Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 232 Something Happened! (8000 words!)

Konoe Suzuka, Takahashi Yumi, and Fujiwara Aoi looked at each other, looking at the A4 paper on the table that said 'I've thought about it too', all of them were quiet, as if facing an enemy.

Even Takahashi Yumi, who has always been out of her mind, has a serious face.

Looking at this piece of paper, Aoi Fujiwara next to her thought for a long time before she said, "Yumi, you are not joking with us, are you?"

"Where do I have it?!" Takahashi Yumi exclaimed, her voice full of grievance; "I wanted to go to Mr. Higashino's room to see if there was the original manuscript of the next chapter of "Unnatural Death", and then I saw it on the desktop at a glance. Am I the kind of person to make fun of this piece of paper? Are you right? Lianghua?"

How could she be such a person?

Fujiwara Aoi didn't speak, and Konoe Suzuka next to her didn't express her opinion either.

But sometimes not expressing your opinion is more hurtful than expressing your opinion.

Takahashi Yumi was a little bit humiliated: "I really didn't—"

"This is indeed written by Asi." Konoe Lianghua looked at it for a long time, and finally spoke hesitantly.

She had seen Higashinoji write before, and it was indeed such a beautiful printed character. It was well written and looked very comfortable.

As soon as these words came out, Konoe Lianghua and Takahashi Yumi fell silent again.

After a while of silence, Fujiwara Aoi asked hesitantly, "That Lianghua, you have been with Higashino for a long time recently. When did Mr. Higashino have this idea?"

Konoe Lianghua showed a very ashamed expression: "I don't know."

This is another girlfriend's dereliction of duty!

Higashino Division actually had the idea of ​​'one and one hundred', but he didn't know

well!It's true that I am my girlfriend!

Seeing Konoe Lianghua's frowning face, Takahashi Yumi didn't 'knead it' as usual, but began to analyze seriously: "I think it probably started from writing the song "Lemon". You guys Look, it is said that art comes from life, if there is no such idea, Mr. Higashino would not commit suicide.”

"Student Higashino isn't dead yet." Aoi Fujiwara next to her couldn't help interjecting.

"Let's make an analogy!" Takahashi Yumi patted the table confidently: "And from my point of view, Mr. Higashino is probably the author of that kind of 'thousand-layer cake'. He likes to hide a lot of things in his heart without saying it. For example If you look at him smiling now, he may be crying in his heart, and if you see him crying, maybe he is indeed crying."

"Absolute mille-feuille!" Takahashi Yumi opened her hand and held it empty, as if she had calculated Higashinoji to death.

Fujiwara Aoi was speechless for a while, thinking that this guy must have thought too much.

But there are some doubts that Yumi Takahashi is right.

Higashino might laugh and laugh with them in the morning, and cry with their pillows in the evening—doesn't it mean that many talented art creators have these messy mental illnesses?

A few of the little girls began to discuss it, and it became more and more possible.

On the other side, Higashino Chihaya didn't understand what they were talking about, but just glanced here twice.

After a while, Meisa Kuromiya and Chimi Nagawa came to visit.

"Teacher Dongye wants to commit suicide?"

Kuromiya Meisa, who has always been quiet, didn't say anything after hearing the news, but just glanced at the line written by Higashinoji.

It is indeed Higashinoji's word.

Could it be that he really had this idea?

But it doesn't feel like it. Didn't Higashino mention in the NHK interview the day before yesterday that he would not think about committing suicide?

Next to her, Nagawa Chimi is indeed a bad idea master with the same reputation as Takahashi Yumi, and she said, "Why don't we call the police? Maybe Higashino-sensei is standing next to a reservoir right now, ready to jump down."

As soon as these words were said, everyone agreed, and even rationalists like Kuromiya Meisa and Fujiwara Aoi were bluffed by the two of them, and they were really ready to call the police.

But fortunately, Dong Yesi didn't go out too far to buy things, he picked some ingredients that they all liked to eat and came back.

"Miss Hasegawa is still here."

Higashino Division said hello and walked in with a carrying bag.

