Tokyo life starting with painting

In the next five days, Higashinoji focused again on the painting "Tokyo Sunset·Impression" in the studio.

After about two scrapings of paint and two more repaints, Higashino finally finalized the impression painting in front of him.

The quality of the finished product "Tokyo Sunset·Impression" is unquestionable.

The sun hangs in the sky like a hot orange luminous object, its sparkling light wraps everything, and the scenery and light are organically wrapped together.

The light illuminates the city of Tokyo, with a mix of cold and warm. It's hard to see the real thing at a glance, but only gives people the impression of a beautiful sunset.

After the oil painting was completed, Higashinoji handed it over to Okano Ryoko in time.

Ryoko Okano would come over every day to urge the submission of manuscripts, and every time he looked at his revised oil paintings, he would sigh, as if "this quality is obviously enough, but why do you continue to revise?"

Regarding Gango Ryoko's attitude, Tonoji would just laugh and say haha ​​a few times and then pass.

After all, from Higashinoji's point of view, Ryoko Okano's attitude of being content and happy is actually not feasible in the art industry.

Because since you have chosen the field of art, you must strive for excellence and study hard for each work. Each painting must be painted with the aura of "This is the last painting I will paint before my death." Try to do your best.

Because there is never a shortage of talent in the art industry.

Do you think you are an excellent painter? But others can draw better than you! Did you give 150% of your effort? But talented people use 200% of their efforts.

To reverse this situation, each painting must be polished to its most exquisite state.

Higashinoji didn't show mercy and fool around just because "Tokyo Sunset·Impression" was used to participate in the student competition. On the contrary, he used all his skills.

This "Tokyo Sunset·Impression" may not be his best painting, but it is definitely a work that satisfies him.

This is not a matter of student group or not, but a matter of attitude towards this industry.

As for Konoe Ryoka, she is still painting gouache.

However, it seems that under the influence of Higashinoji, she gradually became more relaxed when writing, and her movements were not as stiff as before.

Higashikata saw all this, and he felt quite relieved, feeling like an old father seeing his cub finally grow up.

Everything seemed to be going well.

But this is not the case.

"There's no suitable material left."

Looking at the empty canvas in front of him, Tonoji murmured to himself.

As mentioned before, Higashinoji plans to participate in both the adult and student competitions.

But now there is a lack of suitable painting materials.

Although it is possible to find a corner of Tokyo and paint it like the first "Tokyo Sunset·Impression", but if that's the case

"It's too simple."

Tonoji held his chin.

Yes. If both the student group and the adult group submitted two scenes of Tokyo, it would be too monotonous and repetitive for Higashinoji.

But it would be a little too late to start looking for good scenery or scenery from now on.

Because on Saturday next week, the submission deadline for the Tokyo Youth Art Awards will be closed.

Staring at the blank canvas, Tonoji shook his head and put down the brush.

He wasn't going to put pen to paper.

After all, he had enough time now, so he still planned to go out and see if there was anything he could be satisfied with.

But before that

Higashinoji picked up the shoulder bag next to him and glanced at the manuscript of the second episode of "The Ring" inside.

Originally, he had contacted Hosokawa Koharu in advance and asked her to come directly to his home to pick up the manuscript.

However, the other party changed the request midway and hoped that Higashinoji himself would send the manuscript there in person, and that there were other things that needed him to deal with.

Is there anything he needs to deal with personally? Higashinoji didn't know what it was that he was asked to deal with, but since Hosokawa Koharu had requested it, he would naturally make a trip.

Picking up his shoulder bag and saying hello to Konoe Ryoka, Tonoji quickly left the studio.

In response to Higashinoji's behavior of leaving within half an hour of sitting down, the female students next to him just raised their heads, and then all lowered their heads, as if they were used to it.

They were not used to it at first, and a few of them protested to Ryoko Okano that Higashino violated studio discipline - why did he just come and leave at the drop of a hat? You can’t give preferential treatment just because you’re handsome!

But after seeing Higashinoji's "Tokyo Sunset·Impression" later, the girls stopped talking.

Later, they even took the initiative to ask Higashinoji for painting skills and tasted the real fragrance.

Konoe Ryoka saw the change in the attitude of the senior students towards Higashinoji and was filled with envy.

But she couldn't be like Higashinoji, who could talk and laugh freely in front of so many girls of the same age, making a few jokes from time to time to gain their favor.

So she could only stare at Higashinoji with envy.

"Hello, Miss Uzaki." Higashinoji greeted the receptionist of Urashima Publishing House with familiarity.

"Ah, it's little brother Higashino. Are you here for work again this time?" Miss Uzaki asked while handing the visit pass to Higashino Tsukasa.

Higashinoji was also familiar with her, and Hosokawa Koharu had greeted her in advance, so he was not even asked to register.

"Yes, I am mainly here to visit Miss Uzaki this time, and to solve the matters assigned to me by Editor Hosokawa."

Higashinoji smiled and joked to Miss Uzaki, and took the visitor's pass into his hand.

"Brother Higashino, you are so serious." Miss Uzaki waved to him cheerfully.

Tonoji nodded in return and then walked towards the elevator.

Going upstairs, what caught Higashinoji's eyes was still the neatly divided editing work area and the author-editor discussion area.

Before he could ask, an editor stood up with a phone under his arm and called out to Koharu Hosokawa: "Editor Hosokawa! Your teacher Higashino is here!"

"Not my Higashino-sensei! Oshima-senpai, you are very rude to Higashino-sensei like this!"

Hosokawa Koharu stood up angrily, her face turning red.

She almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood in frustration.

I don’t know who spread the rumor in the editorial office. As it spread, it turned out that she liked Higashinoji, but he was dumped by Higashinoji.

There is no such thing!

That day, she was just shocked that Higashino finished the second chapter of "Midnight Ring" ahead of schedule, so she was just lost.

Why did they say they liked Higashino and was dumped?

Hosokawa Koharu was a little helpless, but this was not the time to argue with them. She just retorted a few words. When she found that there was no result, she took Tonoji to the work area where the editor and the author talked.

After all, she still had to have a good conversation with Higashino about the manuscript of "The Ring" and the handling of another matter.
