Full-time cartoonist - #124 - Chapter 123 The Lonely New Assistant

Sasaki is a man of action, and by the next Monday, he arrived at Hibiki Hibiki’s studio again.

He was alone, without an assistant.

Sasaki explained: “His home is nearby and he said he would come over.”

Dong Yexiang prepared tea and snacks, and several people waited patiently for him.

But half an hour later, no one arrived.

Sasaki’s face became increasingly ugly, and Hibiki stood up quickly.

“I’ll go out and look for it. Maybe I’m lost. After all, Musashino Art University is quite big.”

Higashikata walked to the entrance and opened the door, only to see a familiar figure.

“Hello, I’m Tanaka, a staff member from NHK…” the other party said dully.

Ah, the NPC that was refreshed several times last spring actually appeared again.

This time, his image is different. He is not in a suit, but in regular clothes. His hair is a little messy. He no longer has the smile that was pleasing to the eye before, and his whole style has changed.

But his complexion was very poor and his cheeks were thin.

“There’s no change in the charging standards, right?” Hibiki took out his wallet from his pocket, took out 20,000 yen, and handed it to the other party.

“Eh?” Tanaka was stunned.

He pushed back the money Higashino Hibiki handed him.

Higashino Hibiki was stunned. He even started learning Chinese in order to collect the fees, but now he doesn’t want any money sent over.

Do you like hard mode?

Does it make him unhappy that he can easily pay for it?

“I’m sorry!” Tanaka bowed deeply.

Higashikata was startled.

Sasaki heard the sound at the door, stood up and walked out.

“I resigned from NHK a long time ago!” Tanaka said loudly: “After being awakened by you, sir, I started spending money on training and wanted to change to a decent job.”

“Oh…oh! That’s good,” Higashikata patted him on the shoulder, encouraging him, and then asked, “But why are you here again?”

Tanaka opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

Sasaki walked to the door and said to Hibiki Hibiki: “This is the new assistant, Tanaka, Tanakai.”

“Assistant!” Dong Yexiang was shocked.

Tanaka lowered his head, trembling all over, “Sorry…I’m sorry…”

…

Living room sofa.

Tanaka sat quietly, and Sasaki called Hibiki aside to understand the situation.

Oda looked at this person curiously. Tanaka said nothing, a little afraid of Oda’s probing eyes.

Yoshiiyama couldn’t bear to look at it for a long time, then he tugged on Oda’s clothes and dragged him away.

Akimiya Akemi handed him a drink of water and said with a friendly smile: “Please use it.”

“Thank you.” Tanaka lowered his head, not daring to look at Akimiya Akemi.

“Don’t worry, Tori Akino-kun is a very kind person.” Akimiya Akemi comforted him.

“Yes…yes,” Tanaka Mechanical nodded, “It’s just that I’ve always been like this. I’m sorry to bother you.”

“No need to apologize, no need to apologize.” Akimiya Akemi felt that she couldn’t handle this person, and she couldn’t understand his way of thinking.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long before Hibiki and Sasaki came back.

Sasaki sat next to Tanakai and said expressionlessly: “Anyway, I understand everything about you.”

Tanaka was frightened.

Sasaki said flatly: “It’s Toakino-kun’s problem!”

Dong Yexiang remained silent.

He felt a little guilty for defrauding other people’s work.

“Anyway, don’t take it to heart.” Sasaki said.

“Yeah!” Tanaka nodded.

He told his story intermittently.

When he was a child, because his parents moved frequently, he had to part ways just after he had some familiar friends. In the end, I stopped socializing at all and stayed at home except for going to school. Over time, it became a social fear.

“During that time, I often painted at home.”

He laughed when he mentioned the painting.

“But it’s not very well drawn. It’s just a child’s graffiti.”

After graduating from Tanaka University, he encountered obstacles in his job due to his personality.

Then Tanaka thought that he must change himself without breaking or establishing, so he joined NHK’s toll collection contractor and became a toll collection officer.

With only a basic salary for several months, Tanaka finally plucked up the courage and found his first victim, Hibiki Hibiki.

“There is a mixed bag among NHK toll contractors, including gangsters and gangsters. I can no longer stay there.”

He looked like he was about to cry, and it seemed that he had suffered enough bullying.

A little white sheep got mixed up among the wolves, and you know what the result would be if you think about it.

If he has not been drained and wiped out and becomes a vagabond, he is considered alert.

Maybe it’s because he hasn’t confided in anyone for a long time, but he still talks a lot. He analyzes his tragic life step by step, and it’s so rich that he can draw funny cartoons.

“In April last year, I woke up after being scolded by Teacher Tori Akino and decided to change my past. Then I went to the Qiugong Art Training Class.”

“Because the cost of study is too expensive, I can only take one or two classes occasionally.”

Seeing that Tanaka was dishing out food, Higashino glanced at Akimiya Akemi, who lowered her head in shame.

“Well,” Sasaki nodded, “Then you saw Jump’s assistant recruitment advertisement and applied for it, right?”

“Yeah,” Tanaka nodded.

“I understand everything.” Sasaki stood up, “I have read your portfolio, and there are no problems. Now let’s start the test of Mr. Toakino.”

“Can I…can I?”

“Of course,” Hibiki Higashino walked to the work table and took out a manuscript with characters drawn, a storyboard, photos taken at “Tokyo Metropolitan Musashino Kita High School”, as well as tools such as G-pens and inks. .

Place it in front of Tanaka.

“You start drawing, draw the background of this manuscript.”

Tanaka’s eyes widened and he stared blankly at this exquisite manuscript.

Picking up the g pen, I didn’t dare to start for a while.

He was worried that due to his own reasons, the original manuscript that he had painted for a long time would be scrapped.

Higashikata didn’t speak and walked to Sasaki’s side.

Tanaka raised his head and looked around at everyone’s reactions.

Akimiya and Yoshii were worried, Oda was watching the excitement, Sasaki and Higashino Hibiki kept their expressions unchanged, and discussed the content after “Slam Dunk” together.

“I have to consider that this is my only chance…”

Tanaka gritted his teeth and continued drawing.

The background of this original manuscript is in a basketball stadium, and it doesn’t look complicated.

Tian Zhong considered each stroke for a long time, and as he painted, he became more and more skillful.

His confidence gradually increased and his writing became more powerful.

New students are almost here!

until……

With a “swish” sound, his hand cramped and he drew long lines on the manuscript.

Tanaka’s face immediately turned pale.

Dong Yexiang heard the sound, walked over, looked at him quietly, and then left.

Tanaka’s heart was pounding and his eyesight turned black.

“Am I eliminated?”

It’s hard to muster up the courage…

I am indeed not a normal person. I will stay at home and not work from now on…

The world was getting darker and darker, and he was about to fall into the abyss.

“Tanaka…Tanaka-san.”

Tanaka suddenly heard a voice coming from his ear, and a beam of light fell. It was Higashi Hibiki speaking.

“This is white ink. Please modify it. I’ll leave the assistant’s work to you in the future.”

“Yes Yes!”

He hit his head on the coffee table with a banging sound, and then burst into tears.

“Please take good care of me, Tori Akino-sensei!”

“Yeah.” Higashi Hibiki nodded happily, until he discovered…

“Don’t cry on my manuscript! Wow! There’s snot!”

“Forget it, just keep crying and I’ll draw another one.”

Higashino Hibiki himself wanted to cry but had no tears.

Not the Holy Mother, decisive in killing, no super powers
