Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 113 Chihaya Higashino and Kumamon (4000 characters ask for a monthly ticket!)

The atmosphere was visibly awkward.

The three of them were obviously taken aback when they saw Dong Yesi.

Then the man sitting on the right side of Higashino opened his mouth, with a bit of inexplicable tone in his tone: "This is Musang, Higashino-sensei looks really young."

When he said this, the two people next to him couldn't help but nodded, and they both looked at Dong Yesi more.

Even though Higashino had already greeted them before Higashino came, saying that the new Higashino teacher might be a little young

But this is too young, right?

Does Higashinoji look over 20 years old?

"I'm just seventeen this year, teachers." Higashinosi smiled, not paying attention to the inexplicable gazes of these people: "I may still need teachers' advice on matters at work."

He spoke very pleasantly, and the three people in front of him couldn't help nodding.

It's just that they still feel a little weird in their hearts.

Because Higashino is 17 years old.

The Japanese workplace has always paid attention to seniority and inferiority, but Higashinoji is too young. With no hair on his chin, can he be expected to do a good job?

But soon, the three felt happy again.

Originally, they thought that someone would come to compete with them for food, but Shenmu Qiren only invited such a young man

To put it bluntly, a young man of Higashinoji's age would be an art apprentice at most under their hands.

Designing a mascot is too much for this young man named Higashinoji.

It's impossible for people like myself to be picked by Dong Yesi, right?

After figuring out the cause and effect, the minds of the three sitting in the long room became lively again, and they looked at Higashino Si more kindly.

"I don't dare to tell you." The middle-aged man on the right introduced himself with a smile: "My name is Hayakawasu, and I am older than Mr. Higashino. It should be fine to call me Higashino-sensei, right?"

Hayakawa had a short beard on his chin and a fair face. He looked like a very gentle middle-aged man.

"Of course it's okay, bro Hayakawa." Higashino recognized his face, then nodded with a smile.

The next thing will be much easier.

The remaining two also quickly introduced themselves.

The slightly fat middle-aged man next to him is named Mizuno, and he is a well-known graphic designer.

Another middle-aged man who looks tall and thin is Fujii Hiroki, a painter who specializes in drawing cartoon images such as endorsements.

As for Hayakawasu?He is considered the most powerful person among the three. It seems that he has won several painting awards in Japan, and he has also participated in the logo design of the Osaka Horticultural Expo before.

Each of them can be regarded as a standard Japanese working adult. Even if they have some complaints about Higashinoji's age, they are still kind on the surface.

Higashino Division naturally saw it, but still greeted everyone with a smile.

The real workplace has always been like this, not only in Japan, even in China, there are also people who secretly poke and look down on you, but on the surface they also make enough gestures.So there is nothing to say.

Don't think that painters or designers don't have such troubles, and not everyone has the same demeanor as everyone.Most of them are ordinary people. In fact, things like throwing dirty water behind your back, breaking up with your master and apprentice, and stabbing your spine often happen.

Higashino Division is used to it.

As a long-term staff member of the government agency, Shenmu Qiren next to him can naturally see that these three seniors despise Dong Yesi a little bit.

Originally, he wanted to smooth things over, but he didn't expect Dong Yesi to just smile and let the matter go.

This made him feel bad for Dong Yesi.

It's normal for young people to be unsteady, but it's really rare to be as calm as Higashinoji.

No wonder it was able to win double gold awards in the Tokyo Youth Painting Award, it is really a bit different.

Several people laughed and sat down to eat and drink. While eating and drinking, they discussed the creation of the Kumamoto mascot.

Higashinoji had just arrived, and the small group formed by the three of them had nothing in common, so he could only smile and say a few words occasionally, and concentrate on the cooking at hand.

The appetizer of this high-end Japanese restaurant is an appetizing tomato cold dish, dotted with sesame seeds, and served in a small carved bowl, which looks very small.

Higashino quickly resolved it, and took a sip of the miso soup in the bowl next to it - with a small rub of chopped green onion, I don't know what kind of soup it is, the bright red one is floating with fat, it is very appetizing.

As he was drinking the soup, he heard Hayakawa over there pouring bitter water at Mimu Qiren: "Mimu-san, isn't the lark mascot from last time not good? I think it's already very good, isn't the prefectural bird in Kumamoto Prefecture just like that?" Skylark?"

