Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 175 The New Year Has Passed (4000 words)

December 31st is known in Japan as the Great Darkness Day, also known as the Japanese New Year.

After years of high-intensity work, today's Shuikou Xiangzi can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

I have worked hard for a year, and I have won a lot of reputation. I will take a break today and work hard after the new year.

Koko Mizuguchi followed Shioka's agent around to visit in the morning, and sent greeting cards to the major producers and animation supervisors.

And with the sending out of the last greeting card, all the work of Mizuguchi Xiangzi this year is equivalent to the end.

In the afternoon, she lies at home to rest, comfortably opening a can of beer, watching her favorite TV series while looking at her mobile phone from time to time.

Today is probably the time for "Midnight Ring" to announce the casting results. She feels that she has won it firmly, so she is quite happy about it.

The can of beer in my hand is considered a celebration wine.

Lying lazily on the bed until the afternoon, Mizuguchi Xiangzi didn't wait for the "Midnight Ring" production team to announce the news, but waited for another call.

It was Riko Hasegawa calling!

Koko Mizuguchi was a little concerned about the actor Higashinoji was still optimistic about. At that time, she hugged and made a friend, and then made friends with Kamihigashinoji through Hasegawa Riko, so she told her her mobile phone number.

But why did she suddenly call herself?

Shuikou Xiangzi turned over from the beige bed sheet, feeling a little strange in her heart.

Could it be because he lost the election?So you want to break the news to me?

Shuikou Xiangzi felt that he might have groaned, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this might be the case.

Maybe he wanted to complain to himself. Forget it, Dongyesi has one thigh, and his relationship is also related, so I still need to comfort him here.

After the consolation, you can also call Hasegawa Lizi to attend your celebration party by the way, and then comfort Hasegawa Lizi again.

Thinking of this, Koko Mizuguchi connected the phone, and when she was still thinking about what to say to comfort Riko Hasegawa, Liko Hasegawa on the other side said happily: "Miss Mizuguchi! I succeeded!"

ah?succeeded?

Shuikou Xiangzi felt something was wrong when he heard this.

you made it?success what?Successfully lost?

"I managed to get the role of Reiko Asakawa in "Midnight Ring"! It's exactly what you said, Ms. Mizuguchi!"

"Hey?" Shuikou Xiangzi couldn't help but patted his head when he heard this: "Ali, what are you talking about? Ms. Hasegawa?"

She was so shocked that she couldn't even speak standard Chinese.

"I successfully won the role of Reiko Asakawa! Thank you for your kind words!"

Riko Hasegawa added another sentence.

"Oh that's right"

Shuikou Xiangzi felt that he was in a dream, and everything he saw was a bit unreal, so he said "oh" twice with a vague expression.

The conversation that follows is easy.

Riko Hasegawa comforted Koko Mizuguchi, and at the same time expressed the hope that she could go to the celebration party

This contrast made Shuikou Xiangzi and Monk Zhanger puzzled.

Why is it happening like that?It shouldn't be, shouldn't I comfort you, and then let you come to my celebration party?

I have it all planned.

Why don't you follow the script?

Why did the world turn upside down all of a sudden?Am I still drunk after drinking a little wine?

Koko Mizuguchi said "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" for a while, agreed to go to Riko Hasegawa's celebration party, then put down her phone and beer, staring blankly at the TV screen for a long time.

She just came back to her senses.

"No way?"

Mizuguchi Xiangzi thought about what Riko Hasegawa said just now, and wondered if the production team of "Midnight Ring" notified the wrong person?It was supposed to notify her, but the notification went to Riko Hasegawa

"It's impossible, which production team would make such a low-level mistake?"

Shui Kou Xiangzi shook his head.

"According to the video can't be P, so it's real", she finally accepted the fact that she lost the election.

But what exactly went wrong?

Shuikouxiangzi was a little puzzled.

Is it true that the hard power is not better than the opponent?

The most important thing is whether she will go to the celebration party or not?

She thought for a long time, and finally put the beer can back on the table, stood up and took out the clothes she went out: "I still have to go."

Mizuguchi Koko's EQ is not low. She knows that if Riko Hasegawa really wins this role by relying on basic skills, then the other party's reputation will definitely rise after "Midnight Ring" is released.

At that time, the other party will also be a well-known voice actor, so it is the correct way to make friends with Riko Hasegawa before she is famous.

She is not like some idiots who offend the people in the circle with some talent and talent.

There is no need to turn against others because of a role.

