Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 331 Will it be far? (8000 words)
"Watching the red and white song and battle performance live?"

Konoe Lianghua and her two Ji friends were relaxed at first when they heard the news from Higashino, and then they were a little surprised.

Among them, Takahashi Yumi, who is the favorite to play, jumped up and held Higashino's hand: "Really? Teacher Higashino? Can you really go to the scene to watch the battle of the red and white songs?"

She was full of excitement, as if she had already thought of the scene at the Red and White Song Concert that night.

As I said before, the Kohaku Uta War is equivalent to the Japanese Spring Festival Gala. It is natural for a little girl like Takahashi Yumi to yearn for the stars above, and feel excited.

"Well, I talked to NHK people today. They are willing to prepare a few tickets for me. If you have time, Yumi and Aoi, you can all invite your parents to come with you."

Anyway, it's just a few tickets, Xiaoyu Yanren, as a member of the program team, definitely has no shortage of tickets.

So Higashino Division simply sold a small favor to Takahashi Yumi and Fujiwara Aoi's parents.

"How is it? Are you going?" At this point, Higashinoji asked Yumi Takahashi.

"I'm going! I'm definitely going! Aoi must be going too, right?"

Yumi Takahashi nodded excitedly, then turned to look at Aoi Fujiwara beside her.

"Don't just make a decision for me." Fujiwara Aoi stiffened her mouth once, but quickly bowed to Higashino: "Thank you, Higashino. I should be able to go. I still need to ask my parents."

"I understand." Dong Yesi nodded.

Both Takahashi Yumi and Fujiwara Aoi said that they can spare time for the Kohaku Uta battle at night, so they will watch Konoe Suzuka next.

Higashino turned his head and looked at Konoe Lianghua on the other side - why are you still hesitating when you both agreed?

Konoe Lianghua was still thinking about it, but when Higashinoji saw it like this, his originally calm mood was messed up.

She was indeed hesitating, because during the New Year's Eve, her father would always call her back to Aomori County in advance, where there was a small family reunion - after all, the Konoe family had a long tradition and had all kinds of messy relatives.

So Konoe Lianghua will probably have to go back by then.

Compared to dealing with that group of relatives.
In fact, Konoe Suzuka would rather stay in Tokyo and spend the New Year with Higashinoji, Takahashi Yumi, Fujiwara Aoi and the others.
But this is at most Konoe Lianghua thinking about it, what else can she do in the end?It’s not just about returning to Aomori Prefecture.

It's just that Konoe Lianghua here hasn't spoken yet.

Takahashi Yumi over there looked over curiously: "By the way, Lianghua, what are you going to do?"

Uh.
"I want to go back" Konoe Suzuka just wanted to answer Takahashi Yumi.

But before she could say anything, Higashinoji, who had been observing this side, had already smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Yumi, of course Lianghua is going to the scene of the Red and White Uta battle with us."

Afterwards, Higashino patted Takahashi Yumi cheerfully: "What are you talking about, Yumi. Of course Lianghua will stay. We both confirmed the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, so naturally we will celebrate the New Year together."

"I see." Takahashi Yumi nodded, showing a sudden realization expression.

On her side, she had an expression of "I understand", while Konoe Lianghua on the other side was in a panic: "No, that, I might have to go back."

"Don't worry, Lianghua."

Higashinoji stretched out his hand, cheerfully interrupting Konoe Lianghua's words:
"I understand what you mean. You are a little worried that you won't adapt to the atmosphere of the red and white song battle scene, right?"

"No. I'm not like that"

"Then you are probably worried that your going to the scene will affect my performance? Don't worry, I won't be nervous and stage fright because of such a trivial matter."

".No..." Konoe Lianghua was a little speechless when he was intercepted by Higashinoji halfway.

She was about to gather her thoughts before saying something, when Fujiwara Aoi next to her couldn't help but said, "Higashi-san, do you mean that you will appear in the red and white song battle?"

"Yes." Higashinoji nodded: "If it wasn't like this, I wouldn't be able to get the tickets for the Red and White Song Battle."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Konoe Lianghua and sighed a little: "Hey, it's a good thing Lianghua will come to watch me sing on stage, otherwise I will be alone for a whole year, think about it They're all a little lonely."

