qianchun asked curiously: "Yoshii-kun, isn't your father very busy? How can he have the time to cook for you?"

"This summer vacation, he has been with me," Yoshii Shanjiu smiled foolishly, "It's more time than the past ten years combined."

"Congratulations." Takagi Kiko took the soup and drank it down.

As she spoke, she stood up quietly, preparing to sneak away while no one was paying attention.

"Stop," Nan Qianchun ate the last bite of udon, wiped his mouth gracefully with a paper towel, and then said, "It's time for you to do the dishes this time."

"Isn't it the new semester? How come I do the dishes?"

"July 7th is the last day of graduation. Mr. Higashino will wash the dishes. According to the turn, it should be you."

"I……"

"hurry up."

"Yes."

Sometimes it’s just one thing, Higashino shook his head with a smile, and pushed the bowl and chopsticks to Takagi Kiko, "Please, Takagi-senpai."

"You bastard!"

"I still have something to do, I'll go first."

Higashino patted his ass and left, and continued to create on the second floor.

……

In the bedroom, Higashino thought about it, the three roommates of the original owner are really nice.

After getting along for a day, plus the memory in my head, there is no one who cares about every detail, no one who is jealous.

It is not impossible to serialize comics in the dormitory.

"After Aoki-senpai graduated, "Yoshiwara-so" didn't join the new dormmates. It would be great if the new life teacher is also a kind person, and it's better to know a lot. "
