Chapter 27 Agreement and Awards

Yamamura Morido looked at "Soul of Chess".

Toranojiro, who is close to the professional level, met Fujiwara Sakai, who he thought was the guidance of the gods.

He has been learning Go since he was three years old. He loves Go. He gave up his ego and chose to exist for Fujiwara Sakai.

Zuo Wei, who has been pursuing the hand of God, did not notice this.

1000 years have passed, and he waited for 1000 years before he found someone who could see his soul.

Like a flash flood, he poured out his attachment to Go.

The career was in full swing, until one day when Torajiro was 34 years old, everything came to an abrupt end.

When Tiger Jiro was playing chess, a lot of blood spewed out of his mouth, and the chessboard was covered with blood.

He was seriously ill.

He could no longer play chess for Sakai Fujiwara, and passed away with sadness and apology.

In the end, there is only Fujiwara Sawei left as a lonely soul, waiting for the next meeting with a destined person.

"You didn't do anything!" Yamamura Morido burst into tears, "The gods let Sakai exist in this world. What mission did you have? Torajiro, you didn't do anything!"

"Until the last moment, Toranojiro was still thinking about Sakai Fujiwara...why?"

It was the first time Higashino saw such a sentimental person, and he burst into tears in the noisy venue.

He used to like "Soul of Chess" very much, but it was only when Zuowei disappeared at the end of the manga, his eyes were moist.

"Oh," sighed, Higashino walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and handed him a tissue, "Wipe your tears, pay attention to everyone looking at you."

Yamamura Morido raised his head and looked at the strange gazes from the people nearby. He said indifferently, "Why? Why should I care what other people think? I just do what I want to do."

Saying so, he stood up straight and wiped away his tears.

"Don't think that if you please me, I will agree to be your partner. I have already found the experienced Arai teacher."

"I don't want to draw your "Sun Murder Incident" at all." Higashino shook his head, he looked at "Soul of Chess", and said frankly: "This story is more interesting."

"I admit that "Soul of Chess" is very interesting. It has the beauty of cherry blossoms withering. Whether it is Fujiwara Sakai who committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake, or Toranojiro who died of a serious illness. They all withered at the best moment." Yamamura Morido's eyes turned red up.

"This manga is much better than your "Battle of Gods", just like the bright moon is more luminous than rotten grass. It is also a manga, you should learn more from other people's narrative."

Higashino looked at him strangely, the one who wrote mystery novels was not as good as Asahina Yuko's brain.

"Shancun, you really can't speak."

"I've always been like this." He said proudly.

Higashino was too lazy to communicate with him, "You said you would take the thorn to plead guilty, please prepare the thorn."

"About this, I remembered! I came to the banquet to find you."

"Are you here to apologize?"

"How could I apologize to ordinary people?" Yamamura Shouri shook his head as a matter of course, he scratched his head, and said distressedly: "What I want to say is that we didn't agree on a time last time. What if you serialize it decades later? "

Higashino looked at him helplessly, how much did he look down on the original owner's work?It's been a few decades since one pole was supported.

But seeing how serious he is, he should keep his promise, right?It must have looked good back then.

"Then make an agreement for two and a half years. If you can't serialize within two and a half years, I will admit that I am a mediocre person and not suitable for drawing manga. But if you serialize within two and a half years," Higashino looked down at him, this self-satisfied The bastard, has long been impatient.

"Please sit down and apologize, Yamamura-san."

"Two and a half years? Such a short time?" Yamamura Shoudao was surprised, "But it doesn't matter, let's do it like this."

He held out his little finger, "Come on."

Higashino Hibiki didn't know, so, "What?"

"Pull the hook!"

"……Fine."

Higashino stretched out his little finger and hooked it with him.

"Hanging hooks must not be changed for 100 years, and words must be counted!"

After the agreement, a person with an afro-haired head like Kazuhiko Torishima approached him. He is Mr. Arai, who has been drawing manga for more than ten years.

Although there has never been a hit, but experience is the cornerstone of jump.

With such a person to complete the cooperation with "Wenyi Chunqiu", the editorial department is more at ease.

Yamamura seemed very satisfied, after all, he was the one who proved himself.

After Yamamura Shoudao left, Higashino looked at the bustling crowd, but he had no place for himself.

Akira Toriyama was surrounded by a group of people, spit flying everywhere.

Kazuhiko Torishima is also communicating with Bandai staff.

Sasaki is still working.

They don't have any free time.

Higashino was ignored, and after feeling unfamiliar, he returned to the original place and read other comics.

When the time came, the staff gathered all the staff in the center of the venue, and Horie Nobuhiko stepped onto the stage.

"Welcome everyone. This Tezuka viewing banquet will be hosted by Nobuhiko Horie."

Applause resounded through the empty hall.

"Since [-], the influence of the "Tezuka Award" has grown, and the number of people who love manga has continued to grow. It is really encouraging! "

Higashino looked at the people on the stage with high spirits and joy.

To control the number one comic magazine in the country is indeed an extraordinary achievement.

"The number of submitted manga has increased, and our requirements for works have also increased. Since 1988, there have been no works selected for the "Tezuka Award". It is really a pity."

"But this time, there are very good works.

The teachers of the reviewers all gave great recognition.

Akira Toriyama, the author of "Dragon Ball", said that the author entered the classroom and watched as he was taught by an expert.

The author of "Iron Fist vs. Steel Fist", Mr. Morita Shinfa, thinks that the style of this work is mature and the plot is very exciting.

......"

Higashino's head was buzzing, and he couldn't listen to his follow-up words.

He means? Can "Soul of Chess" be selected?

Looking around in a daze, Akira Toriyama gave him a thumbs up, leisurely;

Yamamura Shoudao's nod of approval;
Akemi Akimiya's face was red, and she looked at herself incredulously, her gaze almost burned Higashino Hibiki;
Sasaki is at work.

"The "Tezuka Award" has unearthed another genius, which is our unanimous approval. "

Higashino looked at him expectantly, said the name, and quickly handed over 100 million to me.

"Ahem, it's almost time, let's start officially.

The style of "Tezuka Award", starting from the best works, there are four in total.

Shang Hui's work is "ARTIST".

Koji Yamagami..."

He's playing tricks again...

Higashino Higashino waited quietly, he heard his heart beating violently.
