Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 197 Why Are There So Many Men (4000 words)

After Higashinoji was notified of the nomination for the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award on the first floor of Yamauchi, Higashinoji was also called by Yoshimine Ryuichi for a special trip.

Ryuichi Yoshimine also showed Higashinoji the vertical banner he had written - Higashinoji was a little speechless after just looking at it.

If you write a vertical frame, you just write a vertical frame. What do you mean by framing the vertical frame?

Is this too expensive?

And the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award is just a nomination, and you didn't say that I have already been selected. Why are you more excited than me?

Higashinoji was a little speechless, and at the same time thought of the vertical banner at the Tokyo Youth Painting Award, and wondered if it was also written by Yoshimine Ryuichi, right?

Ryuichi Yoshimine, who was next to him, didn't care. He patted Higashinoji's shoulder with a smile and said that I believe in you very much. You will definitely come back for the sake of our school.

He looked enthusiastic about making this vertical banner into a square flag and sticking it behind him, and after a long period of contact with Higashino, he let him leave. Both in and out of his words were hinting at Higashino—you Musashino Art I will keep the recommendation quota of the university, so there is absolutely no need to worry.

This made Higashino Tsukasa a little bit more thoughtful. He had actually guaranteed admission to Musashino Art University, and now the key was how to get Konoe Suzuka in.

Let's ask Yoshimine Ryuichi another day, the other party may have a way to get Konoe Lianghua in.

Thinking about it this way, Higashinosi also turned around and went home.

"Mr. Higashino! Congratulations on being nominated for the Art Creation Grand Prize and the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award!" Nagawa Chimi cheerfully blew off the paper fireworks, and this action directly sprayed the paper fireworks all over Higashino.

She only called Higashinoji 'teacher' recently, and the reason is very simple: even Kuromiya Meisa is called Higashinoji teacher, and she calls her junior again, so her seniority is a bit messed up, so she called it together with Kuromiya Meisa Higashino Division 'teacher'.

Dong Yesi also inexplicably gained another apprentice.

But after thinking about it, he also felt that it's okay to call it whatever you like, it's just a name.

As for why the other party knew that she had won the prize, it was probably told by Yamauchi First Floor. Given her crazy temperament similar to Takahashi Yumi, it was only natural that she came here to celebrate him.

"Are you free from class this afternoon? Qianmei?" Higashinosi tore off the paper fireworks on his body and asked.

"I have class this afternoon, but I skipped class." Ming Chuan Qianmei replied cheerfully: "I know what class you still have after you win the prize, Master, so hurry up and celebrate."

Higashino sighed a little after hearing her words, you are not celebrating me, are you?Just wanted to come and play.

And this time period should be the class on the first floor of Yamauchi, right?Mingchuan Qianmei is really big-hearted, and she is not afraid that the first floor of Yamauchi will give her a hard time, and she will not even be allowed to graduate.

But forget it, the visitor is the guest.

Dong Yesi entered the room, and then saw all kinds of dishes on the table inside the room.

"These are all the dishes that Mingsha paid for at the restaurant." Nagawa Qianmei followed behind and explained: "She has to finish the class of Teacher Yamauchi before coming here. I made her skip class."

She complained from behind, but Higashinoji next to her felt that Kuromiya Mingsa had a heart.

After all, it is quite troublesome to make a special trip to order this table to come to your door, and it should cost a lot of money depending on the level of sophistication.

Unexpectedly, Master Heigong Mingsha had a cold face and a warm heart, and even though he didn't even call to congratulate, he secretly prepared such a table.

Indeed!It is not in vain to train you as a teacher.

Seeing Higashino Si come back, Higashino Chihaya also ran to Dong Yesi's side in a jump, talking to him cheerfully.

Her thinking circuit is very simple - it must be a good thing to have an extra table of food in the house.

Of course Higashino Chihaya was happy about this.

Higashino Tsukasa chatted with Higashino Chihaya and Nagawa Chimi for a while, and the apartment doorbell rang again.

But before he had time to open the door, he heard a quarrel outside the door——

"Idiot! Don't do this! It will cause trouble for Higashino-san!" Fujiwara Aoi lowered her voice, as if she was grabbing something.

"Akui, you really don't understand anything, so you're celebrating Higashino-sensei. Don't stop me." Takahashi Yumi didn't care what she said at all.

Higashinoji was baffled by what he heard, so he simply stretched out his hand to pull the door, and then saw Takahashi Yumi holding a paper firecracker in his hand and was about to pull it in his face.

