Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 142 Progress is so fast! (The goal of 8000 words is achieved!)

The next day.

Since it was Saturday today, it was rare for Higashino to clean up, and Higashino Chihaya also helped a lot.

It didn't take much time for this cleaning, only an hour.

An hour later, Higashino Division was just starting to draw the manuscript, and then——

"Asi. Why don't you go out with friends on Saturdays and Sundays?" Chihaya Higashino looked at Higashino Si worriedly: "Does Asi have no friends? It's too pitiful."

"" Higashino was taken aback by her sudden question, but quickly explained dumbfoundingly: "I still have a lot of friends at school."

I don't know how many little girls confessed to me in school. If this is still pitiful, then those high school boys who don't even have a youthful confession are even more pitiful to the extreme?

"Then why have I never seen a friend who is the same age as you, Asi, come to our house to play?"

Higashino Chihaya looked at Higashino Division suspiciously.

She had only seen Higashinoji bring Hosokawa Koharu to the door, and Hosokawa Koharu was Higashinoji's immediate boss, not a good friend of her peers.

Thinking of this, Chihaya Higashino frowned even tighter.

She herself has the face of a melancholy beauty, and when her eyebrows are furrowed, her pretty face is even more distressing.

After all, she is the younger brother of Higashinoji, and Higashinoji is always stupid, can't play games well, and often throws her at monsters.

So we must be optimistic about him, lest he be bullied in school.

"Is there no one to accompany Ah Si? It's so pitiful, come, let my sister touch it." Chihaya Higashino stretched out her small hand and touched Higashino Si's head.

Chihaya Higashino cared about her sincerely, so Higashino Si just smiled and let her go.

But she was actually right.

Higashinoji didn't have many close friends in school, Hou Yuanzhong, who was always being led away by his girlfriend, barely counted as half of them, and the rest were all girls.

Konoe Suzuka, Fujiwara Aoi, Takahashi Yumi, etc., those who have helped me before are considered friends.

Just as Higashinoji was thinking about how to explain a few sentences, the phone in his pocket rang.

Higashino Division immediately made use of the topic and got out of Higashino Chihaya's clutches: "A friend called me, I'll answer the phone."

He stood up, walked to the entrance, and glanced at the name on it.

"Takahashi?" Higashino had imagined all kinds of callers, but what he never expected was that the caller was Yumi Takahashi.

He had exchanged phone numbers with Takahashi Yumi before, but the other party never called. This was probably the first time.

I don't know what the other party called to find me.

Higashino answered the phone.

"Ah, it's clear. Look, I told you that Mr. Higashino will answer my call." Yumi Takahashi on the other side of the phone was very excited and didn't know who she was talking to, but soon Higashino heard Aoi Fujiwara The scolding voice: "It's very impolite to leave classmate Dongye aside like this when talking about important matters! Be careful with your words, be more reserved, and don't be too direct."

Takahashi Yumi quickly said 'oh', as if she understood, and then she turned to Higashinoji on the phone: "Mr. Higashino, can I come to your house to play?"

Uh

Higashinoji was taken aback by her words that were too "exquisite, tactful, and not very direct".

Even Fujiwara Aoi, who was next to Takahashi Yumi, seemed to be very angry with this guy. There was a sound of phone exchange, followed by Fujiwara Aoi's voice: "I'm sorry, Higashino-san, that idiot just now"

"It's all right." Higashino said kindly: "Student Takahashi is still energetic as always, that's all right. Do you want to come to my house as a guest?"

It was a coincidence.

Higashino Division was thinking about how to deal with Higashino Chihaya.

Don't look at Higashino Chihaya's appearance, as long as she gets into the corner, she won't be able to break free.

"Uh..." Hearing Higashinoji's question, Fujiwara Aoi gave Takahashi Yumi a hard look.

It's all the fault of this guy, he is not reserved at all!

But since Dong Yesi asked, she didn't hide anything, and simply explained: "Well, it might be a bit presumptuous, can we come here? Lianghua is also nearby. Come, Lianghua, you also have a word."

The voice of the phone transfer came again, followed by Konoe Lianghua's trembling voice: "Then, hello, Higashino-san. I, can we come over as guests?"

