Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 388 Do You Need to Punish Your Heart (4000 words!)
Listening to Nakano Yusaki's explanation, Higashino also took a careful look at the other party.

It is said that people will create excellent works according to the situation
No wonder there were so many hints in Nakano Yusaki's "Cat and Chrysanthemum".

A short-haired girl in mourning dress holding a black umbrella on a rainy night, and a black cat with a white chrysanthemum in its mouth on the sidewalk.
These turned out to be all hints.

While Higashino Division was thinking, Nakano Tomoko on the other side finally spoke:

"To be honest, Higashino-sensei, I actually didn't allow Arisaki, a girl, to go to Tokyo alone in the first place."

Of course.

Although Nakano Yuko is a strong and independent woman, she is not as ignorant of common sense as the young girl Nakano Yusaki.

But when Arisaki Nakano put the gold reward from the pixiv website of Higashino Studio in front of her.
To be honest, Tomoko Nakano was a little dazed at the time. She really didn't believe that Arisaki Nakano could earn such a sum of money by painting paintings that she usually talked about.

She hesitated for a long time.

I also thought about it for a long time.

In the end she was still willing to make Nakano Yusaki's decision.

One reason is that Nakano Yusaki really showed her ability. She took out 400 million yen-although it is very vulgar to talk about money, but if you don’t talk about money, then you can’t talk about anything.

The second reason is that the conditions of the Nakano family are really difficult.

After the death of Nakano's parents, the small factory at home also ceased operation.

This was originally the source of the entire income of the Nakano family.

After the business ceased, all the income of the family was put in the small snack shop run by Tomoko Nakano—the kind of old wooden snack shop that can be seen in Japanese dramas and animations.

It mainly sells some cola candy, cola powder, chewing gum, crispy noodles and other retro snacks.

Of course the income is not high.

In addition, it is an impossible task for Nakano Yusaki and her younger brother to study.

Be aware that tuition fees in Japan are not cheap.

So Tomoko Nakano can only choose between Yusaki Nakano and her younger brother.

On the other hand, Nakano Yusaki insisted that he wanted to go to Tokyo, and if he couldn't find Higashino Studio to apply for a job, he would work part-time and temporarily give up his studies.

As for the follow-up of the matter, Dong Yesi and the others soon knew.

Using pixiv's 400 million yen bonus, the Nakano family managed the funeral.

Some of the remaining money was saved and left for Nakano Yusaki's younger brother to use for further education.

Junior high school, high school and even university. These all need a lot of money.

you could put it that way.

At the beginning, Higashino Studio simply wanted to make the pixiv website popular in Japan by means of the illustration competition, which indirectly saved the Nakano family.

It's no wonder that Arisaki Nakano knelt down and said to repay the favor as soon as they met.

Things finally became clear here.

When hearing this, Yano Ryuichi next to him also looked at Nakano Yusaki.

Just now he thought that the little girl Nakano Yusaki was just here to make trouble
It turned out that there was such an inside story unexpectedly.

This is really
And Yano Ryuichi has also heard that before Higashino became famous, he had almost the same experience as Nakano Yusaki.

The same is the death of parents, the same is that there is a sister in the family who needs help, and the same is going out to sell paintings.
Thinking about it this way, Higashino Tsukasa should have a resonance with Nakano Yusaki.

Thinking of this, Yano Ryuichi couldn't help rubbing his temples.

According to this development, maybe Nakano Yusaki will really stay in Higashino Studio.

And Yano Ryuichi also saw what Arisaki Nakano drew.

Really good.

Accepting her, Dongye Studio will definitely make a profit.

Even if you only use her as a background artist, it's fine.

Yano Ryuichi was already mentally prepared and was waiting for Higashino Division to agree.

Then--

"I'm still sorry, Miss Nakano."

Higashino's voice was very calm: "Although I know the inside story, I still won't change my mind. Your painting technique is far from mature. Higashino Studio doesn't need an original painter who can only draw side faces."

Yes.

No matter how you pave the way.

No matter how you feel.

The first thing Higashino has to consider is Higashino Studio.

It's impossible for him to 'Huh?It's really sympathetic', and then let her join Dongye Studio.

Yano Ryuichi on the other side was a little astonished when he heard this.

You know he had already planned to agree.

Unexpectedly, Dong Yesi, who seemed to him the easiest way to pass the level, would kill him and refuse to agree.

