Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 164 Brother, Will You Marry My Sister? (There are two more updates)

After listening to the explanations of these people, Higashino finally understood the situation of the 'snowman' Riko Hasegawa by the door of the Capital Animation Production Company.

Isn't this completely excluded from the industry?

Tonoji shook his head.

Riko Hasegawa is now considered a freelance artist without an agency, seemingly carefree and not under the control of an agency, but in fact she is not.

Many people say that Japan has always been a society where academic qualifications are paramount, but in fact, there is another word before academic qualifications-superior-subordinate relationship.

No matter how capable you are in the workplace, you must follow your predecessors. Compared with the human society of the Celestial Dynasty, the relationship between superiors and subordinates in Japan is more distorted.

The so-called 'down to the top' only exists in a few cases and TV dramas.

In addition, the Japanese animation industry is one-size-fits-all, and relationships need to be managed everywhere.

As long as the firm that Riko Hasegawa offended said hello to the animation production company in the industry, it is basically impossible for other animation production companies to adopt her as a voice actor-how can manpower beat the capital?

Moreover, the work of dubbing is inherently related, and it is basically impossible for an animation production company to recruit a freelance voice actor who does not even have an office.

In short, Riko Hasegawa basically has no hope of turning over.

Unless Riko Hasegawa meets a noble person, appreciates her very much, and makes an exception for her to come up for an audition, it is impossible to succeed.

As for what the staff of the animation production team said about Riko Hasegawa only playing good roles, and looking down on secondary roles

This is what the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise see the wisdom. Higashino has always believed half of this kind of rhetoric, and half of it.

After all, this is purely unilateral rhetoric from the firm.

Satisfying his curiosity, Higashino returned to his seat and began to draw the original painting. He continued to draw until after six o'clock in the afternoon, when Fujiwara Aoi called - they had already had dinner with Higashino Chihaya, so Higashino didn't have to. Just leave them alone and eat outside.

"I'm really hungry."

Higashino Division hung up the phone, and after being reminded by Aoi Fujiwara just now, he realized that he was indeed a little hungry.

And it's already past six o'clock now, the other original painters in the creative team got off work early, and only he and Heigong Mingsha were left fighting alone.

So Higashinoji thought for a while, then turned to look at Kuromiya Meisa beside her, and wanted to ask her if she wanted to have a meal together.

After all, they can be regarded as partners of the production team, so it shouldn't be a big problem to have a meal together.

But the movement didn't stop until halfway through.

Because Kurogong Meisha was looking at him at this moment.

That might be a little inaccurate.

It was the other party who was looking at the original painting that had not been colored under his hand.

Her eyes were fixed on it, her eyebrows were furrowed, and her fingers were gesticulating on the manuscript paper from time to time, as if she was thinking about how Dongyesi drew this.

Kuromiya Mingsa was so engrossed that her head almost reached the table in front of Higashinoji, and she didn't even notice that Higashinoji was looking at her.

This made Higashino feel a little funny for some reason, he didn't call Kurogong Mingsha at all, and just looked at Kurogong Mingsa, wanting to see when she would react.

About 3 minutes later, Kuromiya Mingsa seemed a little tired, she raised her head and wanted to rub her eyes, and then she saw Higashino Division, and she was shocked, her whole shoulder shook: "Mr. Higashino, you Why are you still here?"

In fact, it was really startled.

Kuromiya Mingsa has been reading Higashinoji's original manuscript, and she doesn't care whether he is there or not. In addition, Higashinoji's "Midnight Bell" manuscript is already scary, and she gets goosebumps all over her body when she reads it.At this time, a big face suddenly appeared next to her, no less than a grimace in a horror movie - how could she not be frightened?

However, Kuromiya Mingsa's remarks left Higashinosi quite speechless.

Am I just so invisible?Sitting by for so long and you haven't reacted yet?

But forget it.

Higashinosi shook his head, but still greeted Heomiya Mingsha next to him: "Senior Heigong, do you want to have a meal together?"

Have a meal?

It was only then that Kuromiya Meisha realized that she looked down at her stomach, then at Higashinosi, and nodded in response: "Okay."

Now that the decision has been made, Higashinoji and Kuromiya Meisa did not continue to dawdle here.

