My girlfriend is Kusunoko Saiki

In extreme embarrassment, and because of some brain overload, Naoto blurted out. When he came to his senses, he found that it was too late.

"Nan Yunxiao? Who is that?"

When Naoto said this, Nan Yunxiao felt like her lungs were going to explode.

I was really blinded by my own greed. How could I have thought that this little brother would be sensible? !

"Yamashita Naoto! Listen to me! The champion this time must belong to me, Nanyun! Just wait!"

At this time, Naoto looked at the roaring Nan Yunxiao, feeling very aggrieved and wanted to explain.

Can you explain to me who Nan Yunxiao is? I really didn't know anything about him before!

Chapter 84: The Beginning of the Youth Painting Appreciation

After being shocked by Nan Yunxiao's declaration of war, Naoto ignored it.

Naoto already had enough to worry about lately. There was no reason to worry so much about someone he didn't even know who he was.

If this person wants to declare war, then let him declare war. Although I don’t think I can definitely win this time, it doesn’t mean I think I can’t do it.

All in all, Naoto is no pushover.

If anyone dares to pinch it, Zhiren will definitely make them understand what it means to be pricked.

As time goes by, Naoto has more and more comic manuscripts in his hands.

Naoto even had time to go to the Blood Clan animation team to take a look at the progress of the animation.

Basically, Naoto is stuck in a cycle of going back and forth between school, home, and the animation crew.

After a long wait, the final announcement day of the Tokyo Youth Painting Award has finally arrived.

As the largest art competition in the entire Tokyo area, and even backed by an official art association, the judging is even stricter than that of the national high school competition.

At the beginning, approximately 1,500 oil paintings were selected from thousands of art paintings for the preliminary selection stage.

The so-called preliminary selection is for several judges to take a rough look at all the oil paintings.

There are about four judges in a competition. If you can get the approval of one of the four judges, you can move on to the next stage.

Of course this is definitely very simple, but every year many people's works are still screened out at the first stage.

And when it comes to the next stage, it becomes even more outrageous.

It would be considered good if there could be about five or six hundred works left, but of course it is possible that there could be even fewer.

In the end, there were only about twenty works submitted for the competition.

Of course, this doesn't work for straight people.

After all, the privilege of winning the high school student competition allowed him to directly participate in the final selection.

Judging from the final number of people, the elimination rate from thousands to twenty or thirty is already a very scary one.

Even in the junior category, it was already a very scary thing, let alone the adult category.

That's even more of a riot of demons.

Those who can persevere to the end can be called gods in the school.

And according to the information revealed on the Internet, this time the lineup is quite luxurious. In comparison, the high school students' competition can be called shabby.

In addition to President Fujino himself, there are even Mr. Yamamura, who is known as the master of Chinese painting, Mr. Honda, the first in Japanese oil painting, and Mr. Kyuda, who was nominated by the German Minister of Education.

If these people were in other places, just a shake of their legs would make the art world tremble.

This time, they were sitting in their seats without saying a word and began to evaluate the paintings of the contestants.

For these industry leaders, even the Youth Award is just a small competition for them and is not a big deal at all.

If it weren't for President Fujino's repeated invitation, they would not have come to participate in this competition.

At this time, they had already watched all the works of the youth group. Generally speaking, there was nothing surprising.

That is the normal level that ordinary high school students can achieve.

Even paintings that are considered amazing by ordinary people are just so-so in their eyes. It is not surprising at all.

The focus this time is naturally on the adult group.

For these people, only these works are worth watching.

After all, most of these people are already famous in the industry, and many of them are even disciples and children of industry masters.

These people are the real targets of the judges this time.

“Huh? This work…”

Mr. Honda, who is the leading oil painter in the country, got Naoto’s first painting as the first one.

The whole picture is covered with extremely warm tones. At first glance, it makes people feel very warm.

Outside the window, white snow was flying everywhere. The parents and two children were sitting on the sofa, as if they were isolated from the outside world.

Warm and charming.

Warmth is the first feeling this painting gave him.

When he saw this painting, he seemed to recall his childhood when he and his parents huddled in the room during the Spring Festival. There was no television or other entertainment activities at that time.

But it is so warm.

I fell asleep in a daze under the warm quilt. Now when I think back on it, it seems so happy.

"Happiness with your family? Good idea, Yamashita Naoto? So it's him."

Honda looked at the signature at the bottom corner of the painting and quickly remembered who created it.

The champion of the high school student competition and currently the best-selling cartoonist in the country. A genius among geniuses.

Although Honda had been somewhat dismissive of this man before, when he actually saw Naoto's manuscript, he found himself convinced.