What about empathy?

What about the same experience?

Yano Ryu was stunned for a while.

But what he didn't expect was that after hearing these words, Nakano Yusaki acted more decisively.

She nodded and replied, "I understand, Teacher Dongye."

No hesitation could be seen on Nakano Yusaki's face, and she decisively agreed with Higashino Tsukasa's decision.

Yano Ryuichi was even more unacceptable.

Not
Why don't you two play your cards according to the routine?
Shouldn't it be Arisaki Nakano who is begging to join Higashino Studio at this time?

Why are you so determined to leave?
Didn't you promise to repay your favor?
Yano Ryuichi really didn't understand what was going on.

But fortunately, Higashino Division smiled again at this time and said: "However, our Higashino studio is about to set up a new online comic reading platform. Although it is only two-thirds of the establishment now, when it is officially opened, it will naturally be necessary. Comics author."

Yes.

This is what Higashinoji really thinks.

If it is true what Nakano Yusaki said, she has only studied for half a year. Then she can be said to be a truly talented player if she can achieve this basic skill.

Yes.

Very talented.

It’s just that it’s a waste of talent for her to be an original artist in Higashino Studio, so Higashino Division is more inclined to pull her into Higashino Studio’s new web comic reading platform.

Although Higashino Division and Fushima Publishing House have reached an agreement-as long as "Naoki Hansawa" can become a hit, the other party is willing to upload their publishing house's comics to the web comic reading platform of their Higashino Studio.

This can take advantage of the influence of those comics in Fushima Publishing House at once, and fill the works column of the online comic reading platform.

The influence of the three major clubs of Japanese comics is not something to talk about casually.

But—this is only the first step.

You know, web comics are a big cake.

That is to say, Fushima Publishing House has not discovered the buried gold of the Internet.

As long as Higashino Division operates the online reading platform.

Fushima Publishing House, which has found a profit, will inevitably enter the Internet. It is estimated that all the comics that can be read on the online reading platform of Dongye Studio will also be taken off the shelves.

This is like the sudden removal of many songs from Tianchao Netease Cloud Music due to copyright issues, which will definitely affect the user experience.

As for the agreement with Higashino Division?
In the face of interests, there is no agreement or non-agreement at all.

Not to mention that in a highly competitive environment like Tokyo, Japan, you will be beaten if you are not strong enough.

Even the web comic platform must eventually take the route of self-management, and it is impossible to rely on outsiders all the time.

As for Nakano Yusaki, this is considered as an insurance for Higashino Division to deal with in the future.

After all, Arisaki Nakano is young and talented.

and so--

"Miss Nakano, sit next to me and follow me to learn how to draw manga for now."

Toshino said with a smile.

Should this be said to be another village?

Nakano Yusaki, who had heard Higashino Tsukasa's refusal, was already planning to leave.

But at this time, after hearing what Dongye said, he immediately became energetic: "Can I really learn to draw from Teacher Dongye?"

"Yes." Higashino nodded, but quickly added in front of Nakano Yusaki: "However, Ms. Nakano, the specific situation of your family and the consent of the guardian, all of which need to be verified by our side Just do it."

Yes.

It is also impossible for Higashino to completely believe what Nakano Yusaki and Nakano Yuko on the other end of the phone said.

The specific situation needs to be verified by yourself.

only.
"Teacher Higashino said this in front of Ms. Nakano." Yano Ryuichi coughed dryly.

This kind of thing should have been sent by their side to quietly verify the situation.

This also includes the recruitment of Nakano Yusaki—this also requires the consent of the guardian.

After all, hiring is different from ordinary part-time jobs, and Nakano Yusaki is a minor, and there are still procedures to do.

but--

Just tell Nakano Yusaki directly. Doesn't this mean that you don't trust the other party?
What if people have opinions?

But Yano Ryuichi obviously thought too much.

After hearing this, Nakano Arisaki not only had no objection, but also laughed cheerfully: "I see, Mr. Higashino."

She didn't feel that Higashino Division was making things difficult for her.

On the contrary, she felt that Higashinoji said this in front of her face, which just expressed the fact that Higashinoji was upright——

Don't hide, just speak straight!Higashino-sensei is truly a man!
That's it for Nakano Yusaki.

Temporarily learn to draw manga with Higashino Division.

