Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

on Monday

Hojo Kyousuke woke up from his sleep, glanced at the sunlight sneaking through the gap between the curtains and the wall, and felt as if he was dead.

After washing up, I put on my wrinkle-free school uniform, picked up my schoolbag and went out. After parking his motorcycle near the school, he went to the convenience store he usually visited to buy breakfast. Then he saw a large billboard in front of the bookstore next to the convenience store.

The main subject is the colorful homepage he drew. On Mr. Saitama's head is this sentence: "One-hit man! Absolute strength!"

Then, perhaps because he was too close to Dongcheng and knew it too well, the boss also unfolded the banner on the billboard and used blank paper to add more detailed and attractive content:

"The Second Generation of the Rampant Angel, attack across dimensions and protect the other world!"

A bunch of people wearing the same school uniform as Hojo Kyousuke gathered around and talked non-stop. Some students may have paid better attention to the outside world and were not covered by the advertisements of "Weekly Shonen High", so they didn't know what happened. At this time, the classmates next to them and the boss standing at the door of the bookstore will proudly and loudly educate them about science.

Outside the grand gate of Dongcheng Middle School, the trees beside the sidewalk are still green. Students in school uniforms are coming and going, not just boys, but also girls passing by from nearby schools. They are talking and laughing in twos and threes. The morning sun is shining on them, and they are full of joy. He was filled with beautiful scenes of youth, but Hojo Kyousuke only felt a chill in his heart.

He hurriedly handed over the money, ignoring the questions from the classmates in the convenience store, and walked quickly towards the school gate across the road with an expressionless face.

"Hojo-kun!"

Damn it, why did the bookstore owner who was busy bragging and chatting still see me? Hojo Kyousuke paused and turned around, revealing a stiff face.

"On Saturday, I will buy ten times the amount of "Weekly Shōnen High" as before! I will also hold a huge promotion and call on everyone to fill in the reply letter to support you!"

The boss with the shaggy hair shouted loudly, and at the same time he bent his right hand and put his left hand on his right arm, making a cheering gesture like firing a laser.

"Haha, thank you for your support." Hojo Kyosuke laughed twice, then turned and walked towards the school, with the loud voice of the bookstore owner coming from behind.

"Everyone must remember to support Hojo-kun when the time comes. Buy a comic magazine and get an exercise book as a gift!"

Thank you so much. Don’t think I don’t know that your exercise books and answers are sold separately. Groaning in his heart, Hojo Kyosuke walked into the school.

The classmates along the way, in addition to saying hello to him as usual, would also excitedly express their support for his comics.

So what about the promised free creators? ! Hojo Kyosuke smiled and thanked while complaining. In addition to choosing to draw comics because every senior time traveler has said this, the fact that the creator is free and unrestrained other than being urged to draft is also a big plus for him.

And urging him to publish is not a problem at all. As an obsessive-compulsive disorder, he can be said to be the perfect writer that all editors dream of. If he doesn't prepare the manuscript for the next issue in advance, he will feel uncomfortable.

Otherwise, he could choose to go to a cram school to earn a scholarship like Tetsuta Kisaki said, or apply for a job as a teacher based on his ability to get full marks in science subjects even if he takes the general entrance examination of the University of Tokyo. Of course, this idea is unlikely to be realized due to his age, but in order to keep his golden name, the cram school may give him a large scholarship.

Anyway, Kisaki Tetsuta, thank you for making my school life so lively after it became less peaceful. Sure enough, I still can’t let you go so easily!

The magnificent school in Dongcheng has become so unpleasant now. Why is the main road in front of the school so long? Why should the stairs be able to accommodate so many people walking at the same time...

Hojo Kyousuke's face almost cramped from laughing all the way. Unlike in the past where he could just say hello and deal with it casually. Although he was a free creator, these classmates who were about to support him could be regarded as his parents, so he thanked them all.

