Chapter 78: How Does Akino Bird See Me?

Higashino Higashi was drinking, but Hiroshi Bengong didn't care, he took the milk and drank freely.

There is no end to everything, and three hours later, the two left with a sense of loss.

Hiroshi Bengong drank and walked straight towards the motorcycle. Higashino was going to persuade him not to drink and drive.

Unexpectedly, Hiroshi Motomiya waved his hand and pushed the motorcycle into a nearby residential house.

Higashino Hibiki: "..."

No wonder drinking here, it turned out to be near his home.

Higashino looked up at the sky, it was already dark at seven o'clock in winter.

With a slander in his heart, Higashino hailed a taxi and went back to the dormitory resentfully.

Because of the smell of alcohol, Akemi Akimiya complained for a long time.

Really full of bitter tears ah.

……

Higashino Higashi was frustrated in love, just because of "The Garden of Words" she got some favors from Akimi Akemi, but she drank because she was underage, so she ignored Higashino Hibiki for the time being.

However, he was proud of the workplace, and Sasaki sent a message that the reprinted 30 copies of "Soul of Chess" were almost sold out.

The editorial department has already decided on a second reprint, this time with 60 copies!

Published 30 copies, plus 40 reprints, sold a total of [-] copies.

They also want to try to break through one million copies.

If it is possible, Higashi Higashino, a rare genius once in ten years, may become a rare genius in 50 years.

"I've never seen such a powerful high school student."

There was a smile in Sasaki's words.

At the same time, he brought another message.

The release of the second volume is also in preparation, so Higashino is ready.

This is indeed very good news, Higashino seems to have seen the banknotes all over the sky rushing towards him.

The 2 yen spent yesterday for taking a taxi finally stopped making him feel so heartbroken.

……

On Monday, "Weekly Shonen Jump" goes on sale.

Xiaochun has been working on a construction site recently.

At his age, apart from Go, he still has a lot of strength, so there is nothing else to say.

So he came to the construction site. One advantage of the construction site is that he can resign at any time.

Every July, there is a professional Go player exam.

Confident in passing the qualifiers, he knew that the professional exam would take two months, which was a vacation that he couldn't get from normal work, so he simply came to the construction site.

After moving the bricks, he sat on the dusty steps without paying attention.

After touching two beards, he took out his jump and prepared to watch the update of "Soul of Chess".

The co-workers saw it and teased him: "What's your age, you still read boy comics."

"Hahaha," Xiaochun laughed loudly, "I'm still a teenager at heart."

He has been looking forward to the Go qualifier exam for Shinto Hikaru for a long time.

Turn to the third comic in the magazine, which is "Soul of Chess".

After only one glance, he yelled "Hey!"

The sound almost caught up with the sound of the hammer of the excavator next door.

"What's wrong with you?" The worker was surprised and leaned over to take a look.

"The person in this comic is similar to you." He rubbed his chin. "And the name is Tsubaki, and the pronunciation of Chinese characters is the same. What a coincidence."

Xiaochun shook his head again and again, this must not be a coincidence.

He recalled in his mind, that boy, he was the one who made trouble.

I didn't expect to draw myself into the comics.

He began to wonder, what kind of person Higashino painted him?

So be patient.

After a while, his face was red.

To paint him as someone who passed the qualifiers by scaring little kids!

The protagonist Shindo Hikari's opponent is a burly man with a loud voice and a rude person.

Ah Guang, a junior high school student, lost two games in a row when he played chess with Chun, a member of society.

If he loses again, he will lose his qualification to enter the professional examination.

Fortunately, in the next three games, people he was familiar with, as well as his peers, were able to perform normally and won all three games.

Will pass the competition.

Xiaochun couldn't help feeling embarrassed after seeing such content.

With my appearance, I really have an advantage when playing chess with the kids from the Chess Academy.

Seeing himself in the manga for the first time in the first day of Chu made Xiaoharu, like Kazuhiko Torishima, feel ashamed to kill Higashino Hibiki.

But aftertaste when hitting concrete.

The self in the comics is taking a professional exam, so what will happen to him?
Can I become a professional chess player?

How does Bird Akino see the future?

He couldn't help but become curious and looked forward to the next cartoon.

……

In March, Yanyan High School started its spring break.

The graduates like Higashino Hibiki also started to make room for the first-year freshmen and moved away.

The people in their dormitory happened to be all graduates, no one was left behind, and they were all admitted to the same university.

That is Musashino on the opposite side.

only……

"Teacher Akimiya, goodbye." Higashino Hibiki said.

"Huh?" Akemi Akimiya was puzzled.

"I'm finally graduating, and after that," Higashino ran to Musashino, ten meters away, and waved at Akemi Akimiya, following the moving team.

"We are people from two worlds."

Akemi Akimiya was baffled, seeing Higashino Hibiki's silly look, she suddenly burst out laughing.

They all moved away, and the melancholy of facing an empty dormitory was lessened.

Hibiki Higashino's teacher's dormitory at Musashino Art University is about 100 square meters.

Two rooms and one living room.

One room is used for sleeping, the other room is used for storage, and the hall is the studio, which can accommodate four work desks.

Higashino arranged it like this.

"At last we don't have to draw on the dining table," Eiichiro Oda breathed a sigh of relief.

Yoshii-san stood aside for a long time, patted Oda on the shoulder, and silently congratulated Oda.

He lives in a student dormitory, and it takes about 10 minutes to come here, which is much more inconvenient than before.

But compared with Oda who needs to ride in a car, it is much better.

Higashino waved and let them come over.

"Yoshii-kun, cartoonists need to pay their assistants for transportation. We were in the same dormitory before, so we didn't mention this to you."

"Now," Higashino took out a 100-yen coin and stuffed it into Yoshii Yamahisa's hand, "[-] yen can buy two steamed buns to make up for the consumption."

"Higashi..." Yoshii-san had nothing to say for a long time.

He looked at the calm Higashino, and really wanted to throw a coin in his face, but 100 yen was money, so he put it in his pocket anyway.

"Where is Oda-san?" Higashino took out his pocket.

This action made Oda break out in a cold sweat.

Unlike Yoshii Sanhisa, he really wanted to take the train and subway.

Can't you have a job and let yourself pay for it?

"This is 5 yen for you." Higashino handed him five Fukuzawa Yukichi, "This is a month's transportation expenses, I don't bother to calculate the exact amount."

Oda breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Mr. Akino Bird."

　Thanks for the reputation that can't show 233's 500 points reward.
