Chapter 211 Let Me Eat Dessert

Two smooth thighs, crossed and stacked together.

One hand spread up until it reached the side of the thigh, blocked by the red shorts.

The skin on her thighs quickly turned pink and was surprisingly hot.

The master was trembling all over, biting his lip, unable to speak.

She continued to reach out, spreading deeper...

……

"Dongye, Dongye."

Today is Christmas, after wandering around outside, Akemi Akimiya returned to her dormitory, put down the clothes she bought, and then came to Higashino's dormitory.

As soon as she entered the door, it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything clearly, so she couldn't help calling out.

Fumbling to turn on the light at a familiar location, Daming who "huh" the living room, it was really empty and no one was there.

"What did he do?" Akimiya Mingmei was curious.

Obviously the two returned to the dormitory together, but when they turned around, they disappeared.

The bedroom door was closed, Akemi Akimiya knocked, waited for more than ten seconds, but no one answered, she turned the doorknob and walked in.

I saw Higashino Higashino, wearing a Christmas uniform, sitting on the edge of the bed with his head lowered.

"Pfft." Akemi Akimiya couldn't help laughing, feeling the joy of flirting with beautiful women in her heart, she walked to Higashino Hibiki, and stretched out her hand.

It was really cool tonight.

……

On January 1, 8, Higashino came to a big hotel.

This time he still came alone.

"I don't know when I will be able to attend Shueisha's New Year's party with Ms. Akimiya."

Higashino couldn't help thinking.

She has always wanted to create her own.

Before the independent serialization, I couldn't see her at the New Year's party.

After arriving at the scene, before Higashino had time to take a sip of water, he was pulled aside by someone. He exclaimed in surprise, only to find out that it was Yoshihiro Tomikin.

"You really scared me, Mr. Fujian." Higashino patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sorry," Tomihiro Yoshihiro smiled all over his face, showing a different expression from usual, "Because I'm too impatient, thinking about this matter, I still have to invite you."

"What's wrong?" Higashino was curious.

"Well," Fu Jian said shyly, "How should I say it? I'm getting married."

"Hey!" Higashino was surprised, "Are you getting married so soon? Oh, yes, you are not young anymore."

Fu Jian's face turned black, and he managed to maintain a smile, "Anyway, you must be there, please."

He stuffed the invitation into the hands of Higashino Hibiki, and turned to find the editor Takahashi Junchang.

Higashino Hibiki was on the spot, looked at the invitation card, with a smile on his face: "Congratulations."

……

Higashino Hibiki was finally able to drink his saliva. He drank mineral water and looked at the desserts on the plate. He was a little weak recently and needed to supplement nutrition.

how to say?Anyway, that's it.

Picking up a piece of cake, it was covered with plump strawberries and pink cream, and there was a greasy sweet smell, which made him move his index finger.

Sometimes it's nice to be sweet, isn't it?

Lifting the knife and fork, Higashino raised his hands high, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he was about to start.

At this moment, someone patted him on the shoulder with a smile in his mouth.

"You are getting better and better now."

Higashino turned around, "Teacher Akira Toriyama, long time no see."

It's been a long time since I saw Akira Toriyama at the New Year's meeting for the last time, and Higashino even forgot when it was.

In short, after almost two or three years, he seems to have not changed much, but looks younger.

"Mr. Toriyama, what are you here for today?" Higashino asked curiously.

He goes to the Triple Treasure Hall for nothing.

"You can sign it for me," Toriyama Akira stretched out a signature board and handed it to Higashino Hibiki.

"I actually have such a day?" Higashino was surprised, and took the paper and pen, "It feels like my identities are intertwined."

Akira Toriyama sat down beside Higashi Higashi, and sighed, "I can't help it either."

Higashino held the pen and paper, kept his hands still, and looked at him with probing eyes.

Akira Toriyama couldn't help urging: "Hurry up and write."

"What should I write?" Higashino asked back.

"It's just something like 'study hard and make progress every day'. "

Higashino nodded, and wrote "Why sleep for a long time in life, and sleep forever after death."

"At your age, you can sleep well!"

He finally signed the pseudonym Mirai Tori Akino, nodded in satisfaction, and proudly handed it to Akira Toriyama.

Akira Toriyama had black lines all over his face, "What kind of mess did you write?"

But forget it, he still put it away.To put it bluntly, it was because his son liked watching "Slam Dunk" very much, that's why he came here.