But on the way, I found that the atmosphere in the room seemed to be a bit wrong.

Everyone raised their heads and stared at themselves.

There must be a reason for this vibe.

But before Higashino found out the reason, Nagawa Qianmei patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Higashino, you are fine. We thought you were going to commit suicide, so we almost called the police."

Why is it the stalk of committing suicide again?

Dong Yesi was really dumbfounded.

Why do I seem to be unable to get around this 'suicide' stalk?

He was caught off guard by the words, but soon figured out why.

Isn't that piece of paper on the table something I wrote?

It is estimated that they saw that piece of paper, so they came up with such a mess of thoughts.

Higashino was a little speechless, but still told them about the new song.

"New song? But the name is too unlucky, isn't it? Mr. Higashino, are you bluffing us? In fact, it hurts to want to commit suicide!"

Takahashi Yumi was hit on the head by Higashino Division who rolled up the book next to her.

There is indeed a problem with this thinking.

It seems that he wished he would 'suicide'.

By the way, Higashinoji also visited Chimi Nagawa, who was happily watching the play next to her.

Chimi Nagawa, like Yumi Takahashi, is suspected of causing panic, and of course Higashinoji will not let her go.

"It's just an ordinary song." Dong Yesi replied casually: "Don't think too much, I'm cooking now and I'm going to eat."

"Is it a common song?"

Although it was unacceptable for Higashino Tsukasa's words, these girls from the apprentice generation, the girlfriend generation, and the girlfriend's best friend generation still kept their mouths shut.

No way, Higashino Division's prestige is so high among them.

Higashino Division quickly prepared the dishes for the celebration party, during which time Hasegawa Riko also rushed from the outside - it seemed that she was temporarily dragged by Mizuguchi Koko to drink a lot of beer.

But after all, she runs a restaurant at home, and she didn't get drunk after drinking a lot of beer. Instead, Shuikou Xiangzi poured herself down and lay on the bed.

Riko Hasegawa helped Higashino Division, and then found a place to sit down, chatting with Fujiwara Aoi and Kuromiya Meisa beside them without saying a word.

The content of the discussion is mostly simple, basically talking about the recent fires of "Lemon" and "Unnatural Death".

"Isn't the rumor on the Internet very exaggerated? It is said that "Unnatural Death" is a comic with its own sound."

Riko Hasegawa said.

"Ah, that's true. Every time I flip to the back, the music of "Lemon" always plays, which is amazing."

Takahashi Yumi couldn't help raising her hand: "Before, Higashino-sensei's comics just made me have a special sense of substitution, but now I can actually hear the sound of the theme song."

Fujiwara Aoi expressed a rational view on this. She waved her hand and analyzed seriously: "How can it be so mysterious? This is actually similar to watching some classic TV dramas. When you see some classic scenes, you will naturally recall the memories of the time. Background music."

They chattered over there.

Higashinoji listened and took notes at the same time.

It seems that the painting skills given by the system are indeed working. Many people can hear "Lemon" as the theme song directly through "Unnatural Death", and rumors have even formed on the Internet.

Higashino estimated that in a year or two, when "urban legends" circulated around Japanese young people again, some people would dig out the strangeness of "Unnatural Death" and "Midnight Ring" as new novels. urban ghost story material.

As for now?

Readers can enjoy it.

They won't really study and investigate whether Higashino can really draw comics with BGM.

On the other hand, Nagawa Qianmei is not interested in these things, she just thinks that Higashinoji is really powerful, a genius even stronger than Kuromiya Meisa, as can be seen from the fact that she also successfully won the gold award in the art creation award before. .

Takahashi Yumi and the others came to ask Higashinoji after the discussion, and Higashinoji happily served all the dishes, then smiled and said: "I have super powers, and the things I draw can not only let you hear the music , but also allows you to taste the taste and feel."

When he said this, Fujiwara Aoi and other rational minds would not believe it, so he took it as a joke.

The only ones who really believed in Higashinoji were brainless fans like Takahashi Yumi and Konoe Suzuka.

The celebration party was actually nothing. After everyone raised their glasses to congratulate Higashino Division's "Unnatural Death" on 200 million volumes, they began to taste the dishes.