After closing the sliding door of the classroom, while the overly enthusiastic classmates in the corridor were isolated, Hojo Kyousuke leaned against the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hojo-san, since you are here, I told you that your manga can be serialized. That's great!"

Seeing the arrival of the protagonist, the originally heated discussion in the classroom fell silent at first, but everyone applauded when Hanagaki Budo spoke first.

"Thank you everyone, thank you everyone." Hojo Kyosuke unconsciously used the business smile he had developed when Itomori was a life coach.

"Congratulations, Hojo. The manga has become a hit before it even starts selling. It's just around the corner to become a top-level manga artist."

Kisaki Tetsuta looked at his elder brother who acted like a master in every move, and clapped his hands with emotion on his face. It seems that soon I will be able to enjoy the moon together in my eldest brother's mansion and talk about the future. Next, I should start to inquire about real estate.

"It's not a good thing you did, so what's the point of my pen name?"

After walking to his seat and sitting down, hanging his schoolbag on the side of the table, Hojo Kyosuke said angrily.

"Aren't pen names chosen with the author's will in mind? EGOIST, Egoist, not only expresses your free creative intentions, but also highlights your personality. In addition, didn't you say it was for a favorite singer? Also, didn't you say it was for a favorite singer? It also happens to be able to tell at a glance that you belong to that club called egoistic-lily, this name couldn't be more perfect."

Kisaki Tetsuta stopped clapping, looked at his elder brother sincerely, and used the most sincere tone in his life.

"Even if you tell me the truth, you will still have to spar with me alone twenty times during the kendo club activities after school."

Hojo Kyosuke automatically filtered out what Tetsuta Kisaki said and took out a modern literature textbook to read. There are no designated textbooks in Neon, and each school uses different textbooks. But it doesn’t matter which textbook you use, because during the central examination, the Mandarin test is all about dense reading comprehension.

Morning reading began, and the chatter in the classroom finally stopped, allowing him to finally read with peace of mind.

The next study is step by step. Hojo Kyosuke is concentrating on preparing for the mid-term review in late May, which is also the mid-term exam. This time he will not let the first crown fall.

The heated discussions and expectations of the students in the school for "One Punch Man" did not cool down with the passage of time as he expected, but intensified. Every day in school, Hojo Kyosuke could hear someone counting down, and it had already appeared. We have an organized team ready to go shopping together and hold a book club.

Maybe they will stop after seeing the comics, he comforted himself.

In the meantime, he also thought about whether to invite Sakura and Glass to buy comics on Saturday and share the joy with them. However, after thinking about a certain blond girl, he chose to go to Akihabara alone with Eiri. After all, The other party is the biggest contributor.

Time soon came to Saturday, and there was no more body swapping in the middle. Just like Hojo Kyosuke thought, the intervals between body swapping became longer the further they went.

Although the alarm clock was not set, Hojo Kyousuke, who had fallen asleep early the day before, still woke up early in the morning. After washing up and having breakfast, he originally wanted to take a white shirt from the wardrobe that was all black, white and gray to wear, but after thinking about it, he took out Miyami Mitsuha's already washed Eiri and gave it to him. T-shirt.

He has no psychological burden about wearing such a T-shirt with a beautiful girl pattern printed on it. Today he and Eri are going to Akihabara, so wearing such clothes is just right for the occasion.

His wardrobe was not bought from a second-hand store. Instead, he bought a few wooden boards at the building materials market and made it himself. It is minimalist style. The only difference from a clothesline is that it is not visible to visitors. His drab clothes.

But it doesn't matter even if he sees it. Hojo Kyosuke is very self-aware of being a handsome guy and knows that he will always be handsome no matter what kind of clothes he wears.

But now that I have started to make money, should I improve my living conditions? I can’t afford a luxury house yet, but I can consider buying the single apartment I currently live in as the first step to becoming a landlord in Tokyo.

According to Hojo Kyosuke, his aunt's family bought this apartment four years ago for 7 million yen. Even if the value has increased a lot in the past two years, it can definitely be bought for less than 10 million yen.