After all, the circle of Japanese voice actors is very small, and there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

If you can make friends, of course you still have to make friends.

As for the role of Reiko Asakawa?

If the skills are not as good as others, then there is nothing to talk about, but if Riko Hasegawa walks through the back door, the audience's eyes will be sharp.

And now

I still have to take a look, at least to make friends with Riko Hasegawa.

"It's the New Year's holiday after all. Are you going to work again?"

Shuikou Xiangzi sighed deeply, feeling helpless.

And on the other side.

The annual meeting of "Chill" magazine was held at the end of the year, which happened to be after the conversation between Higashinoji and Konoe Tsushima.

A large publishing house like Urashima Publishing House holds an annual meeting at the end of the year, and basically the authors who are serializing will receive an invitation to participate in the annual meeting.

As the mainstay author of "Aversion to Chill", Higashino naturally received an invitation to the annual meeting.

In this regard, Higashino Division did not refuse, but went directly to the annual meeting.

After all, in addition to some comic book authors, the participants of the annual meeting of "Aversion to Chill" also include animation, film, and investors and producers from all walks of life.

As the biggest contributor to "The Chill" this year, Higashino has naturally received the favor of many investors and producers. He is surrounded by a group of producers, and Mr. Higashino is very lively.

Similarly, he also received many business cards from producers and investors.

These are all interpersonal relationships. Of course, Higashino is also smiling, and manage them one by one.

This year's "Aversion to Cold" can be regarded as a beautiful turnaround, stabilizing the original declining sales volume, and even increasing it.

That's why Urashima Publishing House was also very generous, and directly booked the venue, and all kinds of Japanese dishes were neatly arranged on the table, which looked very appetizing.

Higashino Division roughly ate something at the venue, and by the way, he also won a TV in the lucky draw of the annual meeting.

This result can be regarded as perfect, and Higashino Division is also satisfied.

After the annual meeting is over, it is natural that December 31st is the time to prepare for what will happen after January [-]st.

Higashino Division has also received many New Year gifts this year.

One is a hot spring steamed bun sent by Urashima Publishing House. It seems that the entire editorial department organized a trip to Gunma Prefecture to soak in the hot springs. In the name of the editorial department, two boxes of hot spring steamed buns were sent, and a New Year's letter was attached, "Thanks to Mr. Dongye for taking care of me this year, and I hope you will take care of me next year."

The other is some pickles and melons and fruits sent by Xiaochun Hosokawa.

She said that she didn't want to go home, but she couldn't help it when it was a holiday, and went back to her hometown, and then sent these things and the New Year's certificate to Dong Yesi.

There is also a gift from Beiyiju High School. Ryuichi Yoshimine has not forgotten the signboard of Beiyijuku Higashino, of course he has to express it during the Chinese New Year.

There are also things sent by Daohong Motohashi, Shiguang Toda, and many people who met through the annual meeting of "Bad Chill".

Dong Yesi took a careful inventory and found that there were as many as ten copies.

Of course, these are all for the New Year's greetings and gifts, which can be regarded as a big project.

Apart from these, the last thing to send over is the New Year's gift of Fujiwara Aoi and Takahashi Yumi.

It is the kind of very ordinary Japanese dim sum, which is very good for walking.

The two of them were already acquaintances, so they didn't use the method of sending things at all. Instead, they visited directly and gave the New Year's gift and the New Year's letter to Dongyesi.

"Thank you for taking care of me this year! Higashino-sensei (student)."

Fujiwara Aoi and Takahashi Yumi bowed to Higashinoji.

"Happy New Year."

Higashino nodded with a smile, and glanced at Takahashi Yumi who was shivering in the winter wearing a yukata, feeling a little speechless.

Do you still need to wear a bathrobe in such cold weather?Aren't you torturing yourself?

As if aware of Higashinoji's gaze, Takahashi Yumi puffed up her chest, not only was not ashamed, but also walked around in front of Higashinosi generously: "Mr. "

"It's pretty."

Tonoji nodded.

With black and smooth bangs, a healthy face, and a light pink yukata, I have to say that Takahashi Yumi is really pretty.

"It looks good but it's a little bit cold." Takahashi Yumi rubbed her hands together and smiled.

Naturally, she didn't come here wearing a bathrobe all the way. The bag she carried in her hand contained a wrapped coat, and she changed the coat when she arrived at Dongyesi's house, in order to surprise Dongyesi.

When Fujiwara Aoi next to her heard this, she was scolded by a stupid pig.