Just saying this sentence, I have already spoken in a bumpy way, and my voice is a little out of breath.

This made Higashinoji a little funny, but he didn't think about it, and quickly replied to her: "No problem, Konoe-san, Takahashi-san and Fujiwara-san, you can all come to my place as guests. After all, it's rare It's Saturday."

"Won't it be inconvenient?"

"No." Dong Yesi said, sneaking a glance at the door of the living room.

At this time, Higashino Chihaya was bending over, with her palms on the door frame, only the upper half of her face was exposed, and her eyes were secretly looking at him.

She looked as if she was judging whether Higashino Division was lying to herself, but in fact he didn't have any friends at all.

So Higashino Division immediately added another sentence: "Can you move faster? I will go out to buy some ingredients later."

"Huh? Ah okay."

Konoe Lianghua listened to the urging words, no matter whether Higashinoji could see it or not, she nodded repeatedly.

Then she spoke a few words with Dong Yesi in a cautious manner, and then cut off the call.

"Is it solved?" Yumi Takahashi asked curiously from behind.

"Yeah, Mr. Higashino told me that you can go there and he told me the address. It's over there in Adachi Ward."

Konoe Lianghua nodded.

"Then there's no need to think about it, let's start now! For Lianghua's happiness!"

Takahashi Yumi yelled slogans that Konoe Suzuka couldn't hold her head up at all, and ran into the station without hesitation.

This guy is not afraid of falling easily in a mid-length skirt.

"Forget it, let's go too." Fujiwara Aoi shook her head speechlessly, took Konoe Suzuka, and followed Takahashi Yumi into the station.

It didn't take long for them to find the apartment where Higashino Division lived.

but

"Is that Mr. Higashino?" Seeing Higashinoji standing under the apartment surrounded by a group of children, Takahashi Yumi couldn't help turning her head to ask Konoe Suzuka next to her.

"It should be?" Konoe Lianghua was also a little confused.

Do the Higashino family have so many brothers and sisters?It looks like there are more than ten, right?

And seeing that they were having a good time, Fujiwara Aoi and the others didn't know how to come forward to say hello.

Fortunately, Higashinoji also saw them at this time, so he handed over the plastic marshmallows to these children, and walked over with a smile: "Student Konoe, Takahashi, Fujiwara, why are you standing here? come over."

Uh

Konoe Lianghua and the three subconsciously looked at the child following behind him.

"These are children from neighbors and businesses who often come to play." Higashino explained more or less: "Uncle Hirata from the butcher shop, Uncle Ino from the convenience store, and the most famous old flower in Xiacheng Town in our area The granddaughter of the Chidai mother-in-law."

Takahashi Yumi on the other side couldn't help being stunned by his familiar appearance; "Does Mr. Higashino remember these people?"

"Well, after all, I have to rely on them to take care of me." Dong Yesi waved his hand indifferently, and then entertained them: "Stop talking about this, please come in."

He turned and led them into the apartment.

"Ms. Higashino's communication skills are too strong, isn't it?" Looking at the back of Higashino Si leading the way, Takahashi Yumi behind was dumbfounded: "It is absolutely impossible for me to say hello to uncle and aunt."

"" Fujiwara Aoi.

Fujiwara Aoi didn't speak, but actually secretly agreed with Takahashi Yumi's words.

But maybe this is where Higashino Division's advantage lies.

Fujiwara Aoi thought that she was hostile to him before, but now she has no hostility at all, and even has some respect for him, so she exhaled.

Higashino Division's diplomatic skills are indeed very powerful.

They followed Higashinoji all the way upstairs until the door opened——

"A Si! You're back! Just now you said you went to pick up your friends, what about me?"

When Higashino Chihaya saw that it was Higashino Si coming back, she immediately jumped to the door two or three times, and then

She widened her eyes, with a look of incredulity on her face: "Si, besides Xiaochun, have you found so many girlfriends?"

one two Three

Higashino Chihaya counted in her heart, feeling even more like 'shocking Chihaya for 100 years'.

There are three girls!

And they all look cute.

The leading little girl with a single ponytail is very energetic, and her smile is particularly contagious.

The second one wears glasses. Although she is a bit short in stature, she is still a petite and cute type.

