Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 235 Embarrassment and Jianyeshan
"In the summer of 1993, in the "Weekly Shonen Jump" manga awards, I accidentally saw a selected work, the name is "Battle of Gods."

"Yeah, it's really an ordinary work, with an inexplicable plot, poor storytelling, can't think of a specific battle scene, and the battle ends after one shot. There's also a lot of text, which is very annoying to watch. The close-up of characters is terrible. , the same. It can be said that "Battle of the Gods" has nothing to do with this comic except for its good drawing."

Kazuhiko Torishima talked non-stop, spitting everywhere, getting more and more excited, and Higashino's face became darker and darker.

The black history was told in public, but I couldn't stop it, I really wanted to dig a hole to get in.

Akira Toriyama was grinning in the audience, he had seen "Battle of the Gods", and it was much worse than his debut "Rajack Mystery".

This disciple is getting stronger and stronger, and with his status, it is rare to see his embarrassment.

Yamamura Shoudao pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

The editor-in-chief Torishima suddenly mentioned this matter, could it be that the author of "Battle of the Gods" is...

He suddenly wanted to laugh out loud.

"That's right, just as everyone thinks," Torishima Kazuhiko said with a smile, "The author of "Battle of the Gods" is none other than Mirai Tori Akino."

"Huh?" Everyone was surprised.

This is the future of Tori Akino.

Feeling being questioned, Torishima Kazuhiko became stubborn, ""The Battle of Gods" is Tori Akino's debut work."

He took out a portfolio, pulled out a manuscript, and read it.

"Don't..." Higashino subconsciously stretched out a hand, trying to stop it.

Akimi pressed Higashino's arm to make him quieter, and at the same time pricked up her ears, listening curiously.

She doesn't even know this manga.

Torishima Kazuhiko spoke in a tone like reciting a poem, "Kurata Isi, you are the savior of mankind, the fate of defeating the gods is in your hands, the heaven and the earth witness, I..."

Dongye Xiangting's scalp was numb, he covered his ears and buried his head in the flowers.

"Pfft." Qiugong Mingmei covered her mouth and couldn't help laughing.

The guests who came down from the stage also laughed amicably.

The scene was full of cheerful atmosphere.

Eiichiro Oda opened his mouth wide, "It turns out Mr. Akino Tori also has mediocre works."

Kishimoto Masashi also clenched his fists, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Hahaha." Yamamura Shoudao laughed loudly.

The sound was so loud that it reached Higashihiro's ears.

Higashino looked over angrily, and found that Yamamura Shoudao did it on purpose, and he was venting.

Who knows the pain in the mountain village?
He has been suppressed by Tori Akino Mirai since he drew manga, and he has no hope of winning at all.

"Soul of Chess" and "Slam Dunk" are all his unattainable works, and the recently completed "Millennium Actress" completely crushed him in terms of artistry.

Yamamura Shoudao really wanted to let out a long sigh.

That is, Shengshan Village, He Shengniaoqiuye.

Painful, so painful!
I can only take advantage of this time to comfort my hurt heart.

Higashino looked at the mountain village speechlessly.

Just like what the teacher said when he was in school, he could see clearly on stage.

Shancun laughed and saw all his tonsils. Is he so happy to make him happy?

His wife, Yamamura Hidemi, tugged at Yamamura Shoudao, and he restrained himself.

"Ahem, that's what happened," Torishima Kazuhiko finished with a smile under Higashino Hibiki's eyes that turned from embarrassment into anger.

His expression became serious: "It's Bird Akino who started like this, but he has grown rapidly in a short period of time. Two months later, I saw his new work, and the name of that work is-" Soul of Chess."

The wedding guests were in awe.

This work, which has a strong influence on society, is definitely a classic that will not fade with the passage of time.

Bird Akino's growth in the future is astonishing, as if he has changed into a different person.

"Every time I meet with Tori Akino in the future, I will gain something new."

"After "Dragon Ball" ended, "Soul of Chess" was Jump's most popular work for a while."

Morimichi Yamamura pursed his lips, lost in memory.That was the first time he felt hopeless.

"When the results of "Soul of Chess" were very good, Akino Tori chose to finish this work in a timely manner. This is something that many people can't understand."

"Then, he pulled out his second work, which was 'Slam Dunk.'"

"Tori Akino Mirai has thus become a super-popular manga artist, the pillar of Jump, and the savior of Jump."