Even if we don't mention the income from comics, as long as he doesn't eat or drink for three years, his salary as a part-time kendo club instructor will be enough to buy it. If the comic comes out successfully, I can even buy the apartment in full in an instant.

I really appreciate the efforts of the original authors. With such a happy mood, Hojo Kyousuke walked out of the room.

Tokyo is as bustling as ever on Saturdays, and workers who have to go to work are still flowing on the trams and zebra crossings, working hard for the management fees of their bosses' mansions.

After entering May, the temperature of the morning sun has begun to rise. Hojo Kyousuke, who is riding a pure black motorcycle on the road, feels as if he has jumped out of this busy city. It is not the kind of leisure that belongs only to students, but the kind that will be sold today. This magazine may lead him into a new future.

Hongo Avenue is a road that Hojo Kyosuke is already very familiar with. It is not surprising that he will take this road many times in the future. Along this road, it only takes less than twenty minutes to go from Hojo Kyosuke's apartment in Sendagi 49 to Eri's house without traffic jams, and there is no need to turn on the road.

Arriving at the old Furukawa Garden, the gate has been opened, and Hojo Kyosuke is riding a motorcycle slowly in the Japanese garden on the lower floor.

In May, the maple trees have already bloomed. Yes, the maple trees will bloom, but compared to the red leaves all over the mountain, the red flowers hidden under the green leaves are really inconspicuous. Small flowers dropped in the pond will also attract various koi to peck at them, but they will quickly disperse because they are not to their liking.

The sun shines on the road through the gaps between the leaves, and even the last trace of scorching heat has been filtered out. The air you breathe along the way is fresh and fresh, which is very different from Tokyo.

Admiring the luxurious courtyard scenery all the way, Hojo Kyosuke came to the iron-brown western-style building.

"Too slow, too slow!"

Yinglili, who was standing at the door, stamped her feet and said dissatisfiedly, is this guy really lost in his own yard? It has been almost ten minutes since the surveillance cameras at the gate of the manor captured him. Even if you can barely walk here, he has just arrived. Did she stand at the door waiting for so long just to complain that he came too slowly?

"Good morning, Yinglili. Because the scenery in the courtyard has changed, I accidentally became fascinated by it."

Hojo Kyosuke parked his motorcycle on the left side of the door, took off his helmet and held it in his arms. He did not get off the car in a hurry, but turned his head and looked down at the European-style courtyard above the Japanese-style courtyard. Under the sun, the neatly trimmed bushes symmetrical to the left and right along the central axis are as green as if they were carved from jade, making the flowers blooming in the middle even more beautiful.

It's a great pleasure to sit on the chair made of vines on the huge balcony and drink black tea while watching the scenery. Of course, it would be perfect if the person you drink tea with is a beautiful girl like Ying Lili.

With this in mind, he fixed the helmet on the buckle on the motorcycle, got off the motorcycle and said to Yinglili with a smile:

"It has different beauty from different angles. No matter how you look at it, you can't get enough of it. I wonder when we will have a courtyard like this."

Um! ? A garden like his own is the only one in Tokyo, so if Hojo Kyosuke wants to own a garden like this, he wants to own himself. No, he doesn’t just want to own himself, he even wants to take over all his property. Next, are you planning to get married?

So is this a confession? ! Yinglili, who quickly made some calculations in her head, immediately opened her eyes wide and looked at the boy in front of her with a smile that was brighter than the sun.

Right in front of my own home, at such a random time? This confession is too hasty. But today is indeed a good day. The comic that the two of them collaborated on will be released soon. Such plots do appear in anime. But even if this is the case, it should be after buying the comic and under the witness of the comic and the people around...

Why did this girl suddenly start to act stupid? Hojo Kyosuke looked at Eri with surprise, whose eyes had been blank since she heard her last words, and she was obviously lost in fantasy.