The third one is a bit scary.

Higashino Chihaya squeezed her chest subconsciously, and looked at the innocent and delicate face of the other party, she couldn't speak clearly: "Asi you"

Has my younger brother turned into a scumbag?

He caught so many girls back at every turn?

And Konoe Lianghua who was behind heard Chihaya Higashino's words "except for Xiaochun", and she was also nervous and had nothing to add.

Does Higashino already have a girlfriend?

Do you still have hope?

Regarding this reality, Konoe Lianghua found herself somewhat unacceptable.

But fortunately, Higashino seemed to sense Konoe Suzuka's mood at this time, and turned around to explain: "Xiaoharu refers to my manga editor, Hosokawa Koharu. Don't think about it."

"Yes, is it?" Konoe Lianghua breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, she really felt like a cardiac arrest when she learned that Higashino had a girlfriend named Shu Najin.

"Forget about that!" Chihaya Higashino pouted her mouth angrily, "Si, why did you bring three girls back? Didn't my sister tell you to be specific? Isn't that how you usually lie to little girls? "

OK I thought you had no friends.

I didn't expect you to bring back three girlfriends.

But honestly it's pretty cool.

"I never lie to girls, Chihaya-san." Higashino Chihaya touched Higashino Chihaya's head as a comfort, and then explained: "This is the friend who called me just now and wants to come to our house as a guest."

"Really?" Higashino Chihaya looked disbelieving.

Then she turned her head and pointed at Konoe Lianghua: "What about her? This child looks so cute and beautiful, shouldn't Asi not be interested?"

To her question, Higashinoji of course catered appropriately: "Student Konoe is really pretty, boys of the same age will like it."

After hearing what Higashino said, Takahashi Yumi on the other side also raised her head: "What about me? Teacher Higashino, I'm pretty too, right?"

"They are all beautiful, and all of them are rare beauties." Higashinoji teased, which made Takahashi Yumi giggle.

Finally, Konoe Suzuka and Takahashi Yumi finished dealing with it, and then Higashino turned around and called Fujiwara Aoi and the others into the house.

"Student Higashino, a small gift is not a respect, please accept it." Because Chihaya Higashino caught him off guard before, Aoi Fujiwara was still dizzy.

But when she heard Higashino Si call her to go in, she still reacted and gave her a present.

This can be regarded as a must-do etiquette, after all, they are here as guests, and it is impossible to come here empty-handed.

"Excuse me for your trouble." Higashinosi did not refuse, and accepted it calmly.

This is the kind of ordinary dim sum gift, which is just right for them to be unpacked later.

After entering the living room, Higashino introduced to Fujiwara Aoi and the others, "This is my sister, Higashino Chihaya."

"Hello, sister." Takahashi Yumi had a thick skin and naturally called Higashino Chihaya.

Konoe Lianghua was relatively thin-skinned, so he hesitated for a long time before uttering, "Hello, Miss Chihaya." '

Several of them are very sensible girls, and they can see that Higashino Chihaya has some mental problems, so they all seem very obedient.

"Everyone can treat this place as their own home. I'll go and prepare tea for you." After saying this, Dongyesi turned and went into the kitchen, and began to prepare snacks and tea for them.

And at the moment when Higashino turned around and entered the kitchen, Higashino Chihaya turned her head premeditatedly, looked at Takahashi Yumi and the other three seriously, and asked softly, "Are you all Asi's girlfriends?"

This time the carbine's question stunned all three of them, but Aoi Fujiwara was the first to realize: "Student Higashino and I are just friends."

Originally, she came here this time for Konoe Lianghua and Higashinoji's affairs, how could she admit such a thing?

Hearing Fujiwara Aoi's denial, Higashino Chihaya's eyes shifted to Takahashi Yumi, who looked like an ancient Chinese concubine selection old lady.

Of course, Takahashi Yumi also denied it with a smile: "I am not, I am a fan of Mr. Higashino! The one next to me is Mr. Higashino's girlfriend."

Without hesitation, she pushed Konoe Lianghua out with a puzzled face.

"I, I" felt Higashino Chihaya's eyes flashing like a light bulb, and Konoe Suzuka opened his mouth wide.

This is going a little fast.
