Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 115 This Is Not Considered (4000 words!)

"I want a working computer, Shen Mu-san, after all, I need it to make slideshows later."

Higashino Division simply made this request to Shen Mu Qiren.

He doesn't need anything else, and basically doesn't need it if he wants it.

Regarding this, Shenmu Qiren laughed, thinking that Dongyesi was being polite to him: "Mr. Dongye, you are welcome, you can just say what you want, as long as it is within the plan, I will definitely satisfy it all." .”

Hearing the other party's praise of Haikou, Higashino Division was also a little interested-Kumamoto Prefecture is really so generous, you can get what you want?

He thought for a while, and then said: "Then I hope to have a few puppet actors, such experienced actors. Well, if there is such a professional motion designer, I also hope to ask him for advice. As for other For the time being, there are not many demands.”

The actor who played Kumamon had to be selected, and Higashino wanted to see if there was any actor he liked.

"Uh..." Hearing Higashino's words, Shenmu Qiren opened his mouth first, and then said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Higashino, to be honest, we can solve the problems of funding and hardware, but what about human resources?"

He stretched out his hand and made a 'a little bit' gesture: "Then we estimate that it is a little bit worse, and it is a bit difficult to solve at this stage."

Higashinoji understood all of his little gestures when he saw it.

After all, a little bit is a little bit, a lot is a little bit, and nothing is a little bit.

In other words, it is nothing.

However, Shenmu Qiren was also a little embarrassed for talking so much before, and couldn't do it in practice, so he quickly assured Dongyesi: "Give me three or four days, and the people you want, Mr. Dongye, I Guaranteed to get all of them back, as long as you can make the mascot image of 'Kumamon' well."

A good horse with a good saddle, Shen Muqiren still understands this.

It's not easy to meet Dong Yesi, the red rabbit horse. If he doesn't even give him fodder, and doesn't give him a saddle, isn't it a waste of money?

As for Hayakawasu and the others?

Shenmu Qiren also wanted to equip them with a saddle, but they didn't need it at all. They just returned to nature and died casually.

The design of Hayakawasu and the others belongs to their own favorite mascot design, which is completely different from Higashinoji's mascot design that is completely in line with the local Kumamoto Prefecture.

After exchanging pleasantries with Higashino Division for a while, he got up and said goodbye. He was going to find a relationship now and hire a few professional puppet actors——Kumamoto County is a little poor, but it still didn't work out when it came to mascot design. Less money down.

After sending Shenmu Qiren away, Higashino put down the sketchbook, and said hello to Higashino Chihaya: "Miss Chihaya, do you want to visit Kumamoto Castle?"

He promised that Higashino Chihaya would take her on a sightseeing trip when he came over, and it would be no problem to do the mascot design in the evening.

Most importantly, observing Chihaya Kumamoto and Chihaya Higashino was originally part of the job.

If Chito Mimu could not find an action designer, then he thought it would be fine to just use Chihaya Higashino as an action model.

To Higashino Chihaya's statement, Higashino Chihaya naturally happily nodded and agreed. When she was in Tokyo, Higashino Si didn't take her out much because of her schoolwork. Now she finally had the opportunity, and of course she didn't want to miss it.

Putting on his go-out clothes, Higashino took a sketchbook and two types of needle pens, checked his wallet again, and then went out contentedly with Higashino Chihaya who also put on a go-out outfit.

It's just that as soon as he went downstairs, Higashino ran into an acquaintance.

"Brother Dongye?"

Hayakawa saw Higashinoji from a long distance away, and after reaching out to greet him, he found the long-haired girl beside him: "This is?"

The hotels that Shenmu Qiren arranged for them were all from the same hotel, but Dongyesi was in a double room, so naturally they were not on the same floor as them.

"This is my sister, Higashino Chihaya." Higashino Si smiled and introduced: "I'm planning to take her to Kumamoto Castle."

"Oh, I hope Brother Dongye and Miss Dongye have a good time."

Hayakawa nodded, but felt a little inexplicable in his heart.

Higashinoji has just arrived for the first day, has he started to travel?Isn't this attitude towards work too rigorous?

And who travels for work and brings his own family?This is too easy.