"Ah, the mascot image, I still hope Mr. Hayakawa will think about it again. Although the skylark is a Kumamoto bird, it has no impact and has no meaning."

Shen Mu Qiren smiled and said, it was a bit slanderous.

The skylark is indeed a bird in Kumamoto Prefecture, but it is too perfunctory for you to just anthropomorphize this image and want to hand in the job.

But Hayakawasu is the person with the most seniority present here, so he can only beg: "I will continue to trouble Mr. Hayakawa."

"Then I have to think about it." Hayakawa nodded.

Fujii Hiroki and Mizuno were also entrusted by Mizuno Kirito, and the two of them promised again and again, promising that this year they would produce results that would satisfy Migure Kirito.

But the better they promised, the more unstable Shen Mu Qi Ren became.

After all, he had heard these words twice, like a story about a wolf coming, how could he trust the three of Hayakawasu?

Shenmu Qiren also specially prepared materials about Kumamoto Prefecture for these three people, and I don't know if they read them.

Just as he was thinking here, Dong Yesi, who had been silent all this time, said, "Speaking of which, there are quite a lot of bright red dishes on this table."

The tomato was served as a cold dish, and the after-dinner dessert was a long, crystal-clear fern cake made of watermelon. The rest of the dishes were also more or less decorated in red.

"Ah, this." Chito Fumui turned around and explained: "Our Kumamoto Prefecture has always been known as the 'Land of Fire' on the island, and this restaurant also specializes in 'bright red dishes'. "

"Nation of Fire? Mainly red?" Higashinosi became a little interested, but he just knew about it.

"Is Mr. Dongye very interested? Do you need me to borrow some materials for you to read? I keep them in my car." Shen Muqiren wiped her mouth and asked.

"Then I'll leave it to Shen Mu-san." Dong Yesi nodded.

He was really interested.

Although I know the mascot image of Kumamon, but the follow-up "The food that Kumamon likes to eat", "How can Kumamon have that kind of cheap and cute feeling" and "How to reflect the character of Kumamon's cheap and cute" are all It is carefully designed.

The Kumamon bear in the previous life did not become a world-class Internet celebrity mascot just by relying on a simple image. Later, Kumamoto Prefecture hired a whole guiding team for the image of the Kumamon bear mascot.

The reason why it can achieve those achievements is all reasonable, and it cannot surprise everyone by just drawing an image of the male protagonist in the novel.

Higashinoji didn't want to waste the rare image of Kumamon if he couldn't even copy the manuscript properly.

So he naturally wanted to study the customs of Kumamoto Prefecture.

After chatting with Shenmu Qiren for a while, Higashino stood up and planned to leave.

He didn't plan to attend the second half of the reception, after all, Higashino Chihaya was still in the hotel.

Leaving her alone, Higashino was not at ease.

After greeting the other four people at the reception, Higashinosi politely declined the request of Kirito Migure to send him back, and left alone with the take-out dishes and the information on Kumamoto County given by Qiren Mimuru.

Seeing Dong Yesi leave, Shen Mu Qiren felt a little regretful.

He hasn't had time to establish a good relationship with this young painter? What if the other party is as perfunctory as Hayakawasu and the others in this mascot design job?

Shenmu Qiren made a decision in his heart, and tomorrow he will find an opportunity to go to Higashino Division alone to discuss the matter of the mascot of Kumamoto County.

As for now

He turned his head and looked at the reception that hadn't ended yet, he could only continue to drink with the other people with a smile on his face.

"Asi, are you back?" Higashino Chihaya, who was leaning on the back of the bed and playing with her mobile phone, ran over happily when she saw Higashino Si push the door in.

She looked good, and her mental state didn't fluctuate much.

Higashino was relieved, he touched Higashino Chihaya's head, then opened the cooking box, and cheerfully greeted Higashino Chihaya to eat.

He watched Higashino Chihaya eating while scanning the information given by Shenmu Qiren in his hand.

It has to be said that the information given by Shenmu Qiren is very complete, and photos are attached to it.

Folk customs, fruits, crops, and various anecdotes of Kumamoto Prefecture

From the perspective of the entire Kyushu Island, Kumamoto Prefecture can be regarded as a relatively wealthy county, but if you look at the whole island, Kumamoto Prefecture can only be regarded as a poor county.