After packing up their things, the two went out and left.

It is worth mentioning that as soon as Higashinoji and Kuromiya Meisa stood up, a neat voice of "You have worked hard" sounded next to them.

This made Higashino shook his head, he was still not used to this kind of working environment.

As for Heigong Mingsha next to her, she also frowned. She prefers quiet by nature, and doesn't like this kind of noisy environment.

As for where to go and what to eat, this is up to Kuromiya Meisa to arrange for Higashinoji.

After all, Higashino has only been in Tokyo for half a year, and he basically cooks and eats at home. Occasionally, he goes out to eat to collect material for "The Lonely Gourmet", so he doesn't know much about the Shinjuku area of ​​the capital animation production company.

However, I heard that Kabukicho, Shinjuku, Tokyo is a good place to eat, and Higashinoji is still a little interested.

The two quickly left the attached building and walked towards the main building.

After leaving the main building, Higashino took a sideways look to see if 'Snowman' was still there.

He just glanced at it and didn't have any expectations at all.

After all, it's icy and snowy, the road has been covered with snow, so the other party probably won't be here, right?

Uh

Dong Yesi showed a look of astonishment.

It really made him unexpected that Riko Hasegawa was still there.

The other party was still wearing a fur hat, earmuffs, and his hands were holding a cup of hot coffee with big white gloves. His feet were moving, and he was wearing a lot of clothes and looked a little bloated. He looked like a big man by jumping left and right. penguin.

She coughed a few times, exhaled white air, and the coffee in her hand was steaming, which made the exposed half of her face a little red.

She felt the heat from the coffee cup, then lowered her head, looking very cautious, and took a shallow sip of hot coffee. After taking a sip of coffee, she raised her head and looked around vigilantly, as if she was worried about the part where she sneaked in during her busy schedule. During the time, she missed the opportunity to dub.

This has been standing all afternoon, right?

Higashino raised his eyebrows, just as he was thinking about this, he found that the other party glanced at his watch, hesitated for a while, and finally left with his small wooden sign.

Looking at her disappearing figure, Dong Yesi also sighed a little.

It can be seen that this girl really wants to find a voice-over job.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so hard.

But just standing at the door is basically hopeless.

At most, it is to make people have an impression of her, but no one will recommend her upwards.

Higashinoji collected his thoughts, and apologized to Kuromiya Mingsa who had not spoken before:

"I'm sorry, Senior Sister Heigong, I was more concerned about some things just now."

Although I have observed Hasegawa Riko, it is not appropriate to drag Kuromiya Meisa to suffer from the freezing together in this freezing weather.

The key point is that Heomiya Meisha herself is also a boring gourd. When she saw Higashinoji stop, she stopped herself, without urging her, but just stood there quietly, waiting for Higashinoji.

At this time, when she heard Higashino Si's apology, she just gave a soft 'hmm', and then continued to lead the way.

The two of them walked straight forward like this, and soon arrived at the Kabukicho area in Shinjuku District.

Kabukicho, a large red light district in Japan, has a dense distribution of nightclubs and custom shops, and is also very famous to the outside world.

But apart from these more or less colorful places, there are also many regular restaurants distributed here. As long as you don’t look for it specially, this can basically be regarded as a place for office workers to drink leisurely after get off work and go crazy.

Meisa Kuromiya is obviously very familiar with the environment here. After all, there is a buddy named Chuan Qianmei who loves to play. Usually, she will accompany her to take a stroll here—of course, during the day.

Meisa Kuromiya quickly selected a sukiyaki restaurant with Higashinoji

From what she said, this sukiyaki pot seems to be delicious.

Higashino Division naturally nodded at this, and followed her into it.

This is a reasonably spacious sukiyaki restaurant.

The style of this sukiyaki restaurant is Zen-style, covered with black cloth, and there are two big beckoning cats on the counter next to it, tatami mats, Japanese sliding doors, and "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" is hung on the wall next to it. "A copy of this famous painting, the ceiling lamp in the shape of a mosquito coil above the head exudes a light yellow brilliance, extending inward, the wallpaper on both sides looks a bit old, and there are obvious curl marks on the edge

It can be seen that this should be an old store.

