Chapter 118 New Year's Party

The battle between the bright duo is getting closer and closer.

In the "Dashouhe" competition two weeks later, the two of them will be able to play against each other.

Ta Yaliang became more and more courageous in the Honinbo title battle, defeated the seventh-rank professional chess player, and entered the round-robin match.

Xiaoguang looked at Toya Ryo's Honinbo war chess record, and his inner fighting spirit became more and more passionate.

"Taya, let's fight!"

The destinies of the two of them have long been intertwined, and if they don't, they won't start a new future.

"You want Zuo Wei to play against, although he is no longer here."

"But in my game of Go, Zuo Wei is still there, although I don't know if you can notice it."

"I have become very strong, I will not lose to you!"

The scene of playing chess with Taya Ryo appeared in his mind.

"I will continue to play against you from now on!"

The chess piece landed on the chessboard, and Xiaoguang was firm and looking forward to it.

The fateful showdown is finally coming.

In the chess academy two weeks later, Xiaoguang learned that Yijiao became a professional chess player with all victories in the professional Go competition.

While he was having fun, Xiao Liang walked out of the elevator.

The two of them looked at each other.

Xiaoguang is firm and looking forward to it.

With a strong fighting spirit, Xiao Liang walked faster and faster, passing Xiao Guang aggressively.

Those eyes were clearly saying, "Let's go to war!"

That's the end of the manga.

Odagiri almost wanted to die, because of the New Year, jump stopped for a period.

I'm going to die if I can't see "Soul of Chess"!he thought.

……

Shueisha New Year's Party.

Hiroshi Motomiya was wearing a black suit, standing at the main entrance.

He saw a person walking towards him with the vigor and fighting spirit of a young man.

With fire in the eyes.He has lions in his eyes.

"Tori Akino-kun," Bengong Hiroshi was surprised, "what's wrong with you?"

Higashino came to his senses and rubbed the bridge of his nose, "Drawing manga is too involved, and I feel a little emotional for a while."

"It's in good shape."

Hiroshi Motomiya looked at this young man with satisfaction. He met and knew each other because of "Weekly Young Jump".

Hiroshi Motomiya likes his three views, and he works hard enough.

Serious, upward, and pure, it is simply the future of the comics industry.

"I'm very optimistic about you." Hiroshi Motomiya patted Higashino on the shoulder.

"Thank you, I am sincerely apprehensive." Higashino bowed.

"You, hahaha." Hiroshi Bengong pointed at Higashino Hibiki and laughed.

He still had to wait for others at the door, Higashino went in first.

This is Higashino's third time participating in Shueisha's New Year's Party, and every year there will be something to gain.

……

When chatting with some authors this year, Higashino suddenly discovered that there was nothing to gain.

Talking about the painting experience and daily anecdotes, I am very happy to be happy, but it is a futile happiness.

Does this mean that Hibiki Higashino has grown to the point where he is not inferior to other manga authors?

At this time, he saw Yoshihiro Togashi walk in, still with long hair fluttering, but his face was full of glory, and he seemed to be living a happy life.

"Tsk," Higashino heard the displeased voice of Mr. Mei Zechunren beside him.

Indeed, everyone is racking their brains for the weekly magazine, but Fu Jian of the monthly magazine can enjoy life, which is too enviable.

"Oh! Bird Akino-kun," Yoshihiro Togashi saw Higashino Hibiki and walked over with a smile. He thumped Higashino Hibiki's chest with unexpected enthusiasm.

"Teacher Fujian." Higashino nodded and greeted.
He was a little curious. Fu Jian was a relatively introverted person, and he didn't talk much at ordinary times.Do you know him that well?

Speaking of this, Higashino found that he was very popular with middle-aged and elderly cartoonists.

Whether it is Hiroshi Motomiya, Akira Toriyama, Hirohiko Araki, or Yoshihiro Togashi in front of him, they all have a good impression of him.

He touched his face, am I the type popular with men?

"Your drawings are really good and very courageous," he said, as if he admired you. "Comics should not be subservient to readers and editorial departments. Storytelling is the most important thing."

"Thank you." Higashino said. He squinted his eyes and didn't ask about the follow-up plot of "Level E". Let's watch it later.

Higashino likes this kind of niche comics.

And this is Togain's niche manga, the latest Xiaozheng is ranked No.6, which is deeply loved by readers.

Fu Jian asked: "How long do you plan to paint "Soul of Chess"? After the climax of the game between Hikari Shinto and Ryo Toya, are you going to draw the war between China, Japan and South Korea?"

The mountain village guardian on the side raised his ears and listened.

"I'm ready to finish "Soul of Chess", Higashino replied.

"It's over!" Before Yoshihiro Togashi could respond, Morimichi Yamamura yelled.

Higashino and Yoshihiro Togashi looked over.

Higashino said gratefully: "Mr. Yamamura, thank you for your newspaper comment. It has greatly helped "Soul of Chess" to recover."

Fujin didn't speak.

"Why is it over?" Yamamura did not respond to Higashi Higashi's thanks, and asked directly and complicatedly.

Higashino replied: "As you said, a complete story is over, isn't it?"

"But, I haven't surpassed "Soul of Chess" yet..." Shancun took a sip of champagne to himself, using the wine to relieve his worries.

From the beginning of serialization, he was preparing to surpass "Soul of Chess", and kept telling others that he wanted to surpass "Soul of Chess".Whether Mr. Arai or editor Asada, everyone is very excited.

I have worked hard for so long and never gave up.

But now, "Soul of Chess" is coming to an end, and he feels lost.

Even drawing manga is a bit dull.

Togashi Yoshihiro took a look at him and felt that this young man was a bit strange.

Afterwards, he asked Higashino Hibiki, "How long are you going to rest after the end of "Soul of Chess"? While you are still young, you can enjoy a little more..."

"The new serialization will start immediately. What is a break? I won't take a break at all." Higashino replied decisively.

"Hmm!" Yoshihiro Togashi groaned while clutching his chest, he couldn't imagine being so hardworking, and he felt internally injured just listening to it.

They were chatting when Hongzhi Hongzhi came over, "Higashino-kun, come and have a drink."

He is drunk.

"Sorry, Mr. Bengong, I'm still a minor." Higashino raised his left hand to stop him. It's okay to drink in private, but forget it in public.

"That's right!" Yoshihiro Togashi clapped his palms, "In another week, you will be attending the coming-of-age ceremony! Then you should relax, it's only once in your life."

"A coming-of-age ceremony? I'm not going to participate," Higashino shook his head, "I have to find time to draw manga."

Just kidding, now he is painting "Soul of Chess", and after a while, he will enter the rhythm of "Slam Dunk".

Assistants also need to get used to it in advance, tools and other things have to be replaced, information needs to be searched, where is the time to attend the coming-of-age ceremony?
Yoshihiro Togashi almost vomited out, for fear that Higashino Higashi's introverted breath would affect him.

Picking up the champagne handed by Hiroshi Motomiya, he bid farewell to Higashino Hibiki, and ran away quickly.

After that, there was a fixed lottery. This time, Hibiki Higashino did not win the grand prize, and watched the big TV being taken away by others.

Fortunately, he is the seventh winner.

Among the many unremarkable prizes left, Higashino looked at the basketball and picked it up.

"I want this, thank you."

He is still very satisfied that he can use it when painting "Slam Dunk" in the future.