In fact, it was not Higashino who taught her personally, the main thing was to let her get in touch with some works, and then watch Higashino from time to time when he painted "Naoki Hansawa".

After she has learned the basic usage of manga tools, let her try to draw manga.

It is probably such a gradual process.

As for treatment
Her salary is the same as that of an ordinary apprentice.

The apprentice salary at Higashino Studio is actually not low, enough for her to eat and drink in Tokyo alone.

And the residence.
Yano Ryuichi also asked Nakano Yusaki about this later, but Nakano Yusaki's answer left him speechless for a long time——

"Where do you live? Ah. I usually live in the Meguro area. Isn't there a big, big bridge over there? I put up a tent under the bridge."

She made gestures and sighed, "Just go to the nearby old bathhouse to take a bath. It's very cheap, [-] yen once. Oh, I didn't expect that there are such old-style bathhouses in Tokyo."

Nakano Yusaki didn't bring much money with her when she came out, and she had to eat and drink, so it can be said that she was saving money along the way.

But
It was beyond Yano Ryuichi's expectation to live frugally to such an extent.

Yano Ryu told Higashino about this. This made Higashino speechless for a while, and then smiled and asked Nakano Yusaki to live in the small storage room of Higashino's studio.

The small storage room is generally not used, and Dongye Studio usually uses the nearby large storage room.

Therefore, the small storage room is also empty, about [-] to [-] square meters, with water and electricity, and the toilet in Dongye Studio can also be used.
Anyway, if it's empty, it's empty, it's better to let Nakano Yusaki live there.

Yano Ryuichi quickly told Nakano Yusaki about this.

This made Arisaki Nakano very happy.

Although it is possible to hide from the rain under the bridge, it is still very cold to live outside.

Especially in windy weather.

The tent's pegs weren't deep enough and the whole tent would have been swept away—her tent had been swept away many times.

If she hadn't been born in Hokkaido and had been somewhat resistant to the cold since she was a child, she would have been seriously ill and hospitalized long ago.

After dealing with Nakano Yusaki's residence, Yano Ryuichi also asked Nakano Yusaki another question out of curiosity.

"Nakano, we will be considered colleagues in the future, but there is one thing I don't understand."

"What's the matter? Supervisor Yano?"

Arisaki Nakano let out a breath after moving his luggage into the small storage room, and asked.

"When Teacher Dongye wanted to reject you before, why didn't you fight for it?"

This question has been bothering Yano Ryuichi since just now.

Higashino Division initially said that she would not be hired as the original artist of Higashino Studio.

At that time, Arisaki Nakano simply nodded in agreement.

There is absolutely no meaning to fight for.

This made Yano Ryuichi a little confused.

Don't you want to repay your favor?
Why did you give up so easily?

It seems to have seen through what Yano Ryuichi was thinking.

Nakano Yusaki gave the answer: "I came here to repay the favor. Supervisor Yano."

"The first point of repaying a favor is not to cause trouble to the benefactor. If Mr. Dongye really doesn't want to hire me, then I must respect his idea. I'm here to repay the favor, not to cause trouble."

As she spoke, she smiled honestly again: "Although I'm just a high school student, I may be a bit stupid. But I still understand the truth."

After Nakano Arisaki said these words, Yano Ryuichi was also silent for a long time.

On the other side, Higashino Division simply asked people to verify Nakano Yusaki's family situation and the follow-up situation.

And Nakano Yusaki naturally took the seat next to Higashino Tsukasa
This naturally made Higashinoji's former apprentice Shan Shang Qianxia suffer.

to be honest.

When she heard that Arisaki Nakano was going to take her place, and she was going to move to another location, she was completely stunned——

No?

what happened?

Am I doing something wrong?
Why did the master treat me like this?

Haven't I been working hard these days?

She was shocked and had mixed feelings.

He could only watch with a complicated expression as Nakano Yusaki, who was active and jumping, sat on his seat.

And I have to evacuate my own small world.

In particular, Higashino Division asked Yamagami Qianxia to take care of the newcomer Nakano Yusaki.
When hearing this, Shan Shang Qianxia almost vomited blood in depression.

Master, you still let me take care of her?

She drove me away, I just wish I didn't settle accounts with her.

You still let me take care of her?
Do you still want to be punished after killing someone?Master Dongye?

　Thank you Fate Qiansheng for your reward!Thank you so much!