However, this is also a matter between Higashinoji and Shenmu Qiren. Dongyesi must have negotiated with Shenmu Qiren when he brought people here.

And he, who is also the mascot image designer, is naturally happy to see Higashino Si not seeking to make progress, after all, he has a chance in this way.

But even if Higashinoji is really serious about his work, Hayakawasu doesn't think that his more than ten years of design experience will lose to a 17-year-old youth like Higashinoji.

This is the self-confidence of being a senior of Higashino Division.

He couldn't really be beaten to death by the rookie Dong Yesi, right?

Hayakawa greeted Higashinoji, and after a while, watched him and Higashino Chihaya leave.

"Go up and get on with your work."

Hayakawasu muttered to himself, recalling the skylark he saw while walking just now, he just felt a little inspired again.

This time, he is determined to win the image of the mascot of Kumamoto Prefecture.

Japanese horses are mostly produced in Hokkaido in the north and Kumamoto Prefecture in Kyushu Island.

Horses in Hokkaido are mostly used for equestrian competitions and ceremonial guards, and Kumamoto Prefecture is the birthplace of horse meat cuisine.

As a particularly famous dish here, Higashinoji will naturally not miss it.

It has to be said that the streets of Kumamoto Prefecture are full of shops selling horse meat specialties, and most of those family restaurants also have signs such as "Kumamoto Local Cuisine-Horse Meat Cuisine".

Higashino Tsukasa bought a few bags of jerky horse meat, kept one bag for Higashino Chihaya as a snack, and brought the rest back to Tokyo as souvenirs for Hosokawa Koharu and Okano Ryoko.

After finishing the gift, Higashino took Chihaya Higashino to the famous "Ma Ying" horse meat restaurant in Kumamoto Prefecture.

According to Chito Fumuro, this restaurant seems to have won No.1 in the gourmet version of Japanese 'local cuisine' before.

Its store name 'Ma Ying' is actually quite interesting.

The Japanese have always referred to horse meat as "sakura meat". Because of its low fat content, high-quality horse meat will show a pink color like cherry blossoms when exposed to air, so it is called "sakura meat".

The name of the shop 'Ma Ying' represents the chef's confidence in the quality of horse meat in his shop.

But Higashino didn't know if he was confident or not, and it was delicious to eat.

He ordered a hot pot set and a barbecue set.

The outside of the grilled horse steak has been fried to reveal a yellow sauce, while the tender horse meat inside is trembling and juicy. It is paired with ponzu vinegar sauce and eaten in one bite. The combination of burnt aroma and tender and smooth gravy is indeed Very delicious.

Not only Higashino Chihaya, but even Higashino Si mixed three bowls of rice.

Higashino Chihaya, who was struggling to deal with the horse meat dish in front of her, noticed that Higashino Tsukasa stopped her chopsticks and picked up a pencil and sketchbook.

So she raised her head and warned: "A Si, don't draw me!"

"I didn't draw Miss Chihaya." Higashino said with a smile, "I'm drawing these horse meat dishes. After all, this is the first time I've seen them."

"Really?" Higashino Chihaya showed a suspicious expression, and then reached out to get the sketchbook in Higashino Si's hand: "Show it to my sister."

Naturally, Higashino would not give it, he just smiled and comforted Higashino Chihaya, but the pen in his hand did not stop at all.

Then there is the horse meat sushi grilled with a spray gun and the horse meat hot pot with steam and aroma

Chihaya Higashino, who was next to him, was very concerned about what Higashino Si drew, but he was reluctant to put the bowl, so he could only stuff horse meat into his mouth angrily.

Really, so angry!But delicious!can not stop.

After this meal, Higashino Chihaya was not less angry, but she ate with relish, her mouth was full of horse meat, and even half of the meat on Dongyesi's plate was passed by her. The pen inside did not stop at all.

A meal is finished in no time.

Although it was a bit expensive in actual calculation, he and Chihaya Higashino ate more than 5000 yen.

But Higashino Chihaya ate very happily, so Higashino Si naturally wouldn't grudge the money.

Besides, this encounter can also be used in "The Lonely Gourmet"

On the whole, Higashinoji is quite satisfied with this purchase.

After lunch, Higashino took Chihaya Higashino to see Kumamoto Castle.

