Full-time cartoonist - #70 - Chapter 70 The Future

In 1995, the economy began to recover.

Although the next few decades are called the disappearing 20 years, the situation this year is indeed much better than the previous two years.

Hibiki Higashino just went out for a run in the morning and saw religious elements handing out flyers. Most of them smiled and refused, not as insensitive as before.

There is a Shinrikyo religion that is particularly rampant and declares that 1997 is the end of the world. Only the rituals of leader Asahara can liberate the souls of believers and enter a state of absolute freedom and happiness.

This argument was especially popular during the economic bubble. In 1989, there were more than 10,000 members. Later, church leaders even tried to run for Congress.

Recently, it seems that fewer and fewer people believe this statement. We can see them promoting it, but not many people care.

Things are starting to get better. Hibiki Higashino thought so, and turned from running to walking, slowly walking back to “Yoshihara-so”.

He bought breakfast on the way. Yoshii and the others woke up, so they came over to have breakfast together.

“Thank you, Higashino-kun.” Minami Chiharu thanked him.

Since the animation of “Hey-Come Out”, she has not gone out to work.

I have been working under Asahina Yuko, and recently I have been painting Asahina’s own works. I heard that the results are almost there.

“Minami-san, you and Asahina-san have been very busy recently,” Higashino Hibiki saw her tired look and advised, “There will be a common test for university entrance in half a month, so you can put the animation production aside for now.”

The common test for university entrance is actually the college entrance examination.

However, after taking the Japanese college entrance examination, whichever university you want to enter, you still have to take their on-campus examination.

It would be much easier to enroll with a recommendation like Hibiki Higashino.

“It doesn’t matter, I’ve been ready for a long time,” Minami Chiharu said confidently.

Her dream is to enter Musashino Art University, and she has been preparing for it for almost three years. Whether it’s tuition fees or subjects, everything is covered with ease.

Private college tuition was expensive, so she worked part-time during high school and saved a lot of money.

Recently, I have been dating the rich woman Asahina, so I don’t have to worry anymore.

“Where is Asahina-san?” Higashino Hibiki turned to ask Asahina, who had been silent.

“Musashino,” Asahina said.

“What?” Dong Yexiang was confused.

“I have entered Musashino Art University.” Asahina took a bite of bread, “Please take care of me in the future.”

“…It’s really amazing…” Hibiki Higashikata was speechless. This was his original dream, but it was realized so easily by others.

“Where’s Yoshii-kun?” Higashino Hibiki asked.

“Musashino,” Yoshii Sanhisu replied, “After hard work, my father said that the debt problem should not be taken to heart.”

“With 2 billion yen, after hard work, can it be done within a year?” Hibiki Higashino couldn’t imagine it.

Is this class solidification?

When he watched Conan before, Haihara Ai said it.

“The sons of politicians will become politicians, and the sons of bankers will become bankers. If this continues, no matter how long it takes, Japan will not change.”

She calls it Japan’s ugly patrimonial system.

However, Hibiki Higashino did not expect that bankrupt bankers would immediately turn around under this system.

The upper levels may have become a big network, helping and supporting each other.

Of course, there is also the help of Grandpa Yoshii Sanhisa.

“Then Yoshii-kun, do you still want to be an assistant?” Hibiki Higashino asked.

“Dad said that kindness must be repaid,” Yoshii Sanhisa replied: “It was Higashino-kun who helped me in the first place. I definitely can’t abandon you. Besides, being an assistant is very interesting. When I think about my job, it will make a few people happy.” When millions of people are happy, I am full of motivation.”

Dongye nodded and stopped trying to persuade him.

He looked around, “So we people will still go to the same university. It feels like something in a cartoon.”

But if you think about it carefully, those who can enter the art department of Yanyan High School are all the proud ones, and they also have a net worth of hundreds of millions.

Their goal was originally the three major art schools in Japan.

“Hahaha, that’s a coincidence.” Minami Chiharu laughed loudly, “It’s great that I can’t be separated from everyone!”

“Takagi-senpai is still waiting for you at Tokyo University,” Yoshii Sanhisa said.

“I don’t care about her,” Minami Chiharu shook her head, “You should go to Tokyo University to accompany her.”

Yoshii Sankyu blushed.

Asahina Yuko said: “I went to Musashino for Higashino-kun.”

“Hey! Isn’t it because of me?” Nan Qianharu said in shock.

“No,” Asahina shook her head.

“You’re too much!” Minami Chiharu rubbed her face hard and pouted at Hina’s mouth.

“Yes…I’m sorry.”

They were fighting and fighting together, and Akimiya Akemi sighed.

In this way, only yourself is left.

I really envy them, they are still just students.

…

In the afternoon, the comic finally progressed to the moment when Xiaoguang takes the exam to be a professional chess player.

Although in the last chess academy assessment, Xiaoguang ranked seventh. But because what is being compared is the average ranking, Xiaoguang’s Go results were not ideal in the previous assessments.

He did not enter the top eight in the chess academy and had to participate in the qualifiers.

At the gate of the qualifying match.

Xiaoguang sighed, “I finally got to this point…”

Zuo Wei was dissatisfied, “Has it come this far? It should start from here.”

“I know!” Xiaoguang has grown a lot compared to before, “But, I’m still standing here anyway.”

“The first day of professional preliminaries!”

The latest episode was finally over, and Hibiki Tono breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaoguang’s life was completely changed by Fujiwara Sawei, and “Soul of the Game” can also usher in a watershed here.

While he was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

It should be Sasaki, he said yesterday that he would visit today.

Hibiki put down the manuscript in his hand and opened the door. Sure enough, it was Sasaki.

He wears glasses, a suit and leather shoes, has a straight figure, and purses his lips in an extremely serious manner.

It is indeed his usual style.

“Excuse me today.”

“Please come in.”

Arriving at the studio in the living room, Sasaki saw the manuscript on the table and asked, “Has it been painted yet?”

“Yes.” Dong Yexiang nodded.

“Well, you are indeed Tori Akino’s future teacher.” Sasaki looked through it and found no problem.

“Although I am a high school student, I can always complete the manuscript in time. I am much more self-disciplined than some adult cartoonists.”

“At the original serialization meeting, other people were worried that serialization for high school students would cause many problems. Teacher Tori Akino’s dedication this year left them speechless.”

“Not a single delay, not a single break of publication, even I didn’t expect.”

“Thank you for the compliment.” Higashikata nodded.

His advantage is the storyboard. Other cartoonists would spend more than three days conceiving the storyboard.

Higashino Hibiki only needed two days, after all, he had the finished plot already in his mind.

“This is not just a compliment,” Sasaki pulled out the documents he carried with him.

“For the latest year’s contract payment, the editorial department has decided to double it based on your contribution last year.”

Thanks to Tiegufenshan for the coins.
