Full-time cartoonist - #18 - Chapter 18 Painting

After tidying up the bedroom, Higashikata went downstairs to the living room, which had wooden floors, a TV and a sofa.

Takagi Kiko is pestering Yoshii Sankyu and making him drink.

“Dad said minors can’t drink, wow!”

As soon as I spoke, I got a mouthful of it.

“Sorry, Dad…”

A bitter and astringent taste entered his mouth. Yoshii Sanjiu slumped on the sofa, his eyes dull. His top changed shape as he pulled it, exposing his delicate skin.

Like a girl who is numb afterwards.

Higashino Hibiki was stunned for a moment, looking at Takagi Kiko’s dangerous eyes, “I have other things to do, so I’ll go up first!”

After saying that, he ignored Yoshii Sankyu’s cry for help behind him and ran away.

“I’m sorry, Shanjiu-kun, please resent me.” Higashino Hibiki left with his sins on his back.

…

Enter the house, padlock.

Taking out a set of tools given by Mr. Akira Toriyama, as well as the drawn storyboards and blank A3 paper, Hibiki filled the desk.

“Finally let’s start painting!”

Take a deep breath, grab a pencil and start sketching.

He has already made sufficient preparations for this comic.

It doesn’t matter if you work as an assistant or learn Go.

Now, the final decision has been made!

“The chess master of the Heian period, Fujiwara Sawei, traveled through distant time and space and was resurrected in the heart of Shindo Hikaru.”

“In order to understand the “hand of God”! “

After he started drawing comics, Higashino Hibiki turned his back on things outside the window and immersed himself in drawing.

Often at the beginning, you are very motivated.

In the room, there was the rustle of a pencil, followed by the sound of a G-pen smearing after being dipped in ink.

In the 10-square-meter room, with the sound of cicadas chirping outside the window, you escape into the boundless depths.

I don’t know how much time passed, but Higashikata looked up. The hot sun had entered dusk, making the room dim and dim.

He looked down and saw that the last thing he saw was a man wearing a long robe with sleeves hanging almost to the ground, his arms spread out and holding a folding fan, with his eyes lowered and a look of happiness—Fujiwara Sawei.

“It feels pretty good.” Higashikata nodded.

In his opinion, he is no worse than other cartoonists in Jump.

The beginning of “Soul of Chess” is a straightforward narrative, just write the comic well and there is no need to show off your skills.

Painted for a while.

“Higashino-kun, dinner is ready.” Someone knocked on the door.

“Here he comes.” Higashikata replied.

…

Yoshii Sankyu and Takagi Kiko had already sat down at the dining table, and Hibiki Higashino also sat down.

Udon noodles are set on the table.

The chef took off his apron and sat down at the table with a smile.

She is in the same grade as Hibiki Higashi, her name is Minami Chiharu, she has long blond hair, a round and cute face, bright eyes and a delicate mind.

He is easy to talk to and always smiles at everyone. But sometimes, there is a strong side, like the banchang, who is the boss of the dormitory and holds educational power similar to his mother.

The former teacher Matsushita was often bitten by her.

Because Mr. Matsushita is so talkative, graduated Aoki-senpai and Takagi Kiko are not economical. Even when things go too far, Mr. Matsushita often just looks on with a smile and does not interfere.

“Ms. Matsushita, why are you just watching!”

Minami Chiharu would accuse this.

“Higashino-kun, long time no see.”

“Classmate Nan, long time no see.”

After saying hello, she asked in surprise: “Why do you think of changing your hairstyle? Wasn’t the slightly curly hair you had before good?”

“Hey! I really changed my hairstyle!”

“It’s Ban Cun!”

Only then did Yoshii Sankyu and Takagi Kiko realize that they came together in front of Higashino Hibiki and looked at it curiously, like an archaeological excavation. They wished they could get a magnifying glass.

Hibiki Higashino said sincerely: “I used to have a bald mohawk. I regretted it, so I shaved it off and grew it into a square inch. When my hair grows longer, I will change my hairstyle.”

“What happened!” Yoshii Sanjiu stood up in surprise and stroked Higashi Hibiki’s head, “Did you hit your head?”

Hibiki slapped his hand away, looked at the udon, and licked his lips. He was hungry.

Kiko Takagi pulled Yoshii Sankyu down, put her arm on his shoulder and sneered, “You are such an idiot, Higashino is clearly joking, but you still take it seriously.”

“Hey! It’s really fake!”

Higashino Hibiki said: “Really.”

“It’s really a joke…” Yoshii Sankyu murmured, “That’s good.”

Higashikata rolled his eyes. Sure enough, the attributive is very important.

“Higashino-kun is still the same,” Minami Chiharu watched the farce end, clasped her hands and closed her eyes, “I’m starting.”

“I’m starting.”×3

There are slurping and slurping sounds all over the place. The custom in Japan is different from that in China. When eating noodles, you have to make a sound. The louder the sound, the more recognition you get.

Higashino Hibiki followed the local customs and sucked the udon into his mouth from the tip of his chopsticks.

Elastic, tough, and tastes great.

The soup is full of umami, and the taste is very good, which is a rare level.

It’s just not as good as Akimiya Akemi, Hibiki thought carefully.

I also want to eat the food cooked by Miss Akimiya again.

“It’s very delicious!” Takagi Kiko gave a thumbs up, “It reminds me of my lost youth, the days when I ran in the countryside at sunset!”

“This udon is different from the ones sold in supermarkets.” Hibiki chewed and tasted it with his eyes closed. “It’s more elastic and chewy, and the eating experience is much stronger.”

Minami Chiharu said with a smile: “This is made in my hometown, you just like it.”

“It’s delicious!” Yoshii Sankyu finally regained his composure and nodded repeatedly, “It’s much more delicious than what my dad makes.”

“Thank you,” Minami Chiharu asked curiously, “Yoshii-kun, isn’t your father very busy? How come he has time to cook for you?”

“This summer vacation, he has been with me all the time,” Yoshii Sanjiu said with a silly smile. “It’s almost more time than the past ten years combined.”

“Congratulations.” Takagi Kiko picked up the soup and drank it all in one gulp.

As she spoke, she quietly stood up and prepared to sneak away while no one was paying attention.

“Stop,” Minami Chiharu finished the last bite of udon, wiped her mouth gracefully with a tissue, and then said, “It’s your turn to wash the dishes this time.”

“Isn’t it a new semester? How can I be the one washing the dishes?”

“July 5th is the last day of graduation. It’s Higashino-kun who washes the dishes. According to the turn, it’s your turn.”

“I……”

“hurry up.”

“yes.”

Sometimes one thing will bring another. Higashino smiled and shook his head, pushing the bowl and chopsticks to Takagi Kiko, “Please, Takagi-senpai.”

“You guy!”

“I still have something to do, so I’m leaving first.”

Higashino Hibiki patted his butt and left, continuing his creation on the second floor.

…

In the bedroom, Hibiki thought, the three roommates of the original owner were indeed very good.

After spending a day together, and with the memories in my head, there is no one who cares about anything, and no one who is jealous.

It is not impossible to serialize comics in the dormitory.

“After Aoki-senpai graduated, there were no new roommates in Yoshiharaso. It would be great if the new life teacher was also a kind-hearted person. It would be better if he knew a lot. “
