Full-time cartoonist

Chapter 9

Higashino Xiang's ear, like a thunderbolt, made his soul carve out seven orifices in the chaos.

"It's me?" He pointed at himself in disbelief.

"Yeah." Akira Toriyama nodded, "I didn't expect you to start drawing manga too, Higashino-kun."

Known as two-dimensional, but a long-time gifted child - Higashino Hibiki.

For a while, Torishima Kazuhiko has been saying this name.

7-year-old Higashino is a genius.

Possesses unparalleled spirituality, and the paintings in his hands are radiant.

This is also a point that Akira Toriyama recognizes.

He is 17 years old now.

"I read your comic, it's called "Battle of the Gods". Hmm—" he stroked his chin, thinking about how to organize his words, "it's more skillful and refined, it doesn't look like a high school student's drawing. But , without that natural aura."

Higashino spread his hands, "After all, I have grown up."

"You have grown up." Akira Toriyama sighed.

"I'm looking forward to your future development." Finally he said so.

……

In the evening, sitting at the desk by the window, the history textbooks were spread out, but Higashino was not in the mood to study.

"So it is, so it is..."

He understood why Torishima Kazuhiko was so caring.

In the submitted works, I saw a familiar name, and the address is also in Meguro District, Tokyo.

The cartoons he draws also have a talent that ordinary people can't match.

Most importantly, hope to inspire his childhood talent.

The aura of a child who grew up year by year and was obliterated by time.

"Unfortunately, I'm not the former Higashino Hibiki. Besides, comics are not about holding art exhibitions and selling artwork. Now Higashino's painters are enough."

As long as you learn the basics and Akira Toriyama's lens language, you'll be fine.

Closing his eyes, he sorted out his thoughts again.

After that, I put this matter behind me and started to memorize the history book.

"Ok?"

He suddenly now, his memory has become much stronger.

Now I just read it twice, and the time of the incident and the specific things are remembered in my mind.

Surprised, he turned to the next page and read about the deportation of pottery in the Greek city-state of Athens.

Just read half of it, and the next content will be memorized.

This is what I learned in the previous life, and I was thought to have forgotten it long ago. Unexpectedly, it is clear now, as if I have returned to the high school I just recited.

"Maybe it's because the souls of the two lives are superimposed?" Higashino thought to himself.

Possesses a talent that has been envied for a long time.

Seriously recalling, I remembered all the embarrassing things in junior high school that I had forgotten.

Girl A liked him and confessed, but he refused. At that time, the duty of a student was to study hard and make progress every day.

Girl A asked: "Do you like B?"

Then he lay down on the table and burst into tears.

When b sees that a is crying, he comes to ask: "Did you make a cry?"

So fight with him.

A saw that, crying even more sadly.

So b became even angrier, and the fight became more violent.

Entering a vicious circle, Higashino was embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

Finally got criticized.

Higashino shuddered, "Forget it quickly, forget it quickly!"

This talent is not all good.

More dark history slowly emerged, Higashino sighed and walked down the stairs.

The country road is just right for running.

But within 20 minutes, he came back with a sullen face, one foot long and the other short.

The right foot is full of cow dung...

In the countryside in the countryside, it would be hell if there was no cow dung on the road.

At night, Higashino, who was washing shoes in the backyard, added another dark history...

……

The next morning, Higashino returned to Toriyama's house after running.

Yumi Toriyama is preparing breakfast, fried croquettes and milk.

So I rushed over to help.

"What a good boy." Toriyama Yumi nodded with a smile, "It would be great if my child is as sensible as you."

"I'm lazy at home, where are your children?"

"Oh, they went on a trip to Okinawa."

It's great, in times of economic crisis, it can also provide children to go out to play.

Higashino also hopes to become such a person who can take good care of his family no matter what time of day it is.

Only family affection and money are indispensable.

The breakfast at Toriyama's house was lively.

Toriyama Akira was originally a carefree person.

People who grew up in the countryside have made some achievements, so it is difficult for them to become introverted.

"There is a river at the east end of the village. You can go there to play. After all, people in Tokyo don't have such opportunities hahaha."

"I'm here to be your assistant." Higashino replied, and he turned to look at Akemi Akimiya, asking her to cooperate with him.

Unexpectedly, her eyes wandered, "I haven't been to the river yet..."

She looked forward to it.

Akira Toriyama laughed loudly, "Hahaha, Ms. Akimiya is very interesting, but you, Higashino-kun, don't be so restrained at such a young age."

"I'm not in a hurry to draw manga, Higashino-kun, you can accompany her." Yumi Toriyama said.

"Yes." Higashino could only agree.

"Good!" Akemi Akimiya raised her arms and cheered.

"Hahaha."

……

Akemi Akimiya finds everything novel. She can't stop watching an old woman picking cucumbers in the field.

"Hasn't Ms. Qiugong ever been to the countryside?" Higashino asked curiously.

Akemi Akimiya didn't answer, she grabbed Higashino Hibiki's clothes, pointed to the side, and asked excitedly, "Higashiya-kun, what is that?"

"Which one?"

"It's long, hanging down, and green! I've never seen it before!"

"Oh, it's cowpea."

"What about that! What about that!"

"eggplant."

"Oh! Isn't it purple?"

"Not mature yet."

"The one next to it!"

"Beside?" Higashino also hesitated, the big golden light was unfolding, and it was as big as two palms. Higashino didn't know what kind of vegetable would grow such a big flower.

He shook his head.

"Higashi Ye-kun doesn't know either." Akemi Akimiya sighed regretfully.

She suddenly saw a butterfly and rushed towards it.

Higashino was still paying attention to the flower, and walked over to study it.

Hearing a "wow", Akimi Akemi, who had a khaki upper body, came back.

"I... I didn't notice that the stone... fell!"

Where are you from, kid?
Higashino covered his head, and found that the big flower suddenly started to move up, and with a "shua", it grew up from the vegetable field.

Akemi Akimiya was taken aback and hid behind Higashino Hibiki.

"It's not a flower, it's my hat."

Wearing a hat decorated with golden flowers, a wild girl with an expressionless face and fair and delicate skin appeared.

She was standing pretty in the vegetable field, holding a Polaroid in her hand.

Dongye was curious, "Are you here?"

"Collect materials," the girl replied. She walked out of the vegetable field, took out a photo from Polaroid, and handed it to Higashino.

It is a praying mantis, which is preying on aphids, and it was very vividly photographed.

The girl took back the photo from Higashino Hibiki, and said calmly, "Goodbye, Higashino-kun."
