Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 12 Toyoji Don't Want To Be Too Straightforward

Ryuichi Yoshimine, the principal of Beiyijuku High School, is an acquaintance of Higashinoji.

After all, in the past month, Higashino has been in the principal's office whenever he has time, to help move things and copy some materials

At first, Ryuichi Yoshimine resisted Higashinoji's behavior, but he got used to it afterward.

He also began to take care of Dong Yesi from time to time.

After all, in his opinion, Higashinoji is just a pure high school student without any scheming, and he also came from this age.

Looking at the other party's clean and pure face (it's purely good-looking), Yoshimine Ryuichi also acquiesced in such an unexpected guest coming to visit from time to time.

In the space of a few words, he brought a cup of tea for Dong Yesi and poured another cup for himself, then sat down with a mocking smile on his face:

"What's the matter with Mr. Higashino coming here this time? Let me tell you in advance that I know about your sister's situation, but the regulations are there, so I can't open this door for you."

Before the words started, the other party blocked the premise.

But Higashino was not annoyed, just smiled: "Look at what you said, Principal Ji Feng, I'm not that kind of person either. I came here this time for something else."

Of course Higashino knew that Ryuichi Yoshimine would not agree to speak now.

After all, he can't let the other party believe that he has the ability to win the Tokyo Youth Painting Bounty Award, right?

"I hope to join the art department, and I hope Principal Jifeng can approve it."

There are ready-made drawing boards and canvases in the Art Department of Beiyi School. Except for the painting plates, paints, and oil brushes, Dong Yesi does not need to pay for the rest.

Make do with these tools, wait until the gold reward is won, and then make your own request.

"You want to join the art department? Teacher Gangye is in charge of this matter. Why don't you just go to her and apply?"

etc--

Yoshimine Ryuichi suddenly realized. He looked at Higashino Division: "Oh, Mr. Okano basically doesn't recruit art department members from the headquarters. To enter the art department, you need a foundation in painting, so it's no wonder you came to me."

The admission requirements of the Art Department of Beiyi School are very strict, and entering through him is equivalent to going through the back door.

Ji Fenglong smiled.

"Sure enough, I still can't hide from Principal Jifeng."

Higashino smiled shyly.

Seeing his youthful and immature performance, Ryuichi Yoshimine didn't think too deeply.

Just entering the art department is not a big deal.

He wrote a note, then took the seal, stamped it, and handed it to Dong Yesi: "Just show this to Mr. Gangye."

"Please trouble Principal Jifeng, I will definitely give you a surprise."

"Hahaha." Ji Fenglong laughed.

He didn't particularly care about Higashinoji's words.

He is the principal of Beiyi School, what surprise can Higashino Division have to surprise him?

There is no intention of looking down on Higashinoji here, but his status is here. Could it be possible that Higashinoji is still expected to win the Tokyo Youth Painting Bounty Award?

Dong Yesi had to go through his own back door even to enter the art department, no matter how he thought about it, he had no chance.

He waved his hand and started chatting with Higashinoji.

Of course Higashino would not leave either, after all, it is not the way to be a human being just to pat his ass and leave after asking the other party to help.

Ji Fenglong felt very comfortable.

After all, chatting with Higashino Division made him quite happy.

The other party is very good at talking and answering calls. Unlike ordinary students, he shares some social anecdotes from time to time that even he, the principal, has never heard or seen.

The noon time passed quickly in the chat.

There was nothing to say about the afternoon class, so Higashino sat in his seat and passed by casually.

He has always been a person who never forgets his teacher's kindness, and he has long since returned what his teacher taught him in his previous life.

Letting him learn these things again now is simply torturing his mind.

Dong Yesi didn't know how those old buddies who came back from time travel calmed down and studied hard, anyway, he couldn't learn it.

than learning

"Higashino-san wants to enter the art department, right?"

Ryoko Okano, the instructor of the North Yijuku Art Department, looked at the book documents with the seal of Principal Yoshimine in her hand, and at the same time looked at Higashinoji in front of her.

Her attitude is neither particularly friendly nor distant, just the attitude towards ordinary students.

"Please be sure to let me join the art department."

Higashinoji said in a positive tone.

"Well, it's not difficult, but the work of the art department of Beiyijuku is very strict, which is different from the club. Higashino, are you sure you can keep up?"

After Okano Yoshiko confirmed that it was Yoshimine Ryuichi's seal, her attitude became much better, and she asked.

"Buhuo", which is the abbreviation of campus "club activities" in Japanese, originated from the Japanese campus club activities in the Meiji era.

The "department activities" of the Japanese Ministry is to produce results in a certain aspect, so the internal rules of the Ministry are very strict.

This is the case with the Art Department of Beiyi School.

At least four times a week to attend the art department to draw, and no absence is allowed without special circumstances.

And after the "ministration work" is over, a summary report needs to be written. This summary report is very troublesome, and many students in the ministry and regiment are unwilling to write it.

But it must be submitted to the school every once in a while, so there is no way.

After all, if you use the school's venue and the community funds allocated by the school, you have to bear the corresponding obligations.

"I'll try to keep up."

Higashino nodded with a smile.

He is greedy for the drawing boards, canvases and open space of the art department, so he doesn't bother to care about these miscellaneous things.

Hearing Higashinoji's assurance, Okano Ryoko didn't say anything more.

She took out the spare key of the Art Department from the drawer and handed it to Dong Yesi. After a few words of advice, she lowered her head and continued to work on her own affairs.

Of course, Higashino, who got the key, didn't stay here any longer. He thanked him, then walked away from the teaching building and headed for the club activity building.

The art department is located in the studio on the third floor, Higashino didn't think much, and walked directly into it.

As soon as he entered the studio, a smell of oil paint and turpentine rushed into his nose.

But instead of feeling pungent, he felt an inexplicable sense of nostalgia.

He used to have a studio, which is gone now, and when he has some spare money, he still wants to set up a studio.

As soon as Higashinosi entered the studio, he saw a group of little girls surrounding a girl with long hair.

From time to time, there are still a few voices, "How did you draw this?" ''Senior is amazing! ' exclamation.

Japanese high school studios have always been full of yin and yang, after all, Japanese male high school students who are pursuing are busy pursuing Japanese tablet girls, and if they are not good enough, they will go to study.

Then when will you have time to join this kind of art club that sits for an afternoon?

Higashinoji did not have the habit of asking his seniors for instructions before entering the door like ordinary Japanese.

He squinted at the group of girls, walked in on his own, and then looked around.

In the corner of the studio, there are several oak easels with paint stained on the edges, and a few drawing boards with mottled paint on the surface.

This is the case with the drawing boards that have been used for a long time. The paint will penetrate the painting paper and seep into the drawing board, leaving marks on the surface of the drawing board over time.

Apart from these, there are easels, buckets and small benches that seem to be messy but are placed around in an orderly manner.

The current students of the Art Department of Kita Gijuku are preparing for the Tokyo Youth Awards, and many of them have finished half of their oil paintings.

The girl in the middle of the crowd probably has the best drawing skills among these girls, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people around.

But this has nothing to do with Higashinoji——

In the past, he was a professional painter who made a living by painting. Let him look at the paintings of these high school students again.

how to say

He didn't want to be too straightforward, so he just found a word to describe it.

Rubbish.