Then Akira Toriyama asked: "Is Oda-kun there? He is your former assistant, right?"

Higashino glanced at the New Year's party, but didn't find Oda.

It happened that Asada, the editor of Eiichiro Oda, was passing by wearing a frog doll while holding the head of a frog doll.

Higashino stood up and stopped him, "Mr. Asada, is Oda-kun here?"

Asada Takanori had an ugly expression on his face, and asked back: "If Oda is present, will I still accept the punishment?"

He sighed, and said faintly: "He is drawing manga with all his heart, saying that he doesn't want to engage in unnecessary activities."

After finishing speaking, Asada Takanosu turned around, his leaving back was desolate.

"Anyway, that's it." Higashino said to Akira Toriyama.

It's such a pity, finally had the opportunity to meet the idol, but Oda didn't show up.

"Then there is no other way," Akira Toriyama scratched his head.

"By the way," before leaving, Akira Toriyama thought of something, and said, "I've seen "[-] Centimeters per Second" created by you and Akimiya-kun together. It's really an interesting work."

He gave a thumbs up, "The story is meaningful, and the painting is also very good. I think it is better than "The Confession Room."

"Thank you." Higashino nodded.

"But it's probably because of that," Akira Toriyama laughed and said, "Mr. Akimiya also contacted me and asked me what I think of you, and I told the truth."

"You...do you have contact with Mr. Akimiya?"

"Of course, when I held an exhibition of my works in Tokyo, wasn't I in the Akimiya Art Museum? That's why I got in touch. He looked very arrogant, but he was still easy to talk to. We sometimes communicated, such as the color of paint. The problem."

Higashihito suddenly realized that when Akira Toriyama was working, because he lived in the country, he could not buy complete paints.

He took out the colored ink of the oil-based pen and used it to color the comics.

It looks unique and has a unique style.

"No! No!" Higashino patted his cheeks to calm himself down, and he asked in a panic, "Then what did you say?"

"Are you feeling unwell?" Akira Toriyama asked with concern, and Higashino strongly expressed that there was no problem.

"Okay," Toriyama Akira said, "I told him, you are down-to-earth, hardworking, and talented..."

"That's all?" Higashino asked happily.

"Also, um," Toriyama Akira thought about it, "he has a personality and will do unexpected things."

"Am I like this!" Higashino panicked.

"Hahaha, after all, it is rare for you to come to see me with a bald head like you at a young age. It really surprised me at that time. Hahaha."

He laughed and left.

Higashi Higashi was left alone, with a large bead of sweat running across his forehead.

……

"Tori Akino-sensei, what's wrong with you?"

I don't know how long it has passed, someone's hand waved in front of Higashino Hibiki.

Higashino came back to his senses, looked at the person in front of him, and squeezed out a smile: "Mr. Gaoqiao and Xi, hello."

"Are you OK?"

"I have nothing to do, what do you do?"

"I do have something to talk about, excuse me."

Sitting next to Higashino Hibiki, Takahashi and Nozomi talked about their distress.

"Last year, the broadcast of the anime "Yu-Gi-Oh" and Bandai's "Magic and Wizardry Cards" cards did not improve the performance of the booklet. "

"The 11th volume of "Yu-Gi-Oh" released last month, the first edition is only 27, I am very worried that it will be cut in half."

Since it was serialized in 1996, he is still troubled by the cut in half.

This is the norm for cartoonists on jump.

Even top cartoonists worry about this.

Many well-known works were cut in half in the end.

Higashino understands Takahashi and Nozomi's worries.

After all, there are animation productions, and the results are still not ideal. After the peripherals, the IP value performance is also mediocre.

Jump has great expectations for "Yu-Gi-Oh." Under such disappointment, it is very likely that the work will be cut in half.

Higashino has been reading "Yu-Gi-Oh", the game uses chestnut balls and black chaos magicians to defeat Pegasus and rescue his grandfather.

"Your worry is unnecessary." Higashino said: "I saw on TV that the theatrical version of "Game King" is in production, which shows that Jump has not given up on this work, and is still developing its value."

"It is because of this that it is even more uncomfortable."

He is worried that the results are still not satisfactory, and the investment is in vain.

"Bandai resold the copyright of the card to Konami, and the new card is being drawn. If it is the same as last year..."

"Konami!" Higashino was startled.

"Your time has come."

He solemnly said to Takahashi and Xi.