As the Kyushu Shinkansen is about to open to traffic, in order to stimulate the county's economy, Kumamoto Prefecture has tried its best to attract Shinkansen tourists to Kumamoto Prefecture for sightseeing

And Kumamon directly increased the tourism economy of such a poor county by 50.00%.

What is this concept?

The county level in Japan is equivalent to the provincial level in China, which is equivalent to a mascot, driving 50.00% of the province's tourism economy.

Higashino was flipping through the materials with his left hand, while holding a pencil with his right hand, he was gently drawing in the sketchbook.

Soon, the image of a naive little black bear emerged under Dong Yesi's hands.

He changed into colored pencils and colored the Kumamon bear.

Seeing the image of Kumamon on the paper, Higashino shook his head dissatisfied and tore it off.

Although Kumamon is drawn on the paper, it only makes people feel simple and cute, and it doesn't reflect the cheap and cute feeling in Higashinoji's impression at all.

Higashino sighed.

The Kumamon he drew according to the image of the giant panda in his impression is cute enough, but it lacks the character of Kumamon.

Higashinoji simply copied the outer skin of Kumamon now, without holding the core part.

Higashinoji tapped the paper with a pencil, and whispered to himself: "If it's a bear, the first impression is that it's simple and cute, but it's not enough to be cute and cute. Kumamon must be more."

Sure enough, how to express the cheap and cute feeling that there is still a lack of material?

He frowned.

Then he heard Higashino Chihaya's voice beside him.

"A Si? What's the matter with you?" Chihaya Higashino, whose face was covered with soup rice grains, tilted his head and looked at Higashino Si.

In her mind, her younger brother has always been omnipotent, why did she suddenly show such distressed expression?

Chihaya Higashino had good eyesight, but when she turned her head sideways, she saw the empty sketchbook in front of Tsukasa Higashino.

She understood immediately.

Could it be that Higashino Division would not be able to do the homework assigned by the teacher?

"Oh, Ah Si, you are so stupid. Is there something you don't understand about homework? You can come and ask my sister."

Higashino Chihaya immediately put her hips on her hips and slapped her chest, her little face covered with rice grains was a little smug.

"No." Higashino Chihaya looked at Chihaya Higashino's silly and cute movements, and waved his hands cheerfully: "I was just thinking about a problem."

"Really?" Higashino Chihaya tilted her head, covered her mouth and laughed, she smiled and approached Higashino Si: "Hehe, Ah Si, don't worry, my sister won't laugh at Asi, you can really come and ask her. "

"It's really nothing." Higashino was still staring at the blank sketchbook, and was about to answer when he turned around.

Then--

He was stunned.

Higashino Chihaya in front of her was half-lowering her body at this moment, tilting her head, covering her mouth with her hands, and making a smothering sound from her mouth.

Higashino Chihaya leaned over and winked, triumphantly, humming and chirping, it seemed that she had a kind of cheap and cute feeling——

"Miss Chihaya." Dong Yesi's eyes widened, and he clearly felt that he had caught something.

"Huh?" Higashino Chihaya was stunned.

"You keep this action for now!"

"Oh" Higashino Chihaya still didn't understand what happened.

But Asi asked her to do it, she still did it seriously.

Covering his mouth like this, and standing there for about 2 minutes, Higashino Division directly called to stop.

Only then did Higashino Chihaya relax, and asked him curiously, "What's the matter? Asi?"

To her question, Higashino couldn't help showing a faint smile: "The homework assigned to me by the teacher is almost half done."

He showed the sketchbook to Chihaya Higashino.

On the sketchbook, there is clearly a naive little black bear parked. The bear's cheeks are red, and the round body with thick legs looks simple and cute.

And it was such a simple and honest little bear, staring at those small eyes, covering his mouth with his hands, tilting his head, looking this way, his mouth seemed to be smiling.

But this bear is cute and simple only by its appearance, combined with its movements, it gives people a strong feeling of cuteness and cuteness.

For some reason, Higashino Chihaya looked at the bear and always felt that the bear was just mocking him.

So she could only fold her hands on her chest, and puffed up her cheeks angrily, looking desperate.

Seeing this, Dong Yesi's eyes lit up, and he started to draw her image