Higashinoji became more or less interested, so he took off his shoes and stepped on the tatami, and followed Kuromiya Meisha all the way inside.

The two of them just found a separate small room to sit down, and before they had time to warm their feet, a small figure ran in from outside.

It was a little girl, judging from her age, she should have just entered kindergarten, with straight bangs, a baby-fat face, and big eyes. She looked chubby and cute.

When she saw Heigong Mingsha, she raised her head halfway, half of her body was close to Heigong Mingsha, and she put her index finger to her mouth and asked childishly, "Big sister, do you want a voice actor?"

what?

The child's sudden approach made Heigong Mingsha open her mouth wide without knowing what to do.

She has a quiet personality. Although she likes children, she belongs to the type of children who don't know what to do when they get too close, and have a confused face.

Just when she was at a loss, she only felt light on her body.

It turned out that Dong Yesi picked up the little girl and asked her cheerfully, "Little sister, what's your name?"

He guessed that this was the shopkeeper's daughter, and the shopkeeper was a little busy there, so he didn't pay attention to her and let her come here.

The little girl was stunned by Higashinoji's action all of a sudden, but she was not afraid of strangers at all. Her big black and white eyes looked at Higashinosi naively, and it took a while before she asked Higashinoji strangely. : "Brother, why are you so good-looking? Will you marry my sister?"

Children are talking nonsense and telling the truth.

Dong Yesi smiled and patted her on the head before asking her: "Before you ask a question, you have to answer your brother's question first."

"I, my name is Sachiko Hasegawa, and I'm five years old this year."

Hasegawa?

This surname is somewhat familiar.

Higashinoji thought of Riko Hasegawa who was at the gate of the Tokyo Animation Production Company before.

But soon he put the idea behind him - how could it be such a coincidence?

"It's called Xingzi." Higashinosi touched her head, just about to continue asking: "Where did you come from?"

He only said half of what he said, and was blocked by Sachiko Hasegawa as soon as he spoke.

"I already told my brother's name. Shouldn't my brother answer my question first?"

She raised her head stupidly.

Don't tell me, she looks stupid, but she is not stupid at all, and she knows how to ask back.

But Higashino didn't panic about this, and just answered her cheerfully: "That's different, my brother is older than you, so I can ask you two questions first, I already asked one just now, and now I have another one."

"Is that so?" Sachiko Hasegawa rubbed her head.

She was so fooled that she felt a little strange, but she couldn't tell.

But Sachiko Hasegawa was still obedient and nodded vigorously: "I slipped here from Sister Lizi."

"Sister Lizi?" Dongyesi coughed, a little surprised.

Is it really Riko Hasegawa?

He wanted to ask again, but was quickly interrupted by Sachiko Hasegawa: "Brother, brother, it's time for you to answer my question. Will you marry my sister?"

Alright

Higashino Division was a little speechless about Hasegawa Sachiko's behavior.

Is it your sister who has been abusing you?You want to sell her so much?

So he thought for a while and then said, "Brother is 17 years old now, and Sachiko is five years old. I'm 12 years older than Sachiko. One year old is one question, so I can ask you twelve more questions."

"Huh?" Sachiko Hasegawa was stunned.

She stretched out her chubby hands, trying to count with ten fingers, and she was still saying '17 minus 5'.

But soon, Sachiko Hasegawa found that her fingers seemed to be a bit insufficient, her eyes widened, and the whole person stayed in place, with her eyes straight, she felt helpless.

"Does Sachiko want to answer my twelve questions now?"

Dong Yesi fooled her again.

This made Sachiko Hasegawa even more confused. After thinking for a long time, she raised her head and asked Higashino, "Brother, how much is 12?"

"" Higashino Division, Kuromiya Meisha.

Just as Higashinoji was about to answer, footsteps came from outside the door.

Then, the sliding door was opened, and a girl wearing a white headscarf and a navy blue clerk apron came in. She was carrying a tray with hot towels on it, and she was going to hand it over to Higashinoji and Kuromiya Meisa, and asked them what they were eating

But soon, the girl saw Sachiko Hasegawa who was still struggling with subtracting 17 from 5, so she cried out:

"Sachiko? Why are you here?"