But she pulled it twice and it didn't make any sound at all, and her delicate and healthy face was full of strange expressions: "Huh? Why can't it make a sound? Did I buy a squib?"

Dongyesi was speechless for a while.

This guy is really in the same brain circuit as Nagawa Qianmei, and he also bought paper fireworks to pull.

It's cool to play this thing for a while, but it's quite time-consuming to clean, so don't pull it if you can.

Seeing that Takahashi Yumi's mischief failed, Fujiwara Aoi breathed a sigh of relief, her face was full of sarcasm; "I knew, you stupid pig, you can even buy a paper firecracker into a squib—"

Bang!

Before she could finish her sentence, Yumi Takahashi sprayed her face with a fireworks display.

"Sure enough, it's still good." Takahashi Yumi looked at the effect of the fireworks display with a happy face.

But compared to her happy face, Fujiwara Aoi next to her was almost so angry that she shut herself up. If Higashino hadn't held Fujiwara Aoi, maybe the two of them would have a Mortal Kombat fight. Fujiwara Aoi would not be able to defeat Takahashi Yumi Yes, Yumi Takahashi has been exercising, and she is taller than Aoi Fujiwara, but Yumi Takahashi has been letting Aoi Fujiwara, and there is no time to really fight with her.

This is probably the reason why the two of them can be childhood sweethearts for a long time.

Higashino Division stepped aside, greeted the two of them into the room with a smile, and received gifts from the two of them.

The gifts were not expensive, and it was said that Fujiwara Aoi and Takahashi Yumi's parents helped them choose them.

Their parents also knew that they had contacts with Dong Yesi, so of course they followed suit.

Several people walked into the room, and Konoe Suzuka and Kuromiya Meisa, who had finished painting in the studio soon, also came over.

Now the celebration banquet can be regarded as the official start.

Meisa Kuromiya remained silent as always, and only said, 'Congratulations to Mr. Higashino for being nominated for the Gold Award and the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award'.

He didn't say a word of other compliments and occasional remarks.

If this were placed on someone else, they would definitely be dissatisfied with Heomiya Mingsha's overly quiet performance.

But Higashino knew that Meisa Kuromiya simply didn't know how to compliment others, and only knew about Huahua's personality, so he didn't care much.

And Konoe Lianghua is a boring gourd, unable to hold back a good word for a long time, and finally secretly glanced left and right, and when she found that no one cared about her side, she approached Higashinosi's ear and whispered: "A Si, congratulations."

The celebration banquet can be regarded as the official start.

Sitting next to him, Meisha Kurogong stared at Higashinoji's empty bowl, silently adding vegetables to Higashinoji's bowl respectfully at the edge of the table.

Konoe Suzuka still felt a little uncomfortable with Kuromiya Meisa's actions. After all, Higashinoji was her boyfriend Kuromiya Meisa, and her actions that were full of Zheng Gongfan made her feel full of danger.

But all this psychological crisis dissipated when Heigong Mingsha suddenly turned her head and called her "Ms. Niang".

Konoe Lianghua was eating with a bowl at first, but when she heard the voice of "Ms. Niang", she stared flatly, grabbed her neck with both hands, almost choked to death on the rice, and drank three cups of water before she managed to slow down. Passed.

She is really embarrassed. After all, she has no ability at all, and she really has a guilty conscience when she is a teacher.

On the other side, Higashino Division is teasing Higashino Chihaya.

She didn't know what the "Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award" was. She always called it "Asi Asi". She was also curious to ask Higashino if he won the award for the competition held in the school, and whether there would be little red flowers and certificates to win

Dong Yesi also told her that it was not the school's award, it was slightly bigger than the school's award, but it was not far behind.

After hearing these words, Higashino Chihaya also stood up, gently patted Higashino Si's head, with a worried face on his face: "Then Asi, don't be proud just because you have achieved a little achievement, and strive to win some big prizes when you grow up!"

On the other side, Chimi Nagawa's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably after hearing this.

Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award for Small Achievements

This small achievement is not too much to say that 90.00% of Japanese youths are [-].

Even Meisa Kuromiya, whom Chimi Nagawa has always valued, feels that it is basically impossible for her to win such an award in her 20s.

Teacher Dongye is really good.

She sighed and started to eat again.

Bastard, if you lament that you don't eat, you will probably be wiped out by Takahashi Yumi and Konoe Suzuka!

Two days later, Higashino Division officially received news from the Ministry of Education: Higashino Division has indeed won the award.