She was wearing thick clothes, which can be said to be camouflaged to the teeth. She looked like Takahashi Yumi, and she still wore this stuff in such a cold weather.

"" Higashino Division.

You know it's cold too?

He deliberately didn't mention this matter just now, but he didn't expect Yumi Takahashi to speak up on his own initiative.

But Higashino didn't care, he smiled and waved his hands: "In this case, come to my house to rest for a while, I'll make rice cake soup to warm you up."

After all, when you go to the countryside, you do as the Romans do. Although Dong Yesi can't feel any festive atmosphere, he still cooks a table of New Year's dishes and red bean soup with rice cakes according to the traditional customs here.

He simply let the two of them stay for dinner.

I and Higashino Chihaya can't eat that much.

It is worth mentioning here that Higashino Chihaya saw Takahashi Yumi wearing a yukata, so she wanted to put on a yukata noisily.

In my impression, Chihaya Higashino did have a yukata, and Tsukasa Higashino looked for it based on his memory, and he really found a yukata.

It was a deep blue carved bathrobe, which looked very mature.

I don't know what kind of girl Higashino Chihaya was before she was mentally traumatized, but she actually likes this kind of mature yukata that high school girls can't control.

Higashino Chihaya put on a carved dark blue yukata, stepped on white silk foot pocket socks, showed a sweet smile, clapped her hands, and sang Japanese folk songs softly with Takahashi Yumi. Even a mature and stable yukata was cheerful and lovely in her eyes. Under the expression, it seems to be driven lively

It's okay to wear this stuff indoors for a festive atmosphere.

Higashinoji reached out and gently touched her head, and at the same time accompanied Takahashi Yumi and Fujiwara Aoi to sweep away half of the New Year's dishes.

In this way until the evening, Higashino Division sent away the contented Takahashi Yumi and Fujiwara Aoi.

"It's so comfortable!" Takahashi Yumi couldn't help but screamed on the way home.

Aoi Fujiwara next to him didn't speak after hearing this, but just glanced at Takahashi Yumi calmly.

This guy drank a lot of rice cake and red bean soup at Higashinosi's house just now. After a whole day of laziness, he would feel comfortable and normal.

"Hey, if Lianghua didn't attack too quickly, it's a pity that I can't be a big one." Takahashi Yumi smacked her lips.

"Huh?" Fujiwara Aoi became more and more confused: "What are you going to do? Let me tell you, you must never get Higashino's idea, that is Suzuka's boyfriend."

"Ah? What are you talking about?" Takahashi Yumi glanced at her in a daze: "I just want to be Chihaya's sister. I remember that Lianghua is Chihaya's adopted sister? She preempted her." Well, I'm just a little bit unsatisfied."

As she spoke, she sighed again: "I can't be a righteous sister, I can only be a little righteous sister. If I can become a big one, I'd rather send you, Akui, to Teacher Dongye."

"You stupid pig!"

Fujiwara Aoi was so angry at the sharp turn behind her that she vomited blood.

She doesn't know if Konoe Lianghua recognizes Higashino Chihaya as her righteous sister, but your turn is too outrageous!

Fujiwara Aoi kicked Takahashi Yumi's ass, and left in such a noisy manner.

On the other side, as the time gradually approached twelve o'clock, Higashinoji also stood up from the stove and began to prepare the soba noodles for tonight.

Just like the Chinese custom of eating dumplings on New Year’s Eve, Japan also has the custom of eating soba noodles on New Year’s Eve.

He reconciled the buckwheat noodles, put them there until the dough fermented, and watched the red and white song with Higashino Chihaya for a long time.

The Red and White Song Club is equivalent to Japan's Spring Festival Gala, but the specific form of expression is different. It is to gather popular male singers and female singers this year. The women are the red team and the men are the white team. Both sides sing in front of each other.

Higashinoji just glanced at it and was not interested, so he got up and started making soba noodles.

The soba noodles were ready very quickly. It was a traditional kind of soba noodles. Higashinoji had a strong seasoning, but Higashino Chihaya still had a good time eating it.

The time came so slowly to twelve o'clock.

With the ringing of the New Year's bell, Higashino Chihaya also ran to Dongye Si in two or three steps, hugging him: "Thank you this year, Asi! I will also take care of Asi in the coming year!"

To this, Dong Yesi naturally smiled and nodded.

It was quiet outside.

All the hustle and bustle seemed to go away.

Yes

The new year has passed.
