Full-time cartoonist

Chapter 92
on Monday.

Higashino looked at the newspaper.

"Yomiuri Shimbun", a large newspaper with the largest circulation in Japan and a daily sales volume of more than 1000 million, has a whole page and a rather large space, all about the "Toriyama Akira Works Tour Exhibition".

According to reports, the flow of people on Sunday exceeded 8 people.

It was so terrifying that Higashino Hibiki couldn't imagine it.

Once again, I saw Akira Toriyama's influence beyond imagination.

The newspaper office recruited many art critics and painters.

"The performer who best symbolizes the present of Japanese manga."

"His work has influenced the daily life of people in contemporary Japan."

"The feature of this exhibition lies in the comprehensive presentation of Akira Toriyama's works, and the growth and changes of the characters in Akira Toriyama's works can be observed."

It looks very powerful.

Akira Toriyama is a painter who broke the barriers between manga and art.

"He can be replaced." Higashino was happy for Akira Toriyama, and thought to himself.

……

"Ah, Fumonto, I'm not serializing anymore, so I don't need you to send me Jump Magazine." Akira Toriyama looked at the editor who was smiling happily in front of him, feeling a little distressed.

He is someone who doesn't know how to respond when others treat him well.

"Toriyama-sensei is still Jump's signed cartoonist." Takeda said.

"Yes." Akira Toriyama nodded.

Even after finishing "Dragon Ball", he will still receive jump's annual contract fee.

After all, I have worked in this magazine for many years, and I can't give up emotionally.

"This is the penultimate episode of Dragon Ball."

"Ah."

"Let me take a look."

He picked up the magazine complicatedly, with mixed feelings in his heart.

On the cover is Himura Kenshin, he thought it would be Fujiwara Saori.

"It's clear that the recent results of "Soul of Chess" are good?" He was a little surprised, "It hasn't had a front page for a long time."

"Well..." Takeda didn't know how to respond.

Akira Toriyama turned to the third manga, and Higashino became curious and said that he could get the content of No.1.

"What is "The Soul of Chess" in this painting?"

……

Hikari Shinto vs Ryo Toya.

With big hands closed, such a game reminded Akira Toriyama of the game in Haiwang Junior High School.

Ryo Toya pursued the figure of Sakai Fujiwara, paid a high price, and was finally able to fight Xiaoguang.

The opponent is an opponent that he can't beat at all, Ta Yaliang's heart is extremely complicated.

Nervousness, fear, anticipation and courage.

Xiaoguang, who is now striving to become a professional chess player, is also the mood of Taya Ryo back then.

He picked up the chess box, trembling all over.

The lid accidentally fell off, and when Jin Tengguang went to pick it up, he realized that he couldn't exert his strength.

Xiaoguang looked at his hands and understood Xiaoliang's mood at the time.

What the other party was looking for was Zuo Wei, and it was him that I was looking for, so the mood was the same.

The joy of playing chess against an opponent you fear!
However, Xiao Guang waited for a long time with full of expectation, but was let go by Ta Yaliang.

Akira Toriyama: "???"

He had been looking forward to it for so long, but he never thought that this game would not appear!

Immediately, there was a feeling of wanting to beat Higashino Hibiki.

Having said that, this plot is really annoying.

However, the content after that made him change his mood and began to look forward to it again.

It turned out that Toya Yukiyo was hospitalized, which made Taya Ryo unable to participate in the competition.

Shinto Hikaru came to visit Toya Yukihiro, he was fine, and his disciple Ogata brought a computer so that he could play chess on the Internet to pass the time.

After Xiaoguang organized the language for a long time, he asked Tayaya and Sai to have a fair fight on the Internet.

Taya is not interested in playing chess with people who do not reveal their names and hide their identities.

If sai can come to the scene, you can play any amount of chess with him.

Zuowei was very excited, and he yelled at Toya: "I'm right here! Get the board and chess pieces ready, I'm right here!"

He was already full of momentum, but it was a pity that Tayao couldn't see him.

Xiaoguang looked at Zuowei's appearance, cheered up, and sincerely asked Taya Yukihiro.

"Just next time! Let's play Go online with him! Because that guy... can only play Go online..."

Xiaoguang's attitude was extremely sincere, and Taya Yukihiro finally agreed.

Also said: "If I lose, I will retire from professional chess players!"

He looked down on Zuo Wei who only ruled the roost on the Internet, but he couldn't underestimate others. In the following week, he began to learn how to play chess on the Internet.

Zuo Wei is looking forward to it very much. He has learned about Taya Yukihiro since he possessed Xiaoguang.

Knowing that the opponent is also pursuing the "Hand of God", in such a fair duel, one can see who is closer to the realm of "Hand of God"!

Such a war of the century is about to begin.

……

Chess Academy.

"Damn it! It's broken!"

"What kind of a showdown is it?"

"I'm really looking forward to it!"

There were mourners in the chess academy, Shinoda Sidan rubbed the dark circles under his eyes, and couldn't help scolding loudly.

