"Chiwa, let's go for a walk."

After dinner, Hiroyuki Higashino took Chiwa-chan out.

Children over one year old are very active. In comparison, Xiao Qianhe is very quiet and well-behaved. However, this is not necessarily a good thing. Children still need to be more active.

This rental house is cramped and depressing, and it's not good to stay there all day.

Going out for more walks will allow Xiao Qianhe to practice walking more.

There is a small park nearby about ten minutes away, so just go there and play.

"dad!"

Xiao Qianhe seemed very happy to be able to come out to play.

Seeing a little bird looking for food on the side of the road, she pointed at the bird and shouted.

"This is a little bird, a little~bird~."

"bird!"

Xiao Qianhe yelled with a hint of milky voice, full of anger.

"Yes, Chiwa-chan is really awesome!"

…

There are several children playing in the small park. It has slides, swings, and a sandy area. It is small and has not many play equipment. The small park is mainly for recreation.

Higashino Hirosawa accompanied Xiao Qian on the slide and played in the sand, and did not return until almost 7 o'clock.

The rental house where Higashino Hirosawa lives is in the fifth innermost room on the second floor of the apartment, and Nishimura Hiroshi, who was beaten by him last night, is in the third room in the middle.

There is also someone living in the fourth house, and Higashino Hirosawa has not met this neighbor yet.

But when I came back tonight, I was in for a surprise.

The occupant of the house is opening the door.

She looks like a female OL, and her figure looks okay.

The female neighbor saw Higashino Hiroyawa walking upstairs with Xiao Qianhe, but she just glanced at him and had no intention of saying hello to him. She quickly opened the door and immediately closed the door tightly after entering.

Higashino Hirosawa shook his head.

Not only are the living conditions in this shabby apartment poor, but the relationship between the residents here is also abysmal.

At the end of the day, not counting Nishimura Hiroshi and Higashino Hirosawa, they also met three neighbors upstairs and downstairs.

Everyone seemed to give him the impression that they wanted to stay as far away from the people who lived in this apartment as possible and never interact with them.

After thinking about it carefully, Higashino Hirosawa could not understand their thoughts.

The rent in this shabby apartment is undoubtedly very cheap, with a monthly rent of only 40,000 yen.

It's hard to find a cheaper apartment in Tokyo.

There is not even a bathroom in the apartment for rent. The residents who choose to live here are all because they are poor.

It's just that for them, they have no money, but what if the neighbor is poorer than them and is eyeing their money?

There is no benefit in dealing with such poor neighbors, and it may cause trouble for oneself. Of course, it is better not to deal with them if possible.

The rental house is cramped and depressing, the environment is unsafe, and the neighbors are indifferent.

Higashino Hirosawa wanted to have a good relationship with his neighbors, but if he forced himself on them, others would think he had ulterior motives.

So out of sight, out of mind, it would be good for Xiao Qianhe's growth to move out and rent a new house as soon as possible.

However, no matter how good the conditions and environment of a rented apartment are, it is still not as good as your own house.

As a Chinese, Hiroyuki Higashino wants to buy a house rather than rent.

But houses in Tokyo, with moderately decent conditions, start at tens of millions of yen in price.

That's why Higashino Hirosawa chose to serialize several comics at the same time. Otherwise, serializing just one comic, even Dragon Ball, would not allow him to quickly earn enough money to buy a house in a short period of time.

Serial comics are paid per page, and no matter how many manuscripts Higashino Hirosawa submits, a comic magazine can only serialize two episodes at most.

The number of pages in a magazine is basically fixed. If an author occupies an extra serialization position, it means that another author's serialization will be cut off.

It is impossible for a publisher to give too many serialization slots to the same author, as this would pose a systemic risk to the magazine.

The more popular the author, the greater the risk.

The reason is simple. If something happens to the author and he is unable to serialize, the magazine will suffer a huge blow.

Therefore, only through serialization, the royalties that comic authors can obtain are limited.

What really makes comics authors make a lot of money is the sales royalties after the comics are published as individual volumes.

Only when the single volume sells well will the cartoonist's income increase significantly.

Otherwise, a less famous cartoonist who just serializes comics will not have much money left after paying his assistant's salary.

What's more, in addition to buying a house, completing the wishing machine commission also requires money.

Just like Ozo Takeharuo's commission, if Higashino Hirosawa had a net worth of tens of billions, he could have customized a position for Ozo Takeharuo, paid him a salary, and then kicked him away after the commission was completed.

…

Xiao Qianwa was sweating all over from playing. After returning, Higashino immediately boiled a pot of hot water, adjusted the temperature with cold water, and washed her body in the bathroom.

After Chiwa-chan finished washing, Higashino Hirosawa also washed himself in the bathroom.

Fortunately, there is a bathroom, otherwise I wouldn't be able to make do with it.

Chiwa-chan started playing with the Rubik's Cube again with great interest. When it was almost nine o'clock, she finally got tired of playing and fell into a deep sleep.

After covering Xiao Qianhe with quilt, Higashino Hirosawa continued to draw dragon balls.

After finishing each chapter in the middle of the painting, he would take a break and then continue painting.

By around two o'clock in the middle of the night, the first four chapters of Dragon Ball were finished.

Waving his numb arms, Higashino Hirosawa set the alarm clock and fell asleep.

"Beep beep! beep beep!"

At 7:20 the next morning, the alarm clock rang.

Higashino Hirosawa stretched his body and shook little Chiwa who was still sleeping soundly.

"Chiwa, get up, you have to go to kindergarten."

Xiao Qianhe's consciousness was still a little blurry, but when she heard the word "kindergarten", she jumped up from the ground.

It seems that kindergarten is very attractive to her.

Change Xiao Qianhe's diapers, brush her teeth and wash her face.

Then put her in blue kindergarten clothes and a yellow hat.

This is the uniform uniform of Hua'er Kindergarten, and Chiwa-chan seems to like it very much.

After everything was packed up, Higashino Hirosawa hugged Chiwa-chan and went out with the drawn manuscript of Dragon Ball Chapter 4.

We squeezed onto the bus and at 7:50, the bus stopped at a stop not far from Hua'er Kindergarten.

There are several teachers wearing uniform kindergarten uniforms waiting at the entrance of the kindergarten. After parents send their children over, they will register them and then bring them into the kindergarten.

"Higashino-kun, you are here. Chiwa-chan, good morning."

A young female teacher saw Higashino Hirosawa and Xiao Qianhe coming over and immediately said hello with a bright smile.

Higashino Hirosawa looked over and saw an "Otanabe" surname brand pinned to her chest.

"Teacher Otanabe, good morning. I'll leave Chiwa to you."

"Yes, please don't worry."

Odabe nodded.

Higashino Hirosawa felt that Odanabe had just become a teacher not long ago and was very enthusiastic and motivated.

"By the way, Teacher Otanabe, no matter who comes except me, don't let him pick up Chiwa-chan."

Higashino Hirosawa thought for a while and said softly to Mr. Odanabe.

"Don't worry, you told me, I won't forget it, and I won't let others take Xiao Qianhe away!"

Mr. Otanabe assured me vigorously.

It seems that the original Higashino Hirosawa also explained this to Mr. Odanabe, and Mr. Odanabe should have some knowledge about Higashino Hirosawa.

After watching Chiwa-chan enter the academy, Higashino Hirosawa turned around and walked to a convenience store not far away.

Japanese convenience stores provide the function of sending and receiving mail. After Higashino Hirosawa mailed the manuscript of Dragon Ball, he hurriedly got on the bus heading to Sakuragi High School.

…

"morning."

"Good morning."