Although Konami is not a human being, it has indeed made a great contribution to the Yu-Gi-Oh card.

"Mr. Bird Akino, I want to ask your opinion, please." Takahashi Kazuki still asked.

"Well," Higashino thought for a while, "The big problem with "Game King" is that the rules of the card game are not perfect."

He made an analogy, "For example, the number of stars of a card represents the defensive power and attack power. If they can be used directly, then the high-star card is too strong.

On the contrary, low-star cards have no value in existence. If they can form constraints and form combos, then they will be playable. "

Make the rules of the card so that it can be played in reality, and cancel the nonsense plot of "rock giants attack the opposite moon magic card, causing the sea to ebb and make the opposite aquatic monster self-destruct", that is the future of "Yu-Gi-Oh" .

Takahashi and Xi were thoughtful, he bowed respectfully and thanked him.

"I understand."

……

Hibiki Higashino can finally have his cake and eat it.

In the new year, jump stopped publishing, and I can rest for a week, so I don't need to work as an assistant. Akemi Akimiya went home.

He didn't bother to cook, he wanted to have a good meal at night, but he was interrupted all the time, and everyone was a teacher and senior, so he couldn't answer the conversation while eating the cake.

That would be impolite.

The cake stayed close in front of him, and the smell kept hitting his nostrils. Higashino endured it for a long time, and he picked up the knife and fork again.

"Tori Akino-kun," someone called him.

Higashino's face wrinkled into a ball, "Who is it?"

Looking back, it turned out to be Hirohiko Araki.

This teacher also taught him.

Higashino sighed helplessly.

"Mr. Araki, nice to meet you."

"You have a bitter face, but it doesn't seem like you want to see me."

He joked: "It's just that I lost to me in the short comic competition. As for being entangled to this day?"

"It's not because of this," Higashino pouted.

""Confessions" is very beautiful, and my mood has changed several times. Teacher, your short stories are really amazing."

Araki Hirohiko's characteristic is wisdom, he can see the thunder in the subtleties.

His sculpting skills are extraordinary, and he is simply invincible in short stories.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Araki Hirohiko patted Higashino Hibiki on the shoulder and left.

Higashino Hibiki was surprised, "He shouldn't, he just came here to say hello just because he wanted to hear some flattery from me."

"If it's true, then Araki-sensei is too naive."

It's just a mere [-] small positives, there's no need to vent your anger.

"What a cheapskate."

……

Higashino Hibiki didn't think about him, and looked around, but there was no one he knew.

With an expectant expression on his face, he rubbed his hands together and gradually turned his head towards the cake.

But in the corner of his eye, Higashino saw a person.

He strode towards him in stride.

A tear fell from the corner of Higashino Hibiki's eye.

The visitor is very senior, he is the teacher of "Saint Seiya" Kurada Masami, and Higashino Hibiki's friend - Hiroshi Motomiya.

Therefore, Higashino could only put down the cake.

"What's the matter? Teacher Bengong?"

"I'm really happy today." He beamed.

There was a long speech to be said, so Higashino stood up and listened attentively.

"Last year, the "Joint Declaration on the Establishment of China-Japan Friendship and Cooperative Partnership" was signed. This is a good thing, and friendly people from the two countries are making continuous efforts."

"Prime Minister Obuchi also advocates Sino-Japanese friendship."

"His daughter, Ms. Yuko Obuchi, donated 100 billion yen to establish the "Obuchi Green Fund" to aid China's afforestation.Over the past year, there have been more and more Sino-Japanese friendship activities in Tokyo, which is really good. "

"When I came here today, I also saw a Chinese lion dance on the streets of Tokyo, so I really wanted to have a drink or two and talk to someone."

Hiroshi Bengong said very happily, but Higashino Hibiki refused.

He had a lot to say, and finally heaved a long sigh.

Everyone knows what they know, so there is no need to say more.

Higashino Hibiki was in a waning mood, and Hiroshi Bengong was surprised, thinking that Higashino Hibiki was in a bad mood, so he didn't say much.

After he left, Higashino was no longer in the mood to eat cake.

Within 2 minutes, Higashino felt that eating was still important.

But at this moment, a waiter came to Higashihiro and whispered.

"Hello, sir, the Shueisha New Year's Party has officially started, please come to the venue to gather."

"Okay... okay. Thank you."

Higashino gritted his teeth as his stomach made a faint sound.

　Thank you for the hard-to-break love of 500 points.