Just as he thought, the award-winning work was "Kumamon Kumamoto Design in Kumamoto Prefecture".

This award is indeed a surprise.

Originally, Higashino Division thought that it would be the first to win the Japan Mascot Award - a very famous Japanese mascot selection competition, which has been held for many sessions. In April, the mascot will be selected for storage, and it will be around October in autumn. It's time to end the selection of the most popular mascot.

The reality is still unexpected.

Higashino shook his head, and at the same time learned the specific date of the award from the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, which is March [-]th next week.

It is said that the award ceremony will be broadcast live simultaneously on NHK's program. It is estimated that many media people will interview the winners. (Japan's NHK's status in TV stations is similar to that of China's CCTV).

The award-winning department of Higashino Division's Kumamon belongs to the art planning department, which can be regarded as a department related to mascot design and graphic design.

And there are very few people who have won awards in this department. This year, Dongyesi won this award alone, which can be regarded as Dongyesi's thriving.

Of course, this movement did not escape the eyes of the Japanese media. During the Kumamon New Year Carnival during the Chinese New Year, many people criticized the Kumamoto prefectural government for deliberately making fun of Kumamon.

But now after Kumamon won the award, many people came forward to praise Kumamon and Higashinoji. They all said that Kumamon was well designed and deserved the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award.Its face-changing speed is comparable to that of a chameleon.

After learning that Higashino Division had won the award, many people took the initiative to call to congratulate him, and of course they also included Qiren Shenmu and the others.

After all, the Shinkansen is about to open to traffic, and Higashinoji Kumamon won the award. This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for them, of course congratulations.

Then came a group of people from Urashima Publishing House.

Hosokawa Koharu and the editor-in-chief Urashima came directly to express their thanks, and at the same time, the editor-in-chief Urashima on the other side also urged me a little embarrassedly——Mr. Higashino, your work has been finished for more than a month, and it’s about time , it's almost time to come up with a new work, right?

He sighed, expressing that he was looking forward to Higashino Division's new work, and Hosokawa Koharu was speechless for a while and then smiled.

Hosokawa Koharu also felt very regretful in her heart. If the winners this time were comics such as "Midnight Bell" or "The Winner Is Justice", she, the editor, could also go to the award venue to see it together—— That was her long-cherished dream of becoming a famous editor.

After seeing off Hosokawa Koharu, a lot of people from the production team of "Midnight Ring" also called, whether they knew each other or not, they all called to congratulate, even Masao Matsuda, who was warned by Higashino Tsukasa once, I talked with him on the phone for a long time with a smile.

This made Higashino couldn't help but sigh a little, this Japanese workplace is too realistic.

Their statement made Higashino once again understand the gold content of the "Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award".

At this point, even Higashinoji has a sense of accomplishment.

After all, no matter when, success is always intoxicating.

But the intoxication is all intoxication, Higashino Division is not completely immersed in the success, because indeed, as the editor-in-chief Urashima said, it is almost time for him to come up with a new manga work.

"The Winner Is Justice" has been finished for a month, and he only has "The Lonely Gourmet" still in serial, and this spare time is really not comfortable.

He once again entered the stage of thinking about which manga to draw.

And while Higashinoji was thinking like this, it was finally time for the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award Ceremony.

For such a serious occasion, Higashinoji certainly wouldn't begrudge money, so he simply bought a more decent dress with a bow tie on his chest. At first glance, he really looked like a dog.

On the day of the awarding ceremony of the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Higashino boarded a business car specially prepared by the awarding party and headed for the destination, the New National Theater in Japan.

I have to say that the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award is indeed much higher than the previous Tokyo Youth Painting Award that Higashino participated in.

The gate of the huge theater is pulled by the guardrail, and the red carpet is dragged to the car door. On both sides of the red carpet are reporters and media who are responsible for taking pictures. Afterwards, there are dense crowds, all of which are laid out in the past, making Dong Yesi inexplicably overwhelmed. a feeling of.

This is also the first time Higashino Division has seen such a spectacular gathering of people.

The vehicle stopped quickly, Dong Yesi got out of the car, and then heard deafening cheers——

"Teacher Dongye has come out!"

"Teacher Dongye! Look this way! Look this way!"

"I especially like your "Victor is Justice"!"

"East Field Group! East Field Group!"

Not only the decoration of Kumamon, but also the shiny signs such as "Victor is Justice" and the cute version of "Midnight Bell" Sadako are raised.

Glorious at the same time.

It also made Higashino Division understand his fan base for the first time

Indeed a lot!

And most of them are men?

You are not right.
