Full-time cartoonist

"Now that I think about it," Nishimura was talking to Kitamoto on the phone, "it's really strange why Higashino, who was painting "Soul of the Chess", suddenly created "The Garden of Words" with a completely different style."

"Ha..." Beimoto was silent.

He previously thought that "The Garden of Words" was used by Hibiki Higashi to help him confess.

Now it seems that he is too sentimental.

It turns out that this guy Dong Ye is the same as me, no wonder we can become friends.

I am not alone in my ways. Kitamoto sighed.

Nishimura said excitedly: "This thing is so romantic! This guy Higashino usually looks so serious, but he is also emotional at heart!"

Kitamoto glanced at his thirty-two-year-old girlfriend next to him and asked, "If it's true, don't you think there's a problem with the thirteen-year gap?"

"How could it be?" Nishimura blurted out, "If you truly love each other, age is nothing. If you are too attached to this, you will regret it in the future."

"Yes." Kitamoto nodded and hung up the phone.

He then knelt down alone, took out the diamond ring from his pocket, and stretched it out: "Miss Matsuzaki, please marry me."

…

Higashikata sat in the classroom with a Sima face.

He really didn't expect that he, like Mr. Inoue, would be spread by countless people.

Just because of the assistant's little easter egg, readers have made up countless love stories.

If you have this ability, why not draw comics and write novels yourself?

Higashino Hibiki himself was actually the last one to know that he was in a relationship with Naoko Takeuchi.

On his way to school this morning, he was pointed at by many people, and he was vaguely heard.

"it's him."

"It's so romantic."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, my Naoko-hime."

This made Higashino feel confused and uncomfortable.

He looked at himself from top to bottom and found that there was no problem, it was still the same as before.

Just when he was confused, a cute girl ran up to Higashino Hibiki and handed him a paper crane.

"Come on, I will support you!"

"Huh? You also like "Slam Dunk"?"

"What's "Slam Dunk"...I mean the love story between You and Teacher Naoko Takeuchi." She blinked her eyes, glowing, "Don't be knocked down by public opinion. I haven't heard such a touching story in a long time. In love!"

Thinking of this, Higashino Hibiki shook his head violently in distress. Really, anyone who hasn't watched "Slam Dunk" knows this.

It is conceivable how many people know this and choose to believe this rumor.

In Japan in 1996, rumors spread so fast!

He didn't have the courage to face the rumors bravely.

"Oda!" Hibiki gritted his teeth, "What a bastard!"

After thinking about it in his assistant, Hibiki Higashino caught the suspect within a second.

Only Oda had a reason to do this.

Higashino Hibiki is worried, what is Oda doing with his cleverness!

At this time, his cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.

When Hibiki saw the call, his heart stopped. It was actually Ichiro Higashino calling.

Sure enough, as a taxi driver, he soon learned about "the love story between him and Naoko Takeuchi."

Lifting his eyes, Higashikata looked at his classmates who were eager to learn but pretended not to care and walked out of the classroom.

The eyes full of regret shot at Hibiki Higashikata's back.

"Is this Naoko-hime's phone number?"

"Yeah, it's possible, after all, the matter is so big!"

“I just don’t know when it will be officially announced!”

Amidst the whispers of his classmates, Higashikata Higashi walked out of the classroom, passed through the crowd of spectators, all the way to the rooftop, and closed the door to the rooftop.

Then he answered the phone.

"Why so late?" Higashino Ichiro asked with a frown.

"Class is about to start," Hibiki Higashino replied, "I'm worried about affecting others."

"Well," Higashino Ichiro pondered for a moment.

"You... that... um..." There was embarrassment in his tone, "I really don't want to discuss this with you, ugh."

Hibiki Higashikata felt the same way.

"Let me tell you the truth," Higashino Ichiro stamped his foot, "I firmly disagree with the matter between you and Miss Takeuchi!"

"I do not……"

Higashikata wants to deny it and explain clearly.

"Don't make excuses. Everyone says this is the case. It's definitely not false."

Youdao is like three people becoming a tiger, and Dongye Xiang is dirtier than coming out of the Ganges River.

"You have to believe me." Higashikata insisted.

"I don't mind finding an older girlfriend," Ichiro Higashino didn't respond, and continued on his own: "For a creator like you, a great writer, I think it would be better for you to find a sensible and caring girlfriend who can take good care of you. very good."

Dongye Xiang was stunned, and there was an unexpected gain.

He was about to graduate, and he wanted to marry Akimiya Akemi, but he was worried that his family would not agree, so he let it slip.

"But the thirteen-year age gap is too big. You should think about it carefully."

After saying this, Higashino Ichiro breathed a sigh of relief.

I finally spoke out, fulfilled my father's responsibility, and could end this embarrassing conversation.

"Then what age difference do you think is appropriate?" Higashikata turned his head quickly and asked, "Ten years?"

