Full-time cartoonist

Chapter 38
"It seems that you really like Yamamura's books," Higashino looked at Nan Qianchun, "but I don't need you to sign for me."

Nan Qianchun straightened her body and was very curious, "What do you mean?"

"Didn't I just say I was going out?" Higashino raised his head, Sasaki had contacted him two days ago, "Today is Shueisha's New Year's party, and I was also invited.

And Yamamura informed that he would come with Shueisha's driver.Then you can tell him yourself. "

"Very good!" Nan Qianchun nodded heavily, looking very happy.

Higashino liked to read Lu Yao's books when he was a child. At that time, he thought how happy he would be if he could meet Lu Yao and get his autograph.

Minami Chiharu probably has this mentality now.

"As for the two of you," he looked at Takagi Kiko and Yoshii Yamahisa, "give me the booklets in your collection, if I can meet today, I will."

"Okay!" Takagi Kiko cheered loudly, her room was on this floor, and after a short while following the sound of running, she took out the sixth volume of Arale's booklet.

"If possible, please sign Mr. Kazuhiko Torishima, in the name of Dr. Marcilet."

Higashino looked at Kiko Takagi speechlessly, and he naturally understood that Kazuhiko Torishima hated being considered Dr. Marcilet.

"Okay," Higashino gritted his teeth and nodded with difficulty.

Yoshii Sanhisa also brought a separate volume of "Yu Yu Hakusho".

Higashino took the pamphlet with his expectant eyes, when the phone rang.

"Is it okay to go to the residence of Mirai-sensei Tori Akino? Thank you for your kindness today. I am Tanaka from Metropolitan Transportation."

Higashino looked at the time, and it was 15 minutes before the appointment. The address he left at Shueisha was "Yoshihara-so", so he replied, "Well, it's troublesome. But isn't it too early?"

"I arrived early to avoid being late, sorry."

"Yeah, I'm not blaming, um, thank you Mr. Tanaka, I'll go out right away."

After hanging up the phone, Higashino put on his coat, put two pamphlets in his pockets, and glanced at Akemi Akimiya.

She smiled and shook her head.

Higashino knew that she hoped that she could participate in the New Year's party as a cartoonist, and she didn't force it.

Turned around and walked out of the room.

The others were very curious and followed them out to have a look.

A black luxury car was already parked at the door, and the driver in uniform was waiting beside him in the cold.

Higashino hurried over.

"Sorry for the wait."

"It's not that I came early, so I'm leaving now?"

Higashino looked around, and asked curiously: "I heard that Mr. Yamamura Shoudao is also here, what about the others?"

Driver Tanaka looked constipated for a while, and looked inside the car.

At this moment, the rear door of the car opened, and a delicate man with a shirtless waist came down, carrying a twig behind his back.

He was the mountain village, and he knelt down on one knee in front of Dong Ye Xiang, "I have come to plead guilty, please whip me, Dong Ye."

"It's amazing, Mr. Yamamura, a good man who keeps his promise," Higashino tore away the thorns and put a coat on him.

In Tokyo in January, it was not hot, but rather cold. It was 2°C today.

Higashino Higashi could see him trembling.

"Higashi is indeed a gentleman..." Yamamura Shoudao heaved a sigh of relief, thinking silently.

Unexpectedly, Higashino waved at this time, and a stunned round-faced beautiful girl came over.

Yamamura Shoudao felt dizzy for a while, because there were actually three people in that direction.

"This is Mr. Yamamura, whom you like very much, just ask him for his autograph." Higashino said with a smile to Nan Qianchun.

On his handsome face, there was tenderness and care.

"No... no..." Nan Qianchun's limbs were stiff, and he returned like a mechanical movement.

Yamamura Shoudao was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that the other party was his fan girl.

His face turned red in an instant, he tugged Dong Yexiang, and whispered in his ear, "You son of a bitch, you plot against me!"

Higashino gave him a sympathetic look, "I didn't know you were so powerful."

"Damn it!" Yamamura Shoudao shouted.

Originally, I was going to laugh away all grievances and enmity, which can better reflect my keeping my promise, but I didn't expect to get rid of ugliness in front of readers.

The image of a great writer has been swept away, leaving no face left.

He feels sorry for himself.

Higashino Hibiki said to Tanaka: "It's time to go."

Putting on the jacket for Yamamura Shoudao, he himself was too cold.

……

Four or ten minutes before the start of the venue, Higashino Hibiki and Yamamura Morimichi arrived at their destination smoothly.

Bidding farewell to the driver, Higashino couldn't help but look at the big hotel in awe.

"As expected of Shueisha, it really is a big deal."

Dozens of black luxury cars are neatly parked in front of the store, looking very impactful.

The people coming and going, some in suits and dresses, looked very classy.

Higashihito went his own way, unchanged from the past.Putting back on his old coat, he walked towards the resplendent hotel.

Yamamura Shoudao wears a long trench coat, which is unexpectedly suitable for this place.

Sasaki was welcoming guests at the door, seeing Higashino, a slight smile appeared on his serious face.

"Well, please come in, I still have work."

"I thought I came to the wrong place." Higashino smiled at him and walked inside.

The hall is full of people, with delicious food in the center, and service staff in tuxedos walking around the hall, serving champagne and fine wine.

"Teacher Arai, you are here too!"

Morimichi Yamamura waved to the side, and Arai, who was his partner, was chatting with other people there, and waved his hand when he heard the voice,
Shancun smiled and walked over.

Higashino Hibiki looked around, Akira Toriyama was once again surrounded, and he could be seen tirelessly.

Akira Toriyama saw Higashino Hibiki, his eyes lit up, he put down the champagne in his hand, apologized to the people beside him, then walked through the crowd towards Higashino Hibiki.

Those company members stared at Higashi Higashi in surprise, Higashino Hibiki smiled at them and greeted them.

"Your manga is quite interesting," Toriyama praised. "I haven't seen this type of manga on jump for a long time."

"Thank you."

The expression on Akira Toriyama's face tightened, and he said seriously: "You have done exactly what you said to me back then, it's really amazing."

After he finished speaking, he turned to leave.

Higashino only felt that he was perfunctory, and took his arm, "Please wait a moment."

Akira Toriyama's face shrugged, "You don't want to pester me too, do you?"

Higashino took out "Arale" from his pocket, "It's just for signing."

"It's very simple." Akira Toriyama heaved a sigh of relief, and he brought Higashi Hibiki to the dining table, smiling all over his face, "I haven't eaten tonight, so I can finally fill my stomach."

He watched the delicious food move his index finger, and Higashino also took out the plate, ready to go.