Playing like this until the afternoon, Higashino Chihaya and Higashino Chihaya drove back to the hotel.

"The harvest is not bad." Dong Yesi glanced at the sketchbook in his hand.

At this moment, the sketchbook in his hand was already filled with the simple, honest and cute image of Kumamon.

Not only the expression of covering the mouth, but also the cute movements of splashing and stomping.

This is what Higashino has gained in one day, and the character image has become more vivid, and he is getting closer to the Kumamon in Higashino's mind.

Chihaya Higashino

She had already brushed her teeth, took a shower, and fell asleep comfortably.

Higashino turned down the temperature of the air conditioner, and then began to refine the movements of Kumamon, including some meanings of the mascot image of Kumamon that he had never thought of before.

If the black on Kumamoto’s body represents the historical landmark of Kumamoto Castle, then the blush on its face represents Kumamoto Prefecture’s former name of “Fire Country”, and it can also refer to Kumamoto Prefecture’s rich watermelons, tomatoes, etc. Red crops.

The meaning of the name Kumamon is also almost drawn up.

"Then the next step is Kumamon's standard cute moves."

Higashino Division pondered and opened the first few pages of the sketchbook.

It is densely packed with Kumamon's movements.

His next job is to choose the most suitable action for the actor to perform from so many cute moves.

It seems that this is a big project, but Higashinoji also has the memory of his previous life to assist, so it won't take long.

After nearly two hours of cutting and deleting in this way, Higashino finally finalized three actions.

The first movement is that Kumamon spreads his feet and raises his hands high.

This action is similar to the action of welcoming tourists, but the round feet that are spread apart give Kumamon's welcome action an extra sense of humor and cuteness.

The second action is equivalent to the action of interacting with tourists - Kumamon stretches out his hand with a 'snap', his head is lowered, and the cute expression hangs on the bear's face, which makes people feel funny and cute when they see it.

The third action is to bid farewell to tourists. Kumamon tilted his head, waved forward, and smiled while covering his mouth with one hand.

These three actions were carefully selected by Higashino, in order to fully express Kumamon's cute and simple and cute character, and also to facilitate the interaction between Kumamon and tourists.

Higashino drew very carefully, and repeatedly referred to the image of Kumamon in his memory and the image of Kumamon in his hand.

"This should be almost the same. Kumamon's basic movements are these few."

Higashinoji stopped writing, let out a deep breath, and then turned his head to look at the time beside him—it was past twelve o'clock.

It has to be said that he tends to forget the time as soon as he starts working.

Even Higashino Division is a bit tired at this time.

After all, he walked around outside all day today, accompanying Chihaya Higashino for various sightseeing.

"have a rest."

Higashino put the sketchbook back, brushed his teeth again, and then went to bed.

The overall image of Kumamon is 70.00% complete.

But to be honest, Higashino Division's work is almost done here.

It depends on what kind of Kumamon actor Miruto can find and perform it vividly.

Kumamon's movements definitely need to be modified. After all, Higashino has to consider the difficulty of the actor's performance after wearing Kumamon's holster.

But that was after Shenmu Qiren found the leather actor.

As for now, I can only rest.

The next day, Higashino Division got a newly opened laptop computer from Shen Mu Qiren.

This surprised Higashinoji somewhat.

Even in Japan, a 2003 laptop was a rarity.

After all, the popularity of this thing is not wide, and Japan is an extremely nostalgic country-even if there are more convenient full-screen smartphones in Japan in the future, clamshell phones are still widely used by the Japanese.

So Higashinoji was surprised that Shenmu Qiren could get such a laptop, but at the same time he was a little moved.

It seems that Shenmu Qiren regards herself as her last hope, and her salary is basically full.

There is really anything you want.

The other party treated him like this, and Higashinoji naturally did not intend to disappoint the other party. After taking the computer, he went back to the room and started making PPT slides.

He has already thought about the specific direction—preparing the description copy of the image of Kumamon and the specific explanation of the image.

When the PPT is finished, let the county councilors of the county government read it

This time, the mascot of Kumamoto Prefecture should have been almost taken by him.

As for Hayakawasu and the others?

Uh.

Then it's not within the scope of Dong Yesi's consideration.