"Recalling his creative process along the way, I have to sigh his growth and talent."

"I look forward to his future works, which must be more unconstrained and interesting comics."

The audience burst into applause.

Kazuhiko Torishima was reminiscing about the past with Hibiki Higashino, and it was only at this time that he remembered that it was the wedding scene.

He hurriedly spoke the language of blessings according to what he had learned by cramming.

The scene is proceeding in an orderly manner.

……

After the banquet was over, after eating the cake, accepting everyone's blessings, and seeing off the guests, Higashino finally married Akemi Akimiya successfully at this time.

Higashino was overjoyed.

It's just the old man's gaze before he left, which made him shudder.

The Higashino family stayed, and when Hibiki Higashino and Akemi Akimiya were inconvenient, they ended the wedding perfectly as the hosts.

"Sister Qiugong, isn't this wedding too crude?"

Mei Higashino hugged Akemi's arm, whispering in a low voice, fighting for Akemi's injustice.

"From now on, I will be called Elder Sister Higashino." Akemi Akimiya said with a gentle smile, "As for the wedding, I decided it."

Mei Higashino opened her mouth in disbelief, "Why, this is a once-in-a-lifetime romance."

Akemi Akimiya shook her head, "I don't care about the wedding. As you know, manga is more important to Higashino and to me."

Higashino Ichiro nodded heavily, he understood that Akemi Akimiya was so suitable for Higashino Hibiki.

No one is more tolerant than her.

Facing weekly cartoonists who have to work every day, family harmony is the most important thing.

"A brief tour is still needed." Higashino Shio said with a smile.

Manoyama near Tokyo would be a good fit.

After staying in the big city for a long time, taking advantage of this opportunity of getting married, it is good to have a good rest in the countryside, breathe fresh air, draw materials from comics, and change your mind.

Seeing the hesitant Akemi Akimiya, Shio Higashino persuaded, "Sometimes I can't draw manga, maybe it's because my thinking is limited by staying in one place."

This sentence moved Akemi Akimiya, she nodded, "Good mother."

……

Of course, there is no rush to leave on the day of the wedding.

They went back to their home again.

Now there is no need to hang such a long house number as "Higano-Akimiya".

At the door of Higashino's house, Higashino and Akemi Akimiya saw Mrs. Nakajima, she held a gift box and smiled at Yan Yan: "I wish you a happy wedding."

Akimi bowed and took it with both hands, "Thank you for your blessing."

She seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and when the Dongye couple came home, she gave the gift immediately.Higashino is very grateful.

"I won't disturb the happy moments between you." Mrs. Nakajima covered her mouth with a smile and retreated into the room.

Akemi Akimiya blushed brightly.

After returning to the living room, Akemi Akimiya let out a long sigh of relief.

Today, she was tense during the process, but now facing the familiar environment, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

She had just rested for a while, her hands were itchy, and she sat down at the work table.

Higashino couldn't help laughing, "Who would draw manga on the day of their wedding?"

"Because I'm very inspired right now," Akemi Akemi said of course.

She told Higashino Hibiki not to disturb herself, but to draw manga seriously.

Hiroshi Tono nodded.

Outside the window, the sky was full of sunset, with a dim light, Higashino watched quietly Akemi Akimiya's work.

Serious women are also handsome.

Occasionally Higashino stepped forward to give pointers.

This time, Akemi Akimiya made some progress in the storyboard.

But it seems that there is still a long way to go before serialization.

Hibiki Tono thought.

By ten o'clock in the evening, it was already dark.

"Shouldn't you be sleeping? Minmei."

Higashino held Akemi's left hand to prevent her from taking the eraser.

Akemi Akimiya said, "Please wait for me a little longer."

"It's already ten o'clock in the evening," Higashino reminded.

"Hey!" Akimi looked up, only to find that the whole world was so quiet.

Higashino Hibiki was looking at himself burningly.

It seemed that he could hear the violent beating of his heart.

"Boom! Boom!"

This aggressive gaze made Akimi bow her head shyly.

Higashino Hibiki said, "Let's go take a bath, I've already put the water away."

Holding Akimi's hand, he slowly walked into the bathroom.

Today, a lot is unlocked.

……

"Thank you."

When getting off the bus, Higashino waved to the driver to thank him.

The driver took off his hat and raised it high in response.