"no."

"Nine years old?"

"……no……"

"Eight years old?"

Higashino Ichiro was silent, feeling that the other party was testing his bottom line.

What he thought was impossible before was now actually ready to accept.

Mr. Lu Xun, the great Chinese writer, was indeed right. People always like to compromise. After hearing about his thirteen-year-old daughter-in-law, he felt that the seven- or eight-year-old gap was full of comfort.

"You handle your own affairs."

Higashino Ichiro hung up the phone.

Higashi Hibiki looked at his phone and smiled, bad things turned into good things.

At this moment, the door to the rooftop was opened.

Akimiya Akemi walked out: "It's time for class...wait...is this your expression? Is it true?"

She was confident at first, but now she is hesitant.

Hibiki Higashino's smiling expression is really so happy, as if he is in sweet love.

"Others think wildly? Do you think wildly too?" Hibiki Higashi was annoyed, "Who did I paint "The Garden of Words" because of?"

"I don't know," Akimiya Akemi lowered her head and kicked the pebbles at her feet, "It might be killing two birds with one stone."

"Why are you acting like a little girl?" Dongye Xiang was speechless. He took out his mobile phone and made a call.

…

Naoko Takeuchi had just finished dealing with the editor and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw an unknown number calling in.

This was her private number, only owned by her friends, which made her curious and chose to answer the call.

"Takeuchi-sensei, I'm sorry."

"Who are you?"

"I am Tori Akino Mirai," Hibiki Higashino said calmly.

I heard the person on the other side breathing heavily, "You really did such a big thing."

Naoko Takeuchi said frantically: "Don't you know your reputation? Why did you include the Sailor Moon painting as an easter egg?"

Everyone in the family thought she was eating young grass among old cows.

Higashikata was speechless, what kind of reputation did he have? Why does Naoko Takeuchi dislike it so much?

He glanced at Akimiya Akemi, who was listening quietly, and said to Naoko Takeuchi: "If you have been misunderstood, I will refute the rumor through the editorial department."

Akimiya Akemi touched her chest and nodded silently.

From the looks of it, there is nothing going on.

She recalled carefully that the background was not painted by Hibiki Hibiki, but was the work of an assistant.

"Well, hurry up, hurry up." Naoko Takeuchi urged.

After apologizing again, Higashikata hung up the phone.

Naoko Takeuchi asked: "Wait! How come you have my phone number?"

Akimiya Minmei's eyes also became sharp.

"Didn't you pass your mobile phone number to me through Teacher Zhuo Yuan last time?"

Naoko Takeuchi suddenly realized that when she wanted to know the outcome of Yukino and Takao, she wanted to talk to Hibiki Higashino.

As a result, he did not give permission and just passed the easter egg in the work to himself.

Yukino put on the shoes made by Takao, which represented that the two of them finally came together.

Thinking of this, Naoko Takeuchi calmed down.

Akimiya Akemi also lowered her head in shame.

After hanging up the phone.

Higashino felt that he had been wronged.

He called Torishima Kazuhiko, hoping that he could speak for himself through media channels.

Torishima Kazuhiko immediately agreed, but in the end, he curiously asked: "Is this true or false? Just tell me in a low voice, I won't tell anyone."

Dong Yexiang was angry, why would everyone take it seriously?

It obviously sounds very ridiculous and is simply impossible.

"Of course it's impossible!" He hung up the phone angrily.

Seeing Higashino Hibiki's attitude so determined, Akimiya Akemi completely believed him.

"I'm sorry." She picked up Hibiki's finger and whispered coquettishly.

Dongye Xiang's heart melted, who could make him like her?

Alas, Maomao sighed.

He touched Akimiya Mingmei's head and wanted to say something. He felt a tingling sensation, so he took it back and whispered: "It's time to go to class."

"Yes!" Akimiya Akemi reacted fiercely.

The two of them returned to the classroom, and the classmates whispered to each other.

"It seems to be true. The teachers have all made interviews."

"What do college students want to talk about?"

"I must be worried that it will affect Musashino's reputation."

Higashikata returned to his seat, feeling so embarrassed for the first time in his life.

…

Higashino Hibiki's teachers' dormitory.

Oda glanced at the door anxiously, his heart beating hard.

He originally wanted to take sick leave, but after thinking about it, instead of saving up, he would rather let Tori Akino give him a good beating to vent his frustration.

Oda just hoped that through the form of easter eggs, Yamazaki Akira would understand the influence of "Sailor Moon", but he dug a big hole.

It has the potential to become the most popular news in the first half of the year.

"This morning, on "Weekly Shōnen Jump", some viewers gave us feedback about a character who looked like "Sailor Moon" in "Slam Dunk", a work by Mirai Tori Akino, watching the Easter egg of the basketball game. "

News reports began on television.