That is to say, Higashino Chihaya seems to be away for something, and she is not with Higashino Si now.

Otherwise, she would definitely go mad when she heard this sentence - what's going on?Forget about my sister when I have a girlfriend?Is my sister not human?Will my sister let you celebrate the New Year alone?
However, regardless of Chihaya Higashino's thoughts, the words of Higashino Tsukasa were very lethal to Konoe Lianghua next to him.

She looked at Dong Yesi carefully, and thought that Dong Yesi would be "lonely" during the Chinese New Year without her by her side, and she felt a little distressed at the moment.

She originally planned to return to Aomori County, but now it seems that she may not be able to return.
"Let's talk to father about it." Konoe Lianghua made up her mind a little.

It's just that what she didn't know was that Dong Yesi directly saw her serious expression and determined appearance.

It's rare for my girlfriend to have an opinion. This is really rare.

Since Konoe Lianghua made a choice based on his own thoughts, he, as a boyfriend, has to help no matter what.

He planned to call Konoe Tsushima privately after Konoe Lianghua returned and tell him that Konoe Lianghua would not go back this year.

Higashinoji estimated that Konoe Tsushima would jump up emotionally at that time.

After all, the other party has always cared about Konoe Lianghua, and now that his little padded jacket is about to be worn away by others, Konoe Tsushima will definitely be very anxious.

but
Higashino Division is still sure to persuade the other party.

Even if he can't be persuaded in the end, there is nothing he can do.

If you can't be persuaded, you can't be persuaded. At worst, you can just keep Konoe Lianghua. My girlfriend is so soft-tempered, can she still resist herself?
As for Konoe, Ma Yuan is in Aomori County, and he can say that far water cannot save near fire, and he still has company and other affairs to deal with, so it is impossible to come to Tokyo no matter what.

So Higashino is not in a panic.

In the worst case, we'll just chat on the phone, wait until we meet in reality, and then flatter my father-in-law. Middle-aged men, that's what they do.

After figuring out this crucial point, Higashinoji called Xiao Yuhiko without haste.

He also had to inform the other party about participating in the Red and White Song Battle.

As for persuading Chihaya Higashino?

Does my sister need to be persuaded?
As long as Higashino Division uses some means in a small way, Higashino Chihaya will definitely agree directly.

After all, Higashino Division knows Higashino Chihaya too well.

The next thing was much simpler, Takahashi Yumi and Fujiwara Aoi went home separately.

Only when Konoe Lianghua was planning to go back to the next door, Higashino called her specifically, saying that her father would find a way to solve it by herself, and she didn't have to worry at all, and she didn't need to contact Konoe Tsushima.

This made Konoe Lianghua a little relieved, but at the same time she was a little embarrassed.

Originally, I planned to persuade my father by myself, but in the end I had to help Dong Yeji and
"Ace looked as if he was sure of convincing my father."

Konoe Lianghua took a serious look at Higashino Division before leaving, and said softly.

"Of course." Higashino replied with righteous words, and directly sent Konoe Lianghua out of the door, and at the same time did not forget to tell:
"Don't worry, after I convince your father, remember not to contact your father, and don't answer the phone call from your father. At most, he just said something like asking you to pay attention to safety. I will take the initiative to call for these things Discussed with him in the past."

"I understand. Asi." Konoe Lianghua nodded obediently and obediently.

Even though there seemed to be some problems with what Higashino said, she, who believed in Higashino too much, subconsciously ignored it.

This may be in response to the saying 'people in love will decline in IQ'.

It's just that what Konoe Lianghua didn't know was that Higashinoji completely "persuaded" Konoe Tsushima with the mentality of "If you can't be persuaded, you will tear up the ticket".

If words can't convince, then persuade from the 'physical distance'.

After sending Konoe Lianghua away as well, Higashino Division waited until Higashino Chihaya who had just returned home.

Just as Higashinoji thought, when he heard that he might participate in the Kohaku Uta Battle, Higashino Chihaya directly raised his hands in favor, and decided to go to the Red and Haku Uta Battle site to see the situation.

——She used to be in the classical music department, and there might be some music authors she likes on the scene, so of course she didn't plan to miss it.

Seeing how his sister jumped into the pit without even needing to be fooled by him, Dongyesi was very happy for the other party's trust in him, but he was also a little worried.