"In two months, the Go qualifiers will start! Why do you still have time to read manga! Play chess for me! Whoever loses will have to play another game!"

……

Go club.

After the young lady at the front desk finished telling the story of the latest episode, the middle-aged and elderly people below couldn't help shouting loudly.

"That kid named Dongye is too much!"

"I want to know what's going on behind the scenes."

"Who will win!"

Xiaochun's hand holding the chess pieces trembled slightly. He had already decided not to read comics and concentrate on playing chess, but he still couldn't help but want to know the plot behind "Soul of Chess".

"Back then, Akino should have been beaten up!"

He muttered in his mouth.

……

Higashino hung up Akira Toriyama.

The two of them rarely communicate, and they didn't expect to call this time to scold themselves.

Comparing your heart to your heart, his comics haven't stopped at important places?
It's too much.

Oda rubbed his chest in fear, "Fortunately, I'm an assistant, so I know what's going to happen next."

"Well," Yoshii nodded, "The readers who have to wait for another week, how pitiful."

The assistants were thinking about it here, and Higashino glared at him angrily.

The two of them lowered their heads and pretended to draw.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Higashino went out to open the door, and saw a person standing at the door with a pencil sharpener, which scared him to death.

"Ah, hello, I'm a staff member of NHK, and I visited last time."

Higashino breathed a sigh of relief, luckily he wasn't a resentful reader.

I read a lot of news, when the author was at the signing event, some readers rushed up with a knife and stabbed him.

There is a saying that if you don't do anything wrong with your heart, you will not be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.

It seemed that he himself knew what he was doing was unreasonable.

"No, it should be in Chinese."

Seeing that Higashi Higashino said nothing, the staff member reacted and took out a dictionary. The plastic cover on it had just been torn off. It seemed that the knife was for this purpose.

Using a dictionary to compare, he said awkwardly word by word: "Hello, I'm Tanaka from NHK."

Higashino was convinced, and he worked too hard.

With such a level of concentration, what's wrong with you?
He looked at Tanaka, and blurted out in Japanese: "Why do you want to be an NHK toll collector?"

Tanaka was taken aback, "You can speak Japanese."

He put down the dictionary in his hand, and said decadently, "I'm so easily deceived."

"I'm asking you a question," Higashino said. "Your mother in the country will be disappointed to know you're in this business."

"Sorry..." Tanaka lowered his head, "I'm sorry because I can't find another job."

"Yeah," Higashino nodded, "It's okay to know you're wrong, let's go."

"Yes, excuse me today."

Tanaka limped away, Higashino heaved a sigh of relief, and finally fooled around again.

……

On Tuesday, Sasaki called.

Higashino was a little strange, because the results of the flash report did not affect the final status of the work, so he told Sasaki that he did not need to be notified of the ranking.

Is there something going on today?

Higashino Hibiki, "Hi, I'm Akino Tori, what can I do?"

Sasaki said: "I think you must be notified of the results of this quick report."

Higashino Hibiki's heart was pounding, "Could it be?"

He had a guess, which made him very excited.

"That's right, the quick report ranking of "Soul of Chess"..." Sasaki paused.

Higashino swallowed, feeling extremely anxious.

"It's number one!"

"Oh!" Higashino cheered!

How many days and nights, how many times of hard work, finally got the first place in the quick report.

Even if he is such a man who can't be flattered or humiliated, he can't restrain the joy in his heart at this moment!

"Congratulations, Mr. Akino Tori." Sasaki said with a smile.

Seeing the sudden excitement of Higashino, Yoshii was very surprised, Akimiya and Oda looked at the time, seemed to think of something, and became excited.

"Is it number one?" Oda asked.

Higashino nodded with a smile.

"What about "Dragon Ball"?" Oda asked again.

Before Higashino could ask, Sasaki said, "Dragon Ball No.2 and No.3 are Rurouni Kenshin."

He heard the carnival on the other side of the phone and smiled.

Sure enough, no matter how mature, he is still a child.

Higashino told Oda the results of "Dragon Ball", and said to Sasaki himself: "However, this is just a quick report. My goal is Xiaozheng to be the first!"

Xiao Zheng is number one!It is the real number one!

"Well, come on, Akino Tori." Sasaki hung up the phone.

Oda was still confused, "I actually surpassed that "Dragon Ball"."

Yoshii was helpless, "No, you are just an assistant..."

"I really have potential," Oda said confidently, "In the future, I will definitely be able to serialize and become a manga artist comparable to Akira Toriyama!"

Akimi complained, "No, no, it's better not to dream."

Bird Akino's studio was filled with joy and laughter.

And Yue Shinhong's expression was a bit complicated.

He likes "Soul of Chess" very much, and the recent content is also very interesting.

But the self who had the front page coloring page unexpectedly lost.

This can't help pouring cold water on him who is so beautiful.

"It's not just Mr. Toriyama Akira who is in front of you, but also Mr. Tori Akino Mirai who is behind you. It's too late to understand this."