From Tokyo to Janoyama, after taking the tram to the bus, I have to take the small town bus twice a day.

There was still more than an hour before the departure time, and Higashino and Akemi Akimiya were determined to wait for a long time, but the old driver took the initiative to send Higashino and his wife to the town.

"I haven't seen tourists for a long time, everyone must be very happy." That's what he said.

Higashino panicked all of a sudden.

Jianye Mountain was a well-known mountain in the past, not because of the beautiful scenery on it, but because of the unique culture of the town here.

But because of the changes of the times, the town lost its former prosperity and became unknown, no different from ordinary towns.

Higashino Shio looked at things with old eyes, so he had to book the hotel here.

It was noon, and the hotel was in the trade center of the town.

However, when the Dongye couple arrived, there was no one in the trade center at all.

Even the shutter doors are closed, and few shops are open for business.

Higashino Hibiki and Akemi Akimiya looked at each other, which was far from what they thought.

"Let's ask about the location first." Higashino reluctantly spoke.

When I came to the door of a supermarket, the store manager was just chasing flies away.

When the Dongye couple walked into the gate, there was a "ding dong" doorbell.

"Ah, it's a strange customer!" The store manager stood up.

"Sorry to bother you." Higashino bowed.

The shopkeeper waved his hand, "It's okay, since the economic bubble burst, I rarely see tourists, and I reacted too much. Do you have anything to do?"

He can see that this couple is not here to buy things.

"I want to ask how to get to Anji Hotel."

"Anji's house, go out and turn right..."

When the store manager was talking, a short-haired girl ran in, and when she rushed to the front desk, the doorbell made a "jingle" sound.

"Uncle Imaizumi, do you still have jumps!"

"Nanase, you are too reckless, there are guests here."

"Ah," she noticed the Dongye couple now, clasped her hands together and tilted her head, "I'm sorry, I didn't scare you."

"It's okay." Akemi Akimiya shook her head friendly.

The girl in front of her has short hair, delicate face, lively and cheerful, which is not in harmony with the lifeless Jianye Mountain.

The store manager Imaizumi brought the jump and coaxed the girl Nanase, "This is the jump, you go to the side."

"Yes." Nanase raised the jump and said loudly.

She walked aside and didn't leave, and immediately looked at it eagerly.

The store manager Imaizumi said: "Let's continue the topic just now, you are going to Anji's house, after you go out, go right to the second intersection..."

"Hey! "Slam Dunk" is on hiatus! Damn bird Akino!"

Manager Imaizumi didn't speak for a long time, and the sound of gnashing of teeth sounded from the side.

"The game is at a critical time, how can Akino Bird suspend the publication in the future? Damn it! I have been waiting for a whole week!"

She stomped her feet with a jump, her hair fluttering.

"Nanase, you!" Imaizumi pointed at Nanase, his body trembling.

But Nanase ignored him and focused on jump.

"Ah, it turns out that Teacher Akino is married and is going on a honeymoon trip with his wife. The teacher is married, I wish him a happy wedding." The girl opened her mouth and smiled sweetly.

Higashino smiled and nodded, "Thank you."

"You are..." Nanase finally realized.

Higashino Hibiki introduced, "This is my wife, we went to Jianye Mountain for a honeymoon trip."

Akemi Akimiya responded with a smile.

With her back to the cash register, Nanase put the jump on it with her hands behind her back, pushed it to the store manager Imaizumi, and said calmly, "It's the same as Mr. Akino Tori."

Higashino replied: "Naturally."

Nanase didn't care, and slowly walked away from the cash register, with a guilty conscience, "Where are you going? I'll take you there."

"Nanase! Don't think I didn't see it!" The store manager Imaizumi shuddered, "Jump cannot be returned after unpacking, pay me!"

"Hmph!" Nanase was very angry, and after trying all the tricks, she still bought Jump.

……

After leaving the supermarket, the girl Nanase introduced herself, "My name is Nanase Yui, a local. After graduating from university, I returned to my hometown."

"I am Higashino Hibiki, and she is my wife, Higashino Akemi."

"Hirobi Higashino, I'm a little familiar." Nanase covered her head, thinking in distress.

"It's fine if you can't remember it," Higashino said, "You graduated from university, I thought you were a high school student."

With an immature face, he doesn't look like an adult at all.

"I can't help it." Nanase complained, "I'm like this, with a baby face, and it's hard to find a job, so I have to come back."