There is no "drinking table culture" like the adults in the society. These little girls gathered together to celebrate Higashinoji's official entry into the ranks of Japanese manga sales ceiling, and to be happy for him.

This made Dong Yesi very relaxed, and it was really a sneak in.

During this period of time, I was busy working on "Unnatural Death", and I couldn't relax after finally rushing to the ceiling.

It would be nice to hold this kind of party when Higashino Chihaya also recovers.

After they cleaned up the trash and said goodbye one by one, Dong Yesi returned to the room and looked at the "I once thought about it once" on the table.

"It's better to prepare this song before taking it out." Dong Yesi didn't rush to shoot "I've thought about it once" for everyone to listen to. After hesitating for a while, he put it into his small cabinet , like "Hansawa Naoki", is kept as the top secret.

After finishing this matter, Higashino opened his notebook and began to scan the ranking changes of "Lemon".

"Lemon" is still the best in the distribution list, leaving the second place so far that it can't even see its shadow. The daily distribution volume is more than 6000, and there is no sign of reducing it at all, maintaining a high level of growth rate. The straight line that goes up smoothly is really 'shocking'.

On Oricon's digital distribution rankings, "Lemon" has silently reached No.15, killing more than a dozen opponents in front of it, making the first few songs feel "cool", and has been poked down feeling.

It's on fire, it's really on fire. The momentum of "Lemon" cannot be stopped at all.

What made Higashino Division even more delighted was that many people in the music comment section expressed their interest in reading the comic "Unnatural Death".

This may be the complementary effect of the theme song and the original work.

Higashino clearly remembered that the hottest days of "Lemon" were the days when "Unnatural Death" was broadcast. It is absolutely no problem to say that it complements each other.

Of course, there are still some people who directly persuaded Higashino to stop drawing comics in the comment section, and make his debut with "Lemon" with peace of mind. Isn't it good to enter the Japanese entertainment circle?

There are singing and dancing in the comment section of "Lemon".On the other side, fans of Oura Xingjiang saw that "Lemon" did not have the momentum to fall off the list at all, and one or two were all sluggish.

There are also some Internet trolls who think that Yukio Oura has caused them to lose face, and in turn scold Yukio Oura for being blind-how could such a good song be dropped in a week?

The reason why Oura Xinge put "Lemon" aside earlier is now known by Higashino through the investigation by Hosokawa Koharu.

It turned out that she had agreed to a TV station before, and wrote a theme song for their summer love TV series, which is now "Bye Bye Bye". "He took it directly.

I have to say that Oura Xingjiang has had a hard time recently. The song that was originally locked at the top of the distribution list was directly kicked to No.5. Later, because of conflicts with her fans because of "Lemon", this song fell again. When it comes to No.7, there is really a feeling of 'keeping the eight against the seven'.

Dong Yesi just waited to see her like this, and when she fell down a few more, Dong Yesi could just kick her into the ditch, and paste a layer of cement on the outside to ensure that she was buried tightly of.

After watching the situation for a while, Higashino turned off the computer, ready to go out to wash and rest.

But before he got up, he heard the phone next to him rang.

He will call himself at this time, most likely it will be Hosokawa Koharu.

Dongyesi didn't hesitate too long, picked up the phone directly, and asked, "Hello? Editor Hosokawa?"

"Have you interrupted your rest, right? Mr. Higashino?" Hosokawa Koharu asked over there, his voice seemed a little urgent.

"What happened to nothing?" Higashino asked.

"It's not that I have any problem." Koharu Hosokawa paused, as if organizing her words. After a while, she panted and said helplessly, "There is something wrong with the animation of "The Winner Is Justice". question."

Hosokawa Koharu panted, and smiled wryly: "Although you may see the news tomorrow, let me tell you now."

"The animation production company in charge of "Victor is Justice" was maliciously set on fire. All the animation manuscripts and scripts prepared before were burned."

"Huh?"

Higashinoji was taken aback when he heard this, and then opened his mouth in surprise.

burnt?

Ok? ? ?