Is this the quality of a true creator? Can you find creative inspiration anytime, anywhere? Wouldn't it be dangerous if inspiration suddenly breaks out while crossing a zebra crossing?

"Yinglili? Yinglili!" He whispered a few words, and the eyes of the girl in front of him finally regained focus.

"It's too sudden, idiot. You have to be in high school to think about this kind of thing at least!"

Yinglili's little face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at the same time she shouted in shame and anger. Her proud voice in the past was slowly turning into shame, and her blue eyes seemed to have turned into the sea, and there was a wave of excitement. waves.

Um? ? What's so sudden? Hojo Kyosuke was stunned. Is it too sudden to consider buying a courtyard like this now?

"It's indeed a bit early. At least we have to wait until the comic comes out as a single volume before we can consider this kind of thing." He thought for a moment, and he seemed to be a little distracted. The comic had only been serialized for one issue and he was already looking at the big house.

"It won't work even if you publish a single book. Really, you idiot! The task of junior high school students is to study hard!"

Seeing Hojo Kyousuke's expression of seriously considering the future of the two of them, Eiri felt that her face was about to smoke, and she raised her little hand to fan the wind. What gave him the illusion that as long as he confessed to himself, he would definitely accept it? What a stupid narcissist!

"No, look, if a single book is published, even if it is only 100,000 copies, it will make about 5 million, and if I give you half of it, I will still have 2.5 million left. But I can still use comics. You can use the subsequent profits to get a bank mortgage loan, so you can easily buy some cheaper one-family buildings. You can choose a building with a smaller living area but a larger open space..."

No, not a confession? This idiot actually really just likes the garden? Looking at Hojo Kyosuke, who was carefully counting the income and expenses with his fingers, taking stock of the house prices and landscape trees, Eiri felt a tightness in his chest.

Her little face suddenly turned red again, but it was not because she was shy, but because she was angry. Then she patted her chest gently to comfort herself. She was not angry or not. Later, she changed his note to "Super person who likes the courtyard." Fool"!

"Hurry up and leave. Maybe no one will like your comics at all. Then you will have to look at my courtyard and daydream every day!" The angry girl said these words against her will.

"But shouldn't I go in first and ask Aunt Sayuri for a glass of water?" Hojo Kyosuke, who had already moved from a duplex to a duplex, was stunned.

"Idiots don't need to drink water. Let's go quickly!" Eri pushed Hojo Kyousuke's waist and pushed him in front of the motorcycle as he just walked up the steps.

"But don't you need to change your disguise?" Hojo Kyosuke looked at Eiri and asked.

The girl was actually wearing the same T-shirt with the male and female protagonists of the doujinshi on her upper body as he was, but she added an extra light green jacket, and her lower body was in gray sweatpants, and her iconic black-rimmed glasses were missing.

"What is disguise? It's just more comfortable to wear it that way!"

Ah, I hate this guy so much. Of course I have to wear more meaningful clothes on a day like the comic series. but……

"What about you, why are you wearing this dress today?" Although she had thought about the two of them wearing this dress together, but it suddenly came true, the girl was still a little shy, it really seemed like she was wearing couple's clothes! Did this guy do it on purpose?

"I thought since you gave it to me, I should wear this when I go out with you."

Hojo Kyosuke said truthfully, he also thought about the issue of couple costumes when he first saw Eiriri's clothes. But then I thought about it, if this can be considered a couple's costume, those otakus in Akihabara who wear pretty girl printed T-shirts can be counted as at least a ten-corner lover.

"What do you mean it's given to you? It's a gift!" Ying Lili took the helmet and put it on, her little nose twitching slightly. Very good, there is no smell in the helmet.

"Let's go." After climbing on the motorcycle, the girl immediately shouted in a low voice.

"You really don't need to say hello to Aunt Sayuri, okay?" Coming to the house and picking up his daughter without saying a word made Hojo Kyosuke feel like he was doing something bad.

"Long-winded!"

"Fine."

There will be more later