Does he think Higashino Chihaya is a little too dependent on him?
Some things are said to be agreed, and as long as it is proposed by him, he doesn't even think about it.

"It must be an illusion, right?"

Seeing Higashino Chihaya busily busy at the stove, Higashino Si muttered to himself.

Most of the things on his side have been resolved, while Hosokawa Koharu on the other side has been working until the last second, and only took a short break just now.

To be more precise, the editors in the manga department of Fushima Publishing House barely got a break just now.

Their statistics have been counted until now.

As we all know, the sales department of Japanese publishing houses has liaison and cooperation with many bookstores.

The publishing house discloses some industry information to the bookstore, and the bookstore will have special inventory staff to count the number of books in the library after the end of the day's sales.

In this process, the clerk of the bookstore will make a form and send it to the sales department of the publishing house, and then the statistics form will be compiled by the sales department. This is the origin of the book sales data.

Originally, even if all the sales data were saved for the final statistics, there would be no problem, and the workload would not be so heavy.

But
""Naoki Hansawa" broke many records"

Looking at the data sheet in front of him, as a member of the former Urashima Publishing House, Editor Oshima couldn't help looking at Koharu Hosokawa beside him.

He was a little dumbfounded.
Although I have always been frightened by Higashinoji's performance, the performance of "Naoki Hansawa" this time is too good.

Moreover, the sales of "Hansawa Naoki" have been going smoothly, unlike when the first volume of "Unnatural Death" was sold, it was suppressed by the sales of Yanjiao Publishing House.

This time, the sales of "Hansawa Naoki" didn't have any problems at all, and the word "Invincible" was written on the face, and it was crushed all the way, killing many small shrimps along the way Xiaoyu sold [-] volumes in the first hour.

This is equivalent to predicting that the performance of this comic must be 250 million copies or more.

It's perfectly fine to say 'monster level'.

As for the editors of the old Fuji Publishing House next to them, they were completely stunned when they saw this result.

After all, they had never seen this kind of sales when they worked at Fuji Press. Even if they had seen it, it would have been five or six years ago when the print media was still a big hit.

They were a little dazed.

On the other hand, Shinji Furuta, who was the former editor-in-chief of Fuji Publishing House, also clicked his tongue when he saw this result.

He finally knew how he lost to Urashima Press before.

When he regarded Higashino Division as an opponent, he still felt that he might defeat Higashino Division.

But now after becoming a teammate, he realizes that his thoughts are really naive.

How could this be an unbeatable result?Just lie down and wait for death?
He sat on the desk and sighed, and the editor-in-chief Urashima next to him patted him on the shoulder, with a slightly smug expression on his face: "How is it? Editor Gutian, you have to buy me a drink this time, right? "

Editor-in-chief Urashima made a bet with Shinji Furuta on whether Higashinoji's "Naoki Hansawa" can reach an average of 250 million volumes
Originally, Shinji Furuta thought that the wine would have to wait one or two volumes before the results would come out.

But no one thought that the first volume of "Hansawa Naoki" was published, and he had already lost the bet.

"Okay, okay, I'm willing to bet and admit defeat, you can choose a place."

Furuta Shinji replied with a complicated mood.

The editor-in-chief Urashima was of course also very happy to see the nemesis of the old Fuji Publishing House being overwhelmed by the manga writers of his own old Urashima Publishing House.

But now they are also colleagues.

The editor-in-chief Urashima didn't want to really kill people directly, so he thought of it and said: "Let's go to Ginza, I know there is a good store. The proprietress is very nice."

"What kind of lady boss looks good? Editor-in-Chief Urashima, let me remind you first, I have a wife."

"Then you mean not to go?"

"Go! Of course! I'll call my wife."

"."

The two editor-in-chiefs were playing tricks on the other side, and they seemed to be in a good mood.

And Hosokawa Koharu, who is the editor of Higashino Division, is naturally similar.

She thought of what Higashinoji said before the serialization of "Hansawa Naoki".

Let "Hansawa Naoki" become the real number one manga in Japan.

250 million sales.
This is undoubtedly a good start!
Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help but imagine that after Higashino became the number one in Japan, as an editor, he might be called a "famous editor".

Will that day be far away?