At least the level of this painting is something that my students can't draw. I didn't expect that this talented boy would have such a great improvement in painting skills after a few months. He is even better than when he participated in the high school competition.

After a little thought, he tentatively decided to cast a vote for this painting.

But at this time, President Fujino also got another painting of Naoto.

This time, the painting surprised President Fujino even more.

Fireworks scattered in the night sky.

Above the stream, there are river lanterns that look like stars.

On the path, a man and two women stood there, as if embracing the whole world.

Yes, this is exactly what happened to Naoto during the Obon Festival.

This was the happiest day for him since his parents passed away. How could Naoto forget all this?

The Obon Festival is especially wonderful with the company of beautiful women.

And the lovely sister adds more embellishment to this painting.

While this painting is filled with family affection, it is also embellished with love. In comparison, this painting has more meaning.

Especially in terms of color tone and style, this painting appears to be bolder.

Both paintings are filled with a strong Naoto style.

Even in it, everyone can see that the layout actually has some comic meaning.

This person actually used some comic techniques and added them into traditional paintings!

"It's an incredibly bold approach. The key is that both paintings appear to be extremely harmonious, without any disharmony. This young man is truly a genius."

At this time, several judges looked at Naoto's paintings and expressed their approval.

But what President Fujino was more curious about at this time was——

"Wait, what exactly is this surprise that Naoto is talking about?!"

Chapter 85: A unique winner

When the results of the Tokyo Youth Awards were announced, many reporters gathered at the venue.

There are more people coming this time than last time.

After all, this time, a large number of young talents gathered together. It was much more valuable than the last national high school student competition.

This time, even JUMP's ace cartoonist is involved in this gimmick, so how could it not attract attention?

Even if we rule out Yamashita Naoto, the rest of the group including Nan Yun Xiao and Sawano Kiyoko are no pushovers, not to mention the other winners from the previous high school student competition.

The gold content is already full.

Everyone is looking forward to what kind of fierce competition will be witnessed in this Youth Awards.

For this competition, let’s start with the youth group.

As mentioned before, the junior group this time is really not very good.

Because these contestants are basically familiar faces from previous national high school art competitions.

And because the top five did not participate in this competition, even the junior group this time looked a little disappointing.

High emotional intelligence: average grades among high school students.

Low emotional intelligence: This is an ordinary high school student's painting, without any special features.

When the list of winners for the junior category was announced, the reporters were all a little drowsy.

Works of this level simply cannot give them the interest they deserve.

I finally waited until all the works of the youth group were released.

At this moment, all the reporters became energetic as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

After all, this is the highlight!

Naoto and others in the audience looked at the familiar President Fujino who stood up, and they also began to concentrate and started listening.

"Ahem, everyone, after the current selection, we have already made our selection. Although there are many regrets, among the contestants this time, there are many talented contestants, but there are only three winners. Here, I hope that those who have not won the prize will not give up."

After President Fujino spoke a long and sleepy speech again, the award ceremony finally began.

“First of all, we congratulate the bronze medal winner, Ms. Kiyoko Sawano for her work Childhood, Memories.”

As soon as President Fujino said this, Miss Kiyoko's painting immediately appeared on the big screen.

In the picture, the little girl is hiding in the corner of the room, secretly tasting a small piece of cake in her hand.

The colors of the room are dreamy and full of princess atmosphere.

He has all kinds of dolls and clothes, but he is so obsessed with a piece of cake.

One can't help but wonder, why can this painting be called happiness?

At this moment, when Qingzi learned that she only won the bronze medal, her face changed slightly, but she quickly covered it up in her face the next moment.

If I only won the bronze medal, then what place did that annoying guy get? It's impossible that he didn't win any prize, right?! How could that be possible?

At this time, Qingzi glanced slightly and found that Nan Yunxiao was also looking at him with a smug look, as if to say that he won.

This made Qingzi a little overwhelmed, and her delicate face was slightly distorted.

This painting also records Qingzi's childhood.

Unlike Naoto, this painting shows the taste of Kiyoko when she first tasted the cake as a child.

Although Qingzi's family is very wealthy, her family education is also very strict.

His mother wanted him to learn dancing at first, so she forbade him to eat any high-calorie foods.

That time, the cake was made by the maid at home, who secretly gave it to her.

It was also at that time that Qingzi tasted sweetness for the first time.

That kind of happy feeling is when Qingzi feels she is the happiest.

However, such a painting only won a bronze medal, which made Qingzi sigh and wonder if her skills were really inferior to others?

"Well, let's move on to the silver prize winners. Congratulations to Nan Yunxiao and his work."
